To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

The legendary author, Fat Goose, who loves to dream, has joined the platform with his new work, "Understanding All Laws and Achieving Immortality"!

The half-demon cultivator walked out of the blood-red palace, his steps unusually heavy.

If he had a choice, he really wouldn't want to come into contact with the Black Serpent, even though he was considered a direct descendant of the Black Serpent, had followed the Black Serpent in its defection into the Wilderness Mountains, and worshipped the same true spirit.

Since their trip to the Luofu Secret Realm, the demon cultivators sent by the Blood Dragon King have vanished without a trace, and the Xuan Snake has become exceptionally irritable, frequently killing his subordinates and causing his servants to tremble in fear.

The Blood Dragon King and the Sky Eagle King didn't seem to care much about this.

In their eyes, demonized cultivators were just servants, and they could kill them without hesitation. Even the Xuan Snake was just a slightly higher-ranking servant.

However, demonized cultivators still have some irreplaceable advantages over demonic beasts.

For example, the Blood Dragon King's palace was built by a demonized cultivator.

After a demon beast cultivates to the third rank, its intelligence is no less than that of an ordinary human, but it still cannot transform into human form, which makes it not only inconvenient to move around, It's even harder to control.

On the contrary, the demonized cultivators were exceptionally respectful to the two demon kings, serving them with great care.

Therefore, the Blood Dragon King allowed demonized cultivators to extract the essence and blood of demonic beasts for cultivation, and generously bestowed upon them a great deal of cultivation resources.

"Alas! If only I hadn't betrayed the Spirit Transformation Sect back then..."

The half-demon cultivator thought to himself, then quickly shook his head to clear his mind.

The transformation into a demon is irreversible; there is no turning back, only one path to the end.

A moment later, the half-demon cultivator arrived at a quiet palace.

It was more like a spacious cave than a grand hall. The cave was dark and cold, and the furnishings were much simpler than those of the blood-red hall, revealing a wild and untamed atmosphere.

At the very center of the main hall, on a stone platform brimming with spiritual energy, a snake's tail coiled up.

Looking along the snake's tail, one could see that its upper body was that of a human.

The black snake lay prone on the ground, its eyes closed as if in meditation, but its tail swayed with each breath, revealing that its mind was not at peace.

"Disciple greets Master." The half-demon cultivator bowed.

The black serpent suddenly opened its eyes, its snake pupils flashing with a cold light, and said in a sinister tone, "What is it?"

"Your Majesty just said that the altar in Falling Phoenix Valley has been destroyed, which means there must be... human cultivators stationed there. Please ask Master to investigate the truth." The half-demon cultivator said, his body trembling slightly.

After he finished speaking, the cave fell silent.

The black serpent tilted its head, seemingly deep in thought, its gaze sweeping over the half-demon cultivator before it suddenly spoke coldly, "Are you afraid of me?"

"No! Your disciple has nothing but reverence for your master."

The half-demon cultivator trembled even more violently and quickly kowtowed.

"respect?"

The black serpent suddenly swam closer and circled the half-demon cultivator.

The half-demon cultivator knelt on the spot, motionless.

After a long silence, the black serpent coldly snorted, "I understand. Get lost!"

The half-demon cultivator felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly bowed and took his leave.

The black serpent's figure twisted and contorted, its tail shortening as it transformed into a human and stood up, its eyes slightly lowered, forcibly suppressing the anger in its heart.

His defection from the Spirit Transformation Sect had previously been considered a brilliant move by the Black Serpent.

After all, his cultivation had reached a bottleneck when he was in the Spirit Transformation Sect. Although his Golden Core had been refined five times, he was still unable to enter the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

By chance, the Xuan Snake touched the Demon Refining Pot and heard that unbelievable voice from it.

Guided by that voice, he comprehended the secret technique of demon transformation, and his cultivation accelerated rapidly, allowing him to enter the late stage of the Golden Core realm in one fell swoop. Shattering the Golden Core and forming the Nascent Soul was no longer a dream.

Knowing the rules of the Spirit Transformation Sect well, Xuan She knew that her demonic cultivation would be exposed sooner or later, so she decided to go all out and contacted the Blood Flood Dragon King, even dragging two Golden Core cultivators from the Spirit Transformation Sect into the mess.

"As long as we rescue the Demon Lord, we can ascend to the heavens in one step; shattering the Golden Core and forming the Nascent Soul is merely a matter of ease."

"Then I'll turn the tables, seize control of the Wilderness Mountain, and even the Demon King will have to defer to me!"

With this in mind, Xuan She recruited disciples in the Hualing Sect on one hand, and planned the Three Sects Dharma Assembly to seize the Demon Refining Pot on the other. When the Luofu Secret Realm arrived, she even gave away her own natal magic weapon.

"Why! Why did this happen!"

The black serpent suddenly roared and punched the stone wall, sending large pieces of stone flying everywhere.

Not only did they fail to welcome back the Demon Lord, but they also lost their natal magic weapon. To make matters worse, the natal magic weapon also had a spirit-attaching talisman on it!

The spirit talisman contained his fragmented divine consciousness.

With the destruction of its natal magic weapon, the divine consciousness within the attached talisman also dissipated completely. The Xuan Snake suffered severe damage to its vital energy, and its cultivation level plummeted back to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. All its hard work had been in vain.

What he found even more unacceptable was that Hu Yueyao took the opportunity to rise to power.

Thinking of this, the black snake couldn't help but look to the west, where a luxurious and elegant palace was under construction, which was Hu Yueyao's residence.

"That bitch!" Xuan She thought bitterly.

Hu Yueyao was originally only able to follow behind Xuan She, but taking advantage of his great loss of energy, she moved between the two demon kings and used her charming beauty to obtain a lot of cultivation resources from them.

With the help of the demon transformation technique, he not only surpassed others to reach the late stage of the Golden Core realm, but also successfully formed his Nascent Soul with the support of two demon kings!

How can the Black Serpent not go mad?!

How can the Black Serpent not go mad?!

But what's done is done, and there's no turning back. He could only submit to the Blood Dragon King's commands.

After venting his anger, the black snake flew out of the cave and rode its escape light to a forest. It took out a bone whistle from its sleeve and put it to its lips to blow it.

An invisible wave emanated from it.

Moments later, dust and smoke rose up.

The three demonic beasts—the scorpion-tailed lion, the four-armed white ape, and the fire-scaled leopard—rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

These were the helpers that the Blood Dragon King had allocated to the Black Serpent. Each one was a third-tier demon beast, assisting him in capturing cultivators from the outside world. They were among those who had attacked the Lingxiao Sect's magic boat earlier.

The black serpent glanced at the three demonic beasts and said coldly, "The king wants us to go to Falling Phoenix Valley. You will set off with me immediately."

The three demonic beasts roared in dissatisfaction.

Although the Blood Dragon King ordered the Black Serpent to lead them, they were difficult to tame, and even though the Black Serpent's cultivation was higher than theirs, it was not convinced.

The next instant, the black serpent suddenly fell from the clouds, like a bolt of black lightning.

As it fell, its body emitted a mysterious light, revealing its half-demon form. Its snake tail coiled around the white ape on the four walls, and its sharp claws gripped the top of the ape's head, sinking deep inside.

"You think you can disobey me?"

The white ape cried out in pain, trying to claw at itself with its limbs, but the black snake held it down firmly. After a long while, it finally let out a low wail.

The black serpent snorted coldly, released the white ape, and then flew out of the desolate mountains, with the three demonic beasts following behind in a huff.

......

Several days later, outside Fallen Phoenix Valley.

After Gu Fan's exploration, the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect got busy.

The Yunmeng Boat contained a large amount of building materials, and the disciples divided the work and built pavilions and towers according to the design drawings.

The Lingxiao Sect already has extensive experience in building its own base.

Gu Fan also specially assigned many disciples who had participated in the construction of Xuan Yin Immortal City, and they were very skilled at their work.

As for himself, he chose a location and pondered the formations he could set up to deal with any possible attacks.

The discovery of the bone altar gave him a bad feeling; he feared that the construction of the base would not be smooth sailing.

Several miles away from Fallen Phoenix Valley, the Black Serpent concealed its figure, gazing at the massive Cloud Dream Ship from afar, a hint of danger flashing in its eyes.

"They're from the Lingxiao Sect, which is a bit troublesome."

Of the three sects of Wei, the Lingxiao Sect is the strongest, and Xuan She is well aware of this.

But if we retreat now, the Blood Dragon King probably won't be satisfied.

Thinking this, the Black Serpent looked at the busy scene in Falling Phoenix Valley and instructed the three demonic beasts behind it: "Spread out in a moment and hunt down the low-level cultivators in Falling Phoenix Valley."

"Don't linger in battle. After the Golden Core cultivators appear, exchange a few blows and then run away."

"Did you understand?"

The three demonic beasts responded in hushed tones.
