Chapter 434 The Wondrous Use of the Precious Pearl, The Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demon [Please Subscribe]

Tuyunling.

When Zhou Chun returned to Tuyunling, he discovered that Lin Hongyu had already come to oversee things.

However, thanks to the "Soul-Boosting Pill" he had given her before, Lin Wan'er's injuries have stabilized, and she has now been transferred to Tu Yunling to recuperate.

However, due to Lin Hongyu's departure, the Caiyu Mountain stronghold was left without any experts to oversee it.

But there's nothing we can do about it. The Zhou family's high-end combat power is limited right now, and without Zhou Daoquan, they simply can't manage everything.

For now, the only thing we can do is to reduce the area where the monks are active and prevent them from going to unexplored places.

After paying his respects to Lin Hongyu, Zhou Chun returned to his cave dwelling.

After returning to his cave, he immediately took out the "Hundred Illusion Pearl".

However, instead of deepening his connection with the artifact and refining it further, he erased the divine imprint he had left inside.

Immediately afterwards, he patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist, released the Thunder Dragon Bai Bai, and then threw the "Hundred Illusion Pearl" to it.

Following Zhou Chun's instructions, Lei Jiao swallowed the "Hundred Illusion Pearl" whole and poured his own magic power into the artifact.

Then, the four white dragon claws of the Thunder Dragon quickly disappeared and vanished, its tail transformed into a python's tail, and its head reverted to the snake head it had before transforming into a dragon.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun burst into laughter, "Hahaha, my guess was right! This 'Hundred Illusion Pearl' can indeed be used by demonic beasts!"

It turned out that after he personally experienced the transformative power of the "Hundred Illusion Pearl," he keenly discovered that the changes this magical artifact made to its owner's form and even aura were entirely due to its own transformative power, rather than the influence of the owner's magical power.

The magic power that the master infuses into it only serves an assimilation function, allowing the magical power within the artifact to merge and assimilate with the master's magic power.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, even a demon beast like Lei Jiao Bai Bai could use this magic artifact.

That's why, as soon as he returned to his cave, he immediately summoned Lei Jiao Bai Bai to help him verify his theory.

Judging from the current results, his guess was clearly correct.

Lei Jiao successfully concealed his dragon characteristics by using the illusionary power of the "Hundred Illusion Pearl".

In this way, as long as Zhou Chun doesn't release the Thunder Flood Dragon Bai Bai in front of those Golden Core cultivators with spiritual eye abilities, he won't have to tie his own hands like before.

After all, a third-tier thunder dragon is very eye-catching, but a third-tier thunder python is not so surprising.

"Hmm, whether the 'Hundred Illusion Pearl' is as reliable as my aunt says, we still need to verify it with Elder Lin."

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun immediately rode the Thunder Python and flew towards Lin Hongyu's secluded cultivation place.

At this time, many Zhou family cultivators had already migrated from Jiufeng Ridge to Tuyun Ridge, and Zhou Chun's flight on a python easily attracted a lot of attention.

Soon, all the Zhou family cultivators in Tu Yunling learned that the clan leader's Silver Lightning Python had broken through to the third level, but had not transformed into a dragon as everyone had hoped!

This matter brought both joy and regret to all the Zhou family cultivators who knew about it.

The good news is that the family has gained another third-tier combatant, but the bad news is that the Silver Lightning Python has completely lost the chance to transform into a dragon. The dream of having two dragons in the family can only remain a dream!

Lei Mang's act of blatantly displaying his power naturally attracted the attention of Lin Hongyu and Zhou Mingde, who were cultivating on Tu Yun Ridge.

Both of them knew about Lei Jiao Bai Bai's background. When they saw Lei Mang Bai Bai, they were slightly taken aback. Then, Zhou Chun was called into the cave by Lin Hongyu for a talk.

"Zhengchun, how did you do that? I've already used several methods to investigate, but I couldn't find anything unusual about Lei Jiao. How did you manage to do this?"

Inside the cave, Lin Hongyu looked at Zhou Chun with a face full of surprise and asked, feeling very astonished by this matter.

After all, she was a Golden Core cultivator. Now that she knew Lei Jiao Bai Bai's background, she still couldn't find anything unusual. How could this not surprise her greatly?

If Zhou Chun is her enemy, doesn't that mean that even if she disguises herself as someone else and infiltrates her side, she won't notice anything unusual?

After hearing Lin Hongyu's words, Zhou Chun smiled with satisfaction and said, "Hehehe, I'm relieved to hear Elder Lin say that."

After saying that, he recounted how he encountered the "Nebula Clam" and how he cultivated the "Hundred Illusion Pearl".

After listening to his explanation, Lin Hongyu nodded with a look of sudden realization and said, "So that's how it is! It was a disguise using the illusionary magic. No wonder even I was fooled!"

At this point, she looked thoughtful and muttered to herself, "It seems I'll have to cultivate another spiritual eye technique in the future!"

As a Golden Core cultivator, she naturally didn't want to have any obvious flaws.

Now that she has discovered that she cannot even see through Lei Jiao Bai Bai's illusionary abilities, she inevitably feels a sense of crisis and wants to make up for this deficiency.

But in fact, both she and Zhou Chun knew that the Spirit Eye Divine Power was not so easy to cultivate.

Firstly, advanced methods for cultivating spiritual eye abilities are rare. Secondly, most advanced spiritual eye abilities are difficult to cultivate, requiring either rare spiritual objects for assistance or a very long period of persistent and arduous practice.

Therefore, even among Golden Core cultivators, very few can truly achieve anything in the realm of spiritual vision.

After explaining the situation to Lin Hongyu and Zhou Mingde, who arrived shortly afterward, Zhou Chun returned to his cave to cultivate in peace.

Although Zhou Chun was focused on cultivating in seclusion at Tu Yunling, he had not completely let go of family affairs.

On this day, both Foundation Establishment cultivators, Xu Fu and Zhou Xinheng, were summoned to Zhou Chun's place of cultivation.

"I have summoned you two here today because there is an important matter that requires your joint efforts to accomplish."

Inside the cave, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Zhou family, who had just finished their greetings, hurriedly replied upon hearing Zhou Chun's words, "Please give your instructions, Clan Chief."

"Now that the demonic cultivators of the Yuanmo Realm are rampaging through Feng Kingdom, the Corpse Demon Sect has completely sided with the Yuanmo Realm and is now the common enemy of our Tianling Immortal Cultivation World. We no longer need to be polite to them."

"Therefore, I intend for you two to lead the cultivation of swarms of corpse moths, as a means for my Zhou family cultivators to defeat our enemies!"

Zhou Chun looked at the two juniors with a serious expression and solemnly stated his plans.

Both men were slightly startled upon hearing this, but quickly replied, "Yes, your subordinates will certainly live up to the clan leader's expectations!"

"This matter must be kept secret; it cannot be carried out too openly!"

Zhou Chun thought for a moment, then added another word of advice, still feeling a little uneasy.

After the two understood the implications and took their leave, he muttered to himself, "The Corpse Moth is effective against Corpse Refining, Heavenly Thunder is effective against Yin Ghost Demons, the Beast Demon Palace and Blood Bone Sect are not to be feared, that leaves only the Valley of Bewitching Love!"

If a workman wants to be good, he must first sharpen his weapon.

If possible, Zhou Chun naturally didn't want to fight an unprepared battle.

The supernatural abilities of demonic cultivators are indeed strange and difficult to deal with, but compared to the five elements magic and supernatural abilities commonly used by immortal cultivators, there are also relatively obvious ways to counter them.

The only difference lies in whether or not a countermeasure can be found!

For Zhou Chun, the only thing he was worried about now was the bewitching and seductive arts of the Valley of Bewitching Love.

His own spiritual sense was indeed much stronger than that of other cultivators of the same level, but the Bewitching Divine Power of the Valley of Bewitching Love was also truly formidable, and many late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators found it difficult to resist.

Only those cultivators who have practiced the Mind-Clearing and Concentrating Mystery Technique are unaffected.

However, such secret techniques are usually kept secret by major sects and are not easily obtained.

It's somewhat unrealistic for Zhou Chun to obtain such a secret technique now.

"It seems I still need to focus more on the 'God-Slaying Technique.' This technique itself can help refine divine consciousness, and even if I can't condense a God-Slaying Sword, it can still enhance my resistance to those bewitching and seductive arts!"

Rubbing his forehead, Zhou Chun quickly cleared his mind of distractions and entered a meditative state.

Time passed slowly, and the war between the Yuanmo Legion and the Tianling Legion, just as most cultivators had expected, remained lukewarm and did not involve cultivators above the Golden Core stage much.

It seems that both sides' leaders have the intention of training their troops, wanting to use the fighting among the cultivators below to refine and train a truly capable and powerful army.

In these constant small-scale wars, quite a few cultivators did indeed stand out and gradually make a name for themselves.

For example, the Yuanmo Legion has two lists: "Seven Yuanmo Fiends" and "Nine Yuanmo Sons".

Among them, the "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demon" are seven cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage. They are the seven cultivators with the most battle achievements in the Purple Mansion stage of the Primordial Demon Legion, and each of them has supernatural abilities that surpass those of other Purple Mansion stage cultivators.

The "Nine Sons of the Primordial Demon" are the most outstanding Foundation Establishment cultivators among the nine members of the Primordial Demon Legion, and they are ranked according to their battle merits.

For cultivators of the Yuanmo Legion, being able to join the "Seven Yuanmo Fiends" and the "Nine Yuanmo Sons" brings both fame and fortune. They not only gain immense renown but also receive rewards from their own sects and the higher-ups of the Yuanmo Legion.

Those rewards even included spiritual items that aided in Core Formation and those that aided in Opening the Purple Mansion.

Therefore, ever since these two lists appeared, the cultivators in the Yuanmo Legion who were capable of competing for a spot on the list have been going all out to hunt down Tianling Legion cultivators to gain merit.

In response to this situation, the Heavenly Spirit Legion naturally would not back down.

Thus, the lists of "Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirits" and "Ten Outstanding Figures of Heavenly Spirits" quickly appeared.

Among them, the "Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirit" naturally correspond to the "Seven Fiends of Primordial Demons." They are the seven cultivators with the highest battle achievements among all the Purple Mansion stage cultivators in the entire Heavenly Spirit Legion. These seven not only possess powerful cultivation and supernatural abilities, but also have various treasures bestowed upon them by their superiors.

The "Ten Outstanding Talents of Heavenly Spirits" correspond to the "Nine Sons of the Primordial Demon," and are the ten most outstanding Foundation Establishment cultivators in the entire Heavenly Spirit Legion.

To enhance competitiveness, cultivators who obtain these titles must find ways to improve their combat achievements and avoid being surpassed by others.

If they can hold onto this title for more than a month, they will receive various rewards from the legion's higher-ups.

Meanwhile, in the Tianling realm, the reputation and achievements of the "Seven Heroes of Tianling" and the "Ten Outstanding Talents of Tianling" spread far and wide, and they quickly became the most prominent figures in the cultivation world of various countries, gaining the admiration, envy, and jealousy of countless cultivators.

Seeing this, many cultivators who were eager for fame began to actively sign up for the Heavenly Spirit Legion, hoping to be ranked among its members.

Even Zhou Chun, who was in seclusion during his cultivation, had considered it.

With his abilities, if he truly strives to compete, he could very well become one of the "Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirits".

But ultimately, considering all factors, he gave up the idea and continued to focus on his cultivation, watching the changing tides of the battlefield.

Not only that, he also stopped those Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Zhou family who wanted to go to the battlefield to gain a false reputation.

These younger cultivators are ignorant and arrogant, and easily act impulsively. As their elders, they cannot just watch these younger generations go to their deaths.

However, Zhou Chun did not stop those family Qi Refining stage cultivators who wanted to go to the battlefield to try their luck in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Although the Zhou family is not short of Foundation Establishment Pills, it is impossible for them to take care of everyone.

Many Qi Refining stage cultivators who do not have the support of their elders have no chance of accumulating enough family merits to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills on their own. In such cases, they might as well go to the battlefield to fight for a future.

After all, on the battlefield, not only can killing enemies bring rewards and merits, but you can also obtain spoils from the enemy.

Don't assume that magical artifacts used by demonic cultivators are worthless just because immortal cultivators can't use them.

In reality, while the two sides were fighting, the selfish and profit-seeking nature of cultivators could not be changed.

There are quite a few "black markets" in Feng Kingdom now. In those "black markets", magical artifacts of demonic cultivators can be sold for spirit coins, and vice versa.

Even if the higher-ups on both sides knew about this, they could only turn a blind eye.

As a result, quite a few independent cultivators and family cultivators who joined the army did indeed succeed in defying fate and successfully established their foundation on the battlefield.

Therefore, if a Qi Refining stage cultivator from the Zhou family is truly determined to go to the battlefield and defy fate, Zhou Chun will not only not stop him, but will also bestow upon him talismans and pills as assistance.

……

Fengguo, Green Forest Valley.

This place was originally the mountain gate of a certain immortal cultivation family in Feng Kingdom. After the establishment of the Heavenly Spirit Legion, it became the garrison of a large legion unit, where more than three hundred legion cultivators were stationed.

Over the years, Green Forest Valley has been attacked by demonic cultivators many times, but it has always stood firm and remained firmly under the control of the Heavenly Spirit Legion.

On this day, Green Forest Valley, which had survived countless battles, was once again attacked by a large army of demonic cultivators.

Amidst the lush green mountains, demonic cultivators were seen either hovering in the air or standing atop trees and rocks, each employing every means to launch a fierce attack on the Green Forest Valley, whose protective array was fully activated.

In terms of numbers, these demonic cultivators were not too numerous, not exceeding three hundred.

However, among them were dozens of cultivators from the Corpse Demon Cult, and the number of corpses they controlled and drove exceeded one hundred.

It must be said that this war in the cultivation world is an excellent opportunity for demonic forces like the Corpse Demon Sect to enhance their strength.

The corpses of cultivators who died on the battlefield, as long as they remained in a certain degree of good condition, would be collected and used to refine them into corpses.

Therefore, the Corpse Demon Cult cultivators became essential members of the demonic cultivators when attacking strongholds, and those corpse refiners were the best cannon fodder!

This time was no exception.

Under the attack of a large number of corpse-refining cultivators and demonic cultivators, the protective array of Green Forest Valley quickly began to shake.

"Quickly, fellow cultivators practicing fire-based techniques, focus your attacks on those corpse-refining creatures! Let's wipe out all these damned things first!"

"Fellow Daoists with thunder talismans and those who know lightning spells, get ready first. Wait until those damned Yin ghosts and demons appear before you make your move. You absolutely cannot let them break into the formation!"

"Reserve team, get ready! Go immediately if any danger arises!"

Inside Green Forest Valley, the commander of the Heavenly Spirit Legion, who was stationed there, was manipulating the formation to resist the attack of the demons outside, while also methodically directing his subordinate cultivators to make various responses.

As they fought against the demonic cultivators more and more, and gained a better understanding of their methods, the veterans of the Heavenly Spirit Legion developed a set of countermeasures.

Therefore, despite the fierce attack from the enemy, the commander of the Heavenly Spirit Legion remained calm and composed, continuing to give orders.

He knew very well that although the protective formation of Green Forest Valley seemed to have been shaken, it could still hold out for another hour without much trouble.

Before the demonic cultivators surrounded Green Forest Valley, he had already used several methods to call for help from his allies in the surrounding area. It wouldn't be long before reinforcements arrived to help him repel the enemy.

Not only did the commander of the Heavenly Spirit Legion think this way, but Zhou Jiahe, who had served on the battlefield for ten years, also thought so.

After ten years of fighting, Zhou Jiahe's cultivation has actually improved, and he has entered the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

At the same time, she had already become a squad leader several years ago and was transferred to Green Forest Valley to guard the area.

In the past ten years of battles, Zhou Jiahe's men have killed three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Demonic Path and dozens of Qi Refining cultivators of the Demonic Path, accumulating considerable merit.

It's a pity that her lifespan is less than twenty years, otherwise she really wanted to take a gamble and see if she could gather spiritual items on the battlefield to help her open her Purple Mansion!

Now, Zhou Jiahe only wants to serve for the last five years, after which she can retire honorably.

This is a policy of the Heavenly Spirit Legion for Foundation Establishment cultivators who are forced to be recruited. As long as they serve for fifteen years, they can choose to retire honorably!

Just when Zhou Jiahe and her superiors thought that today's battle would be resolved smoothly as usual, the situation suddenly changed.

This change came from a demonic cultivator, a demonic cultivator with a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivation level.

At that moment, a flash of blood-red light appeared on the horizon, and a handsome young man with a fair complexion, dressed in a blood-red robe, suddenly appeared in the sky above Green Forest Valley.

This fair-skinned young man was exceptionally handsome, but his demeanor was somewhat sinister and unlike that of a respectable person.

After revealing himself in mid-air outside Green Forest Valley, he raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist, and a blood-red banner shrouded in blood-red light appeared in his hand.

"Not good! This person is Yan Wuji, the Blood Fiend Prince, one of the 'Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demons'!"

Inside Green Forest Valley, after glancing at the pale-faced youth for a few moments, the commander of the Heavenly Spirit Legion suddenly screamed in terror.

Upon hearing these words, the once confident Heavenly Spirit Legion cultivators immediately changed their expressions, their faces turning ashen with despair, and their morale plummeted to rock bottom.

It's no wonder these people have changed so much; it's true that a person's name reflects the shadow of a tree.

Over the years, the name "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demons" has been proven by the blood of countless cultivators from the Heavenly Spirit Legion, demonstrating their power and unstoppable nature.

Although the "Blood Fiend Prince" Yan Wuji in front of us has only recently joined the "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demons" and is currently ranked seventh, he has already accumulated the lives of no less than a thousand Heavenly Spirit Legion cultivators!

It's important to understand that the longer the war lasts, the more difficult it becomes to achieve a place in the top seven in terms of military merit. Under such circumstances, the fact that "Blood Fiend Prince" Yan Wuji was able to successfully rise to the top demonstrates his formidable strength.

At this point, Zhou Jiahe and the others were completely unaware that their Green Forest Valley had become the target of "Blood Fiend Prince" Yan Wuji's campaign to gain merits, and that the other party had come prepared.

Soon, they witnessed the power of this "Bloodthirsty Prince"!

The pale-faced youth, Yan Wuji, tossed the blood-red banner in his hand into the air, made a hand seal, and spat out a mouthful of blood essence towards it.

Instantly, the crimson banner that had absorbed his essence released a large cloud of crimson mist, which then drifted over Green Forest Valley.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Wuji drew a magic seal, and countless fist-sized blood-red light orbs flew down from the blood cloud, raining down on the protective array of Green Forest Valley.

After these crimson light orbs landed on the protective shield of the mountain-protecting formation, they directly corroded holes in the shield.

Although the holes will soon be repaired by the power of the formation, this will greatly accelerate the depletion of the formation's power.

The formation that could originally hold for an hour may now not even last a quarter of an hour!

Upon seeing this, the demonic cultivators were greatly encouraged and began to fawn over the "Blood Fiend Prince" by shouting slogans such as "Young Master is mighty" and "Blood Fiend is invincible."

In contrast, the cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Legion in Green Forest Valley were all ashen-faced and filled with despair.

Finally, it was the commander who came to his senses first. After a series of changes in his expression, he suddenly shouted loudly, "Fellow Daoists, it seems we will all perish here today. It is my great fortune to have fought alongside you all in this life, to kill the enemy together. I hope that in our next life we ​​will have the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation again and reunite!"

As soon as the shout fell, the man planted the array flag in his hand to the side and immediately made a hand seal to unleash a forbidden technique that burned his essence, blood, and soul to enhance his magical power.

Upon seeing this, the other cultivators were initially taken aback, but many of them then followed suit.

The same applies to Zhou Jiahe.

At this moment, they all knew that rather than waiting for the formation to break, for their souls to be seized and refined into Yin ghosts and demons, and their bodies to be refined into corpses, it was better to take advantage of the formation while it still existed, burn themselves out, and fight with all their might. Killing one demonic cultivator would be a bonus, and after death, they would not have to worry about being used by demonic cultivators to harm their relatives and friends!

I'm so tired. I feel really tired today. It's probably because it's too hot!
