Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 758 - 679: Slaying Immortals in a Snap, Remaining Uninvolved!
"Innate Qi Separation and Destruction Divine Light!"
Just coming out of Zhouyou Mountain, Xun Zhenbei had just concealed his fierce expression and hostility, intending to rush towards Chi Lian Mountain.
Suddenly.
A Divine Light clashed head-on.
"What?!"
Before he could react, it erupted silently, and fell amidst thunder and lightning, Xun Zhenbei was instantly paralyzed.
In an instant.
Endless illusions arose, triggering the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.
Hatred surged to the skies, fear amplified, at that moment, Xun Zhenbei's mana went berserk, completely unable to suppress it.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
His overwhelming mana instantly blasted out blood holes in 320 major acupoints of his body, originally an unblemished body, now turned into a body with thousands of leaks, mana escaping like a flood. Not only was his immortal body devastated, his Divine Soul triggered by the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, Pure Yang True Fire sprang from the void, threatening to dissipate his Divine Soul on the spot.
"Who?!"
Xun Zhenbei in fear and anger, struggled with all his might.
Lifting his head, his eyes glimmered with blood-red light, veins bulging on his face, he went into a demonic state instantly. Unfortunately, even if having gone demonic, even with all his efforts, it was too late.
His physical body was destroyed.
His Divine Soul was damaged.
How could Xun Zhenbei have any strength left to resist?
He shouted angrily.
Unable to hold on any longer, his mana poured out uncontrolled, his Divine Soul burning incessantly.
A loud shout had not yet fallen.
"Ah!"
"I hate!"
The grand True Immortal had already disintegrated and perished, bereft of life force.
Woo woo!
A gust of wind blew, Xun Zhenbei dissipated in the wind, dropping a Flying Sword and one hundred and eight Black Banners.
Qingfeng brushed by.
A figure materialized, Lu Qingfeng's eyes glowed with divine light, landing on the Black Banners, understanding the essence.
"Seven Emotions and Six Desires Banner?"
He let out a light exclamation.
Lightly touching the Black Banner, not taking away the treasure, in half a breath, he deciphered all one hundred and eight Black Banners. Not staying long, he transformed into a gust of wind, disappearing without a trace.
Came quietly.
Left quietly.
Not taking a single cloud with him.
Xun Zhenbei.
Dead!
…
Jade Seal Peak.
Xia Guang Cave.
Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes, which were bright, the bothersome and messy feelings of recent years disappeared, his Divine Soul clear, much more relaxed than when suppressed by the Yellow Court Scripture.
As if shedding a layer of bindings.
Enjoying great freedom.
Lu Qingfeng knew—
"Killing Xun Zhenbei, fulfilling the Heart Demon Oath, henceforth utterly free and unfettered."
Slaying Xun Zhenbei.
Easier than Lu Qingfeng had imagined.
Merely waited outside Zhouyou Mountain for half a month, then saw Xun Zhenbei leaving the mountain. Lu Qingfeng didn't hesitate, stepped forward immediately, a 'Innate Qi Separation and Destruction Divine Light', scattering Xun Zhenbei's soul.
Fulfilling his initial oath.
Utilizing battle strength near Earth Immortal's to deal with a mere True Immortal was really bullying.
Without any ripple.
The only concern was whether Dan Xiazi from Danxia Mountain would raise a great fuss over a True Immortal, employing some peculiar methods to investigate.
If that were truly the case.
It would indeed be troublesome and pose risks.
This was also why Lu Qingfeng could easily kill Xun Zhenbei, yet hesitated to act.
But this time—
"This Xun Zhenbei's hatred surged to the skies, he had already fallen into demonism."
"I used the 'Innate Qi Separation and Destruction Divine Light' on him, even easier than other Great Divine Powers."
Recalling just now.
Lu Qingfeng felt relaxed and satisfied.
Years ago, he in the Annihilation Divine Sect of Three Mountains and Nine Waters, obtained a Sect Magical Artifact, called 'Separation and Reunion Divine Talisman', from which he comprehended the method of 'Separation and Reunion Mysterious Light'.
After several enhancements and fusions, he mastered two Great Divine Powers.
'Innate Qi Separation and Destruction Divine Light' was one of them.
This method used Innate Pure Yang True Fire to refine, primarily creating illusions at will, triggering the enemy's Seven Emotions and Six Desires, causing them to self-destruct their mana, plunge into demonism, and disintegrate their form and spirit.
Killing invisibly.
Most useful indeed.
As expected.
Xun Zhenbei couldn't withstand a single encounter and was killed.
As Lu Qingfeng wished.
No complications arose.
Even Xun Zhenbei's manner of death was somewhat fortuitous, already fallen into demonism before death, his demise resembled that of Demon Technique backlash. Even if Dan Xiazi knew afterwards, he probably wouldn't have the face to publicize it widely.
However, while killing Xun Zhenbei was simple, the set of Black Banners he possessed was not simple.
[Magical Artifact: Seven Emotions and Six Desires Banner]
[Grade: Seventh-Order]
[Description: True Immortal 'Xun Zhenbei' of Zhouyou Mountain was suppressed under Immortal Crossing Bridge of Chi Lian Mountain for five hundred years by Black Dragon True Monarch, filled with boundless hatred, connected to devious elements, seized by a Heart Demon from the Demon Domain, obtaining the Refining Method for the 'Seven Emotions and Six Desires Banner'. This treasure uses the Seven Emotions and Six Desires in its refining, able to fix the Void Demon Cave, summoning demon calamities.]
"A Demon Cave?"
"Chi Lian Mountain actually hides a Demon Cave?"
Lu Qingfeng was somewhat surprised.
He had ascended for over a hundred years, although he had never ventured out of Sky-reaching Gorge, but because of the name 'Dan and Artifact Double Extreme' being widely recognized, therefore several True Immortals from all directions actively visited.
Lu Qingfeng was well-acquainted with these True Immortals, and their discussions often revolved around the affairs of the world.
Naturally, he was aware of the Demon Cave.
Moreover, he was situated at Sky-reaching Gorge, and being one of the only ten True Immortals at Sky-reaching Gorge, he knew this place like the back of his hand.
Even more so,
there was a Demon Cave within Sky-reaching Gorge itself, connecting to the Demon Domain. Inside, there were extremely powerful demons that only Grandmaster Qin could suppress.
Demon Caves vary in size.
The one at Sky-reaching Gorge, naturally, was extremely perilous.
Besides,
there were ordinary Demon Caves.
Like the Xuanbing Abyss that Lu Changsheng was dispatched to suppress, it was a low-level Demon Cave predominated by Foundation Establishment and Spirit Void Level First and Second-rank demons, and only occasionally would a Third-rank demon comparable to a Jiedan True Man appear.
This type of Demon Cave was the most prevalent.
Fortunately, with monks from various Immortal Sects dispatched to suppress them, stability was maintained in all directions, preventing the demons from wreaking havoc in the mortal realm.
"There's no pattern to the emergence of Demon Caves."
"In deep mountains, water bodies, cities, and plains, Demon Caves could appear anywhere. They may appear briefly and close up and disappear after a few to several days. Or they could be permanent Demon Caves, like Sky-reaching Gorge or Xuanbing Abyss, requiring constant vigilance and suppression."
Lu Qingfeng pondered.
In reality, Demon Caves within the inner circle of the Spirit Domain were quite rare.
On the other hand, in the outer periphery, all kinds of large Demon Caves could be seen everywhere, forcing the major domains of the Spirit Domain to build numerous lines of defense, strictly preventing the demons from entering and saving life spirits from disaster.
The demons covet the expansive and densely populated lands of the Spirit Domain, viewing it as a lush pasture, willing to replace others, relentlessly attacking the Spirit Domain, even at the cost of countless deaths and injuries.
However, the Demon Domain, where the demons reside, is also considered a 'sacred place' by the monks of the Spirit Domain.
There are numerous forbidden places with special environments that host rare Spirit Medicines and Immortal Elixirs, each containing great opportunities.
When a Demon Cave appears,
with demons lurking and coming forth, monks from the Spirit Domain also navigate there.
"There are quite a few top cultivators who have emerged from the Demon Domain."
Lu Qingfeng thought to himself, shaking his head.
The opportunities in the Demon Domain are many.
But so are the dangers.
Given his situation, there was absolutely no need for him to take risks.
Not dwelling on the Demon Domain, his thoughts shifted to Xun Zhenbei: "Xun Zhenbei received the Refining Method of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Banner in Chi Lian Mountain. In Chi Lian Mountain, there should indeed be a Demon Cave. And because the Demon Cave is not stable, the 'Seven Emotions and Six Desires Banner' is used to set up the 'Seven Emotions and Six Desires Formation' to stabilize the Demon Cave and lure the demons."
An undiscovered Demon Cave.
Is of great value both to the Demon Domain and the Spirit Domain.
Not to mention the demons yet.
For the monks of the Spirit Domain.
This newly discovered Demon Cave represents an undeveloped treasure site, signifying infinite opportunities, countless Spirit Medicines and Immortal Elixirs, various rare minerals, and numerous cultivation resources.
If it could be taken over.
Though it is both a hidden danger and a burden, it is also a tremendous wealth.
"Unfortunately,"
"This Demon Cave is in Chi Lian Mountain."
Lu Qingfeng shook his head.
Chi Lian Mountain was the domain of cultivation for Black Dragon True Monarch. Even though the Demon Cave had only just appeared and Black Dragon True Monarch had been frequently away lately, rarely cultivating in Chi Lian Mountain, leading to it being momentarily undiscovered and firstly spotted and concealed by the Demon Domain, seducing and countermining Xun Zhenbei.
But as long as any demons dared to approach from the Demon Domain, Black Dragon True Monarch would immediately sense them.
With Black Dragon True Monarch's temperament, this piece of 'fatty meat' was unlikely to fall to others, let alone from Sky-reaching Gorge with whom he had conflicts in recent years.
Lu Qingfeng did not wish to take the risk.
Thus, leaving the advantage to Black Dragon True Monarch.
"I just killed Xun Zhenbei."
"It's better not to get involved in this matter."
Lu Qingfeng thought.
He instantly closed his eyes, mobilized his mana, refined his Primordial Spirit, and pushed all these considerations out of his mind.
...
The death of Xun Zhenbei caused a stir within a small circle.
The Earth Immortal Grandmaster of Danxia Mountain furiously declared it was the work of a master of the 'Heart Demon' lineage of demons. He somehow dragged out seven or eight Fourth Rank demons and killed them on the spot, hastily settling the matter.
On the surface, it passed.
But privately, there were rumors that Xun Zhenbei, due to being suppressed and tormented by Black Dragon True Monarch, bore resentment and fell into the Demon Dao, thus being executed by the Grandmaster of Danxia Mountain as a form of internal cleansing.
The rumors were detailed and vivid.
Shortly thereafter,
Don]['tifact at the Immortal Crossing Bridge at Chi Lian Mountain, which had suppressed Xun Zhenbei, a Demon Cave entrance indeed appeared, further confirming the latter explanation.
...
Lu Qingfeng remained detached.
He continued his arduous cultivation.
But he wasn't at peace for long.
Three years after killing Xun Zhenbei, Grandmaster Qin summoned Lu Qingfeng.
"Master."
In front of Sky-reaching Waterfall, Lu Qingfeng paid his respects to Grandmaster Qin.
Over the years, he had met with Grandmaster Qin quite a few times, mostly initiated by Lu Qingfeng himself, to consult about confusions in cultivation.
Of course.
These 'confusions' were all noted down by him long ago when he first reached the True Immortal Realm in his initial cultivation.
In "Primordial," he had proven himself as an Earth Immortal, and re-cultivating in reality, he faced no obstacles at all. But to avoid suspicion, he still put on a façade.
Even to showcase his genius trait.
Lu Qingfeng even approached it from the height of an Earth Immortal, bringing up some representative questions encountered by the various True Immortals under his wing in "Primordial" over the years.
Which made Grandmaster Qin repeatedly praise, "My disciple is truly unmatched in talent!"
But before, it had always been Lu Qingfeng who came to consult, and this was the first time Grandmaster Qin actively called him.
After Lu Qingfeng paid his respects.
Before Grandmaster Qin could speak, a breeze arrived from behind, and a voice followed before the figure appeared: "Master, junior brother."
Looking back.
It was his third senior sister, 'Han Ling'er.'
"Senior sister."
Lu Qingfeng greeted with a bow.
"It's been a hundred years."
"Hearing that junior brother's cultivation is remarkably swift, even master often praises it, later we must exchange and challenge each other well."
Han Ling'er said to Lu Qingfeng with a smile.
