Starting with warding off evil and disaster, one can ascend to immortality after countless tribulati

After returning to the Limo clan, Barre revealed part of the truth.

The group of demon cultivators were all somewhat incredulous.

The clan chief is dead, Batu has disappeared, and the previous news of the occupation of Xian Shu was a deliberate illusion created by the enemy.

"Impossible! Barre, you must be talking nonsense. We all know the strength of the clan leader. He is the strongest warrior of the Power Demon Clan. How could he possibly have perished at the Immortal Pivot?"

"No, the ancient demons can be resurrected. Why don't we go to the altar to resurrect our chieftain and then go back to fight them?"

"At that time, with the strength of our Demon Clan, completely subduing the Immortal Pivot shouldn't be too difficult."

"Bare, you've stopped being a traitor, so why is it that Batu, Bach, and the Ba men and women haven't returned, but you're the only one who came back safely!"

……

The questioning from his tribesmen caused Bare's expression to change slightly. He immediately put on a look of grief, putting on a very convincing performance. "You have really misunderstood me too much. I am also very saddened by the death of the chieftain, but it's no use."

The opponent has Batu under control, and there are six Golden Core cultivators stationed there as well.

Our Demon Clan would have been restricted by the Celestial Pivot in the past, and our strength would have been reduced by at least half. Moreover, we didn't know at first that Batu had already been controlled.

He launched a surprise attack on Bach, after which the six True Lords joined forces to kill the clan leader.

The chieftain covered my return to deliver a message, yet you all doubt me like this…”

With a face full of sorrow, Barre's skillful acting instantly silenced everyone present. If everything was as Barre said, then it was indeed reasonable.

"Enough. We don't want to hear the details anymore. Once the clan leader is resurrected and the truth comes out, we will give you justice..."

Waving his hand dismissively, Bare patiently explained, "Resurrecting the clan chief is probably impossible. You should know that Batu being controlled is tantamount to the complete exposure of the secrets of the Power Demon clan."

To prevent the great Bach from being resurrected, they refined Bach, and now Batu is even more powerful.

With the addition of the six True Monarchs of Immortal Pivot, a counterattack on Immortal Pivot is impossible. If things go wrong, they might even come to kill us...

"..."

Upon hearing this, the ancient demons all fell into deep silence. The current situation was extremely unfavorable to the Power Demon Clan.

The fact that Bach could not be resurrected is undoubtedly a fatal blow to a race. The long-awaited Ancient Demon Grand Tournament will likely end in defeat without any suspense.

"My strength is almost at the late stage. If no one has any objections, I will temporarily assume the role of patriarch of the Power Demon Clan."

In the coming days, we need to temporarily set aside our hatred and strive to help the Power Demon race escape its bottom ranking among the Ancient Demon races as soon as possible.

If Bach were alive, he would surely be happy to see this.

So, what do you all think?

Don't worry, just say whatever you want to say, I won't hold a grudge.

"I think you're not suitable for the position of clan leader, Bare."

You are a person of exceptional wisdom, but precisely because of this, you also lack mastery of the ancient demon race's supernatural powers.

You've probably only scratched the surface of our Power Demon Clan's true abilities; your strength is insufficient to support the Power Demon Clan.

Let me handle this; you step back and continue to act as the strategist.

"Of course, if you can defeat me, then I will acknowledge your strength and naturally accept you as the clan leader..."

After a long silence, a smile flashed across Barre's face.

Without refusing, he nodded straightforwardly, agreeing to the other party's request, "Come on, I'm willing to compete with you."

As one of the strongest members of the Power Demon clan, I trust your reputation. I hope this battle won't affect the harmony between us...

……

Seeing that Barre did not refuse, a commotion immediately broke out among the crowd. In everyone's impression, Barre was indeed not very good at fighting. In the Power Demon Clan, although his cultivation was high enough, he was often no match for other experts when it came to fighting.

But now, his challenger is Baxing, the second-best fighter in the tribe after the Bach brothers.

Logically speaking, he should be the first in line to become the clan leader.

That's why he took the initiative to question Barre. After all, if Barre hadn't volunteered, the position of chieftain would have been his without a doubt.

He has already regarded the position of clan leader as his own exclusive right, and naturally he will not allow anyone else to covet it.

"Barre, you're too weak. I'll give you three moves, that way it won't be considered bullying you..." With a hearty laugh, Ba Xing clearly didn't take Barre seriously.

This is exactly the effect Barre wanted.

He nodded, showing no arrogance whatsoever, stepped forward, and threw a powerful punch.

He bent over, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Ba Xing slid to his knees, a look of sorrow and deep disbelief flashing in his eyes.

"Why? Why has your combat skill suddenly increased so much?"

Although he had a terrible suspicion in his mind, he had no evidence and dared not speak recklessly.

After all, he, as the person involved, knew best the power of that punch.

This is almost the same strength as the clan chief back then.

The clan chief was probably killed by Barre...

Although he had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on, he had no choice but to shake his head and sincerely admit defeat in the face of the overwhelming odds.

"Barre, your strength has increased a lot. I am not as good as you."

The position of clan leader should be yours, but you must promise the clan members one thing: you must help the Power Demon clan escape its last-place ranking.

In addition, he also wanted to take revenge on the Immortal Pivot…

Revenge? Revenge my ass!

That idiot Bach deserves my revenge...

After a moment of indignant laughter, Barre remained outwardly calm. "You're absolutely right. However, given the extraordinary circumstances, we must put this matter aside for now. Revenge against the Immortal Pivot is essential, but for now, in order to stabilize the Power Demon Clan, we must first feign weakness. In my experience, we might as well give them half of the clan's treasures."

This way, we can also demonstrate our sincerity.

Meanwhile, our Demon Clan is secretly developing its strength. Having defeated the other ancient demon clans, our resources will surely increase dramatically...

As soon as Barre finished speaking, the tribesmen fell silent. However, the intelligence level of the Power Demon tribe was not high, and few people were able to discover the problem.

The few who did discover the problem were also intimidated by Barre's strength and dared not reveal the truth...

The world of the Limo clan is now dominated by Bare.

Right and wrong, it's all just a matter of his words.

With a sigh, the clansmen dispersed, and Barre silently entered the ancient demon clan's treasure vault, a place reserved for the clan chief.

They selected some treasures, intending to give them to Jiang Ming.

Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. As the most intelligent member of the Power Demon clan, he has already grasped the current situation.

Several Nascent Soul cultivators had made arrangements with Jiang Ming.

This means that Jiang Ming will most likely become a Nascent Soul cultivator in the future. As a pawn of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he will certainly receive a lot of benefits.

The current contribution of resources is merely for greater returns in the future.

Upon arriving at the Immortal Pivot, Barre offered up the treasures he had brought. His face was full of sincerity as he earnestly explained the uses of each treasure. At the same time, Jiang Ming listened calmly to Barre's ideas, occasionally offering a few pointers.

"Fellow Daoist, are you confident enough that the Demon Clan can win this time?"

Barre shook his head, gave a bitter smile, and looked somewhat bewildered. "To be honest, the chances of winning aren't great."

The other ancient demon clans are far stronger than the Power Demon clan. I have no way to defeat them. This time, the Power Demon clan will most likely be at the bottom again. The expectations of the clansmen are not commensurate with their strength. Even Bach couldn't have done this.

"What if the other ancient demon races lose a few experts in their breakthroughs? Could you take the lead and increase the power of the Demon race as much as possible...?"

Upon hearing Jiang Ming's hint, Barre immediately understood.

After a moment of thought, he revealed a look of understanding. "Fellow Daoist is willing to help? The Ancient Demon Competition is probably still ten years away. In ten years, my strength will not improve much."

Among the previous clans, there were powerful individuals at the Golden Core Perfection level. If you wish to help, fellow Daoist, you should strive to become a Perfection level expert yourself; this is no easy task.

"Perfection is just one step away, so you don't need to worry about it. Just come see me ten years from now, before the Ancient Demon Grand Competition begins..." he calmly replied.

Jiang Ming accepted the treasure given to him by Bare, but for a moment he was a little unsure whether a human cultivator could refine such a sinister treasure.

In the Immortal Pivot, there are currently no cultivators of the same level to communicate with. After much thought, Jiang Ming decided to visit Murong Xue in the Sword Spirit Realm.

As a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, he now possessed the ability to teleport in the void. Furthermore, Murong Xue had left him the coordinates of the Sword Spirit Realm before she left, so going to visit her wasn't a difficult task.

With a wave of his hand, he tore through space using the laws of the Great Dao.

Jiang Ming plunged into the turbulent currents, gazing at the vast and boundless天地 (heaven and earth). He felt a rare sense of longing and yearning. No wonder these powerful figures were all seeking transcendence. This world was indeed magnificent and worth exploring and pursuing with all one's might.

The Sword Spirit Realm is quite far from the Immortal Pivot. Even though Jiang Ming tried his best to maintain his speed, it still took him nearly a month.

The journey through space was not smooth sailing. Jiang Ming nearly lost his way several times and even encountered a few cultivators from other realms.

However, they were also capable of assessing the situation and, seeing that Jiang Ming's strength was not low either, they wholeheartedly chose to prioritize peace.

Upon arriving in the Sword Spirit Realm, Murong Xue sensed Jiang Ming's presence as soon as he entered, and immediately raised her eyebrows, revealing a slight smile.

As Murong Xue said, the Sword Spirit Realm is indeed not very large, and what's most interesting is that there is really only one faction here.

The number of people practicing cultivation is less than the population of Tongzhou.

Upon arriving outside Sword Mountain, Murong Xue had already been waiting for a while.

Looking at Jiang Ming's solid cultivation, she felt a little envious. "The Five Elements Law and the Sword Dao Law, you have now mastered the arrangements of the two Dao Lords. I just don't know what the Dao Venerable is doing. His plan should not fail."

You should still be able to grasp the external path of Qi and Luck, and after you become a Nascent Soul cultivator, they will gradually pass on their own Great Dao Laws to you, and then you can attempt to transcend it…”

"Seeing is believing. Your demeanor at the peak of the Golden Core stage is truly well-deserved. Compared to when you were in the Immortal Pivot, you have a different kind of radiance today."

Upon hearing Jiang Ming's sudden praise, Murong Xue frowned. Just as she was about to show her pride, she noticed a pair of large hands clinging to her without any hesitation.

"You...you move it away right now! We're still in the sect. As the sect leader, if someone sees me like this, it'll be terrible..."

"As long as no one sees us, that's fine." He calmly used the Daoist aura of the Great Forest Wood to conceal their presence.

Jiang Ming continued to grope her, making Murong Xue blush and blush with shyness.

"Stop! There's another Golden Core cultivator at the peak of his cultivation. This little trick might fool the disciple, but it won't fool him."

He is, after all, my martial uncle. There are some things we can't go too far with. Come back to my cave with me, and I'll do whatever you want with him then..."

Lowering her head shyly, Murong Xue couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.

This wasn't about hoping for sexual intimacy. As a Golden Core cultivator at the peak of her cultivation, physical pleasure between men and women wasn't important. What Murong Xue wanted more was Jiang Ming's Dao essence.

Through this, she can get a glimpse into the basics of the Five Elements, which is quite beneficial for improving her strength.

Moreover, after the Sword Lord, the Primordial Saint Dao Lord, and the Dao Venerable transcend, three positions will definitely become vacant. At that time, if Jiang Ming is willing to support her, she will still have a chance to become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

This is why, despite her dignified Golden Core Perfection cultivation, she was willing to listen to Jiang Ming's words and act obediently in every way.

……

Inside the cave, Murong Xue was dressed in a white training uniform. The skirt accentuated her curves, making her hips appear even more voluptuous.

"I'm going to take a bath and change..."

"No need, this is fine, I like it..."

Leaning on the bank of the book, biting her finger, and glancing back at Jiang Ming with a disdainful look, Murong Xue exhaled softly, her eyes filled with satisfaction at having comprehended the Five Elements Law.

As expected of a near-perfect law in this world, it offers immense benefits to the improvement of a cultivator's strength.

After just one interaction, Murong Xue felt that the spiritual energy within her body had become exceptionally refined and elegant.

Jiang Ming's body is extremely beneficial for refining spiritual power. If she can possess this body for a long time, she may also be able to master the Five Elements Laws...

Inside the cave, springtime was in the air, and the scent of photinia flowers lingered for a long time.

After tidying up her torn clothes, Murong Xue looked Jiang Ming up and down with a hint of curiosity. "Why are you in the Sword Spirit Realm if you're not aiming for the Golden Core Perfection stage?"

"I don't know how to break through to the Golden Core Perfection stage. I'm currently at my strongest in the Immortal Pivot realm, and I can't find any cultivators of the same level to communicate with..."

He nodded, somewhat understanding.

Murong Xue seemed to understand something. Her dry throat became hoarse, and she blurted out, "It must be the Sword Lord's plan. Fate guided you to come to me."

It seems there are treasures on Sword Mountain that can help you improve your cultivation...
