Cultivating Immortals in Two Realms, I Possessed the Primordial Thunder Vine

Chapter 200 Heavenly Yin True Man

After receiving the sacred seal of the Qilian Mountains God, Xu Changjun took root in this mountain range and became the Qilian Mountains God appointed by Heaven and Earth.

Over the course of nearly a century, Xu Changjun discovered the fundamental power of the Qilian Mountains, nurtured over millions of years.

This primordial power of the mountain marrow is the purest energy that a mountain range can nurture.

Xu Changjun became the mountain god of Qilian Mountain, and he was able to absorb these primordial forces to improve his own realm.

Within a century, he not only bridged the gap between his physical body and his cultivation level, but also elevated both to the mid-level of the Celestial Immortal realm. This greatly increased Xu Changjun's strength, making him more than ten times stronger than when he first entered Qilian Mountain.

While cultivating, Xu Changjun searched all over the Qilian Mountains, clearing away some places that blocked the mountain's direction, making the Qilian Mountains' potential for growth even stronger.

Within the mountains, various rare herbs and lingzhi mushrooms emerge in abundance, and in some places, mineral deposits are even formed.

The entire Qilian Mountains are becoming increasingly abundant, attracting numerous animals and mythical creatures to this area.

All of this is the result of the changes brought about by Xu Changjun after he became the mountain god of Qilian Mountain.

Of course, this change also brought back a considerable amount of primordial power for Xu Changjun.

Xu Changjun refined the Mountain God Seal nurtured by the mountain range, and his identity was recognized by heaven and earth. He was a powerful mountain god appointed by heaven and earth and had complete control over the entire Qilian Mountains.

As the Qilian Mountains became increasingly magnificent, their terrain improved, and this improvement benefited Xu Changjun.

Moreover, almost every fifty years, Xu Changjun would hold a sermon conference, mainly targeting the various wild and spiritual beasts that lived in the Qilian Mountains.

Every fifty years, a large number of wild and mythical beasts come to pay homage, making the entire Qilian Mountains exceptionally lively.

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name..."

"The Dao is the Dao of Heaven... which takes the form of humankind..."

On that day, atop the main peak of the Qilian Mountains, Xu Changjun sat cross-legged at the summit, the precious seal behind him gleaming with divine light, forming a huge phantom that shone upon him, giving him a majestic and solemn feeling.

As his voice echoed through the mountains, beasts lay there silently, listening to his sermon.

Here, you can see wolves and rabbits lying together, living in harmony.

On the other side, a cheetah lay prone beside a tiger, its eyes fixed intently on the mountains, listening intently.

During this great sermon, the entire Qilian Mountains fell silent, and all the wild animals gathered together to listen.

Although Xu Changjun was only a mid-level Celestial Immortal, and his understanding of the Great Dao was perhaps only superficial, it was clearly a blessing for these beasts whose scales and fur had not yet shed and who were bloodthirsty.

Suddenly, the sky changed color, and beams of divine light shone down.

Above the sky, blossoms drifted down, accompanied by celestial music. Colorful flowers fell from the sky and landed on the beasts.

Clearly, everything Xu Changjun did was recognized by Heaven and Earth. These flowers of the Great Dao scattered across the void were an unimaginable blessing for those beasts.

The falling petals landed on the animals, causing their fur to quietly shed.

Some of the demonic beasts that cultivated themselves actually stood up and walked on two legs, but their bestial nature had not completely subsided.

Even though it imitates people, it still looks somewhat incongruous and quite strange.

The great principles of heaven and earth are embodied in human form!

All the beasts in the world desire to be completely transformed into human form, to become like humans.

Of course, this requires the support of certain techniques, but these ferocious beasts and demonic creatures are all wild animals, so there is no lineage to speak of.

Therefore, Xu Changyun's preaching was undoubtedly a great blessing to them.

A moment later, the ceiling lights above disappeared, and Xu Changjun opened his eyes and stood up.

"This sermon is now concluded!"

Instantly, all the beasts that were lying prostrate on the ground knelt down and bowed to Xu Changjun on the cliff.

As a preacher, Xu Changjun accepted the challenge without hesitation.

At that moment, a voice came from the Mountain God Seal behind him, and the Xuanhuang Qi rose up, enveloping his body.

"This is the power of merit; it has an extremely strong effect on the cultivation of any technique or advancement!"

While it may seem like a sermon, Xu Changjun also gained a great deal from it.

For him, this influx of merit was nothing short of an opportunity.

Looking down at the beasts that were gradually transforming into human form, Xu Changjun's eyes revealed a look of satisfaction.

As the mountain god, all beasts are under his jurisdiction, and can be considered his subordinates in a certain sense.

Therefore, seeing his subordinates' strength continuously improve also had a significant effect on Xu Changjun's management of the entire mountain range.

After the sermon, Xu Changjun returned to his mansion in the mountains.

As the mountain god of Qilian Mountain, Xu Changjun opened a cave in the middle of the mountain.

This place is close to the mountain's dragon vein, and this cave contains a very rich spiritual energy from the earth's veins.

Xu Changjun usually cultivates in this cave.

The rich ley lines provide enough spiritual energy for its consumption.

Amidst a misty aura of spiritual energy, he slowly entered a period of seclusion.

……

The sun and moon alternate, and the universe revolves.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the Qilian Mountains flourished under the rule of the mountain god Xu Changjun.

Whoosh!

In the distance, a dark cloud surged on the horizon, its howling carrying a terrifying aura. It was as if grotesque skeletons lurked within the cloud, constantly roaring.

Wherever this dark cloud passed, the roars of beasts and the chirping of birds instantly turned into deathly silence.

Screams echoed continuously from within the dark clouds.

It is obvious that the one manipulating this dark cloud is not an ordinary cultivator, but an evil demonic cultivator.

Compared to ordinary cultivators who absorb spiritual energy and improve themselves through cultivation methods, demonic cultivators use evil methods to extract the flesh, bones, and even souls of their prey to strengthen themselves and gain immense power.

Compared to the steady but slow cultivation methods, the demonic path increases strength at an extremely fast speed by devouring the flesh, bones, and souls of its prey, allowing for rapid progress.

Of course, such unfounded methods can sometimes cause huge backlash, and the resulting impact can plunge demonic cultivators into an abyss of no return.

Not only are there demonic cultivators in the cultivation world, but there are also many vicious demonic cultivators in the prehistoric world, and these demonic cultivators are undoubtedly more evil and powerful.

"Huh? Such a strong smell of flesh and blood!"

The dark cloud continued forward, plundering the forests of mountain ranges.

Suddenly, the dark clouds stopped and transformed into an old man dressed in black. The old man's face was full of wrinkles, and he looked as withered as a piece of twig.

He held a demon banner in his hand.

On the pitch-black banner, skulls roared incessantly, and ghosts struggled within it, trying to break free.

The old man held a snow-white banner pole, which was translucent and pure white. In fact, it was made entirely of bones.

To forge it to such a degree, the materials needed would come from thousands upon thousands of living beings.

This person is a Daoist of Heavenly Dao, originally a demonic cultivator. Furthermore, his purpose in coming here is to perform a blood sacrifice for the Soul-Capturing Banner.

In order to forge it into a top-grade magical artifact, he traveled thousands of miles alone, aiming to absorb the flesh and soul of all living beings in order to forge the Soul-Capturing Banner.

However, the Heavenly Yin True Man was very dissatisfied along the way. The flesh and soul that the living beings he passed could provide were of too low a level to achieve the purpose of blood sacrifice.

"Do we have to go back to the human settlements again?! But there are cultivators everywhere there, and the ancestral temple provides protection; I might lose my life if I'm not careful!"

Just as the people of Tianyin were hesitating about whether to change their destination.

Suddenly, a surge of blood-red energy erupted from a distant mountain range.

The surging blood energy stood tall like a blast furnace, noticeable even from afar.

"Could it be that I've discovered a treasure trove!"

Even though Master Tianyin had seen human settlements teeming with blood and qi, they were nothing compared to the blood and qi emanating from this mountain range before him.

Clearly, this mountain range holds immense potential.

"It must be due to the terrain!"

Although Master Tianyin could see that this mountain range was a treasure trove, he dared not rush into it lightly.

After all, such overwhelming bloodlust must conceal some kind of secret. If an unparalleled powerhouse were hidden within the mountains, it would likely be a catastrophic disaster for him.

Because he was able to suppress his desires, he lived the longest among all the demonic cultivators of his time.

Looking up at the Qilian Mountains from the sky, he seemed to see that the mountain range resembled a coiled dragon.

Not only that, he also swept the entire mountain range with his powerful spiritual energy, but found no powerful aura.

"This seems to be a truly untapped treasure trove, perfect for a blood sacrifice to the Soul-Capturing Banner!"

Master Tianyin investigated for a while but found nothing unusual. Finally, he felt relieved and prepared to take action.

"go!"

In mid-air, Master Tianyin made a hand seal, and in an instant, the Soul-Capturing Banner transformed into a cloud of pitch-black mist. Under his guidance, it roared towards the distant mountains.

The numerous beasts that were cultivating were instantly shrouded in dark clouds.

Countless ghosts and spirits burst forth from within, tearing at the flesh and souls of their surrounded prey. In an instant, one after another, well-cultivated beasts were sucked into the Soul-Capturing Banner.

In a short while, dozens of beasts disappeared into the Soul-Capturing Banner.

"well!"

Master Tianyin personally felt the surge of blood energy within the Soul-Seizing Banner. In just one session, the power within the Soul-Seizing Banner increased by more than ten percent.

"What if it devoured the entire mountain range!"

Master Tianyin couldn't help but imagine that if the entire mountain range were devoured, the Soul-Seizing Banner would likely be able to raise the level by more than one rank.

Without a doubt, the souls and flesh of the creatures in this mountain range are incredibly powerful, far surpassing ordinary beasts, and belong to beings who have achieved success in cultivation.

boom!

However, before the people of Tianyin could implement this plan, suddenly, a high mountain in the mountains exploded.

Then, a divine light shot into the sky, followed by an overwhelming force that covered the mountain range.

Immediately afterwards, a roar echoed throughout the entire mountain range.

"What kind of monster dares to hunt down the creatures of my Qilian Mountains?"

During his previous seclusion, Xu Changjun felt a surge of palpitations, as if something terrible was about to happen.

He immediately broke out of his seclusion and woke up.

He directly surveyed the entire mountain range with the authority of the mountain god, instantly sensing everything that was happening.

The scene he saw filled him with rage. He never imagined that there would be demonic cultivators who dared to hunt down the creatures he had nurtured.

An angry roar echoed across the sky, and then he held the Mountain God Seal in his hand, pointing his right hand to the sky, and a silver bolt of lightning descended from the heavens.

Under his guidance, they launched an attack on the Heavenly Daoist.

Its speed was so fast that it surpassed the speed of thought; even Tianyin Daoren didn't have time to speak before being struck by this silver lightning.

"Damn, that hurts!"

Xu Changjun acted with lightning speed, and without even exchanging a word with his opponent, he triggered a thunderbolt.

"You killed my disciples, I'll chop you down with my sword!"

Accompanied by Xu Changjun's roar, bolts of lightning, guided by him, fell from the sky like a night rain, constantly striking Tianyin Zhenren's body.

Demonic cultivation is inherently a sinister method, defying the will of heaven, and the resulting lightning strikes are extremely dangerous to them.

Even the most virtuous people under the heavens screamed in agony under the continuous thunder, their life force steadily declining.

"Fellow Daoist, please stop! I'm willing to compensate you!"

Amidst a devastating lightning strike, Master Tianyin cried out loudly.

However, Xu Changjun paid no attention to his shouts and continued to guide the lightning, which struck down from the sky.

"Damn it, he's trying to kill me!"

While Tianyin Zhenren was resisting the falling lightning, he was secretly anxious.

He even went so far as to recall the Soul-Capturing Banner, which was not yet fully formed, and release the vengeful spirits contained within it.

Unfortunately, his devised countermeasures were completely ineffective against the heavenly lightning, turning into nothingness and disappearing without a trace under the silver lightning.

"Is this really a fight to the death?!"

Master Tianyin was clearly also annoyed by the continuous lightning strikes and shouted angrily.

"You're not qualified to fight to the death!"

Xu Changjun guided the lightning attack while simultaneously making hand gestures with his fingers.

But the dark clouds above the Heavenly Yin Man's head grew increasingly gloomy, with purple lightning spreading, undoubtedly gathering strength.

The purple lightning pressing down on his head made Tianyin Zhenren's heart pound with fear, causing his mind to tremble and him to loudly beg for mercy.

"I'd give up everything, just let me go!"

Clearly, Xu Changjun paid no attention to the prayers of the Yin Immortal; instead, his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Keep your things, you can use them in your next life!"

In an instant, Master Tianyin felt a terrifying pressure descend upon him, as if he had been locked in place by some kind of horrific attack and was unable to move.

His expression changed drastically in an instant, and he was about to speak when Xu Changjun interrupted him.

"Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, annihilate the demon!"

Suddenly, a burst of purple light shot out from the dark clouds, its terrifying force shattering the thick cloud layer and exploding.

In an instant, the Heavenly Daoist was swallowed by the purple light, leaving behind a pitch-black space.
