Chapter 498 Underground
At this time, Ying Qing was still angry about being deceived and had no intention of committing suicide. Moreover, as the young master of the Jiuying clan, he had many tricks at his disposal, so he immediately confronted the chain formation.
But at the first confrontation, Ying Qing was shocked, because he realized that the quality of this chain formation was so high that he couldn't believe it, which meant that Mu Changsheng might have reached the realm of supernatural power.
"How is it possible that a cultivator in the realm of supernatural powers would come to the Heavenly Demon Realm to act as a spy!" Ying Qing was shocked, because in his opinion this was tantamount to seeking death.
The protective treasures on Ying Qing's body were soon used up, and he was suppressed by the formation and unable to move. Mu Changsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This is also the reason why Mu Changsheng did not wait for Ying Qing to break through, because once Ying Qing breaks through to the Divine Sea Realm, it will be difficult to deal with him as easily as it is now.
Then, Mu Changsheng finally showed up, walked in front of Ying Qing, and said lightly: "I am very interested in the secret you mentioned. If you can tell me, I can swear a great oath not to kill you."
"So this is what you wanted." Ying Qing immediately said in a mocking tone: "Do you think I will tell you?"
"I know the secret you are talking about is that the Nine Infants Demon King is about to pass the tribulation and become the Demon Emperor." Mu Changsheng suddenly spoke, threatening Ying Qing.
Ying Qing's nine heads and nine pairs of eyes all changed slightly when he heard this, and it was obvious that Mu Changsheng had hit the nail on the head.
Ying Qing soon realized that he had been tricked, but he still said nonchalantly: "Even if you knew, what can you do? It won't be long before our demon race will have another demon emperor. You humans just wait."
Seeing that his guess was confirmed, Mu Changsheng's heart sank. What he feared was indeed what would come true.
"I want to know where the Nine-Infant Demon King is undergoing his tribulation?" Mu Changsheng asked again.
"Do you think I will tell you?" Ying Qing still said with a mocking look on his face. As a demon cultivator and the young master of the Nine Infants clan, he would rather die than betray the Nine Infants Demon King.
Mu Changsheng had a blank expression on his face when he saw this. He didn't expect Ying Qing to tell him the truth, but through the conversation, he had basically confirmed that Ying Qing might really know the place where the Nine Infants Demon King would transcend his tribulation, so what he had to do next was to pry open Ying Qing's mouth.
Mu Changsheng himself had been captured by the Black Demon, and he knew clearly that for a cultivator who was not afraid of death, no matter how great the physical pain was, the other party would not surrender. So Mu Changsheng did not intend to torture Ying Qing's body, but directly use the illusion array to torture Ying Qing's spirit. As long as Ying Qing's mental defense line was broken, the other party would tell the secret unconsciously even if he did not want to.
In fact, long before he came into contact with Ying Qing, Mu Changsheng had been planning to use an illusion array to deal with the cultivators of the Nine Infants clan, so he specially asked his black-clothed clone to learn an eighth-grade reincarnation illusion array some time ago. This array can allow Ying Qing's consciousness to reincarnate continuously in the illusion array. In each reincarnation, he will suffer from the seven emotions and six desires, which can easily make it difficult for the other party to distinguish between reality and illusion, causing mental disorder, and he may unconsciously tell the secret at some point.
Moreover, the characteristic of this reincarnation formation is that time passes very quickly. For every day outside, hundreds of reincarnations have already passed inside the formation. Even a person with a firm willpower would not be able to withstand it for too long. Mu Changsheng was even somewhat thankful that the Black Demon had not used this method on him.
While torturing Ying Qing mentally, Mu Changsheng did not forget to observe the faintly visible inscriptions on Ying Qing's body. He planned to copy these inscriptions to see if he could restore the fire-controlling inscription he wanted.
But the process was not smooth, because the inscriptions on Ying Qing's body were not fixed, but were constantly changing. This was most likely a means to prevent outsiders from stealing his knowledge.
So what Mu Changsheng could do was to copy down each different variation of the inscription patterns and keep them for reference, which he could also share with Old Man Shengu for reference in the future.
It was not until three hours later that Mu Changsheng copied all the different types of inscriptions.
"There are a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine different kinds of inscriptions. Perhaps only one of them is what I need. Or perhaps it requires the fusion of different kinds of inscriptions to obtain it." Mu Changsheng pondered in his mind, and at the same time, he gave the nine hundred and ninety-nine different inscriptions to Elder Shengu for research.
At the same time, three hours passed, and Ying Qing had gone through dozens of reincarnations in the formation, but there was no sign of letting up. Even Mu Changsheng had to admire his firm will.
Mu Changsheng decided not to wait any longer. In addition to leaving one incarnation of divine power to keep an eye on Ying Qing all the time, he released the other two incarnations of divine power to look for the trace of the Nine-Infant Demon King.
If the Nine Infants Demon King was undergoing the tribulation in the Heavenly Demon Realm, even if he used some means to conceal the fluctuations of the wind and thunder tribulation, it would be difficult to avoid detection by those who were interested. But if the Nine Infants Demon King was undergoing the tribulation in the void outside the realm, it would be tricky, because the void was too large, and if he just found a corner to hide far away, even if Xiao Niansheng called on all the Nine Realms cultivators such as Mo Lianyue to search together, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, so Xiao Niansheng hoped that Mu Changsheng could find out the place where the Nine Infants Demon King was undergoing the tribulation.
In just one day, Mu Changsheng's divine incarnation traveled almost all over the Heavenly Demon Realm, but disappointingly he did not find any signs of the wind and thunder catastrophe. Although there were some places in the Heavenly Demon Realm that he could not enter, he was also sure that there was no wind and thunder catastrophe there, because the range of the wind and thunder catastrophe covered tens of thousands of miles, no matter how much it was concealed, it would inevitably create blank areas of tens of thousands of miles, and he did not find any blank areas of tens of thousands of miles, so it could be concluded that there were no signs of the wind and thunder catastrophe in those places that he could not enter.
"Could it be that he really went to the void to survive the tribulation?" Mu Changsheng's heart sank. Surviving the tribulation in the endless void required more resources than in the Heavenly Demon Realm, and the demon race was short of resources and should not be so wealthy. Therefore, Mu Changsheng had always hoped that the Nine Infants Demon King would survive the tribulation in the Heavenly Demon Realm. But now his wish has not been fulfilled.
And until now, Ying Qing still showed no signs of giving in, which made Mu Changsheng a little anxious.
So, Mu Changsheng found Xiao Niansheng through his original body who stayed in Tianling Sect and asked for a solution.
After listening to Mu Changsheng's statement, Xiao Niansheng hesitated for a moment and said, "You said that you traveled all over the Heavenly Demon Realm and couldn't find any trace of the Nine Infants Demon King's tribulation?"
"Yes, he may have gone to the endless void to survive the tribulation." Mu Changsheng said anxiously.
"Don't worry." Xiao Niansheng said soothingly: "What about the underground of the Heavenly Demon Realm? Have you visited it?"
"Underground!" Mu Changsheng was stunned when he heard this. He had been searching on the ground and had ignored the underground.
"Don't forget, one of the Nine Infants clan's innate abilities is the ability to control fire, and there is no shortage of fire underground," Xiao Niansheng reminded.
