Chapter 930: Lifting the Curse. (First update! Please subscribe!)
Under the System's control, Pei Ling sat directly opposite the prisoner and immediately began to Cultivate.
As the Cultivation Technique operated, the magical power within his body gradually began to recover.
At the same time, his injuries further healed.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Pei Ling's ear: "Hmph!"
The person who spoke was clearly very displeased, their voice cold and filled with anger.
Pei Ling was stunned when he heard this; it was Mo Li Lan's voice!
More accurately, it should be the Fallen Immortal Will's voice.
※ ※ ※
Ice Plain Sea of Consciousness.
Unbeknownst when, the towering snow peaks in the distance had quietly disappeared, and the ice sculptures scattered across the entire ice plain gradually lost their traces.
The sudden darkness was like a bowl of thick ink, suddenly poured onto the originally clear landscape painting, devouring all scenery.
In the darkness, a figure entwined by layers of chains stood quietly.
At the center of the chains, the prisoner in prison clothes frowned deeply.
The darkness before him was like a tangible entity: viscous, cold, dead, and eerie; even his Divine Thought could not pierce through it to discern what lay within.
Rustling sounds and clamoring voices rose and fell, echoing in his ears, causing an involuntary sense of irritation.
…This was the Nether Sky Mist from the Eternal Night Desert!
He had walked in this darkness for a very, very long time, but he had neither been attacked nor encountered any targets he could attack.
It was as if this darkness was merely a larger cage, imprisoning him within it.
The prisoner pondered for a moment, then looked down at his feet.
The reflection of the delicate woman on the pale, moonlit ice surface had vanished.
With his eyesight, looking down now, the ice surface below was empty, with nothing there.
His expression immediately turned solemn; he already knew who he had provoked!
There were very few existences with such heaven-reaching methods under the sky!
Moreover, this Nether Sky Mist…
If there were no surprises, the other party was the one sleeping in the Eternal Night Desert!
However, what had descended here was most likely just a wisp of the other party's Will.
Otherwise, they could have directly forced a Possession, without needing to play hide-and-seek and act so mysteriously as they were now.
Thinking of this, the prisoner slowly raised his hand, pulling on the many chains, producing a series of crisp sounds. He bowed to the darkness before him and said in a clear voice: "Senior, you are currently just a wisp of Will, without any Immortal power. You cannot do anything to this Junior."
"This Junior did not know that the Soul Transformation Junior was the vessel you chose, and I offended you greatly just now. I am willing to compensate you sincerely."
"Please, Senior, stop and name your price."
"This place is Due Abyss."
"Even if Warden is not present, with the many disciplinary Laws in operation, it is not a good place."
"Continuing this stalemate will be of no benefit or meaning to either of us."
As he spoke, the prisoner looked around, observing the surrounding darkness.
After a long while, there was no response from within the darkness.
Nor was there any special movement.
The prisoner frowned deeply. He was currently trapped in his Sea of Consciousness by the other party, and his Physical Body in the outside world had been asleep for several days.
Although he had been imprisoned in Due Abyss for an incredibly long time, sleeping for a few days now was nothing.
However, his opponent at the moment was the Fallen Immortal Will.
A true Immortal!
The Xian Family methods he possessed must be beyond imagination.
Even if it was just a wisp of Will, it might not be without danger.
He had to wake up as soon as possible!
Thinking of this, the prisoner continued: "Senior, if you have any instructions, please speak directly."
"As long as this Junior can do it, I will definitely do my best, without hesitation."
There was still no reaction from within the darkness.
The prisoner's expression darkened. After careful consideration, he suddenly said: "Senior, this Junior has a method that can allow your true body to awaken early!"
As soon as his voice fell, there was finally movement in the Nether Sky Mist.
Mo Li Lan's chilling voice came: "What method?"
Upon hearing this, the prisoner's heart settled. It was indeed the Fallen Immortal Will!
Although he didn't know how this wisp of Fallen Immortal Will came out of the Eternal Night Desert, that wasn't important now.
As long as the other party was interested in awakening, that was enough!
Thinking of this, the prisoner, instead of answering, asked: "Senior, you are currently occupying this Junior's Sea of Consciousness. Do you intend to Possess this Junior?"
A cold snort came from the Nether Sky Mist: "Rest assured! This Physical Body of yours has been eroded by the Qi of Earthly Fiends for a long time and is already impure and filthy. This Venerable One will not occupy such a dirty vessel."
"It's just that I wish to borrow the cultivation of your Physical Body to recover some strength."
The prisoner frowned deeply and immediately asked: "Senior, are you refining this Junior's magical power?"
The voice from within the Nether Sky Mist replied faintly: "The only thing here that can enter this Venerable One's eyes is the Law power."
Law power?!
The prisoner was startled at first, then immediately realized something and quickly asked: "Senior, can you refine the Law power here?"
"That has nothing to do with you." The voice from within the Nether Sky Mist said coldly, "Quickly tell me what method it is!"
Hearing this, the prisoner fell silent for a moment. After a while, he suddenly looked up in a certain direction, a faint green light flashing in his eyes: Over there!
Without the slightest hesitation, the chains around his body immediately surged out like a frenzy of snakes, stabbing towards the existence within the Nether Sky Mist!
※ ※ ※
The next morning.
The "Huang" Zone.
A cold wind howled.
The canyon, interwoven with dark green and crimson, was desolate and barren, with countless ravines.
In front of a rock wall that was half-quarried, space rippled, and a figure emerged, none other than Wenren Lingse.
Due to the Taboo in the "Huang" Zone that forbade labor in the morning for the past six months, the prisoners had not yet begun quarrying.
Wenren Lingse surveyed her surroundings, and with a thought, she split into two, temporarily manifesting an Incarnation.
Upon its appearance, this Incarnation immediately stepped forward and began to quarry stone.
Clang, clang, clang…
As soon as she started, both her Incarnation and her true body immediately felt their blood boiling and showing signs of decay; in the ethereal realm, a Curse descended!
Wenren Lingse's expression remained unchanged, and she quickly used her great magical power to forcibly erase the Curse she had incurred.
Her true body formed hand seals, continuously performing calculations.
At the same time, her Incarnation continued to labor.
After a full half an hour, Wenren Lingse finally nodded slightly. Afterward, she took out a stack of blank Talismans, which rustled as she scattered them into the air. The many Talismans immediately floated in mid-air, remaining motionless despite the cold wind.
Wenren Lingse raised her hand and swiftly inscribed various complex runes onto these Talismans with her magical power, creating one targeted Talisman after another on the spot. As a faint light flickered, a peculiar power slowly diffused.
A moment later, all the Talismans were completed. Wenren Lingse cast a magical incantation, and the Talismans instantly scattered, shooting towards various directions within the "Huang" Zone.
Chapter 931: Escape. (Second update! Please subscribe!)
Wenren Lingse's hand seals changed incessantly, like disorderly blooming flowers, and the entire "Huang" Zone was gradually enveloped by a layer of light crimson glow.
This layer of light, initially like clouds and mist, seemed to be a giant bowl inverted over the vast "Huang" Zone.
But as Wenren Lingse employed her methods, it quickly gathered towards the central dome, and in an instant, formed a line of huge cloud-script, suspended high in the air: "One must not labor in the morning."
Wenren Lingse snorted coldly and immediately struck, her halberd whistling as it swept across.
Crack.
In the Void Realm, there was a crisp sound like shattering glass.
The next moment, the cloud-script quietly shattered.
The entire "Huang" Zone was quiet, yet it seemed to relax a bit, a cold wind swiftly swept through, and everything returned to normal.
Wenren Lingse continued to use her Incarnation to quarry stones, but this time, no Curse appeared.
She labored for a while longer, then nodded slightly. The Curse in the "Huang" Zone was resolved. All that remained was the matter of Dr. Wu and that Su Zhentian female cultivator.
However, that Su Zhentian female cultivator had already perished long ago, and that Dr. Wu could even disguise himself as a Warden… It was very possible that the Su Zhentian female cultivator was also an Incarnation of Dr. Wu!
Of course, this was only her speculation. Whether it was true or not would only be confirmed after further investigation.
But at present, since the Su Zhentian female cultivator had not shown herself, Wenren Lingse decided to prioritize resolving Dr. Wu's matter.
"This Dr. Wu is so stubborn; he hasn't said a word despite all the tortures."
"Such a obstinate person, having only stayed in the "Tian" Zone for a mere day, may not be willing to confess anything."
"Soul Transformation cultivation… His limit should be three days."
"I'll release him the day after tomorrow. If he still refuses to speak, I'll torture him again…"
Thinking of this, Wenren Lingse was about to go to the "Tian" Zone. With the loosening of the precepts, the prisoners in the "Tian" Zone were becoming more restless than ever.
Although she had already intimidated many prisoners once when she first returned.
However, those who could be imprisoned in the "Tian" Zone were all Cultivators of exceptional cultivation and iron will. Such prisoners would absolutely not give up on escaping just because of her single warning and reprimand.
As long as the loosening of the precepts was not resolved, these people would certainly continue to play tricks.
To be safe, she had to keep a close eye on them.
But at this moment, Wenren Lingse's expression shifted, and she took out a sound transmission talisman from her storage bag.
After activating it, Nie Biliu's voice immediately came through, speaking rapidly: "Si Yuan, Chongming Sect Master's wife, Si Hong Qingyan, suddenly appeared near the Due Abyss entrance, and she has begun attacking the entrance."
"Junior Martial Uncle Yang, who is guarding the entrance, cannot resist and has already activated all protective formations. He is struggling to hold on."
"Please give your instructions, Si Yuan."
Wenren Lingse's delicate brows furrowed. Si Hong Qingyan was a vengeful person. The last time the two of them fought, the other party eventually fled into the Void Realm with her White Bone Palace. She had thought the matter was over, but she didn't expect the other party to come back and harass Due Abyss!
Fortunately, she was currently in Due Abyss, so she wasn't afraid of the other party coming to cause trouble!
Therefore, Wenren Lingse immediately said: "I will go meet this demoness now."
※ ※ ※
"Tian" Zone.
Below the abyss wall, in the Chaos darkness.
Pei Ling sat cross-legged on the ground, still Cultivating.
Suddenly, he felt an invisible shackles on his body suddenly disappear.
This feeling…
With just a slight thought, Pei Ling understood that the Decree of Life and Death he had set up in the "Huang" Zone using the System had been erased!
This was most likely the work of that female Cultivator.
The prisoner in the "Tian" Zone yesterday called her Wenren Lingse, coupled with her astonishing cultivation and strength… This woman must be Wenren Lingse, Director of Doom Crossing Abyss of Due Abyss.
With Si Yuan returning to Due Abyss to take charge, it would be difficult for him to escape Due Abyss now!
Fortunately, he was no longer bound by the chains of the "Tian" Zone. After his Cultivation ended, he could directly escape into the Little Free Heaven.
Sleeping in the Little Free Heaven for two decades was better than being imprisoned in Due Abyss for a lifetime.
Hmm…
It would be best if his Master Medicine Immortal woke up early and directly sent him out of Due Abyss.
Just as he was thinking, Pei Ling suddenly felt a trace of strange power, indescribable by language and incomprehensible by thought, gradually emerge in the surrounding darkness.
He was immediately stunned. He was very familiar with this power!
The last time he Cultivated the Sea of Consciousness for the Decree of Life and Death, the System had given him this power… This was the power of Law!
After Wenren Lingse erased his Decree of Life and Death, the scattered power of Law was absorbed by the surrounding darkness?
Immediately after, in the darkness, the power of Law became more and more abundant.
Initially, it was just wisps, then it spread like a spiderweb, pervading the entire darkness, dense and numerous.
Crack!
Suddenly, the sound of a chain breaking rang out, and at the same time, the aura of the prisoner opposite Pei Ling suddenly soared.
Pei Ling didn't know what was happening, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
However, he was still under System's Hosting, so he couldn't do anything.
Time slowly passed.
In a flash, two days went by.
Crack, crack, crack…
The sound of chains breaking became more and more frequent.
Pei Ling felt increasingly uneasy.
"Ding-dong! This Cultivation has been completed. Thank you, Host, for using the Intelligent Cultivation System. One-click Hosting, worry-free Ascension! We look forward to your Cultivation review. Please give us a five-star rating if you are satisfied…"
Just then, the System prompt sounded, and he finally regained control of his body. Without any hesitation, he immediately took out the Void Heaven Realm Seed, but before he could activate it, a familiar voice suddenly came from his ear: "Incarnation!"
Hearing this, Pei Ling frowned. This was the voice of the Fallen Immortal Will!
His mind shifted, and he quickly replied: "Ten breaths at most."
Mo Li Lan said: "That's enough!"
Pei Ling nodded slightly, then without hesitation, immediately separated his Incarnation.
Dark red patterns surged wildly into his back, and a fair and beautiful figure emerged. The snow-white body flashed in the darkness, then immediately donned a profound robe identical to the surrounding darkness.
Mo Li Lan didn't waste any words and immediately stepped out from behind Pei Ling, walking towards the prisoner.
Pei Ling followed closely behind.
Soon, he saw Mo Li Lan stop behind the prisoner. The prisoner was currently hanging his head, his long hair falling loosely, obscuring his face, making it impossible to see his features. The dense chains that bound him were now covered in cracks, as if a light touch would cause them to completely shatter.
Mo Li Lan stretched out her palm and pressed it against the top of his skull, tilting her head slightly. Her palm's magical power fluctuated, seemingly absorbing something.
The surrounding darkness suddenly seemed to be summoned, all pouring into Mo Li Lan's body.
As the darkness faded, the Cultivator's eyesight was no longer severely restricted. Pei Ling saw the prisoner's limbs begin to twitch slightly, as if struggling with all his might, and his aura grew stronger and stronger, like a primordial beast gradually awakening.
The moment all the darkness was absorbed by Mo Li Lan, the prisoner suddenly raised his head. Amidst his disheveled long hair, a cold light shot out, and his eyes suddenly opened into a narrow slit!
Pei Ling's expression changed. Before he could react, Mo Li Lan suddenly appeared beside him, then grabbed his wrist and swiftly fled upwards.
In just a blink of an eye, Pei Ling and Mo Li Lan had appeared outside the "Tian" Zone.
"Senior, why the rush?"
A gloomy, vast voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire Due Abyss. Immediately after, a majestic, boundless, and terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the deepest layer of the "Tian" Zone.
The entire Due Abyss instantly became gloomy.
Then, a gigantic demonic hand, covering the sky and sun, reached directly out from the bottom of the abyss, as if the dome of the entire Due Abyss had collapsed, and grabbed towards Pei Ling and Mo Li Lan!
Chapter 932 Big Change! (Third update! Please subscribe!)
Yanxi City Territory.
The valley, once lush with vegetation and teeming with contented birds and beasts, had been razed to the ground.
Decayed runes flickered feebly amidst the ruins, eventually dissipating their last trace of spiritual energy.
Above the sky, a White Bone Palace, wreathed in a sanguine aura, slowly moved into the Void Realm.
Si Hong Qingyan’s enchanting voice emanated from the palace, echoing throughout the heavens and earth: “Wenren Lingse, for now, this Saint will let you off. We will compete again next time!”
Wenren Lingse’s brows were tightly furrowed as she coldly watched the palace depart.
Si Hong Qingyan’s strength was evident; she could repel her opponent but couldn't keep her there.
Leaning on her halberd, she declared icily, “If you dare to come again next time, then don’t ever leave.”
“Hehehe… It was just a valley that was demolished. Why such a temper?” Si Hong Qingyan seemed to be covering her mouth with a light chuckle. “Could it be that you haven’t been plucked for a long time, and your empty boudoir is lonely?”
Before her voice faded, the palace had completely disappeared into the Void Realm.
Wenren Lingse snorted. This Si Hong Qingyan was too rampant. She would immediately set up a trapping Formation nearby to prepare.
If the other party dared to come again next time, she would see if she could still be so presumptuous!
As she was thinking, she suddenly sensed something, and her expression instantly changed drastically.
Something had happened in Due Abyss!
Someone was trying to break out of the "Tian" Zone!
She immediately disregarded Si Hong Qingyan and vanished in a flash, swiftly returning to Due Abyss.
※ ※ ※
Due Abyss.
"Xuan" Character District.
Fei Su and Ge Chongti walked slowly through the Formation-protected guard residential area.
Due to a large number of personnel being reassigned, the continuous buildings were mostly vacant at this moment.
They deliberately chose a less-traveled path, conversing in low voices as they walked.
“...Although we were unable to reach the Ying Prefecture battlefield this time, the fact that the three members of the Si Hong Clan could infiltrate the Yanxi City Territory and ambush us midway shows how fierce the battle is.” Ge Chongti said with emotion, “Now that Wenren Lingse, Director of Doom Crossing Abyss has returned, although she has resolved the Curse in the "Huang" Zone and temporarily stabilized the situation in Due Abyss, I don't know if the front lines will be strained because of this…”
Fei Su was silent for a moment, then sighed, “The Demonic Path is ambitious and fears nothing less than chaos…”
He paused, then added, “By the way, Senior Brother, after Si Hongduo left Due Abyss… how was his conduct?”
Ge Chongti pondered, “Compared to the records in the files, he is like a completely different person. His Heart-Nature is peaceful, and he holds the principles and righteousness of our Righteous Path as a guiding light. After the three members of the Si Hong Clan appeared, he also tried every means to protect us.”
“The Jianxin Lake test is still very reliable.”
“He has no problems.”
“However, those who took him away were Current Family Head Si Hong Zhen and others.”
“The Floating Light Si Hong Clan, or rather, the Chongming Sect’s disposition, you and I both know.”
“I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a Curse for him to be taken back by his blood relatives this time.”
Fei Su nodded slightly: “I only hope that Si Hongduo is safe and sound and does not fall back into the Demonic Path.”
“With this experience, I plan to continue educating more prisoners…”
Ge Chongti nodded, just about to say something, when suddenly, the distant dome darkened sharply. Terrifying demonic power surged from the depths of the abyss, and all living beings in Due Abyss felt their hearts leap simultaneously, sensing a great disaster and terror descending in the unseen world!
Both of their expressions changed drastically. This aura… something had happened in the "Tian" Zone!
They immediately disregarded everything else and instantly activated their respective tokens. Huge bells emerged from the Void Realm, ringing urgently, urging all "Xuan" Character District guards to quickly retreat towards the "Huang" Zone.
If the changes were in the "Huang" Zone and the "Xuan" Character District, they could still resolve them.
But the "Tian" Zone and the Di Zone were already beyond their ability to resolve.
Before Wenren Lingse, Director of Doom Crossing Abyss returned, they could only order everyone to stay as far away from the "Tian" Zone as possible!
※ ※ ※
"Huang" Zone.
A blood-red moon hung high, its pale crimson light, like diluted blood, quietly spilled down.
A cold wind howled, and amidst its cries, the clanging sounds of stone quarrying rose and fell, ceaselessly.
Prisoners, each holding a pickaxe and a hammer, were scattered throughout the canyon, diligently quarrying stone.
The news of Wenren Lingse's return had spread throughout Due Abyss.
For the past two days, the entire Due Abyss had been exceptionally well-behaved.
Especially the "Huang" Zone.
After all, they still had a Staff-Wielding Order, Song Zhangzhi.
At this moment, Song Zhangzhi was following behind Nie Biliu, slowly patrolling the entire "Huang" Zone.
Wherever the two went, the prisoners, who had not been slacking off to begin with, dared not be negligent, and the hammering sounds became even more dense.
Nie Biliu calmly watched the scene before him, but his mind was on Dr. Wu.
Although this person had been imprisoned in the "Tian" Zone and was no longer under his jurisdiction, most of the changes in Due Abyss over the past six months were closely related to him.
Ultimately, it was his negligence as the Section Chief of the "Huang" Zone.
Such a dangerous individual had disguised himself in the "Huang" Zone for half a year, yet he had been completely unaware.
Therefore, to prevent a second Dr. Wu from lurking nearby, Nie Biliu had been personally patrolling these past few days, carefully inspecting every prisoner.
As they slowly walked downstream along the underground river, Si Hong Miaoli, who was beside them, suddenly transmitted a message: “Section Chief, how is Dr. Wu doing now?”
That day, the Saint publicly attacked Wenren Lingse, which gave her a big scare.
But not long after, she heard that the Saint had been personally imprisoned in the "Tian" Zone by Wenren Lingse, and she roughly understood the Saint’s purpose…
The Saint’s true mission this time was likely related to the "Tian" Zone!
It was very possible that he was there to rescue a Grand Elder of the Saint Sect…
Nie Biliu said, “I’m not too sure. I heard from Wenren Lingse, Director of Doom Crossing Abyss that he’s a tough nut to crack. Si Yuan personally tortured him, but after more than two hours, and changing torture instruments one after another, that Dr. Wu didn’t even bat an eyelid.”
“Ordinary torture methods can’t get anything out of him.”
Upon hearing this, Si Hong Miaoli was not surprised in the slightest.
Pei Ling was not a disciple of the Saint Sect’s three great aristocratic families, yet he was able to rise above Su Zhenhe and ultimately become the Saint. How could he be compared to an ordinary person?
Without such a resilient Heart-Nature, even with talent, how could he have his current status?
Let alone being entrusted with such an important task by the Saint Sect.
With her thoughts turning, Si Hong Miaoli continued, “I heard that Soul Transformation Cultivators can only last three days at most in the "Tian" Zone. Now that three days have passed, is Wenren Lingse, Director of Doom Crossing Abyss preparing to release Dr. Wu?”
“It’s just that the Di Zone couldn’t hold him before, so I don’t know how Wenren Lingse, Director of Doom Crossing Abyss plans to arrange this person?”
Nie Biliu shook his head slightly. Wenren Lingse, Director of Doom Crossing Abyss was not in Due Abyss now, and he didn't know Si Yuan's plans...
As the two were speaking, they turned around a rock wall, and suddenly, they felt the dome behind them abruptly darken, as if the high-hanging blood moon had suddenly fallen.
Demonic might surged, instantly roaring in all directions!
A gloomy, vast voice echoed throughout Due Abyss: “Senior, why are you in such a hurry?”
Chapter 933: Destroying the Lotus Demon. (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
Nie Biliu and Si Hong Miaoli's expressions both changed, and they suddenly turned their heads to look in the direction of the "Tian" Zone.
A massive and majestic Demonic Hand rapidly extended from beneath the abyss, grabbing downwards as if to cover the sky and block out the sun!
The Demonic Hand was entirely blackish-green, shrouded in dense Evil Qi and Devilish Qi. The moment it appeared, a terrifying pressure caused both of them to feel a sudden heart-pounding fear, almost making them want to turn and flee.
With his mind violently shaking, Nie Biliu, a Soul Transformation Cultivator, was the first to recover and immediately exclaimed, "Extinguish Lotus Old Demon!"
Si Hong Miaoli's magical power quickly circulated once, barely dispelling the shock. She was secretly alarmed, thinking, 'As expected of the Saint, what a grand gesture!'
Nie Biliu immediately said, "Retreat quickly! Enter the grand Formation, go to the side of the Teleportation Formation."
"The location of the Teleportation Formation is the most heavily protected area of the grand Formation… Wait for Wenren Lingse, Director of Doom Crossing Abyss to return!"
Si Hong Miaoli nodded, without any unnecessary words, and immediately cast a Escape to follow the Section Chief's steps.
※ ※ ※
“Tian” Zone.
At the edge of the abyss, as soon as Pei Ling and Mo Li Lan stepped onto the ground, a huge Demonic Hand reached out to grab them.
Mo Li Lan's figure suddenly flickered, as fast as lightning, carrying Pei Ling instantly across the Di Zone and the "Xuan" Character District, appearing in the "Huang" Zone.
Seeing this, Pei Ling was startled. He thought, 'I'm not operating the Eclipse Sun Secret Record right now, and I directly left the "Tian" Zone, yet I wasn't affected by the disciplinary backlash?!'
Boom!!!
At this moment, an earth-shattering roar came from a distance behind them.
As the smoke and dust dispersed, Pei Ling seemed to realize something: the location they had just been in had already collapsed and cracked, with its terrain transformed by the grab of the Demonic Hand.
He immediately recovered his senses and quickly transmitted a question, "What's going on?"
Mo Li Lan replied indifferently, "Just absorbed some Law power."
Absorbed Law power?
Pei Ling immediately frowned. The disciplines of Due Abyss were constructed from Law power.
Now that the Fallen Immortal Will had absorbed Law power… no wonder that prisoner from the lowest level of the "Tian" Zone could break free!
As the two spoke, the Demonic Hand roared into the sky, accompanied by a rapidly spreading giant shadow, and grabbed at them once more.
At the same time, several vast and immense Qi rose from the "Tian" Zone and the Di Zone, one after another.
Crack, crack, crack…
At this moment, countless chains broke in these two areas.
"Hahahaha…" The commotion alerted everyone, and bursts of wild laughter rose one after another.
Most of the prisoners began to attack their restraints desperately, attempting to regain their freedom.
Boom, boom, boom…
The "Tian" Zone and the Di Zone fell into chaos, while in the "Huang" Zone, Mo Li Lan led Pei Ling, dodging left and right, continuously avoiding the Demonic Hand's attacks.
Pei Ling's brow gradually furrowed. The prisoners in the "Tian" Zone were about to break free. He could hide in the Little Free Heaven to seek refuge right now, but the other Cultivators of Due Abyss, especially Si Hong Miaoli, who was still his subordinate…
Just as he was thinking, a majestic and domineering aura suddenly descended.
Immediately, a cold voice echoed throughout the entire dome: "Extinguish Lotus Old Demon, don't be presumptuous! All prisoners, whoever dares to act rashly, die!!!"
Hearing this voice, all living beings in Due Abyss immediately knew that Wenren Lingse had returned!
The next moment, a gigantic halberd, like a mountain, roared out and smashed towards the Demonic Hand in mid-air.
Boom!!!
The halberd and palm met, emitting a terrifying impact. The entire Due Abyss shook violently. On the ground, all the canyons, underground rivers, and rock walls, like fragile pastries, had no resistance whatsoever. They rippled like water in circles, yet instantly shattered into dust.
Many unlucky prisoners in the "Xuan" Character District and the "Huang" Zone were caught in it, not even having time to scream.
The protective Formation of the two areas shook rapidly, flickering several times before barely holding on.
In mid-air, Wenren Lingse's figure appeared out of nowhere. Her gaze swept around, immediately locking onto Pei Ling and Mo Li Lan.
Pei Ling's mind stirred, and the Void Heaven Realm Seed had already appeared in his palm, ready to be activated at any moment.
As for Mo Li Lan, her expression was calm. Although she was looking up at Wenren Lingse, her gaze conveyed a strong sense of condescension.
Wenren Lingse's expression was grave. This Dr. Wu, imprisoned in the "Tian" Zone, could actually escape!
And that Su Zhentian female cultivator…
After thinking rapidly, she didn't have time to deal with the two of them for now. The most important thing at the moment was to first resolve the anomaly in the "Tian" Zone!
Thinking of this, Wenren Lingse decisively abandoned Pei Ling and Mo Li Lan and immediately fled towards the "Tian" Zone.
In a moment, she appeared above the "Tian" Zone, and her heart immediately sank.
The disciplines of Due Abyss had become so weak within three days!
At this moment, not only the Extinguish Lotus Old Demon in the lowest cave, but also many other prisoners, were desperately attacking their restraints, disregarding the suppression and punishment of the remaining disciplines, even resorting to self-mutilation.
Wenren Lingse immediately held her halberd and plunged into the abyss.
Boom, boom, boom…
The powerful impact caused the mist pillars formed by the Earth Evil Qi to also become distorted and chaotic.
The Evil Qi rain stopped and fell intermittently. Amidst the continuous terrifying vibrations, the weather in the entire "Tian" Zone changed rapidly.
Before long, a deep, vast voice sounded again: "Wenren junior, Warden is not here today, no one can stop this one from leaving this place!"
Boom!!!
Accompanied by the arrogant declaration, a figure escaped from the bottom of the abyss, it was Wenren Lingse.
Her face was ashen, her expression grave. It wasn't just that the Extinguish Lotus Old Demon was about to break free from the restraints of the "Tian" Zone.
Now that the disciplines were weakened, those high-level prisoners in the "Tian" Zone and the Di Zone were all on the verge of breaking free.
She alone, even if she risked her life, could not stop all the prisoners!
Wenren Lingse immediately returned to the "Huang" Zone without any hesitation.
At this time, Nie Biliu and Si Hong Miaoli had already gathered all the Section Chief and Zhi zhi, all assembled by the Teleportation Formation.
Not only in the "Huang" Zone, but also Fei Su and Ge Chongti from the "Xuan" Character District, as well as many Section Chief and Zhi zhi, had come here to seek refuge after realizing the situation was not good.
Space fluctuated, revealing Wenren Lingse's figure.
Nie Biliu and the others immediately stepped forward to salute: "Wenren Lingse, Director of Doom Crossing Abyss, over in the 'Tian' Zone…"
Before they could finish speaking, Wenren Lingse directly ordered, "Everyone, leave Due Abyss immediately!"
Saying that, without giving everyone time to react, she directly made a move. Her sleeves swept past, and everyone was sent into the Teleportation Formation, then she activated the Formation.
A brilliant white light illuminated, and in an instant, everyone was teleported away.
Wenren Lingse's Divine Thought quickly swept across the entire Due Abyss, confirming that no Section Chief or Zhi zhi had been missed, then she directly struck, sending a palm towards the Teleportation Formation!
Boom!!!
The Teleportation Formation, protected by layers of defenses, even when struck head-on by a Dao Integration Stage Cultivator from within the defenses, was only half destroyed, but it was already unusable.
Wenren Lingse, however, continued to strike, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…
Palm strikes continuously fell. In a moment, the entire Teleportation Formation was completely annihilated, not a single trace of any rune was left.
Immediately after, her figure flickered, appearing by Jianxin Lake.
She took out her halberd and once again attacked Jianxin Lake…
Boom, boom, boom…
In a moment, Jianxin Lake became a ruin, with not a single drop of water remaining.
Then came the storeroom…
Before long, Wenren Lingse had completely destroyed all the guarded areas of Due Abyss.
What met her eyes were shattered walls and ruins, without any resources or exits. She reached out, and in the Void Realm, a blood-colored banner slowly appeared.
Remember to vote after reading!
Please give me monthly votes! Please give me monthly votes!
Chapter 934 No One Can Leave! (First Update! Please Subscribe!)
This banner was the color of fresh blood, with dark black embroidery on all sides, emblazoned with numerous fish-dragon and water-algae-like runes.
The runes slowly moved as if alive, emanating waves of Evil Qi like a military formation, and as it flapped in the wind, a solemn Aura immediately spread out.
In the center of the banner, a massive “Zhu” character was written by an unknown hand. Unlike the sinister, bloody Evil Qi of the Demonic Path, it glowed with circulating treasure light, yet was filled with a majestic Righteous Path Aura, causing evil beings to feel fear before they even drew near.
It was precisely the Magic Treasure of Due Abyss, the Evil Subjugation Banner!
At this moment, a tall, burly figure, wreathed in Evil Qi, shot up from the “Tian” Zone.
Several chains faithfully bound his body, but as he charged, with several clicks and cracks, the last three chains also broke unwillingly.
At this moment, the figure's Aura reached its Peak.
“Hahahahahaha…” Wild, unrestrained laughter instantly spread throughout the entire Due Abyss.
Following closely were a second figure, a third figure…
In just the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, dozens of prisoners had broken free from both the “Tian” Zone and the “Earth” Zone.
The numerous prisoners stood in the air, their gazes all focused on Wenren Lingse.
The first figure to break free, also from the bottom cave of the “Tian” Zone, asked faintly, “Wenren Lingse, do you have any last words?”
Wenren Lingse’s expression was calm. She held a halberd in one hand and the Zhue Flag in the other, and coldly replied, “Today, none of you will leave Due Abyss!”
Upon hearing this, Mielian smiled slightly, just about to speak, but very quickly, he frowned and swiftly shifted his gaze to a certain direction behind Wenren Lingse.
The exit of Due Abyss had disappeared?!
He immediately said, “You destroyed all the exits?”
Wenren Lingse’s gaze swept over the many escaped prisoners, and she calmly said, “That’s right! Back then, Due Abyss was designed with only two exits precisely to prevent a situation like this.”
“Now, all passages between Due Abyss and the outside world have ceased to exist.”
“Even if you are no longer bound by the precepts, you shouldn't even think of leaving this place by half a step!”
Suddenly, a pale-faced, raggedly dressed Demonic Cultivator standing not far from Mielian said coldly, “Due Abyss is underground.”
“If there are no exits, we will carve a way out.”
“Once we return to the surface, we will settle accounts properly with the Pseudo-Dao!”
“At that time, Yanxi City will be the first to be annihilated!”
“Don’t waste time.” A feminine-looking Demonic Cultivator with a masculine appearance spoke faintly, “First, deal with Wenren Lingse. Si Yuan has already returned, and we don’t know when Warden will be able to get away and return.”
These words reminded everyone. Thinking of Warden, all the escaped prisoners from the “Tian” Zone dared not delay. A red-haired Demonic Cultivator immediately shouted, “Attack!”
Before his voice fell, a group of Devil Heads immediately charged at Wenren Lingse.
In an instant, chilling winds rose, and the shrill screams of vengeful spirits echoed throughout the entire Due Abyss.
Above the dome, the blood moon used for illumination suddenly became obscured.
Violent strikes of palms, fists, and legs all assailed Wenren Lingse.
Wenren Lingse’s clear eyes reflected the overwhelming offensive, yet she sneered without a word, advancing instead of retreating. Her halberd and the Evil Subjugation Banner danced in unison, already prepared for a desperate fight.
But the next moment…
A gentle clear light suddenly surged up!
Boom, boom, boom…
The attacks of the many Devil Heads were all intercepted by the Righteous Path prisoners who had escaped from the “Earth” Zone.
The leader looked like a middle-aged man, his appearance resolute and heroic, exuding an intimidating Aura without anger. He turned his head to Wenren Lingse and said in a deep voice, “This old man is Yuan Changzhen, once the Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince of the Liulan Dynasty.”
“Little friend Wénrén, do not worry.”
“Although we have made mistakes and were imprisoned in Due Abyss, we are ultimately from the Righteous Path.”
“With us here, we will never allow these Devil Heads to act recklessly!”
Wenren Lingse was startled, and after realizing what was happening, she simply said, “Thank you.”
Seeing this scene, the effeminate Demonic Cultivator crossed his arms, and with a mocking tone, said, “Hehehe… How touching, this camaraderie?”
The red-haired Demonic Cultivator chuckled, “Pseudo-Dao running dogs… Dogs will always be dogs!”
Mielian turned his head, and seeing this, the other Demonic Cultivator prisoners immediately fell silent. They heard him say faintly, “Everyone has been imprisoned in Due Abyss for so long. You Pseudo-Dao, do you not think you have been imprisoned long enough?”
Yuan Changzhen did not answer the question but looked at Wenren Lingse and slowly continued, “Little friend Wénrén, we will help you drive these Devil Heads back into the abyss and imprison them in the ‘Tian’ Zone.”
“However, by our reckoning, it has been many years since we left our Sects.”
“Many old friends are already in their twilight years.”
“In another three to five hundred years, I fear we will be separated by Yin and Yang.”
“Therefore, I wish to return for a visit, to brew tea under the plum blossoms, drink wine by the mulberry tree, and fulfill the promises we made together in our youth, which would be considered fulfilling a wish.”
“But I wonder, is there any other way to leave this Due Abyss?”
As his voice fell, all the escaped Righteous Path prisoners from the “Earth” Zone looked at Wenren Lingse.
On the Demonic Path side, having just prepared to fight the Righteous Path prisoners, upon hearing these words, they all revealed expressions of amusement, then dispelled the spells they were brewing, and settled in to watch the show.
Wenren Lingse’s expression turned slightly cold, and she immediately said loudly, “There are only two ways to leave Due Abyss.”
“First, through the teleportation array protected by the precepts. This array can only be used by the guardians of Due Abyss.”
“Second, through Jianxin Lake!”
“But now, both the teleportation array and Jianxin Lake have been destroyed by me.”
“There will no longer be any path to leave Due Abyss.”
“Whether you help me or not, none of you can leave this place!”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Changzhen and the others’ expressions immediately turned cold.
They were different from those prisoners of the Demonic Path; they were once Wenren Lingse’s comrades, some even from the same Sect.
Even though they committed crimes and were brought here.
But they all had reasons; they were not utterly wicked, incorrigible individuals.
For example, Yuan Changzhen was a victim of the Yao Race secretly preying on the Human Race during the Liulan Dynasty’s incident that year (Note: See Volume 2, Chapter 148: Righteous Path Cultivation Technique is still good…). Both of his parents were secretly hunted by the Yao Race.
Although the Imperial Dynasty, after investigating the truth, executed all the man-eating Yao Race, and the Yao Race also compensated them, the Imperial Court quickly reformulated rules, and ultimately, all parties settled the matter in a way that appeared relatively fair to outsiders.
But Yuan Changzhen always found it difficult to let go of his childhood experiences. After he came of age, he still harbored an extremely strong hatred for the entire Yao Race.
After diligent study and arduous Cultivation, he was able to enter the Imperial Court in his youth. From then on, in public, he was a self-reliant official of the Imperial Dynasty with a promising future; in private, he disguised himself as a Demonic Cultivator, wantonly slaughtering and torturing the Yao Race.
Because he always presented himself as magnanimous and open-minded, and ascended rapidly in his official career, this act was only discovered a hundred years later.
The number of Yao Race members who died at Yuan Changzhen’s hands was already countless, among them, there was even a Yao Race member who entered the palace as a concubine.
For this matter, he was guilty, and he admitted it!
However, from a displaced orphan to the Grand Tutor who instructed the Royal’s heir, during this period, he also rendered great service to the Imperial Dynasty.
He also sought many benefits for the common people.
He also toiled day and night for the nation.
Compared to the laws he violated, being imprisoned for so many years was already making a mountain out of a molehill!
Now, after being imprisoned for so many years, it's still not enough? At this moment, seeing Wenren Lingse in trouble, they kindly offered to help, but they are still to be imprisoned here for a lifetime?!
Hmph!
This Due Abyss is simply overcorrecting, not treating them as Human Race!
With thoughts racing, Yuan Changzhen said coldly, “Little friend Wénrén, this old man can give you another chance.”
Wenren Lingse replied simply, “No need!”
Yuan Changzhen’s gaze instantly became incomparably cold.

"Huang" Zone.
Underground space.
Vacuum Spirit Transformation Array.
Pei Ling and Mo Li Lan's figures suddenly appeared. He immediately took out the sound transmission talisman he used to contact Si Hong Miaoli.
The great change in Due Abyss meant time was pressing. Regardless of whether Wenren Lingse could hold Due Abyss, Si Hong Miaoli had to leave immediately!
Unlike him, Si Hong Miaoli's identity was a Staff-Wielding Order, so leaving this place by finding any suitable excuse would be very simple.
Thinking of this, Pei Ling released his magical power and activated the sound transmission talisman.
However, after waiting for a long time, the sound transmission talisman showed no reaction.
He frowned, then realized that this was because the distance between them was too great, causing the sound transmission talisman to fail!
However, Si Hong Miaoli was the Staff-Wielding Order of the "Huang" Zone and would not easily leave the "Huang" Zone. Since he was currently in the underground of the "Huang" Zone, for this situation to occur... had the other party already left Due Abyss?
Realizing this, Pei Ling immediately put away the sound transmission talisman and said to Mo Li Lan, "This place is not suitable for long stays. We need to leave quickly."
Mo Li Lan, upon hearing this, slightly shook her head: "You go alone. I still have things to do."
Pei Ling nodded, said nothing more, and directly activated the 【Eclipse Sun Secret Record】, transforming back into Warden's appearance.
The uncertainty of System hosting was too great. In critical moments like this, it was best not to use System hosting; leaving directly as Warden would suffice!
The next moment, he used 【Five Ghost Sky Net Escape】 and returned to the surface.
At this very moment, above the dome, Wenren Lingse, with a halberd in one hand and a banner in the other, was confronting the many prisoners from the "Tian" Zone and Di Zone from a distance.
Pei Ling ignored this scene, concealed his figure, and headed directly towards the teleportation array through which he had initially entered Due Abyss.
Soon, he arrived at the location, only to find it a scene of shattered walls and broken ruins.
The surroundings were crowded with prisoners from the "Huang" Zone, who evidently also wanted to leave through the teleportation array.
At this moment, everyone's expression was solemn, and the atmosphere was anxious.
"The teleportation array... where is the teleportation array?"
"It's right underfoot, it's been destroyed."
"The teleportation array has actually been destroyed, so how do we get out now?!"
"This isn't good. If we escape now and get caught again after going out..."
"Are you stupid? Once Wenren Lingse, Director of Doom Crossing Abyss and those existences from the 'Tian' Zone and 'Earth' Zone start fighting, regardless of who wins or loses, can you and I withstand the aftermath of the battle alone?!"
"We need to quickly find a way... Right! Besides the teleportation array, there's also Jianxin Lake!"
"To Jianxin Lake!"
They reminded each other and immediately rushed towards Jianxin Lake.
Listening to this discussion, Pei Ling gradually frowned.
His Divine Thought quickly swept across the entire "Huang" Zone and soon discovered that only prisoners remained; all the Section Chief and Staff-Wielding Orders had disappeared!
Pei Ling immediately had a bad premonition. He instantly fled towards Jianxin Lake.
In a moment, his figure appeared by Jianxin Lake, only to see that the originally sparkling lake was long gone, replaced by a fresh ruin.
"Jianxin Lake has also been destroyed!!!" At this moment, other prisoners also arrived one after another. Seeing this scene, they all showed despair, "Both exits of Due Abyss are gone now!"
"What do we do?!"
"This must all be Wenren Lingse's doing! Kill her!!!"
"With what can we kill? That's a Dao Integration stage Cultivator!"
"Young Master Ren, you are a high disciple of the Heavenly Born Sect. Those existences in the 'Tian' Zone, I just caught a glimpse, some seemed to be wearing white robes. Could they be Seniors from your sect? If so, I am willing to be your lackey..."
"Fellow Daoist Meng, Wenren Lingse, Director of Doom Crossing Abyss and those existences in the 'Earth' Zone are your fellow disciples. I hope Fellow Daoist can offer some protection..."
"Grandma Zhu, you have the Azure Billow Bloodline. Is that great Yao in the 'Tian' Zone related to you...?"
Ren Jin, Meng Nanlou, and Zhu Ming'e were instantly surrounded. Everyone spoke words of pleading, but their eyes revealed fierce glints, clearly showing they would not allow refusal.
The three of them looked solemn and nodded in promise: "Good! As long as you sincerely work for this Young Master, this Young Master will naturally inform the Old Ancestor and protect you."
"We Righteous Path Cultivators will never kill innocents indiscriminately, so don't worry."
"Hmph! The Human Race has occupied the most fertile land in this world. Our Yao Race relies entirely on Your Majesty the Yao Emperor to live in peace in a corner. From now on, all Yao Race members are one family. You just need to stay here well!"
As they spoke, the three of them continuously exchanged Divine Thought: "Meng Nanlou, you are a Righteous Path successor. Will Wenren Lingse, Director of Doom Crossing Abyss and the existences in the 'Earth' Zone truly protect us?"
Meng Nanlou coldly replied: "If Wenren Lingse, Director of Doom Crossing Abyss has the ability, she would naturally protect us, but you two don't even look! Although Si Yuan is a Dao Integration stage Cultivator, how many Return to Void and Dao Integration stage Cultivators are there in the 'Tian' Zone alone?!"
"Si Yuan can barely take care of herself, how could she possibly manage us!"
"As for the Seniors in the 'Earth' Zone, hehe, didn't you hear them asking Si Yuan about the exit?"
"No one can take care of us. Seek your own blessings."
"But what about you two? The Heavenly Born Sect determines status by birth, and the Yao Race has always been united against common enemies. Can't you rely on them now?"
Ren Jin replied indifferently: "The Holy Sect determines status by birth, yet there are also quite a few in the sect whose birth is similar to mine, or even more noble. Otherwise, why would they let me stay here for so many years?"
"If my Senior is at leisure and in a good mood, and I ask for help, I might receive some pity."
"Otherwise, rushing forward rashly, not being slapped to death by a single palm would be considered extremely lucky."
"With a great battle imminent, going there is just seeking death!"
As the two spoke, they both looked at Zhu Ming'e. Zhu Ming'e's mouth twitched, and she quickly transmitted: "I have an impression of that Azure Billow Senior. The reason he was imprisoned was because of his Bloodline Divine Ability; to recover quickly after being injured, he devoured many Human Race and Yao Race members... We'd best stay far away from him!"
...Seeing this scene, Pei Ling's face immediately darkened. He instantly understood that Wenren Lingse, knowing she couldn't suppress all the prisoners, had sent all the guards away in advance, and then destroyed all the exits of Due Abyss!
He looked down at the Void Heaven Realm Seed in his hand. Wenren Lingse destroying all the exits must mean she was prepared to fight to the death with the prisoners from the "Tian" Zone and Di Zone.
Since he couldn't leave Due Abyss now, he could only first go to "Little Free Heaven" to hide.
Of course, his Incarnation was still in Due Abyss, but the Incarnation was currently controlled by the Fallen Immortal Will and had no intention of leaving for the time being. Moreover, Master Medicine Immortal was still sleeping in "Little Free Heaven," and he wasn't entirely at ease with the Fallen Immortal Will...
Thinking of this, Pei Ling's mind stirred, and he immediately activated this last Void Heaven Realm Seed.
The Void Heaven Realm Seed immediately lit up with a hazy clear light, but the light flickered several times, as if encountering some invisible obstruction. In a moment, its light dimmed, and Pei Ling remained standing in place.
Seeing that the Void Heaven Realm Seed failed to open the passage to "Little Free Heaven," Pei Ling immediately frowned deeply.
The last time the Void Heaven Realm Seed failed was in the Fallen Immortal Dream Realm.
And this time...
Due Abyss, being able to imprison so many terrifyingly powerful prisoners, and with no one ever having escaped to this day, was indeed no ordinary place!
So, what now?
After a brief hesitation, Pei Ling took a deep breath and immediately decided to take a risky gamble, flying directly into the air!
Remember to vote after reading!
Come back to read on the third and fourth nights.
Chapter 936 I can't leave you alone!
At this moment, Wenren Lingse stood alone in the air.
Her short hair fluttered, its ends whipping in the wind, brushing against her delicate, cold eyes. Her gaze was like the stars before dawn on a winter night, filled with the tranquility and resolve of someone whose mind was already made up.
In her hands, a banner in her left and a halberd in her right, an Aura of 肅殺 rose with a roar.
Facing her from afar, the Demonic Path cultivators, though each clad in worn, even tattered, garments and looking haggard and disheveled, could not conceal the imposing Aura of their past, when they once swept across the land with their monstrous might. At this moment, their killing intent was towering, and their Evil Qi was immense.
As for Yuan Changzhen and the others who had just blocked the Demonic Cultivators' attacks, their Auras were all incredibly profound, with clear light swirling around them, and their magical power surging like a vast ocean. In terms of strength, they were not much weaker than the Demonic Path, but now, their gazes towards her were equally icy cold.
The three sides fell into a brief silence, the atmosphere like a bowstring pulled to its extreme, capable of snapping at any moment.
However, just as a great battle was about to erupt, an aged voice spread throughout the entire Due Abyss: "Who dares to act so presumptuously in my Due Abyss?!"
Before the words had faded, an old man with white hair and beard and a pure Aura suddenly flew to Wenren Lingse's side.
There were no cultivation fluctuations around him, as if he were merely a Mortal, yet his face was upright and dignified, inspiring awe without anger. His entire being exuded a righteous Aura, making it clear at a glance that he was a highly respected elder among the Five Righteous Sects.
Warden?!
The prisoners in the "Tian" Zone and Di Zone all changed their expressions!
In an instant, an unknown number of vast, terrifying Divine Thoughts swept over "Warden." They vaguely felt that something was not quite right, but whether it was his Aura, appearance, or any other aspect, the newcomer was identical to the real Warden!
Immediately, many prisoners hesitated.
Seeing this, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon snorted coldly. If it had been before they broke free from their restraints, Warden could indeed have suppressed all of them by himself.
But now, so many prisoners had regained their freedom, and even with Warden present, he could not stop them!
Thinking of this, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon was about to act directly, but then Warden's voice suddenly reached his ears: "Senior, please cooperate."
At the same time, Yuan Changzhen also heard Warden's voice transmission: "Cooperate, let's all go out together!"
The two were startled and had not yet reacted when they saw "Warden" turn to Wenren Lingse, then immediately ordered: "Lingse, leave this place to me. You must leave quickly!"
Wenren Lingse stood in the air and gave him a cold glance. Without a word, she decisively activated the Evil Slaying Banner. Crimson waves surged forth, and the blood moon in the sky shone brightly. In an instant, the entire Due Abyss seemed to be stained with blood. The remaining Law power was drawn, and a vast Aura of confinement and sealing spread, like layers of overlapping mountains, pressing down on the prisoners in the "Tian" Zone and Di Zone.
The moment she attacked, she shouted in a cold voice: "Today, no one here shall leave!"
"Even if Senior Warden is here, there will be no exception!"
Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Pei Ling immediately used the Five Ghost Sky Net Escape without any hesitation, instantly fleeing far away.
Seeing this scene, the prisoners in the "Tian" Zone and Di Zone immediately realized that the Warden from before was fake!
That kid was most likely the Soul Transformation junior who was escorted into the "Tian" Zone a few days ago!
Yuan Changzhen's heart stirred, and he immediately shouted: "How audacious! With Warden present, how dare a mere Si Yuan not obey quickly?!"
As he spoke, he had already attacked, striking a palm towards Wenren Lingse.
The Demonic Path side also burst into laughter: "Due Abyss is controlled by Warden, and now Warden has spoken! Wenren Si Yuan, why aren't you quickly finding the exit! Do you intend to defy a superior's order?!"
"Or are you discontent with your position as Si Yuan, and trying to usurp authority and plot mischief?!"
Before he finished speaking, many Demonic Cultivators had already attacked in unison. Demonic flames surged, and an ominous wind roared. Countless Divine Abilities blasted towards Wenren Lingse.
Wenren Lingse ignored all attacks. She continued to wave the Evil Slaying Banner, and as soon as any spell or Divine Ability approached her, it was swept away by the Evil Slaying Banner!
At the same time, a powerful shockwave vibrated throughout the entire Due Abyss. The canyons, rock walls, and underground rivers on the ground all rippled out like water.
The prisoners in the "Huang" Zone and "Xuan" Character District were currently gathered at the old teleportation array site and the Jianxin Lake ruins, desperately trying to stay away from the battlefield, yet they still could not escape the collateral damage, and immediately let out cries of agony one after another.
The previously gathered crowd instantly scattered and fled, like small wooden boats in a stormy sea, their lives hanging by a thread...
Amidst the earth-shattering roar, the blood moon let out a mournful cry, swaying precariously. From the dome above, continuous cracking sounds reverberated, and massive cracks appeared one after another.
The entire Due Abyss seemed as if it could collapse at any moment...
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
***
"Huang" Zone.
Underground.
Vacuum Spirit Transformation Array.
Within the entire Formation, the darkness was thick and viscous like a physical substance. Mo Li Lan sat in the center, her eyes tightly closed, continuously forming intricate hand seals, like a double-petaled flower, constantly opening and closing.
At the same time, a strange power swirled around her, indescribable, ungraspable, elusive, sometimes close, sometimes distant, sometimes strong, sometimes weak.
Suddenly, a flash of light, and Pei Ling's figure appeared within the Formation.
Mo Li Lan sensed him, her delicate brows immediately furrowed, and she asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"
Pei Ling's expression stiffened, then he calmly replied, "I can't leave you here alone, so I plan to take you with me."
He should have thought of it earlier!
Besides the teleportation array and Jianxin Lake, which had already been destroyed by Wenren Lingse, and the System's automated operation, there was also the Fallen Immortal Will as a way to leave Due Abyss.
Her true form was an Immortal, so this Due Abyss would definitely not be able to trap her!
Mo Li Lan was slightly startled upon hearing this, then snorted coldly and said, "No need. You can go by yourself, don't bother me."
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling frowned. If he could leave, would he have come back for her?
After a moment's thought, he immediately said, "No! This Due Abyss is hidden deep underground and has been managed by the Five Righteous Sects for many years, with countless methods set up. Now that the exit is destroyed, it won't be easy to get out."
"I, Pei Ling, always keep my word. Since I promised to help Immortal Friend's true form awaken, I must accomplish it!"
"How can I abandon you now?"
"If we go, we go together! I won't leave you alone!"
Mo Li Lan listened, then looked at him in confusion, and said, "Underground? Immortal Friend Pei, why do you think this place is underground?"
Huh?
That Due Abyss is located deep underground, isn't that common knowledge?
Pei Ling was first startled, but quickly reacted, and immediately asked calmly, "Then, Immortal Friend Mo, where do you think this place is?"
Mo Li Lan replied indifferently, "Of course, it's the Yu Wai Void."
Chapter 937: Burn Together. (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
"Huang" Zone.
Screams, sounds of fleeing, cries for help, pleas... rapidly weakened, and the surviving prisoners suddenly collapsed one by one, quickly falling into a deep sleep.
Around each sleeping prisoner, a layer of darkness, as if substantial, gradually permeated.
Soon, centered around the ruins of Jianxin Lake and the old site of the teleportation array, the entire ground began to emit a thick, pitch-black fog. This viscous mist grew denser and denser, quietly spreading throughout the entire Due Abyss...
At this moment, the battle was in full swing, and this scene did not attract anyone's attention in mid-air.
Boom, boom, boom...
Countless signature spells and Divine Abilities from both the righteous and demonic paths blasted towards Wenren Lingse, yet they were all swept away by the fluttering of the Evil Subjugation Banner!
This was Due Abyss's trump card Magic Treasure; almost all the disciplines here were controlled by this treasure.
Its power could be compared to the Nine Great Sects' sect-guarding Magic Treasures.
However, the strength of the prisoners in the "Tian" Zone was truly terrifying. Wenren Lingse, fighting alone against many, even with such a Magic Treasure in hand, found her mana rapidly depleting at an astonishing rate.
Suddenly, while Extinguish Lotus Old Demon's figure remained motionless, another identical Extinguish Lotus Old Demon abruptly emerged from the Void Realm not far behind Wenren Lingse, raised a palm, and solidly struck her back.
Boom!!!
Wenren Lingse immediately resembled a kite with a broken string, struck from the sky of the "Tian" Zone and plummeting into the ground of the "Xuan" Character District.
After a loud bang, a deep pit appeared precisely where the rock wall ruins had been in the "Xuan" Character District.
The next moment, Wenren Lingse quickly rose from the bottom of the pit, spitting out a mouthful of pitch-black blood. Her face instantly turned incredibly pale, but her Aura, instead of diminishing, intensified.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Countless spells and Divine Abilities, like a torrential storm, howled as they blasted into the pit, clearly intending to make this deep pit her burial ground.
Wenren Lingse remained silent, continuing to wield the Evil Subjugation Banner. The blood-colored banner fluttered, its terrifying power continuously blocking all attacks.
However, at this moment, as a spiritual fire barely touched the banner's surface, a speck of clear light suddenly separated. Like a swimming fish, it deftly turned, avoiding the Evil Subjugation Banner, and spun around with incredible speed, revealing its true form: a Flying Sword about a foot long, its sharp edge fully exposed, gleaming with cold light, and it fiercely pierced Wenren Lingse's abdomen!
Puff!
The clear sound of a blade entering a body rang out. Wenren Lingse spat out another mouthful of blood, which trickled down her frost-like chin, staining the soft armor on her chest, appearing exceptionally tragic and beautiful.
However, her expression remained cold, without the slightest change. Her mana circulated rapidly, erupting with a roar, and accompanied by a spray of fresh blood, she forcefully expelled the Flying Sword.
Boom, boom, boom...
The rampant spells and Divine Abilities seemed endless.
In just a short while, Wenren Lingse was already covered in wounds, even gaining a deep, bone-visible cut on the side of her neck.
She accumulated more and more injuries, and her wounds became increasingly severe, yet her Aura grew stronger and stronger.
Finally, in the deep pit where Wenren Lingse was, warm blood had already risen above her ankles, and her injuries had reached a critical, near-death state.
At this moment, her Aura reached its peak.
The slender hand holding the Evil Subjugation Banner had long since lost all color, now hanging limply. Wenren Lingse gathered all her current strength, pouring the solitary courage and determination of fighting numerous prisoners alone into the halberd in her right hand, which she had not yet used.
Then, she threw it fiercely upwards!
The halberd let out a mournful cry, and as it whistled, it had already broken through the Void Realm.
Like a shooting star, it burned as it streaked across the sky, its momentary illumination also a farewell, carrying an unstoppable momentum as it shot towards the dome.
The numerous prisoners all knew that this was Wenren Lingse's dying counterattack, and also the strongest blow of this Dao Integration Stage Cultivator's life, a final burst of light before fading.
Therefore, they had no intention of taking it head-on and dodged it one after another.
The halberd flew straight forward, not touching any prisoner, and instantly struck the already cracked dome of Due Abyss.
Boom!!!
With a loud bang, the already precarious dome instantly shattered, pierced by the halberd, leaving a hole about ten feet in size.
The hole grew larger and larger. "Crack, crack," accompanied by crisp cracking sounds, extending from the original cracks, the entire dome of Due Abyss seemed like an eggshell suddenly subjected to force, crazily cracking.
In the blink of an eye, it expanded to several miles.
And at this moment, the scene of the outside world was revealed through the hole.
A boundless, empty Void Realm where nothing existed, and time and space were indistinguishable.
The air, Evil Qi, sand, gravel, and dark river currents in Due Abyss... everything, as if weightless, rapidly surged into the Void Realm.
The prisoners from the "Tian" Zone and Di Zone, who were originally about to finish off the exhausted Wenren Lingse, all changed their expressions upon seeing this scene.
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon was the first to react, immediately saying coldly, "This isn't underground?!"
Hearing this, everyone's gaze once again focused on Wenren Lingse.
Wenren Lingse propped herself up with the Evil Subjugation Banner, stubbornly refusing to fall, and replied coldly, "Not only is this not underground, but it's not even the Pan Ya World!"
"Warden once said that in this world, nothing is absolute."
"No matter how heavily guarded a prison is, there will always come a day when its flaws are found."
"Warden had already foreseen this scene today."
"Due Abyss is of great importance. Whether it's underground or above ground, any unforeseen change will affect all living beings in the world!"
"Only by exiling it to the Yu Wai Void can we achieve lasting peace!"
"If the disciplines within Due Abyss were still intact, you would still be able to rely on the Law of this place to barely survive."
"But now, the entire Due Abyss is riddled with holes."
"Now that this last layer of protection is broken, the abyss is directly connected to the Void Realm."
"It will be completely destroyed in a few days."
"You have committed many evils and are set in your ways. If you return to the Pan Ya World, you will surely cause Chaos and widespread suffering."
"Therefore, your end shall be death and the fading of your Dao in this Void Realm!"
As she spoke, blood foam continuously gushed from her mouth, and the hole in the dome above continued to expand rapidly.
Before long, in the areas near the hole, space began to distort.
In the direction of the "Huang" Zone, low-level prisoners were irresistibly sucked into the Void Realm.
"Ah!!!"
Piercing screams rang out. These prisoners, who had barely survived the aftermath of the recent battle, had only risen halfway into the air when their Physical Bodies were torn into countless fragments.
As soon as their souls escaped, they too were ground into dust without any struggle, vanishing in an instant.
Blood rained down, revealing the grave expressions of the prisoners from the "Tian" Zone and Di Zone.
No wonder!
The Pan Ya World was only so big. The Demonic Path had been searching for the location of Due Abyss for an unknown number of years, yet they had never even seen a shadow of it.
It turned out that Due Abyss was not underground at all, nor even within the world, but outside the world boundary!
And that endless Evil Qi was not the so-called Earth Evil Qi at all, but rather transformed from Void Gazer Evil Qi.
To keep this secret, the False Path Five Sects even deceived their own people!
At this moment, the hole in the dome grew larger and larger. Not only the "Huang" Zone, but even the prisoners from the "Tian" Zone and Di Zone began to feel a strong tearing sensation in their bodies.
They were not those low-level Cultivators from the "Huang" Zone and "Xuan" Character District. The weakest Cultivators in the field now had the strength of the Returning Void Stage, so resisting the current tearing force was naturally not a problem.
However, once the entire Due Abyss was destroyed, they would have to directly face all the Void Realm tearing forces, Chaos storms, Void Gazer erosion, and spatial turbulence in the Yu Wai Void...

Besides that, this Yu Wai Void was extremely unfamiliar; there were no boundary markers, no Void Realm map… After rashly entering the Void Realm, they couldn't even distinguish up, down, left, right, front, or back!
And there wasn't a speck of Spiritual Qi in the Yu Wai Void. Their fate would be to exhaust their magical power and be trapped to death in the endless Void Realm!
Thinking of this, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon's eyes narrowed slightly. The teleportation array of Due Abyss and Jianxin Lake had been destroyed, leaving not a single rune trace, so the boundary markers could no longer be calculated.
But the Void Realm map… Wenren Lingse, as a Si Yuan second only to Warden in Due Abyss, clearly understood this place very well. The Void Realm map could be obtained from her.
The most important thing now was the issue of magical power…
Poof!
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon suddenly attacked, his claw piercing through the chest of a Returning Void Stage Demonic Cultivator beside him, instantly draining all of the other party's vital blood!
Seeing this, the surrounding prisoners were startled, and then someone angrily said, "Extinguish Lotus Old Demon, what are you doing?!"
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon coldly said, "I've been imprisoned for so long, I just need to replenish some magical power."
Not far away, a bald, barefoot prisoner said in a deep voice, "We still don't know if what Wenren Lingse said is true or false…"
Before he finished speaking, his entire body suddenly trembled. Then, black blood flowed from his seven orifices. With an unwilling expression, he slowly fell, revealing a white-robed figure floating behind him.
Luan Qiaoqing, dressed in snow-white, calmly withdrew his palm.
He was an Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Born Sect. Before he escaped, he had attempted to use his Origin Divine Soul to Possess a low-level Cultivator to escape Due Abyss. Unexpectedly, his Origin Divine Soul was tricked away by a Soul Transformation Stage female Cultivator, leaving his Divine Soul incomplete and his condition particularly poor among those of the same stage.
He looked around at this moment, coldly smiled, and said, "Whether what Wenren Lingse said is true or false, this is not a good place. We really should replenish our magical power in case of need!"
With that, he moved his thoughts and immediately cast a secret technique, extracting all the vital blood and Divine Soul of the bald, barefoot prisoner in front of him. Immediately, his originally pale complexion gained a touch of rosiness.
Amidst the mournful screams, Luan Qiaoqing showed a look of contentment. Immediately after, he casually threw the shriveled corpse, now a dried husk, aside. Before he could even retract his arm, a spray of fresh blood suddenly splattered in front of him.
Luan Qiaoqing's thoughts moved, and the fresh blood instantly burned away, not touching him in the slightest.
He turned his head to look, only to see a gaping maw suddenly open in the Void Realm, biting a prisoner. As flesh and blood splattered, the prisoner, without even having time to scream, immediately used his methods. Dense poisonous thorns suddenly appeared, fiercely stabbing towards the owner of the giant maw.
However, the massive Yao Beast, having revealed its true form, was completely unfazed. Its skin was thick and rough; a full-strength attack from a Returning Void Stage Cultivator did not harm it in the slightest. It unhurriedly chewed and devoured the prisoner bit by bit. The human-sized, stark white teeth still dripped with blood, and its mountain-like head had already turned towards the center of the area.
Its scarlet eyes, as large as houses, greedily swept over all living beings except for Extinguish Lotus Old Demon and a few other prisoners.
At this moment, the lower-Cultivation prisoners finally came to their senses. Their expressions all changed, and they immediately fled in all directions.
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon, as well as Luan Qiaoqing, Azure Billow Great Demon, and other higher-Cultivation beings, all made their moves.
Boom boom boom…
The "Tian" Zone erupted in battle again, but this time, it was no longer against Wenren Lingse, but rather self-slaughter.
The Righteous Path prisoners in the Di Zone watched for a few moments. Suddenly, Yuan Changzhen, who was leading them, extended a hand and pulled a well-hidden Soul Transformation Stage Demonic Cultivator from the "Xuan" Character District. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately placed his palm on the Cultivator's skull, beginning to search his Divine Soul.
"Ah!!!!"
The Soul Transformation Stage Demonic Cultivator instantly let out a horrific scream.
Before long, Yuan Changzhen obtained a decent Demonic Technique. He decisively used the Soul Transformation Stage Demonic Cultivator in his hand for practice, instantly draining all of his vital blood.
Immediately, his entire aura began to become full.
The other Righteous Path prisoners were startled, but soon, a second person made a move, also pulling a prisoner from below…
Righteous Path Cultivation Techniques require abundant Spiritual Qi and various Heaven And Earth Treasure from plants, trees, and mountains. However, Demonic Techniques, in times of crisis, only require blood and Divine Souls!
In the current Due Abyss, Spiritual Qi is scarce, and resources are completely gone. On the contrary, ready-made blood and Divine Souls are everywhere.
Soon, Yuan Changzhen finished his Cultivation, but a Soul Transformation Cultivator as Materials was far from enough for him!
He needed Materials of a higher Cultivation!
Thus, his gaze immediately swept towards a fellow Cultivator beside him…
***
In the "Huang" Zone, underground.
Inside the Vacuum Spirit Transformation Array, Mo Li Lan's hand seal gesture suddenly stopped.
At this instant, the profound aura that had been lingering around her suddenly vanished completely.
It seemed that the price of her performing this technique was to exhaust all the Law power she had just obtained.
"Ding dong! Unfamiliar Immortal Art has been recorded. Please name it, Host…"
Hearing the System prompt that suddenly sounded in his ear, Pei Ling was immediately stunned. Unfamiliar Immortal Art?!
The technique Mo Li Lan had just used was an Immortal Art?
However, why did the System not give a prior prompt for this recording?
Thinking, Pei Ling quickly reacted. Mo Li Lan was his Incarnation now. The technique she used did not come from the "outside"!
Just like the Bone Forging Art he had mastered before activating the System, the System directly recorded it from his mind without giving any prompts…
Realizing this, Pei Ling shifted his body and moved even closer to Mo Li Lan.
Due Abyss was extremely dangerous now. He would only be safer staying by the side of this Fallen Immortal… No, this True Immortal Will.
Especially since she had just used an Immortal Art!
At this moment, Mo Li Lan ignored Pei Ling. She closed her eyes and began to enter a state of bunk (light sleep).
The surrounding darkness also seemed to settle, no longer having the sense of being spied upon by many unseen, ungraspable, indescribable, and unportrayable things. The rustling sounds vanished without a trace, turning into a pure tranquility.
Seeing Mo Li Lan remain silent, Pei Ling was still pondering the words this True Immortal Will had just spoken.
Due Abyss was not deep underground, but located in the Void Realm?
If so, it was no wonder that the System had never taken him out of Due Abyss during his many previous Hosting (delegated) Cultivations!
Especially when Cultivating the Maha Color Evolution Scroll, he had originally thought it was foolproof and that he would definitely leave Due Abyss smoothly, but something went wrong inexplicably.
At that time, the message from Si Hong Miaoli clearly stated that Si Hong Qingyan was near the exit of Due Abyss.
But the System didn't detect Si Hong Qingyan at all, and instead gave him a new Cauldron, Wenren Lingse…
However, none of that was important now. The real problem was that Due Abyss was located in the Yu Wai Void, and its teleportation array and Jianxin Lake had both been destroyed by Wenren Lingse. How could he return to Pan Ya World?
His thoughts spun, and Pei Ling looked at Mo Li Lan again, then pretended to ask casually, "After you finish what you're doing, how do you plan to go back?"
Chapter 939: Du'e Yuan is broken. (Second update! Please subscribe!)
Mo Li Lan's eyes remained closed. After a moment of silence, she replied indifferently, "The Cultivator of this vessel is too low right now. I will return through the power of my main body."
Upon hearing that she truly had a way to return, Pei Ling immediately felt relieved. He then said, "This place is the Yu Wai Void after all. Your power has not fully recovered. To prevent any accidents, it's best if we go together so we can look out for each other."
Mo Li Lan's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she quickly said, "Next, do not casually control this vessel of mine."
"As for whether we return together or separately, it doesn't matter."
Hearing this, Pei Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Good, the problem of returning to Pan Ya World was solved!
Thinking this, he also had the inclination to inquire about other matters. Looking at the viscous and quiet darkness around him, he couldn't help but ask, "What is the name of this move of yours?"
Mo Li Lan replied concisely, "Nether Sky Mist."
Pei Ling nodded slightly. He already knew this Nether Sky Mist, but he didn't know its specific name. On the other hand, that immortal art she just used...
So, he continued to ask, "What about the immortal art you just performed?"
Mo Li Lan calmly replied, "Nether Sky Great Dream."
Pei Ling immediately named this immortal art on the System interface.
Immediately after, he asked again, "What is the function of this immortal art?"
Seeing Pei Ling's questions coming one after another, and all of them being meaningless common sense, Mo Li Lan immediately became a little impatient. She coldly said, "You will know very soon!"
***
Due Abyss.
In mid-air, spells and Divine Abilities roared and intertwined. As terrifying tremors permeated the area, the hole in the dome had already expanded to cover the entire Due Abyss.
The tearing force in the Void Realm grew stronger and stronger, almost tearing all the prisoners from the "Huang" Zone and "Xuan" Character District into pieces.
Blood rain continuously fell, and the prisoners' shrill screams were brief and sharp.
In the pit of the "Xuan" Character District, Wenren Lingse, who was severely injured, stood holding the Evil Slaying Banner, quietly watching the prisoners from the "Tian" Zone and Di Zone slaughter each other.
Since her full-power strike of throwing out her Natal Weapon, her Aura had been like a candle in the wind, with only a final breath remaining. However, as long as the Evil Slaying Banner in her hand did not fall, she would not die immediately.
At this moment, the prisoners of the Righteous Path and Demonic Path were fighting to the death. One moment they were allies fighting side by side, the next they were traitors turning against each other.
The situation in the field changed in an instant, and it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, but no one attacked her anymore.
Boom boom boom boom boom...
Flesh and blood splattered, Divine Souls shattered. In the increasingly fierce struggle, fewer and fewer prisoners survived.
Finally, with an earth-shattering bang, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon and Yuan Changzhen both staggered back several steps before finally standing firm in the Void Realm.
Although Yuan Changzhen was clearly at a disadvantage, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon quickly glanced around, snorted coldly, but did not continue to pursue.
Because at this moment, only he, Yuan Changzhen, Qingyao Great Demon, Luan Qiaoqing of Heavenly Born Sect, Luo Du of Reincarnation Tower, Zuo Jingxing of Chongming Sect... a mere handful of people, were still standing in the air.
The six stopped fighting, looking at each other, with no intention of continuing.
Their magical power had basically returned to its Peak.
Fighting further at this point was meaningless.
Immediately after, their gazes, filled with bloodlust, killing intent, and hatred... all simultaneously turned towards Wenren Lingse.
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon was the first to speak, "Hand over the Void Map."
Yuan Changzhen also said, "Little friend Wenren, although we are not from the same sect, we both come from the Five Righteous Sects. Since I, Yuan Changzhen, entered the Dao, I have shed countless demon blood, but I have never killed any Human Race."
"You are a pure Human Race. To be honest, I bear no ill will towards you."
"Hand over the Void Map, and I guarantee that no one here can harm you."
"I can also take you back to Pan Ya World with me."
"At this point, why bother with her?" Luan Qiaoqing frowned and said, "Just search her Soul directly!"
Luo Du shook his head slightly and replied indifferently, "She is a Grand Elder of Yanxi City. Her Soul is not that easy to search. However, whether it's refining corpses or refining Souls, there are always ways."
The Qingyao Great Demon's figure flickered, transforming into a human form, which was a pale, gaunt, and sinister-looking middle-aged man. He said coldly, "Indeed! Wenren Lingse, if you don't want a dignified Dao Integration Cultivator's remains to be restless after death, hand over the Void Map now, and you can have a quick end!"
Zuo Jingxing immediately spoke, "Wenren Lingse, at this point, even if you want to self-destruct, it's useless."
"You only have a last shred of vitality left. Let alone the power to self-destruct, even standing is difficult."
"Hand over the Void Map, and give the Evil Slaying Banner to this venerable one as compensation, and this venerable one can guarantee to take you back to Pan Ya World."
Surrounded by powerful enemies and on the verge of death, Wenren Lingse showed no fear on her face, coldly spitting out two words: "Dream on!"
She tightly gripped the Evil Slaying Banner, her eyes resolute.
At this moment, she indeed could no longer self-destruct, and it was indeed difficult for her to even stand, but so what?
Even if her life was hanging by a thread now, any one of these six prisoners could make her Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering with a wave of their hand, but she would still die on the path of charge!
Even if her body perishes and her Dao disappears, her Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, she will have no fear or regret!
Thinking of this, Wenren Lingse laboriously began to wave the Evil Slaying Banner. Her movements were extremely slow, like a three-year-old child holding a large banner that her strength could not bear. It was clear that at this moment, Wenren Lingse was even worse than a Mortal.
But the Aura of resolute sacrifice and unwavering determination in her actions remained undiminished.
Seeing that it had come to this point, Wenren Lingse still showed no intention of compromising. Extinguish Lotus Old Demon immediately snorted coldly and said, "Since you are determined to die, then this venerable one shall fulfill your wish!"
Before he finished speaking, a dark lotus flower suddenly appeared, covering Wenren Lingse's head.
And at this moment, Yuan Changzhen, Luan Qiaoqing, Qingyao Great Demon, Luo Du, and Zuo Jingxing had all reached their limit and attacked simultaneously.
A terrifying Aura instantly filled the entire Due Abyss. Wherever the powerful spells and Divine Abilities reached, the tearing force of the Void Realm temporarily disappeared, and the surging Evil Qi churned wildly in all directions like boiling porridge.
Rumble rumble rumble!
The immense power, upon reaching the ground, instantly pierced through the seemingly thick earth.
The riddled Due Abyss finally could no longer hold on. Canyon-like cracks instantly penetrated the dome and the ground, and the entire structure shattered.
The dome was crushed like a brittle pastry, exposing the Void Realm outside.
The tearing force suddenly intensified, violently sucking everything in the Due Abyss outwards, then grinding it into powder, scattering it as Void dust.
The ground continuously trembled and cracked, dark rivers flowed horizontally, then disappeared without a trace...

Chapter 940 "Small World". (3rd update! Please subscribe!)
The bone-chilling aura swept over like raging waves, and having lost its last bit of protection, the Void Gazer Nether Qi, now completely unhindered, began to directly erode the remaining living beings.
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon and the others all changed their expressions, immediately falling into the Void Realm.
At the same time, centered around the shattered Due Abyss, a heart-palpitating storm suddenly arose, carrying spatial turbulence, vast and unrestrained…
The Chaos storm, like an ancient giant beast, effortlessly swallowed everyone.
As Extinguish Lotus Old Demon entered it, black lotuses immediately appeared all over his body.
These lotuses were pitch black like ink, exuding a strange and evil aura. As soon as they appeared, they immediately shattered.
The power of destruction precisely counteracted the tearing force of the storm.
At the same time, he used a escape법 and quickly rushed towards the outer edge of the storm.
The black lotuses bloomed and withered rapidly, and soon, they could no longer keep up with the storm's erosion. The Chaos storm, like a steel knife, directly scraped against Extinguish Lotus Old Demon's body, instantly feeling like a thousand cuts, his entire body covered with dense, fish-scale-like wounds, almost literally tearing off a layer of flesh.
However, a flash of blood light flickered around Extinguish Lotus Old Demon's body, and his escape speed was as fast as lightning, managing to rush out successfully before the Chaos storm completely swallowed him!
Standing in the Void Realm, looking around, and watching the Chaos storm recede, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon took a breath, and his Divine Thought immediately spread out, wanting to find Wenren Lingse's corpse.
However, he quickly discovered that due to the impact of the Chaos storm, everyone else had disappeared except for himself!
Looking out into the Yu Wai Void, it was a desolate, gray world. Here, without a Void map, it was impossible to distinguish up, down, left, or right.
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon gazed for a moment, then couldn't help but frown.
Just then, his expression suddenly froze, then turned into one of great joy.
A strange Small World appeared within his Divine Thought perception!
The Due Abyss was indeed located in the Yu Wai Void, but not far away, there was a small but vibrant Small World!
What a Wenren Lingse, she even dared to deceive him!
Once he returned to Pan Ya World through this Small World, he would surely slaughter her relatives, execute her Disciples, and bloodbath all the Family strongholds under Yanxi City!
Thinking of this, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon's figure flickered, and he quickly escaped into the Small World.
Small World.
Northern part.
A desolate wilderness, rarely visited by humans, was now covered in deep snow.
The edge of the wilderness was a dark, vast expanse.
Mortals could not cross the extremely cold and barren wilderness, and would never see the sight of this world barrier in their lifetime.
At this moment, the barrier broke open, and a burly figure emerged, exuding a fierce aura and surrounded by a bloody Qi, it was Extinguish Lotus Old Demon.
After he entered this Small World, his Divine Thought immediately spread out and quickly discovered that there was no one around, but to the south, there was vibrant life.
So, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon, without hesitation, used his escape technique and headed south.
At his speed, it wasn't long before he detected signs of living beings.
He stopped outside a small village, reached out from a distance, and drew several village women before him.
Then he asked, “Where is this place? Are there any Sects nearby?”
The village women were momentarily dazed, then, uncontrollably, they spoke, “This is the northern part of Great Liang Kingdom, it is the territory of the Immortal Mother Hall.”
※ ※ ※
Yu Wai Void.
A giant, pitch-black spiderweb suddenly appeared. Upon closer inspection, it was countless spatial cracks of various sizes. Within the cracks, a heart-palpitating aura of destruction emanated, turning everything in its path into dust.
From a certain crack, a wisp of clear light suddenly flew out.
The clear light was like electricity, swiftly escaping this spatial turbulence and fleeing into the distance, revealing Yuan Changzhen's figure.
At this moment, he had completely lost the composure of a leader of the Di Zone. His clothes were ragged, his body covered in wounds, and bloodstains were still dripping from his front.
After a brief check of his condition, Yuan Changzhen's face was ashen.
The situation was very bad!
The Due Abyss was shattered, and Wenren Lingse was now nowhere to be found. He wanted to cross the Void Realm and return to Pan Ya World…
While he was thinking, Yuan Changzhen suddenly froze, seeing a large continent slowly drifting by in the gray Yu Wai Void not far away.
Although that continent was far smaller than Pan Ya World, through its translucent world barrier, one could clearly sense the abundant vitality within.
Clearly, it was not a dead land, but a Small World with living beings!
Yuan Changzhen was immediately overjoyed. Without any hesitation, he immediately escaped into the Small World.
At this moment, the coast of the Small World was bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, like a festive holiday.
Everyone wore their brand new robes, the women were all dressed up, looking like blooming flowers, and children darted in and out of the crowd, jumping and shouting, making the scene incredibly noisy.
“Dong dong dong…”
Accompanied by the rousing drumbeats, hundreds of burly men, shirtless, carried bamboo beds on their shoulders and walked briskly towards the seashore.
The bamboo beds on their shoulders were laden with a dazzling array of items. At the front were the solemn three sacrificial animals, followed by fruits, wine, vegetables, and fresh flowers of various kinds, all fresh and neatly arranged. It was clear that great care had been taken in their preparation.
Wherever they went, the crowd parted like a tide, making way, shouting and cheering, creating an extraordinarily lively atmosphere.
Yuan Changzhen spent some effort to break through the world barrier and immediately entered the crowd.
He quickly surveyed his surroundings, seeing the place adorned with lanterns and streamers, like a very grand festival, so he casually pulled a passerby and asked, “Where is this place? What's all this excitement about?”
The passerby's eyes were fixed on the offerings parading through the streets. When he was pulled, he replied without even turning his head, “This is Sea Wind City. A ship is about to set sail.”
“Therefore, we must worship the ‘Emperor’ Immortal to bless the fleet with safety and a great harvest!”
“Emperor” Immortal?
Yuan Changzhen remained calm. Such a Small World could not possibly have Immortals!
The so-called “Emperor” Immortal was most likely just a Cultivator with some cultivation, pretending to be a deity.
However, it was also a clue.
Thinking of this, Yuan Changzhen followed the crowd and slowly walked forward.
After walking for a while, suddenly, a burst of fervent and dense drumbeats came from afar. Immediately, everyone knelt down like a tide, prostrating themselves on the ground, praying devoutly.
Yuan Changzhen, as if sensing something, immediately looked in the direction they were worshipping, and it was a stone statue of a Nine-Tailed Fox, over ten zhang tall.
“What are you doing?!” Just as he clearly saw the statue, several hands had already reached out from his side, grabbing his clothes, “‘Emperor’ Immortal is present, why aren’t you kneeling quickly?!”
“Otherwise, if you anger the ‘Emperor’ Immortal, the entire Sea Wind City will suffer!”
Yuan Changzhen remained motionless, his gaze fixed on the statue, his eyes slightly cold. His parents were both harmed by the Yao Race, and the thing he hated most in his life was Yao!
Make him kneel before a statue of a Yao Beast?!
Hahaha…
Without the slightest hesitation, Yuan Changzhen directly struck the stone statue with his palm.
Boom!!!
Where the palm force reached, the Nine-Tailed Fox stone statue was immediately blasted into powder.
The originally cheering and bustling crowd suddenly fell silent. The next moment, everyone in Sea Wind City looked towards Yuan Changzhen.
Chapter 941 is one more. (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
Yu Wai Void.
A black crack flashed by.
As the aura of destruction spewed and lingered, four figures—Luan Qiaoqing of the Heavenly Born Sect, Luo Du of the Reincarnation Tower, Zuo Jingxing of the Chongming Sect, and the Qingyao Great Demon—escaped from it like a flash of lightning.
After a moment, they finally stood in a relatively safe Void Realm, looking at each other with grim expressions.
The Due Abyss had shattered, and Wenren Lingse was very likely torn to shreds by the Void Realm power.
Without a Void Realm map or a landmark for the Pan Ya World, their hope of returning was extremely slim…
“Three Immortal Friends, do you have any solutions?” After a brief silence, the humanoid form of the Qingyao Great Demon transmitted his voice, asking.
The three looked at each other for a moment, then Luo Du suddenly pointed in one direction and said, “Look over there!”
They immediately looked in the direction he pointed, only to see a continent, shrouded in translucent mist, slowly moving in the distance.
It was clearly a Small World wandering in the Void Realm!
And from a quick glance, it wasn't a dead silence within; there were living beings.
The four immediately brightened. Luan Qiaoqing immediately said, “Let’s go in and get our bearings first.”
Before he finished speaking, four streaks of Escape Light already darted towards the Small World.
At this moment, in the Small World, Imperial Prison.
The rain was falling lightly, with few pedestrians on the road. The guards at the Imperial Prison entrance, however, remained fully alert and dignified, their hawk-like eyes occasionally scanning their surroundings.
The Void Realm rippled, and four figures appeared on the long street.
Upon seeing their surroundings clearly, they immediately frowned.
Anyone who had been imprisoned in the Due Abyss for so many years would feel annoyed at the sight of a prison.
What’s more, the rain falling from the sky at this moment reminded them of the days in the “Tian” Zone of the Due Abyss, when they had to endure the erosion of Evil Qi rain every day.
Zuo Jingxing directly reached out and pulled over a prison guard, then asked in a peculiar voice, “What is this place? Are there any sects nearby?”
The prison guard’s eyes were unfocused, and he replied mechanically, “This is the Imperial Prison of the Great Liang Kingdom, and also the sacrificial ground of the ‘Nightmare’ Immortal.”
‘Nightmare’ Immortal?
The four were slightly surprised. Luo Du immediately asked again, “Tell me everything you know about the ‘Nightmare’ Immortal.”
The guard, in a daze, said, “I’m not very clear either. I only know that the ‘Nightmare’ Immortal occasionally descends into the Imperial Prison.”
Upon hearing this, the four nodded. Immediately afterward, to prevent any omissions in the guard’s words, Zuo Jingxing suddenly gripped the top of his skull, performing a soul-search on him.
“Ah!!!!”
A shrill scream rang out, yet the surrounding Mortals did not notice any of this commotion.
A moment later, the soul-search ended. Zuo Jingxing pondered briefly, then nodded and said, “He’s right. That ‘Nightmare’ Immortal might be a high-level Cultivator, and he did indeed come here before.”
Luan Qiaoqing mused, “Everyone, we don’t know the landmark of the Pan Ya World, nor do we have a map. To go back, it’s best to meet that ‘Nightmare’ Immortal. He might know something.”
Luo Du said, “Then we’ll wait here for ten suns.”
“If that ‘Nightmare’ Immortal still doesn’t appear, we’ll look for other clues.”
The others nodded in agreement, and the Qingyao Great Demon also approved.
So, they concealed their Qi and walked directly into the Imperial Prison.
※※※
Due Abyss.
Underground.
Inside the Vacuum Spirit Transformation Array, the darkness was thick.
Mo Li Lan sat cross-legged in the center of the Formation, her eyes tightly closed, not saying a word.
At this moment, Pei Ling was already pressed closely against Mo Li Lan, almost leaning his entire body against hers.
Rumble!
Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar pierced through the Nether Sky Mist, through the layers of underground obstruction, and through the protection of the Vacuum Spirit Transformation Array, exploding in their ears like a world-ending thunderbolt!
At the same time, the ground suddenly vibrated violently. Most of the Vacuum Spirit Transformation Array’s runes instantly extinguished, and sand, gravel, and rocks fell from above, as if the entire Due Abyss was collapsing.
Pei Ling’s expression changed. Although he didn't know what had happened, he reacted extremely quickly, immediately embracing Mo Li Lan.
Mo Li Lan’s delicate brows furrowed, but she seemed to be controlling something at the moment, remaining completely still.
Aside from her extremely displeased expression, she made no other movements.
At this moment, seeing the commotion gradually disappear with nothing ultimately happening, Pei Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said magnanimously, “Immortal Friend Mo, there’s no need to worry. With my protection, nothing will happen to you!”
Mo Li Lan snorted coldly, not answering anything.
Pei Ling didn’t care and vigilantly scanned his surroundings. Although everything had been peaceful from just now until now, it was always better to be careful. Therefore, he held Mo Li Lan’s hand and did not let go for a long time.
After a good while, Mo Li Lan suddenly opened her eyes, and a powerful Qi burst forth from her body, instantly pushing Pei Ling away.
Pei Ling retreated a few steps, then immediately stood firm. After that, as if nothing had happened, he calmly asked, “Are you done?”
Mo Li Lan gave Pei Ling a cold glance and said, “There’s one last thing. I need to go deal with it.”
With that, she immediately escape to the ground.
Pei Ling did not hesitate in the slightest. He immediately used the Five Ghost Sky Net Escape and followed closely behind her.
In the blink of an eye, the two returned to the surface. Darkness filled their vision, and in their perception, the surrounding terrain had already changed drastically. The entire Due Abyss was now enveloped by the Nether Sky Mist.
A whispering murmur, like incessant whispers, enveloped their ears. In the darkness, countless rustling sounds arose, as if something was close by, eyeing them covetously.
This feeling was exactly the same as in the Eternal Night Desert.
Pei Ling immediately extended his Divine Thought to investigate the surroundings. The Nether Sky Mist could block Divine Thought, but since this was the Nether Sky Mist created by his Incarnation, it had no effect on him.
Soon, he noticed that the entire “Huang” Zone was empty; not a single Cultivator could be found.
The prisoners from the “Tian” Zone and “Earth” Zone who had escaped the Seal were all gone, not even a single corpse left behind.

Chapter 942: Conditions for Master Recognition. (First update! Please subscribe!)
Seeing this, Pei Ling frowned and asked, "Is she still alive?"
Wenren Lingse had tortured him before, and he had thought at the time that once his cultivation was higher, he would definitely settle the score with her...
But now, with Due Abyss in trouble, and Warden and Prison Manager absent, as Si Yuan, a dignified Dao Integration Stage cultivator, with noble status and profound cultivation, it shouldn't be difficult for her to protect herself. Yet, she faithfully performed her duty, single-handedly fending off a horde of demons... Seeing her end up like this, he felt somewhat uneasy.
At this moment, Mo Li Lan said indifferently, "That banner locked her last trace of Qi."
"Otherwise, no Mortal could withstand my 【Nether Sky Grand Dream】."
Hearing that Wenren Lingse was not dead, Pei Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, he was startled.
Did the True Immortal Will mean that all other living beings in Due Abyss had been devoured by the True Immortal's dream?
Thinking of this, his gaze immediately fixed on the banner in Wenren Lingse's hand.
He had already used all three tian shang tears given to him by his Master, Yao Yingqing.
And while the three Void Heaven Realm Seeds were excellent life-saving measures when his Realm was low, they had already failed twice since the last time in Eternal Night Desert.
If he encountered another life-or-death crisis like this one, he now had no life-saving item that could be considered a trump card.
And that banner at the bottom of the deep pit, capable of preserving the heavily injured Wenren Lingse's life under the True Immortal Will's Immortal Art, must be extremely miraculous!
So, Pei Ling immediately said, "That banner is very special; it has some use for my Immortal body that is sealed in You Su Tomb and Floating Life Mirror."
"Please, Immortal Friend Mo, let me have it."
Mo Li Lan nodded indifferently: "Alright."
She wasn't very interested in the Zhue Flag; the Foundation of this Magic Treasure was decent, with the potential to evolve into an Immortal Artifact, which was barely acceptable.
But it wasn't a true Immortal Artifact, and with her discernment, she wouldn't take it too seriously.
Since Pei Ling needed it, she was too lazy to contend for it.
Seeing this, Pei Ling was delighted and immediately used the 【Five Ghost Sky Net Escape】 to descend in front of Wenren Lingse.
Upon reaching the bottom of the deep pit, the tragic aura grew even stronger.
Pei Ling stepped forward, first bowed to Wenren Lingse, and then reached out to grab the Zhue Flag.
The moment his fingers touched the Zhue Flag, a vast and powerful force immediately repelled him.
Sensing the abnormality, Pei Ling was startled, and the 【Five Ghost Sky Net Escape】 activated, instantly returning him to Mo Li Lan's side.
At this moment, the Zhue Flag moved without wind, and a small figure slowly emerged on its surface, dressed in a black-based, plain-patterned, red-edged battle skirt.
Looking closely, it was a young girl with twin ponytails, about six or seven years old, with black hair and red eyes, a delicate and beautiful face, and an old battle skirt that looked as if it had endured thousands of battles, covered in scars and bloodstains, exuding a heavy and ancient aura.
Her face was tender, but her eyes were extremely sharp, her expression solemn, hinting at majesty, and her aura was vast and boundless, as if a well-disciplined army of thousands stood before her, even though it was just one figure.
This was the Flag Spirit of the Zhue Flag!
After the Flag Spirit appeared, it glanced at Wenren Lingse, then its gaze swept past Mo Li Lan and landed on Pei Ling.
Immediately after, it spoke, "My name is 'Evil Exterminator', and I am the Flag Spirit of this banner. Only beings with noble virtue, untainted by innocent blood, are worthy of holding me."
Seeing this, Pei Ling quickly realized that the rank of this Magic Treasure was clearly very high, and even without anyone controlling it, the Artifact Spirit was extraordinary.
Thinking of this, he immediately asked, "I possess all these qualities, so how can I become your Master?"
The Flag Spirit silently watched Pei Ling. It had deliberately stated those conditions because the other party was not qualified to touch it at all! Under such circumstances, the other party still wanted to become its Master?
However, after glancing at Wenren Lingse, who was on her last breath, the Flag Spirit finally relented and said, "Can you heal Wenren Lingse?"
Heal Wenren Lingse?
Pei Ling immediately frowned. He really wanted to save her! However, how could he, a mere Soul Transformation cultivator, save a dying Dao Integration Stage cultivator?
If he still had his Master Yao Yingqing's tian shang tears, there would be no problem, but now, the Saint Legacy and the "Zhou" Legacy he possessed were all for killing people, and he didn't even have a single method specifically for healing!
The conditions for this Flag Spirit to acknowledge a Master...
Thinking of this, Pei Ling looked at Mo Li Lan beside him and suddenly thought of something. He did have a method for healing! And this method had almost awakened a True Immortal!
Yes, it was the 【Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse】 from the "Zhou" Legacy!
His mind churning, Pei Ling subtly asked, "Immortal Friend Mo, could you lend me some offerings?"
As he spoke, he carefully observed Mo Li Lan's reaction.
Mo Li Lan said indifferently, "Offerings are no problem, and this Dao Integration Stage female cultivator can also be given to you. However, you must sacrifice to my true form one more time."
Hearing this, Pei Ling immediately felt relieved.
Mo Li Lan agreeing to give him offerings, and showing no doubt, indicated that the 【Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse】 he possessed could indeed heal Wenren Lingse.
Or rather, the offerings provided by the other party could save this Si Yuan of Due Abyss!
As for sacrificing to the True Immortal Will's true form again... that carried some risk, but for that Zhue Flag, he could agree!
He immediately said, "Good."
Mo Li Lan, seeing his agreement, nodded with satisfaction and said, "I will arrange it immediately."
With the conditions settled with the True Immortal Will, Pei Ling then looked at the Zhue Flag and said, "I can save Wenren Lingse, but my method might have a slight side effect."
The Flag Spirit, sensing Wenren Lingse's extremely faint aura, immediately said, "As long as Wenren Lingse's life can be preserved, that's all that matters!"
As if worried Pei Ling wouldn't try his best, it immediately added, "As for my conditions for acknowledging a Master, they are very stringent."
"Someone like you cannot possibly meet them."
"Currently, only Wenren Lingse barely meets the conditions, but as long as you save Wenren Lingse, I can be at your command for three years."
"After three years, I will leave and go find Wenren Lingse."
"Only Wenren Lingse can become my true Master."
Hearing this, Pei Ling was stunned. Saving Wenren Lingse wasn't a condition for this Flag Spirit to acknowledge a Master, but a condition for using him as a backup?!
However, he quickly recovered. It seemed he didn't need to quibble with this Flag Spirit about these things.
After he saved Wenren Lingse with the 【Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse】, even Wenren Lingse would be his.
There would be no difference whether this Flag Spirit acknowledged him as Master or Wenren Lingse as Master.
At that time, he could just have Wenren Lingse give him the Zhue Flag!
Chapter 943 【The Great Dream of the Dark Sky】. (Second update! Please subscribe!)
“Wenren Lingse’s cultivation is far too high for me, and she’s very hostile towards me.”
“This time, as long as the Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse is successfully cast, I’ll first get my hands on the Evil Slaying Banner.”
“After that, when my cultivation and strength are no less than hers, I’ll then release her from the Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse. This way, I won’t have to worry about her harming me…”
Thinking of this, Pei Ling smiled and nodded, “No problem!”
At this moment, Mo Li Lan suddenly said, “It’s about time, we can return to Pan Ya World.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a gigantic black vortex suddenly appeared.
Countless grains of sand and rocks were swept into it, and its aura was just like the passage to the deep dream in the Eternal Night Desert.
The vortex grew larger and larger, quickly engulfing Pei Ling, Mo Li Lan, Wenren Lingse, and the Evil Slaying Banner.
The surrounding Nether Sky Mist also surged like a tide, flowing into the vortex.
Without the cover of darkness, the full view of Due Abyss finally reappeared.
Its terrain was already ravaged, with traces of spells, Divine Abilities, and punches, palms, legs, and fingers everywhere, and a strong scent of blood permeated the air.
However, the entire Due Abyss showed no signs of breaking apart.
A powerful halberd was inserted into the dome, and from the tip of the halberd, spiderweb-like cracks spread in all directions, but there were no holes in the dome.
After devouring all the Nether Sky Mist, the vortex began to shrink.
The halberd seemed to sense something and began to tremble violently. Then, it broke free from the dome and, just before the vortex completely disappeared, transformed into a bolt of lightning and suddenly vanished into it.
※ ※ ※
Small World.
North.
Outside a remote small mountain village, a tall figure stood alone. In front of him were several village women with dazed expressions and scattered eyes.
Immortal Mother Hall?
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon nodded slightly. This was most likely a Sect in this Small World.
To ensure he didn't miss any crucial clues, he immediately performed a soul search on the village women.
“Ah!!!”
A mournful scream rang out, but it could not be heard beyond a few steps.
Soon, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon obtained all the village women's memories about the Immortal Mother Hall. This Immortal Mother Hall was not a typical Sect for seeking Dao and teaching, as he had thought, but rather focused on sacrifices.
They sacrificed to an Immortal with the title “Yue”.
The Disciples in the hall were mostly women, and the most common thing they did was to pray to Immortal “Yue” for children…
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon mused to himself, this Immortal Mother Hall had a significant influence in this Small World, and the Immortal “Yue” behind it should be a high-level Cultivator. It was very likely that he would have a Void Realm map of the vicinity of this Small World.
Thinking of this, he casually formed a hand seal, incinerating these village women, and then, according to their memories, fled towards the Immortal Mother Hall’s main headquarters.
Immortal Mother City.
A large mansion covering an area of one hundred mu in the north of the city.
Although it was winter, the entire mansion had underfloor heating, and the windows were made of glazed glass, making it as warm as spring.
Ten women, plump and slender, each with their own unique charm, dressed only in light gauze skirts, adorned with pearls and jade, their ornaments jingling, were gathered in a room. They enjoyed fresh fruits and fine wine from the warm room while discussing important matters.
These ten women were the current leaders of the Immortal Mother Hall, holding high positions and having received many rewards from Immortal “Yue”. Regardless of their original age and appearance, they now looked to be around thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, middle-aged but still charming, and their aura was significantly stronger than that of other people in the Immortal Mother Hall.
Their children were currently guarding outside. Although it was snowing heavily, they wore only single layers of clothing but felt no fear. All of them looked respectful and vigilant, patiently waiting for their mothers’ instructions.
These children had ugly appearances but were incredibly strong and moved like lightning.
Through the glazed windows, seeing their children’s performance, the ten women felt relieved.
At this moment, the charming woman at the head slowly spoke, “Recalling the days of the past and looking at today, it truly feels like a dream!”
“Sisters, if not for Immortal ‘Yue,’ what do you think our situation would be now?”
“Immortal ‘Yue’ is benevolent and answers every prayer, yet he never asks for anything from us.”
“It truly makes us feel ashamed!”
“Sister is right!” The other women listened and echoed, frowning as they said, “Although we always prepare all the offerings for each sacrifice, it’s nothing more than a small token of our sincerity.”
“In reality, how could an Immortal like ‘Yue’ look upon Mortal offerings?”
“Immortal ‘Yue’’s kindness to us is as heavy as a mountain, yet we cannot repay even a fraction of it…”
A woman with a ‘Hui Xin’ bun sighed softly, “We were originally weak women with no strength to bind a chicken. Everything we have today is due to Immortal ‘Yue’.”
“We want to repay Immortal ‘Yue,’ but we are willing but powerless… We can’t possibly bear children for Immortal ‘Yue,’ can we?”
“Hmm?” This remark, however, reminded the others. Immediately, many women’s eyes lit up, and the charming woman at the head immediately said, “We just don’t know if Immortal ‘Yue’ is male or female. If he is a male Immortal, we are willing to bear children for him!”
The other women nodded in agreement, “We are all willing to bear children for the Immortal!”
“The Immortal’s children, what would they look like?” They couldn’t help but continue discussing this topic. “Presumably, besides being strong, their appearance would also be first-rate…”
As they spoke, they looked out at their children in the wind and snow again. Although these sons were obedient and powerful, their appearances were indeed not presentable.
But if they were children born with Immortal “Yue”…
That would definitely be different!
Just by seeing how they had successively returned to youth and their beauty had grown day by day, they knew that since Immortal “Yue” could make their appearances improve daily, how perfect would his own children be?
The women imagined the most beautiful and powerful children in this world, born of themselves. Each of them couldn't help but smile, and the idea of bearing children for Immortal “Yue” became increasingly firm.
“Sisters, how about this.” Someone then suggested, “Let the children pack up later. The ten of us will bathe and change, then jointly set up a sacrifice, praying to bear children for Immortal ‘Yue,’ how about that?”
“Good, that’s how it should be!”
“This idea goes straight to my heart!”
“This matter is of great importance, the offerings must be refined to perfection…”
“Bring up that plate of South Sea pearls from my place!”
“And my East Sea coral too.”
“And my Imperial Jadeite…”
The women were discussing spiritedly when suddenly, a streak of light flashed across the sky. Extinguish Lotus Old Demon arrived through the Void Realm, standing in the courtyard and looking down.
The ten women happened to see this scene through the glazed windows, and their expressions all froze.
In the courtyard, many of their children had noticed the movement first and were about to act, but they immediately felt an incredibly powerful force, like a myriad of mountains pressing down, making them unable to move at all.
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon’s Divine Thought swept over them, discovering that the children outside were not to be feared, and the ten women they were guarding were all Mortals. He immediately sneered and said bluntly, “Within one hour, this Venerable One wants to see Immortal ‘Yue’.”
“Otherwise, I will slaughter the entire Immortal Mother Hall!!”

Chapter 944 Return to the Immortal Position. (Third update! Please subscribe!)
The starry sky was boundless, cold, and brilliant.
The Void Realm fluctuated, and Pei Ling’s figure appeared.
Just like last time, as soon as he entered this dream, he immediately felt his power increase ten million-fold, as if he could easily move mountains and overturn seas, pluck stars, and grasp the moon with a mere raise of his hand.
He had inherited the Immortal position he held in this dream last time!
Pei Ling was slightly surprised. Could the Nether Sky Mist used by the True Immortal Will in Due Abyss be connected to the dream in the Eternal Night Desert?
As he was thinking, a figure suddenly emerged from the Void Realm in front of him. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with Phoenix eyes and vermillion lips, a clear spirit and refined bones. She wore a Zhai Yi (Zhaiyi, ceremonial robe) and a Phoenix crown, and the gems by her ears were as vivid as blood, casting a faint red glow on her cheeks. It was Princess Zhuangshu of the Great Liang Kingdom.
Upon seeing her, Pei Ling was startled at first, then immediately realized that this was the True Immortal Will controlling Mo Li Lan's body in the outside world.
At this moment, Princess Zhuangshu spoke, "Immortal Friend, will you first save that Core Formation female Cultivator, or will you first help my main body with the sacrifice?"
Pei Ling mused inwardly, going directly to sacrifice to the True Immortal's main body now was too risky.
He had to get his hands on the Evil Subjugation Banner first!
So, he concisely said, "Save the person first."
Princess Zhuangshu nodded, then said, "You can choose the sacrificial offerings for saving the person from the Human Realm yourself."
"However, you cannot choose from those related to the imperial court."
"You can only select offerings from the subjects under the five Immortal names: 'Yan,' 'Yue,' 'Ning,' 'Fu,' and 'Di.'"
"You can start now."
Upon hearing that the Princess wanted him to choose offerings from Mortals, Pei Ling frowned slightly and immediately asked, "Can Original Immortals or old Immortals be used as offerings?"
Princess Zhuangshu immediately shook her head, "Those are all offerings my main body needs; I cannot give them to you."
"Moreover, the offerings you can choose from now are already sufficient."
At this point, perhaps because she would need Pei Ling again in the future, she pondered for a moment, then added, "If you feel it's unfair..."
Before she finished speaking, she slowly opened her right hand, and four clusters of light, each with different colors and sizes, immediately rose from her palm.
Within each cluster of light, a cloud seal was inscribed: Yue, Ning, Fu, Di.
Princess Zhuangshu said, "You can additionally choose an Immortal position to devour, which will serve as compensation for this sacrifice to my main body."
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling fell silent.
What he was most worried about now was not whether this transaction was fair, but whether the Mortal offerings in the dream could save Wenren Lingse.
But from the True Immortal Will's words, it seemed that Mortal offerings would be enough??
As for devouring an Immortal position... he had heard Ji Changfu say that elevating one's Immortal position in this Immortal dream would greatly benefit one's self in reality.
Presumably, devouring an Immortal position should be similar.
Thinking of this, Pei Ling immediately nodded and said, "Good."
Princess Zhuangshu asked, "Which Immortal position do you want?"
Pei Ling quickly analyzed in his mind, the "Di" Immortal was directly excluded. This was the Immortal position Yu Xuezhao had obtained in the Immortal dream previously. Among the four Immortal positions, this was the weakest one, and he didn't need to consider it at all.
The "Fu" Immortal was also similar; this was Ji Changfu's Immortal position, and Ji Changfu's Foundation had already been severely damaged before he entered the Immortal dream.
Compared to those two Righteous Path successors, he would definitely be a step behind.
As for the remaining two Immortal positions, "Yue" and "Ning"...
His thoughts turned, and Pei Ling asked, "Between 'Yue' and 'Ning,' which Immortal position is stronger?"
Princess Zhuangshu said indifferently, "The Du Xian Society is now leaderless and a scattered mess; while the Immortal Mother Hall is at its Peak, so 'Yue' is stronger."
Pei Ling nodded, then said, "Then I choose 'Yue.'"
Princess Zhuangshu gently waved her wide sleeve, putting away the three clusters of light, "Ning," "Fu," and "Di," while the cluster of "Yue" light swiftly flew into Pei Ling's glabella.
In an instant, Pei Ling's ears were filled with a tide-like chorus of prayers.
Princess Zhuangshu said, "Fulfill three or more wishes of the 'Yue' believers, and you can officially devour its Immortal position."
"Thank you!" Pei Ling nodded slightly, then with a thought, he chose the most anxious and fervent prayer among the many.
Soon, his Divine Soul seemed to descend abruptly, and he quickly saw a scene:
In a spacious and luxurious Main Hall, a demonic Cultivator with tattered clothes and a tyrannical Aura sat at the head, surrounded by floating black lotuses, looking around as if no one else was present.
Inside and outside the Main Hall, corpses lay everywhere, blood flowed like rivers, and the numerous descendants bestowed by the "Yue" Immortal had clearly been slaughtered completely.
After clearly seeing the appearance of that demonic Cultivator, Pei Ling was startled. This was precisely the prisoner from the lowest level of the "Tian" Zone in Due Abyss!
At this moment, ten women in bright dresses with pale faces were kneeling tremblingly in the courtyard, murmuring prayers with anxious tones.
Pei Ling composed himself and listened for a while, quickly understanding what had happened.
This demonic Cultivator had come to the Immortal Mother Hall's main altar, wanting to meet the "Yue" Immortal, otherwise he would slaughter the entire Immortal Mother Hall... And the content of the prayers from the ten women in the courtyard was to ask him to unleash his wrath and severely punish this demonic Cultivator.
This prayer is a bit difficult!
The prisoner from the lowest level of the "Tian" Zone was powerful and highly cultivated. An Immortal like himself, who had gained an Immortal position out of thin air through the True Immortal dream, might not be able to deal with the opponent.
Pei Ling frowned tightly, thought seriously, and decided to first probe the other party's intentions to see what the demonic Cultivator's purpose was in seeking the "Yue" Immortal.
So, he immediately transmitted his voice, "Your Excellency, you seek me, may I know your purpose?"
***
Immortal Mother Hall Main Altar.
In the extremely luxurious Main Hall, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon sat at the head, composed and imposing.
At this moment, the previously tightly shut main door was wide open, and the situation in the courtyard was clearly visible.
Beside the temporarily built altar, ten women, who were originally dressed in vibrant clothes but had their faces turned pale by the wind and snow, were kneeling on the ground, trembling and murmuring prayers.
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon was extremely calm now.
At first, not knowing the Immortal Mother Hall's background, he hadn't planned to directly act.
But upon seeing the ten highest-ranking directors of this so-called Immortal Mother Hall, he was greatly disappointed—a Mortal organization that had not even stepped onto the Dao!
It was simply not worth his time!
That "Yue" Immortal, who needed to rely on feigning divinity to gain Mortal worship, had a cultivation base at most at Core Formation!
When he met the "Yue" Immortal later, he wouldn't waste words with them, he would directly search their soul.
He wanted to know where the strongest Sect and the strongest Cultivators in this Small World were!
Seeing that the ten women had been offering sacrifices for half a day, but the "Yue" Immortal had not appeared, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon said indifferently, "I'll give you another quarter of an hour."
"Within a quarter of an hour, if the 'Yue' Immortal still doesn't appear, you will no longer have any value in living."
Chapter 945: Just the Child. (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
Upon hearing this, the ten women were instantly startled, their expressions growing more anxious, and their murmured prayers became increasingly incoherent.
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon snorted coldly. If he had not just arrived in this Small World and needed to gather a large amount of information, these Mortals wouldn't even have the qualifications to kneel before him…
As he was thinking, a strong tremor suddenly arose in Extinguish Lotus Old Demon’s heart, as if the will of some terrifying existence, hidden in the depths, had suddenly descended!
Before he could react, a chaotic, mad, twisted, and depraved gibberish suddenly sounded in his ears!
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon couldn't understand what the gibberish was saying. He only felt his body momentarily lose control. Around his ears, flesh sprouts suddenly grew out like bamboo shoots breaking through the earth, scrambling to emerge. His entire body also began to rapidly swell, twist, and deform into an inconceivable shape.
Immortal!?
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon was instantly greatly alarmed and hastily mobilized all his magic power to resist the changes in his body.
At this moment, his tempered Dao body, before this gibberish, was as fragile as paper, completely without any power to resist. His entire body, bones, Meridians, and blood all began to change violently, and intense pain surged like a raging tide.
He endured the pain and shot out several Qi blades, immediately cutting off the excess flesh sprouts on his body.
At the same time, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon’s magic power rapidly depleted.
After an unknown amount of time, blood had completely soaked the seat and the rug beneath it. Extinguish Lotus Old Demon finally stabilized his condition.
At this moment, he was already covered in wounds. One of his ears had been directly cut off, he only had eight fingers left, his legs were one long and one short, and blood was still dripping from the severed ends. His entire being was weak, his magic power completely exhausted, and even his entire Meridians were faintly aching.
Seeing that the deformation had finally stopped, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then could no longer support himself and fainted on the spot.
…After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly jolted awake from his dazed state, his consciousness gradually returning. He found that he had been moved to a dark, damp place.
Not far away, women were talking in low voices. It sounded like they were the ten high-ranking members of the Immortal Mother Hall from before.
“…Let go of me, let me kill him!! This evil person killed all our descendants, causing our Immortal Mother Hall to suffer heavy losses and leaving us almost completely without reliance. If I don't chop him into mincemeat today, my hatred will not be appeased!!
“Sister, calm down. The reason we are able to take charge of the Immortal Mother Hall, besides our devout worship of the 'Yue' Immortal, is also because our descendants are the strongest. Now, they have all been slaughtered by this evil person. If it weren't for the 'Yue' Immortal's compassion, who timely sent down divine punishment, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”
“The crisis is only temporarily resolved. We must plan for the long term!”
“Elder Sister, this evil person is so powerful, and also fierce and cruel, why not let Sixth Sister kill him to prevent future troubles?”
“Don't worry, sisters, the 'Yue' Immortal has already subdued this evil person. No matter how ruthless he is, he is now merely a plaything in our hands and cannot cause any more trouble.”
The leading woman said calmly, “Moreover, this evil person is so powerful, his body must be very good. He killed so many of our descendants, this matter absolutely cannot be simply forgotten.”
“Killing him directly would not only be letting him off lightly but also would not compensate for our losses.”
“However many descendants he killed of ours, we will make him return that many descendants to us!”
Hearing this, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon suddenly woke up with a start. He tried to stand up but found himself completely weak, without even a bit of strength. Furthermore, his limbs and bones were empty, unable to gather any magic power. His hands and feet were bound to a stone bed by iron chains as thick as a child's arm, making him completely unable to move.
At this slight movement, a pair of wind chimes tied to his wrists immediately emitted a pleasant crisp sound. The women of the Immortal Mother Hall immediately noticed he was awake, and numerous gazes fell upon him.
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon frowned. These Mortals were insignificant at the moment.
But the “Yue” Immortal these people worshipped was a true Immortal!
He was too unlucky this time, having provoked an Immortal. He had to find a way to escape.
Thinking of this, he immediately said, “Everyone, I was reckless just now and offended you greatly. As the saying goes, ‘No discord, no concord.’ I have many Cultivation Techniques here, whether for entering the Dao and achieving longevity, or for eternal youth, or for charming all, there is everything. I am willing to offer them all to you for your appreciation, as an apology.”
“Please be lenient and untie me.”
The leading woman slightly raised her chin, her hair ornaments jingling. She sneered and said, “We don't need so-called Cultivation Techniques. We want children!”
“However many descendants you killed of ours, you must now return that many descendants to us!”
Upon hearing this, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon glanced at the women of the Immortal Mother Hall. Although they were all just Mortals and not in their prime youth, generally speaking, they were still somewhat attractive…
For an existence like him, being forced to have children with Mortals, while not good for his reputation, he wouldn't lose anything. This condition was completely acceptable!
So, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon said, “Alright, right now!”
The leading woman's expression relaxed upon hearing this. She said, “Your Excellency is straightforward!”
Immediately after, she turned and instructed the women beside her, “Sisters, you all go prepare.”
Those women immediately took the order and went to a nearby corner to prepare.
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon remained tied to the stone bed, patiently waiting.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the women who went to the corner to prepare were not undressing to engage in intimacy with him, but were quickly setting up an altar and beginning to sacrifice?
As he was wondering, he heard the women's intermittent prayers: “Humbly… ‘Yue’ Immortal is merciful, sincerely pray… evil person give birth… a hundred strong male heirs, all under the names of us concubines… utmost sincerity, respectfully.”
※※※
Starry Sky.
Pei Ling and Princess Zhuangshu stood side by side.
Just now, Pei Ling had already fulfilled two prayers from the “Yue” Immortal’s believers. The first was to punish the prisoner at the bottom of the “Tian” Zone; the second was to seal all of that prisoner’s power.
He had originally thought that the prisoner at the very bottom of the “Tian” Zone had unfathomably profound cultivation and had almost attempted Possession on him before, so he would be extremely troublesome. Who knew that in this dream realm, where Immortals and Mortals were different, the other party had almost deformed on the spot and degenerated into a mindless Fallen Devil just by hearing his voice.
At this moment, urgent and anxious prayers came again from his ears.
Pei Ling immediately looked over.
He saw a dim underground palace before him. Under the dim yellow lamplight, he immediately saw the prisoner from the lowest level of the “Tian” Zone, who was tied up. So, Pei Ling didn't even finish listening to the content of the prayer and directly granted it.
Since the other party had previously tried to Possess him, there was no need to be polite with him now!
Remember to vote after reading!
Chapter 946: Prison Warden. (First update! Please subscribe!)
The next moment, Pei Ling saw the prisoner’s belly rapidly swell and expand as if being inflated.
However, as a prisoner who had once been confined to the deepest part of Due Abyss, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon quickly regained his composure after a brief moment of astonishment.
As his abdomen swelled, the pain became increasingly intense; the thing that had suddenly appeared in his belly rapidly squeezed and pulled at his internal organs, continuously drawing out his power, and the greed emanating from it seemed to want to completely drain him dry.
Facing such unprecedented and unimaginable torture, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon merely frowned slightly, his expression otherwise unchanged.
Before long, his belly was as large as that of a full-term pregnant woman. Then, like a ripe watermelon, with a soft 'bang,' his abdomen split open. Accompanied by a cold snort from Extinguish Lotus Old Demon, blood splattered, and a bizarrely shaped fetus tore through his robes and crawled out, wet and glistening.
Then came the second, the third, the fourth…
Pei Ling was startled, and then, due to the truly horrifying visual impact, he quickly exited the scene.
At this moment, having continuously fulfilled three prayers from the 'Yue' immortal believers, his Aura had noticeably elevated by a large margin upon his consciousness returning to the starry sky. His Dao rose steadily, and a more distinct and potent immortal intent, stronger than before, enveloped his body.
A moment later, Pei Ling’s transformation was completely finished. He felt himself become much stronger, but this was, after all, a dream, and he wondered what it would be like when he returned to reality.
Just then, Princess Zhuangshu calmly reminded him, “You may begin selecting sacrifices.”
Pei Ling nodded, then asked, “May I descend to the Lower Realm to select?”
Although this was a dream, he still wished to choose those who were truly heinous and unrepentant as sacrifices.
Princess Zhuangshu said indifferently, “You may.”
※ ※ ※
Pan Ya World.
Within Yanxi City’s territory.
A secluded, deep pool, surrounded by mountains, was as emerald green as jade.
At this moment, amidst the shimmering water, the reflection of a luxurious Main Hall of a traveling palace appeared.
Si Hong Qingyan, adorned in splendid robes and an elaborate coiffure, bedecked with pearls and jade, leaned against a precious throne with a sullen expression.
Wenren Lingse truly deserved to be harvested!
The Immolation War was in full swing, with countless Pseudo-Dao Cultivator and Pseudo-Dao Mortal dying on the battlefield or becoming displaced every day. Why didn't she go to the Jiuyi Mountain territory to participate in the war, instead of guarding Due Abyss for no reason?
She had failed to get revenge on Pei Ling this time.
Soon, she would have to transmit a message to Old Ancestor, which would delay things for another three days.
How troublesome!
As she was thinking, she suddenly noticed movement from a Talisman. She frowned, but upon taking out the Talisman, she found it wasn't Old Ancestor looking for her, but Si Hong Miaoli.
With a thought, she activated the Talisman.
Immediately, Si Hong Miaoli's voice came through, slightly urgent: “Madam, there's a change in Due Abyss. All Section Chief and Zhi zhi have been teleported out by Wenren Lingse. I'm mixed in with them and currently heading to an outpost under Yanxi City's jurisdiction.”
“Does Madam wish to make a move?”
Si Hong Qingyan nodded slightly, asking nonchalantly, “Has Saint also come out?”
Si Hong Miaoli said, “I haven't seen Saint.”
Upon hearing this, Si Hong Qingyan immediately lost interest, merely asking, “What happened at Due Abyss?”
“A prisoner from the "Tian" Zone broke free of the restraints,” Si Hong Miaoli said. “Then we were all teleported out of Due Abyss. What happened afterward, we don't know yet.”
Broke free of the restraints?
Si Hong Qingyan paused slightly, then sneered.
With such a major incident at Due Abyss, Wenren Lingse would surely be stretched thin.
She would immediately go to the Due Abyss entrance to see if she could directly teleport in!
Thinking this, Si Hong Qingyan immediately ordered, “If there’s nothing else, that’s all for now.”
Si Hong Miaoli replied, “Yes!”
Before her words finished, Si Hong Qingyan had already pinched out the Talisman, quickly rising. The entire traveling palace, like a massive illusion, slowly faded from the emerald lake, swiftly fleeing towards the Due Abyss entrance.
※ ※ ※
Jiuyi Mountain.
Ci Province battlefield.
Looking down from high above, the entire topography of Ci Province had undergone earth-shattering changes: mountains crumbled, lakes dried up, cities collapsed, and traces of birds and beasts were nowhere to be found… One after another, fortress-like structures, rapidly constructed with magical techniques, rose from the ground, serving as temporary shelters.
The surviving common people gathered around these fortresses like ants, living cautiously, their fragility so palpable that it seemed a single gust of wind could utterly wipe out a certain fortress.
Above the sky, a thatched hut floated silently in a way imperceptible to Mortals.
It covered about an acre, with small courtyards in front and back, planted with several peach and plum trees, now in early bloom, presenting a scene of vibrant spring.
In front of the thatched hut, by a stone table, sat an old man in red robes. His hair and beard were white, his Aura was as pure as Glass, and his body showed no cultivation fluctuations, appearing like a Mortal. Yet, when he glanced around, his Aura was like a rainbow, inspiring awe without anger, and wherever his gaze fell, immense pressure descended silently.
At this moment, he was gazing at a special Talisman suspended before him.
From within the Talisman, a voice came: “…Warden, that’s roughly the situation. After Wenren Lingse, Director of Doom Crossing Abyss teleported us out, she remained alone in Due Abyss.”
Warden listened, his expression unchanged, and calmly replied, “Understood.”
A moment later, receiving no further instructions from him, the other party respectfully took their leave. The Talisman extinguished and automatically floated into Warden's palm.
Only then did Warden sigh, shaking his head.
He knew what Wenren Lingse intended to do.
Due Abyss had only two exits.
One was a teleportation Formation, and the other was Jianxin Lake.
If these two exits fell into the hands of prisoners from the "Tian" Zone and Di Zone, even if the Formation failed, as long as a trace of the rune remained, they could potentially deduce the specific coordinates of Pan Ya World.
Now, Wenren Lingse had teleported all the Section Chief, Zhi zhi, and other guards, except herself, back to Pan Ya World, remaining alone in Due Abyss. She must intend to destroy these two exits and perish together with the prisoners from the "Tian" Zone and Di Zone…
While destroying the Due Abyss exits could barely be done by an Incarnation, an Incarnation could not use the Evil Subjugation Banner and would be utterly defenseless against prisoners from the "Tian" Zone and Di Zone.
As long as an Incarnation fell into the hands of a prisoner, the situation would be the same.
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon and his ilk could forcefully deduce Pan Ya World’s coordinates through the connection between Wenren Lingse’s Incarnation and her main body.
Wenren Lingse was resolute and harbored a deep hatred for evil; she would never allow such a thing to happen.
Thinking this, Warden did not bother to transmit a message to Sect Master to explain the situation. With a thought, a Jade Slip appeared on the stone table before him, already inscribed with the reason for his temporary departure. Immediately after, he directly tore open a spatial rift and stepped into it.
Hopefully, it’s still not too late…
Chapter 947: Choosing the Sacrifice. (Second update! Please subscribe!)
Fallen Immortal Dream Realm.
Human Realm.
Immortal Mother Hall’s main altar.
Deep within the underground palace, the lamplight was dim and yellow.
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon lay on the stone bed, his limbs weak, on his last breath.
He had given birth to a hundred children, and each of them had fully drained his power, almost completely emptying his foundation!
That “Yue” Immortal was a Demon Immortal!
Even if he could recover his magic power now, his strength would certainly plummet!
“No, that’s not right!”
“There’s something wrong with this Small World!”
“How can a Mortal force, one that hasn’t even stepped onto the Dao, connect with a true Immortal?”
“If it were just sacrificing to an Immortal, then fine, but the Immortal actually responds!”
“Wait!”
“It’s too much of a coincidence!”
“How could the False Path Five Sects choose to exile Du’e Abyss to the Void Realm near other Small Worlds?”
“And after Du’e Abyss shattered, I randomly chose a direction to flee and just happened to stumble upon this Small World?”
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon felt increasingly uneasy.
At this moment, the space nearby rippled slightly, and two figures appeared simultaneously.
The person on the left wore a hood; he was tall, and his entire body was completely covered by a dark robe, revealing no true appearance.
On the right was a girl of fifteen or sixteen, dressed in beautiful clothes, with exquisite and elaborate hairpins, a charming face, and an innate noble Aura. Unlike Pei Ling, Princess Zhuangshu made no attempt to conceal herself; she was a True Immortal Will and could perfectly control her power, preventing Mortals from becoming distorted and corrupted by seeing her true form.
Gazing at the two figures who had suddenly appeared, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon immediately snapped back to his senses: They were Cultivators!
He just didn’t know what their relationship was with the Immortal Mother Hall?
With thoughts racing, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon immediately said, “May I ask your names, Seniors?”
Pei Ling and Princess Zhuangshu did not respond.
Just now, Pei Ling had followed the True Immortal Will and roughly surveyed the believers under the names of “Ning,” “Fu,” “Di,” and “Yan.”
Among them, the believers under “Fu” Immortal were the fewest and the most normal; most of “Di” Immortal’s believers were fishermen making a living at sea, and there were also some large coastal clans. Although they were enthusiastic about worshipping “Di” Immortal, they had turned the sacrificial process into a famous grand ceremony and were very exclusive towards other Mortals who did not worship “Di” Immortal, but overall, there was no great evil.
The Du Xian Society under “Ning” Immortal, due to the bizarre deaths of its founder Ye Hui and many high-ranking members, had fragmented into scattered forces, as the remaining individuals lacked a convincing leader.
While there were indeed evildoers among them, they merely occupied certain areas and extorted wealth, no longer posing a significant threat.
As for Pei Ling’s believers, those truly heinous individuals under the “Yan” Immortal had long been used by him for cultivation.
Now, those who continued to spread his name were mostly connected to the False Dynasty…
Thinking this, Pei Ling immediately transmitted, “I want to use Extinguish Lotus Old Demon as a sacrifice.”
Princess Zhuangshu, upon hearing this, immediately shook her head and said, “No!”
Upon hearing this, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon immediately found the Princess’s voice very familiar. Soon after, he quickly remembered that the being who had previously invaded his Sea of Consciousness was precisely this voice!
Realizing this, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon’s pupils sharply contracted, and he felt a bone-chilling coldness suddenly shoot up from his tailbone.
Fallen Immortal Will!
This was not a Small World at all, but a Fallen Immortal Dream Realm!
He had thought he had completely resolved the previous Sea of Consciousness invasion, forcing that wisp of the Fallen Immortal’s Will out of his Sea of Consciousness, but he never expected that he had actually been ensnared long ago, without even realizing it!
This must be an Xian Family technique; otherwise, he wouldn’t have had even the slightest inkling.
Thinking of this, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon hastily transmitted, “Senior! I have a method that can help your true body awaken, it’s absolutely real! As long as Senior…”
Before he could finish, he suddenly stiffened, like an insect encased in invisible amber, unable to utter another word.
Princess Zhuangshu didn’t even glance at Extinguish Lotus Old Demon, continuing to speak to Pei Ling: “This one, and the other Mortals who survived the slaughter in Du’e Abyss, are all to be sacrifices for my true body. They are very important and cannot be given to you.”
Seeing that the True Immortal Will refused to agree, Pei Ling was immediately somewhat disappointed. Just as he was about to look for other sacrifices, the door of the underground palace suddenly opened, and ten brightly dressed women entered, laughing.
Behind them followed a group of strangely shaped children, who were precisely the offspring Extinguish Lotus Old Demon had just produced.
“The offspring born of that evil person are indeed formidable!” A large eight-fold k’o-ssi screen depicting “Four Seasons Flowers, Talented Scholars, and Beautiful Ladies” stood at the main entrance of the underground palace. The women, initially unaware of Pei Ling and the Princess, continued their earlier conversation. “We just tested them casually, and they could easily tear that so-called False Dynasty general, who was said to have the strength of ten thousand men, to shreds!”
“Hmph! Men are all wild dogs, not a single one is good!”
“Now that this one is killed, we hope the False Dynasty will be sensible. If they send people to disturb us again, we’ll let the children directly kill their entire family.”
“With such powerful offspring now, why should we still care about the False Dynasty’s opinion? I say, why not sacrifice to the ‘Yue’ Immortal one more time, let the evil person bear more offspring, and then we directly overthrow the False Dynasty, ascend the throne, and rule as empresses? Wouldn’t that make the ‘Yue’ Immortal the true orthodoxy of the world?”
“Exactly! The ‘Yue’ Immortal is so benevolent, it is only right that she becomes the only Immortal Official worshipped by the entire world! Other so-called Immortals cannot compare to the ‘Yue’ Immortal at all!”
“Sisters, the offspring produced by the evil person are already so formidable, what do you think our strength would be like if we could bear offspring for the ‘Yue’ Immortal?”
“By then, the entire world will be ours!”
“All men will grovel at our feet like wild dogs, and we can kill them however we please!”
Pei Ling frowned upon hearing this. Wantonly killing the innocent, acting recklessly, and even wanting to incite a great war across the land—these few individuals in charge of the Immortal Mother Hall, whom he had just saved, immediately turned to evil. How were their actions any different from those of Extinguish Lotus Old Demon and his ilk?
At this moment, amidst the shuffling of footsteps, the women turned past the screen and also saw Pei Ling and Princess Zhuangshu. They were startled for a moment, then immediately reacted.
“Where did these wild dogs come from?! How dare you trespass into the Immortal Mother Hall!” One of the women immediately glared, her Aura menacing, and she scolded, “Another stinking man, simply defiling the purity of the Immortal Mother Hall’s underground palace! Children, quickly tear him to shreds for me!”
The woman standing beside her snorted coldly: “And that woman, so young and not learning well, what future is there in following a man like a wild dog? Let her stay and receive the ‘Yue’ Immortal’s grace, and bear seventeen or eighteen sons for us!”
“Don’t waste words with them, children! Tear the man to shreds, and bring the woman over to await judgment!”
Listening to their mothers’ urging, the numerous offspring who had just been swaggering and invincible, looked at Pei Ling with eyes full of fear, not daring to breathe, and completely unwilling to move a single inch.
The women frowned: “Children, hurry up!”
“Why are you all dawdling so much? Hurry! Go up and tear them to shreds!”
“Just like how you dealt with that False Dynasty general earlier, it’s very simple, hurry…”
As they spoke, their expressions suddenly froze, and then they all fell silent, unable to make any sound.
After subduing these ten women with the Bewitching Soul Divine Power, Pei Ling transmitted to Princess Zhuangshu, “The sacrifices have been chosen.”
Princess Zhuangshu nodded: “Alright.”
“Come with me.”
As she spoke, she had already torn open a Void Realm, and Pei Ling followed closely behind, stepping into it.

The few remaining torches stuck on the wall emitted a dim yellow light, which not only failed to dispel the surrounding gloom but, as the flames flickered, instead created a shadowy, eerie sensation.
The dark, damp underground palace was suddenly left with only Extinguish Lotus Old Demon.
His heart sank slightly. His Foundation was damaged, which was a minor issue; he needed to find a way to wake up quickly!
Staying in the Fallen Immortal Dream Realm would only lead to death.
Especially since this Fallen Immortal had already awakened part of its Will.
“The one next to the Fallen Immortal Will should be that little Soul Transformation cultivator from back then.”
“He is highly regarded by the Fallen Immortal Will.”
“The Fallen Immortal Will showed no interest in the method I just mentioned, most likely because that junior truly possesses some technique that can make its main body awaken prematurely.”
“If nothing goes wrong, Yuan Changzhen, Luan Qiaoqing, Zuo Jingxing... and even Wenren Lingse, should all be in this dreamland right now!”
“Now, I must first leave this Immortal Mother Hall!”
Thinking of this, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon began to struggle skillfully, while strenuously wriggling his body, looking around for a place where he could break the ropes.
※ ※ ※
Fallen Immortal Dream Realm.
Hundred Flowers Mountain.
Back mountain.
This place was a Royal garden, always heavily guarded. Anyone who approached without reason was to be killed without mercy.
Therefore, few people came here.
Now, in a clump of bushes on the back mountain, Wenren Lingse's right hand was still tightly grasping the Evil Slaying Banner, as she stood motionless on a lush patch of grass.
Even though she had entered the dreamland, she still retained only her last breath of Qi, without recovering any consciousness.
Above the bushes, the Void Realm shook for a moment, and suddenly, Pei Ling, Princess Zhuangshu, and ten Immortal Mother Hall administrators appeared.
As soon as he stepped out, Pei Ling immediately scanned Wenren Lingse with his Divine Thought. Seeing that everything was normal, just like in the real world, he secretly felt relieved.
However, the Evil Slaying Banner in her hand showed no movement at all at this moment.
Princess Zhuangshu slowly said, “You can begin.”
Pei Ling nodded. The Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse could greatly increase the Foundation and background of the recipient by offering sacrifices to living beings.
If the recipient was in poor condition, this method could also be used for comprehensive replenishment.
However, there was no free lunch in this world.
While accepting this sacrifice, one also had to bear the wishes and obsessions of the offerings.
Moreover, if one's will was not firm, they would be immediately Possessed after being afflicted by this curse!
And judging from Qiao Ciguang, whom Pei Ling had personally witnessed bearing the Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse before, Wenren Lingse’s will was as firm as steel, so Possession was impossible, but there might be a slight side effect...
However, this was the only way Pei Ling could save Wenren Lingse at the moment.
If this were the real world instead of a dream, to prevent his Cultivation from being too low to save Wenren Lingse, he would choose to use the System for Hosting to enhance the effect of the Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse.
But now, Pei Ling had an Immortal position bestowed upon him; even a powerful being like Extinguish Lotus Old Demon couldn't withstand a single word from him.
The Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse he was about to cast would surely have its power, like his Cultivation, boosted by millions of times, so he wasn't afraid of not being able to save Wenren Lingse.
Moreover, using the System for Hosting now had a major drawback: he couldn't control the target of the spell at all.
The System would most likely directly sacrifice to the True Immortal Will, just like before...
Thinking of this, Pei Ling no longer hesitated. He immediately circulated his Cultivation Technique and cast the Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse.
Under the effect of the Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse, the ten women from the Immortal Mother Hall immediately stepped forward and surrounded Wenren Lingse. Their eyes were now unfocused, like puppets.
As Pei Ling cast the spell, soon, the ten women stomped their feet and raised their sleeves, beginning to dance a bizarre and frenzied dance.
Wide sleeves whirled, skirts billowed, their expressions bewildered and vacant.
This dance seemed to have evolved from ancient sacrificial dances, filled with various strange and eerie movements.
As they danced wildly, their figures gradually dissipated.
At the same time, Wenren Lingse's vitality, Qi, and magical power... all rapidly grew at a visible speed.
※ ※ ※
The sea wind whistled, and waves crashed.
In the distance, a few seagulls danced over the silver scales, drawing soft arcs in the air.
Sea Wind City.
A scene of utter desolation.
The rich smell of blood, even the slightly salty sea breeze blowing in, could not dispel that sticky, damp, sweet scent...
Yuan Changzhen's tattered robes were already soaked with bloodstains, his long hair disheveled, and warm blood still dripped from his fingertips.
He stood expressionlessly on the beach, which had turned a reddish-brown, facing the “Emperor” Immortal Stone statue he had just shattered.
On the beach, fresh corpses lay strewn about. As far as the eye could see, bodies covered the ground, and blood had already permeated the soil and sand, flowing towards the sea.
The originally blue sea now had a small patch of crimson near the shore, and it was still spreading.
Looking around, Yuan Changzhen snorted coldly. Moments ago, after he angrily shattered this so-called “Emperor” Immortal Stone statue, these ignorant Mortals immediately clamored, actually wanting to capture him as a sacrifice to the “Emperor” Immortal. They were simply courting death!
Because of this, he had no choice but to slaughter the entire city!
Under normal circumstances, as the former Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince of the Liulan Imperial Dynasty, and having once served in the cabinet as a Prime Minister, governing the common people, viewing Mortals as his Foundation, and pitying the poor and weak, he would not easily lay hands on the Human Race.
But these pig-dog-like beings who groveled before the Yao Race and revered them as Immortals did not deserve to be human!!!
His Divine Thought spread out mightily, confirming that there were no living souls left in the entire city. Yuan Changzhen flicked his sleeve, about to leave directly, when suddenly, a powerful sense of fear arose in his heart.
It was as if, in the ethereal realm, some terrifying existence that he absolutely could not resist, and could not even bear a single word or cold snort from, was quietly watching him.
His complexion immediately changed drastically. Before he could think too much, he suddenly felt as if all the strength in his body had been completely drained away. He instantly became incredibly weak, almost immediately collapsing to the ground, unable to even stand.
Just then, dust rolled in the distance, and thunderous hoofbeats approached.
In a moment, a troop of brightly armored, vigorous knights galloped forth.
“Whoa!”
The leading knight only glanced around before erupting in extreme anger: “Sea Wind City has hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, nearly half of whom are innocent women and children. You, villain, what grudge or hatred do you bear to commit such a heinous act, slaughtering an entire city?!”
“City-slaughtering villain! All my men, follow me now to apprehend him!”
“Put him in the stocks, escort him to the Imperial Capital, imprison him in the Imperial Prison, and await his slow slicing at autumn execution to appease the many wronged souls of Sea Wind City!”
“Apprehend him!!” The other knights, seeing the horrific scene around them, responded in unison. They immediately drew the long swords from their waists; the gleaming, sharp blades, like frost and lightning, reflected countless cold gleams. Using the momentum of their galloping mounts, they fiercely slashed at Yuan Changzhen.
Yuan Changzhen wanted to resist, but he was utterly powerless. His Meridians were empty of magical power, not even a single drop existed, and his Physical Body was so weak that entering the Dao seemed like just a dream. He could only watch helplessly as these Mortal knights, whom he could normally turn to ash with a single thought, charged forward. They first cut his limbs with their blades, ensuring he couldn't resist, then knocked him down with the flat of their swords.
Immediately after, two knights dismounted and, like wolves, shackled him with a large set of cangues and chains. Then, they tied him up tightly and dragged him away with ropes behind a horse.
Chapter 949: Punishing the Nightmare. (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
Fallen Immortal Dream Realm.
Imperial Prison.
Pushing open the large door carved with Bian's head, what greeted their eyes was a small hall. Tallow torches burned on the walls, and various torture instruments were placed on wooden shelves around, covered in dark purple stains and emitting a stale, Fishy smell smell.
The flickering flames dispelled the darkness within the door, illuminating the clean yet gloomy surroundings.
Beyond the hall, further inside, after layers of locks, was a deep, narrow corridor with cells lining both sides.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
The patter of rain gradually faded into the distance.
Accompanied by a steady pace, Luan Qiaoqing, Luo Du, Zuo Jingxing, and the Qingyao Great Demon walked through the empty Imperial Prison. Their Divine Thought swept across, not detecting any living beings, which immediately filled their hearts with doubt.
The exterior of this prison looked normal, but why was its interior devoid of both prisoners and guards?
This was truly a bit strange...
However, their purpose for this trip was merely to await the appearance of the 'Nightmare' Immortal. Any issues with this prison were irrelevant to them.
"Everyone, if the 'Nightmare' Immortal happens to possess a Void Realm map of this vicinity, then that would naturally be ideal," Luan Qiaoqing said as he walked. "But if not, then we can only go to other places to gather clues."
"I wonder if any of you have any ideas?"
Zuo Jingxing said in a deep voice, "We are newcomers and know too little about this Small World. Whether or not the 'Nightmare' Immortal has a Void Realm map, his ability to spread his fame here and have the Imperial Prison serve as a place for his sacrifices shows that his status and knowledge are among the best in this world."
"At that time, we will immediately perform a soul search on him."
"Who knows, this Small World might contain cultivation resources that we are currently unaware of."
"This way, we won't have come all this way for nothing."
"Pseudo-Dao's intentions are malicious. Since Due Abyss was exiled to the Yu Wai Void, this place is very likely extremely far from the Pan Ya World!" Luo Du said. "This Small World is so close, it's very possible that there are no clues here to return to the Pan Ya World, or even that the so-called clues to return to the Pan Ya World here have been tampered with and will only lead us in the wrong direction."
"In short, it's best not to venture into the Void Realm rashly without full preparation."
The Qingyao Great Demon stroked his chin and said sinisterly, "What about Extinguish Lotus Old Demon? And where is Yuan Changzhen?"
"These two, one is the strongest in Due Abyss, and the other originated from Pseudo-Dao. They understand Pseudo-Dao's intentions better than we do."
"If they are also here, we can discuss this properly."
"Now that we have this Small World as a supply, there is no conflict between us."
"The most urgent matter is to return to the Pan Ya World."
"To use your Human Race's words, now is the time to work together with one heart."
Just as they were discussing, the prison door behind them was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a group of prisoners in old, blood-stained clothes were escorted in.
These prisoners looked numb, allowing the Jailers to lead them, stumbling forward without any resistance. At first glance, they all appeared to be of the Human Race, but upon closer inspection, fluffy ears and tails, scales, and sharp claws were everywhere, revealing them all to be non-Human Races.
Seeing this, Luan Qiaoqing and his group frowned, about to drive everyone out, when suddenly, their cultivation seemed to vanish without a trace, and they couldn't use a single bit of spiritual power!
At the same time, their tempered Dao Body rapidly weakened, quickly becoming like Mortals before they entered the Dao, with no strength left.
The three Cultivators and one Demon immediately changed their expressions drastically, completely unaware of what had happened?!
At this moment, several Jailers, escorting prisoners, walked to the depths of the corridor and immediately noticed the three Cultivators and one Demon who stood out from the crowd of prisoners. One Jailer immediately frowned: "Why are there four extra people here?"
Another Jailer, who followed closely behind, said indifferently: "They might be offerings that other brothers sent to the 'Nightmare' Immortal."
"Don't worry about it so much," the leading Jailer said in a deep voice. "The 'Nightmare' Immortal will be here soon to receive the offerings. We just need to do our own job."
As they spoke, they took out a large bunch of keys from their waists, opened the cells on both sides of the corridor, and grumbling, herded the prisoners in like livestock, then heavily locked the doors.
The three Cultivators and one Demon were knocked around by the crowd, but no one paid them any mind.
After a while, the Jailers had locked all the prisoners they brought into cells. They glanced at the three Cultivators and one Demon, hesitated for a moment, and then found an empty cell, pushed them in, and locked the door.
Confirming that no prisoners were missed, the Jailers put away their keys and turned to leave.
It was only then that the three Cultivators and one Demon realized something. They exchanged glances, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.
To simultaneously Seal the cultivation of three high-level Cultivators and one great Demon with Qingyao Bloodline, what kind of power did that 'Nightmare' Immortal possess?!
"Escape!" Zuo Jingxing immediately said, then quickly walked towards the cell door.
Luan Qiaoqing, Luo Du, and the Qingyao Great Demon immediately followed, but their strength was completely Sealed. Facing a two-inch thick door, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't budge it in the slightest.
A moment later, confirming that their struggles were futile, the expressions of the three Cultivators and one Demon all turned grim.
※※※
Starlight like frost, cold and vast.
In the boundless starry sky, three cold and eerie gazes pierced through layers of obstruction, observing the encounters of Extinguish Lotus Old Demon, Yuan Changzhen, Luan Qiaoqing, Luo Du, Zuo Jingxing, and the Qingyao Great Demon in the Human Realm.
"Six outsiders!"
"But... why no Immortal position?"
In the cold starry sky, a grand voice, inaudible to Mortals, resounded, "I don't know, their cultivation in the real world is very high!"
"These six people are not important. The current problem is that the 'Nightmare' Immortal has entered the Dreamland again!"
"Last time, the 'Nightmare' Immortal's frequent sacrifices almost woke up the Fallen Immortal. This time, he must be stopped as soon as possible!"
"The 'Nightmare' Immortal is protected by the Fallen Immortal Will, so we cannot act. We can only send someone to the real world to kill him!"
"These six outsiders happen to be excellent candidates."
"With their strength, the 'Nightmare' Immortal's Physical Body in the real world could be extinguished with a flick of a finger."
"Outsiders, whether of the Human Race or Yao Race, cannot be trusted! Especially these six, whose cultivation is extremely high in the real world. They haven't fallen into true despair yet, so they might not be willing to cooperate with us."
"Even if they agree to cooperate, they are very likely to harbor deceitful intentions and malicious schemes."
"Wait!"
"Wait until they are close to death, with no other way out, no other hope, and complete despair descends. At that time, we will make our move."
"That's right!"
"This time, we cannot fail again!"

Chapter 950: Lifesaver. (First update! Please subscribe!)
Hundred Flowers Mountain.
Back mountain.
Lush vegetation, fragrant green leaves.
Pei Ling stood in the air, his hands continuously forming incantations, and within his pupils, the Nan Ke Dream Fire slowly flickered, emitting a strange glow.
Princess Zhuangshu stood not far away, her hands clasped over her lower abdomen, quietly watching this scene. Her posture was elegant, and the ornaments around her body were completely silent.
The ten women were still wildly dancing to a strange rhythm. At this moment, their hair was disheveled, their hairpins askew, and their carefully maintained black hair was matted to their faces with sweat, making them look particularly disheveled and even more frantic.
Their expressions had all fallen into confusion. By now, the women could no longer conceal their thoughts, continuously murmuring their respective obsessions: "'Yue' Immortal is benevolent! If this devout woman did not have the protection of 'Yue' Immortal, how could a mere weak woman wield great power and control life and death?! Now, with endless glory and wealth, and all men in the world like swine, summoned and dismissed at will… The grace of 'Yue' Immortal is impossible to repay. This devout woman is willing to bear children for 'Yue' Immortal…"
"This devout woman has been deeply blessed by the Saint, but the children under her knees have reached their limit in protecting this devout woman as a human sovereign. This devout woman prays to bear children for the Immortal, to henceforth live forever and remain eternally youthful…"
"Thanks to the Immortal's profound love, this devout woman has already tasted the flavors of all the handsome men in the world. Only serving the Immortal, what kind of feeling is that? I do not know… I beg the Immortal to grant my wish…"
"I humbly pray… May the Immortal have pity and grant a night of passion. If I can become pregnant and bear a child, this devout woman is willing to repay it for a hundred generations, even as a humble beast…"
As they danced frantically, they muttered, and by this point, their bodies had largely dissipated.
Wenren Lingse, standing in the center, frowned deeply. The lifelong obsessions of the ten women continuously impacted her subconscious mind.
She was a Dao Integration Cultivator. Under normal circumstances, the obsessions of Mortals, no matter how strong, could not affect her in the slightest.
However, this place was an Immortal's dream, and the so-called Mortals in the dream were not truly Mortals!
Moreover, the Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse, inherited from the “Zhou” Legacy, was activated by a secret method that drew upon the Laws of the Great Dao, making it extraordinarily profound.
Not to mention, Pei Ling currently had an Immortal position bestowed upon him, and the power of the Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse had been enhanced by an unknown number of times.
Furthermore, Wenren Lingse was currently in a coma, and thus, had no power to resist.
Time passed bit by bit…
Finally, with the last beat, all ten women vanished, and ten sets of dresses, hairpins, and rings fell from the air.
At this moment, Wenren Lingse's Aura and vitality also reached their peak.
Her face, which had originally been struggling and seemingly resisting external obsessions with all her might, suddenly became calm and peaceful at this moment.
The wishes and obsessions of the sacrifices had already become part of her Dao Heart!
Immediately, Wenren Lingse's figure, along with the Zhue Flag, vanished into thin air in the dream.
Seeing Wenren Lingse disappear, Pei Ling frowned slightly. Had she been saved by him? Or had she perished?
At this moment, he heard Princess Zhuangshu say, "Your task is complete. You can now make a sacrifice for my true body."
Hearing the True Immortal Will speak, Pei Ling immediately understood that Wenren Lingse should have been successfully cured by him…
Thinking of this, he nodded slightly: "Good."
※ ※ ※
Eternal Night Desert.
Nine stone pillars stood silently, and violent lightning coursed across the sky, striking down from time to time.
The blood-colored coffin suspended in mid-air trembled occasionally under the might of heaven.
However, a already opened crack allowed an endless stream of viscous darkness to pour out, continuously weakening the force of the heavenly thunder's bombardment.
Purple lightning streaked across the sky, briefly illuminating the dense figures beneath the Nine Pillars.
These people included both different races and Human Race, all dazed and disoriented, standing upright on the sand beneath the Nine Pillars.
At the very front were Extinguish Lotus Old Demon, Yuan Changzhen, Luan Qiaoqing, Luo Du, Zuo Jingxing, Azure Billow Great Demon, Wenren Lingse, Pei Ling, and Mo Li Lan.
Boom!!
Angry thunder roared, seemingly endless lightning piercing through the thick, almost solid darkness, briefly illuminating silhouettes.
Beneath the rolling thunder, the Eternal Night Desert seemed to be sleeping in an eternal nightmare that would never awaken, utterly silent.
The blood-colored coffin, rolling with the might of heaven, floated up and down in mid-air, appearing gloomy and eerie. An inexplicable pressure filled the entire desert, as if everything had been solidified at this moment.
Suddenly, Wenren Lingse's eyes snapped open!
Feeling the surging vitality within her body and her completely recovered injuries, she was stunned for a moment. She wasn't dead?
But the next moment, her gaze quickly swept over the stone pillars, chains, and blood-colored coffin before her, and her expression instantly changed: Nether Sky Mist, Fallen Immortal ruins!
This was the Eternal Night Desert!
How did she end up in the Eternal Night Desert?!
With thoughts racing, Wenren Lingse immediately looked around to observe her surroundings. Soon, she discovered that her left hand was firmly gripping the Zhue Flag, the veins on the back of her hand bulging from the force.
On the sand not far to her right, a familiar halberd was diagonally embedded in the ground; it was her Lifebound Treasure, the Frost Candle Halberd.
Just then, the Zhue Flag's surface moved slightly, and a small figure emerged.
The Flag Spirit stood in the air, its blood-colored battle skirt fluttering in the wind, its delicate small face full of solemnity. It tilted its head slightly, its ponytail tracing a brief arc in the air, and it looked at Wenren Lingse, asking, "Wenren Lingse, how are you now?"
Wenren Lingse quickly bowed: "Senior Evil Exterminator, I feel very well now."
The Zhue Flag's Flag Spirit immediately relaxed. Although that little Soul Transformation Cultivator had no self-awareness and was inherently greedy, he had indeed saved Wenren Lingse this time.
Though he lacked benevolence, he did not lack integrity, and it was not in vain that it had made that promise back then…
Thinking of this, Evil Exterminator immediately said, "You did very well this time! At the critical moment, you sacrificed yourself for righteousness, and facing many powerful enemies, you fought to the death even though you knew you were outmatched. Such integrity, such solitary courage, aligns very well with my Dao."
"Now you have met my conditions for recognition, and I am willing to become your Magic Treasure and ascend the long Dao with you."
Wenren Lingse hesitated slightly, then said, "Thank you for your profound love, Senior! But may I ask who saved me this time?"
"It was a Soul Transformation Cultivator whose name I haven't asked yet," the Flag Spirit said. "However, you don't need to thank him. Because this was exchanged for my promise to be at his command for three years, so you'll have to wait for me for three years. After three years, I will come find you."
Soul Transformation Cultivator?
Wenren Lingse immediately found it strange. She was very clear about how severely wounded she had been at the time.
Let alone a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator, even a Dao Integration Cultivator like herself might not have been able to save her!
Thinking of this, she glanced at the blood-colored coffin suspended between the Nine Pillars, knowing that it was not advisable to stay here long, but she immediately said, "Senior, please take me to see that Soul Transformation Cultivator."
"No matter what, I must know who my benefactor is."
"Okay!" The Flag Spirit immediately nodded. This was not a big deal in its opinion, and it had spent many years in Due Abyss, becoming very familiar with Wenren Lingse. It knew this Dao Integration Cultivator's disposition well; since she had acknowledged this favor, she would definitely not leave without clarifying the identity of that little Soul Transformation Cultivator.
"Follow me," the Flag Spirit continued, then flew out of Wenren Lingse's palm, transforming into a blood-colored streak of light, and vanished into the darkness, leading the way.
Wenren Lingse immediately followed.
The Eternal Night Desert was shrouded in the Nether Sky Mist, preventing Cultivators' Divine Thought from extending. Even at a short distance, it was difficult to see everything clearly through the dense, almost solid darkness.
The Zhue Flag did not fly far before stopping at a certain spot.
Wenren Lingse stopped with it, and then saw a young Cultivator, enveloped in a blood-red Evil Qi, standing beneath one of the stone pillars. His eyes were currently closed, evidently not yet awakened.
His black robe fluttered, and he carried a long saber on his back. His face appeared stern, and his Aura was ferocious and tyrannical, clearly indicating countless slaughters to have cultivated such a terrifying Aura, overflowing with Evil Qi and blood Qi almost solidified.
Saint of Chongming Sect!?
Chapter 951: The Heart of Tao is Like This. (Second update! Please subscribe!)
Wenren Lingse was stunned. Originally, with her Cultivation and status, she wouldn't pay much attention to a junior like the current generation's newly promoted Saint of Chongming Sect.
However, this Demonic Sect Saint named Pei Ling had become famous throughout the Pan Ya World due to his deeds, so much so that no one was unaware of him.
Even his appearance and image had spread throughout the world and were widely known.
Therefore, she recognized his identity at a glance.
After knowing who saved her, Wenren Lingse quickly regained her composure. She slowly walked closer to Pei Ling. For some reason, even though they belonged to opposing Righteous Path and Demonic sects and had never met before, the first time she saw this Saint of Chongming Sect, a very strange thought arose in her heart.
She was a Grand Elder of Yanxi City, Si Yuan of Due Abyss, and held great prestige in the Righteous Path, while the person before her was a Demonic Path Prodigy, infamous among the Righteous Path, and naturally her enemy. They should have been mortal enemies...
As she thought about it, that strange thought in Wenren Lingse's heart grew stronger and stronger, and even her breathing became slightly hurried.
She suddenly closed her eyes, and after a moment, said, "Senior Evil Exterminator, could you please step aside? I have some matters to attend to."
The Flag Spirit of the Evil Slaying Banner nodded and said, "Alright."
With that, it returned into the banner, and the Evil Slaying Banner flew up again, transforming into a streak of blood-red light, disappearing into the darkness in an instant.
Watching the Evil Slaying Banner leave, Wenren Lingse's breathing became even more rapid, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes were moist.
She immediately calmed her heart and mind, feeling her Dao Heart, and soon got closer and closer to Pei Ling, eventually pressing directly against his Physical Body.
His robes were soft, his chest broad. The fierce Evil Qi that she once detested so much now held a different kind of attraction. She greedily inhaled the Aura from his Physical Body, and her Dao Heart gradually became firmer.
For a moment, an uncontrollable urge to merge with him immediately arose in her heart!
However, after a moment of intoxication, Wenren Lingse suddenly frowned: This sensation... The other party was Dr. Wu, who had molested her that day!
She suddenly came back to her senses, and her heart was instantly filled with rage.
Demonic Path scoundrel!
Due Abyss had already shattered, yet this fiend was still alive!
While thinking this, Wenren Lingse half-knelt. In the battle where she single-handedly fended off the demons, her close-fitting soft armor was damaged. Now, with one knee on the ground, her shocking curves were completely exposed. Her waist was slender and flexible, like a spring willow branch. The pure white and crystal clear skin revealed through the damaged soft armor resembled silver ripples under the warm spring sun, gently swaying and exuding the unique vitality of spring, reminding one of the flourishing of all plants and the lush growth of flowers.
Wenren Lingse's breathing became even more rapid, and her fair complexion gradually became covered with a blushing flush. Doing this was very inappropriate!
Especially since the other party had publicly molested her before.
However, this was her Dao Heart...
Thinking of this, Wenren Lingse secretly glanced around again, confirming that the Evil Slaying Banner had already left and no living beings nearby would see her, then she clumsily began to untie Pei Ling's belt...
***Fallen Immortal Dream Realm.***
Imperial Prison.
Armored guards stood solemnly at the entrance, their swords and spears like a forest, and a chilling atmosphere permeated the area.
Passersby nearby were all in a hurry, no one daring to linger here.
The Void Realm rippled, and Pei Ling and Princess Zhuangshu appeared at the bottom of the stone steps.
The guards at the gate immediately knelt in salute, then reported, "Immortal, Your Highness, the sacrifices have all been arranged."
Princess Zhuangshu nodded slightly and walked inside.
The armored guards respectfully opened the door for her.
The Princess and Pei Ling walked slowly inside, turning past a wide screen wall, revealing a very spacious courtyard within.
The two continued without stopping, passing through the courtyard and corridors, finally arriving at a tall gate. This gate was carved with Bian, exuding a murderous Aura.
After opening it, inside was a small hall filled with torture instruments. At the end of the small hall was a deep, narrow passageway.
On both sides of the passageway were small, narrow doorways, all of which were prison cells.
At this moment, the breathing sounds were heavy, clearly indicating that there were quite a number of prisoners confined within.
Inside a certain prison cell, Luan Qiaoqing, Luo Du, Zuo Jingxing, and the Azure Billow Great Demon had solemn expressions.
They had tried all methods, but none could open the door of the prison cell in front of them. At this moment, they suddenly heard the lock of the outer gate fall, and then a man and a woman walked in.
The man's face was hidden by a hood, and his entire Physical Body was tightly wrapped, so only his gender could be determined from his figure; nothing else could be seen. The woman, on the other hand, had Phoenix eyes and vermilion lips, her skin as fair as snow. Her attire was luxurious, with golden hairpins and jade bracelets, a bright pearl at her waist, and emerald bangles on her arms. Although there was still a hint of childishness in her brows, her dignified appearance, due to her innate nobility, did not appear vulgar at all, only graceful and charming.
Luan Qiaoqing and his group immediately frowned; these two were clearly neither Jailers nor prisoners!
"This young woman is dressed lavishly, and observing her demeanor, she has been accustomed to giving orders for a long time. She should be a member of an official family, or an official herself," Luan Qiaoqing quickly transmitted to his companions. "As for the man, his appearance is completely hidden. I wonder if he is that 'Nightmare' Immortal?"
Luo Du mused, "If he is indeed that 'Nightmare' Immortal, I wonder what kind of bargaining chip we'll need to offer for him to let us leave."
After looking around, Zuo Jingxing frowned slightly: "Let's wait and see. This Small World is a bit off..."
The Azure Billow Great Demon didn't speak, her eyes flickering as she observed the newcomers.
The three men and one demon all showed caution.
At this moment, Pei Ling was slowly walking towards the depths of the passageway when he suddenly felt something touch his chest, a soft and gentle sensation...
He was stunned. Someone in reality had touched his Physical Body!
However, before he could figure out what exactly was happening, an electric-like sensation of pleasure spread throughout his entire Physical Body!
The next moment, Pei Ling almost stumbled directly in the dream. He quickly stopped.
"Wait... wait a moment!" Pei Ling said with a very unnatural expression.
Upon hearing this, Princess Zhuangshu merely gave him a faint glance, but said nothing, silently stopping beside Pei Ling.
The alien prisoners in the cells on both sides of the passageway showed no reaction to Pei Ling's voice, but the three men and one demon suddenly trembled!
They felt a chaotic, depraved, tyrannical, and insane babbling explode directly in their minds!
Their will almost instantly disintegrated, and their bodies began to distort uncontrollably. Flesh, bones, thoughts... frantically stretched, rotated, and proliferated, rapidly degenerating towards an unknown direction.
Just at this moment, a sudden surge of powerful energy, cold, strange, and vast, swiftly poured into their bodies.
Wherever this power reached, it quickly stopped their distortion, and even their Cultivation Realm instantly soared. Soon, it seemed to have increased ten millionfold, a world of difference from their previous strength!
The three men and one demon were startled, not yet knowing what had happened, when they all heard an aged voice in their ears: "If you don't want to die, do as we say!"
At the same time, Princess Zhuangshu immediately said, "Act!"
Pei Ling's expression was stiff. He didn't know what was happening in reality, but at the moment, a different kind of stimulation was impacting his Physical Body, making him completely unable to concentrate.
Hearing the True Immortal Will's words, he could only brace himself and say, "Alright!"
With that, Pei Ling immediately chanted in his mind: "System, I want to Cultivate. One-click hosting of the Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse."
"Ding-dong! Intelligent Cultivation System is at your service! One-click hosting, intelligent upgrade! Now starting hosted Cultivation, friendly reminder: During Cultivation, the host will lose control of their Physical Body. Please do not panic..."
"Ding-dong! Detecting that Cultivating the Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse requires sacrifices. Detecting sacrifices..."
"Ding-dong! The System will provide you with a batch of excellent sacrifices for free..."
"Ding-dong! Detecting Cauldron attack, the System will continue to Cultivate for you..."
Soon, under a series of inexplicable stimulations and the System's control, Pei Ling used the Bewitching Soul Divine Power to control all living beings in the prison cell, and then began to cast the Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse...

Chapter 952 Under the Night. (Third update! Please subscribe!)
Eternal Night Desert.
The low whispers, like countless people praying anxiously at the same time, slowly echoed.
Deep within.
Nine Stone Pillars stood quietly.
Thunder roared with immense power.
The Heavenly Tribulation chains wrapped around the Nine Stone Pillars continuously chimed, their violet-blue light flashing by, exuding a majestic heavenly might.
Beneath one of the Stone Pillars, electric light occasionally illuminated a figure shrouded in Evil Qi.
Pei Ling stood quietly with his hands behind his back, his eyes tightly shut, still in a deep slumber.
This individual before him was the Saint of Chongming Sect, whose crimes were too numerous to count, truly heinous, and who was even once a prisoner of the Due Abyss's "Tian" Zone!
As a Si Yuan of Due Abyss, she was now 【harmonized 5 characters here】 a prisoner of Due Abyss. This... this was simply unbelievable!
But now, Wenren Lingse didn't know what was wrong with her Dao Heart.
Pei Ling was still asleep at this moment, Evil Qi surging around him, the bloody aura unique to Demonic Path Cultivators as if substantial. Without even touching his skin, just a glance from afar was enough to know that this Saint of Chongming Sect must have slaughtered countless beings and accumulated numerous evil deeds. This was precisely the kind of villain Wenren Lingse had always loathed the most, wishing to kill him quickly!
His crimes would likely be impossible to cleanse even if the entire Wan Hui Sea were used.
The Nine Stone Pillars seemed to have stood since eternity, silently encircling the blood-red coffin suspended in the center.
Viscous darkness, like a pitch-black river, continuously flowed out from the gaps of the coffin, making the entire Eternal Night Desert even more eerie and gloomy.
Streaks of violet lightning streaked across the sky, their cold electric light illuminating shadowy figures.
The tall Stone Pillars, set against the numerous beings appearing as small as ants, all with their eyes tightly shut, slumbering in dreams, stood rigidly in formation.
This scene was silent, eerie, gloomy, and terrifying.
However, sudden abnormal sounds intermittently emerged during the lulls in the thunder, mixed with the bone-deep whispers, becoming increasingly chaotic.
Pei Ling remained in a deep slumber, his eyes tightly shut, showing no signs of opening.
However, at this moment, Pei Ling suddenly raised his hand and began to rapidly form hand seals, as if casting some kind of spell.
Wenren Lingse's movements instantly stiffened, and she looked up at Pei Ling.
She saw Pei Ling's magical power surging like a tide around him, rapidly circulating, indeed casting a spell. However, his eyes remained tightly shut, his consciousness in Chaos, clearly still in a deep slumber.
Immediately after, dozens of non-human beings beside Pei Ling suddenly stepped forward in unison, walking towards the blood-red coffin suspended in mid-air.
These non-human beings had blank expressions, showing no resistance, and slowly walked within the Nine Pillars.
As their figures drew closer to the blood-red coffin, the chains wrapped around the Nine Stone Pillars began to vibrate continuously, seemingly wanting to drive them away.
Rumble...
Above the sky, electric snakes surged, and countless violet-blue lights crashed down.
Numerous chains clanged loudly in unison, and leaping lightning rapidly descended along the chains, striking directly at the coffin.
From within the blood coffin, darkness flowed even more intensely.
Clang, clang, clang... The chains, like thick pythons, continuously coiled and contracted, pulling the coffin, attempting to press it back into the ground.
However, the net-like tribulation lightning covered the entire coffin for a moment, ultimately being eroded away by the viscous darkness.
Everything returned to normal.
Following Pei Ling's hand seals, more and more figures walked forward.
Luan Qiaoqing, Luo Du, Zuo Jingxing, and the Azure Billow Great Demon showed expressions of struggle, seemingly trying their best to wake up.
But in the end, they took the first difficult step, and then, like the many non-human beings beside them, walked into the Nine Pillars...
Boom!!!
A vast thunderclap exploded in mid-air, its dazzling electric light like a sharp sword piercing directly into the Eternal Night, forcibly parting the Nether Sky Mist for a moment. With this brief moment of light, Wenren Lingse finally noticed that the remaining prisoners from the "Tian" Zone were also in the Eternal Night Desert at this moment!
However, whether they were non-human beings or those prisoners from the "Tian" Zone, they were all still trapped in the Fallen Immortal Dream Realm, just like the Saint of Chongming Sect, with no signs of waking up.
Now that Pei Ling had suddenly cast a spell, and with the unusual movements of the non-human beings and the "Tian" Zone prisoners, it was likely that these people had encountered something within the Fallen Immortal Dream Realm...
No!
This was her Dao Heart, she had done nothing wrong!
Yes, for Cultivators like us, following one's Dao Heart is most important.
She didn't need to care about what others thought!
Almost at the same time, the non-human beings who had not yet stepped into the Nine Pillars, along with Luan Qiaoqing, Luo Du, Zuo Jingxing, and the Azure Billow Great Demon, all showed expressions of piety and mechanically began to pray: "The world is full of sins and suffering, the 'Nightmare' Immortal is benevolent, His spirit descends, saving the world and benefiting the people..."
"Worship my 'Nightmare' Immortal, dispel disasters and pray for blessings, and be free from worries forever..."
"This world is precarious, like a stack of eggs, without the 'Nightmare' Immortal, destruction is imminent..."
"'Nightmare' Immortal is merciful, treating all equally..."
"We have long been trapped in disaster, yet did not know it; meeting the 'Nightmare' Immortal is like waking from a dream..."
For a moment, she was both afraid of someone waking up and subtly anticipating something...
Remember to give chicken legs after reading.
Chapter 953: Really Good at Playing! (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
Fallen Immortal Dream Realm.
Imperial Prison.
Within the dim and disorienting passageway, Pei Ling and the Princess stood side by side. In the cells on either side, the breathing of the prisoners gradually faded away.
Soon, in the entire Imperial Prison, only the two of them remained; no other living beings existed.
"Ding-dong! This Cultivation session is complete. Thank you, Host, for using the Intelligent Cultivation System. One-click Hosting, Ascension without worries! We look forward to your Cultivation review. If satisfied, please give us a five-star rating…"
Along with the System's prompt, Pei Ling regained control of his Physical Body.
Beside him, Princess Zhuangshu rarely showed a charming smile. At this moment, this Princess of the Great Liang Kingdom, who originally looked completely like a Mortal, suddenly exuded an indescribable temperament.
It was as if her entire being had been reborn, undergoing a qualitative change.
Her originally bright and clear eyes gradually turned profound.
Princess Zhuangshu smiled and said, "Well done!"
Pei Ling's jawline tightened, and his expression became increasingly unnatural.
He could now confirm with great certainty that a female Cultivator in reality was intimately touching his Physical Body!
Just now, when he used the System to manage the 【Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse】, the System kept prompting about "Cauldron attack," which meant that the female Cultivator must be a Cauldron recognized by the System!
He currently had three Cauldron.
The first was Sect Master's wife, Si Hong Qingyan; the second was Celestial Maiden Yan Minghua of Su Zhen Heaven; and the third was Grand Elder Wenren Lingse of Yanxi City.
These three Cauldron were all forcibly given to him by the System.
In the current situation, Yan Minghua could be ruled out first. Without the System's compulsion, how could a Righteous Path Cultivator be so proactive?
By the same logic, Wenren Lingse was also impossible.
She was the Grand Elder of Yanxi City and Si Yuan of Due Abyss, with a revered status. Even among the Five Righteous Sects, she was one of the most exalted beings and would never lower herself in such a way.
Only Si Hong Qingyan had this possibility!
However, this sensation didn't feel quite right…
With thoughts racing, Pei Ling immediately said, "Something has happened to my Physical Body in reality. Now that the sacrifice promised to Immortal Friend is complete, I must return to reality immediately."
Upon hearing this, Princess Zhuangshu showed hesitation and said, "Immortal Friend, could you wait a moment longer and sacrifice to my main body one more time?"
"This is the last time!"
Pei Ling shook his head; he couldn't wait another moment!
If he waited any longer, the Cauldron would cause a huge commotion!
He needed to get out quickly and properly deal with Si Hong Qingyan.
So, Pei Ling quickly said, "No! I must leave immediately now. I'll help you sacrifice next time."
Princess Zhuangshu's delicate brows furrowed. In the past, she would have directly manipulated him to agree. But after this part of her Will was refined into his Incarnation, she had always been dominated by Pei Ling and rarely regained her freedom.
Therefore, seeing Pei Ling's firm attitude at this moment, and considering that she would need his help for future matters, Princess Zhuangshu finally nodded slightly and said, "Alright."
With that, the Princess lightly flicked her wide sleeve.
The scene before Pei Ling's eyes immediately appeared with countless cracks, like a shattered mirror.
Crack.
With a crisp sound, the entire dream world shattered, and reality appeared before him.
The familiar darkness, the familiar lightning, the familiar Nine Pillars, and… the bloody coffin suspended between the Nine Pillars!
From Pei Ling's current perspective, he couldn't see the other person's face for a moment. He was slightly taken aback; the battle armor on Si Hong Qingyan was very similar to Wenren Lingse's!
Moreover, this battle armor was tattered and worn, truly looking as if it had just participated in the great battle in Due Abyss.
Even her hairstyle had changed to be identical to Wenren Lingse's.
Role-playing as the Grand Elder of Yanxi City, Si Yuan of Due Abyss…
As expected of the Sect Master's wife!
So playful!
※※※
Fallen Immortal Dream Realm.
Starry Sky.
Amidst the cold and brilliant starlight, three Wills were rapidly communicating.
"What's going on?! Why haven't those four outsiders woken up?"
"Something's not right!"
"These four outsiders have exceptionally high Cultivation in the real world. Even in the Nine Great Sects, they must hold significant positions, and their Heart-Nature is extremely resilient and powerful. After obtaining the Immortal positions we separated, they should have woken up immediately! But now, they are performing so poorly, even worse than the two Nascent Soul juniors from last time!"
"Could it be… these four outsiders don't even know this is the Fallen Immortal Dream Realm?"
"Impossible!"
"These are all old monsters who have lived for countless years; it's impossible for them not to know about the Eternal Night Desert."
"Now we have trouble! The Fallen Immortal Will has devoured a part of the Immortal positions we occupied, and its power is becoming complete… It will wake up even faster!"
"Don't worry about that so much. There are still two outsiders. Go and wake them up immediately. We must kill 'Nightmare' as soon as possible!"
Just as they were speaking, before the Three Pillars Immortals could act, a figure suddenly emerged from the Void Realm before them. She was graceful and beautiful, adorned in luxurious clothes and hairpins, with a dignified and elegant demeanor—it was Princess Zhuangshu.
The moment the Three Pillars Immortals saw her, their thoughts suddenly became sluggish.
Princess Zhuangshu watched them coldly.
Soon, the Three Pillars Immortals became dazed. Their thoughts, their ideas, their actions, seemed to be frozen in an instant, like a piece of amber that had completely cooled.
A layer of rattling chains extended from the Void Realm, gradually binding the Three Pillars Immortals.
Immediately after, a team of Jailers suddenly appeared and skillfully led them away like ordinary prisoners, pulling the chains and escorting them into the Human Realm within the dreamland.
Princess Zhuangshu stood with her sleeves clasped, quietly watching this scene.
These Three Pillars Immortals, originally like other Original Immortals, had lost their independent consciousness after being devoured by her dreamland.
However, later they were awakened by external forces and regained their past memories, constantly hindering her awakening.
Therefore, she specifically set up a trap this time, creating a new 【Nether Sky Grand Dream】 and summoning six chess pieces, whose Aptitude in Pan Ya World were quite good. Ultimately, she successfully devoured part of the Immortal positions of the Three Pillars Immortals.
Now, she had used the complete power of her main body after Fusion with the Immortal positions to erase the remaining consciousness of the Three Pillars Immortals!
The next step was to ask Pei Ling to help her sacrifice these Three Pillars Immortals again…

Chapter 954: Don't push your luck. (First update! Please subscribe!)
Thinking of this, Princess Zhuangshu took a step, instantly transitioning from the starry sky into the Human Realm.
In the northern part of the Great Liang Kingdom, heavy snow fell.
On both sides of the wide, long street, luxurious mansions stood silently, arrayed like fish scales.
On the deserted snowy ground, Princess Zhuangshu's figure suddenly appeared.
At this moment, in a nearby alley, a ragged, weakened figure was hurrying in one direction.
Seeing the Princess appear, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon, who had finally escaped the Immortal Mother Hall's main altar, changed his expression and was about to say something, but saw Princess Zhuangshu casually strike a palm at him.
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon was instantly annihilated, body and soul!
"The plan has succeeded, and the extra chess pieces cannot be wasted," Princess Zhuangshu said indifferently. Then, her figure swayed, and she had already left the north, appearing by the coast.
Amidst the sound of waves, on a dirt and gravel road, Jailers escorting prisoners loudly urged them on, shouting and cursing.
Yuan Changzhen, disheveled, was trapped within a prisoner cart, swaying with the movement of the procession.
The Princess, adorned in luxurious clothes and hairpins, appeared abruptly. Immediately after, without giving him any chance to speak, she struck another palm.
The next moment, Yuan Changzhen followed in Extinguish Lotus Old Demon's footsteps, dying and having his Dao vanish!
※ ※ ※
Eternal Night Desert.
Whispers like silkworms devouring leaves, as darkness spread wantonly, Wenren Lingse suddenly felt 【REDACTED 11 characters】.
She was stunned, then immediately realized that the Saint of Chongming Sect had woken up!
Wenren Lingse's expression changed slightly. He had just been trapped in the Fallen Immortal Dream Realm; how did he suddenly wake up?
No!
That's not the point now!
As a Si Yuan of Due Abyss, 【REDACTED 13 characters】, yet she was caught red-handed by this Saint of Chongming Sect. This...
In an instant, Wenren Lingse was extremely frightened, 【REDACTED 6 characters】, but soon, she regained her composure. This was her Dao Heart, so what if he misunderstood?
She was a Grand Elder of Yanxi City, and she always acted with a clear conscience. When did she ever need to care about others' opinions?
At this time, Wenren Lingse 【REDACTED 37 characters】.
With her Cultivator, she could have easily broken free from Pei Ling's restraints.
However, whether it was due to her Dao Heart or some other reason, Wenren Lingse 【REDACTED 18 characters】, but she made no move.
【REDACTED 12 characters】
Lightning occasionally flashed, streaking across the sky.
The Nine Stone Pillars stood silently, the chains wrapped around them rattling, continuously drawing down magnificent heavenly lightning to suppress the blood-colored coffin suspended in mid-air.
However, the whispers in the darkness were incessant, and the darkness from the cracks in the blood-colored coffin flowed out turbulently.
Rustling sounds surged like a tide.
Under the cover of the Nether Sky Mist, the entire Eternal Night Desert was quietly undergoing some kind of change.
Soon, Extinguish Lotus Old Demon, Yuan Changzhen, and all the foreign races near the coffin were suddenly swallowed by the surging darkness, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the Eternal Night Desert began to expand beyond its original boundaries.
Before long, it reached the stone towers set up by the Reincarnation Tower on its outskirts.
The stone tower seemed to sense something, and the bells under its eaves immediately rang without wind, producing urgent sounds.
Immediately after, the entire tower body's runes lit up, and all protective formations automatically activated.
However, the darkness did not stop at all, and in the blink of an eye, it had completely submerged it.
The crisp ringing of the bells only lasted for two breaths in the darkness, then there was no further sound.
As the Nether Sky Mist spread, foreign races emerged from the original Eternal Night Desert, stepping onto the territory of the Reincarnation Tower.
Their expressions were cold, blood light was faintly visible in their eyes, Evil Qi swirled around them, and their killing intent was chilling.
Extinguish Lotus Old Demon, Yuan Changzhen, who had just disappeared, as well as Luan Qiaoqing, Luo Du, Zuo Jingxing, and Azure Billow Great Demon, who had already been sacrificed, also emerged from the viscous, almost corporeal darkness.
However, they seemed to have become different people, completely devoid of reason, with only the most primitive killing intent in their eyes.
Thump, thump, thump...
The crowd stepped on the gravel, quickly crossing sand dunes, heading directly for the nearest town with a clear objective.
※ ※ ※
Below the Nine Stone Pillars.
Who knows how long it passed, 【REDACTED 23 characters】.
A 【REDACTED 18 characters】, 【REDACTED 9 characters】 This experience truly left him wanting more!
Seeing him release her, Wenren Lingse immediately stood up and stepped back, 【REDACTED 10 characters】, her gaze coldly fixed on Pei Ling.
Wénrén Lingse?!
Pei Ling was stunned, his mind unable to process it for a moment.
Just now, 【REDACTED 6 characters】 wasn't Si Hong Qingyan, but Wenren Lingse?
How, how is this possible?!
Although Wenren Lingse had been afflicted by his Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse, Qiao Ciguang, a True Disciple of Su Zhen Heaven, had also been affected by it in the past.
On Tianwai Island, Qiao Ciguang, influenced by the Heart Demon Great Evolution Curse, merely stopped being hostile towards him, 【REDACTED 33 characters】...
Currently, Wenren Lingse's Cultivator strength was far superior to Qiao Ciguang's back then.
Under normal circumstances, the impact should be even smaller.
Moreover, she was someone who abhorred evil...
As his thoughts raced, Pei Ling quickly put on his clothes.
The Eternal Night Desert was shrouded in Nether Sky Mist, and Cultivators' perceptions were greatly restricted. Therefore, he hadn't noticed anything amiss just now.
After all, the darkness here was not the Nether Sky Mist used by an Incarnation, but the Nether Sky Mist of the Fallen Immortal's true body.
Even if a wisp of the Fallen Immortal's Will had been refined into his Incarnation by the System, he was currently only immune to the effects of the eternal night whisper; all his perceptions of the outside world were still very blurry.
However, at this moment, the inexplicable 【REDACTED 23 characters】!
Especially since not long ago, she had subjected him to cruel torture in Due Abyss, tormenting him terribly, and now, in the blink of an eye...
At this moment, Wenren Lingse 【REDACTED 7 characters】, suddenly spoke: "Don't overthink it. This Protector acted this way because of my own Dao Heart."
Dao Heart?
Pei Ling was still mentally coming up with all sorts of reasons for Wenren Lingse's actions, such as the Fallen Immortal Will secretly manipulating things, or his own Immortal position at the time, which increased the Curse's power by countless times, or...
But a Dao Heart...
Thinking of this, he cleared his throat, too lazy to delve into the intricacies, and spoke earnestly: "For us Cultivators, the Dao Heart is paramount. Our escape from Due Abyss this time can be considered enduring hardship together."
"I am willing to help you fully mend your Dao Heart!"
Wenren Lingse snorted coldly and said, "You saved this Protector just now; otherwise, even with my Dao Heart, at most I wouldn't have killed you just now, but it would have been absolutely impossible for me to have any intimate actions with you."
"However, don't push your luck."
"This Protector will, at most, help you give birth to ten..."
Chapter 955: Bold villain! Let go of the master! (Second update! Please subscribe!)
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling's face was momentarily stunned. Ten children?!
Before he could react, Wenren Lingse 【redacted 17 characters here】, and in her delicate collarbones, moonlight seemed to gather from the dark night. This, along with the shimmering light in her eyes, resembled a pure white lotus quietly blooming in a secluded water body in the dead of night.
Pei Ling immediately came to his senses. Wenren Lingse, Director of Doom Crossing Abyss's cultivation was profound; he, a mere Soul Transformation Cultivator, could not resist her!
Thus, he immediately 【redacted 56 characters here】.
Wenren Lingse 【redacted 46 characters here】: "Don't...don't tell anyone about this."
Hearing this, Pei Ling inwardly chuckled. He wasn't an idiot; how could such a thing possibly spread?
Back when he emerged from the Eternal Night Desert and spent so long with Si Hong Qingyan in the White Bone Palace, didn't no one know about it either?
Thinking of this, Pei Ling immediately replied, "Don't worry! All of this is for your Dao Heart; it's absolutely impossible for a third person to ever know!"
As he spoke, 【redacted 10 characters here】.
Wenren Lingse 【redacted 19 characters here】.
Above the sky, thunder rumbled.
The eternal night whisper by his ear was a cacophony, as if endless.
Lightning flashed down the chains on the stone pillars, occasionally illuminating the dense darkness.
…
All were fleeting glimpses, dreamlike and ethereal, then vanished into the Nether Sky Mist.
In the darkness, Wenren Lingse 【redacted 49 characters here】...
【redacted 50 characters here】...
Just then, Wenren Lingse suddenly said, "Stop! Stop quickly!"
Pei Ling asked, "What's wrong?"
Suddenly, a streak of blood-light swept through the air, arriving close by and unfurling in the wind, revealing a fluttering, blood-colored flag surface.
The next moment, the figure of Evil Exterminator appeared on the flag surface. Upon seeing the two, he first froze, then looked at Pei Ling with an enraged expression: "Audacious villain! Release my master!!"
After speaking, a violent gust of wind swept towards Pei Ling.
This gust of wind was formidable, as if it intended to sweep everything in front of it into ashes, but when it touched Pei Ling, its power sharply decreased.
Because he had previously promised to protect this little Soul Transformation Cultivator for three years, even though the Flag Spirit was attacking in anger, he controlled his strength, only intending to sweep Pei Ling away without harming him in the slightest.
But at this moment, Wenren Lingse suddenly struck, releasing a palm force that dispersed the wind, thereby blocking the attack for Pei Ling.
She said to the Flag Spirit haltingly, "Senior Evil Exterminator...you...you should avoid us first...I'll...I'll explain to Senior later..."
Hearing this, the Flag Spirit looked at Pei Ling with towering rage and said, "You've controlled Wenren Lingse with demonic techniques?!"
Pei Ling's mind was entirely focused on Wenren Lingse at this moment.
Suddenly seeing the Flag Spirit appear, 【redacted 17 characters here】.
He was about to answer when he heard Wenren Lingse speak first: "No...Senior...【redacted 61 characters here】"
Looking at Wenren Lingse, who normally hated evil like a sworn enemy and never showed mercy to demonic Cultivators, yet was now speaking up for that villain and preventing his attack, the Flag Spirit was momentarily incredulous.
However, he had already acknowledged her as his master, vowing to ascend the Dao with Wenren Lingse, so it was impossible for him to abandon her because of this scene.
Thinking of this, the Flag Spirit anxiously said, "A violent anomaly has just occurred in the Eternal Night Desert. The Seal of the Fallen Immortal is very likely to have a major problem! We must leave immediately, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable!"
Wenren Lingse 【redacted 16 characters here】 incoherently.
Pei Ling, however, suddenly stood up.
Seeing this, Wenren Lingse was slightly startled, 【redacted 22 characters here】.
Soon, this Dao discussion ended, and Wenren Lingse 【redacted 9 characters here】.
Pei Ling calmly straightened his robes and quickly said, "Let's leave the Eternal Night Desert first!"
After speaking, he turned to the Evil Slaying Banner and said, "According to our agreement, you must follow me for three years."
The Flag Spirit snorted coldly and returned inside the banner. Immediately after, the Evil Slaying Banner flew in front of Pei Ling.
Pei Ling raised his hand and gripped the flagstaff. This time, the treasure no longer resisted him.
The voice of the Evil Slaying Banner rang in his mind: "Hurry! The Fallen Immortal might have awakened a part of his will. If he attacks, I won't be able to protect you!"
Hearing this, Pei Ling nodded slightly. He immediately waved his hand, and Mo Li Lan, who was still in a deep sleep, instantly appeared by his side.
He raised his hand and pressed it on her shoulder. Soon, Mo Li Lan's entire body transformed into a mass of dark red runes, which, along his arm, rapidly fused with his main body.
After the dark red patterns covered Pei Ling's entire body, the Incarnation was withdrawn.
Pei Ling then concisely said, "Go!"
***Half a month later.***
Reincarnation Tower.
A large city stood behind several towering sand dunes.
At noon, the Cultivators in the city were busy.
In the market in the eastern part of the city, low-level Cultivators had already entered their busy state for the day.
Talisman Maker apprentices, holding sharp blades and wearing leather skirts around their waists, stood behind rough long tables, carefully skinning the hides of various creatures.
On the ground beneath their feet, blood had already pooled into puddles.
At the adjacent stall, the shopkeeper had summoned a large group of vengeful spirits and was introducing them to a customer like precious family heirlooms: "...Maiden vengeful spirits, being young and female, possess the strongest resentment. Middle-aged male vengeful spirits, naturally, are a step below..."
Just at this moment, the sky suddenly darkened.
The demonic Cultivators in the city thought it was going to rain, which was a rare occurrence in the territory of the Reincarnation Tower.
Thus, everyone outside looked up, and those inside houses all walked to windows and doors to gaze upwards.
Immediately after, they saw a group of bizarre, Evil Qi-filled foreign creatures directly ignore the city's protective formation and suddenly descend into the city!
Without any hesitation, without any communication, the foreign creatures instantly began their slaughter!
Low-level Cultivators were powerless before them, falling into pools of blood after just one encounter.
Immediately, blood splattered, and screams and pleas for mercy rose one after another.
In just a short while, most of the Cultivators had been slaughtered!
The few remaining Nascent Soul Cultivators only resisted for a moment longer before dying amidst their screams.
Soon, the entire city fell silent.
From all the corpses, wisps of black Qi began to emerge. As the black Qi grew denser, it gradually transformed into new Nether Sky Mist.
Before long, the entire city was enveloped by the Nether Sky Mist...
Similar scenes were happening in various places...

Chapter 956: The "Underworld Blood" Patriarch. (The third update! Please subscribe!)
Heavenly Born Sect.
Noon.
Sand Snow City.
Above the city, a mass of ink-black mist suddenly appeared, then rapidly expanded and poured down.
Soon, the entire Sand Snow City was enveloped by the Nether Sky Mist. The shouts of anger and curses, and cries for help and mercy from within the city, lasted only for a moment before falling silent.
From the outside, Sand Snow City seemed to be wrapped in a shroud of night. With the city walls as the boundary, the interior of the city was a thick darkness, while outside, everything was as usual, the midday sun making people slightly dizzy.
Reincarnation Tower.
In the early morning, a long-distance caravan drove their camels towards a white city standing between the sand dunes.
Camel bells jingled, and the procession left neat footprints on the yellow sand.
In a moment, they reached the city wall, only to find that the once heavily guarded city now had its gates wide open. The soldiers at the entrance were scattered, leaning against the wall, embracing their weapons, their heads bowed and eyes closed, as if in deep sleep.
The caravan was a little surprised but didn't think much of it, driving their camels directly into the city.
Upon entering the city, they found the entire city eerily quiet.
There were no shouts of hawkers, no pedestrians coming and going, no children playing… not even the slightest sound from chickens, dogs, or livestock.
The caravan moved slower and slower, feeling more and more unnerved. Finally, they stopped at the entrance of an inn where they usually stayed, exchanging glances.
“Innkeeper, what… what happened here?” A young helper couldn’t help but feel the invisible pressure, swallowed hard, and whispered to the caravan leader.
The caravan leader also felt uneasy, but at this moment, his life's savings were on the camels, and he couldn't afford to lose them.
Therefore, after steadying himself, he said, “I am very familiar with the owner of this inn. Let’s go in and take a look first.”
Leaving most of the people to guard the camels and goods, the leader led a few strong helpers into the inn. The Main Hall was quiet, with only two drunken men, reeking of alcohol, sprawled in a corner.
Continuing further inside, they quickly passed through the courtyard and saw a row of houses.
The leader, familiar with the place, walked towards one of the rooms. The owner of the inn lived here.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no answer.
So the leader began to knock harder: “Old brother, it’s Old Zhang, open the door!”
After a while, he and the helpers forced the door open, only to see the innkeeper's family, old and young, sleeping in two rooms separated by curtains, all with their eyes tightly closed, their expressions peaceful, mumbling indistinctly as if talking in their dreams.
...Several days later, all Nine Great Sects received news: “...A total of fifteen locations experienced the anomaly of night enveloping the city during Daytime; nine cities, the entire city entered a dream state. As for the true culprit behind the scenes, not a single trace was left.”
“The anomaly of night enveloping the city has not disappeared to this day, and moreover, it shows a tendency to spread outwards.”
“This kind of darkness can block Divine Sense, making it impossible to probe the situation within.”
“Spies who enter it quickly lose contact, making it difficult to determine what is happening inside.”
“To date, all protective arrays have been completely ineffective.”
Chongming Sect.
Inheritance Hall.
The portraits suspended above tens of thousands of soul lamps were hazy, appearing and disappearing, slowly drifting.
Suddenly, the last scroll in the row, accompanied by a faint hum from an unknown source, gradually became clear.
The next moment, the entire Inheritance Hall suddenly brightened.
A vast sea of blood surged skyward!
Countless resentful faces floated and sank within the sea of blood.
Immediately after, these faces quickly detached from the sea of blood and converged in mid-air into a wide throne, constantly dripping bloodstains.
The moment the throne formed, a figure, like a watercolor painting soaked by the dampness of the rainy season, appeared upon it.
Just then, in a two-story building on the Outer Sect's Shu Wu Peak.
The white-haired old woman, who had been dozing in a reclining chair while sipping wine, suddenly opened her eyes.
After just a slight sensation, she quickly got up, casually tossed aside the wine pot, and with a thought, the alcohol scent around her vanished instantly.
Slightly tidying her robe, the old woman quickly walked out of the small building and headed towards the small room behind it.
Pushing open the door of the small room, she saw that inside was a vast and deep Main Hall.
Countless lampstands floated in mid-air, and within the lampstands, blood flames surged.
At this moment, beneath the soul lamps, where there should have been only void and darkness, an unfathomable sea of blood churned and surged, with an endless number of malevolent faces in its waves…
The old woman only dared to glance once before she no longer dared to look deeper. She immediately knelt down, her voice solemn, “Old Woman Yin respectfully welcomes Netherblood Ancestor out of seclusion.”
In the mid-air of the Inheritance Hall, the Netherblood Ancestor, high upon the human-faced throne, did not immediately reply. Instead, he slowly raised his head and looked in the direction of the Eternal Night Desert.
Thousands of mountains and rivers, countless barriers, and even the Nether Sky Mist, could not obstruct his vision in the slightest.
In his field of vision, the Nine Stone Pillars seemed close at hand, and the blood-colored coffin suspended within them had opened a crack at some unknown time.
The Fallen Immortal's will thus found an opportunity and began to erode the Pan Ya World, much like Floating Life mirror.
At this moment, one figure after another walked into the Main Hall from the door of the small room. All of them had powerful auras and luxurious robes; they were the Grand Elders of Chongming Sect who remained in the Sect. Upon entering, they immediately walked in front of Old Woman Yin, knelt down, and said, “Respectfully welcome Netherblood Ancestor out of seclusion!”
Not long after, three figures with exceptionally powerful auras filed in.
“Su Clan Junior Su Dai respectfully welcomes Netherblood Ancestor out of seclusion!”
“Si Hong Clan Junior Si Hong Hanrong respectfully welcomes Netherblood Ancestor out of seclusion!”
“Li Clan Junior Li Xin respectfully welcomes Netherblood Ancestor out of seclusion!”
The three Old Ancestors on duty arrived. Upon entering, they immediately bowed in salute.
Seeing that most of the people had arrived, the Netherblood Ancestor, high upon the throne, spoke, his voice cold and eerie, asking, “What major event has happened recently in the Eternal Night Desert?”
Upon hearing this, Old Ancestor Li Xin immediately replied, “Reporting to Netherblood Ancestor, within the past six months, there has only been one major event: our Sect's current Saint, Pei Ling, achieved Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity in the Eternal Night Desert.”
The Netherblood Ancestor's gaze suddenly fell upon Li Xin.
Old Ancestor Su Dai of the Su Clan, Old Ancestor Si Hong Hanrong of the Si Hong Clan, and the other Grand Elders, who had also wanted to report something, were all shocked and looked at Li Xin upon hearing this.
Although Si Hong Hanrong had already anticipated it, hearing Li Xin state it clearly still shook his heart.
It was indeed Pei Ling who achieved Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity!
What a Nine A Li Clan!
Now, everyone in the world thought that the one who achieved Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity was Zhong Kui Yueji, the crown prince of the Liulan Dynasty, and the biggest promoter of this matter was precisely the Nine A Li Clan!
At this moment, the Netherblood Ancestor said, “Where is the Saint? Quickly summon him here.”
Li Xin respectfully said, “Reporting to Netherblood Ancestor, this Junior will immediately contact the Saint and order him to return to the Sect at once to pay respects to Ancestral Master.”
“However, the Saint is young and ignorant, and made a small mistake, angering the current Sect Master.”
“I hope Ancestral Master will take pity on his difficult cultivation and mediate on his behalf.”
The Netherblood Ancestor nodded faintly. He was naturally too lazy to bother with the grievances between Juniors.
But since it was Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity, it was worth him making an exception this once.
Thinking of this, the Netherblood Ancestor didn't even ask for the reason and directly said, “Granted!”
Chapter 957: On the Dao. (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
Immediately after, the "Nether Blood" Ancestor asked, "What other major events have happened in the world during this time?"
At this moment, Su Dai and the other Grand Elders had not fully recovered their senses, so Si Hong Hanrong immediately spoke, "Reporting to the Netherblood Ancestor, the Reincarnation Tower has launched a new round of the Immolation War, and the battle is currently fierce."
"Most of the Pseudo-Dao Jiuyi Mountain's territory was once under the actual control of the Holy Path, but in the past six months, with the reinforcement of the other Four Sects of the Pseudo-Dao, most of it is currently in a state of back-and-forth stalemate."
"To date, the Saint Sect has gained in the war..."
"And the Disciples who died in battle, Inner Sect Disciples are approximately... Elders... The specific expenditure is..."
"Also, recently, in the territories of the Reincarnation Tower, Heavenly Born Sect, and Wu Shi Villa, Eternal Night anomalies have appeared, suspected to be related to the Eternal Night Desert."
"Over a dozen cities are enveloped in darkness, and many large cities have their entire populations enter dreams."
"However, this situation has only occurred for a few days, and the Sect's scouts have not yet had time to ascertain the full story, so there is no complete description in the intelligence report."
The "Nether Blood" Ancestor listened calmly. He was not at all interested in the Immolation War, which was merely a trial for the younger generation to verify their Dao Heart.
However, the cities enveloped in darkness and the phenomenon of entire cities entering dreams might be related to the changes in the Eternal Night Desert.
Thus, the "Nether Blood" Ancestor said indifferently, "I need to make a trip to the Eternal Night Desert. Before that, I will first deal with the grievances among the younger generation."
The three Old Ancestors on duty, as well as many Grand Elders, immediately bowed respectfully, "Yes!"
※※※
A desolate mountain stream.
Peaks embraced flying waterfalls, and water encircled lush greenery.
The calls of apes and cranes were constantly heard, and occasionally, fish would leap out of the water from deep pools, presenting a serene scene.
At this moment, a delicate and magnificent embroidered building floated above the mountain stream.
If high-level Cultivators from the Nine Great Sects were present, they would instantly recognize it as the flying Magic Treasure of Yanxi City Grand Elder Wenren Lingse.
Currently, the embroidered building floated quietly, and beneath the eaves outside the building, a blood-colored banner with a majestic aura was displayed—it was the Evil Slaying Banner.
It did not unfurl with the wind, appearing somewhat dejected.
Inside the embroidered building, the pearl curtains were half-rolled.
Pei Ling lay on a large, soft cloud bed, his hands behind his head.
Wenren Lingse had already changed into a new, form-fitting battle armor, which further accentuated her slender and supple waist, astonishing curves, and delicate, porcelain-like skin, on which a slight sheen of sweat seemed to give her originally frost-white complexion a pearlescent glow.
Pei Ling remained perfectly still, cooperating fully, while appreciating Wenren Lingse's exquisite face.
This was a remote area within Wu Shi Villa's territory.
His suggestion was the reason they came here.
That day, after he, Wenren Lingse, and the Evil Slaying Banner hastily left the Eternal Night Desert, he proposed to continue helping Wenren Lingse resolve her Dao Heart issues.
In the current situation, he definitely could not go to the Righteous Path's territory, much less return to Chongming Sect's domain.
And with the anomaly in the Eternal Night Desert, the Reincarnation Tower's territory was also unsuitable, so he could only choose between the Heavenly Born Sect and Wu Shi Villa.
Comparatively, Wu Shi Villa was further away from Chongming Sect.
So, after a journey and entering Wu Shi Villa's territory, Pei Ling began discussing Dao Heart issues with Wenren Lingse.
This discussion has continued until now...
At this moment, Wenren Lingse suddenly said, "This is the last time! After this, I must immediately return to Ying Prefecture for the Battle Between the Righteous and the Demonic. If we meet on the battlefield in the future, I... you... you and I will... will be enemies!"
Pei Ling was cultivating by circulating the Six Desires Secret Canon, and upon hearing this, he was not surprised at all.
In these past few days, Wenren Lingse had said this more than once.
Thinking of this, he immediately replied, "Alright."
Then he added, "If I encounter Yan Xi City Disciples in the future, I will show mercy."
Wenren Lingse remained silent.
Curtains fluttered, and a wind rose from nowhere, disheveling her hair.
She suddenly asked again, "How were you imprisoned in Due Abyss?"
Pei Ling reached out a hand and truthfully said, "I disguised myself as a prisoner Due Abyss was trying to apprehend, and then, using that identity, I entered Due Abyss."
"What was your purpose in entering Due Abyss? Was it to destroy Due Abyss and release all the prisoners within?"
"It was merely for Cultivation. Due Abyss is secluded and quiet, undisturbed. If I were elsewhere, Su Lijing might find me."
Wenren Lingse snorted coldly. Pei Ling being hunted by Su Lijing was simply what he deserved!
She then asked, "Then how... how did you... avoid... Due Abyss'... regulations...?"
"That cannot be said."
Wenren Lingse snorted coldly again.
Pei Ling immediately accelerated the circulation of the Six Desires Secret Canon.
A moment later, he suddenly spoke, "Still the same as before."
Wenren Lingse inwardly disapproved, wondering why he needed to be so cautious...
Despite this, she began to get up...
With a thought, he immediately took out a very special sound transmission Talisman. This was a Talisman used for immediate long-distance communication; only for extremely important and urgent matters would the Li Clan use this Talisman to contact him.
Pei Ling injected a surge of magical power to activate it, and immediately, Li Wujiu's voice came through: "Saint, where are you now? The Netherblood Ancestor has emerged from seclusion and personally summoned you. Return to the Sect now, immediately!"
Ancestral Master summoned?
Pei Ling was stunned for a moment, but then he heard Wenren Lingse suddenly snort coldly.
He immediately snapped back to his senses and hastily pressed down on her head, preventing her from making any inappropriate sounds.
Then he immediately said, "I am currently within Wu Shi Villa's territory. I will return to the Sect immediately."
He then heard Li Wujiu say, "The Ancestral Master's summons is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity, extremely important. Your speed in returning to the Sect by yourself is too slow. Stay where you are now and do not move. The Old Ancestor will personally come to pick you up."
Pei Ling hurriedly said, "Yes!"
The sound transmission then cut off.
He watched as the last rune extinguished, then he released his hand. Wenren Lingse immediately raised her head, covering her mouth, and looked at him coldly.
Seeing this, Pei Ling cleared his throat and said, "The Sect wants me to return immediately. This discussion of the Dao can only end here."
Wenren Lingse's face was cold, and she did not reply. However, at this very moment, a charmingly seductive voice suddenly entered the embroidered building: "Wenren Lingse! Is that beast Pei Ling with you?"
"Quickly hand him over! This Empress will slice him into a thousand pieces and dismember him!"
"Otherwise, this Empress will deal with you as well!"

Chapter 958: Wenren Lingse versus Sihong Qingyan. (First update! Please subscribe!)
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling was momentarily stunned.
It was Si Hong Qingyan; had she come looking for him again so quickly?
As he was thinking, he saw Wenren Lingse immediately stand up.
With the activation of a spell, she instantly became presentable again.
The next moment, battle armor automatically covered her delicate body, and then she raised her hand, summoning the Frost Candle Halberd into her grasp, and charged out directly!
Seeing this, Pei Ling immediately realized what had happened.
He quickly dressed himself, then extended his hand, and the Evil Subjugation Banner instantly appeared in his hand from outside the embroidered building.
The next moment, the Flag Spirit's furious voice immediately entered his ears: "Evil villain! Did you attack the Master again?!"
Pei Ling ignored the Flag Spirit and quickly fled outwards.
Outside the embroidered building, in the picturesque mountain stream, a White Bone Palace had appeared at some unknown time.
Yin winds swirled, and Evil Qi lingered.
In an instant, countless birds were startled and flew away.
On the throne in the Main Hall of the palace, Si Hong Qingyan, dressed in elaborate attire and formal makeup, sat with a charming posture, gathering her skirt.
She had changed into a palace gown, a snow-azure base with gold-threaded phoenix patterns, her long hair was coiled high, revealing her slender, fair neck, and her coiffure was adorned with pearls and jade, with jingling accessories all over her body, exuding an innate charm amidst her noble demeanor.
The last time she learned of the incident at Due Abyss, she immediately went to attack the grand formation at the entrance of Due Abyss.
However, after breaching the grand formation, she discovered that the other end of the teleportation array had already been destroyed, making her unable to enter Due Abyss to seek revenge!
Besides this, she had also lost her perception of Pei Ling.
Fortunately, this situation did not last too long, and she soon, through the Cauldron mark, inversely sensed his appearance in the direction of the Reincarnation Tower.
Although she didn't know why the Pseudo-Dao had set Due Abyss near the Reincarnation Tower, it was none of her business.
Now, after continuously tracking for nearly half a month, she finally found his traces in this desolate wilderness.
However, Wenren Lingse was a problem; she had to deal with her first!
Just as Si Hong Qingyan was pondering, a streak of light flashed out from the embroidered building not far from the palace, revealing Wenren Lingse's figure.
Without any superfluous words, the Frost Candle Halberd tore through the sky, directly striking down towards the palace!
As Wenren Lingse moved, a colossal halberd shadow, like a towering mountain, pressed down overwhelmingly.
The immense Killing Intent, like surging waves, roared and swept towards the White Bone Palace.
Inside the palace, Si Hong Qingyan sneered, her figure instantly vanishing from the throne and reappearing outside the palace, standing in the Void Realm.
She gracefully extended her wide sleeve, revealing her slender, fair and soft hand, a crimson dot like blood on her fingertip, making her skin appear even fairer, and slowly stretched it towards Wenren Lingse, then clenched it tightly.
Immediately, countless blood-colored fences emerged, as if at this moment, the entire world transformed into a blood-colored cage.
Tens of thousands of blood threads extended from the Void Realm, instantly coiling around the massive halberd shadow, around the embroidered building, and also towards Wenren Lingse's body.
Witnessing this scene, Wenren Lingse's expression remained unchanged.
The colossal halberd shadow was only slightly obstructed, then with brute force, it directly tore through all the blood threads and continued to smash towards Si Hong Qingyan.
Boom!!!
In the mountain stream below, the deep pool that had not dried up for a thousand years, and the many aquatic creatures residing within it, instantly vanished into thin air!
The mud and rocks of the pool bed were instantly incinerated into glazed glass, and with crisp cracking sounds, huge cracks rapidly extended from the bottom of the deep pool, spreading towards the surrounding mountains.
Amidst the tremendous noise, Si Hong Qingyan had already mysteriously appeared in the distance; at the critical moment, she used the Five Ghost Sky Net Escape to evade Wenren Lingse's attack.
Following this, she flipped her right palm, and a glistening, smooth blood bead floated above her palm.
The moment the blood bead appeared, the entire earth instantly transformed into a sea of blood.
A sweet, 腥氣 smell permeated the air, reflecting into the sky, and the originally clear blue sky was instantly dyed crimson.
Blood waves surged to the sky, overwhelming, with a majestic Aura.
Giant blood beasts, blood fiends, and blood slaves emerged from the surface of the sea, letting out hoarse, muffled roars at Wenren Lingse.
Si Hong Qingyan's eyes flickered; this Wenren Lingse didn't even say hello and directly attacked, almost making her suffer a hidden loss; she truly deserved to be Cultivated!
Thinking of this, she immediately sneered and said, "Wenren Lingse, why are you so angry? Could it be that my Saint Sect's Saint treated you as a Cauldron for training?"
Wenren Lingse's brows immediately furrowed; she had long known about Si Hong Qingyan's unrestrained mouth.
Therefore, she never engaged in verbal sparring with her.
But hearing these words now, she was still shocked... How did she know??
However, she quickly realized, what if the other party knew? She merely followed her Dao Heart and did not need to explain to others!
Thus, Wenren Lingse immediately swung her halberd, and above the sky, a fierce gale howled, countless gigantic halberd phantoms appeared out of thin air, majestic and heavy, yet incomparably sharp, shooting towards Si Hong Qingyan.
At the same time, she coldly said, "It's still better than you, Si Hong Qingyan, being Cultivated by Pei Ling in public multiple times; now the entire Pan Ya World knows about it!"
Hmm?!
Better than herself?
Si Hong Qingyan was momentarily stunned.
Previously, when they fought, it wasn't the first time she had slandered Wenren Lingse in this manner, her goal being to provoke her and find an opening, but Wenren Lingse's reaction had always been to act rather than speak, yet this time...
Could it be that she was truly... by Pei Ling?
Seeing countless colossal halberd shadows rushing towards her, Si Hong Qingyan quickly activated the blood bead in her palm.
Immediately, the sea of blood surged, the surface of the sea rising frantically, stirring up overwhelming giant waves.
Amidst the rolling waves, countless giant blood beasts roared and surged out.
Boom boom boom...
The blood beasts were ferocious, and the halberd shadows were majestic.
The impact generated by their collision instantly caused the surrounding mountains to crack, the earth to tremble, and the weather in the sky to change repeatedly.
Wind, thunder, rain, and snow rotated endlessly.
The two sides had long-standing grievances, and their attacks were extremely fierce and unreserved, instantly causing the heavens and earth to change color and the sun and moon to lose their light.
During the battle, Si Hong Qingyan did not forget to provoke: "A Grand Elder of the esteemed Yanxi City, being wantonly ravaged by my Saint Sect's Saint, shows that you were born to be a Cauldron for that beast Pei Ling to Cultivate at will!"
Wenren Lingse coldly said, "It's merely my Dao Heart, unlike you, demoness, who, as the Chongming Sect Master's wife, was Cultivated in public, and instead of being ashamed, you take pride in it.
Are you not already a Cauldron that Pei Ling can Cultivate whenever he wants?"
Dao Heart?
Si Hong Qingyan snorted coldly.
This Grand Elder of Yanxi City, outwardly righteous and hateful of evil, unexpectedly was so sanctimonious and hypocritical in private; as expected, the Pseudo-Dao is truly the Pseudo-Dao!
Thinking of this, she immediately said, "Cauldron? Hehehe... I have only been Cultivated by Pei Ling three times so far.
The longest time was only half a month.
This is nothing in my hundreds of years of Cultivation.
The word 'Cauldron' has nothing to do with me!"
Chapter 959: Discussion of Dao and Fighting of Magic. (Second update! Please subscribe!)
Wenren Lingse’s graceful brows slightly furrowed. Si Hong Qingyan’s words sounded like an explanation, yet also like she was showing off something to her!
So, she snorted coldly and immediately said, “I have only been wantonly treated by Pei Ling for half a month! Next, at most, I will bear him ten children. By then, my Dao Heart will be at Perfection, and I will have no further connection with him!”
Si Hong Qingyan’s eyes narrowed. Bear him ten children?
Hmph!
That beast Pei Ling is truly ambitious!
She didn’t know what methods the other party used to refine Wenren Lingse into a Cauldron, and now he had deliberately led her here, surely wanting to covet both her and Wenren Lingse at the same time!
This was simply outrageous!
She, Si Hong Qingyan, was the wife of the Chongming Sect Master, renowned in the Holy Path, while Wenren Lingse was a Grand Elder of Yanxi City, who claimed to be from the Righteous Path, equally famous. If that beast’s scheme truly succeeded…
No!
She absolutely could not let that beast succeed!
Even if that beast did succeed, she absolutely could not let everyone in the Nine Great Sects know!
“Pei Ling already has a Dao Companion, who is the current Saintess of my Saint Sect,” Si Hong Qingyan said with a cold sneer. “The two of them are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Even if you bear him children, they will only be illegitimate!”
Wenren Lingse said indifferently, “Since the Saintess can tolerate you, her fellow Sect Master’s wife, why would she care about other matters?”
Boom, boom, boom…
The aftermath of the two women’s battle continued to reverberate, with vast Qi waves scattering. The White Bone Palace had already been put away by Si Hong Qingyan, and all their spell techniques intentionally or unintentionally avoided the embroidered building.
As soon as Pei Ling escaped from the embroidered building, he saw the scene of a vast sea of blood and spear shadows like mountains.
At the same time, Wenren Lingse and Si Hong Qingyan’s angry voices continuously came from mid-air:
“Wenren Lingse, this palace disdains to say more to you. That beast and this palace…”
“Si Hong demoness, you are also the wife of a Sect Master, yet you let a Disciple manipulate you at will. Truly laughable! Demon Child Pei Ling always makes this seat…”
“Besides this palace’s palace, this palace has also been to Pei Ling’s Immortal Cave, Cui Lei Mountain in the Saint Sect’s inner sect!…”
“This seat and Pei Ling, in the Eternal Night Desert…”
After listening for only a few sentences, Pei Ling felt that the atmosphere was very wrong.
At present, both Si Hong Qingyan and Wenren Lingse were Cauldrons given to him by the System… If possible, he really wanted to persuade the two to coexist peacefully now.
However, he knew that was impossible!
These two, one was a demonic Sect Master’s wife, and the other was a Righteous Path Grand Elder, clearly mortal enemies!
Unless his current Cultivation strength was higher than these two…
Thinking this, Pei Ling saw that the two would not be able to determine a victor for a while, and immediately decided to leave this place at once!
Old Ancestor Li was about to come find him. If he really saw this scene… how would he explain?
Yes, now, hurry and leave!
So he cast the 【Five Ghost Sky Net Escape】 and immediately fled.
Noticing Pei Ling’s aura rapidly moving away, Wenren Lingse and Si Hong Qingyan immediately fought even more fiercely.
“Heh heh, Wenren Lingse, you were just harvested for half a month. Pei Ling left immediately upon seeing you, which shows that you are worthless in his heart!”
“This seat and Pei Ling were originally discussing the Dao. If he wanted to leave, he would have left long ago. His escape now is just because he doesn’t want to see you…”
“Oh? Discussed the Dao for half a month, and didn’t even say goodbye?”
“You haven’t seen Pei Ling for a long time. As a Chongming Sect Disciple, he also has no intention of greeting you, the Sect Master’s wife!”
Boom, boom, boom…
Violent gales raged, blood waves emptied the sky, and spear shadows transformed into Dragons. The entire world trembled continuously…
※ ※ ※
A moment later, on a solitary small hill, sparse vegetation, gentle slopes.
A streak of Escape Light flew over, and after landing, Pei Ling’s figure appeared.
This place was not very far from the previous mountain stream. The Old Ancestor would surely find his trace easily when he arrived near the mountain stream.
However, the sounds of Wenren Lingse and Si Hong Qingyan fighting could no longer be heard here.
Just as he stopped, the Flag Spirit’s angry voice rang out in his mind: “Why didn’t you help Master just now?!”
Pei Ling calmly replied, “My Cultivation is too low. Staying there would only drag Wenren Lingse down. Now that I’ve left, she can truly unleash her full power.”
The Flag Spirit snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Pei Ling, however, immediately put it into his storage bag. This 【Evil Slaying Banner】 seemed to have a strong prejudice against demonic cultivators. He didn’t want it to cause any trouble when he met the Old Ancestor later, so he had to put it away first.
After preparing, Pei Ling waited for a moment in place. Seeing that the Old Ancestor had not yet arrived, he took the opportunity to sense his current Cultivation.
Through Dual Cultivation with Wenren Lingse during this period, his Cultivation had greatly advanced, reaching the Peak of Soul Transformation Middle Stage, and he was not too far from the Soul Transformation Late Stage.
In addition, the True Immortal Will’s gift of the “Yue” True Immortal position in his dream not only deepened his foundation but also furthered his understanding of “Dao.”
Most importantly, this seemed to be a key… He could feel that as long as he went to sleep normally now, he could directly enter the other party’s Immortal Dream.
“Cultivate for a while longer, and I should be able to reach Soul Transformation Late Stage. This time, when I return to the Sect, I’ll just ask the Li Clan for some Materials to Breakthrough to Void Refinement.”
“The Ancestral Master’s summons means the Sect Master probably wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on me at this time…”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Senior Sister Li. I wonder how Senior Sister is doing now, and what her Cultivation is like…”
“This time, when I return to the Sect, I’ll Dual Cultivate with Senior Sister Li a few more times!”
“And Jin Su Mian’s progress in deciphering Alchemist Ancestor’s test, I wonder how that’s coming along…”
While thinking this, Pei Ling sat down to Cultivate.
Time passed bit by bit, and the sun’s shadow gradually shifted westward.
Near dusk, a powerful Divine Thought suddenly swept over Pei Ling.
Pei Ling immediately opened his eyes. The Old Ancestor had arrived!
Sure enough, the next moment, a figure appeared not far from him.
A white-haired old man stepped out of thin air. His face was gaunt, dressed in a feathered robe, holding a scroll in his hand. His pupils were pure black, cold and eerie.
Pei Ling immediately stepped forward and bowed: “Disciple Pei Ling greets Old Ancestor!”
Old Ancestor Li Xin nodded slightly, then without saying anything, directly took out a lamp. The base of this lamp was quite rough, but its flame was dozens of feet high, like a towering torch, intensely blazing, emitting an extremely vast and pure life force.
This was Pei Ling’s Soul Lamp!
Li Xin held the Soul Lamp in front of him and looked at Pei Ling through the soul fire in the lamp. In his black eyes, a faint purple glow immediately lit up.
Seeing this, Pei Ling understood that the Old Ancestor was using his Soul Lamp to verify his identity.
Not long after, Li Xin put away the Soul Lamp, having clearly confirmed Pei Ling’s identity. He immediately grabbed his shoulder and said without any superfluous words: “Let’s go!”

Chongming Sect.
Deep within the inner sect, heavy clouds shy away from the geese, and the clear blue sky stretches for ten thousand li.
A majestic palace, like a mirage, suddenly projected itself high in the sky.
Then it slowly became clear.
When the palace completely solidified, Tian Geng Palace had already returned to the sect from the Jiuyi Mountain battlefield.
In the Main Hall, Su Lijing, with a thought, immediately conjured a dozen sound transmission talismans around him.
He sequentially instructed his subordinates to come to Tian Geng Palace to receive goods, register them, and replenish the treasury… After a series of arrangements, he tidied his robes and escaped from Tian Geng Palace, heading to the Ancestral Land of the Pillow Stone Su Clan.
Within the Ancestral Land, on a perilous cliff, strong winds howled.
After Su Lijing landed, he saw that there was already an old man in brocade robes, standing with his hands behind his back, overlooking the changing mists and clouds below the cliff, seemingly having waited for a long time.
Seeing the other party's back, he immediately bowed and said, “Old Ancestor!”
The old man nodded slightly and turned around, revealing a pale Face like a paper figure, devoid of any Life Qi, yet his aura was vast and profound, unfathomable; it was none other than the current Old Ancestor of the Pillow Stone Su Clan, Su Dai.
Su Lijing asked with a deep frown, “The war at the front is in a stalemate, yet I wonder what urgent matter has caused Old Ancestor to summon me back so anxiously?”
Su Dai looked at him and said briefly, “There’s a change in the Eternal Night Desert. The ‘Nether Blood’ Ancestor has suddenly emerged from seclusion and now wishes to see you and the Saint.”
Upon hearing that the ‘Nether Blood’ Ancestor had just emerged from seclusion and wanted to see him and the Saint, Su Lijing was first stunned, then immediately understood that this was mostly due to the Nine A Li Clan seizing the opportunity to intercede for Pei Ling after seeing the Ancestral Master emerge.
Hmph!
He had originally intended to resolve this matter himself.
After all, as the current Chongming Sect Master, if he couldn't even deal with a Junior on his own, where would his Face be placed?
Now that the Ancestral Master had appeared, and the matter was directly brought to light, it was certain that he, the Sect Master, would lose all Face.
However, Pei Ling must be eliminated!
This matter was originally due to the Nine A Li Clan being too overbearing. Whether based on reason or involving the Saint Sect's interests, the Ancestral Master would definitely side with him, the current Sect Master. He had nothing to worry about!
Thinking of this, Su Lijing immediately said, “I understand. I will go prepare a generous gift to congratulate the ‘Nether Blood’ Ancestor on his emergence from seclusion.”
Su Dai shook his head upon hearing this and said, “What you need to do now is, before the Saint returns, go find Si Hong Qingyan and the Si Hong Clan. Even if it means giving up some interests, you must persuade them to stand on our Su’s side in front of the ‘Nether Blood’ Ancestor.”
Upon hearing this, Su Lijing frowned and asked in confusion, “Old Ancestor, I have victory assured in this matter, why go to such trouble?”
The next moment, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body, as if the entire world, all Life Qi, was drained in an instant.
Su Dai looked at him with icy eyes and solemnly said, “Pei Ling is a Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity!”
Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity?!
Su Lijing was startled at first, then his expression changed immediately upon realizing!
Su Dai continued, “Right now, for the Ancestral Master, nothing will be more important than Pei Ling!”
“Sending you to find the Si Hong Clan is not to put Pei Ling to death; that’s impossible.”
“Rather, it’s to calmly settle this matter in front of the Ancestral Master.”
“If Si Hong Qingyan was cultivated by Pei Ling, then she was cultivated.”
“From now on, you should act as if this never happened.”
“Face is only temporary. A thousand years from now, who will still remember any of this?”
***
The sky was azure, clear as Glass.
Clusters of white clouds, like cotton wool, drifted like mist and rain, at ease, suddenly cut open by a sudden streak of light, then rushed through.
A bone boat, bone-white in color, flew as fast as lightning.
Below, the overlapping mountains and waters receded at a speed difficult for ordinary Cultivators to discern with the naked eye.
Inside the bone boat, Li Xin, while fully urging this Magic Treasure for travel, transmitted a message to Pei Ling, instructing him, “When you see the Ancestral Master later, do not be presumptuous! You must rein in your usual temperament well.”
“And do not attempt any deception.”
“The Ancestral Master already knows about your Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity, and no matter the circumstances, he will protect you.”
“But the premise is, you must not anger the Ancestral Master!”
Pei Ling nodded, “Yes, Junior understands.”
He felt a slight chill in his heart; this time, upon returning to the sect, he couldn't use the System to Cultivate.
If the System were to gift him the Ancestral Master, he probably wouldn't have a million lives to spare.
Thinking of this, he asked again, “Senior, the Si Hong Clan primarily Cultivates the Blood Dao. Is this ‘Nether Blood’ Ancestor a Senior of the Si Hong Clan?”
Li Xin shook his head upon hearing this and said, “My Nine A Li Clan, Pillow Stone Su Clan, and Floating Light Si Hong Clan, their ancestors were actually all Prodigies who emerged from ordinary Disciples, passing down through generations to achieve their current prestige and status.”
“As for the various Ancestral Masters of the Saint Sect, they have all achieved eternal life.”
“Their only pursuit in this life is Ascension to the Upper Realm, and thus, none of them have left behind any Bloodline descendants.”
“The Blood Dao Legacy that the Si Hong Clan now possesses is merely one of the rewards bestowed by this ‘Nether Blood’ Ancestor back then.”
“The Ancestral Masters are devoted to Ascension and usually have no time to bother with mundane affairs, nor do they like to be disturbed.”
“Therefore, a long time ago, they established a rule: except when major events involving the entire Pan Ya World or the survival of the Chongming Sect occur, they will actively emerge from seclusion. Otherwise, only when the Saint and Saintess officially take their positions, and the Sect Master ascends, are they qualified to enter the Inheritance Hall to pay respects.”
“The Legacy you received when you officially became the Saint and entered the hall was merely a reward from one of the Ancestral Masters.”
“However, the Ancestral Masters act as they please, and each reward is different.”
“What the Juniors truly receive is only a minority.”
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling was greatly surprised. He had thought that the successive Ancestral Masters of the Chongming Sect were all elders of the three great clans.
With a thought, he asked again, “Then, what Realm are the various Ancestral Masters in?”
Li Xin said, “As for the other Ancestral Masters, I am also not clear.”
“But this ‘Nether Blood’ Ancestor should only be a few Dao Tribulations away from entering the Mahayana Realm.”
Saying this, he looked at Pei Ling and continued, “The position of Chongming Sect Master is held for three hundred years per term.”
“Successive Saints and Saintesses, once their cultivation reaches the Void Returning Realm, can automatically ascend to the throne as the new Sect Master after the previous Sect Master’s term expires.”
“During their three-hundred-year term, with complete Legacy and abundant resources, they can basically Cultivate to the Dao Integration Early Stage before abdicating.”
“The current Sect Master, Su Lijing, and his wife, Si Hong Qingyan, are both at the Dao Integration Early Stage.”
“And the Sect Master should be close to Breakthrough to the Dao Integration Middle Stage.”
“As for the Grand Elders in the sect, most are at the Dao Integration Middle Stage, a few at the Dao Integration Late Stage, and they are currently in secluded cultivation, striving for Breakthrough.”
“Old Ancestors like me, who are on duty, are similar to the Grand Elders.”
“At the Dao Integration Stage Realm, every step forward is incredibly difficult.”
“Sometimes, even two Cultivators who are both at the Dao Integration Early Stage, or both at the Dao Integration Middle Stage, can have vastly different strengths.”
“Cultivators at this Realm are all true Prodigies who once dominated an area and were victorious in a hundred battles.”
“Every one of them has come all the way from Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, Golden Core of First Grade, Celestial Infant of Superior Grade, Nine Tribulation Transformation God…”
“But your Myriad Tribulations Nascent Divinity, which appears once every ten thousand years, places you above all Grand Elders and us Old Ancestors.”
“Therefore, the ‘Nether Blood’ Ancestor values you greatly.”
Hearing this, Pei Ling nodded seriously, quickly committing everything Li Xin said to memory.
At this moment, the scenery around the bone boat gradually became familiar, indicating that they had already arrived at the Chongming Sect.
Chapter 961: Handle Impartially. (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
Chongming Sect.
Inheritance Hall.
Above the vast sea of blood, tens of thousands of Life Soul Lamps burned quietly.
The weak ones were like flickering beans, while the strong ones were like midday suns, scattered high and low, floating near and far, like a majestic galaxy, yet also like an boundless sea of light.
The hall was extremely deep, with only a dimness in its depths, no end in sight.
More than ten portraits quietly floated, lifelike, yet only vague outlines, indistinguishable.
A throne composed of countless resentful human Faces floated in mid-air, the figure on the throne hazy and indistinct, only vaguely detectable, as if he was closing his eyes to rest, his aura like a boundless sea of stars, immeasurable.
Below the blood throne stood many Grand Elders, and Si Hong Hanrong was among them.
After a moment, Su Dai entered with Su Lijing and bowed before the blood throne: “Ancestral Master, the Sect Master has arrived.”
Su Lijing bowed and said: “Su Lijing, the current Sect Master of the Saint Sect, respectfully welcomes the ‘Netherblood’ Ancestor out of seclusion.”
“As a junior, I have been ashamed to lead the Saint Sect for over two hundred years, treading on thin ice, but fortunately, I have not lost the Sect’s prestige.”
“Please, Ancestral Master, impart your teachings.”
The “Netherblood” Ancestor merely nodded faintly, not even opening his eyes.
Seeing this, the two wisely fell silent and stood aside.
After another moment, two figures, one old and one young, appeared at the entrance.
The old man had a gaunt Face and pitch-black eyes, like a ghost; the young man’s aura was restrained, and his expression was calm.
It was Li Xin bringing Pei Ling.
As soon as they stepped into the Inheritance Hall, the “Netherblood” Old Ancestor immediately opened his eyes and looked towards Pei Ling.
At the same time, all the Grand Elders, Si Hong Hanrong, Su Dai, Su Lijing… all turned their gaze towards Pei Ling.
In an instant, Pei Ling felt countless terrifying wills, like towering, majestic mountains pressing down, as if he would be crushed to the ground and faint if his cultivation was even slightly weaker at that moment.
Li Xin bowed respectfully beneath the blood throne and said: “Ancestral Master, the current Saint Pei Ling has been brought.”
The “Netherblood” Ancestor nodded slightly.
Li Xin immediately turned and instructed Pei Ling: “Pei Ling, step forward and pay respects to the Ancestral Master.”
At this moment, the pressure on Pei Ling remained, and those terrifying gazes fixed on him had not shifted in the slightest.
He nodded and said: “Yes!”
With that, he immediately walked forward.
As soon as he took a step, he felt the pressure on him suddenly intensify.
Pei Ling’s expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn’t noticed, and he continued to walk forward at a steady, unhurried pace.
With each step he took, the pressure on him became more immense and vast. Gradually, he could no longer contain his aura; a dense, almost tangible blood-fiend Qi surged, and a violent Saber Intent emanated from his body, overbearing and unparalleled, majestic and sharp. He himself seemed like a peerless fierce saber hidden within a mist of blood.
At the same time, dark red patterns slowly appeared on his body, their color deep and full of ominous aura.
Soon, Pei Ling had walked past all the Grand Elders and Old Ancestors. He was panting heavily, seemingly able to take a few more steps.
But at this moment, the “Netherblood” Ancestor spoke faintly: “Not bad.”
The next moment, all gazes fixed on Pei Ling were withdrawn.
Every Grand Elder and Old Ancestor present had an expression of disbelief in their eyes: Soul Transformation Stage Middle Stage cultivation!
How long had it been since the Saint entered the Dao?
And he had already entered the Soul Transformation Stage Middle Stage!
Moreover, if it were only the Soul Transformation Stage Middle Stage, it would have been impossible for him to walk from the entrance to the Ancestral Master’s seat unscathed just now.
This was something only a Returning Void Stage Cultivator could achieve!
It truly was Myriad Tribulations Soul Transformation!
Only Myriad Tribulations Soul Transformation could achieve this in the Soul Transformation Stage!
At this moment, Pei Ling felt his body lighten. He immediately knelt and bowed respectfully: “Disciple Pei Ling respectfully greets the ‘Netherblood’ Ancestor!”
The “Netherblood” Ancestor nodded slightly, then said: “Rise.”
Pei Ling said: “Thank you, Ancestral Master.”
He then stood up, hands by his side.
The “Netherblood” Ancestor then continued: “This time, I have come out of seclusion for two reasons: first, for the anomaly in the Eternal Night Desert; second, I heard that there were some grievances between the current Saint and the Sect Master.”
“For the future of the Saint Sect, I have specifically summoned the two of you here to completely resolve the discord, to prevent internal strife within the Sect.”
“Both of you are pillars of my Saint Sect. As one of the Saint Sect’s Ancestral Masters, I will certainly handle any disputes between you impartially, without favoritism, and without bias towards either party.”
“If the Saint made a mistake, he will be severely punished.”
“If it is the other way around… it will be the same.”
At this point, the Ancestral Master looked at Su Lijing and said calmly, “You are the current Sect Master; your cultivation and status are above the Saint’s.”
“You speak first. What exactly is the matter with your grievances with the Saint?”
Su Lijing’s expression was very displeased.
Although the “Netherblood” Ancestor spoke firmly about handling things impartially and fairly, Pei Ling was the Myriad Tribulations Soul Transformation, a legend. The Saint Sect’s ethos was that the strong preyed on the weak.
Even if Pei Ling’s strength was not as good as his own at the moment, his value was clearly no longer beneath his own!
Therefore, he had no confidence whatsoever at this moment.
As his thoughts turned, Su Lijing stepped forward, first bowing to the Ancestral Master, and then said: “Reporting to Ancestral Master, this matter concerns my lawfully wedded wife, Si Hong Qingyan.”
“While I was in seclusion, Saint Pei Ling openly Dual Cultivated with my legal wife in front of the Nine Sects.”
“This matter is well-substantiated with evidence. I implore Ancestral Master to uphold justice for me!”
Su Lijing did not hide anything. With such a matter brought before the Ancestral Master, his Face had long been lost, and he no longer cared about any concealment.
Upon hearing this, the “Netherblood” Ancestor’s expression did not change in the slightest. Although this matter violated human ethics and morality, and was even heretical and reckless, one could say it subverted the understanding of most people, but in the eyes of an existence like him, it was merely an exchange of benefits.
A male Cultivator marrying a wife was merely to acquire a fixed Dual Cultivation Materials.
A female Cultivator marrying a man was to find a stable Dual Cultivation tool.
If a Cultivator sought other women after marrying, it meant that the Cultivation Materials were insufficient, so new Materials needed to be added.
The same applied if a female Cultivator sought other men after marrying.
All living beings in the world, all things under heaven, are inseparable from the word “benefit.”
In the current matter, the Sect Master was in seclusion, and his legal wife was openly Dual Cultivated by the Saint. Peeling back the surface of the matter, its essence was simply that the Sect Master’s Cultivation Materials were not used up and were secretly used by the Saint.
The solution was also very simple: have the Saint return the remaining Cultivation Materials and provide a certain amount of Spirit Stone compensation!
Thinking of this, adhering to the principle of impartial handling and absolute fairness, the “Netherblood” Ancestor looked at Pei Ling and said again: “Saint, is what the Sect Master said true? Are there any omissions?”
The “Netherblood” Ancestor’s gaze was substantial, cold and eerie, as if he could see through all of his thoughts. Pei Ling’s heart immediately tightened. He dared not conceal anything and stepped forward to report: “Yes!”
Remember to vote after reading!
Chapter 962: Disciples have no objection. (First update! Please subscribe!)
On the human-faced blood throne, the figure of the "Netherblood" Ancestor was ethereal. His cold gaze fell upon Pei Ling, and he said indifferently, "Speak."
Pei Ling nodded. This Ancestor's cultivation was unfathomably profound and terrifying!
On the way here, Old Ancestor Li had already warned him not to lie in front of him.
Moreover, many people had witnessed this matter at the time, making it easy to uncover the truth.
Thinking of this, he immediately said, "Reporting to Ancestor, this Disciple indeed had a private affair with the Sect Master's wife, but at that time, it was the true Disciples of the other Eight Great Sects who forcibly followed behind this Disciple. After entering the lake palace, everything that happened was secretly spied upon by the true Disciples of the other Eight Sects!"
"It was never with this Disciple's personal consent!"
"Therefore, this matter can at most be considered a private affair, and certainly not this Disciple publicly dual cultivating with the Sect Master's wife."
As he spoke, he added, "On that day, when this Disciple departed from the Immortal Cave, he did not speak a single word to the true Disciples of the Eight Sects throughout the entire process. Many people can testify to this."
The "Netherblood" Ancestor listened calmly, his expression still showing no change.
This was still a matter of exchange of benefits.
The difference from earlier was merely that the Saint wanted to secretly use the Sect Master's Cultivation Materials, but unexpectedly, he was discovered and the news spread.
The handling method remained the same as before.
At this moment, Su Lijing let out a cold snort. With the Ancestor present, he could only forcefully restrain his anger. His gaze turned chilling as he looked at Pei Ling and said coldly, "What about that time in the Eternal Night Desert? Many Grand Elders from the Reincarnation Tower, Heavenly Born Sect, Han An Sword Sect, Liulan Dynasty, and Yanxi City were present and heard it clearly!"
"You not only publicly dual cultivated with this Master's legal wife, but you also spoke wildly, personally calling Si Hong Qingyan your Cauldron!"
"If this isn't considered public, then what is?"
"This matter is now known throughout the world!"
"The Reincarnation Tower and Heavenly Born Sect can both testify."
"With such conclusive evidence, how dare you deceive the Ancestor? What are you trying to do?!"
This matter was truly too humiliating, and Su Lijing originally didn't want to bring it up. But this Pei Ling actually claimed that his relationship with Si Hong Qingyan was a private affair?
This was simply ridiculous to the extreme!
Did he really think everyone in the world was blind?
If it were truly a private affair, how could it have become known to everyone in the entire world?
However, the other party's blatant lies in front of the Ancestor actually gave him an Opportunity.
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling was momentarily stunned. How did the Sect Master know about that time in the Eternal Night Desert?
No!
Now was not the time to ponder this question!
He immediately said, "That time, the wife actively came to meet this Disciple in private. The talk of 'Cauldron' was merely a jest between lovers."
"As for how the Reincarnation Tower and Heavenly Born Sect, and the like, came to know, this Disciple is completely unaware."
"This Disciple has absolutely no intention of deceiving the Ancestor. The wife can testify to this!"
Su Lijing snorted coldly. Have his wife come to testify?
That would be even better!
So, he looked at Si Hong Hanrong and asked, "Senior Si Hong, where is Si Hong Qingyan now?"
Si Hong Hanrong frowned. He now had no desire to get involved in the affairs between the Saint and the Sect Master. After a brief thought, he quickly said, "Qingyan hasn't returned to Floating Light Pool for a long time. This old man doesn't know her whereabouts right now."
Seeing the Si Hong Clan's timidity, Su Lijing frowned, about to say something more, when he saw the "Netherblood" Ancestor speak indifferently, "Enough!"
With the Ancestor's command, both Su Lijing and Pei Ling immediately fell silent. The entire Inheritance Hall instantly became quiet.
The "Netherblood" Ancestor casually glanced at the two individuals involved. Such meaningless arguments were simply wasting his time.
The essence of this matter had never changed from the beginning.
No matter how much these two juniors said, benefits were always benefits.
Thinking of this, the "Netherblood" Ancestor looked at Su Lijing and asked, "Has Si Hong Qingyan fallen?"
Su Lijing was startled, then shook his head, "No."
The Ancestor asked again, "Has her cultivation regressed?"
Su Lijing shook his head again, "No."
The "Netherblood" Ancestor nodded slightly. Since the Sect Master's Dual Cultivation Materials were not damaged, it would not affect the Sect Master's future Cultivation. Although the Saint secretly used the Sect Master's Cultivation Materials, the Sect Master's only loss was merely a few fewer times of using the Materials for Cultivation.
Such a minor matter was easy to handle.
Thus, the "Netherblood" Ancestor said, "This Ancestor has completely clarified the ins and outs of this matter."
"This matter is the Saint's fault."
"He shall be fined ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones."
Upon hearing this, the many Grand Elders and the Old Ancestors of the three clans showed no change in expression.
However, Pei Ling and Su Lijing, as the protagonists of this matter, both looked astonished.
Ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones??
This... is very good!
Very good!
Pei Ling quickly reacted, his heart filled with joy. The Cultivation Resources he had obtained from the Li Clan last time were more than ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones!
According to his original expectations, he would definitely have to compensate with a huge amount of Resources, a huge amount of Spirit Stones, accept the Saint Sect's punishment... and even the Nine A Li Clan, who wanted to protect him, would have to pay an extremely heavy price.
But who would have thought that with the Ancestor's intervention, a mere ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones would suffice?
Thinking of this, Pei Ling immediately responded, "This Disciple obeys!"
Thus, he immediately began to count the Spirit Stones.
Hearing Pei Ling's voice, Su Lijing finally reacted. Had this "Netherblood" Ancestor Cultivated himself silly in seclusion?
When this brat Pei Ling became the Saint and married the Saintess Li Lieyue, the congratulatory gifts he sent alone were more than ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones!
Although he had long anticipated that this "Netherblood" Ancestor would help Pei Ling, he never expected the Ancestor to be so biased!
He took a deep breath and asked, "May I ask Ancestor, if Pei Ling were to attack this Disciple's legal wife again in the future, what should be done?"
The Ancestor gave Su Lijing a faint glance and replied without hesitation, "Then he shall be fined another ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones."
Immediately after, he added, "This matter ends here."
"Do either of you have any objections to this outcome?"
Pei Ling immediately said, "This Disciple has no objections. Ancestor is discerning and impartial, this Disciple is completely convinced."
Su Lijing's gaze flashed with coldness, but in the end, he also respectfully said, "This Disciple also has no objections."
The "Netherblood" Ancestor nodded slightly and said faintly, "As an Ancestor, this Ancestor will not favor any party, but will only handle matters impartially."
"Since both of you are satisfied with this outcome, then that is naturally for the best."
Immediately, he commanded, "All of you may disperse. Pei Ling, stay."
Everyone bowed in unison, "Yes!"
Soon, Su Lijing, the Old Ancestors of the three clans, the Grand Elders... including Old Woman Yin, who was guarding the door, all exited the Inheritance Hall. Beneath the blood throne, only Pei Ling remained standing alone.
The "Netherblood" Ancestor immediately said, "Tell me everything about the process of Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity."
Pei Ling nodded and said, "Yes!"
"This Disciple was invited by Young Sect Master Ji Changfu of the Heavenly Born Sect to seek Opportunity in the Eternal Night Desert, and then entered the Fallen Immortal Dream Realm..."
Chapter 963: The Detoxification Pill of Silence. (Second update! Please subscribe!)
“In the dream, a wisp of Fallen Immortal Will awakened and usurped the Disciple's Physical Body to undergo Soul Transformation…”
“The Disciple desperately circulated his Cultivation Technique and finally awoke from the dream, regaining control of his Physical Body…”
“Only then did he discover that the Fallen Immortal Will had first refined an Incarnation using the Nine Tribulations of Soul Transformation…”
“After the Incarnation was refined, it was the Yin and Yang Myriad Tribulations…”
“What the Disciple truly did during that Soul Transformation was merely pass through a Myriad Tribulations…”
A moment later, Pei Ling recounted the entire process of his Myriad Tribulations Soul Transformation, attributing the most crucial parts of his Myriad Tribulations Soul Transformation to the Fallen Immortal Will, while not mentioning the Fallen Immortal Will remaining within his Incarnation.
The "Netherblood" Ancestor listened quietly, then looked above Pei Ling's head.
A moment later, the Ancestor suddenly said, “Your next Opportunity for Reversion to Void is in the You Su Tomb.”
“You may go once your Cultivation reaches the Peak of Soul Transformation.”
Pei Ling was startled, then nodded. “Thank you for the Ancestral Master's guidance.”
The "Netherblood" Ancestor said no more and began to close his eyes and rest.
Seeing this, Pei Ling immediately understood that he could leave.
He bowed respectfully. “Disciple takes his leave.”
The "Netherblood" Ancestor nodded slightly.
Pei Ling cautiously exited the Inheritance Hall.
After he left, only the Ancestor remained in the vast hall.
The Ancestor turned his head and looked towards the Eternal Night Desert again.
“Nine Tribulations Incarnation… Yin and Yang Myriad Tribulations…”
“He is a talent for Ascension.”
“Now, let's resolve the issue of the Eternal Night Desert first.”
With that, the Ancestor's figure instantly vanished.
***
Cui Lei Mountain.
The grass and trees were lush, and the flowers and willows were green.
Numerous birds and beasts resided there, presenting a thriving scene.
A figure flashed, and Pei Ling appeared in the Main Hall.
Without the slightest hesitation, he walked directly towards the Alchemy room.
A moment later, he arrived at the entrance of the Alchemy room and pushed open the door.
Inside the Alchemy room, Jin Su Mian's long hair was disheveled and tied up casually with a rope originally used to bundle Medicinal Pill ingredients. Her Dharma robe, which was originally resplendent and extremely beautiful, could now only barely show traces of its former luxury, appearing dull and gray, with many protective runes extinguished. Her cheeks were smudged with gray and black, making her look extremely disheveled.
She was concentrating on controlling the Pill Fire to refine Medicinal Pills. When she suddenly heard the noise, she was immediately affected. The originally steady Pill Fire churned, and the Medicinal Liquid slowly fusing in the Pill Furnace immediately began to boil prematurely, emitting plumes of black smoke.
Jin Su Mian quickly composed herself, skillfully calmed the Pill Fire, and attempted to seal the Medicinal Liquid, making remedial efforts.
However, a moment later, a strange odor and black smoke emerged simultaneously, indicating the failure of this Alchemy attempt.
Her expression instantly turned very unpleasant, and she looked out the door with great dissatisfaction. But when she saw that the person was Pei Ling, she was first startled, then immediately bowed and said, “Senior Brother Pei!”
Pei Ling smiled slightly and said, “No need for formalities.”
After she stood up, he continued, “The Dao of Cultivation involves both tension and relaxation, and Alchemy is the same.”
“I heard you've been extremely diligent these past few days. It's time for you to rest a bit.”
Jin Su Mian listened, very happy, and said, “Yes! Thank you, Senior Brother, for your guidance.”
She then asked curiously, “When did Senior Brother return?”
Pei Ling said, “I just returned… By the way, have you developed the antidote for the Youji Town Life Pill?”
Upon hearing this, Jin Su Mian immediately furrowed her brows and said, “The main ingredients for the antidote have basically been determined: Red Yuan Ant Eggs, True Netherwater Essence, and Myriad Blood Stones… The specific proportions are…”
“Right now, there are too many auxiliary ingredients. I have temporarily deduced over a thousand different proportioning methods and am trying them out one furnace at a time.”
As she spoke, she took out a Jade Slip from her storage pouch.
At the same time, the System's notification sound rang: “Ding dong! Detecting an unfamiliar Pill Formula from outside, the System is currently recording it for you…”
Pei Ling was startled, but then heard Jin Su Mian continue, “These over a thousand proportioning methods are all recorded in this Jade Slip.”
“Senior Brother Pei's Alchemy skills are far superior to mine. If you have time, could you help me consult on it?”
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling immediately took the Jade Slip. Before he even started to examine it, the System's notification sound rang again: “Ding dong! Recording successful, please name the host…”
As long as the Pill Formula was not problematic, the System could even record incomplete formulas. Among the over a thousand Medicinal Pill ingredient proportions that Jin Su Mian had deduced, there must be one correct Pill Formula!
Thinking of this, Pei Ling was delighted.
Once the antidote for the Youji Town Life Pill was formulated, he could complete the Alchemist Ancestor's fourth test, bringing him one step closer to inheriting the "Little Free Heaven"!
So, he casually glanced at the Jade Slip and quickly asked, “What is the name of the antidote?”
Jin Su Mian said, “For the official name, please instruct me, Senior Brother. I'm temporarily calling it the You Ji Detoxification Pill.”
Pei Ling nodded slightly, then named the newly recorded Medicinal Pill in the System interface.
Immediately after, he said, “Junior Sister Jin, you've worked hard.”
“Once this You Ji Detoxification Pill is successfully refined, what would Junior Sister like?”
Upon hearing this, Jin Su Mian's expression hesitated, then she tentatively asked, “Senior Brother Pei, do you have more test questions from the Lun Dan Grand Ceremony?”
“This test question has greatly improved my Alchemy skills.”
Pei Ling smiled slightly. “There will be soon.”
A moment later, he walked out of the Alchemy room.
Although the System had already recorded the You Ji Detoxification Pill, due to the Pill Furnace and Pill Fire, he did not dare to use System Hosting within the Sect at all.
“The refinement of this You Ji Detoxification Pill can only be attempted in the 'Little Free Heaven'.”
“However, it's not the right time yet.”
“I just returned to the Sect and still have a lot of matters to deal with.”
“After all matters are handled, I will enter the 'Little Free Heaven' for Alchemy and Cultivation.”
“Also, Jin Su Mian's Cultivation is a bit too low.”
“The Alchemist Ancestor's tests will become increasingly difficult. I need to find a way to help her improve her Cultivation…”
As he was thinking, a voice came from outside the Immortal Cave: “Saint, is it convenient to meet now?”
“What instructions does Father have?” Pei Ling immediately recognized it as Li Wujiu's voice. He quickly opened the Immortal Cave and personally went out to greet him.
He saw a man identical to Li Wujiu standing outside the Immortal Cave with his hands behind his back, only his aura was much weaker compared to the Li Wujiu he had seen last time.
Walking into the Main Hall with Pei Ling accompanying him, the man spoke: “I am an Incarnation of Li Wujiu. My main body has ordered you to go to the Immolation War battlefield now to achieve meritorious service for the Saint Sect.”
“And to properly spread the prestige of the current Saint of the Saint Sect.”
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling said with difficulty, “But the Sect Master…”
Li Wujiu's Incarnation said calmly, “The Ancestor has already intervened in this matter. Su Lijing will surely not dare to attack the Saint again.”
“The Saint need not worry about this issue. Prepare yourself and depart immediately.”
Pei Ling frowned, but finally nodded and said, “I understand.”
Remember to vote after reading!
Come back to read on the third and fourth nights.
Chapter 964 Heading to Mount Jiuyi. (The third update! Please subscribe!)
Thousands of lakes dotted the boundless plains like stars.
The abundant moisture ensured that the area was perpetually shrouded in clouds and mist, and the vegetation flourished.
As night fell, the previously quiet mist surged wildly, and then, a blood sedan appeared faintly from the mist, flying away into the distance.
It came and went like lightning, a fleeting glimpse, yet its ominous and bizarre presence was almost tangible, like a demon or a ghost.
Inside the blood sedan, in a space far more spacious than its exterior suggested, Pei Ling sat in the center, having changed into a dark-bottomed brocade robe woven with gold.
His aura was now restrained, showing no hint of his cultivation. Although he was heading to the battlefield, his demeanor and conduct, compared to when he first entered the Sect, had gained a natural composure.
A specially made sound transmission talisman floated before him, its runes flickering, transmitting a clear voice, which belonged to Li Lieyue: "...I am currently on the Ci Province battlefield."
"When you arrive, come find me immediately."
Pei Ling nodded, saying gently, "No problem, I'll be there very soon!"
Li Lieyue said nothing more and cut off the transmission.
Seeing the sound transmission talisman extinguish, Pei Ling waved his hand to put it away and pondered slightly.
After receiving the command from Li Wujiu’s Incarnation, he, to be safe, specifically used sound transmission talismans to confirm with Li Wujiu's true body and Old Ancestor Li. Only after confirming there were no issues did he set off.
The most fundamental reason the Li Clan urged him to the battlefield this time was because of Su Lijing's arrangements; they had gained too little from this great war.
Currently, Su Lijing refused to budge, still assigning the Nine A Li Clan the most arduous, exhausting, and dangerous tasks, while all lucrative assignments were divided between the Pillow Stone Su Clan and the Floating Light Si Hong Clan.
As a result, even after the Immolation War had been fought for so long, the Li Clan couldn't even get a sip of soup, let alone eat meat; they couldn't even gnaw on leftover bones. Witnessing the Su Clan and Si Hong Clan, who were also among the Saint Sect's Three Great Clans, earning vast sums daily and nightly, while they toiled like oxen and horses for nothing, the entire Li Clan was seething with indignation.
And Pei Ling was a Myriad Tribulations Soul Transformation, and his cultivation had already reached the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation!
The Li Clan thus planned to have him replace Little Floating Slaughter of the Reincarnation Tower, becoming the foremost figure among the younger generation of the Holy Path, to lead all Prodigies of the Holy Path's peer generation, and thereby help the Li Clan acquire sufficient resources.
Currently, Li Lieyue had already, according to clan instructions, used Zhong Kui Yueji, the Myriad Tribulations Soul Transformation of the Pseudo-Dao, as an excuse to invite Little Floating Slaughter of the Reincarnation Tower, the Emperor's Son of Wu Shi Villa, and many other Prodigies of this generation from the Holy Path. They were just waiting for Pei Ling's arrival, after which he would suppress the entire scene with his own power, thereby truly becoming famous in one battle and dominating his peers!
Yes, the Nine A Li Clan, or rather, the entire Chongming Sect, had no intention of exposing that Zhong Kui Yueji was not a Myriad Tribulations Soul Transformation.
In fact, they even wanted to further solidify his reputation as a Myriad Tribulations Soul Transformation; for such a ready-made achievement, the higher his prestige, the better!
As for Sect Master Su Lijing, the "Netherblood" Ancestor had spoken. Before the Ancestral Master entered seclusion again, Su Lijing, if he had any sense, would not possibly attack him.
Moreover, Old Ancestor Li would personally help him keep an eye on Su Lijing. For now, he was told to just go to the battlefield and make a name for himself, without worrying about anything else...
Thinking of this, Pei Ling sighed slightly.
He just wanted to Cultivate quietly and well. Right now, it was one thing after another, and he didn't know when this Battle Between the Righteous and the Demonic would end.
And You Su Tomb...
You Su Tomb was one of the Four Great Cursed Grounds, incredibly dangerous. After the Tianwai Island Opportunity, when You Su Tomb appeared, all the Nine Sects' successors present fled frantically at any cost.
Even so, it was only with the rescue efforts of their respective Sect elders that they managed to escape with their lives.
The "Netherblood" Ancestor, however, said that his Returning to Void Opportunity was in You Su Tomb.
For this, when Pei Ling went to see Old Ancestor Li just now, he specifically inquired about the situation in You Su Tomb.
Unlike the Eternal Night Desert, You Su Tomb, as a dwelling place for myriad ghosts, could only be entered by the dead.
The living, upon entering, would immediately turn into the dead.
Of course, if a Cultivator had profound cultivation and secret techniques to lock their fate, they could survive inside for a period.
Under normal circumstances, reaching the Returning Void Stage of cultivation provided the minimum qualification to explore You Su Tomb... provided one's luck wasn't too bad.
"Old Ancestor said my current cultivation strength is already comparable to an ordinary early Returning to Void Cultivator."
"Once my cultivation reaches the Peak of Late Stage Soul Transformation, I should be qualified to enter You Su Tomb..."
"Moreover, I now have the Evil Slaying Banner for protection, and the Fallen Immortal Will secretly assisting me..."
"After completing Alchemist Ancestor's test, I will also gain another trump card like ‘Little Free Heaven’."
"However, it would be best if I could break through to Returning to Void using the System without having to go to You Su Tomb."
As Pei Ling pondered silently, the blood sedan flew swiftly. With his current strength, and this blood sedan being a Soul Transformation Stage Magic Treasure specially taken from the Li Clan's treasury, its escape speed was naturally excellent. Soon, it left the Chongming Sect's territory.
※ ※ ※
Chongming Sect.
Tian Geng Palace.
Study.
Bookcases reaching the ceiling were filled with a dazzling array of Jade Slips, bamboo scrolls, and beast hide manuscripts... piled densely.
These scrolls and classics were all imbued with immense power, clearly priceless treasures in themselves, not to mention the preciousness of the content recorded at such a cost.
Between the bookshelves, there was a table and a chair. The table was empty except for a plum vase, in which several branches of elegantly colored spiritual flowers were obliquely inserted, emitting a light, pure fragrance that could calm a Cultivator's mind.
Su Lijing sat casually on the chair, playing with two Myriad Tribulations Profound Iron Orbs in his hands.
His aura was steady, his expression unruffled, but gradually, the Myriad Tribulations Profound Iron Orbs in his hands suddenly turned into dust.
At this moment, footsteps echoed from the doorway, followed by someone pushing the door open and bowing respectfully: "Sect Master, the Saint has already left the Sect and is heading towards the Jiuyi Mountain Immolation War battlefield. Should we act now?"
Su Lijing looked coldly at his subordinate.
The subordinate immediately felt a sudden, bone-chilling coldness. He didn't know what he had said wrong and quickly prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to utter a single word.
Su Lijing watched his subordinate for a moment before turning away, his voice cold: "The Ancestral Master has already spoken on this matter."
"The Nine A Li Clan is just waiting for this Sect Master to act!"
"Waiting for this Sect Master to make a mistake!"
"If this Sect Master truly doesn't even have that much patience..."
He stopped there, instead looking up and out.
He saw an old man in splendid robes, but with a pale face and no Life Qi around him, appear without warning.
It was Old Ancestor Su, Su Dai!
Su Lijing immediately bowed: "Old Ancestor."
Su Dai nodded, then looked at the subordinate.
Seeing this, Su Lijing immediately ordered: "Withdraw!"
The subordinate quickly bowed and retreated.
Chapter 965: The Ancestor's Far-sightedness. (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
When only the two of them remained in the study, Su Dai finally said, "Before the Netherblood Ancestor enters seclusion again, do not act rashly."
"The Nine A Li Clan has now sent Pei Ling to the battlefield of the Immolation War. This seems like an opportunity, but in reality, it is a trap set by the Nine A Li Clan."
"You must not make a move."
"Nor should you let your subordinates make a move."
"Now, both the Saint and Saintess are from the Li Clan. Once they catch hold of any handle on you, the Li Clan will definitely report it to the Ancestral Master and order you to abdicate early, so that the current Saint and Saintess can take charge of the Saint Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Su Lijing showed no surprise, only frowning as he replied, "Of course I know such things."
"The biggest problem now is, when will the Netherblood Ancestor enter seclusion again?"
"Pei Ling's Cultivate speed is too fast."
"From the time he became the Saint until now, it hasn't even been a full year, yet his cultivation has already Broken through from the early Nascent Soul stage to the Middle Stage Soul Transformation stage, and what's more, he is a Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity!"
"Perhaps in just another hundred years, his cultivation Realm will be equal to ours now."
"At that time, even without the Ancestral Master's protection, it will be very difficult for us to deal with him."
Su Dai calmly said, "The Ancestral Master came out of seclusion because of the anomaly in the Eternal Night Desert. As long as the problem in the Eternal Night Desert is resolved, he will most likely enter seclusion again. It definitely won't take a hundred years."
"Don't be impatient."
"The Holy Path prioritizes the strong; just wait patiently for now."
"As long as you don't make mistakes during this period, even if the Ancestral Master favors Pei Ling, your position as Sect Master will not be shaken."
"After the Ancestral Master enters seclusion, with the Sect's power in your hands, there will be plenty of ways to deal with Pei Ling!"
"No matter how precious and rare a Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity is, a fallen Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity is worthless."
Su Lijing nodded, "I know what to do, Old Ancestor, you don't need to worry."
"In that case."
Su Dai nodded, "Then I am relieved."
With that, just as he had arrived, his figure vanished without a trace.
In the spacious study, only Su Lijing remained.
He snorted coldly; the Netherblood Ancestor's emergence from seclusion had completely disrupted all his plans!
Now, he only hoped that old geezer would hurry back into seclusion for good!
As soon as that old geezer entered seclusion, he would immediately make his move.
Although Pei Ling still had the protection of the Nine A Li Clan behind him, he also had the Pillow Stone Su Clan as his aid.
"For the sake of that old geezer, I'll let you live a few more days..."
***
Pillow Stone Su Clan Ancestral Land.
In a barren courtyard, Su Dai stood with his hands behind his back.
The Incarnation of Su Qianya, who had rushed over, saw him and quickly bowed, asking, "What are the Old Ancestor's instructions?"
Su Dai asked indifferently, "Are there any female relatives in the Clan around Pei Ling's age? They must have outstanding Aptitude and peerless beauty."
Su Qianya's Incarnation was stunned. Although he didn't understand what the Old Ancestor was planning, he quickly replied, "My daughter, Lineage Master Su Zuiqi, her Aptitude is only second to Zhen He, and she is currently one of the Lords of the Pulse of the Three Veins. In this Immolation War, due to repeated engagements with Pseudo-Dao Cultivators, after a period of tempering, she is on the verge of Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage."
"Both in terms of Aptitude and appearance, she is the cream of the crop among the women of this generation in the Clan."
Su Dai nodded slightly.
Currently, the Su Clan had repeatedly offended Pei Ling. This was originally not a big deal, but this Pei Ling was already a Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity, and he had the Ancestral Master personally protecting him.
It would be fine if he died prematurely, but once he truly grew up, he would definitely become a major hidden danger for the Su Clan!
Therefore, as the Old Ancestor on duty for the Su Clan this century, he had to be prepared with two contingencies, so as not to bring a promising great enemy upon the Su Clan.
If the Sect Master could successfully deal with Pei Ling, that would naturally be for the best.
Su Lijing was, after all, of the Su Clan Bloodline. Even if he became less obedient after taking charge of the Saint Sect, he still recognized the Su Clan as his true family.
If the Sect Master failed... it wouldn't matter either!
If the Nine A Li Clan could win over Pei Ling with a Saintess, did his Pillow Stone Su Clan not have daughters?
However, a mere Lineage Master Su Zuiqi might not be enough to turn the tide and make peace with Pei Ling.
He needed to find another female relative with a higher cultivation level.
Thinking of this, Su Dai continued, "Pei Ling has already gone to the Jiuyi Mountain battlefield. Send word to Lineage Master Su Zuiqi to find a way to get close to him."
"In addition, find another female relative from the Clan who is above the Reversion stage, preferably with a Dao Companion, but it doesn't matter if she doesn't, but her beauty must be unparalleled."
"After finding her, secretly send her to Pei Ling... These two matters must not be known to the Sect Master!"
Upon hearing this, Su Qianya's Incarnation was instantly stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
***
A few days later.
Jiuyi Mountain.
Ci Province battlefield.
The land was scarred, everywhere scorched and crimson.
Above the sky, dark clouds rolled, and a cold wind howled. Between the clouds, a towering city gate tower loomed faintly.
The city gate tower was bone-white, seemingly constructed entirely from human bones.
On the city walls, every few steps, there was a pair of skull lamps, burning with a faint blue cold light, illuminating the shadowy figures within the city.
There were many figures, yet they were silent. Upon closer inspection, they were bizarre and grotesque, like demons, terrifying and strange.
At this moment, within the city, countless vengeful spirits and corpse ghosts trembled and prostrated themselves.
In the four directions of northeast, south, and west, there was a luxurious and spacious white bone throne.
The Little Floating Slaughter of the Reincarnation Tower sat facing south, subtly taking the lead. Below him stood Tu Ci, Cen Shuo, and Wen Xiang, along with many Core Formation stage Disciples;
The Saintess of the Chongming Sect, Li Lieyue, occupied the eastern throne. She was still dressed in a black gauze dress, looking enchanting as a peach blossom and cold as ice. Below her were Si Hongduo, Lineage Master Si Honglan, Lineage Master Su Zuiqi, Li Hange, and several others, along with many Core Formation stage Disciples;
The Imperial Son of Wu Shi Villa sat on the southern throne, holding a jade gourd and sipping lazily. He appeared unconcerned, yet he subtly confronted the Little Floating Slaughter. Like him, his Disciples, such as Jue Xinzi and Jizhao Zi, around his throne were all nonchalant; some were looking around, some were sitting in Cultivate, some were in high spirits, and more were pointing and discussing the Disciples of the other three Sects as if no one else was present;
On the remaining western throne sat a scruffy-looking Cultivator with a golden crown.
Had it not been for the fact that his subordinates were all dressed similarly in white robes and golden crowns, proving them to be Disciples of the Heavenly Born Sect, it would have been almost impossible to discern the original color of his Dharma robe.
At this moment, within this city gate tower, the aura of Young F屠tu Commander was the strongest, followed by the Imperial Son of Wu Shi Villa, and the Saintess of the Chongming Sect, Li Lieyue.
As for the Heavenly Born Sect, since the demise of the former Young Sect Master Ji Changfu, no new Young Sect Master had officially taken office.
Although Ren Zhuolin had successfully Broken through to the Celestial Infant of Superior Grade, due to the recent tense warfare, he had yet to officially ascend to the position and had not received the core Legacy of the Heavenly Born Sect. His strength was more than a cut below that of the other three great Demonic Sects.
At this time, Young F屠tu Commander slowly opened his mouth, "Junior Sister Li, why have you gathered us here this time?"
Li Lieyue calmly said, "The recent battles have seen our Holy Path losing more than winning, gradually falling into a disadvantage."
"Ultimately, it is because the Pseudo-Dao side emphasizes unity, with one call leading to a hundred responses and a multitude of followers."
"Although we are individually strong and hold the upper hand, we are fighting separately, and two fists are no match for four hands, so we have no choice but to temporarily avoid their edge."
"Especially over the past month, reports from various battlefields have all indicated continuous retreats."
"If this continues, it will be extremely detrimental to the overall situation."
"The reason I invited everyone here today is to select a leader for this generation of our Holy Path, to coordinate the overall situation."
"Only then can we stabilize the situation and strike hard at the Pseudo-Dao."
"It is also to share the worries and difficulties of our respective elders and to echo the battlefields of the Sect Master and Grand Elder levels."
Upon hearing this, Young F屠tu Commander looked at Li Lieyue in surprise, then smiled sinisterly.
Among the younger generation of the Holy Path, he had always been the strongest in cultivation.
Previously, Si Hongduo of the Floating Light Si Hong Clan of the Chongming Sect could barely contend with him.
But after being imprisoned in the Due Abyss for so many years, even if he came out now, not to mention being completely crippled, he no longer had the qualifications to compete with him.
Therefore, if a leader for the younger generation of the Holy Path were truly to be chosen, it could only be him!
Thinking of this, Young F屠tu Commander said directly, "The Dao has Reincarnation, and fortune has its ebb and flow."
"Junior Sister Li's proposal is far-sighted and very good."
"I have no objections at all."
Chapter 966: The Position of the Holy Path Leader. (First update! Please subscribe!)
Jiuyi Mountain.
Scorched earth everywhere, a thousand li of barren land.
Across the vast land, large and small craters filled the view, covered with traces of Daoist Magic from both the righteous and Demonic Path.
A stench of blood and char intermingled and permeated the air.
White bones lay exposed in the wilderness, and resentful spirits wandered, a scene of human misery.
A blood sedan broke through the air.
Inside the blood sedan, Pei Ling was Cultivating while traveling at full speed.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes. In his Divine Thought, a city-gate-shaped flying Magic Treasure appeared in front of him, suspended high in the air.
This was precisely Ci Province Yin Corpse City, as Senior Sister Li had mentioned, one of the important strongholds of the Devil Dao Four Sects in this area, and also the agreed meeting place for the young generation this time.
Pei Ling immediately sent a sound transmission: “Senior Sister Li, I’ve arrived.”
…At the same time.
In Yin Corpse City.
Prodigy from the Four Sects gathered. Although they completely disregarded the situation in the city, under the oppressive, almost tangible, tyrannical aura, the numerous Yin Corpses that had advanced by absorbing the resentful Qi of this place were as quiet as death, and the resentful spirits within the shadows dared not cause the slightest trouble.
On the throne to the north, Young F屠tu Commander, clad in a grey robe with his face hidden beneath a hood, his only visible eyes cold and eerie, nodded slightly: “Our Holy Path’s young generation should indeed elect a leader to command the Four Sects’ peers, to advance and retreat together, in order to immolate the Pseudo-Dao.”
As he spoke, he sent a sound transmission to Tu Ci, “After this is done, send a sum of resources to the Saintess as compensation.”
Tu Ci nodded imperceptibly, and replied via sound transmission: “Yes!”
Young F屠tu Commander was in a good mood at this moment. The Reincarnation Tower had protected this world for generations. The fundamental purpose of initiating this great war was to slaughter fifty percent of the world’s living beings.
But ever since the Immolation War began, Chongming Sect had been accumulating wealth everywhere; Heavenly Born Sect had been collecting Cauldron everywhere; Wu Shi Villa had been doing everything… Apart from their Reincarnation Tower which had not forgotten its original intention, the other three Sects were only doing their own things, truly a disorganized mess.
If not for the Pseudo-Dao side always considering the lives of Mortals, this war would have probably been lost long ago!
Now that there was an opportunity to lead the young generation of the other three Sects, he would not miss this opportunity no matter what.
The Chongming Sect Saintess’s suggestion perfectly suited his intentions.
At this moment, seeing Young F屠tu Commander agree, Li Lieyue showed no surprise, and immediately looked towards the Emperor’s Son of Wu Shi Villa.
She calmly asked: “I wonder, Senior Brother Yun Aozi, what do you think?”
The Emperor’s Son, with refined brows and bright eyes, in a brocade robe and feathered crown, slowly put down the jade gourd in his hand upon hearing this, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He was the Reincarnation of an Immortal Emperor. Although he was not interested in leading his peer Prodigy, since both Reincarnation Tower’s Young F屠tu Commander and Chongming Sect’s Saintess wanted to obey his command, he could agree to it.
Of course, although this leadership position was certainly his, the Chongming Sect Saintess, who had actively proposed this matter, and Reincarnation Tower’s Young F屠tu Commander, who was the first to agree, must also have ambitions for this position.
Next, an inevitable struggle would ensue.
The Chongming Sect’s Saintess goes without saying; among the top Prodigy of this generation, she was the youngest, and had been in the Saintess position for too short a time, having just broken through to the Late Stage Nascent Soul. She could never be his opponent. As for Reincarnation Tower’s Young F屠tu Commander… How could a mere Nine Tribulation Transformation God compare to a Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity?
And he, a while ago, with his Peak Late Stage Nascent Soul power, had exchanged ten blows with Zhong Kui Yueji, a Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity, and then calmly retreated!
Although Young F屠tu Commander’s Cultivation was higher than his right now, an Inferior Immortal was still just an Inferior Immortal.
It would be easy for him to crush the opponent across realms!
Thinking of this, the Emperor’s Son of Wu Shi Villa calmly replied: “The Pan Ya World is merely an Illusion Realm.”
“Right and wrong, success and failure, life and death, honor and disgrace, are all fleeting bubbles.”
“The so-called Immolation War is also just an illusion created by the Illusion Realm, for the purpose of tempering our Heart-Nature.”
“Leading our peers and contending with the Pseudo-Dao is also a form of experience.”
“Our Wu Shi Villa agrees to this matter.”
Li Lieyue nodded, showing no intention of asking the Heavenly Born Sect, and immediately said: “Since everyone agrees, then our Sect’s Saint will arrive in a few days. Before that, let’s discuss the candidate for leader.”
Upon hearing this, Heavenly Born Sect’s Ren Zhuolin frowned and immediately said: “Heaven gives birth to all things, but only Human Race is most noble. The Pseudo-Dao acts against the Dao, equating those with fur, horns, scales, and feathers with Human Race. This is a Heaven-Defying act, and will surely incur Heaven’s wrath.”
“However, although the Pseudo-Dao side has allied, they do not have a substantial leader.”
“Our Holy Path can also advance and retreat together, but we also don’t need any leader!”
“Therefore, what we truly need to discuss now is not the so-called leader candidate, but how to deal with the Pseudo-Dao.”
Ren Zhuolin was extremely displeased in his Heart-Nature.
Among the four Holy Path successors present, his strength was the lowest; he hadn't even secured the Young Sect Master position. This leader position would never fall to him, and the initiator, Li Lieyue, hadn't even bothered to ask for his opinion!
Why bother finding himself a leader to be constrained by?
Upon hearing this, before Li Lieyue could speak, Wu Shi Villa’s Emperor’s Son, Yun Aozi, already said very directly: “Why worry about winning or losing in a mere Illusion Realm battle?”
“Whether you are a leader or follow orders, as long as you can temper your Heart-Nature, identity and status are all fleeting clouds.”
“If you have an opinion, you don’t have to participate.”
“But once the leader is chosen, you, and all the true Inheritors and Core Formation and above Disciple of Heavenly Born Sect, must obey!”
Ren Zhuolin’s expression darkened. Just then, Young F屠tu Commander slowly spoke: “The cycles of Heaven have Reincarnation, and creation has its own ebb and flow.”
“Over these years, due to the Cultivator and Mortal’s insatiable demands, this world can no longer bear it.”
“If we don’t act quickly to solve the problem, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
“Therefore, it is imperative to quickly gain an advantage in the Immolation War.”
“Of course, everyone is fighting for this world, and our Reincarnation Tower will not let anyone suffer a loss.”
“Junior Brother Ren, rest assured, as long as I become the leader, Heavenly Born Sect’s rightful share will not be less!”
Saying this, he quickly sent a sound transmission to Ren Zhuolin, “When Junior Brother ascends to the Young Sect Master position in the future, our Reincarnation Tower will definitely give its full support, and will also present a grand gift.”
Hearing Young F屠tu Commander’s promise, Ren Zhuolin’s expression softened slightly, and then he replied via sound transmission: “My Heavenly Born Sect will not do anything to the death!”
Young F屠tu Commander immediately sent a sound transmission: “Agreed.”
In his opinion, this leader position was already his. The most important thing now was to win people over and quickly establish his legitimacy.
As for other matters, once he had the moral high ground and official title, there would be plenty of flexible ways to handle them.
At this moment, seeing that no one had any further objections, Li Lieyue was about to continue guiding the conversation towards the selection of a leader, when a familiar voice suddenly entered her ears: “Senior Sister Li, I’ve arrived.”
Chapter 967: Within Three Moves. (Second update! Please subscribe!)
Upon hearing this, Li Lieyue was slightly startled. Junior Brother Pei arrived so quickly!
She had originally thought that Junior Brother Pei would not arrive until another day, and she planned to first finalize the rules for electing the leader with Young F屠tu Commander and the Emperor's Son today.
That way, when Junior Brother Pei arrived, she would only need to briefly explain the situation, and he could directly proceed according to the sect's plan, without wasting any of his time…
However, since Junior Brother Pei had arrived early, there was no need for such trouble.
So she immediately sent a voice message in reply: "You've come at just the right time. Enter Yinshi City directly."
Pei Ling's voice transmission sounded again: "Good!"
While the two were communicating, the Emperor's Son asked, "Senior Sister Li, who do you think is most suitable for this leader position?"
Li Lieyue composed herself, then straightforwardly said, "Our Holy Path respects the strong. The leader must be the strongest among us!"
"Indeed!" Young F屠tu Commander immediately interjected, saying, "Among our peers, my cultivation is the highest. Naturally, it is most fitting for me to assume the position of leader."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor's Son shook his head and said indifferently, "You are merely an Inferior Immortal, with shallow foundation and a clouded Dao Heart. How can you bear such a heavy responsibility?"
"Even if your cultivation is higher, in terms of strength, you are not the strongest here. This leader position should rightfully be held by this Immortal Emperor."
Young F屠tu Commander calmly said, "Since the Emperor's Son is not convinced, then the two of us shall simply fight. Whoever wins shall be the leader."
The Emperor's Son nodded very decisively: "Good!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already made his move, and a massive phantom instantly rose behind him.
Its face bore a seventy to eighty percent resemblance to the Emperor's Son, with a tall crown and flowing robes, like an Immortal descending to the mortal realm. However, its aura was filled with extreme evil, appearing both Immortal and demonic, radiating malevolent Qi.
As soon as the Emperor's Son's Dharma Idol appeared, it struck a punch towards Young F屠tu Commander.
The fist-shadow was like a mountain, vast and majestic. As soon as it was unleashed, it caused many True Disciples present to gasp for breath, and those below True Disciple status were even worse, almost unable to stand.
Young F屠tu Commander's expression did not change in the slightest. He didn't even use a spell, merely striking out a simple palm.
A giant, pitch-black palm-force immediately blasted towards the Emperor's Son's Dharma Idol.
This palm strike was initially faint, but in an instant, it became as large as a mountain, its power immense, seeming to contain an extremely ominous force. Vaguely, it was even more terrifying than the Emperor's Son's Dharma Idol.
The distance between them was not far, and the fist and palm quickly approached. Just as they were about to collide, a bloody Saber Qi suddenly ripped through the air, its sharpness unparalleled, as if it had split this world into two.
Boom!!!
The fist-shadow and palm-force simultaneously struck the Saber Qi.
The fist-shadow was like a towering mountain pressing down, and the palm-force like surging black water sweeping across the world. However, both were blocked by the Saber Qi. Though they roared in every way, they could not advance even an inch.
Soon, the palm-force was ground away by the Saber Intent, and the Emperor's Son's Dharma Idol also retracted its fist-shadow.
Young F屠tu Commander and the Emperor's Son both frowned and looked towards Li Lieyue's direction.
They saw that beside Li Lieyue, a figure had appeared at some unknown time, dressed in a black robe with gold embroidery, wearing black boots with pink soles, and carrying a long saber on his back.
His aura was restrained, and his expression was calm.
At this moment, seeing everyone's gaze directed at him, Pei Ling immediately spoke, "I am Pei Ling, the current Saint of Chongming Sect."
"Everyone, I don't want to waste time."
"You all come at me together. I will only make three moves."
"Whether you endure three moves, or force me to draw my saber within these three moves, it counts as your victory!"
Upon hearing this, Young F屠tu Commander immediately frowned. Soul Transformation Stage Middle Stage!
The Emperor's Son, however, sneered and immediately said, "Pei Ling, although you are also a Reincarnation of an Immortal King, compared to me, an Immortal Emperor descending, your foundation is still significantly lacking."
"There's no need for everyone to come. I alone am enough!"
Saying this, the Dharma Idol behind him immediately moved, striking a palm towards Pei Ling.
Seeing this, Pei Ling said no more unnecessary words. The viscous, almost tangible Nether Sky Mist immediately permeated his surroundings.
In just an instant, the entire Yinshi City was enveloped by the Nether Sky Mist.
After a few breaths, the Nether Sky Mist gradually contracted towards the center.
Soon, all the darkness was reabsorbed into Pei Ling's body.
Li Lieyue stood beside Pei Ling, while the other Chongming Sect Disciples were all bewildered, not knowing what had just happened.
However, from the north, south, and west directions, the Disciples of the three sects—Reincarnation Tower, Wu Shi Villa, and Heavenly Born Sect—all lay weakly on the ground. Including Young F屠tu Commander, the Emperor's Son, and Ren Zhuolin, not a single one could stand up.
Seeing this scene, a look of surprise also appeared in Li Lieyue's beautiful eyes. Although she had known in advance about Pei Ling's Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity, and had long anticipated the outcome of this battle, she had absolutely not expected the battle to end so quickly!
Young F屠tu Commander, also in the Soul Transformation Stage, had no power to resist whatsoever against Junior Brother Pei.
At this moment, Pei Ling spoke, "Senior Sister Li, will you handle this?"
Li Lieyue quickly reacted, nodded, and said, "Good!"
She took a step forward, swept her gaze over all the Disciples of the three sects, and then said coldly, "The leader of the Holy Path belongs to the capable."
"You all have now been defeated by our sect's Saint. This leader position rightfully belongs to our sect's Saint!"
Saying this, she looked at Young F屠tu Commander and said, "Senior Brother Yu Pao, what do you think?"
Young F屠tu Commander took a deep breath, then replied, "My skills are inferior; I accept defeat!"
Li Lieyue nodded and said, "Since that is the case, please make a Heart Demon Oath, Senior Brother."
"During the upcoming Immolation War, all resources you obtain on the battlefield must be handed over to the Saint."
Young F屠tu Commander did not hesitate and immediately swore the oath: "Yu Pao of Reincarnation Tower, I swear by my Dao Heart, from this day until the end of the Immolation War, all resources obtained shall belong to Saint Peiling of Chongming Sect. Should I violate this, I shall suffer the condemnation of the world, and my Dao cultivation shall never advance!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling nodded slightly, then formed a hand seal to lift the Fallen Blood Curse from the Reincarnation Tower's group.
Young F屠tu Commander immediately felt a lightness throughout his body. Seeing that the other Reincarnation Tower Disciples had also returned to normal, he immediately led them away quickly.
Li Lieyue then looked at the Emperor's Son and asked, "Senior Brother Yun Aozi, what about you?"
The Emperor's Son looked at Pei Ling and asked in confusion, "You are not an Immortal King, but an Immortal Emperor?"
Pei Ling's expression was strange for a moment, but Li Lieyue replied without thinking, "Junior Brother Pei is indeed an Immortal Emperor from the Upper Realm."
The Emperor's Son immediately showed a look of understanding, then said, "No wonder!"
"My awakened memories are insufficient right now, which is why I was defeated by you."
"Next time, I will definitely win it back."
"However, I will not contend with Immortal Emperor Pei Ling for this leader position."
Seeing that the Emperor's Son agreed, Li Lieyue seized the opportunity and said, "Please make an oath, Senior Brother…"
A moment later, the Disciples of Wu Shi Villa and Heavenly Born Sect successively departed. In Yinshi City, only the Chongming Sect Disciples remained.

“Saint!”
“I never expected the Saint to be so powerful…”
“The Saint Sect shall prosper!”
“That move just now, it’s a pity I didn’t see anything clearly. Did you see it? How did Young F屠tu Commander and the Imperial Son lose?”
“No…”
“How can the Saint’s methods be measured by the likes of us?”
“Young F屠tu Commander is in the Soul Transformation Stage, yet he couldn’t even withstand a single blow from the Saint. Could it be that the Saint is already at the Peak of the Soul Transformation Stage?”
“It seems the Saint hasn’t been Cultivating for long…”
“A peerless Genius cannot be judged by common sense…”
Many Chongming Sect Disciples looked at Pei Ling, their eyes filled with heartfelt admiration and awe. For a time, they whispered among themselves, but no one dared to step forward and speak.
At this moment, Li Hange spoke, declaring with emotion, “He dominates his peers! The Prodigies of Reincarnation Tower, Wu Shi Villa, and Heavenly Born Sect gathered, yet even their combined efforts couldn’t withstand a single flick of the Saint’s sleeve! Truly worthy of being our Saint Sect’s top Prodigy! Our Saint shall greatly prosper!”
Upon hearing this, the other Disciples nodded in agreement: “That’s right! With a peerless Prodigy like the Saint in our Saint Sect, we will surely be able to lord over the other three Pseudo-Dao Sects, slaughter the world, and enslave all races!”
“Both the Saint and the Saintess are once-in-a-generation Geniuses. With these two, the Saint Sect’s future is limitless!”
“I wonder if the Pseudo-Dao’s so-called Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity, Prince Zhong Kui, is a match for the Saint…”
“Hmph! While Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity is formidable, compared to our Sect’s Saint, it’s merely relying on being older and having Cultivated for a longer time, using Realm to suppress others. If the Saint also Cultivated to Zhong Kui Yueji’s age, I’m sure the other party wouldn’t be able to do anything to the Saint!”
“Zhong Kui Yueji is the Crown Prince of the Liulan Dynasty, born an Imperial Son, and the resources and Cultivation teachings he enjoyed since childhood are simply incomparable to ordinary people. The Saint came from humble origins, so even if it’s a draw, the Saint wins!”
“Exactly!”
“The Holy Path has always been led by Wu Shi Villa. In our generation, because Young F屠tu Commander has the highest Cultivation, Reincarnation Tower has been particularly reserved. But now, with our Sect’s Saint leading his peers, it’s time for us to finally hold our heads high…”
Amidst the clamoring flattery, Si Hongduo stood quietly in a corner, frowning as he watched Pei Ling, not uttering a single word from beginning to end.
Not far from him was Lineage Master Su Zuiqi of the Pillow Stone Su Clan. She bit her lip, very unwilling.
The death of her elder brother, Su Zhenhe, was all because of this Pei Ling!
But at this moment, she lacked the strength. Not only could she not avenge her brother, but her clan had even given her a very shameful order…
Just as she was thinking, she heard Li Lieyue’s indifferent voice instructing, “The matter here is concluded. You may all leave.”
Upon hearing this, Li Hange quickly transmitted his voice, asking, “Senior Sister Hunt Moon, about the expedition against the Pseudo-Dao’s Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity…”
“You are not needed for this matter.” Li Lieyue replied directly via voice transmission, “What you need to do now is to spread the news of today’s events and enhance the Saint’s reputation!”
Li Hange nodded slightly: “Understood!”
Thus, seeing that Pei Ling had no objection, everyone bowed and withdrew.
After the crowd had completely dispersed, only Pei Ling and Li Lieyue remained in the entire Yin Corpse City.
Divine Thought swept across the entire city. Aside from the numerous Yin Corpses and vengeful spirits, which possessed only instincts and no sentience, still prostrate on the ground, continuously absorbing the Death Qi, corpse Qi, and resentful Qi emanating from the ground below with the aid of the Formation, there were no other living beings.
Pei Ling immediately, without any hesitation, wrapped an arm around Li Lieyue’s slender waist, drawing her into his embrace, and sat down on the White Bone Throne with her.
“Senior Sister, I miss you very much!” He said very directly, immediately lowering his head to kiss Li Lieyue’s crimson lips.
Li Lieyue showed no resistance whatsoever. Instead, she tightly hooked her arms around his neck, tilting her head to meet him.
Their lips met, a familiar softness and warmth.
The slightly sweet, bloody scent and the clear, cold fragrance like distant mountain snow intertwined and brewed in complete abandon.
A moment later, the two separated. Li Lieyue breathed slightly, then softly said, “There are elders from the clan watching here. Let’s go to my Chao Na Palace.”
Pei Ling immediately replied, “Good!”
***
At the foot of Jiuyi Mountain.
The Demonic Path’s main encampment.
The central army tent.
The teleportation Formation not far away shimmered with light. In a moment, Young F屠tu Commander appeared on the Formation with a group of True Disciples.
Everyone was silent, their expressions very grim.
“Have everyone else go Cultivate first.” Young F屠tu Commander stepped out of the Formation and walked without stopping towards the main tent, hastily transmitting a command to Tu Ci.
The central army tent of Reincarnation Tower was a Glazed Tile Pagoda of one hundred and eight stories, very similar to the towering pagoda at their headquarters.
With upturned eaves and ornate brackets, golden steps and jade railings, countless bronze bells hung all around. On each bell, a bloody eye gazed in all directions, day and night without rest.
Young F屠tu Commander strode inside without any hindrance, and in a moment, he arrived before a spacious quiet room.
He stopped, composed himself, and before he could speak, the door to the quiet room quietly opened, revealing the interior with bare walls, no decorations, and only a few prayer mats casually placed on the floor.
At this moment, on the top prayer mat, Grand Futu Order sat cross-legged, meditating with closed eyes.
Young F屠tu Commander stepped forward and bowed.
Grand Futu Order nodded slightly, then asked, “What is it?”
“Six months ago, the Crown Prince of the Pseudo-Dao’s Liulan Dynasty, Zhong Kui Yueji, achieved Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity in the Eternal Night Desert. This matter is now known to everyone in the world.” Young F屠tu Commander asked directly, “But, Grand Futu Order, did you witness it with your own eyes?”
Grand Futu Order opened his eyes in confusion and looked at him, but still said, “The Eternal Night Desert isolates external prying, so no one witnessed the specific process with their own eyes.”
“However, the Myriad Tribulations of the Soul Transformation Stage is absolutely true; everyone present witnessed it with their own eyes.”
“And after the Myriad Tribulations ended, Zhong Kui Yueji emerged from the Eternal Night Desert with Soul Transformation Cultivation. This, too, was seen by everyone.”
“Therefore, this matter cannot be false.”
“Why do you suddenly bring this up?”
Just as expected!
Young F屠tu Commander understood in his heart. It was rumored everywhere that Zhong Kui Yueji had achieved Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity, but in reality, no one had actually witnessed Zhong Kui Yueji achieving Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity!
And if he remembered correctly, Pei Ling was also present at the time. The other party openly engaged in lewd acts with Si Hong Qingyan, the wife of the Chongming Sect Master, in the White Bone Palace, and even openly claimed that the dignified Sect Master’s wife was merely his Cauldron… This was already known throughout the world.
The one who truly achieved Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity was not Zhong Kui Yueji, but Saint Pei Ling of the Chongming Sect!
Thinking of this, Young F屠tu Commander exhaled a turbid breath. Having been miserably defeated by Pei Ling today, he felt that the other party’s strength was abnormally strong.
Especially the darkness the other party displayed, which was almost identical to the Nether Sky Mist in the Eternal Night Desert.
This was tantamount to openly telling everyone that the other party must have obtained some great Opportunity in the Eternal Night Desert.
At this point, Young F屠tu Commander raised his head and said, “Just now, I exchanged blows with Saint Pei Ling of the Chongming Sect in Yin Corpse City. I was defeated in two moves, without any power to resist.”
“The one who truly achieved Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity is not Zhong Kui Yueji of the Liulan Dynasty, but Pei Ling of the Chongming Sect!”
Chapter 969 Senior Sister (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
The Grand Futu Order fell silent.
After a moment, he slowly said, “The Pseudo-Dao does not have Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity; this is not a bad thing.”
The Young F屠tu Commander frowned and said, “The cycle of Heaven, the ebb and flow of creation. Now Pei Ling has become the leader of the Holy Path’s younger generation, yet the Chongming Sect is inherently greedy. The entire Sect, from top to bottom, only desires to accumulate wealth. Even after a Disciple is defeated, the Heart Demon oath issued by his Saintess requires all resources obtained on the battlefield to be handed over.”
“Such a change might have a considerable impact on our Holy Tower’s great mission.”
The Grand Futu Order shook his head and said indifferently, “The Chongming Sect is indeed not presentable.”
“But this Pei Ling dares to Cultivate even the Sect Master’s wife, which shows his arrogant nature and unrestrained heart.”
“Observing his actions since entering the Dao, he is truly wanton and reckless.”
“He often commits acts of slaughtering cities and exterminating clans; his killing intent is profound.”
“Most importantly, he is not afraid of death at all!”
“For this child to lead the Holy Path’s younger generation aligns perfectly with our mission.”
“Next, you should find an opportunity to connect with him more.”
“For someone like him, his own will will certainly outweigh the Sect’s tasks.”
“With his Cultivation of Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity, once he starts slaughtering the common people, the effect will be excellent.”
“Remember, what we want is not power or status in this world.”
“But to uphold Heaven and Earth.”
“Fame, fortune, and eternal glory are all but dust.”
“We only seek the peace of Heaven and Earth, and we will not regret dying a hundred times.”
“Therefore, as long as this Pei Ling practices the Chongming Sect’s ancestral teaching of slaughtering the world, then, even if he himself is a Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity and consumes a great deal, at least before he puts down his butcher’s knife, he will be our ally.”
The Young F屠tu Commander was slightly stunned, pondered seriously for a moment, and then nodded, “Yes!”
***
Chao Na Palace.
Side hall.
In the empty hall, the most conspicuous piece of furniture was a wide bed in the center.
At this moment, the gauze curtains hung low, like smoke and mist.
The layered curtains, hanging down, rose without wind, and the silver bells hanging from the four corners made rhythmic crisp sounds.
Before the screen, a lamp flickered, and circles of dim light illuminated the flickering figures in the hall, sometimes separating, sometimes merging, overlapping like a pile.
After a long period of passionate intimacy, Li Lieyue lay in Pei Ling’s arms, her dark hair disheveled, and the blush on her usually slightly pale cheeks lingered, still breathing slightly.
The hall was silent for a moment, and she suddenly said, “For the next period, do not go anywhere; just stay in the Palace with me.”
Pei Ling said, “Okay!”
Immediately, he added in a good mood, “Now that Ancestral Master has stepped forward for me, the Sect Master will not act against me for a short time. We can Cultivate well for a while!”
Before he finished speaking, Li Lieyue immediately snorted coldly and asked, “Are the rumors between you and the Madam true?”
Pei Ling’s expression stiffened, and he immediately realized he had let slip, quickly saying, “Absolutely not!”
“How profound is the Madam’s Cultivation?”
“How could a mere Disciple like me Cultivate the Madam?”
“This is just a rumor spread by the Pseudo-Dao to sow discord between me and the Sect Master!”
“It’s laughable that Su Lijing, the dignified Sect Master, actually believes it and cannot distinguish truth from falsehood.”
“Fortunately, the ‘Nether Blood’ Ancestor came out of seclusion in time. The Ancestral Master is wise and mighty, discerning and insightful, seeing through the Pseudo-Dao’s trick at a glance…”
As she listened, Li Lieyue did not wait for Pei Ling to finish. She suddenly sat up, pushed Pei Ling back with a backhand, and straddled his waist. As she moved, her long dark hair spread out like an ink-colored cloak. As her hair flew, it was like a layer of dark night, spreading over the accumulated snow on a high cliff.
Crystal clear, pure white, stunning.
She leaned forward, appearing even more slender, elegant, and uniquely beautiful, and whispered into Pei Ling’s ear, “No need to explain! I already know what I need to know.”
“Do you remember what I once said?”
“In the Saint Sect, the strong are respected!”
“Since your current Cultivation strength surpasses mine, then whatever you do is correct!”
“My man must be strong!”
“And why should a strong person care about others’ opinions!”
With that, she lowered her head and kissed him fiercely.
After a long time, the two finally separated, their eyes full of desire, and their breathing quickened as they looked at each other.
Seeing Li Lieyue being so understanding, Pei Ling felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.
After hesitating for a while, he explained very conservatively, “Senior Sister Li… Actually, I… It was only once… And… It was an accident…”
Li Lieyue merely snorted coldly and did not reply.
Seeing that Li Lieyue no longer paid attention to him, Pei Ling said with an unnatural expression, “It was indeed more than once, three times in total, but I was forced… Her Cultivation was so high, I couldn’t resist her…”
“Uh… I wasn’t really forced, but all three times were accidents…”
“Alright, it wasn’t an accident, I could do as I pleased…”
Upon hearing this, Li Lieyue suddenly spread her hand, and her fingernails instantly grew like blades, revealing a cold gleam. Spiritual power swirled around them, emitting an extremely dangerous aura.
The next moment, she clawed towards Pei Ling’s heart!
Whoosh!
Almost at the same time, Pei Ling grabbed her wrist, easily breaking her attack.
Li Lieyue pointed her other hand in the air, and a cold, chilling gray flame appeared out of nowhere, blasting towards Pei Ling.
Pei Ling did not dodge, allowing the gray flame to hit him. Dark red patterns flashed around his body, and the flames dispersed instantly, but he was unharmed.
He immediately grabbed both of Li Lieyue’s hands and crossed them, pressing them firmly against the bed with his left hand, while his right hand lifted one of her thighs.
“Ah…”
Li Lieyue immediately let out a soft and melodious sound, her neck suddenly arching, like a subdued swan, looking exceptionally alluring.
Pei Ling’s heart warmed. He smiled and said, “Senior Sister Li, you’re being a bit naughty.”

The curtains danced, seemingly like clouds gathering and dispersing.
The sound of bells was like a sudden downpour on banana leaves, each chime clear, as if seeping into the heart.
The lamp in front of the screen flickered erratically, yet it could only illuminate a small area.
In the obscurity untouched by the dim light, shadows constantly shifted and overlapped into various shapes, like an enchanting dream in a daze, bizarre and chaotic.
Li Lieyue's long eyelashes were slightly lowered, her eyes hazy, like a deep pool filled with mist on a moonlit night. Amidst the haziness, an occasional shimmer could be seen. Her brows furrowed slightly, "【CENSORED 27 characters】: "【CENSORED 6 characters】... I... I don't care... anymore..."
Seeing that Senior Sister Li could forgive him for this, Pei Ling completely relaxed. He was hesitating 【CENSORED 51 characters】.
【CENSORED 32 characters】
【CENSORED 25 characters】.
Pei Ling immediately 【CENSORED 6 characters】, and instantly disregarded those minor matters, 【CENSORED 13 characters】.
The dressing mirror in the corner reflected a corner of the restless curtains.
※ ※ ※
Three days and three nights later.
Chao Na Palace.
Bath Chamber.
In the lotus-shaped jade pool, the water was clear and the sound of water was loud.
Layers of gauze curtains hung from the ceiling, like mist at dawn, thick and ethereal, seemingly wanting to conceal yet dissipate, a delicate hesitation.
A moment later, 【CENSORED 17 characters】.
Li Lieyue 【CENSORED 9 characters】, her black hair spread behind her, floating and sinking on the water, like an ink-colored cotton hibiscus in full bloom.
A few strands were wet by the pool water, her pale face resembling a night-blooming cereus.
The pure white concealed in the darkness, holiness imbued with 【CENSORED 7 characters】 charm.
Pei Ling 【CENSORED 7 characters】.
【CENSORED 16 characters】
Just then, Jiaoni's voice suddenly came from outside: "Mas... Master, Young F屠tu Commander of Reincarnation Tower has come and wishes to see the Saint!"
Li Lieyue 【CENSORED 47 characters】 replied via voice transmission: "Tell him to wait!"
Outside the hall, Jiaoni lowered her gaze and knelt, saying, "Yes!"
Another hour passed, and Pei Ling ended his Cultivation, still feeling unfulfilled.
Meanwhile, ripples still shimmered in Li Lieyue's starry eyes, her black hair disheveled, as she leaned softly against him.
After slightly steadying his breathing, Pei Ling said, "Let's go see Young F屠tu Commander first, and then continue Cultivating when we return."
Li Lieyue 【CENSORED 7 characters】, and said, "Mm."
The two quickly changed into new robes. Once dressed, Pei Ling naturally embraced Li Lieyue and walked out.
At this moment, in the side hall of Chao Na Palace used for entertaining guests, the pale bone fire burned quietly, illuminating the entire hall.
Although every detail was clearly visible, there was still an lingering sense of chilling coldness throughout the entire palace.
In the guest seat, Young F屠tu Commander sat with his sleeves folded, eyes closed in contemplation, waiting patiently.
Near the entrance of the hall were two Soul Servants with ink-colored eyes, both with double bun hairstyles and beautiful faces. Below their knees, their smoky skirts swayed as they stood quietly.
Time passed silently, and the surroundings were as quiet as death.
Suddenly, Young F屠tu Commander opened his eyes and looked towards the hall entrance.
The next moment, the several-zhang-tall door opened silently, and Pei Ling and Li Lieyue entered hand in hand.
"Saint, Saintess." Young F屠tu Commander immediately rose to greet them.
Pei Ling nodded slightly: "Young F屠tu Commander has waited a long time."
Li Lieyue did not speak, only nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
The two exchanged brief pleasantries before taking their seats as host and guest.
The serving maids at the door, without needing to be told, silently came to replace the tea cups and present spirit fruits and pastries.
Pei Ling picked up his tea and took a sip, then got straight to the point: "May I ask, Young F屠tu Commander, what is the purpose of your visit?"
Young F屠tu Commander said, "I received news these past few days that on the Pseudo-Dao side, Celestial Maiden Yan Minghua of Su Zhen Heaven has returned from Azure Billow Mountain."
"Barring any surprises, she should have already reached Soul Transformation."
"Ning Wuye of Han An Sword Sect has been reclusive for the past six months, his whereabouts elusive, almost never appearing on the battlefield."
"However, given that he was able to escape from the Eternal Night Desert back then, it's highly probable he has also reached Soul Transformation after half a year."
"Therefore, among the current generation of Pseudo-Dao, there are a total of four individuals who have entered the Soul Transformation Realm."
"They are Fu Xuanxu, the Dao Child of Jiuyi Mountain; Zhong Kui Yueji, the Crown Prince of the Liulan Dynasty; Celestial Maiden Yan Minghua of Su Zhen Heaven; and Ning Wuye, the Sword Saint of Han An Sword Sect."
"In contrast, on our Holy Path side."
"Only I and the Saint have entered Soul Transformation."
"And I have fought against Fu Xuanxu, the Dao Child of Jiuyi Mountain, many times, with neither side gaining a clear advantage."
"Therefore, for the upcoming Immolation War, I request the Saint to take action and deal with the other three."
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling's brows immediately furrowed. Deal with Zhong Kui Yueji, Ning Wuye, and Yan Minghua?
Leaving Zhong Kui Yueji and Ning Wuye aside for now, Yan Minghua was his woman!
Make him deal with his own woman?
Heh heh...
However, considering that the Nine A Li Clan had schemed for him to obtain this leadership position so he could command the younger generation of the demonic sects, directly refusing would obviously be inappropriate.
Chapter 971 Kyushu Sand Table. (Second update! Please subscribe!)
Therefore, Pei Ling said, “I am currently the leader among my peers on the Holy Path. It is naturally my responsibility to deal with the Pseudo-Dao Soul Transformation Cultivators of the same generation.”
“However, I don’t know how much cultivation resources and Spirit Stones Young F屠tu Commander intends to give me?”
Young F屠tu Commander was startled upon hearing this. This Pei Ling was a Myriad Tribulations Soul Transformation Cultivator, and had just taken the position of leader of the Holy Path. He currently needed a major battle against his Pseudo-Dao peers to establish his prestige.
After he learned the news of the Tianji of Su Zhen Heaven’s Soul Transformation, he specifically came to find him as soon as possible to take the opportunity to do him a favor. Yet, the other party actually turned around and asked him for money?!
Chongming Sect truly wouldn't act without profit; they never forgot about Spirit Stones!
At this moment, Li Lieyue nodded slightly. As a Disciple of the Saint Sect, Junior Brother Pei asking for resources was not wrong at all.
Although his request was a bit too direct, with Junior Brother Pei’s current cultivation and strength, there was no need to consider Young F屠tu Commander’s Face or rack his brains to phrase it subtly. Being so straightforward now saved more time.
Thinking of this, she sent a voice transmission to Pei Ling: “Junior Brother, dealing with the three Soul Transformation Cultivators of the Pseudo-Dao is an excellent opportunity for you to make a name for yourself throughout the world.”
“As long as the resources Young F屠tu Commander gives are acceptable, you can agree to them.”
Pei Ling’s expression remained unchanged, but he felt that things were a bit troublesome. He couldn’t let Senior Sister Li know about his relationship with Yan Minghua, but he also didn’t want to deal with Yan Minghua…
Thus, seeing that Young F屠tu Commander was still hesitating, Pei Ling immediately said, “How about this? We can put aside the matter of resources and Spirit Stones for now. I’ll go with you first to see the situation.”
“As soon as you have the items ready, I’ll take action. How about it?”
Upon hearing this, Young F屠tu Commander immediately agreed: “Good! Without further delay, please come with me now, Saint.”
The two quickly settled the matter, and Pei Ling said to Li Lieyue, “Senior Sister, I’ll be back soon. It won’t take much time.”
Li Lieyue nodded: “Good.”
Pei Ling then stood up and left with Young F屠tu Commander.
***
Ci Province, Demonic Path encampment.
On the scorched earth, blood-colored trenches spread out in a unique pattern, extending continuously into the distance.
As the blood in the trenches flowed, it emitted a strong bloody Qi, and numerous resentful souls floated and sank within the blood, screaming madly and letting out unwilling, venomous roars.
However, all struggles were firmly bound within the trenches by the Formation, unable to leave even half a step.
In mid-air, a tall tower stood in the center, surrounded by various tents scattered like stars.
The moment Young F屠tu Commander led Pei Ling into the encampment, dozens of Divine Thoughts swept over them, and then Demonic Path Disciples came forward to bow and greet them.
Young F屠tu Commander nodded, casually responded a few times, and then led Pei Ling into the tall tower.
Half of the tall tower was above the clouds, while the other half was hidden in the Void Realm, its specific number of floors and full appearance unknown.
In a large hall on an unknown floor, a giant sand table floated in mid-air. Mountains, rivers, plants, cities, and houses were all clearly depicted, as if a real world had been scaled down proportionally.
This sand table was divided into nine regions, and in each region, place names were carved in cloud script.
“Ci Province,” “Ying Prefecture,” “You Province,” “Jiang Province,” “Ji Prefecture,” “Li Province,” “Zhen Province,” “Yi Province,” “Che Prefecture”…
These were precisely the Nine Provinces under the jurisdiction of Jiuyi Mountain.
And within each province, hundreds or thousands of small circles, large and small, were drawn with vermilion ink resembling fresh blood.
In each small circle, there was a small flag corresponding to one of the Nine Great Sects.
Young F屠tu Commander led Pei Ling into the hall, to the front of the sand table, and pointed to a spot in the Ci Province region with a Reincarnation Tower flag, saying, “This is our current location. Lianzheng City, to our front right, is one of the few major cities in Ci Province, currently guarded by Fu Xuanxu, the Dao Child of Jiuyi Mountain.”
Immediately after, he pointed to another small circle not far away and said, “This is Po City. The Resident is Zhong Kui Yueji of the Liulan Dynasty.”
“As for the Tianji of Su Zhen Heaven, she has just returned from Azure Billow Mountain, and Ning Wuye of Han An Sword Sect has been missing for some time.”
“The exact locations of these two are currently unknown.”
“But as long as we engage in battle with the Dao Child of Jiuyi Mountain and the Crown Prince of the Liulan Dynasty, these two will definitely arrive.”
“Additionally, near these two cities, there are three wide and extensive waterways that can also be utilized.”
“My current plan is to start with the water sources, spreading plague and Curse, which can effectively slaughter a sufficient number of Mortals.”
“At that time, the Pseudo-Dao will definitely send Disciples out of the city to investigate and try to resolve this matter.”
“And I have already arranged for people to lie in ambush nearby. Anyone who leaves the city can be swiftly eliminated with lightning speed.”
“Once the Dao Child of Lianzheng City appears, I will personally enter the fray as well.”
“Zhong Kui Yueji, the Crown Prince of Liulan in nearby Po City, will surely rush to support Fu Xuanxu upon hearing the news.”
“And the Tianji of Su Zhen Heaven and Ning Wuye of Han An Sword Sect will most likely also join in.”
“After these four are all lured out, the Saint will make his move and resolve the four Pseudo-Dao Soul Transformation Cultivators of the same generation in one fell swoop.”
At this point, he turned to Pei Ling and asked, “What do you think, Saint?”
Pei Ling frowned, staring at the layout on the sand table. Hearing Young F屠tu Commander’s question, he immediately came back to his senses and asked, “What kind of plague and Curse are being spread in the water sources?”
Young F屠tu Commander immediately ordered someone to bring a grotesque, oddly shaped stitched corpse of an alien race.
This corpse was dark green and black, clearly having been dead for an unknown period, and its entire body was covered with stitching marks, with various limbs and flesh presenting characteristics of different races.
In addition, the entire corpse was covered with various Curses. Under the gaze of the Cultivators, it continuously emitted black smoke-like Qi. Wherever it went, plague and Curse spread wantonly, making it impossible for Mortals to survive.
Young F屠tu Commander admired the corpse and said, “This is a Curse extracted from the alien subterranean rat-men, combined with the Bloodline of various alien races. It is extremely contagious and very concealed! Ordinary investigative methods cannot detect the problem at all.”
“And by the time they can truly discover the problem, the Curse and plague will have already spread to a very large extent, making it impossible to reverse the situation.”
Pei Ling, upon hearing this, shook his head and immediately activated his 【Grievance Nightmare Divine Power】, instantly absorbing all the Curses from the corpse in front of Young F屠tu Commander!
Then he said indifferently, “This kind of Curse is too simple! I can easily break it with just a glance. How can it possibly fool the Pseudo-Dao?”
“Your plan is very good, but this kind of Curse is too childish. If truly implemented, it will definitely be full of variables.”
Seeing the Saint so easily remove the corpse Curse, Young F屠tu Commander immediately frowned, then asked, “Then, may I ask for the Saint’s guidance?”
Remember to vote after reading! Third and fourth will be available tonight.
Chapter 972 【Lonely Detoxification Pill】. (3rd update! Please subscribe!)
Pei Ling said calmly, “I have a very hidden Curse here that is impossible to guard against. Not only can it cause Mortals to die without a doubt, but it can also Curse and kill even Pseudo-Dao Cultivators. I plan to widely use this Curse to Curse all the nearby Pseudo-Dao towns, whether they are Mortals or Cultivators, to death!”
Young F屠tu Commander’s spirits immediately lifted!
This Pei Ling was indeed exactly as Grand F屠 Order had said; he had an extremely heavy killing intent!
Just cursing mere Mortals couldn't satisfy the other party's craving.
He quickly said, “Since Saint has such a method, then everything will be arranged by Saint!”
Pei Ling nodded, then said, “This Curse is quite complex and requires time to set up. Before I finish the Curse, do not act rashly, lest you alert the enemy.”
“No problem.” Young F屠tu Commander immediately said, “But I wonder how long Saint will need?”
Pei Ling said, “One month is enough.”
Young F屠tu Commander nodded. One month was not a long time for this Immolation War.
So, he readily nodded: “Good!”
Seeing that there were no more issues from Young F屠tu Commander’s side, Pei Ling nodded with satisfaction. Next, he would quietly Cultivate for a month.
When the month was almost up, he would just notify Wenren Lingse to come and “break” his Curse…
Anyway, he would keep dragging this matter out.
He didn’t plan to participate in the entire Battle Between the Righteous and the Demonic!
Thinking of this, Pei Ling pointed to a water source on the sand table and said, “Next, I will make arrangements here. Within this month, all matters will be handled by Saintess.”
…A moment later.
By the Ji River.
Everywhere one looked, there were scorched lands. The reeds that had grown here for countless years struggled to sprout tender shoots, attempting to cover the entire riverbank again.
The numerous creatures that originally lived here were all gone.
The entire riverbank was desolate, barren, and utterly silent.
A blood sedan broke through the air and slowly descended.
Inside the blood sedan, Pei Ling first used his Divine Thought to scan the surroundings. After not detecting any issues, he relaxed and got up to walk out.
Immediately after, he took out a well-made Formation Plate from his storage bag and infused it with magical power.
Upon the Formation Plate, waves of blood-red light immediately emanated.
Soon, a huge Formation, with Pei Ling at its center, descended with a rumble!
The entire ground seemed to shake violently, but upon closer inspection, the surroundings were calm and undisturbed, without the slightest change.
A Formation that combined functions such as concealing traces, blocking movement, and resisting detection had already begun to operate. Ordinary Cultivators, even if they walked nearby, would be completely unable to perceive anything within the Formation, and would not even realize that there was a Formation here.
After preparing almost everything, Pei Ling took out the sound transmission talisman he used to contact Li Lieyue and immediately activated it.
Soon, a clear voice sounded from the sound transmission talisman: “Junior Brother Pei, what’s wrong?”
“Senior Sister,” Pei Ling said, “Young F屠tu Commander’s plan is full of flaws. I have now decided to personally take over this matter, which will take about a month to arrange.”
“Just now, I have already informed Young F屠tu Commander to hand over the authority to lead the Holy Path peers to Senior Sister.”
“I trouble Senior Sister to be fully responsible for the affairs of the younger generation of the Holy Path within this month.”
Li Lieyue said, “Alright. Where are you now?”
Pei Ling said, “I am upstream of the Ji River outside Lian City.”
“I understand.” Li Lieyue said in a deep voice, “If there’s anything important, I will tell you immediately.”
In a short while, their sound transmission ended.
Putting away the sound transmission talisman, Pei Ling did not hesitate. He immediately took out the last Void Heaven Realm Seed and then directly activated it.
Accompanying bursts of brilliant light, the surrounding scenery rippled like waves. In an instant, the golden light before his eyes gradually grew vast, and he had already entered Little Free Heaven.
At this moment, Little Free Heaven was the same as the previous two times he had entered: white clouds stretched endlessly, like mountains and seas.
In the distant sky, a pale golden glow, like the morning sun, dyed more than half of the cloud sea.
The sky was azure, like glazed glass, crystal clear and transparent, making one feel refreshed and at ease after gazing at it for a long time.
After looking around, Pei Ling nodded slightly.
The System had now collected the Youji Town Life Pill’s detoxification Pill Formula from Jin Su Mian. At present, he planned to first refine a furnace of You Ji Detoxification Pill.
After confirming that this detoxification Pill was fine, he would then awaken his Master Medicine Immortal and directly proceed with the fourth test of Alchemist Ancestor’s assessment.
Thinking of this, he immediately took out the Evil Slaying Banner.
The blood-colored banner fluttered in the wind, and a little girl with twin pigtails slowly appeared. Her battle skirt fluttered, her black hair danced, and her crimson eyes were the same color as the banner’s surface.
After just a brief glance around, the Flag Spirit immediately asked, “Is this Little Free Heaven?”
Pei Ling said, “That’s right. Medicine Fairy is my Master.”
Saying that, he continued, “I’m going to perform Alchemy next. You stay with me. If I try to go find Master, immediately attack me.”
“Also, just injure me, don’t hit too hard.”
“If I successfully refine one furnace of Medicinal Pill and then want to refine a second, it’s the same.”
The true recognized Master of this Evil Slaying Banner’s Flag Spirit was Wenren Lingse.
However, the other party had promised beforehand to let him command her for three years. The three-year period had not yet arrived, so although she had already recognized Wenren Lingse as her Master in her heart, she had not yet performed the true recognition ritual with Wenren Lingse.
Therefore, in essence, this Evil Slaying Banner was still a masterless Magic Treasure.
It was perfect for interrupting the System’s Cultivation right now.
Upon hearing this, the Flag Spirit asked suspiciously, “Why do you suddenly want me to attack you?”
Before Pei Ling could answer, the Flag Spirit immediately thought of the reason. She suddenly realized, “I understand! You must have done too many evil deeds, and now you feel uncomfortable all over, having nightmares every night, losing your appetite, and tossing and turning sleeplessly, so you need to find an excuse to punish yourself.”
“However, with your crimes, this is far from enough!”
“You must go to Due Abyss to receive enlightenment!”
“I suggest you go directly to the ‘Heaven’ zone…”
Pei Ling’s brows immediately furrowed. What did this Flag Spirit make up?
He immediately said, “Don’t ask so many questions. You just need to follow my orders now.”
The Flag Spirit snorted coldly: “The Five Righteous Sects will surely rebuild Due Abyss very soon. At that time, the ‘Heaven’ zone will be your true home!”
Pei Ling was too lazy to talk nonsense with the Flag Spirit anymore. He immediately took out his Pill Furnace and the various medicinal ingredients he had, and silently chanted in his mind: “System, I want to Cultivate! One-click Hosting 【You Ji Detoxification Pill】.”
“Ding dong! Intelligent Cultivation System is at your service! One-click Hosting, intelligent upgrade! Starting Hosting Cultivation now. Friendly reminder: During Cultivation, the host will lose control of their body. Please do not panic…”
“Ding dong! Detected You Ji Detoxification Pill requires Red Yuan Ant Eggs, True Netherwater Essence, Ten Thousand Blood Stone…”
“Ding dong! Detected Red Yuan Ant Eggs, True Netherwater Essence, Ten Thousand Blood Stone…”
“Ding dong! Detected fifth-grade Pill Fire. The System will provide it for free…”
Chapter 973: Fifth-grade Spiritual Fire. (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
The moment the System's prompt sounded, Pei Ling immediately lost control of his Physical Body and fled in a certain direction.
The Evil Slaying Banner immediately followed.
Soon, Pei Ling entered Earth Fire Valley.
This long, narrow valley was entirely dark red, as if it were the color of countless dried bloodstains. It covered a large area, yet not a single blade of grass grew there.
Even in the tiniest crevices, there was no trace of any vegetation.
The entire valley was cracked like a spider web with countless fissures, large and small, scattered everywhere.
In almost every crack, various colorful flames erupted and danced, burning wantonly.
The closer one got to the center, the more powerful the flames became.
At the very center was a cluster of light golden flames, which looked very quiet, only the size of a thumb, yet it gave one a sense of overbearing heat, like a great sun soaring in the sky, burning the heavens and boiling the seas.
Pei Ling was not too surprised that the System had him come here.
The Medicinal Pill Fire he currently possessed was still the seventh-grade Medicinal Pill Fire, Nan Ke Dream Fire, which he had received as a reward from the Lun Dan Grand Ceremony.
Now that his Cultivation had reached Soul Transformation, a seventh-grade Medicinal Pill Fire was no longer of much use to him.
Even a sixth-grade Medicinal Pill Fire was somewhat lacking in heat.
Only a fifth-grade Medicinal Pill Fire could keep up with his current Cultivation strength.
At this moment, Pei Ling arrived before a cluster of dark purple flames. This cluster of flames looked like a palm-sized spiritual crane, and as it danced, it resembled an immortal crane constantly flapping its wings and soaring, emitting waves of dangerous Aura.
Pei Ling pondered for a moment and quickly recognized that this type of spiritual fire had been introduced in the Saint Legacy he possessed. Its name was Clear Crane Minggao Fire. Its nature was extremely overbearing, and its power was also extremely strong. Compared to other spiritual fires of the same rank, it could refine various medicinal materials faster and could devour spiritual fires of lower grades to strengthen itself…
However, because this spiritual fire was too violent, it required extremely exquisite and subtle fire control techniques to manipulate freely, which is why very few Alchemists would choose it for Alchemy.
As Pei Ling thought this, he saw that the System had already reached out to grab the Clear Crane Minggao Fire.
The dark purple crane-shaped flame immediately spread along his arm, and in an instant, it ignited his entire body.
But then, a layer of tangible darkness suddenly emerged from his body, isolating the flames from Pei Ling's Physical Body.
The Nether Sky Mist rapidly expanded, quickly engulfing the flames completely, and then retracted into his body.
"Ding dong! The fifth-grade Medicinal Pill Fire has been gifted. The System will now begin to refine the fifth-grade Medicinal Pill Fire for you…"
Along with the System's prompt, Pei Ling immediately felt that the temperature of his internal magical power, Meridians, blood… was rapidly rising.
At the same time, his magical power circulated rapidly throughout his body, gradually suppressing the temperature of his Physical Body…
The Evil Slaying Banner floated in mid-air, and the Flag Spirit stood in the air with a solemn expression. Her ponytail-like hair was constantly being blown up and scattered behind her. Her crimson pupils reflected the vast Earth Fire Valley, and countless firelights illuminated her eyes, like colorful neon lights.
She watched quietly from the side.
After about half an hour, the System's prompt sounded again: "Ding dong! The fifth-grade Medicinal Pill Fire has been refined. The System will continue to Cultivate for you…"
Immediately after, Pei Ling discovered that the System had no intention of using a Pill Furnace. It directly conjured the newly refined Clear Crane Minggao Fire, then took out numerous medicinal materials and began to perform Alchemy out of thin air.
The dark purple flame, which had been gently dancing in his palm, instantly let out a clear crane cry upon contact with the medicinal materials. The next moment, the fire rapidly expanded, leaping several feet high out of thin air, with a fierce Aura, as if it wanted to burn the medicinal materials to ashes!
However, as soon as the Clear Crane Minggao Fire showed any unusual movement, the System immediately operated its magical power to perform a series of subtle manipulations on it.
In almost an instant, the dark purple flame seemed to lose all its wildness and became docile and obedient.
Next, the System continuously used it to refine and process various medicinal materials. The Clear Crane Minggao Fire was as easily manipulated as an arm, allowing itself to be driven at will, without the slightest hint of violence, as if the previous scene was an illusion.
Pei Ling watched in surprise for a moment and quickly understood that for his current Cultivation, a seventh-grade Medicinal Pill Fire was too low in grade, so the System gifted him a fifth-grade Medicinal Pill Fire.
However, for a fifth-grade Medicinal Pill Fire, the grade of a seventh-grade Pill Furnace was insufficient and could not withstand the power of the Medicinal Pill Fire.
And in this Little Free Heaven, there was ready-made Medicinal Pill Fire, but no ready-made Pill Furnaces. Since the System could not continue to gift him a suitable Pill Furnace, it directly used his Soul Transformation Cultivation as a base to perform Alchemy in his palm.
The dim purple firelight continuously danced, and the System meticulously processed numerous medicinal materials. Its speed was more than a notch faster than before.
And the medicinal power extracted by the fifth-grade Medicinal Pill Fire was clearly purer and more condensed than before.
Under the intense burning of the flames, distorted illusions appeared above the entire Earth Fire Valley.
A banner with a blood-red background and black patterns floated in mid-air. The Flag Spirit, who looked like a little girl, became increasingly surprised. Although this Pei Ling was wicked and cunning, his Pill Refining Art was truly astonishingly brilliant. Even among the many Great Masters of Pill Refining Art she knew, based solely on the Pill Refining Art attainment he was currently displaying, he was among the top!
The sky was high and the clouds were light. The entire Earth Fire Valley was silent, with only the sounds of flames burning and dancing occasionally heard.
A moment later, Pei Ling slowly retracted the Medicinal Pill Fire. The moment the dark purple completely disappeared, a black-bottomed, purple-patterned Medicinal Pill floated above his palm.
A furnace formed in his palm, and the Medicinal Pill was of the highest quality!
Pei Ling was immediately delighted. The You Ji Detoxification Pill had been successfully refined!
Next, he only needed to test the effect of this Detoxification Pill. If there were no problems, he could directly go and wake up his Master, Medicine Immortal, to conduct the assessment for him.
Just as he was thinking, his body, under the System's control, continued to take out medicinal materials, preparing to refine the second batch of Medicinal Pills.
The Flag Spirit of the Evil Slaying Banner's spirits lifted, and she immediately attacked, striking Pei Ling with a palm.
Boom!!!
Pei Ling was immediately knocked to the ground, and with a crisp "crack," he sank into the rock, looking utterly miserable.
"Ding dong! External attack detected. This Cultivation session ends here. Thank you, Host, for using the Intelligent Cultivation System. One-click Hosting, worry-free Ascension! We look forward to your Cultivation review. If satisfied, please give a five-star rating…"
Amidst the System's prompt, control of his body returned, and Pei Ling immediately felt that every part of his body was in pain!
This damned Flag Spirit almost killed him!
"Cough cough cough cough…"
After a violent fit of coughing, Pei Ling, with a very bad expression, climbed up from the ground. He immediately took out a healing Medicinal Pill, swallowed it, and circulated his magical power to dissolve the medicinal effect.
At this moment, the Flag Spirit said in a clear voice, "Is this punishment enough? I can continue to strike!"
Pei Ling frowned and immediately said, "That's enough!"
Hearing this, the Flag Spirit was instantly disappointed but could not continue to act.
Under the operation of his Cultivation Technique, Pei Ling's injuries quickly recovered. He tidied his robes, took the newly refined You Ji Detoxification Pill, and fled towards Medicine Immortal's location.
The Evil Slaying Banner immediately followed.
Chapter 974: Meeting the Master! (First update! Please subscribe!)
A moment later, Pei Ling arrived at the valley guarded by numerous wood spirits.
Outside the valley, clouds obscured the sky, making everything dim. Many plant spirits resided within, silent, all sleeping with Medicine Immortal.
In the valley, tall wood spirit guards leaned on their long spears, their heads slightly bowed. Leaves and buds occasionally grew on their bodies, and vibrant flowers would bloom from time to time, full of vibrant life.
Countless python-like vines hung from the branches of towering trees, like dark green and light emerald curtains, densely obscuring everything in the depths of the valley.
Pei Ling landed at the valley entrance and strode towards the wood spirit guards.
This was his third time here.
The first time, his cultivation was only Foundation Establishment, and the System gifted him Master Medicine Immortal; the second time, he broke through to Nascent Soul in Little Free Heaven, similar to the first time, where the System randomly gifted him.
This third time, however, was his first time actively coming here on his own.
As he walked into the valley, he mused inwardly, "Just now, when refining the You Ji Detoxification Pill, the System used the medicinal Materials on my person and didn't gift me Master."
"This should be because the You Ji Detoxification Pill is relatively common."
"Regardless, I have plenty of Materials now, so when I demonstrate to Master later, I won't have to worry about the System randomly gifting."
"Also, when a Disciple's cultivation Breakthroughs, shouldn't a Master show some appreciation?"
"Later, I should hint to Master to give me a few more drops of tian shang tears..."
"No need for Void Heaven Realm Seed."
"If I pass this assessment, I'll gain free access to Little Free Heaven..."
"I can see if I can ask for some Heaven And Earth Treasure that increases cultivation, and after consuming them, directly Breakthrough to Late Stage Soul Transformation..."
At this moment, as Pei Ling approached, the wood spirit guards began to awaken.
In a short while, all the wood spirit guards at the valley entrance simultaneously opened their eyes and turned their heads to look at Pei Ling.
As Pei Ling drew closer, the long spears in the hands of the wood spirit guards slowly rose, their sharp tips gleaming with a chilling light.
However, in the next instant, a special aura gradually emanated from Pei Ling.
This was the aura of the Void Heaven Realm Seed!
Upon sensing this aura, the wood spirit guards immediately lowered their guard and moved aside, clearing a wide path.
The two wood spirit guards standing at the very back even raised their hands to hang up a few vines for Pei Ling, so they wouldn't obstruct his progress.
Having smoothly passed the guards, Pei Ling took the Evil Slaying Banner and walked deeper into the valley.
After entering the dense forest, a faint forest mist rose around him, like smoke, a blue-gray haze, like gauze and ribbon, swirling among the towering trees.
The ground was soft, the vegetation lush, and the unique fresh scent of a rarely-visited deep forest, accompanied by the faint sound of a gurgling stream, wafted into his nostrils.
As Pei Ling went deeper, the trees he saw became taller and taller, and the vines entwined around them intertwined and hooked together, like a giant emerald net, encompassing the entire valley and converging towards the center.
When he was almost at Master's sleeping place, Pei Ling suddenly thought of something and quickly stopped.
Seeing him stop, the Evil Slaying Banner followed suit, hovering in mid-air.
The little girl with black hair and red eyes stood in the air, looking at him calmly.
Pei Ling immediately said, "Ahead is where my Master, Medicine Fairy, sleeps. Don't speak carelessly later."
"You can mention that I saved Wenren Lingse, but there's no need for other nonsense."
The Flag Spirit snorted and said, "If Medicine Fairy doesn't ask, I can say nothing."
"But if Medicine Fairy asks, I will say whatever I know."
Pei Ling frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and asked, "What do you know about my situation now?"
The Flag Spirit said, "You were confined in the 'Yellow' Zone of Due Abyss for half a year, in the 'Xuan' Zone for half a day, in the 'Earth' Zone for three days, and in the 'Heaven' Zone for three days."
"Criminals confined in Due Abyss are all guilty of serious crimes."
"Criminals confined in the 'Heaven' Zone of Due Abyss are even more heinous villains!"
"Furthermore, during the Jianxin Lake test, you wantonly slaughtered and drenched the market in blood! You are simply deeply demonic and commit all kinds of evil!"
"If you hadn't saved my Master, Wenren Lingse, and still had some basic good intentions, I would never have allowed you to command me for three years..."
"But even so, you still dared to defile my Master. After the three-year term is up, I will definitely confine you in Due Abyss again..."
As he listened, Pei Ling gradually breathed a sigh of relief. Good!
This Flag Spirit's understanding of him still only remained at Due Abyss; she didn't know that he had already become the Saint of Chongming Sect, had dual cultivated with the Chongming Sect Master's wife, and all the crimes the wife had once framed him for...
Compared to that, being confined in Due Abyss was a minor matter; he had plenty of reasons to explain to Master.
As for the slaughter in Jianxin Lake, hehe!
How was that Jianxin?
Even among the Five Righteous Sects, probably few cultivators could pass it. Master would definitely understand him!
As for everything that happened between him and Wenren Lingse... mutual love between a man and a woman, what's wrong with that?
Thinking of this, Pei Ling smiled and nodded, then said, "I understand. Now, follow me to see Master."
The Flag Spirit nodded, then asked, "Then, do you still want it to be like before?"
Before?
Pei Ling was slightly startled, then immediately realized that he had told the Flag Spirit earlier that he was going to perform Alchemy, and once he came to find Master Medicine Immortal, he wanted the Flag Spirit to immediately attack him...
Thinking of this, he immediately shook his head: "No need."
The Flag Spirit was immediately disappointed.
Immediately after, Pei Ling continued to walk forward.
The blood-colored banner gently rolled in mid-air and quickly followed.
By now, the forest mist was incredibly thick, obscuring vision. Unlike the Nether Sky Mist of the Eternal Night Desert, in the milky white mist, large leaves dripped clear dew, and colorful flowers bloomed wantonly, occasionally brightening the eyes.
All of this, mixed with abundant vitality, brewed a refreshing fragrance. Walking amidst it, one could even feel one's Physical Body constantly receiving subtle nourishment.
After walking through the mist for a moment, the view suddenly opened up.
All the mist vanished without a trace, and the view was crystal clear.
He saw thousands upon thousands of vines rushing from all directions, hanging from the branches of towering trees, intertwining with each other in mid-air. Lush branches and leaves concealed a beautiful figure.
Amidst the emerald embrace, Medicine Immortal's exquisite face was dreamlike. Her long lashes were lowered, her eyes tightly closed, and her silver-white hair, like moonlight, fanned out behind her head. Her breathing was even, and she was sound asleep.
Layers of varying shades of green vines wrapped around her key areas; her slender waist, long legs, and delicate ankles, set against the dense foliage, appeared even more sacred and pure, light and delicate, as if she were the essence of the entire valley, a condensed illusion.
Pei Ling immediately stepped forward and respectfully bowed, saying, "Disciple Pei Ling, here to pay respects to Master!"
Chapter 975: The Four Ancestors. (Second update! Please subscribe!)
Upon hearing this, Medicine Immortal showed no reaction and remained in a deep sleep.
Seeing this, Pei Ling continued, "Reporting to Master, this Disciple has successfully refined the antidote for the Youji Town Life Pill. I have come this time to answer Alchemist Ancestor's question."
As his voice faded, the surroundings fell silent. Medicine Immortal still gave no response.
Her picturesque features were serene, and her moon-like long hair, resembling waterweeds at the bottom of a clear stream, gently swayed with her steady breathing.
Pei Ling was not surprised and finally said, "This Disciple knows that Master is in a deep sleep, but this is the last chance for this Disciple to enter the Little Free Heaven within the next sixty years."
"If I cannot complete Alchemist Ancestor's question, Master's wish from back then will have to wait until the next Lun Dan Grand Ceremony."
"Therefore, this Disciple can only dare to forcibly awaken Master!"
"For any offense, I hope Master will forgive me!"
His voice echoed through the forest. Medicine Immortal's breathing was even, and her fan-like eyelashes, like the wings of a resting butterfly, were tranquil and still, yet there was no sign of her waking up.
It was only then that Pei Ling continued to walk forward.
He stepped on the vines, quickly approaching Medicine Immortal, and then grabbed one of the vines, forcibly pushing it aside.
Soon, Pei Ling cleared all the vines from Medicine Immortal's left arm, but just as he was about to deal with the vines on her right arm, the vines that had just been pushed aside swayed in the air and re-entangled Medicine Immortal's left arm.
Pei Ling frowned and quickly pushed aside the vines on Medicine Immortal's right arm, then moved to the vines on her chest. But just as before, as soon as Medicine Immortal's right arm was free, it was immediately re-entangled by vines.
He tried for a moment, but Medicine Immortal remained entangled by the vines.
Seeing this, Pei Ling immediately felt a bit troubled. Although these vines had no intention of attacking him, they were incredibly difficult to deal with.
No matter how fast he moved, these vines always managed to re-entangle Medicine Immortal in time. He spent half a day on it, but it was all wasted effort; he simply couldn't get Medicine Immortal out of them.
According to Pei Ling's original plan, as long as he moved his Master out of these vines, then he wouldn't need to do anything else.
His Master would slowly wake up on her own!
This was the safest method.
During the Lun Dan Grand Ceremony, his Master woke up this way.
But now...
"Directly attacking these vines, or directly attacking Master, should also be able to wake Master."
"But that would be too disrespectful to Master!"
"And it would definitely anger Master."
"I need to find a better method..."
"The System last time removed Master from the vines by using a female corpse as a substitute. I don't have a female corpse on me now..."
Thinking of this, Pei Ling's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't have a female corpse on him, but his Incarnation did!
However, he wondered if the Fallen Immortal Will would cooperate?
"Never mind that for now, let's separate the Incarnation first!"
Thus, with a thought, countless dark red patterns immediately appeared around Pei Ling's body. After these patterns appeared, under his urging, they quickly converged behind him.
Soon, a dense darkness appeared behind him.
Immediately after, within the darkness, Mo Li Lan's beautiful face emerged. When the darkness completely dissipated, a fair and pure body was fully revealed.
At the same time, Pei Ling's Aura dropped significantly.
He turned to look and saw Mo Li Lan with her eyes tightly closed, motionless, still in the sleeping state she was in in the Eternal Night Desert.
Seeing this, Pei Ling tentatively called out, "Immortal Friend Mo?"
Mo Li Lan showed no reaction.
Pei Ling immediately felt relieved. The Fallen Immortal Will was most likely still in the dream of the Eternal Night Desert. Since the other party had not returned to her Incarnation's body, that was perfect!
He immediately lifted the Incarnation, and just like before, climbed along the vines to Medicine Immortal's front, then put the Incarnation down beside her.
Then, he imitated the System's previous operation: every time he pushed aside a vine, he immediately replaced it with his Incarnation.
This time, Pei Ling's operation went very smoothly. He quickly removed Medicine Immortal from the vines, while his own Incarnation was bound within them.
After carrying Medicine Immortal out, he immediately took out a pre-prepared magic robe and helped his Master put it on.
Seeing that his Master had not yet woken up, Pei Ling prepared to recall his Incarnation back into his body.
Just at this moment, he suddenly felt a surge of vast and pure medicinal power pour into his Incarnation!
The Incarnation's Aura instantly increased significantly!
Pei Ling was stunned, and after realizing what happened, he immediately withdrew the arm he had reached out to the Incarnation.
Very good!
When the Incarnation's cultivation improved, his own body's cultivation would also rise accordingly.
Given that, why rush to recall the Incarnation?
Thus, Pei Ling sat down cross-legged nearby and began to Cultivate on his own.
※ ※ ※
Eternal Night Desert.
Deep inside.
Nine Stone Pillars stood quietly.
The blood-colored coffin suspended in mid-air gently swayed as the Heavenly Tribulation struck.
"Clang!" "Clang!"... The chains formed by the Heavenly Tribulation occasionally made loud noises.
Darkness surged all around, and rustling sounds were incessant.
An inexplicable pressure descended powerfully.
Four old men stood in the air, surrounding the blood-colored coffin.
The old man standing to the east wore white clothes and a golden crown, with an ancient appearance. His eyes were like crimson gold, and his Aura was ethereal and profound, like the boundless sky. The old man standing to the west wore hemp clothes and straw sandals, with a withered appearance. His eyes were dim, and his body seemed lifeless, utterly silent and desolate. The old man standing to the north wore a high crown and wide sash, looking gaunt and dignified. His Aura was pure, imbued with an Immortal-like detachment and freedom. The old man standing to the south was like a wet ink painting, appearing indistinct, yet his Aura was as vast as a star sea. He was precisely the Netherblood Ancestor of the Chongming Sect.
The four old men had distinct Auras and weathered faces, resembling four old people on the verge of death.
Their expressions remained unchanged at this moment, and there was no communication between them. They simply gazed quietly at the Fallen Immortal's coffin.
At this moment, the Heavenly Tribulation chains suddenly tightened frantically. The chains wrapped around the Nine Pillars, emitting a sharp, piercing sound.
Above the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Countless bolts of lightning fell violently, tearing apart the darkness-shrouded Eternal Night Desert with purplish-blue electric light. Numerous ghostly figures hidden in the darkness panicked and fled in all directions, their frantic, shrill cries echoing through the clouds!
The entire Eternal Night Desert seemed as if the end of the world had arrived!
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Just then, the lid of the blood-colored coffin began to shift, and the opened crack gradually widened.
Upon seeing this, the Auras of the four old men instantly became incredibly terrifying, as if four ancient, top-tier Vicious Beasts had instantly shed their human skin disguise, their violent Auras sweeping across the entire scene in an instant!
One of the old men spoke indifferently, "Act!"
Boom!!!
Just at this moment, a massive bolt of Heavenly Tribulation struck down forcefully!
Remember to vote after reading!
Third and fourth will be available tonight.
Chapter 976: Master Wakes Up. (Third update! Please subscribe!)
"Little Free Heaven."
At the center of the valley, dense vines crisscrossed, and the light beneath the trees was dim.
However, this dimness could not obstruct a Cultivator's eyesight in the slightest.
At the center of countless entwined vines was a beautiful woman with a delicate Aura.
Mo Li Lan's eyes were tightly shut, suspended in mid-air, surrounded by numerous vines. Her dark hair cascaded like a waterfall, and against the backdrop of vibrant emerald green, her waist was dazzlingly fair, yet it also appeared somewhat pale and translucent, a beauty tinged with an inexplicable strangeness.
Below her, Pei Ling sat cross-legged on the ground, Cultivating on his own. Beside him, the Evil Subjugation Banner floated gently, its Flag Spirit having retreated into the banner's surface, out of sight.
Not far away, on a patch of soft grass, lay Medicine Immortal. Her long lashes were lowered, fluttering slowly like butterfly wings with the rhythm of her breathing. Her snow-white skin glowed with a pearlescent sheen, and her delicate features were like a painted scroll. She remained in a deep slumber, her silver-white hair scattered behind her head, like severed moonlight, appearing even more pristine in the gloom.
Pei Ling Cultivated for a moment, adjusting his state to its optimal level.
At this point, he suddenly stopped. Then, he took out two Medicinal Pills from his storage pouch: on the left was a Youji Town Life Pill; on the right was a freshly refined You Ji Detoxification Pill.
His Master, Medicine Immortal, would still need some time to awaken.
Before that, he could just test the effects of the You Ji Detoxification Pill.
This was a Detoxification Pill recorded by the System, and under normal circumstances, it was unlikely to have any issues. However, just in case, he still needed to test it in advance.
Thinking this, Pei Ling directly swallowed the Youji Town Life Pill.
As the Medicinal Pill entered his mouth, a chilling, icy, and deathly Aura instantly erupted in his throat.
Immediately after, a bone-chilling sensation spread throughout his entire body.
As if falling into an ice cellar, a strange power rapidly eroded his five senses and muscles, seemingly intending to stiffen him like a puppet, making it impossible for him to move.
However, Pei Ling's cultivation had already reached the Soul Transformation Middle Stage. Although the Youji Town Life Pill's effects were potent and bizarre, for him, aside from feeling extremely uncomfortable, his cultivation strength was not significantly affected.
He could feel that if he wished, he could instantly use his Soul Transformation Stage cultivation to forcibly expel the potent poison from his body, and that stiffening power would also be utterly shattered with a single thought.
After waiting for a moment longer, confirming that the poisonous Medicinal Pill had completely spread, Pei Ling immediately took the You Ji Detoxification Pill.
As the Detoxification Pill entered his mouth, it was the opposite of the poisonous Medicinal Pill. The medicinal power contained a scorching Aura, like a raging fire, burning from the tip of his tongue all the way into his abdomen. Its potency was even greater than that of the poisonous Medicinal Pill. Soon, it began to rapidly neutralize the poisonous Medicinal Pill's effects. And the sensation of stiffening that had been continuously trying to spread seemed to be fiercely burned away by this ball of fire.
Feeling this change, Pei Ling secretly nodded in approval.
Jin Su Mian truly lived up to her reputation as a Genius female Alchemist; her Alchemy talent was truly one in a million! One could say she was second only to him.
If he hadn't participated in that Lun Dan Grand Ceremony last time, perhaps she would have had a chance to inherit the Legacy of Alchemist Ancestor...
Thinking this, he circulated his magical power, accelerating the spread of the Detoxification Pill's medicinal power.
In a short while, all the potent poison in Pei Ling's body was eliminated.
That stiffening power also quietly disappeared.
He completely relaxed, then looked up at his Master, Medicine Immortal. Seeing that she was still in slumber, he continued to Cultivate.
Since he didn't know when his Master would wake up, Pei Ling didn't dare to directly use the System for Hosting. Although the Evil Subjugation Banner could interrupt the System's Hosting, what if his Master woke up and the Evil Subjugation Banner attacked him, and his Master, in turn, protected him?
At that time, if the System's Cultivation wasn't interrupted in time, he wouldn't be able to explain the situation to his Master, and then if he Cultivated for a few more days and his Master continued to sleep, it would be problematic.
Just at this moment, a continuous stream of immense nourishment poured into the Incarnation's body. Mo Li Lan's long hair danced without wind, fluttering wildly. Her Aura steadily climbed, growing stronger and stronger, like a renowned sword slowly being unsheathed.
Perceiving the change in the Incarnation's Aura, Pei Ling was very satisfied. At this rate of infusion, it shouldn't be long before it reached the limit his Incarnation could bear.
At that time, when he recalled the Incarnation into his main body and absorbed all the power the Incarnation had absorbed, his cultivation would surely increase significantly...
Just as he was thinking this, the nourishment pouring into the Incarnation's body suddenly began to rapidly dissipate!
And the Aura, which had just been extremely powerful and unstoppable, instantly weakened.
Pei Ling was momentarily stunned. What was happening?
Before he could figure out the situation, the vines entwining Mo Li Lan once again poured large amounts of pure and vast nourishment into the Incarnation's body.
The Incarnation's Aura instantly surged again.
However, almost in the very next instant, the nourishment within the Incarnation's body suddenly dissipated, and he didn't know where it went...
After this process repeated several times, Pei Ling became suspicious. Could it be that the Incarnation couldn't absorb the nourishment from the vines?
He immediately lost the desire to Cultivate, stood up, and stepped on the crisscrossing vines, flying to the Incarnation's side to carefully check its state.
Just at this moment, Medicine Immortal, who was lying on the grass below, suddenly opened her eyes.
The moment she awoke, the seemingly endless white clouds above the entire "Little Free Heaven" vanished in an instant.
The golden light in the sky, like a sunrise, poured down a vast and gentle radiance.
All vegetation flourished, and all things revived. Streams and rivers began to flow, and amidst the gurgling water, ripples appeared in the ponds, aquatic creatures leaped, birds soared, and beasts galloped...
A vast vitality bloomed in every inch of the land.
The Small World seemed to have come alive all at once.
Pei Ling immediately sensed something, turned his head to look at Medicine Immortal, and in the next moment, he flew down, respectfully bowing and saying, "Disciple, Pei Ling, greets Master!"
※ ※ ※
Eternal Night Desert.
Nine Pillars stood tall, and a blood-colored coffin floated in mid-air.
The surrounding darkness was like a tide, and the whispers had already transformed into rumbling roars, as if countless beings were howling rapidly and hatefully, mingling together, eroding every living being currently present in this place.
"Clang, clang, clang"...
Amidst the grating sound of tightening chains, a rotten human head, as large as a mountain, hung high between the Nine Pillars. Thick black corrupted blood flowed from its severed neck, constantly dripping onto the blood-colored coffin below.
Wherever it touched, the blood-colored coffin was immediately stained with black spots, emitting odors of corrosion, decay, and foulness.
At the same time, countless hair-thin threads extended from the ground, wrapping around the entire coffin like a net, pulling it downwards into the earth.
Eerie bluish-black demonic claws inexplicably emerged from the Void Realm, fiercely embracing the blood-colored coffin, sealing the gap that had opened on it.
And beside the Nine Pillars, several towering soul shadows floated. Their colors were dim, with bird heads and human bodies, twin wings on their backs, rich blood-red light in their eyes, and a vast and terrifying Aura. They stretched out their massive palms, grasping the Heavenly Tribulation chains that sealed the coffin, cooperating with the threads to fiercely drag the blood-colored coffin into the ground.
All these forces were aimed at re-sealing the coffin back into the ground.
The Four Ancestors of Wu Shi Villa, Reincarnation Tower, Heavenly Born Sect, and Chongming Sect still occupied their respective positions, standing in the air.
A majestic and surging Aura emanated from each of the four, like terrifying tidal waves, immensely astonishing. The terrifying pressure caused the entire Eternal Night Desert, apart from the constant eternal night whisper, to be utterly silent.
However, at this moment, the soul shadows dragging the chains suddenly writhed, and then, a dozen or so extra heads grew, and their humanoid bodies suddenly swelled and deformed!
Chapter 977: Fairness and Justice. (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
The distorted soul shadow immediately stopped moving, turning around to claw at the Heavenly Tribulation chains, as if trying to break them to release the suppression on the blood-colored coffin.
At this moment, the demonic claws covering the coffin quickly gathered together, like wax melting from heat, rapidly fusing into a monster composed entirely of arms.
And the threads Entanglement the coffin suddenly grew pupils and bloody mouths full of sharp teeth…
The next moment, the rotten human head suspended in mid-air directly grew legs and feet, attempting to flee into the distance…
Witnessing all of this, the Four Ancestors showed no surprise.
This was a Fallen Immortal who had partially awakened their will; they couldn't be dealt with so easily.
They all continued to make their moves.
Boom boom boom boom boom…
Within the Eternal Night Desert, ten thousand Yin Lightning bolts instantly fell, and as the thunder roared, countless demonic ghosts and corpse puppets appeared in mid-air, surging like a tide.
Silently, large clumps of black snowflakes drifted down from the sky.
Wherever the snowflakes reached, the Nether Sky Mist in the Eternal Night Desert immediately emitted a burnt smell, continuously diminishing with a "sizzle" sound.
And on the ground beneath the darkness, sand, hills, valleys… everything, no matter what its original topography, undulated like a water surface.
Immediately after, a layer of foul blood slowly seeped out… attempting to corrupt the entire desert with demonic Qi.
Outside the Eternal Night Desert, on a stone tower towering over a dune, the copper bells under the eaves chimed sweetly with the howling wind, and on the copper bells, blood-colored eyes stared intently at the continuously encroaching darkness not far away.
Suddenly, the Nether Sky Mist paused slightly, as if it had abruptly stopped expanding.
After another moment, it gradually began to churn violently, like boiling water, and in an instant, it became turbulent and surging.
Suddenly, the Nether Sky Mist lunged outward, engulfing the stone tower, which had previously been a considerable distance away, in just a flick of a finger!
Its momentum did not diminish at all; it continued to expand wildly.
At this moment, four figures, swift as lightning, instantly fled the Eternal Night Desert, standing in the air at a place where the Nether Sky Mist could not reach for a while, revealing their forms—they were precisely the Four Ancestors from before.
After they stood firm, they turned their heads and looked with grave expressions into the Eternal Night Desert, but they did not continue to act.
"Strange!" the Ancestral Master of Wu Shi Villa said in a deep voice, "The immortal power of this Illusion Little Immortal should still be sealed by the Heavenly Tribulation, so why is its power still inexhaustible?"
The Ancestral Master of Reincarnation Tower said hoarsely, "It might be because the Fallen Immortal has awakened too much of its will. Moreover, what the Fallen Immortal used just now wasn't immortal power; it should be the power of all living beings devoured by its dreamland!"
"Entering the Fallen Immortal Dream Realm now is too risky, otherwise, we would know if we entered to observe."
The Heavenly Born Sect's Ancestral Master mused, "It seems that sealing the Fallen Immortal Will require a great price."
The Netherblood Ancestor slowly said, "The Fallen Immortal must be sealed! Otherwise, once he awakens, our Saintly Path Four Sects will definitely bear the brunt."
"However, we are all destined for Ascension, and our Dao bodies cannot have any flaws."
The Ancestral Master of Reincarnation Tower nodded slightly, "Our Saintly Path Four Sects must all maintain the peace of this world, and indeed, nothing can go wrong."
"Let the Pseudo-Dao come and help!"
The Netherblood Ancestor said, "We can ask the Pseudo-Dao for help. The Pan Ya World is not only inhabited by our Saintly Path Four Sects; the False Path Five Sects also need the protection of this heaven and earth. Ultimately, this is an exchange of interests."
"If our Saintly Path Four Sects strengthen the Fallen Immortal Seal, we can gain an extra, fixed Immortal Assembly."
"If the Pseudo-Dao comes to help, they can fight against the Fallen Immortal Will, which is also a kind of Immortal Assembly."
"The Immortal Assembly of the Fallen Immortal Dream Realm belongs to our Holy Path, and the Immortal Assembly from fighting the Fallen Immortal Will will be given to the Pseudo-Dao."
"In this way, both sides can benefit, which is the most fair and just."
The Heavenly Born Sect Ancestral Master calmly said, "I have long ordered the False Path Five Sects to regularly send their Prodigies to the Saintly Path as Cauldrons."
"The Pseudo-Dao has always ignored this, which is a defiance of my will."
"Defying my will is defying the will of Heaven in this world, so how can they not suffer Heavenly Condemnation?"
"Heaven gives birth to all things, but only humans are most noble. The False Path Five Sects act perversely, allowing those with fur and horns, or those born from dampness and eggs, to be on equal footing with our Human Race; this is simply an act of rebellion. The current upheaval in the Eternal Night Desert must be due to their defiance of the will of Heaven."
"This is the sin of the Pseudo-Dao, and sealing the Fallen Immortal is their chance for atonement."
The Netherblood Ancestor said faintly, "Atonement is atonement, but since they are also great Sects of this world, the Immortal Assembly that should be given to the Pseudo-Dao must still be given to them."
The Ancestral Master of Wu Shi Villa nodded, "This Immortal Assembly will send down an Immortal Edict to the Pseudo-Dao."
"The cycles of Heaven, the ebb and flow of creation." The Reincarnation Tower Founder said with a hoarse voice, "We Nine Sects are the leaders of this world. Now that the Fallen Immortal has revived, sealing him is an inescapable duty for all Nine Sects."
"However, the False Path Five Sects are hypocritical, protecting living beings for many years, causing their territories to become overpopulated, making the entire world unbearable."
"This revival of the Fallen Immortal might very well be the backlash from heaven and earth in the unseen world."
"Therefore, regarding the sealing, the False Path Five Sects must go all out!"
"This is what they owe the Pan Ya World, what they owe all living beings in the entire realm, and what they owe us Four Sects!"
…After some discussion, the Four Ancestors all agreed that sealing the Fallen Immortal required the combined efforts of the Nine Great Sects.
However, they had no intention of paying any price.
Even the current Immolation War could continue.
After all, Reincarnation Tower needed to maintain peace in the world, Chongming Sect needed to gather cultivation resources, Heavenly Born Sect needed to accumulate Prodigy Cauldrons, Wu Shi Villa needed this war to temper their state of mind…
Finally, one of the Ancestors said, "Then, we shall personally make a trip to the Pseudo-Dao."
※ ※ ※
Little Free Heaven.
The azure sky resembled a clear mirror lake, transparent and cloudless, like glazed glass.
Valleys, ravines, plains, hillsides… countless colorful exotic flowers and plants bloomed in competition, and clusters of tender green quietly emerged from branches, gently unfurling their verdant buds and leaves.
A vast and vigorous vitality filled the entire small heaven and earth for a time.
Medicine Immortal sat up from the grass, pale golden light filtering through layers of vines, and the remaining halo illuminated her skin, making it appear even more translucent and radiant.
As soon as she awoke, her gaze immediately locked onto Mo Li Lan, who was bound by vines.
This Physical Body could actually steal her nutrients?
However, after a brief moment of doubt, she quickly saw through the mystery: this was a Nine Tribulations Dao Body, a vessel that had once contained immortal will!
At this moment, Pei Ling quickly landed and respectfully bowed, "Disciple Pei Ling greets Master!"
Medicine Immortal came back to her senses, first looking at her robes with surprise, then stood up. As her robe hem swirled, her tender white ankles, carved like beautiful sheep fat jade, crystal clear and lustrous, flashed and disappeared beneath the floor-length robe.
She looked at Pei Ling and immediately showed an approving smile, "Not bad, you've already reached the Soul Transformation Middle Stage!"
Remember to vote after reading!
Chapter 978: "Little Free Heaven" Boundary Marker. (First update! Please subscribe!)
Afterward, Medicine Immortal glanced at the Evil Slaying Banner beside her, then continued, "To be recognized by Evil Exterminator, you truly haven't disappointed your Master."
Hearing this, before Evil Exterminator could speak, Pei Ling quickly replied, "I'm ashamed to say, Senior Evil Exterminator is righteous and hates evil as if it were his own enemy. My actions are still far from enough."
"It's just that I saved someone, and Senior Evil Exterminator then recognized my character and Heart-Nature, willing to protect me for three years, that's all."
Seeing that Pei Ling was speaking the truth, the Flag Spirit's face appeared on the banner, and it hummed softly, saying nothing.
Medicine Immortal nodded slightly. She knew very well Evil Exterminator's disposition; the conditions to truly become its owner were extremely stringent.
Her Disciple, originating from the Demonic Path, being able to walk alongside the Evil Slaying Banner was already a testament to his uprightness and was truly commendable.
Then, she looked at the woman bound by the vines and asked, "Who is this person?"
Pei Ling quickly explained, "Reporting to Master, this is my Incarnation."
"I have already deduced the antidote for the Youji Town Life Pill and wish to pass Alchemist Ancestor's assessment."
"However, Master is still in a deep slumber, and I don't know how to awaken Master, so I had to find a way to move Master out of the vines and replace her with my Incarnation."
"Originally, I shouldn't have disturbed Master."
"But the three Void Heaven Realm Seeds are now all used up."
"This is my last chance to enter Little Free Heaven, so I could only daringly offend Master. Please forgive me, Master!"
Upon hearing that Pei Ling had already solved the problem set by the owner, Medicine Immortal's eyes immediately lit up, and she immediately put aside the matter of the Incarnation.
She said, "Good! Tell me the thought process for solving the Youji Town Life Pill."
Thought process?!
Pei Ling's expression immediately froze. His thought process was: find someone to help him solve the problem, then use the System to record it, and use the System for Alchemy... This was something he absolutely could not tell his Master!
Thinking of this, he quickly reacted and hurriedly said, "Master, I will directly refine the antidote pill. You will know whether it is correct or not once you see it."
Medicine Immortal, however, shook her head and said, "In the previous assessment, your ability to refine the Supreme Grade Mind Enlightenment Pill already proved that your Alchemy talent is not an issue."
"And this fourth assessment truly tests your Alchemy thought process, not the result."
"There's no need to perform Alchemy now; just tell me the process."
This...
Pei Ling's scalp immediately tingled. Seeing Medicine Immortal staring at him, he could only brace himself and repeat Jin Su Mian's previous problem-solving process: "I first repeatedly refined the Youji Town Life Pill to become thoroughly familiar with this poisonous pill. Then, by personally using a small amount of the poisonous pill powder, I personally experienced its toxicity to deduce the general direction for detoxification."
"Afterward, I extensively consulted ancient texts and sought advice from numerous Alchemy Seniors, successively testing out Red Yuan Ant Eggs, True Nether Water Essence, Myriad Blood Stone... these main Materials."
"Based on these Materials, I deduced over a thousand combinations of medicinal ingredients."
Speaking of medicinal ingredient combinations in one breath, Pei Ling immediately recited all the more than one thousand medicinal ingredient combinations recorded in the Jade Slip Jin Su Mian had given him...
Finally, he said, "At this point, Disciple is dull-witted and could only try one furnace after another to finally determine the ultimate combination of medicinal ingredients..."
Medicine Immortal listened carefully, and only after Pei Ling finished speaking did she nod slightly.
Although the specific problem-solving process her Disciple described was not very detailed, the most important point, personally testing the poison, was not omitted.
The core of this fourth assessment was to refine an antidote pill for a poisonous pill, but if the Alchemist himself had not experienced the specific medicinal properties, onset time, and conditions of the poisonous pill... how could he thoroughly grasp all aspects of an unfamiliar poisonous pill?
How then could he talk about targeted detoxification?
Thinking of this, Medicine Immortal said, "The thought process is correct, and the Pill Formula for the antidote pill is also fine."
"You have passed this fourth assessment."
Hearing this, Pei Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, when Jin Su Mian was solving the problem earlier, he had been paying attention to her process and progress, otherwise, he would have been finished this time!
Thinking of this, he immediately said, "Thank you, Master!"
Medicine Immortal nodded slightly, then said, "Extend your left hand."
Pei Ling immediately extended his left hand.
Medicine Immortal used her finger as a brush, her slender, fair, and tender hand drawing a complex Talisman in the air on Pei Ling's palm, resembling many intertwined vines.
Pei Ling immediately felt an invisible connection between his palm and Little Free Heaven.
Medicine Immortal said, "This is the Realm Marker of Little Free Heaven. With it, you can cross the Void Realm and enter Little Free Heaven after your Cultivation reaches the Returning Void Stage. Before the Returning Void Stage, you can also enter by setting up a Teleportation Array or Teleportation Talisman using the Realm Marker."
"However, what you have obtained now is only the right to freely enter and exit Little Free Heaven, not the ownership of Little Free Heaven."
"So each time you enter, you can only stay for three days."
"If you don't leave after three days, you will fall into a deep slumber until the next Lun Dan Grand Ceremony begins."
Speaking of this, Medicine Immortal grabbed something from the air, and a Jade Slip and an ancient scroll appeared in her hand.
"Ding dong! Detecting an unfamiliar Cultivation Technique from the outside world. The System is currently recording it for you..."
"Ding dong! Detecting an unfamiliar Pill Refining Art from the outside world. The System is currently recording it for you..."
The moment the System's prompt sounded, Pei Ling immediately knew that the Jade Slip and ancient scroll in his Master's hand, like the right to enter and exit Little Free Heaven, were also rewards for the fourth assessment.
Sure enough, the next moment, he heard Medicine Immortal continue, "You have completed the owner's Legacy task this time. In addition to the right to freely enter and exit Little Free Heaven, you can also obtain one of the owner's high-level Cultivation Techniques and one of the owner's unique Pill Refining Art techniques."
"This Jade Slip contains the Cultivation Technique, named Eternal Fire True Art. It is an immortal-grade Cultivation Technique, no less than the true Legacies of the Nine Great Sects."
"The owner had considered that future generations might be Loose Cultivators, so he specially left behind this Cultivation Technique to prevent future generations from falling behind in Cultivation due to a lack of good Cultivation Techniques, thus being unable to inherit the owner's subsequent Legacy."
"Although you are not a Loose Cultivator, Demonic Technique, besides being harmful to heaven and earth, affects one's Heart-Nature the longer one Cultivates it."
"This Cultivation Technique left by the owner is also quite suitable for you now."
"As for this Pill Refining Art technique, take it and study it carefully."
"The owner's next Legacy assessment is related to this Pill Refining Art technique."
Speaking of this, Medicine Immortal handed the Jade Slip and ancient scroll to Pei Ling.
Pei Ling immediately took them with both hands and respectfully said, "Thank you, Master."
He quickly calculated in his mind. Long-term Cultivation of bloody Demonic Technique that required massacring cities, exterminating clans, extracting souls, and refining spirits indeed had a significant impact on one's Heart-Nature, but he currently performed most of his Cultivation through the System.
Therefore, until now, he hadn't felt any major issues.
Alchemist Ancestor's immortal-grade Cultivation Technique was useful to him, but it wasn't something he absolutely had to Cultivate.
As for Pill Refining Art, it was the same principle as the Cultivation Technique; since he used the System for Alchemy, no matter how profound this Alchemy technique was, it wasn't that important to him.
The greatest gain from passing this assessment was the Realm Marker of Little Free Heaven now inscribed on his palm!
Next, as long as he set up a fixed Teleportation Array to Little Free Heaven, or drew a sufficient number of Teleportation Talismans, he could continuously enter Little Free Heaven to Cultivate!
Chapter 979 What is Return to the Void? (Second update! Please subscribe!)
Although he could only stay for three days at a time, it didn't matter. Pei Ling could enter and exit repeatedly, Cultivating for only three days each time, then leaving and re-entering…
It was a bit troublesome, but it was safe enough!
At this moment, Medicine Immortal took out another Jade Slip and handed it to Pei Ling, saying, “This is Master’s next Legacy test. If you solve this test, you can obtain three high-grade Pill Formulas created by Master, as well as many Alchemy insights and experiences.”
“In addition, there is also partial control over the ‘Little Free Heaven’.”
“When you enter the ‘Little Free Heaven’ again in the future, you will not be affected by Master’s slumber.”
Hearing this, Pei Ling took the Jade Slip and immediately began to examine its contents, then was quickly stunned.
This Legacy test required him to create ten Pill Formulas that could be used for proper purposes and be widely circulated throughout the world.
This was another Alchemy test that could not be completed by the System!
Of course, if it was just about creating Pill Formulas, for Jin Su Mian… well, for him, the difficulty wouldn't be too great.
The You Ji Detoxification Pill was a Pill Formula he had created.
However, for Pill Formulas like the You Ji Detoxification Pill, how many people in the entire world could truly use them?
To achieve the phrase “widely circulated,” one could directly exclude all high-grade Medicinal Pills. Among low-grade Medicinal Pills, such as the Pei Yuan Pill for restoring spiritual Qi, the Qi and Blood Pill for replenishing Qi and blood, and the Rejuvenation Pill for healing injuries… these were all widely circulated Pill Formulas.
The most direct method would be to create Pill Formulas that are simpler to refine, cost less, and have stronger Medicinal effects, based on Medicinal Pills like the Pei Yuan Pill, Qi and Blood Pill, and Rejuvenation Pill.
In other words, it means improving these already widely circulated Pill Formulas…
Thinking of this, Pei Ling immediately decided to go find Jin Su Mian again and see if she could do it…
So, he respectfully said, “Disciple will diligently study and will never let Master down!”
Medicine Immortal nodded slightly, then waved her hand. The many vines wrapped around Mo Li Lan immediately loosened, like a blooming emerald mandala.
Freed from the entanglement and concealment of the vines, Mo Li Lan’s eyes were still tightly closed, her long hair fluttering, yet she was still supported by an invisible force, suspended in mid-air.
Medicine Immortal said, “The Great Dao we Cultivate are different. Continuing to absorb the power of earth and wood may not be a good thing for your Incarnation.”
Pei Ling hurriedly said, “Yes.”
He immediately took action and recalled his Incarnation. Mo Li Lan slowly descended in front of him, and they each extended a hand to touch. After their hands clasped, she instantly transformed into a mass of darkness and plunged into Pei Ling’s body.
Complex dark red patterns flashed and disappeared. His main body had already undergone Fusion with the Incarnation, and his aura instantly surged by a significant margin.
At this moment, Medicine Immortal was nodding slightly. Master’s task had almost been explained.
With a slight turn of thought, she asked, “Do you have any problems with your Cultivation?”
Pei Ling immediately nodded, then said, “An elder in my Sect once said that my Opportunity for Returning to Void is in the You Su Tomb.”
“May I ask Master how one should achieve Returning to Void?”
“Also, what exactly is the situation within the You Su Tomb?”
Hearing this, Medicine Immortal’s eyes showed surprise, and then she looked up above Pei Ling’s head. Her emerald-like eyes immediately glowed with a misty clear light, and not long after, she lightly furrowed her brows.
After a moment, she regained her composure and nodded slightly: “The so-called Returning to Void means the mind returns to emptiness, wandering between life and death. It is the beginning of comprehending the Law and the Dao.”
“After one’s Cultivation reaches the Peak of Soul Transformation, one can comprehend death from life, or life from death, and use this as a guide to enter the Returning to Void Realm.”
“Returning to Void is divided into two types: Minor Dao Returning to Void and Great Dao Returning to Void.”
“Minor Dao Returning to Void involves preparing various Heaven And Earth Treasures for Returning to Void, and then, through profound Returning to Void Cultivation Technique, entering this Realm at the juncture of life and death.”
“Currently, most of the Returning to Void in the Nine Great Sects are Minor Dao Returning to Void.”
“As for Great Dao Returning to Void, it is through true life and death, breaking open the heavenly gate, and rushing into the Returning to Void Realm.”
“Cultivators who truly achieve Great Dao Returning to Void are very few.”
“After all, whether it is Minor Dao Returning to Void or Great Dao Returning to Void, both are paths to longevity.”
“If you only wish for Minor Dao Returning to Void, I have all the Returning to Void Materials you need here. You can directly achieve Returning to Void in the ‘Little Free Heaven’.”
“But if you want Great Dao Returning to Void, it’s best to go to the You Su Tomb!”
Hearing this, Pei Ling nodded slightly. Whether it was Minor Dao Returning to Void or Great Dao Returning to Void, he had not yet reached the Peak of Soul Transformation. What he needed to do now was just to understand; it was not yet time to make a real choice.
Medicine Immortal then continued, “As for the You Su Tomb, your current strength is already sufficient to enter it.”
“But remember one thing.”
“When entering the You Su Tomb, you must conceal all vital Qi on your body.”
“There were once three Taboos in the You Su Tomb.”
“Currently, ‘Curse’ has already left. The titles of the remaining two Taboos cannot be told to you.”
“Otherwise, if you know them, they will also know you.”
“And below these three Taboos, that Weird Mulberry is the most important one to pay attention to…”
A moment later, Medicine Immortal roughly explained everything she knew about the You Su Tomb.
However, she had only been to the You Su Tomb a few times, so her understanding of the situation was very limited.
After saying all this, Medicine Immortal’s eyes shimmered with watery light, and a crystal-clear bead quickly floated out.
Pei Ling immediately recognized it; this was the tian shang tears!
Medicine Immortal said, “This tear of mine can save your life at a critical moment.”
“If you choose Great Dao Returning to Void and succeed, you won’t need this tear. But if you fail, this tear can protect your fate and allow you to transition from Great Dao Returning to Void to Minor Dao Returning to Void…”
Pei Ling rejoiced in his heart. As he took the tian shang tears, he respectfully said, “Thank you, Master. Master is so kind to Disciple; Disciple will diligently Cultivate and will never disappoint Master!”
Medicine Immortal’s thick, curled long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and she said, “If there’s nothing else, this is where we conclude for now.”
“I need to continue my slumber.”
“If you complete the task again, just come here, and then circulate the Cultivation Technique left by Master, and you can directly awaken me.”
Pei Ling said, “Yes!”
The next moment, Medicine Immortal flicked her wide sleeve, and Pei Ling and the Evil Subjugation Banner were immediately and involuntarily moved out of the “Little Free Heaven” simultaneously.
Watching her Disciple’s figure disappear, Medicine Immortal did not immediately return to the vines to slumber, but instead frowned slightly.
That elder from the other Sect was absolutely right.
Her Disciple’s Opportunity for Returning to Void was indeed in the You Su Tomb, and even his vital Qi was in the You Su Tomb!
This matter involved Pei Ling’s future fortune, so she couldn’t say too much, as it would mislead his prospects.
She only hoped that this Disciple could successfully overcome this death tribulation…

Chapter 980 【The Secret of Eternal Fire】. (The third update! Please subscribe!)
On the riverbank by the Ji River.
A Formation concealed the commotion, and after a slight tremor and ripple-like fluctuations in space, a figure suddenly emerged—it was Pei Ling.
Upon returning to Pan Ya World, he immediately swept his Divine Thought around, and finding nothing amiss, he felt relieved.
At this moment, the Flag Spirit snorted and said, "The Medicine Fairy trusts you so much that she even gave you tian shang tears!"
Pei Ling nodded slightly. His Master had awakened early this time and seemed to be in poor condition, only giving him one drop of tian shang tears…
Thinking of this, he immediately replied, "Master is looking for a Legacy holder for Alchemist Ancestor. After so many Lun Dan Grand Ceremonies, I am the only one who might inherit Alchemist Ancestor's Legacy, so Master naturally doesn't want me to perish easily."
The figure of Evil Exterminator slowly emerged from the blood-colored flag. Her ponytail hair swayed in the wind, and her delicate little face was full of seriousness. She looked at Pei Ling and said earnestly, "The Medicine Fairy is a transformed immortal medicine of ten thousand years, inherently kind. Alchemist Ancestor's Legacy also embodies the four words 'healing the world with medicine.'"
"If you obtain Alchemist Ancestor's Legacy in the future, I hope you will use it for the Righteous Path, not for evil, and certainly not to disappoint your Master!"
Pei Ling shook his head slightly, thinking that he hadn't done anything evil. At most, he had been mutually attracted to Wenren Lingse, but this Evil Slaying Banner somehow kept imagining him as an unforgivable Devil Head?
However, whether he goes to You Su Tomb or not is beside the point for now; he still needs her protection for the next three years…
Thinking of this, Pei Ling immediately replied like coaxing a child, "'Evil Exterminator' Senior, don't worry. If I had ill intentions, how could I have gained Master's approval in the first place? After I obtain Alchemist Ancestor's Legacy, I will definitely help the world, widely spreading various life-saving, disease-curing, and injury-healing Pill Formulas. I will never fail Master's expectations."
Upon hearing these words, the Flag Spirit nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are teachable! It seems that although you are not a good person, you are not entirely without remorse."
"Once Due Abyss is rebuilt, you only need to be confined to the 'Earth' section."
Pei Ling directly ignored the Flag Spirit's words and took out the Jade Slip containing the Eternal Fire True Art, beginning to examine it.
Eternal Fire is a fire-element Cultivation Technique, serving both Alchemy and combat.
In addition to its True Scripture enhancing fire control and the power of fire-element spells, cultivating it to a certain level also allows one to comprehend three fire-element Divine Abilities.
They are 【Nine Transformations of Raging Flames】, 【Heart Burning Hell】, and 【Nirvana】.
And the auxiliary Materials required for Cultivation are a large amount of spiritual fire corresponding to one's Cultivation. Besides this, if one has the vital blood of fire-element Yao Beasts, the Cultivation effect is even better…
Regarding spiritual fire, there is plenty in the Earth Fire Valley of Little Free Heaven.
As for the vital blood of fire-element Yao Beasts, Pei Ling is now the Saint of Chongming Sect, so he naturally does not lack such Materials.
After finishing reading the entire Cultivation Technique, he nodded slightly.
This Eternal Fire True Art is stronger than he imagined, and its three Divine Abilities each have their uses. If he Masters them, his strength will definitely improve further.
However, Righteous Path Cultivation Techniques emphasize balance and moderation, and their Cultivation speed is far inferior to Demonic Technique. And to Cultivate the three fire-element Divine Abilities within the Cultivation Technique requires an even longer time.
"These few days, I have nothing to do, so I can try Cultivating it first."
"However, since I joined the sect, I have mainly focused on the Knife Dao. This fire-element Cultivation Technique can only be used as an auxiliary."
"If I were to completely switch to the fire Dao, everything would have to start from scratch, and the cost is too great…"
Thinking of this, he took out the ancient scroll and began to read it.
This ancient scroll recorded Alchemist Ancestor's unique Pill Refining Art technique, named 【Fu Fang Pill Refining Art Secret Art】. According to the opening of the ancient scroll, it was Alchemist Ancestor's Alchemy insights compiled during his stay in a place called "Fu Fang."
Pei Ling quickly finished reading the entire ancient scroll, but many of its explanations were too obscure and difficult to understand, even for a Genius like him. After reading it, it was as if he hadn't read it at all; he simply didn't know what this Pill Refining Art technique was about.
Of course, he has the System, so this is not a big deal for him.
His Master just said that his test this time was related to this Pill Refining Art technique, and solving it required creating a Pill Formula or improving an already refined common Pill Formula.
As a Saint, doing everything himself is just a waste of time.
This kind of thing can be left to Jin Su Mian. At that time, this Pill Refining Art technique will also be given to her…
"This 【Fu Fang Pill Refining Art Secret Art】 can also be entrusted to the System for a try. If the effect is indeed better than ordinary Pill Refining Art, I will use this Pill Refining Art technique for Pill Refining Art in the future."
"If it's about the same, then there's no need to bother too much…"
After sorting out his gains from this trip, Pei Ling immediately looked at the boundary marker in his left palm.
This is a key to entering and exiting Little Free Heaven. His most important task now is to use this boundary marker to set up a teleportation Formation to Little Free Heaven, or to create some teleportation Talismans that can transport him into Little Free Heaven.
However, he is currently in the battlefield of the Battle Between the Righteous and the Demonic, so a teleportation Formation is temporarily out of the question.
Therefore, Pei Ling plans to first create a batch of teleportation Talismans.
Teleportation Talismans are high-level Talismans in Talisman crafting, and the Outer Sect Talisman crafting course does not teach them at all. Fortunately, the Chongming Sect Saint Legacy that Pei Ling obtained contains detailed records.
But the Demonic Sect's Talisman crafting methods all use human skin, flayed alive after enduring countless tortures, as the Talisman paper for drawing Talismans… Although such Materials do not necessarily require him to do it himself, he still does not intend to use this method of Talisman crafting.
Thinking of this, he immediately asked, "'Evil Exterminator' Senior, how should a Righteous Path teleportation Talisman be made?"
The Flag Spirit glanced at Pei Ling, knowing that he wanted to create a teleportation Talisman for Little Free Heaven, and casually replied, "First, purchase high-level Talisman paper made from sapient plants in the Righteous Path market in Ci Province. Then, use the boundary marker in your hand as the core to draw the teleportation runes."
"I can teach you the teleportation runes for free, but in the future, you must not defile my Master again!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling frowned. When did he ever defile Wenren Lingse?
That was clearly mutual affection!
He immediately replied, "Senior, rest assured, I, Pei Ling, always act with a clear conscience!"
The Flag Spirit snorted, but finally said, "The drawing of teleportation runes, first…"
"Ding-dong! Detecting an unknown Talisman crafting technique being taught externally, the System is currently recording it for you…"
***
Several days passed in a flash.
Due to the calm weather these past few days, more tender shoots emerged from the low-lying areas by the river.
The initially peeking reed sprouts had already grown a section taller.
The tender green leaves swayed naively in the wind, which carried a mix of burnt and bloody smells, like innocent children opening curious eyes to this unfamiliar world.
Inside the large Formation on the riverbank, Pei Ling had just returned from outside.
Chapter 981: Making a Teleporting Talisman. (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
Pei Ling was currently dressed as a Loose Cultivator, looking unremarkable and with a mixed aura.
After entering the Formation, he quickly surveyed his surroundings, confirming that no one had discovered this Formation during his absence, nor had they left any traces nearby. Only then did his thoughts stir, and his entire being rippled slightly like the moon in water or a flower in a mirror, before instantly reverting to his original appearance.
On this trip, he had used the Eclipse Sun Secret Record to disguise himself as a Loose Cultivator and purchased a large quantity of High-Grade blank Talisman paper from the Righteous Path.
Since the Battle Between the Righteous and the Demonic was raging, the Righteous Path was in great need of such High-Grade Talisman paper and had no intention of selling it to outsiders.
However, Pei Ling did not purchase it with Spirit Stones; instead, he exchanged it for a large quantity of top-grade healing Medicinal Pills and recovery Medicinal Pills.
Thus, after an introduction from a Medicinal Pill shop in the market that had connections with the Five Righteous Sects, he easily acquired the Talisman paper he needed without wasting much time.
With the Talisman paper in hand, and the boundary marker and teleportation runes also acquired, all that remained was to formally draw the Talismans.
However, to be safe, after preparing everything and triple-checking, Pei Ling said to the Flag Spirit, “Next, I will begin making Talismans.”
“If I suddenly run out of this Grand Formation, attack me immediately.”
He quickly added, “Go easy on me; don’t seriously injure me!”
Having had experience before, the Flag Spirit was too lazy to ask for the reason this time and immediately said, “No problem. This time, I will follow the standard for prisoners in the Di Zone.”
The standard for prisoners in the Di Zone?
Pei Ling frowned upon hearing this, but it was not the time to argue with the other party. He immediately thought to himself, “System, I want to Cultivate. One-click Hosting 【Talisman Crafting Teleportation Talisman】.”
“Ding-dong! The Intelligent Cultivation System is at your service! One-click Hosting, intelligent upgrade! Beginning Hosting Cultivation now. Friendly reminder: During Cultivation, the host will lose control of their body. Please do not panic…”
“Ding-dong! Detecting 【Talisman Crafting Teleportation Talisman】 requires High-Grade Talisman paper, boundary markers, Spirit Stones…”
“Ding-dong! High-Grade Talisman paper, boundary markers, Spirit Stones detected…”
“Ding-dong! The System is beginning to craft Talismans for you…”
Along with the System prompt, Pei Ling immediately lost control of his body.
Immediately after, under the System’s control, he took out the High-Grade Talisman paper and Spirit Stones.
The Righteous Path’s High-Grade Talisman paper was all made from special, non-sentient plants. It appeared a slightly translucent light green, with a clear, fresh plant Qi lingering around it.
Looking closely, the light green Talisman paper had countless ice-crack-like patterns, and a vibrant spiritual energy slowly emanated from these patterns, revealing a delicate beauty.
The System held the High-Grade Talisman paper with its magic power, causing it to float in front, and then, using a Spirit Stone as a brush, began to draw the runes.
After just one stroke, a corner of the High-Grade Spirit Stone had already vanished into thin air.
At the same time, the magic power within Pei Ling’s body also rapidly depleted by a section.
Time passed bit by bit. A lot of Spirit Stone ash had already scattered on the ground, and when his magic power was largely consumed, the Talisman paper in mid-air was covered with complex runes on all four corners, with only the center remaining blank.
At this point, the System casually threw the remaining bit of High-Grade Spirit Stone aside, then raised Pei Ling’s left hand and pressed it onto the blank center of the Talisman.
Pei Ling immediately felt a surge of magic power, flowing through the boundary marker in his palm, into the Talisman.
The magic power quickly flowed along the many patterns on the Talisman, and in an instant, it had flowed back into his body. A sensation of heat came, and the boundary marker had been activated!
And his right hand quickly formed one complex hand Seal after another…
Under the System’s control, the magic power within Pei Ling’s body began to rapidly deplete.
And the palm of his left hand became hotter and hotter.
Half an hour later, a pure white rune floated in mid-air. It showed no trace of its original light green base color, and all the complex runes had disappeared, making it look like just a slightly special white paper. Powerful spatial energy continuously emanated from it, faintly carrying a hint of the aura of the Little Free Heaven.
The teleportation Talisman to the Little Free Heaven had been completed!
Next, under the System’s control, Pei Ling continued to draw the second teleportation Talisman…
Another half an hour passed. When he drew the second teleportation Talisman, his magic power was completely exhausted. Crafting this Talisman that teleports to the Little Free Heaven consumed an enormous amount of magic power.
This was even with Pei Ling being a Myriad Tribulations Soul Transformation. If it were an ordinary Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator, they probably wouldn't even be able to craft one such teleportation Talisman.
At this time, under the System’s control, Pei Ling immediately took out a handful of Medicinal Pills for restoring magic power and swallowed them directly.
After three days of this, Pei Ling had crafted over forty teleportation Talismans, and the System prompt finally sounded again: “Ding-dong! This Cultivation session has been completed. Thank you, host, for using the Intelligent Cultivation System. One-click Hosting, Ascension without worries! We look forward to your Cultivation review. If satisfied, please give five-star praise…”
After regaining control of his body, Pei Ling immediately let out a turbid breath. He first took a Medicinal Pill to recover some of his state, then put away the Evil Slaying Banner, and then took out a newly drawn teleportation Talisman and activated it directly.
The teleportation Talisman immediately transformed into a dazzling white beam of light, enveloping his entire body, then, like a shooting star, it flashed past and vanished into the Void Realm.
The scenery before his eyes rapidly changed, and soon, what met his gaze was a sea of white clouds, with a gentle, pale golden glow spilling across the sky.
Pei Ling had already entered the Little Free Heaven.
Looking around, his face lit up with joy. Excellent!
At a crucial moment, he had gained another trump card for escaping.
“I can only stay for three days each time…”
“I must seize the time to Cultivate…”
***
Jiuyi Mountain.
Above the clouds.
The astral winds howled, and bitter cold permeated the air.
An old man, gaunt and dressed in hemp clothes and straw sandals, stood in mid-air. He was the Reincarnation Tower Founder.
Opposite him, in the distance, stood an old man in a green robe and bamboo crown, with a clear aura, holding a white jade whisk, and a calm expression. He was one of the Ancestral Masters of Jiuyi Mountain.
The old man in green robes looked at the Reincarnation Tower Founder and said in a calm voice, “The Fallen Immortal is about to awaken. Our Righteous Path will naturally not stand idly by.”
“However, your Devil Dao Four Sects must immediately withdraw from the territory of Jiuyi Mountain.”
“Not only that, but in this battle within Jiuyi Mountain, countless innocent lives have perished, and those who were fortunate enough to survive are displaced, living in constant fear.”
“Countless Cultivators have died in battle.”
“It can be said that the land is ravaged!”
“The Devil Dao Four Sects must provide compensation and hand over the culprits of this war to be dealt with by our Five Sects.”
The Reincarnation Tower Founder said in a hoarse voice, “Once the Fallen Immortal awakens, he will surely bring a great calamity to this world. Continuing to Seal him is the shared responsibility of both the Righteous and Pseudo-Dao.”
“Yet the Pseudo-Dao takes advantage of the situation to demand a truce, which is truly taking advantage of others’ misfortune and being too greedy.”
The Ancestor of Jiuyi Mountain said indifferently, “It’s fine if there’s no truce. Since I have already come out of seclusion, I will first resolve this great battle, and then it won’t be too late to go to the Eternal Night Desert.”

The Reincarnation Tower Founder shook his head slightly and said, "Pseudo-Dao is Pseudo-Dao. They constantly speak of benevolence and kindness, but at critical moments, they are selfish and disregard all living beings!"
"Such hypocrisy and pretentiousness are truly despicable."
"A dignified Ancestral Master actually intends to personally take action against those juniors."
The Patriarch of Nine Doubts Mountain said concisely, "Precisely!"
Upon hearing this, the Reincarnation Tower Founder fell silent, and after a moment, he said, "Since no one is willing to compromise, then let the juniors compete."
"Our Holy Path will each send one Disciple, and your False Path Five Sects will do the same."
"Four against five. Whoever wins, we will listen to them."
"Our Holy Path has even conceded one Disciple to you!"
The Patriarch of Nine Doubts Mountain said without hesitation, "No matter how strong the Disciples are, they are still just Disciples."
"They are not qualified to represent a Sect!"
"If we are to compete, let the Sect Masters of our respective Sects personally enter the fray!"
The Reincarnation Tower Founder said, "That would take too long, and the Fallen Immortal could awaken at any moment now."
"In that case," the Patriarch of Nine Doubts Mountain said calmly, "then quickly cease hostilities, hand over this generation's Grand F屠 Order, and compensate our Five Righteous Sects for all their losses."
The Reincarnation Tower Founder shook his head and said, "That's impossible!"
After a moment of such stalemate, as the negotiations were about to break down, the Patriarch of Nine Doubts Mountain suddenly heard a faint voice in his ear: "We have already reached an agreement with Wu Shi Villa. They will cease fighting, and we will immediately support the Eternal Night Desert."
The Patriarch of Nine Doubts Mountain was slightly surprised, then quickly realized that among the Four Great Demonic Sects, Wu Shi Villa was the most whimsical, never considering profit or logic in their actions.
In the current situation, they were the easiest to talk to...
At the same time, the Reincarnation Tower Founder also received a message: "Brother 'Five Plagues', the Inferior Immortal of Yanxi City has already been taken under my command and has received my Immortal Edict. He will soon lead the other Pseudo-Dao to support the Eternal Night Desert."
"Now, the False Path Five Sects are all under the control of my Wu Shi Villa."
"There is no need for the Immolation War to continue. Have your Disciples from Reincarnation Tower retreat."
Taken under command?
The Reincarnation Tower Founder frowned and immediately asked via Divine Thought, "How did you take Yanxi City under your command?"
The Ancestral Master of Wu Shi Villa replied, "The Ancestral Master of Yanxi City addressed me as 'Immortal Emperor,' saying that an Immortal Emperor should naturally protect all living beings. Being magnanimous, I naturally will not bother with such an Inferior Immortal in an Illusion Realm."
"Alright!"
"Don't waste any more time. This is an Immortal Edict; you just need to do as I say."
"I still need to inform those two Inferior Immortals from Chongming Sect and Heavenly Born Sect."
※ ※ ※
A few days later.
By the river.
The surrounding reeds had already grown to knee height.
As the wind blew, the leaves bowed low, creating a shimmering green wave.
Within the great formation, Pei Ling held a Teleportation Talisman with a deep frown.
It was different from what he had imagined. Each time he entered the Little Free Heaven, he could only Cultivate for three days.
But after three days, returning to Pan Ya World... the Realm Mark on his palm had changed!
At present, all the Teleportation Talismans he had refined three days ago had become ineffective!
"It seems that the position of the Little Free Heaven in the Void Realm is not fixed..."
"Every time I enter, the location of the Little Free Heaven changes. This should be a protective measure of the Little Free Heaven itself while Master is in slumber."
"The previous Void Heaven Realm Seed was not affected, but now, a Teleportation Talisman can only be refined one at a time and used immediately..."
"It's a bit troublesome, but for now, this is the only way..."
After pondering for a moment, Pei Ling said to the Evil Subjugation Banner beside him, "Senior Evil Exterminator, I need to continue refining Teleportation Talismans now. This time, as soon as one Talisman is completed, please immediately attack me."
"However, don't be too heavy-handed."
The Flag Spirit was already accustomed to this and replied expressionlessly, "I understand."
Seeing this, Pei Ling immediately felt relieved. Then, he silently chanted in his mind: "System, I want to Cultivate. One-click Hosting 【Talisman Crafting Technique Teleportation Talisman】."
"Ding dong! Intelligent Cultivation System is wholeheartedly at your service! One-click Hosting, intelligent upgrade! Beginning Hosting Cultivation now. Friendly reminder: During Cultivation, the host will lose control of their body. Please do not panic..."
Half an hour later, a white Talisman floated in mid-air, and Pei Ling had successfully crafted another Teleportation Talisman.
Under the System's control, he continued to draw the second Teleportation Talisman.
Just then, the Flag Spirit struck, knocking Pei Ling to the ground with a palm. It was a bit better than last time; he didn't sink into the ground this time.
"Ding dong! External attack detected. This Cultivation session ends here. Thank you, Host, for using the Intelligent Cultivation System. One-click Hosting, worry-free Ascension! We look forward to your Cultivation review. If satisfied, please give a five-star rating..."
Along with the System's prompt, Pei Ling regained control of his body. He immediately climbed up from the ground, took a Medicinal Pill for healing, and then circulated his Cultivation Technique to heal his injuries.
This time, his injuries were not severe, and he quickly recovered mostly. He then put away the Evil Subjugation Banner, picked up the newly drawn Teleportation Talisman, and immediately activated it.
The surrounding scenery rippled like water, and soon, Pei Ling was once again teleported into the Little Free Heaven.
White clouds piled up like mountains and seas, and golden light faintly shone in the sky.
He stepped on white clouds, and before he could even begin to Cultivate, a surge of sleepiness instantly swept over him.
Pei Ling frowned and immediately realized that since he had just left the Little Free Heaven and re-entered, the time would not reset!
If he didn't leave immediately, he would fall into a slumber just like his Master!
Thinking of this, he immediately activated the Realm Mark in his left palm.
Immediately, the surrounding scenery once again swayed as if on the surface of water.
After a short while, he returned to Pan Ya World.
The wind, mixed with a burnt smell and cold silence, blew calmly. The reeds bowed their heads in unison, and as their leaves turned, clusters of charcoal-stained soil were revealed.
Pei Ling's Divine Thought swept across, confirming that there were no problems around him. He immediately looked at his left palm, feeling that the Realm Mark in his palm had changed again!
This time, Pei Ling was no longer surprised.
He quickly adjusted his state, then took out the Evil Subjugation Banner and Talisman paper, preparing to draw the next Teleportation Talisman...
Three days later.
Little Free Heaven.
Among the continuous white clouds, a cloud-mountain suddenly churned like boiling water.
Not long after, the cloud mass wriggled and then suddenly split open, revealing a figure, which was Pei Ling.
As soon as he entered, he was ready to activate the Realm Mark in his left palm at any moment, but after waiting for a while, no sense of drowsiness came over him.
Seeing this, Pei Ling nodded slightly. After Cultivating for three days in the Little Free Heaven and leaving, besides the Realm Mark changing, there would also be a three-day interval. If he re-entered the Little Free Heaven during this interval, he would immediately be affected by his Master's slumber.
Chapter 983 The War Will End. (Second update! Please subscribe!)
“It seems that in the future, if I have to undertake any missions, I need to set aside three days and not enter Little Free Heaven.”
“This way, if anything unexpected happens, I can confidently escape into it.”
“Now, I can begin to Cultivate…”
“Last time, I Cultivated the Eternal Fire True Art, but it will still take a long time to comprehend a Divine Ability.”
“On the other hand, my current Realm is already at the Peak of the Soul Transformation Middle Stage. Breaking through to the Soul Transformation Late Stage will definitely be faster than Cultivating the Divine Ability of the Eternal Fire True Art.”
“Now, Breakthrough is the priority!”
With this thought, Pei Ling immediately decided to first Cultivate the Blood Blade True Understanding.
So, he summoned the Flag Spirit and instructed, “Senior Evil Exterminator, if I inexplicably stand up after my Cultivation breaks through to the Soul Transformation Late Stage, immediately attack me, but be gentle.”
After all, every time he had a Realm Breakthrough, the System would automatically give him a Dao Companion for free.
In this Little Free Heaven, there was only one suitable Dao Companion candidate, Medicine Immortal, and the System had already provided her, so there was originally nothing to worry about.
However, he had now brought the Evil Slaying Banner in as well.
The System wouldn't even let go of a corpse, what if it gifted him the Flag Spirit?
At this moment, the Flag Spirit said expressionlessly, “Alright.”
Pei Ling nodded slightly, then silently recited in his mind, “System, I want to Cultivate. One-click Hosting Blood Blade True Understanding…”
“Ding dong! The Intelligent Cultivation System is dedicated to serving you! One-click Hosting, intelligent upgrade! Now beginning Hosting Cultivation. Friendly reminder: During Cultivation, the host will lose control of their body. Please do not panic…”
※※※
Jiuyi Mountain.
You Prefecture battlefield.
On a hill, the originally dense vegetation was long gone, scorched earth everywhere, and the smell of blood, mixed with the sounds of fighting, spread far and wide.
Several Righteous Path Disciples, clad in blue robes with pure and clear Auras, activated their Magic Treasures and performed hand seals, currently Siege a Heavenly Born Sect Cultivator in white robes and a golden crown. His appearance was handsome and his stature tall; he was none other than Huo Fei, a true Disciple of the Heavenly Born Sect.
As Huo Fei waved his hand, blood light filled the sky, and countless blood hands and blood footprints continuously appeared, crawling out from the Void Realm towards the Righteous Path Disciples.
“Demonic Path scoundrel, how dare you!” Realizing that those blood hands and blood footprints were all extremely tiny, clearly belonging to infants, the Righteous Path Cultivators grew even more enraged. Shang Fufeng, their leader, threw out his folding fan, which instantly grew as large as a mountain, carrying the intent to subjugate demons, and pressed down on Huo Fei.
Huo Fei sensed the Aura and dared not meet it head-on, quickly dodging aside.
After a short while of fighting, he gradually fell into a disadvantage. Seeing that defeat was imminent, he no longer hesitated. The gem on his forehead burned, his speed surged, and he immediately fled.
“Pseudo-Dao running dogs, disobeying the will of heaven, you will surely suffer disaster! I'll take my leave first. When I return, I'll blood sacrifice everyone in You Prefecture and use your relatives and kin as blood food!”
His figure transformed into a streak of blood light and vanished into the distance, but his venomous voice still echoed for a long time over the hill.
Seeing this, the Righteous Path Disciples did not continue the pursuit. Even Shang Fufeng, after a moment of changing expressions, finally put away his folding fan and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go and see if there are any survivors in the nearby villages.”
Their mission was not to kill enemies, but to rescue the mortal beings in this area.
“Senior Brother Shang, the number of Demonic Cultivators attacking the city recently has been decreasing. It seems the Demonic Path's perverse actions cannot last much longer,” a female Cultivator said softly, offering subtle comfort.
Upon hearing this, another male Cultivator said, “It is said that Wu Shi Villa has been continuously retreating these past few days. I wonder what exactly happened.”
The female Cultivator said, “No matter what happened, without Wu Shi Villa charging forward, the Demonic Path won't be able to hold on for long.”
A Cultivator who appeared to be the youngest surveyed the surrounding devastation and sighed lightly, saying, “This is good. May this great war end quickly so that all beings no longer have to suffer such hardships.”
As they spoke, they had already activated their escape techniques and began to inspect inch by inch…
※※※
Jiuyi Mountain.
Ji Prefecture.
Ning Wuye, in white robes and a bamboo crown, stood in the Void Realm, his face devoid of any expression.
Three thousand li of heaven and earth, Sword Intent crisscrossed, dense like a fishing net.
Everything in sight was reduced to dust.
The original landscape, vegetation, houses, rivers, mountains… everything was gone.
Only majestic Sword Intent and rampant Demonic might filled the entire heaven and earth.
But at this moment, the Sword Intent was incomparably sharp, and the originally opposing Demonic might was being continuously devoured, eroded, and annihilated…
In the center of the battlefield, a Demonic Path Cultivator in gray robes, with an evil and Weird Aura around him, stood proudly. A Glazed Tile Pagoda hung at his waist, a symbol of his identity as a Reincarnation Tower Elder.
The two sides faced each other from a distance.
After a moment, a bloodstain instantly appeared from the Reincarnation Tower Elder's forehead down to his chin.
The bloodstain continuously lengthened and expanded. Soon, it quickly spread over his head, down his neck, and towards his chest.
Accompanied by the teeth-grinding sound of bones and flesh splitting open, the bloodstain grew thicker and thicker, and gushing blood splattered… Finally, his entire Dao Body fell to both sides, internal organs spilled all over the ground, and his corpse was split in two!
At the same time, the soul within his Dao Body quickly dissipated, with no chance to flee or undergo Possession.
In mid-air, Ning Wuye calmly reached out and beckoned. A cold gleam flew like lightning before him. His Natal Flying Sword, gleaming with clear light, returned to its sheath.
Adjusting his robes, the Sword Saint surveyed his surroundings and sighed softly.
After returning from the Eternal Night Desert, he quickly broke through to Nine Tribulation Transformation God in a secret place of the Han An Sword Sect. After that, he comprehended the sword for half a year and recently emerged from seclusion. He originally wanted to challenge a Demonic Path peer with his sword, but instead encountered this Reincarnation Tower Elder. After a great battle, the Elder's life served to sharpen his Natal Flying Sword after entering the Soul Transformation Stage.
However, at this moment, he felt no joy in defeating an Old Ancestor of the Soul Transformation Realm. Bones lay exposed in the wilderness, no chickens crowed for a thousand li… Such a tragic sight truly caused any Righteous Path Cultivator who witnessed it to feel unspeakable sorrow.
Just as Ning Wuye was about to leave this place and search for traces of Demonic Cultivators elsewhere, a sword light whistled from beyond the sky, arriving instantly not far from him. The sword light dissipated, revealing a Cultivator in red robes with unbound hair and bare feet. His body exuded a fierce Sword Intent, and he carried a dark longsword on his back. As he looked around, his eyes seemed to hold unsheathed sharp blades, captivating souls.
Ning Wuye immediately stepped forward and bowed, “Disciple greets Old Ancestor Du.”
The newcomer was Du Fuchun, one of the Old Ancestors of the Han An Sword Sect. When the Five Righteous Sects were invited to the Chongming Sect to attend the new Saint Son Inauguration Ceremony, he was the Old Ancestor representing the Han An Sword Sect for the subsequent observation.
Looking at Ning Wuye now, he nodded slightly, then said, “The great war is about to end. Ancestral Master ‘Cheng Rong’ has emerged from seclusion. You, now, immediately follow me to pay respects to the Ancestral Master.”
“The Ancestral Master wants to know everything that happened in the Eternal Night Desert half a year ago.”
The great war is about to end?
Ancestral Master emerged from seclusion?
Ning Wuye was startled, then quickly recovered and replied, “Yes!”
Du Fuchun said, “Follow me.”
Before his words finished, sword light rose again, already shooting like lightning towards the sky from which he came.
Ning Wuye nodded and immediately activated his Sword Escape, following closely, but he felt very regretful in his heart.
When he emerged from seclusion this time, he had intended to challenge Pei Ling, the Myriad Tribulations Soul Transformation. He hoped that after meeting the Ancestral Master, it would still not be too late…

Come back to read on the third and fourth nights.
Chapter 984: Disturbing People's Sweet Dreams. (The third update! Please subscribe!)
Jiuyi Mountain.
By the Ji River.
The swift current suddenly stirred, and on the riverbank, three figures with balanced, pure, and clear Auras abruptly appeared.
The leader had long, flowing hair, dressed in a stone-blue wide-sleeved robe with gold speckles. His brows were relaxed, his demeanor like a celestial being with the grace of the moon. He held a Wooden Ruyi, carved with clouds, cranes, and spiritual fungi, with a five-colored beaded tassel at its end. His body glowed with a pure light, and his Qi was pristine, seemingly merging with the surrounding world. This was Fu Xuanxu, the Daozi of Jiuyi Mountain.
To his left was a person dressed in the Imperial Prince's robes of the Liulan Imperial Dynasty, wearing a crimson-gold crown. His Aura was the weakest among the three, and he was Zhong Kui Yueji, the Crown Prince of Liulan.
As for the Cultivator on his right, she wore luxurious robes and jade skirts, with wide sleeves and pearl ornaments. Her moth-like eyebrows and graceful eyes, her long, elegant neck, exuded a noble and beautiful Aura, like a blooming 瓊花 or the bright moon in the sky. Every glance she cast was filled with grace.
This was Celestial Maiden Yan Minghua of Su Zhen Heaven. She had just returned from Azure Billow Mountain, and her Aura had also entered the ranks of Nine Tribulation Transformation God.
The three of them extended their Divine Thoughts, quickly scanning the surroundings. Fu Xuanxu’s Ruyi continuously shed pure light. He said in a deep voice, “This should be the place.”
“Junior Brother Ning has not yet arrived.”
Upon hearing this, Zhong Kui Yueji immediately said, “Brother Ning encountered some trouble on the way, but he should be able to arrive very soon.”
In this operation, among the heirs of the Five Righteous Sects, only the Young City Lord of Yanxi City, whose cultivation had not yet reached Soul Transformation, did not participate. The other Four Sects would all be present.
However, Ning Wuye was delayed on his way because he encountered a Devil Head Elder blocking his path. With the Sword Cultivator’s escape speed, he had not yet arrived.
At this moment, Yan Minghua looked at the opposite bank of the Ji River and sent a Divine Thought, “This Chong Ming Sect Devil Head is openly setting up a formation here right in front of us. He must be planning to act on the water source! This act shows he doesn’t take us of the Righteous Path seriously at all.”
Fu Xuanxu calmly said, “Myriad Tribulations Soul Transformation indeed grants him that qualification.”
“Don’t be careless later.”
“This is war, not a fair sparring match.”
“Once Junior Brother Ning arrives, the four of us will attack together. We cannot give this Devil Head any chance to breathe!”
Zhong Kui Yueji and Yan Minghua both nodded slightly, “Understood.”
The pure light continued to scatter, concealing their tracks. They looked at the empty opposite bank and began to wait patiently.
※ ※ ※
Ashen Altar Palace.
The spacious and tall Main Hall was vast and dim. Bone fires floated on both sides, their pale white flames flickering coldly, illuminating only a small area.
In the deepest part of the Main Hall, on ninety-nine steps, a pitch-black throne stood silently.
On either side of the throne, within lamps carved from a pair of exotic skulls, bone fires burned fiercely, reaching a height of ten feet.
Suddenly, the bone fires erupted, instantly leaping dozens of feet high, reaching the ceiling of the hall.
At the same time, a slender figure appeared on the throne without any warning.
Li Lieyue’s black dress was like the night, almost merging with the entire throne.
Looking up from below, in the darkness, her pale face seemed to float without any support.
Her exquisite face held a cold expression, possessing a frost-like sharpness and beauty.
She slowly opened her eyes. At this moment, in the darkness where the bone fires could not reach, pairs of ink-colored eyes opened, and a smoke-like skirt trailed out little by little.
Li Lieyue stood up, about to head to the side hall, but she sensed a disturbance from a Talisman in her storage bag.
With a thought, she took out the Talisman. After activating it, Li Wujiu's voice immediately came through: “Hunt Moon, don’t proactively engage with the Pseudo-Dao recently. If you can avoid battle, avoid it!”
A hint of surprise appeared on Li Lieyue’s pale face as she asked, “Father, what happened?”
Li Wujiu said in a deep voice, “The changes in the Eternal Night Desert are becoming more and more severe. Wu Shi Villa has already begun to retreat, and Ancestral Master has told us that we can also retreat.”
Upon hearing this, Li Lieyue’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. She said, “Junior Brother Pei has just taken the position of leader of the younger generation of the Holy Path. It’s precisely the time for him to show his capabilities, but now he lacks a truly famous battle record…”
Li Wujiu said indifferently, “No need! Tell him to come back immediately as well.”
“With his current cultivation and potential, as long as he doesn’t die, he will have plenty of opportunities to make a name for himself in the future.”
Li Lieyue pondered for a moment, then quickly replied, “Understood, I’ll send him a Divine Thought right away.”
The Talisman in her hand quickly extinguished.
Seeing that the Divine Thought with her father had ended, Li Lieyue immediately took out the Talisman she used to contact Pei Ling and activated it.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response from the Talisman.
Her delicate brows furrowed. She tried a few more times, and seeing that the Talisman remained unresponsive, she immediately stopped wasting time. She directly escaped the palace and swiftly flew towards Pei Ling’s location.
※ ※ ※
“Little Free Heaven.”
White clouds piled up like mountains and seas.
Golden light faintly appeared in the sky, shining gently.
On one of the cloud mountains, Pei Ling sat cross-legged, cultivating with his eyes closed.
At this moment, his body exuded an incomparably powerful Aura, his momentum like a rainbow, continuously rising. Soon, he reached the verge of Breakthrough to the Late Stage of Soul Transformation.
Under the System’s control, crimson patterns suddenly appeared all over Pei Ling’s body, then quickly converged behind him.
Soon, darkness appeared, and after it dissipated, Mo Li Lan’s figure was revealed.
After she appeared, she immediately walked out from behind Pei Ling and stopped in front of him.
Facing each other, it was clear that Mo Li Lan’s black hair was unbound, and her delicate face still had her eyes tightly closed. Her Aura, however, was identical to his own at this moment.
Pei Ling felt puzzled. His cultivation had not yet broken through, so why did the System make him split off an Incarnation?
As he was thinking, he saw Mo Li Lan’s face show a struggling expression, and then her eyes uncontrollably opened.
Instantly, her Aura became incredibly powerful, immediately surpassing his main body and causing the surrounding cloud sea to churn for quite some time!
And Mo Li Lan’s eyes were not pure white, but contained a powerful wood spirit Qi, extremely similar to his Master, Medicine Fairy’s, Aura.
Seeing this scene, Pei Ling was startled, then immediately realized that this was the nourishment the Incarnation had absorbed from the “Little Free Heaven” vines last time.
It was just that, at that time, the Incarnation’s Aura fluctuated, and after he recalled the Incarnation, he didn’t receive any of the benefits the Incarnation had absorbed from “Little Free Heaven,” so he thought the Incarnation couldn’t absorb the power from the vines, and he didn’t pay too much attention… Who knew all this power had been secretly kept by the Incarnation?!
At this moment, under the System’s control, Pei Ling and Mo Li Lan simultaneously extended their hands, palms touching.
Unlike before, this time, Mo Li Lan was not absorbed back into Pei Ling’s body, but the powerful and abundant wood spirit Qi on her body was madly surging into Pei Ling.
At the same time, Pei Ling felt a continuous stream of power pouring into his body, like surging waves. Because it was too vast, it made him feel a bit breathless for a moment.
Soon, Pei Ling’s Physical Body reached its limit and could not absorb any more power.
Chapter 985: Late Stage of Spiritualization. (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
The System controlled Pei Ling and Mo Li Lan to retract their respective arms simultaneously, but at this moment, Mo Li Lan's eyes had gradually returned to pure white, staring intently at Pei Ling.
Although she couldn't control this body right now, the immense rage in her eyes was clearly visible...
Perhaps because the main body could no longer bear more power, the System did not retract the Incarnation, but continued to sit and Cultivate.
The Blood Blade True Understanding rapidly circulated, and sharp, domineering Saber Intent emanated from his body, tearing apart the nearby clouds.
Pei Ling's Aura was steadily advancing from the Peak of the Middle Stage Soul Transformation to the Late Stage Soul Transformation...
***
Ci Province battlefield.
By the Ji River.
The three Righteous Path cultivators stood quietly.
Knowing that Pei Ling was a Myriad Tribulations Soul Transformation, they were all extremely cautious, and even with the concealment of the Wooden Ruyi in Fu Xuanxu's hand, they had suppressed their respective Auras to the extreme.
A wild rabbit scurried past the hem of Heavenly Maiden's skirt, completely unaware of their presence.
Across the wide Ji River, they stared at the large Formation on the opposite bank from afar, to prevent being detected by the opponent's Divine Thought.
A moment later, a streak of escape light suddenly appeared in the sky, swiftly flying over and revealing a figure familiar to all three.
Her black dress was like night, as beautiful as a peach blossom, and her Aura was chilling; it was Li Lieyue.
Seeing the Saintess of Chongming Sect appear alone, the three of them showed no unusual reaction.
Their target this time was Saint Pei Ling of Chongming Sect, and since Ning Wuye had not yet arrived, it was not the time to alert the enemy.
More importantly, according to intelligence, Pei Ling was currently inside the Formation. If they were to attack Li Lieyue, the other party would immediately come to her aid. At that time, it would be three against two, and even if Li Lieyue had not yet reached Soul Transformation, with Pei Ling's Myriad Tribulations Soul Transformation ability, they would be more likely to lose than win.
Therefore, what they needed to do now was to wait for Ning Wuye to arrive and for Li Lieyue to leave.
At this moment, on the opposite bank of the Ji River, after Li Lieyue landed, she quickly detected the presence of the Formation with a secret art of her sect.
She quickly stepped forward, her Divine Thought spreading out mightily to probe the surrounding environment.
Noticing her actions, Fu Xuanxu allowed the Wooden Ruyi to float in mid-air, and with a hand seal, a gentle breeze instantly rose from the ground, seemingly tangible yet formless, enveloping them.
The next moment, Li Lieyue's Divine Thought swept past, but she did not detect the three of them at all.
After confirming that the surroundings were safe, she then stepped into the Formation, which was also recorded in the Saintess's Legacy.
Soon, her figure entered the Formation and disappeared.
Fu Xuanxu waved his hand to disperse the breeze and transmitted a message, asking, “When will Junior Brother Ning arrive?”
Zhong Kui Yueji quickly replied via transmission, “I'll ask again now.”
Before his words finished, he sensed a movement from the transmission Talisman in his storage bag. Taking it out, it was indeed Ning Wuye.
Seeing this, he quickly composed himself and set up a sound-insulating Formation around them before activating the Talisman.
Amidst the flickering light, Ning Wuye's voice immediately came through: “Brother Yue Ji, our sect's Ancestral Master 'Cheng Rong' has come out of seclusion and summoned me.”
“I might arrive a bit late. Do not rush to make a move; you must wait for me!”
The three of them were slightly surprised upon hearing this, and Zhong Kui Yueji immediately asked, “How long will it take, approximately?”
Ning Wuye quickly calculated and said, “Three days should be enough.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Xuanxu nodded slightly. Saint Pei Ling of Chongming Sect had been entrenched here for several days and did not seem to be leaving anytime soon. Waiting an additional three days should be enough time.
So he replied, “Good! If Pei Ling does not leave early, then we will make our move in three days!”
The transmission quickly ended, and Fu Xuanxu instructed, “The people are not yet all here; do not act rashly.”
Zhong Kui Yueji and Yan Minghua both assented.
...Meanwhile, inside the large Formation on the opposite bank of the Ji River, Li Lieyue was slightly frowning.
After successfully entering the large Formation according to the Legacy records, she discovered that Pei Ling was not inside at all!
However, the Aura he left behind was very obvious, so he must have just left not long ago.
So, she took out the transmission Talisman again. After activating it, it was still unresponsive, just like before.
Li Lieyue frowned and carefully inspected the environment inside the large Formation. There were no traces of a fight here. Junior Brother Pei should have only left temporarily; otherwise, if he truly intended to go somewhere, it was impossible for him not to say a word to her.
Thinking of this, she simply sat down to Cultivate and waited patiently.
***
Three days later.
Little Free Heaven.
The sea of clouds was vast, undulating, and strangely varied.
Pei Ling sat atop a cloud mountain, his vast and majestic Aura shattering the surrounding clouds, constantly carving out wide empty traces. Opposite him was the Incarnation Mo Li Lan, also forced to sit, her long hair flying wildly like an ink-colored cloak, spread out behind her.
The Evil Subjugation Banner floated in mid-air, its blood-colored flag fluttering, and the Flag Spirit's delicate, childlike face appearing and disappearing on the flag, rising and falling.
A moment later, Pei Ling's powerful Aura gradually began to recede.
His cultivation Aura had now reached the Late Stage Soul Transformation!
“Ding dong! This Cultivation has been completed. Thank you, Host, for using the intelligent Cultivation System. One-click hosting, worry-free Ascension! We look forward to your Cultivation review. If satisfied, please give five-star praise...”
“Ding dong! Detecting that the Host's cultivation has reached the Late Stage Soul Transformation, the System will freely gift you a Dao Companion...”
“Ding dong! Detecting that five Dao Companions were already gifted last time, this time there will be a fourfold free gifting...”
“Ding dong! No new Dao Companions meeting the conditions were detected...”
“Ding dong! The System will provide a fivefold free gifting for you next time...”
Control of his body returned, and Pei Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the System did not gift the Flag Spirit...
As he was thinking, Mo Li Lan also felt her entire body lighten, as if an incredibly heavy shackles had suddenly been released. She moved her fingers and found that her body had regained its freedom. She immediately looked at Pei Ling and asked, suppressing her anger, “Immortal Friend Pei, what do you mean?”
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling immediately came back to his senses. This time, his Cultivation, breaking through to the Late Stage Soul Transformation, seemed to have forcibly pulled the other party out of the Immortal Dream?
Thinking of this, he calmly replied, “It will be the same if you enter the Immortal Dream now.”
Mo Li Lan's expression was cold as she shook her head and said, “Unless you can provide me with a large amount of Law power again, allowing me to cast Nether Sky Grand Dream once more.”
“Otherwise, I cannot leave this vessel.”
Law power?
Pei Ling frowned and asked, “What about going to the Eternal Night Desert?”
Mo Li Lan still shook her head, saying, “No! There must be enough Law power to cast Nether Sky Grand Dream.”
Hmm... This is a bit troublesome!
But it had nothing to do with him anyway.
Moreover, this place was Little Free Heaven, and he had Master's protection... The true Fallen Immortal Will could not awaken, which was not a bad thing for him.
Therefore, Pei Ling replied with an unchanging expression, “No problem, I will definitely find a large amount of Law power for you next.”
Mo Li Lan said in a deep voice, “Better hurry! You took my main body's power. Without me dominating the dream, the main body's Chaos Will will soon come for you.”
“At that time, you will only have a dead end!”
At this moment, Pei Ling felt drowsiness sweep over him like a raging tide, and his thoughts became incredibly sluggish. Without much time to think, he immediately said, “Alright! I will take you to find Law power now.”
With that, he reached out and grabbed the other party.
Mo Li Lan did not resist.
As their hands met and their palms pressed together, she immediately transformed into dark red patterns and merged into Pei Ling's body.
In the short time it took to retract the Incarnation, Pei Ling's eyelids were already uncontrollably closing. He quickly grabbed the Evil Slaying Banner, then activated the boundary marker in his left palm.
The surrounding scenery rippled, and he had already returned to the Pan Ya World.

Jiuyi Mountain.
Ci Province battlefield.
By the Ji River.
Inside the grand formation, Li Lieyue was sitting cross-legged, cultivating alone.
Suddenly, she sensed something and immediately opened her eyes, only to see the space not far away rippling slowly like water. Immediately after, a familiar figure, holding a blood-colored banner, abruptly stepped out.
Junior Brother Pei has returned...
This should be a type of teleportation method, but there's clearly no teleportation array here!
Moreover, the aura of the blood-bottomed, mystic-patterned banner in Junior Brother Pei's hand was vast and profound, exuding a heavy majesty that made her feel a powerful threat rushing towards her!
This is no ordinary Magic Treasure!
Just as Li Lieyue was feeling puzzled, Pei Ling also noticed her. He was about to speak when the Evil Subjugation Banner in his hand immediately locked onto Li Lieyue. The 'Evil Exterminator' face appeared, its delicate small face full of rage: "This Demonic Path enchantress is utterly evil, having slaughtered countless living beings. Her crimes are unforgivable! She needs to be immediately imprisoned in Due Abyss for re-education!"
"Quickly apprehend her!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Pei Ling quickly put the Evil Subjugation Banner into his storage pouch.
Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Li Lieyue's face, then she asked: "Pseudo-Dao Magic Treasure?"
Pei Ling nodded, then asked: "Senior Sister, why are you here?"
As soon as Pei Ling brought up serious matters, Li Lieyue put the Magic Treasure issue aside and immediately said: "Three days ago, Wu Shi Villa began to retreat from Jiuyi Mountain. Father sent word that the Saint Sect also plans to withdraw its troops. But I couldn't reach you, so I came personally."
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling's heart stirred. With Wu Shi Villa and Chongming Sect preparing to retreat, and only Reincarnation Tower and Heavenly Born Sect remaining, this Battle Between the Righteous and the Demonic definitely couldn't continue!
The Battle Between the Righteous and the Demonic is about to end; this is good news!
Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Since the Sect was preparing to retreat three days ago, we can't delay any longer. We must return to the Sect quickly."
Li Lieyue nodded. In these three days, her clan had urged her several times.
She said: "The clan is currently gathered in the Ci Province main camp. We should go there first."
Pei Ling said: "Good!"
Immediately after, he took out a special Talisman, a communication Talisman used to contact Young F屠tu Commander of the Reincarnation Tower, and then activated it.
Young F屠tu Commander's voice immediately came from it: "Holy Son Pei, has the Curse been cast?"
Pei Ling said in a calm tone: "It's still a bit short, but the Sect has matters now, and I must return immediately."
With that, he didn't give Young F屠tu Commander any time to react and directly cut off the transmission.
Then he said: "Let's go!"
***
By the Ji River.
On the riverbank opposite the grand formation, the three Righteous Path Cultivators were patiently waiting, holding their breath.
At this moment, the space on the opposite bank suddenly rippled. The outline of the grand formation flashed and disappeared, and a cold, ominous blood sedan flew out from within the grand formation.
The three immediately looked solemn. A blood sedan traveling—this was the Chongming Sect Saint Pei Ling's favorite flying artifact!
Fu Xuanxu frowned. If Pei Ling suddenly left and they tried to stop him now... With one Nine Tribulation Transformation God missing, their chances of success were very low!
But if they didn't stop him and he returned directly to the Demonic Path main camp, this ambush would be fruitless...
Just as he was thinking, Zhong Kui Yueji suddenly took out a communication Talisman, from which Ning Wuye's voice immediately came: "What's the situation? I'll be there soon!"
Upon hearing this, the three immediately brightened. Fu Xuanxu immediately said: "We're about to make our move, come quickly!"
Ning Wuye said: "Good!"
As he spoke, the sound of wind in the communication Talisman intensified, as if he had sped up his escape.
After the transmission ended, Fu Xuanxu said in a deep voice: "Follow!"
Zhong Kui Yueji and Yan Minghua nodded slightly, both employing stealth techniques, trailing far behind the blood sedan.
***
Inside the blood sedan, Pei Ling handed over the control authority to Li Lieyue, allowing her to drive the blood sedan back to the Ci Province main camp.
He himself walked into the inner chamber at the back, took out the various Materials for making Talismans, carefully checked them, and then handed them over to the System for automatic crafting, continuing to make Talismans for teleporting to the Little Free Heaven.
The Evil Subjugation Banner was protecting him nearby. The Flag Spirit was now glaring with fiery eyes, saying in a deep voice: "You're actually walking with a Demonic Path enchantress! You've truly disappointed me!"
"As the saying goes, 'one who mixes with vermilion turns red, one who mixes with ink turns black.' You were originally an evil Demonic Cultivator, merely with a trace of good intention remaining.
"Continuing to associate with this enchantress will sooner or later lead you to fall completely into the Demonic Path without realizing it!"
"Such unrepentance means the 'Earth' zone is no longer suitable for you!"
"Once Due Abyss is rebuilt, you must enter the 'Heaven' zone!"
Pei Ling completely ignored the Evil Subjugation Banner's words. Although the Battle Between the Righteous and the Demonic was about to end, he couldn't let his guard down at all. He had to always have a teleportation Talisman to the Little Free Heaven on him.
Besides that, when he was in the Little Free Heaven just now, the Fallen Immortal Will said that the other party's main body, the Chaos Will, would come looking for him... Although he didn't know what this Chaos Will was, he still had to be fully prepared.
Using a High-Grade Spirit Stone as a brush, he slowly drew on the light green high-grade Talisman paper...
Since his cultivation had reached the Late Stage of Soul Transformation, the speed of making Talismans this time was much faster than when he was in the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation.
In just about a quarter of an hour, a pure white Talisman, blank and glowing, floated before him. The teleportation Talisman was complete.
The System controlled Pei Ling's hand to reach into his storage pouch, wanting to make a second one, when the Evil Subjugation Banner suddenly struck.
Pei Ling was knocked to the floor, and the entire blood sedan shook violently!
"Ding-dong! External attack detected. This cultivation session ends here. Thank you, Host, for using the Intelligent Cultivation System. One-click automatic cultivation, worry-free Ascension! We look forward to your cultivation review. If satisfied, please give five-star praise..."
Control of his body returned. Pei Ling immediately took out a Medicinal Pill for healing and consumed it. This Flag Spirit always strikes so hard. Next time he sees Wenren Lingse, he must tell Wenren Lingse to discipline it properly!
Just as he was thinking, Li Lieyue's voice transmission sounded in his ear: "What happened just now?"
Pei Ling transmitted back: "Nothing..."
Before he finished speaking, he frowned, immediately sensing that three people were following behind the blood sedan.
The auras of these three were very well concealed. When an ordinary Cultivator's Divine Thought swept over, the area where they were located appeared empty, with nothing there at all.
But they couldn't escape his Divine Thought perception at the Late Stage of Myriad Tribulations Soul Transformation!
Especially the aura of one of them, which he was very familiar with.
It was Yan Minghua!
Had Yan Minghua discovered his identity?
No!
That's not right!
If Yan Minghua had recognized his identity, she would have come to him alone, not brought the other two. Moreover, the auras of those two... were also heirs of the Five Righteous Sects!
Pei Ling immediately frowned. Three Righteous Path heirs secretly tracking him, the Saint of Chongming Sect—their purpose was obvious.
Chapter 987 Chaos Will. (Second update! Please subscribe!)
As he thought this, the Medicinal Pill's potency spread, and Pei Ling’s injuries had mostly recovered. He first put away the Evil Slaying Banner, and was hesitating whether to make a move to scare the three away…
Boom!!!
With an earth-shattering bang, the blood sedan crashed directly from mid-air without warning.
The ground instantly caved into a huge pit. Amidst flying sand and rolling stones, underground spring water gurgled out, mixing with the dust and spreading everywhere.
A Mad Demon with dark skin, snakes entwined around its ears, and blood-red eyes, appeared in mid-air where the blood sedan had been.
This Mad Demon was wrapped in beast hide around its waist, its long hair was messy like a bird’s nest, and its aura was wild, chaotic, depraved, and evil…
After knocking down the blood sedan, it did not hesitate and immediately looked towards the distance.
Pei Ling and Li Lieyue were standing shoulder to shoulder in the air, having already escaped before the blood sedan crashed.
At this moment, Pei Ling was looking at the Mad Demon in front of him with a puzzled gaze. This aura… it was a Mad Demon from the Eternal Night Desert!
“Eternal Night Desert!” Li Lieyue also recognized the Mad Demon’s identity at a glance. With a wave of her fair hand, a crisp and pleasant bell sound rang out, and the Crossing Tribulation Soul Suppression Bell immediately appeared in her hand.
At this moment, the Mad Demon reached out to them from afar. Its arm continuously extended and grew, quickly transforming into a giant palm disproportionate to its size, covering the sky and sun, and grabbing towards Pei Ling and Li Lieyue.
Pei Ling’s expression remained unchanged.
Li Lieyue made her move. As the Crossing Tribulation Soul Suppression Bell chimed, skulls swiftly flew out of the wind chimes, and a piercing howl instantly echoed in the air.
Boom!
The skulls swept through the air, and the Mad Demon’s palm instantly shattered into pieces of flesh, falling from mid-air.
However, there was no blood dripping from its wounds. The severed ends rapidly mutated, and countless arms instantly grew from within, continuing to grab towards Pei Ling and Li Lieyue.
At the same time, the Mad Demon’s body also began to mutate. Heads, arms, and legs sprouted like mushrooms after rain, and its aura instantly became extremely terrifying.
Pei Ling immediately noticed that something was wrong. This Mad Demon’s aura was only at the Nascent Soul Realm just now, so he naturally wasn’t afraid at all.
But in the blink of an eye, it had already entered the Soul Transformation Realm, and was even about to Breakthrough to the Void Refinement Realm!
Moreover, as the Mad Demon mutated, its aura continued to grow!
They had to finish this quickly!
Otherwise, they would soon face a monster at the Void Refinement Realm, or even a higher Realm.
Thinking of this, Pei Ling pressed down Li Lieyue’s arm, not letting her continue to attack. With a thought, the Nine Soul Saber already appeared in his right hand.
Pei Ling took a step forward, and the long saber tore through the air. In just a blink of an eye, he had already struck out thousands of saber attacks!
The blood-colored Saber Qi was like raging waves, instantly sweeping across the entire area, and the visible world was filled with dazzling blood-red light!
Swish swish swish swish swish…
The Mad Demon’s arms and body were instantly torn into countless pieces of flesh by the Saber Qi, falling from mid-air like a rain of blood and flesh.
The minced meat evenly covered the ground for several miles, but the chaotic and violent aura did not disappear at all.
The next moment, the minced meat on the ground began to squirm as if alive.
Soon, blood-red eyes grew on these pieces of minced meat. After all the eyes blinked, they all stared intently at Pei Ling.
In an instant, a bone-chilling coldness involuntarily rose in Pei Ling’s heart.
It wasn’t this single Mad Demon that was staring at him, but the one from the Eternal Night Desert!
The minced meat continuously squirmed and underwent Fusion, rapidly gathering from tiny fingernail-sized pieces of meat into slightly larger chunks… The aura of the meat chunks grew stronger and stronger!
Pei Ling did not hesitate at all. He grabbed Li Lieyue’s wrist: “Go!”
Then, he used the Five Ghost Sky Net Escape, taking Li Lieyue with him, and instantly disappeared without a trace from their original spot.
At this moment, the three Righteous Path Cultivators who were tailing them from afar also stopped, all with solemn expressions.
They had been following Pei Ling and Li Lieyue, but they hadn’t expected that before Ning Wuye arrived, a Mad Demon from the Eternal Night Desert would suddenly appear and cause trouble for the two of them.
However, the power of Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity was truly extraordinary!
The Mad Demon at the Soul Transformation Peak Realm didn’t even last a single breath in front of him before being completely annihilated!
Of course, Mad Demon were always Mad Demon. There would definitely be a gap between them and the heirs of the Nine Great Sects.
Currently, if they fought one-on-one, no one was Pei Ling’s opponent, but if they attacked him together, the outcome was uncertain…
“The Chongming Sect’s Five Ghost Sky Net Escape…”
“He might have discovered us. Should we continue to follow him now?”
“Follow him!”
“If we let him escape this time, we will never have another chance!”
Fu Xuanxu and Zhong Kui Yueji quickly discussed, while Yan Minghua looked at the direction Pei Ling had escaped, her delicate brows slightly furrowed. For some reason, the Saint of Chongming Sect’s aura gave her an indescribable sense of intimacy.
This was clearly a Devil Head who committed all sorts of evil and deserved death, and was naturally her enemy, whom she should eliminate quickly. What was going on with this situation?
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a sword light whistled from the sky. After the light dissipated, a figure as tall and straight as a green pine was revealed. Wearing a bamboo crown and straw sandals, with a refined green robe, long eyebrows and bright eyes, and a handsome and resolute appearance, as he stepped into the air, a similarly simple and unadorned long sword hovered around him, like a swimming fish or a leisurely crane, radiating chilling intent.
It was Ning Wuye who had arrived!
Seeing the Sword Son arrive in time, Fu Xuanxu and Zhong Kui Yueji’s expressions both brightened.
Yan Minghua also immediately regained her composure.
Ning Wuye looked around and asked, “Where is Pei Ling?”
Fu Xuanxu quickly replied, “Just ahead, prepare to make a move!”
Saying that, he escaped in the direction Pei Ling had left, and the other three immediately followed.
※ ※ ※
Ci Province.
The Demonic Sect’s main camp.
The entire camp was shrouded in a layer of ominous clouds and mist. From a distance, one could only see grey-black clouds and mist billowing, making it impossible to see the specific situation inside. Only a few large banners stood among them, towering above the clouds, fluttering ferociously.
Beneath the central banner, deep within the shrouding mist, in a half-hidden Glazed Tile Pagoda.
The deliberation hall.
The Grand F屠 Order, the Chongming Sect Master, and the Heavenly Born Sect Master were all sitting cross-legged, discussing matters.
At this moment, Su Lijing said indifferently, “Grand F屠 Order, rest assured. Although Wu Shi Villa has already retreated, since our Saint Sect has accepted your Reincarnation Tower’s remuneration, we have never had any intention of giving up halfway.”
“Gathering our forces this time is merely to adjust our strategy.”
“After all, Wu Shi Villa’s sudden departure means we must quickly send people to fill some of the key areas they left behind, so as not to give the Pseudo-Dao a chance to breathe.”
The Heavenly Born Sect Master also nodded slightly: “Our Heavenly Born Sect is the same! Grand F屠 Order, please be patient. How could we do something so disloyal?”
Remember to vote after reading!
Come back on the third and fourth night.
Chapter 988 Demon Sect Camp. (3rd update! Please subscribe!)
Grand F屠 Order's face was filled with gloom.
He glanced at Chongming Sect Master Su Lijing and the current Sect Master of Heavenly Born Sect, Ji Lu, and slowly said, "Since the Saint Sect and Saint Teach have no intention of retreating, then now, follow me to confront the Mountain Lord of Jiuyi Mountain, the City Lord of Yanxi City, and the Liulan Dynasty's Monarch."
"Furthermore, the entire Ci Province battlefield can be given to the Saint Sect and Saint Teach."
"The several resource points left behind after Wu Shi Villa's retreat will also be garrisoned by your two Sects."
"As for the specific distribution, the Saint Sect and Saint Teach can discuss it among yourselves."
"You can send people to take over now."
Upon hearing this, Su Lijing said indifferently, "The Pseudo-Dao is stubbornly resisting and inciting their Disciples to disregard their lives. In these past few days, the Saint Sect has suffered heavy losses, and even several direct descendants of the Nine A Li Clan, one of my Saint Sect's three great aristocratic families, have already died in battle!"
"The Li Clan, from top to bottom, has many questions for this Junior Brother."
"Later, this Junior Brother still needs to return to the Sect to deal with the reproaches of Old Ancestor Li and others."
"Confronting the Pseudo-Dao will definitely happen tomorrow!"
"However, since Elder Brother has spoken, this Junior Brother cannot completely disregard these matters."
"As for the resource points left by Wu Shi Villa, this Junior Brother can indeed immediately send people to take them over."
"It's just that Wu Shi Villa's retreat is not a secret, and currently, the Pseudo-Dao must also have reinforcements heading there to stop my Saint Sect's Disciples!"
"This trip will definitely incur casualties."
"I ask Grand F屠 Order to be considerate and quickly allocate Spirit Stones to reassure the Disciples."
"So that the younger generation can fight bravely on the front lines, slaughter the Pseudo-Dao from top to bottom as soon as possible, and enslave all races!"
Ji Lu followed closely, adding, "Since my son's demise, the position of Young Sect Master in the Saint Teach has been undecided."
"A few days ago, the True Disciple Ren Zhuolin finally overpowered the crowd and became the newly appointed Young Sect Master."
"It's just that due to the urgency of the war, there hasn't been time to hold a formal ceremony for him."
"As a result, such a talented individual, due to being unable to cultivate my Saint Teach's top Legacy, has limited cultivation and strength, unable to fully unleash the power of his Celestial Infant of Superior Grade."
"It was fine before, but now that Wu Shi Villa has withdrawn, our three families need to face the False Path Five Sects. If the Young Sect Master cannot quickly improve his strength, wouldn't it delay the war?"
"Therefore, this Junior Brother intends to temporarily lead people back to the Saint Teach's main altar to hold a ceremony for the new Young Sect Master."
"Once the Young Sect Master truly lives up to his name, he will immediately rush to assist Elder Brother!"
"Oh, and the Saint Teach's Cultivation Techniques can all be supplemented by the art of harvesting. The new Young Sect Master is young, and to allow him to quickly slaughter the world for the Reincarnation Tower, I ask Grand F屠 Order to bestow some Genius Cauldrons for him to stabilize his cultivation as soon as possible…"
Grand F屠 Order snorted coldly, then said directly, "If you want to withdraw, then withdraw, there's no need for such prevarication! Such betrayal requires you to repay tenfold the resources Reincarnation Tower previously provided!"
"This is where Reincarnation Tower is wrong." Ji Lu frowned slightly, "The Saint Teach has always kept its word. When have we ever gone back on our promises to Reincarnation Tower? Even this Junior Brother's own flesh and blood, the Saint Teach's former Young Sect Master, died on the battlefield because of this…"
"Elder Brother, why do you say such a thing?" Su Lijing also said, "My Saint Sect has no intention of retreating at all, why should we return the resources?"
***
Amidst the gloomy winds and chilling mist, the grand banner fluttered.
The grand Formation slowly operated, exuding a murderous, fierce, and tyrannical aura, with no trace of human presence.
Suddenly, two figures, one male and one female, appeared outside the Demonic Path's Ci Province main camp.
Li Lieyue's flowing skirt had not yet settled, but she had already raised her hand, immediately taking out a black token. After activating it, the grand Formation quickly opened an entrance.
Pei Ling, without a word, took her and transformed into a streak of light, plunging into the Formation.
After passing through the Formation, the clouds and mist that had obscured their vision instantly dissipated, revealing rows of eerie white bone houses, all covered with runes, Curses, bloody handprints, and skull ornaments… densely suspended in mid-air.
At this moment, the two of them were on a circular platform, the light of the Formation beneath their feet slowly extinguishing.
The Disciples guarding the platform, seeing the Saint and Saintess of Chongming Sect return, immediately bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Saint, Saintess!"
Li Lieyue ignored them, directly pulling Pei Ling and flying towards a certain direction.
She quickly transmitted her voice, saying, "Something was wrong just now. The Mad Demon from Eternal Night Desert rarely leave the range covered by the Nether Sky Mist. Even if they do, it's impossible for them to come this far."
"This is very likely some means secretly arranged by the Sect Master to deal with you."
"Let's go see Father first and report this matter to the Clan, letting the Clan investigate."
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling's expression stiffened slightly. Along the way just now, he and Li Lieyue had encountered over a dozen Mad Demon from Eternal Night Desert. The further they went, the more frequently the Mad Demon appeared!
Moreover, up until now, after trying various methods, not a single Mad Demon could truly be killed!
Currently, Senior Sister Li suspects this is the Sect Master's conspiracy, but in reality, he knows that this matter has nothing to do with Su Lijing…
Thinking of this, he replied with a somewhat guilty voice transmission, "Okay…"
Led by Li Lieyue, the two quickly arrived in front of a black palace.
This palace was majestic and grand, unadorned throughout, with only various alien statues standing in the plaza in front of its gate.
The statues were lifelike, as if a real Mad Demon had been forcibly solidified by some means, guarding this place for millions of years, with the resentment and malice within flowing out continuously as if substantial.
Looking up, a black plaque with golden characters hung high above the palace, bearing two words: "Jiu'a."
This was precisely Jiu'a Palace, the Magic Treasure used by the Li Clan Patriarch of the Nine A Li Clan for travel.
Jiu'a Palace was meticulously crafted by a Senior of the Li Clan. In addition to the most basic defense, transportation, and resting functions, it also contained numerous meeting halls equipped with anti-peeping Restrictions.
During the Immolation War, discussions among the high-ranking members of the Li Clan were all held here, making it the de facto command center of the Li Clan.
After detecting the two, the Cultivators guarding the gate and the Restrictions did not offer any obstruction. They immediately bowed respectfully and opened the tall gates one by one.
Pale bone flames ignited in pairs as they entered, illuminating the dim and confusing passageway.
Soon, the two saw Li Wujiu in front of a storeroom, personally tallying the gains.
He was dressed in luxurious robes and a golden crown, standing with his hands behind his back, watching several servants carefully move several light golden boxes into the storeroom.
"Father!" Upon seeing Li Wujiu, Pei Ling quickly bowed.
Li Lieyue, on the other hand, directly stepped forward and said, "Father, Junior Brother Pei and I were chased all the way back just now!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wujiu's expression immediately darkened. He instructed those around him, "Everyone, withdraw."
Before long, only Li Wujiu, Li Lieyue, and Pei Ling remained.
Li Wujiu then asked, "Was it Su Lijing?"
Li Lieyue shook her head slightly and said, "I can't be sure, the situation was like this…"
Chapter 989: Alien Attack. (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
Not long after Pei Ling entered the Demonic Path's Ci Province stronghold, ten Mad Demons suddenly appeared in the wilderness, which had originally been empty and devoid of any living beings.
Their eyes were blood-red, and their Auras were incomparably tyrannical as they charged directly towards the Demonic Path stronghold.
A torrent of violent attacks rained down, but the protective Formation, which the Demonic Path had spent immense manpower and resources to construct and was capable of withstanding the full assault of the Five Righteous Sects for a considerable period, remained completely unmoved.
Boom!!
The Formation stood firm, yet at the moment the Daoist Magic landed, an earth-shattering roar erupted.
The Demonic Cultivators stationed there reacted swiftly, flying out from their various dwellings.
With the Holy Path Four Sects all gathered here, anyone daring to attack the stronghold at this time must undoubtedly be from the Pseudo-Dao!
In an instant, several thousand Demonic Cultivators had already ascended into the air, looking around and shouting loudly, "Pseudo-Dao trash, come out and die!"
"The cycles of Reincarnation, the ebb and flow of creation! The False Path Five Sects protect mortal beings, leading to overpopulation, which the Pan Ya World can no longer bear. In this great war, you are destined to be annihilated! Any further struggle will be futile... Surrender yourselves quickly to avoid divine retribution!"
"Heaven gives birth to all things, but the Human Race is the most precious! The Pseudo-Dao's perverse actions will surely bring disaster... Immediately offer up your Sect's beautiful young men and women as Cauldrons for our Saintly Path, swear a Heart Demon oath to be slaves forever, and you may be spared death!"
Before their words had even finished, the many Demonic Cultivators standing in the air, looking down, discovered that those attacking the Formation were not the anticipated Pseudo-Dao, but those lowly Mad Demons.
The first few Demonic Cultivators who had ascended, ready to seize the first merit, were initially stunned, then sneered and flew directly out of the Formation.
The Demonic Path Four Sects all held the Human Race in highest regard. Even the Yao Race of Qingyao Mountain, with a Yao Emperor overseeing them, were merely better quality Materials in their eyes. As for these Mad Demons, in their eyes, there was no need for even a challenge before the Formation.
Boom, boom, boom...
Tens of thousands of Daoist Magic exploded almost simultaneously, and the dazzling light instantly engulfed the invading enemies.
In the blink of an eye, the ten Mad Demons were blasted into a layer of meat paste, evenly spread within a radius of several miles.
However, despite such a brutal end, even more severe than being torn to pieces, the Auras of these Mad Demons still had not dissipated, showing no signs of death.
Soon, from every inch of meat paste, blood-blurred, resentful eyes grew, and then they continuously aggregated, emitting an even more powerful Aura.
At the same time, a Cultivator in a flowing white robe suddenly appeared above the stronghold.
His appearance was slightly aged, yet one could still discern the handsome features of his youth, with clear brows and bright eyes. His white robe danced in the wind, and on his head was an ancient, faded golden ring. Although it differed from the golden rings worn by current Heavenly Born Sect Disciples, a careful examination would reveal that its craftsmanship was of a single Legacy.
This Cultivator appeared to be a pure Human Race from his outward appearance, but his Aura was violent, chaotic, and evil... identical to that of the Mad Demons from earlier.
Upon seeing this person, several high-ranking Demonic Cultivators in mid-air immediately exclaimed, "Old Ancestor Luan?!"
As they spoke, their hearts were filled with doubt and surprise. Luan Qiaoqing was one of the Heavenly Born Sect's Old Ancestors. He rose to fame in his youth, and during his True Legacy, his talent was fully displayed, sweeping aside his peers.
After entering a higher Realm, his strength became even more formidable, making him a renowned giant within the Holy Path.
However, his temperament was incredibly arrogant, and he was eventually trapped by the Pseudo-Dao and imprisoned in Due Abyss. There had been no news of him for a long time, so why was he here now?
Before everyone could fully grasp the situation, Luan Qiaoqing directly pressed down with his hand, and instantly, the entire stronghold went dark!
A massive Demonic Palm, as large as a mountain, enveloped the entire stronghold and smashed down with immense force.
The Demonic Palm was as black as ink, and within it, countless wailing souls seemed to scream, sharp and piercing, as if they could tear apart one's mind. Before it even landed, Cultivators with lower cultivation in the stronghold involuntarily covered their ears with their hands, letting out hysterical roars.
As it slowly descended, seemingly intending to level the entire Formation and the Demonic Path stronghold within it, an almost identical Demonic Palm emerged from deep within the stronghold, rising from below and firmly clashing with the descending Demonic Palm.
Boom!!
The terrifying impact instantly swept through the surroundings. The many Demonic Cultivators who had been standing in the air had no time to react and were violently thrown outwards by the invisible Qi, slamming heavily against the Formation wall and spitting out blood.
The Formation below rippled like water, completely neutralizing the immense impact.
The Demonic Sect Disciples within the Formation, seeing the unfavorable situation, immediately dispersed, seeking places to hide.
An Old Elder in a white robe with a golden crown, and a pale golden gem embedded in his glabella, stepped out, already appearing in mid-air, confronting Luan Qiaoqing from afar.
He observed the other party for a moment, then slightly cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Luan, since you have already left Due Abyss, why did you not inform the Sect?"
Luan Qiaoqing's eyes were blood-red, and he completely ignored the Elder's words, immediately continuing his assault on the stronghold's protective Daoist Magic Formation.
The Elder frowned and immediately moved to stop him.
Boom, boom, boom...
A great battle erupted between the two in an instant. The protective Formation trembled violently, and this entire world continuously shook. The terrifying Aura caused many Demonic Cultivators to flee, hiding deeper within the Formation like birds and beasts.
Above the firmament, wind, thunder, clouds, and lightning raged and ran wild, changing instantly multiple times, presenting a myriad of phenomena...

Ci Province Demonic Path Stronghold.
Glazed Tile Pagoda, Council Hall.
Grand F屠 Order sat impassively, awaiting the replies of Su Lijing and Ji Lu.
Su Lijing simply closed his eyes to rest, clearly indicating that he would not leave until he received his "compensation."
Ji Lu, on the other hand, casually pulled out a female Cultivator's head from his storage pouch and toyed with it. The female Cultivator's face was beautiful, her features delicate, and even though it was only a head, it still emitted a faint, sharp Aura, clearly indicating a special Physique. After decapitation, it had been specially treated to preserve its characteristics.
The three had been in a standoff for a long time.
It seemed this silent confrontation would continue.
At this moment, a huge sound suddenly came.
The three merely sensed it briefly, and seeing that it was not an attack from the Pseudo-Dao, they ignored it, continuing their standoff.
A moment later, another loud bang, accompanied by a slight tremor of the entire Glazed Tile Pagoda's protective Daoist Magic Formation, which neutralized the incoming impact.
Just like before, none of the three would budge. Realizing it wasn't the Pseudo-Dao attacking, none of them spoke, acting as if they hadn't noticed.
After all, this place was the Holy Path Four Sects' stronghold established in Jiuyi Mountain's Ci Province. Even though Wu Shi Villa had already withdrawn, the personnel from Reincarnation Tower, Chongming Sect, and Heavenly Born Sect were still gathered here.
Besides the three Sect Masters who were here for council, there were also many Grand Elders overseeing the area. Minor incidents would not affect them.
After another moment, a huge tremor came.
The three remained unmoved.
Thus, the time intervals became even shorter, and another huge commotion came from outside...
It wasn't until half an hour later that the three simultaneously frowned, all looking in one direction with puzzled expressions.

Chapter 990: Battle. (First update! Please subscribe!)
“Peak Dao Integration? Or Undergoing Tribulation?”
“This aura… it must be a Senior from the Holy Path, but I have no impression of them.”
“It seems to be a very high-ranking Senior…”
As they spoke, Su Lijing and Ji Lu both looked at Grand F屠 Order.
Grand F屠 Order frowned. He didn't know what was happening, but now, more and more powerful individuals were suddenly appearing at the main camp, especially the Senior who had just arrived. Even if their cultivation wasn't at Undergoing Tribulation, it couldn't be far off!
If they dragged this out any longer, something big might happen.
Thinking of this, Grand F屠 Order said in a deep voice, “First, let’s resolve the trouble outside, then we can discuss important matters.”
Su Lijing and Ji Lu exchanged a glance and both nodded slightly: “Good.”
Before their voices faded, the two had already vanished from the discussion hall.
Grand F屠 Order slowly stood up. As he fully straightened, he transformed into a streak of light and instantly soared out of the Glazed Tile Pagoda.
At this moment, the main camp, aside from some collapsed Magical Artifacts and shelters on the outermost perimeter, had not suffered much overall damage.
After all, the Holy Path Disciples were generally nimble, especially the Demonic Path Cultivators who had survived the past half-year of war. Each one was more agile than the last, and even those with low cultivation had hidden themselves thoroughly.
Grand F屠 Order's Divine Thought swept across the entire camp, confirming that there were no major issues, then he looked up beyond the protective Formation.
At this moment, more and more enemies were assaulting the artificially gathered dark clouds and miserable mist.
Aside from numerous Mad Demon, the most striking were a small group of Human Cultivators.
These Cultivators were almost all in tattered clothes with aged faces, yet their aura was exceptionally powerful, permeated with Chaos, ferocity, depravity, and malevolence, all originating from the Eternal Night Desert…
Several Grand Elders from the three Demonic Path Sects stationed here had already taken action, but the attacking side was utterly fearless of death, and the Demonic Sects were temporarily unable to gain the upper hand.
Seeing this situation, Grand F屠 Order frowned, immediately recognizing the identities of several Cultivators among them.
The one in flowing white robes with dim golden rings was Luan Qiaoqing, a former Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Born Sect; the one with a sorrowful expression and obscure gray robes was Luo Du, a Grand Elder from the Reincarnation Tower from many years ago; the one with torn brocade robes, whose attacks conjured howling soul winds, was Zuo Jingxing, a former Genius of the Chongming Sect. His seniority was extremely high; when he became a Grand Elder, the three clans currently leading the Chongming Sect had just begun to rise.
There was also a Human Cultivator, appearing middle-aged, with a resolute and heroic appearance that commanded respect without anger, and though his robes were worn, they did not conceal his former dignified and powerful demeanor. After seeing his face clearly, Grand F屠 Order's eyes narrowed slightly. This was a Pseudo-Dao person!
Yuan Changzhen, the former Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince of the Liulan Dynasty!
Among the Mad Demon, the most conspicuous great demon had obvious Azure Billow Bloodline, which quickly reminded Grand F屠 Order of a traitor from under the Azure Billow Mountain Demon Emperor back then…
His gaze swept around, and soon fell upon a gaunt, cold, and tyrannical-faced Cultivator.
This Cultivator had hawk-like eyes and wolf-like vigilance, and his body was surrounded by a tangible aura of bloody malevolence. His aura was incomparably strong and terrifying.
Grand F屠 Order's expression was solemn. This was precisely the Holy Path Senior who had just alarmed him, Su Lijing, and Ji Lu. This opponent's strength was the strongest among the invading enemies!
At this moment, a figure flickered, and a Reincarnation Tower Grand Elder appeared beside Grand F屠 Order, transmitting a somewhat uncertain message: “Grand F屠 Order, that person… seems to be Venerable Mielian?”
※ ※ ※
Jiu'a Palace.
A side hall with all protective measures against detection opened.
Li Wujiu, Li Lieyue, and Pei Ling had been here for some time.
At this moment, Li Lieyue had already described her recent experience in full.
Li Wujiu's expression was grim. Currently, the crazy people from Wu Shi Villa had been persuaded by Yanxi City with a few words and had withdrawn first, causing the pressure on the three Holy Path Sects to surge. Besides the Reincarnation Tower, the Chongming Sect and Heavenly Born Sect were already planning to retreat.
The False Path Five Sects were also well aware of this.
Therefore, in the short term, both sides would tacitly maintain restraint and end the war as quickly as possible.
Now, the Saint and Saintess from the Nine A Li Clan were inexplicably being hunted down, which must be related to the Sect Master!
However, without evidence, even if they brought it to the Netherblood Ancestor, the Sect Master would at most compensate with some Spirit Stones and that would be the end of it…
Just as his thoughts raced, a earth-shattering roar suddenly came from outside.
Li Wujiu immediately regained his composure, directly ignoring the commotion outside, and said to Li Lieyue and Pei Ling: “From now on, all your actions, both of you, will be with the Li Clan main force.”
“I want to see if the Sect Master dares to declare war directly on my Li Clan!”
Li Lieyue and Pei Ling both nodded: “Yes!”
Seeing this, Li Wujiu nodded slightly, just about to say something, when another violent sound came from outside, faintly mixed with the shouts and hurried footsteps of Holy Path Disciples.
At the same time, an aura of Chaos, ferocity, depravity, and malevolence permeated the entire camp.
Noticing this familiar aura, Pei Ling asked somewhat unnaturally, “It seems something has happened at the camp?”
Li Wujiu waved his hand grandly and said: “You don't need to worry! The Grand Elders from the Reincarnation Tower, Heavenly Born Sect, and my Saint Sect, all participating in the war, are currently stationed here. Furthermore, the leaders of the three sects are all discussing matters in the Glazed Tile Pagoda at this moment.”
“No matter what happens, it's not for you two juniors to worry about.”
“Alright, now you two go rest.”
“I still need to continue inventorying supplies and preparing for all matters related to the retreat.”
Li Lieyue and Pei Ling quickly stood up and bowed: “Yes, Father.”
Thus, Li Wujiu, with a thought, immediately summoned a Ghost Servants and ordered him to lead the two to a side hall for rest.
The two followed the Ghost Servants out of the side hall and walked along the long corridor towards the back. At this moment, they looked up and saw the earth-shattering battle outside the protective Formation.
Numerous high-level Cultivators stood in the air, each employing their methods, the light of their spells illuminating the entire world.
Wailing ghost cries filled the sky, countless blood shadows and specters flickered in and out of sight, and a vast sea of blood seemed about to engulf the great Ci Province…
Although the Formation constantly rippled, dispersing the immense impact, the ground of the camp still trembled slightly, and many Magical Artifact-level houses and pavilions groaned under the strain.
Within the camp, all low-level Cultivators were nowhere to be seen. Only by sweeping with their Divine Thought could the two perceive that they had all fled into hidden places, fully concealed, to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Watching this scene, Pei Ling's expression stiffened. The ones attacking the camp were all Mad Demon from the Eternal Night Desert and Devil Heads from the Due Abyss who had been swallowed by the Fallen Immortal Dream Realm!
These people were all sent by the Fallen Immortal's Chaos will to find him!
Chapter 991: Eternal Night Erosion. (Second update! Please subscribe!)
The Ghost Servants drifted along, leading Pei Ling and Li Lieyue forward.
The long corridor was winding and intricate. Although the protective Formation outside was battling fiercely, the Jiu'a Palace itself possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities and remained completely unaffected at the moment.
At this moment, a streak of light flashed in the distance. In a moment, Young F屠tu Commander, leading a large group of Disciples, flew before them, standing in the air, and nodded slightly to them.
Pei Ling and Li Lieyue both stopped and turned to look at Young F屠tu Commander.
Young F屠tu Commander cupped his hands towards the Heaven Gate and said loudly, "Holy Son Pei, Holy Maiden Li, is it convenient now?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling neither nodded nor shook his head, only calmly asked, "Young F屠tu Commander, what is the matter?"
Young F屠tu Commander said directly, "The Reincarnation of heaven's numbers, the ebb and flow of fortune. For the peace of this world, we must eliminate the Pseudo-Dao beings as soon as possible."
"The heads of the three sects are currently in a meeting, and it's unknown when it will end. I just received a report that a Pseudo-Dao secret stronghold, housing tens of thousands of common people, is located a certain distance to the northwest."
"There are also a considerable number of Loose Cultivators."
"Due to the intense battle, only a few Soul Transformation Elders of the Pseudo-Dao are stationed there."
"If the two of us join forces and go, we can completely wipe out the entire stronghold and return in time!"
After listening, Pei Ling immediately shook his head and said, "I need to Cultivate a Demonic Technique right now; I don't have the time."
Young F屠tu Commander frowned, about to continue persuading, when one of the Disciples behind him suddenly fell without warning.
The gazes of Young F屠tu Commander, Pei Ling, and Li Lieyue immediately turned to that Disciple.
They saw him hit the ground with a "bang," creating a shallow pit. Three powerful Divine Thoughts quickly swept over his body, and then, they quickly discovered that this Disciple seemed to be too tired and had suddenly fallen asleep.
Pei Ling was about to take Li Lieyue away when, at this moment, the Disciples behind Young F屠tu Commander began to fall one after another. In the blink of an eye, except for a few true Disciples, all other Disciples had fallen into deep sleep. No matter how the three of them probed with their Divine Thoughts, they could not detect any problems.
The three of them changed their expressions, realizing that something was wrong. Under normal circumstances, a Cultivator would not have any problems even if they didn't sleep for several months.
Now, if one Disciple suddenly fell into a deep sleep, it might be because he was too tired, but for all Disciples to do so, it clearly meant something had happened!
Pei Ling's Divine Thought immediately spread out into the distance, and he quickly discovered that it wasn't just the Disciples around Young F屠tu Commander who were experiencing this situation. Within the camp, Disciples below the Nascent Soul stage, except for a few true Disciples or those whose strength was close to true Disciples, began to fall into a deep sleep.
Pei Ling's expression turned solemn for a moment. He no longer cared about figuring out the reason and immediately said, "Let's go!"
With that, he grabbed Li Lieyue and directly bypassed Young F屠tu Commander, quickly moving forward.
At this moment, a sticky, dense, and substantial darkness suddenly emanated from the sleeping Disciples, quickly enveloping the surroundings.
Nether Sky Mist!
Pei Ling's expression changed, and he hurriedly led Li Lieyue to escape into mid-air.
Young F屠tu Commander's reaction was equally swift, and he also led a few true Disciples away from the sleeping Disciples.
However, the next moment, from within the Nether Sky Mist, a chaotic and murmuring whisper immediately came. These whispers were like tens of thousands of people simultaneously roaring and pleading. It was impossible to discern the specific content, but every whisper was filled with boundless chaos, madness, and degradation…
This was the eternal night whisper from the Eternal Night Desert!
Boom, boom, boom…
Without any hesitation, Li Lieyue and Young F屠tu Commander attacked simultaneously, instantly blasting the sleeping Disciples on the ground to death!
However, even though these Disciples were torn into pieces, their aura did not disappear. On their bloody, disfigured corpses, bloody eyes quickly grew out.
As all the eyes blinked, they collectively looked towards Pei Ling.
At the same time, the aura of the corpses grew stronger and stronger, quickly surpassing the cultivation aura of these Disciples themselves.
Pei Ling frowned. These Disciples had been corrupted by the power of the Fallen Immortal and had become one of those Fallen Devils!
At present, they could not be killed, and their strength would only grow stronger.
This was the Demonic Sect's main base. The Evil Slaying Banner could not be released, and he had no means of restraint for a time.
Furthermore, the combat power sent by the Fallen Immortal faction was becoming increasingly terrifying. If he hadn't rushed back to the main base in time just now, truly encountering an existence from the Due Abyss's "Tian" Zone, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
He had to find an opportunity immediately to separate an Incarnation and ask the Fallen… True Immortal Will how to deal with these undead creatures!
Thinking of this, Pei Ling grabbed Li Lieyue's wrist and immediately used the Five Ghost Sky Net Escape, directly escaping in one direction.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…
Outside the great Formation, the Grand Elders were battling the Fallen Devils from the Eternal Night Desert, causing space to shatter, phenomena to become bizarre, and flesh and blood to burst like rain…
And within the great Formation…
The eternal night whisper grew louder and louder. At first, it was only in scattered places, but soon, as the number of sleeping Disciples increased, small patches of Nether Sky Mist began to merge and spread further.
The sleeping Disciples stood up one by one, their auras rapidly strengthening. Immediately after, heads, arms, legs, and eyes grew out of them… As they wildly mutated, they all pursued Pei Ling in increasingly grotesque ways.
※※※
Behind Jiu'a Palace.
Pei Ling led Li Lieyue into a quiet room.
This quiet room was originally used for resting, elegantly furnished, with a bouquet of spiritual flowers in a vase. It was empty at the moment.
Pei Ling casually kicked away the small table in the center and immediately said, "Senior Sister Li, help me as a Protector!"
With that, he quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, dark red patterns appearing around his body, rapidly surging.
Li Lieyue nodded, saying nothing, and stood guard to the side with her sleeves folded.
All the dark red patterns surged towards Pei Ling's back. Soon, a substantial mass of darkness appeared. After the darkness wriggled for a while, a beautiful, delicate female Cultivator slowly emerged. In a moment, she stepped forward, and the original darkness immediately transformed into a large black robe, draped over her shoulders.
Mo Li Lan slowly turned her head, her pure white eyes emitting a strange, gloomy, and fierce aura.
At the same time, Pei Ling's aura plummeted, and his strength dropped significantly out of thin air.
Seeing this, Li Lieyue immediately knew that this was Junior Brother Pei's Incarnation, but why was this Incarnation…
Just as she was thinking, her expression suddenly froze. This Incarnation had an independent will!
At this moment, Pei Ling quickly asked, "Immortal Friend Mo…"
Boom!!!
With a violent roar, the wall of the quiet room was directly blasted through, and several Demonic Sect Disciples with three or four heads and seven or eight arms stepped into the quiet room.
Remember to vote after reading!
Come back on the third and fourth night.
Chapter 992 Two Paths. (Third update! Please subscribe!)
Li Lieyue snorted coldly. As the wind chimes tinkled, the Crossing Tribulation Soul Suppression Bell had already fallen into her grasp. The thumb-sized skulls opened their lower jaws, letting out silent, mad laughter, and, carrying pure black flames, charged towards those few Disciples.
At the same time, Mo Li Lan’s expression suddenly changed, and she tightly clutched her head.
Before Pei Ling could speak again, she quickly sent a message: “Don’t stay in one place for too long! Otherwise, the entire area you are in will be swallowed into the Eternal Night Desert, and then, you will directly face my True Immortal Will!”
“Quickly prepare Law power for me!”
“The stronger the Chaos Will of my True Immortal Will, the weaker I become.”
“If too much time passes, even if I can cast the 【Nether Sky Great Dream】 again, I won’t be able to control the True Immortal Will’s Immortal Dream!”
“If there’s no Law power, Immortal power is even better!”
“Before I receive a large amount of Law power or Immortal power, don’t separate me again… Chaos… Will… will… devour… me…”
Seeing Mo Li Lan’s expression become increasingly pained, even her words becoming intermittent, Pei Ling immediately frowned and quickly asked: “Is there any way to deal with these Undying Fallen Devils?”
Mo Li Lan spoke with difficulty: “Law, Law power… and that flag of yours!”
Pei Ling immediately nodded and said: “Thank you!”
With that, he extended his hand and grasped Mo Li Lan’s palm. Palm to palm, Mo Li Lan transformed back into countless dark red patterns and merged into his body.
As the Incarnation was withdrawn, Li Lieyue had just finished off those few Disciples.
Pei Ling stood up and looked at the corpses of those Disciples, only to see eyes quickly emerging from the ashes, which had been ground into dust, staring straight at him.
He immediately used the Five Ghost Sky Net Escape and directly left with Li Lieyue.
***
A charred low hill.
Between the remaining grey-black thorns stood four figures, all with pure Auras and righteous expressions.
It was Fu Xuanxu and the other three.
At this moment, they were using a spell to conceal their tracks, all frowning as they gazed at the gloomy clouds and mist in the distance.
That mass of clouds and mist covered an extremely vast area, filling the entire sky. The bottom of the large banner was completely hidden within the cloud-shrouded mountains and misty sea, appearing to float in mid-air, standing solemnly.
Even before getting close, one could feel the strong malice, Curses, and resentment emanating from within…
Pei Ling’s escape speed was too fast. They had been following closely just now but were always unable to catch up to him. Now, this Demonic Son of the Chongming Sect had already entered the Demonic Path camp, and the opportunity to ambush him this time was completely lost.
Ning Wuye’s voice was muffled as he sent a message: “Senior Brother Fu, Brother Zhong Kui, Junior Sister Yan, I’m truly sorry this time.”
“If I hadn’t delayed, I would have definitely been able to intercept him by the Ji River.”
The other three, hearing this, immediately recovered and comforted him, saying: “It’s fine, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future to slay this Devil Head.”
“Exactly! This Demonic Son of the Chongming Sect is arrogant and overbearing. We will wait patiently and sooner or later cut him down with our swords.”
“This fellow acts against the natural order, and even has a grudge with the Chongming Sect Master over his wife. Even if we couldn’t ambush him today, he probably won’t have a good end when he returns to the camp…”
As they were speaking, indistinct shadows suddenly appeared above the gloomy clouds and mist.
Immediately, these shadows began to attack, furiously assailing the camp’s protective Formation.
The four immediately showed surprise. Following that, as they expected, several Demonic Cultivators soon flew out from within the Formation. Amidst surging rivers of blood, howling soul winds, and bone forests, they instantly obliterated numerous strange-looking foreign creatures.
But very quickly, a white-robed figure appeared. Its Aura was incredibly powerful, clearly a Dao Integration Stage Cultivator! A huge Demonic palm pressed down decisively, its Aura so vast it seemed capable of crushing the entire Demonic Path camp into dust.
From within the camp, a Grand Elder soon emerged to meet the challenge.
Subsequently, more and more Cultivators and foreign creatures came to attack the protective Formation, and the Demonic Path side also continuously sent out Cultivators to intercept them.
The great battle instantly entered a heated state. Spells crisscrossed the sky, Divine Abilities soared, and immense Impact constantly radiated outwards. Even though the low hill chosen by the four was a considerable distance from the Demonic Path camp, they could still feel the violent Aura of the battlefield.
The four observed for a while and quickly realized: A good opportunity!
Although they didn't know exactly what was happening on the Demonic Path side, if their Five Sects attacked now…
Thinking of this, Fu Xuanxu immediately said: “Contact the Sect!”
The other three nodded in unison, simultaneously taking out their sound transmission talismans for contacting their Sects.
“Master, the Demonic Path’s main camp in Ci Province is under attack. The Demonic Path cannot immediately repel the invaders. We can quickly send out troops!”
“Reporting to Sect Leader, the Demonic Path is under attack. It’s perfect for our Five Sects to act and drive them out of the territory in one go!”
“Sect Master, something has happened at the Demonic Path’s main camp in Ci Province. Our Sect can attack at leisure!”
As soon as the four finished contacting their Sects, they immediately saw an inconspicuous streak of light, as fast as a meteor, escape from the Demonic Path’s main camp. Its figure was none other than Pei Ling!
They were immediately invigorated. Fu Xuanxu quickly said: “Follow him!”
Before his words faded, the four had already used their respective escape techniques and pursued Pei Ling.
***
At this moment, Pei Ling had already escaped the Formation with Li Lieyue.
Without the obstruction of the Formation, the smell of char, the Aura of spells, the Aura of blood evil… immediately surged forth.
He used the Five Ghost Sky Net Escape, avoiding the residual combat waves from the beings in the high sky, and quickly fled into the distance.
Li Lieyue suddenly asked: “Why leave the Formation?”
Pei Ling transmitted his reply: “Those things from the Eternal Night Desert are looking for me. If I continue to stay in the camp, those things will never be completely killed.”
“So what?” Li Lieyue said without thinking, “It doesn’t matter how many ordinary Disciples die, but how can Junior Brother Pei be in trouble?”
“Besides, hiding within the Formation, with the protection of many Grand Elders and the Sect Master, and the Formation’s defense, is safer than leaving.”
Pei Ling shook his head slightly and transmitted: “It’s not that simple.”
He had, of course, seen the Grand Elders’ actions.
However, according to the True Immortal Will, if he continued to stay in the camp, the entire camp would be swallowed into the Eternal Night Desert!
If it were before, the Eternal Night Desert would absolutely not have been able to achieve this.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so well-behaved for so many years.
It was obvious that this must be related to the Nether Sky Great Dream from Due Abyss last time.
The being in the Eternal Night Desert was very likely on the verge of awakening now!
Currently, Pei Ling had two paths to take. The first was to go to the eerie private school in Che Prefecture, which was an “eerie” entity he already controlled. As long as he used the Eclipse Sun Secret Record to transform into the Headmaster, all the rules within it could be used by him.
Yes, within the private school, there was the Law power that Mo Li Lan needed.
The second was to rush back to the Sect and ask Netherblood Ancestor for help.
Chapter 993: One versus Four. (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
“If I let the True Immortal Will use the Nether Sky Grand Dream one more time, perhaps my current crisis could be quickly resolved, but her main body might truly awaken!”
“The reason she’s been helping me is because I can help her awaken her main body, but once her main body truly wakes up…”,
“The first one she’ll deal with will definitely be me!”
“How could an Immortal tolerate her own will serving as an Incarnation for a Cultivator?”
“Conversely, only if I remain valuable to her will she continue to help me!”
Thinking of this, Pei Ling quickly made a decision. Returning to the Sect was the safest option for now. Going to the “Weird” private school in Che Prefecture would be a dead end.
So, he immediately sent a voice transmission, asking, “Senior Sister Li, are there any teleportation arrays in Ci Province that lead back to the Sect?”
The three clans of Chongming Sect were deeply rooted, with many arrangements throughout the world.
Back when he was in the Liulan Dynasty, Li Wumei had used a hidden teleportation array within the Imperial Dynasty to take him out of its territory.
Although Jiuyi Mountain was currently under the Righteous Path’s control, the Li Clan likely had similar arrangements.
If such a teleportation array existed, Senior Sister Li, as the direct daughter of the current Nine A Li Clan head, would surely know its location.
If not, he would immediately tell Senior Sister Li to escape in the opposite direction from him, to avoid being affected by him later…
Upon hearing this, Li Lieyue immediately nodded and said, “There isn’t a direct teleportation array back to the Sect, but there are teleportation arrays that can take us out of the Jiuyi Mountain territory.”
She then added, “After several transfers, we can still return to the Sect!”
Pei Ling’s heart swelled with joy, and he immediately replied, “Good! Where is it?”
Just as Li Lieyue was about to answer, a chillingly sharp Sword Qi suddenly tore through the air, slashing down towards them!
The Sword Qi surged like a Dragon, its edge pressing, incomparably sharp!
Pei Ling frowned and immediately shot out a blood-colored Saber Qi.
Clang!
The Saber Qi hummed, instantly shattering the Sword Qi, its momentum undiminished as it continued to strike towards the distance.
The next moment, Pei Ling suddenly felt his whole body sink, as if countless towering mountains were pressing down on his shoulders.
His speed plummeted!
At the same time, a giant silk umbrella, with a light pink base and a pattern of spring water and branches under the moon, appeared, instantly covering this part of the sky.
The moment the giant umbrella appeared, this area of heaven and earth was completely sealed off. Neither voice transmissions nor Divine Thought, nor any other means, could communicate with the outside world.
Immediately after, a jade seal as large as a mountain soared and tumbled in mid-air, smashing down towards Pei Ling!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Before the jade seal even reached him, the strong winds it brought were already upon him, cutting like knives.
Seeing this, Pei Ling immediately stopped his movement.
Boom!!!
He stood in the air, his body unmoving, and caught the mountain-sized jade seal with a single hand.
Just then, the Void Realm in front of them rippled, and four figures quickly emerged.
The leader, with clear features, loose robes, and a Wooden Ruyi in hand, nodded slightly to Pei Ling: “Fu Xuanxu of Jiuyi Mountain, here to seek guidance from the Saint of Chongming Sect.”
Beside him, the one in imperial robes and a golden crown said coldly, “Zhong Kui Yueji of the Liulan Imperial Dynasty, please enlighten me!”
The young Cultivator in a green robe with a sword on his back, his eyes like lightning, said in a deep voice, “Ning Wuye of Han An Sword Sect, please enlighten me!”
Finally, a charming female Cultivator in luxurious attire, with tinkling jade pendants, said, “Yan Minghua of Su Zhen Heaven, please enlighten me!”
Upon hearing this, Li Lieyue sneered, and the Crossing Tribulation Soul Suppression Bell immediately appeared in her hand.
At the same time, Pei Ling calmly said, “This Saint is busy right now. If the four of you retreat immediately, I can pretend nothing happened.”
“Otherwise, don’t blame my saber for being merciless.”
With that, an incomparably powerful Aura suddenly erupted from his body.
Soul Transformation Late Stage?!
The four people’s expressions changed drastically.
Earlier, to prevent the Saint and Saintess of Chongming Sect from detecting their presence, they had only followed from a distance, constantly suppressing their Qi. Even when witnessing Pei Ling’s actions, they hadn't released their perception to probe his strength, thus not knowing that Pei Ling was not at the Soul Transformation Early Stage, but at the Soul Transformation Late Stage!
Pei Ling expelled a burst of force from his palm, effortlessly sending the giant jade seal flying.
The mountain-sized jade seal immediately became like a falling meteor, uncontrollably smashing into the distance.
Zhong Kui Yueji reacted quickly, continuously forming hand seals, but no matter what methods he used, his Lifebound Treasure, under the immense power, could not be recalled for a moment.
At this moment, Pei Ling directly struck down with a palm.
A handprint filled with blood Qi continuously expanded in the air, falling directly towards the four people.
This handprint possessed formidable power and a fierce Aura, yet it was not any kind of spell or Divine Ability, but purely a display of cultivation strength!
The four immediately felt an incredibly terrifying pressure descend. In an instant, their hearts trembled violently; this didn't seem like a Soul Transformation Cultivator making a move!
They were clearly facing a Void Realm expert!
Fu Xuanxu quickly collected himself and immediately took out a scroll. The scroll immediately flew into mid-air and quickly unfurled.
As the scroll opened, scenes of magnificent rivers and mountains appeared before everyone.
The mountains, rivers, and vegetation were either exquisitely serene, or majestic and vast, or strangely perilous… A grand natural Aura assailed them.
Fu Xuanxu performed a hand seal, and the mountains and rivers in the painting immediately flew out of the scroll, meeting Pei Ling’s palm strike.
Boom boom boom boom boom…
Towering and majestic mountains collapsed one after another, vast and unrestrained rivers vanished one by one, and expansive and boundless lakes disappeared little by little…
When the last great mountain in the painting completely vanished, Pei Ling’s palm strike was also completely neutralized.
Pei Ling was slightly surprised. He had originally thought that this palm strike of his would knock all four of them out of the air, but he hadn't expected Fu Xuanxu to take this palm strike alone.
He had underestimated the heritage of the Nine Great Sects’ successors a bit too much!
At this moment, sword cries tore through the sky, and an overwhelming surge of sword light came crashing down.
Li Lieyue hooked the Crossing Tribulation Soul Suppression Bell, and shadowy Soul Servants immediately appeared beside her. Azure blue butterflies fluttered gracefully, sinister winds rose all around, demonic clouds condensed, and the temperature in mid-air rapidly dropped, as if instantly falling into purgatory.
Hehe… hee… hehehe…
Unidentifiable snickering drifted back and forth, and countless inky eyes, accompanied by smoky skirts, rapidly materialized densely.
Seeing this, Pei Ling immediately sent a voice transmission: “Senior Sister Li, I can handle this alone.”
Saying that, he reached out and grabbed, and a giant golden palm appeared out of thin air, instantly gathering all the Sword Qi into its palm, and then, with a slight squeeze, crushed all the Sword Qi!
“Capturing Heaven Hand?!”
The four Righteous Path members were immediately startled. Why would the Saint of Chongming Sect use the Divine Ability of the Liulan Imperial Dynasty?
But just as they were momentarily lost in thought, they suddenly collectively forgot something. The techniques they were performing all stopped, and they looked at each other, bewildered. Why had they come to find Pei Ling this time?
“Let’s go!” Pei Ling said, grabbing Li Lieyue’s wrist, preparing to leave directly.
But before the Five Ghost Sky Net Escape could be cast, the sky suddenly darkened!
A huge Rift was torn directly into the surface of the light pink giant umbrella, and a terrifying bloody hand, dripping with flesh and seemingly condensed with endless Curses, forcibly inserted itself into the umbrella surface, grabbing down towards everyone!
Just looking at this bloody hand was enough to cause the minds of all Cultivators present, except for Pei Ling, to waver, and an uncontrollable feeling of powerlessness arose in their hearts.
Dao Integration Aura!
This was an existence from the “Tian” Zone of Due Abyss!
Pei Ling immediately took out the Evil Slaying Banner without any hesitation!

Chapter 994 【Evil Punishment Flag】. (First update! Please subscribe!)
The blood-colored banner fluttered in the wind.
The moment the Evil Subjugation Banner's Flag Spirit appeared, without Pei Ling needing to activate it, the mystic runes seemed to come alive, rapidly moving and instantly devouring the blood-red hands into the banner's surface just as they were about to land on everyone.
The next moment, an old man in a tattered brocade robe appeared in mid-air, his face aged, his eyes completely bloodshot; it was Zuo Jingxing!
He stretched out his right hand, then flipped it downwards, and immediately, torrents of blood rain poured down from the sky.
The surging blood rain beat against the light pink umbrella surface. Under the umbrella, Yan Minghua's face instantly paled, and she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. At the same time, with a thought, her silk umbrella rapidly shrunk, and two finger-snaps later, it fell into her hand like an ordinary umbrella.
At this point, the blood rain grew heavier and heavier, turning into a downpour. The sky, the ground, and even the entire world transformed into an seemingly boundless expanse of blood-red.
The Flag Spirit of the Evil Subjugation Banner snorted coldly. Without anyone activating her at the moment, the power she could exert was very limited, but dealing with a Devil Head from the "Tian" Zone with monstrous crimes was still no problem!
The Flag Spirit stood in the air, then flicked her narrow sleeve. Like a long whale sucking water, she instantly absorbed all the blood rain, and clarity returned to the world.
Seeing how unexpectedly useful the Evil Subjugation Banner was, Pei Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Protect me!"
With that, he wrapped his arm around Li Lieyue and activated the Five Ghost Sky Net Escape, quickly fleeing into the distance.
Just as the Flag Spirit was about to follow, Zuo Jingxing's outstretched right hand flipped upwards again. Instantly, gloomy winds rose in the sky, and countless shadowy evil spirits emerged, wielding blood-red sabers, spears, swords, and halberds. Their malice solidified into a tangible form, and densely packed resentful eyes scanned the surroundings, as if intending to slaughter all living beings in this world.
Evil Exterminator did not hesitate in the slightest. The banner surface rolled up, immediately raising a strong wind that swept the four Righteous Path cultivators and the distant Jade Seal Magic Treasure into it, then directly carried them to chase after Pei Ling.
Clang, clang, clang...
Countless sabers, spears, swords, and halberds struck the strong wind unleashed by the Evil Subjugation Banner, producing sounds of metal clashing, but causing no damage whatsoever.
It was only at this moment that the four Righteous Path cultivators realized what had happened.
It was the Evil Subjugation Banner!
Why was the Magic Treasure guarding Due Abyss in the hands of the Saint of Chongming Sect?
The four of them exchanged glances, their faces filled with shock and uncertainty.
“From here, go straight for a hundred li, then turn right and then left. There will be a large mountain; go to the depths of that mountain!”
While fleeing, Li Lieyue quickly transmitted her voice, "Our Human Race has several teleportation arrays on Jiuyi Mountain, but if we want to return to the Sect, this one is the first choice."
She had many questions she wanted to ask Pei Ling now, but escaping was the priority, so she couldn't worry about that much.
Pei Ling immediately changed direction and flew towards the location Li Lieyue had described.
But he hadn't flown far when a gigantic arm, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, suddenly appeared, enveloped in chaotic and tyrannical Qi, and roared as it slammed down towards Pei Ling.
The skin color of the knuckles on this arm was not of the Human Race, yet it was not constructed from spells or Divine Ability, but purely a Physical Body!
Its momentum was immense, and its overwhelming power seemed unstoppable.
Pei Ling's expression remained unchanged. While fleeing, he quickly made a turn, avoiding the giant arm's swing, but immediately after, another huge palm descended towards him like swatting a fly.
Boom, boom, boom...
In an instant, gigantic fists and feet rained down, creating huge deep pits in the ground.
As dust scattered, underground springs gushed out, and cracks extended in all directions.
In the dust, a towering figure, seemingly capable of supporting the heavens and earth, appeared. With every step he took, the entire earth trembled slightly.
This was a Long Bo of the Void Return Realm!
Pei Ling had no intention of entangling with the opponent. After avoiding all of the Long Bo's attacks using the Five Ghost Sky Net Escape, he continued to flee into the distance.
The Long Bo let out a roar that shattered the clouds, then immediately took a step and chased after Pei Ling.
Just at this moment, the Evil Subjugation Banner arrived. The banner surface fluttered, and a fierce wind suddenly arose from the ground, directly sending the Long Bo flying.
Boom!!
The Long Bo crashed heavily onto a nearby mountain peak. The mountain, which had stood for an unknown number of years, instantly collapsed, and countless plants, trees, mud, and rocks tumbled down into the deep ravine with a "whoosh." Countless birds and beasts shrieked and roared in panic, the earth trembled violently, and the flowing water beneath the mountain seemed to be boiling, constantly bubbling with huge bubbles. Innumerable aquatic creatures were startled, leaping out of the water one after another.
The Evil Subjugation Banner caught up to Pei Ling, then with a sweep of the strong wind, it also enveloped Pei Ling and Li Lieyue within it.
For a time, Pei Ling, Li Lieyue, Fu Xuanxu, Zhong Kui Yueji, Ning Wuye, and Yan Minghua, six people in total, were all enveloped by the strong wind and rapidly fled with the Evil Subjugation Banner.
The six of them exchanged glances, all frowning deeply.
At this moment, Evil Exterminator transmitted a question: "Where do you want to go?"
Pei Ling quickly replied, "Go straight for about a hundred li, then turn right and then left, there will be a large mountain. Go to the depths of the mountain!"
The Evil Subjugation Banner immediately fled in the direction he indicated.
But immediately after, the sky and earth were rapidly dyed a tragic blood-red—Zuo Jingxing had caught up!
Tens of thousands of terrifying, bloody hands, fleshy and indistinct, descended from the sky and surged from the earth, reaching out to grab the Evil Subjugation Banner.
The Flag Spirit snorted coldly. The blood-colored banner surface fluttered, and then, centered around her, countless tornadoes spontaneously arose, instantly spreading throughout this entire world.
Between the sky and the earth, countless hurricane pillars seemed to appear, varying in thickness, surging endlessly. Wherever they passed, the bloody hands and blood-red color were instantly swept away!
The original sky gradually revealed itself, the bloody hands disappeared, and after rapidly sweeping this world, all the tornadoes converged into one, connecting the sky above and reaching the earth below, vast and mighty, roaring like thunder, and sweeping towards Zuo Jingxing.
Zuo Jingxing stood in the air, witnessing this scene. He severed one of his fingers, then flicked his remaining fingers, sending the severed finger towards the tornado.
Mid-flight, the severed finger transformed into a boundless and endless ocean of blood, surging and roaring, crashing towards the tornado.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The tornado quickly absorbed the blood sea, transforming into a blood pillar that reached from heaven to earth. However, the blood sea was too vast, and the waterspout situation did not last long before the wind pillar had exhausted its power and slowly dissipated.
The vast blood sea began to fall, crashing towards the Evil Subjugation Banner.
The blood-colored banner surface fluttered, generating gusts of strong wind that swept the remaining blood sea far away.
However, in just this brief delay, various foreign races immediately appeared in the air.
Zuo Jingxing stared blankly at Pei Ling, who was being carried away by the Evil Subjugation Banner, and pointed his severed finger at him from afar.
Pei Ling's hair instantly stood on end, as if some immense threat had descended from the netherworld!
Chapter 995: Tacit Understanding. (Second update! Please subscribe!)
A gigantic blood-red skull appeared without warning beside the Evil Subjugation Banner, then opened its hideous maw, as if to swallow everyone, including the Evil Subjugation Banner, in one gulp!
The Evil Subjugation Banner's surface fluttered, and a black wind blade materialized out of thin air. With a flash of its edge, it swiftly sliced the blood-red head into two halves!
The two halves of the blood-red head immediately transformed into two terrifying blood beasts, roaring skyward before continuing to pounce towards Pei Ling.
A bloody aura permeated the air, and a sweet, cloying scent filled this entire world.
The blood-red flag surface fluttered slightly again, and dense black wind blades emerged, instantly slicing the two blood beasts into fragments.
The scattered fragments continuously writhed, as if still trying to change, but then, the flag surface rippled like water, instantly devouring them completely!
Boom, boom, boom…
At the same time, numerous spells, Divine Abilities, Curses… fell upon the Evil Subjugation Banner like a sudden downpour.
The blood-red flag surface continuously unfurled, sweeping away all attacks.
Immediately after, above the sky, the Void Realm fluctuated violently.
Soon, another burly and tall figure appeared. As soon as he stepped out of the space, he flicked his sleeve, and in an instant, emerald green poisonous mist permeated the entire area.
This was another Dao Integration expert!
And more Fallen Devil from the horizon surged forth, yet to arrive close, they had already launched their attacks, various spells and Divine Abilities weaving like threads.
Seeing more and more Eternal Night Fallen Devil pursuing him, Pei Ling quickly sent a voice transmission: “Don’t get entangled with them, just escape in the direction I tell you!”
The Flag Spirit snorted coldly and replied via voice transmission: “Without dealing with these two Dao Integration experts, we won’t be able to leave!”
As he spoke, the flag surface fluttered violently, and the six individuals caught by the strong wind were suddenly pushed by a powerful force, flying into the distance, leaving this area in an instant.
The two Dao Integration Devil Heads and numerous Fallen Devil had no intention of continuing to attack the Evil Subjugation Banner; they all swiftly pursued Pei Ling.
At this moment, the Evil Subjugation Banner conjured a gigantic tornado, like a pillar supporting the heavens, sucking all the Fallen Devil into it and grinding them into dust.
The path of the two Dao Integration Devil Heads was also blocked. They immediately attacked, blasting towards the tornado pillar!
Boom, boom, boom…
For a time, the world changed color, sand, gale-force winds, fist shadows… crisscrossed the entire area.
***
As they flew like lightning, the sounds of battle quickly faded into the distance. Soft clouds streamed past them, and the surrounding scenery flashed by in an instant.
Within the strong wind, the six figures were uncontrollable, flying like meteors in one direction.
Suddenly, a towering stone wall rose out of thin air ahead, higher than the clouds, its ends invisible to the left and right, like a natural chasm, blocking the path of the strong wind.
Boom!!!
The strong wind roared as it broke through the stone wall. Amidst the spreading dust, they continued to fly forward.
However, their momentum was hindered, and after only flying a short distance, the wind dissipated.
The six immediately activated their escape techniques and stood in the air.
Given the sudden situation, Fu Xuanxu and the other three did not continue to attack Pei Ling; they merely watched him warily.
At the same time, Pei Ling’s expression was grim. The aura of that stone wall just now did not seem like it came from a Mad Demon in the Eternal Night Desert!
As he was thinking, a large number of Mad Demon appeared out of thin air, surrounding the six individuals layer by layer.
One Jiao-person Mad Demon had a beautiful and charming face, but below her waist, she dragged five or six fish tails, and on her shoulders, she had more than a dozen arms.
The other Mad Demon were in similar situations, all distorted into bizarre shapes, causing discomfort at first glance.
The aura of these Mad Demon was violent and chaotic, identical to that of the Eternal Night Desert.
Their cultivation levels varied from Nascent Soul to Soul Transformation, with the leading Jiao-person being at the Peak of Soul Transformation, and the others being numerous and uneven.
After they appeared, they immediately looked at Pei Ling, then without hesitation, a blue-black current rose behind the Jiao-person. Amidst gurgling water sounds, it transformed into surging waves, sweeping towards Pei Ling.
At the same time, dark arrows, pink fox fire, ethereal Curses, palm strikes, and punches…
Various spells, Divine Abilities, and other attacks, overwhelmingly blasted towards Pei Ling and the other five.
The Void Realm continuously trembled, and brilliant light illuminated this part of the world.
Seeing this, the six for a moment put aside their grudges and immediately launched their attacks.
Fu Xuanxu’s Wooden Ruyi leaped up and floated in mid-air. As his hand seals changed, layers of mountains emerged, smashing down upon the Mad Demon in front of him.
With a flash of sword light, Ning Wuye’s Flying Sword had already unsheathed from his back. Its cold light crisscrossed, and his Sword Intent was vast, instantly destroying all spells and Divine Abilities that attacked him. Its momentum undiminished, it continued to slash towards the Mad Demon in front of him.
Zhong Kui Yueji conjured his Natal Jade Seal, majestic as a mountain, suspended high in the air, stabilizing all attacks directed at him.
Then, he struck out with a palm, and a golden palm print erupted!
Like a delicate flower blooming, Yan Minghua stood gracefully, unfurling a light pink silk umbrella. Instantly, one identical silk umbrella after another appeared in the air, standing tall like canopies. The flowers painted on the umbrella surfaces swayed, and spring water gradually flowed. Amidst a bright spring scene, all attacks that fell were instantly deflected and scattered.
Yan Minghua immediately cast a spell, and the umbrella shadows instantly transformed into various absorbed spells and Divine Abilities, blasting towards the Mad Demon.
These spells and Divine Abilities, both in their aura and the power they displayed, were far stronger than the spells originally cast by the Mad Demon.
Li Lieyue shook the Crossing Tribulation Soul Suppression Bell, and her figure instantly became incredibly ethereal, just a faint silhouette, as if she could completely fade away and disappear from this world at any moment.
All attacks passed through her body without causing her any harm. At the same time, countless Soul Servants appeared, with ink-black eyes and smoky skirts. After a fleeting appearance, they vanished into the Void Realm.
When they reappeared, they were already behind the Mad Demon, beginning to forcibly possess them…
Pei Ling held the Nine Soul Saber and simply slashed out with a single strike. Boom!!
The violent Saber Qi seemed to split the entire world, forcibly tearing open a line, revealing the azure sky.
The rapidly slashing saber light was like overturning the Heavenly River. The blood-red Saber Qi surged unrestrainedly, sweeping forward with an unstoppable momentum.
At the same time, yin winds rose, and countless hazy soul bodies quietly emerged. Reflected by the blood light, they shrieked as they flew and leaped, interweaving to instantly pull out a gigantic net, covering this entire world in an instant!
Yin Xia Kong Ming Slash!
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…
Wherever the saber light passed, the Mad Demon vanished, turning into a torrential rain of blood, scattered on the ground.
Then, these flesh and blood grew eyes, quickly coalescing together, their aura becoming even stronger.
At this moment, Mad Demon continued to appear out of thin air, joining the battlefield.
The six killed more and more, and their magical power and energy rapidly depleted.
Seeing this situation, Pei Ling embraced Li Lieyue, while continuously slaying Mad Demon with his saber, and escaping at full speed towards the direction of the teleportation array.
Fu Xuanxu and the other four had grim expressions. More and more Mad Demon were appearing. Aside from the sky not yet being dark, this place was almost identical to the Eternal Night Desert!
From all directions, there were dense masses of Mad Demon, and countless attacks came every moment.
At this moment, suddenly seeing Pei Ling leading the way, the four had no time to think and immediately followed him!
Boom, boom, boom…
Looking down from a high altitude, the Mad Demon were like a surging ocean, and the six individuals trapped in the middle were like a small, narrow boat, struggling to break through the encirclement amidst the surging waves formed by countless spells, Divine Abilities, Curses, and other attacks.
The blood-red Saber Qi, like an arrow, shot towards a certain direction. Wherever it passed, the surging Mad Demon were like waves suddenly parted, and a rain of flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
The Wooden Ruyi scattered clear light, the Jade Seal continuously stabilized various attacks, the silk umbrella retaliated in kind, and the sword light crisscrossed and roared, all closely following behind…
Although the six had no verbal communication, they all tacitly chose to cooperate at this moment.
Pei Ling only led the way, his Saber Qi incomparably sharp. Wherever it passed, there was almost no enemy that could withstand a single blow, forcibly carving out a bloody path.
When countless attacks from the Mad Demon fell, they were immediately defended by the combined efforts of the five individuals, including Li Lieyue, and their charging speed suddenly increased.
However, just as they were about to break out of the Mad Demon's encirclement, another towering stone wall, whose length was unknown, rose from the ground, instantly blocking their path!

Come back to read the third and fourth parts tonight.
Chapter 996: Breaking out of the Siege. (Third update! Please subscribe!)
Pei Ling's expression turned cold, and he immediately confirmed that in addition to the Mad Demon in the Eternal Night Desert, there was someone else in the shadows deliberately targeting him!
Thinking of this, he immediately swung his saber, unleashing tens of thousands of Saber Qi.
Crimson spread across the sky and earth, like rivers and waterfalls, filling the entire field of vision with whistling sharpness, permeated by a tyrannical and chilling Aura.
Swish, swish, swish…
The last few Mad Demon blocking the front were instantly cut into minced meat, and the remaining Saber Qi roared as it continued to cleave towards the stone wall!
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!
The Saber Qi fiercely struck the stone wall, instantly leaving huge, crisscrossing saber marks on the wall.
However, this stone wall was simply too thick. The shocking gashes extended for a moment, but the residual power of the Saber Qi was exhausted, ultimately failing to penetrate it.
As soon as the Saber Qi dissipated, the saber marks quickly began to recover.
Pei Ling struck again with his saber, the crimson Saber Qi, like a surging sea of blood, cleaving towards the position where the stone wall had just been gashed.
Boom, boom, boom…
With their momentum obstructed, the pressure on the other five immediately increased sharply.
Five-colored light shimmered, mixed with various ghostly wails and Curses. Countless spells and Divine Abilities instantly bombarded them from all directions.
If it were a single Mad Demon using these methods, any one of them present would not be afraid.
But at this moment, the number of Mad Demon was simply too great.
Moreover, after multiple mutations, almost all Mad Demon Cultivators had reached above the Soul Transformation Stage!
The Aura of those few Mad Demon at the Peak Soul Transformation Stage now even approached the Returning Void Stage.
Spells surged like tides, Divine Abilities rained down, obscuring the sky and sun, whistling forth, making it impossible to distinguish up, down, left, or right…
Fu Xuanxu, Zhong Kui Yueji, Ning Wuye, and Yan Minghua did not hesitate, almost simultaneously unleashing their Dharma Idols and Incarnations.
Four Dharma Idols, some naturally imbued with Dao charm, some grand and luminous, some with chilling Sword Intent, or some vibrant and heroic, rapidly rose, instantly shattering all the Mad Demon's spells.
But very quickly, an seemingly endless barrage of attacks, like surging waves, frantically rushed towards the Dharma Idols.
And by the side of the four's true bodies, an Incarnation, almost identical in appearance, Aura, and attire to the true body, also appeared to assist in the attacks.
Boom, boom, boom…
Majestic and grand mountains appeared in the sky, and roaring like a Dragon, surging rivers flowed; Sword Qi and clear light swept across the entire field, where it passed, flesh and blood splattered, and corpses fell; a jade seal hung high, constantly showering light golden radiance, solidifying various attacks; a huge, light pink umbrella shadow, like a myriad of flowers in spring, rapidly bloomed one after another among the Mad Demon…
Li Lieyue stood in the air but did not continue to attack. Instead, she closed her eyes, her Aura continuously rising, her long hair dancing without wind, her black gauze skirt fluttering violently. As she brewed her power, influenced by her Qi, dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky.
Pei Ling quickly acted, directly channeling a surge of magical power into Li Lieyue's body, instantly dispersing the Aura she had painstakingly gathered.
Li Lieyue let out a muffled groan, opened her eyes, and transmitted, with slightly furrowed brows, “Junior Brother Pei, only Lightning Tribulation can deal with these Mad Demon!”
Pei Ling directly transmitted back, “My true opponent is not these Mad Demon! Leave the defense to those four from the Pseudo-Dao. There’s no need for Senior Sister to ruin her future for this battle!”
As he spoke, he swung his long saber, unleashing hundreds of Saber Qi.
Crimson blades tore through the sky, carrying mournful sounds, continuously cutting into the stone wall.
Rumble!!!
After a few breaths, the continuous Saber Qi finally cut through the stone wall.
Pei Ling immediately pulled Li Lieyue and escaped into the hole created by the saber marks.
Seeing this, Fu Xuanxu pointed his finger at the Wooden Ruyi in mid-air. The Wooden Ruyi immediately glowed with a clear radiance, and in an instant, its material seemed to change from wood to jade.
At the same time, countless threads of clear light fell, blocking many attacks for half a breath.
Taking this opportunity, the four, Fu Xuanxu, used their escape techniques, closely following, and swiftly darted into the saber marks that had already begun to close.
“Roar!!!”
The Mad Demon let out hoarse roars, then one after another, they pursued into the stone wall.
At this moment, within the passage cut by the saber marks, new Mad Demon continuously appeared, as if out of thin air, blocking the path of Pei Ling and the others.
Pei Ling continuously swung his long saber, cutting down whatever stood in front of him with a single strike.
Swish, swish, swish…
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…
Stepping on viscous and sticky flesh, the six finally passed through the stone wall, and their vision suddenly opened up.
However, at this moment, many Mad Demon appeared in the surrounding Void Realm.
Before they could form an encirclement, Pei Ling swiftly escaped forward.
The four, Fu Xuanxu, followed closely behind.
In mid-air, groups of Mad Demon appeared out of thin air. Tens of thousands of Mad Demon, their bodies emanating tyrannical, chaotic, and evil Auras that condensed into a tangible form, like a giant gray-black net, covered the six individuals.
The six each used their own methods, flying at astonishing speed towards the direction where this large net had not yet managed to close.
The two sides, one pursuing and one fleeing, quickly escaped nearly a hundred miles.
The Mad Demon's spells and Divine Abilities rained down like a violent storm, furiously striking at the six.
The slightly dim Wooden Ruyi, the chilling Flying Sword, the grand jade seal, the light pink giant umbrella, the Crossing Tribulation Soul Suppression Bell… one after another, Lifebound Treasures continuously rose high, blocking the attacks coming from behind.
After a while, the six gradually broke out of the Mad Demon's net of encirclement.
Without needing to constantly face the overwhelming spells and Divine Abilities of the Mad Demon, Pei Ling's speed suddenly increased, instantly pulling himself and Li Lieyue away from the four of Fu Xuanxu.
Immediately after, Li Lieyue suddenly pointed to a vaguely discernible, pale mountain on the side of the sky, and transmitted, “It’s that mountain!”
Upon hearing this, Pei Ling did not hesitate, directly changing direction and escaping towards the Peak of that large mountain.
Without any obstruction, the Chongming Sect's signature Five Ghost Sky Net Escape was incredibly fast. Even while carrying Li Lieyue, it only left a barely perceptible trace in the air, streaking towards the mountains like a flash of lightning.
After a while, a flash of escape light, and the two had already landed on the summit of a mountain Peak with lush foliage and abundant water vapor.
This mountain Peak had many plants, full of wild vitality, but no trace of human habitation.
When Divine Thought swept over it, no Cultivator's methods were detected either.
Seeing that no more Mad Demon were pursuing them, both Pei Ling and Li Lieyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Lieyue immediately said, “Follow me!”
With that, she was about to step forward to lead the way, but the next moment…
Swish!
A tall and imposing figure suddenly appeared, blocking their path.
The newcomer was dressed in luxurious attire, with graceful movements that subtly concealed authority, and looked at them with a chilling gaze.
When Pei Ling and Li Lieyue clearly saw the other's face, their expressions changed simultaneously.
The person before them was none other than the Chongming Sect Master, Su Lijing!
Chapter 997: The Master's Love. (Fourth update! Please subscribe!)
However, upon closer inspection, Su Lijing's aura at this moment was only at the Returning Void Stage, and it was not his true body, but one of his Incarnations!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…
At this moment, the fleeing lights streaked across the sky, and Fu Xuanxu and the other four also caught up, landing behind Pei Ling and Li Lieyue.
"Holy Son Pei, this time…" Fu Xuanxu was about to say something but suddenly stopped, his gaze falling upon Su Lijing's Incarnation.
Zhong Kui Yueji, Ning Wuye, and Yan Minghua likewise frowned as they looked at Su Lijing's Incarnation.
Li Lieyue quickly reacted and coldly asked, "Nine A Li Clan, contemporary Saintess Li Lieyue, greets the Sect Master. May I know why the Sect Master has suddenly graced us with his presence?"
Su Lijing's Incarnation had an indifferent expression. His gaze swept over Li Lieyue and quickly landed on Pei Ling, as he calmly spoke, "I remember that during the Long Bo Battle King's Legacy, I did not pass the 【Maha Color Evolution Scroll】 to you. From where did you Cultivate this Cultivation Technique?"
It was naturally forcibly recorded by the System…
Thinking of this, Pei Ling had no intention of wasting time and quickly said, "Senior Sister Li, you go first. I have some private matters to discuss with the Sect Master."
He then added, "The four of you too."
Upon hearing this, Li Lieyue stood rooted to the spot, not moving an inch, showing no intention of leaving.
Fu Xuanxu and the other four frowned, vaguely guessing something. However, they hadn't yet figured out the relationship between Pei Ling and the Evil Slaying Banner, and besides, they had just fought alongside him for a short time…
After a moment of hesitation, Fu Xuanxu and the other four said nothing, but none of them had any intention of leaving.
Watching this scene, Su Lijing's Incarnation's expression remained unchanged.
Although this was only an Incarnation, dealing with a few juniors, killing one or killing six, made little difference.
Currently, the "Nether Blood" Founder had not yet entered seclusion, so he originally had no intention of personally acting against Pei Ling at this time.
However, not long ago, upon sensing Pei Ling's return to the camp, he dispatched this Incarnation to secretly monitor him, with the purpose of locking onto his position at any time.
Once the Ancestral Master entered seclusion, he could immediately act against him!
However, after that, the Eternal Night invaded, and all the Li Clan members were tied up by the Fallen Devil and the Fallen Immortal Seniors of the Holy Path. The low-level Disciples in the camp largely fell into madness, all heading towards Pei Ling. For a time, the entire Demonic Path Three Sects fell into chaos.
Under these circumstances, Pei Ling also fled the camp with Li Lieyue…
This was a rare opportunity!
Throughout the entire process, this Incarnation of Su Lijing had been secretly following Pei Ling.
Zuo Jinghang was originally fighting his true body, but upon realizing the problem, he deliberately held back, allowing the other party to leave.
Indeed, the other party truly sought out Pei Ling!
And another Dao Integration cultivator was also allowed to pass through using a similar method.
He just didn't expect that Pei Ling actually possessed the Evil Slaying Banner from Due Abyss. This was a treasure almost comparable to the Nine Great Sects' sect-protecting Magic Treasure, and the two Dao Integration cultivators, whom he had so much trouble letting through, were now both restrained by the Evil Slaying Banner.
Although the other Mad Demon pursuing Pei Ling were numerous, they simply couldn't stop him.
For this reason, Su Lijing's Incarnation even secretly imitated the Pseudo-Dao to act, twice blocking Pei Ling, but both attempts failed.
It was clearly a waste of time to rely on those insect-like Mad Demon now, so he simply revealed himself personally.
As long as Pei Ling was severely wounded, those Mad Demon would naturally take care of the aftermath for him!
At that time, if Pei Ling died at the hands of the Fallen Devil in the Eternal Night Desert, the power of that Fallen Immortal would conceal the heavenly secrets. Even if the "Nether Blood" Founder personally came to investigate, he would not fear him in the slightest!
The only thing to be careful about in doing this was to leave no one alive at the scene.
Thinking of this, Su Lijing said again, "Given your background, to have achieved what you have today shows your extraordinary talent and exceptional aptitude."
"You are a rare talent, and I have always admired you."
"Although you used the 【Maha Color Evolution Scroll】 to refine my legal wife, Si Hong Qingyan, it doesn't matter."
"She's just a woman."
"My conditions are still the same as last time."
"Swear a Heart Demon oath to be loyal to me for all eternity!"
"In the future, whether it's the position of Chongming Sect Master or the vast Saint Sect, they will all be yours."
"Even Si Hong Qingyan can be given directly to you."
"I can also help you secretly annex the Floating Light Si Hong Clan, so that the Floating Light Pool will change its name and surname from now on, allowing you to establish the Pei Clan!"
"Like the current three clans, you will hold great power and shine for ten thousand years."
"And what you need to do now is to use the 【Maha Color Evolution Scroll】 to refine these five Prodigies, including the Saintess, into Cauldron that you can manipulate at will."
"This way, you can not only control the Si Hong Clan but also secretly control the Nine A Li Clan."
"You can even secretly control Jiuyi Mountain, the Liulan Imperial Dynasty, the Han An Sword Sect, and Su Zhen Heaven!"
"The only price you need to pay is to use the 【Maha Color Evolution Scroll】 on these five Prodigies periodically."
"This is my last chance to you. I hope you do not misunderstand!"
Upon hearing this, Li Lieyue snorted coldly.
Fu Xuanxu and the other four frowned, their gazes immediately turning vigilant towards Pei Ling and Su Lijing's Incarnation.
At this moment, Pei Ling's expression remained unchanged. Beside him, the exquisite and beautiful Nine-Perilous Soul Saber Spirit slowly appeared. Her seaweed-like long hair fanned out like a peacock's tail, and her nine exquisite heads, plump or slender, each with a different charm and expression, all followed their master's will, casting bloodthirsty, murderous, and tyrannical gazes towards Su Lijing's Incarnation.
Pei Ling's heart was cold. With his current strength, even without Su Lijing's support, he could claim the position of Sect Master himself.
And Si Hong Qingyan was already his Cauldron, so why would he need the Sect Master to give her to him again?
Furthermore, Senior Sister Li had cultivated with him so many times and was his officially bonded Dao Companion, so he naturally wouldn't lay a hand on her.
As for cultivating Fu Xuanxu, Ning Wuye, and Zhong Kui Yueji… that was simply outrageous!
He really wanted to ask Su Lijing if he could even bring himself to do it!
And Yan Minghua of Su Zhen Heaven had already been cultivated by him using the 【Maha Color Evolution Scroll】…
And what about controlling the Si Hong Clan, the Nine A Li Clan, Jiuyi Mountain, the Liulan Imperial Dynasty, the Han An Sword Sect, and Su Zhen Heaven… setting aside whether he even had such thoughts, the other party's true purpose in doing this was merely to use his hand to achieve his own ambitions!
If he truly believed it, it would be tantamount to completely becoming the other party's Puppet.
Yes, the conditions Su Lijing offered this time were meaningless to him.
He didn't agree last time when he was still at the Golden Core stage, let alone now.
Thinking of this, Pei Ling immediately said coldly, "Sect Master's kindness is appreciated by this Disciple!"
"However, although this Disciple is not of the Saint Sect's three clans' Bloodline, I have passed the Ten Thousand Races Blood Ladder and, under the witness of the Nine Sects of the world, ascended to the position of Saint, entered the Inheritance Hall, and received the Ancestral Master's Legacy!"
"Not long ago, I even received personal guidance from the 'Nether Blood' Founder. If this Disciple dies here, the Sect Master will be buried with me!"
Seeing Pei Ling refuse again, Su Lijing's Incarnation's expression immediately turned cold.
He said in a deep voice, "Stubborn and unyielding, then I shall grant your wish!"
As soon as his voice fell, enormous Corpse Puppets immediately appeared in the surrounding Void Realm.
Each Corpse Puppet was as tall as a mountain, almost level with the mountain peak they were currently on, exuding a domineering and savage aura, all at the Returning Void Stage!
These were all Corpse Puppets refined from the Long Bo!

Pei Ling didn't hesitate for a moment, and the Nine Soul Saber immediately slashed down.
A highly compressed sanguine Saber Qi, like a roaring blood waterfall, fiercely struck towards Su Lijing's Incarnation.
Su Lijing's Incarnation remained motionless, and a Dragon Corpse Puppet instantly reached out, its massive palm like a thick city wall, instantly blocking his front.
Poof!
The Dragon Corpse Puppet's steel-hard hand was immediately slashed open with a huge gash, and as black blood and chunks of flesh splattered, the Saber Qi's momentum greatly diminished, but it continued to strike towards Su Lijing's Incarnation!
Su Lijing's Incarnation lightly flicked his finger, shattering the Saber Qi that flew before him.
"Late Stage Soul Transformation, yet able to injure a Void Realm Cultivator. As expected of one who has undergone Myriad Tribulations."
"However, if you cannot be used by this one, then it is better to destroy you!"
Su Lijing's Incarnation said coldly, then slapped his palm down.
The massive palm print was tangible, yet descended silently, as if space itself was collapsing layer by layer, intending to crush Pei Ling into dust.
This single palm strike enveloped Pei Ling, Li Lieyue, and Fu Xuanxu, all four of them.
At the same time, the dozen or so Dragon Corpse Puppets around them also swung their mountain-sized fists, fiercely smashing towards the six of them.
Since he had already made his move, Su Lijing's Incarnation naturally had no intention of leaving any survivors.
An dark purple glow instantly surged in Pei Ling's eyes, countless tiny runes intertwined and ascended, instantly locking onto Su Lijing's Incarnation.
This was the 【Eternal Curse Divine Power】 from the Curse Ghost Dao Foundation!
Immediately after, he wielded the Nine Soul Saber, instantly unleashing tens of thousands of Saber Qi.
The Saber Qi surged like a tide, roaring towards Su Lijing's Incarnation's palm force and the Dragon Corpse Puppets' gigantic fists.
As the Divine Ability was activated, the Aura of Su Lijing's Incarnation and the dozen or so Dragon Corpse Puppets rapidly declined.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Sanguine energy crisscrossed, like surging ocean waves, furiously impacting the palm print and the giant fists.
In an instant, Su Lijing's Incarnation's palm print and Pei Ling's Saber Qi both dissipated.
The Dragon Corpse Puppets' giant fists were slashed with numerous hideous Saber Qi marks, black blood and pale chunks of flesh rained down, yet the Corpse Puppets felt no pain, nor did they fear death, their giant fists were only slightly hindered before continuing their descent.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
The peak was instantly riddled with gigantic deep pits, vegetation was destroyed, and streams and ponds vanished into thin air. From the outside, this majestic mountain seemed to have shrunk by a section.
Amidst the swirling dust, Pei Ling, Li Lieyue, and Fu Xuanxu all stood in the air.
Seeing that Su Lijing's Incarnation had gotten serious, Fu Xuanxu immediately said concisely, "Team up!"
As he spoke, he quickly took out an ancient scroll. The scroll floated in mid-air like a swimming fish, slowly unfurling to reveal a magnificent landscape of towering mountains and winding green waters. Among the numerous peaks, clouds and mist swirled, and verdant ridges were vaguely visible, appearing indistinct.
Among the countless peaks, nine mountains stood out clearly, reaching into the sky, as if they were right before their eyes.
These were precisely the Nine Peaks, led by Jiuyi Mountain!
Fu Xuanxu formed a hand seal, and the mountains swiftly leaped out of the painting, striking fiercely towards Su Lijing's Incarnation and the Dragon Corpse Puppets.
Ning Wuye took out a light-green sword talisman. After activating it, the sword talisman immediately transformed into a massive azure Flying Sword, as large as a long whale.
Swish!
With a single flash, it had already swept across the Void Realm, striking directly at Su Lijing's Incarnation!
Golden feathers shone brightly, as if condensed from the sun's radiant light, emitting a vast and scorching hot power. Yan Minghua delicately pinched them with her fair hand, and a faint glow illuminated her face, as if coating her entire being in a golden radiance.
This was the Opportunity she had gained from the Nine Tribulation Transformation God at Azure Billow Mountain this time!
With a thought, the golden feathers were activated, and pure golden flames immediately surged from them. As the flames danced, they appeared tangible, as if not a mass of fire, but a flowing golden liquid, brilliant and magnificent, like a seed of the great sun, making it impossible for ordinary Cultivators to look directly at them.
In the blink of an eye, this mass of flames had transformed into a three-legged fierce bird, which raised its head and let out a clear cry, fluttering towards Su Lijing's Incarnation.
And Zhong Kui Yueji took out a dark golden crown, slowly placing it on his head. The next moment, his Aura surged, and then the imperial seal flew out, its runes flashing and colorful light swirling around it, pressing down towards Su Lijing's Incarnation with power many times greater than before!
Her black dress fluttering, Li Lieyue took out a porcelain bottle engraved with countless sealing runes. Upon opening it, a white-haired, ink-eyed Ghost, otherwise appearing human, floated out. This was the primary material she had originally intended for her Nine Tribulation Transformation God!
Under the activation of her hand seal, the Ghost immediately vanished into the Void Realm, reappearing moments later, standing in the air behind a Dragon Corpse Puppet, and swiftly forcibly possessing the Corpse Puppet...
Everyone present was an heir of the Nine Great Sects, and their trump cards were naturally extraordinary.
However, Su Lijing was once a top Prodigy of the Chongming Sect. At this moment, whether in cultivation or foundation, he was far superior to everyone present.
Even if this was only his Incarnation!
Witnessing this scene, Su Lijing's Incarnation's expression remained unchanged. He immediately raised his hand and directly struck the indistinct mountain landscape in the painting in mid-air.
At the same time, several Dragon Corpse Puppets actively moved to intercept Ning Wuye's activated azure Flying Sword, Yan Minghua's fiery fierce bird, and Zhong Kui Yueji's imperial seal...
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
In an instant, the mountains shook and toppled; the azure Flying Sword shattered with a crash; the fiery fierce bird quickly ignited a Dragon Corpse Puppet, but as soon as it began to burn, countless runes lit up on the Corpse Puppet, and the fierce bird only lasted for a brief moment before extinguishing; the massive imperial seal collided fiercely with a Dragon Corpse Puppet in mid-air, both recoiling, and with a barely perceptible "crack," a faint crack appeared on the crown on Zhong Kui Yueji's head.
Immediately after, Su Lijing's Incarnation reached out and, aiming at the Dragon Corpse Puppet that was being possessed by the Ghost and standing motionless, suddenly clenched his hand.
Bang!!!
The Dragon Corpse Puppet's head was directly crushed, and the Ghost within was instantly annihilated, body and soul.
But soon, the Dragon Corpse Puppet grew a new head...
Having easily dealt with the combined efforts of the five, Su Lijing's Incarnation immediately looked towards Pei Ling.
He saw that the Dao Spirit was still protecting him, and in the Void Realm before him, two lines of characters had been written in cloud script. The blood-colored characters read: "No drinking allowed here."
The other line of cloud script, formed purely from magical power, read: "No corpse manipulation allowed here."
At this moment, the blood-colored characters had already merged into Pei Ling's body, while the other line of magical power cloud script silently dissipated into this world.
Just as Su Lijing's Incarnation was wondering what kind of spell this was, he suddenly felt himself being Cursed!
His blood, his Origin, his flesh... all were rapidly decaying and corrupting!
Su Lijing's Incarnation immediately used his vast magical power to forcibly suppress the Curse, but this Curse was like mercury spilling onto the ground, pervasive and inescapable, and new Curses were constantly arriving and replenishing every moment.
He suppressed it again and again, his magical power rapidly depleting.
At the same time, Pei Ling raised his long saber, imbued with boundless Aura, and slashed down at him!
Chapter 999: One on One. (Second update! Please subscribe!)
Blood splattered!
Crimson light illuminated this world.
A majestic Saber Qi roared forth with an unstoppable momentum.
Thousands of obscure soul bodies screamed as they intertwined and flew, quickly weaving a massive net that moved towards Su Lijing's Incarnation.
Yin Xia Kong Ming Slash!
Boom!!!
A Wall of Myriad Corpses, forcefully pieced together from the bodies of ten thousand races, suddenly rose, blocking the slash!
The next moment, the Wall of Myriad Corpses transformed into thick Corpse Qi, slowly dissipating. Su Lijing's Incarnation behind it was unharmed, but his expression gradually became solemn as he looked at Pei Ling.
He flicked his sleeve, collecting all the Dragon Puppet Corpses.
Immediately after, Su Lijing sensed that, in addition to the Curse he was currently afflicted with, the continuous influx of Curses from the outside world had finally stopped.
Mimicking the Law of the Dao, this was no ordinary method!
Fortunately, the Saint had only recently entered the Dao and had Cultivated for too short a time. His understanding of such moves was very limited, and he was unaware of the principle of equivalence within them. Otherwise, he would have suffered a great loss just now!
Thinking of this, Su Lijing's Incarnation no longer harbored any underestimation. He reached out and, from a distance, seized over a hundred Mad Demon!
After the Mad Demon appeared, they charged towards Pei Ling without the slightest hesitation.
Su Lijing's Incarnation watched indifferently. Since he couldn't control corpses now, he would let the Mad Demon from the Eternal Night Desert attack!
Seeing this, Pei Ling's expression turned cold. No wonder the Mad Demon had chased so quickly along the way just now; it turned out Su Lijing had been secretly manipulating them.
He quickly sent a message to the other five: “Hold back the Mad Demon for me. I'll deal with Su Lijing's Incarnation alone!”
With that, without waiting for the five to agree, he immediately cast the Five Ghost Sky Net Escape, bypassing the Fallen Devil charging towards him, and instantly appeared before Su Lijing, then slashed down!
At this moment, Su Lijing was about to grab a second batch of Fallen Devil. Seeing Pei Ling already in front of him, he could only immediately stop and simultaneously punch at the opponent.
Boom!!!
A earth-shattering roar erupted, and a terrifying impact, like waves, surged in all directions.
The remaining vegetation, sand, and rocks... were all effortlessly shattered into dust, covering the entire field.
Pei Ling felt a tremendous force from his Saber, and his body flew backward uncontrollably.
On Su Lijing's Incarnation's fist, a shallow Saber mark appeared. He also lost his footing and retreated two steps.
He was about to press his advantage when, in the Void Realm, nine streaks of blood-colored Saber Qi suddenly appeared, like raging red lotuses, pointing directly at all the vital points on his body!
These nine Saber Qi were different from all the previous Saber Qi. They were not only silent but also far more powerful than the Saber Qi Pei Ling had just used.
This was the Blood Fiend Saber Soul!
Su Lijing's Incarnation instantly erupted with violent Corpse Qi, and the greenish-black corpse smoke billowed like thick smoke. He clenched his fists and met the Blood Fiend Saber Soul!
Clang, clang, clang...
In a flash, the Blood Fiend Saber Soul struck thousands of times, but all were blocked by Su Lijing's Incarnation's fists.
At this moment, a sharp and incomparably massive Saber shadow suddenly slashed towards Su Lijing's Incarnation.
The Blood Fiend Saber Soul instantly transformed into nine blood-robed maidens, each with a different charm and stunning beauty, blocking all of Su Lijing's Incarnation's escape routes.
Su Lijing's Incarnation immediately crossed his arms, holding them above his head.
Boom!!!
The Saber shadow fell with immense force, causing the ground beneath Su Lijing's Incarnation's feet to instantly crack like a spiderweb.
The entire mountain peak trembled violently, as if it could collapse at any moment.
The Blade Spirit took this opportunity to fiercely slash at Su Lijing's Incarnation.
Clang, clang, clang...
Boom!!!
A terrifying surge of Corpse Qi, as violent as a tide, suddenly erupted from within Su Lijing's Incarnation's body.
All nine Blade Spirits were sent flying backward.
Pei Ling's mind stirred, and he immediately recalled the Dao Spirit. At the same time, a half-black, half-white Dharma Idol, identical to his main body, slowly rose behind him!
The Dharma Idol's expression was cold. He flicked his sleeve, blocking all the incoming Corpse Qi.
Su Lijing's Incarnation stood in the center of the Corpse Qi. At this moment, his Dharma Robe was torn, revealing his bare upper body with skin as pale as a corpse. There were some crisscrossing shallow Saber marks on his heart, neck, arms, and waist, but no blood flowed out.
Even the Blood Fiend Saber Soul couldn't truly harm the opponent!
Pei Ling frowned. This Incarnation of Su Lijing was invulnerable, even harder than the Physical Body of those Dragon Puppet Corpses just now!
Normal methods couldn't break his defense.
At this moment, he heard Su Lijing's Incarnation say indifferently, “It seems Ten Thousand Tribulations Nascent Divinity is only this level.”
Before his words fell, he pointed a finger at Pei Ling.
A speck of dark light shot through the air, its Aura powerful and sharp, carrying a thick, substantial deathly Aura, pointing directly at Pei Ling's head!
The Dharma Idol behind Pei Ling immediately unleashed a Saber slash. The massive Saber shadow obscured the sky and sun, stirring up fierce winds.
Boom!!!
The Saber shadow instantly shattered, and the dark light continued to shoot towards Pei Ling.
Swish, swish, swish...
The Dharma Idol then unleashed more than a dozen Saber shadows.
Boom, boom, boom...
After ten slashes, the dark light finally completely dissipated.
And at this moment, Su Lijing's Incarnation unleashed a second finger...
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...
Pei Ling's Dharma Idol continuously unleashed Saber shadows, rapidly weakening and dissipating the dark light.
For a time, at the peak, blood light and dark light intertwined like dog teeth, opposing each other, canceling each other out, and vying for supremacy...
The two sides were in a stalemate for a moment, but Pei Ling dared not delay further. He immediately said coldly, “Su Lijing, after this battle, this Saint will publicly summon your officially wedded wife and make her serve me for ten days and ten nights to vent my hatred!”
Upon hearing this, Su Lijing's Incarnation's expression immediately darkened, and he said coldly, “After this battle, you can only become one of the Fallen Immortal Dream Realm, forever sinking!”
Feeling the intense hatred that instantly arose in Su Lijing's heart, Pei Ling did not hesitate and immediately cast the Grievance Nightmare Divine Power!
His eyes flickered with dark purple light, and countless strange runes intertwined and rose. His Aura rapidly increased. At the same time, Pei Ling's hand seals changed, and he used the Eternal Regret Curse.
In an instant, his Aura suddenly became incredibly terrifying, almost comparable to Su Lijing's Incarnation.
A darkness as thick as substance emanated from around Pei Ling, quickly enveloping both himself and Su Lijing's Incarnation.
Several methods were cast simultaneously. By the time Su Lijing's Incarnation noticed the problem, he was already trapped in the Nether Sky Mist!
Su Lijing's Incarnation snorted coldly and immediately prepared to cast the Five Ghost Sky Net Escape to escape the Nether Sky Mist. But just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly forgot what he was going to do.
This memory blank only lasted for a very short moment. Su Lijing's Incarnation quickly recovered, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. A silent yet incomparably sharp Saber Qi had already struck him!
Su Lijing's Incarnation quickly retreated, while simultaneously throwing a punch!
Boom!!!
The terrifying Saber Qi was dispersed by the force of the punch.
Drip... drip... drip...
Blood slowly seeped out. A not-so-shallow Saber mark appeared on Su Lijing's Incarnation's neck, and countless Curses continuously poured into his body through the wound.
Su Lijing's Incarnation's expression immediately became extremely solemn. He was just a hair's breadth away from having his head cut off by the opponent!

Come back on the third and fourth night.
