I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 689 Conquering the Demon Kingdom, A Golden Opportunity Revisited!

Burning Scale Demon Kingdom!

This is a medium-sized demon kingdom in the Chenhui Realm, with a total of eight great demons and Mahayana cultivators. The core array of the demon kingdom stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles, encompassing countless spiritual peaks and great rivers, and its affiliated forces cover millions of miles, supporting hundreds of millions of humans and demons.

If it were in the Xuanhuang Realm, a great demon would have been wiped out long ago for openly raising humans. But in Chenhui, who would be willing to risk their life to fight eight great demons and Mahayana cultivators?
Not to mention that there are even late-stage Mahayana cultivators in this demon kingdom.

These powerful demons, residing in the demon kingdom, controlling the grand formation, and raising some humans—who can say anything about that?
Moreover, in this demon kingdom, humans are not without a path to advancement. If they have enough talent, they can be nurtured and cultivate all the way to the Mahayana stage. In some ways, this is even more enjoyable than the arduous cultivation of some independent cultivators.

But things are different today.

The heavens and earth trembled, winds rose and clouds surged, and vast swathes of clouds inexplicably gathered in the tens of thousands of miles of sky, with flashes of lightning faintly visible between them.

"Who dares to play tricks on my Burning Scale Demon Kingdom?"

Amidst the vast mountains, a colossal golden tiger phantom emerged, gazing at the sky with a fierce glint in its eyes, and coldly questioned.

"Boom!"

But as the auspicious clouds in the sky drew closer and the spiritual energy grew heavier, the fierce light in the golden tiger's eyes turned into a deep solemnity.

"This aura..."

A dazzling golden light appeared in the Golden Tiger's eyes, like two great suns probing towards the sky.

"Boom!"

But within those auspicious clouds, countless forces converged, like thirty terrifying storms, intertwining and shredding all spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

His extraordinary eyes, capable of seeing through hundreds of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, couldn't even discern the true face within the auspicious clouds.

"This is……"

Such a terrifying change in spiritual energy naturally attracted the attention of the other beings in the demon kingdom. In the blink of an eye, seven phantom figures appeared beneath the demon array.

These eight illusory figures were incredibly terrifying, their auras so powerful that they seemed like eight suns to the demons in the demon kingdom.

But at this moment, all eight suns had a solemn look in their eyes.

In particular, the middle-aged man with deer antlers on his head and wearing a red scale-covered robe in the center of the eight figures had his brows furrowed.

This middle-aged man possessed an aura as deep and mysterious as the sea, and his eyes held two bright moons. His terrifying presence was enough to make the millions of cultivators in Chenhui change color.

The ruler of the Burning Scale Demon Kingdom, the Burning Scale Demon King!
A powerful, monstrous demon at the late seventh rank, a terrifying being who has ruled the demon kingdom for two thousand years.

"A cowardly fellow who hides his true colors!"

He whispered a soft shout, and the two bright moons in his eyes leaped out in an instant, soaring across the sky and transforming directly into two silver moons.

His eyes transformed into the moon, thoroughly surveying heaven and earth.

Great supernatural power, the Divine Eye of the Nine Netherworlds Bright Moon.

"call!"

A cool aura flowed between heaven and earth, and the originally chaotic and formless spiritual energy now "manifested" itself, with spiritual energy flowing endlessly in the air like seven-colored threads.

The Nine Netherworld Bright Moon Divine Eyes are divine eyes that can "see through" the flow of the Qi of heaven and earth. As long as one is a cultivator who needs to rely on the power of heaven and earth, there is nowhere to hide under these eyes.

Moreover, the flow trajectory of all spells, supernatural powers, and even immortal seals will be revealed by the bright moon, allowing one to anticipate the enemy's moves.

A divine inspiration manifested, and all the auspicious clouds became as if transparent, naturally revealing what lay behind them.

The eight great demons and Mahayana cultivators of the Burning Scale Demon Kingdom all changed color.

"One, two, three, ten, twenty, thirty..."

The Mahayana divine sense was so vast that it could see the number of people behind the auspicious clouds at a glance. However, seemingly in disbelief, some people silently counted again.

In the center of the chaotic spiritual energy, behind the vast auspicious clouds, stood thirty Mahayana cultivators.

This chaotic scene, which stirs up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, is not some kind of magic, but rather a strange phenomenon caused by thirty Mahayana cultivators gathering too close together, absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy, and their great power being superimposed!

"The Heavenly Star Palace?"

"A Xuanhuang cultivator?"

Above the sky, two bright moons shone brightly, illuminating the faces of the thirty Mahayana cultivators. The Burning Scale Demon King frowned and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.

"call out!"

At the same time, he gently pinched a golden talisman in his right hand hidden in his sleeve, ignited it, and it turned into seven barely visible rays of light, which he wanted to disappear into the void.

He had heard a little about the fact that dozens of Xuanhuang Mahayana cultivators had entered Chenhui, but he had never seen any movement from them before, so he hadn't paid any attention to it. But seeing such a scene today, he immediately understood that the information was true and that the Xuanhuang Mahayana cultivators were indeed very ambitious.

Even with his temperament and status, the thirty Mahayana monks were terrified and immediately realized that they needed to contact other demon kingdoms, otherwise there would be great disaster.

"Hiss!!"

But as soon as the seven rays of light ignited, streaks of lightning appeared in the void, as if seven clouds of tribulation had appeared above the light, turning it into dust.

"Boom!"

Moreover, the sky above the demon kingdom, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, seemed to be shrouded in a faint, intermittent lightning. If someone were to look from above the gale, they would see that the thousands of lightning bolts resembled a giant purple cage, which had somehow enveloped the entire demon kingdom.

The mysterious workings of heaven and earth seemed to be locked within this cage of thunder, unable to escape even a thread.

The void itself was locked.

"When was the method of locking performed?"

The Burning Scale Demon King's expression changed. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. With a wave of his sleeve, he seemed to have drained all the spiritual energy in the entire demon kingdom, turning it into surging magical power that fell onto the two bright moons in the sky.

"call!"

A chilling aura lingered in the void, and the power of the bright moon was even greater, allowing it to probe everything within the void.

Behind the thirty Mahayana cultivators, there were twelve other Mahayana cultivators sitting cross-legged in a circle, chanting incantations and pouring their vast, ocean-like magical power into an array plate.

Above that array plate, there was a dazzling thunderous seal, with several imposing characters: Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Immortal Prison Seal!
The character "仙" (immortal) among these seven large characters was originally blurry and seemed not to exist. However, under the infusion of the power of these twelve Mahayana practitioners, the array plate shone brightly, projecting divine light and forcibly completing the character "仙" temporarily.

The secret treasure of the Moral Sect, the Heavenly Dao Treasure Plate!

This disc takes a different approach and possesses immense power. It can absorb the power of multiple Mahayana cultivators, forcibly elevating a Dharma Seal into an Immortal Seal, and it also possesses terrifying power that transcends realms.

However, at least eight Mahayana cultivators would need to contribute all their magical power to activate this treasure and elevate it to the Immortal Seal.

Therefore, although this treasure is powerful, it has only been gathering dust in the treasure vault of the Moral Sect for so many years.

After all, the Moral Sect couldn't gather that many Mahayana cultivators.

However, this campaign against Chenhui was different. The number of Mahayana cultivators was simply outrageous. Therefore, the sect leader of the Morality Sect brought this treasure with him, hoping to gain merit from it and exchange it for a lot of spiritual food to improve his cultivation and refine an immortal seal.

This is also why the Five Veins Dharma Assembly invited all the Mahayana cultivators from the five continents.

The goal is to ignite their passion.

After all, these ancient sects possess many treasures that even the Dao lineage lacks.

By gathering the resources of these ancient sects, this campaign against Chenhui will be foolproof.

"Boom!"

At this moment, with the blessing of twelve Mahayana cultivators and the Heavenly Dao Treasure Plate, the Purple Heaven Immortal Seal of the Purple Heaven erupted with the power of the Heavenly Palace Immortal Seal.

Countless purple lightning bolts flickered and shone, like thousands of dragons baring their fangs and claws, imprisoning the entire Burning Scale Demon Kingdom within its walls.

This prison isolates the realm of the living and the dead, possessing the power of endless confinement.

Furthermore, the chaotic spiritual energy of the thirty Mahayana cultivators meant that even the Demon Kingdom's ruler, a late-stage seventh-order cultivator, didn't notice it at first.

Although they realized it by then, it was too late.

"Return to the Demon Kingdom and activate the Void Heaven Array!"

Seeing the Purple Heaven Thunder Prison suppressing everything, the Burning Scale Demon King's face turned deathly pale, his eyes filled with solemnity. The power of this entire world of the Xuanhuang Ancient Land was simply beyond the reach of his medium-sized demon kingdom.

All attempts to obstruct it are futile and futile.

No matter how great the supernatural power or how divine the immortal seal, as long as one does not become an immortal, they are all destined to be reduced to dust in the face of this power.

Resistance is pointless. The best course of action now is to take advantage of the fact that the mountain gate formation has not yet been breached, activate the void formation, leave this place, or inform other demon kingdoms to come to our aid.

"boom!!"

In an instant, the "eight suns" above the Demon Kingdom all fell into the Demon Kingdom, their bodies shrouded in countless spells and supernatural powers, as if they wanted to lend the Demon Lord a hand, break through the barrier of the Purple Heaven Thunder Prison, activate the Void Heaven Array, and leave this place.

But it was all destined to be in vain.

Mahayana cultivators and seventh-order demons, in the past, which one of them wasn't a person who roamed freely in the celestial realm, high and mighty?

But when the power of an entire world comes crashing down, only power that transcends boundaries can withstand it.

Does the Burning Scale Demon Kingdom possess such power?

If it were true, the Burning Scale Demon King wouldn't be in such a hurry to open the Void Heaven Passage and escape.

"boom!!"

The combined strength of more than forty Mahayana practitioners working together as one was truly astonishing.

The once indestructible Heavenly Canopy Array, regarded by millions of demons as an indestructible force, began to groan in agony after being bombarded repeatedly.

"We have no grudges against each other, why force me to this?"

The Burning Scale Demon King tried his best to activate his divine powers, gathering the strength of eight great demons in an attempt to break the Thunder Prison Cage. However, he was unable to break it for a while. Helpless, he could only turn around and roar at the sky.

"Slaying demons and eliminating evil is the way of Heaven!"

Above the sky, Gu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm.

Although his strength is already extremely terrifying, if he were to fight one-on-one against the Burning Scale Demon King, he might not have a perfect chance of winning.

This is a powerful being in the late Mahayana stage, who controls the resources of an entire demon kingdom.

But... faced with the power of the entire Xuanhuang realm, they could only helplessly beg for mercy.

Without transcending this obstacle, it would be difficult to withstand the combined attack of forty-two people.

Although it seems unfair that they outnumbered each other.

But... what's the point of talking about morality with evil spirits and heretics?
Let's go side by side!
The Mahayana cultivators behind him were all eagerly awaiting the arrival of immortal materials to enhance their strength!
How can the Nine Stone Sect possibly feed dozens of mouths?
"With such a grand display, how could the demon Chenhui not be afraid?"

"Divide and win over, that's the key!"

"I am willing to submit to the Xuanmen sect and follow its lead in the great cause of Xuanhuang!"

"I can lure together the rulers of many demon kingdoms and annihilate them!"

The Burning Scale Demon King's expression was extremely solemn. Seeing the mountain-protecting formation crumbling bit by bit, it immediately raised its head and shouted loudly at the sky.

Chen Jian?

So what? The most important thing is to lead the entire demon kingdom to survival!

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan merely chuckled: "The immortal path values ​​life, and subduing demons and making them reform is indeed the proper course of action, but... you are not worthy!"

"How could I not be worthy?!"

The Burning Scale Demon King roared, and at the same time, crimson flames spread from his heart, and his eyes were crimson, as if a terrifying demonic aura was emerging.

Faced with such a question, Gu Yuan did not answer, but the Supreme Lord of Yujing took a step forward and presented a white jade stele without any words.

The stele was blank and devoid of any spiritual light, yet the Burning Scale Demon King felt an unprecedented tremor in his heart.

"Burning Scale Demon King, your merits..."

The name of the Demon King appeared on the stone tablet, but there was no number above the words "merit" and "merit," only a black shadow.

"No!"

At the same time, the Burning Scale Demon King cried out in panic. His demonic power was like a deflated balloon, flowing away uncontrollably. In the blink of an eye, he became a little demon with no cultivation, unable to even maintain his transformation technique, and turned into a small deer covered with red scales.

Then the Heavenly Principle Stele shone again, this time on the other major demons.

Among them, only one great demon had accumulated merits, and his handwriting was pure white.

Immediately afterwards, the Jade Capital Venerable put away the Immortal Stele, and without even looking at the demons, he turned his gaze to the Northern Realm, just like Gu Yuan.

"Can you sense anything?"

Gu Yuan asked.

"The Immortal Stele is temporarily unresponsive, seemingly unable to detect the merits."

The Venerable Jade Capital frowned slightly.

"Something is indeed strange..."

Gu Yuan also frowned.

He chose the Burning Scale Demon Kingdom as his second target for conquest for two reasons: first, because the demon kingdom had committed countless evil deeds; and second, because the demon kingdom possessed abundant immortal materials, and several Xuanhuang Mahayana cultivators could find the materials they needed there.

Besides, there is another reason.

This demon kingdom is the closest demonic force to the desolate valley of the Supreme Being Wuyai.

"Let's deal with this country first; we can discuss the matter of the desolate valley later."

Gu Yuan temporarily ignored the matter and gave instructions to the Jade Capital Venerable.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Venerable Jade Capital received the order and departed.

Conquering a demon kingdom, something that seems incredibly dangerous to outsiders, is nothing more than commonplace under the overwhelming power of the Xuanhuang realm.

There was little resistance.

Everything came to an abrupt end quickly.

Before long, Gu Yuan sat cross-legged in the new cave.

After setting up the restriction, he reached out and flipped his hand, taking out the liquid stone again.

Previously, in order to find a place for Xuanhuang Mahayana to settle down, he needed to stay in Tianxing Palace and could not go out. Now that he had conquered the Burning Scale Demon Kingdom, it was time to see if this so-called "desolate valley" had any opportunities for adventure.

Let's also take a look at what the Venerable Wuya is trying to do.

"boom!"

The liquid stone entered my eyes, and in an instant, the world spun around, turning back into a hazy gray line.

Countless points of light drifted in Gu Yuan's line of sight.

But Gu Yuan didn't linger and looked directly toward the desolate valley in the northern border.

"boom!"

A dazzling golden light immediately catches the eye.

A shimmering, pale golden light illuminated half the sky, stirring Gu Yuan's emotions.

A pale golden opportunity?!

Could there really be a chance to conquer the wilderness in this desolate valley?
Could it really be the secret to becoming an immortal?
