Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 140 The First Failure of the Demon Refining Pot

South Xinjiang
In front of a lake, all the cultivators from the Ye family of the Great Jin royal family who came here were on high alert, looking at the uninvited guest in front of them with fear, vigilance, and terror: Zhao Shuang.

"Fellow Daoist, what you're saying is that the ancient demon world's sage ancestor's spirit is sealed and suppressed in Kunwu Mountain. If it's accidentally released, it will be a disaster for the entire Dajin cultivation world and even the entire human world?"

The big-headed weirdo of the Ye family's face turned extremely ugly after hearing what Zhao Shuang said.

"That's right. If you don't believe me, you can accompany me until the passage is opened. However, I have to say this beforehand: if you encounter any danger, I will not interfere. Life or death depends entirely on your luck and fate. Of course, if you release that Saint Ancestor's spirit, don't blame me for being merciless. Afterwards, I will exterminate the entire Ye family."

"Of course, if you are willing to stay here to protect us, I can also agree that from now on the Ye family will no longer be controlled by the ten major sects of the righteous and evil paths of the Dajin Dynasty. If they threaten the Ye family to do something they don't want to do, I will go there myself." Zhao Shuang nodded and promised with a smile.

"If I'm not controlled by the ten great sects of both the righteous and evil paths, I should be controlled by fellow Daoist!"

The big-headed monster's expression did not look much better than Zhao Shuang's promise. Instead, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Brother Ye is indeed a smart man. Yes, he does need to be controlled by me, but being controlled by me alone is much better than being controlled by the ten major sects of both the righteous and evil paths. What's more, I won't ask the Ye family to do anything. It's just that when we unify the entire Dajin cultivation world in the future, we need a leader, and the Ye family is quite good."

"If you fellow Taoists are unwilling, I will not force you."

Zhao Shuang admitted it without changing his smile.

"Unifying the Great Jin Immortal Cultivation World, Brother Zhao is truly bold in his ambitions."

The big-headed monster's expression became more and more strange, and he said.

"There's nothing I'm afraid of. Besides, this isn't a big deal to me. Fellow Daoist Hu from the Demonic Sect's Motuo Mountain has already agreed to help, and so has Yueyang Palace. As for the other sects, someone will go and persuade them, and I believe there will be results soon. I'm unifying the entire human world not for my own selfish desires, but to dissolve the suppressed ancient demonic energy and restore the cultivation environment of ancient times..."

Zhao Shuang took the trouble to explain it again to the big-headed monster and the Ye family. He was not unreasonable. Especially in this kind of matter, being mysterious would only cause trouble for himself, so Zhao Shuang did not mind explaining a few more times.

"So Senior Hu from the Demonic Sect and Yueyang Palace have already agreed. However, it's not impossible for the Ye family to agree. One of the two celestial treasures suppressed in Kunwu Mountain must be given to the Ye family. The Ye family's years of hard work cannot be wasted. If Brother Zhao can agree to this condition, the Ye family is willing to protect and help Brother Zhao stop those who may appear."

The big-headed monster put forward a condition that he must give an explanation to the Ye family.

"A magical treasure that can reach the sky, yes. I can agree to this."

Zhao Shuang agreed without hesitation.

For him, this is nothing at all. He doesn't care about a fake Tongtian magic treasure at all.

After all, he has so many treasures on him that it doesn't matter whether he has a supernatural treasure or not.

The important thing is to resolve the separation of Yuansha Saint Ancestor's spirit and the sealed ancient evil spirit.

"Okay, it's a deal."

The big-headed weirdo and another middle-aged Confucian scholar of the Ye family who was in the late Nascent Soul stage, looked at each other and nodded as if relieved.

"Leave the protection of the law to our Ye family. No matter which cultivators come, our Ye family will help stop them. Unless we really can't stop them, we will never let them enter Kunwu Mountain."

"Well, please open the passage."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang showed a satisfied expression and gave another instruction.

"No problem, Brother Zhao, please wait a moment."

The middle-aged scholar from the Ye family smiled.

……

at the same time
Mo Tuo Mountain

Old Monster Feng, Old Monster Xiang, the man in the ice wall of Taiyi Sect, and other cultivators from the Great Jin Immortal Realm gathered together and checked the jade slips handed over by Old Demon Hu one by one.

After the inspection was completed, everyone was silent for a while before speaking to the old monster.

"This is indeed true. If he truly possesses the means to ascend to the spirit realm and the ability to dissolve the true demonic energy left over from the ancient demonic realm, it wouldn't be difficult for him to unify the entire Dajin cultivation world. Furthermore, only by unifying the entire Dajin cultivation world can we mobilize all resources to dissolve the true demonic energy sealed and suppressed in Kunwu Mountain and the various remote areas of Dajin."

"But, what exactly is the method of ascension he mentioned? The Reverse Spirit Path?"

Old Monster Feng didn't expect that Zhao Shuang actually had this plan, which made his original plan completely fail.

"No matter what it is, as long as we can ascend to the spiritual world, it will be fine. Otherwise, our lifespan will not be long."

Old Monster Bai said in a deep voice.

"Indeed, as long as he can ascend to the spiritual world, no matter whether he unifies the human world for his own selfish desires or wants to solve the major seals and suppress the true devil's energy, it has nothing to do with us. We will just get rid of you."

Hu Lao Mo echoed.

After witnessing Zhao Shuang's magical power of the universe in his sleeves, he was the most unwilling cultivator in the God Transformation Stage to become an enemy of Zhao Shuang.

"Since you all have no objections, let's help him."

He gave the final word to the old monster.

He also wanted to meet this "old friend" from Tiannan, although neither of them might have met before.

"This is the only way. His magical power surpasses any of us. If we insist on becoming his enemy, we really don't have much chance of winning. On the contrary, agreeing to his will can prevent the destruction and extinction of our sect."

Old Monster Bai also nodded in agreement.

As the supreme elder of the largest righteous sect, he naturally did not want the Taiyi Sect to end up like the Yinluo Sect. The same went for Hu Laomo, who did not want the Tianmo Sect to end up like the Yinluo Sect.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Shuang destroyed the entire Yinluo Sect: to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

If not, it would be almost impossible to ask the old demon to help the old monster and the other cultivators in the spirit transformation stage to unify the entire Dajin cultivation world, or even the entire human world. Instead, they might be besieged, and the price they would have to pay would be too high.

This was not what Zhao Shuang wanted to see, so he chose to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

If, under such circumstances, Xiang Laoguai, Hu Laomo and other cultivators in the God Transformation Stage still insisted on being enemies, then he would have no choice but to start a massacre and solve all these troubles with his absolute strength, and unify the entire human world.
As for how many sects will be destroyed and how many cultivators will die in the process, it has nothing to do with him.

He wouldn't care too much about this. At most, it would be a war in the human world, and he was prepared for that.

It seems that there is no need to be so troublesome now.

……

At the same time, Zhao Shuang and Lin Yinping were already at a stone pavilion on the hillside of the giant mountain.

At this moment, he was looking at a long stone staircase built against the mountain in the distance! This stone staircase was built entirely of pure white jade, and from a distance it looked like a ladder to heaven.

But when you look closer, you can see that this white stone is really astonishingly wide, with a length of fifty or sixty feet.

No matter whether you look up or bow down, the stone steps are far away in the milky white mist, and you can't see anything at all.

Not long after, a ball of demonic energy flew over, and it was none other than the ancient demon Blood Flame who came with him.

As for the Ye family, they were naturally guarding outside. Although they had made sufficient preparations, they still could not cover up the strange phenomenon. This was also within Zhao Shuang's expectations and deductions.

Otherwise, he would not have asked the Ye family to protect him, but would have just let the Ye family leave.

The Ye family members plus his fierce reputation are enough to resist most of the cultivators.

"Master, I have already explored. After going up the stone steps for dozens of miles, there is an archway. It seems to be the famous Wanxiu Gate. However, this archway is sealed by a restriction. Without breaking this restriction, it is impossible to go up."

"The Gate of Ten Thousand Cultivators is indeed here. Let's go! Let's go and take a look."

Zhao Shuang chuckled.

Before he finished speaking, a purple cloud appeared in the distance and shot towards them.

In the blink of an eye, the purple mist flew to the vicinity, only a hundred feet away from the stone pavilion.

"There is a monster, master, be careful." The ancient demon Xueyan shouted.

Then, he opened his mouth and a black devil fire shot out. At the same time, a huge claw like a chicken claw stretched out from the purple mist like lightning. After a "bang", a silver light flashed on the claw.

The beast roared loudly in the purple mist, and the giant claw grabbed Mo Yan tightly. Suddenly, the monster in the mist roared in pain, and then a fierce light flashed in its eyes.

With two roars, the mist suddenly dispersed, revealing a four-winged demon bird with the head of a lion and the body of an eagle.

This monster bird has four wings spread out and is five to six feet in size. It is surrounded by purple light and looks extremely ferocious.

"Lions and beasts!"

Ancient Demon Blood Flame blurted out.

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang waved his sleeves, and then the Demon Refining Pot appeared in his hand. Compared with the other monsters that were rushing towards it, the lion beast seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying, and it ran away at the fastest speed, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"You're pretty fast, so I won't catch you for now."

Seeing the lion beast disappear, Zhao Shuang took back the Demon Refining Pot with interest and continued to move forward.

At the same time, over a certain wasteland near the border of Puyun Mansion, a group of monks were flying towards the small lake.

There are more than 20 monks, each of them is wearing a blue robe and a red scarf on their heads. The five flying in the front are at the Nascent Soul stage. In particular, there is a middle-aged monk with green lines on his face, who looks to be at the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage. His whole body aura is extremely cold, giving people an extremely dangerous feeling.

"Brother Hua, are we really going to mobilize so many people this time? You've even brought most of our Poison Saint Sect disciples out here. If anything goes wrong, it could severely damage our sect's vitality."

One of the old men in the early Nascent Soul stage said worriedly to the middle-aged cultivator with green lines on his face while flying.

"If an ordinary rare treasure came out, I would naturally not take such a risk. But this time, it is very likely to be the legendary Kunwu Mountain. For the secret treasure in this mountain, this risk is certainly worth taking." The middle-aged monk said surprisingly.

"Kunwu Mountain? Is this the sacred mountain that our sect has been looking for since its establishment?" Another gray-haired old man said in surprise.

"That's right. I mentioned this matter once after several of my fellow apprentice brothers advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. This mountain was one of the most sacred mountains in the human world in ancient times. Although we don't know why, it was sealed up by ancient cultivators with great magical powers. But there is no doubt that there are many secret treasures in the mountain. The ancestor who founded our Poison Saint Sect is actually a descendant of the ancient cultivator who sealed this mountain, but he doesn't know much about the specific location of the seal of this mountain. He only knows that this mountain is sealed somewhere in southern Xinjiang. That's why we founded our sect in southern Xinjiang and have been looking for the whereabouts of this mountain, but unfortunately there was no news from the ancestor back then. This matter was also regarded as a secret known only to the elders of all generations, and it has been passed down from generation to generation." The middle-aged cultivator said coldly after a flash of green lines on his face.

And he is none other than the Grand Elder of the Poison Saint Sect, Hua Tianqi.

"But how did Senior Brother Hua know that this astronomical phenomenon is a sign of the appearance of Kunwu Mountain? It could also be some other secret treasure?" The old man with thick eyebrows who asked the question at the beginning asked in some surprise.

"Hehe! Back then, the ancestor not only told us that Kunwu Mountain was somewhere in Southern Xinjiang, but also possessed a spiritual bead that his ancestors had personally refined. This bead was specifically made for Kunwu Mountain and can sense the famous Flying Immortal Stone on the mountain. As soon as the mountain appears, the spiritual bead will immediately sense it. And just a few days ago, this bead enshrined in the ancestral hall suddenly emitted bursts of clear chimes, and I knew that Kunwu Mountain had appeared. Even if no disciples came to report the celestial phenomenon, I would immediately send people to search all over Southern Xinjiang."

"So that's how it is!" The other four Nascent Soul cultivators were suddenly enlightened, and then all of them showed excitement on their faces.

"With the five elders of the Poison Saint Sect working together, we can fight even against a late Nascent Soul cultivator. There is nothing to worry about."

Hua Tianqi said with confidence.

"Brother is right. If we join forces, we can win even against a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. There is no need to worry at all."

The big man surnamed Yuan smiled in agreement.

……

In a misty area, a wide white stone staircase led straight up the mountain, with no end in sight. Beside the misty staircase stood a misty white stone tablet, over ten feet tall and about three feet wide.

"It is indeed here."

After seeing the stone tablet, Zhao Shuang's smile became even more intense.

"Husband, what is this and why are you so happy?"

Lin Yinping asked curiously.

"This is the Heavenly Crystal Stele, and it's also the most important treasure in the entire Kunwu Mountain. Although it's not the Tongtian Lingbao, it's more important than the Tongtian Lingbao. With this treasure, I have nothing to worry about."

Zhao Shuang did not hide anything and explained.

"So that's how it is. I didn't expect this Tianjing Stele to be so important." Lin Yinping nodded slightly, relieved.

"Well, now that we've entered Kunwu Mountain, we naturally have to be extra careful. Although I have enough strength to protect myself, it doesn't mean I'm safe enough."

Zhao Shuang said again.

"I understand,"

Lin Yinping naturally understood what Zhao Shuang meant and said.

"I don't know how many fellow Taoists will come this time. I hope there won't be too many seeking death."

Zhao Shuang shook his head.

"I hope the Ye family can hold on for a little longer..."
