Who is still a serious fox monster these days

Chapter 582 Bait

When Chen Yuan took Hu Xingyuan to return to the Earthly Immortal Realm through the Demon Emperor Heaven, he failed to see Yue Li.

Originally, according to his idea, he should ask her again if she was willing to ascend with him.

Unfortunately, she is in seclusion.

"The fate has not come yet."

He muttered to himself, and stepped into the teleportation array back to the Earthly Immortal Realm with Hu Xingyuan.

After returning to the Earthly Immortal Realm, Hu Xingyuan was assigned to the Beast Taming Sect, where he systematically and completely made up for his lack of skills in cultivation.

Previously, his path of cultivation was a new path that Chen Yuan had experimented with, combining true Qi and blood with evil spirits, and combining it with the totem path.

This was also a helpless move, after all, the spiritual energy in the Cangxin Realm was thin back then.

It is almost impossible to reach the Nascent Soul stage through the proper practice, and one can only rely on evil spirit practice.

Although his path is different from the orthodox path of cultivation in the Earthly Immortal Realm, the Beast Taming Sect destroyed the Earthly Demon Sect and obtained most of its inheritance.

Among them is the secret of how evil spirits complement each other, which is just right for Hu Xingyuan.

He combined the Wind Poison Evil and the Ice Evil, condensed the ferocious Dharma image and stepped into the Return to Void.

Although I have received the support of heaven and earth and have understood the will of heaven, I am still quite confused about the road ahead.

Now that he has obtained the secret teachings of the Disha Sect, he has finally completed his understanding of evil spirits.

After Chen Yuan came back, he went straight back to the Heavenly Demon Palace. From time to time, he descended to the world of the Mountain God and continued to strengthen the combination of the Nine Palaces Yangshen Tongtian Formation and the Mountain God Seal.

In addition, the demon skeleton he placed in the statue of Qingyuan Mountain, under the nourishment of endless incense and divine power, the evil spirit inside not only did not disappear, but became more and more intense.

Growing together with this evil spirit was the Buddha nature in its skeleton and the strange fire that he refined by combining the three.

The combination of these three made his statue on Qingyuan Mountain more and more powerful, and even gave Chen Yuan the feeling that it had surpassed his own physique which was blessed by the Nine Palace Yangshen Tongtian Formation.

The body of a celestial being?

Or is it the golden body of the devil?

Or is it a Shinto demon body?
He was secretly confused and curious at the same time.

This statue is so powerful, just like that magic sword, it can only exert such power in this world.

Or when he reaches the outside world, can he still exert strength that surpasses the Return to Void Earth Immortal?

With such doubts in mind, he kept traveling back and forth between the earthly immortal world and the mountain god world.

It was to strengthen the integration of the Nine Palace Yangshen Tongtian Formation and the Mountain God Seal, and also to deepen the connection between himself and the statue.

Occasionally, he would practice dual cultivation with Wu Qing'er, and in her crazy proposal, she also pulled Qingqiu's Han Ji into the mix.

And since Han Ji came once, she often came uninvited, with the intention of competing for favor with Wu Qing'er.

After all, in her previous idea, Chen Yuan was going to lead everyone to ascend, but she and Chen Yuan were the only ones who were from the fox demon clan.

No matter what, for the sake of the orthodox bloodline inheritance of the fox demon spirit fox, she will definitely be the queen in the end.

However, the appearance of Wu Qing'er made her feel a strong sense of crisis.

This woman is not only beautiful as a fairy, but also follows the path of Mei Wanchi, and seems to have some kind of peculiar physique.

Even she, a majestic eight-tailed demon fox, felt admiration for him.

What worried her the most was that this woman could actually live in a side hall of the Heavenly Demon Palace and have sex with Chen Yuan at any time!
What will happen if this goes on for a long time?
The position of the queen is no longer secure!

Because she was worried about this, she often came to look for him. She was glad to know that Chen Yuan was in seclusion. If he was not, she would definitely come in to compete with Wu Qing'er for beauty.

Wu Qing'er seemed to be happy that someone was competing for her favor without showing it, and often made some embarrassing poses that shocked Han Ji.

For this reason, every time Han Ji went back, she would read the Qingqiu secret book that she had never read before.

After Han Ji came to visit him several times, Chen Yuan finally came back to his senses from this beautiful and gentle place.

He was at a loss for words and could only ravage Wu Qing'er. After that, he would often enter the fantasy world of reincarnation with his magic.

The days of 'cultivation' were fulfilling and enjoyable, and six years have passed in a flash.

On this day, Chen Yuan slashed through the cycle of reincarnation with the magic knife in hand. When he recovered his spiritual sense for the first time in the cycle of reincarnation, the voice of the spirit of the Heavenly Demon Palace happened to come to his ears:

"In three days, someone from the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom will be trying to transcend the Return to Void Tribulation. Will you let him out?"

"Which tribe?"

"Green Wind Demon Wolf."

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and remembered that when the Heavenly Demon Palace had just descended to the Earthly Immortal Realm, there was a Green Wolf Demon Lord in the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, but he died in the battle against the collapse of the sky.

After a brief thought, he nodded and said:

"There are only four years left before I ascend. Since Night Ghost doesn't show up, I'll throw some bait to him and let this Green Wind Demon Wolf come to see me."

The spirit of the Heavenly Demon Palace did not say anything, but silently opened a portal.

After a while, a man walked out of the gate and looked at Chen Yuan who was sitting in the hall with a surprised look on his face:
"Junior Qingtong, greetings to Chen Lingzun."

"Well. You are about to pass the tribulation, so I won't beat around the bush with you." Chen Yuan said:

"If you survive the Return to Void Tribulation safely, you will be eligible to choose whether to follow me to ascend to the Immortal Realm. You should make your choice first."

Hearing this, Qing Tong thought for a moment and said:

"This junior is willing to follow Chen Lingzun to ascend to heaven."

"Okay. In that case, after you have completed your tribulation, you will need to put on a show and then travel the world. There is no need to rush back to the Heavenly Demon Palace."

"What play?" Qing Tong asked puzzledly.

······
Seven days later, Qing Tong barely survived the thunder, his whole body was charred and his muscles were burst.

Even with the echoes of immortal light and the sound of the Tao, and the feedback from heaven and earth, Qing Tong's injuries still recovered very slowly.

Until the heaven and earth's feedback disappeared, there was still a huge gap on Qing Tong's back.

After changing back into human form, he smiled miserably with a pale face:

"The calamity of heaven really cannot be taken lightly."

After saying this, he looked at the Heavenly Demon Palace with hesitation, and finally shook his head and sighed:

"The high priest has fallen. Now there is no one in the Ten Thousand Demons Country who can make elixirs to repair the wounds of the Tao. We can only find another way."

After talking to himself, he moved away.

Within a month, the news that Qing Tong barely survived the tribulation but was injured in the tribulation spread.

He traveled to all the mountain gates founded by Fanxu to seek and exchange for elixirs, but was unsuccessful.

Finally, out of desperation, he went to those immortal cultivation markets to make his statement.

If someone could find the elixir to repair the wound, he would agree to a condition. The condition of a Returning Void Demon Lord was indeed a great temptation for the Earthly Immortal World where Returning Void was "rare".

As soon as he put forward this condition, all practitioners who had not yet reached the stage of returning to the void could not help but be tempted, and then a new round of craze for exploring secret realms was set off in the entire earthly immortal world.

Back then, Taoist Master Zong Jing was able to find an elixir in the secret realm. Maybe they could also find an elixir to repair their Taoist injuries, and then get a chance to get help from a demon master.

After Qing Tong spread the message, he stayed in the Xiuxian Market in Jiuguang Mountain.

The Jiuguang Mountain was originally the gate of a first-rate sect, but its lineage was destroyed during the demonic calamity, and all the Fanxu practitioners in the sect were killed.

Now that the demonic calamity is over, this mountain gate has been transformed by the two neighboring Return to the Void into a market place for practitioners. It is considered to be quite prosperous in today's world of earthly immortals.

When the news came that Qing Tong was staying here to recuperate, the practitioners in the Earthly Immortal World started a frenzy to look for medicine.

This craze lasted for nearly two years, during which time many people went to look for Qing Tong with their gains.

Unfortunately, after looking at it, Qing Tong said that the elixir he brought was useless to him, so he gave him some casual advice and sent him away.

Over time, the craze faded, but people still came with elixirs from time to time.

Although I know that it is not a magical medicine that can repair my injuries, it is still good to get guidance from the Demon Lord through it.

Qing Tong, who was troubled by the injury of the Great Dao, seemed helpless. As he was already old, it was not easy for him to chase people away. He could only wait patiently.

It was not until the third year after he was 'injured' that an old man came to visit him.

It is said that there is a secret realm in the vast snowfield of the northern border, where twelve-grade snow lotus is about to mature, but his cultivation level is not high enough to pick it, so he came here to tell Demon Lord Qingtong.

Qing Tong, whose hair was already gray, narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man. After thinking for a while, he said:
"If this is true, and I can get the twelfth-grade snow lotus, I can also promise you one thing."

The old man was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "When does the demon lord plan to go pick the snow lotus?"

"Are you in a hurry for me to go there?" Qing Tong asked with narrowed eyes.

"No, no." Stared at by Qing Tong, the old man's back was wet with cold sweat, and he said tremblingly:
"It's actually my grandson. His soul was frozen by a strange creature in that secret realm. He wants Master Demon to rescue him."

"What weird thing?" Qing Tong raised his eyebrows.

"I don't know either. The strange thing has no shape or trace. Not long after I and my grandson entered the secret realm, my grandson got frozen."

At this point, the old man covered his face and cried, unable to speak.

However, Qing Tong remained unmoved and continued to ask, "Where is the secret place in the vast snowfield?"

The old man lowered his sleeves that were covering his face and said with tears streaming down his face, "It's not far from the gates of the Snow God Sect and the Ice Spirit Palace."

"With your Nascent Soul cultivation, how could you break into that secret realm right under the noses of Tian Xue and Han Guang? Could it be that those two didn't know about this secret realm?"

Qing Xing asked again, causing the old man to hesitate for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"To be honest with you, Demon Lord, although my family are independent cultivators, we have learned a secret technique of concealment in a secret realm before. It was with this secret technique that we were able to enter that secret realm."

"What secret technique can allow a Yuanying-stage person like you to hide under the nose of a Shenhua-stage person? Let me see it."

"This..." The old man looked embarrassed, but under the indifferent gaze of Demon Lord Qing Tong, he finally smiled bitterly and pointed out a ray of inspiration:
"Please have a look, Demon Lord."

Qing Tong Yao Zun probed into it with his consciousness, and after a moment he nodded and said:
"You are lucky. This method of transforming Yin into spirit can be considered a minor supernatural power."

After saying that, he casually flickered a flash of magic light:
"I won't take advantage of you for nothing. This fighting skill is my compensation for seeing your secret technique."

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved around, picked up the formation he had set up here and said:
"I am not in good condition right now, and the snow lotus is guarded by a strange creature. I will return to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters to rest first, and then go to pick the snow lotus in three days."

"If you are in a hurry, then come with me. If you are not in a hurry, then wait here."

The old man hesitated for a moment, and finally said through gritted teeth: "Please take me with you, Demon Lord."

Qing Tong nodded and stopped talking nonsense. With a wave of his hand, he took the old man and moved to the central realm.

Not long after, Qing Tong appeared outside the Heavenly Demon Palace.

The door to the side hall of the Heavenly Demon Palace opened, Qing Tong slipped in, and went straight back to the clan territory of the Qingfeng Demon Wolf Clan.

In the white jade hall of the Heavenly Demon Palace, Chen Yuan looked sideways at the Palace Spirit: "How is it?"

"There is a ghostly aura, but it's very faint." The spirit of the Heavenly Demon Palace responded:

"How did you know he would come here like this?"

"He is too cautious. He will never make a move without a good entry point. If my guess is correct, he probably wants to slowly infiltrate the Return to Void of the Earthly Immortal Realm."

“He is too cautious. There are only a few people who have reached the level of returning to the void in the world of earthly immortals. It’s a pity that he is still a ghost or god.” The spirit of the Heavenly Demon Palace said disdainfully.

"It is precisely because there are only a few people who have returned to the Void, and it won't take too long to infiltrate, so he doesn't need to rush." ​​Chen Yuan said lightly:
“Besides, although there are not many people left, Tianjian Mountain has not suffered much loss in the battle of the sky collapse and the devil calamity. We can’t see through it, let alone him.”

“If he can infiltrate the remaining Return to Void, he will definitely use it to explore the bottom of Tianjian Mountain.”

"That's right." The Heavenly Demon Palace spirit floated up and down and said:
"So what should we do now? You still have one year before you can no longer suppress the Heavenly Tribulation. How can you wait until he has completely infiltrated all of his Return to Void energy?"

"No, since he wants to use Qing Tong to find out whether Qing Xue is still in the Earthly Immortal Realm, I will take advantage of his trick and send him away directly."

As Chen Yuan spoke, he stood up, and his face and body shape changed into that of a middle-aged man who was Jia Mu's true form.

With a thought, he turned into green light and flew into the opened door in the hall, appearing in the clan territory of the Green Wind Demon Wolf clan.

His spiritual sense swept across the tribe's territory, he transmitted a message to Qing Tong, and transformed himself into a spiritual tree.

Qing Tong, who was pretending to pack up the things he needed in the cave, raised his eyebrows, then turned around and moved to the spiritual tree that Chen Yuan had transformed into.

He put the spiritual wood into his sleeve without leaving any trace, then raised his head and said:
"Senior Dian Ling, please allow me to go out again."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door leading out of the hall opened, Qing Tong jumped out, and headed straight for the vast snowfields in the north.

Soon, he arrived at the mountain gate of Snow God Sect and Ice Spirit Palace.

He restrained his aura and released the old man, and sent a voice message to him: "Where is the entrance to the secret realm?"

The old man identified the direction briefly, then pointed to the diagonal back of the two sects and said, "Demon Lord, over there."

Qing Tong didn't waste any words and quietly took the old man to the place he pointed to.

With the strength of his Return to the Void consciousness and with someone showing him the way, he quickly entered the secret realm covered by the snowstorm and came before the twelfth-grade snow lotus.

Looking at the crystal clear twelve-grade snow lotus, Qing Tong's face showed excitement, but he was a little hesitant.

The twelfth petal of this snow lotus has not yet fully opened, and it is obviously not yet fully mature.

"Well, I am not a practitioner of the Way of Ice and Snow. As long as I can repair the wound, that's all."

After saying this, his hands were covered with spiritual power, and he decisively picked the twelfth-grade snow lotus that had not yet fully bloomed.

However, at this moment, another hand suddenly appeared in his sight, and this one also reached out to pick the twelfth-grade snow lotus.

Qing Tong's eyes narrowed and he looked up.

But he saw a person with the same figure and clothes as him, but without any facial features, appearing opposite him.
