Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 223 Giving the Great Wilderness to them

"What I wanted, I have already obtained."

Li Changsheng spoke calmly, still not letting the Buddhist disciple know about the demon seed.

If Buddhist disciples were to learn of the demonic seed, they would likely suffer a mental breakdown and die of anger.

Within the demonic seed are recorded what the Buddhist disciple has realized, learned, and known.

He doesn't need to ask the Buddha's disciple what he wants to ask; he can simply find the answer from the demonic seed.

"Now that you have obtained what you desired, fellow Daoist, may I ask for your assistance once?" the Buddhist disciple said.

"What do you want me to do?" Li Changsheng asked.

"This old monk only has ten years left to live, but wishes to live another hundred years," the Buddhist disciple said.

"A hundred years?" Li Changsheng was slightly taken aback and said, "What can a Buddhist disciple do in a hundred years?"

Could it be that, within a hundred years, the Buddhist disciple can heal his wounds and return to his peak?

This is impossible!

The current Buddha is in a worse state than Xia Chengfeng was back then, and it's impossible for him to return to his peak.

Unless it's put into a regeneration tank and rebuilt, there might still be a chance.

"Amitabha Buddha, I pray to the Buddha." The Buddhist disciple put his hands together and said, "This old monk entered the Buddhist order at a young age, and on the way to the Pure Land, I wish to pray to the Buddha once more."

Li Changsheng remained silent for a moment, then said, "Since the Buddha desires a hundred years, this humble Daoist will grant your wish."

With a wave of his hand, he took out a lotus flower from his storage bag, which contained surging vitality.

"This lotus flower can extend your life by another hundred years. After a hundred years, the lotus flower will dissipate, and your lifespan will also end."

"Thank you." The Buddhist disciple carefully accepted the lotus flower.

  

The lotus flower merged into his body, and the Buddhist disciple's vitality surged. The wrinkles on his face disappeared, and he was restored to a youthful state.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. The path to Buddhahood is still long, and this old monk must depart immediately," the Buddhist disciple said, bowing.

"Buddha's disciple, please." Li Changsheng gestured for him to proceed, ultimately deciding not to rush to retrieve the Demon Seed.

He wanted to see what the Buddha's disciple intended to do, and whether the demonic seed would record these final moments.

As for whether the demon seed will be discovered?

Li Changsheng was not worried. Even when the Buddha was at his peak, he could not be detected, let alone now.

As Li Changsheng watched the Buddhist disciple leave, he was about to return when a pink light appeared in the void, and the surrounding space shifted.

The village disappeared, and in its place, a valley full of blooming flowers appeared.

A woman in white strolled through the flowerbeds, smiling at Li Changsheng: "You've finally shown up."

"Su Ling'er, I never expected that you would actually deceive my senses," Li Changsheng sighed softly.

"The Demon Emperor has made ample preparations for this meeting."

Su Ling'er said softly, "The Demon Emperor knows you have many tricks up your sleeve, but he repeatedly warned me not to let you find out."

"Do you know who I am?" Li Changsheng stared at Su Ling'er.

Su Ling'er shook her head: "I don't know. The Demon Emperor only said that when the Buddha's son falls, someone will appear to take the Demon Seed. You could have taken it just now, so why did you give up?"

"I believe that the final stretch of the Buddha's journey will be very valuable," Li Changsheng said.

Su Ling'er nodded: "Ling'er is very curious about the Daoist's true identity. The Demon Emperor personally planted the Demon Seed, waiting for you to reap the rewards."

"Since the Demon Emperor didn't tell you, there's no need for you to ask further," Li Changsheng said calmly. "Did you come here for some business?"

"The Demon Emperor instructed Ling'er to give this item to the Daoist priest." Su Ling'er raised her hand, and a jade pendant flew towards Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng took the jade pendant, and a large amount of information entered his mind.

The Scriptures of All Realms and Paths!

Liu Wuyou's cultivation method!

"The Demon Emperor also asked Ling'er to pass on a message to the Taoist priest," Su Ling'er added.

"What did you say?" Li Changsheng asked.

"The Demon Emperor has merged with the Dao, and his lifespan is nine thousand years. Is the ten-thousand-year agreement still valid?" Su Ling'er asked.

"It's naturally effective," Li Changsheng nodded.

Su Ling'er nodded and said, "I will tell the Demon Emperor truthfully that if you have any trouble, you can go to the Longevity Demon Kingdom. The Demon Kingdom will definitely use all its resources to help you."

"Thank you," Li Changsheng said.

Su Ling'er bowed and took her leave, transforming into a streak of light and departing.

The Hundred Flowers Illusion vanished, and Li Changsheng left the fishing village, returning to the Netherworld.

This scripture of the myriad realms and the Buddhas was given to Su Ling'er by the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor when she first arrived in the Central Plains.

Li Changsheng glanced at it and saw that the cultivation method already mentioned the world of seven hundred and sixty leaves.

So many years have passed, I wonder how far Liu Wuyou has reached in the real world of leaves.

If one completes the Three Thousand Worlds, then it is quite normal for the Five Elements to converge and unite with the Dao.

Returning to the Netherworld, the soul silently returned.

Li Changsheng sighed softly, not expecting Liu Wuyou to still be worried that he would break his promise ten thousand years later.

Calm your mind, study the scriptures of the various realms and the Buddhist teachings, and refine the world of tree leaves.

Li Changsheng instructed the Rakshasa to pay attention to outside news and also to keep an eye on the Buddhist disciples.

The fierce battles outside had no effect on the Netherworld.

Within the Pool of Heaven and Earth Regeneration, ordinary life is no longer conceived; it is only used to nurture the essence of the Netherworld and the sacred runes of the Earth Emperor.

Unexpectedly, this Netherworld Blood Essence and Earth Emperor Sacred Mark possessed an astonishing ability to absorb life force and spiritual energy.

Li Changsheng could only urge Jiu Youming to bring back more spiritual herbs.

He and the phoenix also drew upon spiritual energy to meet the embryo's needs.

After the embryo stabilized, Phoenix picked up the little phoenix again, cherishing it dearly.

Li Changsheng sighed softly, "You can't neglect your cultivation. Your potential also determines this little guy's potential."

"I understand." Phoenix nodded. "Over the years, I've been investigating this little fellow and discovered that he does have a chance to break free from the shackles of bloodline and surpass me."

"Oh?" Li Changsheng raised an eyebrow.

"My bloodline is inherited from the pure Phoenix Ancestor, and my lineage is pure. If this little guy can refine his own bloodline, it is not impossible for him to surpass me."

Phoenix sighed softly as she finished speaking, "However, this hope is rather slim."

Li Changsheng nodded. This little guy's bloodline is really bad.

If we were to give an example, it would be Xia Yanbing, whose bloodline was not enhanced.

The Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit are easy to achieve, but the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top is difficult.

Achieving the convergence of the five elements is already extremely difficult.

This little guy may not have had the same opportunities as Xia Yanbing, who refined his bloodline in the Eastern Continent and even comprehended the origin of heaven.

Xia Yanbing's bloodline may not be as strong as this phoenix's, but it's definitely not much weaker.

The phoenixes of today haven't cultivated themselves to their full potential, and their bloodlines haven't undergone further refinement, so the resulting phoenixes are naturally somewhat inferior.

Li Changsheng urged him to cultivate diligently to strengthen his bloodline, and then give the little phoenix some more to help it undergo a transformation.

Phoenix diligently cultivated, while Li Changsheng watched the embryo, simultaneously refining the world of leaves and studying the Great Dao of Stars.

Among the Buddhist scriptures of all realms is the Zhou Tian Star Array, which Liu Wuyou later comprehended.

The stars are arranged in array, based on the world, manifesting an endless star field.

The more Li Changsheng pondered, the more astonished he became, and finally came to a conclusion.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor may very well have comprehended the laws of immortals and gods!

Moreover, the aura of this law might be stronger than his and Sun Chengdao's!

No wonder he was able to kill someone at the Dao Integration Realm!

The Demon Emperor is still the same Demon Emperor, even after thousands of years, he still retains his monstrous talent.

As he comprehended the truth, the divine aura within him increased, and the world of leaves also strengthened.

Among the Buddhist scriptures of all realms, there are methods to integrate the aura of laws into the world of leaves.

Li Changsheng couldn't help but marvel at Liu Wuyou's extraordinary talent.

What would happen if all the worlds of leaves were governed by laws?

At that time, even a single leaf could be used to suppress immortals and gods!

Of course, this is still a long way off; they have only just scratched the surface of the laws.

Li Changsheng made steady progress, and after Phoenix took a detached view of everything, her cultivation speed became even faster than before.

Sometimes it's infuriating; other people cultivate casually and progress much faster.

I work very hard in my cultivation, but I just can't keep up with the speed at which others improve their cultivation.

Ah, well, what can I do when I have unlimited lifespan? I'll just have to let them have their way.

A bunch of short-lived ghosts, let them try their best to make a splash in the passage of time.

I focused on my spiritual practice, and time flew by; another fifty years passed.

On this day, Rakshasa reported the news.

The battle between Wutian and his group was still fierce, and the Holy Son of the Zizaitian Demonic Path fell.

Li Changsheng also sensed it; his demonic seed was summoning, so he separated a wisp of his divine soul to retrieve it.

He was truly impressed by Liu Wuyou, who had actually given all his demonic seeds to the Buddhist disciple and the Holy Son of the Demonic Path.

His remaining demon seeds were mostly retrieved and were of little use.

However, the demonic seed of the Demonic Saint brought him great gains.

The Free and Unfettered Heavenly Demon Dao Pattern, although not a sacred pattern, is a top-tier immortal god's Dao pattern, far superior to the Four Seas True Dragon Pattern.

It is in no way inferior to the real holy runes.

The return of the demonic seed made up for his lack of knowledge about the demonic path, and he began to refine the Free Heaven Demonic Path Patterns.

As for the Buddhist disciple, after requesting a hundred years of lifespan, he did not do anything significant.

Buddhist disciples walk on foot, practice asceticism, beg for alms, and preach the Dharma to ordinary people.

ascetic!

This is the Buddhist disciple of today, a true ascetic.

In response, Li Changsheng could only sigh that the Buddhist disciple had truly attained enlightenment.

Wutian completely ignored Zhenlong. He had originally intended to use Wutian and Sun Chengdao to deal with Yang Wushang.

But now that the four great saints are united as one, who do they still care about?

Cooperation?

Even if we have real dragons, it's not enough. If we offer them resources and ask for their help, we still have to see if they agree.

Helpless, Zhenlong ultimately chose to cooperate with Yang Wushang and was making efforts to win over Yang Dingtian.

Those holy sons and daughters also united, and the demonic path no longer cared.

After all, there are not many Holy Sons left to survive; only the Heavenly Saintess, the Profound Heavenly Son, and the Primordial Heavenly Demon Son remain.

They also joined forces with some experts at the Five Qi Gathering Realm to deal with the crisis together.

Upon hearing this news, Li Changsheng instructed Luo Sha to continue monitoring the situation.

Peacefully watching over the developing embryo, Li Changsheng's world of leaves was also slowly expanding.

Ten years later, on this day, the Rakshasa returned one after another, and the Netherworld became lively for a time.

Li Changsheng and Phoenix were puzzled, so they summoned a female Rakshasa and asked, "Didn't they go to the Great Wilderness?"

"The Great Wilderness is now occupied by powerful figures like Yang Wushang," the female Rakshasa replied. "We have no choice but to return and relinquish the Great Wilderness to them."

"What? They took over? How did they end up in the Great Wilderness?" Li Changsheng asked in astonishment.

"It was the underworld that led them there."

Nine Netherworld manifested and said, "The spiritual herbs on the outskirts of the Great Wilderness have been almost completely harvested. If we do not obtain more spiritual herbs, the gestation of this sacred embryo will have to end."

"You want to use Yang Wushang and the others to obtain resources from the Great Wilderness for you?" Li Changsheng frowned.

"Not bad," Jiu Youming nodded.

"But are they strong enough?" Li Changsheng frowned. "You said it yourself, even those who have reached the Dao Integration stage have little chance of survival, let alone those who have only reached the Five Qi Gathering stage."

"As long as they don't go too deep, they should be able to come out alive."

Jiuyouming said calmly, "Moreover, they are only conducting preliminary explorations. The major forces will be the main force in the later stages."

"You want to bring all the major powers into the Great Wilderness?"

Li Changsheng's expression changed, and Phoenix couldn't help but say, "Are you crazy? If they find out that Youming is behind this, Youming will be destroyed!"

While the Netherworld is powerful, that's only in comparison to the current powerhouses.

For the major powers, those old monsters who have ascended to immortality or even become scattered immortals, the Netherworld can be destroyed with a flick of the wrist!

Jiuyouming said indifferently, "There is no other way. Besides, the Great Wilderness is a treasure land that hides too many secrets, and it's time to unravel them."

"If we want to break into the Great Wilderness, I wonder if all the major forces combined could do it," Li Changsheng frowned.

"It's difficult," Jiuyouming shook his head. "The things hidden in the Great Wilderness are beyond my imagination, but if we can transform those things into our strength, then we can all advance to the next level!"

"If that aura of the Earth Emperor truly contains the Earth Emperor's inheritance, or even immortal medicine, then ascending to immortality from the underworld is not impossible."

"The Earthly Emperor's legacy? Immortal medicine?" Li Changfeng and Phoenix exchanged a glance, a look of shock flashing in their eyes: "There might be immortal medicine inside?"

"I've seen it all. The outer areas of the Great Wilderness are full of top-quality spiritual herbs, and the central region is almost covered with top-grade medicinal herbs, many of which are ancient top-grade spiritual herbs."

Jiuyouming said solemnly, "Deep within the Great Wilderness, there is a very high probability that immortal herbs grow there, and perhaps even the Tree of Immortality!"

Li Changsheng: "..."

Can you please stop contacting me?

As an immortal tree, do you know how difficult life can be?

Upon hearing this, the phoenix's expression shifted: "If we can find the Tree of Immortality, then we will have no shortage of life when we create living beings."

"You're really clever." Li Changsheng's lips twitched.

If you actually found the Tree of Immortality, would you just eat it directly instead of using it to create a sacred embryo?

Jiu Youming stared intently at him: "If you really find the Tree of Immortality, won't you eat it and gain immortality?"

The phoenix was taken aback, then excitedly said, "Yes, yes, by eating the Tree of Immortality, I can live forever and have endless years to continue the lineage."

Li Changsheng: "..."

Or, why don't you just stop caring about bloodlines and go out and sow your seed anywhere?

The phoenixes of today are only thinking about the continuation of their species.

"Let Yang Wushang and his fellows explore the Great Wilderness first, while the Underworld Society keeps a close watch."

Jiuyouming said calmly, "As for the Tree of Immortality, it must be deep in the Great Wilderness. We don't need to think about it for now."

In today's world, unless those old monsters intervene, there's no way to reach the depths of the Great Wilderness.

With Sun Chengdao and his group's current strength, they'd have a tough time even getting into the central region.

They could barely manage to obtain some medicinal herbs in the outer and central parts of the Great Wilderness.
