Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 43 Have you ever heard of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Demon King?

"According to our investigation, the Moon Gazing Demon King came specifically to ask Niu Wendao."

Kong Zhao said gravely, "Niu Wendao, this ancient demon, is a great tonic for demons. If we can devour him, the Moon Gazing Demon King might be able to directly enter the Golden Elixir Rejuvenation stage."

"Niu Wendao is truly a treasure." Li Changsheng smiled, but in his heart he was thinking of Changchun.

Changchun has half-demon blood; does he also want to devour Niu Wendao?

"Of course he's a treasure," Kong Zhao said. "If nurtured properly, he'll definitely become a great power in the future."

"By the way, what method do you plan to use to lure them away?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Naturally, we'll have someone impersonate you to attract them," Liu Qingyue said.

"That's indeed a good idea," Li Changsheng said with a smile. "You guys haven't done this before?"

Now that Han Jiuyuan is gone, I guess no one is keeping an eye on me anymore, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

"Without your consent, of course not, and besides, if you suddenly appear, this fake will be exposed."

Kong Zhao said, "If Niu Wendao really comes looking for you, he might find one of our people."

"Let's do it that way then," Li Changsheng said. "I'm going back to the blacksmith's shop now."

The ox felt a sense of closeness when it asked him questions, but not with others.

Hiring someone to impersonate him might fool others, but it won't fool Niu Wendao.

He returned to the blacksmith's shop and continued his underground training.

With the resources provided by Han Jiuyuan, he was able to go into seclusion for a while longer.

Li Qingyue and Kong Zhao also arranged for people to impersonate Li Changsheng.

He found a blacksmith shop in the city and started forging and hammering weapons.

The next day, his blacksmith shop was indeed ignored.

With the blacksmith shop no longer under surveillance, Li Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and could now focus on his cultivation.

He also went to take a look at the fake Li Changsheng's side and found that there were indeed a few people there. Those people did not question the fake Li Changsheng, but just stared at him.

They knew Niu Wendao was still outside, and their surveillance of all those involved was merely a precaution.

It must be said that Qingxuan Cave Heaven's methods of disguise are quite impressive.

None of those watching noticed anything amiss.

Li Changsheng rapidly refined the essence of flesh and blood, and the superior-grade Qi Refining Pill, completely immersed in cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

He reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining, and his body tempering also broke through the limit, making further progress. Even a low-grade Foundation Establishment magic weapon couldn't cut him!

Thank you so much, Han Jiuyuan!

The elixirs and essence of flesh and blood have all been exhausted.

  

He waited until nightfall, then used his magic to go underground and inquire about Liu Qingyue and Niu Wendao's situation.

Niu Wendao returned to Lingxu Cave Heaven to find his fellow disciples, but was ambushed. The people of Qingxuan Cave Heaven secretly helped him out.

Now, they don't know where Niu Wen has fled to, only that he is near Zhongyang City.

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng said nothing and returned to the blacksmith's shop.

If Niu Wendao were to continue his cultivation, he would no longer receive attention if something truly happened to him.

However, he didn't want Niu Wendao to get into trouble, after all, the calf had been very good to him.

But now, I am powerless to do anything. I will wait for hundreds of years, then dig up the graves of the Moon Gazing Demon King and the others to avenge Niu Duzi.

Without further thought, he activated the Lingxu Profound Technique and continued his cultivation. The next step was to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Time flies, and another three days have passed.

That evening, while Li Changsheng was cultivating underground, a weak figure entered the blacksmith's shop.

Its lower body has cow hooves, two human arms, and a cow's head.

He arrived at the blacksmith's shop and carefully searched the interior, but found nothing, which made him somewhat disappointed.

"Chang Sheng, you're not here anymore?" Niu asked in a low voice.

Buzz

The ground churned, and Niu Wendao's gaze turned cold as he clenched his fists.

But the next moment, a sense of closeness made him feel relieved, and his eyes lit up with joy: "Chang Sheng (meaning "immortality")."

Li Changsheng emerged from underground and quietly looked at the ox, asking a question.

At this moment, Niu asked, his clothes were tattered, his body was covered with wounds, and his eyes were full of exhaustion. Where was his previous high spirits?

Without saying much, he took the ox and disappeared underground.

"Chang Sheng, thanks to you, I was able to survive because you gave me more ways to protect myself."

Once underground, Niu asked, then slumped down and said, "I have nothing left now, and I'm being hunted down. I can't give you your elder position."

Li Changsheng's lips twitched. "I really thank you for still thinking of making me an elder."

"So what do you plan to do? Why not take this opportunity to return to the demon race?" Li Changsheng said.

"Demons? No, I can't stand this!"

Niu Wendao's eyes were filled with hatred: "It's all Changchun's fault, and that Moon Gazing Demon King's fault too! They've ruined me!"

"Can't stand this? What can you do about it?"

Li Changsheng said calmly, "With your mere Qi Refining stage, how could you possibly deal with a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators? Your master can't even leave the Spirit Void Cave Heaven now, let alone avenge you."

"I can't do anything to them right now, but their pursuit has actually awakened my inner strength!"

Niu Wen said in a deep voice, "In less than two years, I will definitely be able to enter the Foundation Establishment stage. At that time, I will be able to kill Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"And then?" Li Changsheng asked.

"I'll kill them one by one from the shadows, wipe them all out!" Niu asked through gritted teeth.

"Do you think you can survive for two years under their pursuit if you don't flee?"

Li Changsheng frowned and said, "Listen to me, patience brings peace, and taking a step back opens up a vast sky."

"Chang Sheng, I know you mean well. You used to advise me to be patient and keep a low profile, but I didn't understand. Now I do."

Niu asked in a deep voice, then changed the subject, saying, "I also want to endure it, but the more I endure, the angrier I get. I want to ask Changyun why he betrayed me."

"Long-term operation?" Li Changsheng frowned.

"Yes, my senior brother from the weapon-making lineage, that night when we were fighting the demons, my iron rod broke, and Changyun helped me forge it again."

Niu Wen asked hatefully, "Only he could poison my magical artifact after touching it."

"Right now, how can you possibly have the strength to seek longevity?" Li Changsheng said calmly.

"Chang Sheng, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. I've come here to tell you something."

Niu asked in a low voice, "If I die, I will go to the tree under the Green Willow Courtyard. You will extract my blood and refine it into ox blood. You will then obtain my bloodline. Remember to sprinkle some leaves on it; I love to eat them."

"What are you talking about?" Li Changsheng glared at him and sighed, "Let me tell you a story."

"I don't listen to stories."

"The story of your ancestors."

Niu asked, his eyes wide, "My ancestor?"

"Hmm, have you ever heard of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Mighty Bull Demon King?" Li Changsheng asked.

"No, no." Niu Wendao swallowed hard and said, "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven? That sounds like a great demon king."

"A very powerful demon king, whose name is known throughout heaven and earth, whether among demons, monsters, or cultivators."

Li Changsheng said quietly, "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Demon King, with his iron cudgel, is invincible among the demon race. His name, 'Equaling Heaven,' is as great as the heavens themselves."

"Equal to the heavens..."

The ox asked in a low, murmured voice, "Is it also a blue ox?"

"Yes, I saw it in an ancient book," Li Changsheng said.

He vaguely remembered that the Bull Demon King's true form seemed to be a white bull, not a blue bull, but that didn't matter. The main point was to use this story to teach the calf to be patient.

"That Bull Demon King, at first he was just like you, without father or mother, and could only wander around, surrounded by dangers."

Li Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "The Bull Demon King was very careful and cautious, and he cultivated diligently every day."

"He was also bullied by the demons. Even though he had a strong bloodline and was extremely talented, he was too young and could only endure and cultivate in seclusion."

"Through his unremitting efforts, he finally achieved something, became the Great Demon King, killed all his enemies, and established himself as the Bull Demon King."
