Li Yan Divine Sense Detected the surrounding area. No other monks have passed by here yet. Divine Sense communicated with Tuban, a Jade Slip appeared in his hand, and Li Yan put it vertically on his forehead. After a moment, he put away Jade Slip, squinted his eyes and looked at the giant tower in the distance, and began to think.
After saying goodbye to Su Hong half a month ago, Li Yan came all the way to the north at lightning speed. He felt the undercurrent of the current world of immortality, and he was even more eager to refine his life Dharma Treasure. He had asked about "Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower" before parting ways with Gong Chenying and the others. At that time, he had already obtained a piece of red mother essence, but the quantity was insufficient. Of course, he had to go to "Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower".
Although Gong Chenying and Zhao Min have not been to the "Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower" trial, after all, they have been practicing longer than Li Yan and have more experience than him. They also know some information about "Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower". The two women explained everything they knew to Li Yan. Later, when Li Yan got the "Xuanming Order", he also asked Huchen Wuding for the details here. The Jade Slip just now was given by Huchen Wuding.
"Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower" is a mysterious Dharma Treasure owned by a powerful one among the ancient monks. However, the driving magic of this Dharma Treasure has long been lost, leaving only this peerless Dharma Treasure standing here. At the beginning, the four major monks tried many methods, and even the Spirit Transformation monks could not control it at all.
According to legend, this Dharma Treasure should be used by a Buddhist or Confucian power, and it suppresses millions of ancient evil spirits. They are extremely evil and ferocious monks who cannot enter reincarnation. They roamed the world during their lifetime, harming monks and mortals, or devouring them. They use their yang energy to strengthen themselves, or capture monks and mortals alive to sacrifice their flesh and blood, and turn them into zombies for their use. After their death, these evil spirits have long been separated from the scope of ghost cultivation and are not among the three realms and five elements. They belong to a kind of Li Hun.
When this great power, whether Buddhist or Confucian, catches these evil spirits that are causing harm to the world, one way is to scatter them alive and let them completely disappear from this world; the other way is to put them into Dharma Treasure, and then use the Dharma Treasure internal array to continuously refine these souls, purify them, and become part of the power of Dharma Treasure.
Whether it is a Buddhist saint or a great scholar, as long as they are monks, they have a selfish heart and will not really get nothing to eliminate demons and defend the way. Of course, they are willing to take action only if it is beneficial. So this powerful man naturally chose the second method. Perhaps there were too many ancient wars, resulting in countless Li Hun that are not in the Three Realms and Five Elements. Although "Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower" has been refined into a lot of Li Hun, there are still millions of Li Hun in the tower, or even more. This great master did not know whether he died or was surprised, but he actually left "Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower" on top of the Desolate Moon Continent. From then on,

, "Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower" lost its owner.
No matter how powerful Dharma Treasure is, if it is not constantly nurtured by monks, it will eventually become mediocre. The same is true for "Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower". After continuing to refine its inner soul for a period of time, it finally returned to peace and fell silent in the long river of history until one day it was discovered again by monks.
When the monk discovered it, it was only a palm-sized treasure. In the end, it was impossible to drive it, but it could be changed in size until it was finally obtained by the Pure Land Sect. Even if it was taken by the Buddhist arhat, it could not be driven, but it was found After discovering an alternative space formed by the five elements space inside "Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower", they were overjoyed. Many unknown Demon Beast and countless strange flowers and fruits were born in it. After inferring that "Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower" came into being, although it can no longer refine the Li Hun inside it, its seal is unbreakable and it still firmly locks these Li Hun and divides them into different levels. In each area, the Li Hun in those areas have not been refined, so they all have the same intelligence as humans. They also thrive and cultivate heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Then they continue to attack the seal year after year, trying to come to the world again.
At first, Pure Land Sect monks were a little afraid of this, but after several Arhats entered to explore, the final news given was that the seal here is one-way and unbreakable, and the spell on the seal only affects the soul. There are no restrictions on the living beings with physical bodies, so the living beings can come in and out at will to explore, but be careful not to let them take away their bodies, otherwise not only will you die, but also a Li Hun will escape with its corpse.
In this way, there are certain conditions for monks to enter treasure hunting. At the same time, there are also new types of Demon Beast born in "Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower", but they themselves are slowed down by the vitality of heaven and earth inside "Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower" They are formed slowly, and their bodies carry the Li Hun aura, so they cannot break out of the seal. However, after they die, they lose the aura of life, but the demon core, flesh and blood bones on their bodies can be brought out. Those are rare cultivation resources that are not available in the outside world, so they are very precious.
In "Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower", not only do you have to face the erratic and terrifying Li Hun and Demon Beast, but the biggest enemy is the monks themselves. Killing each other is very common. Pure Land Sect ignores this at all. In fact, it is the same in the four forbidden areas. If there are
If a fellow sect helps, it means helping. If you kill the opponent, you will kill. The four major sects will not settle the scores after the fall. It is experience in itself. If the disciples are not allowed to experience the bloody storm, then they are simply the noble sons in Lineage. In this way, the four major sects do not need to pass on.
But apart from the four major sects, Lineage and the Immortal Cultivation Sect are not like this. If someone kills their disciples, as long as the news is leaked, they will still hunt each other in the outside world in the future.
After looking at Jade Slip again, Li Yan smiled. The four major sects said they would not pursue the murderer who killed their disciples in the forbidden area. That was just saying it. Wen Xinliang They had told him that ordinary disciples would die after practicing in the forbidden area. Even if he dies, the sect needs to survive and eliminate the fittest, and it really won't hunt him down. However, if an elite disciple within the sect dies, once he knows who it is, although it will not harm the sect or Lineage, that person will die in an "accidental" experience in the future, so these things are tacitly understood. But even if the monks from the four major sects know these things, they will still spare no effort to enter the four forbidden areas, and even when facing the disciples of the four major sects, they will still show no mercy. All they have to do is to wipe out all the eyes and ears present without leaving any evidence. In this way, the four major sects rarely take action without evidence.
After thinking about the details one by one, Li Yan's face became slightly blurry, and soon his appearance changed. This change was only a small transformation. There is a big difference between this and completely transforming the whole person in terms of people seeing through it. Small transformations change the appearance, because most of the original real flesh and bone framework is retained, making it more difficult for people to detect Divine Sense as a fake face.
The foot of the cloud-piercing willow was touched again, and a black light went straight to "Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower" thousands of miles away.
After more than half an hour, the "Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower" in front of me got bigger and bigger, until it occupied most of the field of vision. Li Yan finally came to the top of the steep mountain. Unsurprisingly, there was a wide area on the top of the mountain. The platform is paved with huge pieces of bluestone. In the middle of the platform, a pagoda base with a width of five to six hundred feet stands. Since this is the top of the mountain, clouds and mist are hovering on the entire platform, and gray clouds float around the pagoda from time to time.
The platform seemed wide and empty. Apart from the base of the pagoda, no other buildings could be seen. Li Yan did not fall down immediately, but first looked at "Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower" in the air. The top of the tower penetrated higher into the night sky and disappeared. The whole body of the tower was dark black, layer by layer.

Above, there are exquisite overhangs, no windows or doors, but I don't know how many floors there are. There are no doors on three sides of the base of the tower, and they are all sealed. There is only a semicircular arch at the base of the tower in one direction. There are many monks sitting on the platform in front of the semicircular arch, with their eyes closed and silent. There are about fifty people, forming two rows, blocking the semicircular arch behind them.
Li Yan knows that these monks are Pure Land Sect monks stationed here. Looking at their aura, they are all Foundation Establishment, that is, a group of Zen monks. However, on both sides of the semicircular arch in the back, there are two monks, one thin and one strong, both about forty years old, with no aura fluctuations on their bodies.
Li Yan did not dare to use Divine Sense to carefully explore the bottom, but he could guess that the two monks were definitely Buddha Golden Core Realm or above, that is, the intermediate and high-level monks Pure Land Sect was stationed here. Li Yan knows the role of these monks. In addition to verifying the identity of the person who enters, another important reason is that all monks who come out must be inspected by them again. This inspection is of course not to ask for the treasures obtained inside, but to check whether these people who come out have been snatched away by the Li Hun in the tower and take the opportunity to escape. Even their spiritual pets Demon Beast must be carefully inspected.
In fact, the monks below had already known about Li Yan's arrival, but no one raised their eyes to look at him. However, five other people looked at Li Yan. When those five people Li Yan were in the air, they noticed it from a distance. The five people were divided into three groups, separated by some distance. At this moment, two people had arrived at the semi-circular arch. They were holding a Storage Pouch and two tokens and talking to a Buddha who had half-opened his eyes. The two people were two women. They were only around 20 years old. Their appearance was not outstanding. They were just delicate at best, but their figures were excellent.
The other three people were still standing in front of the two rows of Zen monks. There was a man who looked like a master and a servant, who also held two tokens in his hands and whispered to a Zen monk who stood up from the ground. The person talking to the Zen monk was a man who looked like a book boy. He carried a bamboo basket on his shoulders and was covered with an oilcloth. I don't know if it contains books or something, but behind him is a Confucian scholar in his thirties, wearing a green shirt, holding a folding fan, and wearing a square scarf on his head. He has a slender figure, sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, and has a rather outstanding appearance. He is smiling as he watches the book boy talking to the other person.
Not far behind the Confucian scholar, there was a woman, about thirty-five or sixty-year-old, with a cold face and wearing tight clothes. Although she was slightly fatter, she looked plump. Her appearance was much better than the two women in front, but she couldn't be said to be more beautiful. She looked forward without saying a word, as if waiting for the two Confucian scholars to finish speaking before she could come forward.
