I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Whether this woman is bold or truly in control of the overall situation, it indirectly proves that she is no ordinary demon lord or a common person.

"Bluefish roe..."

Wei Tu murmured to himself, reciting the woman's most likely real name in his heart.

……

Meanwhile, Madam Wanmiao was unaware that in just this short time, Wei Tu had already deduced the cause and effect of the trip to the Rebirth Realm from these 'clues' and knew why she had discovered her true name.

However, even if she knew, she wouldn't care too much, except for being a little wary of it.

The fact that she could so easily reveal Wei Tu's 'real name' means that she herself didn't care much about this information.

Whether inside or outside the Rebirth Realm, strength is the most crucial factor!
Whether someone is smart or not is not an important variable.

At least, it hasn't reached the point of affecting the overall situation.

"Since Lady Wanmiao is a cultivator of the Qilin Fire God Clan, just like Fellow Daoist Huoshi... then Fellow Daoist Lianwu will have to take on the task of exploring the secret chamber and the blood pool..."

At the same time, various schemes flashed through the minds of the three demon lords, including the Phantom Arm Demon Lord. Just as the Pity Centipede Demon Lord had predicted, they immediately and forcibly assigned this 'suicide mission' to the Pity Centipede Demon Lord.

only.

Before they could finish speaking, the Demon Lord Lianwu took the lead, and with a cold laugh, he vanished into the secret chamber.

It did not give the Phantom Arm Demon Lord and others more opportunities to coerce them.

After all, there is a world of difference between voluntarily entering and being forced to enter by others.

In a weaker position, there is a considerable chance that one's soul will be controlled first, and then one will be forced into this secret chamber.

At present, although this woman's actions are quite risky, she has also taken control of her own life!

however--

Good times are not long.

The next moment, that terrifying scene reappeared.

Like the puppets that had scouted ahead, the Demon Lord Lianwu, who had entered the secret chamber, seemed to be under some strange spiritual control. The moment he stepped into the chamber, the light he had transformed into immediately stopped in mid-air...

At the same time, her pretty face instantly became lifeless, and she numbly walked step by step towards the blood pool at the very center...

However, when we reached the middle of the journey...

The Demon Lord Lianwu also seemed to have broken free from control and regained control of his physical body. He took a step back in alarm, preparing to flee.

Unfortunately, the 'blood pool' also changed at this moment. After boiling slightly and raising a faint blood mist, the woman returned to her numb and controlled state. She walked step by step to the vicinity of the blood pool, and then plunged into it, being completely swallowed up.

“It’s soul power at the level of a Demon Ancestor…” Madam Wanmiao narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly and made a judgment.

Unlike the puppets used to test and controlled for a moment, the Demon Lord Lianwu, who had entered the secret chamber to test the 'secrets' of the blood pool, had clearly stirred up the most primal power deep within the blood pool during his struggle!
"As expected, the remnant souls of those immortals from the Radiant Realm are hidden deep within this blood pool." Upon seeing this, the Illusionary Arm Demon Lord said this with a slightly unpleasant expression.

"It's just a remnant soul. If we're prepared, resisting its control... isn't difficult." Madam Wanmiao smiled faintly, her beautiful eyes looking at Venerable Huoshi, who stood beside her like a servant.

"Yes, ma'am."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Huoshi nodded casually and, with a flick of his hand, produced a miniature jade pavilion, about the size of a palm and shaped like a white jade carving.

This miniature jade pavilion has two floors, and its aura is exactly the same as that of the gray pavilion where Wei Tu was 'imprisoned' before he entered the Hundred Spirits Demon Realm.

“The Heavenly Mystery House.” Wei Tu’s gaze sharpened, realizing that this treasure must be the Heavenly Mystery House that the Demon Lord Lianwu had mentioned, the supreme treasure from the Qilin Fire God Clan.

This treasure can see through the illusion of Yin and Yang and discern one's cultivation level... Therefore, it must be at least a supreme treasure of the eighth rank or higher!

Similarly, such treasures are naturally more than capable of fighting against the 'remnant soul of the Demon Ancestor' deep within this blood pool.

On the other side, after listening to Madam Wanmiao's words, the Illusionary Arm Demon Lord frowned slightly, took out a ghost-headed golden umbrella with a sinister demonic aura, and placed it on his head.

Gongman and Canyuan Demon Lord, who were traveling with him, also shrank without hesitation, turning into tiny creatures that landed on the shoulders of Huanbi Demon Lord.

Clearly, this 'Ghost Head Golden Umbrella' was the treasure that the three members of the Illusion Arm Demon Lord used to resist the 'Demon Ancestor's Remnant Soul'.

Although this umbrella is not as dazzling as the 'Heavenly Secrets Spiritual House', it seems to possess other supernatural abilities and is also an extremely rare treasure.

At this point, only Wei Tu, the lone wolf, remained standing alone, seemingly helpless against the remnant soul of the Demon Ancestor within the secret chamber.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, would you like to join me in this 'Heavenly Mystery Spiritual Chamber' once again?" Madam Wanmiao smiled faintly and extended an invitation to Wei Tu.

Upon entering the Hundred Spirits Demon Realm, she and Wei Tu were both 'prisoners', and were kept under house arrest by Venerable Huoshi on the second floor of the 'Heavenly Mystery Spirit House'.

"That won't be necessary." Upon seeing this, Wei Tu's expression turned slightly cold as he directly refused.

Outside the Realm of Rebirth, Madam Wanmiao and Venerable Huoshi, preoccupied with their grand plan to enter the Realm of Rebirth, treated him merely as an ordinary seventh-level alchemist under house arrest and did not pursue the matter further...

If he were to listen to this woman now, he would likely be forcibly controlled by her the moment he entered the 'Heavenly Mystery House' and search for the rare treasure, the [Boundary-Severing Stone].

"But what about the Phantom Arm Demon Lord..."

Wei Tu frowned. He could clearly see that the three Phantom Arm Demon Lords were not welcoming to him, after all, he was now a 'discarded pawn' that could be used and then discarded.

Secondly, the three Phantom Arm Demon Lords only said that they would not deal with him or attack him in the 'Hundred Spirits Demon Realm', but they never said that they would protect him after he decided to take the risk.

In his view, he could easily avoid entering this 'secret room'.

Unfortunately, having been targeted by Madam Wanmiao, he had no chance of avoiding this dangerous place.

There is absolutely no way this woman would leave him alone outside the secret room.

“The remnant soul of the Demon Ancestor should still be unable to control me…” Wei Tu’s consciousness was immersed deep in his mind as he glanced at his golden-purple destiny.

If it were a direct contest of soul and magical power, he might not be a match for the remnant soul of the Demon Ancestor, but... it's only a matter of 'soul power control,' which is one level lower than possession. With his golden and purple destiny, he should be fearless.

Therefore, after pondering for a moment, he immediately flicked his sleeves and took out the jade slip containing the "Corpse Stiffness Secret Technique" that he had obtained from the Purple-Faced Hermit.

This bamboo slip is a creation of immortals, and its combined form is indestructible.

While it may not possess any remarkable power, it is sufficient to intimidate people and conceal the golden-purple destiny within his sea of ​​consciousness at this moment.

However, this very action caused the Illusionary Arm Demon Lord to give him a deep look.

His expression seemed to say that he was indeed unfathomable.

……

"Since Alchemist Kou is prepared, then how about Alchemist Kou goes first to enter the secret chamber?"

However, just as Wei Tu was 'preparing', suddenly, a voice as clear as a silver bell, with a half-smile, came from Madam Wanmiao's mouth.

But Wei Tu was not particularly surprised by this.

His only value to this woman lay in the [Boundary-Severing Stone] in his possession.

Although this item could threaten this woman's 'weak point,' before the right moment arrives... the threat level of this 'weak point' is negligible.

Similarly, by possessing the [Boundary-Severing Stone], he has also become someone this woman needs to be wary of...

They will not miss any opportunity to test the depth of his strength!

However, this was not entirely a bad thing for him.

In a sense, the king of the Crimson Feathered Ghost Insects was something he was determined to obtain, and he would not allow either Lady Wanmiao or Venerable Huanbi to get there first.

Now, by getting in first, you might be able to take it all in.

Moreover, he was very fortunate that, unlike the Demon Lord Lianwu, he did not have the worry of his soul being controlled, even though he was threatened to go first.

after all--

Of the remaining five, only Lady Wanmiao had not sworn a blood oath with him, and this woman... was someone he and he both feared.

They might pressure him, but not to the point of driving him to the brink of despair.

Furthermore, the dangers within became much more 'controllable' after the Demon Lord Lianwu scouted ahead.

Now, Madam Wanmiao's threat to let him go first is more of a test of his strength.

Upon hearing this, the Illusionary Arm Demon Lord's eyes flashed, and he fell silent.

He was also curious about Wei Tu's abilities.

"I should not refuse your kind invitation, Madam, but if I were to make any mistake and be swallowed by this blood pool, thus losing my treasure... that would not be a good thing."

After a flash of thought, Wei Tu, though prepared to enter the secret room first, outwardly changed his expression slightly and replied with an extremely unfriendly tone.

The implication is quite clear.

If something unforeseen happens, he wouldn't mind giving the [Boundary Stone] he has to someone else!
"Master Kou is not a kind person, but it doesn't necessarily mean he will die here..." Madam Wan Miao's expression remained unchanged as she continued to chuckle, showing no sign of being frightened by Wei Tu's threat.

Seeing this, Wei Tu thought to himself, "As expected," and immediately abandoned his little scheme.

As he expected, a person as 'bold and meticulous' as Madam Wanmiao was difficult for him to threaten before her tangible interests were threatened.

—He was certain that he would not hand over the [Boundary-Severing Stone] to the Illusionary Arm Demon Lord and others simply to threaten him.

His tricks might be able to threaten some naive and foolish people, but they are far from effective against cunning and shrewd individuals like Madam Wanmiao.

His expression shifted between light and dark for a moment.

Without wasting any more time, Wei Tu took a deep breath and immediately transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the rather dangerous secret room before him.

We have just entered this place.

Soon, before he could even get a foothold, that invisible 'Demon Ancestor Soul Power' invaded his sea of ​​consciousness just as it had invaded the Venerable Centipede before.

However, in that instant, under the golden light of the Golden Purple Fate, this 'Demon Ancestor Soul Power' immediately dissipated like snow melting in spring.

Of course, this 'Demon Ancestor's Soul Power' is only the beginning.

After dissipating this 'Demon Ancestor Soul Power', Wei Tu's sea of ​​consciousness was once again frantically attacked by other 'Demon Ancestor Soul Powers'.

However, under the protection of the Golden Purple Destiny, no matter how many times they rushed forward, they could not shake Wei Tu's spirit.

"blocked?"

"The Demon Ancestor's soul power was blocked by him!"

Outside the secret chamber, the Illusionary Arm Demon Lord, Lady Myriad Wonders, and Venerable Firestone, who witnessed this scene, all secretly thought, "As expected."

But soon, their expressions faltered slightly.

Because the scene changed too quickly, they didn't even see how the jade slip, which seemed to be a 'celestial artifact', above Wei Tu's head resisted the Demon Ancestor's soul power.

The plan to probe Wei Tu's true strength failed instantly.

"No, what's certain is that the jade slip is undoubtedly a rare treasure!" For a moment, the eyes of the group looking at the jade slip above Wei Tu's head revealed a hint of greed.

"Let's go!" At this moment, Madam Wanmiao no longer hesitated. After nodding to Venerable Huoshi, she immediately flicked her pink sleeve and flew into the 'Heavenly Mystery Spirit House' with him, riding the treasure into the secret chamber.

The Illusionary Arm Demon Lord also acted in the same way, not lagging behind at all, and entered the secret chamber with his eerie 'golden ghost-head umbrella'.

However, compared to Wei Tu's 'ease', the commotion caused by the Demon Ancestor's soul power attack was inevitably greater.

After all, they were truly locked in a fierce battle with these 'Demon Ancestor Soul Powers'!
at this moment.

Wei Tu gradually approached the secret chamber, the 'blood pool'.

However, he did not rush to step into the blood pool. Instead, he used telepathy to tell the Crimson Feather Ghost Insect King to fly towards his direction.

Strangely, at this moment, the Crimson Feathered Ghost Insect King showed no intention of communicating with him through divine sense.

Instead, upon seeing Wei Tu approaching, it became anxious again, frantically flapping its wings and flying away in the other direction of the blood pool, showing no intention of getting 'close' to Wei Tu.

At the same time, there was no trace of the divine consciousness that Wei Tu was familiar with on its insect body.

Seeing this, Wei Tu's gaze gradually turned cold, realizing that things were slowly developing in the direction he least wanted to see...

From the very beginning, the one he communicated with was not the king of the Crimson Feathered Ghost Insects, but rather a remnant soul or consciousness hidden in this secret chamber or blood pool.

That's why she didn't tell him about the dangers inside the 'secret room,' deceiving him instead.

The reason they deliberately led him closer and into this 'secret chamber' earlier was probably simply because they felt he had a 'weak point' that they could exploit, and that he was the weakest among all the ancient demons...

Now that they see him easily dispelling the 'Demon Ancestor's Soul Power' and breaking free from its control, they dare not approach him anymore, and they don't even dare to communicate with him.

Of course, it's also possible that he's lost interest in him after acquiring the new "Centipede Demon Lord"...

"Who exactly is that divine sense?" Wei Tu narrowed his eyes, took a half-step back, and gazed intently at the 'blood pool' that covered dozens of feet and seemed bottomless. (End of Chapter)
