I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 933 The Awakening Demon Soul

The stronger the Northern Spring Realm becomes, the stronger one's own power also becomes.

Besides having more power available during battles, the various blessings received during daily cultivation also seem to be closely related to the Northern Spring Realm.

For example, spiritual energy is as vast as the sea.

Every time the Northern Spring Realm undergoes a transformation, the spiritual energy it can provide to Gu Yuanqing becomes purer.

The last time it devoured the Yin spirits of the ancient realm, the spirituality of the Northern Spring Realm increased. Consequently, it felt that the spiritual energy provided by the Northern Spring Realm was more abundant, and this spirituality accelerated the perfection speed of the Dao Source True Seed.

The Northern Spring Realm transformed into a world, where the sun and moon, yin and yang, rotated in turn, forming a self-contained entity that was constantly regenerating and could also draw power from the void.

However, absorbing other external forces can accelerate the growth of the Beiquan World.

Ordinary power is too weak for a world to have much effect, and it doesn't interest Gu Yuanqing at all.

However, the power of the Blood Moon seems to be somewhat unusual. After being devoured, it not only gains strength but also contains other profound mysteries.

The benefits of absorbing each power to the Northern Spring Realm are different, and the power of the Blood Moon is also different from ordinary demonic energy.

Some say the source of the Demon Realm's power lies above the Blood Moon, while others say the Blood Moon of the Demon Realm is the vertical eye between the eyebrows of a true demon, a condensation of his entire cultivation.

Li Miaoxuan could also sense that the Northern Spring Realm was devouring the power of the falling blood moon. She glanced at it and said, "The power of this blood moon also comes from the True Demon. We must be careful not to devour too much, lest the demonic path invade the Great Dao of the Northern Spring Realm."

Gu Yuanqing laughed and said, "Not at all. I'm more worried that they'll stop once they realize they can't truly shake the Northern Spring Realm."

Li Miaoxuan said, "Judging from the current situation, as time goes by, the power of the blood moon drawn by the blood sacrifice formation is getting stronger and stronger. They believe that they have forced the Northern Spring Realm to vaguely show its presence from the very beginning, so how could they give up so easily? At least they will persist for a while longer. However, since they have come together, they may have other means."

Gu Yuanqing nodded and smiled, "We should be a little wary of that. This world suppresses the physical body of a true demon, and there might be demonic artifacts there. It's not that I'm worried about it harming the Northern Spring Realm, but I'm afraid that these true demon apostles carrying the power of true demons might escape."

Li Miaoxuan said, "These true demon apostles may not be the real ones."

Gu Yuanqing said, "Of course not. Shadow suffered a great loss at my hands back then, and didn't even dare to touch the seal of the Dragon Demon Domain's underground cave. How could he risk all his power to come here? However, what I want is not their lives, but the true demon power within them. This thing is of great use to me."

Li Miaoxuan glanced at Gu Yuanqing, but did not ask what it was used for. Instead, she said, "To be honest, this True Demon Power is really strange. Back then, this shadow was just a wisp of Qiu Weifeng's spirit. In terms of power, it couldn't even reach the level of a Celestial. But such an insignificant wisp of spirit, after being killed by you many times, actually reached the level of a demigod. It's simply unbelievable."

Gu Yuanqing said, "This is also why I have never wanted to actually touch the underground cave. Deep inside the underground cave, there should be a sealed true demon body. Even if you don't actually come into contact with such an existence, just being radiated by its leaked power may affect your mind."

Li Miaoxuan nodded: "It's good to be cautious when facing an existence of this level. Besides, even if we find it, we can't deal with it at all. It's better to keep our distance."

In the Northern Spring Realm, Gu Yuanqing and Li Miaoxuan chatted idly while observing the changes in the outside world.

Sensing the anomaly in the space, the four True Demon Apostles continuously activated the magic array, drawing down the power of the Blood Moon, and then using the divine statue to transform it into demonic fire to burn the void.

The power of the demonic fire grew stronger and stronger, and within the flames, all matter seemed to be reduced to nothingness.

The earth below began to melt and disintegrate, while the land further below turned into flowing magma, which was then scorched by the demonic fire into glass-like crystals.

The spatial structure within the Dragon Demon Realm seemed to be in chaos, with countless fine spatial cracks spreading in all directions like a spider web.

However, the Northern Spring Realm, hidden deep in the void, remained elusive, as if it were about to be forced out at any moment, yet always just a hair's breadth away from being revealed.

The four True Demon Apostles' eyes flashed red as they continuously activated the magic array.

The altar, formed from the blood sacrifice of demonic beasts, shone even brighter, with streaks of crimson runes moving through the void like living things, drawing down the power of the blood moon.

A long time passed.

The shadowy figure gazed down at the void, which distorted and warped under the scorching demonic flames, and spoke again: "Gu Yuanqing, I know you're in there. Show yourself. If you're willing to submit to the master, there's still a chance for your survival. Otherwise..."

He raised his hand and pointed to the sky, where the blood moon had transformed into a scarlet demonic eye.

"Under the blood moon, once the demonic fire is ignited, it will never cease. It will burn this place day and night, for a year, ten years, a hundred years... until your hidden cave is completely reduced to ashes! Do you really think that your mere little world can withstand the supreme power of the Lord?"

After he finished speaking, the void fell silent.

A moment later, a cold laugh echoed from the void, tinged with mockery and disdain: "Don't be so arrogant! I'd like to see what you're really capable of!"

Within the boundaries of Beiquan, at the summit of the main peak.

Gu Yuanqing turned to look at Li Miaoxuan beside him, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said with a soft laugh, "Give them a little more confidence."

Li Miaoxuan covered her mouth and smiled: "You're afraid they'll run away."

Gu Yuanqing said leisurely, "Since it's a home delivery, we can't let their kindness go to waste."

In the Dragon Demon Realm.

Upon hearing the sound, the two crimson lights under the hood suddenly surged!
"He was indeed among them!" His voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

The other True Demon Apostle's eyes also gleamed with excitement: "It's good that you're here!"

"Activate the altar with all your might! The Lord's blood cannot be wasted; force him to reveal himself completely!"

The four apostles simultaneously channeled their power into the altar formed from the flesh and blood of demonic beasts.

The altar trembled violently, and the blood-red runes appearing on it became increasingly dense.

The crimson pillar of light falling from the blood moon instantly increased several times in size, and the power of the demonic fire also rose accordingly.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

In the Dragon Demon Realm, demonic fire raged. The flames, formed from the power of the Blood Moon, had gradually changed from their initial dark red to almost black. With each flicker, they annihilated the surrounding space, as if even nothingness itself was about to be completely dissolved in the flames.

In the void, the outline of a mountain reappeared.

From the initial occasional spatial fluctuations to the increasingly intense fluctuations, a spatial barrier could be clearly felt, and now, the mountain seems to be truly about to be forced out.

The four True Demon Apostles' eyes flashed red. After a month of continuous urging, even with their demigod-level cultivation, they were showing signs of fatigue.

But as the mountain silhouette grew clearer, the weariness was replaced by excitement. "Almost there! Almost there!" an apostle roared, his voice hoarse yet filled with fervor.

The figure stood at the forefront, the crimson light beneath the hood fixed on the mountain shadow, his voice low and menacing: "Gu Yuanqing, are you still going to resist?"

You should be able to sense that the power of the demonic fire is still rising, and the power of the blood moon is inexhaustible and will never stop!

No matter how powerful your mountain formation is, or how sturdy your cave or secret realm is, how long can it last?
Show yourself! Join the Lord, and there is still a chance of survival! With your strength, if you can sincerely serve the Lord and help him escape his predicament, it will be a great achievement. Perhaps the Lord will even bestow upon you true blood, granting you eternal life!

Gu Yuanqing's figure seemed to appear in the shadows of the mountains.

"Enough with the nonsense! I know you want to go to the Linglong Realm. Let's not even talk about whether my mountain can really lead there. Even if it can, you'll have to prove yourselves!" His voice was filled with suppressed anger, and behind his tough tone, there was a hint of exhaustion and weakness.

Within the boundaries of Beiquan, in a small courtyard.

A ray of light transformed into a stream of light and returned to the body of the original deity, Gui Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing picked up the tea on the stone table, took a leisurely sip, looked up at Li Miaoxuan beside him, and smiled slightly: "How is it?"

Li Miaoxuan was holding a vermilion fruit when she heard this and couldn't help but smile: "Your acting is getting more and more convincing. Even I thought you were just putting on a brave face, and that you might not be able to hold on any longer."

“We have to make them feel that with just a little more effort, it will be successful. Otherwise, wouldn’t this blood moon power that’s been delivered to their doorstep be cut off?” Gu Yuanqing chuckled, his gaze piercing through the membrane of the world and landing on the four True Demon Apostles who were becoming increasingly excited.

Following his gaze, Li Miaoxuan saw the demonic fire surging outside, even faintly condensing into a phantom of a demon god. It coiled with a snake tail and used its huge arms to tightly hug the void belonging to the Northern Spring Realm, tearing and squeezing it wildly.

And over the past month.

In the Dragon Demon Realm, the seal on the underground cave has been broken, and countless demonic beasts surged out like a tide, self-destructing one after another in front of the altar. Their flesh and souls merged into the statue, maintaining the power of the altar.

In the distance, from the Black Sea, more and more magical beasts flew in, one after another, seemingly without end.

"They really went to great lengths to force you out. Even though the magical beasts in the underground cave are almost inexhaustible, it will still take time to accumulate. The Northern Spring Realm must have gained quite a bit from absorbing this power, right?" Li Miaoxuan said.

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "It's not bad. It should be comparable to a hundred years of accumulation in ordinary times. Although it is not true demonic power, the level of power is still quite high. The power it absorbs and transforms is more than ten times higher than the power it transforms in the same amount of ordinary underground demonic energy."

Li Miaoxuan said, "Now we'll see how long they can hold out."

Gu Yuanqing laughed and said, "Let nature take its course. It's already quite good that we've obtained so much. It's just that these True Demon Apostles are entangled in demonic energy and don't seem very smart. Like last time at Demon God Mountain, they noticed something was wrong in just a few days. However, to be honest, these True Demon Apostles have spent so much effort and sacrificed so many demonic beasts on my side, which has inexplicably reduced the pressure on Demon God Mountain."

Li Miaoxuan said, "The fact that these demons are attacking this place together may not be without the help of Demon God Mountain behind the scenes."

Gu Yuanqing laughed and said, "That is indeed possible. Lie Shanyu probably wanted to divert the trouble to the east and drag me into it as well. But it doesn't matter, we haven't suffered any losses anyway. These True Demon Apostles can't do anything to us, so they will naturally turn their attention to causing trouble for Demon God Mountain."

Li Miaoxuan said, "It's a pity that they are all difficult to kill. The True Demon Apostle is cunning. Only his clones have come. His true body is mostly hiding in the underground cave. Moreover, the Demon God Mountain suppresses the True Demon's physical body. If we kill him, it may affect the overall situation, and there will be no one to fight against the True Demon's power."

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "So for us, the best option is to stand by and do nothing, but of course, we should accept any benefits we may receive."

……

The Northern Spring Realm remained peaceful as usual, but the Ancient Realm presented a completely different scene.

During this month, the True Demon Apostle used the altar to draw upon the power of the Blood Moon day and night, and correspondingly, the Blood Moon in the Ancient Realm also appeared intermittently.

Almost every city was in chaos, and as the heavens changed, people turned into ghosts.

Feng Yue stood in his own mansion. With his demigod power, he was able to keep the power of the Blood Moon outside, and the people inside the mansion remained in a normal state.

Feng Yan stood behind him and said, "Father, what is the truth of this world?"

Feng Yue asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Feng Yandao said: "People are always interested in their origins, especially when they have endless years but nothing to pursue."

At this point, he suddenly smiled and said, "To be honest, I've lost so many memories this time, and I've even almost forgotten what my mother looks like, but I think it's for the best. At least I feel much calmer inside."

Feng Yue was silent for a moment, then said, "It's not bad that you think that way."

Feng Yan raised his head and looked at the blood moon that was faintly visible in the sky. He then said, "But when I see the blood moon and feel the power in my body becoming somewhat boiling because of the power of the blood moon, another voice always rises in my heart, a voice that has never appeared before. It seems to be telling me that I am not myself! Father, is this true?"

Feng Yue suddenly turned around and looked at Feng Yan. He saw that Feng Yan's eyes were glowing red. His gaze seemed calm, but behind the calm was like a volcano about to erupt, and there was a hint of unfamiliarity hidden in it.

Feng Yue's pupils constricted slightly, and his fingers even trembled slightly as a result.

Knowing the truth, he naturally understood that the Demon Lord's power had further amplified its influence on the people of the ancient realm, and the Demon Lord's soul seemed to be beginning to awaken.

Feng Yan's gaze fell on those fingers.

……

On Demon God Mountain.

Lie Shanyu looked into the distance.

Lie Shanyi stood behind him and said, "Brother, the blood moon hasn't set for nearly two months. If this continues, I'm afraid most of the creatures outside Demon God Mountain will completely lose their minds."

Lie Shanyu said, "It seems that these True Demon Apostles ultimately failed to completely force Gu Yuanqing out. However, with such a huge commotion, can the Dharma Source Realm really not sense it?"

Lie Shanyi said, "Your Majesty, I actually have another guess in my mind."

“What guess? Tell me!” Lieshan Yu said.

Lie Shanyi said in a deep voice, "Do you think it's possible that the Law Source Realm didn't sense it, but rather that someone from there had already arrived in the Demon Realm?"

Lie Shanyu's pupils contracted, and he abruptly turned his head: "You mean..."

"Gu Yuanqing!"
