Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 434 Zhang Fan Appears, True Demon Information (8k, Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

"You all come from the True Demon Clan, right?"

"What's the point of asking these questions when you're about to die?"

Xie Xun spoke, but the attack did not stop. A dense cloud of yin energy emanated from his body and surrounded him.

Stop all the attacks.

However, the yin energy and mist were instantly dispersed, and Xu Chuan himself was blasted back more than ten feet.

"It's alright if you don't tell me, there will always be a way to find out."

Xu Chuan steadied himself, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

If soul searching doesn't work, there's Xu Dewen's special talent: devouring a soul allows him to access some of its memories.

Xu Chuan remained silent.

A flash of black light, and another soul banner appeared out of thin air in front of him.

"The 'Thousand Soul Banner' is useless, and you still want to bring out the mere 'Hundred Ghost Banner' to embarrass yourself?" Lu Chang sneered, and the demonic blade in his hand gleamed coldly once more.

"out!"

Xu Chuan ignored their mockery and coldly uttered a single word.

The banner moves automatically even without wind.

The expected large horde of ghosts did not emerge.

next moment.

A solid black figure, exuding an astonishing aura, suddenly appeared!

It was none other than the Blood Demon King, with blood-red hair, crimson eyes, and black clothes!
"A fourth-tier Ghost King?!"

The sinister smiles on Lu Chang, Xie Xun, and the others froze instantly.

Instead, there was unbelievable horror and terror!
They never expected that after possessing a fourth-tier corpse king, the other party would also be hiding another ghost king of the same tier!

This undisguised aura of a fourth-tier ghost king was also clearly sensed by Qi Feng, the demon lord, who was engaged in fierce battle in the main hall square.

His eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked in that direction, his brows furrowing slightly.

He felt that things were developing in a way that was beyond his control.

Zhang Daoran and Canghe were also deeply shaken.

The two looked at each other and saw deep astonishment in each other's eyes.

They then realized why Xu Chuan had risked everything to steal the Yin Wind Demon's "Thousand Soul Banner".

If the Old Demon of Yin Wind had a fourth-tier Ghost King in his presence, he could even fight against both of them alone.

Although Xu Chuan did not practice the Ghost Path, his powerful divine sense was enough to unleash seventy or eighty percent of the power of the "Thousand Soul Banner".

It's more than enough to deal with those disciples of the True Demon Clan.

The Blood Demon King had just appeared.

Its crimson eyes instantly locked onto the nearest disciple of a True Demon Clan, who was still immersed in shock.

A ghastly white bone nail shot out silently.

The disciple from the True Demon Clan didn't even have time to react.

"Pfft!"

The "White Bone Nail" easily pierced through his protective magical light and shot out from his shoulder blade!
The disciple screamed in agony, and half of his body stiffened instantly.

The flow of demonic energy is sluggish!

Almost at the same instant that the Blood Demon King made his move.

A faint light flashed between Xu Chuan's brows, and a silver needle of divine sense precisely pierced the sea of ​​consciousness of the seriously injured disciple, causing his screams to stop abruptly and leaving him in a state of brief disorientation.

At the same time, his figure blended into the surrounding shadows like a ghost.

In the next instant, he appeared behind and to the side of the disciple, using the divine power "Shadow Strike" to pierce through his heart in one move.

Then they extracted his soul and placed a seal on it.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he stored the corpse in his storage ring.

Just now.

Enraged, Lu Chang unleashed a beam of demonic light at him.

Seeing that Xu Chuan was standing behind him, he had almost no way to avoid it.

However, Xu Chuan transformed into a black shadow and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already beside the Blood Demon King.

"Roar!"

The Blood Demon King let out a shrill howl, and the boundless Yin energy surged outward from it like a tide.

In the blink of an eye, it covered an area of ​​about one mile in radius!

Amidst the dense Yin energy, the Yin Qi Dragon's combat power increased, and it continued to attack the remaining people with bared fangs and claws.

The Blood Demon King also joined the battle.

Xu Chuan concealed his aura and hid his form, transforming into an assassin ready to strike at any moment.

Lu Chang and others suddenly felt a surge of pressure.

The Blood Demon King sometimes condenses gray ghost claws to launch a strong attack, and sometimes sneaks up with white bone nails.

The Yin Qi Dragon is powered by the "Thousand Soul Banner". As long as Xu Chuan's magic power can be maintained and his divine consciousness has not been exhausted, it will be immortal.

Their superior defensive magic treasures shattered quickly.

One by one, they used their magical treasures to fight the Blood Demon King and the Yin Qi Flood Dragon head-on. The two weaker disciples of the True Demon Clan were severely injured in the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.

Then Xu Chuan took the opportunity to kill them.

Lu Chang and Xie Xun are both incredibly powerful, and now, having unleashed their full strength, they are capable of fighting against someone at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

But ultimately, it's not as good as a fourth-tier Ghost King.

Seeing that the two were about to use a secret technique to forcibly enhance their strength.

Without any hesitation, Xu Chuan endured the immense drain on his divine sense and unleashed the "Sword of Divine Sense" upon the two of them.

"cut!"

Two swords of divine consciousness pierced directly into the sea of ​​consciousness of the two!

"what!"

"Uh!"

Lu Chang and Xie Xun simultaneously let out extremely shrill screams, black blood seeping from their seven orifices, their bodies staggering, and the protective demonic light around them fluctuating violently, almost collapsing.

The Blood Demon King instantly activated the "White Bone Nail," which transformed into a pale white light and pierced Xie Xun's brow!

At the same time, he moved behind Lu Chang.

A hand covered in yin energy easily broke through his scattered protective demonic light and forcibly dug out his golden core!

Lu Chang's body stiffened, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.

A short while later.

Two demonic shadows then appeared on the two corpses.

"Damn it!!"

"You destroyed our physical bodies, so you shall pay for it with yours!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the two demonic souls, driven by a mad urge to perish together, bypassed the Blood Demon King and charged straight at Xu Chuan's brow and sea of ​​consciousness!

The Blood Demon King was unable to stop him in time.

Xu Chuan remained unmoved, seemingly waiting for them to come to him.

He slowly closed his eyes.

However, the intense body-snatching he had anticipated did not erupt within his sea of ​​consciousness.

A short while later.

Xu Chuan then opened his eyes again.

Two demonic souls, sealed by a mysterious power, appeared in his hands.

Xu Chuan put them away safely.

He didn't have time to check his spoils. He waved his hand to collect the corpses of Lu Chang and Xie Xun, as well as the dropped magical treasures, and shouted to the Blood Demon King, "Go!"

As for the Yin Qi Flood Dragon, it flew back into the "Thousand Soul Banner".

The two of them sped off in the direction Xu Dewen had gone.

Before long, they ran into two disciples of the True Demon Clan who were holding Xu Dewen hostage.

The two were taken aback.

"kill!"

Xu Chuan didn't give the other party a chance to speak or react at all.

A flash of silver light appeared between his brows, and two condensed, needle-like silver needles of divine sense shot out silently!

Divine Sense Needles are sufficient to deal with these disciples of the True Demon Clan.

"Sword of Divine Sense" is, after all, a killing move for those in the Nascent Soul stage.

"Uh!"

"what!"

The two disciples were caught off guard, and their minds were struck hard.

In the midst of excruciating pain, the magical artifact immediately went out of control.

The Blood Demon King's figure darted out from beside Xu Chuan like a black lightning bolt.

The ghostly claws flew about, instantly killing the two men.

After collecting the corpse and magical artifacts, Xu Chuan allowed the Blood Demon King to take control of the "Thousand Soul Banner".

The Blood Demon King did not resist.

Then he grabbed Xu Dewen's shoulder and flew away from Zhenmo Mountain without looking back!

"Gentlemen, I shall take my leave first!"

Qi Feng Demon Lord was furious. He never expected that the situation he had created would be ruined by a Golden Core cultivator.

The Xuan Yin Corpse King did not linger or attack again, but instead fled along the mountain range towards the outside of Zhenmo Mountain.

Zhang Daoran and Canghe were utterly helpless.

"Stay here for me!"

Qi Feng Demon Lord once again condensed a gigantic demonic palm, but the pressure of this palm was far greater than the last time.

He planned to quickly deal with the few clowns in front of him before chasing after Xu Chuan and the others.

He was confident that as long as he could kill them within a few dozen breaths, Xu Chuan and the others would not be able to escape his grasp.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, it's time," Canghe reminded him.

Zhang Daoran sighed softly, muttered something to himself, then bowed with his hands clasped, "This disciple is incompetent, please ask Master for help!"

Qi Feng, the Demon Lord, was taken aback upon hearing this.

Master?

Zhang Fan?!
A short while later.

A white light suddenly shone from Zhang Daoran's hairpin, and a massive amount of spiritual energy gathered around it.

The white light grew increasingly intense.

It eventually coalesced into a human figure.

He was an old man with white hair and beard, and a dignified and otherworldly appearance.

Although Zhang Fan is now old, Qi Feng Demon Lord recognized him at a glance.

"Zhang Fan, how dare you show your face before me!" Qi Feng Demon Lord's anger reached its peak after Zhang Fan appeared.

The demonic energy around him surged wildly, and there was no longer any way to suppress it.

A huge, almost imperceptible phantom appeared above his head.

"So it's Demon Lord Qi Feng. I didn't expect you to still be in this Demon Suppression Mountain. A thousand years have passed in a flash. Are you alright?"

Zhang Fan stroked his beard and smiled calmly, greeting him with ease.

"If you die, I'll be fine. Die!"

Zhang Fan shook his head helplessly, "Your temper is really getting more and more volatile."

"Bring me the stick!"

Zhang Daoran's storage ring lit up, and a dark gold long staff shot out, landing steadily in Zhang Fan's hand.

Cang He's eyes narrowed; he hadn't expected Zhang Daoran to actually possess Zhang Fan's spiritual treasure.

The preparations were indeed thorough.

"It seems that the Xuan Yue Sect will soon produce another Nascent Soul cultivator!"

“Disciple, Fellow Daoist Canghe, you should leave this place first to avoid being affected.”

"Yes, Master."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xuan Yue."

Without hesitation, the two fled towards the edge of Zhenmo Mountain.

Zhang Fan swept his divine sense across the entire Demon Suppression Mountain, including the fourth-tier Corpse King, Xu Chuan, and Xu Dewen.

"He's here too. How interesting. There are always so many similar things in the world."

"Zhang Fan, are you ignoring me?"

Zhang Fan looked at Qi Feng Demon Lord and said with a faint smile, "Outside Zhenmo Mountain, I may not be your match right now, but here, do you dare to unleash your full power of True Magic Form?"

"Go to hell!"

Qi Feng Demon Lord's hundred-foot-long demonic fist had already struck in front of Zhang Fan.

"One stick holds the sky high!"

The Crimson Flame Dragon Staff shone with golden light.

A deafening dragon roar resounded, its immense power so great that even Xu Chuan and Xu Dewen, who were near the edge of Zhenmo Mountain, could feel it.

Xu Dewen turned his head and looked over, his eyes filled with horror. He asked in a telepathic voice, "Grandfather, is that the power of a spiritual treasure?"
That's absolutely terrifying.

"If a cultivator who has just entered the Nascent Soul stage has a spiritual treasure in hand, he can contend with a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. Isn't that terrifying?"

Xu Chuan's eyes revealed longing, and then he added, "That day is not far away from my Xu family."

Xu Dewen's heart skipped a beat: "Grandfather has indeed obtained a magical treasure."

"That's true. Although it's practically impossible for a Golden Core cultivator to obtain a spiritual treasure when venturing into a secret realm, Grandfather's challenges must be different from ours."

The crimson light curtain was already in front of us.

Xu Chuan and the other two rushed out, and then he stopped flying and used the "Yi Wood Azure Light Escape".

In just a few breaths, they had reached a hundred miles away.

At this moment, Xu Chuan unleashed his full power without regard for the consumption of his magical energy.

By the time Zhang Daoran and Cang He rushed out, Xu Chuan had already disappeared.

The Xuan Yin Corpse King naturally chased after Xu Chuan.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, shall we pursue that Corpse King?"

The crane was referring to Xu Chuan, who was behind the Corpse King.

“Fellow Daoist Li is unpredictable and has remarkable skills. In addition to a fourth-order Corpse King, he also has a fourth-order Ghost King. If you say that you cultivated him yourself, I really don’t believe it.”

"Yes, even though the Corpse Yin Sect and the Heavenly Ghost Sect have produced only a few fourth-order Corpse Kings and fourth-order Ghost Kings, they are all cultivated generation after generation."

I observed that he has not used any obvious supernatural powers or techniques so far, as if he is deliberately concealing them.

His identity and origins are quite mysterious.

Perhaps even his cultivation level is a facade.

The two continued flying. After a pause, Zhang Daoran said, "That's enough. I have other places to go after this. We can talk about the matter of Zhenmo Mountain another time."

"If that's what Fellow Daoist Zhang says, then so be it."

The two then separated, one facing east and the other facing south.

The oppressive power of Zhenmo Mountain is astonishing.

But just half a cup of tea later, a burst of laughter came from the Demon Suppression Hall.

"Hahaha, Demon Lord Qi Feng, your strength is not enough. I hope that when we meet again, your strength will have improved!"

The words fell.

The "Crimson Flame Dragon Staff" transformed into a streak of crimson light and flew eastward in an instant, breaking through the restriction in the blink of an eye.

"Zhang Fan! Zhang Fan!"

"You've ruined my plans again! I'm not finished with you!"

In just over ten breaths.

The crimson light burst out of the Zhenmo Mountain territory and flew to Zhang Daoran's side.

Zhang Daoran clasped his hands and bowed.

It was full of spirituality, and after emitting a buzzing sound, it disappeared into his storage ring.

Although this trip used up all our trump cards, we gained two Tribulation-Crossing Pills, so it was definitely worth it.

One of them can help one person break through, while the other can serve as the foundation of the Xuan Yue Sect.

The Xuan Yue Sect ultimately lacked sufficient resources. Sects like the Qing Xu Sect, after five or six visits, would surely have figured out several places with resources for Nascent Soul formation.

Zhang Daoran, however, would need to rely on luck to obtain it.

He spent the rest of his time traveling, trying to explore as many places as possible.

Xu Chuan and Xu Dewen stayed somewhere for half an hour.

Until the fourth-tier Corpse King arrived and joined them.

The Xuan Yin Corpse King looked at Xu Chuan with a hint of resentment.

You fucking abandoned me and ran away!

Xu Chuan laughed and said, "I've prepared a lot of snacks for you this time. Later, I'll teach you the secret technique of corpse refining so you can refine and train your own subordinates."

The Xuan Yin Corpse King's eyes lit up, and he returned to the Yin Corpse Bag with satisfaction.

Xu Chuan helped Xu Dewen conceal his aura, disguised himself as an old man, and then flew with him toward the outer edge of the battlefield.

Although we encountered quite a few troubles along the way.

But after a month and a half, they returned to the outskirts of the battlefield.

Using the bloodline tracking technique, Xu Chuan easily located Xu Mingyuan and his group.

They seem unsatisfied with the border and are gradually exploring outwards.

Despite the threat of the "demons," their numbers were considerable, and each possessed unique strengths. They had reaped considerable gains in the past few months, even managing to kill one or two Golden Core demonic cultivators. Two days later.

In a forest.

Xu Chuan joined them.

Who are you?

Xu Mingyuan looked wary.

Xu Deling, Ye Fan, and the others looked ready to make a move at any moment.

"it's me."

Xu Chuan brushed past, revealing his true appearance.

Everyone's faces immediately lit up with joy.

"Father."

"grandfather."

"Master."

A group of people quickly gathered around.

Who is this?

Xu Mingxian looked at the old man beside Xu Chuan and asked.

"Fifth Uncle, it's me, Dewen." Xu Dewen grinned.

"Second Brother, what are you doing on the ancient battlefield?!" Xu Deling exclaimed in surprise. "You're incredibly bold to dare to venture in alone."

Xu Dewen said with a long face, "It wasn't my choice. I was forcibly taken to the ancient battlefield by a group of disciples from the True Demon Clan."

They placed a restriction on me.

After entering the battlefield, I fled for a long time, but they eventually found me.

If it weren't for my grandfather, I probably would have...
Fortunately, this misfortune turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and they actually gained quite a few good things.

"What good stuff?" Xu Deling asked curiously.

"Alright, we've been traveling for a long time, let's rest first, and then we can talk about what we've gained these past few days."

"Yes."

Half a day later.

The Xu family members began to report their gains to Xu Chuan.

"Two top-grade demonic magic treasures, and you killed two Golden Core demonic cultivators?"

Xu Mingxuan said, "There might have been a third one, but the last demonic cultivator was too cautious. Before the Mingxian Formation could completely trap him, he fled far away."

The other two were also very difficult to kill, and it was only after Mo Yue intervened that they were finally killed.

It must be said that every cultivator who has survived to this day possesses many valuable items.

The two of them alone produced eighty portions of top-tier third-order materials and over thirty portions of fourth-order materials and spiritual herbs.

No wonder they all want to come in and take a chance.

"As long as they survive, they will most likely rise to prominence rapidly."

Besides what they plundered, they also acquired more resources, each of which was at least Tier 3.

Xu Chuan nodded slightly and put away all the materials.

It would be safest for him to keep these.

Then Xu Chuan showed off his achievements.

One after another, top-grade magical treasures were presented to the crowd, dazzling them with their beauty.

Unfortunately, they were all demonic artifacts, not very suitable for them to use.

One of the top-grade defensive magic treasures was bestowed upon the Blood Demon King.

At this point, both the Corpse King and the Ghost King possess superior-grade magic weapons for both attack and defense. Once they have fully mastered them, their strength will increase significantly.

"These are the magical treasures that you obtained by killing those disciples of the True Demon Clan, Father?"

"Yes, there are nine people in total, and even the weakest one is no weaker than Deling."

Everyone sighed with emotion.

Then, Xu Chuan smiled and said to Xu Mingyuan, "Mingyuan, this time I have found you a talismanic inheritance, which is quite remarkable."

With that, he flicked his sleeve.

The "Heavenly Symbol Brush" and a piece of blue jade slip floated in mid-air.

"A talisman brush made of a high-grade magic weapon?!" Xu Deling recognized the grade of the talisman brush at a glance.

"Indeed, these are the two items I obtained from the spirit of that secret realm. I entrust them to you in the hope that you will gain something from them and enable my Xu family's lineage of talismanic arts to rise completely."

In the future, it will be no less powerful than the three major lineages of alchemy, weaponry, and array formation.

"Thank you, Father." Xu Mingyuan accepted the gift without hesitation. "I will certainly live up to your expectations and diligently study the Dao of Talismans."

"Oh, right, there are also these two magical artifacts. They are somewhat damaged. De Ling, could you take a look and repair them, and then bestow them upon suitable individuals?"

"Another top-grade magic weapon! Now my Xu family is completely free of top-grade magic weapons."

Xu Deling smiled and then said, "Grandfather, don't worry, the damage isn't serious. It can be repaired in a month or two."

then.

They left the area and returned to the border, deep within the battlefield.

This place allows them to rest and recover in peace, and to process some of their gains.

Soon.

Xu Mingxuan refined the superior-grade magic weapon "Purple Flame Pouch".

Xu Dewen focused all his efforts on refining the "Five Clouds Boat," the "Blood Fiend Shield," and the "Fiend Peak Blade," a superior-grade demonic artifact bestowed upon him by Xu Chuan.

Xu Mingyuan also refined the "Heavenly Talisman Brush".

One month later.

Xu Deling repaired the two top-grade magic treasures.

The golden flying sword was given to Xu Mingxian, and the cyan shield was given to Xu Mingshu.

The two also began to cultivate their magical artifacts in seclusion.

Half a month later.

Xu Dewen refined three magical treasures, greatly increasing his strength, and began to cultivate in seclusion to activate the [True Demon Body].

This process took a full seven days.

When he emerged from seclusion, his body was filled with demonic energy, which was difficult to control for a time.

Upon seeing this, Xu Deling teased, "Second Brother, you're becoming more and more like a true demonic cultivator."

"My physical constitution has awakened, and it's a bit hard to control for a while, but I feel that my strength has increased by more than 70%, and my physical strength and recovery ability have also greatly improved."

"That's amazing! What's your constitution?"

"Hehe, it's a secret. My grandfather forbade me to tell anyone. The fewer people who know, the better."

Even a cultivator with a perfected Golden Core and advanced supernatural powers would find it difficult to kill Xu Dewen now.

Several days later.

Xu Dewen continued his seclusion to adapt to the awakened "True Demon Body".

As for Xu Chuan, he taught the Xuan Yin Corpse King the secret art of corpse refining and gave him nine Golden Core corpses, along with a lot of materials for corpse refining.

After all, Xu Chuan couldn't keep doing the corpse refining himself all the time.

In addition, of the nine golden pills, five were given to the Profound Yin Corpse King and four were given to the Blood Fiend Ghost King.

Now, all the ghosts and spirits in Xu Chuan's possession have been incorporated into the "Thousand Soul Banner".

It contains the accumulated power of Yin Feng Lao Mo and Lu Jin, as well as the Yin spirits and ghosts guarded by the fourth-tier old ghost's cave, plus the Blood Fiend Ghost King as the main soul.

The power of the "Thousand Soul Banner" reached an extremely terrifying level.

It became Xu Chuan's most powerful magic weapon.

Of course, this does not include the "Wind and Thunder Wings" and "Black Tortoise Demon Refining Diagram" that have not yet been refined.

The remnant souls of those disciples from the True Demon Clan, except for those who possessed True Demons, were all fed to the Blood Demon King.

After devouring these remnant souls and golden pills, the Blood Demon King's strength will soon increase significantly.

Within a few years, upgrading to a level comparable to the second tier of infant formula should not be a problem.

Xu Chuan also taught the Heavenly Ghost Sect some methods for dealing with Yin spirits and ghosts, including the Blood Demon King.

Ordinary ghosts are of little use, so Xu Chuan instructed the Blood Demon King to refine some special ghosts with high potential in the future.

Seven more days passed.

Xu Chuan summoned Xu Dewen.

"Grandfather, what brings you here?"

"sit."

Xu Dewen did as instructed.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, two demonic souls appeared in Xu Chuan's palm.

"Remnant souls of true demons?!" Xu Dewen instantly guessed Xu Chuan's intention. "Grandfather wants me to devour them to obtain information?"

"Yes, just devour one person."

"Understood, Grandfather."

Even though there was some danger involved, Xu Dewen did as instructed without hesitation.

Refining the remnant soul of a true demon at the Nascent Soul level is extremely difficult.

It lasted for a full two weeks.

Xu Dewen slowly woke up, and the demonic aura on his body became even thicker.

Because the remnant soul of the true demon also possesses the essence of the true demon and is of very high quality, Xu Dewen's physique was further enhanced.

Even his soul was tainted by the true demonic intent.

In addition, his divine soul essence has grown considerably stronger.

He has already reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm, approaching the perfection of the Golden Core.

This shows how terrifying the talent "Heavenly Fiend Soul Devourer" is.

"How are you? Are you alright?"

"We can barely maintain our position, but we can't continue to devour them for a long time to come, or we'll be lost."

Xu Chuan nodded. "Then tell me, what's the situation regarding the True Demon Clan in the Blackwater Region?"

“It is located in Tianyuan Canyon,” Xu Dewen continued. “This place is a dangerous area in the Blackwater Region, located in the northern part of the area.”

It stretches for a total of 90,000 li.

The closest territory is the domain of the Heavenly Fiend Sect.

It was filled with numerous demonic beasts, permeated with demonic energy, and constantly swirled with dark, malevolent winds. Many areas were also plagued by miasma, but it also harbored exotic flowers and rare herbs, as well as unique mineral veins and metals.

"Even if it's a remote and sparsely populated area, surely it's not undiscovered by now?"

"That's because their real base is in a secret realm in the middle of Tianyuan Canyon, and it won't manifest unless there's a special method."

This secret realm is called the Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm, but the True Demon Clan prefers to call it the True Demon Clan.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chuan frowned slightly. "With so many years, no external enemies, and such long lifespans, wouldn't the True Demon Clan be incredibly powerful?"

"More or less." Xu Dewen sighed softly. "The True Demon Family doesn't refer to a single family, but rather a group."

The True Demon Palace is the dominant power among the many True Demon families.

The True Demon Palace is composed entirely of Nascent Soul level beings, including both possessed True Demons and normal Demonic Nascent Soul beings.

The true demon who possessed the body held a high position, and the grandson who devoured that person happened to know a thing or two about it.

After a pause, Xu Dewen said solemnly, "There are a total of twenty-eight Nascent Soul cultivators in the True Demon Palace, of whom twelve are True Demons who have possessed bodies."

The rest included those who had condensed their true demonic nascent souls, and others who were ordinary demonic nascent souls.

"So many, could there be any Great Cultivator-level Possession True Demons among them?"

"No, it seems to be due to the limitations of heaven and earth. Ordinary righteous and demonic paths will slow down their cultivation after entering the Nascent Soul stage, and it is even more difficult for true demons to improve by seizing bodies, which is ten or a hundred times more difficult."

Of the twelve possessing demons, only three reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

He was also the founder of the True Demon Palace.

However, there are also three powerful cultivators at the Great Cultivator level in the True Demon Palace. Two of them have condensed True Demon Nascent Souls, and one is an ordinary demon cultivator.

Therefore, the True Demon Palace split into two factions.

The True Demon faction that possesses the body, and the True Demon family faction.

Behind every Nascent Soul cultivator is a powerful True Demon family.

"True demons are ultimately different from their descendants. As true demon families continue to multiply, there will likely be members whose true demon bloodline is not prominent."

It is estimated that in the eyes of the ancient true demons, these true demon families could not be considered as their own.

They're merely pawns used to achieve their goals.

"My grandson doesn't know anything about this, as his memory is quite fragmented."

"This is enough. In many cases, intelligence is also a kind of power. At this time, my Xu family is not strong enough to get involved in these matters."

However, once the Xu family possesses the foundation of a top-tier Nascent Soul power, with dozens of Golden Core cultivators, several Nascent Soul cultivators, and even the combat strength of Grand Cultivators, they will be qualified to compete for the position of chess player.

Xu Dewen looked at Xu Chuan, his eyes shining, and said, "Grandson believes that my Xu family can definitely do it."

Xu Chuan smiled and nodded, "Go back and rest well."

"Yes, grandfather, I take my leave."

Xu Dewen left.

Xu Chuan believes that the crucial information he obtained will definitely be useful in the future.

Xu Chuan gave the Blood Demon King another demonic soul to refine into a special demonic soul.

If successful, although it is impossible to reach the strength of a fourth-order Ghost King, the chance of reaching the peak of the third order is not small, and it is even possible to be half-step into the fourth order.

"I don't know where Mei Yun went. There's no news at all. Even the calculations made by the [Heavenly Secrets Dao Derivation] are very vague."

It seems to be deep within the battlefield, yet it also seems not to be.

The only certainty is that he's still alive.

Xu Chuan muttered to himself, "I hope I can get out alive."

Another half month has passed.

Xu Chuan finally refined the "Wind and Thunder Wings" and could now use them.

He tried it out, and after a flash of wind and thunder, a streak of azure-gold light streaked across the sky, instantly reaching a hundred miles away.

This speed is definitely faster than a typical perfect level of escape technique.

However, just as the talisman said, such magical treasures are not something Xu Chuan can use at will in his current state, as they consume terrifying amounts of magical power.

It would be more worthwhile to use the "Yi Wood Green Wood Escape" myself.

a few days later.

Xu Chuan handed the Yin Corpse Bag and the Thousand Soul Banner to Xu Dewen, and then traveled outside in his original form, taking Mo Yue with him.

The Xu family has already gained a great deal from this trip to the ancient battlefield, so there is no need for them to take any more risks.

The more important thing for the remaining time is to travel more and learn more about the ancient battlefield.

And to build and expand the Xu family's network of connections.

After all, most of the forces that came in this time were at the Nascent Soul level or above.

Some weak families or small sects with only one Golden Core elder in charge would not dare to take this risk.

Besides these, there are also solitary, independent cultivators.

Not all of these people are easy targets.

Among independent cultivators, there are often those with great fortune who rise to prominence.

Both in the southern and black water regions, there are many Nascent Soul cultivators, some traveling alone, others establishing their own independent forces.

The Xu family needs to guard against external enemies, but it is impossible for them to adopt a closed-off policy.

These connections will most likely provide the Xu family with some assistance in the future.

Xu Chuan had another purpose in venturing deep into the battlefield: to see if he could encounter his disciple, Mei Yun.

But this was just a side trip.

He didn't have high hopes.

After all, even the [Heavenly Secrets Dao Evolution] cannot calculate it clearly.

This situation can only be caused by Mei Yun being in a very special place, which has already affected the divination of celestial secrets.

For several months.

Xu Chuan has been attacked multiple times by Nascent Soul demonic cultivators and demonized monsters from the depths of the battlefield, including "Charm", "Mountain Demon" and "Corpse Demon".

But relying on his own combat strength and the power of the Mo River, he overcame each danger.

They also obtained some materials, spiritual herbs, and even another fourth-order fire-type spiritual vein.

Two more months passed.

Xu Chuan was passing through a swamp when he sensed an astonishing fluctuation dozens of miles away.

I went to take a look.

I originally just wanted to watch for a while and then leave.

Unexpectedly, the old man in blue robes possessed a pupil technique and saw through his concealment at a glance.

“Fellow Daoist, I am Sun Chuanxing from the Sun family of the Xuan Yue Prefecture in Tiannan. You should also be a cultivator from Tiannan. I hope you will lend a helping hand. I will remember this kindness in my heart.”

"The Sun family?"

Xu Chuan had a sudden thought, remembering that his son Xu Mingxian and Sun Zhantian, the prodigy of the Sun family, seemed to have a good relationship.

The Sun family is one of the three major Nascent Soul forces in Xuan Yue Prefecture, with two Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

One is in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the other is in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Moreover, the Sun family has deep roots in Xuan Yue Prefecture, with a history of over three thousand years.

At its peak, it was the number one in Xuan Yue Prefecture.
