He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 246 The Massacre of the Entire Family (Third Update)

Let's go back a month.

The Green Bamboo Daoist, who had been cultivating in meditation to accumulate true essence and break through to the Nascent Soul stage, suddenly opened his eyes, a worried look on his face.

"Qingfeng hasn't returned to the sect yet. Could something have happened?"

He reached the Core Formation Realm three hundred years ago. Back then, he was full of vigor and thought he was exceptionally talented, no weaker than the disciples of the major sects like Emei, Huashan, and Wutaishan, so he had no intention of taking on any disciples.

He later traveled around and realized that having good talent alone was useless. Compared with the superior cultivation conditions and resources of the disciples of those major sects, he was far inferior.

He entered the Golden Core stage after a hundred years, and then cultivated diligently for another three hundred years to reach the peak of the Golden Core stage. Before his five hundred years of lifespan ended, he could indeed reach the Nascent Soul stage, and he might break through before the age of four hundred and fifty, but he would only reach the Nascent Soul stage at most.

The further one progresses in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes. At his current cultivation speed, by the time his thousand-year lifespan is exhausted, he will probably only be at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, without even the chance to overcome the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

Dan Chenzi of Emei, who was the same age as him, reached the Golden Core stage at seventy, the Nascent Soul stage at two hundred, and achieved the Earth Immortal realm by passing the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation at less than four hundred. He was simply incomparable.

Therefore, he gave up his arduous cultivation and spent most of his time finding disciples to continue the sect's legacy.

Fortunately, perhaps it was fate, but not too far from the sect, he actually found Li Qingfeng, who was even more talented than him, in a small mountain village, and brought him back to the sect to teach him carefully.

He went out five more times after that, but the disciples he brought back were only of average talent, about the same as his three junior brothers who were still cultivating diligently.

The spiritual energy of Xiaozhushan Mountain is not strong enough to accept too many disciples. So after accepting the sixth disciple, he stopped leaving the mountain and instead focused on cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage within the sect while teaching the six disciples in his spare time.

Two years ago, Li Qingfeng, on whom he had placed the most hope, broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage after only twelve years of cultivation. He granted him permission to go home to visit his parents and settle his worldly ties. For his safety, he also bestowed upon him his magic weapon, the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl.

Unexpectedly, the agreed two-year period has now passed, and even a month has gone by, and disciple Li Qingfeng still hasn't returned to the sect.

"Mingyue, you stay here and supervise your junior brothers and sisters' cultivation. Your master will go out and see why your senior brother has not yet returned."

Still feeling uneasy, Daoist Qingzhu gave an instruction to his second disciple, then stepped on his magic treasure, Qingzhu, and flew away from the sect towards the small mountain village where he had met Li Qingfeng years ago.

The small village wasn't too far from the sect, and he flew there in less than an hour.

However, the small mountain village that once housed hundreds of people is now in ruins. According to his magical investigation, the villagers have all perished.

He also detected traces of magic from some sorcerers.

His heart skipped a beat. He immediately followed the trail and finally found a faint trace of his former magic weapon, the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl, in a grove of trees.

Based on his judgment, the village must have been extremely unlucky to have encountered a low-level demonic cultivator who was slaughtered and used to refine magical artifacts. His disciple, Li Qingfeng, discovered this and tracked them down to this forest.

He couldn't judge the outcome of their duel, but judging from Li Qingfeng's failure to return to the sect, the prognosis was probably grim.

Fortunately, he finally discovered a trace of lightning magic. His disciple Li Qingfeng did not know lightning magic, and demonic cultivators were even less likely to use it, so there must have been a third party involved, which gave him a glimmer of hope.

So he started inquiring about Li Qingfeng in the surrounding towns, villages, and even some cultivation sects, using this forest as the center.

More than a month later, there were still no clues.

However, he did hear a rumor that another peerless genius had emerged from Emei, who defeated the Blood God Child of the Blood Demon Palace. His name was also Li Qingfeng, which was the same as his disciple's.

But he knew that it was definitely not his disciple, because his disciple was only in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, not an Emei disciple, and could not possibly defeat the famous Blood God Child.

That day, still unwilling to give up, he was asking around in a small mountain village with Li Qingfeng's portrait when two middle-aged cultivators suddenly blocked his way.

"I heard you're looking for a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Li Qingfeng?"

"Yes, that's him. He's my disciple. He went missing two years ago after going out on a training expedition. Have either of you seen him?"

Qingzhu Daoist couldn't discern the two men's cultivation levels, but seeing that they seemed to have information about his disciple, he immediately took out a portrait of Li Qingfeng.

The two middle-aged cultivators carefully examined the portrait, then exchanged a glance and a strange smile appeared on their faces.

"Yes, of course I have. I even sparred with your disciple just two years ago. You really have taught a good student."

A river of blood was faintly visible behind the middle-aged cultivator on the left.

At this moment, Daoist Qingzhu also noticed something was wrong and quickly retreated, summoning his magic weapon, the Five-Section Green Bamboo Staff:

"Who are you? Where did you take my apprentice, Li Qingfeng?!"

"us?"

Upon seeing this, the two middle-aged men calmly introduced themselves.

"Blood Demon Palace's Blood God Child!"

"Yin Jiutian, the leader of the Xuan Yin Sect!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Qingzhu's pupils contracted, and he immediately summoned his magic weapon and fled into the distance at top speed.

Just kidding. Although he is at the peak of the Golden Core stage, the two guys opposite him are old demons in the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Even if his disciple Li Qingfeng is really killed by the two old demons, he will not be able to avenge him.

However, Yin Jiutian, the leader of the Xuan Yin Sect, remained completely calm. He slapped the back of his head, and a black light quickly flew out to catch up with Qingzhu Daoren. Then, it transformed into a large cauldron engraved with various ghosts and monsters and covered him.

"Receive it for me!"

As Yin Jiutian made a hand seal, the cauldron directly absorbed Qingzhu Daoist into it, and then shrank back into his hand.

During this time, Daoist Qingzhu tried to use his magic weapon to resist, but it had no effect whatsoever.

"Junior Brother Jiutian's Great Sumeru Profound Yin Cauldron is getting more and more powerful, but we mustn't actually refine it. We still need to use it to open the Heavenly Evolution Thirty-Six Divine Bamboo Restriction of Little Bamboo Mountain and kill Li Qingfeng to avenge him."

Seeing that Yin Jiutian had captured Qingzhu Daoist in an instant, Blood God Child smiled and offered a word of advice.

Yin Jiutian replied with a hint of respect:

"Senior brother is joking. No matter how powerful my Great Sumeru Profound Yin Cauldron is, it will lose its divine will after entering your Blood River."

"And senior brother, please rest assured, I did not activate the killing formation, I only temporarily suppressed his cultivation."

Two years later, his junior brother left the sect to avenge his disciple, but then disappeared without a trace. Later, he learned from the Blood God that his junior brother had been killed by a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Li Qingfeng.

This time, he also accepted the invitation from the Blood God to join forces in destroying Xiaozhushan and Li Qingfeng to avenge his junior brother.

"That's good."

Blood God Child nodded upon hearing this and flew towards Little Bamboo Mountain with Yin Jiutian.
