I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 935 The Desperate Mountain of Gods and Demons
God and Demon Mountain.

Members of several major divine and demonic families have been keeping a close eye on the Black Sea, and some have even secretly infiltrated it to investigate the movements and outcomes from afar using wondrous methods.

When the blood moon dissipated, less than half an hour later, the relevant information had already spread into the mountains.

Lie Shanyu glanced at the letter in his hand and then handed it to Lie Shanyi and Lie Shanhan.

After looking through it, Lie Shanyi's eyes narrowed slightly: "So, not a single person escaped?"

"How is this possible? Could it be that they broke through the void and escaped? Even if these demons didn't go in their true forms, they are still demigods, and they still possess true demonic power. How could they be wiped out so easily?" Lie Shanhan looked at the report with an incredulous expression in his eyes.

"But that's the truth. Gu Yuanqing's strength is beyond expectations. Sixth Brother, perhaps your guess is really possible. The rumors back then said that Gu Yuanqing fell from the Floating Realm, but the Floating Realm is a small realm. How could such a strong person be born there? Moreover, as Ninth Brother said, the True Demon Apostle has the power of the True Demon, which is difficult to harm by ordinary means, but Gu Yuanqing can kill him easily, which is strange in itself."

At this point, Lie Shanyu paused, then added, "No matter what, even if only a clone of the True Demon Apostle was killed, its strength was greatly diminished, which is a good thing for our Demon God Mountain."

Lie Shanyi said, "Brother, what do we plan to do next? Should we try to communicate with Gu Yuanqing to seek a way to escape the Demon Realm, or should we continue with the original plan? But so far, apart from Gu Yuanqing, there has still been no response from the Dharma Source Realm. I'm afraid..."

He didn't finish speaking, but the implication was clear.

The commotion over the past few hundred years has been considerable, but the Dharma Source Realm has remained completely silent. If things continue like this, the outcome will likely be the same.

Lie Shanyu's gaze passed over the many palaces and turned towards the Black Sea.

After a long silence, he slowly said, "This time the commotion is quite significant. Let's wait and see if there are any changes. If not, I will go to find Gu Yuanqing again. If there are still no results, then we will use the Ancestral Altar to contact the Dharma Source Realm again."

Lie Shanyi suddenly looked up: "Brother, each time the ancestral altar is opened, it requires burning true blood essence, which is too high a price! Moreover, the last time it was used, we did not receive any response at all, and the other families may not agree either."

"It is precisely because we have not received a response that we must resort to this again. They will agree. If they do not agree, then we will directly use the resources of Demon God Mountain to completely suppress the threat of the True Demon. As for what happens after that, we will leave it to fate," Lie Shanyu said.

Lie Shanyi was silent for a moment, then said, "What if there's still no response?"

Lie Shanyu stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze becoming somewhat deep, and slowly said, "Then perhaps the foundation of my Lie Shan clan, the Jiang family, the Ji family, and the Ying family in the Dharma Source Realm no longer exists, or perhaps... the Dharma Source Realm itself has encountered problems."

Lie Shanhan's gaze sharpened: "Your Majesty means..."

Lie Shanyu said, "No matter what, we must prepare for the worst!"

……

After the True Demon Apostle was suppressed and the Blood Moon returned to normal, it seemed that even the great war in the Demon Realm had temporarily come to an end.

The ancient world seems to have returned to normal.

Peace was truly restored in Beiquan.

Having absorbed so much Blood Moon power, the Northern Spring Realm's growth rate has accelerated even further.

Today, its overall size spans tens of millions of miles.

Logically, the larger the world is, the more power is needed for each outward expansion, and the slower the expansion speed will naturally be. However, in the Northern Spring Realm, this common sense simply does not apply.

The larger the Northern Spring Realm is, the faster it absorbs power.

Almost every moment, new territories are being expanded forward.

As his power increased, the feeling that Beiquan Realm was about to break through to other worlds grew stronger and stronger.

This feeling made Gu Yuanqing both hopeful and somewhat worried.

The expectation is that after breaking through to the other world, the Northern Spring Realm will grow faster and benefit itself more.

The concern is that this might lead to new troubles. We already have enough troubles now, and it's only just gotten back to normal.

Moreover, in this new world, the levels are higher, the enemies are stronger, and the trouble they may cause is greater.

However, even Gu Yuanqing could not stop these things. As the Lord of the Realm, he could manipulate almost everything in the Northern Spring Realm, but this was the one thing he could not control.

However, to be honest, even if he could control it, he probably wouldn't stop it, because only when the Northern Spring Realm can connect to the Immortal Realm can he truly have a choice.

Otherwise, as his cultivation level increases, he will eventually break through to the Immortal Realm, at which point he will truly face a difficult choice.

He couldn't suppress his cultivation at the Void Immortal realm forever. Firstly, his lifespan would eventually end, and secondly, both Li Miaoxuan and Li Chengyi might ascend to immortality someday. Naturally, he couldn't just cower here and wait for death to come.

Moreover, since one has embarked on the path of immortality, one should at least take a look at the scenery along the way.

The only hope is that trouble won't come too soon, and the place that Beiquan Realm broke into is truly the Immortal Realm!

……

Leisurely time always flies by, and thirteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Miaoxuan returned to the Lingxu Sect. This time, she went back to step down as Daozi and take on the position of Elder.

She will not succeed as sect leader, so there is no reason for her to remain in this position.

As for the position of elder, it is only right and proper.

Even if she doesn't want to take the position, the Lingxu Sect will try to persuade her with reason and emotion.

However, even if she becomes an elder, she will not manage sect affairs.

For her now, pursuing the path to immortality is the most important thing, and she has no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the Lingxu Sect.

The only things within the sect that still required her attention were the two disciples she had taken in.

On this day, Gu Yuanqing was fishing on the western cliff when he suddenly sensed a sound coming from the Dragon Demon Realm.

"Brother Gu, please show yourself!"

Gu Yuanqing turned around and saw that Lieshan Yu from outside the Dragon Demon Domain had come to visit again.

However, Gu Yuanqing ignored it, only glanced at it, and continued fishing, trying to find the secrets hidden in the mountain clouds and mist.

Everything in the ancient realm needs to be refined with the Void Stone before it can be brought out, and only tangible things can be brought out. However, the Heavenly Fishing Technique can fish out the Dao Soul through the clouds and mist, which contains a great secret.

The things of the Ancient Realm are beneficial to the Northern Spring Realm. Perhaps one day, they will clash with the Ancient Realm again, or even use the Dao of Creation to kill the Yin Souls there. He doesn't want to expend his efforts for nothing, so he naturally needs to study them in advance.

Lie Shanyu stood outside the Northern Spring Boundary and used his magic to transmit his voice far into the realm, but after waiting for a long time, he did not hear a reply.

He remained silent for a while, then said, "I know you can hear me. Since you don't want to come out, I'll take the liberty of coming closer to speak."

Gu Yuanqing still has not replied.

Lie Shanyu stepped into the Beiquan territory and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.

He added, "It's alright if you don't want to show yourself, just listen to what I have to say. As for how to choose, that's up to you."

Gu Yuanqing glanced back again and saw that the clone that Lie Shanyu had sent was at most at the level of the Undying Chaos Realm, so he had no intention of paying any attention to it.

Lie Shanyu paused for a moment, then continued, "Back then, there were indeed many misunderstandings between us, but that was because I thought you were related to the True Demon. As a God Emperor, I bear the responsibility for the safety of this realm and have to act with caution. I apologize for any offenses I may have caused." "Our Lie Shan clan, including the Jiang, Ji, and Ying families of Demon God Mountain, all came from the Dharma Source Realm. Our responsibility is to guard the Demon Realm. The Demon Lord's corpse was divided, suppressed, and sealed, with the largest seal located on Demon God Mountain."

"The Demon Lord is the source of the demonic path in this great world. Over tens of millions of years, the seal on the Demon Realm has gradually developed problems. The Demon Lord's power has leaked out, suppressing the Great Dao of the Linglong Realm, making it difficult for this world to break through to the level of demigod. In fact, it can only be broken through to the level of the Undying Chaos Realm by relying on the divine blood of one's ancestors."

"But after so many years, the divine blood has long since dried up, and my Demon God Mountain is now at its last gasp..."

……

"Therefore, fellow Daoist, if you are truly from the Dharma Source Realm, or if you have a way to contact the Dharma Source Realm, please lend me your assistance. Otherwise, once the seal breaks and the Demon Lord is born, the entire world will be doomed."

After Lie Shanyu finished speaking, he waited quietly.

But after waiting for a long time, there was still no response.

He sighed softly, "It seems you still don't trust me, brother? Perhaps I do have some selfish motives, but all I seek is to find a chance for my Lieshan clan to survive. I swear on my Dao heart that what I have said today is absolutely true. If I have uttered any falsehood, I, Lieshan Yu, am willing to endure divine punishment and never be able to be reborn!"

Gu Yuanqing, who was fishing, finally turned around upon hearing this. As a cultivator, he rarely left himself so ruthless, and he believed Lie Shanyu's words to a large extent.

He said calmly, "It's not that I'm unwilling to help you. I am indeed not from the Dharma Source Realm, nor do I have any connection with it. I'm just cultivating here in seclusion and have no intention of getting involved in any grudges. If you want to find a way to survive, find another way and don't come looking for me again."

"Your Demon God Mountain has repeatedly invaded; for me, sparing your life is already the greatest act of mercy!"

Upon hearing this, Lie Shanyu felt a chill in his heart. He didn't know if Gu Yuanqing's words were true or false, but there was no doubt that Gu Yuanqing would not be of any help to him.

Although I had anticipated this outcome before coming, I still felt somewhat disappointed when I actually heard these words.

He remained silent for a long time, took a deep breath, clasped his hands and said, "If that's the case, I apologize for disturbing you. But if you really have a solution, please consider it for the sake of all living beings in the myriad realms."

After he finished speaking, he bowed slightly and turned to leave.

In the Northern Spring Realm, Gu Yuanqing frowned slightly, but ultimately just shook his head and turned his gaze back down to the cliff below.

……

In the Demon God Mountain.

The Divine Emperor Lieshan Yu withdrew his clone.

Ji Chongshan asked, "Your Majesty, how is it? Did Gu Yuanqing say anything?"

Lie Shanyu shook his head and said calmly, "Prepare for the ancestral sacrifice!"

……

One year later.

Demon God Mountain.

On the ancestral altar, the four great divine and demonic families took out many of their accumulated treasures, each one a rare and precious material that would drive a demigod mad, and threw them one by one into the furnace at the core of the altar.

Inside the furnace, flames soared into the sky; these were the ancestral divine flames ignited by the true blood of the four great families.

The new master of the Jiang family, Jiang Shouxuan, who had reached the Undying Realm of Chaos and was once the Zhen Dong God King, stood on the east side of the altar, holding a fist-sized blood-red crystal in his hand and throwing it into the furnace.

The moment the crystal was placed into the furnace, a burst of blood-red flames shot into the sky.

Following closely behind, Ying Wugou, the head of the Ying family, threw a piece of completely black, withered bone into the furnace.

This is the finger bone left behind by the ancestor of the victors. The withered bone was put into the furnace, and a faint sigh echoed in the void.

Ji Chongshan held a palm-sized jade box in his hands, inside which was sealed a treasure called Blood Dragon Jade Marrow.

The moment he opened the jade box, the entire altar trembled, and a vast pressure spread out, making everyone present almost unable to breathe.

The moment the chalcedony fell into the furnace, the sky above the entire Demon God Mountain changed color, and a golden pillar of light shot into the sky, piercing straight into the heavens!
Finally, Lie Shanyu slowly stepped forward.

He held a palm-sized stone tablet in his hand. The tablet was pitch black, with countless fine golden patterns on its surface.

These are boundary coordinates brought down from the Dharma Source Realm, connected to the fortune of the ancestral lands of the Dharma Source Realm, and are called boundary markers.

Behind him, Lieshan Yi, Lieshan Han, and other core members of the Lieshan clan knelt down, using their own bloodlines as a medium to enhance the sacrifice.

Lie Shanyu bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of semi-divine blood onto the town's boundary marker.

The black stone tablet trembled violently, and the golden patterns on its surface instantly shone brightly, transforming into a dazzling golden stream of light that plunged into the furnace.

Nine illusory images of divine magic appeared in the ancestral temple, their divine eyes opening between their brows, and vast power poured into the furnace.

A towering phantom emerged from the flames of the furnace; it was the ancestor of the Lieshan clan. He looked up at the heavens above, seemingly traversing the void to gaze upon the Dharma Source Realm.

Using himself as a medium and the ancestral artifacts of the four great families as a guide, Lieshan Yu merged the soaring pillar of light with the bloodline imprint of the Lieshan clan, transforming it into a communication talisman that spanned the two realms.

"Lieshan Yu, a descendant of the Lieshan clan, along with the Jiang, Ji, and Ying families, respectfully request the ancestral land of the Fayuan clan!"

His voice, amplified by divine power, pierced through the void and projected along the golden pillar of light towards the Dharma Source Realm above the nine heavens.

Around the altar, members of the four major families knelt down, using the power of their own bloodlines to maintain the communication.

Time passed little by little.

One hour.

Two hours.

Five hours.

The golden beam of light remained suspended in the sky, but there was never any response.

Lie Shanyu's face grew paler and paler. He was the core of the altar, and every breath consumed his vital essence. But what weighed heavier than the consumption of his vital essence was the growing despair in his heart.

Twelve hours passed, and the golden pillar of light began to dim.

Twenty-four hours passed, and the pillar of light was almost invisible, the flames in the furnace also became weak, and the illusory image of the progenitor was almost invisible.

Finally, at dawn on the third day, the last ray of golden light disappeared into the sky.

A deathly silence fell upon the altar.

After a long silence, Lie Shanyu murmured hoarsely to himself, "Is he really gone?"

No one answered.

Before the sacrifice, they felt the chances were slim, but they still felt there was a glimmer of hope. Now all hope has been shattered!
