Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 168 Creating a Lightning Disaster

The Li character has already been seen through by Shuangyun Mansion.

Even if the Demon Lord of the Azure Sea is stronger than the Demon Lord of the Moon Stream, and could try to conceal his aura again, his location has already been exposed, so such a self-deceptive act is not very meaningful.

With the combined efforts of hundreds of demon generals, the demon people covering the mountains and plains quickly retreated along the originally planned route.

"This isn't the direction to Dragon's Spine. Where do you plan to settle these people?"

The Azure Sea Demon Lord held a piece of white jade and looked ahead with some confusion.

She was also very curious. Even if not every demon lord had the habit of raising demon subjects, and there were many who preferred to go it alone, it certainly did not include Yuan Yuan Demon King's old subordinates.

Jinhe and Shiyi, among other predecessors, all carried the will of the Demon King, attempting to create a pure land.

All these seniors have come to Shuangyun Prefecture, so what should be done with their demon soldiers and demon civilians?

"Dragon Spine is too dangerous—at least that's what we all thought before."

The Moon Stream Demon Lord first looked up at the solitary demon-armored figure sitting atop the peak, and explained softly, "Everyone is somewhat dissatisfied with the orders issued by the Pure Heart Demon King."

"We have always felt that even if we want to avenge the Demon King Yuanyuan, we should not involve the innocent."

"The demon soldiers, demon civilians, and even demon generals are simply powerless to withstand the aftermath of this."

Capturing a border pass sounds quite inspiring.

In reality, it has absolutely no effect.

This is equivalent to bringing together all the demons hiding in the Nine Prefectures and One Pass and exposing them to the public eye.

."

Upon hearing this, the Azure Sea Demon Lord lowered his eyes slightly.

She had the same thought, but she just didn't dare to say it.

After a moment, she said softly, "But now that it's a done deal, there seems to be no turning back."

Does this mean that at this point, the three demon lords should be forced to relinquish Yongzhou Pass, allowing the demons to retreat back to the mountains and forests, while the immortal sects act as if nothing happened?

"I don't really understand these things."

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...

Moon Creek Demon Lord smiled shyly. She had just broken through to the Golden Core stage, and any other demon lord was her senior.

She carefully chose her words and replied, "In the eyes of other seniors, they would prefer to calm the situation down. At least in Yongzhou today, only Yu Jingzhe truly cares about this matter."

The Yu family is in charge of literature, while the Qi family is in charge of martial arts.

Logically speaking, since some areas of Yongzhou were breached by demons, the Qi family should be held truly responsible.

However, Yongzhou Pass has always been controlled by the Yu family.

With each day it falls, the mountain god's family loses more face.

The dispute over incense offerings is a genuinely good thing for those silver-eyed white wolf immortals.

The Qi family members would at most shout slogans, but they were unwilling to actually help or put in any effort.

On the other hand, this matter is indeed quite important for the Yu family.

Even though they come from the same family, the two prodigies still have their own rivalries and are trying to determine who is stronger.

"According to Senior Jinhe, Yu Jingzhe has mastered a method to break through the bloodline shackles by using the power of incense and vows, thereby stepping into the Nascent Soul realm."

"Originally it was just the border falling, but now the situation is subtly turning into the extermination of the Nine Prefectures Demons. He must be the one stirring things up."

Longjizhang was just a fire, but Yu Jingzhe wanted to seize the opportunity to let it burn throughout the entire Yongzhou.

Yuexi took a deep breath: "As long as we keep him in Shuangyun Prefecture and get the remaining demon soldiers and demon civilians to retreat to Qingyuan Treasure Land, and we restrain ourselves for a while longer, the storm will pass quickly."

"The Qi family's prodigy can't just stand by and watch him take that first step, and the Yu family's mountain god certainly won't let him squander his incense offerings. If it drags on for too long, he'll definitely become displeased."

This is the importance of inheritance.

Yuexi was just a newly promoted demon lord, but by following Jinhe and his group, she was already associated with Yuanyuan's lineage.

She knew far more than her predecessor, the Azure Sea Demon Lord.

"Why would the mountain god have a problem with him?" The cold and beautiful woman turned around in surprise.

Normally speaking, as a half-life immortal of the Yu family, shouldn't the stronger the younger generation of the clan be to the mountain god?

"Think about it carefully. The Yu family suffered a defeat at the border, which caused them to lose face. This affected the incense offerings of the mountain god. Instead of sending people to recover the border quickly, Yu Jingzhe delayed and secretly helped the matter escalate."

The Moon Stream Demon Lord said softly, "They're trying to take advantage of this for personal gain."

The two immortals, the Night Wanderer and the Mountain God, are stationed in Yongzhou, their purpose being to ensure the prosperity of countless households.

Yu Jingzhe wanted to create a chaotic world to facilitate his own advancement to a higher realm, but this only harmed the interests of his own immortals.

"Why didn't the mountain god stop him?" The Azure Sea Demon Lord was even more puzzled.

No matter how talented one may be, one is still a junior in front of the mountain god, so how could one dare to disobey the immortal's decree?

"Because of Young Master Qi."

Moon Creek Demon Lord sighed softly: "In the previous generation, Young Master Qi's sudden emergence made the Yu family unable to raise their heads, and also made the incense offerings of Silver-Eyed White Wolf Immortal extremely prosperous, while the Mountain God gradually declined. Later, I don't know what method was used to support Yu Tongxuan, who barely managed to hold up the situation."

"If you want to turn your life around, you naturally have to make some progress in this generation."

"Therefore, the mountain god can tolerate Yu Jingzhe's overstepping of boundaries to some extent, provided that he does not delay for too long."

You can stir up trouble from behind, but you also need to have the ability to put it out.

Otherwise, wouldn't that truly be ruining one's own family line?

"I see."

The Azure Sea Demon Lord nodded in sudden realization: "So as long as we keep dragging this out, the Qi and Yu families will naturally step in to stop this turmoil."

This plan sounds much more reliable than taking Yongzhou Pass, then gradually encroaching on the land of the Nine Prefectures, and finally occupying a piece of demon territory.

No wonder the demon lords moved the people to the Pure Land of Treasure.

This place is quite famous in Yongzhou.

Its master is Ruoshui Demon Lord.

This demon lord has a rule: he only accepts demon people, and he has no demon generals or even demon soldiers under his command.

Any lesser demon who embarks on the path of cultivation is forbidden from entering the Pure Source Treasure Land.

Therefore, as long as this demon lord can control her own problems, she has no need to provoke the immortal descendants to obtain any resources.

Even without taking any action, the Demon Slayer Division still showed her enough respect, placing her at the top of the list of demon lords in Yongzhou.

This is enough to show how profound her cultivation level is.

"However, this doesn't seem like the personality of Lord Jinhe." Lord Bihai sighed and withdrew his gaze.

According to legend, the most valuable thing that the Demon King Yuanyuan gave to his former subordinates was not the Bagua Dragon-Locking Plate, but two other items.

It embodies the benevolence to help all under heaven, and the courage to forge ahead.

In the past, how could they have chosen such a stifling method, entrusting their lives to the whims of the immortals?

""

This time, the Moon Stream Demon Lord merely smiled and did not reply.

The courage in the hearts of the demons had long since shattered with the disappearance of the Demon King Yuanyuan, but fortunately, their sense of benevolence and righteousness remained.

Moreover, even though Yongzhou has become like this, that lord still hasn't appeared.

Although no one dared to speak out, they all secretly had the same answer.

The Demon King Yuanyuan may have truly perished.

The other demon king, Su Xin, is nowhere to be found, and Ruo Shui, who most resembles a prodigy of the immortal sects, remains secluded.

The demons of Yongzhou have lost their leader.

The dragon spine that could gather all demons is missing!

"call."

At the summit of Lonely Mountain, Lin Shu let out a soft breath.

He was not deliberately eavesdropping on other people's conversations.

But this is deep in the mountains and forests, and with the supernatural ability to ride the wind and patrol the mountains, the gentle breezes that caress the forests will naturally carry all the information to his ears.

So that's what happened.

When Lin Shu first arrived in Anren Prefecture, she felt something was strange.

Even if the fall of Yongzhou is extremely rare, it shouldn't be enough to elevate three demon lords with unknown backgrounds to the top of the list.

This is not a panic among the public caused for no reason.

As a result, some people were afraid that the Nine Palaces were not chaotic enough, and felt that the three of them were not important enough, so they gave them a push from behind.

They wanted to exaggerate the fall of the border into a demonic attempt to seize the entire Yongzhou.

"So, the mountain god doesn't actually care much about Dragon Ridge."

Lin Shu muttered to herself.

The half-life immortals need incense offerings, but there are hardly any common people on the border; most of them are immortal descendants and laborers from various families.

When a life-or-death feud is transformed into a transaction and a calculation, the concept changes completely.

He once told Yu Sheng that the two of them should be able to own a piece of land that wasn't too big.

As long as the Yu family mountain god discovers that the price to pay for retaking Yongzhou Pass far exceeds this loss of face, he will naturally refuse to do anything more.

"If I can break through to the Nascent Soul stage, that should be enough, right?"

Lin Shu wasn't crazy enough to be like the Demon King Yuan Yuan, insisting on confronting that immortal immortal.

He just wanted a place to settle down.

"Come."

With a slight thought, a vast amount of merit and demerit appeared before his eyes.

As usual, the evil silver was first thrown into the jade-boned golden lion.

Although he had already seen that the upper limit of this body tempering method was only at the Golden Core stage, it was still the most effective way for him to improve his strength at present.

The fifty thousand taels of silver turned into black light and merged into it.

This time, Lin Shu no longer felt the discomfort and pain she had experienced before; everything felt perfectly harmonious.

It was as if it had filled in the last gap in this almost flawless body.

At this point, there was nothing left to criticize about the Demon Lion Prison Body, which also meant that it could no longer be improved or perfected.

[Golden Core Grade One. Demon Lion Prison Suppressing Body: Perfected]

Lin Shu finally reached the limit of the Golden Core Realm with his physical body.

He felt the roar within his body, every drop of blood and energy tightly contained within his body, without any leakage.

"Where should we go next?"

On Lin Shu's fair and handsome face, satisfaction first welled up in his clear eyes, followed by a hint of confusion.

There are still a little over 20,000 silver coins left, which need to be saved to help the Filthy Moon Wolf Lord restore his magic power.

With just this body tempering technique and those pseudo-spiritual treasures, such meager methods seem insufficient to defeat Yu Jingzhe.

Oh, and there's also the Azure Phoenix that releases from peril.

Lin Shu suddenly remembered that although he could not improve much even if he poured in good deeds before he obtained the Nine Revolutions Purple Cloud Golden Elixir, he could enter the late stage of the Golden Elixir realm by using good deeds after Qingluan devoured Yu Dongjun's soul.

"Master Lin, I'm hungry."

The fool climbed up the mountain and handed over a storage bag.

Inside were dried meat strips prepared for him by Lao Yang and Jin Gui. Unfortunately, he didn't have a trace of spiritual power, so even something as simple as opening the storage bag required help from others.

In front of men, what other person would have the face to call themselves a body cultivator?

This is truly going down one path to the very end.

Logically speaking, someone who only cultivates physical strength and doesn't practice internal cultivation should be easy to recognize.

Lin Shu also inquired with Bi Hai, but looking across Yongzhou, going back several hundred years, there had never been such a person.

There are countless experts who excel in physical cultivation.

To say nothing of the distant past, the Demon King Yuanyuan was a master of this art, and he also met the conditions for being seriously injured and hiding.

But this great demon king is more famous for his demonic power, which is said to be awe-inspiring throughout the nine kingdoms, than for his physical physique.

Moreover, the rumored man was said to be tall and handsome, a far cry from the ugly, thin man in front of him who showed no signs of magical cultivation.

The idiot looks like he sprang from a rock.

If we want to understand his background, we probably have to start with that little treasure.

"Here you are."

Lin Shu took out a few strips of dried meat from her storage bag and then hung the bag back around the other person's waist: "Keep an eye on this place for me, I have something to do."

"Okay!" The fool chuckled and sat down on the lonely peak.

He chewed the dried meat with gusto, staring wide-eyed at the densely packed figures below.

As if touched by the scene, he suddenly felt a little sad, but he didn't know where this emotion came from.

Scattered and chaotic memories, along with a surging sense of powerlessness, seemed to be threatening to overwhelm him.

"Lin, Master Lin!"

The fool instinctively reached out and grabbed the arm guard of the person next to him.

Lin Shu paused, looking at the childlike timidity on that ugly face, which gave her a rather eerie feeling.

After a moment, he chuckled helplessly, reached out and rubbed the back of the other person's head, and said calmly, "It's okay, I'm here. Just call me if you encounter any trouble."

It's really difficult for someone who's just quietly sweeping the floor at the academy to suddenly be expected to fight to the death with you.

After understanding what happened, we need to find a way to avenge the fool and see if we can restore his memory.

The fool didn't speak, and under the soothing touch of that hand, his emotions gradually calmed down.

He smiled sheepishly and nodded vigorously.

""

Lin Shu withdrew her hand and did not go too far. Instead, she transformed into a gentle breeze and arrived at a quiet streamside.

He had already reached the peak of Core Formation on his way out of Dragon Ridge, and it was time for him to try to achieve the Golden Core stage.

He first sat cross-legged on a clean stone slab, and then began to calm his mind.

Nowadays, good deeds are no longer an issue.

The sixth tempering of the Niwan (a type of elixir) only requires three thousand taels of silver. Even if the price is increased three to five times, or even ten times, he can afford it.

The real problem is that he has no idea how to create a calamity.

Moreover, according to Qian Yiru, the other party had only heard of it; no one in the entire Yongzhou had ever tried this route, so there was really no way to learn from it.

"Let's give it a try."

Lin Shurang's breathing became increasingly steady.

He first summoned Qingbian and the Filthy Moon Wolf Lord to ensure that if anything unexpected happened to his body, he could borrow their techniques as quickly as possible to activate his nourishing spiritual root.

The next moment, he opened his palm, and amidst a crackling sound, deep blue-black lightning condensed at his fingertips.

After being nourished by the essence of karmic fire, the Netherworld Thunder has already attained the level of a half-life immortal.

Lin Shu did not release the lightning magic externally, but carefully controlled it to seep into her skin.

"hiss!"

His face suddenly tightened.

The extremely cold thunder slurry surged into his body, even his powerful physique could not withstand it.

The immense power of blood and qi quickly enveloped it, sending the Netherworld True Lightning to the Mountain and Sea Immortal Thoughts. Passing through the strange phenomenon of controlling the stars, it arrived next to the mud pill that was already covered with six patterns.

The items are ready; the rest is up to Shan Yin to deduce.

The pile of silver ingots gleaming with jade-like light around Lin Shu suddenly shook violently, transforming into a vast, snow-white ocean that surged into the body of the Azure Phoenix.

As the Dao Essence Crimson Sea surged and churned, the wisp of thunderous magma suddenly exploded, spreading into an indescribable, piercing light that enveloped the entire Niwan (a point on the head).

"Where is this?"

Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, and the lush mountains and streams that were originally around her disappeared.

He looked up at the hazy yellow space; apart from the swirling air currents, there was nothing there.

Is this the inside of the Niwan (mud ball)?

No, why would he need to personally perform the ritual?

Perhaps it was because he had been tempered for too long, but Lin Shu had become accustomed to sitting inside the painting and observing the lion in the painting enduring all kinds of torment. Even though he could feel the same way, he always knew that he was outside the painting.

He wasn't given much time to think.

Outside the hazy yellow sky, a terrifying roar suddenly resounded, accompanied by countless dark shadows resembling long snakes.

Lin Shu instinctively wanted to unleash his blood and qi to activate his spiritual root.

But there was no movement at all.

Inside the Niwan (a point on the body), he felt as if he had been stripped naked, losing all his means of support.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunder suddenly struck, first in a few scattered bursts, then like a torrential downpour covering the sky.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Shu was overwhelmed by a tingling electric current and a dense chill.

What's terrifying about the embankment is that the lightning didn't actually strike him; it was all blocked by the dark yellow sky.

Yu Bo alone made his consciousness somewhat blurred.

With each lightning strike, six Dao patterns gradually emerged, forming an unbreakable barrier that firmly held up this space.

Lin Shu collapsed to the ground, limp and powerless, unable to do anything but stare blankly upwards.

He couldn't possibly have such power with his own seventh-grade Golden Core thunder magic alone; it was clearly aided by the blessing of the silver.

I paid money—and you want to beat me up?

At this moment, Lin Shu's eyelids twitched twice.

The relentless thunderstorms washed over the land, and the excruciating pain instantly dispelled all his worries.

Fortunately, the six Dao patterns were more stable than he had imagined.

No, to be precise, it should be said that with the help of Shan Yin, Lin Shu's path from the Qi Refining stage to the late Core Formation stage has been perfect.

"Do you even understand the true value of a flawless Dao foundation?"

Do you know what "御星斗" (Yuxingdou) means?

Lin Shu's confidence soared. Since he couldn't resist, he simply adjusted to a more comfortable position and lay down, enjoying the excruciating pain.

The things he mentioned, even for an ordinary cultivator, would be something to be proud of.

For a peerless genius like himself, how could a mere tribulation of lightning shake the mud he had personally forged?

A crack suddenly appeared in the hazy yellow sky.

Lin Shu trembled slightly and quickly stopped babbling.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly noticed that a seventh dark blue-black lightning pattern had faintly appeared on the six patterns, and the deafening roars gradually subsided.

"Is the flavor good? It looks a bit bland."

As the surroundings became quiet again, Lin Shu felt her consciousness about to be pulled out of this space.

He keenly sensed something was wrong; the seventh Dao pattern was significantly more blurred than the sixth, like a half-finished product.

"Only ten thousand taels of silver?"

Based on the previous situation, the seventh tempering cost over 10,000 silver coins, which was already quite a lot, more than three times the amount.

Even though the Azure Phoenix had already reached the threshold of the late Golden Core stage and had been stuck there for a long time, this amount of good deeds was still not enough to help it take that first step beyond the dam.

"Don't stop, keep going."

Perhaps influenced by Shan Yin's obsessive-compulsive disorder, Lin Shu felt that since even the Nine-Turn Purple Heaven Golden Pill had changed, it was naturally unacceptable that it still had flaws.

Just as he was being expelled from this space, he manipulated his body slightly, flipping his palm, and another bolt of Netherworld True Lightning flowed into his body.

The silver continued to be poured in as if it were free.

Just as Lin Shu's body floated up, it thudded back into the hazy yellow space.

"Oh no, I think I used too much force."

His expression faltered slightly as he stared at the thunderclouds that gradually gathered and accumulated, until they dyed the sky in inky black.

The next moment, a thunderous roar that nearly pierced eardrums instantly enveloped the space!

Boom! Boom!

As if punishing those who were disrespectful, this lightning strike was both fierce and sudden.

Occasionally, those that managed to break through the yellow mist would slam into the young man, sending him flying as he scrambled away.

After an unknown period of time, the changes in the Buddhas finally ceased.

The seventh lightning pattern had become so dense and dark it seemed to drip with moisture.

""

The figure by the stream slowly opened its eyes.

Before he could even focus his mind on introspection, he plunged headfirst into the stream with a splash.

His powerful physique and abundant blood and qi could provide him with endless energy, but they could not compensate for his mental exhaustion and fatigue.

Lin Shu lay quietly in the stream, letting the water flow over her body.

Above him was the enormous phantom of a blue phoenix, visible only to him, soaring through the air, its light and melodious cry echoing all around.

The 0 taels of silver not only completed the seventh tempering of the Niwan point, but also helped the Azure Phoenix of Calamity advance to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

In addition, there were unexpected gains.

Lin Shu's gaze was unfocused. He had not only witnessed lightning twice, but had also personally experienced the lightning strike from the unknown Buddha Shaodao.

Ordinary cultivators would never have such a rare opportunity.

These insights were not wasted; instead, they were all engraved on the patterns on the Niwan point and transformed into a part of the Netherworld True Thunder technique.

[Golden Core Grade 3. Netherworld True Thunder: Perfection]

He jumped directly from the lower three ranks to the upper three ranks, saving at least seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver!

"You can do that?"

Lin Shu struggled to sit up from the water.

Thinking about it, that makes sense. How could Qiu have gained nothing, even though he created Ling himself?

Does this mean there are two more opportunities to seize the chance?

He still had nearly 70,000 taels of silver left, and he needed to get his hands on either the Fire Magic or the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl as soon as possible.
