Gou Dao Changsheng: Starting from the Reincarnation of a Demon Cultivator

Chapter 880 Unleashing All His Secrets, Connecting All Directions

"Stop making a scene."

With a light tap of the Withering and Flourishing Staff, a cleansing sound swept across, shaking the soul. The Golden-Eyed Ape King's limbs went weak, and the chains binding him like old roots tightened instantly.

"Buzz!"

The jade slip, imbued with the aura of decay, fell into his hand. Lu Xiaozi nodded slightly, his body surrounded by a decaying aura, and then he made a grasping motion with his five fingers.

"Boom!"

A crimson light flew out, carrying a faint fragrance, and split into four.

Three Blood-Veined Fruits fell into the Golden-Eyed Ape King's arms, while one Blood-Veined Fruit was thrown at Gu Jiushang.

"Brother Xiao is so generous!"

The Golden-Eyed Ape King glared defiantly at Gu Jiushang, a cold smile playing on his lips. 'You're still too green to fight me, Huang Qiu!'

Do you think I don't know about your clandestine dealings with the Fengling Immortal City?

If it weren't for this desolate dragon constantly suppressing the demon kings from Rotten Peach Mountain after making contact, and monopolizing the profits from the human-demon private trade, he wouldn't have acted this way.
The chains binding his body dissipated, and Gu Jiushang, clutching the Blood-Patterned Fruit, wore a displeased expression.

“Lord Xiao, I deserve half the credit for this inheritance, so why is there only one Blood Pattern Fruit?”

He was about to continue speaking.
"This matter ends here. Don't make me repeat myself!"

Lu Xiaozi's eyes closed slightly, and the phantom of an ancient tree appeared behind him, its magnificent, withered Daoist aura filling the air, making the Demon King unable to breathe.

"."

"."

Seeing that the two demons no longer resisted, he nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face.

His gaze then shifted to the Golden-Eyed Ape King, and he solemnly said, "The reward has been given, now speak."
Where did this [Book of Green and Withered Transformation] come from?

The Golden-Eyed Ape King closed the jade box in his hand, sealing the Blood-Patterned Fruit inside. After applying a spirit-sealing spell, he carefully put the jade box away.

Three mid-grade third-tier spiritual fruits can also stimulate one's bloodline; in the vast Sudu Mountain, there is only one such opportunity.

Under the impatient gaze of the deer demon, he spoke:

"The other day, when Huang Qiu and I returned from Dayun, we passed by the ruins of Qingmu Palace and discovered a surge of spiritual energy."
Then…

"The ruins of Aoki Palace?"

Is it a newly emerged relic, or a relic of one that has appeared in the past? "Lu Xiaozi tapped the withered and flourishing staff in his hand, and wisps of spiritual light rose from the head of the staff, evolving into five colors: blue, yellow, white, black, and yellow.

Amidst the interplay of spiritual light, mountains rise, ancient trees spread, and a mighty river flows through the map.

Where on this map is that ruin located?

On the topographical map of Sudu Mountain, one spiritual vein after another flowed. Gu Jiushang's pupils shrank slightly, and a sense of apprehension rose in his heart.

A very detailed topographic map.
Without personally measuring the area, it would be impossible to create a map showing the distribution of spiritual veins and influence within the Sudu Mountain range.

"Here, near Xiaoyashan." The Golden-Eyed Ape King pointed to a hill with his thick index finger.

"Little Yashan?" Lu Xiaozi frowned slightly, then relaxed and murmured softly.

"This is a remnant of the Qingmu Palace. Many independent cultivators have explored it and found out everything."

Since there will still be successors emerging?

"Um"

His eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he struck the withered and flourishing staff in his hand once more.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

It seemed as if the sound of bells and tripods resounded. The Golden-Eyed Ape King was in a daze, but then his expression turned fierce, and a murderous aura soared into the sky.

"Illusion?"
"Deer Demon, what do you want to do?"

"It's just to verify the truth of a few pieces of information." Lu Xiaozi's gaze was deep, and he did not stop striking with his withered and flourishing staff.

"Do you really think that my Bloodstained Fruit is so easy to obtain?"

"The monkey infused its divine power and memories into the staff!"

The Golden-Eyed Ape King's expression froze as he sensed the vigorous flow of withered energy, causing the fur on his body to stand on end.

“That’s all.
"I'll give you face."

Fear rose within him, knowing that the Deer Demon was now serious and this was the most troublesome and ruthless time.

'It seems this lineage is indeed related to Lu Xiaozi's cultivation of his innate technique.'

A quarter of an hour.

The Staff of Withering and Flourishing lost its luster, and the Golden-Eyed Ape King's face turned deathly pale. The forced extraction of his memories had severely damaged his soul.

If he hadn't known that Lu Xiaozi had been collecting wood-based cultivation techniques over the past century, he would never have compromised so easily.
Of course, the three rare Tier 3 mid-grade Blood Pattern Fruits are also of utmost importance.

Is that so?

Qin Yu, Li Heng, and the alchemy master Xu Qingshe came from Sudu Mountain.
Is this some hidden information from Xuan Yang Mountain?

The Deer Demon Child awoke from the Golden-Eyed Ape King's memories of the ruins and murmured softly.

"The pavilion, which has withstood the test of time and is now a remnant of the ancient Qingmu Palace, is in the style of the palace from over a thousand years ago."
It seems that the opportunity truly lies with me.

His graying temples reached his waist, held up by a tree root, and his thoughts raced.

"Buzz!"

Two tokens slid off his wide sleeves and floated in the air.

“Monkey, take my token and go find Bloodtooth. Tell him to bring Ghost Yin and Xuanmei to help us.”

The Golden-Eyed Ape King scratched his head, his face showing a simple and honest expression, and said with a wry smile, "Brother Xiao, how can I recognize this human cultivator?"

"Hmm?" Lu Xiaozi's eyes narrowed slightly, like an ancient ferocious beast. Before he even made a move, he had already shaken people's souls and filled them with fear.

"I'll say it one last time: this matter concerns the path to enlightenment. If things don't go smoothly, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Don't you recognize Blood Tooth?"
Who provided the blood and sustenance needed by that ghost peach tree on Rotten Peach Mountain?

The Golden-Eyed Ape King was startled and asked incredulously, "How did you know?"
The matter of the Ghost Peach Wood is a top secret in Rotten Peach Mountain; besides myself, only two minor demon kings know about it.”

"Can this be done?" Lu Xiaozi did not explain.

He cultivated on Mount Sudu for eight hundred years and formed his elixir over six hundred years ago. Who knows how many hidden secrets lie within the very plants and trees of that mountain?
What's so special about a ghost peach tree?
He also contributed to the construction of Dadu Ancient City.

To prevent the demon race from invading the heartland of the human race and increasing the threat.

'really.
What the master said is correct. In terms of the ability to conceal himself, this Deer Demon is not necessarily inferior to Huang Guangsheng, Tian Quezi, or Gu Jiushang.

If it weren't for the Qingku Transformation Divine Book being crucial to one's cultivation path, this old demon would have remained hidden for who knows how long.

“Desolate dragon”.

"Lord Lu, please give your orders." Gu Jiushang bowed slightly to show respect. "Your dealings with the Nine Curves lineage for spiritual herbs suggest a close relationship," Lu Xiaozi said meaningfully.
"My request is not high. I only ask that a cultivator from the Nine Turns lineage personally visit Sheng Bo'an to see if Qin Yu, Li Heng, and Xu Qingshe are in Dadu Ancient City."
Do not disappoint me.

"Yes!" Gu Jiushang nodded in agreement.

"Excellent. After this matter is completed, I will reward you handsomely once I have completed my inheritance." Lu Xiaozi looked satisfied. He could do whatever he wanted under normal circumstances.

But when it comes to the path of cultivation, he needs to unite all the demon forces of Sudu Mountain.

"You should leave now."

"Lord Xiao, Huang Qiu takes his leave." Gu Jiushang transformed into a streak of light and fled.

"Brother Xiao, I'll go visit Bloodtooth now." The Golden-Eyed Ape King took off his token, glanced at another decree, and left.

He knew that the old demon was now desperate and that if he disobeyed, it would be a life-or-death battle.

He died, and the Deer Demon was born.
"Coffin, come to me immediately!" Deer-like creature's lips moved, and the image of a precious tree appeared in its eyes.

A few moments.

"Tread! Tread! Tread!"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of hooves, a green wood spirit, about ten feet tall, covered in moss and topped with deer antlers, was surrounded by vitality.

"Greetings, Father!" The coffin bowed its head and knelt, its face showing respect.

"Go and contact Chen Yuhua, who cultivates the Dao of Netherfire." Lu Xiaozi sensed the surging vitality of the coffin wood, which clashed with his own withered Dao aura, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"With your help, that weapon of destruction wielded by the Netherfire should be restored to its full strength."

"Father, please forgive me!" The coffin buckled at the knees and knelt on the ground.

He never expected that such a secret connection would be discovered by Lu Xiaozi, who had been in seclusion for many years and was oblivious to the outside world.

"What crime have you committed?"
You cultivate the way of wood's life, while I cultivate the way of decay to absorb life. It's natural that you are wary.
Seeking outside help is only the right thing to do.

The coffin trembled slightly, and within its dantian, a seven-foot-long whip was poised to strike.

"Don't rush!"

"Buzz!" The deer-like creature appeared behind the coffin at some point, chuckling softly and dispersing the demonic power around it.

"If I were to take action, why would I have waited until today?"
Go and summon Chen Yuhua. After this is done, I will head to the Ten Thousand Mountains to explore further possibilities.

This legacy of Mount Sumeru will be inherited by you.

A quarter of an hour later, watching the trembling, departing emerald light, Lu Xiaozi shook his head slightly.

"One after another, they're acting in Sudu Mountain. Do they really think they can hide it from me?"

He gazed at Xuanyang Mountain and chuckled softly.

"Passing by ruins can lead to the emergence of a lineage, but I have been searching for over three hundred years without finding one."
Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

"My body, bones, and flesh have undergone eight hundred years of tempering, yet I am a rare, top-tier spiritual object of the wood element."

"Zhang Hengyi, who is skilled in the art of wooden rituals and inherited the lineage of the Ancestral Hall?"

Fang Yi, who inherited part of the Qingmu Palace's legacy?
The lingering souls of the Green Wood Palace in the Burial Abyss?
Or was it truly a coincidence?

"If the [Azure Withering God Transformation Book] is genuine, then we must eliminate the hidden dangers one by one and see who has the superior methods."

Lu Xiaozi patted his storage bag, and a Hehuan Token sound transmission bead rose from his waist, surrounded by seductive sounds.

"disease!

"Fellow Daoist Xi Ling of the Hehuan Sect, you've received so many benefits from me; it's time to repay the favor."

Tracing back up the mountain, tens of thousands of miles away, the ink-like atmosphere surrounds the unfurled oil-paper umbrella, obscuring the surrounding air.

On an altar surrounded by the stars, You Xishan stretched out his hand and the hexagrams Qian, Kun, Kan, and Li changed.

"Buzz!"

The silver light in his eyes faded, and his expression became solemn.

"Junior Brother Fang, the fate of the demon race is changing; there is a hidden aura of war gathering."
Your plan is probably...

"It's alright." Fang Yi's eyes were slightly closed, and he sat calmly on the lotus platform. Behind him, the Void Realm's Withering and Flourishing Banner appeared, and the power of the cave heaven flowed.

"January!"

He raised his long index finger and said, "I know time is of the essence. Patriarch Crimson Eyebrows is already gathering cultivators to go to Great Yu."

Senior Sister Wuhua also went there early.

Senior Brother You, Uncle-Master Hengyi, just wait with me for one month.

If this old demon is cunning and doesn't take the bait, then there's plenty of time, and it won't delay the important matters of the sect.

“As the sect leader said, let’s wait another month.” Zhang Hengyi, stroking the wooden ruler, immediately spoke up, making the agreement.

"Whether it succeeds or not, it concerns Junior Brother Xuan Yi."

"I will do my best to treat them, and I will never go back on my word," Fang Yi said, nodding slightly.

"Hey"

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, You Xishan sighed slightly, amazed that Lu Xiaozi was able to maintain his rationality despite the inheritance.

Beyond previous plans
"Then isn't the old demon afraid that Qin Yu and Li Heng will leave and be unable to complete the inheritance?"

"A great reputation is never undeserved. With such caution, it's no wonder he has been able to cultivate in the land where humans and demons clash for so long."

In the millennia-long conflict between humans and demons, more than one great immortal and demon king has perished.

Tracing the foot of Mount Du, one arrives at the ancient city of Dadu.

Within the cave, surrounded by a brownish-yellow aura, green bamboos stand tall, swaying in the wind.

"Buzz!"

A communication talisman passed through the magical barrier and landed in Jiuqu's hand, whereupon he probed with his divine sense.

"A letter from Huang Qiu?"

"Tsk, investigating the whereabouts of Qin Yu and Li Heng, what's going on?"

He extended a ray of spiritual light, summoning his disciple, who was also a Core Formation cultivator.

"Chang Qing, go to the Xuan Yang Mountain camp and pay a visit to Qin Yu and Li Heng."

"Disciple obeys!" Chang Qing, dressed in a brown Dharma robe, showed a respectful expression.

"Ok?"

"Buzz!" Jiuqu's expression changed, and he waved his brown sleeve.

The endless yellow sand obscured Chang Qing's consciousness as he watched a withered leaf fall into his hand.

"Deer Mandrill?

Why is this old scoundrel suddenly contacting me? It's not yet time for the agreed-upon delivery!
