Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 66 Willow World Law

Time flies, and two years have passed.

Li Changsheng settled down in Tianshui City, refining weapons and pills for his shop.

For each bottle of pills refined, a low-grade True Essence Pill will be awarded as a reward.

His alchemy skills are quite good; he has never failed so far, and he is very popular with the shops.

The weapon-refining technique, Fengyun Extreme Refining, is a top-tier weapon-refining method even in Tianshui City.

Thanks to the True Essence Pill he obtained, he had already entered the mid-Foundation Establishment stage a year ago. Even the late-Foundation Establishment stage could not break through his defenses.

He exchanged the materials he used for refining weapons and stored them all. He also traded two incomplete cultivation manuals.

Although incomplete, it is still a Golden Elixir chapter, and it is somewhat stronger than the Spirit Void Profound Technique.

The Foundation Building and Dao Cultivation Yuanjin Liquid, the Golden Elixir Chapter, is about the transformation of the golden liquid into a golden elixir.

However, it is not as simple as just condensing into a golden core. A golden core is the condensation of a cultivator's Dao essence, energy, and spirit.

The Golden Elixir is everything to a cultivator; it is the culmination of their cultivation.

He felt it resembled the path of ancient demon runes, which were formed from one's own cultivation methods and insights.

This golden core is formed through one's own cultivation.

Of course, the Golden Elixir is still inferior to the Ancient Demon Runes.

Humans can also condense Dao patterns through cultivation, something that the Golden Core stage cannot achieve.

Over the past two years, Li Changsheng had also been keeping an eye on news about Huang Pao and his group, but unfortunately, he hadn't been able to find out anything.

  

I've heard that there's a terrifying tree demon that devours people's blood, energy, and cultivation; it's bizarre and frightening.

These humans didn't know exactly what kind of tree spirit it was.

According to rumors, there was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator who died at the hands of a tree demon and became fertilizer.

Li Changsheng arrived at the alchemy shop as usual to help refine pills.

The two alchemists inside the shop were discussing the tree spirit.

Li Changsheng was already familiar with them; their names were Liu Quan and Wu Feng.

Liu Quan was rather thin, with a black mole on the corner of his mouth.

Wu Feng, on the other hand, was heavily pregnant and looked quite wealthy.

"Tsk, that tree demon is really terrifying. Two more Foundation Establishment stage cultivators have died," Liu Quan said.

Wu Feng sighed, "Yes, I heard that the tree demon has only been in Tianshui City for two years, and at the beginning it was just a small demon in the Qi Refining Realm."

Listening to their conversation, Li Changsheng asked, "Hasn't that tree demon been caught yet?"

"It's not that easy. That tree demon is terrifying. I heard it has allied itself with the Moon Gazing Demon King."

Liu Quan said, "Tsk, ever since the battle two years ago, the Moon Gazing Demon King has become famous and is making a name for himself in the Northern Heavenly River."

"I heard that Wangyue was even summoned by the Northern Dragon Lord, so he probably learned some skills," Wu Feng chimed in.

Li Changsheng sighed softly, "With Wangyue protecting it, that tree demon should be difficult to capture."

"Not necessarily."

Liu Quan laughed and said, "Wang Yue has gone too far lately. We can't control what he does in the river, but if he wants to go ashore, it will affect the interests of the city."

"Looking at the moon, you want to go ashore?" Li Changsheng asked in surprise.

"We've only heard about it," Liu Quan thought for a moment and said, "We heard that Wangyue wants to come ashore, occupy a hilltop, and build some kind of Toad King Palace."

Wu Feng scoffed, "Toads are all talk and no action, they don't know their own limitations."

The saying "a toad yawning has quite a boast" aptly describes Wangyue, the toad.

However, Wangyue is quite cautious and should not lose his mind to compete with the Golden Core cultivators of Tianshui City for benefits.

Unless, what is Wangyue relying on, the Blood Lotus Demonic Sect?

Li Changsheng stopped talking and went to the alchemy room to refine pills.

One batch after another of low-grade True Essence Pills were refined. In one day, ten batches were completed, and he obtained a bottle of pills.

Liu Quan and Wu Feng, on the other hand, only refined six or seven batches.

They were alchemists in the shop, receiving a fixed monthly salary and having plenty of cultivation resources, so they didn't work as hard as Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng took the pills and left the house, returning to his residence.

Tianshui City remains lively at night, brightly lit and bustling with vendors.

The stalls mainly sell monster corpses or harvested medicinal herbs.

Li Changsheng didn't linger and was about to quickly return to the courtyard when a short figure in the crowd caught his attention.

Dressed in a black robe, completely covered up, he weaved through the crowd as if in a hurry to leave. Occasionally, a wisp of white fur would peek out from his sleeve when someone brushed against him.

This aura is familiar too, Erbai!

This rabbit spirit, coming into the city so late at night?

Moreover, they were so careless; they were already being watched without even realizing it.

Erbai quickly left the crowd and headed towards a less crowded street, with two figures in the shadows chasing after him.

After changing directions several times, Erbai arrived at a courtyard house and pushed open the door to enter.

Two figures swiftly slipped into the crowd without making a sound.

Erbai came into the courtyard, picked up a carrot, and started munching on it.

After confirming that there were no other monsters in the courtyard, the two figures attacked simultaneously, their magic swords slashing at Erbai.

Erbai's expression changed drastically. Both of these people were Foundation Establishment cultivators, and it was simply not something that a mere Qi Refining demon like it could withstand.

Just as they were filled with terror, ripples appeared in the void, and two golden beams pierced through their bodies.

A flash of golden light streaked past, carrying Erbai and the other two into the ground.

"Erbai, why are you alone? And you dare to come into the city?"

Deep underground, Li Changsheng looked at Erbai with a serious expression: "Where are Liu Wuyou and Huang Pao?"

"Second, Second Uncle?"

Erbai, still shaken, was overjoyed when he saw him clearly: "Second Uncle, it's so good to see you! The Yellow-Robed King and Granny Liu have missed you terribly."

Two human cultivators lay unconscious to the side.

"I've been in Tianshui City, but I didn't know how to find you," Li Changsheng said. "Are Wuyou and Huangpao alright?"

"Everything is fine. Grandma Liu has even infiltrated Wangyue's side and become her subordinate."

Erbai said, "We are all fine now, but Grandma Liu is not doing well."

"What's wrong with Liu Wuyou?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Grandma Liu's cultivation went wrong. She said she tried to imitate the runes you imprinted on her, but she failed and got injured. She absorbed a lot of demons before she recovered a little."

Erbai Road.

"There's a problem with your cultivation? Wait, you're currently under the control of the Moon Gazing Demon King and have absorbed a lot of demons?" Li Changsheng was taken aback.

Is Liu Wuyou the tree demon that Liu Quan and the others are talking about?

Kill the one in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage?

Is Liu Wuyou that strong?

"Yes, the Moon-Gazing Demon King doesn't know us either. We suffered too many casualties in the previous battle, so the Moon-Gazing Demon King recruited demon soldiers. We gave it a try, and it actually worked."

Erbai said, "Grandma Liu is very powerful. She has improved very quickly with the Myriad Spirits Returning to Origin Technique. However, when she was cultivating some kind of world law, the imprinted runes had a problem. The King sent me to buy healing medicine."

The Ultimate Guide to the Origin of All Spirits!

He knew about absorbing people's essence, and he also strengthened his own method of refining the essence of flesh and blood.

But what the hell is this world's law?

Is Liu Wuyou really planning to cultivate three thousand great worlds?

She even imitated herself, branding herself with runes?

"Where is she now?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Grandma Liu led us to occupy the hilltop outside the city, and the whole mountain is ours," Erbai said, raising his head. "It's bigger than our previous territory."

"Take me there and have a look." Li Changsheng sighed softly, "She's really taking a risk. Imprinting runes, she probably doesn't even understand the principles behind it, she's just doing it blindly."

"Grandma Liu also said that if Second Uncle were here, that would be great. Now that we've met Second Uncle, Grandma Liu will definitely be alright," Erbai said excitedly.

"Do you know these two people?" Li Changsheng asked.

"I don't know him," Erbai said, shaking his head.

Li Changsheng woke the two up and asked them some questions. He learned that the two had only discovered Erbai's identity and wanted to capture the demon.

Although Erbai was wrapped up tightly, his aura was not perfectly concealed, and the occasional glimpses of white fur still made him noticeable.

"Don't be so reckless in the future. Let me deal with these two corpses first," Li Changsheng said.

"Second Uncle, let me handle this. I have the venom of the man-eating flower, which can turn the corpse into blood," Erbai said hurriedly.

"The venom of the man-eating flower will leave traces, and it won't be good if someone finds out. I have a friend who specializes in disposing of corpses. You wait here," Li Changsheng said.

After saying that, he left without giving Erbai a chance to speak again.

These are two Foundation Establishment cultivators; it would be a waste to simply neutralize them with the poison of the man-eating flower.

By refining the essence of flesh and blood, one can further improve one's physical strength.

They didn't go too far, but burrowed deeper underground. Roots sprouted from their hands, and the two corpses quickly decomposed.

Inside their storage bags were four bottles of low-grade True Essence Pills, two bottles of Healing Pills, an Antidote Pill, and some Great Qian Coins.

It can be considered a good harvest.

They took Erbai with them and quietly left Tianshui City, disappearing underground to head to the mountaintop.

Ten miles outside Tianshui City, there are continuous mountain ranges, through which the Beitian River flows into the sea.

It's a small hill, a bit bigger than the previous one, but not by much.

Liu Wuyou is currently only a Foundation Establishment demon, and cannot yet occupy a major mountain stronghold near Tianshui City.

There were soldiers patrolling at the foot of the mountain, and the plants and trees on the mountain were arranged in formation, which looked quite impressive.

Li Changsheng changed his clothes, dressed in black and masked, and followed Erbai into the mountain.

There were two wooden houses on the mountain. Huang Pao paced back and forth at the door, looking troubled.

Upon seeing Erbai return, the man in the yellow robe hurriedly came forward to greet him: "Erbai, you're finally back! This is...!"

He looked at Li Changsheng and frowned.

Li Changsheng pulled off his mask: "It's me."

"Second Master?!" The man in the yellow robe trembled and bowed excitedly, saying, "Second Master, it's so good to see you again! I thought I would never see you again."

squeak

The door to the wooden house was opened, and a branch peeked out.

"Immortality?" Liu Wuyou's voice rang out, filled with surprise.

Li Changsheng walked towards the wooden house, branches brushing against his cheeks.

"I heard from Erbai that you were injured. What happened?" Li Changsheng asked.

"I tried to imprint the Five Elements Array, but I failed."

Liu Wuyou said, "I remember when you branded the runes on me, but this time it failed."

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng understood what was going on and wanted to learn his method.

But this is not something that can be done easily, and Liu Wuyou doesn't even know what the situation is.

Fortunately, it only injured my body; I didn't end up doing anything as dangerous as practicing true fire body tempering.

"Take the healing pills first," Li Changsheng said.

Liu Wuyou swayed the branches: "I've already taken the medicine, and my injuries are stable. You can examine me now."

Li Changsheng nodded, circulated his spiritual power, and probed Liu Wuyou's body.

Huang Pao and Er Bai stood guard outside.

With his spiritual energy circulating, Liu Wuyou's injuries weren't too bad; he just needed to rest for a while.

However, during his investigation, he discovered that Liu Wuyou's leaves all contained abundant power, and one of the leaves contained particularly strong power.

That leaf was like another dantian, storing Dao Yuan (essence).

Although this amount of Dao Yuan was less than one percent of what was stored in Liu Wuyou's tree trunk, it was still very strong.

Especially that leaf, its roots and veins were extremely solid, like a magical artifact.

Liu Wuyou's expulsion was also extremely forceful, only slightly weaker than his.

What kind of magic did Liu Wuyou cultivate in the past two years?

How many lives did it devour?

After Li Changsheng finished his investigation, he sat cross-legged to the side and said, "This branding formation is actually something I made by imitating ancient demon runes."

"Ancient demon runes?" Liu Wuyou asked in confusion.

"Indeed, the stone figure and its finger bear ancient demonic runes..."

Li Changsheng explained his thoughts: "You don't understand yourself enough, and randomly imprinting things will only lead to failure."

"So that's how it is." Liu Wuyou suddenly realized, "No wonder my attempt to imprint the Five Elements Array failed."

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​the Five Elements Imprint Array?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Because the world is based on the five elements, and I take myself as the world, I should be imprinted with the five elements array."

Liu Wuyou said, "Although we have built the foundation of heaven and earth, it is not enough to support more worlds. The Five Elements Array is a very good foundation to open up new worlds."

Li Changsheng: "??"

You truly intend to traverse the three thousand worlds?

That's really just a passage from a Buddhist scripture, not a method of practice!

"Immortality." Liu Wuyou said in an almost manic tone, "I have found it. My method will surely bring true peace of mind in the future."

"Well... I can only congratulate you this time." Li Changsheng didn't try to dampen his spirits this time.

Since Liu Wuyou has made her decision, let her go.

You can also take this as a reference and refine yourself from head to toe.

"Chang Sheng, I'd like to discuss something with you," Liu Wuyou said.

"What are we discussing?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Let's explore the path of cultivation." Liu Wuyou said in a low voice, "Water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, and metal generates water, thus the five elements generate each other."

"I need the method of mutual generation of the five elements to comprehend the Five Elements Array and construct my own world."

"Only with the foundation of the five elements can it be stable. The leaf I tried to refine failed because it could not be stable."

Li Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "I can find some methods for the mutual generation of the five elements for you, but visualizing another world is still quite difficult."

He just checked and found that Liu Wuyou had not yet mastered the World Law; he had only attempted to cultivate by refining tree leaves, but failed.

This search for the Five Elements Formation is probably just an experiment.

"I know it's difficult, but that's okay. There's no specific method; it's all about exploring and trying."

Liu Wuyou said, "In the past two years, I have been collecting teachings, but unfortunately, I have not been able to find any more teachings by eminent monks. However, I have collected quite a few other cultivation methods."

"High monk, alas." Li Changsheng shook his head and said, "Such beings are too far removed from us; we can only hear rumors about them."

"By the way, relying on the Myriad Spirits Return to Origin Technique and some incomplete methods, I have researched a new method."

Liu Wuyou continued, "It can quickly refine blood essence, pills, and even a person's cultivation level. I call it the Spirit Transformation Method."

"It can even refine a person's cultivation level? A Spirit Transformation Technique?"

"Yes, it refines all living beings, hence the name Spirit Transformation Technique."

Li Changsheng: "..."

Are you thinking that when you have the ability in the future, you will refine the whole world?

But how did you come up with the idea of ​​refining a person's cultivation level?

Liu Wuyou said, "It's a pity that other people's cultivation is not one's own, so it can't be converted much. About ten people's cultivation is equivalent to one low-grade True Essence Pill."

"At least you can improve, which is not bad," Li Changsheng said.

"That's what I think too. Even a little improvement is fine, I'm not picky."

Liu Wuyou swayed the branches and said, "I will pass on the Spirit Transformation Technique to you, so you can also refine the corpses of demons. You are human, so your refining of demons should be similar to mine."

"Thank you very much." Li Changsheng did not refuse; he wanted to improve as much as possible.

After listening to Liu Wuyou's explanation of the Spirit Transformation Technique, Li Changsheng pondered and said, "Besides you and me, who else knows about this Spirit Transformation Technique?"

"No one knows, I didn't even tell the Yellow Robe," Liu Wuyou said in a low voice.

Li Changsheng nodded: "This method is unique and not yet perfected, so do not reveal it."

"Yes, as a tree spirit, I am naturally able to refine flesh and blood as nourishment, so most people wouldn't notice anything unusual," Liu Wuyou said.
