Chapter 129 Repairing the Space Channel
Chapter 129 Repairing the Space Channel
"A demon invasion? But this seal looks like it's been there for years."
Zhao Mu walked around the octagonal pavilion. Through the Supreme Divine Eyes, he could roughly tell that this seal had a history of thousands of years.
But in the history of the Zhao family, there seems to have been no incident of demon invasion.
"A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant hole. Don't you understand this truth?"
"It takes a long time to tear open a space channel, especially since the Demonic Spirit Realm and the Holy Spirit Realm do not belong to the same world. It takes even longer to open the channel between the two. At the beginning, it may just be a point that even an ant cannot crawl through, but if it is not interfered with, over time, this point may expand into a hole, and it will be too late to stop it then." Ji Zi said with a serious expression.
When Zhao Mu heard her say this, he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
But on second thought, Jiang Xiaoyue, who was reborn three hundred years later, never mentioned the news that the demons would appear in the Southern Region.
If there is a large-scale invasion of demons in the future, Jiang Xiaoyue will not be unaware of it.
At least this proves that this space channel should not cause too much harm within three hundred years.
But it is still a hidden danger.
Now that we have discovered it, we must find a way to solve it.
"Go ahead. I'm not good at breaking formations, but I heard from Huang Xi that you're an imperial-level formation master. I'll leave the task of breaking the seal to you."
It turned out that Ji Zi called him over to break the seal.
Zhao Mu didn't waste any words and immediately took off into the air, looking around to observe the layout of the sealing formation here.
The person who set up the formation a thousand years ago must have been a master, and the formation was designed very ingeniously.
But he should not be an emperor-level formation master, and his methods are still far inferior to Zhao Mu's.
Soon Zhao Mu understood the sealing formation thoroughly. He walked to the octagonal pavilion, grabbed one of the chains, and ignited a blazing flame in his palm, melting the chain. He then connected the two ends of the melted chain to the other chains.
In an instant, as if there was a short circuit, all the chains emitted bursts of black smoke, and then fell off automatically, loosening the restraint on the octagonal pavilion.
Zhao Mu walked into the octagonal pavilion and turned the stone sculpture at the wellhead clockwise until it made a crisp clicking sound. Then he waved his hand and knocked the stone sculpture away.
A wisp of black smoke rose from the dry well, but before it could dissipate, Zhao Mu suppressed it with his burning divine fire.
The raging flames rushed back towards the wellhead, and as the earth shook, the formation was completely broken by Zhao Mu.
“It’s a bit technical.”
Ji Zi gave a rare compliment and was the first to jump into the dry well.
Zhao Mu followed closely behind.
This dry well is very deep, more than 300 meters underground. The space becomes larger as you go deeper. When you land on the ground, the surrounding space is more than 100 meters.
In the light of the fire, glittering murals appeared on the rock walls around the bottom of the well.
The murals themselves are nothing special, but a few inscriptions exude an unusual atmosphere.
It was this aura that suppressed the evil spirit.
But too much time has passed, the inscription has become mottled and fallen off, and the suppression force is not as strong as before, causing a small amount of demonic energy to escape.
"The space channel should still be below. I'll look for it."
Ji Zi urged the purple flame to condense into a purple fire sword, which he inserted into the ground. The flame flowed back through the cracks in the ground.
She soon realized something, and with a delicate cry, she thrust the purple fire sword forward fiercely, melting a passage with the flames.
Zhao Mu looked down and saw a strange black crack at the end of the flame.
This crack is somewhat similar to the entrance to the paradise, but the aura it emits is extremely evil and can even affect the mind.
Anyone with weak willpower would probably have their soul sucked away just by looking at it.
"Fortunately, the spatial rift isn't very large. The demons shouldn't be able to invade through this passage for the time being. There's still time to repair it."
“How do we fix it?”
"When I was in the upper realm, I personally saw someone repairing the demonic passage. They needed to enter the crack and completely eliminate the demonic energy inside. However, there might be evil demons hiding inside the crack, so they needed to be extremely careful."
He said to be careful, but the next second Ji Zi rushed forward and disappeared into the space crack.
So anxious...
Zhao Mu had no time to think about it and followed him.
The moment he passed through the space crack, Zhao Mu felt a dark and evil aura trying to invade his body.
But Zhao Mu's Immortal Demon Holy Body only emitted a little power to drive away the evil spirit.
After passing through a black fog, Zhao Mu came to a dark, broken space.
A large amount of purple flames exploded.
Ji Zi was already fighting with something.
Zhao Mu rushed over and saw that the object that Ji Zi was fighting with was a black spherical creature with sharp spikes all over its body, similar to a giant sea urchin half a person's height.
There are a lot of them, hundreds of them, so densely packed that it looks dazzling.
But their strength was not strong. Under the burning of Ji Zi's purple flames, more than half of them were burned to ashes in an instant, and the rest fled in all directions.
Zhao Mu glanced at him with his Supreme Divine Eyes.
"Little Thorn Demon: A low-level magical beast that spawned from demonic spirits. They appear in large numbers wherever there's demonic energy. Although they're weak and pose little threat, they're numerous and highly fertile, making them seemingly impossible to exterminate."
Ji Zi clapped his hands and said, "It's not a big problem. They are just some low-level magical beasts. It won't be difficult to clean them up. Come and help me. Let's make a quick decision and leave as soon as possible. We can't stay in an environment filled with demonic energy for too long, otherwise our bodies will be damaged."
"Really? I don't feel any discomfort." Zhao Mu said.
Not only did Zhao Mu not feel any discomfort, he even felt that the rich demonic energy around him was somewhat compatible with his physique.
This is probably the effect brought by the Immortal Demon Holy Body.
After all, the word "magic" is in his name.
Ji Zi looked at Zhao Mu in surprise.
"You seem to be immune to the demonic energy. I'll leave the remaining demonic beasts to you. I'll take a break."
Ji Zi sat down aside without any courtesy, condensing a flame shield to isolate himself from the invasion of external demonic energy.
Zhao Mu was speechless.
But he took action anyway.
Sword Qis that covered the sky were slashed out, and thunders fell everywhere. In a short while, all the small thorn demons around were cleared out by Zhao Mu.
"Go explore the surroundings again. The space here is not very big and can't hide too many monsters. Just clean it up and don't worry about anything else." Ji Zi sat aside and gave orders.
Zhao Mu shook his head helplessly.
As expected of the Empress of the Divine Phoenix, her power is immense.
Zhao Mu explored deeper into the cave, clearing out some small thorn demons and several other types of low-level monsters along the way.
They are all killed in one hit and are not threatening at all.
The cleaning work was completed quickly.
Just as Zhao Mu was about to turn around, he suddenly heard the sound of flowing water.
Zhao Mu was curious and followed the sound, but was blocked by a layer of empty clouds and mist.
But in the void, there was a tiny crack.
Zhao Mu leaned over and peeked inside through the crack, and unexpectedly saw a steaming hot spring. In the hot spring stood a demon woman bathing!
