Chapter 474
Meritorious Service
Four months later.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
……
One after another, black mist slammed into the barrier crazily, making deafening noises one after another.
The barrier flickered with light under each bombardment, but it remained standing, blocking all attacks from the black fog.
Long Xuan stood in front of a huge metal pillar. The blazing sunset divine flames burned the golden pillar. Under the powerful soul force, one invisible tiny array pattern after another was left on the golden pillar.
Such a small place, the size of a palm, can accommodate more than ten thousand array patterns.
And how many palm-sized areas are there of this golden pillar? And how many such golden pillars are there here?
How could a formation that could seal a true spirit be simple? The number of formation bases was beyond imagination.
In other words, the number of souls that Long Xuan can control are too many, and he can use the power of the souls to draw the array patterns. Otherwise, he alone would not be able to complete such a huge workload.
If he didn't have the help of his split soul, even if he spent a hundred years here, it would be difficult for him to get out of this place.
His soul, combined with the souls of his other avatars, shortened the hundred-year construction period to four months.
"It's been four months. How long will it take?" Zhu Jiuge asked anxiously.
She couldn't help at all here, but she stayed with Long Xuan for four months without leaving.
Although she has not left, she has not wasted her time for cultivation. The density of spiritual power here is too high, much higher than the Demon-Suppressing Tower above. For others, this place is dangerous, but for a genius, this is a holy place for cultivation.
Zhu Jiuge has been practicing here for four months and has completely consolidated his realm as the Gu King.
"It will be over soon. It will definitely be over today."
A slight smile appeared on Long Xuan's lips. In less than a day, he would be able to leave this damn place.
He didn't want to stay in this dark place for even a day longer.
"By the way, my clone found a lot of Gu Kings outside. The situation may be a little bad. Something big happened outside." Long Xuan suddenly frowned and said solemnly.
His Yan clone had been outside refining chess Gu for him and could easily know what was happening outside.
At this time, a large number of Gu Kings gathered in the Holy Gu Academy. After a quick look, the number of Gu Kings was about to break a thousand. Is this the foundation of an academy during wartime? He couldn't help but smack his lips.
The other force that is confronting the Gu Kings of the Holy Gu Academy is equally not simple. It seems like an alliance of many demonic forces. Although the number of Gu Kings is much less than that of the Holy Gu Academy, each of them is fearless and has a fierce look on their face, and it is obvious that they are very confident.
The two sides faced off at the gate of the college, looking tense, and it seemed that a war was about to break out.
Not knowing what happened outside that caused so many Gu Kings to engage in a fight, Long Xuan was very curious and wanted to rush out to take a look.
"Don't worry about them. Our mission is to repair the formation here. Everything else has nothing to do with us."
Although Zhu Jiuge said this, he looked over there with eyes full of worry.
……
On the ground at this time.
"Haha! Dean, we meet again. We didn't have a satisfying fight last time. How about we fight to the death this time?"
As a light laugh sounded, a handsome young man walked out of the crowd and looked sharply at the old man who was leading the crowd opposite.
"Hmph! Ancestor Ling Tian! How dare you dare to attack my Holy Gu Academy? Do you really think you can swallow up the Holy Gu Academy with just these people? Don't break your teeth."
The dean looked at the group of Gu Kings behind the leading young man, and the more he looked, the heavier his mood became.
These people are all well-known demon cultivators in the Central Region, and there are even many leaders of demon cults, all of whom have a bad reputation. With such a large lineup, even if the ancestor Ling Tian does not take action, these people are enough to severely damage the Holy Gu Academy.
"Old Dean, I'm too lazy to chat with you. I'll just get straight to the point. We have our eyes on this piece of land. You take everyone here and leave as soon as possible. I promise not to kill anyone."
Patriarch Ling Tian didn't waste any words. He bared his fangs after just a few words and looked at the dean with murderous eyes, which was full of threats.
“Hahaha…” The dean laughed wildly, looked at him and said coldly, “How arrogant! You covet other people’s territory and want to drive them out. You Lingtian Sect are really overbearing.”
"You just want to take over the Demon Suppression Tower. Since you can't move the Demon Suppression Tower, you want to occupy this place."
"But the space in the Demon Suppression Tower is limited. With so many forces coming, are you sure there will be enough space?"
The dean glanced at the faces of the demon practitioners and smiled meaningfully.
"Don't bother to sow discord. We have already discussed how to distribute the funds, so you don't need to worry about it."
Elder Ling Tian showed a greedy look in his eyes and said with a smile: "I can't believe that your Saint Gu Academy actually sealed a true spirit and mass-produced strong people by absorbing the powerful spiritual power of the true spirit. What a bold idea."
"All of us are very excited about the power of the True Spirit. My Lingtian Sect also needs such a holy place for cultivation. I am determined to get this Demon Suppression Tower. Will you let me have it?"
Patriarch Ling Tian narrowed his eyes and threatened again.
"Humph! You only use this place as a tool for cultivation. You don't understand what this place means at all. If I give this place to you, it will be a disaster for mankind."
"Don't waste your words. I will never give you the Demon Suppression Tower. If you want to take the Demon Suppression Tower, then you have to walk over my dead body."
The dean turned his head to look at the students behind him, and shouted loudly, "All teachers and students, listen to my order and swear to protect the Holy Gu Academy until your death."
As soon as the words fell, the teachers and students behind him shouted together: "We swear to protect the Holy Gu Academy until our death."
The sound resounded through the sky and penetrated the clouds.
Ancestor Ling Tian's face gradually darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "If you don't accept my toast, then I will punish you. Since you want to die, I will grant your wish."
"Kill me! Leave no one behind!"
Patriarch Lingtian waved his hand forward, and a large number of demon cultivators behind him immediately rushed forward with grim smiles on their faces, engaging in a melee with the Gu cultivators from the Holy Gu Academy.
The two sides only came into contact with each other for a moment when the Gu King died. Both sides suffered casualties, but in the end, the Holy Gu Academy had more people, so at the beginning of the melee, the Holy Gu Academy had the upper hand.
Ancestor Ling Tian did not take action immediately. Seeing that more and more of his own men were being killed, he was not anxious at all. Instead, a smile appeared on his face.
The group of people he brought with him were an alliance of major demonic forces that were temporarily united for the sake of interests. The fact that these forces suffered greater losses was not a bad thing for him.
The dean also did not move, his aura locked onto Elder Ling Tian, his eyes fixed on him. "Elder Ling Tian, what are you waiting for! Just kill this old man. If you don't take action, all our people will die."
After a while, as an angry voice sounded in the crowd, Patriarch Ling Tian knew that he could not wait any longer. Although it would be beneficial for him to kill a group of Gu cultivators from other forces in the alliance, he could not allow the loss to be too heavy.
At this time, he took out a nine-layer silver tower from his arms and held it in his hand. He looked at the dean and said with a smile: "Look at what this is?"
"Old man, I'll give you one last chance. It's not too late for you to order your men to surrender."
"Otherwise, I can guarantee that no one here will be alive." Elder Ling Tian's eyes became fierce and he said harshly to the dean.
When the dean saw this small silver tower, his heart sank and his eyes became extremely solemn.
“The Spirit Sealing Tower? The Spirit Sealing Tower is in your hands indeed!”
"Humph! In order to control the power of this tower, you even slaughtered your entire clan. You have done something so outrageous that everyone, including God, must be killed!"
"Today, even if I have to risk my life, I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!"
The dean roared and finally rushed towards ancestor Lingtian!
"Stubborn!"
Ancestor Ling Tian showed an angry look and patted the insect breeding bag. The insect breeding bag moved violently, but nothing flew out.
However, when the dean saw his actions, his face changed instantly, as if he had encountered something terrible, and he quickly threw out a golden bell to cover himself.
"clang……"
The moment he sacrificed the big bell, the big bell was attacked by some unknown force and rang out several deafening sounds.
At the same time, several white marks appeared on the body of the golden bell.
"Vajra Bell? I didn't expect you to have this treasure. You are lucky."
The attack was fruitless and Patriarch Lingtian flew high into the air. At the same time, a small silver nine-story tower also flew up from his palm, getting bigger and bigger, until it reached the size of a normal tower and stopped growing.
The moment the Spirit Sealing Tower stopped growing, the doors on the first, second, third, and fourth floors all opened. No one knew what flew out from inside, but from the strong wind gushing out of the tower and the dense "whooshing" sounds coming out, it was not difficult to tell that a lot of things flew out.
Soon, the strong men from the Holy Gu Academy, who had originally had the upper hand, suddenly fell in a pool of blood in large numbers.
These dead people seemed to have been ambushed by unknown attackers. Most of the fatal injuries occurred on the back. They were killed before they could react. Many of them died with their eyes open.
The Gu cultivators on the side of the Holy Gu Academy suffered heavy losses in just a moment, and the battle situation immediately turned into a situation where Ancestor Ling Tian had the upper hand, while the side of the Holy Gu Academy fell into a great disadvantage.
All the Gu practitioners in the Holy Gu Academy were stunned by the sudden change. They looked around in panic, as if they were frightened, fearing that they would be attacked by something.
However, they soon discovered that they could not see this thing no matter what. Facing its sneak attack, there was no solution except to activate the maximum defense and resist it.
In this situation, they simply couldn't concentrate on dealing with the opponents in front of them, and from time to time, the academy's Gu Kings were killed by their opponents due to distraction.
"Oh no!" Seeing this scene, the dean's eyes were bloodshot.
In order to deal with the virtual worms in the hands of Patriarch Ling Tian, he looked for a large number of Gu cultivators who possessed pupil Gu. These Gu cultivators who possessed pupil Gu were not considered weak in the Gu world, but they still could not see the virtual worms hidden in the ninth layer.
In this situation, they can only be slaughtered wantonly by Ancestor Ling Tian without any ability to fight back, and they will have no chance of winning this battle.
The dean clenched his fists and gritted his teeth tighter and tighter.
"Haha! Don't waste your energy. Your preparations are completely useless. My Feng family is the number one family with pupil skills. If my virtual worms were so easily seen by pupil Gu, the Feng family would not have been exterminated by me!"
Patriarch Lingtian laughed wildly and looked at the dean with a teasing look.
At this time, on the other side, in the direction of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, Long Xuan stood on the top of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, looking at the battle in the distance with a serious gaze.
He had seen those insects released by Patriarch Lingtian that were invisible to the naked eye when he went to the mortal world to snatch the Bu Tian Fruit.
Only pupil Gu and spiritual eyes can see this type of insect called virtual insects. The stronger the pupil power, the more virtual insects it can see. The most deeply hidden virtual insects can only be seen with the top-level pupil Gu.
However, facing the large number of virtual insects released by Patriarch Lingtian, Long Xuan discovered that his Eye of Heaven could only see most of them, and a small part was invisible.
You can imagine how dangerous it would be to encounter an invisible spiritual insect in battle.
"How much can you see?" Long Xuan turned his head and looked at Zhu Jiuge and asked.
Zhu Jiuge shook his head and sighed, "I broke through to Gu King in such a short time that even I couldn't see some of the Void Insects and Void Gu."
"Do you have a way to see all the virtual worms and virtual Gu? If we can't find the virtual worms on the ninth floor, then the Saint Gu Academy will be in danger today." Zhu Jiuge frowned slightly and said anxiously
Long Xuan knew the seriousness of the problem and did not dare to hide his shortcomings. The existence of the Holy Gu Academy brought more benefits than disadvantages to him. He absolutely did not want the Holy Gu Academy to be destroyed and replaced by a group of demon cultivators to control the Demon Suppression Tower.
At this moment, he finally used his greatest weapon, sweeping his sharp gaze across the battlefield. Suddenly, one progress after another in the air appeared in his sight.
And in these places where progress appears, no entity can be seen with the naked eye.
After discovering the locations of all the deepest hidden virtual worms, Long Xuan did not dare to waste time and immediately used soul transmission to tell the location of the ninth layer of virtual worms.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiuge's eyes suddenly lit up and he showed a look of surprise.
There was no time to ask Long Xuan how he discovered the location of those virtual insects, as she had already rushed towards the battlefield.
Long Xuan was shocked and was about to intercept her, but suddenly he remembered that she was already a genuine Gu King and was qualified to participate in this battle, so he withdrew his hand in disappointment.
As soon as Zhu Jiuge entered the battlefield, black figures flew out from the ground one after another. There were too many of them to count. These figures were like standing shadows, without substance, and were almost immune to all attacks.
Under Long Xuan's guidance, this group of shadows knew clearly the locations of all the virtual insects and rushed towards each location frantically.
Long Xuan already had some understanding of Shadow Tong and knew that this was the shadow demon bred by the Shadow Realm that was immune to all attacks.
With the appearance of massive shadow demons, the Void Worms seemed to have met their nemesis. Their attacks would penetrate the shadows and would not cause any damage to the shadow demons.
On the other hand, this group of shadow demons can easily kill each virtual worm after knowing its location.
Soon, a large number of virtual insects died tragically at the hands of the Shadow Demon, and the pressure on the Gu practitioners of the Holy Gu Academy was greatly reduced.
The Shadow Demon not only killed the virtual insects, but also the demon cultivators. The attacks of the demon cultivators were also ineffective against the Shadow Demon. In this situation, a large number of demon cultivators were quickly killed by the Shadow Demon.
As a result, the ever-changing battlefield reversed again, and the Holy Gu Academy gained the upper hand.
Seeing this scene, the dean finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, as expected, Zhu Jiuge's incredible luck can solve all difficulties.
Fortunately, Zhu Jiuge is here today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. (End of this chapter)
