Simen Mountain was close to the western border of Sichuan. It was surrounded by high peaks and dangerous walls. Dead trees and rocks stood in a forest. It was a scene of barren mountains and bad rivers. In addition, the mountain was steep and dangerous. It was not a place for mortals to go, nor was it a place for sword immortals to cultivate.
In the early years, there was a fierce man named Zhu Hong. He was originally the favorite disciple of Taiyi Primordial Ancestor of Wutai Sect in Shanxi Province. He had always relied on spells to commit all kinds of evil and had a terrible reputation. If not for the fact that most outsiders feared the reputation of Primordial Chaos Ancestral Master, he would have been eliminated long ago to return the world to justice.
This person's evil nature did not stop there. He had stolen Primordial Chaos Ancestral Master's Heavenly Book and protective treasure, the Taiyi Five Smoke Net, and escaped to hide in a secret place. Primordial Chaos Patriarch had also searched for him everywhere, but before he could find him, he happened to be in a sword fight at Emei. Because he had stolen his protective treasure, he was besieged and died in a crushing defeat.
Therefore, from now on, the righteous and demonic paths could not tolerate Zhu Hong. The righteous path wanted to kill them because he was a villain of the demonic path, while the demonic path was defeated because he caused the death of the Evil Ancestor. Therefore, even though Zhu Hong had the protection of a supreme treasure like the Taiyi Five Smoke Luo, he didn't dare to leave the cave abode on Mount Four Gates.
Of course, other people might not know where he was hiding, but Yang Xiao, who had transmigrated, knew it clearly. He had come here for the Five Tai Sect's treasure, the Taiyi Five Smoke Net. It was a famous protective treasure of the unorthodox sect. Moreover, even if he did not take it now, it would be given to the Emei Sect disciples in the future. Instead of letting the Emei Sect disciples benefit from it, he might as well use it himself. Wouldn't that be better?
Although he knew the general location of the Four Gates Mountain, Yang Xiao had never been there before. He spent a few days exploring the place before he found it.
When he reached the vicinity of the Four Gates Mountain, he saw four peaks that were like gates, each standing in a circle. Looking down from the sky, there was an empty basin in the middle. It was faintly visible that there was a gathering of fiendish qi in the mountains, and the spiritual power was thin. It was indeed a rare dangerous mountain and vicious water in the Great Desolate Nine Provinces.
He stealthily hid his light and descended, slowly stopping in the valley of the four gates. Yang Xiao raised his head and surveyed his surroundings. Although there were no traces of man-made excavation, he could still see some clues.
On the four sides of the mountain, there were strange rocks and jagged trees. The valley was desolate. Although there were some broken stones and withered grass, it made Yang Xiao feel that it was fake. One had to know that it was early autumn. Although there would not be too many fallen leaves and withered branches, there would definitely be more trees on the surrounding peaks. Moreover, the fallen leaves and withered grass in the center of the valley were obviously much less than the surrounding areas.
In addition, there was a faint layer of black gas under the ground of the valley. If one didn't look carefully, they would naturally miss it. However, if one looked carefully, they would find that this was definitely not a natural thing, but a sign of some kind of restriction.
Based on these two points, Yang Xiao was already certain that Zhu Hong and his wife were definitely still living in seclusion here. Moreover, he already knew the reason behind this. Otherwise, he would not have come here.
He searched for a while and found the entrance to the cave at the foot of a mountain. He avoided the defensive formation and entered the cave. He could see that the entire cave was made of rock. There was a passage in the middle that was about ten feet wide and twenty feet high. There was a pearl embedded on the top every ten feet for illumination. On both sides of the pathway, there were a few stone rooms. It seemed that the Zhu Hong couple had spent a lot of effort for this.
As he walked back and forth, he discovered that although there were many stone rooms on both sides of the passage, only one of them had a restriction. If Zhu Hong and his wife didn't carry the Taiyi Five Smoke Net with them, they should have hidden it here. The reason why Yang Xiao was so excited to steal the treasure was because Zhu Hong did not refine the treasure even when Emei Sect attacked decades later.?
His Yuan Spirit searched his surroundings but did not find any trace of Zhu Hong and his wife. Only then did Yang Xiao feel at ease to look at the stone room that was filled with restrictions. He spread out his Spiritual Sense and looked through the stone wall. He saw layers of black smoke filling the stone room. Within it, there were even some red sparks that were floating and changing for no reason.
Yang Xiao knew that this was an unorthodox array and was extremely evil. However, he had now cultivated the Pure Yang True Technique and had a good understanding of this array. Even if he could not crack it, he had a way to avoid danger.
Immediately, Yang Xiao took a step forward and disappeared into the room. The layers of black smoke seemed light and thin, and could be penetrated by one's hand. However, one would only be able to sense that the space within seemed to be infinitely vast after entering it.
Yang Xiao had already formed his Golden Core and his True Qi was extremely dense. With his speed, even if he flew for a thousand miles, he should be able to reach it, let alone this stone room. However, he did not know the depth of the mountain until he entered. Only then did Yang Xiao know that the area around him had already changed into another world.
He had never seen an array before. Although it was recorded in the Pure Yang Elixir Scripture, there was always a great surprise between words and reality. Therefore, he really had not experienced the wonders of this demonic array.
In the past, when he read the original novel, there were very few words about Zhu Hong in the book, and his evaluation of him was low. He thought that he was just a small fry who was killed by a third-generation disciple of Emei Sect the moment he appeared. He was really useless.?However, now that he had come personally, he realized that the methods of these unorthodox demonic sects could not be underestimated. This array was not as bad as what was recorded in the books.
Immediately, Yang Xiao put away his contempt. Although this formation was an unorthodox item, after it was set up, there would definitely be an item to absorb it. If he could find this item, it could also be considered a rare treasure. Who knows when he might be able to use it.
Since he wanted to take the treasure, he didn't dare to use the twin swords to break the formation. Fortunately, he had inherited the alchemy scripture of the Immortal Chunyang and had some understanding of the formation. With his current cultivation, it wasn't too difficult to do this.
In fact, in the end, he had no other choice. After all, although it was straightforward to forcefully break the formation with his cultivation base and divine arts, it would definitely cause a huge commotion. At that time, it would shock Zhu Hong and his wife, and it would be difficult to obtain the treasure again.
After all, although the Zhu Hong couple in the original novel didn't have much cultivation, they had refined a few powerful demonic magic weapons, especially the Six-Six True Essence Gourd. It was so evil that even the Primordial Unity Ancestral Master didn't dare to casually refine it!
No matter what, the other party was still the personal disciple of a generation of evil ancestors. It was definitely not a strange thing for him to have some powerful methods. If he did not, that would be strange.
He narrowed his eyes and two faint golden lights shot out. They were stimulated by the Spiritual Stone Immortal Milk and opened their eyes. Their eyes were like two flood dragons, moving back and forth in the black gauze mist and scanning the surroundings. Although he had not broken through this kind of array, he knew that as long as he found the object of the array, the array would naturally break.
Not long after, Yang Xiao's gaze paused at a certain spot in the empty space. Immediately, a flowing light flashed and appeared. With a step forward, he had already appeared at another place. In front of him, there was a small triangular flag that contained a faint yellow color. It was faintly suspended in the empty space three feet above the ground.
Yang Xiao quietly looked at the triangular flag in front of him. He could clearly sense the mysterious power contained within it. It seemed that this demonic villain did have some ability.
In his intelligent eyes, he could see that the yellow triangular flag was filled with crisscrossing mysterious runes. These runes were strangely blood-red in color, as if they were painted with fresh blood. In the air, they emitted black threads that scattered into the air, forming layers of black gauze mist.
Is this the foundation of this demonic array?
