Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

"I would like to ask you, fellow Daoist, to gather manpower and completely exterminate the Sky-Piercing Eagles."

Okay, okay, okay—

He never even considered annihilating the Sky-Piercing Eagle Clan, yet this female demon spoke of exterminating the entire clan, indicating that she truly hated this type of demon race.

From Wang Shu's perspective, although Gu Qing's attack on Eagle Court failed, it still caused Eagle Court to suffer huge losses and created a misunderstanding with the Flame Emperor of Tianhuang Domain.

If it happens again, the possibility of slaughtering them all is still very high.

Because Gu Qing had been hiding for several years, he had also managed to achieve a breakthrough in his strength, but he didn't know as much information as Wang Shu did.

The fates of Wan Jun and Lang Chan are unknown, and the whereabouts of the crucial treasure, the "Wind-Fixing Pearl," are also unknown. Considering the dangers of this place, it is definitely not feasible for him to come back alone.

Unless he can gather the strongmen of Baiyue Mountain and wage a full-scale war against Eagle Court.

But this would unite the entire demon race of the Eight Desolations in hatred against a common enemy, thus triggering the third war between humans and demons, a responsibility he could not bear.

"Sorry, I refuse."

He shrugged. The Azure Sky Divine Wind had already been absorbed into Gu Qing's belly. Through the connection with the Gluttonous Head, it was instantly transferred to the Jinyun Secret Realm, which became his treasure trove and was very safe.

Seeing that things were not developing as expected, Wang Shu frowned deeply and asked in confusion.

"Why? Brother Dao has already formed a mortal enmity with Eagle Court. Now is the perfect opportunity to strike them. Why refuse?"

"Are you worried that Wang Shu will deceive you, fellow Daoist? I swear an oath..."

No—

Gu Qing activated the Five Elements Great Escape technique, his body sinking halfway into the ground. He seemed to be deep in thought as he said:

"If, and I mean if, the Sky-Piercing Eagle Clan is truly wiped out, then no demon in the Southern Wilderness is qualified to inherit this position."

"Among the Eight Desolate Demon Clan, there are countless individuals more capable than Ying Ting. If you can obtain the <Southern Desolate Demon Emperor's Seal>, contact me through this item."

I'll help you this once!

Gu Qing tossed Wang Shu a jade pendant, which had a very wide range of applications, capable of traversing the four wildernesses.

Just as he said, the fact that the Eagle Court is easy to deal with does not mean that other demon races are easy to deal with. The reason for its weakness lies in its lack of tolerance, which is also closely related to its illegitimate accession to the throne.

With the abdication system transforming the country into a hereditary system, how could the Skyhawk Clan not be afraid of retaliation? Therefore, suppressing powerful clans is their instinct, an unconscious act to maintain their power and status.

Furthermore, due to the issue of inheritance rights, Lie Tian slaughtered outstanding geniuses among his own clan, making the lack of successors inevitable.

The good thing about these silly eagles is that they're selfish enough.

If a group of ambitious and domineering demons were to arrive, they could cultivate powerful individuals using the abundant resources of the Southern Wilderness Demon Realm, making it easier for them to produce fifth-rank beings than for humans.

At that time, they will have no choice but to take action even if they don't want to start a full-scale war.

The Baiyue Mountains will not stand idly by while the enemy grows stronger. Taking over the entire Southern Wilderness will have far-reaching consequences for the human race. Local advantages are not enough; the human race must have superior power in all regions of the Eight Wilderness before they will be determined to take action.

Wang Shu is a very good pawn. Her identity as someone from a minor world means she is destined to be at odds with the demon race of the Cangwu Realm.

After saying that, Gu Qing slipped away. The smooth process was also thanks to Wang Shu.

Promising to help her once is also a long-term strategy to reel in a bigger fish.

It is of great significance to know the decisions made by Eagle Court's top management!
Gu Qing left.

Wang Shu remained where she was, lost in thought. Although the other party had rejected her, the implication in their words was that the time was not yet right.

"I will wait until that day..."

Wang Shu's face hardened, and he struck his own chest and abdomen with a backhand. The chest and abdomen visibly caved in, and he vomited a mouthful of blood, suffering severe injuries on the spot.

His eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

On his way out, Gu Qing secretly went to take a look at the ferocious beast's tomb. Unfortunately, there was a powerful figure guarding it. Judging from the aura, it should be the Eagle King himself.

Although he felt he could fight the fifth-rank high-level beast, he was unable to take away the beast's tomb during the battle and left with regret.

…………

…………

Less than half a month later.

Stepping onto the inter-domain teleportation array in the Southern Wilderness once again, Gu Qing arrived in the Western Wilderness where Kunlun Mountain is located. The demon emperor here is the Tongtian Golden Crocodile, known as the Crocodile Ancestor, whose physical body is invincible!

The lineage of the demon race here is much more orderly than in the Southern Wilderness. It still follows the system of abdication, where the strongest person ascends to the throne of the Demon Emperor. Every three thousand years, there is a trial to compete for the Demon Emperor's Seal. The rulers also spare no effort in cultivating the most talented demons, and there are seven fifth-rank demon lords alone.

Very powerful.

Kunlun Mountains.

"haven't seen you for a long time---"

"Senior Tianyunzi."

Gu Qing bowed to the senior, but the other party just smiled and looked at him with his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Fellow Daoist Gu is really making waves lately!"

This is a call to action against him.

"Senior need not worry. The matter in the Southern Wilderness is an internal strife among the demon race. Some of the forces of the Azure Palace are involved, but the human race did not go."

Tian Yunzi stroked his beard.

"Gu Zhixuan chased him deep into the demon realm, has he returned?"

"nature."

Gu Qing was taken aback, then simply found a secluded spot to sit down and stopped talking. This was a flaw, but not a flaw either; it mainly depended on what the demon race thought.

It's normal that Mo Xuan made a high-profile appearance at Huiji Mountain, given that Baiyue Mountain, in principle, does not allow any fifth-rank demon lords to get too close to the human territory.

However, they pursued too deeply, killing many demon clans along the way and looting everything.

That's quite meaningful.

It's okay—the Demon Xuan Society will take responsibility for everything; those are the terrorists, it has nothing to do with Gu Sansui.

Furthermore, Gu Qing felt that he had done a good job.

The Twelve Immortal Sects are gathering their forces to investigate the matter of ascension. He took the opportunity to force the Old Demon Emperor to undergo the tribulation of becoming an immortal, which should have attracted the attention of many top-level experts.

Observing this tribulation will surely bring some gains, more or less.

Subsequently, many familiar faces arrived at Kunlun Mountain.

The seats in the Heavenly Mystery Hall gradually filled up. When the Second Ancestor Feng Xian and Gu Zhixuan arrived together, the seats were filled with Pei Daojun, Ping Sui Daojun, Huan Yin Fairy, Bei Ming Jin Mu Yuan Jun, and others.

Even though Gu Qing was hiding behind a pillar, he was still glared at.

Especially the look in Feng Xian's eyes, it was as if he wanted to beat him up.

Being a person is hard~

Gu Qing retorted fiercely, "Old Bi Deng, I'll beat you up sooner or later!"
Unexpectedly, a newcomer appeared and sat at the very end. He was clearly the Dao Lord who had been promoted in the last three years—the forty-seventh seat!

Lin Chunyi, the ninth ancestor of the Baiyue people.

Gu Qing was speechless, then felt a surge of joy. He regarded Jiu Zu as one of the people who had helped him the most in Baiyue Mountain. He thought Jiu Zu had already reached the fifth rank, but he didn't expect him to be ahead of him.

"Nine Ancestors".

Lin Chunyi rolled her eyes at him.

"You've been back for so long, and you haven't even come to see me."

"this---"

With a quick glance, Gu Qing pointed at Feng Xian, her meaning clear.

"Congratulations to the Ninth Ancestor on breaking through to the fifth rank. The Great Dao is within reach."

"Sigh... I'm far inferior to you."

"You can't say that."

Touching the Void Ring on his finger, Gu Qing took out an item and handed it to the Ninth Ancestor.

"A congratulatory gift for your attainment of enlightenment."

Lin Chunyi didn't refuse, and asked directly: (End of this chapter)
