Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans...

Chapter 437 Battle Against the Demonic Dragon in the Demon Abyss [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Sect.

"Junior brother, look at these are all rising stars in the sect. Among them, the most outstanding are disciples like Shen Meier, who have already become Foundation Establishment cultivators."

And then there's Ling Qingxuan, who in just ten short years has cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining and is now preparing to establish his foundation.

From the high platform outside the main hall, one can look down upon the entire sect, especially the disciples flying on their swords below.

The Ice Butterfly Fairy's complexion has improved significantly over the years, and she now chuckles as she points to several talented disciples below.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an naturally saw the competition stage of the sect competition below, which was supervised by a special Core Formation cultivator.

"Indeed, these disciples are the future of the sect."

Watching the disciples compete, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but sigh, "This is the true foundation of a Nascent Soul sect."

A disciple with good talent, who can reach the Foundation Establishment stage in his twenties or thirties, wouldn't be considered exceptionally talented, especially if we consider the three major sects of the Yue Kingdom back then.

Every cultivator who can establish their foundation before the age of thirty is, without exception, a potential core-forming seed within their sect.

Moreover, he could see very clearly that these disciples were practicing techniques that allowed them to accumulate knowledge and skills before unleashing their full potential, giving them an advantage in building a solid foundation.

Otherwise, the foundation-building time could be shortened.

Shen Meier and her fellow cultivators with earth-elemental roots had solid foundations, and after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, they all switched to cultivating powerful techniques.

And then there's Ling Qingxuan, the cultivator with the Heavenly Spiritual Root. Ten years have passed, and the nervous, hesitant boy he once was is now a composed cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"Junior brother is truly devoted to the Dao."

The Ice Butterfly Fairy chuckled as she looked down at the disciple, clearly asking him if he was interested in taking on a disciple.

However, Lin Chang'an chuckled and changed the subject:
"I observe that Shen Meier and Ling Qingxuan both possess relatively strong spiritual senses. Although the Yin Soul Sect's techniques belong to the demonic path, they are not the kind of techniques with significant drawbacks."

Moreover, although the power of divine sense techniques is not great in the early stages, they still provide some assistance in the process of Core Formation.

Lin Chang'an's Yin Soul Sect techniques were something you could teach him however you wanted; I had no objections whatsoever. This made Fairy Ice Butterfly feel both warm and somewhat helpless.

What's delightful is that this Junior Brother Lin truly doesn't mind the cultivation technique being passed down within the sect.

Unfortunately, this junior brother Lin was truly focused on cultivation and had no intention of taking on any disciples.

However, these are all trivial matters.

The two then stood on the high platform for a while. After sensing the presence of Elder Cheng, the Grand Elder, inside the main hall, they returned to the main hall.

To them, the battle between Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators below is like watching children play; they might watch for a while if they're in a good mood.

In the main hall.

"Uncle."

"Senior Brother Cheng."

The two addressed each other by their own names, but this time, the appearance of Elder Cheng was even more somber, with a hint of weariness showing between his brows.

His once bright and piercing eyes have now become somewhat cloudy, and his pale hair and beard have become dry and lost their former luster.

It's clear that Elder Cheng is truly nearing the end of his life.

"Junior Brother Lin, are you preparing to go on a journey?"

Lin Chang'an didn't hide much about this matter, after all, he was now a Nascent Soul Grand Elder of the sect.

"Yes, I made a promise with this Fellow Daoist Mingyue before I even formed my Nascent Soul. Now, I've been in my Nascent Soul stage for over twenty years, and my cultivation level is stable..."

Lin Chang'an also gave a brief account of the cause and effect.

This means that the two discovered a secret realm, agreed to explore it after they reached the Nascent Soul stage, and also made a vow to overcome their inner demons.

Of course, he did not mention some specific details about the Phoenix Bird.

"A secret realm?"

Elder Cheng was not surprised that a Nascent Soul cultivator was exploring a secret realm; after all, which Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't seek out opportunities?

"In that case, we should still be cautious."

Lin Chang'an nodded slightly, indicating that he had just formed his Nascent Soul and would naturally withdraw if he encountered any difficulties.

He had absolutely no intention of risking his life.

"From now on, the sect will be handed over to the two of you."

Elder Cheng also gave a detailed reminder about the Demon Abyss Forest, noting that every year, cultivators from the Protectorate Alliance would venture there to explore.

Aside from some secret realms and cave ruins, the various demonized monsters have always been the biggest source of income for the cultivators of the Protectorate Alliance.

Coincidentally, part of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect's territory borders the Demon Abyss Forest, and the markets they establish generate significant revenue for the sect each year.

Subsequently, Elder Cheng announced his seclusion, indicating that he was prepared to remain silent even if he passed away peacefully.

After all, the difference between having three Nascent Soul cultivators and having two Nascent Soul cultivators is a completely different level of deterrence.

"Junior brother, this is a Xuan Crystal that I condensed. You can take it for self-defense. Also, these two pills were made by Elder Cheng and he asked me to give them to you."

Stepping out of the cave, the Ice Butterfly Fairy casually spat out an ice crystal, which she had condensed with her own magic power, each one requiring twenty or thirty years to form.

This requires Nascent Soul cultivators to constantly refine their cultivation. It was only when Fairy Ice Butterfly was poisoned by Nascent Soul Poison and her cultivation could no longer advance that she put in the effort to refine it.

To date, she has condensed a total of three.

As for the last two pills, the Ice Butterfly Fairy jokingly revealed that Elder Cheng wanted her to win over people's hearts.

Lin Chang'an did not refuse the kindness of his senior sister Bingdie.

"Thank you, senior sister."

This single ice crystal, when unleashed, can transform into an ice crystal shield, whose defensive power can withstand an attack from a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

The other two are healing pills.

Although there were vested interests within the sect and external pressures, it must be said that both Elder Cheng and Senior Sister Bingdie treated him quite well.

He naturally reciprocated by not accepting disciples all these years, partly because he genuinely didn't want to, and partly because he didn't want to cause divisions within the sect.

After all, there are quite a few guest elders and Golden Core cultivators in the sect who joined halfway through their careers. Over the years, these elders have not openly or secretly come to him seeking reliance.

Unfortunately, he had no interest in these power struggles; in the cultivation world, strength ultimately prevails.

Only those Nascent Soul cultivators whose cultivation has stagnated and whose future is hopeless will pursue other things.

……

A few days later, Lin Chang'an gave some instructions to his sword attendants and then quietly left the sect.

Outside a market town within the territory of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, the closest to the Demon Abyss Forest.

Two stealthy Core Formation cultivators followed one person all the way until they landed in a valley.

Then a surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted within the valley.

"Senior...Senior, please spare my life!"

In the valley, a figure wearing a straw hat and a mask coldly gripped one person's neck with one hand, while another was trapped on the ground in a golden net.

"You two little brats, I dare to rob you!"

As the hoarse voice echoed, the two Core Formation cultivators turned deathly pale, filled with deep regret. They never imagined that their robbery would turn into a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"I am in a good mood today. Hand over all the treasures you possess, and I will spare your lives."

"senior……"

Trembling, the two handed over all their treasures, including their respective natal magic weapons.

However, upon seeing this scene, the mysterious figure suddenly unleashed a burst of intense heat from his palm and coldly shouted:

"Where is the spirit pet?"

"Senior, please forgive me... This spirit pet has been nourished by my blood essence since it was a cub, and it is already connected to me by blood..."

However, before they could finish speaking, a sudden attack of divine sense struck them, and the two Core Formation cultivators fell into a deep sleep.

The next moment, the cloak was removed, revealing a youthful face. He then went forward to pick and choose, not forgetting to capture the so-called blood-related spirit pet of one of the people.

"Hmph, consider yourself lucky. Consider this a lesson for you."

The figure was none other than Jin Feng in human form. At this moment, she looked at the spoils in her hand, her big eyes turning into crescent moons as she counted them with great satisfaction.

"Not bad, one full meal means you'll be full every time. You might run into these two humans again next time."

After transferring all the supplies from the two of them into her own storage bag, Jin Feng simply tossed them aside, leaving the two with several empty storage bags.

However, just before leaving, she suddenly remembered something. Jin Feng's eyes darted around, and she patted the spirit beast pouch at her waist.

In an instant, a Yin Sha Corpse Puppet appeared.

"Alright, stop yelling. Leave some corpse energy at the scene so they can go find Corpse Valley later."

Meanwhile, inside the Fangshi Restaurant, Lin Chang'an sat alone in a private room, watching the bustling market, when he suddenly sensed something and his face turned green.

At this moment, Jin Feng disguised himself as a late-stage Core Formation cultivator and pawned the spirit pet he had robbed in a shop in the market.

They said that someone would definitely redeem him afterward.

"I've made another spirit stone. Robbery is still the fastest way."

Walking through the market streets, Jin Feng's eyes shone with excitement as she counted the spirit stones in her hand. Ever since breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, she had gone bankrupt.

Now I've finally found a chance to earn some spirit stones.

"Okay! Okay!"

Just then, a gritted-teeth voice echoed in her ears, startling Jin Feng so much that her hands trembled, and she hurriedly put away her storage bag.

No one in the market could detect the Nascent Soul cultivator's telepathic communication.

However, Jin Feng swallowed nervously, then transformed into a streak of light and appeared directly in the restaurant's private room.

“Master, I specially bought you some spirit wine and spirit tea at the market. I’ll brew them for you right away.”

Inside the private room, there was a little girl, about eight or nine years old, with rosy lips and white teeth, wearing a fawning smile, constantly running around, though her cunning big eyes seemed to be darting away.

"Oh, that's great. We agreed to go shopping at the market, and this is how you shop?"

Looking at Jin Feng, who was making him tea and massaging his shoulders, Lin Chang'an said irritably.

He truly hadn't expected that his oversight would lead to such audacity from this girl.

However, after being scolded, Jin Feng looked aggrieved and reluctantly took out a storage bag from her waist.

"Master, this is your share."

And his?

At this moment, Lin Chang'an almost laughed out of anger; this was definitely not something he had taught him.

Jin Feng looked at her master guiltily, then seemed to have thought of something and whispered ingratiatingly:
"Master, rest assured, all suspicious clues will point to Corpse Valley, including my small stature..."

The Demon Ancestor of Corpse Valley was a short old demon, just like the transformed form of the Phoenix Bird. Wearing a bamboo hat, he looked quite convincing in disguise.

However, what angered Lin Chang'an was that this was not a spur-of-the-moment decision at all, but rather that this guy had these thoughts even before he had taken human form.

"You are a demon beast, of true spirit blood! Do you understand?"

Lin Chang'an reprimanded him with a stern face, then grabbed the storage bag and probed it with his divine sense. He found that half of the valuables were still there, which lessened his anger considerably.

"You have no idea how terrifying the cultivation world is. You need to be careful. Do you know that a thousand years ago there were also cultivators like you who robbed low-level cultivators?"

Instead, you encounter a Nascent Soul cultivator disguised as a Qi Refining cultivator. Do you want your demon core dug out? Or do you want your wings cut off and used to make a flying magic weapon?

Lin Chang'an spoke irritably, and Jin Feng seemed to have taken it to heart, shaking her little head repeatedly like a pestle being pounded.

"Remember this for the future: at the very least, you must investigate thoroughly. You are a fourth-order great demon, and your sense of smell is much more sensitive than that of human cultivators. Do not leave any traces."

After being reprimanded, Lin Chang'an's anger subsided considerably.

He wasn't angry at Jin Feng's behavior; after all, they were just two cultivators who had just been robbing others, and they naturally had to be prepared to be killed in return.

Although Jin Feng has learned a lot over the years, there are still some obvious oversights.

Meanwhile, in the valley outside the market town...

The Core Formation cultivator slowly awoke, his mind still somewhat dizzy, but the two of them had already staggered to their feet in fear and assumed a defensive posture.

Then, to her horror, she discovered that she had nothing left on her.

"Corpse energy!"

In their shock and anger, the two immediately thought of the Corpse Valley sect, and recalling the short stature of the man they had just met, a look of fear appeared on their faces.

"There's no mistake, the Demon Corpse Ancestor of Corpse Valley is indeed short in stature."

"Come on!"

Neither of them dared to show the slightest anger. They were both thankful to have survived, especially since they were on the territory of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

Presumably, this old demon also considered this issue and did not want to start a war with the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, which is why he did not make a move.

……

Meanwhile, inside the private room of the market.

Jin Feng's eyes lit up as she listened to her master's teachings. Indeed, her master was very knowledgeable; she had truly learned something.

"Remember, don't mess around with cultivators of unknown origin. What if there's trouble behind it? Also, they're just Core Formation cultivators. How many spirit stones do you think they have to risk their lives here?"

It wasn't that Lin Chang'an looked down on these Core Formation cultivators, but rather that after becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator, he clearly understood the gap between the two.

"Even Nascent Soul seedlings from major sects may have one or two life-saving treasures at most. Would they carry truly valuable Nascent Soul spiritual artifacts with them?"

Lin Chang'an saw through the bird's nature and patiently imparted his insights.

At the same time, he also knew that with the Phoenix's current cultivation level, it was not only greedy for money, but also planning to acquire cultivation resources for itself.

Although he has also reached the Nascent Soul stage, he needs even more resources, and the sect's offerings are still insufficient. Otherwise, he wouldn't have instructed the Xuan Yin Pavilion to take the lead in establishing a chamber of commerce.

Therefore, he usually turned a blind eye to the Phoenix Bird's embezzlement of spirit stones and spiritual items, and did not blame it too much.

After all, in the world of cultivation, both cultivators and demon beasts have to compete for cultivation resources.

However, targeting human cultivators like this will inevitably cause problems sooner or later.

After all, these markets belong to Nascent Soul cultivators. Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, it will definitely attract the attention of Nascent Soul cultivators.

"In the future, we will keep an eye on the Demon Abyss Forest. This forbidden area is extremely vast and contains countless demonized beasts. More importantly, these demonized beasts only possess the intelligence of the lowest-level wild animals."

"Isn't it perfect for you to use your fire-type spirit beast to hunt mutated demonic beasts? I can even help you purify those demon cores then." In the end, Lin Chang'an also considered that the Phoenix Cry Bird had already transformed into human form, and its powerful flight ability and escape techniques would be impossible for even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to keep it in check.

It would be better to let them roam freely, so they can earn cultivation resources themselves and also earn some for him.

Otherwise, if he only provides the cultivation resources himself, his cultivation speed will decrease.

And what are the spirit pets you raise for? They're not for eating your food.

Under Lin Chang'an's patient guidance, Jin Feng's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, saying:

"I understand, Master. From now on, I will hunt in the Demon Abyss Forest, starting with the part bordering Corpse Valley..."

"Hmm, not bad. As the saying goes, leave a way out for others. In the future, these demonized beasts should try to pick on the old, weak, sick and disabled. They should leave the cubs and the like."

These mutated monsters are living beings too; don't go too far.

"Uh-huh."

Lin Chang'an could imagine that in the future, there would be a golden phoenix in the Demon Abyss Forest that could restrain them, and the number of high-level demonized beasts would probably decrease rapidly in the future.

……

Three days later, this fellow Daoist Mingyue arrived as promised.

Deep within the Demon Abyss Forest, the spiritual energy is abundant, and the spiritual veins are even thriving, yet no cultivators have ever set their sights on this place.

The reason is that the rich spiritual energy here contains various filthy energies such as demonic energy, evil energy, and turbid energy, which makes it possible for only demonized monsters to survive here.

If human cultivators practice here for a long time, they are very likely to suffer from qi deviation and even risk being corrupted by demons.

At that time, they will lose their intelligence and become a humanoid monster driven by instinctual desires.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, this place is already deep within the Demon Abyss Forest."

Lin Chang'an and True Monarch Mingyue were both Nascent Soul cultivators. They concealed their auras along the way, so they were naturally not detected by ordinary demons.

Otherwise, even Nascent Soul cultivators would easily encounter risks upon entering this place, making it an absolutely dangerous place.

However, Lin Chang'an also saw many third-tier demonic creatures along the way. These creatures reproduced and thrived by relying on their wild animal instincts.

Heaven is fair; demonic beasts, while losing their high-level intelligence, actually surpass other demonic beasts of the same level in their reproductive ability.

"Here you will find some fourth-order demonic beasts. Although these beasts are unable to take human form due to the demonic influence, their physical strength far surpasses that of other beasts of the same order, and their power should not be underestimated."

More importantly, hunting any fourth-tier demonic beast would inevitably alert the others, so there's no need to easily disturb these creatures.

Mingyue Zhenjun calmly told him about the situation in the Demon Abyss Forest, especially after he was able to tell him about the territories and locations of some fourth-order demonized beasts.

Lin Chang'an was secretly alarmed; this person really knew a lot about the Demon Abyss Forest.

"However, most of the time these fourth-order demonic beasts are asleep, relying on their instincts to devour the demonic energy leaking from the Demon Abyss."

This is one of the reasons why the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Protectorate Alliance did not completely unite to destroy this place.

Lin Chang'an was aware of this. Firstly, the monsters here were powerful, and if they were to join forces to exterminate them, there would inevitably be casualties.

Another reason is that if these demonic beasts didn't continuously absorb the foul energy here, this demonic and foul spiritual energy would continue to spread, thus affecting the cultivation areas of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and Corpse Valley.

Just like the miasma that spread across the seven kingdoms back then, it affected the cultivation environment of cultivators.

Taking all factors into account, we have achieved the relatively balanced situation we have today.

"However, over the past thousand years, some Nascent Soul cultivators have also perished here, and under certain specific conditions, relatively rare demonic corpses have been formed here."

This is one of the reasons why many cultivators come here in search of treasures.

"Demon Corpse!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but show a solemn expression. He still vividly remembered the demonic corpse in Corpse Valley.

Although he and the Ice Butterfly Fairy joined forces to destroy it, they even dug out its corpse core.

However, its terrifying and powerful strength far surpasses that of ordinary corpse puppets.

"However, fellow Daoist, let's talk about the specific situation within this secret realm, and how we can join forces to defend against the enemy."

Although the Demon Abyss Forest is dangerous, it is not too dangerous for Nascent Soul cultivators as long as they do not provoke those fourth-order demonized beasts.

Therefore, Lin Chang'an was not attracted by these secrets, but instead asked about the preparations for this joint operation with a solemn expression.

"Don't worry, this secret realm has natural barriers. No matter how much noise you make inside, it won't alert the outside world. However, this place is deep within the Demon Abyss..."

With a calm expression, True Monarch Mingyue glanced at Lin Chang'an. In reality, she didn't care much about having another Nascent Soul cultivator.

If it weren't for the fact that the opponent's Ice Lotus Frost Flame could play a role, she really wouldn't have given it a second thought.

"Sister, your spiritual fruit is so delicious."

However, at this moment, Jin Feng squinted and munched on the spiritual fruit that the cheap Nascent Soul female cultivator had given her, and she was very satisfied.

"Don't worry, after we complete this mission, I will give you more of these fire-attribute spirit fruits."

However, when facing the little golden phoenix behind him, this True Lord Mingyue smiled, a completely different attitude from his attitude towards Lin Chang'an.

Although she knew Jin Feng's ulterior motives, she turned a blind eye to them, or rather, she didn't care at all.

The Bihai Palace's business empire truly doesn't value these spiritual fruits.

Lin Chang'an was speechless at the sight; the difference in treatment between humans and demonic beasts was truly enormous.

The two then continued on their way and arrived at the center of the Demon Abyss Forest.

If the outer area is affected by the filthy spiritual energy, and the Demon Abyss Forest is shrouded in gloom, then this place is pitch black.

It's still that kind of dark substance that can devour everything.

At the center lies a circular, dark abyss, its terrain gradually descending. The demonic energy here is extremely dense, seemingly intent on devouring any creature that comes here.

The place was deathly silent, and what was even more chilling were the spatial cracks that kept faintly appearing around the abyss.

Anyone who falls in could be trapped and die, even a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"right here."

Led by True Monarch Mingyue, they arrived directly at a shimmering spatial rift. Upon seeing this, Lin Chang'an's expression turned solemn.

“Fellow Daoist Mingyue’s ancestors were truly extraordinary, to have even discovered this place.”

Some spatial rifts lead randomly to various parts of the cultivation world, while others are just endless darkness.

Similarly, when some spatial rifts are generated, they will swallow up a piece of the surrounding space, forming a small space.

This is what is called a naturally formed secret realm; such spaces are generally quite stable.

If it weren't for the oath made to his inner demons and the immense temptation the other party offered, Lin Chang'an wouldn't have wanted to take the risk in this place.

Upon arriving at the deep, dark spatial rift, Jin Feng also came to stand before Lin Chang'an.

With a calm expression, True Monarch Mingyue raised his hand and summoned a lotus-shaped treasure. Under the protection of a transparent light screen, the three of them began to enter the spatial rift.

It was pitch black. The three of them were moving at a fast pace, but they still flew through the space tunnel for three whole days before they saw a dim light.

……

"right here!"

After seeing the light of day again, the three of them appeared in a desolate mountain rocky area, with countless spatial rifts appearing and disappearing behind them.

There is more than one spatial rift leading to this place, but the others are clearly less stable.

The moment the three appeared, Lin Chang'an sensed that a powerful creature was slumbering within the vast mountains in the distance.

"This aura! Peak mid-stage fourth tier! Just one step away from becoming a late-stage fourth tier demonic monster!"

Upon sensing this, Lin Chang'an's expression immediately turned solemn, while he subtly glanced at Mingyue Zhenjun beside him.

"No wonder you've set your sights on the Golden Phoenix. The spatial tunnel here can only accommodate cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage. If someone's cultivation level is too high, it can easily cause the spatial tunnel to become disordered."

The mutated demonic beast is stronger than other demonic beasts of the same level. In other words, this mid-stage fourth-level demonic dragon is definitely no less powerful than a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

It is even stronger, infinitely close to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Having her secret exposed, True Monarch Mingyue glanced at Lin Chang'an with an indifferent expression. Otherwise, why would she have set her sights on this Golden Flame Divine Phoenix?

The Bihai Palace's business involves finding a fire-type spirit beast and carefully nurturing it; its transformation into human form isn't too difficult.

But how could any fire-type spirit beast compare to this Golden Flame Divine Phoenix?

The difference between the two is purely qualitative.

"Master, I feel the demonic energy here is very strong, it's a bit uncomfortable, but also a bit... familiar."

Upon entering and sensing the danger, the fiery feathers on both sides of Jin Feng's ears bristled, and she immediately transformed into her true form, staring intently at the distant mountains.

When it inhaled and exhaled demonic energy from the air through its mouth and nose, it made a hissing sound, clearly indicating that the terrifying fire energy within its body directly annihilated the impurities in the spiritual energy.

This familiar feeling made it cautiously communicate with its own family only.

Lin Chang'an nodded secretly after hearing this, it seemed that Jin Feng really did come from the Earth's core fiery hell.

"Here are two Cleansing Pills, which can keep you unaffected by demonic energy for a short time."

After entering the secret realm, True Monarch Mingyue stopped hiding anything and directly took out two spirit pills and gave them to Lin Chang'an.

Lin Chang'an nodded slightly after receiving it, but inwardly he was astonished by the sheer scale of the gesture.

This elixir can be resold for a lot of spirit stones, and as for the demonic energy, his Xuan Tian magic power is naturally unaffected.

"And this Azure Pill, although it is made from Azure Flower, contains various nourishing spiritual ingredients. At most, it will severely damage one's vital energy, but it will not destroy one's essence."

When the other party took out the Azure Pill, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

He still remembered the fate of the transformed Yin Spirit Beast King in the Abyss Sea Ghost Realm, which was damaged because it consumed a Tianqing Fruit.

While the azure flower doesn't have as many side effects, it's still a spiritual object that drains the life essence of demonic beasts.

"Azure flower!"

Upon hearing this, the Wind-Singing Bird burst into flames, its eyes fixed on the human female cultivator who had fed it spiritual fruits along the way.

The cunning human cultivators were indeed trying to take advantage of it.

"Indeed, there are a large number of nourishing spiritual substances."

After receiving the pill, Lin Chang'an took a light sniff and nodded. Just as the other party said, with the Phoenix Cry Bird's fourth-order strength, it would not damage its essence.

Under Lin Chang'an's reassurance, the phoenix's arrogance subsided, but it still kept a wary eye on its opponent.

"Master is right, human cultivators are too cunning."

The two arrived at the summit of a mountain. Looking at the vast mountain range in the distance, Lin Chang'an was amazed by the incredible craftsmanship of the cultivation world.

It is truly astonishing that such a stable space could exist within a spatial rift.

"This demonic dragon is also fire-attribute, but it happens to be countered by your spirit pet. Let's prepare to make our move."

There was nothing to prepare in this desolate mountain range.

"Although it is a stable space, the formation still relies on the power of heaven and earth. This space is too small."

As a formation master, Lin Chang'an naturally saw the problem with this space at a glance.

Even a fourth-order formation would be significantly less powerful here, so there's no need to bother with it.

It was here that they, the two of them and the beast, were left with no choice but to rely on each other.

"Understood. Next, you will launch a strong attack, and I will provide ranged support. The Phoenix Bird will be responsible for suppressing the demonic flames of this demonic dragon. Together, we will wear down this demonic dragon."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an stood in front of a cliff, looking at the massive mountain range in the distance with a sense of high spirits.

They felt no remorse for letting the petite, girlish-looking Mingyue Zhenjun lead the charge.

Who told the other party to be a body cultivator? If body cultivators don't charge into battle, how can we expect them to do it?

True Monarch Mingyue glanced at him indifferently, and without the slightest hesitation, decisively said in a cold voice, "Fine!"

The next moment, a dark golden halberd appeared in his palm with a wave of his hand. Its terrifying power caused Lin Chang'an's pupils to shrink.

This halberd is probably no ordinary weapon.

However, as the aura of True Monarch Mingyue erupted, a colossal creature sleeping in the distant mountains suddenly opened its vertical pupils, filled with a tyrannical aura.

"Roar!"

Immediately afterwards, a dragon's roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and with a thunderous boom, a hundred-zhang-long demonic dragon roared and emerged from the mountain range.

From a distance, this scene appears as a colossal creature roaming among the mountains.

As True Monarch Mingyue charged forward, wielding a halberd, a burst of golden light erupted, and suddenly a golden body of a body cultivator appeared.

Like a golden Valkyrie, she slammed her halberd down with a cold gaze.

Suddenly, with a deafening roar, the mountain range erupted with a terrifying rumble and an angry dragon's cry.

"Roar!"

A ball of pitch-black flame shot into the sky, and the demonic dragon roared furiously. Wherever this terrifying demonic flame went, the rocks were melted into lava.

Just then, a loud phoenix cry came from the sky, and a terrifying golden flame attacked.

The two flames, one golden and one black, collided, emitting a series of hissing sounds. The black demonic flames, like the ice and snow of early winter, began to melt instantly.

Despite the elemental advantage, the Phoenix Cry Bird, having just broken through, was able to suppress the peak of the mid-stage fourth-tier demonic flame with its golden divine flame.

The phoenix soared through the air at high speed, spewing flames continuously, while below, the golden Dharma body condensed by True Monarch Mingyue wielded a halberd and engaged in fierce combat.

Meanwhile, Lin Chang'an, who was far away, was suspended in the air. With a solemn expression, he made a sword finger with one hand, and a golden light suddenly appeared.

The twelve sun-piercing divine swords behind him burst forth with dazzling light. With a tremor of the sword light, they shone with golden light and transformed into giant swords nearly a hundred feet long.

"go with!"

With a flick of Lin Chang'an's sword finger and a cold shout, twelve flying swords shot out in an instant, creating an astonishing display of power.

The terrifying sword light startled even the True Lord Mingyue, who was engaged in battle; he realized he had underestimated this person.

His skill in swordsmanship is truly unmatched by ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

This was also Lin Chang'an's first all-out battle after reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

At this moment, there was a hint of excitement hidden beneath the solemn expression on his face.

　It's almost the end of the month, please vote for me next month!
