Chapter 542: Chapter 275: Blood Phoenix Demon Monarch, Strange Movements in Tianjue

This has never happened in the Hundred Floating Domains for thousands of years because there has never been a Nascent Soul level major power that could trust each other. There was always only war, always only scheming, but now they have joined forces to face an enemy because of the Blood Phoenix Demon Monarch.

This shows the terror of the Blood Phoenix Demon Monarch.

A place where the Blood Phoenix Demon Monarch lingered in the Golden Core Stage for five to six hundred years and left behind a very peculiar Blood Phoenix External Demon demonic aura.

What exactly is hidden?

And what exactly is it, that a loose cultivator without the backing of an ancient sect obtained the Nascent Soul Dao Fruit?

"Perhaps the answer lies within the Grotto Heaven."

Lin Zhuo immediately had the intention to go, but upon thinking of the current situation in the East Pole Immortal City, and those two top-grade Golden Core and one upper-rank Golden Core, his desire to rush to the Divine Fall Mountain Range was suppressed.

The situation is unclear, if he rashly goes there, and lets the people of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect find those three first.

Then the opportunity belonging to the West Mountain Floating Domain would be shattered.

But this is not the most frightening thing, because in the past, without top-grade Golden Core cultivators, the West Mountain Floating Domain could still rely on several other Floating Domains to cope with the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect. What is feared is them joining the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect.

Behind the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect is the Ancient Demon Sect with a history of thousands of years with a Demon Monarch. If they get two top-grade and one upper-rank Golden Core as well, that would be a big problem. An upper-rank Golden Core, if trained properly, will surely enter Golden Core Perfection.

And a top-grade Golden Core can even pick the Nascent Soul Dao Fruit. If that truly happens, then the West Mountain Floating Domain will no longer exist. As for seeking help, how would those Nascent Soul level major powers offend a Demon Monarch for them?

It’s already good if they don’t seize the opportunity to add insult to injury at that time.

Zang Qianjian quickly chimed in, "General Lin, what should we do next? The Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect also has similar thoughts, so they have been secretly supporting the Three Life Gates."

Hearing this, Lin Zhuo immediately made up his mind, before the situation is clear, absolutely do not go to the Divine Fall Mountain Range.

If he went.

He would be too conspicuous.

Causing unnecessary trouble.

"All these are just speculations, and there is another possibility that the Blood Phoenix Demon Monarch since having abandoned this place, very likely there is something insignificant. Anyway, it’s better to explore first before making a decision."

Zang Qianjian volunteered, "Sir, I am willing to go, to explore for you and according to Yi Nian Guan Shan, if a late Golden Core enters that Grotto Heaven, it will collapse, so I am most suitable."

"You still have to find someone, it’s not suitable."

Lin Zhuo shook his head.

Zang Qianjian insisted, "Sir, exactly for this reason, I am most suitable. Since everyone knows I am to help you find someone, the people of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect also know this. If someone else goes, once they disappear for a long time, they will definitely be noticed by the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect. In the Demon Sect, there are Fate Technique Demon Pill Cultivators, which may not be easy to deal with."

"You make a good point, since that’s the case, you will go. But before going, swear a Heart Demon Oath."

"I understand, any opportunity that arises belongs to you, sir, how would I dare to covet." Zang Qianjian immediately swore a Heart Demon Oath, without hesitation.

Only then did Lin Zhuo nod in relief.

It was at this moment, Yi Nian Guan Shan’s External False Pill Human Puppet finally raised its head, speaking again, "General Lin, I have two requests! If General Lin agrees, I will go through fire and water to explore the secrets of the Grotto Heaven for you. Now that the Grotto Heaven has been refined by me, the danger of me entering is certainly less than Fellow Daoist Zang."

"You actually dare to lament, and two requests at that." Lin Zhuo coldly chuckled, "However, considering your ancestors are old acquaintances of mine, speak your mind"

"I wish to ask General Lin to protect my Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks for a thousand years, the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks will forever be loyal to General Lin. Another thing, my life is nearing its end, I can only survive by finding another External Foundation Establishment Item, thereby serving General Lin in exploring the secrets of the Grotto Heaven. But the person who has the External Foundation Establishment is hiding very secretly, I have been unable to find them all along, so I wish to ask Master Sanxiang to divine for me."

After speaking.

Yi Nian Guan Shan anxiously knelt.

Even though the main body was far at the Celestial Sword Peak, it was still kneeling. As a dignified Golden Core Zhenren, sweat couldn’t help but form on their palms.

The dozen or so breaths of Lin Zhuo’s silence were akin to a year, extremely excruciating, but the words that followed filled him with joy.

"If you can explore the secrets of the Grotto Heaven, both requests are not a problem. But for Master Sanxiang, you will need to prepare a generous gift. Master Sanxiang, as a member of the Spirit Suppressing Army, is the strongest Divination Master in the West Mountain Floating Domain, and naturally, it won’t be possible to help you just because I ask him, the key is to see your sincerity."

Yi Nian Guan Shan quickly bowed in gratitude, retrieving a token of thanks hidden on him for all this time, "I understand, this is my gift to General Lin, as for Master Sanxiang, I will prepare a generous gift immediately!"

Lin Zhuo swept his Divine Sense over the storage bag.

Smiled in satisfaction.

Looking at Yi Nian Guan Shan, he found him much more pleasing to the eye.

...

In Lengxi Mountain.

Wen Jiu, utilizing Master Du’s identity, made large-scale purchases of essence blood in the Wind and Cloud Immortal City to cultivate Blood Corpse Mushrooms, and also bought large amounts of items for cultivating the Law-Devouring Yin Insects and Five Ghosts, essentially sweeping up all the resources of Wind and Cloud Immortal City. As for whether any loose cultivators or cultivation clans have objections, Wen Jiu didn’t care.

If there are, and they’re bold enough to voice them, so much the better. He was just worrying about having to spend Flower Spirit Stones on buying things himself.

As for the Five Ghosts, Wen Jiu purchased some Life Pills. The so-called Life Pills are not made directly from living people, but refined from human corpses, and they must be resentful corpses who’ve been dead for some time, imbued with grievance.

As for why it’s named Life Pills, it’s because when the pill was first created, it was indeed made from living people. Later it was discovered that wrongful death corpses were more effective, so the method was changed, but the name of the pill wasn’t.

Wen Jiu bought a large batch of Tier One Top-Grade and Tier Two Lower-Grade Life Pills to speed up the cultivation of the Five Ghosts.

Spending two to three hundred thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones in one go, yet Wen Jiu didn’t feel any pain. As for the Law-Devouring Yin Insects, the items for their cultivation were somewhat more difficult to purchase, because the Law-Devouring Yin Insects devour magical power, other things are entirely useless.

Nonetheless, Wen Jiu still managed to procure a batch of spirit insects from the Hidden Pavilion, containing a large amount of magical power, suitable for cultivation food. Similarly, spending two to three hundred thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones, but the speeding effect was quite significant.

It’s just a pity.

Even after sweeping all they could, Wen Jiu could only buy this much, whether the Five Ghosts and Law-Devouring Yin Insects can be cultivated to Tier Two Peak is yet unknown. To ensure they can smoothly and rapidly reach Tier Two Peak, Wen Jiu, using Master Du’s identity, issued a bounty, offering to buy as much as there is on offer, buying at a premium.

Of course.

Saying so is one thing.

When the time comes to sell Life Pills and spirit insects to the trading houses, it’s unlikely anyone will mention a premium.

They might even give them away for free.

After all, the favor of a Golden Core Zhenren is not easily obtained, and in normal times they wouldn’t even have the chance to give it away.

"This certainly can be attributed to my practice of not accepting gifts in the usual days." Wen Jiu smiled with satisfaction and continued his orderly routine of cultivating corpses, cultivating ghosts, and cultivating the Law-Devouring Yin Insects, while the battle situation in the Divine Fall Mountain Range continued as usual.

However, one thing did catch Wen Jiu’s attention.

News suddenly came from Feng Jue a month later that there was unusual activity within the Celestial Extinction Yin Vein, as a disciple of the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks walked out from it. Originally just in Qi Cultivation Perfection, but by the time they walked out from the Celestial Extinction Ruins, they had already reached Foundation Establishment.

Currently, only one person has come out and is already under the control of the Three Life Gates.

Upon hearing this news, Wen Jiu’s first thought was of the Yin Demon Seed, he also remembered the batch of Qi Refining Cultivators led by Alliance Leader Ku Yue of the Celestial Left Alliance that entered the Celestial Extinction Mountain Mansion. The opportunities within Celestial Extinction Mountain are mostly traps; Wen Jiu initially thought those people probably would never come out alive in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, they have. However, they must have come out carrying the Yin Demon Seed.

The Yin Demon Seed itself is not terrifying; what is terrifying is its ability to spread, and do so silently.

However, Wen Jiu is not worried about the Yin Demon Seed, as the so-called Yin Demon Seed, in the soul memories of the Three Karmic Demon, poses a significant threat to Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment, but is virtually harmless to Golden Core cultivators.

Because the Blood Demon Sect’s Demon Pill Zhenren who created it was only in the early stage of Golden Core.

"However, if they can come out, does that mean one can also get in?" Wen Jiu somewhat grew a notion to re-enter the Celestial Extinction Ruins, for after all, inside is the East Spring River, and at the end of the East Spring River, there might be remnants of the Blood Demon Sect.

But Wen Jiu also worried about one thing.

That is whether he can come out after going in. As he knows, the spatial barrier of the Celestial Extinction Ruins is not something Golden Core cultivators can break through. If the East Spring Undying Bone enters, gets trapped for a hundred years.

That loss would be significant.
