Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 230 The Legacy of the Ancestral Dragon

Li Changsheng then realized that among these rogue cultivators, there were quite a few from the Southern Demon Clan.

They were all refugees who fled from the south!

In the past, the demon race lived a carefree life in the southern continent.

But ever since the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor attacked, there have been no more leisurely days. If you don't submit to the Demon Emperor, you basically have no way to survive.

Even after submitting to the Demon Emperor, life is not as carefree as before.

With no other option, these southern demons had no choice but to flee.

They knew that the Central Plains were at peace, so they came to the Central Plains to escape disaster.

If it weren't for the news of the Tree of Immortality in the Great Wilderness, they wouldn't have come out.

"The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor, is he from our Central Plains?"

"How come I've never heard of this before?"

The cultivators from the Central Plains looked completely bewildered; they had never heard of the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor's deeds.

  This book was first published on 101 Reading Network, offering a super convenient reading experience with 101kw.tw, providing you with error-free and orderly chapter reading.

"That happened thousands of years ago."

A southern demon sighed, "Specifically, it was after the Great Shang unified the Central Plains human race that the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor left. Tsk, you call yourself a Central Plains human, don't you know that the Great Shang's unification was aided by the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor?"

"What is the relationship between the Great Shang Dynasty's unification and the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor?" the cultivator from the Central Plains asked, puzzled.

"Back then, the Great Shang Dynasty had a very strong opponent, the Great Xia Dynasty. Its ancestor, Xia Chengfeng, was also a peerless cultivator."

The southern demon clan sighed, "If Xia Chengfeng hadn't died, he would definitely be a Dao Integration Realm cultivator now, and a very powerful one at that."

"Xia Chengfeng? I've seen this name in Taoist classics. He seems to be from the Tai Xuan lineage. He has extremely high talent and could have become a Taoist prodigy."

A Taoist priest recalled the ancient texts he had read and said, "Those texts praised Xia Chengfeng as a genius who appears only once in ten thousand years, whose talent and strength surpassed that of some holy sons and daughters."

"I also know that I've heard that there's a method in the Taoist sect that no one dares to practice, called the Convergence of the Three Teachings, which was created by Xia Chengfeng."

Listening to the cultivators' discussion, Li Changsheng vaguely recalled Xia Chengfeng from back then.

What a pity, such a peerless genius!

He was completely crippled in the battle with Liu Wuyou.

As more and more information was told, these independent cultivators gradually learned about the deeds of the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

They only needed to unleash their power, and since there wasn't much else to do, they simply gathered together, unleashing their power while discussing the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

Li Changsheng was also in the crowd; he listened without speaking.

The power of the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor terrified everyone.

Previously, I thought that he was just a Dao Integration Realm demon emperor from the Southern Continent. He was strong, but his strength was probably only similar to that of Dao Integration Realm cultivators like Yang Wushang.

But now it seems that the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor's strength is far beyond that of an ordinary Dao Integration cultivator.

Far surpassing even the supreme Dao Integration experts like Yang Wu!

"No wonder it could swallow a ferocious beast at the Dao Integration Realm in one gulp. We actually managed to follow such a powerful expert," a cultivator exclaimed.

One of the cultivators chimed in, "This can be considered a stroke of good fortune. If we can gain some benefits from it, that would be even better."

A tiger demon from the southern demon race scoffed, "Don't even think about it. No matter how many benefits the Great Wilderness offers, they belong to the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor and the Longevity Demon Kingdom. How could they possibly be ours?"

Upon hearing this, the group of cultivators all fell silent.

Yes, with so many demons in the Immortal Demon Kingdom waiting to share resources, how could it possibly be their turn?

"However, it is quite a stroke of luck that I was able to come to the Great Wilderness."

One of the cultivators grinned and said, "If it weren't for the Demon Emperor, how many of us would dare to enter the Great Wilderness?"

"That's true. Just being able to come and broaden our horizons is worth it in this lifetime," a cultivator laughed loudly.

Li Changsheng remained silent. Just as they said, it was already good enough to broaden one's horizons.

Without the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor, they might not even be able to get past the poisonous insects outside the Great Wilderness.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor continued his advance, and the surrounding vegetation grew increasingly lush, with some plants even harboring deadly intent.

It possesses potent poison, venomous thorns, and even a man-eating tree, comparable to a cultivator at the Dao Integration Realm.

One terrifying danger after another filled people with dread.

Fortunately, everything turned out alright, and the Demon Emperor easily dealt with the situation.

Time passed, a day went by, and it was already dark outside.

Suddenly, a terrifying and pure energy, like a torrent, swept across the entire world of leaves.

Fortunately, this terrifying energy was very gentle, allowing them to absorb it at will.

From the void, the voices of the demon cultivators from the Longevity Demon Kingdom also echoed: "This is the energy bestowed upon you by the Demon Emperor after refining the Dao-Merging Beast."

"Long live the Demon Emperor!"

A monk shouted excitedly.

"Bullshit! Who are you cursing? The Demon Emperor will definitely find the Tree of Immortality and achieve immortality!" a cultivator shouted.

"Yes, the Demon Emperor will surely live forever. Who just said there was no chance for us?"

The cultivators were visibly excited, almost ready to bow and kowtow.

This pure energy was so vast and refined that it was enough for them to absorb and improve themselves.

Unfortunately, it was still too little for Li Changsheng.

However, since I am now an ordinary cultivator, I should absorb less.

The cultivators were all deeply grateful to the Demon Emperor, completely forgetting their previous arrogance.

Even the southern demon clans have changed their tune.

Li Changsheng absorbed the pure energy, slowly increasing his cultivation level.

If he weren't currently in Liu Wuyou's world of leaves, he would definitely have taken out his Longevity Diary and made a note of Liu Wuyou's existence.

Within Liu Wuyou's world of leaves, it is very safe. Coming to the Great Wilderness is like entering a zoo.

No matter how terrifying the beasts here are, there's no need to worry. Liu Wuyou will take the lead.

This damn sense of security!

Li Changsheng sighed softly, "I'm sorry, the great calamity of heaven and earth also needs you to step up."

It would have been better if they hadn't ventured into the wilderness in search of themselves.

Unfortunately, they were all coming for me!

It's pathetic to think about it. We raised so many geniuses who achieved Dao, only to have them slaughter their way to the Great Wilderness just to eat us!

The good-for-nothing sighed...

Under the cover of night, the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor stopped, surveyed his surroundings, and said calmly, "Come out."

"The Demon Emperor is indeed unfathomable. Ming has tried his best to hide it, but he still couldn't fool the Demon Emperor."

Jiuyouming emerged from the shadows and said, "It's quite a surprise that the Demon Emperor has arrived here in just one day."

"I haven't caught up with your journey yet," the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor said calmly. "You've come to see me so late at night; is there something you wish to discuss?"

Before that, Jiu Youming and his group had arrived at the ruins of the Undying Kingdom.

Although they have re-entered the Great Wilderness, they understand it better than the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor, making them more familiar with the terrain and thus moving faster.

Jiuyouming calmly said, "Let's make a deal with the Demon Emperor through meditation. In exchange for some longevity elixirs from the Demon Emperor."

"Life-extending elixirs?" The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor frowned. "Life-extending elixirs are extremely precious. Some of my cultivators urgently need them. Furthermore, you should still have a long lifespan ahead of you, and you should have obtained quite a few life-extending elixirs."

The Nine Netherworld has already ventured deep into the Great Wilderness, and the longevity-extending elixirs they have obtained are undoubtedly plentiful.

Some of the Dao Integration Realm experts under her command are already very old and their lifespans are running out.

"The Underworld is not short of lifespan for the time being, but some Rakshasa in the Netherworld are in dire need of it, and the spiritual medicines in the Underworld's possession are far from enough."

Jiuyouming said, "The Demon Emperor is powerful and will surely obtain more spiritual herbs, and even the Tree of Immortality."

"You've all come for the Immortal Tree. Fellow Daoist's strength is equally unfathomable. Are you so lacking in confidence that you can take the Immortal Tree from my hands?" Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor retorted.

"The Immortal Tree is a matter for the future; there are other things besides the Immortal Tree in the Great Wilderness."

Nine Netherworld said softly, "Now that the True Dragon is dead, and the Ancestral Dragon's legacy is beyond the capabilities of the dragons of the Four Seas, would the Demon Emperor be interested?"

"Hmm? You know where the Ancestral Dragon's legacy is?" The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor's gaze sharpened as he stared at the Nine Netherworld.

The Ancestral Dragon's legacy is by no means inferior to the Earth Emperor's legacy!

"It's a fortunate coincidence," Jiu Youming said. "I don't need any of the treasures inside, only the elixir of longevity. What do you say?"

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor pondered for a moment, then asked, "Besides the longevity elixir inherited from the Ancestral Dragon, how much more do I need to pay?"

"From now on, the Demon Emperor shall give thirty percent of the longevity elixirs he obtains to the Underworld," said Nine Netherworld.

In order to nurture the embryo, she had no choice but to sell the Ancestral Dragon Legacy.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor shook his head and said, "At most, ten percent. My subordinates also need longevity elixirs. If we can't find the Tree of Immortality, this is our last resort."

After pondering for a moment, Jiuyou Ming nodded slightly: "One step at a time. When will the Demon Emperor go to the Ancestral Dragon's inheritance?"

"I'll go after I've seen the ruins of the Undying Kingdom," said the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor. He then asked, "You should know about the other ancient traditions, right?"

Jiuyouming smiled slightly and said, "The rest of the ancient inheritances have geniuses among the younger generation, so they should be left to them. If it weren't for the absence of Taiyi Daoist, I wouldn't have revealed the Ancestral Dragon inheritance."

"Taoist Taiyi?" Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor frowned.

"A rare fellow Daoist, with a profound understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and who has also comprehended the Dao of the True Dragon, created the True Dragon Treasure Technique and the Five Decays and Four Calamities of Heaven and Man, thus walking the path of the Heavenly Dragon."

Jiuyouming sighed, "Alas, cultivation is too slow. The Five Qi converge, but it is difficult to hope to achieve Dao. If he had come out of the mountain back then, it would not have been the turn of the True Dragon to take charge."

"Oh?" The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor's eyes flashed: "The Four Seas Dragon Clan actually has such a powerful figure?"

"It's a pity that the longevity elixir that Ming prepared for him could not be used." Jiuyou Ming sighed softly. "Ming still doesn't understand why he didn't want the longevity elixir, left Youming, and chose to complete his life's journey."

"You don't want the elixir of longevity?" The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. "Fellow Daoist, I want all information about Daoist Taiyi."

"The Demon Emperor is very interested in the Taiyi Daoist?" Jiu Youming looked at her in surprise.

He had only mentioned it casually, but he hadn't expected that the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor would be so interested in the Taiyi Daoist.

Could it be that the two know each other?

Could it be that Taiyi Daoist left to avoid the Demon Emperor?

"Such a powerful being, who does not care about fame or fortune, does not contend with true dragons, and accepts the approaching end of his lifespan with equanimity, is certainly of interest to me," said the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

"You'd have to ask Yang Dingtian for details; he's a disciple of Taiyi Daoist," Jiuyouming said.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor grew increasingly astonished: "Taoist Taiyi, with his Five Elements Converging at the Origin technique, has produced a Dao-Merging being?"

"This also surprised Ming. Apart from the slow progress of his cultivation, Taiyi Daoist has comprehended almost every path to its fullest extent."

Jiuyouming sighed, "Back then, the reason why the True Dragon was able to contact Wutian and Sun Chengdao was because Taiyi Daoist helped to connect them. Taiyi Daoist also taught Wutian and Sun Chengdao the methods, allowing them to transform together and overpower Kunpeng."

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor smiled and said, "I understand. I will go to find Yang Dingtian. After I arrive in the Undying Kingdom and meet Yang Dingtian, I will go with you to the Ancestral Dragon's Inheritance."

"Alright, this Netherworld Token can be used to contact the Netherworld." Nine Netherworld handed her a Netherworld Token and led her into the shadows.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor accepted the Netherworld Token, seemingly lost in thought.

Throughout the world, there are quite a few who can be taught to conform to the Way.

The Taoist sect, the Three Sacred Lands, the Buddhist sect, and even the old monsters of the demonic path can all teach someone to attain the Dao.

However, it is highly unusual for someone who cultivates the Five Elements to produce disciples who embody the Dao.

Moreover, he also taught and instructed Wutian and Sun Chengdao.

Besides Li Changsheng, the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor couldn't think of anyone else.

He secretly practiced the techniques of various powerful forces, mastering each one to its extreme!

Moreover, if they don't care about longevity elixirs, who wouldn't?

Li Changsheng could not care because he had a lifespan of ten thousand years, which was more than enough!

However, whether it is Li Changsheng or not can only be confirmed after meeting Yang Dingtian.

The cultivators in the world of leaves were also stunned by their conversation.

Nine Netherworld actually knew about the ancient inheritance and even sold the ancestral dragon inheritance of the Four Seas Dragon Clan.

In the past, among the Four Seas Dragon Clan, besides the True Dragon, there was also a more powerful Taiyi Daoist?

"I know the Taiyi Daoist. He resides on Penglai Island in the North Sea. Before the True Dragon appeared, he was the head of the Four Seas," said a cultivator who had gathered three flowers at the top of his head.

"I've also heard that after the true dragon was born, the Taoist Taiyi fell silent."

"Unexpectedly, the cooperation between Zhenlong, Wutian, and Sun Chengdao was facilitated by the help of Taiyi Daoren."

"What's even more terrifying is that Yang Dingtian was taught by the Taiyi Daoist, a Dao-merging master! He also taught Wutian and Sun Chengdao the methods!"

The cultivators began to discuss among themselves, all of them shocked by the Taiyi Daoist.

Upon closer examination, all three who attained Dao are related to the Daoist Taiyi.

Compared to a Dao-Merging disciple who can teach and guide two Dao-Merging experts, what is a True Dragon?

"If this Taiyi Daoist were to appear, at least three Dao Integration Realm cultivators could lend a hand," one cultivator remarked.

"How infuriating! With such great abilities, they actually chose to disappear into the vast sea of ​​people and walk alone towards the end of their lifespan."

The cultivators were deeply saddened. What a wonderful network of connections they had! Why didn't they know how to make use of it?

As long as Daoist Taiyi speaks up, these three would probably have already offered up the longevity elixir. Regardless of how many years they live, a lifespan of two or three thousand years would definitely be no problem!

"Perhaps this is the realm of a truly accomplished person?"

One cultivator sighed, "Having reached the pinnacle of every path, perhaps they have comprehended everything and feel that life has lost its meaning."

"Now that you've figured it out, you'll find life meaningless?" a cultivator scoffed, then sighed, "However, I truly cannot understand why Daoist Taiyi refused to extend his lifespan."

Li Changsheng watched these people discussing him without saying a word.

Taiyi Daoren was merely one of the identities he held in his long life.

Li Changsheng, Li Changjiu, Li Xuan, Xuanzang...

Any one of their identities could stir up a storm in this world.

Although Li Changjiu's identity is not well-known, his association with Bai Xian'er makes this demon king quite a sensation.

Keep a low profile, keep a low profile, don't let anyone know!

Fortunately, he ran fast; otherwise, if Liu Wuyou had gone directly to Yang Dingtian, he wouldn't have been able to escape.
