I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 847 The battlefield was instantly wiped out!

After passing through Wangxiang Pass, Gu Yuanqing flew all the way to a mountain peak hundreds of miles away.

The courtyard appeared, the grand formation was activated, expelling the demonic aura, and the courtyard quickly returned to its pristine state.

Gu Yuanqing lay leisurely in the courtyard, poured himself some spiritual tea, picked up a book, and read it while quietly waiting for Li Miaoxuan to arrive.

About two hours later, Li Miaoxuan's figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

Looking at the leisurely Gu Yuanqing, she couldn't help but smile, saying with a hint of teasing, "You're quite leisurely, still having the mood to enjoy tea and read books in this realm surrounded by demons. Judging from your demeanor, you don't seem to be here to hunt demons, but rather to enjoy the scenery."

Gu Yuanqing put down his book and chuckled, "Life goes on. In the long years, a balance between work and rest is essential for longevity."

Upon hearing this, Li Miaoxuan's eyes flickered. She walked to the stone table, poured herself a cup of spiritual tea, and took a small sip: "That makes sense. So, what are the plans next?"

Gu Yuanqing asked, "How much time do you have this time?"

Li Miaoxuan said, "If there is no large-scale attack from extraterrestrial demons, it is fine to stay for a year or two."

Gu Yuanqing laughed and said, "That's good. The Heavenly Demons in this world aren't so easy to find now."

Li Miaoxuan asked in surprise, "Weren't you planning to go directly to the Demon Abyss?"

Gu Yuanqing shook his head: "Forget it, it's best not to get involved in this karma. Just a few days ago, I entered the Nine Realms Divine Continent, and the Immaculate Zen Forest came knocking on my door..."

He recounted the whole story to Li Miaoxuan.

After listening, Li Miaoxuan nodded slightly and said, "The fundamental path of this world is the visualization and spiritual cultivation method. The Zen Master of Wugou Zen Forest is proficient in Buddhism and may have comprehended the supernatural power of destiny in Buddhism. This supernatural power can sense heavenly secrets, cause and effect, and destiny. He must have 'seen' something."

Gu Yuanqing nodded in agreement: "That's right. So staying out of it is the best choice. The cause and effect of this world is none of our business. Hunting down the Heavenly Demons can also relieve the pressure on the Nine Domains Divine Continent. That would be fulfilling our duty as fellow human beings."

As he spoke, Gu Yuanqing stood up and said, "You haven't been to this world for many years. Do you need some time to adjust?"

Li Miaoxuan rolled her eyes at Gu Yuanqing and said, "You've already stood up and are ready to leave, how are you going to give me a chance to adjust?"

Gu Yuanqing laughed and said, "I just got up to stretch because I've been sitting for too long. If you need to sense the Dao of this world, I'll wait for you."

Li Miaoxuan also stood up and said with a light laugh, "Never mind, although there is still a lot of time, if we can finish things sooner, we can prevent any unforeseen circumstances."

"If that's the case, then let's set off!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them left together, with Gu Yuanqing using the Dao of Space to carry Li Miaoxuan forward.

The number of celestial demons in this realm is countless, but most of them are below the Yin-Yang level. Although there are quite a few truly high-level celestial demons, they are scattered throughout the vast and boundless demon land and are extremely difficult to find.

The Heavenly Demon's strategy is not to fight the human race head-on, but to constantly provoke and corrupt the human race's spirit and will. In order to prevent the human race from attacking and killing them, its aura is not as unrestrained as before the Demonic Calamity. It is hidden among the demonic energy and ordinary Heavenly Demons, and it is difficult to detect unless you get close.

They don't stay in one place; their whereabouts are unpredictable, so even Gu Yuanqing needs to spend some time searching for them.

Gu Yuanqing and Li Miaoxuan's goal is only the level of Chaotic Immortality and above. Gu Yuanqing, needless to say, is already of little use to Chaotic Immortality. Li Miaoxuan herself has also achieved Chaotic Immortality, and only demons of this level and above can be of great use to her.

In other words, Gu Yuanqing's spatial abilities are unparalleled, making travel extremely convenient. Otherwise, even with a year and a half, he might not have made any significant progress.

Their strategy was to travel along the human race's defensive line; if the demons wanted to attack the human race, they naturally wouldn't stray too far.

Moreover, the two had already killed many of the immortal-level demons under the command of the Xuanyou Demon Lord, so they planned to bypass the direction of the Xuanyou Demon Lord and enter the domains of the Myriad Evils Demon Lord and the Seven Emotions Demon Lord.

The demons in these two directions have not been cleared by Gu Yuanqing, so besides the fact that there will be more high-level demons, their vigilance will probably be slightly weaker.

The three Demon Lords are distributed in a triangular shape in three directions of the Nine Realms Divine Continent, separated by hundreds of millions of miles.

Fortunately, Gu Yuanqing had already achieved the status of a Void Immortal, and his control over the Dao of Space had reached a new level. Even in this other world, with Li Miaoxuan by his side, he could cross nearly a thousand miles with a single step.

In just one day, one can travel nearly 40 million miles.

He also used spatial techniques to conceal their presence, using the Heavenly Eye of Void as an anchor point to traverse space.

At such speed, even if the Undying Demon of Chaos saw him, he wouldn't have time to escape.

The journey was fruitless; they only managed to kill one Chaos-level demon and a few Yin-Yang-level demons. Xuan You's Chaos-level Undying demons seemed to be deeper in the Demon Land and had not yet reached the vicinity of the defensive line.

Li Miaoxuan was slightly puzzled: "I see that there are traces of great battles around the human race's border passes, and many of these traces seem to have been left not long ago. It shouldn't be so peaceful. It's as if all the high-level demons have suddenly withdrawn."

"That is indeed a bit strange!"

Gu Yuanqing entered the Nine Heavens Domain some time ago, not just for sightseeing, but also because he had seen a lot of information about the Heavenly Demon from Ling Yi.

Beyond the Nine Heavens Domain, Heavenly Demons roam freely, including the Undying Chaos Heavenly Demons. Yet, this time, not a single Undying Chaos Heavenly Demon was seen.

He pondered for a moment: "Unless... the Heavenly Demons of this region know of my arrival! I did not hide my tracks much when I entered the Nine Domains Divine Continent, and many people saw me. The Great Hao Dynasty also knows of my arrival, and the Eclipse Moon Sect may have also received the news, which may cause the Heavenly Demons to retreat."

Li Miaoxuan nodded: "That's possible."

Gu Yuanqing's guess was not without reason. The subordinates of the Xuanyou Demon Lord had fought against him many times and knew his strength. Even if Xuanyou came, they could not do anything to him, unlike Ling Yi who had a domain to protect and dared not go out.

The Heavenly Demon is cunning and suspicious by nature. It is impossible for it to stay in place and wait to be slaughtered. In order to preserve its strength, it will withdraw and not give Gu Yuanqing a chance.

"It's alright, let's go into the territory of the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils and take a look. Surely they haven't retreated too! Even if they have, they can't have gone very far," Gu Yuanqing said with a smile.

The two of them weren't in a hurry either, thinking that Gu Yuanqing had patiently searched the void for decades in order to find traces of the Heavenly Demon.

A few days later, the distribution of the Heavenly Demons indeed changed. The Myriad Evils Heavenly Demon was the last to awaken and had never fought against Gu Yuanqing. His subordinates also did not know much about Gu Yuanqing, so they were naturally not so afraid.

Half a day later, Gu Yuanqing saw a Chaotic Undying Demon dwelling in a valley.

In the valley, bones lay scattered, and resentment and bad luck gathered.

Without saying much, Gu Yuanqing directly used the Myriad Manifestations Sword Formation to seal the area, and then Li Miaoxuan took action.

This celestial demon's body was over thirty feet long, entirely bluish-black, with black energy swirling around it, and countless tormented human faces appearing within it, all remnants of the souls of cultivators it had devoured.

In the past, it would have taken Li Miaoxuan quite a bit of effort to kill a Heavenly Demon of this level.

It can achieve immortality and reach the same level as the Heavenly Demon. When wielding the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, the power it displays is completely different from before.

The blade light transformed from the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine crisscrossed, enveloping the over thirty-foot-long, dark blue-green demonic body and slicing it open with countless deep, bone-revealing wounds.

The painful human face on the demon's body writhed wildly, black energy surged out, and granulation tissue quickly grew from the wounds, rapidly healing them.

Nine layers of illusory light flowed in Li Miaoxuan's eyes, and her Nine Tribulations True Eyes pierced through layers of demonic energy, even discerning the demonic body and finding the source of its original demonic thoughts.

With each wisp of primordial demonic thought severed by the blade, the power of this celestial demon was weakened by a fraction. It was as if this power at the Undying Chaos level was utterly ineffective under the blade's light, and was quickly obliterated. After sealing off the area, Gu Yuanqing stood aside with his arms crossed. He could see that Li Miaoxuan was not actually using her full strength at this moment, but rather using this celestial demon to hone herself.

In the spirit world, there's no chance to fight someone at full strength. Even when sparring, one always holds back. It's a completely different matter from a real battle.

Gu Yuanqing had also fought with her, but their cultivation levels were different, and the fight took place in the Beiquan Cave Heaven. No matter what, he could not contend with Gu Yuanqing, and naturally he did not get the satisfaction he wanted.

At this moment, facing the Heavenly Demon, he had no scruples whatsoever, and was naturally delighted at the sight of the prey.

However, Li Miaoxuan did not fight it for long. With the use of the Void Immortal Artifact, the strength of this Heavenly Demon was continuously weakened.

Even though it has the advantage of terrain, the loss caused by the obliteration of its original demonic thoughts cannot be compensated by demonic energy.

As for the other Heavenly Demons below the Chaotic Heaven level, they were completely unable to participate in this battle.

No matter how much this undead demon roared and howled, it was all in vain. The demonic thoughts could not break through the influence of the illusory immortal robes on Gu Yuanqing and Li Miaoxuan.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea has passed.

This monstrous, immortal demon was covered in wounds, its demonic body seemingly shrunk by half, yet it couldn't even touch the hem of Li Miaoxuan's clothes.

Li Miaoxuan made a hand seal.

The Dragon-Slaying Guillotine suddenly transformed, becoming a simple, heavy, and majestic dark golden guillotine standing atop a massive, ancient execution platform phantom that exuded the aura of ending and judgment.

A towering, armored phantom suddenly materialized!

He was clad in ancient armor, with images of various calamities, such as thunder, fire, wind, and swirling water, flowing across the armor plates.

The divine being's face was blurred, shrouded in the light of the Great Void Calamity and the chilling aura of slaughter; only his eyes revealed the supreme majesty that looked down upon all living beings and held the power of judgment.

This move was far more powerful than it had been back then, and its appearance terrified the Heavenly Demon.

A colossal hand covered in dark gold Dao patterns appeared, ignoring the counterattack of the Heavenly Demon's power. With a single grab, it seemed to transcend the boundaries of space and law, seizing the Heavenly Demon's head in one fell swoop.

No matter how the demon roared, twisted, or erupted, the giant hand remained unmoved, pressing the demon down with irresistible absolute power.

With a flick of her fingers, Li Miaoxuan sent the guillotine down.

The demon's head rolled off, and its howling abruptly ceased.

Then the entire demonic body quickly disintegrated, vanishing without a trace like ice and snow thrown into the blazing sun.

The illusory image of the deity vanished, and the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine transformed into a stream of light, swirling around Li Miaoxuan before finally settling in her hair and turning into a jade hairpin.

Li Miaoxuan's aura began to rise. She closed her eyes, stood in the void, circulated her inner energy, and harnessed the suddenly increased power.

Gu Yuanqing chuckled and activated the Myriad Manifestations Sword Formation of Calamity Control. Thousands of sword energies intertwined, and all the Heavenly Demons were reduced to ashes. Then, the Chaotic Primordial Flame ignited, refining all the remaining demonic thoughts.

After waiting for about half an hour, Li Miaoxuan opened her eyes.

Gu Yuanqing laughed and said, "If it's a Heavenly Demon of this level, how many would we need to kill?"

Li Miaoxuan pondered for a moment: "Five heads should be enough to reach the mid-stage of the Chaotic Undying Realm, but if one wants to reach the Great Perfection Realm, I'm afraid sixteen heads will be needed."

Gu Yuanqing then asked, "What if it's a Heavenly Demon at the Void Immortal level?"

Li Miaoxuan said, "That one is enough."

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Then that's fine, shall we go next?"

Li Miaoxuan nodded slightly.

Gu Yuanqing used the Dao of Space to sweep Li Miao away, and with one step he covered a thousand miles. At the same time, he said, "I just took a look. There seems to be another Heavenly Demon at the Shattering Heaven level about 300,000 miles away from here. Kill it too."

……

I've gained so much more since coming here.

In just one day, the two found another Great Demon of Chaos and Immortality.

After Li Miaoxuan was killed, her aura increased significantly.

The two found a place to rest for a while. Gu Yuanqing was fine, but Li Miaoxuan needed to stabilize her improved cultivation.

The second and third days yielded less success; they only managed to kill one Heavenly Demon at the Shattering Heaven level.

On the fourth day, the two unknowingly arrived outside a major border town.

The army of demons blotted out the sky and surrounded this important town guarding the array's core.

Outside the city walls, the garrison general was engaged in a fierce battle with a chaotic, immortal demon. This demon was humanoid, with a ferocious and terrifying face, two wings on its back, and was incredibly fast.

The soldiers in the city relied on the magic array to fight against the Heavenly Demon, suffering continuous casualties. Occasionally, some cultivators were devoured by the Heavenly Demon and turned against their comrades.

Everywhere was a scene of utter devastation!

As soon as Gu Yuanqing and Li Miaoxuan approached, the Heavenly Demons noticed them and swarmed over.

Gu Yuanqing said, "It seems we've come at the right time. Besides that Undying Chaos, there are two more at the Shattering Heaven level. If we kill all of them, it will be equivalent to at least two Undying Chaos."

Li Miaoxuan said, "You should also join the fight. There are so many demons, I can't handle them all by myself. If both sides fight, the sooner we can break the deadlock, the fewer casualties we'll suffer."

The two men had already made their moves in quick succession as they spoke.

However, as soon as Li Miaoxuan's Dragon-Slaying Guillotine transformed into a long blade and flew out, her expression faltered slightly.

It turned out that with a thought from Gu Yuanqing, a sword formation covered an area of ​​thousands of miles. With the sword energy intertwining, in an instant, the originally sky-covering army of demons was reduced to only the Great Demon of Chaos and the two Demons of Shattering Heaven.

The battlefield seemed to be cleared away in an instant. The human soldiers of the Nine Realms Divine Continent who were engaged in fierce battle were stunned. Some of their magical treasures and flying swords almost went out of control and fell.

The general who was fighting against the Undying Demon was startled by the sudden sword energy and was stunned after retreating.

Gu Yuanqing turned his head and smiled, "The rest is up to you."

Li Miaoxuan smiled helplessly and rode the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine toward the Great Demon of Chaos and Immortality.
