Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Gu Qing made a sudden move because he annihilated the White Bone Demon lineage of the Primordial Domain. At the critical moment when the top experts of both races went to the Void Battlefield for a battle, he made a ruthless move.

There was no one on the battlefield of Burial Valley who could threaten him.

Yunmeng Daojun was besieged by several fifth-rank high-level demon lords and his whereabouts are unknown, but he is certainly not in mortal danger.

The older they get, the more charismatic they become—it's not just a saying.

Under the heavenly fire, the Glazed Flame Spear was like a fatal blow that ended the war. The morale of the Four Desolate Demon Army, which was on the verge of collapse, finally succumbed to the fear of being slaughtered.

They collapsed!
With the main battlefield collapsing, the human cultivator army was overjoyed. The battle of Burial Valley had already secured victory, but this did not mean that the war between humans and demons was over.

War is never decided by a single bloody battle!

The twelve immortal sects did not unleash their full power, leaving many Dao Lords to guard their gates; naturally, the demon race also did not unleash their full power.

The next stage will be a slightly less intense offensive and defensive battle, with the human race attacking and the demon race defending. How many spiritual lands and blessed lands can be captured will depend on how well they perform in this stage.

Looking back at history, in both tribal wars, the human race did not always have the upper hand; in fact, they won by a small margin each time.

The first instance was during the era of the Five Ancestors of the Human Race, when twelve cultivation kingdoms were established, laying the foundation for the rise of the Human Race by accumulating resources and heritage.

The second time, during the era of the Twelve Immortal Lords, they conquered fifty mortal kingdoms. Although they did not gain any real benefits, they did acquire actual territory.

This is how the human race has been able to support countless mortals, resulting in a continuous stream of outstanding talents. As time has passed, we are now in the third inter-race war.

Although the original intentions have changed, the advantages have been further expanded.

The demon race weakened through internal strife, while the human race rose through unity, suggesting that the Mandate of Heaven had been lost and the human race was on the rise.

So-called unity does not mean that there are no scheming and backstabbing among the human race, but rather that the top strongmen are all wise people who know the big picture and how to advance and retreat. Unity at the top and infighting at the bottom are inevitable consequences of the social nature of the world, and it is impossible for them to be completely of one mind.

Unless the entire race is wiped out...

The five ancestors and twelve immortal lords of the human race were able to achieve a minor victory despite being at a significant disadvantage. Now, with the dragon race as their ally, the gap between the strong of the human race and the demon race is approaching a balance.

A resounding victory is the only reasonable outcome!

The Four Desolate Demon Army collapsed and fled. Once the position was lost, the Immortal Sect Army needed to pursue and kill the fleeing troops and expand the gains.

At times like this, whether you're tired or not, all of that transforms into excitement for the abundant resources you're about to acquire.

What's the use of resting? Even cultivators don't die suddenly so easily.

It's much more worthwhile to work hard now, kill more demonic beasts, and seize their possessions than toiling away in sects and markets, worrying about the gains and losses of a few hundred spirit stones.

They're all spirit stones, they're all resources!
The resilience displayed by desperate, impoverished low-level human cultivators in such situations is more terrifying than that of a mad dog.

Wealth can buy 99% of the things in the world; who wouldn't strive for it?

With their advantage expanding further, Gu Qing, as the most prestigious person present, took over command and anchored the battlefield in the Western Wilderness, sealing off the western border and making use of the dangerous terrain of the wilderness, adapting to local conditions.

The masters of the Twelve Immortal Sects, specializing in formations, restrictions, and talismans, were tasked with setting up traps. While they might not be able to stop all the demons, they could certainly kill a large portion of them.

It's alright if some small fry escape; the main thing is that quantitative change leads to qualitative change. With nearly 100 million lives lost, plus the deaths of a large number of fifth-grade experts, the Western Wilderness will become the number one cultivation holy land in the Cangwu cultivation world.

This is just the beginning. To attract all the "Desolate Insects" that roam the entire Cangwu cultivation world, we must go far beyond the fifth rank limit.

Ideally, a fourth-grade spiritual vein should be born, but even one might not be enough; a potent bait can cure a stubborn ailment!

Even if these "Desolate Insects" are not the original beings recorded in the text, they are still terrifying, like a cancer that is difficult to cure, and only by severing an arm can one survive. However, the situation in the Cangwu cultivation world is like a patient whose cancer has spread throughout their body. Simply cutting off a piece of flesh is no longer enough to deal with it; they must first gather together before there is any hope of severing an arm to survive.

We must not only defeat the demon race, but also leave a prosperous world for future generations; otherwise, the sacrifices we make now will be meaningless.

Gu Qing was busy directing the Immortal Sect Army.

The void battlefield, however, presented a completely different picture. The top-level experts there were geniuses who had reached the pinnacle of the Cangwu Realm and were just one step away from ascending to immortality.

Their background, knowledge, and methods are far from ordinary.

Who hasn't had a stroke of luck in their youth? If you don't have the opportunity or the ability to get to this point, it's extremely difficult to completely kill someone; you have to plan carefully and think long-term.

Only then would there be an opportunity to massacre them.

In a head-on fight, if there's even the slightest chance of defeat, no one will persist; they'll flee if they can.

Ethnic conflict exists, and countless descendants will continue to contend with each other.

When a person dies, their path to immortality ends. Ascension is the ultimate pursuit for this group of people, which is why those fifth-rank high-level experts are so angry and ruthless when they die.

These were all carefully cultivated henchmen; the death of even one of them would be enough to cause a powerful faction considerable distress, let alone so many in such a short period.

Gu Qing is an anomaly. No one expected him to suddenly become so strong. It hasn't been that long since he broke through to the fifth rank.

The battles in the Void Battlefield can't be finished in just one or two days.

It's normal for it to drag on for a year or two; once the winner is decided, there's no need for such a prolonged standoff.

however.

That's the principle, but when an accident actually happens, no one can predict it.

Just as Gu Qing had completely consolidated his victory in the Battle of Burial Valley, established a front-line camp, set up formations, and dispatched small teams to begin a sweeping cleanup of the Western Wilderness Spirit Land.

A message fell into his hands; it was a secret letter sent by Tian Yunzi. After reading it, even he, with his strong character, found it unbelievable!

The sixth seat of the human race, Tianjianzi.

The fourth seat of the demon race: the Sun-Devouring Hou.

—Together we fell!
Both of them are old rivals of the Endless Wilderness. Tian Jianzi is slightly inferior to the Sun Devouring Hou, but relying on the super destructive power of sword cultivators and two great sword techniques, he is already invincible.

The fall of Tian Jianzi is heartbreaking.

The fact that the Sun-Devouring Beast was also killed is even more unbelievable!
"How can this be?"

Gu Qing frowned. The jade slip said that the two of them had only been fighting in the void battlefield for a short time when they fell into the Endless Wilderness. They fought their way to the western border of the wilderness and then disappeared.

The disappearance theory is more credible, but after investigation, it was found that the area was originally barren land, but now it has been filled with countless violent spiritual energies, which are no less than several peak fifth-grade spiritual veins.

The answer is already quite obvious.

When Tian Yunzi mentioned this matter, he was warning Gu Qing to be careful and not to go hunting down any demon lord alone, lest he suffer an unexpected and violent death.

There are clues among them.

—A ghostly aura!
The Cangwu cultivation world is dominated by four races: humans, demons, ghosts, and dragons. It's normal for the Netherworld to be qualified to participate, but there are many suspicious points. (End of Chapter)
