Big Devil: Starting from refining flying zombies

At the same time, with Athena's efficiency, she naturally prepared all the gifts needed to participate in the True Immortal Conference very quickly.

In a short while, Liang Xiao, leading Arthas and a group of elders from the Holy Demon Academy, boarded a huge ship that was loaded with gifts, had complete ceremonial equipment, and looked magnificent.

Although this ship is also capable of crossing China, the Saint Demon Academy has the magical artifact Xiaoyaoyou, so there is no need to waste two or three months of sailing time.

I saw a flash of fairy light, and the huge ship heading to Nan Tian Shenzhou was transported through time and space, and instantly appeared somewhere in Nan Tian Shenzhou.

However, Liang Xiao revisited his old place and returned to the Southern Divine Land again after many years. Standing at the bow of the ship, looking at the familiar scenery of mountains and seas, he was thinking about another thing, which was the matter of the training quota for the Holy Demon Qiankun Dao.

"This is a bit strange. The Immortal and Demonic Scripture can only be inherited by three people at the same time. My place in cultivation comes from Old Man Wujian, and this old man has proved his Dao by killing three corpses."

“If nothing unexpected happens, the other two places for cultivation in the Saint Demonic Universe should be occupied by the Evil Corpse and the Good Corpse respectively.”

"Ten thousand years ago, I knew that something had gone wrong with Elder Wu Jian's attainment of the Dao, and that he was in danger of becoming a Daoist. The evil corpse escaped and wanted to kill me and take away my Dao fruit."

"Later, it was Gu Xuanyuan who took action to suppress the evil corpse of Wu Jian. I heard that he seemed to have done something for Wu Jian and stabilized the condition of old man Wu Jian."

"Now there is a vacancy for cultivation in the Saint Demon Universe Dao. Could it be that Elder Wujian has successfully achieved enlightenment after his three corpses merged into one, thus leaving a vacancy?"

Liang Xiao rubbed his chin, feeling a little bit unbelievable.

According to common sense, since old man Wujian failed to prove his Dao and fell into the state of transformation, he was doomed to die and would be finished sooner or later.

Regardless of whether the time of enlightenment can be delayed to ten thousand years later, even if Old Man Wujian really succeeded, he could reverse the crisis of enlightenment and become an immortal against the will of heaven.

There shouldn't be no news on Tianlan Continent. There must be some rumors.

You must know that every time there is one more True Immortal in the human race, it is a great joyous event for the entire human race. Just like this time with Gu Xuanyuan, he will invite fellow practitioners to hold a True Immortal Conference.

When thinking of Gu Xuanyuan's immortality, Liang Xiao's expression suddenly changed. He had not originally connected these two things together.

However, the timing of Gu Xuanyuan's becoming an immortal seemed to be very close to the time when the number of places in the Saint Demon Universe changed.

"Hiss, there must be some unknown secret in this!"

Liang Xiao narrowed his eyes, but quickly shook his head. Even if there was some secret, it had nothing to do with him, so he didn't bother to care about it.

Soon, as the Saint Demon Academy's ship slowly sailed into the Hongyun Small World, all kinds of lights and decorations, bustling and noisy scenes came into view.

The Hongyun Small World is originally a place without sky and earth, with floating islands and floating continents everywhere, floating in the mist, giving it a fairyland scene.

At this moment, the entire world of cultivation is hosting a rare True Immortal Conference. The various high-level cultivators’ escape lights and the vehicles of the envoys from major forces are overwhelming.

Although Arthas had a high status in the Saint Demon Academy, like a princess, she still rarely saw such a grand scene and ran around on the ship excitedly.

Liang Xiao was annoyed by the little girl's chattering, calling her master all the time, and making a fuss about nothing. He had no choice but to arrange for a few female elders to accompany Arthas on the trip.

Immediately afterwards, several powerful elders of the Holy Demon Academy began to contact the people from the Hongyun Demon Sect. These mundane affairs did not require the intervention of Liang Xiao, the master of the academy.

It is worth mentioning that as the largest force in Qinglong Shenzhou, the Hongyun Demon Sect treated the delegation from the Holy Demon Academy according to the standards for receiving a supreme sect.

The rather generous double gift from the Holy Demon Academy also gave enough face to the Hongyun Demon Sect, causing some forces on the scene to secretly take a deep breath, thinking that even if they sold off their own forces, they would not be able to sell so many cultivation resources.

As the saying goes, a small gift may convey great sentiment, and a large gift may convey greater sentiment.

Before the True Immortal Conference officially began, Liang Xiao was invited to participate in a banquet hosted by the top leaders of the Hongyun Demon Sect, where he met the Hongyun Demon Lord and the protagonist of this True Immortal Conference, Gu Xuanyuan.

Gu Xuanyuan was still dressed in the same high hat and wide belt as before, like a great scholar with great knowledge and elegance.

But the aura around him has quietly changed. He is filled with immortal energy and transcendental, like a true immortal.

He raised his glass towards Liang Xiao and said with a smile:
"Liang Xiao, I have long seen that you are not an ordinary person. You may become an immortal in the future."

"I didn't expect that I underestimated you!"

"You have created the foundation of the Saint Demon Academy and founded a school. You are comparable to the founders of the supreme sects and have surpassed me."

Liang Xiao smiled bitterly when he heard this, sat down on his seat, raised his wine glass with both hands, saluted in return, and said:

"Senior Gu, you really overpraise me. Liang Xiao was just born in a prosperous era and took advantage of the situation to become famous. Only someone like you can one day achieve enlightenment and become an immortal, and enjoy eternal freedom. This is an immortal achievement!"

Since Gu Xuanyuan has already achieved enlightenment and become an immortal, his former identity as the Daozi of Hongyun Demon Sect is no longer suitable as a title, so Liang Xiao respectfully calls him "senior". After a round of daily business praise, the banquet was over, and Liang Xiao, like everyone else, asked Gu Xuanyuan for advice on the details of enlightenment.

This is also one of the meanings of the True Immortal Conference, which allows people to exchange precious experiences in becoming immortals and increase the power of the tribe.

Gu Xuanyuan was very magnanimous and courageous, and did not deliberately hide anything.

The details of the journey to becoming an immortal left many people, especially Liang Xiao, dumbfounded and filled with sighs.

In terms of the way of attaining enlightenment, Gu Xuanyuan chose the path of attaining enlightenment through the will of all living beings, which was in line with many people's expectations. He would not lack the will of all living beings.

After Qinglong Shenzhou was conquered, for a long period of time, the luck and will of Qinglong Shenzhou were divided up by the five supreme sects of Dongtian Shenzhou and Nantian Shenzhou.

This is understandable. After all, even now, Qinglong Shenzhou has not been able to completely get rid of its dependence on Dongtian Shenzhou and Nantian Shenzhou.

The maintenance of the necessary interests of both parties is indispensable, otherwise there will be no endless unilateral efforts.

However, there was an important reason that allowed Gu Xuanyuan to successfully achieve enlightenment.

It was he who, with the help of Demon Lord Hongyun and the Xutian Divine Mirror, used secret methods to absorb the three corpses of Old Man Wujian.

In the end, the two of them combined their insights into the great Dao and achieved immortality in one fell swoop. In a sense, this was a first in the world of cultivation!
Because of this, the number of inheritance spots in the Holy Demonic Universe changed, and a spot inexplicably became vacant.

“Senior Gu, I wonder if you could pass down this method. If we can use it to gain the inner strengths of those Saint Kings who failed to attain enlightenment, the possibility of the human race’s Saint Kings becoming immortals will be greatly increased!”

The voice of the Holy King on the scene couldn't stop trembling. It was originally thought that it would be very difficult to obtain this set of secret techniques, but unexpectedly, Gu Xuanyuan suddenly became a little lonely, sighed, and gave this secret technique to everyone present.

Liang Xiao took a look and shook his head as expected. The conditions were indeed extremely harsh. It was another secret method that was used in a roundabout way. There were three reasons why Gu Xuanyuan was able to absorb the three corpses of old man Wujian.

One reason is that ancient Xuanyuan had suffered a disaster in the past, and the origin of the stars was exhausted, almost completely dried up. It was the old man Wujian who infused it with the origin of the stars to replace his blood and prolong his life. So the lives of the two were intertwined to some extent.

Secondly, when old man Wujian later fell into a crisis of transformation, Gu Xuanyuan was very considerate. His so-called means of stabilization was actually to take advantage of the convenience of the interweaving of life and death, and take the initiative to enter the scene to share the power of transformation, forcibly extending his life for nearly ten thousand years.

Third, Demon Lord Hongyun brought several other true immortals from the Demon Sect, including Demon Lord Tianmo and Demon Lord Xinmo, and used the power of the immortal artifact Xutian Divine Mirror to perform heaven-defying methods. Only then did they absorb the essence of the Three Corpses of Wujian before they transformed into Dao.

Liang Xiao believed that there must be something behind this that Gu Xuanyuan had planned. He might have anticipated this day a long time ago and was just trying his best to delay its arrival.

But this does not mean that Old Man Wujian was completely kept in the dark.

Because they have been good friends for many years, their lives are intertwined, and they can fight against the power of the Tao and coexist perfectly.

This kind of relationship can be said to be closer than that of many Taoist couples, and since Old Man Wujian is destined to become a Taoist, he will certainly not drag his good friend Gu Xuanyuan to die with him.

Although it sounds a bit cruel, it seems like an elaborate conspiracy.

But in fact, the old man Wu Jian definitely knew everything and cooperated.

It was a blessing for him to be able to pass on the inheritance, and Gu Xuanyuan could be considered to have become an immortal with his share.

Liang Xiao left the banquet with some emotion, and then stayed in the Hongyun small world for more than half a month. During the True Immortal Conference, he was regarded as a big figure who could gather and disperse the world with a wave of his hand and was looked up to by countless cultivators.

It is also worth mentioning that over the past ten thousand years, the human race has held True Immortal Conferences quite frequently.

In fact, it was not only Gu Xuanyuan, the Taoist disciple of Hongyun Demon Sect, who became an immortal.

The Original Demon Sect, the Moral Immortal Sect, the World-Destroying Demon Sect, and the Heaven-Bulding Immortal Sect also had new true immortals born one after another.

Obviously, this is because the human race has initially achieved the unification of Tianlan.

The human race's cultivation civilization absorbed a lot of nutrients from other races and became unprecedentedly prosperous. To some extent, it has reached its peak.

"No, it's a bit too early to say that it's the peak of prosperity. Moreover, since ancient times, there has been a saying that prosperity will eventually decline. The human race still has hidden worries and troubles to overcome."

Liang Xiao suddenly had some inspiration. At his level, he had already integrated his own trend and destiny with the entire human race. Many things in the future were self-evident, and there was a sense of connection between heaven and man.

His practice over the past nine thousand years can be described as going smoothly, but there is still one last hurdle to overcome: ascending to heaven and attaining enlightenment.

It seems that the prosperity of the human race is just right, but in fact, there are still gods and monsters that have not been eliminated. (End of this chapter)
