Chapter 96 What a formidable evil dragon at the Immortal Realm! (4000 words)
"Master, are there really dragons in the North Sea?"

Over the North Sea, a young man asked his master a question.

The man's master was an old man with white hair, who looked like a hermit, the kind of person people would call a hermit.

The old man's name was Li Fengshan. He was the patriarch of the Myriad Manifestations Sect and a cultivator at the peak of the Immortal Realm.

The old man held a jade plate with an array.

The pointer on the jade plate kept spinning, as if it were locating something.

"Yes, of course there is. In the North Sea, there is a Dragon Lord, a dragon at the early stage of the Immortal Realm."

The sect leader of the Myriad Manifestations Sect stroked his beard and smiled.

"Under his command are eight dragon kings. One of them, a blue dragon, is her sister and manages the affairs of the North Sea for her. The other seven dragon kings are located in the seven directions of the North Sea, guarding the Dragon Palace."

The North Sea is located at the intersection of the realm of demons and the realm of myriad laws.

Furthermore, since the North Sea Dragon Palace doesn't usually cause trouble, the human race mostly ignores it.

Hearing his master's words, a hint of worry flashed in the eyes of the young man named Su Ren:
“Master, the North Sea is so powerful, I think we should just give up. I can cultivate on my own. If we really hurt the North Sea Dragon Lord, the entire North Sea might turn against the demon race, which would be detrimental to our human race’s front.”

"Silly boy."

Li Fengshan smiled, his old face covered with wrinkles.

He reached out and patted his disciple's head: "Su Ren, you are too kind, but you must know one thing: a human is a human, and a demon is a demon. Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!"

Do you really believe that the North Sea Dragon Palace is merely neutral?

Ha ha ha.

The North Sea Dragon Palace is simply waiting for the demon race to offer an even higher price!

As for the goodwill emanating from the North Sea Dragon Palace, it was merely an attempt by the North Sea Dragon Palace to lull the human race into a false sense of security.

When the time is right, the North Sea Dragon Palace will not hesitate to bare its fangs at the human race!

"Is that really true?" Su Ren asked with an innocent look in his eyes.

“Su Ren, you are still young, so naturally you don’t understand the wickedness of these demons.”

Li Fengshan sighed.

"Ten thousand years ago, after the first great war between the human race and the demon race, the conflict between the human race and the demon race became irreconcilable. Over the years, the two sides have had constant friction and their hatred has accumulated to a very deep level."

Do you know what the greatest calamity facing the snake clan as they traversed the river was?
It is not some so-called heavenly tribulation, but rather a tribulation for our human race.

Dragons are treasures from head to toe. Most of the dragons that transform into river dragons are hunted down, and only a small number manage to escape into the deep sea.

Do you think the dragons wouldn't hate us humans under these circumstances?
They wanted to skin us alive, to tear us apart, and to use our souls as fuel for lamps!

Hearing his master's words, Su Ren lowered his head and remained silent for a moment.

"That's how all demons are."

Li Fengshan patted his last disciple on the shoulder again, a burning glint in his eyes.

“Disciple, you don’t need to think too much. Although you are only fifteen years old and your cultivation level is only at the Cave Abode Realm, you are exceptionally talented. You are a rare talent, the Returning Void Sacred Body, which can devour all things, return to the origin, and transform nutrients for your own use.”

For you, there are virtually no bottlenecks in cultivation.

As for me, I don't have many years left to live, but fortunately I still have this level of attainment.

The North Sea Dragon Lord is only at the early stage of the Immortal Realm, while I am two minor realms higher than her.

Although I cannot win easily, I have prepared for so long that even if it means mutual destruction, I will kill her.

This is not only to rid my human race of a great scourge, but also for you!

"Once you absorb the essence of this dragon's blood, and combine it with the Myriad Manifestations Technique of my Myriad Manifestations Sect, all you need to do is cultivate diligently, and your future will be limitless!"

"But Master, what about you?" Su Ren couldn't bear to part with his master.

Su Ren was originally an orphan.

However, five years ago, Su Ren was found by Li Fengshan and embarked on the path of cultivation.

For Su Ren, his master was like his father.

"Hehehe, it's alright. Just do your job well. This is for the greater good of the world and for the long-term survival of the Myriad Manifestations Sect. Do you understand?" Li Fengshan's tone was reprimanding.

"Disciple understands." Su Ren lowered his head.

"Let's go quickly." Li Fengshan smiled at his disciple. "I have located her position. Today, I will severely damage Beihai!"

"It's Master!"

An uninhabited island in Beihai.

A boy sat on the beach, and next to him was a spirit-gathering magic circle being drawn.

The material used to create this magic circle is the Nine Nether Liquid of Dragon Abyss.

Even a few drops of the Nine Nether Liquid, if spilled outside, would cause a frenzy among many rogue cultivators.

But now, this large bottle of Nine Nether Liquid is being used at Xiao Mo's feet as if it were free, simply to draw a spirit-gathering array.

Any cultivator who sees this will sigh, "What a waste!"

The woman in the white dress walked beside the boy with her hands behind her back, her long legs moving beneath her skirt. She took small steps as she spoke:
"Today, your elder sister will explain to you the knowledge about spiritual practice."

First, let's talk about realms.

What is a state of being?
Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Cave Abode, Dragon Gate, Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, Jade Uncarved Stone, Immortal, Ascension.

The so-called realms are actually all human-made divisions.

For humans, a cultivation realm is the result of a cultivator's understanding of the Great Dao and their accumulated practice over time.

In other words, if you don't have a thorough understanding of the Great Dao, and if you haven't accumulated enough knowledge through diligent practice, it will be difficult for you to reach a new level.

For the demon race, realm is more of a purification of bloodline.

However, this does not mean that the demon race does not need to comprehend the Great Dao.

Bloodline and understanding of the Great Dao are equally important to the demon race.

What then is the Way?
Confucian scholars, by continuing the lost learning of past sages and bringing peace to all generations, can prove the Way.

Taoist practitioners can attain enlightenment by comprehending the universe, understanding nature, and realizing their true nature.

Buddhist disciples can attain enlightenment by teaching sentient beings, doing good deeds, and accumulating merit.

The wandering knights of the Mohist school sought to prove the principles of fairness in their hearts.

Even the Hehuan Sect (a sect of Buddhist sects) responded.
Well.
I won't go into that, Xiao Mo, you don't need to know.

In short, there are countless paths in the world.

But ultimately, it's all about following the path in one's heart.

As long as you believe that the path you are on is the right one, and continue to walk it with unwavering faith, you will attain enlightenment.

If you eventually realize that your path is wrong, the higher your realm, the more likely you are to have an unstable Dao heart, or even a shattered Dao heart.

Unless you break through and rebuild, your level of understanding may plummet.

"Do you understand what I'm saying, Xiao Mo?"

Xiao Mo, who was gathering spiritual energy within the formation, opened his eyes and slowly nodded: "I think I understand somewhat. Sister Bai, in the end, will you really be without desires or wants?"

"Hehehe, how could that be?"

Bai Ruxue covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"It depends on what path the cultivator takes. Unless they cultivate the path of detachment, most cultivators will eventually reach a point where they cannot be without desires."

Quite the opposite.

Most cultivators, the further they progress in their cultivation, the more they reveal their personality and preferences.

For example, a lustful person might pursue beauty even more. Or a greedy person might become even more greedy.

But the higher their level of attainment, the more different kinds of beauty and wealth they will pursue.

"Oh, I see." Xiao Mo nodded.

"Good, now let's talk about spiritual power."

What is spiritual power?
So-called spiritual power is divided into two types: one is the spiritual power absorbed from heaven and earth.

The other type is the spiritual power generated by the cultivator himself.

Realm and spiritual power can be seen as a cause-and-effect relationship.

The higher a cultivator's realm, the more spiritual energy they generate within their body, and the more spiritual energy they absorb from the outside world each moment.

But why are there still differences in skill level among people at the same level?

Ultimately, it's because of the different quality of spiritual energy.

The amount of spiritual power determines the size of the spells that can be cast.

Different qualities of spiritual energy result in different levels of magical power.

And Xiao Mo, you must remember this.

The strength of a cultivator's combat power cannot be determined solely by their cultivation level.

Every cultivator has a different main cultivation method, different combat experience, and different sensitivity to combat, so their fighting strength is naturally different as well.

Therefore, you should never assume that someone is easy to bully just because they have a low moral character.

No matter who you're facing, you can't underestimate them, Xiao Mo, do you understand?

"Mmm." Xiao Mo nodded. "I understand, Sister Bai."

"Good to know." Bai Ruxue stopped in her tracks. "You are now a Foundation Establishment cultivator, far surpassing most cultivators. Starting today, I will help you open up the three major caverns within your body. After that, Xiao Mo, you can..."

When Bai Ruxue was halfway through her speech, her eyebrows furrowed.

The next moment, beams of white light crashed down towards Bai Ruxue and Xiao Mo!
Bai Ruxue stepped forward and shielded Xiao Mo in her arms.

"Boom boom boom!"

The white beam of light struck Bai Ruxue and Xiao Mo, raising dust several meters high.

The enemy's attack gradually stopped, the sand and dust dissipated, and a sea-blue barrier enveloped the two of them.

"Sister Bai," Xiao Mo raised his head and looked at Bai Ruxue.

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Mo. It's just a few uninvited guests. I'll take care of it soon."

Bai Ruxue smiled and ruffled Xiao Mo's hair, then tossed out a scroll.

The magic array that appeared on the scroll enveloped Xiao Mo.

"It's quite interesting that the Lord of the North Sea is protecting a young human."

Li Fengshan's voice echoed from the sky.

Bai Ruxue looked up and saw an old man and a child floating in the air.

Bai Ruxue sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy between the two.

The younger one's realm is at the Cave Abode Realm, while the older one's realm is probably no lower than one's own.

"My Beihai has never provoked your human race. What do you mean by this?" Bai Ruxue's eyes turned into incomparably majestic golden vertical pupils, and her voice was authoritative without being angry.

"It doesn't mean anything, I just want to use your life for a while."

Without saying a word, Li Fengshan stretched out his old palm and pressed down.

A giant golden hand fell from the sky!

"Xiao Mo, don't leave this formation, your sister will be back soon."

With a light, snow-white step, she rushed towards the golden palm.

In an instant, ice pillars emerged from the snow-white surroundings, shattering the golden palm print as their master shattered it.

"Disciple, step back!"

Li Fengshan shouted and made the Myriad Manifestations Seal with his fingers.

In an instant, the heavy clouds in the sky surged and condensed into the forms of ancient divine beasts such as dragons, unicorns, phoenixes, and ferocious beasts!

"Hooooo!!!"

The divine beast formed from clouds, carrying the force of wind and thunder, rushed straight towards Bai Ruxue!
Bai Ruxue blasted the leading Phoenix Dharma Image into dissipation with a single palm strike.

However, the remaining divine beasts continued their attack and were already in front of Bai Ruxue in an instant.

At the same time, Li Fengshan pointed his fingers like a sword and flicked them towards the blazing sun in the sky.

Several fiery ropes, as hot as molten gold, descended from the sky like the claws of a golden crow, binding Bai Ruxue like chains.

Bai Ruxue frowned and glanced quietly at Xiao Mo on the ground.

She didn't want to reveal her true form to Xiao Mo, after all, she was a demon, and the relationship between humans and demons was extremely tense at the moment.

In this context of an impending war between humans and demons, even a remote fishing village like Huanyu Village, which already had a certain degree of goodwill towards the demons, has been affected.

Nowadays, the villagers of Huanyu Village speak of the demon race with a degree of wariness.

Even though Xiao Mo is still young and doesn't understand anything, he probably doesn't have much affection for the demon race because of what he's been exposed to.

However, the old man in front of him is very strong and he came prepared. If he doesn't fight him in his true form, Xiao Mo might be in danger!

"Hooo!"

Bai Ruxue decided to transform into her true form as a white dragon and charge straight up.

She is not one to hesitate.

Although on ordinary days, Bai Ruxue still looks like the little girl from three thousand years ago.

But in reality, she only reveals that innocent side to one specific person.

Over the past three thousand years, she has experienced countless battles and is now the North Sea Dragon Lord, ruling over tens of thousands of miles of sea. She is a true demon emperor.

"What a vicious dragon from the Immortal Realm!"

Li Fengshan was startled when he saw the white dragon, which was 230 feet long.

He had killed many dragons, but he had never seen a white dragon like the one in front of him, which was so close to the legendary dragon.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party still retained some characteristics of a dragon, Li Fengshan would have even thought that the other party was a genuine dragon!

On the other side, Su Ren looked at the white dragon that blotted out the sky, and his body trembled incessantly.

A dragon's might, as heavy as a mountain, pressed down on Su Ren.

If it weren't for the magical artifact protecting him, Su Ren would have felt like he was suffocating.

Sitting on the beach, Xiao Mo was also deeply shocked. After so many years, this was the first time he had seen Ru Xue's true form, which was like that of a goddess.

"Such a domineering bloodline should be put to my use!" Li Fengshan waved his hand.

The heavy clouds transformed into pillars of heaven once more, attempting to bind Bai Ruxue.

Bai Ruxue charged wildly, smashing the cloud pillar, and then spat out a breath of dragon fire, which struck Li Fengshan's body directly.

After the dragon's breath subsided, Li Fengshan's body solidified again, and he threw out a golden fish basket.

The fish basket expanded rapidly, covering the snow-white area.

When Bai Ruxue was traveling along the river, she encountered a replica of the dragon-catching basket.

But this is not a counterfeit; it is a genuine celestial weapon!
