C19 Refining

The Meng Chou woke up, not daring to look at the Du yuer anymore, he immediately sat down and started refining the Earth Dragon Fruit.

"How do I sleep tonight?" The Du yuer asked with a smile.

The Meng Chou opened his eyes, and indifferently said, "Pulling the dome of heaven into a canopy, and paving the mountains as a pillow!"

"…"

Meng Chou sunk his demonic consciousness into the demon's lair. The Blood and Fire Nascent Souls refined the spirit energy of the Earth Dragon Fruit together, and the two Nascent Souls shared a lot of spirit juice. Not long after, the two babies opened their eyes and glared at each other. The fire baby's hand condensed into a sword and stabbed at the baby. The sword was indeed not a fire sword, but an earth sword made of mud. The Blood Soul didn't dodge. The hand seal technique was immediately covered by a thick layer of earth armor. The Earth Sword stabbed into the earth armor, not moving at all.

The two Blood Fire Nascent Souls did not make any moves. They smiled and hugged each other, as if they were good brothers.

Then, the two babies sat on the lotus seat and began to meditate. The walls of the demon's lair began to move, and from top to bottom, solid earth spikes shot out and extended. Each of the earth spikes had a devil's face on it, and it was devilishly cold. Xue Buyun, Xiao Mu, Lin Dong … Beneath the lotus throne, a torrential river of blood surged. The walls stabbed into Xiao Xiao, and the entire Devil Nest seemed very strange, as if it really was a nest of demons.

When he opened his eyes, his consciousness followed the spread of the ground. After eating one Earth Spirit Fruit, his control over the surrounding land had greatly increased. Originally, it was limited to only five steps around him, but now it could control an area of 10 metres.

"Boss, is it okay?" The Du yuer asked.

The Meng Chou nodded and smiled at the Du yuer. He looked around and saw the sun rising, the morning glow shining. He couldn't help but be surprised. To think that refining the spirit energy from the Earth Dragon Fruit would take an entire night, but he didn't notice it in the Devil Nest.

Xue lingtongzi appeared from the side and handed his hands over to Meng Chou, then said in a childish voice: "Master, breakfast!"

When Meng Chou looked over, he saw that they were two ripe persimmon seeds. The dew on the persimmon seeds seemed to be proof that it rained yesterday. Looking at the two persimmon seeds in Xue lingtongzi's hands, Meng Chou was not in a hurry to catch them. He recalled that Xue lingtongzi was an earth expert, but as for the persimmon seeds, they should not be able to catch him, so he asked: "How did you get this fruit?"

Xue lingtongzi turned his head and looked at the far away mountain tomato. Meng Chou looked over and saw a few wild monkeys climbing up some persimmon trees. Those wild monkeys were picking the persimmon seeds, causing Meng Chou's doubt to increase.

Xue lingtongzi pouted and looked at the wild monkeys on the persimmon trees in disdain. "Those stupid monkeys!"

Hearing that, Meng Chou still did not understand, but his face did not change, if he were to ask, he would be mocked by Xue lingtongzi. The Du yuer at his side explained his intentions, "I will smash your rock, and you will throw me, a persimmon!"

Meng Chou suddenly realised that Xue lingtongzi had used a rock to smash the wild monkeys on the persimmon tree. Those wild monkeys were naturally unwilling, and used the tree to pick the persimmon seeds and use it as a weapon to smash Xue lingtongzi.

Meng Chou took the persimmon from Xue lingtongzi's hands and peeled it for food. Du yuer watched on from the side with great interest.

Meng Chou frowned and asked: "Did you eat it?"

Du yuer smiled charmingly, "I've already eaten!"

Eat the wild persimmon, hands behind the mountain, only to feel the deep mountains old forest after a night rain, double clean. The air reeked of moisture, and it was so fresh that it was easy to smell it.

"Master, when I went to play last night and smelled a spiritual medicine, I went as I pleased and finally came before a cave. However, the cave is very strange, and no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to get inside!" Xue lingtongzi said seriously.

"Oh?" The Meng Chou was happy, it was not strange for there to be a cave in a hundred thousand mountains, maybe a certain Rogue Demon took a fancy to this place and started cultivating here, it was not a strange thing, the dynasty was vast, among the mountains and rivers, there were many demons that cultivated. No matter what Xue lingtongzi said, it would never be able to collide with the cave. It must be because its owner had placed some sort of restriction on the cave. Xue lingtongzi said that there were treasures in the cave, but no one knew what kind of treasures they were. If the treasures were good enough, Meng Chou wouldn't mind killing demons for their treasures.

Meng Chou looked at Xue lingtongzi and asked: "Then do you know what treasure it is?"

"I wonder what treasure it is. It smells very good!" Xue lingtongzi bit his finger and said.

The Meng Chou was unable to determine what kind of spirit medicine it was from the words of the Xue lingtongzi. There are a lot of spirit medicine that could emit fragrance in the world, just based on the smell, how can one determine?

"Bring us there to take a look!" The Meng Chou said.

"Alright!" Xue lingtongzi replied as he jumped into the forest.

Meng Chou and Du yuer followed closely behind Xue lingtongzi, and the red leaf chrysanthemums around them also stopped paying attention to them. After two hours, they arrived at a certain place in the mountain. They felt that the cave was covered in weeds and covered in thorns. Because there was no demon walking in front of the cave all year round, there was no path. There were also vines hanging in front of the cave, densely packed. Although the vines were withered and yellow, and their leaves had fallen, the dense vines had covered the cave. If not for Xue lingtongzi, it would be difficult for ordinary demons to notice this cave.

Meng Chou observed the cave. The more he observed, the more shocked he was, feeling as if the vines and thorns in front of the cave had turned into sword shadows and were rushing over. Meng Chou's body trembled. He was startled and stopped using his demonic consciousness, only using his naked eyes to look at the cave. After a long time, he sighed: "I cannot break through this illusion formation!"

"Even the Earth Controlling Technique can't do it?" Du yuer asked gently.

"Your uncle seems to be quite knowledgeable about magical formations. Can you tell him to crack it?" Du yuer thought of Ji Baiyi. Back then when he captured Xue lingtongzi, Ji Baiyi had even set up a "Imperceptible Formation". Only later on did he find out that this "Imperceptible Formation" was actually drawn by Ji Baiyi himself.

Meng Chou shook his head, and said indifferently: "In the future, if there are any matters, we can carry them ourselves. Uncle has already been busy for more than ten years searching for spirit medicine, and his cultivation has been delayed by quite a bit because of this.

"Got it!" Du yuer charmingly said.

Meng Chou frowned, then walked towards the cave entrance, towards the unknown illusion array. As soon as he entered the formation, the scenery around him changed. Soon, golden chrysanthemums bloomed within the mountains. A gentle breeze blew, sending the fragrance of chrysanthemums over. In the distance, the fiery red morning glory bloomed again. It swayed in the wind, like balls of fire burning in the heart. The round orange persimmon hung from the tree, looking like a small lantern from afar. Meng Chou was shocked, this was clearly the scene of the mountain that he saw yesterday, why would it reappear now?

Just as Meng Chou was startled, the surrounding scenery changed. He felt that the sky was already dark and the sky was filled with cold stars, a few of them blinking. The autumn wind blew gently, disconsolate and intoxicated. Not long after, the dark clouds in the night sky began to roll up and down. The stars began to retreat, and the heaven and earth became dark and devoid of light. In the blink of an eye, the rain began to fall. This scene was clearly from last night's rain, so why would it appear here?

The Meng Chou had just started to think, but the scenery suddenly changed. The river water of the Falling Water Bay was green, and occasionally one or two demonic fish would surface, causing ripples on the surface. On the reeds by the river, many demon frogs stuck their heads out and lazily bathed in the light of the setting sun. The river reflected the blood-red sunset, and when the earth was still, everything seemed calm and peaceful. This place was clearly the place where Du yuer had met his father, Du Zhishan, a long time ago.

Meng Chou turned around and looked around. The scenery changed again and on top of Meng Chou and Du yuer's heads, there was that small umbrella. The umbrella covered Du yuer's entire body and half of his shoulders. Dark clouds covered the area outside the umbrella and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Not long after, it rained down with a heavy downpour, causing the small umbrella to make a clicking sound. Droplets of rain once again fell along the umbrella's edge, falling onto the Ripple of Lovesick and disappearing without a trace. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. It was getting heavier and heavier. He couldn't see far, couldn't see through the misty rain. Rain drops fell on the umbrella, and a string of rain curtain fell around the umbrella. The beautiful woman under the umbrella had a smile on her face, and her expression was as happy as a blossoming flower. Meng Chou frowned. Because there was a beautiful woman leaning on his right shoulder, it was warm like love. It was also cold like ice because his left shoulder was drenched in the rain. The left shoulder was cold, the right warm. The silver serpent danced outside the umbrella. Streaks of lightning tore apart the rain curtain as they flew through the air with bared fangs and brandished claws, illuminating the entire dusky world with a bright light for an instant. When the lightning disappeared, the world returned to darkness. As the thunder fell, a strong gale began blowing the rain in front of them in a slanted manner. The gale blew past their clothes and their hair fluttered in the wind. Beneath their feet, the white silk was like waves. Lightning, thunder, rain, gales. Umbrella, snuggling male and female, white silk.

"… …"

Meng Chou looked at the constantly changing scenery and was surprised in his heart. What kind of array was this? Why did all the scenes that he had seen appear one by one? They were so real that the devil could not tell whether they were real or fake. Meng Chou was anxious, if he did not break this array, let alone entering the cave, he would never be able to leave this array in his life, would he really be trapped here for the rest of his life?

If he was trapped here for the rest of his life, how could he seal the devil?

Meng Chou was rushing and clashing inside the array, his mind was in a mess, the scenery here was constantly changing, how could he find any clues in the array and break the array? No, he had to be calm.

Meng Chou took a deep breath and stood straight. He closed his eyes and formed a seal with his hands, allowing his heart to be at peace. If the mind was in chaos, then the mind would be in chaos. When the heart is calm, the mind is calm. Tranquility allows the mind to be open, no longer limited to the predicament at hand.

After a long while, Meng Chou suddenly opened his eyes and watched the formation with his naked eyes. No matter how much the scene in front of him changed, it was an array formation after all.

Meng Chou observed for a long time, but was unable to find the contact point for the myriad of scenery that was created by the array formation. His heart gradually became restless again, walking back and forth, he muttered to himself: "Where are the similar points? Where is the contact point? Which part of the ten thousand sceneries is the same? "

After thinking for a long time, he felt that there seemed to be no connection between the scenery. Sometimes it was the scenery of his childhood, sometimes it was just this period of time, the scenery kept changing, and it was difficult to see what was the same. However, the Meng Chou had seen these scenes with his own eyes, either when he was young, or when he was a child, or not that long ago …

"Why is it that I have seen all these scenes before?" The Meng Chou muttered to himself.

After thinking for a moment, a bold idea flashed through his mind: "Am I the core of this formation?" And all the scenes were related to him. When he personally appeared in every scene, it was him who always used the scenery and not others who viewed him as a demon.

Thinking about it, Meng Chou's mind suddenly opened up. As long as he walked out of the scenery, the array formation would naturally be broken!

The scenery in front of him changed again, and he saw that in the Little Devil Village, the demons were all busy. Meng Chou closed his demonic consciousness and with a thought, he spread his purple gold wings and flew out of the village.

Outside the array, Du yuer and the Xue lingtongzi only saw the vines and thorns in front of the cave transform into a few array flags that fluttered in the wind.
