Chapter 326 The Story of Xuyan

The door of the Fiery Red Palace was slowly closing. Yang Tianyou walked out of it with complicated emotions and learned many secrets.

Master Xuyan was born in Qingcheng County. His family had made a living by hunting for generations and had little contact with the outside world.

And because Qingcheng County is located in the inland of Qinzhou, far away from the border, the environment is relatively peaceful and there are not many monsters.

At least, for the hundreds of millions of mortals spread over an area of ​​more than 100,000 miles, 99% of them have never actually seen a monster. To most of them, such existence is more like A legend.

Therefore, in the first forty years, Master Xuyan lived smoothly.

Of course, although he has never entered the immortal path, his extraordinary talent has already been revealed.

When he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, Master Xuyan could wrestle with a bison. When he was eighteen years old, he once captured a tiger with his bare hands and became the most famous hunter within a hundred miles.

Because of this, when he was twenty years old, he was able to marry a beautiful and gentle wife and gave birth to three children.

In this way, twenty happy years were spent.

Until when he was forty years old, when Master Xuyan was out hunting, a demon wolf suddenly broke into his home and killed his entire family.

When Master Xuyan returned from the mountain happily with his prey.

A bolt from the blue came suddenly.

At that time, Master Xu Yan was already blinded by anger and did not realize how different this demon wolf was from ordinary wild wolves.

He followed the footprints on the road and chased after them.

Since this demon wolf was only a low-grade first-level creature, its range of activities was not very large. Master Xu Yan spent a day and night to finally find the demon wolf's lair.

Relying on his immense strength and the fists and feet he had honed over the years, Xuyan, an expert in martial arts, was brave enough to charge at the beast who had killed his entire family with his sword in hand.

Unexpectedly, the demonic wolf just glanced at him with disdain, then swiped its tail and severely injured him, causing him to pass out.

When he woke up, he found an old man with immortal demeanor standing next to him, looking at him with burning eyes.

This old man, the Supreme Elder of Sanyan Palace of that generation, passed by Qingcheng County because he was out on business.

While flying over the woods, the Supreme Elder suddenly had a whim and rescued Master Xu Yan, and killed the wolf demon to avenge his blood.

From then on, Master Xuyan embarked on the road of cultivating immortality.

The Supreme Elder of Sanyan Palace accepted him as a closed disciple.

As for the reason, it is very simple. Master Xuyan turned out to be the legendary extremely spiritual root qualification, born with Yang Spiritual Root and the Seed of Manifestation of Saints.

Although it has been delayed for forty years, it is nothing to the immortal cultivator who has a long life.

As for Yang Tianyou and the others, the information they had seen before showed that Master Xu Yan had the qualification of Fire Spirit Root.

It's just a cover-up thrown by the Supreme Elder of Sanyan Palace to protect this precious disciple.

After that, under the guidance of his master, Master Xuyan devoted himself to practice.

He followed the path of dual cultivation of Dharma and body, but his cultivation speed was not slow at all.

I read through various Taoist canons in the first three years and started practicing at the age of forty-four.

At the age of fifty-one, he stepped into foundation building.

At the age of eighty, he broke through the golden elixir.

At the age of two hundred, he was promoted to Nascent Soul.

Four hundred and twenty years old, he became a god.

Since then, Sanyan Palace has experienced great prosperity.

However, when Master Xuyan was 490 years old, an accident happened.

That day, Master Xuyan, who was practicing, suddenly lost consciousness, and was replaced by a maniacally laughing demon.

This devil is extremely murderous, extremely violent and evil. As soon as he is born, he will sacrifice the blood of the entire Sanyan Palace to immortal cultivators and mortals.

Relying on the disguise of Master Xu Yan, he first summoned all the people from the sect to the square, then used the arranged formation to trap these people, and then killed all the monks from the entire sect.

In this process, the demon also fought back desperately due to the nearly ten Nascent Souls, hundreds of Golden Pills, and tens of thousands of disciples from Sanyan Palace. And was deeply hit.

However, he was the final winner after all.

After killing all the immortal cultivators in Sanyan Palace, the demon used the same method to massacre Sanyan City.

In the midst of the sky-high resentment, he laughed wildly. However, under the stimulation of the sect being destroyed, Master Xuyan, who had been silent due to his sneak attack, regained consciousness.

After a fight, Master Xuyan briefly suppressed the demon.

Looking at the messy sect, Master Xuyan was heartbroken and filled with deep-seated hatred for the evildoer.

He moved all the buildings in Sanyan Palace, as well as the entire Lingshan Mountain, into the secret realm.

Then, he used the power of the secret realm and the power of the blood souls of tens of millions of people that the demon had not absorbed.

Use the fifth-level middle-grade three-flame furnace of Zhenzong's magic weapon to set up a two-realm sealing formation, and use yourself as a sealing vessel to refine the demons.

Eight hundred years later, the demon has become extremely weak, and Master Xuyan's strength is also very weak.

Considering that the sect's inheritance cannot be cut off, at least many classics cannot be lost.

Master Xuyan used his limited power to slightly change the formation and released hundreds of Sanyan Palace Tokens.

And set a rule that after two hundred years, the secret realm will be opened, and only monks at the level of foundation building and below can enter.

The purpose is to prevent the Jindan monks from destroying the sealing formation.

After doing this, Master Xu Yan just breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, it was his previous actions that once again released a demon, An Ming!

Unlike demons, dark beings are born the day after tomorrow.

It was during these eight hundred years that Master Xuyan's inner demons were born out of his guilt towards his sect, his hatred towards himself, and his despair towards the world. It can also be said to be another consciousness.

Taking advantage of Master Xu Yan's vitality and energy falling again due to changes in the formation, An Ming and the demons joined forces to successfully seize control of the body.

After that, An Ming used the secret formation to slightly change some rules.

Added bloody rules such as - the token will emit a beam of light that reaches the sky, stimulating monks to kill.

He also uses the secret formation to absorb the power of the blood soul left behind after the death of the immortal cultivator and restore his strength, so that the part of the soul he dominates can break free from the suppression of the formation.

Then, he selected a talented monk to serve as his residence, preparing to seize the residence and be reborn.

After reaching this step, Yang Tianyou already knew the rest, and there was no need for Master Xuyan to say more.

Looking back at the slowly closing palace door, he looked at the Master Xu Yan who was sitting cross-legged, wrapped in chains, with an expression that was sometimes ferocious and sometimes peaceful.

Yang Tianyou couldn't help but feel sympathy in his heart.

Master Xuyan's life, no matter how he goes, will not be easy in the end.

If he had not met the Supreme Elder of Sanyan Palace, he would have died under the claws of the demon wolf.

And once he embarks on the path of cultivating immortality, his outcome is already doomed.

For a thousand years, Master Xu Yan has long figured out the origin of the demon.

That is actually himself. To be more precise, Master Xu Yan is actually the reincarnation of the demon, or the carrier.

When the strength and realm have not reached a certain level, the devil's consciousness is always unclear, but his own power is constantly growing.

And when Master Xuyan, as the carrier, reaches a certain level of strength, the demon will suddenly awaken, swallow his original consciousness, and occupy his body.

This is an extremely evil magical power. According to Master Xuyan's calculation, the only person in the entire Lu Wu world who can have such time and ability is the legendary demon who was suppressed under the Baixiao Tianshan Mountain.

As for how the demon can still exert its power in the seal, this is not something that Master Xu Yan can guess.

After all, the Heavenly Demon is a supreme being comparable to an immortal god. He was sealed in the first place just because the Lord Baixiao came down to earth to undergo tribulations and happened to encounter him!

The power of that kind of existence is not something that people like them, who have just embarked on the journey to the immortal path, can understand.
