I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

However, even though they are all 'living Buddhas', they can all transmit their cultivation to others...

However, Wei Tu did not believe that the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor would make this 'mistake' and easily pass on the cultivation of this first incarnation 'corpse' to outsiders.

—The monk who had been suffering from asceticism had the idea of ​​finding a successor, but the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor was only doing so for his own 'resurrection', which is why he refined the 'corpse' of the first incarnation into the 'flesh Buddha' used for the inheritance of his sect.

"No matter what, we have to give it a try."

Like Wei Tu, Fairy Xuanling also realized that their discovery of the 'Mystic Ice Coffin' was just the beginning, and it was far from time to celebrate it.

She took a deep breath and said in a serious tone.

"Although this woman is a 'corpse,' the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor is an ancient demon ancestor in the ancient demon realm that even demon gods have to be wary of... Once the coffin is opened, with the power of this corpse, the two of us may not be able to deal with it easily."

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu was not in a hurry. Instead, he spoke with great apprehension.

because.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances.

The immense power of this 'female corpse' must be the 'fourth trial' that Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor used to conceal his 'first incarnation' corpse in order to deal with external enemies!
His strength is extraordinary.

He is probably on par with top Mahayana cultivators in the Spirit Realm, such as the Old Peng Emperor and the Old Ape Emperor.

Moreover, if this 'female corpse' were to possess a spirit, its power might be greatly enhanced by the advantageous location of the 'Bao Ri Divine Pagoda' underground palace. After all... outside this cave, there is also the 'living Buddha' transformed from the monk who had endured suffering...

It's hard to say whether this 'female corpse' can 'awaken' the ascetic monk's 'living Buddha' to fight the enemy.

Xuanling Fairy had never met the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor in person, but she had fought against him once and knew how treacherous, ruthless, and merciless he was.

"What Fellow Daoist Wei means is..." Upon hearing this, Fairy Xuanling immediately realized the truth of the matter and calmed down.

“Once the fairy has fully recovered from her injuries, we will choose another place to open this ‘mysterious ice coffin’.”

Wei Tu's eyes flashed, and he pondered for a moment.

"This..." Upon hearing this, Fairy Xuanling hesitated for a moment, because this 'female corpse' was the 'flesh Buddha' transformed from the first incarnation of the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor, and its value was far beyond that of ordinary treasures.

If the coffin is opened at this moment, she and Wei Tu will all get a share.

But if... we go to the outside world, who will keep this treasure safe?

She had no shortage of trust in Wei Tu.

However, the cultivation level contained within this 'female corpse' could very well be enough to directly create a powerful expert at the Great Ascension Perfection Realm!
Such a treasure is enough to make anyone disregard the cost of betrayal.

She wouldn't take that risk lightly.

“Very well, since that’s the case, the ‘Mysterious Ice Coffin’ will be opened immediately after you and I leave the ‘Precious Sun Divine Tower’…” Seeing this, Wei Tu was not surprised. After all, it is difficult to establish unconditional trust among cultivators of the same level. He paused for a moment before proposing this compromise.

Xuanling Fairy had no further objections to this suggestion.

It seemed that he was confident that even with his 'heavily injured body,' he would not have difficulty fighting against Wei Tu, a cultivator who was still in his prime.

only--

Just as the two of them were preparing to make their move, attempting to break through the restrictions on the surface of the 'Mystic Ice Coffin' and move it out.

A demonic consciousness, as if it had suddenly locked onto the two of them, tilted out from inside the coffin.

Immediately afterwards, the female corpse lying quietly in the 'mysterious ice coffin' seemed to move suddenly, her exquisite, white body, completely naked, moved.

Her right hand moved slightly, as if she were performing a magic hand seal.

"Oh no! This corpse is about to awaken." Upon seeing this, Wei Tu's expression changed slightly, realizing that the worst-case scenario he had feared had finally occurred.

The Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor, who hid the body of his first incarnation here, did not leave things unprepared.

The awakening of its corpse, and the immense power it contained from its first life... were enough to deal with, and even kill, any cultivator who attempted to enter this place.

And it was also under the influence of the 'female corpse's' hand gesture.

The next moment, the extremely simple cave, which resembled a roughly carved grotto, was suddenly covered with demonic runes on its empty 'stone walls,' densely packed like flying ants, filling the entire cave.

Beneath these countless demonic runes, dozens of black chains shot out from the stone walls, heading straight for Wei Tu and Fairy Xuanling.

All of this, from the moment they entered the cave and discovered the 'female corpse' in the ice coffin, took less than a moment.

Even more terrifying is...

It seemed to possess a spirit, ignoring the 'Undying Demon Body's' exploration of it, and only began to act after Wei Tu and Fairy Xuanling appeared.

"Oh no, an anti-air formation!"

At the same time, just as Wei Tu was about to make his move and once again use the 'Heaven-Shifting Array' of the [Heaven-Shifting Demon Palace] to escape from the cave, the demonic runes on the cave wall flickered slightly, and the 'array gate' of the [Heaven-Shifting Demon Palace] that he had placed outside instantly became ineffective.

Instantly, this simple cave dwelling was transformed into a 'prison' that imprisoned him and Fairy Xuanling.

Xu Jin is in deep trouble!

"As expected, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor is not so simple. He dared to place this 'corpse' inside the 'Treasure Sun Divine Tower' without fear of outsiders stealing it... He must have already thought of a way to deal with it." Wei Tu's face was slightly ugly, as if he realized that he had fallen into the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's trap.

Similarly, Fairy Xuanling was even more alarmed and uncertain about this perilous situation.

Without hesitation, he pointed forward and immediately summoned the bronze sword containing the power to transcend tribulation. In an instant, he severed the black chains that were flying towards him and slashed straight at the female corpse inside the ice coffin.

This moment.

It seems that he also pushed the power of this 'small bronze sword' to its limit.

The sword trembled slightly, and layers of pale blue sword energy surged and surged, carrying the powerful pressure of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. With a rustling sound, it slashed straight down.

Click!Click!
A crystal-clear sword mark instantly appeared in the 'Mystic Ice Coffin', piercing through the body of the coffin and landing on the 'female corpse'.

But at that very moment, the naked 'female corpse' suddenly gained a layer of shimmering jade light, making her flawless and like a white jade statue.

Immediately afterwards, she slightly raised her hand, and in the blink of an eye, two fingers landed on the tip of the 'bronze dagger'.

It seems that with this, this tribulation-crossing sword can be easily subdued.

However, at this moment, Fairy Xuanling seemed to have anticipated this scene.

With a slight movement of his lips, he uttered the word "swift," and the bronze sword vanished instantly before the female corpse's fingers, reappearing out of thin air at her chest.

Then, in a flash of blue light, it pierced through!
The strange thing is...

At this moment, although the 'female corpse' had more wounds, it seemed as if it had not suffered much damage, and the shimmering glow on the corpse remained unchanged.

From the visible wound, a thick, honey-like, blood-like liquid oozed out.

The moment these 'liquids' seeped from his body, the entire cavern filled with fragrance.

At this moment, Wei Tu could even faintly feel the elation in his soul and the boiling of his internal magical power.

“This honey liquid… is the life's cultivation of the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor!” Wei Tu’s eyes lit up, and he immediately realized that his and Fairy Xuanling’s guess was correct.

This 'female corpse' is indeed the 'fleshly Buddha' transformed from the first incarnation of the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor, and her cultivation can indeed be passed on to others through 'initiation'.

However, at this moment, Fairy Xuanling's face was unusually solemn.

After all, that strike was her full-force attack, and it even contained a trace of magical power left by Emperor Jianyuan within the 'Bronze Sword'.

However, it has not worked...

Clearly, this 'female corpse' is far more troublesome than an ordinary Mahayana practitioner could handle.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, run!"

With this thought in mind, Fairy Xuanling no longer hesitated. She flipped her hand, and the 'small bronze sword' reappeared in her palm once again.

However, this time, her sword was no longer aimed at the 'female corpse in the coffin,' but at the layers of demonic runes that sealed off the void of this cave.

In an instant, he swung his sword again.

That sword beam was dazzling, shooting straight into the heavens, instantly severing the dense array of 'demon runes' that imprisoned the void at waist level.

At the same time, the gray hole that had been closed and connected to the outside world was revealed again by this sword.

The next moment, almost at the same time that Fairy Xuanling unleashed her sword strike and told Wei Tu to flee, she also vanished from the cave in the blink of an eye.

Even in the underground palace outside, it is difficult to find any trace of this woman anymore.

But Wei Tu was not in a hurry. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance at the disappearing figure of Fairy Xuanling.

"Twice, it seems that Fairy Xuanling... is also nearing the end of her life." He thought to himself.

Previously, after the battle between Mr. Yun Jun and Mr. Shen Xiang, Fairy Xuan Ling had told him about her 'true and false' nature.

He once stated frankly that with his remaining magical power, he could only use that 'small bronze sword' twice more.

Now, it is clear that his two all-out attacks have been exhausted.

It was used once to deal with the female corpse in the coffin.

Once, it was used to cut off a path for those escaping to the outside world...

However, this demeanor also seems to indirectly indicate a lack of trust in him.

Unlike his previous serious injuries, these two times his 'foundation' was exhausted, and this woman truly had no means left to defend herself against him.

Of course, this is normal; no monk would entrust his safety to the 'pity' of others.

The fact that he was able to tell him to escape before leaving was already a great recognition of him.

However, perhaps because Wei Tu hesitated for a moment, he did not escape in time like Fairy Xuanling.

At this moment, the 'female corpse in the coffin' who had just been severely injured by Fairy Xuanling seemed to have finally come to her senses.

Her pink lips moved slightly, like the 'living Buddha' transformed from a monk who had been saved from suffering, chanting Buddhist hymns.

'Om!'
Instantly, the void trembled, and Wei Tu, who wanted to escape from this place, was once again imprisoned by the 'anti-air formation' of this place.

But Wei Tu reacted quickly at this time.

After a flash of surprise and doubt across his face, he flicked his sleeve and immediately summoned several spiritual treasures, which he then used to bombard the 'path to life' that Fairy Xuanling had just cut open.

Although most of these magical treasures were seventh-tier or some were incomplete eighth-tier treasures, the terrifying power of their self-destruction when they bombarded the 'gray hole' caused the cave to rumble and tremble violently.

At the same time, a bamboo ruler crackling with rolling lightning emerged from his sleeve and struck directly at the 'female corpse in the coffin'.

However, its speed and power seem to be far inferior to Fairy Xuanling's 'Bronze Sword'.

In the blink of an eye.

He was immediately pinned in front of him by the slender finger extended from the 'female corpse in the coffin'.

But at that moment, something shocking happened.

In that instant, the lightning on the 'bamboo lightning ruler' suddenly intensified, and then the runes on its surface also began to radiate spiritual light...

At this moment, the 'female corpse' seemed to have sensed something, and her expression changed slightly. She made another hand seal, as if preparing to escape from the 'mysterious ice coffin'.

But at that moment, it was all too late.

With a tremendous roar, the "Mystic Ice Coffin," which had already been damaged by the "Bronze Sword," was completely shattered.

The 'female corpse' at the center of the self-destruction of this Tongtian Lingbao was even more tragic. Her 'jade body,' which emitted a shimmering, clear light and resembled a white jade statue, was covered with hideous wounds, and her white bones were faintly visible.

The thick, honey-like liquid, resembling blood plasma, continued to flow uncontrollably from the wound.

However, at this moment, the 'female corpse' still maintained that expressionless face, devoid of joy or sorrow.

Holding the monk's robe and the two palm leaves engraved with mysterious Buddhist scriptures in his arms, he flashed and appeared behind Wei Tu.

Then, with a slight lift of her jade-like hand, her slender, white fingers pierced through Wei Tu's head.

Click!Click!
Instantly, Wei Tu, who was casting the spell, seemed to have lost his soul, and his magical body shattered into pieces.

The magical treasures he had summoned also completely lost control at that moment and fell directly from the sky.

Seeing this scene.

The 'female corpse' seemed relieved and quickly began to heal herself by making hand seals.

However, not long after she made her move, she seemed to realize something, and her serene and peaceful pink face finally couldn't help but look at Wei Tu's dead 'body'.

It seemed as if there was doubt: how could a dignified Mahayana master die so easily?

But this suspicion didn't last long.

The next moment, her expression changed drastically. She looked in disbelief at the wounds on her body that had suddenly turned black and were radiating a strange power.

It was like a 'venomous snake,' constantly eroding her power.

And at this moment.

A beam of five-colored light suddenly flashed out from within this extremely simple cave dwelling.

It spread rapidly toward the female corpse from the 'gray hole' as the origin.

In an instant, under this 'Soul Devouring Law', the 'shimmering radiance' on the female corpse began to fade rapidly, as if it had been stripped away by this powerful force.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into my cave?"

"You still dare to lay a hand on my corpse today?"

At this moment, the 'female corpse' who had been looking bewildered and uncertain finally broke her silence, and a clear, bell-like, and exceptionally pleasant voice came from her pink lips.

Clearly, the multicolored lamplight and the venomous 'spiritual poison' posed a significant threat to him. (End of Chapter)
