Chapter 516: Chapter 263: The Truth Behind the Demon Pregnancy and Lu Chan’s Resolve
As for why it wasn’t planted on other Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine, Jue Xing’s soul memory indeed has the reason.
The reason is quite simple, because the Outer Demonic Pregnancy Demon True Technique naturally fuses within the Blood Corpse Mushroom, hiding itself more covertly, even the Sect Leader of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect tried personally but couldn’t detect the true technique within it.
The only way is to carefully probe with the Divine Sense, seeking abnormalities, but the Blood Corpse Mushroom is inherently an evil object.
There are too many anomalies and malevolence within.
Moreover, the Blood Corpse Mushroom is the unique item of the Three Wonders Blood Corpse Sect, and there hasn’t been any Heterodox Cultivator who specifically researched it before, who can assert whether its anomaly is normal or not? Hence, the Blood Corpse Mushroom is the best object for concealment.
To be honest, if Wen Jiu didn’t have the daily settlement panel, didn’t have East Spring Undying Bone, he probably would never have discovered the existence of the Outer Demonic Pregnancy Demon True Technique in his lifetime, and likely would have directly used it for cultivation.
"Thinking like this, the daily settlement panel’s function is indeed versatile." Wen Jiu continued observing Jue Xing’s soul memory. Just as he had thought, the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect is now also researching the fusion of other Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine with the Outer Demonic Pregnancy Demon True Technique, and the progress seems rapid.
The last time Jue Xing returned to the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, he saw a common Tier Two Lower Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicine perfectly fused with the Outer Demonic Pregnancy Demon True Technique. Although it was a coincidence, if they continue researching like this, success may not be far.
"This Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect is truly mad, wanting to demonize the West Mountain Floating Domain with the True Spirit Demon Tree and transform people into True Demons with the Outer Demonic Pregnancy Demon True Technique. Combining both, they intend to make this world completely into a Demon Realm."
Wen Jiu was secretly shocked but also grateful for having the daily settlement panel, which allows him to see things threatening to him.
"This Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, indeed mad... and too cunning like Old Six. Cultivation is difficult enough with all kinds of threats and obstacles, yet one must guard against the scheming of this group of Old Six."
Wen Jiu sighed, but he didn’t mind, as his cultivation relies solely on reciprocal feeding and wouldn’t consume any Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine or such, no matter how cunning the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect is.
Wen Jiu fell into a dilemma on whether to spread this news. Although the Evil Lands and Demon Realm benefit his cultivation, he indeed doesn’t want to see a world full of Demon Cultivators and Demonic beings.
After pondering for a moment, Wen Jiu made a decision, "Wait until my cultivation becomes stronger, no longer fearing divination techniques and threats from the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, then consider acting, after all, they are still in the research phase.
Maybe before they manage to complete their research, the Cultivators in the West Mountain Floating Domain or other Floating Domains will already have detected traces. If so, that would be best, as it wouldn’t require a small Loose Cultivator like me to take any risks."
...
Soon.
Midnight descended.
After the daily settlement, Wen Jiu finally directly witnessed the improvement and changes in East Spring Undying Bone’s bloodline.
Devour a True Spirit Demon Tree and gain fifty thousand Corpse Nurturing Experience.
[East Spring Undying Bone (Tier Three Lower Realm 50000/100000)]
Meanwhile, the bloodline increased by ten thousand experience, transforming from a pure demon corpse to an Undying Corpse Demon.
Evidently.
This is one of the outcomes of East Spring Undying Bone transforming into Unmelting Golden Pill.
[Bloodline: (East Spring Undying Bone 10000/100000) —— Evolution Direction: Undying Corpse Demon]
Lastly, there is the significant enhancement of the Thunder Spirit Demon Blood Body, though it hasn’t completely metamorphosed due to the True Spirit Demon Tree, it gained fifty thousand experience points.
Great harvest.
[Skill: Thunder Spirit Demon Blood Body Tier Three Lower Realm (50000/80000)]
Wen Jiu immediately made a decision, "With this, it becomes quite necessary to take action against the True Spirit Demon Tree from the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect. However, I must seek another opportunity, and must not rush, otherwise I would only end up endangering myself."
As for the consequences this action might cause, Wen Jiu has already considered them, as long as he continues maintaining the identity of Li Bai, neither the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect nor other forces possessing divination techniques can do anything.
Even the strongest among them couldn’t detect the East Spring Undying Bone or the true identity of the other two corpses.
Therefore, as long as I remain low-key in the Little Demon Realm, without being noticed by the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, I am absolutely safe.
"This sense of security is truly comforting." Wen Jiu closed the daily settlement panel and continued to condense Yin Poison.
In the following days, Wen Jiu quietly awaited the final confirmation of Core Formation time from the City Lord’s Mansion of East Pole Immortal City.
Meanwhile, the destruction of the Dark Altar by the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect and the matters of the Hundred Li Land of Absolute Spirit also started to spread crazily. The former was somewhat known by many Golden Core Influences, but the altar was hidden, even the Domain Lord’s Mansion in West Mountain Floating Domain couldn’t discover it.
But now, not only one was found, the surroundings of hundreds of li have been completely transformed into a Land of Absolute Spirit, truly shocking people. When a Golden Core Cultivator mentioned that the Hundred Li Land of Absolute Spirit might never recover within a thousand years, it stirred significant tremors, leaving people guessing what kind of means has such destructive power.
Being able to create Land of Absolute Spirit in the West Mountain Floating Domain, this means are indeed as threatening as the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect.
Yet, amidst the uproar on this matter, the Lu Family Ancestor quietly disappeared, and the other He Family Golden Core followed suit, but because the Life Soul Lamp remained lit, the Lu Family did not panic.
Moreover, Lu Chan and a number of Lu Family members were suddenly invited to the City Lord’s Mansion, so they were not concerned with the Lu Family.
As for why the Lu Family was suddenly invited to the City Lord’s Mansion, it’s because Lu Chan was the only survivor. However, despite repeated inquiries from the City Lord’s Mansion, Lu Chan was unwilling to divulge who rescued her, even divination techniques couldn’t determine it, leaving only to invite the Lu Family Ancestor for persuasion.
Just as the Lu Family members were invited to the City Lord’s Mansion, the late-stage Golden Core Cultivator from the West Mountain Floating Domain arrived, causing a sensation across East Pole Immortal City, leaving the Lu Family members trembling.
Because this person is the supreme commander of the Spirit Suppressing Army in the western part of West Mountain Floating Domain, one of the four Spirit Suppressing Generals. His fame not only resonates throughout the entire West Mountain Floating Domain but also echoes in the Hundred Floating Domains.
Across the entire western part of West Mountain Floating Domain, he is the top authority, any Golden Core Influence, any Immortal City must submit. Additionally, his word alone could directly determine the life and death of a Golden Core Influence.
Lu Feng became anxious upon learning this, promptly scolding Lu Shouren, "Look at your well-taught disciple, the Land of Absolute Spirit involves too much, the method that caused hundreds of li to be unrecoverable for a thousand years is as threatening as the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, yet she refuses to say anything. Does she want the whole Lu Family dragged into an abyss?"
Lu Shouren was equally anxious, yet he clearly understood the reason for Lu Chan’s silence and could only continue persuading her.
Initially, Lu Chan was determined, swearing not to expose Li Bai, but knowing the Spirit Suppressing General of the West Mountain Spirit Suppressing Army had personally arrived, Lu Chan developed slight hesitation. Nonetheless, she also realized if she disclosed Li Bai, letting them know Li Bai caused the Hundred Li Land of Absolute Spirit, Li Bai’s situation would become troublesome.
Simultaneously, she also guessed that Li Bai’s Core Formation was exploiting the Lu Family, anger was justified from the standpoint of the Lu Family members, but Li Bai saving her life was an undeniable fact. Had Li Bai not risked taking action, she probably would’ve perished.
"If you speak, old man can pass you the Pill Transformation Secret Technique of the West Mountain Spirit Suppressing Army, and provide you with Core Formation Spiritual Object, Tier Three Celestial Crystal Pill, and Tier Three Spiritual Vein to aid your attempt to reach the Golden Core Realm again." Said a deep voice from above as Lu Chan struggled, the late-stage Golden Core Spirit Suppressing General in black armor appeared alongside the City Lord of East Pole Immortal City.
The Middle Stage Golden Core City Lord of East Pole Immortal City respectfully waited behind, as the Spirit Suppressing General appeared, the Lu Family members along with the surrounding City Lord’s Mansion Spirit Army desperately knelt in salute, not daring to rise until the Spirit Suppressing General spoke.
Immediately following, the late-stage Golden Core Spirit Suppressing General coldly opened his mouth again, "I give you only one chance, only one chance for your Lu Family. Do you want the opportunity for Core Formation, or insist on not saying anything, thus leading your Lu Family to destruction? This is all up to you."
"Senior, for the sake of the Lu Family, younger has no choice but to speak, but younger wishes to request one thing from senior."
"Speak."
Spirit Suppressing General replied indifferently.
The Lu Family members were desperate, unable to believe Lu Chan dared to propose conditions.
Lu Chan spoke, "That fellow Daoist not only saved me, but he also destroyed the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect’s altar here and while it also caused the Hundred Li Land of Absolute Spirit to be unrecoverable for a millennium, he ultimately stood on the side of the West Mountain Floating Domain, not a threat... Moreover, with his aptitude, if he joins the West Mountain Spirit Suppressing Army, he could definitely become a great aid for senior in opposing the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect."
