Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"It seems that all of you fellow Taoists have gained a lot from this demonic calamity!"

Half a month later, when Lu Tiandu finished refining the first batch of Qi and Blood Pills and came out of seclusion, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Qing Yuanzi, Ao Xiao and other Mahayana cultivators from both the demon and human races who came to visit him.

“Hehe, this time thanks to fellow Daoist, we killed those Saint Ancestor incarnations without any scruples, and this also allowed me to obtain two Xuantian remnant treasures!”

Qing Yuanzi stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Mo Jianli and Ao Xiao also looked happy, obviously they had also gained something.

As for Mu Qing, he already had a Xuantian treasure with him. Although he also got a piece of Xuantian broken treasure, he didn't take it seriously.

In Tianyuan City where Chu Hui was stationed, the incarnation of the Bloodlight Saint was destroyed by the Shura clone before he even arrived in Tianyuan City.

She had never encountered any other incarnations of the Holy Ancestor, so naturally she had no way of obtaining the Xuantian remnant treasures.

"Since these demon saints dare to invade our clan, they must be prepared to lose their incarnations. The fact that you fellow Taoists have this opportunity is not entirely due to Lu's credit!"

"With these Xuantian remnants of treasures, plus the Thousand Knots Purple Lotus Talisman that Lu gave you earlier, you don't need to worry too much about the next few great heavenly tribulations!"

Lu Tiandu smiled and shook his head.

Lu Tiandu did not take credit for his achievements, but Qing Yuanzi and others knew that it was because of Lu Tiandu's existence that they dared to kill the incarnations of the Demon Realm's Saints.

With the existence of Lu Tiandu, even if the real saints of the demon world come in a few decades, how dare they come to the territories of humans and demons to cause trouble?

And as long as the demon world ends, these Xuantian remnants, Xuantian holy weapons and other treasures will truly belong to them!

With these treasures, plus the immortal talismans given by Lu Tiandu, there is no doubt that their next few major heavenly tribulations will be much easier.

After a few pleasantries, Ao Xiao asked:

"Brother Daoist Lu summoned us back this time, but is there anything you want us to do?"

"Yes, there are some things. I have received some important news and I want to tell you so that you can be prepared!"

Lu Tiandu paused and continued:
"My fellow Taoists should know that since we wiped out all the invading monks from the Demon Realm last time, our human and demon races have not experienced a second wave of demonic disasters in the past two years..."

"Could it be that the second wave of demonic calamity that befell our two tribes is about to begin again?"

Mo Jianli said in a deep voice.

Everyone in the hall knew that usually in the early stages of a demonic calamity, the battle between the cultivators from the spiritual world and the cultivators from the demon world was in full swing.

The past two years have been unusually peaceful for both the human and demon races, but this is actually just a special case.

Without the mobile army of monks formed by the monks of the Holy City, the hundreds of combined monks who had been added to the two races in the past few hundred years, and the Mahayana monks who were in charge, it would have been impossible to clear out the monks from the Demon World that appeared in the territories of the human and demon races so quickly.

"That's not the case. If nothing unexpected happens, before the Demon Realm Saint arrives, no more Demon Realm monks will appear in our two clans!"

Lu Tiandu spoke of the warning to the incarnation of the Six Extreme Ancestor, and did not hide the news that he had advanced to the late Mahayana stage.

In fact, after seeing Lu Tiandu's astonishing speed of cultivation so many times, Ao Xiao and others have basically become numb to it.

The human race had a late Mahayana cultivator with top-level combat power in charge, which naturally made them feel a lot more at ease and they all congratulated him.

Lu Tiandu changed the topic and talked about another thing:

"Also, some time ago, Lu secretly went to the demon world and heard some deeper news about this demonic calamity!"

"Have you ever heard of the name Mother of Stem Borers?"

"Mother of borers, what is this? I have never heard of it. Fellow Daoist Chu, Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Ao Xiao, Fellow Daoist Mu, do you know anything about it?"

After thinking about it, Mo Jianli shook his head in confusion and looked at the others.

Among the other five Mahayana cultivators in the hall except Lu Tiandu, the oldest is Ao Xiao, who has lived for nearly 70,000 years.

He is second to none. Qing Yuanzi, the ascended monk, is only over 20,000 years old.

Chu Hui was from the Thunder Continent and had only lived for over ten thousand years, so she was still very young.

It has not been long since Mu Qing advanced to the Mahayana stage, so in his opinion, he should not be very old.

In fact, he didn't know that although Mu Qing had only been a spiritualist for tens of thousands of years, the number of years his body had grown was much longer than that of Ao Xiao!
Qing Yuanzi and Mu Qingjun both shook their heads.

Only Chu Hui and Ao Xiao seemed to vaguely recall something.

"It sounds familiar. I seem to have heard of this name by chance. Is it some kind of ferocious beast?"

Chu Hui couldn't help but look at Lu Tiandu.

It was also the first time that she and Mu Qing had seen Lu Tiandu in the past two years, and they had no idea that Lu Tiandu had gone to the Demon Realm.

"It's not surprising that you don't know the mother of the borer! It is said that this evil insect once wreaked havoc on the worlds in ancient times, and eventually attracted the immortals from the immortal world to come down to the world to seal it... Very few people know about the rumors about it."

Lu Tiandu said slowly.

At this time, Patriarch Ao Xiao suddenly recalled something, his face turned pale, and he looked at Lu Tian with some doubt:

"I remembered now. Could this mother of borers be the ancient demon insect with the power to devour an entire world? Fellow Daoist Lu said that there was another reason for the invasion of the demon world this time. Could it be that this invasion of the demon world is related to this insect?"

"Devouring the power of an entire world? Brother Ao, what kind of demonic insect is this terrifying! Isn't it much scarier than those true spirits?"

Mo Jianli took a breath and his expression changed slightly when he heard this.

If it is a normal demonic calamity, it will eventually end.

But if this kind of powerful demonic insect is involved, I'm afraid there will be other variables in this invasion of the demon world.

Qing Yuanzi, Mu Qing and others were also surprised.

Seeing Lu Tian nodded, Ao Xiao's expression changed, and his voice was a little bitter as he explained:

"Compared to this, what are true spirits? It is said that in ancient times, this demon insect devoured at least seven or eight powerful true spirits, if not ten... What's even more terrifying is their ability to devour the world..."

Ao Xiao directly talked about the information about the Mother of Stem Borers that he had learned from an ancient book on another continent:
"It is said that the Mother of the Stem Borer was born from a branch of an ancient and inconspicuous insect race in a certain plane."

"This insect mother not only has a natural dark attribute, but can also devour all kinds of vitality in the world at the same time."

"What's even more terrifying is its astonishing reproduction speed, and the offspring born also have the terrifying talent of devouring the vitality of heaven and earth." "It is said that the several vicious insects such as the gold-eating insects circulating in various realms now have inherited the bloodline of this mother of the borer, which is why they also have the magical power to devour everything."

"It is rumored that the mother of the borer was born in just over a thousand years, but she has already bred hundreds of millions of offspring. She then led these offspring to slaughter all other species of creatures in the original world."

"After more than ten thousand years, the entire world will be devoured by all the energy of heaven and earth. Everything will wither and eventually break apart and collapse."

"Before the interface was destroyed, the mother of the borer used her great magical power to break through the air with her offspring and leave the broken interface, entering another adjacent interface."

"After just tens of thousands of years, the mother borer and her offspring staged the same scene in the new interface they entered. The vitality of heaven and earth was devoured and began to collapse."

"Just like that, over the next hundred thousand years, the Mother of the Stem Borer and her offspring destroyed several interfaces one after another, and eventually attracted the attention of the upper realm, causing two True Immortals to descend directly. According to the records in that ancient book, the Mother of the Stem Borer fought with the immortals from the upper realm, and her whereabouts have been unknown since then."

"Fellow Daoist Lu just mentioned that this demon worm was sealed by an immortal. I have never seen it in that ancient book. Could it be that the final battle between the True Immortal and the Mother of the Moth was in the Demon Realm, and this demon worm broke the seal back then?"

Seeing all the monks staring at him, Lu Tian nodded and said:

"What Fellow Daoist Ao said is basically correct. This mother of borers did indeed devour several realms, and eventually came to the Demon Realm with its billions of descendants, and it had a great battle with the True Immortals in the Demon Realm."

"I heard that the war that year was so fierce that it almost caused the earth to break apart, and affected every region. Many dangerous places and secret areas in the Demon Realm were formed after the war. The Demon Realm's resources are somewhat poor compared to the Spirit Realm, and it seems that this was also caused by the Mother of the Borer."

"And the final result of this battle was that all the descendants of the Mother of the Stem Borer were killed. She herself was severely injured and was sealed by two True Immortals using a secret technique of the Immortal Realm to the original seal place of the Demon Realm, where she fell into a deep sleep."

"However, this insect woke up not long ago and is now attacking the seal. Currently, part of the power of the demon world is used to suppress this insect. The early outbreak of this demonic calamity is precisely because of this insect!"

"Could it be that the monks from the Demon Realm want to abandon the Demon Realm and migrate to our Spirit Realm?"

Mo Jianli seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"This is exactly what some of the Saints of the Demon Realm think. If the Mother of Grain Borers really breaks the seal and comes out, there is no need to say what will happen to the Demon Realm tens of thousands of years later! That's why this demonic calamity happened 30,000 years in advance!"

Lu Tiandu said, "Therefore, this time the cultivators from the Demon Realm came to the Spirit Realm, which is different from previous times. They are planning to take root in the Spirit Realm. I am afraid that they will try to demonize the territories they occupy later, so as to establish a base in the Spirit Realm."

"If that's the case, then we, the tribes in the northwest corner of Tianyuan, are in trouble!"

Ao Xiao also looked unhappy.

"As I said just now, occupying part of the Spirit World and migrating to the Spirit World is only the plan of some of the Saint Ancestors. This is the way out after the Mother of the Stem Borer is truly broken. Before that, if the Mother of the Stem Borer can be killed, the cultivators of the Demon World will naturally not need to migrate to the Spirit World."

Lu Tiandu said.

"Even the True Immortals back then couldn't kill the Mother of the Stem Borer. How can a Mahayana cultivator from the Demon Realm have this ability?"

Qing Yuanzi shook his head.

"The Mahayana monks from the Demon Realm won't work, but what if the Mahayana monks from the Spirit Realm are included?"

Lu Tiandu smiled and said, "Don't forget, everyone, our Spirit World is one of the closest neighbors to the Demon World. If the Demon World is in trouble, tens of thousands of years later, it might be our Spirit World's turn to suffer!"

Ao Xiao said thoughtfully:

"It is not easy to get the monks of the big clans in the Spirit Realm to take action. It seems that we need to spread the thoughts of the Saint Ancestor of the Demon Realm at the right time and involve these monks of the big clans!"

"It's easy to find evidence for this. When the demon cultivators start to demonize and occupy the land in a few years, it will be clear. Although the tribes in the northwest corner like us will bear the brunt of it, if most of the demon cultivators really descend on the spirit world, the big tribes will be the ones that will suffer the most!"

Lu Tiandu smiled slightly and said, "Moreover, the most fundamental thing is that even the Mahayana cultivators in the Spirit Realm cannot allow the now severely injured Mother of the Moth Devouring Demon Realm to truly recover!"

"So, to some extent, this demonic calamity is nothing. The next big thing is still the Mother of the Borers!"

"Since the Mother of Grain Borers is a great enemy of both worlds, our tribes will have to fight in the future, so I will not refuse. However, in order to deal with the Mother of Grain Borers, I need to retreat for a hundred years to cultivate a great magical power..."

“Therefore, whether it is the coming of the Saint Ancestor’s real body, or the agreement between the two worlds in the future to go to the Demon Realm together to kill the Mother of the Moth, you Taoist friends need to deal with it first!”

Lu Tiandu said as he glanced at Mo Jianli, Ao Xiao, and Qing Yuanzi, "Also, I asked someone to tell my fortune before. As long as we are careful, there won't be any accidents this time!"

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lu. Our current strength is far beyond what it was before. With so many Mahayana cultivators working together, we are confident that we can protect ourselves."

Ao Xiao and the other two looked at each other and said.

Obviously they understood that if the Mahayana from the Spirit Realm were to rush to the Demon Realm, they would need to send people to the Demon Realm before Lu Tiandu came out of seclusion.

If Lu Tiandu came out of seclusion, there would be no need for them to go to the Demon Realm.

"In addition, we had an agreement with other alien races to cease fire and jointly deal with the demonic calamity. The next war will mainly occur in other alien races. In order to fulfill the agreement and prevent the demon world monks from demonizing the wild land, our two races will also send some high-level monks to participate in the war..."

Lu Tiandu thought of the Wood Clan, which was the first to fall during the Demonic Tribulation, and continued to talk about other arrangements:

"Besides, after a hundred years it will be the millennium, and the devil calamity should be over by then. Once the agreement between us and these alien races expires, it will be the time for our two races to leave the three realms and seven lands."

"Fellow Daoists and the Three Sovereigns and Seven Demon Kings need to make arrangements as soon as possible for this matter... In addition, I met with the Spirit King before. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be news of the Spirit Tribe and our tribe forming an alliance in the near future. This matter needs to be handled properly."

"Don't worry, Brother Lu, we will take care of this matter."

Everyone understood what Lu Tiandu meant, but they were a little confused about how Lu Tiandu convinced the Spirit King.

Obviously, the status of the spirit race is somewhat similar to that of the demon race and the crystal race.

When the human race swallows up the territories of nearby tribes, it will undoubtedly become a middle-class tribe.

In this process, the goal is not to completely exterminate these alien races.

On the one hand, such an action would cause great losses to both the human and demon races. After that, the human race would move out of the northwest corner and face other medium-sized races on the road to growth, and the resistance they would encounter would be very great.

On the other hand, if one truly wants to expand territory and grow stronger by relying on the power of the human and demon races, it will be extremely slow.

At this time, some auxiliary monks are needed.

Small tribes cling to big tribes to survive. In the future, after the defeat of the Wood Tribe and other tribes, some tribesmen will leave their tribes and go into the wilderness to find land to survive, while most of them will become vassals of the human race.

And once the human race moves out of the northwest corner, these vassal races will follow to fight.

As long as they win, they can gain a lot of benefits.

In terms of status, as long as the human race continues to win, their status will definitely be higher than that of the other races that surrender later.

Only with this kind of snowballing can the human race quickly grow into a large tribe in the northern part of Fengyuan! (End of this chapter)
