Zhutian: Invincible from the Martial Spirit

Chapter 271 Conquering the Demon
The silver-haired old man went out temporarily to deal with an emergency and soon came back riding on the clouds.

"Hear carefully, the assessment place for you who are going to join the Yinglong Guard is in the Great Wilderness of Yushan Mountain!"

"Yushan Great Wilderness is one of the most famous dangerous places in Anchan County. What you have to do is to survive in Yushan Great Wilderness for three months and bring back the head of a great Wanxiang demon."

"If you complete these two conditions, you can join our Yinglong Guard!"

"If you die in the Prison Mountain Wild Swamp, or if you return without the head of the Great Monster of All Things, or if you have the head but return early, you will all be considered a failure!"

"Did you hear it clearly?" The silver-haired old man glanced at them.

All the hundred immortal cultivators nodded to show that they understood.

There are many tests for joining Yinglongwei. The one they encountered was just to kill a big demon in the Wanxiang realm, which was quite normal.

"Okay, in that case, you guys can set off now!" The silver-haired old man nodded, "I hope to see you guys come back with the big demon's head in three months."

"Remember... don't underestimate those big monsters!"

Gu Yi and others entered the teleportation formation one by one, and the ten simple old men next to them immediately activated the formation.

hum!
The tower-shaped teleportation formation lit up with a dim gray light that enveloped the surroundings. The white light at the top of the tower suddenly increased in brightness by thousands of times, as dazzling as the golden crow sun in the sky.

When the white light dimmed, Gu Yi and the others had disappeared and arrived at the Yushan Wilderness in an instant.

Gu Yi watched the surrounding space fluctuate, but it calmed down in an instant, and he felt a little emotional in his heart.

In terms of teleportation arrays, the Wu Ji world is more popular than the three realms of Manghuang.

However, the transmission technology of the Three Realms is extremely stable and fast. It is true space teleportation, and a distance of two million miles is covered in a flash.

And in the Wu Ji world, it is more like the folding of space, opening up a passage between two places and shrinking the distance into an inch.

They each have their own merits.

Gu Yi now has no time to think carefully about the difference between the ways of space in these two worlds.

He looked around carefully and found that he and other cultivators were in a teleportation array about a hundred feet high and smaller than the one on the Red Dragon Mountain Range.

Further away, there is a vast wilderness and swamps. There are mountains, swamps, and wilderness everywhere, and there is no end in sight.

Outside the formation, two old men in plain clothes urged them to come out.

A group of immortal cultivators left the teleportation formation.

An old man with gray hair shouted, "Hear me carefully, this is where our Yinglong Guards are stationed in the Great Wilderness of Yushan Mountain. For you, this is the only safe place in the Great Wilderness..."

The old man gave Gu Yi and the others detailed instructions on four things to note when traveling in the Great Wilderness of Yushan, asking them to act within their capabilities and be careful of the various dangers in the Great Wilderness.

"Go, go, I hope I can see you again in three months."

After the old man finished speaking, he asked everyone to leave the mountain.

brush!brush!brush!
Gu Yi and the others did not stay any longer. Immediately, streaks of light flew out of the mountain and flew towards the distance.

Some travel alone, while others travel in groups of three or four, hoping to work together to spend three months in the Prison Mountain Wilderness and slay the great demon.

Gu Yi randomly chose a direction and stepped into the Prison Mountain Wilderness alone.

The Yushan Wilderness is extremely large in area. Legend has it that it was the place where gods, demons and immortals fought a great battle in the ancient era of gods and demons. As a result, this place has been torn into pieces. The space in many places is very chaotic, and terrible power remains, making it a dangerous place.

But the Yushan Wilderness is also a place rich in resources, containing many precious natural treasures.

Many spiritual creatures of heaven and earth, such as earth fire, cold evil, and wind evil, were born here.

They are Gu Yi’s primary target.

However, it is not easy to find these spiritual objects of heaven and earth.

It requires careful exploration.

If no spiritual creatures from heaven and earth can be found, then the next best thing is to hunt down all the great monsters in the Great Wilderness and plunder their caves and possessions.

As one of the top ten dangerous places in Anchan County, the most common creatures in the Yushan Wilderness are the fifth-level all-encompassing monsters, and the purple mansion monsters can be seen everywhere.

As for the great demon spirit, it is extremely rare.

For Gu Yi now, as long as it is not a great demon who has comprehended a complete path, he is not afraid of any great demon!
And it is obviously impossible for such a great monster to exist in the Great Wilderness of Yushan Mountain.

After all, the big monsters here are all "scattered monsters" without any powerful inheritance, and the Qi-refining methods they practice are not very advanced.

They are not like the top talented disciples of the Black and White Academy. They will not deliberately suppress their own cultivation. They must realize a complete way before Yuanshen Taoist.

They wish their cultivation level could be as high as possible, and once they are able to break through to a higher level, they will improve rapidly.

Normally, only ordinary earth-returning immortals, wandering immortals, and demon immortals can comprehend a complete path.

It is impossible for demons and immortals to exist in this vast wilderness of Yushan Mountain.

Once such a being appears, it will either be besieged and killed by the Yinglong Guards, or choose to leave and join the Great Xia Dynasty, local princes, or establish its own sect.

For such a monster, even if it is a big monster in the early stage of Yuanshen, Gu Yi can fight it for a while and then float away.

"These great monsters have lived in the Prison Mountain and Great Wilderness for countless years, and they must have collected a large amount of resources."

Gu Yi piloted the flying boat through the clouds and mist, his mind scanning the mountains and swamps below.

"And through the local snakes like the Wanxiang Great Demon, we might be able to find some traces of earth fire, cold evil and other spiritual creatures of heaven and earth."

The Yushan Great Wilderness is too vast, covering an area of ​​millions of miles in radius, which is even larger than the territory of the Wujian Sect.

There are not many great monsters in the Prison Mountain and the Great Wilderness.

Most of the mountains are inhabited by some purple mansion monsters who rule the mountains, and under their command are a group of innate monsters that can transform into human form and a group of smaller monsters.

Gu Yi randomly picked a nearby monster with a perfect purple mansion and broke the simple defensive formation outside his cave with one shot.

After using the Blood Talisman of Life and Death to make him experience a feeling that was worse than death.

The purple mansion monster honestly told Gu Yi all the information he knew.

For example, there are several famous hilltops nearby where the Great Wanxiang Demon is located, where there are high-quality natural treasures.

It’s a pity that Gu Yi didn’t get any information about the underground fire and cold evil from him.

"Don't worry, there is still a lot of time, you can slowly look for it."

Gu Yi casually shot and killed this worthless monster, and his flesh and blood turned into rolling blood and evil spirit that poured into the Blood Soul Gun.

He also took away the few human-level magic weapons and talismans in the monster's cave.

These can barely be sold for a few dozen kilograms of Yuanye.

According to the information provided by the Purple Mansion monster, Gu Yi went straight to the locations of the nearest few great monsters.

Because of the rich resources in the Yushan Wilderness, human cultivators often come here.

Not to mention that every once in a while, the Yinglong Guards of Anchan County would conduct assessments here, asking a group of immortal cultivators to hunt down all kinds of monsters.

For monsters, the Yushan Great Wilderness is extremely dangerous.

Therefore, all the monsters here, whether they are in the Purple Mansion Realm or the Myriad Things Realm, will help each other and make oaths to each other.

Once encountering danger, the big demon will immediately crush the signal talisman to let other big demons come quickly.

The eight great monsters selected by Gu Yi are like this. They are entrenched in this area and it is rare for them to be killed.

Unfortunately, their end has come.

The formation outside the cave of the Great Demon Wanxiang also failed to stop Gu Yi. After a few shots, the formation was broken.

Inside the cave, a great demon named Wanxiang looked at Gu Yi, who was like a murderous god outside, with a terrified look on his face, and quickly crushed the talisman in his hand.

The other seven great monsters who received the news rushed over as quickly as possible.

Gu Yi also intended to capture all the great monsters nearby, so he did not kill him instantly, but let him delay for a while.

Soon, seven streams of light flew over from a distance. "Second brother!"

"Brothers, kill this immortal cultivator together!"

The eight great demons shouted loudly, took out their magic weapons, or revealed their true forms, and rushed towards Gu Yi.

Among these eight great Wanxiang demons, three are in the late Wanxiang stage and five are in the early Wanxiang stage, and they are all very powerful.

Huge stars appeared above them, and eight bright moons were suspended one by one in the starry sky.
This is the Dharma image of Wanxiang Zhenren, 'The Bright Moon Rises over the Sea'!
No matter they are human or demon, cultivators in the Myriad Realm, when they break through, will evolve three strange phenomena in their Purple Mansion because of their cultivation methods and talents: 'stars in the sky, the moon rising over the sea, and the sun rising in the east'!
Afterwards, with the sun and the moon as the core, surrounded by the stars, he sensed the stars in the outside world, operated according to the mysterious laws, and the purple palace began to flourish, cultivating the corresponding Dharma image.

The stars are shining, the bright moon is in the Jade Rabbit, and the morning sun is shining on the Golden Crow!
The worst one shows countless bright stars, the slightly better one shows bright stars and a bright moon, and the top one shows billions of stars and the bright moon and sun at the same time.

These eight great all-encompassing demons have no inheritance, so the Dharma images they condensed are merely the second-rate Star and Moon Dharma images.

However, even the second-level Dharma image can significantly increase strength.

The bright moon cast its cold light, as if a sharp blade was about to kill Gu Yi.

Unfortunately, everything was in vain.

"die!"

A cold voice uttered from Gu Yi's mouth, and the Blood Soul Spear cut through the void. The three energies of water, fire, and thunder swirled on its surface, interweaving to form a chaotic and sharp powerful domain field.

Countless spear beams appeared out of nowhere, tearing apart the star and moon images of the big monsters and destroying their magic weapons.

"not good!"

All the great demons felt the breath of death and frantically mobilized the energy in their purple palace dantian, trying their best to resist Gu Yi's attack.

A few booms.

Three great demons in the late Wanxiang stage were knocked away by the huge force, and their bodies hit the rocks hard, causing the rocks to break and the trees to fall, and their breath suddenly became weak.

But at least they were alive.

However, the five great monsters in the early stage of Wanxiang were not so lucky.

Puff puff……

As five sounds appeared, they were all shot through the head, and the violent energy instantly shattered their souls.

The three big monsters were so frightened upon seeing this that they no longer had any thought of continuing to fight. They were seriously injured by one blow and were about to use escape techniques to flee.

But at this moment, a powerful divine thought swept down from the sky, and a palace of divine thoughts rushed into their sea of ​​consciousness, directly shocking them into confusion.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Yi snapped his fingers and shot out a few drops of blood, which turned into tiny and exquisite blood-colored talismans and fell into the bodies of the three living universal monsters.

A part of the power cooperates with the divine palace to enter the sea of ​​consciousness of the great demons, infecting their souls like a deadly poison;
Some of it penetrated into their flesh, blood and bones, and merged into their burning fire of life!
The next second, a sharp pain that penetrated deep into the soul instantly swept through the three big demons' bodies, waking them up from their coma.

Ahhhhh!
The three demons wailed and transformed back into their original forms, rolling around in the mountains, trying to eliminate the pain in their bodies.

They wailed for a full quarter of an hour before Gu Yi had a thought and calmed the Blood Talisman of Life and Death through the air.

"If you don't want to die, then just submit to me obediently."

The tip of the Blood Soul Spear pointed at the three monsters lying on the ground, and Gu Yi's indifferent voice slowly sounded.

The three great monsters showed fear on their faces and their eyes kept changing.

Surrender? This is clearly slavery!

If they agreed, they would become Gu Yi's spirit beast slaves and would no longer have any freedom.

But I don’t agree...

Thinking of the situation just now that was worse than death, they couldn't help but shudder.

"three two……"

Hearing the countdown above their heads, two of the big monsters quickly lowered their heads and shouted that they were willing to surrender.

But a leopard demon with a dark body shouted, "You want me to be your spirit beast slave? Dream on! I would rather die than let you succeed!"

The proud black leopard demon was about to self-destruct.

It’s a pity that his movements were not as fast as Gu Yi’s spiritual thoughts.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, the Blood Talisman of Life and Death was activated, and severe pain swept through the leopard monster's body. He had no energy to control the raging vitality and blood in his body, and the self-explosion was quickly suppressed.

"You want to die? It's not that easy."

Gu Yi smiled playfully, and forced a drop of round and full golden blood out from the fingertips of his right hand. In front of the three monsters, the drop flew into the body of a dead silver-feathered falcon monster.

Soon, the falcon demon's blood began to circulate strangely, and a part of its originally shattered and dissipated soul was forcibly left behind and returned to its body.

After a while, the falcon demon opened its eyes and came back to life!
"Master!" The falcon demon knelt down respectfully to Gu Yi.

Seeing this scene, both the two big monsters who had chosen to surrender and the leopard monster tortured by the blood talisman were stunned.

They never imagined that even if they were dead, the immortal cultivator in front of them could bring them back to life and continue to be his slaves, or puppets!
The leopard demon, who originally had a look of death on his face, suddenly had a dim look in his eyes.

The two great monsters nearby also hurried to persuade the leopard monster.

If he were to be enslaved even after death, there would be no point in committing suicide. It would be better for him to keep his life. At least he could still be alive and continue to practice.

"I... am willing to surrender."

In the end, under the double blow, the leopard demon chose to surrender.

"Very good." Gu Yi nodded.

This is a good beginning.

Gu Yi prepared this plan after entering the Prison Mountain Wilderness.

Compared to killing the Great Demon of All Things, Gu Yi would rather control as many of them as possible, make them work for him, help him explore dangerous places in the Prison Mountain and the Great Wilderness, and collect traces of spiritual creatures in heaven and earth.

After all, this place is so vast that he can't handle it alone.

With more subordinates, the probability of finding spiritual objects will be greater, which can save a lot of time.

As for why he used the Blood Talisman of Life and Death which only had a controlling effect, instead of the Blood Shadow Technique which could turn others into puppets and had a higher degree of loyalty.

This is because every time the Blood Shadow Technique is performed, a portion of Gu Yi's soul power is required.

The stronger the blood shadow puppet's control ability, the more residual souls are required.

Therefore, the number of fifth-order (Universal Realm) blood shadow puppets that Gu Yi can actually control is actually not that many, at most twenty or thirty.

And within the vast wilderness of Yushan Mountain, there are more than dozens or even hundreds of huge monsters!

This is because his soul power has already reached the fifth level, and his mental will is that of a sixth-level silver war spirit.

Like Gu Yi’s first few blood shadow puppets, Tang Hao, Tang Xiao and several elders of the Haotian Sect had long been abandoned by Gu Yi, who took back the residual souls and blood essence in their bodies.

The same is true for some weaker blood shadow puppets.

And the puppet whose residual soul and essence blood were taken back would naturally be completely reduced to ashes.

Just like the previous Purple Mansion Perfect Monster, it will be destroyed after use.

Only an alchemy talent like Han Feng would be preserved by Gu Yi until now.

But it won't be long before he is 'destroyed'.

Therefore, in the Prison Mountain and the Great Wilderness, you can use the Blood Talisman of Life and Death to control the big monsters.

After taking away all the storage magic weapons from the eight great monsters, Gu Yi said.

"You three demons, tell me the locations of all the great demons you know of."

"Also, do you know where there are spiritual objects from heaven and earth, or other natural treasures..."
