The Way of the Immortal Master

Meng Zhang killed Zhenjun Yanyun, and the battle was almost over.

A group of comrades-in-arms he brought had also completed the task long ago and wiped out the enemy.

Even though they knew that sects like Yanyun Grottoes were mostly worthless, everyone still habitually cleaned up the battlefield and collected spoils.

Meng Zhang didn't care about the others, and flew directly to a piece of ruins covered by rocks.

When accepting the mission, Grandma Qiansi specifically emphasized that she wanted him to enter the depths of the cave in Yanyun Grotto and destroy a piece of jade inside.

Even without Granny Qiansi's instructions, Meng Zhang sensed something was wrong.

In the battle just now, True Monarch Yanyun deliberately destroyed the surrounding terrain, destroyed the surrounding mountains, and almost completely covered up the entire mountain gate of Yanyun Cave.

He thought he was doing it secretly, but it didn't escape Meng Zhang's attention.

With a single wave of Meng Zhang's hand, a huge amount of earth and rock in front of him was lifted into the air by an invisible force, and then thrown not far away.

After a few movements, an unfathomably large hole appeared on the ground in front of him.

The reason why the sect of Yanyun Grottoes got its name is because at the core of the mountain gate, there is a cave that is extremely deep, reaching deep into the ground.

It is said that this cave is so deep that it has already reached the ground fire layer.

Endless ground fires burned underground, and massive clouds of smoke filled the entire crypt.

The ground fire here is too fierce, it can't be used for alchemy, nor can it be used for refining weapons. On the contrary, a certain fire-type kung fu inherited from Yanyun Grotto can be practiced with the help of the earth fire here.

As soon as Meng Zhang lifted the earth and rocks covering the crypt, a thick cloud of smoke began to emerge from inside.

From time to time, several tongues of flames could be seen scurrying in the crypt.

From the beginning of the war to the present, it has been almost confirmed that the information provided by Granny Qiansi is reliable, and the strength of the enemy is all within expectations.

In the Catacombs, there shouldn't be many hidden enemies.

Meng Zhang, a man of high art and courage, jumped into the burrow without any delay.

Meng Zhang went deep underground along this passage.

Along the way, there are many restrictions and traps. Meng Zhang hardly spends time on these restrictions and traps, and advances quickly like a broken bamboo.

The deeper it went into the ground, the hotter the smoke in the crypt became. In the smoke cloud, there is even more violent fire poison.

Even if it is an ordinary Yuanshen Zhenjun, if he enters here suddenly without sufficient preparation in advance, most of them will be messed up.

Meng Zhang didn't care about these, and continued to move forward quickly.

After he went deep underground, a huge stone room appeared in front of him.

In the stone room, there are more than a dozen practitioners who have fallen into a deep sleep.

When Meng Zhang quickly approached here, these cultivators struggled to wake up.

Before Meng Zhang entered the stone room, he discovered the existence of these cultivators.

A huge invisible force descended from the sky, firmly imprisoning these cultivators in place.

Meng Zhang entered the stone room and began to examine these practitioners carefully.

As expected, these cultivators have long been parasitized by demon spirits.

The demon spirits hide deep in their bodies, urging their strength to increase rapidly.

These more than a dozen cultivators now have the strength of Jindan Daoist.

If Meng Zhang had been here for a few years later, he might have faced more than a dozen Yuanshen-level enemies.

It's a coincidence that Meng Zhang is here now.

While these demon spirits want to deepen their integration with the parasitic practitioners, they also need to urge them to increase their strength at full speed.

They probably cast some kind of weird magical secret technique and fell into a state of deep sleep.

If it wasn't for a big event, they wouldn't wake up on their own initiative.

Demon spirit possession has reached this level, and these cultivators are completely hopeless.

Meng Zhang didn't know the origins of these cultivators, let alone how they got to this point.

The only thing he could do for them was to crush all the cultivators, and even the demon spirits that possessed them, into powder.

If it was an ordinary monk who didn't know the inside story, he might have wiped out this group of sleeping demons and thought he had completed the task.

Of course Meng Zhang will not be like this.

He looked around the stone room, the stone room was completely integrated, and there seemed to be no exit.

Meng Zhang stomped lightly with his left foot, and the floor of the stone room cracked, revealing a deep hole below.

Tongues of fire scurry through the entrance of the cave, and it seems that the ground below is where the fire gathers.

Regardless of these, Meng Zhang continued to dive downward.

A mere fire could not hurt him at all.

Going thousands of feet deeper into the ground, Meng Zhang entered the ground fire layer.

This is the world of flames, and everywhere you look, there are all kinds of flames.

The flames here are so hot that they can completely melt iron and sparkle gold.

There is flowing magma on the ground, and various strange-shaped monsters made of flames can be vaguely seen in the magma.

These are spirits transformed from the essence of flames.

Meng Zhang let out a little bit of breath, and the monster in the fire did not dare to approach at all, but ran around in fright.

Arriving here, the cave seems to have come to an end.

Meng Zhang just glanced around and continued to act.

He jumped into the ground fire, and all the flames actively separated towards the two sides, making way for him.

Meng Zhang's body dived under the ground fire layer, as if he did not meet the slightest resistance.

After diving for more than two thousand feet, a barrier of flames appeared in front of Meng Zhang's eyes.

He punched it lightly, and the flame barrier was broken, revealing a secret room hidden behind.

Meng Zhang stepped into the secret room one step at a time, and everything in the secret room appeared before his eyes.

The most eye-catching thing in the secret room is a red jade biscuit as tall as a person.

This red jade disc should be the target that Granny Qiansi wants Meng Zhang to destroy.

But Meng Zhang didn't take care of the red jade disc first, but shot out a sword aura casually.

The sword energy shot above the secret room, forcing out the guy hiding here.

It was a monster with a human head and a bird body. The appearance alone gave people a very strange feeling.

On this monster with a human head and a bird body, Meng Zhang sensed a familiar aura.

It was very similar to Yanyun Zhenjun, with little difference.

With Meng Zhang's eyesight, after a little thought, he understood.

This monster with the head of a man and the body of a bird, and the demon spirit possessing the True Monarch Yanyun are essentially one.

The demon split a clone and hid it here in order to survive after the deity's accident.

It has to be said that these monsters are not very good at other things, but they are full of desire to survive.

If Meng Zhangzhu killed Zhenjun Yanyun, thinking that the other party was completely finished, and then left, maybe this clone of the demon spirit would have a high chance of surviving.

After a few years, this monster can make a comeback.
