Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 101 Niu Wendao Returns

Life in the ordinary village is leisurely and carefree.

The blue sky continues to weed, day after day.

The rest of the villagers also maintain a lifestyle of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

Like them, Li Changsheng had a peaceful mind, contemplating the universe.

However, his cultivation was extremely slow.

The Buddhist scriptures of all realms state that the deeper one's practice, the more difficult it is to advance.

The higher the realm, the more profound the Dao Yuan; fifteen worlds are equivalent to one and a half of oneself.

His improvement requires more than twice as much as before.

Thinking back, I sold my disciple in order to advance to the Precious Pearl and cultivate the Buddhist scriptures of all realms.

Now, having become a mortal, I can only accumulate experience slowly and naturally.

He wasn't in a hurry. In this ordinary village, he learned to calm his mind and comprehend the Tao. Whatever happened in the outside world was irrelevant to him and had no effect on him.

In the path of spiritual practice, one must avoid being impatient!

The mortal village is like a paradise where people can focus on their spiritual cultivation without worrying about anything.

Li Changsheng also began to refine the new world. Since he was carefree anyway, it didn't matter if he was a little slower. He just wanted to make himself stronger than others of the same level.

Peacefully cultivate oneself, spending each day farming, fishing, or weeding while gazing at the blue sky.

Occasionally, the village chief would inform them of major events happening outside, and Li Changsheng would discuss them with the villagers.

Years passed, and it was said that things were even more chaotic outside; half of the princes appointed by the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty had rebelled.

With war raging across the land during the Great Qian Dynasty, the princes, for the sake of power and survival, had no choice but to raise armies in rebellion.

The Emperor of Daqian also lost control of the Demon Extermination Hall, and the world became increasingly chaotic.

Many of the Demon Extermination Halls have become corrupt, focusing only on profit and forgetting their duties.

Some demon-slaying halls even harbor evil spirits, which will naturally make the situation even more chaotic.

For a time, the Great Qian Dynasty was in turmoil, and the people suffered greatly.

Time flows on and on, never stopping for anyone.

Li Changsheng sat by the field, quietly watching the land, which was now overgrown with weeds once again.

"A hundred years." Li Changsheng murmured. He had been in the mortal village for a hundred years.

Qingtian walked over; she had become more mature and hadn't smiled in a long time.

Her stunningly beautiful face was now devoid of smiles.

Her eyes were frighteningly calm, as if nothing could arouse her interest.

But she will still remove weeds when she sees them.

She came to the edge of the field and quietly looked at Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng spoke up: "In a small field, with weeds and crops, some people see the weeds as evil and demons, and the crops as people and goodness."

"And you?" Qing Tian asked calmly.

"I think that whether it is a human or a demon, they are all weeds, while crops are the resources of the world."

Li Changsheng said calmly, "We are all fighting for resources, but there is something else hidden underground."

"What?"

"Insects are like a swarm of demons, only knowing how to destroy and profit."

The blue sky fell silent.

"How is your path?" Li Changsheng looked at Qingtian.

"I have departed from this world," Qing Tian said slowly. "And I will soon be leaving this place."

"Congratulations on your successful transformation into a mortal." Li Changsheng bowed with his hands clasped.

"And you?" Qing Tian asked.

"Late stage of the Precious Pearl realm," Li Changsheng said. "I have comprehended the power of heaven and earth, and I am currently using it to refine my soul and body."

Only by refining the soul and making the spirit strong enough can the Yin spirit leave the body.

Qing Tian said, "If you have nowhere to go in the future, you can come to Qing Tian Holy Land to find me."

"Okay, I remember. You have to protect me this once." Li Changsheng said with a smile.

"I won't say goodbye to the village chief; please convey my message," Qing Tian said.

"Okay." Li Changsheng nodded.

Qing Tian nodded slightly, turned around, and the restrictions on his body dissipated, revealing a terrifying yet pure righteous energy, along with a faint trace of heavenly might.

He rose into the blue clouds, and his coarse linen clothes transformed into a blue Taoist robe, his hair tied up.

She ascended into the sky, but suddenly stopped, looking down at Li Changsheng: "Do not do evil, or I will show no mercy."

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a long rainbow and disappeared into the horizon.

Li Changsheng fell silent. What was the evil he was doing?

If Liu Wuyou is considered evil, then my teaching her to grow up is already a heinous crime.

With a sigh, he returned to the mortal village.

The villagers were busy with their own things. The village chief sat at the door, legs crossed, looking at a book. Beside him were dozens of identical books.

Upon his arrival, they greeted him, "Come here, the latest news from the outside world, only two Daqian coins required."

"One serving, please." Li Changsheng flicked two large Qian coins at his fingertips and said, "Qingtian is gone."

"Gone?" The village chief was taken aback, then sighed, "Poor child, he'll be eating at the feast tonight!"

"I just left," Li Changsheng said, rubbing his temples.

"In the mortal village, once you leave, you can never come back. For mortals, it's no different from being dead."

The village chief said solemnly, "Therefore, we will have a feast tonight."

"Prepare a feast!" the villagers cried out in sorrow.

Li Changsheng: "..."

Why do I feel like you guys are really happy?

He picked up a book and sat down next to the village chief to read it.

What came into view was the history of the Great Qian Kingdom: the princes had raised an army and had already conquered dozens of cities.

These princes, forming an encirclement, headed towards the capital of the Great Qian Kingdom.

Some princes, however, remained inactive, waiting for an opportune moment.

Only one or two princes raised the banner of loyalty to the emperor and rushed to the capital, one of whom was Prince Fengtian.

The Demon Exorcism Hall was completely corrupt, and in some of the Demon Exorcism Halls, demons ran rampant.

We need them to exorcise the demon?

They've become demons!

Traces of the Blood Lotus Demon Cult were discovered in some of the Demon Extermination Halls, revealing the emergence of another Demon Cult of Ten Thousand Spirits.

Li Changsheng recalled the Myriad Spirits Returning to Origin Technique, which was passed down from this Myriad Spirits Demonic Sect, and was used to plunder myriad spirits for cultivation.

In addition to these, there are also eminent Buddhist monks who come to spread Buddhist teachings, demonstrate the supernatural powers of Buddhism, and propagate faith.

Li Changsheng flipped to the back and found the Jade Heaven lineage, whose location was equally chaotic.

In various places, spirits and demons also enter the world to plunder blood and food. In rivers and lakes, there are aquatic demon cultivators and evil dragons that wreak havoc on the world.

"Why is everything in such a mess?" Li Changsheng asked.

"This is a chaotic situation affecting the entire Central Plains," the village chief said quietly. "Don't overthink it. You're just a lowly mortal; just observe."

Li Changsheng felt a chill run down his spine. The Central Plains were vast, not just the Great Qian Kingdom, but also the Demon Kingdom.

Everything's in chaos now; the Blood Lotus Demonic Cult alone can't accomplish anything.

There is likely a top-tier power behind this, although we don't know what such a force wants to achieve.

Li Changsheng continued to peruse the books. Disciples from the Yellow Heaven Holy Land emerged, shouting that the Azure Heaven was dead and the Yellow Heaven should rise. In the year of Jiazi, great fortune would come to the world.

As a result, the Heavenly Sacred Land could no longer sit still and came out to fight with the disciples of the Yellow Heavenly Sacred Land.

Li Changsheng continued flipping through the pages and finally found the news about the Xuantian Sect and Niu Wendao.

Niu Wendao will emerge from seclusion in three years to hone his skills in the world.

With his profound cultivation, he had become a Yin deity, his bloodline revived, and he was known as the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, the Bull Demon King!

The demon kingdom descends into chaos once more. The Heavenly Heart Demon King leads his army to destroy another kingdom, using a terrifying formation to transform its essence into the Xuanbing Coffin.

"Why is the Heavenly Heart Demon King nurturing the Xuanbing Coffin?" Li Changsheng asked in confusion.

"Inside that ancient ice coffin, Li Changsheng's corpse was kept. She wanted to use the essence of a nation to nourish the corpse."

The village chief said, "Without the warmth of flesh and blood, this corpse will freeze to death sooner or later, and even if there were a way to revive it, it would be useless."

"It's been so long, they should be freezing by now, right?" Li Changsheng said.

"Have you forgotten the Flower Fairy Kingdom?" the village chief sighed. "This Heavenly Heart Demon King has completely become a demon. For Li Changsheng, she is capable of killing everything."

Li Changsheng fell silent.

I really didn't expect Liu Wuyou to be so crazy.

"This Liu Wuyou has advanced to the Yin God realm?" Li Changsheng looked at the intelligence information and saw that he had already achieved the Yin God realm.

"Yes, this Heavenly Heart Demon King is extremely powerful. Keep watching," the village chief said solemnly.

Li Changsheng continued reading, his eyes widening in disbelief. "She swallowed the bloodline of an ancient demon?" he exclaimed.

Liu Wuyou fought a stone golem with the bloodline of an ancient demon. The stone golem of the same level could not break through the defense and was refined by her.

Other powerful stone golems who were also fighting at the time were all devoured.

"Yes, the stone golem couldn't break through her defenses, but she was able to refine the stone golem; that's ancient demon blood."

The village chief said in a deep voice, "According to rumors, the Heavenly Heart Demon King has thirty leaves around his body, which are refined into magical artifacts and contain terrifying killing intent."

Thirty leaves?

It's equivalent to having three more dantian!

Moreover, it's not just about the dantian.

That was a world of leaves, which had already condensed into the phantom images of Buddha and Taoist immortals, containing a grand array of Taoism and Buddhism.

Li Changsheng could not imagine just how strong Liu Wuyou had become.

He has only managed to refine seventeen leaves so far, and his progress is very slow.

Sure enough, killing and plundering resources is the fastest way to level up.

"That's terrifying," Li Changsheng exclaimed. "He'd probably be hard to find a match for someone of the same level."

"Not necessarily. Niu Wendao of the Xuantian Sect has a bloodline that that stone man can't compare to."

The village chief said, "Niu Wendao received the full support of the Xuantian Sect, and a powerful figure from the Niu clan personally cleansed his body and strengthened his bloodline."

"The Holy Son of the Yellow Heaven Holy Land, the Holy Daughter of the Azure Heaven Holy Land, and the current Qingtian Holy Land are all extraordinary."

"The Jade Heaven lineage is very secretive, and its whereabouts are currently unknown. I've heard that Buddhist disciples are planning to enter China from the West."

"The Central Plains of the future will be truly bustling," Li Changsheng said.

"Lively?" The village chief glanced at him. "The future Central Plains will be fraught with danger and calamity. These geniuses may all perish."

Li Changsheng's heart skipped a beat: "I'll stay in the mortal village and not go anywhere else."

"Hopefully, this won't affect us," the village chief sighed.

"By the way, what year is this intelligence from?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Five years ago," the village chief said.

"Doesn't this mean that Niu Wendao has already emerged from seclusion?" Li Changsheng asked in surprise.

The village chief said, "They came out of seclusion a long time ago. They were undergoing a test by a powerful member of the Bull Clan at the Xuantian Sect. Once they passed, they went down the mountain. Judging by the time, it should be about time."

"Where would he go?" Li Changsheng asked. "Has he forgotten about Li Changsheng?"

"Why are you asking so many questions, kid?" the village chief asked, puzzled.

"I was just curious," Li Changsheng said, quickly changing the subject. "You shameless old man, everyone's busy preparing the banquet, aren't you going to help?"

"I'm the village chief, so of course you should go," the village chief said bluntly.

Li Changsheng patted his behind and went to prepare for the banquet.

Rest in peace, Qingtian!

the other side.

In Zhongyang City, more than a hundred years have passed, but the formation remains unchanged, and time has not left many traces.

The once-graceful Lingxu Cave has been reduced to ruins, crumbling walls, decaying with the passage of time.

A terrifying demonic aura swept in.

A young man with bull horns on his head arrived riding on a cloud, accompanied by two other young men dressed in blue Taoist robes.

One of them was handsome and refined, and although his aura was restrained, he still gave off an air of superiority and disdain for the mortal world.

The other person, though slightly inferior, possessed a profound and unfathomable aura.

"Holy Son, when we arrive at the Spirit Void Cave Heaven, Changsheng will definitely be very excited, and you will become good friends," the horned youth laughed heartily.

"This holy son truly wishes to meet Li Changsheng, the man you've been talking about for over a hundred years. What kind of person is he?" the handsome young man said calmly.

Another young man laughed and said, "I'd love to see it too."

"You black dragon, don't do anything reckless. If you frighten Changsheng, I won't let you off the hook," Niu Wendao said seriously.

"Don't worry, don't worry." The black-skinned dragon youth waved his hand and said, "Don't you know what kind of dragon I, Ao Xuan, am? Before we get to know each other, I'll be very polite."

"arrive!"

Niu Wendao descended from the sky, but before he even landed on the mountain peak, his expression changed drastically: "How could this be?"

Lingxu Cave Heaven is gone, only ruins remain, not a single living person left.

The Holy Son of Xuantian frowned and immediately transmitted his voice, "Qingxuan Cave Heaven, come and pay your respects immediately!"

"Why did this happen? Who did it?" Niu asked in a chilling voice, his body trembling, a terrifying killing intent emanating from him.

A moment later, an elderly man with half-white hair arrived riding on a cloud.

"Greetings, sirs." The old man bowed and greeted the three lords, then looked at Niu Wendao and exclaimed in surprise, "You are Niu Wendao?"

"It's me. You're the former Qingxuan Sect Master?" Niu Wendao recognized him and asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Where's Changsheng?"

"Not many years after you left, my mother from Changchun came."

The old man said gravely, "Our Golden Core has been held back in Tianshui City by the Moon Gazing Demon King, and the Flower Demon Mother Changchun has joined forces with the Blood Lotus Demonic Sect..."

"Flower demon, Blood Lotus Demonic Cult! Why didn't you inform me sooner?" Niu asked, his eyes bloodshot as he stared intently at the old man.

The old man lowered his head: "Before your master died, he sent a message instructing us not to notify you, lest we disturb your cultivation."

A hint of admiration flashed in the eyes of the Holy Son of Xuantian, which he then passed on to the deceased Sect Leader of Lingxu, leaving no way to verify the truth.

"Master..." Niu Wendao murmured, startled. He thought of Bai Yuquan, who had been so kind to him.

"Where is Li Changsheng?" Xuan Tian Shengzi asked.

"I don't know. I overheard it by chance. It seems he died in Tianshui City," the old man said. "I don't know the specifics."

"Tianshui City? Dead?" Niu asked, staring blankly at the old man. "Dead? Changsheng is dead?"

"This was spread by a group of lesser demons, it seems to be the group of demons you left behind. They became demon kings in Tianshui City and built a tomb for Li Changsheng." The old man said, "Back then, the Flower Demons and the Blood Lotus Demon Sect were too strong, and we were unable to protect the body of Sect Leader Bai."

"Blood Lotus Demonic Sect, Flower Demon!" Niu Wendao roared in grief, then transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for Tianshui City.

"This bottle of pills is a reward for you." Xuan Tian Shengzi took out a bottle of pills and tossed it to the old man: "Go back and cultivate. Liu Qingyue and the others will be back soon. Be prepared to welcome them."

"Yes."
