Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 156 The First Human to Become a God

Zhao Shuang knew more about the Sunset Tomb incident than anyone else. If it weren't for the invitation from Sunset City Lord Lan, and if he wanted to see if he could meet someone or catch a leopard-scaled beast, he would not have planned to come.

After all, the most important thing in this matter, the blood of the elves, is of no use to him.

For humans, this divine blood can only strengthen the body, but for Zhao Shuang, who has practiced many magical powers, this strengthening is insignificant and he doesn't care at all.

If nothing unexpected happens, this divine blood will definitely fall into his hands.

As for Huangliang Shijun, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, he didn't care about him at all. What he cared about was to make further progress as soon as possible, break through the late stage of the Spirit Transformation stage, and strive to advance to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible.

He also prepared things for the human race, and after finishing them, he would go to the Feiling tribe.

After all, he was still quite looking forward to the opportunity with the Feiling Clan, but he didn't care much about the Four Demon Kings.

Afterwards, after exchanging greetings with Huangliang Shijun, Zhao Shuang and Lord Lan of Sunset City left the attic.

This time, Lord Lan of Sunset City naturally not only invited Zhao Shuang and Huangliang Shijun, but also invited many cultivators in the God Transformation Stage in the name of the Holy Emperor Palace.

As for the cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, only Huangliang Shijun is nearby, and the cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage of the Holy Emperor Palace will not be able to arrive in a short time.

It can only be handed over to the City Lord Lan of Sunset City and the City Lord of Sunset City of the Demon Clan. Moreover, this time there is also a demon in the Void Refinement Stage on the side of the demon clan. Zhao Shuang remembered that it was a big rat, just like the Tianlan Holy Beast, and had some friendship with Huangliang Shijun.

I hope I don't disappoint him.

A month passed like this, and all the people invited by Lord Lan of Sunset City gathered together.

And Zhao Shuang is undoubtedly the most eye-catching one.

"I never thought that I would have the honor to meet the first cultivator of our human race in the God Transformation Stage. I am so lucky."

The person who spoke was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Divine Transformation Realm, and was quite famous around Sunset City. Otherwise, Lord Lan of Sunset City would not have invited him.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, you're joking. Zhao only possesses some magical powers. I don't deserve such praise. I haven't even entered the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm."

Zhao Shuang said modestly that this fellow Daoist Jin had a body as strong as an iron tower and was obviously an immortal cultivator who had practiced the art of body refining and cultivated both magic and body. Naturally, his magical powers were much stronger than those of ordinary cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage.

"Brother Zhao, you're joking. Brother Zhao single-handedly killed many evil cultivators in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm, and your reputation has spread throughout the human race. I, Jin, admire you immensely."

Fellow Daoist Jin spoke respectfully, his words were quite sincere and there was no falsehood in his voice.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. City Lord Lan, please tell me the details. You've been here for so long, and you haven't told me yet."

Zhao Shuang changed the subject.

That incident really pissed him off, so he started a killing spree, chasing four evil cultivators in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm for tens of millions of miles, and eventually killing them all.

As for the names of the four late-stage Jin Shen cultivators, he almost forgot them.
After all, he paid little attention to those who died at his hands, and he was too lazy to pay attention or ask any more questions.

"Since Brother Zhao has spoken, I will speak frankly. This matter comes from the Holy Emperor Palace. Otherwise, how could I dare to invite all of you fellow Taoists under the order of the Holy Emperor Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Lan of Sunset City chuckled and began to explain.
Of course, he didn't dare to talk nonsense at this time, otherwise he would not know how he died.

"City Lord Lan, you mean that fellow Taoist from the Spiritual Clan is currently trapped in the Sunset Tomb. You invited us here to rescue him from the Sunset Tomb?"

After hearing the words of Sunset City Lord Lan, the middle-aged man in white robes among the cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage asked.

His expression was a bit grim, which was normal. Although the relationship between the Eldar and the Humans wasn't as deep as that between the Shadow Clan and the Yaksha, they had often clashed over territory in ancient times.

Of course, there are also periods of cooperation between the two sides, and if the spiritual treasures lost by many high-level cultivators of the human race give birth to spirit weapons on their own, they will take the initiative to seek refuge from the spirit race.

This was the case with a Saintess of the Spirit Clan. Of course, most of them were merely failed remnants. The Spirit Clan dealt with these remnants simply, refining them into elixirs or using them as puppet spirits. In short, they were not considered fellow cultivators.

Not to mention protecting these residual souls.

"Indeed, I just received news that a fellow from the Spirit Clan was seriously injured while fleeing. His injuries relapsed in the Sunset Tomb, and since the Spirit Clan is chasing him closely, he can't go directly to Sunset City. So, we need to go to the Sunset Tomb to pick him up."

Upon hearing the question, Lord Lan of Sunset City naturally would not hide anything.

"But what exactly did that fellow spirit clan member bring? You even invited Brother Zhao and Senior Huang Liang. At this point, City Lord Lan can no longer hide this."

Fellow Daoist Jin opened his mouth and asked again.

"Brother Zhao, Senior Huang Liang, and my two fellow Daoists, I truly do not know what this is, otherwise how could I have concealed it from you? I am merely inviting you all in compliance with the orders of the Holy Imperial Palace."

City Lord Lan smiled bitterly and explained.

Hearing the words "Holy Emperor Palace," the other people's expressions grew more serious. Meanwhile, Sunset City's Blue City Lord continued.

"The Holy Emperor Palace has already sent a special envoy to Sunset City. However, because of the distance, several spatial rifts separate us. Therefore, the envoy won't be able to reach Sunset City and help us in a short period of time. Therefore, all we need to do is ensure that this spirit who has defected is safe and sound, and that they can bring the object to meet the Holy Emperor Palace envoy."

"We will naturally not disobey the orders of the Holy Emperor Palace. But I am becoming more and more curious about this thing..." Huangliang Lingjun chuckled.

Zhao Shuang has remained silent on this matter and has not said a word.
"In that case, I can rest assured. In two days, we will enter the Sunset Tomb and find this spirit. He is currently hiding in the Sunset Tomb..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Shuang made a move. He shook his sleeves, and then a large green crystal hand grabbed the wall fiercely.

Seeing this scene, others looked sideways, and then, with a bang, something on the wall fell into the green crystal hand.

But the next moment, with a "bang", the thing caught in the green crystal hand exploded directly.
Then, it turned into countless gray threads, densely packed and shooting out in all directions.

"Oh no, Ten Thousand Souls Silk!"

This scene made Huangliang Lingjun scream out in surprise. He obviously recognized the gray silk thread. Immediately, he waved his sleeves and a large amount of yellow mist rolled out, submerging his body in it.

As for the other people, they were all shocked when they heard this!

The monk hurriedly snatched the Buddhist beads from his neck, transforming them into a cloud of black clouds to protect his entire body. The black-robed man snorted coldly, and suddenly a dark iron shield appeared in his hand, blocking him.

City Lord Lan opened his mouth and unexpectedly spat out a crystal-clear ice lotus. In a flash of blue light, the figure suddenly disappeared.

Just when everyone was ready to take this unexpected killing move head-on, the gray threads in the sky flashed in front of everyone's defense, and then faded and disappeared.

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

"Illusion!"

Huangliang Lingjun was the first to react. He looked at Zhao Shuang who had made the move and said, "Can you let me take a look?"

Facing Zhao Shuang, he did not dare to show the arrogance of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. On the contrary, he was very polite.

What made others envious was not Huangliang Shijun, but Zhao Shuang, a cultivator who was also in the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Although they are both in the Spirit Transformation Stage, the gap between them is really too big.

Upon hearing Huangliang Shijun's request, Zhao Shuang didn't say much. He simply spread out his large green crystal hand, which contained some silver-white powder.

Seeing this, Huangliang Lingjun immediately stretched out a finger, dipped some in it, and put it in front of his eyes to take a closer look.

As a result, the silver powder began to turn red, then yellow, and finally disappeared from the fingers out of thin air.

"It's a mature clone of the Phantom Flame Moth, willing to self-destruct. Only this spirit insect can transform its body into intangible for a short period of time, allowing it to invade this place. But one of its spirits must have taken the opportunity to escape, and its main body must be near Sunset City. I'm sure a lot of our conversation just now was overheard. Oh, and there's a demonic aura on this moth powder. It must be this spirit insect that was raised by the demon race."

After a moment, Huang Liang Lingjun confirmed the origin of the silver-white powder and said with a gloomy face.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone except Zhao Shuang looked quite unhappy.

After all, if it weren't for Zhao Shuang, their secret might have been exposed.

"Let's set off tomorrow. We must not let the people from the demon clan get ahead of us." After saying this, City Lord Lan bowed to Zhao Shuang to express his gratitude.

"Thank you Brother Zhao for your help just now. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if the demon tribe heard it."

"Lord Zhao, you are too polite. Even if I were not here, Senior Huang Liang would be able to discover it." Zhao Shuang said in a light tone.

Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Huangliang Shijun's eyes. He had indeed noticed it just now, but Zhao Shuang took action first. Then he smiled.

"Brother Zhao's perception is still more acute. His spiritual awareness is probably not inferior to that of a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage."

"Senior Huang Liang, you are too polite."

Zhao Shuang smiled slightly.

……

An hour later, on the hillside of an unnamed hill a hundred miles away from Sunset City, a handsome young man was sitting cross-legged on a rock, meditating with his eyes closed and motionless.

At this moment, above his head, there was a colorful moth the size of a fist, its wings gently flapping, emitting extremely bright and beautiful spots of light.

It was none other than the phantom flame moth that Huangliang Shijun had just mentioned.

At this moment, behind the young man, there was a slender young woman in palace dress.

It was Xiaohong, who was as close to Zhao Shuang as Guan Yu and Bao Bao.

Xiaohong has now broken through to the Void Refinement Stage. After all, the skills, magical powers, and thousand-year-old elixirs that Zhao Shuang gave her were not given for nothing. If she can't break through to the Void Refinement Stage, her aptitude will be too poor.

After a moment, a slight sound of breaking through the air was heard.

Then a thin gray thread shot down from the sky, flashed by, and disappeared into the moth above the boy's head.

At this time, the handsome young man who was sitting cross-legged also opened his eyes in time, and his eyes were unusually clear.

He waved his hand above his head and extended a white finger.

The moth immediately flew down gracefully and landed on the tip of the boy's finger as if it were nothing.

Then the light on the moth's body suddenly flickered, and the color changed unpredictably.

It took a full stick of incense time for the moth's aura to stop changing and return to calm.

"I didn't expect that not only did the old man Huangliang Shijun come, but also that fellow Daoist Zhao, the first in the Human Race to enter the Spiritual Transformation Stage, came. I'm really curious about what that rebellious spirit race has in his hands."

This young man is also a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage, and has a close relationship with Huangliang Shijun.

After a moment, the boy stood up and smiled at Xiaohong.

"Fairy Xiao, I heard that the little girl from your clan who just returned got a great opportunity in the human race. Not only did she directly advance to the ninth level, but you also broke through to the Void Refining Stage. How enviable!"

"Fellow Daoist Huan, thank you so much. It's all thanks to Dai'er. Otherwise, I would have to cultivate for thousands of years before I could break through to the Void Refining Stage. As for Dai'er, this girl has great luck. She has been taken by the clan leader to the clan's holy land for cultivation. I believe she will shine brightly after she comes out."

Xiaohong smiled and said with pride.

"Hehe, what a coincidence! Our Qiongshu tribe has also produced a young man with good talent, and he is not too old. How about a marriage between our two tribes?"

Seeing this, the boy's eyes flashed with joy and he said,

"I can't make the decision on this matter, and I'm afraid the senior who gave Dai'er the opportunity wouldn't agree."

Xiaohong refused with a smile.

"Senior, I didn't expect it to be related to a senior. If that's the case, forget it. Just pretend I never said anything."

Hearing the word "senior", the young man didn't dare to say anything more. He knew very well that anyone who could be called a senior by Xiao Hong must be a cultivator in the fusion stage.

Then he changed the subject.

"You heard what I just said. A spirit has come to the human race, seemingly carrying some valuable treasure. Even the people of the Holy Emperor Palace were alarmed. I wouldn't have known about this, but now that I know, we must not let the human race get away with it. You Phoenixes all possess spatial abilities. Immediately infiltrate the Sunset Tomb and gather our demons to spread this news. We must find the spirit before the human race does. I will secretly follow Old Man Huang Liang and the others. Perhaps I can also witness the abilities of the human race's number one Divine Transformation Stage cultivator."

"I heard that this person killed many cultivators in the late stage of the Spiritualization Stage, as well as two cultivators in the Void Refinement Stage. I don't know what his magical powers are."

Hearing this, Xiaohong's face changed slightly, and then she spoke.

"I understand, but I once met Daoist Zhao, the number one cultivator in the Human Race's Spiritual Transformation Stage. His magical powers are extremely powerful, far inferior to those of ordinary cultivators in the Spiritual Transformation Stage. If Daoist Zhao were to fight him, he must be extremely careful. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I might not be able to save him."

Xiaohong's words can be seen as both a reminder and a threat.

"Oh! I see. This makes me even more interested."

The young man sneered without any fear.
