Chapter 1134
Stay Alert
“We must act immediately to stop the spread of these evil influences,” Shi Ji said in a deep voice.
Qing Xuanzi and Shi Ji immediately responded, and the three decided to temporarily put aside their research on the Boundary-Breaking Stone and deal with the immediate crisis first. They quickly left the research base and headed towards the direction where the crack had appeared.
When they arrived near the rift, they found that many cultivators had been possessed by evil energy, becoming frenzied and greedy. They plundered everywhere, absorbing the greed of those around them, causing the evil energy to grow stronger.
Shi Ji and her two companions immediately took action, using their magical powers to try and dispel the evil energy. However, the evil energy was exceptionally stubborn, as if it possessed its own will, constantly resisting their attacks.
“This can’t go on. We must find the source of the crack and solve the problem at its root,” Shi Ji said in a deep voice.
Qing Xuanzi and Shi Ji nodded in agreement, and they decided to delve deeper into the rift to find its source. However, the evil aura within the rift grew increasingly intense, as if forming a massive vortex that was devouring everything.
"Be careful, the evil aura here is too strong. We must stay alert and not let them control us," Qing Xuanzi warned.
Shi Ji and Shi Ji immediately became vigilant, using their magical powers to protect their minds as they struggled deeper into the crevice. After a difficult exploration, they finally found the source of the crevice—a black stone emitting an eerie light.
"Is this the source of the crack? It looks rather eerie," Shi Ji said, frowning.
Shi Ji stared at the black stone and said in a deep voice, "This black stone contains powerful evil energy, and it is probably inextricably linked to the demonic path. We must destroy it, otherwise the crack will not be able to close, and the evil energy will continue to spread."
Qing Xuanzi nodded in agreement: "That's right, we must act as soon as possible. Otherwise, the cultivation world will face an unprecedented crisis."
The three immediately launched an attack, using their magical powers to try and destroy the black stone. However, the black stone was exceptionally sturdy, as if it had its own protective layer, resisting their attacks.
Qing Xuanzi and Shi Ji immediately began searching for the black stone's weakness. After careful observation and testing, they finally discovered a tiny crack on the surface of the black stone.
“Look, there’s a crack there; that might be the Black Stone’s weakness,” Shi Ji said, pointing to the crack.
Shi Ji and Qing Xuanzi immediately noticed the crack and decided to concentrate their attack on it in an attempt to destroy the black stone. After a fierce attack, they finally succeeded in expanding the crack and ultimately destroyed the black stone.
As the black stone was destroyed, the cracks began to close gradually, and the evil aura slowly dissipated. Shi Ji and the other two finally breathed a sigh of relief; they knew that the crisis had finally been resolved.
However, they also knew that this was only a temporary victory. The demonic path had not been completely eradicated, and the road ahead was long. They had to be even more cautious and diligent in order to protect the peace and tranquility of this land.
Back at the research base, Shi Ji and the other two continued their in-depth study of the Boundary-Breaking Stone. They knew that only by fully mastering the secrets of the Boundary-Breaking Stone could they find a way to completely seal away the demonic path.
After a period of research, they finally discovered an important secret of the Boundary-Breaking Stone—it can not only connect the cultivation world with the demonic path, but also serve as a powerful sealing tool to completely seal the demonic path in another world.
This discovery thrilled the three; they knew they had found a way to completely seal away the demonic path. However, they also understood that the process would be exceptionally difficult and dangerous. They had to be fully prepared before implementing this plan.
In the days that followed, Shi Ji and her two companions began preparing their plan to seal away the demonic forces. They gathered materials from all over, crafted powerful sealing formations, and continuously cultivated immortal techniques to enhance their strength.
Finally, on a sunny day, they decided to put their plan into action. They brought the Boundary-Breaking Stone and the prepared sealing array to the entrance to the Demonic Path.
Here, they encountered the Netherworld Ancestor and many demonic masters who blocked their way.
Faced with the obstruction of the Netherworld Ancestor and numerous demonic experts, Shi Ji and her companions did not back down. They deeply understood the importance of this moment and the responsibility they bore. Shi Ji clenched her fists, her eyes fixed firmly on the Netherworld Ancestor, and said in a deep voice:
"Ancestor of the Netherworld, today we will surely seal away the demonic path completely and restore peace to the cultivation world!"
The Netherworld Ancestor sneered, his tone full of contempt: "Hmph, Shi Ji, you think the three of you can seal the demonic path? What wishful thinking! Today, I will show you that the power of the demonic path is irresistible!"
After speaking, the Netherworld Ancestor brandished his magic wand and launched a fierce attack on Shi Ji and the other two. The demonic masters followed closely behind, engaging in a fierce battle with Shi Ji and the others.
The battle was exceptionally fierce, with both sides giving their all. Although Shi Ji, Qing Xuanzi, and Shi Ji were all quite strong, the sheer number of demonic experts and the overwhelming power of the Netherworld Ancestor gradually made them feel overwhelmed.
Just then, Shi Ji was caught off guard and struck by the Netherworld Ancestor's magic wand, suffering severe injuries. He screamed in agony, spitting out blood, and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.
"Shi Ji!" Qing Xuanzi and Shi Ji were shocked to see this and immediately rushed forward to help Shi Ji up.
Shi Ji was pale and weak. He barely opened his eyes, looked at Qing Xuanzi and Shi Ji, and said with difficulty, "I'm fine, you two continue, you must seal the demonic path!"
Upon hearing this, a resolute glint flashed in Qing Xuanzi and Shi Ji's eyes. They knew Shi Ji's injuries were severe and required immediate treatment. However, they also understood that the situation was urgent and they could not abandon their plan to seal the demonic path.
"Shiji, don't worry, we will definitely complete the mission!" Qing Xuanzi clenched his fists, his eyes shining with determination.
Shi Ji nodded, then looked at the Netherworld Ancestor and the demonic experts, a cold glint in his eyes: "Netherworld Ancestor, your demonic path is doomed to defeat today!"
Having said that, Qing Xuanzi and Shi Ji turned and threw themselves into the battle. They fought with all their might, engaging in a fierce battle with the demonic masters. After a fierce struggle, they finally managed to defeat the Netherworld Ancestor and the demonic masters, and successfully embedded the Boundary-Breaking Stone into the sealing array. As the power of the Boundary-Breaking Stone was released, a powerful seal gradually formed, completely sealing the demonic path into another world. Qing Xuanzi and Shi Ji watched as the entrance to the demonic path gradually disappeared and the sealed evil energy was removed, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
However, they also understood that this was only a temporary victory. Shi Ji's injuries were serious and she needed treatment as soon as possible. They immediately took Shi Ji away from the battlefield and returned to the research base.
At the research base, Qing Xuanzi and Shi Ji used their immortal arts to heal Shi Ji's injuries. They knew Shi Ji's injuries were severe and required careful treatment. After much effort, they finally succeeded in stabilizing Shi Ji's condition.
However, Shi Ji's injuries remained severe, requiring a long period of rest and treatment. Qing Xuanzi and Shi Ji decided to stay at the research base to care for her and continue their research on the Boundary-Breaking Stone, in order to prevent the demonic path from invading again.
As the days passed, Shi Ji's injuries gradually improved. Under the meticulous care of Qing Xuanzi and Shi Ji, his body slowly recovered, and his strength gradually increased. However, he also understood that his injuries were still serious, and he needed to be even more careful with his body and cultivation.
During this time, Qing Xuanzi and Shi Ji continued their in-depth research on the Boundary-Breaking Stone. They discovered that the Boundary-Breaking Stone not only contained immense power but also had intricate connections to the laws of the cultivation world. They decided to continue their research on the Boundary-Breaking Stone in hopes of uncovering more secrets about the cultivation world and the demonic path.
Finally, one day, Shi Ji's injuries were fully healed, and his strength reached an unprecedented level. He looked gratefully at Qing Xuanzi and Shi Ji, and said in a deep voice:
"Thank you all. Without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand here anymore."
Upon hearing this, Qing Xuanzi and Shi Ji exchanged a smile. They knew that Shi Ji's rapid recovery was not only due to their meticulous care, but also to his own resilience and perseverance.
"Shiji, you're too kind. We're brothers, comrades-in-arms. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we'll face them together and solve them together," Qing Xuanzi said with a smile, patting Shiji on the shoulder.
Shi Ji nodded: "That's right, Shi Ji, we all admire your strength and resilience. Now that your injuries have healed, we can continue to fight side by side to protect the peace and tranquility of this land."
Upon hearing this, a resolute glint flashed in Shi Ji's eyes. He knew that although the demonic path had been sealed, the road ahead was still long. They needed to be even more cautious and diligent in order to protect the peace and tranquility of this world.
"Qing Xuanzi, Shi Ji, you are right. We have achieved a temporary victory, but the challenges ahead remain severe. We must be more cautious and work harder to protect the peace and tranquility of this land. Now that my injuries have healed, we can continue to fight side by side!" Shi Ji said with great spirit.
Upon hearing this, Qing Xuanzi and Shi Ji exchanged a smile. They knew that Shi Ji's return would bring them new strength and confidence. They would continue to fight side by side, protecting the peace and tranquility of this world, forever.
Shi Ji, Qing Xuanzi, and Shi Ji continued their in-depth research on the Boundary-Breaking Stone, exploring the secrets of the cultivation world and the demonic path. They collected materials from all over to forge more powerful immortal artifacts and magic arrays, enhancing their strength.
While Shiji, Qingxuanzi, and Shiji were working hard to protect the peace of the cultivation world, the demon realm was not silent. Although the Netherworld Ancestor was sealed away, the forces of the demon realm were still restless, seeking opportunities for revenge and counterattack.
Deep within the Demon Realm, in a pitch-black palace, several high-ranking members of the Demon Realm were gathered together, their faces filled with anger and resentment.
"The Netherworld Ancestor has actually been sealed! This is a disgrace to our Demon Realm!" a demon general roared, his eyes flashing with mad flames.
"Hmph, those people in the cultivation world are truly cunning. However, they shouldn't be too optimistic. Although the Netherworld Ancestor has been sealed away, the power of our Demon Realm hasn't disappeared yet!" another demon general said with a sneer, holding a demonic blade that shimmered with malevolent energy in his hand.
“That’s right, we must find a way to rescue the Netherworld Ancestor, and at the same time, we must find new opportunities to challenge the cultivation world!” A wise man from the Demon Realm said in a deep voice, his eyes gleaming with cunning.
Just then, a scout from the demon realm rushed in, his face filled with panic: "Reporting to all sirs, the people of the cultivation world are gathering materials everywhere to forge even more powerful immortal artifacts and magic arrays, and their strength is constantly increasing!"
"What? They actually dare to increase their strength? They're courting death!" a demon general roared, slamming his hand on the table, instantly shattering the tea set on it.
"Hmph, so what if they increase their strength? We demons aren't pushovers either. Pass down the order, have all the demon experts prepare. Once we have the chance, we'll launch a fierce attack on the cultivation world!" another demon general said with a sneer, his eyes flashing with bloodlust.
"At the same time, we must also find a way to exploit the weakness of the Boundary-Breaking Stone. Once we destroy it, the Netherworld Ancestor will regain his freedom, and our Demon Realm will usher in a new era of glory!" The wise man of the Demon Realm said in a deep voice, his eyes shining with determination.
Thus, the Demon Realm embarked on a frenzied operation. They gathered intelligence everywhere, searching for the weaknesses of the Boundary-Breaking Stone, while also sending experts to infiltrate the cultivation world, looking for an opportunity to launch an attack.
However, Shi Ji, Qing Xuanzi, and Shi Ji were not entirely unaware. They kept a close eye on the movements of the Demon Realm while also strengthening their defenses against the cultivation world.
“The people of the Demon Realm will definitely not let this go, we must remain vigilant at all times,” Shi Ji said in a deep voice, his eyes gleaming with determination.
“That’s right, we have achieved a temporary victory, but the road ahead is still long. We must be more cautious and work harder to safeguard the peace and tranquility of this land.” Qing Xuanzi nodded, his face full of seriousness.
"I will continue to study the Boundary-Breaking Stone and seek out more of its secrets. At the same time, we will also refine more powerful immortal artifacts and magic arrays to enhance our strength," Shi Ji said, a shimmering immortal sword already appearing in his hand.
Shi Ji, Qing Xuanzi, and Shi Ji continued their in-depth research on the Boundary-Breaking Stone, while also strengthening the defenses of the cultivation world. They searched far and wide for materials to forge more powerful immortal artifacts and magic arrays, thereby enhancing their own strength.
Meanwhile, the Demon Realm was not idle either. They continuously sent experts to infiltrate the cultivation world, looking for an opportunity to launch an attack. However, Shi Ji, Qing Xuanzi, and Shi Ji's strength was now vastly different from before, and they easily defeated these lurking Demon Realm experts one by one.
Shi Ji, Qing Xuanzi, and Shi Ji were not only busy researching the Boundary-Breaking Stone and improving their own strength, but they also decided to recruit a new group of disciples to cultivate more rising stars for the cultivation world. They deeply understood that only by continuously strengthening the power of the cultivation world could they better protect the peace and tranquility of this world. (End of Chapter)
