I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

After all, those who have achieved the state of becoming a god in the barren human world are all the elites of this world. They are far from being comparable to the human cultivators who were captured in the ancient demon world and the demon cultivators who have become servants of the ancient demons.

And Wei Tu is the most meticulous among these elites.

He couldn't fool Wei Tu with his lies.

"Well, I won't lie to you anymore. I'll tell you the truth. I did want to break away from the Weeping River Demon Lord, but that was my original body. I was just a fragment of the original body... or, in other words, a fragment of the fragment of the Weeping River Demon Lord's fragment..."

"Because of this relationship, the control that Demon Lord Weeping River has over me is not strong, so I have the idea of ​​uniting with you. There will be no harm in uniting with me."

"Of course, this is also related to the fact that you are not an ordinary god. From you, I see some possibilities that can allow me to invest a little bit."

"As for whether what I said is true or false, the oath of the demon can prove it."

After saying this, the "Five Elements Infant" moved its lips slightly and uttered a series of crude and obscure words. This was exactly the oath-taking ceremony of the "Devil's Oath" that Wei Tu had seen in Bang Chen's memory.

Soon, as the last clumsy byte fell.

Wei Tu sensed that there was some vague connection between himself and the "ghost soul" in front of him, and that there was a power beyond dimensions that bound it.

But at this point, Wei Tu still did not show any goodwill towards the "Ghost God's Soul".

His eyes were slightly cold as he rewrote the oath of the Demonic Oath, asking the "Ghost God's Soul" to clarify in the oath every piece of information he had just said, whether it was true or false, and then swear again.

A difference of one word means a thousand miles of error.

He also took advantage of loopholes in his oath and schemed against younger people.

Now that the initiative is in his hands, he will not let the "Ghost God's Soul" make a flawed oath to threaten his future safety.

"Now, I don't know whether you are a human cultivator or a reincarnated ancient demon. You are so familiar with the Heavenly Demon Oath of ancient demons like us."

The eyes of the "Five Elements Infant" were slightly cold and his expression was solemn.

Of lies, nine are true and one is false. This is the hardest thing to uncover.

The oath to the devil he swore just now was true. The only false thing was some loopholes in the oath. After making this oath, due to the loopholes in the words, the oath to the devil would not have much binding force on him.

This is a trick these ancient demons often use to deceive others.

But he did not expect that Wei Tu, a human cultivator, knew so much about the "Oath of the Heavenly Demon" that existed in the ancient demon world. He was not only familiar with the swearing-in ceremony of the "Oath of the Heavenly Demon", but also knew how to compile oaths within the rules of the "Oath of the Heavenly Demon" to restrain those who swore.

This kind of knowledge reserve is only possessed by some great cultivators in the spiritual world!

However, precisely because of this, he has become more and more interested in Wei Tu and has begun to look forward to what the scene will be like when Wei Tu ascends to the upper realm.

"However, your value is enough for me to swear this oath of the devil."

The "Five Elements Infant" smiled slightly, and recited the ancient and obscure magic language again, swore in the name of the Heavenly Demon, and swore the Heavenly Demon's Oath that Wei Tu had rewritten.

Recite the oath word by word.

Bound by the oath of the devil, Wei Tu finally figured out which of the words of the "ghost soul" in the conversation between him and him just now were true.

This demon did not lie to him later. It was indeed the soul of the soul of the Weeping River Demon Lord. And because the Weeping River Demon Lord indirectly controlled his soul through the soul, his control over it was not strong.

Some of the information mentioned above is false.

The Weeping River Demon Lord did indeed remember the aura of the Five Elements Soul by hiding in the Five Elements Soul's body when he was using the Five Elements Soul to summon the Ghost God.

But! The Weeping River Demon Lord did not have the ability to change his ascension destination.

This point is particularly important.

In other words, although his act of imprisoning the "Ghost God" this time greatly offended the great figure, the Demon Lord of the Weeping River, because it was a "crime from an alien world", the Demon Lord of the Weeping River did not have much ability to punish him.

Unless he seeks death in the future and runs to the ancient demon world.

Without this huge threat.

For him, cooperating with the "Ghost God's Soul" is almost all beneficial.

He will gain the knowledge reserve of a demon lord-level figure.

Even though the memories left by the Weeping River Demon Lord on the "Ghost God's Soul" were limited, it must have been of great benefit to him, a cultivator who had reached the stage of Divine Transformation.

Shortening the time required for ascension is no longer a daydream.

But...what Wei Tu didn't quite understand was why the "Ghost God's Soul" was willing to cooperate with him.

The Weeping River Demon Lord could not threaten him, and the same went for the Ghost God, the original body of the Ghost God's Soul.

Before ascending to the spiritual world, he could simply kill the "ghost soul" and make its efforts go in vain.

In other words, the "ghost soul" does not guarantee his future.

The Demonic Oath is only effective and binding on ancient demons.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of their oaths, human cultivators in the spiritual world use oath objects and oath instruments such as the "Tianming True Page".

In the lower realm, the ordinary "Tianming Zhenye" ​​no longer has much restraining power on him.

Although Wei Tu did not reveal his thoughts on his face, the "Ghost Soul" who had been playing tricks on people for a long time had already guessed Wei Tu's thoughts. He smiled faintly and said:

"The legacy of a demon lord is definitely enough for you to take risks for it."

"Ambition will gradually grow as your realm improves. Now, you may worry about the revenge of the Weeping River Demon Lord, but in time... you will definitely want to kill him and take the treasure."

"And this is why I am willing to unite with you."

"Anyway, this part of my soul has been trapped by you. If I don't cooperate, my consciousness will be wiped out. And if I cooperate... all I will pay is some knowledge from the Weeping River Demon Lord."

At this point, Wei Tu nodded slightly to show his agreement.

With his character, he would never trust an outsider so easily, especially a soul of a demon king. But for now, "trusting" this person would not do him any harm.

After all, his "trust" was just an exploit.

……

Although he chose to "trust" the ghost god's soul, Wei Tu did not remove the soul restrictions on the ghost god's soul and still imprisoned it.

Besides, it is worth rejoicing that.

This time his original purpose of "offering sacrifices to the ghost gods" did not fail.

——The "ghost soul" imprisoned in the body of the "Five Elements Infant" has completely settled in the body of the "Five Elements Infant". After this transformation, the strength of the "Five Elements Infant" has completely entered the first level of the God of Transformation, and has the strength comparable to that of a newly promoted God of Transformation.

This explosive secret technique has become normalized.

However, in terms of durability, the current "Five Elements Infant" is far inferior to a normal Divine Transformation Master.

After three full-strength attacks, you will be exhausted.

It can only be used as a surprise tactic.

During this time, the "Split Soul of the Ghost God" also spoke frankly to him and told him some secrets about the Weeping River Demon Lord, such as the Weeping River Demon Lord's cultivation experience and real name. However, in terms of address, the "Split Soul of the Ghost God" did not want Wei Tu to address him by the Weeping River Demon Lord's name or Taoist name, but asked him to call himself "Li Linggu" or "Lingguzi".

"This name is the title I got from her when I possessed your human cultivator. It has been thousands of years." The ghost soul's tone was a little lonely, as if he had a deep affection for the cultivator named "Li Linggu".

But Wei Tu scoffed at this and was not interested.

The social ecology of the ancient demons is completely different from that of humans. They are even more barbaric than the monster tribes. They only pursue ultimate power. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are cold-blooded monsters.

How could I have any feelings for the person I possess?

However, it is not bad to call this demon "Li Linggu" or "Lingguzi", which is much better than always calling him "Youshen". He is not a disciple of Youshen Sect and does not worship this evil god.

"Gun Ling, are you a monk from the Ghost God Sect?"

Wei Tu suddenly thought of this and asked casually.

In the ghost woman's memory, there was no such disciple named "Li Linggu". However, the ghost woman was a god of the ghost sect who had lived for thousands of years. Logically, she would remember the Yuanying and Huashen predecessors in her sect.

"She is not. The inheritance I left in your world is not limited to the Phantom God Sect. The Phantom God Sect is only the largest of the many inheritances in the world."

The ghost soul smiled faintly and didn't say much about this matter.

Hearing this, Wei Tu's eyes flickered a few times, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, there is a lot of time left and we have plenty of time to explore.

……

A few years later.

Wei Tu went to Xianling Road as promised, and went to the Great Snow Mountain in the Northern Territory with Qi Yaoxian.

However, just after arriving in the Northern Territory, the ghost soul that he had placed in the "Soul Refining Banner" suddenly reminded him that someone was secretly following him.

"She is a female cultivator in the early stage of Spiritual Transformation..."

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu's heart tightened at first. After all, being followed by a spirit being transformed was not a good thing, and he didn't have any enemies in the Great Yan Central Region... The fact that he was being followed was most likely related to Qi Yaoxian... In other words, was this an ambush?
However, after hearing the ghost soul's detailed description of the female cultivator who had achieved divine transformation, he was stunned and speechless for a while, and then he felt relieved.

There was no other reason. The female cultivator who followed him was none other than his Taoist partner, Luqiu Qingfeng.

A few years ago, when he left Xianlingdao, he secretly sent a message to Luqiu Qingfeng, asking him to go to the Great Snow Mountain in the Northern Territory before him to inquire about the latest movements of the major forces in the Northern Territory.

This time, he came to the Northern Territory to accompany Qi Yaoxian to discuss the specific details of the alliance with the Great Snow Mountain. Although there was no fanfare, there was no deliberate attempt to conceal his tracks... So it was normal for him to be discovered in advance by Luqiu Qingfeng and to follow him silently.

But what puzzled Wei Tu was.

How did the ghost spirit sense Luqiu Qingfeng in advance?

After all, the demon's soul had been imprisoned in the body of the Five Elements Infant, and he was unable to release his spiritual consciousness to detect the movements around him.

Not to mention, he discovered Luqiu Qingfeng before him.

"Blood induction."

The ghost soul explained casually.

This is a great opportunity for Him to prove His worth to Wei Tu, so He would not deliberately hide it.

"Blood sensing?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tu immediately thought of Wei Xian'er. Among the cultivators he knew, Wei Xian'er was the one who possessed this special sensing talent.

However, this talent is not beneficial to cultivation. Wei Xian'er, who possesses this talent, only has a little more life-preserving ability than the cultivators of the same level, and then gradually becomes lost in the crowd. Now his realm is not even as good as his half-brother "Wei Ping", who is only at the Jindan realm. Soon, his life span will be over.

——Two hundred years ago, he and Fu Zhizhou jointly raised funds to give the Wei family a "Infant Transformation Pill", but Wei Xian'er, who thought that her foundation was unstable and her chances of a breakthrough were not high, gave it to Wei Ping, and she did not use it herself.

"That female cultivator of the Divine Transformation has a strong blood energy, she must be a demon cultivator. Although her realm is only at the initial stage of the Divine Transformation, it will be difficult to deal with her if she uses her demon body. You need to be careful."

The ghost soul didn't know the inside story, so he kindly reminded Wei Tu.

"Demon body?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tu's eyes flickered slightly, and he became more and more interested in the "blood sensing" ability of the ghost soul.

If he guessed correctly, the blood-sensing ability of the ghost soul should not be a talent similar to Wei Xianer's, but a magical power like "Curse".

It can be learned and mastered by monks.

"Let's not talk about the female cultivator who has reached the state of transformation. How did you achieve this blood-energy sensing? Since you have chosen to form an alliance with me and jointly deal with the Weeping River Demon Lord, then you should not be stingy with this technique..."

"As for the art of incantation, you said that my soul is weak and does not meet the threshold for cultivation. I need to at least reach the peak of the Spiritual Transformation. But as for the blood-sensing ability, I should not be unable to meet it..."

Wei Tu spoke lightly through telepathy.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ghost soul choked, as if it had not expected that Wei Tu would ignore the crisis and instead be delighted with the magical powers he possessed.

"With your aptitude, you do meet the requirements for practicing the Blood Secret Technique, but this method requires a lot of talent. You already have many different skills and abilities to practice, and you also need to cultivate your body. If you practice this skill, it will inevitably delay your practice time, which is not worth the loss..."

The ghost soul persuaded in a serious tone.

He did not lie when he said this. In the past few years, he had also glimpsed some of Wei Tu's background and knew that Wei Tu was not one of those "pure cultivators" who joined a large sect and practiced all the way from the very beginning, but a "miscellaneous cultivator" who learned this and that and had a mixed inheritance.

There is no difference between pure practice and mixed practice.

But if you learn too many different techniques, it will inevitably waste your practice time.

Although "blood and qi induction" is good, it is inevitably overlapping with the spiritual perception of cultivators. Except for some harsh environments, this method is almost equivalent to chicken ribs, tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

Only a demon lord like him, who has existed for such a long time, would practice these miscellaneous skills.

"It seems that this demon doesn't know the function of my golden purple destiny. He hasn't even seen the golden purple destiny deep in my sea of ​​consciousness. After all, there are words with the name of the technique written on this destiny..."

After he finished speaking, Wei Tu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, he asked the ghost soul for the "blood sensing" magical power. In addition to really wanting to practice this perception technique, another purpose was to test how much the ghost soul knew about the existence of his "golden purple fate".

Now, the answer is obvious.

This demon only knew that he had a special sea of ​​consciousness and was carrying a precious treasure, but he had no idea what this treasure was or what special function it had.

However, to be on the safe side, he still asked the ghost soul to swear by the "Heavenly Demon" that what he said was true. He was really worried that his cultivation was too complicated and would waste his time in cultivation, so he refused to teach him.

The ghost soul did not doubt Wei Tu, and immediately swore an oath to the devil, guaranteeing that he had not deceived Wei Tu.

At this point, Wei Tu felt relieved. He smiled slightly and said, "I have a decent understanding. I have never learned anything but a lot of things, which has delayed my practice. I hope you can give me some advice."

Insight is something that is innate.

In the world of cultivating immortals, although there are treasures that can improve one’s understanding, all of them are extremely valuable and rare in the world.

Therefore, revealing his good comprehension would not allow the ghost spirit to spy on him. The treasure he carried was related to improving his "comprehension".
