I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

This statement undoubtedly confirmed Wei Tu's guess.

There has never been any such thing as the creation of the world by the 'Demon Immortal'. This lie is a huge lie told to him by the secret ancestor in order to explain the existence of the 'Underworld Sea of ​​the Dead Infant'.

Fortunately, he noticed this clue in time while he was with this demonic rat, and was not deceived further.

"However, I don't understand why Senior Sister Qibao has been reincarnated in the cultivation world so many times since she has such a treasure land... With the foundation of this treasure land, it should be able to help Senior Sister Qibao break through the Tribulation Transcending Realm."

Could it be—

Wei Tu's eyes flashed, and seeing that the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor did not want to discuss the matter of 'demon immortals and immortal descendants' too deeply, he immediately changed the subject and directly asked the biggest question that was hidden in his heart.

According to the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor, to ascend to the Immortal Realm, one must obtain the 'Holy Edict' from the celestial envoy of the Upper Realm, only then can one cross the 'Bridge to Immortality' that has been severed in this realm...

The problem is that this shouldn't prevent the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor from advancing to the Tribulation Transcending Realm... or rather, only after he transcends the tribulation will he be qualified to try and seize the possibility of ascending to the Immortal Realm.

No one would be foolish enough to keep their spiritual level at the Mahayana stage indefinitely.

Unless, his cultivation level is stuck at the Mahayana stage, it is for another purpose... as he had previously guessed by chance, it is closely related to the "Demon Immortal Inheritance"?
Of course, there is another possibility.

Within this 'Slaying Netherworld,' there was no 'Crossing Tribulation Immortal Fate' as he had imagined. After all, what was taken away here was only the 'Immortal Soul' of those who had transcended the Great Ascension and Tribulation, which might only be of great benefit to the cultivation of a cultivator's soul.

If that's the case...

He arrived at the 'Netherworld' and narrowly discovered the 'truth' within... but what he gained there will likely be somewhat disappointing.

"This place is mysterious and profound. Junior Brother Wei is welcome to come and see for himself. There is no need for me to elaborate..."

However, upon hearing this, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor glanced deeply at Wei Tu without saying anything more. With a flick of his jade sleeve, he instantly captured Wei Tu's 'splitting soul' floating within the Black Mountain and placed it on the Execution Platform.

The next moment, what came into Wei Tu's divided soul's view was no longer a corner of the scenery within the 'spatial rift', but the entire 'Execution Platform'.

Wei Tu, witnessing this scene, was also greatly surprised. After suppressing his shock, he immediately focused his mind and immersed himself in the 'splitting soul', carefully observing this 'creation of an immortal'.

This place, or rather the 'inner realm' of the Netherworld, is not wide, only a few miles in circumference.

Its boundary wall was covered with a pale golden barrier, and one could faintly see the 'scenery of another world' that connected to it.

Within this 'inner realm', the most important 'Execution Platform' is, as he had seen before, a majestic platform... However, beneath the platform flows a turbid, yellow-water-like river.

Compared to the vastness of the 'Nether River' outside, the 'Nether River' here is much narrower, and it also appears quite crowded due to the constant wailing of the 'wandering souls'.

However, what's truly amazing is...

After the waters of the Nether River flowed past the Execution Platform, a three-legged jade cauldron, about ten feet in size and entirely milky white, located on the banks of the Nether River, began to produce drops of rather viscous black liquid.

Wei Tu recognized this item as the "Six-Armed Evil Immortal's Soul-Cleansing Ointment" that he had previously obtained from the "Six-Armed Evil Immortal".

However, at this very moment, just as his divided soul and divine sense attempted to probe over and find out what was going on, he also...

Suddenly, an incredibly terrifying 'evil thought' locked onto him at that moment.

It was as if the owner of that 'evil thought' would kill him without hesitation the moment he touched it.

And, more than that.

At this moment, the void surrounding the 'three-legged jade cauldron' was filled with dense and exceptionally powerful 'immortal restrictions', protecting the jade cauldron from destruction by this 'outsider'.

“No wonder this woman would cleanse her soul in the waters of the Nether River outside the ‘Execution Platform’…” Wei Tu narrowed his eyes and understood.

The immortal's work is no small feat. According to his estimation, even someone at the Tribulation Transcending Realm would have some difficulty breaking through this 'Immortal Restriction'... let alone a mere 'Mahayana' like the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor.

Moreover, even if this 'immortal barrier' is broken, the 'evil creature' guarding this 'three-legged jade cauldron', such as the 'six-armed evil immortal' within Black Mountain, will not let go of anyone who wants to steal this treasure.

In short, this woman only has the right to enter this 'Slaying Netherworld'... she doesn't have the ability to completely possess it, let alone use it to reach the 'Tribulation Transcending Realm'.

"An aura similar to that of the fairy..."

Then, Wei Tu controlled his divided soul to close his eyes slightly, and in this 'Execution Platform' and this 'Inner Realm', he sensed a demonic immortal aura similar to that of the 'Undead Infant Nether Sea'.

It looked like it was 'sleeping', yet also like a 'living thing' gently throbbing.

If nothing unexpected happens, the reason why the wisp of the 'True Immortal Soul' of the 'Immortal Jin Cheng' who fled here back then has 'feigned death' is quite likely the work of this sleeping 'Demon Immortal'.

However, this is normal.

A dead 'demon fairy' cannot sustain the operation of this 'Slaying Netherworld' indefinitely.

"So... is Junior Brother Wei satisfied?"

At this moment, seeing that Wei Tu's divided soul had already withdrawn its divine sense and reopened its eyes, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor, dressed in a plain white dress, spoke again in a low voice.

“Since Senior Sister Qibao is closely related to this demon immortal, and can use this demon immortal to trap and kill a wisp of Jin Cheng Shangxian’s soul… it shouldn’t be difficult for her to use this ‘demon immortal’s power’ to obtain the treasures of this place, such as the ‘Six Purifying Soul Ointment’.” But at this moment, Wei Tu was still relentless and did not give in.

Upon hearing this, even the usually composed Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes, as if he hadn't expected Wei Tu to be so thoughtful and observant.

Even from just a glimpse, one can guess the general truth.

"I certainly don't lack the Six Purifying Soul Ointment, and I've even managed to acquire some of the 'Immortal Soul' that surpasses this treasure... However, such treasures are of little use to Junior Brother Wei today."

"At the very least, it will be difficult for Junior Brother Wei to break through the Tribulation Transcending Realm."

Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor gave a cold laugh.

"Not very useful?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tu raised an eyebrow slightly, vaguely guessing what was going on.

"Is it a 'Nine-Aperture Immortal Embryo'?" Wei Tu suddenly realized why this 'treasure' refined by the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor had such heaven-defying effects.

It turns out that it wasn't because the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor was too powerful, but because the 'Immortal Soul' used to refine this treasure originally belonged to a 'Mahayana Immortal' who had fallen in this world... and after passing through this 'Slaying Netherworld,' it became a 'pure and clean' substance that could help cultivators break through to Mahayana.

“However, since Junior Brother Wei has the ability to refine the ‘evil power’ of the Six-Armed Evil Immortal… that ‘Six-Armed Evil Immortal’ alone should be enough for Fellow Daoist Wei to break through several minor realms…” Suddenly, Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor said this, and a faint smile appeared on his jade face.

And after these words were spoken.

Wei Tu finally understood the real reason why the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor was being so 'generous' today—

They coveted his 'physical body' and wanted to use him to kill the six-armed evil immortal guarding the 'three-legged jade cauldron' and other 'evil spirits'.

In this way, it can be considered a win-win situation!
“But what this woman said is also true… Compared to the ‘Cold Marrow’ that can only be harvested once every twenty years in the Corpse Immortal Cave, the evil power of this ‘Six-Armed Evil Immortal’ is easier to obtain and more stable…” Wei Tu’s eyes flickered slightly as he pondered to himself.

Previously, when he was refining the evil power of the six-armed evil immortal contained in the 'Six Purifying Soul Ointment', he had considered this idea, but he dared not make such a decision or plan because of the 'Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor' spying on him and the fact that the Netherworld was too mysterious.

But now, with this woman as a guarantee of mutually beneficial cooperation, this world, and that "Six-Armed Evil Immortal," can also become his cultivation ground and cultivation elixir!
"After the 'Six-Armed Evil Immortal' dies, could this woman really have the ability... to steal the 'Three-Legged Jade Cauldron' under these heavy 'immortal restrictions'?" Wei Tu glanced at the 'Three-Legged Jade Cauldron' standing on the banks of the Youhe River and felt a pang of covetousness.

Without a doubt, this cauldron is the most precious treasure in this cultivation world, apart from his golden-purple destiny.

"I can agree to this condition, but the function of the formation at the bottom of the 'True Demon Blood Pool' in the Nether Sea of ​​the Dead Infant... Senior Sister Qibao must also tell me..."

After a pause, Wei Tu raised his conditions again.

This was also a point of confusion for him.

Unfortunately, while in the 'Sea of ​​the Dead Infant', in his haste to escape, he didn't get to personally experience the profound mystery of the 'Pool Bottom Formation' before being secretly taken out of the 'Sea of ​​the Dead Infant' by the old ancestor.

Furthermore, if it is said that the demon immortals were suppressed in this realm by 'immortals from the upper realm' to be used as materials for refining the 'Slaying Netherworld'...

Then why does the 'Sea of ​​the Dead Infant' formed from his dantian resemble a 'Secret Realm of Inheritance'?
"The Sea of ​​the Dead Infant? The Blood Pool of the True Demon? You've actually been to this place?" Upon hearing this, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor frowned again, seemingly surprised that Wei Tu's opportunities were both so abundant and so troublesome.

However, Wei Tu was not in a hurry at this time. After seeing that the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor seemed unwilling to speak frankly and accept this condition, he directly revealed his 'experience' of the battle hundreds of years ago.

"Purple Dragon Emperor... Phoenix Qing of the Ghost Phoenix Clan... Lady Jade Luo..."

Upon hearing this, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor, whose expression had changed several times, finally relented and revealed the function of the 'bottom pool formation'.

"The Great Resurrection Array..."

"But for the living, it can purify their bloodline..."

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu felt a chill run down his spine.

Once you enter the 'True Demon Blood Pool,' you are allowed to enter but not leave. He had previously thought it was a test for the 'Inheritance Secret Realm.'

In retrospect, it was merely a preparation by this 'demon fairy' to possess the 'intruder' and for her own resurrection.

And that 'Heaven-Mending Secret Technique'... is probably also a means to 'restrain' the person whose body has been possessed.

Fortunately, this 'demon fairy' only made preparations for the resurrection, not a real resurrection... Otherwise, his 'blood demon soul fragment' might not have been able to escape the 'sea of ​​the dead infant' at that time.

"However, this 'bottom pool formation' is a 'resurrection formation,' allowing entry but not exit... So how is Feng Qing able to control that formation? And why does he seem so familiar with it?"

Wei Tu was immediately alarmed.

Since the inheritance is fake, it is impossible for Feng Qing to have chosen the 'demon child' for this 'demon immortal' as the old ancestor secretly said.

"A masterpiece by an immortal..." Wei Tu narrowed his eyes, recalling the 'soul fragment' that Feng Qing had revealed in the Corpse Immortal Cave, which he had obtained from the immortal Jin Cheng.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Feng Qing's information about the 'Undead Infant Nether Sea' came from Immortal Jin Cheng!

Only this celestial being from the upper realm could have such a thorough understanding of the 'Demon Immortal' and the array formations it had set up.

……

After thinking things through, I realized the matter of the 'Dead Infant in the Underworld Sea'.

Next, Wei Tu patiently asked Qi Bao Mo Zu about other questions.

For example, why is it that over the years, only Jin Cheng Shangxian and Old Ancestor have come here, as if the 'Immortal Realm' has forgotten this cultivation world?

If it's because there's a fixed time for 'herb gathering'...

It's also unlikely that the 'Immortal Realm' would remain unmoved after Jin Cheng Shangxian and Tou Tou Lao Zu descended to the mortal realm for so long.

But unfortunately.

Even the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor couldn't understand this matter.

The Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's 'one incarnation' who was trapped by Wei Tu seems to be clear evidence of this matter.

Because, if the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor truly knew the reason why the 'Immortals of the Upper Realm' had only arrived in this cultivation world after so many years... he wouldn't have regarded the 'Precious Sun Divine Tower' as a hidden place to bury his 'one incarnation'.

When it was 'reincarnated', it was in the 'Secret Realm of Rebirth' in the Radiant Realm, rather than in the safer 'Inner Realm of the Netherworld'.

Half a day later.

After conversing with the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor and learning some secrets of the cultivation world from him, Wei Tu then controlled his divided soul to leave the inner world of the Netherworld and slowly retrieve it into his sea of ​​consciousness.

"With the three major clans controlling him during their tribulations, it's unlikely that Immortal Jin Cheng's 'True Immortal Remnant Soul' will be able to escape... The only threat is the elusive Old Ancestor who's been hiding out there..."

Wei Tu's eyes flickered slightly as he pondered his next plan.

With the potential of an 'immortal pill embryo', the cultivation of the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's 'one incarnation', and the evil power of the 'Six-Armed Evil Immortal' here... he already has almost all the resources he needs to break through to the late stage of Mahayana.

The only two things worth worrying about.

It refers to the 'Crossing Tribulation Immortal Fate' and the existence of the Old Ancestor, the demon rat from the upper realm.

If the latter were to infiltrate this 'Netherworld' and stumble upon him cultivating here... the outcome would be extremely unfavorable for him.

Fortunately, with the existence of that 'Demon Immortal Power' within this Netherworld, under normal circumstances, it wouldn't come here to 'seek death' as ​​easily as 'Jin Cheng Shangxian's' wisp of 'True Immortal Soul'.

However, this is something we must be wary of.

"However, continuing to restrain this rat with the 'Blood Demon Soul Split' seems feasible. If I can buy another five hundred years, I should also reach the late stage of the Mahayana realm... Not only will I be unafraid of this rat, but I might even be able to kill it..."

Wei Tu's mind raced as he secretly pondered.

Five hundred years is an extremely short time for an 'upper realm immortal' like the Old Ancestor, and it wouldn't arouse too much suspicion.

Thinking about what will happen next.

Wei Tu did not linger in this 'Slaying Netherworld' for long. After bowing to the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor who was far away in the 'Inner World', he flicked his sleeves and left this realm using a 'secret technique'.

Soon, the world before them changed again.

At this moment, what appeared before Wei Tu was still the same place where he had stayed with Pei Laogui.

Clearly, the spatial node that leaves the 'Slaying Netherworld' is different from the 'Sea of ​​the Dead Infant'. This 'secret realm' is not a place that can be directly entered from any region.

"I wonder if that old ghost Pei's divided soul has already perished... If he hasn't, and the secret has been revealed, that would be a troublesome matter..."

Several days later, after escaping the desolate mountain forest where he had been, Wei Tu finally stopped. His eyes flashed, and he raised his hand, forming a hand seal, using the 'Summoning the Netherworld God Technique' to summon a fragment of the Weeping River Demon Ancestor's soul. (End of Chapter)
