I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 934 Suppressing with a Smile
Lie Shanyi said, "Although this is just my personal speculation, I even suspect that his strength is far more than that of a demigod. When he first appeared in the Dragon Demon Domain, it was said that his strength was still that of a Celestial. Now, less than a thousand years later, the Demon Court and the Asura Sea have exhausted their clan's resources and still cannot do anything to him. How can anyone's cultivation and strength improve so quickly? His strength may be above that of a demigod."

Therefore, even seeing such chaos in the Demon Realm, he could still remain firmly seated on his high platform, because he had the confidence to do so!

Lie Shanyu narrowed his eyes slightly: "That is indeed very possible. But if that's the case, I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome."

Lie Shanyi said, "Your Majesty, are you referring to the long-standing grudge between Gu Yuanqing and our Demon God Mountain?"

"That's one reason. However, back then, I suspected he was connected to the True Demon. As the God Emperor, I suppressed the True Demon and bore the safety of this world. It was justified for me to take action against him. But back then, when the Demon Court and the Asura Sea besieged him, Ji Chongshan fired an arrow that landed directly in the cave to seal him. Gu Yuanqing witnessed this scene," Lie Shanyu said.

Lieshan Yi said, "This matter was done by the Ji family. What does it have to do with my Lieshan clan?"

“Others might not think that way,” Lieshan Yu said.

Lie Shanyi was silent for a moment: "Then what are your plans next, Your Majesty? If, and I mean if Gu Yuanqing really is someone sent down from the Dharma Source Realm ahead of time, I'm afraid our scheme will be seen as a farce by others."

"Once a move is made, there's no going back. Now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time. Besides, this is just our speculation." Lie Shanyu said, looking at the sky with his hands behind his back.

For the Lieshan clan, or rather for the Demon God Mountain, everything was simply about finding a way out.

However, it seems that things have deviated from the original plan.

He smiled and said, "Actually, there's no need to overthink it. If Gu Yuanqing really was someone from the Dharma Source Realm who was brought here, he would never allow anything to happen to Demon God Mountain, because he knows exactly what's being suppressed beneath this mountain. If something goes wrong, no one can bear the consequences. It's just..."

He paused, then said quietly, "It's nothing more than not being able to escape this demonic realm. Tens of thousands of years later, my Lieshan clan will decline from then on, which is not much different from the situation before."

……

Dragon Demon Realm.

The increasingly powerful demonic fire seemed to be causing the entire realm to collapse, with its immense power dissipating and even destabilizing the realm's barrier.

Gu Yuanqing remained calm. The power summoned by these True Demon Apostle Priests was indeed very strong, and it had accumulated to the level of a true god.

The continuous flow of power into the Northern Spring Realm seemed to make its spiritual energy even richer.

Although only a month has passed, the power gained this time is even greater than what was gained from slaying the ancient spirits.

The power of the Blood Moon leans towards Yin. After being devoured and transformed, it completely balanced the Yin and Yang paths, which were originally at a slight disadvantage, making the operation of heaven and earth in the Northern Spring Realm smoother.

Gu Yuanqing also knew that this situation would not last long. Even if these True Demon Apostles were stupid, they would become suspicious when they saw that the attack had not been breached for so long.

However, he didn't care about it. Such things can't be forced, and he was already satisfied with the benefits he had gained over the past two months.

Moreover, he could also see that these demons were already at their limit. It wasn't that the four demigod-level true demon apostles couldn't hold on any longer, but rather that the number of demonic beasts that had gathered was decreasing.

Indeed, there are many magical beasts in the cave, but summoning this altar requires a massive number of magical beasts.

In comparison, Wei Zhao of the Primordial God Sect seems to have a more mysterious method of summoning the ancient world. Of course, this may also be due to the difference in the methods and powers of the two summoning methods.

As time passed, the True Demon Apostles became noticeably impatient.

In their sight, Beiquan Mountain was becoming more prominent, with ripples constantly spreading across its protective barrier. It seemed that just a little more power would be enough to break through the magic array within the mountain, but after so long, it still seemed to be a little short.

Gu Yuanqing always seemed to be at his last gasp, but in fact, those seemingly minor differences always turned out to be just one step away.

“Something’s not right!” a True Demon Apostle whispered.

“That’s definitely not right. Could Gu Yuanqing be playing us for a fool?” another person said.

A true demon apostle's eyes flashed red, and demonic energy surged around him. He turned abruptly and questioned, "Shadow, what do you have to say? You exhausted the Lord's true blood, used the sacrificial idol, summoned the power of the Blood Moon, and nearly exhausted your ability to summon demonic beasts. And this is the result?"

Ying coldly said, "This mountain is right here. Have I spoken falsely? As for the difficulty in conquering it, I have already said that this mountain is strange, and the decision to besiege this place is not something I alone can make."

"Enough! Arguing is useless. Let's think about how to break the magic formation in the mountains."

The True Demon Apostle standing in the center suddenly raised his hand, and black energy gathered around him, slowly forming a dagger about a foot long.

The dagger was entirely black, with an uneven blade, yet it exuded a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.

The moment that aura appeared, the surrounding demonic fire paused, as if even the flames were trembling, and the surrounding Dao was also changing, seemingly submitting to it.

The red light in Ying's eyes suddenly contracted: "You want to use a true demonic artifact? No! There are many strange things in this mountain. The magic treasure of Demon God Mountain was trapped here back then. If your true demonic artifact is lost, can you bear the responsibility?"

The True Demon Apostle said, "Shadow, you keep saying 'strange' and 'impossible,' but what have you done in the past month besides saying these things? You led this operation, expending the Lord's true blood and so many resources, yet we still can't break through! Now that I'm going to use the True Demon Artifact to break the deadlock, you're doing everything you can to stop me!"

He paused, his voice growing increasingly cold: "Shadow, you wouldn't have... betrayed your master, would you?"

The atmosphere froze instantly upon hearing this.

The gazes of the other two apostles fell on Ying at the same time. Although they did not speak, the scrutiny and suspicion in their eyes were self-evident.

All three of them came from the Demon Realm, but the origin of this shadow was unknown.

Ying said, "I betrayed my lord? If I were to betray my lord, why would I have come here personally, why would I have expended so much effort? I am merely reminding you that this person's methods are unpredictable, and while the True Demonic Artifact is powerful, it may not be..."

"enough!"

The True Demon Apostle, wielding a True Demon Artifact, coldly interrupted him, turning to face the mountain shadow that loomed faintly in the void, the True Demon Artifact, resembling a broken dagger, slowly rising from his hand.

"Today, I'm determined to see what secrets these mountains hold. I refuse to believe anything can withstand the power of our lord. Make your move!"

He let out a low shout and suddenly unleashed the true demonic weapon in his hand!
In that instant, the world lost its color, the Great Dao trembled, and the light flowing over the dagger seemed to turn the void into nothingness.

The dagger transformed into a streak of black light, and wherever it passed, space vanished, as if it had been completely erased by the terrifying power contained within the true demonic weapon!
A jet-black streak of light flashed across the void, crashing straight into the rippled barrier in front of the mountain.

The shadow was simply unstoppable.

……

In the northern part of the city.

Gu Yuanqing gazed leisurely at everything around him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"It seems they finally couldn't hold back any longer," he chuckled, speaking to Li Miaoxuan beside him.

Li Miaoxuan also saw the jet-black dagger hurtling through the air, and frowned slightly: "That thing..."

"Judging from their words, it must be some kind of true demonic artifact, with a high grade and considerable power, but it's still within an acceptable range," Gu Yuanqing said calmly.

The most powerful thing in this world is the divine artifacts of rules, but even the power of the divine artifacts of rules is difficult to resist the power of the Northern Spring Realm. Even Wei Zhaotian, a god of the Primordial God Sect, dared not enter.

Moreover, this is a magical artifact activated by a demigod.

As they spoke, the dark streak of light crashed into the rippled barrier in front of the mountain. Then, it vanished completely.

Without a violent collision, without a deafening explosion, without even a ripple, the true demonic artifact, which was enough to make the world lose its color, vanished completely as soon as it entered the seemingly thin barrier, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

In the Dragon Demon Realm, the three True Demon Apostles were stunned.

The apostle's cold smile, which hadn't yet faded, froze on his face.

He stared blankly at the empty void, his lips moved, but no sound came out.

Shadow roared, "You idiot!"

The apostle snapped back to his senses, his eyes flashing intensely red: "How...how is this possible?! That's a true demonic artifact nurtured by the Lord's power, how could it possibly be..."

"I told you! There's something strange about this mountain! Even my clone, which also possesses the power of the master, fell into it. You should explain this to the master yourself," Shadow said coldly.

The apostle opened his mouth, but could not utter a single word.

The other two True Demon Apostles exchanged a glance, a hint of unease flashing in their eyes simultaneously.

Just then, a subtle fluctuation suddenly came from the void, and an indescribable, terrifying pressure, as if from a higher dimension, suddenly spread out.

At this moment, even the burning demonic fire was forced to collapse backward.

Ying's expression changed drastically. Without any hesitation, his figure transformed into a streak of light and sped away towards the outside of the Dragon Demon Domain, shouting at the same time, "Run!"

The other three apostles were stunned for a moment, then reacted. Two of them fled immediately, while one raised his hand to try to take back the statue!

But... it was all too late, even for Shadow.

"They run pretty fast, but it's useless!" Gu Yuanqing's voice came out. When this True Demon Artifact also lost its effect, he knew that these True Demon Apostles could not continue to summon the power of the Blood Moon, so there was no need to get entangled with them anymore.

The moment the four turned around, a phantom world woven from endless rules and Daoist principles suddenly opened up!

The phantom image enveloped the heavens and the earth, covering the eight directions, and in an instant it enveloped an area of ​​nearly 100,000 miles!
Within the illusory image, countless sword shadows appeared out of thin air.

The sword shadows were of various shapes and sizes; some were ancient and heavy, some were light and agile, some were sharp and aggressive, and some were concealed and unleashed. They were like an inverted sea of ​​swords, covering the sky and the sun!

"town."

A faint voice came from the Northern Spring Boundary.

Countless sword shadows crashed down!

Those four streaks of light that fled in panic were like insects caught in a spider web, precisely caught up, intercepted, and sealed off by sword shadows!
With each sword strike, a figure was frozen in mid-air, unable to move!

They struggled frantically, their demonic energy surging as they tried to tear apart the sword shadows' blockade, only to find their demonic souls rapidly becoming stagnant, as a thirty-three-story tower pressed down upon them, enveloping them within its embrace.

The Demon Refining and Immortal Ascension Tower is a secret refining technique that Gu Yuanqing obtained from the Nine Realms Divine Continent. Once mastered, it will possess supernatural powers.

These True Demon Apostles possess the power of True Demons, and their power level is extremely high. Even though Gu Yuanqing's cultivation and strength are above theirs, it is still very difficult for him to harm them.

However, their demonic souls were at the demigod level, and they were no match for the Demon Refining and Immortal Ascension Tower in its near-realm state.

It let out a furious roar of resentment, its voice filled with venom, but its struggles were futile, and it was suppressed in an instant.

The next moment, the Dao Source True Fire spread out, and the demonic beasts that had not yet self-destructed turned to ashes under the Dao Source True Fire.

Some demons at the Chaotic Undying level were also shattered by the sword energy and enveloped by the Dao Source True Fire. However, some of them also possessed True Demon power, making them difficult to kill.

The next moment, as the phantom of the world rapidly shrank, all those possessing true demonic power were swept back into the Northern Spring Realm.

Heaven and earth returned to silence.

As the phantom of the Northern Spring Realm receded, the sword shadow also vanished without a trace.

The burning demonic fire also went out!
……

In the northern part of the city.

The aroma of tea wafted through the courtyard.

Gu Yuanqing leisurely held his teacup, looking at the layers of sealing and suppressing figures that appeared out of nowhere in the courtyard. A slight smile of satisfaction appeared on his lips.

"I didn't expect to gain so much from this trip. The concentration of true demonic power on this magical artifact is no less than that of these true demonic apostles, and its quality is far superior to that of ordinary magical treasures." He chuckled, his gaze falling on the pitch-black dagger that was floating in mid-air and was being enveloped by layers of world power.

Li Miaoxuan looked at the four True Demon Apostles who were sealed and unable to move, and asked, "What do you plan to do with them?"

Gu Yuanqing took a sip of tea and chuckled, "Let's keep it for now."

He paused, his gaze falling on Ying, and the smile on his lips deepened.

"Old friend...would you like to chat for a while?"

Shadow's expression had returned to calm. He said indifferently, "The victor is king, the loser is villain. Since I've fallen into your hands, there's nothing more to say. I'm just an avatar. Don't expect to get anything out of me!"

Gu Yuanqing looked at the others and asked, "What about you?"

A true demon apostle sneered, "Don't be arrogant. Our master will be able to break free sooner or later. When that happens, he will make you wish you were dead!"

Gu Yuanqing shook his head. In the Northern Spring Realm, he could sense the thoughts of these people. These people had been influenced by the True Demon and turned into demons. They completely believed in the True Demon from the bottom of their hearts and would not say anything even if they died.

However, there's really nothing to ask. The true demon's corpse is suppressed deep in the underground cave, and he doesn't want to touch it.

With this in mind, he suppressed them all deep within the Northern Spring Realm.

He wasn't interested in these people, but the true demonic power they possessed could replace the incense smoke needed for Dao Yan, which was quite useful to him.

Li Miaoxuan looked up at the sky. The altar had dissipated, and the blood moon had returned to normal. She said, "After this, the Demon Realm should be quiet for a while."

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "That would be best. That way, we can both focus on our cultivation without worry. After all, we are still quite far from breaking through to the next realm."

Li Miaoxuan nodded slightly, then suddenly asked, "Have you thought about what you will do in the future?"

Gu Yuanqing knew what she wanted to ask, took a sip of tea, and said, "Let's think about it some more, or maybe we don't need to make a choice."

Li Miaoxuan gave Gu Yuanqing a deep look and smiled sweetly: "I hope so."
