Chapter 194 Extreme Demonic Energy
After Zhang Xuanqing condensed his demonic body, a black pill core the size of a longan was suspended in his body.

This black pill core is the Heavenly Demon Zombie Pill that gathers all the evil spirits, demonic energy and murderous aura in the Demon Subduing Hall.

It is the condensed essence of all evil spirits.

It was basically the same as the golden elixir. After condensing the magic elixir, Zhang Xuanqing’s strength also broke through, and he also condensed the golden elixir at the same time.

This means that he now has two pills in his body.

A black magic pill core and a Taoist golden pill.

These two things that seem to be completely incompatible are now harmoniously integrated in Zhang Xuanqing’s body. This can be considered an extremely special existence.

After all, good and evil cannot coexist since ancient times, and practitioners are either righteous cultivators or evil cultivators.

The breath in the body is either the righteous energy of heaven and earth, or the energy of demons.

Zhang Xuanqing is the first person since ancient times to have both good and evil as his origins, and to condense two golden pills in his body in one breath, one good and one evil.

Even the Dragon and Tiger Patriarch Tianshi had never thought of this path. After all, water and fire cannot coexist, and good and evil cannot coexist. Who would dare to think so?
But now Zhang Xuanqing has done it. Not only does he have two golden elixirs, but his body is also both good and evil, a mixture of good and evil.

The divine body of the Jade Pure Thunder God + the physical body of the Heavenly Demon Zombie Ancestor.

These two top-level physical bodies of the righteous and evil paths merged into one in his body, which was truly terrifying.

After Zhang Xuanqing successfully condensed two golden elixirs, his eyes opened inside the Demon Subduing Hall.

At this moment, he slowly stood up, and his aura reached its peak.

In today’s world, the realm of cultivation follows the ancient times and is divided into Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Elixir, and Nascent Soul…

Now is the Dharma Ending Period of Blue Star, and there are very few people who can refine Qi, let alone build the foundation pill.

Most of the high-level Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain are at the peak of Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stage.

The most powerful Taoist priest Xuanming is in the middle stage of foundation building.

Sakura’s Yamata no Orochi, when at the peak of its strength, had a cultivation level above the Golden Core stage. Later, only its soul body remained, and its strength dropped to around the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

The strength of the elders on the Sakura Divine Mountain is only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, but with the blessing of the Divine Mountain and the infusion of divine power from the Sakura God, their cultivation is comparable to that of the Golden Elixir Stage.

Although Zhang Xuanqing’s previous realm was not as high as the Golden Core, his strength was above the Golden Core level.

But now it’s different. Now he has solidly condensed the golden elixir, and he has condensed two at a time.

Now his strength is not limited to the golden elixir. The two golden elixirs bless each other, and with the divine body in his body, Zhang Xuanqing’s current strength is basically comparable to that of the Nascent Soul. Below the Nascent Soul, he can already kill at will.

Zhang Xuanqing stood up inside the Demon-Suppressing Hall, and the monstrous demonic energy instantly surged out of his body.

The entire Demon-Suppressing Hall was shaking, and it felt like it was about to collapse.

A monstrous demonic energy rose up into the sky from the back mountain of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, instantly alarming the entire Longhu Mountain. The high-level Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain looked at the demonic energy rising into the sky, and their faces turned ugly.

Taoist Master Xuanming was still in the Sanqing Hall at this moment, teaching his disciples to practice and performing evening classes. Suddenly, he saw demonic energy rising into the sky at dusk. Taoist Master Xuanming immediately realized that there was a problem with the Demon-Subduing Hall, so he was the first to rush out and went straight to the back mountain of the Tianshi Mansion on the top of Longhu Mountain.

When these high-ranking Taoist priests on Mount Longhu saw the monstrous evil energy at this moment, their scalps felt as if they had exploded instantly and their scalps went numb.

Because the source of this monstrous demonic energy is exactly the Demon Subduing Hall. Such terrifying demonic energy rising into the sky may mean that something has gone wrong with the Demon Subduing Hall.

The Demon-Suppressing Hall in Mount Longhu is a demon-suppressing place with a history of more than 2000 years. Thousands of demons are imprisoned inside. Once problems arise in the Demon-Suppressing Hall, it will be a big deal.

This is not just a disaster for Longhu Mountain, but a disaster for the entire Dragon Kingdom and even the world.

Because demons are very powerful and have no physical form.

Demons can only be subdued by practitioners or Taoists. Those demons were captured by successive heavenly masters of Longhu Mountain, which is basically equivalent to the combined foundation of all the heavenly masters of all generations.

But now, the former Heavenly Masters of Longhu Mountain have either ascended to heaven or died, but those demons are still imprisoned in the Demon Subduing Palace. Once an accident happens in the Demon Subduing Palace and the demons break out, who can resist the millions of demons?
Rely on the Dragon State government? The Dragon State government is probably helpless.

After all, monsters and demons cannot be dealt with by official hot weapons. In front of powerful monsters and demons, human beings’ current hot weapons are nothing.

Once the Demon-Suppressing Hall in Mount Longhu explodes, at least half of Dragon Country will become a paradise for demons.

Therefore, Taoist Xuanming must not let this happen. He rushed to Longhu Mountain as soon as possible and ordered all the high-level Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain to gather at the Demon-Subduing Hall.

Even all the disciples of Longhu Mountain were on alert.

All the high-ranking Taoist priests of Mount Longhu went to the Demon-Subduing Hall to check the situation. If things ever developed to a stage where they could not be controlled, and if the demons in the Demon-Subduing Hall escaped, all the high-ranking Taoist priests of Mount Longhu, including the disciples, must be prepared to sacrifice their lives for the sake of their faith.

Outside the Demon Subduing Hall, Taoist Xuanming and other high-ranking Taoist priests from Mount Longhu have already arrived. They are watching the monstrous demonic energy emanating from the Demon Subduing Hall.

Taoist Priest Xuanming said: “The evil spirits are indeed emitted from the Demon Subduing Hall.”

At this time, a Taoist priest wearing a yellow robe nearby expressed his confusion: “Brother, why did things develop like this? Isn’t the Demon Subduing Hall used to suppress demons? Moreover, those demons were imprisoned in the Demon Subduing Hall and their own power was suppressed. How could they cultivate such a terrifying existence?”

“Yes, logically speaking, the demons in the Demon Subduing Hall were registered after the Heavenly Master was captured. We in Longhu Mountain know every demon inside out. Logically speaking, it is impossible for such a terrifying demon king to be born in the Demon Subduing Hall. What’s going on now?”

Taoist Priest Xuanming had no mind to discuss these things now. He only knew that the demonic energy had reached a level that was difficult to control.

Xuanming said: “Now is not the time to discuss this. Who knows what happened in the Demon Subduing Hall? Let’s prepare first and add sealing power to the Demon Subduing Hall!”

Taoist Xuanming had heard Zhang Xuanqing complain about the Demon-Subduing Hall in Mount Longhu before.

Zhang Xuanqing had said a long time ago that the Demon Subduing Hall had always been a hidden danger. After all, imprisoning so many demons in the Demon Subduing Hall was actually like raising a Gu.

Put common poisonous insects in a Gu pot and keep them locked up.

It would be fine if they were all at peace with each other, but once they started killing each other and a poison king was born, it would be very troublesome.

Moreover, the demons in the Demon-Suppressing Hall were difficult to tame. They should not have been captured at the time. If they had been killed directly, nothing would have happened.

When Zhang Xuanqing first proposed this idea, Taoist Xuanming disagreed.

Because he felt that this idea was a bit too extreme, he was more willing to accept the saying left by the Taoist ancestors that heaven and earth have the virtue of loving life, all things have spirituality and are qualified to survive, and we who practice Taoism should not kill them all.

Even if they are demons and evil spirits, they should be given a chance to reform, which is why the Demon Subduing Hall exists. But now it seems that Taoist Xuanming has begun to understand what the Heavenly Master said back then.

Perhaps the Demon-Suppressing Hall really shouldn’t exist. It is precisely because of the existence of the Demon-Suppressing Hall that things like this are happening now. It seems that the demons suppressed inside are no longer able to be suppressed.

Once a gap is opened, thousands of demons inside will rush out. At that time, countless demon kings will come out. Who can stop them?
Unless the immortal ancestor celestial master comes in person, even other celestial masters will not be able to control the situation here.

Taoist Master Xuanming himself did not realize that he had begun to get closer to Zhang Xuanqing under his subtle influence. At the beginning, he was very opposed to many of Zhang Xuanqing’s practices, thinking that Tiansheng’s practices were too extreme and often wrong.

Therefore, Taoist Master Xuanming would try to stop Heavenly Master most of the time, but after many things happened, including the current riot in Demon Subduing Hall, Taoist Master Xuanming found himself increasingly agreeing with Heavenly Master.

He felt that although many of the Heavenly Master’s practices were sometimes a bit extreme, they were not wrong, and in many cases they were the truly perfect solutions.

Just like the Demon-Suppressing Hall today, if what Zhang Xuanqing said is true, the Demon-Suppressing Hall should not have been built back then. If it had not been built, the hidden dangers today would not have arisen.

This seems to be correct.

But it’s too late to say anything now. The demonic energy in the Demon Subduing Hall is becoming more and more terrifying. Taoist Xuanming and the high-level Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain are trying their best to suppress the Demon Subduing Hall.

But they soon discovered that the existence inside the Demon Subduing Hall was simply beyond their ability to suppress. Even if all of their high-level Taoist priests joined forces, they seemed no match for the other side.

This tug-of-war was like an adult beating a child. The master of the evil energy in the Demon Subduing Hall was far more powerful than them.

Taoist Xuanming was sweating profusely. He found that many cracks had appeared on the walls of the Demon-Suppressing Hall.

The Demon-Suppressing Hall was already unable to hold on any longer, and even many of the chains that were originally used to suppress demons and lock up monsters had been broken.

Taoist Xuanming understood that he could not suppress the demon in the Demon Subduing Hall by his own strength alone.

Taoist Priest Xuanming looked anxiously in the direction of the Heavenly Master’s Mansion. He didn’t understand why there was such a big commotion and the Heavenly Master hadn’t arrived yet?
If there was a Heavenly Master here today, perhaps the situation could be better controlled. But until now, the Heavenly Master has not come, which makes Taoist Xuanming very anxious.

Could it be that the Heavenly Master was delayed by something?
But the problem is, in the current situation, what could be more important than what is happening in the Demon-Suppressing Palace?

“Have you contacted the Heavenly Master?”

Taoist Priest Xuanming asked the Taoist priests behind him, but those high-ranking Taoist priests from Mount Longhu all shook their heads.

“Brother, there’s nothing we can do. We can’t get in touch with him! The Heavenly Master didn’t reply to us.”

Taoist Priest Xuanming: “…”

Where did the Taoist priest go at this critical moment?
Taoist Priest Xuanming originally planned to delay the situation as much as possible until the Heavenly Master arrived. Perhaps by the time the Heavenly Master arrived, there would be a solution. But now looking at the situation in the Demon Subduing Hall, he can no longer delay.

Taoist Xuanming then said, “Don’t wait any longer. We can’t hold on any longer. The Demon Subduing Hall is about to explode. The big devil inside is about to come out. Everyone, prepare to fight. It looks like today is the day for you and me to die for our faith.

We can’t let a single demon escape from Longhu Mountain before we die!”

“The heavens are vigorous! My way is flourishing!”

Taoist Xuanming looked at the current situation of the Demon Subduing Hall. The demonic energy inside was becoming more and more terrifying. Large cracks had appeared around the Demon Subduing Hall. The talismans used to suppress demons were almost destroyed, and the demon-suppressing chains were all broken. Now there was only one chain that was barely holding on, but it would break soon.

He knew that he would not be able to wait for the Heavenly Master to come today, and in this situation, even if the Heavenly Master came, there would be no room for recovery. After all, the Heavenly Master was not a god and could not have the ability to reverse time.

The Demon-Suppressing Hall collapsed, and the demons inside broke free. It seemed like this was an inevitable trend.

Taoist Xuanming gave an order and directly ordered all the high-level Taoist priests to prepare for battle.

In fact, he knew in his heart that these demons in the Demon-Suppressing Hall had been imprisoned for so many years, and it was impossible for them to attain enlightenment and turn to the right path.

These demons were just as stubborn as the Heavenly Master had said. After being imprisoned for thousands of years, not only did they show no sign of improvement, their hatred for Longhu Mountain and the Taoists even reached an extreme.

Once the seal on the Demon-Suppressing Hall is broken and the demon kings and ghost kings inside come out, there will inevitably be a bloody battle.

By then, none of the high-level Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain will be alive. All they can do now is to fight to the death and sacrifice their lives for their faith.

“boom!”

As soon as Taoist Xuanming finished speaking, the ground where the Demon Subduing Hall was located began to shake violently. Then, with a huge explosion, the entire Demon Subduing Hall exploded.

Large pieces of bricks, stones and tiles flew everywhere. Taoist Xuanming and others looked nervous and tense, with a look of determination to fight to the death as they looked in the direction of the explosion in the Demon Subduing Hall.

They have already prepared for a fight to the death, just waiting for all the monsters and demons inside to come out.

However, after the explosion in the Demon-Suppressing Hall, the entire back mountain of the Tianshi Mansion fell into silence.

Within the smoke and dust, there was no scene of thousands of demons and monsters rushing out as Taoist Xuanming had imagined. Instead, it was exceptionally quiet.

Seeing this scene, all the high-ranking Taoist priests in Mount Longhu were stunned for a moment.

None of them knew what was going on.

“what happened?”

“After the Demon-Subduing Palace exploded, no demons came out?”

Taoist Xuanming did not say anything, but stared at the direction of the explosion in the Demon Subduing Hall.

Logically speaking, such a situation is impossible to happen. With so many demons suppressed in the Demon-Suppressing Hall, how could no demons come out?
Those demons are extremely vicious and cruel, and they will eat people without leaving any bones. Now that they finally have a chance to escape and take revenge on Longhu Mountain, how could they miss it?
Although I don’t know why the Demon-Suppressing Hall exploded, these demons have not come out yet.

But Taoist Xuanming did not dare to be careless at all, because he always felt that this might be a conspiracy of those demons and monsters, and maybe a demon king was born among those demons.

The Demon King is commanding these demons.

Maybe he is plotting some conspiracy, trying to take over the entire Longhu Mountain without losing a single soldier or at a very low cost.

However, when Taoist Xuanming was imagining it, the next second he saw a figure stepping out from the smoke and dust.

That figure looked very familiar.

“Tianshi?” Xuanming was stunned.

why you?
