I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 709 Help
Xia Daoming looked calmly at the Black Hyena King's pitiful appearance of begging for mercy and said indifferently, "Originally, given your past misdeeds, you should be executed! However, my master uncle is short of a celestial beast to guard the cave. From today onwards, you will serve as my master uncle's loyal watchdog, and I will spare your life."

"I'm willing, I'm willing!" The Black Hyena King was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.

In the world of demons, the strong are respected.

Even the Golden Immortal who captured him had to submit to Xia Daoming and Yue Huang. The Black Hyena King felt no humiliation at having to guard Yue Huang's cave as an eleventh-level True Immortal. On the contrary, he was overjoyed at having been lucky enough to escape with his life.

After all, he had only reached the eleventh stage of cultivation two thousand years ago. If nothing unexpected happened and he cultivated diligently, even if he couldn't reach the twelfth stage, he would still have at least eight thousand years of lifespan left. Naturally, he didn't want to die young.

"Reveal your true form, unleash your divine soul!" Xia Daoming said calmly.

"Yes Yes."

Upon hearing this, the Black Hyena King rolled on the ground and transformed into a ferocious beast the size of a calf, with black mane all over its body resembling both a wolf and a tiger, and a pair of long, sharp fangs.

This beast is called the Black Hyena. Legend has it that it is the offspring of a celestial wolf and a black tiger from ancient times. This demon race is rare and has some potential.

After revealing its true form as a black hyena, the Black Hyena King acted like a domesticated mythical beast, completely suppressing its ferocity. It came to Xia Daoming's feet and obediently lowered its head.

Xia Daoming pointed a finger at its brow, and a very faint phantom was extracted from it.

Then he imbued the phantom into a jade talisman, drew several seals and restrictions on it, and handed it to Yue Huang, saying, "Uncle-Master, use the blood sacrifice method to refine this jade talisman, and you will be able to use it to control this fiend in the future."

"Thank you very much, Sect Leader! You're so kind!" Yue Huang accepted the jade talisman with a joyful expression.

He came to oversee Biyuan County, but apart from his disciple Tong Li, he had no capable subordinates. Now, with the addition of an eleventh-rank demon immortal at his disposal, he could share many of the burdens.

"Senior Uncle, you're too kind." Xia Daoming smiled modestly, then glanced at the five people, including Lü Tan, who were still somewhat dazed. After thinking for a moment, he said to Tong Li, who was sitting to his right, "Junior Sister Tong, although these five are not exceptionally talented, their Dao hearts are firm and they are loyal. In my early years, I also spent some effort helping them temper their bodies and souls and solidify their foundations, so they have some potential. Why don't you temporarily take them as your nominal disciples and cultivate and guide them more in the future? If they are capable of being cultivated in the future, you can then take them as your personal disciples. What do you think?"

In his early years, out of modesty, Xia Daoming always addressed Tong Li as "Senior Sister".

Now that he has become the sect leader and the supreme leader of the sect, even elders like Yue Huang have to refer to themselves as disciples in formal occasions. It is no longer appropriate for him to be so humble, so he has changed his form of address.

In fact, Tong Li had made this suggestion long ago, and out of respect for Xia Daoming, she had long since started calling him her senior brother.

“Since the headmaster recommends me, I am naturally willing,” Tong Li nodded.

Seeing Tong Li nod in agreement, the five people who had been in a daze suddenly snapped out of their daze.

Without Xia Daoming saying anything more, the five of them had already come before Tong Li and knelt down in unison, bowing and saying, "Greetings, Master!"

"Good, good!" Tong Li was in a great mood as she suddenly gained five new disciples. "Now that you have become my disciples, you are disciples of the Qingyuan Sect. Why don't you go and pay your respects to our Headmaster and Grandmaster?"

Upon receiving the order, the five men respectfully paid their respects to Xia Daoming first, and then to their grandmaster Yue Huang.

As the headmaster's uncle, Xia Daoming naturally had to give a gift upon meeting, and casually took out some elixirs and medicines to bestow upon them.

The five of them had only met True Immortals once or twice. Given Xia Daoming's current status and wealth, even the slightest thing slipping through his fingers was a great opportunity that they could only dream of.

The five were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

Yue Huang, as the grandmaster, also bestowed some gifts upon him.

He was, after all, a True Immortal of the Twelve Assemblies, so the gifts he bestowed upon him were naturally of considerable value.

Afterwards, everyone reminisced for a while before dispersing. Inside the main hall, only Xia Daoming and his apprentice Xingyi remained.

"Your progress is good; it seems you haven't slacked off at all during this time. However, I hope you can take over as the City God of Biyuan County as soon as possible and rule the entire Biyuan County. Your current cultivation level is still quite lacking. Fortunately, your Sea Dragon King bloodline is relatively pure, and I also obtained some opportunities on this trip, which can help you accelerate your progress." Xia Daoming looked at Xingyi for a moment and then said after thinking for a while.

"This disciple will strive to cultivate diligently, live up to Master's high expectations, and ascend to the position of City God as soon as possible!" Although Xingyi did not understand why her master wanted her to take the position of City God, she still said with a firm expression.

"Alright, I will first help you enter the Seventh Ascension Realm." Xia Daoming said, pressing his hand on Xingyi's Baihui acupoint. Immediately, a vast and pure water force poured down from her head, and at the same time, a Daoist sound followed the water force down, echoing within her body.

a few days later.

Xingyi naturally passed the tribulation and became a Seventh-Rank True Immortal.

Several more days passed.

After Xingyi stabilized her cultivation level, Xia Daoming summoned the Azure Feather Eagle King.

"Cang Yu, come and lend Xingyi a hand!"

Metal generates water, and the Azure Feather Eagle King belongs to the metal element in the Five Elements theory, cultivating the Geng Metal Sword Dao.

Xingyi has the bloodline of the Sea Dragon King and belongs to the water element in the Five Elements theory.

Xia Daoming intends to use the power of the Azure Feather Eagle King Golden Immortal to stimulate the Star Ripple Water Force, and even further activate her Sea Dragon Bloodline.

"Disciple will obey the Sect Leader's decree!" The Azure Feather Eagle King bowed and accepted the order, then walked to Xingyi and said respectfully, "Senior Sister, please sit cross-legged in front of me. This method will cause pain, so please guard your mind!"

"Thank you for your help, Junior Brother!" Xingyi's cultivation level was limited, and although she didn't understand how the Azure Feather Eagle King could help her, she still politely returned the greeting and then sat down cross-legged.

Cangyu Diao Wang and Xingyi sat down, and just as Xia Daoming had done a few days ago, he placed his hand on her Baihui acupoint.

Instantly, strands of incomparably pure Geng metal energy slowly flowed in.

Strangely enough, Geng metal is associated with killing and warfare.

This force entering the body should have harmed both body and mind.

But the result was quite the opposite. This power entered her body and, like rain nourishing all things, nurtured and promoted the immortal energy and the bloodline of the Sea Dragon King within Xingyi's body.

On the other hand, Geng metal ultimately represents killing and warfare.

Even though the Azure Feather Eagle King tried his best to restrain himself, the process of nourishing things was still as violent as a storm, causing Xingyi great pain.

She tried her best to uphold her Daoist principles, but her body still trembled uncontrollably.

Xia Daoming sat upright to the side, his golden eyes flashing as he closely observed the situation using his divine eye.

Seeing Xingyi endure the pain with great perseverance and uphold her Dao heart, he was both impressed and gratified, but he couldn't help but secretly lament that this method was unorthodox and extremely dangerous. Fortunately, Cangyu Eagle King was a Golden Immortal, while Xingyi was only a mid-level True Immortal. The difference in their cultivation levels was huge, which is why the method was used without any real danger.

If Xingyi's cultivation were any higher, reaching the Ninth Tribulation Realm, the Azure Feather Eagle King would likely have found it difficult to restrain his power and unleash this technique.

　That concludes today's update.
