Chapter 420 The top eight gather, the dragon vein takes root and sprouts

Sea God Cult, Extraterritorial Demon, Demon Child.

Countless information intertwined in everyone's mind, making it difficult for them to digest and accept.

"Extraterritorial Demon, isn't it the inner demon?"

"When can the inner demon become a physical entity?"

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

Various questions arose, some were confused, some did not believe it.

As the questions arose, some cultivators' eyes suddenly turned red, their veins bulged, and demonic thoughts suddenly rose in their hearts.

Seeing this, the Master shouted in a low voice: "Retreat!"

The green light lingered, shattering all the demonic thoughts, and those crazy cultivators fainted immediately.

Shui Qilin sighed.

Extraterritorial Demon, the more you talk about it, the more you know about it, the easier it is to give birth to the inner demon. This is a strange phenomenon, but it has existed from beginning to end.

This is also the reason why these secrets cannot be recorded and widely circulated.

Only when you reach the Nascent Soul stage and have your own artistic conception will you not be affected. The higher the cultivation, the more you can resist these demonic thoughts.

As for the extraterritorial demon, it is better to say less about it for those below the Jindan stage.

…………

An hour later, the meeting was over.

The wounded were carried back for treatment. The living knew the truth, but they were speechless, and could not spread the matter widely.

Shui Qilin did not publish all the details, but only described a general idea, which made people know the seriousness of the matter.

Xu Hei returned to his cave and took out the Demon Mirror.

It has been almost two years since the last time the Demon Mirror was used. Now, the Demon Mirror has regained some luster and is no longer as lifeless as it was just after use.

"What kind of existence is the extraterritorial demon?"

"If there is an extraterritorial demon imprisoned in this mirror, can it be used against the Sea God?"

Xu Hei is destined to have no answer to this question.

The extraterritorial demon, at first, exists in the form of a heart demon, and will imitate the target, just like Xuan Yangzi the first time and Xu Qingzhi the second time.

Whether it is a human or a demon beast, the inner demon can perfectly simulate the same form.

But if the target is also the outer demon, what will happen?

Xu Hei shook his head. This is a very dangerous idea. According to his guess, even the demons are divided into levels.

The one in the Demon Mirror is just an ordinary demon, but the Sea God is called a demon child, which must be special.

"Wait! The outer demon can feed on heavy oil, so can I feed some heavy oil to the Demon Mirror?" Xu Hei's eyes flashed.

However, after thinking of Hei Huang's attitude towards heavy oil, Xu Hei shook his head and gave up the idea for the time being.

If it is really possible to feed heavy oil, Hei Huang will not fail to remind this.

"Originally, many means were prepared for the year-end meeting, but I didn't expect to use them in the hands of the Sea God Cult, and even many of them were not used." Xu Hei sighed in his heart.

His strength is still not enough.

Let alone whether he can get the first place, even if he can, there are stronger enemies and greater crises waiting for him.

He must break through the Nascent Soul stage. Only by successfully forming a Nascent Soul can Xu Hei protect himself.

He didn't know what help an extra Nascent Soul in the early stage would have in facing a behemoth like the Sea God, but Xu Hei had to do it.

He wanted to open nine dragon veins, he wanted to form a Nascent Soul, he wanted to turn into a dragon!

"There must be a way, things must turn around, I must become stronger!" Xu Hei was determined.

…………

The Sea God Altar.

This is a pyramid-shaped building located on the seabed, but the tip has been cut off, the top of the tower is an open space, and the tower is engraved with various strange runes.

These runes have never been seen in the world, as if they do not belong to this world.

Hei Huang, Han Te, and Tian Ji Shang Ren used their most powerful concealment methods and approached this altar. None of the three parties found each other.

Hei Huang's body was covered with fairy patterns that did not belong to this world, completely covering his figure.

The folk method used by Han Te, invisible cloak, deodorant, and water-melting beads, but the weight was particularly large, and I don't know how many layers were stacked.

The Master of Heavenly Secrets was even simpler. He used the technique of shielding Heavenly Secrets to shield himself. He had never been here, never approached, and this place had nothing to do with him.

The three of them crossed the edge of the Sea God Altar together, stepped onto the pyramid, and soon arrived at the top of the altar.

Looking down from the top of the altar, the rune structure here is a bit like a teleportation array, but it is different from the traditional teleportation array.

Hei Huang directly took action and scraped off a layer of the array pattern on the altar.

Hunt took out a pickaxe and planned to dig a brick and take it back to sell.

The Master of Heavenly Secrets sat cross-legged, breathing in and out, as if absorbing the spiritual energy here.

But it would never be as simple as spiritual energy.

…………

Suddenly, a day passed.

The Sea God Altar was too solid. Hei Huang spent a whole day digging out three array patterns and transferred them to his homemade array flag, which could be used in the future.

Hunt only dug out two bricks, which were so heavy that he could hardly lift them with his cultivation. They must be worth a lot of money and could be sold for a lot of spiritual stones.

Tianji Shangren absorbed about 10% of the spiritual energy here, with a hint of regret on his face.

"It's getting late, we should leave."

The three of them got up together and rushed in the same direction.

Suddenly, there was a thunderous roar in the distance behind them, resounding from the sky and the ground, and spreading thousands of miles.

"Don't run away, thief!!"

The sound rolled in, like a stormy sea, like roaring thunder. It was the Soul Refining Demon Lord, rushing back as fast as possible.

Of course, in order to rush on the road, he consumed almost all his true energy and burned the remaining spiritual consciousness, just to arrive early.

"What? You came back early!"

The three of them felt a chill in their hearts at the same time, sped up, and ran away crazily into the distance.

The Soul Refining Demon King's anger reached its limit, and he chased the three in the direction they left.

At this point, a mighty pursuit of thousands of miles that lasted for a month began.

This chase left a deep impression on the Soul Refining Demon Lord, which was indelible and could be remembered for a lifetime. However, that was already a story for another time.

…………

Xu Hei's retreat did not last for a few days before he received the summons.

"We will gather on Yanwu Island at noon tomorrow."

This is the message from Yu Jianqiu.

I almost forgot, this guy is also the captain of the third team.

Although according to the regulations, the one-year period has expired, and these newcomers will no longer belong to the hunting team and will return to their respective lineages.

However, the method of summons was retained.

Xu Hei did not delay this time and arrived at Yanwu Island on time at noon the next day.

At the same time, there are also the top eight players from the year-end conference.

Bai Luo, Bai Qiushui, Xu Bai, Xu Hei, Hai Teng, Xiong Dabao.

After several days of healing, they all woke up and seemed to be recovering well. Some of them had improved their cultivation, and their auras were uncontrollably released. It was as if they had touched the threshold.

This life and death crisis is just a crisis for ordinary people, but for the genius, it is an opportunity!

The reason why a genius is a genius is because he has extraordinary abilities!

And Yu Jianqiu was on the original stage, sitting cross-legged in the middle, wearing a blindfold, closing his eyes to rest.

"It's surprising that I'm not late." Xu Hei clicked his tongue in surprise.

"He has never left since the day it ended." Xu Bai said in a message.

"..." Xu Hei was suddenly speechless.

After working on it for a long time, Yu Jianqiu didn't leave at all, no wonder he was on time.

Not long after, two more figures came over, namely the nine-headed insect and the silver-haired witch A Yin.

In this way, eight people were gathered together.

"Among the original top eight players, Gong Tianhe and Guilong died in the battle, and the new positions are taken by Nine-Headed Insect and Ah Yin. You are the new top eight!"

Only then did Yu Jianqiu speak.

No one knows what the selection rules are, but since the top brass has decided it, they have no power to change it.

Xu Hei guessed that he was judged based on his performance against the Poseidon Cult.

"Why, the year-end meeting is still going on?" Hai Teng frowned.

Yu Jianqiu shook his head and said: "After high-level discussion, it was decided to give the first place reward to eight of you, and on that basis, it will be doubled!"

"The eight of you, tied for first place, will each receive 500,000 contribution points!"

When the sound came out, the eight people present were stunned. I am both happy and confused about this result.

Five hundred thousand contribution points is certainly a lot, and even treasures like Enlightenment Tea can be exchanged for two cups.

But what made the top management make such a decision?

You know, the distribution of contribution points is not something you can do with just one mouthful. They all have to be deducted from the top management.

"In addition, everyone can go to the Treasure Pavilion and choose a treasure at will. It's arbitrary, anything will do!"

"If you don't find what you want, you can also make a request and let us tailor one! As long as it's not too much, we can satisfy you!" Yu Jianqiu continued.

This is a more important reward.

You can choose any treasure, it can be level 4 or above, and you can also make a request to have it tailor-made, which is more tempting than half a million contribution points.

This is the benefit of actually getting promoted!

"Why is this?" Bai Luo asked puzzledly.

Yu Jianqiu took a deep breath and said slowly: "Starting from this year, Penglai Sea Area and Penglai Island will not recruit any new people. The hope for the future lies with you eight!"

Yu Jianqiu did not explain too much the meaning of this sentence.

But everyone felt a heavy burden weighing on their hearts.

Hope for the future!

As someone who understood the entire process, Xu Hei could understand the meaning of this sentence. He hesitated for a while and asked, "Can I withdraw?"

"Of course, you can leave at any time, but as long as you accept this opportunity, I hope you can also assume the corresponding responsibilities in the future." Yu Jianqiu said solemnly.

Everyone was silent.

If the Xu Hei of the past were in trouble, he would run away without hesitation and run as far as he could.

But ever since the blood sacrifice of millions of snakes by Xuanyangzi, Xu Hei understood that there were some things that he had to face!

He remained silent and climbed onto the ring.

At the same time, the remaining seven people also came to the ring at the same time, and no one chose to withdraw. Although each of them knows what the so-called responsibility is.

During this silent forward movement, all the nine dragon veins in Xu Hei's body began to move, like nine seeds that took root and sprouted in his body.
