I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 825 Seeking Death
This is the Nine Heavens Moonlight Chain.

The Immortal Artifact is also a new magical treasure that Li Miaoxuan has acquired.

Although it is not as domineering and powerful as the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, it has its own unique uses.

The bracelet unfurled, transforming into nine fine, silken streams of moonlight that merged into the void.

hum-

An invisible spatial cage instantly took shape, isolating the area within hundreds of miles from the outside world. Above the cage, a phantom of a full moon appeared, its light scattering down.

Gu Yuanqing showed a slight surprise. The degree to which this magic weapon could restrict space was no less than that of the Tribulation Control Array he had enhanced with the Dao of Space.

Like the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, this magical artifact seems to surpass ordinary ethereal immortal artifacts on a certain level.

Having suffered many great losses, the Demon King knew that this clone was no match for Gu Yuanqing. He had only come to monitor Gu Yuanqing's movements and fled quickly when Gu Yuanqing approached.

He was also proficient in the art of space, and as long as the spatial confinement had not yet fully taken shape, he would have a chance to escape.

But his speed could not outpace light, and the light of the full moon hanging high in the sky fell upon his body, leaving traces of moonlight imprinted on him.

Li Miaoxuan formed a hand seal, and the Boundless Demon King, who had been traversing the void, emitted a faint light, revealing its outline a hundred miles away in the void.

With his concealment broken, the Demon King knew he could no longer hide. His demonic body exploded, transforming into violent demonic energy that disrupted the void and tore apart the power of the Nine Heavens Moon Chain. His original demonic thoughts seized the opportunity to escape.

Unexpectedly, the moonlight mark that clung to his body did not dissipate with the explosion of his demonic body, but instead became entangled in his original demonic thoughts.

The original demonic thought, which was originally formless and intangible and merged into the void, is now as conspicuous as a firefly in the dark night.

"Want to go?"

Gu Yuanqing chuckled lightly, then pointed his fingers like a sword and gently slashed at the void ahead where the demonic thought was fleeing.

The Great Annihilation Sword intertwined into a net and enveloped everything.

The Demon King of the Abyss used his supernatural powers to place himself between reality and illusion. The sword energy swept past, but it did not harm him in the slightest.

But this caused a brief pause. Gu Yuanqing pressed down in the void, and the Tribulation Control Array was formed, intending to completely imprison this clone.

Li Miaoxuan also took the opportunity to form a hand seal, and the power of the Nine Heavens Moon Chain enveloped the Demon King of No Return once again.

The Demon King of the Abyss let out a shriek, his primordial demonic thoughts converging into one, stirring the Great Dao of the Void, and obliterating the incoming force.

Gu Yuanqing, holding Li Miaoxuan's hand, took a step forward and caught up.

Seeing this, Wujian's heart sank. This power of moonlight was formless and intangible, and it was difficult to completely destroy it in such a short time. Moreover, as long as that magic weapon was not broken, he would not be able to escape.

He knew Gu Yuanqing quite well; his mastery of spatial techniques was unmatched by ordinary cultivators.

The combination of the magical artifact's sealing power and Gu Yuanqing's spatial power turned this world into a cage.

Seeing that escape through ordinary means was hopeless, this primordial demonic thought let out a sharp hiss once more and suddenly burst into flames.

The power of a Void Immortal burns with immense intensity.

The very fabric of heaven and earth seemed to tremble at that instant.

boom!
The void shattered, and he forcefully broke through a corner of the Moonlight Chain's blockade, escaping into the distance.

Gu Yuanqing reacted quickly, using spatial techniques with Li Miaoxuan to hold on tightly.

The Demon King of Boundless Space flashed dozens of times, traversing tens of thousands of miles. His demonic power gradually weakened due to the burning of his demonic energy, and he was eventually caught up by Gu Yuanqing.

"town!"

With a low shout, Gu Yuanqing pushed the spatial principles to their limit, freezing the space around the Demon King of No Return.

At the same time, Li Miaoxuan activated the Nine Heavens Moonlight Chain with all her might. Nine streams of moonlight reappeared from the void, weaving into a net that covered her entire body, imprisoning and gathering her!
The Demon King turned around, a hint of madness and ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, and suddenly turned and charged towards Li Miaoxuan.

If he can't kill Gu Yuanqing, surely he can kill a woman at the Shattered Heaven Realm?
How dare a woman who isn't even a godlike immortal come to hunt him down?
Gu Yuanqing snorted softly, and the Celestial World opened up, infinitely widening the distance between the Demon King of No Return and Li Miaoxuan. Even though the Demon King of No Return was also proficient in the Dao of Space, he could not break through the limit of this distance.

The Tribulation Control Formation was activated, and various sword energies transformed into layers of obstacles, aiming to strangle and suppress the Demon King of No Return.

"How could your human race withstand my demonic methods?" The Demon King of Boundless spoke in a cold voice, ignoring Gu Yuanqing's sword energy and forcibly breaking through with the power of his burning primordial demonic thoughts.

The robes on Li Miaoxuan's body burst forth with boundless light, but in an instant, the light of the robes seemed to be suppressed by some kind of power.

However, the original demonic thoughts of the Demon King of No Return suddenly disappeared.

This is the most primitive method of the Heavenly Demon, which uses the rules of heaven and earth to enter the depths of a cultivator's mind.

Its domineering nature lies in the fact that, apart from certain special methods, it is almost impossible to defend against. The touch of divine thoughts, the intersection of gazes, and even all kinds of tactile sensations can be used as a medium.

However, there are also disadvantages. Once it enters the mind, the roles of subject and object are reversed, and the cultivator takes the lead. As long as there are no flaws in the mind, even if the Heavenly Demon's original cultivation level is a level higher, it will not be of much use.

However, how can any living being be without flaws? Even the monsters of the Supreme Forgetfulness Sect are no exception.

However, for a celestial demon who has already achieved mastery in cultivation, this method is also the last and most unavoidable choice.

Gu Yuanqing's brow twitched, and he was about to use his true power, but he dared not gamble with Li Miaoxuan's life.

Li Miaoxuan remained calm, giving Gu Yuanqing a reassuring look, and said as if explaining, "If he escapes, I can't do anything about it, but if he comes to me on his own, he's just asking for death."

The next second, Gu Yuanqing vaguely saw the phantom of the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine flash by in Li Miaoxuan's eyes, and her cultivation strength actually began to rise steadily.

He opened his mouth, but in the end he just gave a thumbs up!

Li Miaoxuan smiled, then sat cross-legged in the void, closed her eyes to regulate her breathing, circulated her internal energy, and stabilized her aura.

Gu Yuanqing then opened up the Celestial Realm to guard the surroundings and protect the Dharma.

This advancement came suddenly. Even though the original demonic thoughts of this avatar of the Demon King of the Boundless Realm were not much left, its essence was that of a Void Immortal, while Li Miaoxuan was only at the Shattered Heaven Realm.

After killing it, Li Miaoxuan's gains were no less than those from killing a complete Chaos Undying Demon, forcing her to calm down and solidify her cultivation.

Gu Yuanqing's gaze kept falling on Li Miaoxuan.

He thought to himself, "It seems that my child's mother has many secrets. With such protective methods, she can even kill a demonic being who is a mere mortal. Compared to me, who only has confidence on Mount Beiquan, she has it much easier."

"I originally planned to kill a few Chaotic Undying Demons to help him reach the peak of Shattering Heaven, but now it seems that's no longer necessary! Life... is full of surprises!"

It took Li Miaoxuan half a day to stabilize her breathing.

Gu Yuanqing suddenly looked up towards the southwest, his Heavenly Eye of Void shimmering with starlight.

Liao Changyin, who had just emerged from the ground, suddenly stiffened, raised his head, and met Gu Yuanqing's gaze. He gave an awkward smile, then bowed respectfully.

Gu Yuanqing calmly withdrew his gaze, but a hint of warning had already been conveyed in his eyes.

Liao Changyin's figure blurred, and he dared not approach. Only after retreating a thousand miles did he wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Are you kidding me? This is supposed to be the Undying Chaos? Has Sect Master Ling misjudged him?"

The scene just now was far more terrifying than when he first encountered Gu Yuanqing's attack; the chilling sword intent in his eyes almost froze his soul and true essence.

It was as if he would have faced annihilation if he had taken just half a step closer; the warning from his Dao Heart still left him with lingering fear.

Compared to that, the confrontation a few days ago seemed like a joke played on me by the other side!

……

The Land of Demons.

The Demon King of the Infernal Realm felt a sudden, intense pain in his head. His primordial demonic thoughts churned within his demonic body, and his demonic energy seemed to be unable to be suppressed any longer.

Beside him, the Eclipse Demon King was wiping the longsword in his hand with blood-stained animal hide. The longsword was mottled with cracks, and bright red blood kept seeping into the sword from the hide, but it seemed that it could never be filled.

He sensed the strangeness in Wujian, but said indifferently, "If you lose another part of your original demonic thought, I'm afraid you won't be able to protect your true demonic seed."

The Demon King of Wujian looked at Eclipse Moon and said coldly, "You'd better mind your own business. Although you cultivate the path of the Heavenly Demon, you are ultimately not a Heavenly Demon. If you fail in your duties, you know what kind of punishment you will suffer."

"Whether you are a Heavenly Demon or not, do you think it matters to the Lord?" The Eclipse Demon King revealed a sinister smile: "As for you, Wujian, you had better keep your demon seed from dissipating. A demon king who has fallen in power will find it difficult to catch the Lord's eye again. Do you think the Lord will agree to let me use your original demonic thoughts to replenish my demon seed? We two are enemies, aren't we?"

"You have no chance," the Demon King of the Abyss replied, then suddenly strode into the depths of the valley, for he had heard Xuan You's call. He took a few steps forward, then turned back and said, "I wonder if you still remember a saying of your human race—'Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!'"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wujian headed into the depths of the valley, his figure engulfed by the churning demonic energy.

The Eclipse Demon King indifferently withdrew his gaze and continued wiping his longsword.

"Greetings, Lord!" The Demon King of the Abyss knelt on one knee.

The voice of the Demon Lord of the Dark Netherworld came from the high platform: "Where has he gone?"

The Demon King of the Abyss said, "We are still near the Abyss Mountains, and it is still 600 million miles away from the Demon Abyss."

"Six hundred million miles, that's really slow, isn't it? It's been a long time since I've felt time pass so slowly," the Demon Lord of the Dark Nether sighed softly.

The Demon King of the Infernal Realm said, "Gu Yuanqing was traveling with a woman, enjoying the scenery along the way, as if he was using the power of the mountains and rivers to refine a magical artifact."

"Traveling around with a woman?" The voice of the Demon Lord of the Dark Netherworld rang out amidst the churning demonic energy, revealing neither joy nor anger. "It seems that the one behind him truly disregards this demonic land and me."

"Or perhaps... they want to lure me out of the abyss?"

The Demon King of the Abyss lowered his body, not daring to speak recklessly. If there were anything the Demon Lord could say, he dared not accept it, or even dared not hear it.

But Wujian didn't respond, which made Xuanyou even more dissatisfied.

"Um?!"

"My lord, you are wise!" The Demon King of the Abyss felt a pair of cold eyes fall on him, and lowered his head even further. "Your subordinate... Your subordinate is foolish and failed to see his true intentions."

After a long while, the voice of the Demon Lord of the Dark Abyss returned to its calm and still tone: "Enough. Since he is moving slowly, you continue to keep an eye on him and see what tricks they are up to. Remember, protect your demon seed. If there is any more unnecessary loss, you know the consequences. I don't want to raise a bunch of useless people."

"Yes! Your subordinate understands!" The Demon King of the Abyss felt a chill in his heart and quickly replied.

"Go down."

……

Gu Yuanqing served as the protector for a whole day. In the Demon Land, various demonic creatures would occasionally venture into the vicinity, but with a flash of sword light and the ignition of the Chaotic Yuan Fire, these demonic creatures would completely disappear without a trace.

The people from the Nine Realms Divine Continent did not leave, but instead bypassed Gu Yuanqing and headed deeper into the Demon Land.

Gu Yuanqing didn't bother with them. As long as the people of the Nine Domains Divine Continent didn't get in his way, that was fine.

The next morning, Li Miaoxuan woke up from her meditation, her aura seemingly having risen to the peak of the Shattered Heaven realm.

"Thank you!" Li Miaoxuan said softly.

"There's no need for thanks between us," Gu Yuanqing smiled, then added, "I observe that your aura has already reached the peak of the Shattered Heaven Realm. You're just waiting for your aura to become more complete and for you to find the right opportunity to break through to the Undying Chaos Realm. How about I send you back to Beiquan Mountain first?"

Li Miaoxuan rose gracefully and smiled sweetly: "Since we're here, there's no rush to go back. Although this other world is tainted by demonic energy, it still has its charms. The journey to the Demon Abyss seems far, and you still need to nurture your Dao artifact. If you don't mind bringing another person along, how about I accompany you for a while?"

Gu Yuanqing laughed: "I couldn't be happier! When I was a child, I lived in the Prince's mansion and my dream was to one day become a master of martial arts, travel the world with a beautiful woman, and visit famous mountains and rivers together. Now, wouldn't you say that dream has come true?"

Li Miaoxuan smiled and said, "Of course it counts."

……

Sometimes it's just like that: you might plant a willow with good intentions but it won't grow, while you might plant a tree without thinking and it will thrive.

They had come all this way in search of the Great Demon of Chaos and Immortality, but to no avail. Now, as they wandered the Demon Realm at will, a demon had come to them of its own accord.

Without Gu Yuanqing even lifting a finger, Li Miaoxuan's three illusory immortal artifacts—one for defense, one for offense, and one for trapping—worked in perfect harmony, allowing her to single-handedly slay the Chaotic Undying Demon.

As the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine fell, the aura of the Heavenly Demon vanished completely, as if all its power had been devoured by some mysterious entity.

"Is it the Primordial Heavenly Furnace?" Gu Yuanqing wasn't sure.

Although Li Miaoxuan killed the Undying Demon of Chaos with this attack, her aura did not increase.

This confirms the previous speculation that the power gained from slaying external demons is not immediately converted into cultivation strength, but can be stored.

Just like in the game of my past life, you kill monsters and save the experience points, which you only add when you need them.

This cheat code really appealed to Gu Yuanqing. If it were someone else, he might have tried to find out more about it.

The two strolled leisurely along the way, as if this land was not a demonic place that everyone feared, but a beautiful paradise on earth.

The Demon King of the Abyss was still monitoring Gu Yuanqing from afar, but now it could only vaguely sense him from tens of thousands of miles away. It no longer approached him or touched him. Even when it tried to probe him, it would only be a wisp of demonic thought that it could discard at any time, possessing an ordinary demonic beast.

Liao Changyin was utterly speechless. He had traveled thousands of miles, risking his life to follow them, just to watch people sightseeing.

Moreover, the Heavenly Demons in the Demon Land allowed these two to be so arrogant and undisguised.
Where is the Eclipse Moon? Where is the Demon King of the Abyss? Where is the Lord of the Netherworld?

He even suspected that this person might be connected to the Demon Lord!
