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

When Su Ji saw the Eyeless Demon Lord again, he knew that the last battle should end here.

More than a year ago, Su Ji was invited to Jushan to open the Qiu family's new spiritual realm. When he was besieged by members of the Demonic Sect, Su Ji had a brief fight with the Eyeless Demon Lord.

However, at that time, Su Ji's combat power had not yet reached the level of an invincible high cultivator, and in the end, he could only watch helplessly as the Eyeless Demon Lord led the Insect Queen to escape underground.

Time has passed, and although the Eyeless Demon Lord has found the evil spirits within the blessed land, his strength is still at the top level. Even though he blocked Su Ji's first attack with the help of a treasure, he still died on the spot under Su Ji's repeated attacks.

This scene not only happened right under the nose of the Three-Eyed Demon King, but it was also the result of his strenuous rescue efforts, making it a slap in the face for the Three-Eyed Demon King.

"You human brat, how dare you be so arrogant! Today you will not leave alive!"

Although the Three-Eyed Demon King said this, he did not immediately attack.

Judging from the brief exchange just now, the cultivator's methods have basically reached the power of a low-grade mastery immortal technique. He even destroyed the rainbow magic weapon that the cultivator had painstakingly cultivated for many years with a golden light comparable to a top-tier immortal weapon.

The best course of action is to wear it down with its demonic minions, and then let it find an opportunity to strike.

"Hmph!" Su Ji was not afraid at all when he saw the twenty-odd demon lords coming. He was even a little excited.

Just now, he used the golden light bestowed by the Immortal Lord to counter the black rainbow light of the Three-Eyed Demon Lord. In addition to blocking the fatal blow, he also comprehended some profound mysteries from it.

It should be noted that the golden energy originally only possessed the power of a low-grade perfect immortal technique, but because this place was the immortal lord's dojo, it reached the power of a top-tier immortal weapon's full-force attack. This might be due to the immortal lord's secret assistance after being trapped behind the six White Tiger Divine Pillars.

It was precisely these mysterious fluctuations of heaven and earth that allowed Su Ji to accumulate his strength and unleash it, integrating what he had gained from his previous arduous cultivation and pre-battle discussions, and thus cultivate this high-grade mystical technique, [Gathering Metal Qi].

It is called qi, but in reality it is just analogous to the golden qi bestowed by the immortal lord. When it is small, it is only the length of a finger, but when it grows up, it can be more than ten feet long, just like a divine weapon!
Just now, Su Ji used the longsword formed from the [Gathering Golden Qi] to pierce through the lightning-like afterimage of the Eyeless Demon Lord's escape, and then strangled him with countless bursts of golden qi.

Explosions, collapses, and strangulation are all effects of Su Ji integrating the Dao of "Deflection" into the Five Elements, Four Symbols, and Yin and Yang. They can be described as rebounds after spatial compression, or as changes from order to disorder.

"I have mastered the fifth superior-grade profound technique, [Gathering Metal Qi], and my path has finally been validated!"

Although Su Ji had previously mastered four profound arts, they were all related to the profound skill he cultivated, "Minor Yin-Yang Method." Whether he could continue to explore and comprehend the universe to refine the Four Symbols and Five Elements was only a theoretical question.

Only now that Su Ji has mastered the superior-grade profound technique [Gathering Metal Qi] can it be considered that the feasibility of this path has been confirmed, and only from this point on can he be considered a potential Immortal Lord!

More than twenty demon lords attacked, but only four or five could threaten Su Ji. In fact, Su Ji only needed to use his movement techniques and escape skills to prevent these demon lords from touching him.

However, Su Ji's expression suddenly darkened. It wasn't that the Three-Eyed Demon King had launched a sneak attack, but rather that after the Eyeless Demon Lord died, the evil formation of the Demonic Sect showed no signs of disorder.

Yan Tianchou had already reached an analysis: "The great formation was already set up long before we arrived, so killing the Eyeless Demon Lord is useless. Only by destroying the foundation and even the core of the formation can we stop the Mountain Demon King from joining the Dao Immortal Master's Daoist temple!"

Just like the waterwheel in Dongsang Village, killing Li Jiahe, who made the waterwheel, is useless; only destroying the waterwheel's components will work.

So, Su Ji ignored the twenty-odd demon lords who had come to besiege him, and disappeared into the air with a turn of his body.

"kill!"

Among the twenty-odd demon lords, some were led out by the One-Horned Bull Demon to hunt them down, and many of them were injured because of Su Ji, so they were now filled with killing intent.

However, when the attacks of more than twenty demon lords landed on Su Ji, who was fleeing, a considerable number of them disappeared into the void.

The next instant, the attacks that were supposed to target Su Ji appeared outside the Demonic Sect's formation.

"boom!"

A series of loud explosions rang out, causing ripples to appear on the surface of the demonic array, but it showed no signs of damage.

Seeing this, the Three-Eyed Demon King couldn't help but smile sinisterly: "Once the great formation is formed, even the Immortal Lord of the Golden Cave Sect wouldn't be able to break it with a single blow, let alone a mere Cave Profound cultivator like you!"

This demonic formation is composed of treasures accumulated by the Mountain Demon King and the demonic sect over many years as its core, and nearly a thousand evil demons as its foundation. It is not so easy to break.

Even Su Ji couldn't help but sigh, "It's said that since ancient times, only one in ten of the demon army has survived, yet there are still over a thousand left. No wonder they once occupied this blessed land..."

In ancient times, the demons relied on their numerical advantage to overcome the strong and contend with the eight lesser immortals, including the White Tiger Immortal General, even forcing the Immortal Lord and the True Monarch to lead the people into hiding.

If a thousand demons could form a formation comparable to an invincible celestial army, then it's no wonder that the Golden Cave Sect suffered such a crushing defeat.

At this moment, Yan Tianchou suddenly reminded him, "The lower half of the Mountain Demon King has already merged into the rocks. At this speed, it will probably only take a quarter of an hour to merge with the Daoist Immortal Master's Daoist Temple!"

If the Immortal Lord were in normal condition, he would never have given the Mountain Demon King the opportunity to merge with the Dao. The Immortal Lord was at his peak combat power when he suppressed the Undying Demon King ten thousand years ago.

However, it was precisely because the Immortal Lord suppressed the Undying Demon King that he still had to devote most of his power to fighting against the Undying Demon King. Despite having such a large dojo, he could only move around near the six White Tiger Divine Pillars.
"Is there only fifteen minutes left?"

Su Ji instantly felt immense pressure. In fact, after discovering the problem, he had made the choice that would have been most convincing to all the commanders, but he was still outmaneuvered by the evil forces, ultimately ending up in a mediocre situation.

Nowadays, the cultivators in the rift valley cannot be relied upon. The Tiger Clan's little immortal is too far away, and even if they could notify the evil immortal, it might be too late. Only the ape clan's little immortal and the Jinfeng County brigade can provide timely support.

Su Ji certainly hadn't forgotten the little fairy of the bear clan, but at this moment the little fairy of the bear clan was being held back by the one-horned bull demon, and it would be difficult to determine a winner in a short time.

Fortunately, Su Ji and Yan Tianchou quickly came up with a solution, and whether it would succeed or not, they would only know by trying.

So, Su Ji moved and charged into the cave.

"Not good!" The Three-Eyed Demon King immediately saw through Su Ji's thoughts and led more than twenty demon lords to begin a pursuit and interception.

If Su Ji were to enter the cave and receive the Immortal Lord's gift, although he wouldn't be able to break the Demonic Sect's great formation, he might be able to use it to threaten the lives of the Three-Eyed Demon King and the other Demon Lords.

Then, more than twenty demon lords blocked the way to the cave, and the Three-Eyed Demon King flew directly towards the cave entrance.

Just then, Su Ji suddenly flashed away and headed in another direction.

The Three-Eyed Demon King's first reaction was that Su Ji knew things were hopeless and was preparing to escape and seek help.

"Haha, do you think this is a place you can come and go as you please?"

To prevent Su Ji from feinting, the Three-Eyed Demon King left behind a dozen Demon Lords and over a hundred evil spirits before leading a dozen Demon Lords in pursuit of Su Ji. He was determined not to let Su Ji leave so easily.

Even as Su Ji approached the vicinity of the Bear Clan's Little Fairy and the One-Horned Bull Demon's battle, the Three-Eyed Demon King couldn't resist adding fuel to the fire, saying, "One-Horned Bull Demon, hurry up and give that kid a piece of your mind!"

The One-Horned Bull Demon was already relying on its powerful defense and regeneration abilities to entangle with the Bear Clan Fairy. If it were to be distracted now, it would only suffer even more. However, since the plan to rescue the Undying Demon King was related to the future of the demons, the One-Horned Demon King could only grit its teeth and throw a punch at Su Ji.

Seeing this, the bear-like fairy's anger surged: "You're fighting me, yet you still have the mind to attack Fellow Daoist Golden Toad? You're practically courting death!"

Although the Bear Clan Fairy's combat power was only at the level of a powerful immortal weapon after leaving the dojo, it was able to use time, just like the Snake Clan Fairy, to construct a top-tier immortal weapon technique that was even stronger. Even though it was not yet finished, the Bear Clan Fairy was still half a level stronger than the One-Horned Bull Demon, so it would never allow Su Ji to get hurt.

Just then, Su Ji transmitted his voice, "Don't worry about me, I have a plan that I need your help with, little fairy..."

As Su Ji said this, his figure vanished instantly, and the One-Horned Bull Demon's punch, which lacked tracking ability, landed on empty air.

Then, as Su Ji fled, he attacked from behind, managing to kill two demon lords of considerable strength.

As Su Ji was about to fly into Golden Wind Canyon, the Three-Eyed Demon King raised an eyebrow: "There are only some small fry in Golden Wind Canyon. Could it be that he is not here to ask for help, but to use the special terrain of this place to get rid of us?"

Golden Wind Canyon is not only filled with countless golden winds, but also has caves on the mountain walls leading to various places, like a maze. If Su Ji were to escape into it, the Demon Lord would likely be attacked from both sides.

Just as the Three-Eyed Demon King was determined to sacrifice some demon lords, Su Ji flew towards the depths of the Golden Wind Canyon and then easily entered the mountain ruins.

Only then did the Three-Eyed Demon King reveal a look of shock: "So there's actually a passage leading to the Immortal Lord's dojo here!"

However, even though the Three-Eyed Demon King gave chase with all his might, he was a step too slow because of the omnipresent golden wind, and thus lost the initiative to catch up.

At Su Ji's current speed, it would only take him thirty or forty breaths to fly from the Tombstone Wharf to Golden Wind Canyon. Now, as he enters the gap in the cave he opened up, the speed is a bit slower, but there are fewer demons blocking his way.

Not long after, Su Ji returned to the Immortal Lord's Dojo. However, to Su Ji's surprise, he encountered some cultivators there.

Su Ji immediately understood that these cultivators, apart from the fish-man protectors, were spies sent by various minor immortals to monitor the Immortal Lord's dojo. They had to reveal themselves and flee to various parts of the mountain ruins because of the invasion of evil spirits.

Su Ji had nothing to say to them, since the highest combat strength of these people was only that of ordinary high-level cultivators, and they couldn't be of any help at all. So he flew straight to the location of the six White Tiger Divine Pillars.

However, unlike before, after walking through the long corridor inside the mountain, Su Ji sensed an eerie atmosphere ahead.

"Golden energy... the power of faith and will... a yin energy carrying the stench of decay!"

Clearly, when the demon army arrived, the long-dormant Undying Demon King also felt hope of breaking free from suppression and launched a challenge against the Immortal Lord today.

After Su Jixiu activated his minor supernatural nose, he became particularly sensitive to the smells in the air: "Could it be the rotting smell of the Undying Demon King?"

However, a dissenting voice rang out from the plaza: "The stench of decay doesn't come from the Undying Demon King, but from a demon used as a medium by him..."

Before the words were finished, a white tiger, its body radiating golden energy, emerged from the cave and looked out:

“I know why you’ve come, Fellow Daoist Golden Toad. This white tiger avatar is something I’ve refined over many years during a brief period of awakening. Within the Daoist temple, it’s comparable to a top-tier immortal weapon that combines offense and defense. However, I don’t have the energy to control it, so I can only entrust it to you to take out…”

The battle between the Immortal Lord and the Undying Demon King is not only about the level of power, but also about the soul, consciousness, and even the will of the spirit. The Immortal Lord can only wait for Su Ji to come here.

Of course, there were many cultivators inside the cave, but even if they were trustworthy, their combat strength was insufficient.

"A double-top-tier White Tiger Celestial Weapon!"

In reality, the Immortal Lord only instructed Su Ji to take the immortal weapon out and then hand it over to Daoist Zhenyi to control. After all, controlling such an immortal weapon was extremely mentally taxing, and Su Ji might exhaust his mental energy after controlling it for only a breath or two.

However, Su Ji is not alone. He also has the Heavenly Planner. As long as he provides enough combat power, he can continue to control the White Tiger Immortal Soldier!

Therefore, Su Ji immediately took control of the White Tiger Immortal Soldier from the Immortal Lord and then flew towards the corridor.

At this moment, the Three-Eyed Demon King and his demon lords caught up after them, winding their way through the corridor, and bumped into Su Ji.

Upon seeing this, Su Ji's heart stirred, and he immediately revealed a hint of killing intent: "Three-Eyed Demon King, if I had fought you earlier, I would have had a chance to kill you, but time was of the essence. Now that you dare to chase after me, then prepare to die!"

Most of the White Tiger Immortal Soldiers' abilities are close combat. As Su Ji charged out, the [Earth Yang Spear] and the sword blade formed from [Gathering Gold Qi] flew out from his hands.

"not good!"

The Three-Eyed Demon King had long anticipated that Su Ji might receive benefits from the Immortal Lord, and upon seeing the White Tiger Immortal Soldier, his first reaction was to flee.

As a result, the dozen or so demon lords who followed immediately became the last ones to fall. Due to the narrow terrain, four demon lords were skewered like candied hawthorns, and three others were pierced through the body by the golden sword blades.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Five demon lords were instantly killed on the spot, and two wounded demon lords tried to escape, but were smashed to pieces by the white tiger immortal soldiers who rushed over.

The six demon lords who fled with the Three-Eyed Demon King fled in panic. Two of them were killed by Su Ji's Earth Yang Lotus, three were killed by the White Tiger Immortal Soldiers, and one demon lord managed to escape into the mountain ruins.

Su Ji ignored the last Demon Lord and instead focused on the Three-Eyed Demon King. The [Earth Yang Spear] instantly took shape and stabbed towards the Three-Eyed Demon King in a spiral motion. The sword formed from [Gathering Gold Qi] followed closely behind, determined to kill the Three-Eyed Demon King here in the mountain corridor.

"Black Rainbow!"

At this point, the Three-Eyed Demon King, desperate to survive, disregarded any treasures. The black rainbow magic weapon, which had been cleaved in two, flew out from the left and right, blocking Su Ji's two fused high-grade mystic arts.

Just then, Su Ji suddenly smiled and raised his hand to strike the white tiger immortal soldier he was riding: "Golden Wind Sword Blade!"

The next instant, the white tiger opened its mouth wide, transforming into a wind tunnel in the Golden Wind Canyon. Strands of golden wind at the level of immortal magic flew out from it, filling all the three-eyed demon king's dodging space.

"what!"

Little did the Three-Eyed Demon King know that Su Ji's use of the White Tiger Immortal Soldier in close combat was just a ruse; the White Tiger Immortal Soldier actually possessed ranged attacks as well.

Moreover, the fact that Su Jigang could wield the White Tiger Immortal Weapon so skillfully and for such a long time after obtaining it is not the behavior of a high-level cultivator of the Cave Profound Realm.

As the Three-Eyed Demon King was in a sorry state, he couldn't help but think, "Could it be that this person has cultivated into a true spirit, which is why he has such powerful spiritual strength?"

This thought quickly became the Three-Eyed Demon King's final idea. As Su Ji charged forward on the White Tiger Immortal Soldier, the Three-Eyed Demon King was instantly torn to pieces by the White Tiger Immortal Soldier.

"happy!"

Even though Yan Tianchou's use of the White Tiger Immortal Soldier consumed more than 200,000 units of Su Ji's computing power, Su Ji still felt it was well worth it.

After all, Su Ji had been on the run for the sake of the plan, and the feeling of having power but no time to use it was very frustrating. Only a decisive battle could make him feel refreshed.

Soon, Su Ji rode his White Tiger Immortal Soldier out of the mountain ruins. Just as he had planned, the Bear Clan's little immortal had deliberately shifted the battlefield to above the Demonic Sect's grand formation. (End of Chapter)
