Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

When Su Ji realized that something was wrong with the evil immortal Zi Xiu, he immediately overturned his view on the situation of the Golden Cave Sect's blessed land.

Yan Tianchou quickly reminded him: "Whether it was Jin Sha Moyun who sensed the Undying Demon King through the connection of the blessed land before his death, or the Undying Demon King who took the initiative to send a message, it is a major event that deserves to be taken seriously."

"To prevent the evil immortal from guessing our connection with the immortal lord, we should take the initiative to inquire about the Immortal Demon King. This will not only dispel the evil immortal's suspicions but also allow us to obtain more information."

"Furthermore, we must find an opportunity to go to the Immortal Lord's place to check and inquire about the state of the Undying Demon King. We cannot allow the Immortal Lord's dojo to be riddled with traps, which could affect the entire grand plan to exterminate the demons."

Su Ji's hesitation, seemingly a questioning glance at Jin Sha Mo Yun, was followed by Yan Tian Chou's suggestion:
"Since Immortal Master Zixiu killed Jin Sha Moyun so easily, he is probably invincible in this blessed land... I wonder what kind of existence the Undying Demon King that Jin Sha Moyun mentioned before his death is?"

On the surface, the two sides are still allies working together to eliminate evil. As a member of an outside force, Su Ji still has to say some polite words.

In reality, if Zixiu the Evil Immortal were to wield the White Tiger Divine Blade, he might actually be able to unleash the attack methods of an invincible immortal weapon. However, this place is not Zixiu the Evil Immortal's training ground, and it is actually only at the level of a top-tier immortal weapon.

However, everyone loves to hear nice words, so Zixiu Xiexian relaxed a lot and then laughed: "Even if we are invincible in this blessed land at this time, we will still be defeated back to our original form when we go outside. Moreover, every demon in a Dao-harmonizing blessed land has some kind of invincible characteristic. It is only with your help that we dare to start the plan to exterminate the demons!"

The lesser immortals are constrained by the blessed lands and grottoes, and are also constrained by the Daoist temples where the Dao fruits of the small worlds are located. When they are not in the Daoist temples, their overall combat power will even decrease by two or three levels. This is also the reason why the evil immortal Zixiu has tolerated the existence of evil spirits for so many years.

Immediately, Zixiu Xiexian looked up at the "sea" to the east and revealed a solemn expression: "The Undying Demon King was the leader of the demons in ancient times. He was extremely powerful and possessed the characteristic of immortality. Even the White Tiger Immortal General could not kill him back then."

"As the entire blessed land was about to fall, we had no choice but to endure humiliation and feign surrender to the demons in order to preserve our race. Every little immortal suffered endless shame..."

"Until one day, the Undying Demon King finally discovered the whereabouts of another human race. We could no longer sit idly by and wait for our doom. We chose to raise our banner and fight against the evil forces."

"In that battle, we used the six White Tiger Divine Pillars to suppress the Undying Demon King at the source of the cave..."

Clearly, the reason Zixiu the Evil Immortal didn't mention the Immortal Lord was to portray the Immortal Lord as an undying demon king who bewitched people's minds. He never expected that Su Ji and the others had already come into contact with the fish-men, jade-men, and even the True Daoist in the underwater space.

So, as if he were really into his role, Zixiu the Evil Immortal continued to fabricate, "Back then, in order to suppress the Undying Demon King, two Grand Elders of the Golden Cave Sect even sacrificed themselves. Now that the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud has mentioned the Undying Demon King, it means that the Undying Demon King may have already broken free from the suppression..."

As he spoke, Zixiu Xiexian said with a hint of helplessness, "After the two Supreme Elders sacrificed themselves to suppress the Undying Demon King, their wills gradually fell into a state of confusion, and later they were even infected with evil thoughts, to the point that we were unable to send people to guard the surroundings."

In order to prevent the Undying Demon King from continuing to exist by relying on the wishes of the people, we have even erased this history, making people forget the Undying Demon King and the Supreme Elders, so as to prevent them from awakening and breaking the seal.

"Judging from Jin Sha Mo Yun's last words, time probably did not kill the Undying Demon King. The Undying Demon King may even have broken free from the suppression and continued to bewitch people."

"In that case, before we exterminate the demons, we might have to eliminate the Undying Demon King first, in order to prevent him from affecting our plan to exterminate the demons during the great battle!"

The Immortal Lord originally intended to use the extermination of demons to weaken the power of lesser immortals such as Zixiu Xiexian. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Jinsha Demon Cloud shouted out the name of the Undying Demon King, Zixiu Xiexian also had a plan to kill the Undying Demon King and eliminate the Immortal Lord at the same time.

For a moment, Su Ji, who outwardly belonged to the evil immortal camp but secretly belonged to the immortal master camp, felt somewhat exhausted.

However, in order to continue to gain the trust of the evil immortal, Su Ji could only show his shock as Yan Tianchou suggested: "So the Undying Demon King is so powerful that even the White Tiger Immortal General can't do anything to it."

"After the two Grand Elders of the Golden Cave Sect suppressed the Undying Demon King, they were also affected by him..."

Immediately, Su Ji looked troubled and said, "Given the limited power we brought into this blessed land, it will probably take a long time to kill such a stubborn demon!"

Su Ji wasn't lying. Since Zi Xiu the Evil Immortal described the Undying Demon King as so powerful, dealing with it wouldn't be so simple.

At this moment, Zixiu Xiexian suddenly looked at Su Ji and revealed a smile: "Young friend, I just saw you release several divine lights. If I am not mistaken, they should be the difficult-to-collect Taiyin Heavenly Light. If you can mobilize a hundred or so of the Heavenly Light, it will surely help us to kill the Undying Demon King!"

It is common knowledge that the light of the moon can freeze consciousness and thought, so it is not surprising that the evil immortal Zixiu knew about it.

However, some immortals have a strong mind and consciousness, which cannot be frozen by a few rays of Yin light.

Fortunately, most demons pursue power and do not have a strong consciousness. The Golden Fiend Demon Cloud, after entering the blessed land of the Dao Integration Cave, was left with only instinct. The last wisp of consciousness that it awakened was nothing.

As for the Undying Demon King, its consciousness might be stronger, but it will also weaken due to years of suppression.

Even so, the evil immortal Zixiu still made a request for a hundred rays of Taiyin Heavenly Light.

However, Su Ji couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "So that the young immortal may know that it is not difficult to collect the Taiyin Heavenly Light, but to store it, apart from the powerful spiritual power of an immortal, there is only this kind of moon crystal treasure refined by special methods."

"It took me quite some time to collect all the moon crystals of standard size or larger in the surrounding area before I was able to refine less than ten moon crystal treasures."

"To refine a hundred Moon Crystal Treasures, even collecting all the Moon Crystals in Lunzhou and Yuzhou wouldn't be enough, not to mention that refining Moon Crystal Treasures requires a great deal of time and effort..."

Su Ji didn't want to see the evil immortal Zixiu clash with the immortal master before eradicating the evil demons, and besides, what he said was all true.

Like blazing crystal, moon crystal is a top-grade spiritual material once it is formed. To refine a moon crystal treasure, one needs to be of a standard size or larger.

As a result, even though Su Ji obtained a batch of Blazing Crystals from the Dragon Mountain Sect under the pretext of rescuing Long Teng and took the route through the Mountain God Temple in the White Rock Mountains, the total number of Blazing Crystals in the end was only fifteen.

Su Ji used up all the Yin Heavenly Light in the Moon Crystal in his hand at once. In order to prove his point, he specially went to the Earth God Zhang Gong to borrow a piece of Moon Crystal and gave it to Zi Xiu the Evil Immortal to examine.

After a while, the evil immortal revealed a helpless expression: "Only such an exquisite treasure can contain such divine light, the Taiyin Heavenly Light. It seems we can only hope that the Undying Demon King won't interfere with our grand plan to exterminate the demons..."

Despite saying that, after returning the Moon Crystal to the local earth god Zhang Gong, the evil immortal Zixiu immediately held a meeting with the other three minor immortals.

The so-called discussion was actually just Zixiu the Evil Immortal relaying his fabricated words to the three lesser immortals. He even gave the snake-clan lesser immortal a task: to warn the four lesser immortals, including the bear-clan, not to speak recklessly. With this, the operation to annihilate the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud was more than halfway complete; now it was time to divide the spoils!

While slaying the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud may seem to leave no spoils, it actually removed a malignant tumor from the blessed land, allowing it to show signs of recovery.

This further convinced many cultivators that as long as the other six Earth Demon Giants were completely wiped out, the blessed land might be restored to a mid-grade level, and another Immortal General-level warrior might be born!

Besides, the [metal] divine beasts and this "flat" mountain range were the substantial gains of this operation.

As initially expected, after the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud was destroyed, a small portion of the [Golden Nature] divine beasts regained their senses, but they appeared quite confused.

Most of the [metal element] divine beasts were deeply poisoned by the influence of the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud parasitizing the blessed land, and continued to attack everywhere like madmen.

As a result, the [Sexual Metal] divine beasts that had regained some of their sanity were divided up by various forces, while those that were deeply poisoned either died in battle or were captured.

As the person with the highest merit in this battle against the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud besides the immortals and gods, Su Ji naturally received a lot of resources. Su Ji chose all the spiritual materials containing spiritual patterns from the [Golden Nature] divine beast.

Ultimately, the ancient formation was still sealed at this time. In order to prevent it from being destroyed, it could only allow tangible but intangible beings to pass through.

Therefore, the physical form of the [Sexual Metal] Divine Beast can only be used in this blessed land. If Su Ji wants to obtain immediate benefits, he can only extract the tangible but intangible spiritual materials from the [Sexual Metal] Divine Beast's body.

For this kind of work, the mechanical masters of Qianbian Town are naturally the most skilled, so Su Ji entrusted it entirely to Mo Linglong.

However, just two days after Su Ji returned to Dongsang Village, new news came from the blessed land.

"After obtaining the bodies of the [Sexual Metal] divine beasts, the major powers plan to use the hands of the eight lesser immortals to cultivate [Sexual Metal] divine beasts that are invincible below the level of immortals and gods?"

The demons' reliance, besides the three leaders who were born from blessed lands and cultivated to the level of demons, is the six earth demon giants beneath the White Mist Rift.

As can be seen from the last annihilation of the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud, those demons in the Dao-Merging Cave Heaven and Blessed Land are probably not so easy to deal with, not to mention that the opponent has as many as nine top combatants.

If it's a one-on-one battle, the outcome will be decided by the armies of the various races. Even if the subordinates of the eight lesser immortals are not necessarily weaker than the demon army, with the support of external forces, the battle will be extremely fierce.

Therefore, after Zixiu the Evil Immortal proposed the plan to exterminate the Golden Fiend Demon Cloud and subdue the [Sexual Metal] Divine Beast, he received support from external forces.

Although most of the [Sexual Metal] divine beasts went mad, their corpses were still rare treasures. After Mo Linglong refined away the spiritual patterns and Yin energy within them, they became nourishment for other [Sexual Metal] divine beasts to consume and grow.

Only then did the cultivators realize that the reason why the [Sexual Metal] divine beasts did not devour each other was because the spiritual patterns within their bodies repelled each other. Mo Linglong's act of extracting spiritual materials containing spiritual patterns actually gave the [Sexual Metal] divine beasts the possibility of growing by devouring the remains of other divine beasts.

As a result, the first experimental subject, "Iron Monkey," reached the level of an invincible bloodline demon king and was equipped with the mechanical giant that Thousand Changes Town used to forge weapons as its external armor.

Even the Golden Flame Spirit Lord, who wields the Golden Mountain Immortal Seal, would find it difficult to break through the Iron Monkey's defenses in a short time.

If all the existing [metal element] divine beasts were cultivated to the level of invincible bloodline demon kings, and then equipped with mechanical giant armor, it would be equivalent to obtaining war machines that could basically ignore the army of demons. Even the earth demon giants of the Dao-harmonizing cave heavens and blessed lands would not be unable to entangle them.

"As a result, the final battle has indeed been postponed..."

Raising a [Sexual Metal] divine beast doesn't take much time, but crafting a mechanical giant puppet takes a lot of time.

Fortunately, since the mechanical giant puppet is not a divine artifact, the puppet's spirit can be refined in the mortal world.

Although Qianbian Town cannot reveal the crafting process of the mechanical giants, it can outsource some of the components to forces such as Jinshan Sect, Longshan Sect, and Taibai Dragon Clan.

As a result, in the following six months, all the major forces began to work hard in the blessed lands to forge weapons, while Thousand Changes Town was responsible for the forging of spiritual hearts and the assembly of mechanical puppets.

Su Ji now had enough time to cultivate, so he was happy to accept this situation and made considerable progress in his cultivation.

Of all the attributes, Su Ji is most proficient in Yin and Yang; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to comprehend four superior Yin-Yang mystical arts.

However, these mystical arts were either gradually completed from low to high, or they were obtained from the previous generation of Bright Moon Spirits, the Lotus Wonderland of the Great Sun Spirit Realm, and the Death Tornado. They were not true Yin or Yang of deflection.

Therefore, over the past six months, Su Ji has been like a local deity, sorting out his own path while integrating the mysteries he had previously mastered into the system.

Finally, in early December, Su Ji made great progress in [Earth Yang Eruption] and [Netherworld Profound Gate].

Previously, when dealing with spirit vein monsters, the Third Elder of the Dragon Mountain Sect had to pry open the monster's belly before he could use the [Tongyou Xuanmen] technique. Now, however, there is no need for such trouble; one can directly reach the desired destination.

Moreover, although the entrance and exit of the [Tongyou Xuanmen] appear to be in the same place, it has actually been affected by the force of deflection, and it is not something that can be destroyed in one or two moves.

As for the Earth Yang Eruption, it could only entangle the opponent like a tornado, but because the power was too dispersed, its destructive force was not strong enough.

When it was combined with the Way of Deflection, its power was concentrated in the center, transforming from a tornado that was seven or eight zhang long and nearly ten zhang thick into a five or six zhang long and three chi diameter Earth Yang Spear.

Back when Su Ji was still a Dongxuan mage, he had used the Earth Yang Spear. However, the current Earth Yang Spear is not only much larger, but its main body is also spiraled like a constantly rotating steel bar.

Most importantly, the power of the Earth Yang Spear has risen to a new level, reaching the level of a low-grade perfect immortal technique, which is comparable to a powerful immortal weapon.

Such power is comparable to the close combat strength of the Tiger Clan Fairy and the Wolf Clan Fairy. If one can make a move before the Snake Clan Fairy prepares her magic, it is not impossible to fight her!
Just as Su Ji was brimming with confidence, the ninth day of the twelfth month arrived, and the battle to annihilate the demons finally began. (End of Chapter)
