Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 236: Devouring Ancestral Talisman, Great Devouring Technique, Void Devouring Flame
"Thank you so much for saving my life, Senior. I wonder if you could leave your name behind so that I can repay you in the future."

The leading elder in the Spiritualization Stage bowed respectfully towards the sky and expressed his gratitude. The other disciples followed suit.

But Zhao Shuang had no intention of showing up. He just waved his sleeves, and suddenly, two rainbow lights, one large and one small, flew towards the old man in the Spiritual Transformation Stage.

Seeing this, the old man in the Spirit Transformation Stage was not worried, nor did he sense any danger from the rainbow light.

Sure enough, a circling object stopped about ten feet in front of the old man in the Spirit Transformation Stage, revealing a large golden seal and a bottle of elixir.

"This Mountain and Sea Seal can be used without refining. This bottle of elixir is the Soul-Restoring Heart Pill, which is enough to make up for your lost vitality and mana. With that, I bid you farewell."

Then, a man's voice descended from the sky. No matter how the old man in the Spiritualization Stage thanked him, there was no response, clearly he had already left. The old man, deeply grateful, took the golden seal into his body, swallowed the elixir, and left with the others.

As for Zhao Shuang who took action, he was already ten thousand miles away at this moment. He took action this time mainly because he was in a good mood, so he took action to rescue.

If you're in a bad mood, you're naturally too lazy to take action. It must be said that this group of people were lucky to have encountered him when he was in a good mood.

And now, of course, he had to get down to business. Hmm! It should be business. Although it wasn't important to him right now, what happened next was quite interesting.

If nothing unexpected happens, the plot line is already a mess, so even Zhao Shuang himself is not sure how far it will develop. But it's better than nothing.

Zhao Shuang could only think this way. After all, this was a great thing, and it was worth it even if there were some risks.

In this way, Zhao Shuang continued on his journey towards his destination, and this journey took a full month.

A lot happened during this month, and Yitian City finally fell. The incarnation of the Bloodlight Saint, another incarnation of the Saint, and ten Demon Lords, if it were not for the backup plan left by Zhao Shuang, there would be no one left alive in the entire Yitian City.

Thanks to the backup plan left by Zhao Shuang, Yitian City still preserved most of its vitality and successfully retreated to Tianyuan City with the help of the teleportation array, adding a lot of vitality to Tianyuan City.

But they also have to face the consequences of the fall of Yitian City, and the pressure will naturally be doubled.

But before Zhao Shuang left, he naturally left a backup plan. Furthermore, Tianyuan City was the most important city for both the human and demon races, so he would definitely not let anything happen to them. The city was filled with formations and restrictions, and there were countless high-level cultivators. Adding to that the seven or eight Fusion Stage cultivators from Yitian City, it added a lot of strength, giving them even more confidence.

However, the situation is still not optimistic. However, it is not a problem to hold on until Zhao Shuang returns. Even if Zhao Shuang does not come back, there will basically be no problem.

After all, this is Tianyuan City! It is far less important than Yitian City.

Therefore, the morale is good, but if Zhao Shuang were there, it would naturally be even better.

In addition to Tianyuan City, other cities are also under great pressure as the army of the Demon Realm increases and the incarnation of the Demon Realm Saint enters the lower realm. Many medium and important cities have fallen one after another.

Fortunately, Zhao Shuang's incarnation was fine and was guarding the most important city.

Naturally, this also made the entire human and demon races more grateful to Zhao Shuang. No matter how large the demon army was or how powerful the incarnation of the Demon Saint was, as long as Zhao Shuang's incarnation was there, he could deal with everything, especially the incarnation of the Demon Saint, who had already fallen three or four times.

This made the Saint Ancestor of the Demon Realm furious. If he was not restricted by the pressure of the interface, his original body would even want to go down to the lower world and kill Zhao Shuang's incarnation.

It was so shameful that he, the incarnation of the Holy Ancestor of the Demon Realm, actually fell at the hands of the incarnation of a human cultivator in the fusion stage.

Of course, this was also due to Zhao Shuang's incarnation being incredibly powerful. His true form consisted of the Twelve Talismans, and he controlled the Strange Fire, the Ancestral Talisman, the Three Thousand Great Daos, the Acquired Heavenly Treasure, the Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, and various other magical powers and treasures—any one of which would be enough for a Mahayana cultivator to vie for. Yet, no one had yet grasped its immense value. However, they were not blind, and naturally saw its extraordinary nature.

But the most important thing now is to survive the demonic calamity, so naturally the stronger Zhao Shuang's incarnation is, the better.

Therefore, under this situation, not many cultivators coveted it. Even if they did, they did not have the ability to fight for it, because even the incarnation of the Holy Ancestor of the Demon Realm had fallen, let alone them.

Similarly, the incarnations of the Holy Ancestor of the Demon Realm have all fallen, and naturally, countless Demon Lords of the Demon Realm have died at the hands of Zhao Shuang's incarnation.

Over such a long period of time, almost every city has lost five, six, seven or eight people. What's more, in Tianling Imperial City, which is also the city with the largest demon army, thirteen demon lords and two incarnations of the demon world's saint have fallen. As for the demon army, there are tens of millions of them, and all of them have become nutrients for Zhao Shuang's incarnation.

Because the incarnation of Zhao Shuang here controls the great devouring technique, the three golden fingers of Devouring Ancestral Talisman and Devouring Flame of Nothingness, all things in the world will be devoured and become his nutrients, and then fed back to the original body of Zhao Shuang.

But, not now.

In this case, even if the Saint Ancestor of the Demon Realm came down to the mortal world, it would be impossible for him to kill Zhao Shuang's incarnation.

Because the realm of this incarnation has surpassed that of the original body Zhao Shuang and reached the peak of the late stage of fusion, it can almost be said to be 99.9% of the Mahayana stage.

But Zhao Shuang hasn't made a breakthrough yet, so naturally he can't break through either.

As for using this method to break through the Mahayana stage, Zhao Shuang had also thought about it, but without five, six, seven or eight Demon Realm Saint Ancestors and hundreds of millions of demon armies, there was no need to consider it at all.

In this way, the entire pressure of the demonic tribulation will be on him.

Of course he didn't want to do that, it would be better to go to a soul cleansing pool to do it more quickly and easily.

Even though it was just an incarnation, it still created a huge storm. Compared with the Tianling Imperial City, the pressure that Tianyuan City is currently under is nothing.

But Zhao Shuang's incarnation still took it on his own.

His power and supernatural powers were so terrifying that many demon lords in the demon world dared not take action personally anymore.

Once you encounter the incarnation of Zhao Shuang, you are doomed to die. In most cases, five or six demon lords plus a large army formation will temporarily trap it. When it is about to escape, they will quickly leave, thus prolonging the time of invading the Tianling Imperial City.

Of course, the results of the battle are still not very good in this situation. No matter how many victories are won, they will be doubled back by Zhao Shuang, but the Tianling Imperial City must be obtained.

In this situation, it is not just the numerous cultivators in the Tianling Imperial City who feel the pressure, but also the Demon Lord and high-level demons in the Demon Realm.

As for the pressure on the cultivators in the Tianling Imperial City, it was also not small, and there were also many casualties. Zhao Shuang's incarnation could only deal with high-level demons and the incarnation of the Holy Ancestor. As for the demon army, it was no longer able to deal with it and was completely restrained.

These are the messages conveyed by Zhao Shuang's incarnation, which also excited the entire human and demon races.

As long as Zhao Shuang is there, there will naturally be no problems between the human race and the demon race.

That day, Zhao Shuang arrived at his destination, a dark, primordial forest with tall trees and dense foliage. Occasionally, low animal roars could be heard, giving people a strange, eerie, and cold feeling. Zhao Shuang went deeper into it, but soon stopped again. What appeared before him was...

Seven peaks of different sizes are connected together to form a small mountain range.

In addition to him, there were two figures in his memory on a mountain peak.

One of them was fat, white, with a fair face and big ears, and was a monk wearing a purple cassock. He was Master Tianchan who was beside the Holy Emperor Tianyuan. The other one was skinny, with dark skin, and was an ugly old man who looked like a piece of burnt wood. He was Master Heiyu from the Holy Island. Both of them were monks in the fusion stage.

"My two fellow Taoists, it's been many years since we last met. I hope you are doing well!"

Zhao Shuang stepped forward and said hello with a smile.

"Brother Zhao, you actually came here,"

Following the sound, Master Tianchan and Master Heiyu looked at each other in disbelief after seeing who was coming.

"Why, are you two Daoists not welcome?"

Zhao Shuang chuckled and landed on the mountain where the two were.

"I dare not, I dare not. Brother Zhao's divine power has long been known to us. We originally thought that Brother Zhao was in seclusion to break through to the Mahayana stage. I didn't expect to meet him here. It is really an honor for us. With Brother Zhao here, it seems that there will be no more accidents."

Master Tianchan said with an expression of great joy and awe.

After all, Zhao Shuang's reputation is now known to everyone in the human and demon races, and even the nearby races.

"Oh! What's going on?"

Zhao Shuang asked knowingly.

"To be honest with you, Brother Zhao, we two are here on the orders of the Holy Island. Our main purpose is to find the Yellow Springs Fire here!" Master Tianchan smiled as he saw Zhao Shuang asking.

"Yellow Springs Underworld Fire? What's the big deal?"

Zhao Shuang raised his eyebrows and pretended to be surprised.

"To be precise, it should be from some spiritual creature in the Yellow Springs Underworld Fire."

Seeing this, Master Heiyu quickly added something, fearing that Zhao Shuang might misunderstand something.

"Spiritual object, what spiritual object?"

Zhao Shuang said in surprise.

"I wonder if Brother Zhao has heard of the 'Yellow Millet Dream Stone'." The monk Tianchan said with a smile.

"Huangliang Dream Stone! Is it just this kind of material?" Zhao Shuang asked with an increasingly puzzled and disbelieving expression.
"Haha! Don't worry, Brother Zhao. We're not after an ordinary Huangliang Dream Stone this time. We're after a Huangliang Stone Spirit that has already developed intelligence. This spirit can only be born from a Huangliang Stone, and the conditions are extremely harsh, not inferior to those of the famous celestial beings in the spiritual world. This Huangliang Stone Spirit was also discovered by an elder of our clan tens of thousands of years ago, but that elder didn't catch it, and since then, it has never been willing to leave and reveal itself."

"However, this Yellow Springs Underworld Fire is truly too dangerous. If it weren't for a fellow Taoist from the Holy Island who is proficient in divination and spared no expense of a thousand years of his life to divine for it, he would have predicted that these days would be the day when the Yellow Millet Stone Spirit would transcend its tribulation. It would also be our only chance to capture this stone spirit."

Monk Tianchan explained as detailed as possible,

"It is indeed quite interesting. However, it is just a stone spirit. How can it have some magical powers? It should not be difficult to catch it with the magical powers of the two fellow Taoists."

"Brother Zhao, please don't laugh at us. This Huangliang Stone Spirit is no ordinary stone spirit. In addition to the ordinary magical powers that ordinary spirit stones should have, it also has the ability to cast illusions. And all of these are released in an instant. As long as you face it, you will be directly trapped in the illusion, making it difficult to detect. Back then, that senior was trapped for a full six months before he woke up, but even so, he had lost a lot of vitality. The most important thing is that we must capture him alive this time. We absolutely cannot harm his life. Therefore, even though we have made many preparations, we still don't have complete confidence. But now that Brother Zhao is here, there is no need to worry." Master Black Rain said with a smile on his face.

He seemed extremely happy, but this was nonsense. With the help of the first fusion-stage cultivators of the human and demon races, how could he not succeed?

"I see, no wonder. But what is the function of this stone spirit? Do you two know?" Zhao Shuang nodded and asked again.

"It was ordered by Lord Mo Jianli himself. It seems to be a very important item used to deal with the demonic calamity. I am not sure about the details."

Master Heiyu thought for a moment and said.

"

"In that case, I guess I can only help you. I don't have anything else to do."

Zhao Shuang said with a smile.

He was naturally clear about this matter, but he still needed to understand the specific content and information again to avoid any problems.

After all, this matter is of great importance.

"Thank you for your help, Brother Zhao. Lord Mo Jianli is full of praise for Brother Zhao. He said that with Brother Zhao here, the human and demon races can rest assured. Now we just need to wait until Brother Zhao advances to the Mahayana stage. The human and demon races will be able to rest assured for a million years."

Master Hei Yu was overjoyed and praised,
"Senior Mo, you're joking. I just have more opportunities. As for advancing to the Mahayana stage, I only think about it occasionally."

Zhao Shuang laughed and said.

"Brother Zhao is too modest. With your ability, breaking through to the Mahayana stage is only a matter of time. At most, you can do so in a thousand years. Even after hundreds of thousands of years, it's not impossible for you to ascend to the Immortal Realm."

Master Tianchan laughed.

After all, they knew Zhao Shuang's reputation very well. There was no problem at all in the place where the twelve incarnations were. Everyone had great confidence in Zhao Shuang's breakthrough to the Mahayana stage.
As long as they break through the Mahayana stage, they will definitely be the peak powerhouses in the Mahayana stage, comparable to the real dragons and phoenixes. The human race and the demon race will also be able to become powerful races in the spiritual world in one fell swoop.
As for the Demonic Tribulation, perhaps there will be no more in the future. After all, the impact and blow it caused to the Demon Realm this time was too great. Moreover, Zhao Shuang has not yet broken through the Mahayana stage. If he did, how could the Demon Realm dare to continue to attack the human race and the demon race? This would be courting death. They have enough confidence in this.

It's not just the two of them, all the high-level cultivators of the human race have similar ideas. As long as Zhao Shuang doesn't die, the entire human race and the demon race will have no worries for a million years, and it is even very likely that they will ascend to the fairyland.

As for Zhao Shuang's hobby, it was nothing. The more good things one did, especially the bloodline of offspring, the better. However, Zhao Shuang was not very interested in this.
