"I don't know, let's talk about it."

Zhou Shu shook her head gently and walked forward slowly.

Like other places, there are many bell stones hanging upside down here, and the fog condenses into water. Large drops of water droplets continue to drip from above, like rain, and you will get it if you are not careful.

After sensing the demonic energy here, the two of them were unwilling to be hit by the water droplets, so they walked very carefully.

Qingque seemed to be thinking, "The water here and the water curtains outside should all come from this lake, right?"

Zhou Shu nodded and said heavily, "The whole cave is like this, with a profound demonic energy. A cave of immortal cultivation has completely turned into a demon cave. If it is really caused by that demon monkey, then it...ah."

Qingque had a lot of worries in his eyes, "It's very strange. There are eighth-level spiritual veins here, but there is no spiritual energy at all..."

Zhou Shu didn't say anything, and he had the same doubt in his heart. Can the demon monkey block the spiritual energy of the eighth-level spiritual vein?

Soon, the two walked to the deep lake.

The fog on the lake was steaming, constantly changing its shape, like fierce monsters, showing gloomy fangs from time to time, and grinning at the two of them.

Both of them frowned slightly, their hearts sank. The strong demonic energy in the lake was indescribable, and it was much more than the ones outside.

Zhou Shu took a look and showed a little calming.

The lake water is so clear that you can see the bottom of the lake at a glance. You can clearly see that the bottom of the lake is covered with countless black gems, each of which is crystal clear and transparent, and it is also colorless when it passes through the water. It is particularly beautiful.

In the middle of the bottom of the lake, there was a dark hole. The situation in the hole was invisible, and there was only a darkness and a glimmer of light shining out.

The spiritual consciousness cannot be seen. The demonic energy in the lake is too strong, and the spiritual consciousness can only enter three feet and cannot reach far.

"The bottom of this lake..."

Qingque couldn't help but look at Zhou Shu for a few more times and said, "What kind of stones are those? They look like they are not ordinary things."

"It's the best spirit stone, but it's just a spirit stone polluted by the demonic energy," Zhou Shu thought for a while, "Obviously, the spirit vein is in that cave, and the best spirit stone will be born around it, and the demon monkey is also there, so that the spirit stone will be polluted. I probably guessed what's going on."

"Ah, it's actually a spirit stone. Even the top-grade spirit stone is polluted by the demonic energy?"

Qingque was shocked, his heart sank again, and he said suspiciously, "What's going on?"

Looking at the bottom of the lake, Zhou Shu said thoughtfully, "The monks of Aolai Country don't know what method they used to lead the demon monkey into the spiritual vein, and then seal it with the formation to prevent it from coming out, trying to suppress it with the spiritual vein."

"The Demon-Suppressing Monkey..."

Qingque Ru realized something, "Yes, demonic energy and spiritual energy are a pair of natural enemies. It is indeed a good idea to use spiritual veins to suppress the demon monkey and constantly destroy the demonic energy of the demon monkey, making it gradually weaker. The monks in Aolai Country have a good plan... But why are there more and more demonic energy here? In other words, the spiritual veins have not achieved the desired effect, how is this possible?"

Zhou Shu sighed in a slight voice, "Yes, it's really puzzling. That's the eighth-level spiritual vein, and it can't even suppress the demon monkey."

Since Kunlun Mountain was broken and the ninth-level spiritual vein disappeared, the eighth-level spiritual vein has become the best spiritual vein in the Xuanhuang world. It can be regarded as one of the origins of the Xuanhuang world. The spiritual energy and the original energy can be continuously produced from the spiritual vein, but there is no spiritual energy here. Could it be that the demon monkey really has such great ability to use its own demon energy to cover up the spiritual vein?

Or, did the demon monkey destroy the eighth-level spiritual vein?

No matter what I think, it's a bit incredible. The power of the Demon Monkey has really reached this point?

No wonder Aolai Congress did his best to suppress the demon monkey and sacrificed the whole country.

He shook his head, his mind was quite heavy, "It seems that only by going down and looking at it can you know what exactly."

After entering the Water Curtain Cave, things did not develop as expected. Unexpectedly, the Water Curtain Cave had become a demon cave. It seems that over the past tens of thousands of years, the monks of Aolai Kingdom have not been able to suppress the demon monkey, but their spiritual veins have been suppressed by the demon monkey.

"Go down and take a look?"

Qingque was a little worried, "What if the demon monkey is so powerful, it is impossible for us to release it if we go down?"

"It's true."

Zhou Shu said with a serious expression, "But I have to go. Look at the formations around you, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long."

The formation jade pillars around were probably white, but now more than half have turned into half-black and non-white purple, and a small half have turned completely black. The runes on them have gradually become blurred, with only five or six still pure white.

Obviously, those purple and black are all the consequences of being affected by the demonic energy.

Although it has been greatly affected, the formation jade pillar can still exert a certain effect now, thereby suppressing the demon monkey. However, the demon energy can no longer be blocked and spread outward, so the demon energy will spread out along the lake water... After a while, when all the formation jade pillars are polluted by the demon energy, the formation will be completely ineffective. At that time, not only the Water Curtain Cave, but also the entire Huaguo Mountain Secret Realm will be dominated by the demon energy.

"... Those undead demon souls will become stronger and stronger after being nourished by the demonic energy, gradually overwhelming the souls of the cultivator, and even swallowing the souls of the cultivator into their own power, and the demon monkey will be released. If the demon monkey and so many demon souls will all leave the secret realm..."

Zhou Shu glanced at the bottom of the lake, his eyes froze, "No one can change it anymore. The entire Nanzhanzhou and even the Xuanhuang world will usher in a catastrophe."

Qingque's heart was shocked and his face gradually turned pale, "What you said is that if the demonic energy continues to rage like this, anything can happen."

Zhou Shu nodded gently, his face gradually became calm, and he said calmly, "Since you are here, you must figure it out and try not to let things go in a bad direction. This is the responsibility of our immortal cultivators."

Qingque looked at Zhou Shu, as if he didn't know him, then nodded seriously, "Yes."

Zhou Shu smiled slightly, "You don't have to be so heavy. The result may not be as we thought. I'll go down and see first. You'll wait for me here. If you don't see me out in half an hour, you can..."

“Go down together.”

Qingque just shook his head, even grabbed Zhou Shu's hand, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why can you leave me at this time?"

Zhou Shu said lightly, "I will die. There is the soul tower you want outside, if you..."

"Don't underestimate me. The monks of Aolai Country can do it. If you can do it, I can do it too." Qingque shook his head, interrupted him, pointed to the bottom of the lake, "Stop talking, let's go together."

Her eyes were full of stubbornness, so firm that it was impossible to change.

Zhou Shu glanced at her and nodded, "Okay."
