Pick up the treasure bag and start cultivating immortals from the shrinking lamp.

Chapter 154: Yama Demon Statue
Infinite hell.

A huge demon god appeared, he was ten feet tall, wearing a crown and a robe. There were rolling dark clouds surrounding him. He was like an ancient demon god, staring coldly at Xia Chen. His powerful demonic aura was terrifying and frightening!
"You have committed many sins of killing. It seems that you have killed countless lives. Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Monster, capture him and let him have a good taste of the eighteen levels of hell!"

King Yama pointed at Xia Chen with his tablet and shouted.

The demonic sound was eerie and terrifying, with endless evil spirit emanating from it.

The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons held iron chains and rushed over roaring.

Wow…

The pitch-black iron chains continued to lengthen and intertwine, forming a dragnet that enveloped Xia Chen.

Ding! Ding! …

Xia Chen pointed with one hand, and several sword energies burst out, directly cutting the iron chains crisscrossing in the air into countless pieces and dropping them to the ground.

Then, a huge treasure bottle appeared above his head, with brilliant light flowing on the bottle wall and a vast energy wave rippling in it.

Immediately afterwards, the vase began to spin, and brilliant divine light burst out from the mouth of the vase, blasting towards the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters.

In just a few breaths, the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons were annihilated and disappeared.

The strength of these two Yin Gods is quite impressive, equivalent to half-step golden elixir.

But this Yuehua Tianbao Bottle is one of the three top-grade treasures of the master's lineage, and it possesses extremely terrifying power, so it can naturally kill the two of them easily.

However, the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters will soon be born in hell.

It just requires some energy from the Hell Box.

"How dare you to slaughter the underworld gods? I will skin you alive and demote your soul to the underworld, where you will never be able to turn over a new leaf!"

King Yama was angry.

The next moment, a violent aura shook the heaven and earth, and the huge body burst out with ocean-like waves, which was shocking and made people tremble.

The tablet in his hand rapidly enlarged, like a mountain, majestic and powerful, instantly filling the sky with a huge black mass that seemed to be able to crush the heaven and earth!
Xia Chen retreated rapidly.

boom!
The tablet hit the ground, and several cracks appeared on the ground.

Xia Chen's expression changed slightly.

He quickly took out the ghost tile and placed it on the blood-red ground.
Soon, a little red devil jumped out of its mouth.

It was about half a foot in size, with two small horns on its head, fangs, slender hands, and a tiger-skin skirt around its waist.

Then, its body began to twist and fade, and its surroundings were filled with brilliant colorful light.

Within three or five breaths, it turned into a huge demon with a red face, fangs, black hair, and eyes that radiated light like lanterns.

In his right hand he held a mace covered with barbs, which was extremely sharp and shone with a dark glow.

His body is as big as a small mountain, and is comparable to King Yama.

The two "ghosts" fought each other, and the earth shook!

The entire underworld and the eighteen levels of hell were shaking.

The terrifying energy was like a surging river or a surging blue ocean.

Xia Chen had a headache.

He originally wanted to subdue King Yama, but he didn't expect that he would be judged first.

Since traveling through time, he has indeed killed a lot of people.

Although not many cultivators were killed, just a few, the number of monsters was indeed countless.

Mainly in order to refine the pineal gland, too many monsters were slaughtered.

In the eyes of King Yama, Xia Chen is a heinous criminal and does not need to be given a chance to defend himself.

Although the Hell Box was an item he drew, the King of Hell inside was not under his control and would only judge everyone fairly.

"Forget it, let's go out first!"

Xia Chen put away the tiles.

No matter who is defeated in the end, the energy of the props will be consumed.

After coming out of the hell box, he called Xiao Yuner over.

Xiao Yun'er is innocent and romantic, with a pure heart, and has never killed anyone.

After entering the hell box, King Yama checked the tablet in his hand.

After a moment, he said, "You are very good. You have done nothing wrong. You will be reborn as a god after you die!"

"Your Majesty, the outside world is greedy and lustful, with many killings and quarrels. It is a vicious world of gossip and a sea of ​​right and wrong. Please come out and distinguish between yin and yang, clear and turbid, and use fierce means to restore peace to the world!"

Xiao Yuner followed Xia Chen's instructions one by one.

Finally, King Yama agreed to leave the Hell Box and judge the world at the critical moment.

Half a month later.

The drum next to the Tianxingtai disappeared, and was replaced by a three-meter-tall statue of a demon god wearing a crown and a robe, exuding a murderous aura.

If the disciples or elders of the Immortal Sect have suffered great injustice, they can come here to worship the statue of Yama, and King Yama will administer justice for them.

At that time, King Yama will appear from the Hell Box, judge everyone, and throw the sinners into hell, where they will suffer layer by layer until their sins are washed away.

Those who perform the sacrifice, regardless of whether they are guilty or not, will go to the third to fifth level of hell.

This is to maintain the authority of criminal law.

Otherwise, if people choose to offer sacrifices to the King of Hell for all trivial matters, wouldn't the Tianyan clan be in chaos?
The presence of the Yama statue here is also a huge deterrent.

He was willing to be killed and dared to pull the emperor off his horse.

No matter whether you are a true disciple of the inner sect or an elder or a peak master, you may be the target of judgment.

Since killing and punishing a group of elders and deacons, Xia Chen's prestige has reached its peak.

The Law Enforcement Hall also underwent a major reshuffle, with Wu Chongtian and Pei Ding appointed as law enforcement elders.

Xu Yin and Zhao Kui served as deacons.

Xu Yin has now successfully established his foundation and is making rapid progress.

Shang Yu also took over Ding Zhongyuan's position as the Elder of Sibao.

Important institutions such as the Tiandansi, Tianfusi, Xiangongsi, and Sinongdian also have people from the Mangdang Mountain lineage who enter and hold important positions.

This is Xia Chen’s ultimate goal.

Although Xu Yun served as the head of the sect before, most of the peaks, departments, halls, and palaces that issued edicts were insincere and insincere.

It’s because the foundation is not deep.

Today, the power of the Six Peaks has been greatly weakened, and most of the institutions and departments have been infiltrated.

This is the true control of the sect!
-
The money-collecting bee was also upgraded to Class C by Xia Chen.

The number of bees in the colony reached three hundred, and it was so large that the buzzing sound continued.

Each golden bee had grown much bigger, like a large fluttering moth. They flew very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The search area has also been greatly expanded.

In just five days, a new discovery was made.
Hundreds of money-collecting bees frequently travel back and forth to a certain place, and the spirit stones they bring back are of terrifyingly high quality, far exceeding the spirit stones produced by the other three spirit mines, and many of them have reached the standard of mid-grade spirit stones!

The matter was of great importance, so Xia Chen arrived at the area as soon as possible.

This is a barren mountain, ten thousand meters high, completely bare, with jagged rocks all over it, and no vegetation at all.

As usual, he took out the escaping gas and dived underground.

All I saw before me were stones of various sizes, densely packed together and quite large in scale.

Then he cut a piece open and saw the glow of light and mist inside.

The cut surface is smooth and flat, just like jade.

There is also a rich and pure spiritual energy emanating from it, making people feel refreshed and energetic.

Middle-grade spiritual stone!

Xia Chen's eyes lit up.

He finally discovered a second-level, mid-grade spiritual mine!
Moreover, the scale of this spiritual mine is quite large and its value is inestimable.

After coming out of the underground, he looked around and frowned.

The location of this mountain is a bit awkward!

It is located in the Liangjie Mountain area.

The mountain range between the two boundaries stretches for 800 miles. The western half is under the jurisdiction of the State of Jin, and the eastern half is the territory of the State of Wu.

And this second-level spiritual mine is located in the eastern half.

If the spiritual mine is within the territory of Jin State, then Tianyan Sect can mine it at will.

But if it was not within the territory of Jin State, but within the territory of Wu State, Tian Yanzong would not be able to mine legitimately.

The sects of the two countries' immortal cultivation world have kept their distance from each other since the last war.

Once the major immortal sects of the Wu Kingdom discovered that the Tianyan Sect was secretly mining the spiritual stone mines within the Wu Kingdom, it would be a naked provocation!
At that time, the Wu sect would have a reason to attack the Tianyan sect.

It might even trigger a war between the two countries' cultivation worlds.

Today, the world of immortal cultivation in Jin State is gradually declining, and it is far from the time when Liang State ruled.

Once the war starts, destruction is inevitable.

After much deliberation, Xia Chen decided to convene a Jindan meeting.

"Middle-grade spiritual ore?"

The five Jindan Zhenren present were excited.

In the tens of thousands of years of history of the Immortal Sect, the number of medium-grade spiritual ores discovered is only about the size of a palm.

"But this location is a bit tricky!"

Li Yuhai frowned slightly: "The Wu Kingdom's immortal cultivation community has always been eyeing the Jin Kingdom's immortal cultivation community, wanting to swallow it up and use it to open up the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but they are afraid of our Tianyan Sect, so they hold back."

Over the past three thousand years, the Tianyan Immortal Sect's strength has reached its peak, and it has almost single-handedly fought against the entire Wu Kingdom's immortal cultivation world.

Although they were defeated in the end, they managed to save themselves and also destroyed major immortal sects such as the Beast King Sect and the Xuanming Sect, making them very famous.

Although time has passed, the reputation remains.

But now that the former leader Li Shuijing has passed away, the sect has entered a long period of weakness and vacuum.

The only foundation is that half of the sword leaf. If used well, it can kill a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage.

“There are five great immortal sects in the Wu Kingdom, and each of them has a Nascent Soul Patriarch in charge. The one closest to Liangjie Mountain is Huanyin Palace!

Three thousand years ago, during the war between the two countries, the head of Huanyin Palace was killed by the head of our sect. There is a long-standing feud between the two sects. If they knew that there was a mid-level spiritual mine in Liangjie Mountain, they would definitely intervene. "

Pei Ding was a little worried. The Tianyan Sect was now in a precarious situation, with internal and external troubles. Even the Huangquan Sect was unable to cope with it, let alone competing with the Huanyin Palace for the mid-level spiritual mine.

The Huanyin Palace is very powerful. The supreme elder, Taoist Yuyang, achieved the Nascent Soul stage five hundred years ago and dominated the Wu Kingdom's immortal cultivation world.

In comparison, the younger generation of the Tianyan Sect has not yet cultivated the golden elixir, and it will take hundreds of years to develop. The two sects are simply not on the same level.

Xia Chen shook his head: "Don't be so pessimistic, although Huanyin Palace is powerful, their Nascent Soul ancestors have to stay in the sect and it is impossible for them to come out. At most, they can send a few Golden Core True Persons.

Moreover, regarding the competition for the mid-grade spiritual ore, a full-scale fight is unlikely, and in the end, the game will still be played with Jin and Wu as pawns."

"Junior brother, what you said makes sense. After all, the Huanmie Palace is an old-fashioned immortal sect. They insist on doing things in a legitimate way. At most, they can help the Wu Kingdom from behind to win back the ownership of Liangjie Mountain." Wu Chongtian's eyes lit up.

"The most crucial thing right now is the attitude of Jin State, otherwise everything is empty." Cao Guoqing reminded.

"Even though our Tianyan Sect is not as powerful as before, it is not so powerful that we cannot suppress the Jin State!"

Pei Ding sneered, murderous intent in his eyes.

Although the State of Jin has several Jindan-level priests, its strength is far ahead of other immortal sects and immortal cultivation families.

However, there are also differences between the golden elixirs.

The six peaks of the Tianyan Immortal Sect have a terrifyingly strong foundation, and all of them have top-grade treasures to suppress the peaks.

Most of those Jindan offerings are at the early stage of Jindan cultivation, so it is already very good for them to have a low-grade treasure to protect themselves.

Cao Guoqing and Kuang Shengguo alone are enough to wipe them out.

Not to mention Li Yuhai, who owns the lower-grade Taoist weapon, the Purple Gold Divine Bell, and has reached the late Jindan stage of cultivation.
-
A hundred miles away from Liangjie Mountain is a vast plain with fine sand, yellow soil, light green grass, and foxes, rabbits, musk deer, elk and bison can be seen everywhere.

On the plain, soldiers were lined up, the two sides were facing each other, and it seemed that another big battle was about to begin.

During this period, the State of Jin suddenly mobilized a large number of troops to attack the border of the State of Wu, pushing the border hundreds of miles further, and incorporating all the fertile plains into the territory of the State of Jin.

But the State of Wu was equally strong. It gathered its forces and tried to seize the important areas of the plain many times. However, it could not take the areas because the State of Jin had 600,000 strong soldiers on the border. However, Wu did not give up and just kept sending troops forward, so that the State of Jin could not advance.

Beyond the vast plain is Yanbei Pass, an important border town of the State of Wu. As long as it is occupied, the vast Liangjie Mountain Range will completely belong to the State of Jin.

A month ago, the monarch of Jin received the imperial edict from Tian Yan and did not dare to neglect it, so he immediately sent General Zhou Guang to fight.

However, the enemy's city walls were too high, and in recent days a steady stream of enemy troops had been dispatched from Wu, making it impossible to conquer them. Instead, they suffered heavy casualties. The enemy army took the opportunity to pursue and kill them all the way to the center of the plain before they were able to gain a foothold. The two sides were in a stalemate.

Today is the day of decisive battle.

Zhou Guang was wearing fine armor, with a long sword on his waist, riding a snow-white horse, standing in front of the formation, watching the scene of the Wu barbarians from afar. He saw flags waving, crowds of people, and murderous aura.

He was followed by three monks, wearing green cloud-light Bagua robes and holding magical instruments such as gourds and swords in their hands.

These three cultivators are all priests of the State of Jin. They have the strength of the initial stage of foundation building, which is considered a rare combat power in the secular world.

All that could be heard was the neighing of horses and elephants, and dense crowds of enemy soldiers were rushing towards them from afar. More than a dozen Wu generals were riding elephants or horses, and the soldiers behind them were running like the wind, full of murderous intent and with great momentum.

The elephant originally moved slowly, but under the stimulation of the secret technique, it became as fast as a galloping horse, its four hooves stepping on the smoke, and in the blink of an eye it arrived in front of the formation and stopped.

The leader was Gu Tianhua, the general guarding Yanbei Pass of Wu State. He was a burly man, riding an elephant, and shouted loudly: "You Jin dogs are really abominable. You actually dared to invade my border. Today, my general will kill all of you here, and then march straight in and destroy Jin State!"

Zhou Guang was too lazy to yell at him, so he turned around and said loudly: "Everyone, follow me to kill the enemy!"
