I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 932 How can one refuse supplies delivered to one's door?

Gu Yuanqing didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Demon Realm, but he would still occasionally keep an eye on what was happening there.

He naturally wouldn't have been unaware that these magical beasts and human demons had entered the Dragon Demon Realm.

He and Li Miaoxuan stood together on the mountaintop, both of them able to clearly see the scenes in the Dragon Demon Realm.

"What are they trying to do?" Li Miaoxuan stared down.

Gu Yuanqing's gaze swept across the Linglong Realm: "Perhaps they intend to use a blood sacrifice to force out the Beiquan Realm. Ordinary methods wouldn't require bringing so many magical beasts."

Once you reach the Chaotic Heaven level, simply increasing numbers becomes largely ineffective, let alone at the demigod level. While the power of the Chaotic Heaven Undying level might still be able to harm a demigod, below the Chaotic Heaven realm, even if they stand there and let you attack, they won't be able to get a scratch.

So, apart from that, Gu Yuanqing couldn't figure out why so many magical beasts would gather in the Dragon Demon Realm.

"Should we take action to clean things up first?" Li Miaoxuan asked.

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Wait a little longer, let's see what they're up to, and see if anyone else comes. The power in these people all comes from the True Demon, and what they're doing is trying to free their master. Last time, the 'Shadow' clone entered the Northern Spring Realm in order to enter the Linglong Realm, but its real purpose should be the True Demon Soul of the Ancient Realm. So their move is probably to force me out, and then they'll make other plans."

Li Miaoxuan nodded and said nothing more.

The reason she gave this reminder was that these demigod-level True Demon Apostles possessed the power of True Demons, which could not be regarded as ordinary demigods.

But then I thought, even if these people used the power that the altar could summon, there should be a limit, and it should be difficult for them to surpass the level of a true god. Otherwise, the battle with Demon God Mountain would not still be at a stalemate.

She was also very familiar with Gu Yuanqing's strength; even a god couldn't do anything to the Northern Spring Realm!
……

Four demigod-level True Demon Apostles stood in mid-air in the Dragon Demon Realm, above the former location of Beiquan Mountain.

They were all draped in wide-hooded black robes, enveloped by an aura of absolute darkness.

Within a radius of about ten feet around him, space distorted and light vanished, as if even existence itself was becoming blurred, with only his scarlet pupils being particularly chilling.

One of them spoke slowly, his voice hoarse: "Is this the place?"

The other person raised their head, their demonic eyes flashing as they peered into the void. After a moment, they hesitated and asked, "Is there really another world hidden here?"

The third person also turned to look at Ying, his gaze filled with scrutiny and doubt. He had been here before, but had not detected anything despite his methods.

Ying nodded slightly: "It was here back then. Before I obtained the Lord's power, I had come here several times. Later, I also sent an avatar to sneak in from under the cave, but there has been no response since then."

The True Demon Apostle who had spoken earlier clenched his right fist and punched the void below.

Wherever the fist passed, space shattered like fragile glass, revealing the chaotic void beneath.

However, as the force of the punch dissipated and the shattered space slowly healed, it remained empty.

"If they hid here, that would be quite a clever tactic,"

"It shouldn't be a magic array, but rather a grotto-heaven or secret realm. It's perfectly integrated with the void, making it impossible to touch with ordinary means."

"If it is really as you say, and this small world can connect the Demon Realm and the Linglong Realm, then that would be truly interesting."

“Shadow, you were in charge of this matter. It’s best if your judgment is correct, otherwise we’ll have wasted the Lord’s divine blood and gained nothing…” The first person to speak spoke in a cold tone. He didn’t continue, but the meaning in his scarlet eyes was clear enough.

Ying slightly turned her body, two red lights beneath her hood meeting her gaze, and coldly said, "Besides this, do you have any other method?"

The man sneered and said, "In my opinion, we should eliminate Demon God Mountain at all costs. Demon God Mountain is the most important node in the array that suppresses the Master's physical body. Moreover, the Master's head is also in Demon God Mountain. If we destroy Demon God Mountain, as long as the sealing power is weakened, the Master may be able to summon back the Demon Soul. At that time, breaking the seal will be a piece of cake!"

Ying sneered and said sarcastically, "Last time you forced your way into Demon God Mountain and were almost completely suppressed, almost affecting our grand plan. What do you take Demon God Mountain for? The magic array there was specifically designed to restrain the Lord's power. Don't you know what that mountain itself is?"

"A true god who has been dead for countless years, how could he possibly come back to life? Even if he did come back to life and had some power, if you were all willing to join forces, things wouldn't have come to this!"

"If you don't believe me, then go ahead and try. But this time, don't expect us to save you," Ying said coldly.

"you……"

"Alright, stop arguing. The Lord's affairs are more important," one of them advised.

"Hmph!" The first person to speak snorted coldly, his pupils growing even more crimson.

Ying ignored the man and stepped forward, looking into the void. He said in a deep voice, "Gu Yuanqing, I know you are still here. The demonic energy beneath the cave is still being devoured by your magic array, so hiding won't help you."

Gu Yuanqing naturally wouldn't reply. He had actually heard such words many times before. Over the years, quite a few people had come looking for him, and he was too lazy to deal with them one by one.

Besides, some things are useless no matter how much you say.

After waiting for a while, Ying said again, "Gu Yuanqing, do you really not want to show yourself? I'll give you one last chance. Joining the Lord is your only way out! Otherwise, even if you escape to the Dharma Source Realm, it will be useless once the Lord is born."

Still no response.

"Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for disregarding human sentiments... Let's do it!" Shadow said.

One of the true demon apostles nodded, bowed, and opened his arms, revealing a divine statue in his hands.

The statue was entirely black, with a snake's tail and a human body. It had a pair of spiral horns on its forehead, and its face was half-smiling, with its eyes half-closed.

The moment it appeared, the demonic energy in the Dragon Demon Realm seemed to freeze instantly, and all the demonic beasts prostrated themselves on the ground.

……

Inside the North Spring Cave, Gu Yuanqing and Li Miaoxuan witnessed everything clearly.

"Could this statue be the statue of the true demon?" Li Miaoxuan asked.

Gu Yuanqing nodded: "That should be true. I have seen this statue twice before. Once it was in the hands of the Boundary Abyss Demon Clan, and the other time it was in the hands of Qin Baijun."

“Qin Baijun? How could he?” Li Miaoxuan glanced at Gu Yuanqing.

She hadn't heard that name in a long time.

When she returned to the Qian Yuan Realm, she met some of her former teachers from the Lingxu Sect, but only a handful of them were close to her. The others were no longer important.

Gu Yuanqing said, "Ancient Realm."

"Then it's not surprising." Li Miaoxuan nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

……

In the Dragon Demon Realm.

Ying took out a crystal bottle the size of a baby's fist, and inside the bottle was a drop of blood.

The blood was scarlet, with black energy churning within it, sometimes changing to a dark gold. With each shift in color, it seemed as if millions of lives were being annihilated amidst their wails.

This is the blood of the true demon!

He released the seal, and the blood of the true demon floated up before falling into the center of the statue's brow.

The next moment, demonic energy surged, and the divine statue flew up and hovered in mid-air, transforming into a life-sized figure. The four demigods, along with numerous chaotic immortal demons, all knelt on the ground.

"We humbly beseech the power of our Lord!"

The statue raised its head and looked at the blood moon, whose radiance gathered and fell upon the Dragon Demon Realm.

The statue's eyes began to turn crimson, as if it had come to life from an inanimate object, or as if it had awakened from a deep sleep.

And in the sky, the blood moon also suddenly changed drastically!
In the very center of the full moon, a vertical crack slowly appeared, growing larger and larger until it finally transformed into a gigantic scarlet demonic eye!

……

In the Demon God Mountain.

Lie Shanyu stood with his hands behind his back. Over the years, he seemed to have made considerable progress beyond the demigod level.

As he watched the blood moonlight falling on Demon God Mountain dim, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "These demons are finally going to cause trouble for Gu Yuanqing."

Lie Shanyi stood behind him and said, "In the end, they are just demons. Their minds are clouded by demonic energy. My brother only needed to guide them slightly, and they fell for it."

Lie Shanyu said, "It's not exactly a trap. Perhaps Gu Yuanqing really does have a way to get to the Linglong Realm. Hmph, he wants to sit back and watch the tigers fight, living a carefree life. How can I, the Emperor, let him have his way!"

Lie Shanyi said, "Even my imperial brother couldn't force him to come out, so I'm afraid these demons don't have that ability either."

Lie Shanyu smiled faintly: "That's not necessarily true. Don't underestimate these demons. They possess the power of a demon lord and should not be underestimated. Look at the Demon Court, the Barbarian Clan, and the Asura Clan. Their foundations are not weak, but when faced with these demons, they almost suffered annihilation even after exhausting their resources."

Some of their methods are precisely what our Demon God Mountain can counter, and some they dare not use against us. Otherwise, even if we were to deal with them, it wouldn't be so easy.

and……"

At this point, Lie Shanyu paused for a moment, then continued, "For us, it would be best if they could force Gu Yuanqing to show himself, or rather, force him to find a way to notify the Dharma Source Realm. Even if they can't, as long as these demons truly use the power of the Demon Lord, it will inevitably cause other disturbances."

I don't believe those guys upstairs would be completely oblivious.

Lie Shanyi was silent for a moment: "What if they really can't see it?"

Lie Shanyu glanced at Lie Shanyi slightly and said calmly, "Then let fate decide!"

……

In other parts of the Demon Realm, the light of the Blood Moon dimmed, but in the Dragon Demon Realm, its light appeared dazzling.

It was as if the blood moon had gathered all the power it had directed elsewhere and brought it down upon the Dragon Demon Realm. Under this light, even the air seemed to have turned into churning blood.

At that very moment, hundreds of millions of demonic beasts in the Dragon Demon Realm let out a mournful roar, and their bodies exploded!
Flesh and blood, bones, demonic energy, and remnant souls—everything was drawn, fused, and refined by an invisible force at the moment of the explosion, ultimately converging into vast, blood-red rivers.

Some long rivers are interconnected, transforming into lines of runes.

Some transformed into magical runes.

In an instant, a massive altar took shape.

Then all the power converged inward and surged into the statue.

In an instant, the statue seemed to come to life, and a vertical eye opened between its eyebrows.

Extreme darkness and the aura of death poured out from it, spreading out as if it were a tangible force, and these powers intertwined with the light of the blood moon in the sky.

boom!
The demonic fire suddenly ignited and rapidly expanded, instantly engulfing the area within a radius of thousands of miles, turning it into a purgatory!
The flames were an eerie dark red, and wherever they passed, space melted, collapsed, and shattered like wax, revealing the chaotic void turbulence behind them.

However, beyond that void, there was still nothing.

At least, that's how it seems!
Ying frowned slightly; he could feel someone's gaze fixed on him.

……

Beiquan Cave Heaven is located at the summit of the main peak.

Gu Yuanqing stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze piercing through the barrier of the cave and landing on the void in the Dragon Demon Domain that was scorched by demonic fire.

Li Miaoxuan stood beside him, also watching intently.

Suddenly, Li Miaoxuan noticed that the expression on the person beside her seemed a little different, as if there was a subtle change in her expression that was somewhat amused.

"What's wrong?" she asked softly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanqing's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile: "It just feels... kind of interesting."

Li Miaoxuan was slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

Gu Yuanqing's smile deepened as he said, "Tell me, why do these people all like to deliver goods to my door? First there was the Great Sun Sky-Patrolling Mirror from Demon God Mountain, then countless Yin spirits from the Ancient Realm, and now these True Demon Apostles from the Underground Cave. It's as if they're afraid my Northern Spring Realm is growing too slowly?"

Li Miaoxuan was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head and smiled.

At this moment, she clearly felt that the space between the Northern Spring Realm and the Dragon Demon Realm had suddenly shrunk a little.

The Northern Spring Realm, which had been completely hidden in the void, seemed to deliberately leak out a faint aura at this moment, and some different ripples appeared in the space.

And this... is enough for someone with ulterior motives to notice.

In the Dragon Demon Realm.

Beneath the raging flames of the True Demon, one of the True Demon Apostles suddenly turned its head sharply, its two scarlet beams fixed on a certain spot in the void.

There, which was originally empty, now seemed to have something trembling slightly.

The shattered space should have presented irregular spatial turbulence, but at this moment, it seemed as if some kind of regular ripples appeared.

"Found it, there it is!" His voice suddenly rose.

The other three apostles also noticed the fleeting spatial anomaly almost simultaneously. The four of them activated the altar formed from the blood and soul of the demonic beasts, and the power belonging to their lord surged into the altar's array.

In the sky, the light in that demonic eye quickly condensed again, and following the guidance of the four demigods, it accurately landed on the location of Beiquan Mountain.

The power became more condensed, and the might of the True Demon Fire instantly surged several times over, scorching that void wildly!

In the northern part of the city.

Gu Yuanqing smiled slightly. He could clearly feel the power of the blood moon, the demonic energy, and the burning flames being continuously devoured, refined, and decomposed by the Northern Spring Realm, and then transformed into nutrients to nourish this world.

Although this force is not particularly large in the current Northern Spring Realm, but...

When someone offers him power, how could he refuse?
