Born with immortal seed

Chapter 881 Soul Killing Zhi

Gong Shu also came into the sight of the Su Nu Dao because of this incident, and her talent and ability were among the best in the Su Nu Dao.

But the reason he was chosen and invested in was because of his background.

Having ascended from the Hidden Dragon Realm, and with such outstanding performance, and knowing from the Ice Soul Fairy about his achievements as the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master, that he could cultivate to such a level in the increasingly declining lower realm, he truly deserves the title of a talent capable of governing the world.

Gong Shuneng could sense that the Grand Elder of the Su Nu Dao was searching for something in her scrutinizing gaze that day, trying to find an answer.

Combining the top-secret information passed down by the Moral Sect with the explorations and investigations of many patriarchs after the Middle Ages, it is clear that the Hidden Dragon Realm is by no means simple among the Three Thousand Worlds.

Beneath the heavy fog lies an astonishing secret.

'If I'm not mistaken, the Su Nu Dao believes I'm the reincarnation of some important figure, though it's not certain... Holding onto the possibility, I'll try to establish a good relationship first.'

Gong Shu was clear-headed and felt no anger at being used as a substitute.

Born into the Daode Sect, he knew very well that he was not a reincarnation, and it would be good if he could use this misunderstanding to gain some benefits from the Su Nu Dao.

What the other party is planning has nothing to do with him.

The schemes of the Su Nu Dao were destined to end in vain.

Having cultivated to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm in the lower realm, and single-handedly suffocating the demon race, Gong Shu possessed a talent that rivaled that of the most outstanding patriarchs in the history of the Moral Sect. He harbored a sense of pride.

Providing the necessary resources makes the union seem less unattainable.

"To attain the status of a demon god without returning to the Heavenly Demon Realm is as difficult as ascending to heaven, something no ordinary demon can do... I only ask that Brother Gong, after attaining enlightenment, lend me a helping hand and assist me in crossing the Heavenly Abyss."

"Old Ao Long said in a low voice."

"We all come from the same world and share a bond of mutual support. If that day ever comes, I will certainly lend a helping hand."

The leaders of the human and demon races, who were irreconcilable enemies in the Hidden Dragon Realm, lost their reason to fight each other after arriving in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

As a demon residing in the Earthly Immortal Realm, Ao Laolong was dependent on others and even returning to the Heavenly Demon Realm was a luxury.

Because the Mountain and River Cauldron defied the Demon God's orders, the Heaven-Opening Treasure has now been borrowed by someone else.

More importantly, in the eyes of the demon race, Ao Laolong is already a traitor and can no longer threaten the human beings of the Hidden Dragon Realm.

After a lifetime of scheming, even daring to betray his own clan's demon god, Ao Laolong ultimately found himself humbled, begging his old rival for help. Only he himself knows the bitterness of that experience.

When he was still in the lower realm, Ao Laolong's status among the demon race was even greater than Gong Shu's among the human race.

The Heavenly Punishment Peak Master is now invincible in the world. He is bound by the rules of the Moral Sect and must consider the balance of the world's affairs, so he cannot do anything impulsive.

The powerful among the demon race are revered, and their behavior is even more naked and bloody, with no need for concealment.

The time it took Ao Laolong to become a Demon Lord was several times longer than the time it took for the Heavenly Punishment Peak Master to become a Nascent Soul, and it can be said that he influenced several eras.

Hidden deep within the water, it holds the power of life and death over the entire outer sea demon race.

'I wonder how the Hidden Dragon Realm fared after my ascension, whether they managed to push back into the outer sea… On that day, only the injured Red Ear remained in the arena; it wouldn't have been difficult for the combined efforts of the human Nascent Soul cultivators to force it back. The worst outcome would be for each family to guard its territory, accumulating strength, waiting for a newly ascended Nascent Soul cultivator to reclaim their lost homeland.'

Gong Shu was not worried about the human race after his ascension. The foundation of the Moral Sect and the several backup plans it had made could at least maintain the previous situation.

Hongfa is a rare genius who has followed him, possessing great wisdom and merit.

Given a few hundred years, his strength will definitely surpass that of the remaining two Demon Lords of the Demon Clan.

Moreover, among the younger generation of humans, there are quite a few outstanding individuals.

In particular, Hongfa mentioned that the junior known as the Sword Lord of Time had outstanding combat power, and his performance was comparable to that of several sword immortals in ancient times.

Given time, the gap between the demon race and the human race will only widen.

After a few casual words, Gong Shu returned to the mountaintop to continue his cultivation.

Whether or not the Sacred Flower True Pill of the Plain Maiden Path has arrived, it will not affect his cultivation progress.

Several days later, a semi-transparent figure rose from the ground, its face resolute as it chose a direction to move forward.

With this beginning, more and more phantoms appeared from all directions.

They come in all shapes and sizes, tall and short, fat and thin, handsome and ugly, men and women, young and old, encompassing all kinds of human beings.

No matter how their appearance changes, their unique temperament stands out from the crowd, making them instantly recognizable.

These illusory figures merged into the main body, making Gong Shu's aura even more ethereal, as if he were about to disappear into the void at any moment.

……

The Fire Lotus Child hurried along, a bloodstain running from the corner of his eye to behind his ear, his skin and flesh torn open.

The fact that the attacker could injure a righteous god of the sympathetic fire department, whose strength is comparable to the peak of the Void Refinement stage, to the point that he cannot even heal his wounds, demonstrates the power of the person who struck him.

"Old Qi died in battle, his body never returned; Shui Ying disappeared, his soul lamp barely visible..."

The Fire Lotus Child's eyebrows furrowed, pulling at his wound, causing black blood to flow uncontrollably, staining his entire face in a terrifying manner.

The battle between Lankeshan and Siwang Island is getting fiercer and fiercer, like gamblers who have lost everything, with both sides constantly raising their bets.

The back-and-forth battles at many strongholds have resulted in costs far exceeding the intrinsic value of the assets.

Regardless of which side it is, the ones who have lost are the core cultivators within the organization.

Siwang Island, with its superior historical foundation, was significantly more resilient to casualties after being dragged into a battle devoid of any tactical depth.

If it weren't for the inexhaustible supply of Nascent Soul cultivators from Rotten Axe Mountain, where every death would be replaced by a second, the battle line would have been lost long ago.

Of the six Void Refinement Divine Envoys, one is dead, one is missing, and the other three, like the Fire Lotus Child, are all injured.

The disappearance of Shuiying is shrouded in mystery.

The more abundant the water virtue, the stronger the supernatural powers.

Being in the sea, she is practically immortal; even when surrounded by opponents many times her size, she can escape by using the water.

Unless Shao Yang personally intervenes, it's unimaginable who could make Shui Ying disappear so quietly.

Even for a Divine Seed at the Refinement Level 1, it will take some time for the Ghost God Position Diagram to condense again.

The Divine Seed has no requirements for a cultivator's physical constitution, but quickly reaching the level of a True Spirit in the Void Refinement stage is not something everyone can do.

More than ten candidates were selected from the Rotten Axe Mountain, waiting to choose the best of the best, so as not to waste the divine seed.

A pure, refreshing air wafts through the air, and colorful light shines brightly.

A Taoist priest in a green robe sat by the platform, holding a bamboo pole that was dangling over the lake, with only a thin line and no bait or hook.

"Greetings, Lord."

The Fire Lotus Child walked lightly and bowed respectfully.

"Perfect timing!"

The Taoist in the green robe flicked his wrist, and ripples spread out, revealing a small silver fish leaping out of the water.

Even without a hook, the thin line tethers the silverfish, and with a flick of the wrist, it reaches the shore.

"But is the Dan Cliff Grotto Heaven actually visible to the world?"

"My lord, you have divined that the sinking of the sea and the collapse of the sky in the east of the Five Dragons Sea is precisely the birth of the Dan Cliff Grotto-heaven... In the past, this happened once every three thousand years, but this time it is a full six hundred and sixty-six years late. We have found the disciples who participated in the grotto-heaven last time, and it is said that a Soul-Slaying Fungus is about to take shape, which is due to the fact that it has taken away too much spiritual energy."

The war was intense, and manpower was scarce everywhere.

The fact that such an important combatant as Fire Lotus Child is running back and forth must mean that something extremely important has happened, causing the entire Five Dragons Sea to lose focus.

The exact origin of Dan Cliff Grotto is unknown, but it has been documented for over 500,000 years. Each time it appears in the world, a large number of spiritual herbs flow out, bringing about a peak period for alchemy.

The medicinal herbs are of high quality and often come in a variety of forms, from the main ingredients to the auxiliary materials, making one wonder if Dan Cliff Cave was once the herb garden of a master alchemist.

However, only beings below the Refinement stage can enter the Pill Cliff Cave Heaven; even powerful beings at the Integration stage cannot change the rules without damaging the cave heaven.

This also indirectly reduced casualties; otherwise, if the combined forces only appeared once every three thousand years, they would have already destroyed the Five Dragon Sea.

Around the time Dan Cliff Cave Heaven is born, several forces will deliberately cultivate several Nascent Soul cultivators with extraordinary combat power, sparing no expense in investing massive amounts of resources.

All this was to demonstrate their divine power in the Dan Cliff Cave and obtain the greatest benefit.

Over the years, each family has long since figured out how to gain an advantage in Dan Cliff Cave.

Using various secret techniques to destroy their foundations, they promoted disciples who were on the verge of achieving the Unity stage into death warriors capable of fighting across borders, all in exchange for a few spiritual herbs that had some minor benefit to the Unity stage.

These disciples, like shooting stars, streaked across the Five Dragon Sea. They should have had a brighter future, but instead, they all became codified materials in the struggle for spiritual resources.

"Soul-Slaying Mushroom? It's not only found in battlegrounds like Tianyuan, but it's actually appearing in the Five Dragon Sea... This thing is about to take form, so it must be an innate spiritual root without a doubt."

Bai Zichen calculated with his fingers and began to understand.

"This time, the appearance of the grotto-heaven is so much later than usual, many of the disciples prepared by each family must have missed it, right?"

"A few people were lost, but most of them suppressed their strength with secret techniques, waiting to lift the restrictions after entering the cave heaven... In addition, with the news of the Soul-Slaying Mushroom, many peerless geniuses who were in seclusion have come out of seclusion, and the competition will only become more intense."

The emergence of Dan Cliff Cave is a major event in Wulonghai.

Not only domestic forces, but also sects in the surrounding areas that are qualified to get a share of the pie will send people in.

The major battles at Lankeshan and Siwang Island were inevitably affected, and most of the offensives were halted.

Otherwise, they would incur public wrath, which neither of them could withstand.

Fire Lotus Child personally risked his life to investigate as thoroughly as possible, hoping to find a turning point in the battle.

"We started preparing late, so the chances of us winning against the others are slim, but at least we can muddy the waters and prevent Siwang Island from taking the lead."

Several names came to mind for the Fire Lotus Child. Among the Immortal Officials of the Transformation Realm, they were known for their prowess in killing and conquering. He planned to send them all to the Pill Cliff Grotto Heaven.

They focused on killing the disciples of Siwang Island, not even caring if the Nascent Soul level divine seeds were lost.

Entering the Dan Cliff Cave Heaven requires a cinnabar book and seal, which other families have been diligently collecting for three thousand years.

For a newly emerging power like Lankeshan, obtaining three to five imperial edicts and seals in a hurry is already the limit.

"You make the arrangements. Don't let your guard down on Siwang Island. Be careful they don't do the opposite... There's no need to send more people to search Shuiying. I've already deduced their whereabouts. They'll return when the time comes."

This avatar of Qingxiao Jing was noticeably more talkative than the original.

If Bai Zichen were here, he would never have given such a detailed account.

"His Majesty's decree..."

Fire Lotus Boy's face lit up with joy. It seemed that Water Ying was only trapped or severely injured, and had not yet died.

When only one person remained, Bai Zichen flicked his fishing rod and put it away, turning it into a bamboo cane.

A few light taps on the water's surface caused ripples to spread, and several white waves coalesced into a nautical chart, seemingly marking a location.
