Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 269 The Power of the Nine Ancestors
A quarter of an hour at most.

Gu Qing, carrying the head of the old demon Bi You, flew into the sky again. If Gu Qing's current combat power is equivalent to that of two Bai Sanzu, then...

The old demon Biyou's strength is only equivalent to 1.2 Bai Sanzu, which is even weaker than Qianyu Yingwang. He's incredibly weak.

He easily defeated it by only using his body refinement and lightning cultivation abilities.

The situation changed abruptly.

Lian Chutian laughed heartily, both pleased that he hadn't misjudged Gu Qing and amazed by his potential. In less than a hundred years of cultivation, he had already reached the peak of the seventh rank, and even ordinary sixth-rank cultivators were no match for him.

I was shocked, but also felt a little sad and envious.

Heaven is heartless, yet it favors Gu Qingqing; it's truly unfair!

The old demon he was fighting was also uneasy.

He couldn't help but shout.

"Palace Master!"

While fighting the Heavenly River Ancestor, Yin Yang Demon Lord, who had just finished warming up, turned around and was enraged by the blood-dripping head in Gu Qing's hand.

"Useless! That old bastard Bi You has wasted all these years in the far north, only to be killed by a mere junior of the third rank."

Looking again at the sixth-rank Demon Palace elder, although he was suppressing the thirty-five ancestors, he had not seriously injured them; in fact, he was being held back.

General Ghost Centipede and the Thirty-Six Ancestors fought to a standstill.

Upon closer inspection, there wasn't a single piece of extra assistance.

Seeing Gu Qing rushing towards the Demon Palace elder with rolling white lightning, Yin Yang Demon Lord didn't care about anything else. He waved his sleeve to repel Tianhe Ancestor, and a banner fluttered in the wind.

Countless beings, transformed into demons, burst forth from it.

It was none other than the Yin-Yang Demon Lord's signature high-grade magic weapon, the Myriad Demon Banner! His name came from the Yin-Yang Demon Palace faction, not from his own expertise in the Yin-Yang Dao.

It is very deceptive.

Tens of thousands of demons blotted out the sky, forming an unknown formation that pressed down on Gu Qing. How could the Heavenly River Ancestor tolerate this? Four Xuan Yuan Heavy Water Pearls suddenly dispersed, forming a dark blue-black water curtain, like a sky-supporting hand pressing down.

As he clashed with the demons, he formed a sword incantation with one hand, unleashing his natal magic weapon, the Heavenly River Sword, from his dantian and launching a fierce attack on the Yin-Yang Demon Lord, diverting his energy.

How incredibly fast was Gu Qing?!

The moment the attempt to stop it failed, the outcome was already predetermined.

Let's get hooked!

With a knee striking the Demon Palace elder's cheek, and a flick of his sleeve, the enemy, sent flying by divine power, convulsed from the force of the heavenly lightning, yet felt the world shrink infinitely.

The surrounding space felt oppressive, and everything around it seemed magnified.

It is indeed the supreme divine power, the Universe in the Sleeve!
This is a genuine method of trapping the enemy; the ability to store space is merely one of its secondary features.

He watched as the Demon Palace elder shrank in front of him.

Lian Chutiangong activated the furnace, and as the real fire surged, the opponent screamed in agony.

The next moment, the sky turned completely dark.

The immeasurably high mountain seal pressed down, crushing him into bloody foam with a crack, leaving only a few storage treasures alive.

Even with the combined efforts of Lian Chutiangong and Gu Qing, they managed to kill this sixth-rank lower-level Demon Palace elder in just three moves. How terrifying!

Five Elements Wheel, Mountain Seal, Heavenly Shuttle Robe, Thunder Lotus Platform.

A mere low-ranking True Person displayed four magical treasures in succession; although they were only low-ranking, they were still quite remarkable.

Even Chu Tiangong nodded repeatedly.

"It seems your weapon-refining skills have advanced to the sixth rank, and you are incredibly wealthy. You've managed to refine so many magical treasures; you're truly a formidable young man."

“Little Daoer, Senior Tiangong, you go help the thirty-fifth ancestor, and I will go help the thirty-sixth ancestor.”

"Alright." Whether it's Ghost Centipede or the second-ranked Demon Palace Elder, they are both at the mid-level of the sixth rank, so dealing with them won't be so easy.

A mid-level cultivator who goes all out has at least the combat power of two Bai Sanzu. With his secret techniques and supernatural abilities, he could probably reach the combat power of three Bai Sanzu.

Even Gu Qing was unsure whether he could win.

Just then, the situation tilted in a direction unfavorable to the Ghost Mother and the demonic cultivators. The enemies, apart from gritting their teeth, did not come up with any further countermeasures.

The Ninth Ancestor, who had been observing from the shadows, finally made his move!

The fifth-grade Dao Lord level Great Divine Power Master unleashed a thunderous attack, as if deliberately demonstrating to Gu Qing, with his perfect-level Devouring Handprint crashing down.

He grabbed the Ghost Centipede General, which instantly exploded and was then swallowed by the Devouring Handprint, disappearing without a trace.

The Phoenix Demon Mother's spiritual senses warned her, and the Zhou Jue Yin Heaven Palace unleashed endless Netherworld divine light, opening a Netherworld passage in front of her. Without hesitation, she abandoned everything and ran into the Netherworld.

The power of a fifth-rank Dao Lord is terrifying. If you don't run away when you see him, there is only one outcome: death!

As one's cultivation level increases, the gap in combat power between those smaller cultivation levels widens significantly, with the middle third rank being a clear dividing line.

The Yin-Yang Demon Lord was equally shocked.

He muttered to himself.

"The Lord of the Heavenly Way... The Heavenly Way..."

During the escape, his body suddenly split into four pieces, leaving only his nascent soul to continue fleeing. He used his teleportation technique and appeared in the palm of the Ninth Ancestor.

With a snap, his soul was completely annihilated, leaving him no chance to be reincarnated.

The only remaining elder of the Demon Palace knelt on the ground, trembling, and cried out.

"I surrender, I surrender, please don't kill me."

"I'll tell you everything! Don't kill me..."

With complicated expressions, Bao Hua and the others sealed all three of his dantian and bound him with magical treasures such as the Immortal Binding Rope before bowing to the Nine Ancestors.

"Thank you for your help, Ninth Ancestor."

Gu Qing was the same, still pondering the weight of his name in his heart.

Lord Liangtian Dao...

It must also have a magnificent and extraordinary legendary story, how domineering it must be!! I can't help but feel a longing and a sense of anticipation.

"Okay, get up."

"This was a plan that had already been discussed; there's no need for this."

The Ninth Ancestor spoke, taking all the enemy corpses and treasures with him.

As for the spoils of war, whoever kills the enemy or makes the greatest contribution gets to keep them.

Gu Qing and Lian Chutiangong split the storage ring of a Demon Palace elder, and also received the savings of the old demon Biyou.

They gained approximately 500,000 spirit stones, a number of spiritual materials and treasures, and a number of demonic cultivation techniques and magical artifacts. The harvest was quite substantial. Although this battle exposed their strength, it was still a worthwhile outcome.

This resource will be enough for him to use for a long time.

At this moment, the Ninth Ancestor spoke.

"The Yin-Yang Demon Palace is one of the thirty-six demon palaces in the far north. It was almost completely destroyed in this battle and will probably be removed from the list. Bao Hua, you should go back to the mountain and contact the Jiuli Immortal Sect to share the situation with them."

Tianhe, go to the "Mysterious Realm" within the Ancestral Hall to cultivate in seclusion at the Five Elements Pool and break through to the next realm.

"As for Thirty-Five and Thirty-Six, they will remain in Yan to handle the aftermath of the demonic chaos. The key to the national protection array will be temporarily entrusted to you for safekeeping."

There are rewards and punishments. The Heavenly River Ancestor, who contributed more, was given a chance to break through his cultivation realm. The Five Elements Pool is also one of the foundations of the immortal sect. Bao Hua has no need for it, so no arrangements have been made for the time being.

The 35th and 36th ancestors, who had been slacking off and getting beaten the whole time, were also given the task of handling the cleanup, which was considered a minor punishment.
