In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Although he was tricked by Shi Xiao, Lu Yuan could only swallow his breath temporarily. Because Shi Xiao borrowed the teleportation array to leave, he didn't know where he had gone now.

And the top priority is to stabilize the mountain city first.

Therefore, after Lu Yuan left Wuyue Mountain City, he returned again less than ten days later, and brought two people back with him.

One of them is Lu Luo. As early as in the human world, this brother has been managing the Yunmeng Mountain sects for Lu Yuan. Now it is most appropriate for him to take charge of all kinds of complicated affairs in the mountain city.

The other one is the Fire Dragon Boy. The defense force in the mountain city must be guarded by his own people before he can rest assured. Except for the two of them, Tian Huanzi and others are still guarding the original demonic sea leaking from the space cracks in the Two Realms Mountain.

Regarding Lu Luo and Fire Dragon Boy taking over the power of the mountain city, it turned out that the management of the mountain city was quite critical.

However, Lu Yuan, the lord of the mountain city, was in charge, and Lu Yuan brought back hundreds of Nascent Soul-level demons. They didn't dare to say anything more and could only hand over power obediently.

After arranging the transfer of power in the mountain city, Lu Yuan shamelessly visited the bat-winged youth and several other mountain city owners. In addition to borrowing from them the ores that were delivered to the main city of Huanyue this year, they also borrowed dozens or even millions of magic stones from each of them.

After all, the monthly expenses in the mountain city are really staggering. Lu Yuan is completely broke now, and he will definitely not be able to do it without the magic stone in his hand.

Next, Lu Yuan personally led the demon guards in the mountain city into the Two Realms Mountain. Due to the changes in the beast tide, many of the mineral veins controlled by Wuyue Mountain City were occupied by monsters.

After retaking the ore veins and sending away the envoys from the main city of Huanyue who came to collect the ore, everything finally got on the right track, and Lu Yuan finally gained a foothold in the ancient demon world.

After a while, Lu Yuan took the time to bring back Tian Huanzi, who was guarding the original demon sea in the Two Realms Mountains, and asked him to learn the formation techniques of the demon world so that he could take over the responsibility for the formation defense in the mountain city, while he himself He stayed in the depths of Liangjie Mountain, preparing to attack Lianxu.

The key to advancing to the void refining stage is the unification of the five elements. When he was in the human world, Lu Yuan had already replenished the three attribute spiritual roots of water, fire, and earth. The last wood attribute spiritual root was originally intended to be obtained by Han Li. Xuantian Immortal Vine. But Han Li was worried that if he cut off the branches and leaves rashly, the Xuantian Immortal Vine that he had finally saved would die, so he kept delaying it.

Later, Lu Yuan also forgot about this matter, so that he never completed the wood spirit root.

However, now that the Lord Yuanying is imprisoned by the Six Blood Bans, it is a bit of a blessing in disguise.

Because the second Nascent Soul has been fused with the ancient demon crystal core, as an ancient demon now, if I practice demonic energy, I no longer need to work on the unification of the five elements when I advance to the void refining.

"I'm going to be in seclusion for a while, and you guys will keep an eye on me from the outside." Lu Yuan said to the remaining two people.

Under his protection, a total of five people survived the collapse of the ascension channel. In addition to Lu Luo, there were three other people: Fire Dragon Boy and Tian Huanzi. The remaining one is a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Shenmiao Sect's weapon refining department, and the other is Leng Yue's junior brother surnamed Wang from the Hidden Moon Sect.

After arranging these, Lu Yuan glanced at the several-foot-long space crack not far away. With a thought, Lu Yuan transformed into a golden Suan Ni, raised his state to its peak, and then released the power of space contained in the Suan Ni's natural talent without reservation.

Under the protection of this powerful space force, Lu Yuan flew into the crack.

Inside the crack is a huge passage with a width and height of a hundred feet, but it is only a few dozen feet long, and it is gray everywhere.

Lu Yuan used his spiritual consciousness to detect the surroundings and confirmed that there was no instability or abnormality in the wall of space. It was all seamless and drillable.

This should be the passage opened by the ancient demon world to connect the ascension passage and then enter the human world.

Thanks to the existence of this passage, otherwise, no matter how powerful Lu Yuan was, he would inevitably be shattered into pieces in the collapse of the ascension passage.

In the passage at this time, besides Lu Yuan, there was also a piece of black liquid that was hundreds of feet in size and was constantly squirming.

The original demonic sea that was hundreds of miles wide when it was in the human world now only has a little bit left. Most of the rest was lost in the collapse of the ascension passage and was lost in the turbulent flow of space.

......

Time flies, autumn passes and winter comes, and several years pass slowly.

No major events happened in the Two Realms Mountains, and there was no beast tide. It seemed that it would remain calm like this.

During this period, the owners of several other nearby mountain cities occasionally came to see Lu Yuan, but each time they were told that Lu Yuan had entered the Two Realms Mountains.

The bat-winged youths who heard the news couldn't help but were speechless. They naturally thought that Lu Yuan was probably like Shi Xiao before, going into the mountains to search for the Xuantian magic weapon that might not even exist.

At the same time, he was also worried that Lu Yuan should not provoke the three magic pythons in the Two Realms Mountain, otherwise they would not have a good life.

But on this day, in the depths of Liangjie Mountain, over the mountains covered by the phantom formation, an astonishing celestial phenomenon suddenly appeared.

Suddenly, there was a continuous sound of thunderbolts in the clear sky, and then black magic clouds exuding extraordinary colors emerged out of thin air, and then gathered here.

"It's broken. With such a celestial phenomenon, we can't hide it by setting up a magic array!" The middle-aged man surnamed Wang, who was ordered by Lu Yuan to stay here on guard, said in horror.

"The Great Elder once said that he is retreating this time to attack the Void Refining Stage. It seems that it will probably succeed. It's better for us to stay away as soon as possible." Another person said slowly.

"This... we can't leave at will without the approval of the great elder!" The middle-aged Wang hesitated.

At this moment, billowing demonic energy suddenly emerged from the underground trees at the mountain peaks within a thousand miles and shot towards the sky.

Then, almost in the span of a cup of tea, the area here was completely submerged by the abnormally thick magic cloud, and fell into darkness where one couldn't even see his fingers.

Even if the middle-aged man named Wang was only a few feet away from the other person, he could not clearly see the other person's presence.

Suddenly, a strange light pierced the darkness and came between the two of them in an instant.

There was a black spar the size of a dragon's eye in the strange light, but the terrifying coercion emitted from this small spar already made the two of them feel trembling from the bottom of their hearts.

"It's the great elder's magic core!" the middle-aged man named Wang said with great joy.

"Congratulations to the Great Elder for successfully advancing to Void Refining for this pressure!" Another person also quickly reacted.

"Although I have overcome the inner demons and my soul has successfully advanced to the Void Refining Realm, I still have to absorb the demonic energy and strengthen my physical body, so I will enter the most critical moment next.

However, such a big movement may alarm various monsters in the mountain. Take my magic core and take the remaining demons to protect me. Don't let me be disturbed! "Lu Yuan's cold voice came from the crystal core.

After hearing Lu Yuan's instructions, the two men named Wang did not dare to neglect and shook the magic core slightly. The roars of countless demons suddenly sounded in the darkness, and they followed them outside.

Just as Lu Yuan expected, the celestial phenomena caused by his attack on Lianxu naturally caused the low and middle-level monsters in the mountains to commotion.

Fortunately, these monsters had no intelligence at all. Faced with the strange phenomena of heaven and earth, they all avoided them and headed out of the mountain like a plague. But as more and more of them slowly gathered, there were actually signs of forming a beast tide again.
