I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

After watching the Bloodwinged Beast leave, Wei Tu pondered for a moment, then took out the 'Five Wonders Corpse' he had obtained from the Purple-Faced Man from the corpse-raising bag.

Of these five strange corpses, apart from the 'Toad Water Yin Corpse' transformed from the son of the Purple-Faced Hermit, the remaining four corpses were already close to the seventh rank when they were in the human realm.

He only needs one more opportunity to successfully become a seventh-order corpse refiner.

Now that his Dharma form has advanced to the 'Blue-Eyed Flying Zombie' level, this 'opportunity' has arrived!
Indeed, as a protective measure for the top-tier extraordinary skill "Corpse Rigidity Secret Technique," the "Five Extraordinary Corpses" are closely related to his cultivation level... His magical power is the best medicine for the "Five Extraordinary Corpses" to advance.

"Even with my five corpses incomplete, these four corpses alone will give me a significant advantage in battles against other cultivators of the same level, and serve as a means of protection within the Hundred Spirits Demon Realm..."

Wei Tu closed his eyes slightly, his hands forming hand seals, transferring his magical power to the 'Five Strange Corpses' surrounding him, thus nourishing these five great corpse refiners.

At the first level of the Integration Realm, he possessed many powerful techniques, enough to rival a 'Grand Integration Cultivator' without being at a disadvantage, and even threaten their life.

However, in terms of conventional methods... he, who had only advanced to the Integration Realm for a few hundred years, was already struggling to make ends meet.

After the Demon Dragon Scissors were 'ruined', all that remained were the following supernatural abilities: 'Golden Body of Mighty Strength', 'Myriad Forbidden Demon Curse', 'Seven Wonders Demon Body', and 'Seven Eyes Technique of the Nether Cauldron'.

After removing the hidden Buddhist light of tribulation within the 'Ten Thousand Forbidden Demon Curse', almost none of these supernatural powers can immediately defeat the enemy.

Of course, his situation wasn't so dire when it came to magical treasures. After arriving in the Radiant Realm, he also managed to steal two low-grade seventh-tier magical treasures from Xu Shan, but unfortunately... these were stolen goods and absolutely could not be shown in the Hundred Spirits Demon Realm.

Therefore, nurturing the 'Five Wonder Corpses' and helping them break through to the seventh rank as soon as possible is extremely necessary for him.

Even though the Toad Water Corpse advances relatively slowly, the remaining four seventh-tier refined corpses... are still enough to become a domineering means to crush ordinary Fusion Realm cultivators and ordinary Demon Lords!
"Besides, I also need to hurry up and draw the 'Secret Sword Talisman' obtained from Fairy Xuanling... This time, I also obtained a considerable number of 'Seventh-Order Talisman Paper' from the legacy of Demon Ancestor Qianyun." Wei Tu's eyes flickered slightly as he pondered to himself.

The Secret Sword Talisman is a high-level talisman capable of enabling the Mysterious Spirit Fairy to roam freely in the Great Ascension Realm. However, due to the difficulty in obtaining seventh-tier talisman paper, he has almost abandoned this technique since advancing to the Integration Realm…

Now that he has the legacy of the Thousand Cloud Demon Ancestor as support, he will no longer leave it unused.

……

"Shall we go to the Hundred Spirit Demon Realm together?"

Not long after Wei Tu began nurturing the 'Five Strange Corpses', he once again received a visiting card from a nearby demon lord at the entrance of his cave.

However, unlike their previous "purchasing" of the Bloodwinged Demon, these Demon Lords' invitations were to invite Wei Tu to accompany them to the "Hundred Spirits Demon Realm".

The reason these people invited Wei Tu was quite simple: Wei Tu, who possessed a combined spirit beast, was bound to shine brightly in the 'Hundred Spirit Demon Realm'.

Inviting powerful individuals to join them can also amplify their gains within the 'Hundred Spirits Demon Realm'.

"There should be no ulterior motive," Wei Tu thought to himself as he glanced at the signatures on the visiting cards.

Demon lords of the same rank are wary of each other and will not easily make a move unless there is a significant benefit to be gained.

Even Xu Shan, they only dared to threaten him with his weaknesses; they would never dare to actually carry out a robbery or murder.

Now, with the Bloodwinged Demon as his companion, his overt combat power is something that ordinary demon lords greatly fear...

Without the conspiracy of three to five or more demon lords, no one would dare to make a move against him.

Wei Tu thought to himself that he did not believe that with his current value, he could attract so many demon lords to fight against him.

"It's him." After examining the invitation in his hand for a few moments, Wei Tu finally settled on a Demon Lord whose name was 'Shu An'.

Like him, this demon had not been at the Demon Lord realm for very long, and among the Demon Lords in the 'early stage', he was considered one of the weaker ones.

Of course, what truly put his mind at ease about this demon was...

Within the Sheng Guang Realm, there are quite a few descendants of their clan, unlike those lone cultivators who are all alone.

Therefore, the price to pay for this demon's betrayal is far greater than that of any other demon lord.

Cooperating with this demon would also bring him more convenience within the 'Hundred Spirits Demon Realm'.

Although this demon is not very strong, as a native demon lord of the Sheng Guang Realm, his circle of friends is bound to be much wider than that of this foreign demon lord.

In some situations, it can help avoid some trouble.

However, Wei Tu did not rush to reply to this letter.

Sixty years later, just as the 'Hundred Spirits Demon Realm' was about to open, he finally replied to the demon, informing him that he intended to go there with him.

"It would be fine for Demon Lord Kou and I to go together, but... I have also invited other companions to go to the 'Hundred Spirits Demon Realm'..."

Outside the cave, high in the clouds of the immortal city, shortly after replying to the letter, Wei Tu met with a horse-faced old man with a fierce appearance and rich attire.

The old man with the horse-like face clearly looked troubled after seeing Wei Tu.

After all, Wei Tu's previous failure to reply was tantamount to an implicit rejection of his invitation.

He, of course, would not wait for Wei Tu in vain. He had already invited the other demon lords to join him within the past sixty years.

Now... Wei Tu's sudden 'joining' is undoubtedly quite a challenge for him.

If it weren't for the fact that Wei Tu, a fellow demon lord, was not someone to be trifled with, he would have already turned and left.

"Very well, I'll ask my friend. If he doesn't mind if Alchemist Kou accompanies me... I will once again welcome Alchemist Kou to this trip to the 'Hundred Spirits Demon Realm'..."

After a moment's hesitation, the old man with the horse-like face offered this compromise.

Wei Tu had no objection to this.

Those who deliberately act arrogantly will naturally face such difficulties.

However, he felt no regret about this.

Although this horse-faced old man didn't seem like the kind of demon lord who would harm him, it was still very necessary to take precautions and try to prevent him from setting a trap in advance.

After a while.

Perhaps it was Wei Tu's reputation as a seventh-level alchemist that had an effect, because the old man with the horse-like face showed a noticeable softening on his face after receiving the reply.

Clearly, his demon lord friend had agreed to Wei Tu's temporary addition.

At this moment, the old man with the horse face also told Wei Tu about his friend's Taoist name and background.

"Madam Wanmiao is quite famous in the 'Primordial Demon Source Realm,' and Alchemist Kou also comes from the 'Primordial Demon Source Realm.' The two of you... may have met before," the horse-faced old man said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu's face immediately showed a look of realization.

Although he had never met this 'Lady Wanmiao', thanks to her reputation as a Demon Lord, he had some information about her when he first entered 'Tianyuan Holy City' hundreds of years ago.

However, this woman was not as powerful as the old man with the horse face had described, and was far from being 'famous'. She was just an ordinary demon lord, and only had a slight reputation because she was one of the few female demon lords.

Of course, no one would take these compliments seriously.

After agreeing with a few words, Wei Tu's divine sense glimpsed a beautiful mature woman dressed in pink, riding on a cloud of demonic energy, slowly flying towards him, accompanied by a fragrant breeze.

"I never expected that Demon Lord Kou would come to the Radiant Realm. Back in the 'Heavenly Abyss Holy City,' I never had the chance to get to know Demon Lord Kou... Now, I finally have the opportunity."

Madam Wan Miao parted her red lips slightly and greeted Wei Tu with a smile.

Seeing this, Wei Tu was not intimidated at all and started chatting with the woman.

Before long, the two became quite familiar with each other.

Later, upon learning that this woman had only recently arrived in the Radiant Realm, he took the opportunity to inquire about the current situation of his 'relatives and friends' in the Primordial Demon Source Realm.

Madam Wanmiao knew nothing about the existence of 'Gong Shulan'; all she knew was that Cai Xiaozhu had successfully broken through to the Demon Lord realm in recent years and returned to the Kui Dou Merchant Guild...

However, after learning that the Demon Lord Kuidou and the Demon Lord Lianwu had not had any conflict, Wei Tu put aside his worries about Gong Shulan's safety.

At this moment, perhaps they were inspired to talk.

Lady Wanmiao also casually mentioned the major events that had recently occurred in the 'Primordial Demon Source Realm'.

For example, a new Demon Ancestor has been added!
"This Demon Ancestor, whose Daoist name is Weeping River, is also a beauty. However, strangely enough... I have never heard of her reputation in the Ancient Demon Realm before..."

"The Weeping River Demon Lord?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tu's mind immediately sharpened.

Even though he had anticipated this, after all, the Weeping River Demon Lord had already reached the 'half-step Demon Ancestor' realm a thousand years ago... he still couldn't help but be shocked after hearing this.

Because this woman was the Demon Ancestor he had truly offended and with whom he had spent a very long time.

Once this woman learns of his 'identity' and discovers his existence, she will certainly not let him off easily.

Wei Tu wanted to ask more questions about the Weeping River Demon Lord.

Unfortunately, Lady Wanmiao was too low in cultivation level and knew little about this suddenly appearing 'Demon Ancestor'. After a few brief exchanges, she could no longer offer any useful information.

……

As a popular spiritual cultivation site among the Demon Lords of the Victory Glory Realm, the 'Hundred Spirits Demon Realm' naturally has more than one site existing over time.

The "Hundred Spirits Market" built near this "spiritual retreat site" is also quite famous.

After riding the 'ultra-long-distance teleportation array' with the old man with the horse face and Madam Wanmiao, Wei Tu arrived at this place with the two in less than half a month.

We have just arrived at this place.

Inside the market, the terrifying pressure emanating from the Demon Lord caused his expression to freeze.

“At least... fifty Demon Lords, and no fewer than two cultivators at the late stage of Demon Lord level.” After a cursory glance, Wei Tu clicked his tongue in surprise, slightly shocked.

Keep in mind that this is the number of Demon Lords before the 'Hundred Spirits Demon Realm' was opened. Once it is truly opened, the number of Demon Lords coming to this place will probably double!
"The number of powerful beings in this realm is far greater than I imagined." Wei Tu glanced at the demon lords in the market and discovered some unfamiliar beings among them, whose auras were much more obscure and ancient than those of the other demon lords.

These are clearly the ancient demon lords who 'secluded' themselves in the cultivation world, avoiding the world altogether.

These people have lost interest in fame and fortune in the cultivation world. Only a chance encounter with a celestial realm like the 'Hundred Spirits Demon Realm' can attract them to leave their caves and appear in the mortal world.

"Master Kou Dan?" Just as Wei Tu was observing, a soft voice suddenly rang in his ear.

"The Demon Lord of Pitying Centipede?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tu was slightly startled and looked up towards the depths of the market, towards the gray pavilion shrouded in layers of restrictions.

That is where this divine voice came from.

The next moment, the graceful figure of the Demon Lord Lianwu flew out from the gray pavilion and arrived gracefully in front of Wei Tu.

"I never expected that Master Kou Dan would also come to this place by chance..." Demon Lord Lianwu glanced at the horse-faced old man and Madam Wanmiao who were following Wei Tu, and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu thought for a moment and then suddenly realized what was going on.

Back then, Gong Shulan was brought from the Sheng Guang Realm to the Primordial Demon Source Realm by the Demon Lord Lianwu...

The reason this demon traveled thousands of miles across realms to reach the 'Shengguang Realm' is, unsurprisingly, related to the opportunities in the 'Hundred Spirits Demon Realm'.

Therefore, it was almost inevitable that he would encounter the Demon Lord Lianwu in this place.

"When I was chasing the Night Fish Demon Lord and searching for his whereabouts... I happened to learn that there was also this 'Hundred Spirits Demon Realm' within the Sheng Guang Realm..." Wei Tu raised an eyebrow slightly and casually explained with a calm expression.

That's why.

The Demon Lord Lianwu nodded slightly, seemingly believing Wei Tu's words and having no doubts about him.

"Fellow Daoist Kou, your timing is perfect. I am currently attending a private trade fair in Bailingfang with a few other fellow Daoists... If Fellow Daoist Kou does not mind, you may come with me."

The Demon Lord Lianwu pondered for a moment, then pointed her slender finger at the gray pavilion and extended an invitation to Wei Tu with a slight glint in her beautiful eyes.

"This..." Upon hearing this, the old man with the horse face and Madam Wanmiao, who were standing to the side, also showed some interest.

However, since the Demon Lord Lianwu had not invited them, the two of them could not take the initiative to request it, lest they tarnish their own reputation.

Secondly, not all demon lords are the same.

In terms of cultivation level, they were not much different from the Demon Lord Lianwu, but the Demon Lord Lianwu was a renowned seventh-order puppet master in the 'Primordial Demon Source Realm'... In terms of status, he was several levels higher than these ordinary demon lords.

"Of course, if you two fellow Daoists also wish to participate, you may also accompany Fellow Daoist Kou..." Demon Lord Lianwu smiled faintly, subtly praising Wei Tu.

The implication was clear: the two of them only had the opportunity to join this 'private trade fair' because of Wei Tu's connections.

"Then the three of us will trouble Fellow Daoist Lianwu."

Seeing this, Wei Tu hesitated for a moment before agreeing with a cupped hand.

"There's no need for such formalities between us."

The Demon Lord Lianwu smiled charmingly, glanced at Wei Tu with a suggestive look, and then swayed her slender waist as she led the way.

After a while.

Led by the Demon Lord Lianwu, Wei Tu and his two companions successfully entered the inconspicuous gray attic.

However, upon entering the place, its grandeur and vastness completely captivated them.

Its vastness, like a grand palace, far surpasses the narrow pavilions outside.

However, the number of demon lords inside was unusually 'scarce', with only seven, which was indeed worthy of the 'private trading meeting' mentioned by Demon Lord Lianwu.

only--

Among these seven demon lords, the appearances of several of them once again greatly shocked Wei Tu.

Like the Demon Lord Lianwu, he was also one of his 'old acquaintances'.

However, among them, only one person had a past relationship with him; the rest of the people had never met him before.

"The Remnant Kite Demon Lord, the Illusion Arm Demon Lord, and... the Purple Blood Demon Lord's Daoist partner 'Gongman'..."

"Three of the four Demon Lords of the Black Mist Swamp have arrived."

Wei Tu frowned slightly, never expecting to encounter these three people by such a fortuitous coincidence in this other world. (End of Chapter)
