I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 703 Return to Da Cang, Old Enemies (4k2, please subscribe)

Wei Tu's luck is pretty good.

When he took the ultra-long-distance teleportation array from the Central Region of Da Yan to the Southern Region of Da Yan, the martial law order from the Lord of Bliss had been lifted. After a simple investigation, he successfully left from under the nose of the "Senluo Sect".

The Senluo Sect is the new force created by Lord Jile Shenhou after the deaths of the two alliance leaders Feng Yuan and Master Tiegui.

The former "Nine-Nation Alliance" and "Three Rivers Alliance" are now a thing of the past in the southern region of Dayan.

But it is obvious that the Lord of Bliss alone cannot control such a vast territory as the Southern Region of Great Yan.

After setting foot in the southern region of Great Yan, Wei Tu had more than once accidentally run into cultivators from the Xianling Dao, Yanhuang Sect and other central region forces gathering and meeting in secret.

There is a tense feeling as if a storm is about to come.

"Secluded for more than twenty years?" At the same time, Wei Tu also learned about the current situation of the Lord of Bliss.

This news was learned from the monks of Senluo Sect.

In order to maintain the current situation, the monks of the Senluo Sect have been secretly spreading the news that the Lord of Bliss is about to break through to the "mid-stage of transformation of the spirit" in order to consolidate people's hearts.

He was shocked at first. After all, there was the secret realm of the Royal Palace, and the Marquis of Bliss was his potential mortal enemy. If he broke through, it would be very disadvantageous to him... But after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but shook his head, thinking that the news was probably false, just a smokescreen.

——It’s not so easy to break through to the middle stage of Spirit Transformation!

If the plan of Lord Ji Le Shen Hou had gone smoothly before, and he and his master, Old Man Yin Gui, had obtained the legacies of the two great gods, Master Tiegui and Feng Yuan, then perhaps this would have been possible.

But after his intervention, the master and disciple missed out on the biggest trophy, Master Iron Turtle, and their chances were reduced by more than half. How could it be so easy for them to successfully break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation?

Furthermore, if Lord Ji Le Shen Hou really had the confidence to break through to the middle stage of the God Transformation, why would he deliberately spread this news?
Is he afraid that other gods will come and snatch the opportunity from him?

Normally, hiding in one's lair and making breakthroughs silently is the normal way to become a god.

"Could it be that he is deliberately setting up bait to attract other gods to come?" Wei Tu's eyes flashed, and he immediately thought of the process of Feng Yuan being jointly refined into a "human pill" by the Lord of Bliss and the Master of Hidden Ghosts.

If nothing unexpected happens, the "human pill" refined by the master and disciple of Ji Le Shen Hou should be of great benefit to the two of them as ghost cultivators in improving their cultivation.

It just so happened that the situation in the Southern Region was so tense that it was seen as fat meat that could be divided by the gods from other regions.

In other words - if any of the major sect's gods, or individual cultivators who have reached the gods cannot resist the temptation and secretly attack Marquis of Bliss, trying to snatch his opportunity to break through to the middle stage of the gods, or snatch the interests of the Southern Region... then they will fall into the trap of Marquis of Bliss and Old Man Hidden Ghost, two ghost cultivators who feed on humans.

A shrewd hunter often appears in the form of prey.

"Too insidious and cunning."

Thinking of this, Wei Tu's expression became a little stern and he shuddered.

If he had not seen, through the eyes of the Red Dragon Ancestor, the whole process of the master and disciple of the Ji Le Shen Hou plotting against Feng Yuan and refining the human elixir, he probably would not have thought of this at this moment, and would not have been anxious and foolishly tried to assassinate the Ji Le Shen Hou to prevent him from becoming stronger.

"But this strategy is likely to fail."

He shook his head secretly and pondered.

The plan of the Lord of Bliss was perfect, but unfortunately, he was unaware of the impact of his butterfly's wings.

When he met with Qi Yaoxian, Lou Shiwang and others, he had already told them that the master and disciple, Lord Ji Le Shen Hou and Master Yin Gui Shang Ren, had joined forces to plot against Feng Yuan.

The circle of gods in the Central Region is not very big.

To assassinate the Lord of Bliss, one would not act alone rashly, but would definitely invite many friends... and by then, how could these gods be easily fooled?

……

Now that he knew that the Marquis of Bliss was nothing to worry about, Wei Tu did not waste any time and continued on his way to the Da Cang cultivation world.

A few months later, he arrived at the border of the southern region and embarked on his journey back to the Da Cang cultivation world.

The two major cultivation worlds are quite far apart. Even though his cultivation has improved and his escape techniques are more advanced than before, this journey will still take at least three to four years.

However, with the "Secret Book of the Spiritual Zombie" in hand, Wei Tu did not find the journey boring.

He began to patiently study the "corpse-raising technique" that Ling Jiangzi had learned throughout his life, as recorded in this secret book.

Although this magical art cannot make a lot of money like the art of alchemy and the art of talismans, if nothing unexpected happens, it will be the biggest pillar of his combat power among conventional means in his future journey.

There is no other reason, this immortal art has been passed down in an orderly manner, and it is possible to practice all the way to the state of fusion.

If you don't practice this magical art, will you practice those ordinary magical powers?
One year.

Two years.

As time went by, Wei Tu's understanding of the "Secret Scripture of the Spiritual Zombies" became deeper and deeper, and he roughly sorted out the basis of this "corpse-raising technique".

It is different from the simple process of piling up materials and engraving runes to refine puppets.

The "corpse-raising technique" in "The Secret Book of the Spiritual Zombies" follows the approach of "using the law as the god and firewood as the puppet".

In short, this "corpse-raising technique" is more like a kind of learnable magical power, but compared to ordinary magical powers, it has more physical objects to rely on during the performance, namely, refined corpses, or corpse puppets.

For example, the corpse guards who guard the "Lingjiang Palace" are the creations of the laws of Lingjiangzi during his lifetime. They do not require the painstaking efforts of cultivators to refine them. As long as the "spirit exists", that is, the laws exist, they can be produced continuously.

in other words.

If Wei Tu cultivated this magical art to the level of Ling Jiangzi's accomplishments during his lifetime, with just a thought, even if the spiritual material in front of him was just mud, he could instantly create a zombie comparable to the Huashen and Lianxu realms to fight for him.

Of course, the level of spiritual materials used to shape the zombie also determines its strength to a great extent.

The advantage is that this method does not require the hard work of "raising corpses" and "refining corpses" like ordinary cultivators.

"It's just like the difference between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect in the novels of my previous life. However, this "Qi" is not internal force or magic power, but a higher law... Therefore, Lingjiangzi's "Spiritual Zombie Secret Scripture", minus the "Corpse Refining Chapter" in it, is more accurately the way to practice the "Spiritual Zombie Law" that he mastered during his lifetime."

Wei Tu's eyes sparkled as he pondered secretly.

Laws, like the meaning of laws, are basically divided into two types: the natural type and the magical power type.

Abbreviated as natural system and artificial system.

However, at the level of laws, the artificial "laws" are not necessarily as inferior as the law suggests. They can compete with the natural laws.

At least, Lingjiangzi said in the "Lingjiang Secret Book" that his "Lingjiang Law" is not inferior to others and is the best among the same level.

"It is precisely because the level of the Spiritual Zombie Law is not low, so it is not easy to comprehend its meaning."

Wei Tu sighed secretly, his consciousness immersed in his mind, looking at the line of words slowly emerging on the golden and purple destiny chart.

"Spiritual Zombie Method (1/100): Practice once every five days, and you will achieve it in three hundred years."

You know, with his comprehension, it would only take him a hundred years to comprehend the meaning of the "Green Emperor's Sword of Life".

However, fortune and misfortune are interdependent. The longer it takes to comprehend this magical art, the more powerful it will be after comprehending it.

……

one year later.

Wei Tu finally arrived at the Da Cang cultivation world.

After arriving at the Da Cang cultivation world, he did not have too many attachments to this old place. He increased his speed and quickly flew towards Kangguo, which led to the "Guixu Sea Cultivation World".

However, just as he flew past the "Taixu Realm" of the ancient southern wilderness, his brows suddenly frowned, as if he remembered something.

"Demon Lord Guiluo, Old Demon Jiuchuan... I almost forgot about this former enemy." Wei Tu slapped his forehead and thought to himself.

Previously, during his two expeditions to the Taixu Realm, the Demon Lord Guiluo had threatened his life. The last time, he even almost killed him in the inner area of ​​the Taixu Realm.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to get the "Taimiao Treasure Realm" that could open the Stone Demon Tower from the relics of Master Shentu, his life or death would be hard to estimate now.

"Moreover, when Master Jiuli was alive, I also promised this man that I would avenge him and avenge his deceased wife..."

Wei Tu recalled this old incident again.

Back then, when he was in the State of Chu, he used the alias "Fu Dao Ren" and made a soul oath with Master Jiuli: when the time was right to deal with the old demon Jiuchuan, as long as Master Jiuli paid the corresponding reward, he would join forces with him to deal with the old demon Jiuchuan.

Later, Master Jiuli was implicated by him in the secret realm of Zunwang Palace and was killed by Ding Lezheng... This soul oath was not ultimately fulfilled, which became a regret for Master Jiuli.

However, although the oath was not fulfilled, he secretly made up his mind to kill the old demon Jiuchuan at that time. After all, this demon was his old enemy, and helping Master Jiuli to take revenge was just a matter of convenience for him.

However, time flies.

After he left the secret realm of Zunwang Palace, he immediately hid in the immortal world of Guixu Sea. After he achieved the state of transformation into a god, he was so eager to deal with Ding Lezheng and Shengyashan that he temporarily put this matter behind him and did not think about it for a long time.

This time, if he had not revisited the old place, he might have forgotten the "Ghost Demon Lord" who threatened his life that year.

After all, it's been too long.

Back then, he was only over 300 years old in the Jindan realm, but now, he is over 900 years old, and more than 600 years have passed.

"Do you have any information about the old demon Jiuchuan?"

Now that he remembered this enemy, Wei Tu would naturally not wait until the next day to take revenge. He immediately flew to Yunhe Mountain in Zheng State, landed in front of Ni Shihuang, and asked.

After more than a hundred years, Ni Shihuang's realm has greatly improved compared to before. She is almost in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Her temperament has become more graceful and elegant, and her face is full of glory. It is obvious that during the time when Wei Tu was not in the Da Cang cultivation world, this girl had a very good life.

Ni Shihuang, who was practicing in the cave, was startled when she heard Wei Tu's voice. However, as Wei Tu's servant, she did not feel angry at all. Instead, she felt happy.

This means that she is still useful in front of Wei Tu and is not just a vase.

"Master, this is the information about the old demon Jiuchuan."

After hurriedly standing up and greeting, Ni Shihuang slapped his storage bag, took out a jade slip without thinking, and handed it to Wei Tu.

She and Wei Tu are monks of the same age, and she knows Wei Tu's past very well. She, as a "loyal" servant, will never forget the enemy that Wei Tu almost forgot.

She kept in mind the task that Wei Tu had assigned her to collect intelligence on the Da Cang cultivation world, and she did not slack off at all.

"In addition to the information about the old demon Jiuchuan, I have also found some information about the remnants of Shengya Mountain in the past hundred years..."

"That Situ Yang, I have already helped my master kill him. If it weren't for the fact that the old demon Jiuchuan was too strong to be dealt with... what is here right now is his head."

As he spoke, Ni Shihuang flicked his sleeves, and a head covered with hair suddenly appeared on the table in front of him.

The head had angry, bloodshot eyes and a hint of fear. It was none other than Wei Tu's former rival - Situ Yang, a Taoist from Shengya Mountain.

"Situ Yang..."

After hearing what Ni Shihuang said, and then seeing the head on the table in front of him, Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling very surprised.

He had never thought that Ni Shihuang, a servant he casually accepted, would be so self-aware that he ran to kill Situ Yang on his own without his command.

He even had the idea of ​​taking action against the old demon Jiuchuan.

"You have a heart."

Wei Tu nodded slightly and praised.

To this day, Situ Yang is no longer worthy of being his enemy.

If Ni Shihuang had not mentioned it at this time, he might not have spent too much time and energy to deal with this secret enemy.

Even... like the old demon Jiuchuan, he would slowly forget this person in his mind.

After saying this, Wei Tu casually took out a fourth-level pill from his storage bag and handed it to Ni Shihuang using his magic power as a reward.

"Thank you, Master."

Ni Shihuang was overjoyed when he saw this and immediately thanked him.

She worked hard to help Wei Tu, hoping to make Wei Tu happy and then receive rewards from Wei Tu, the god.

A single hair of the Divine Being is thicker than her thigh at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

With this elixir, she has hope of breaking through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

"In the last one or two hundred years... well, before the next secret realm of the Zunwang Palace opens, try to hide your whereabouts and don't show up too much to avoid any accidents."

After thinking for a moment, Wei Tu gave instructions to Ni Shihuang.

Before this, Ni Shihuang was dispensable to him, so he didn't care about his safety.

Now, although it is still an "insignificant" existence, it is still a bit of hard work. Giving this girl a reminder or two is a good thing for him.

"To avoid any misfortune?"

Ni Shihuang was a little puzzled by this statement. After all, Wei Tu was the only god in the Da Cang cultivation world. With Wei Tu's protection, who would dare to kill her?

But just when she was about to ask, she saw that Wei Tu had disappeared, and even his escape light was difficult to detect.

"Could it be a god from the outer realm?"

Suddenly, Ni Shihuang thought of this guess. She was alert in her heart. While secretly grateful to Wei Tu, she quickly sent a message to her clansmen, packed up her belongings, and quickly fled to another place.

……

Two days later.

Somewhere in the Demonic Sea, under a deserted island.

"In another seventy-eight years, it will be the day of my death." Under the deserted island, a middle-aged monk in ancient robes sat cross-legged, his eyes full of vicissitudes.

This person was no other than the Nascent Soul ancestor of the Tianjue Demon Palace, the old demon Jiuchuan, who had a grudge against Wei Tu.

However, because of Wei Tu, he was excluded by other Nascent Souls of Tianjue Demon Palace more than a hundred years ago, "escaped" from Tianjue Demon Palace, became a casual cultivator, and was forced to live in seclusion here for the rest of his life.

After escaping from the Tianjue Demon Palace.

At first, he was relatively calm, but as time passed and the day of his death drew closer, he became more and more tormented.

On the one hand, he was reluctant to give up his life and wanted to enjoy the little time left. On the other hand, he was terrified that Wei Tu would come after him and seek revenge...

"A hundred years have passed. A great man like him must have forgotten that I am his enemy."

"Yes, stepping on me to death is just like stepping on an ant. Why would he keep chasing me?"

The old demon Jiuchuan was conflicted and thought with a hopeless hope.

However, just as he was about to get up and leave this self-made prison to get some fresh air outside, a green figure suddenly and silently appeared in front of him.
