Chapter 473
: The War Begins
"Let's go down first. This matter should be dealt with as soon as possible."
As Zhu Jiuge said this, he jumped directly into the bottomless black hole. Long Xuan raised his eyebrows. Is the method to enter the sealed place so simple?
He suppressed his fear of the unknown abyss and jumped in immediately after.
The other four clones followed closely behind, and another clone pushed open the door and walked out of the room, going to refine the chess Gu as instructed by Long Xuan.
Repairing the seal requires drawing a huge amount of array patterns, which cannot be completed in a short period of time. He hopes that the day he finishes repairing the seal will be the day when the chess Gu is completed.
At this time, the number of people in the Demon-Suppressing Tower was scattered, much less than two years ago. The rooms on the top few floors were not even fully occupied.
Because of someone, the spiritual power in the Demon Suppressing Tower has been greatly reduced. Although there are still people going in to practice, most people do not intend to waste the time entering the Demon Suppressing Tower to absorb the thin spiritual power.
Therefore, there are very few people who come to the Demon-Suppressing Tower to practice every day. Most people stop and wait. However, what they didn't expect was that this wait would last for two years.
Everyone was going crazy. That monster could actually practice in the Demon-Suppressing Tower for two years. Such a long time exceeded everyone's expectations.
However, today, that person finally walked out of the Demon-Suppressing Tower. Seeing that person finally coming out, everyone was almost crying with joy.
"He's out! He's out! He's finally out!"
"The spiritual power in the Demon Suppression Tower has been restored. Haha, hurry up!"
"Oh my god, he finally came out. Do you know how I have been living these past two years?"
The crowd went completely crazy and rushed towards the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
……
At this time, under the Demon-Suppressing Tower, there was an endless abyss without a trace of light. Long Xuan groped around in the pitch-black darkness.
It is too dark under the Demon-Suppressing Tower. Anyone who enters here will not be able to see anything.
Long Xuan tried to use lights and heavenly fire for illumination, but the incredible thing was that any light would mysteriously disappear here. Heavenly fire could appear here and release temperature, but it would not emit light.
Even the light from the skyfire will disappear here, not to mention other means of lighting.
In this world, anyone will become blind, darkness will create fear, and this is really not a place where normal humans can stay.
In particular, the violent spiritual power here is far stronger than that in Room No. 1 on the ninth floor of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and is extremely corrosive. If an ordinary person enters here, he will be killed by the spiritual power here in a short time.
Too much is as bad as too little. Although the spiritual power here is a great tonic for humans, once the amount is too large, it will become a deadly poison.
Long Xuan took a deep breath and said solemnly: "This world can actually absorb light. Even the soul's perception will be greatly suppressed here."
"Anyone who enters here will become completely blind. Once they encounter danger, it will be fatal."
At this time, Zhu Jiuge's voice came from the side: "So the name of this monster is Yuan."
"Yuan's ability is to create an endless abyss. The terrible abyss has no end. All the creatures swallowed into the abyss will never be able to get out, because the abyss is so big that it has no boundaries. There is no telling how much spiritual power is stored in the endless world."
Hearing this, Long Xuan showed a shocked expression, reached out to the place where the sound came from, and grabbed a soft little hand, which visibly trembled twice at this time.
It was too dark here. Anyone who entered here would become blind. He was afraid of getting separated from Zhu Jiuge and never being able to contact her again, so he decisively grabbed her hand.
Otherwise, once lost in this world, Zhu Jiuge could rely on his amazing luck to get out of here, but he might not.
"What on earth is this monster? Do you know where it came from?" Long Xuan took a deep breath and asked curiously.
Zhu Jiuge glared at him, but still patiently explained: "The origin of Yuan is too ancient, and can be traced back to when this world was just born."
"That was the most ancient era, before humans were born in this world. The first batch of living beings were born in heaven and earth. These living beings were also called true spirits by ancient humans."
"The True Spirits have strange appearances, are incredibly large, and all have infinite lifespans."
"These true spirits can be an ocean, a huge mountain, or a cloud. They can be any shape you can't imagine."
"But what they all have in common is that they are large, large enough to give you an endless view."
"A larger size will inevitably store more spiritual power. Their size is countless times larger than that of humans, so their spiritual power reserves are naturally countless times more than that of humans."
"Especially at that time, the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth was so dense that it was about to burst into water, and those true spirits all had infinite lifespans. After absorbing spiritual energy for countless years, who knows how much spiritual energy they had in their bodies."
"The abyss under our feet is one of the powerful true spirits. Its form is the abyss. It masters the rules of the abyss and is extremely difficult to kill."
"It is said that after being severely injured by a powerful human, Yuan's strength was reduced to one hundredth of what it was. Under the suppression of the formation, he has not been able to recover from his injuries. Otherwise, Yuan in his prime might not be able to be trapped by this Locking Yuan formation."
Hearing this, Long Xuan was extremely shocked. Could his future self really defeat such a terrifying existence? Even though this existence's current strength was only one hundredth of what it was, he was still a little scared.
……
At this time, in the four major departments of Sheng Gu Academy, in the dean's room.
"Dean, the request for assistance has been sent out. The old students who graduated from the Holy Gu Academy are now rushing to the Holy Gu Academy from all over the world."
"The students who are nearby have already arrived at Sheng Gu City."
The dean nodded and sighed, "Although the Holy Gu Academy has trained countless Gu Kings for the Gu world, not all Gu Kings are nostalgic, and not all Gu Kings have free time."
"According to your estimation, how many old students will come back to help Saint Gu Academy in this disaster?"
The old woman who had just spoken was silent for a moment, then hesitated and said, "It should be at least eight hundred, right?"
"With so many Gu Kings, we can already contend against Ancestor Ling Tian and the forces behind him."
The dean shook his head, stood up, put his hands behind his back and walked to the window. He looked at the students walking around in the academy and said sadly, "Ancestor Ling Tian has discovered the secret of the Holy Gu Academy. This battle is inevitable. I don't know how many innocent students will die in this battle."
"Even if the Holy Gu Academy is lucky enough to kill Ancestor Ling Tian, we will definitely suffer heavy losses, and there will definitely be a lot of deaths."
The old woman frowned, walked over and said, "Is this Ling Tian Patriarch really so terrifying? Our Saint Gu Academy was able to recall so many Gu King students to defend, but we were only lucky enough to defeat him." The dean shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The Central Region is the center of this world, with the most powerful people in this world. Doesn't the Feng family, one of the top ten powerful clans in the Central Region, have a small number of Gu Kings? Wasn't it still wiped out by Feng Wuhen alone?"
"This Feng Wuhen is a rare prodigy in the Feng family that is hard to come by in a million years. The highest geniuses of his clan can only see the virtual worms on the sixth layer of space, but he can directly see the virtual worms on the ninth layer, which are the deepest and most hidden."
"It's really scary that the clan only reached the third level on the second day after falling directly into the clan."
"That is to say, he can see all the Xu Gu in the hands of his people, but none of his people can see his Xu Gu. He can slaughter his people as easily as slaughtering dogs."
“Killing foreign Gu cultivators who don’t understand Xu Gu is like cutting melons and vegetables.”
“No matter how many Gu King students we recall, as long as no one can see the Void Gu he releases, we will just be beaten and our chances of winning will be extremely slim.”
Hearing this, the old woman looked relaxed and said nonchalantly: "No matter how strong the ninth-level Void Gu he refined is, there are still a limited number of them. We have more people, so what if we just let him kill us?"
"As long as we have enough Gu Kings, we can capture the king first. Feng Wuhen will never be our opponent."
The dean shook his head, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "It's not that simple."
"Ancient books record that in a very distant period, the heaven and earth were overrun with virtual insects, killing the human race to the point of extinction."
"Finally, a genius named Feng Jie created a poisonous insect called the Eye of Apocalypse, which used over 10 million ingredients."
"The Eye of Apocalypse is naturally strong against Void Bugs. All Void Bugs seen by the Eye of Apocalypse can be controlled unconditionally."
“It was with the Eye of Revelation that Feng Jie sealed all the virtual insects in the world in the Sealing Spirit Tower and pacified the chaotic world.”
"As a result, the Feng family became the guardians of the virtual insects, guarding the Sealing Spirit Pagoda for generations, and even constantly sacrificed the lives of their clansmen to strengthen the seal inside the Sealing Spirit Pagoda."
"In an era when spiritual energy was scarce, the Feng family never gave up on restoring the Eye of Apocalypse to the Gu world."
"But the amount of materials needed to make the Eye of Revelation is too huge, the success rate is too low, and the materials are too expensive. The Feng family has exhausted their resources for generations, but they have not been able to successfully refine the Eye of Revelation."
"Finally, in this generation, after tens of thousands of years, they have finally succeeded in refining the Eye of Revelation. The entire Feng family is jubilant."
“But for some reason, after discussion, the clan leaders unanimously decided to give the Eye of Apocalypse to Feng Wulei, who was born the next day in the clan, instead of giving it to Feng Wuhen, whose talent far exceeds that of Feng Wulei.”
"Finally, Feng Wuhen slaughtered the entire clan in a rage, took away the Eye of Apocalypse, and took the Spirit Sealing Tower with him."
“The Eye of Apocalypse can calm a chaotic world, but it can also bring about chaos. A person who possesses the Eye of Apocalypse can control the vast number of virtual insects in the Spirit Sealing Tower, which is equivalent to having the power to destroy the world.”
“Once Feng Wuhen opens the Spirit Sealing Tower without regard for the consequences and releases all the virtual insects suppressed in the tower, the world will usher in doomsday.”
"This is exactly what I'm worried about. We have to defeat him, but we can't push him too far. A cautious fight will inevitably lead to greater casualties. How difficult it is."
Hearing this, the old woman frowned deeply, her face finally became solemn, and after a long silence, she finally said: "He won't open the Soul Sealing Tower easily."
“Although his Eye of Revelation can control all the virtual insects in the world, it is not without restrictions. Feng Jie died because he controlled too many virtual insects, which led to the exhaustion of his pupil power.”
"Feng Wuhen's current realm is too low. As for the most terrifying virtual insects in the Sealing Spirit Pagoda, he should only be able to release them, but it is difficult to take them back."
"These virtual insects that have been suppressed for a long time must have escaped. When they can no longer be controlled by the Eye of Apocalypse, they may kill him first."
"If he overuses the power in the Spirit Sealing Tower, he will definitely end up burning himself."
The dean nodded and said, "You are right. He has concerns. As long as he is not pushed into a corner, he will not easily release the most dangerous virtual insect in the Spirit Sealing Tower."
The dean narrowed his eyes and said, "The key to defeating Feng Wuhen may still lie in Zhu Jiuge."
"Anyone who dares to attack Zhu Jiuge will be in trouble. As long as Zhu Jiuge is still in the Saint Gu Academy when Feng Wuhen leads his men to attack, this disaster can be avoided."
……
At the same time, in the Central Region, Lingtian Sect.
Feng Wuhen threw an ancient jade slip on the table, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "This should be it."
"I can't believe that the expert who founded the Saint Gu Academy actually sealed a true spirit and mass-produced experts by absorbing the spiritual power of the true spirit. This is a genius idea and a bold one."
"This true spirit named Yuan possesses omnipotent spiritual power. Not only is it of extremely high quality, it can also be absorbed by anyone. It is simply a priceless treasure." Feng Wuhen's eyes revealed an extremely greedy look.
"Ancestor, do you want to snatch this true spirit away?" asked an old man beside him.
Feng Wuhen looked at him and sneered, "Rob? Do you think you can just rob that thing?"
"I got lost in that place this time and was almost unable to get out. We can't contend with that terrifying existence even if it is seriously injured."
Feng Wuhen retracted his gaze and said with a very serious expression: "We must not act rashly in that place. If we accidentally release that thing, all of us will die."
"For now, we can only kill all the people in the Holy Gu Academy and completely occupy that place. I want to use that tower as a cradle to train strong men of my Lingtian Sect."
Feng Wuhen slammed the table heavily, his eyes sharp and his voice fierce.
Hearing this, the old man was startled and hurriedly said, "Old Ancestor, think twice. That place is the Holy Gu Academy. I don't know how many Gu Kings have been trained for the Gu world over the years."
"Many well-known masters in the Gu world come from the Saint Gu Academy, and many major forces in the Gu world are also related to the Saint Gu Academy."
"The Holy Gu Academy has a very wide network of contacts. Once a crisis occurs, they can call on graduates from all over the world to come to our rescue. Then we will be in trouble." The old man said in shock.
"Humph! Do you really think I'm a fool? It's easy to destroy the Holy Gu Academy, but the hard part is how to completely occupy that place."
"We must have enough deterrent power to prevent the large number of graduates from having thoughts of revenge."
Feng Wuhen stood up, walked to the window and looked into the distance, his eyes deep as he said, "It seems that with the strength of my Lingtian Sect, it is difficult to take over that place. We can only join forces with many demonic forces to deal with this matter."
"Pass my order and immediately send a letter to the leaders of the Blood God Cult, the Demon God Cult, the Bone God Cult... and so on. I want to invite all the leaders of the nearby demonic forces to a dinner." (End of this chapter)
