I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 591 Climbing Zhu Pi Ridge
"Why do you all hope that he will undergo the tribulation in his physical body?" Xia Daoming asked with some confusion upon hearing this.

Whether Zhu Bi Shan Jun survived the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation or not, he was confident that he could easily suppress and kill him.

However, judging from Tao Yao and Hong Xia's words, it seemed that they hoped Zhu Bi Shan Jun's physical body could survive the heavenly tribulation, which was something he really couldn't understand.

Hongxia hurriedly explained, "If he transcends the tribulation in his physical body and becomes a true immortal, he might look down on Yujian Zhi and go out instead. But if he is only a illusory immortal, he will most likely build a large temple and forcibly seize the incense offerings from you to reshape his true body!"

"I see." Xia Daoming smiled faintly, a cold glint in his eyes. "Unfortunately, since he dared to hurt your master, reshaping his true form is ultimately just wishful thinking."

"Master Xia!" Xingyi said hurriedly, "A Void Immortal is no ordinary being, especially since your injuries have not yet healed. Please be sure to consider this carefully."

“No need.” Xia Daoming’s tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. “Now, take me there.”

Xingyi knew she couldn't refuse, so she said, "Then I'll gather some men—"

"No need. Bringing Cui Baisong is enough."

"He is severely injured!"

"That's why we want him to see his enemy brought to justice."

These words startled everyone present. Hongxia suddenly recalled Xia Daoming's previous words, and a thought stirred within her:

Previously, even from such a distance, he couldn't sense the presence of the Land God and Cui Baisong. Not only did he sense their presence long ago, but he also determined that both of them were injured. Based on this level of perception, he was probably even inferior to the Land God... Could it really be possible?
Thinking about it this way, Hongxia suddenly felt a surge of confidence in Xia Daoming.

“My lord, Master Xia, I would also like to go along,” Hongxia said.

“This humble servant will also go,” Tao Yao said.

"Master Xia, they are my personal attendants. It would be more convenient to give instructions if anything happens along the way." Xingyi did not immediately agree, but turned to Xia Daoming for instructions.

"Alright." Xia Daoming nodded.

-

apse.

Cui Baisong was pale and weak, but he still managed to bow: "Greetings, Your Excellency. Greetings, Master Xia."

He had personally witnessed Xingyi's tireless efforts for Xia Daoming and knew the significance of it, so he dared not neglect her.

"I've troubled you on this trip, but you won't suffer this injury in vain," Xia Daoming said calmly.

"Master Xia, you flatter me. You are a close friend of the Lord, and my mere injuries are nothing to me," Cui Baisong forced a smile.

"In that case, let's set off."

Completely bewildered, Cui Baisong whispered his questions to Tao Yao and Hong Xia. When he heard that their destination was Zhu Bi Ridge, he almost jumped up.

"Go to Zhu Pi Ridge? Zhu Pi Mountain Lord is already a mortal immortal. How can you, sir, risk such danger? This is like sending lambs to the slaughter!"

“Who said the adults were going to suppress him?” Hongxia rolled her eyes and lowered her voice. “It was Master Xia.”

Cui Baisong almost couldn't help but scream again, his mind filled with only one thought:
This world is truly insane.
-
The mountain wind howled, and night deepened.

The group set off from the land temple and hurried along the winding mountain road toward Zhu Bi Ridge.

The night in Yujian was utterly still. The distant sound of the forest echoed like surging waves, occasionally a strange bird would take flight, startling the wandering spirits in the woods. The mountain mist swirled, as if countless eyes were secretly watching. Although Cui Baisong forced himself to keep up, he was severely injured, his steps growing increasingly unsteady, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He tried several times to dissuade her, but seeing Xingyi's solemn and resolute expression, always following Master Xia's lead, he could only swallow his words.

Hongxia and Taoyao led the way on either side. The closer they got to Zhu Bi Ridge, the more uneasy they became. They felt that they hadn't planned anything for this trip, and there were only five of them. It was too impulsive and risky to just charge up Zhu Bi Ridge like this.

Among the crowd, only Xia Daoming remained indifferent, his sleeves fluttering lightly, his steps as steady as a mountain. His aura was extremely restrained, like a deep abyss, silent and still, yet making everyone's hearts feel increasingly oppressed and uncertain.

As they walked, a cliff blocked their path, and the mountain wind carried a faint smell of blood.

Cui Baisong, the mountain patrol captain, knew the Yujian Mountains best. Upon seeing this, his expression hardened, and he whispered, "We're near the outer edge of Zhupi Ridge. Xiong Pi's demons often lurk here!"

Before the words were finished, several "whoosh" sounds came from the forest, and more than a dozen black figures suddenly darted out. They were all demon soldiers covered in fur and armor, with sharp fangs, bloodshot eyes, and ferocious appearances.

"Halt! Who goes there, trespassing on Zhu Bi Ridge at night!" a demon soldier shouted, brandishing a large sword.

"How dare you! Kneel and greet the Land God!" Hongxia shouted sternly, her aura sweeping out like a tidal wave, pressing down on the demon soldiers.

Just then, from behind the demon soldiers, a burly leader swaggered out, clad in heavy armor, wielding a massive hammer, his eyes filled with arrogance.

This demon was only at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, yet it showed no fear and instead became arrogant.

His large, bell-like eyes swept over Xingyi, and he sneered, "Heh, so it's the Earth God. What's this? Have you also heard that my King has attained immortality and come to offer your congratulations?"

With that, he waved his hand dismissively and said, "In that case, you all wait here while I go back and report to the King, and then we will make a decision."

"No need to trouble yourself, I will go and find your king myself." A calm voice rang out.

"Insolence!" The leader was furious when he saw that the speaker was just a mere cultivator at the first stage of the tribulation. He immediately ordered, "Men, seize him!"

Xingyi's eyebrows furrowed, a murderous intent flashing within her. Just as she was about to make a move, she saw Xia Daoming lightly stomp his foot.

"boom!"

The void suddenly trembled, as if mountains and seas were churning.

In an instant, all the demon soldiers were struck as if by a giant hammer, screaming as they flew backward, some dead and some unconscious, only the leader remained standing in place.

But his expression suddenly changed, his muscles tensed, and he was firmly restrained by an invisible force, his eyes wide with rage, unable to move.

Cui Baisong was terrified.

He had always thought that Xia Daoming was just a Nascent Soul cultivator! But now, with just a light stomp, he had killed more than ten demon soldiers and suppressed a demon general of the same level so much that he couldn't even struggle! How could a Nascent Soul cultivator have such abilities?

Hongxia and Taoyao were also horrified, a chill creeping into their hearts. Only Xingyi's eyes flashed with a strange light, a mixture of surprise and joy, her beautiful eyes filled with reverence.

Xia Daoming raised his finger and pointed it out from a distance. A wisp of demonic light immediately shone from between the leader's eyebrows, then exploded with a roar, and his demonic energy surged violently. In an instant, his figure transformed into a jet-black tiger two zhang long, its fangs dripping blood, its aura fierce.

"Commander Cui, you are injured, so just make do with him as your mount for now," Xia Daoming said calmly.

"Ah! This humble servant dares not, cannot accept such an honor! Master Xia, please do it!" Cui Baisong was terrified and hurriedly waved his hand to decline.

Xia Daoming smiled slightly, then said no more. With his hands behind his back, he leaped and landed steadily on the black tiger's back, his posture elegant and unrestrained. The black tiger trembled, as docile as a lamb.

　That concludes today's update.
