Wet viviparity

Chapter 819 Information, The Venerable One's Words
Amid the ruins of the village, some disciples of Tianteng Mountain are walking through the blood-red "human carpet" to treat the survivors.

Dugu Rong was also there. He and his fellow disciples pretended to dispel the remaining heavy fog and search for those who had not been crushed by the fog, but in reality, they were trying to read information about the magical abilities and supernatural powers within the arena of this battle.

Seeing that Master Lingxu, who was the focus of everyone's attention, was chatting with Huo Liezi and didn't care about them, who had ulterior motives, they became a little bolder and rushed to the place where Elder Sun's body was.

"This"

In front of these overturned tree roots, where Elder Sun's body should have been, lies.

Here, the bloodstains on the ground had seeped into the soil, and a small amount of filth remained, but the body was gone.

The scene of Elder Sun being cut in half at the waist by a sword is still vivid in Dugu Rong's mind, and he would not forget it.

As a member of the Tianteng Mountain faction who was actively courted by Yunyu Temple, Dugu Rong was shared with a lot of important intelligence, including the list of people from Yunyu Temple who came to Daci Village for the duel.

During the battle just now, Elder Sun's actions of manipulating fire energy before his death left Dugu Rong completely baffled. He keenly sensed that there must be some extraordinary secret involved, and if he could uncover it, wouldn't that be...
Suddenly, a gaze shot over, causing Dugu Rong to stiffen.

He knew he was on the edge of danger, but he was also certain that Master Lingxu couldn't touch him now.

The three monsters and five birds in Tianteng Mountain are either at the fifth level of the Fetal Spirit Realm or are fierce monsters that can change their forms. The weakest among them is at the fourth level of perfection. Their hostility is not something that Master Lingxu, a fourth-level powerhouse, can withstand alone.

Under that gaze that felt like a sword blade against his back, he finally moved away, no longer daring to explore the place.

"court death!"

Ji Ming withdrew his gaze from Dugu Rong, thinking to himself.

His gaze shifted to the porcelain bottle in his hand, a hint of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

Every cultivator of the "Secret Record of Transformation and Mysterious Fiend" is a precious resource, especially a True Person like Elder Sun, who has reached the fourth realm of cultivation, has cultivated a demonic form, and has gone to great lengths to deliver himself to him. Such a person is even more rare.

Ji Mingzhen couldn't bear to kill such a "selfless" person. He was very careful in his actions, not aiming for Elder Sun's forehead, but only for his waist.

In this way, with the physique of the Golden Blood Jade Marrow in the Fourth Realm Golden Core, plus the enhancement of the demonic physical body, Elder Sun could barely keep his breath, and was finally sealed in the relic bottle by Ji Ming.

Elder Sun, who cultivated the "Secret Record of Transformation and Mysterious Fiends," would never know until his death that when he found the egg of a powerful demon, wrote the "Seven Emotions and Spiritual Blood Restriction" with his own heart's blood, and sealed the egg, it was actually a fake version of the Yuan Demon Life Lamp, which secretly contained a demonic incantation that caused all rivers to return to their source.

As he ingested the ashes of his natal demonic talisman, the Myriad Rivers Returning to the Source Demonic Curse, along with the essence of his demonic soul and the evil energy, invaded his limbs and bones, transforming his physical body into a living furnace. The invisible and shadowless Yuan Demonic Life Lamp had also quietly condensed within the three flowers on his head.

At this moment, Ji Ming has activated the hidden chapter of the "Secret Record of Transformation and Mystery" that has never been made public before - the Demon Seed. As the saying goes, "swallowing ashes to transform into form, planting a demon to light a lamp." Once this chapter is activated, the Yuan Demon Life Lamp within Elder Sun's living furnace of essence, qi, and spirit will be ignited.

As long as Ji Ming moves his lips and recites the incantation, the wonderful moment will arrive.

"But one person is not enough."

Ji Ming thought to himself.

Just as Huo Liezi was about to reply to Ji Ming, a disciple from Tianteng Mountain cautiously approached and whispered a few words in his ear.

"The Yin Thunder is gone." Huo Liezi turned to look at the area where a large amount of muddy water had accumulated. There were 333 Wu Yuan Yin Thunders in there. Once they were moved, they would definitely be used as a trump card to deal with Master Lingxu.

The Tian Teng Mountain disciple who came to report looked at the Lingxu Master, who showed no unusual expression, and said, "After the boy died, the hundreds of boys hidden in his body that were used to threaten the Master were all sunk underwater among the three hundred and thirty-three Yin Lightning particles."

This move clearly exploited the mage's compassion, forcing the mage to expend magical power to immobilize all the hundreds of children, preventing them from triggering the Yin Lightning during their struggles.

In the water, the boy and Yin Lei were very close together.

Whether it's using the Water Escape Technique to rescue the hundreds of children one by one, or carefully taking away the Yin Thunder one by one, it will inevitably take a lot of time and effort. Therefore, the one in the shadows clearly knows that this task will eventually fall into the hands of our Tianteng Mountain disciples.

At this point, it becomes much easier for those in the shadows—no, for the hidden gods, ghosts, and demons—to collect the Yin Lightning.

"Master."

Huo Liezi looked at Ji Ming, about to speak, but was interrupted by Ji Ming.

"It's alright, it's only the second day, there's still plenty of time."

It was still early. At this moment, his cousin Zhang was still in the Evil Dog Ridge of the Yin-Yang Three Passes, holding the Jade Bamboo Bow to drive away the evil spirit.

It will take at least three days to completely drive the evil spirit out of the Yin-Yang line, causing it to drift away with the sun tens of thousands of feet above the southern sky, thus obscuring the celestial phenomena on Tianteng Mountain.

Seeing Ji Ming's reaction, Huo Liezi continued the previous topic, saying, "We have also heard about what happened at the Three Frontiers Forum. It was originally a contest between two schools of magic, but Yunyu Temple insisted on dragging all the unorthodox sects of Tiannan into the calamity."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, both families overlooked independent cultivators, or rather, cultivators without a sect or affiliation.

My Tianteng Mountain sect started out as a diverse group of independent cultivators, which is why our founder had the concept of the unity of all things. Even now, disciples have the right to choose to leave the sect, but because Tianteng Mountain has long been so deeply entrenched, no one remembers this rule anymore.

Ji Ming sat on the ground, staring at the ruins before him, lost in thought.

Just then, a strange man suddenly appeared no more than ten steps away.

This man had bulging, round eyes, a wide grin revealing his teeth, and a head of spiral-shaped hair, resembling a Vajra in Buddhism. He wore a bright red demon-subduing robe, his bare feet were as black as cast iron, a bluish-gray bead hung from his head, and he held a gourd in one hand. A double-headed arrow pierced his forehead, but the arrowheads at both ends were not sharp.

At the same time, several more people approached, and for a moment, the sound of footsteps mingled together.

Fire casts the mountain, and the heavens illuminate the golden courtyard.

Inside the hall, there were not only brothels. On either side of the main seat, several figures sat or stood, each with a different aura, yet all shrouded in a heavy and oppressive atmosphere.

At this moment, a figure was lazily leaning back in the main seat.

She was dressed in a flowing, shimmering gauze, through which one could see the thick, serpentine body beneath. On the serpent's body was a beautiful head, its face also concealed by a thin veil, revealing only a pair of deep, dark eyes.

She is none other than Hong Gu, a yin incarnation of the illusory infant spirit, one of the Four Fiends.

She coiled her snake tail, toying with a leaping crimson flame at the end. The flame deftly transformed on the snake's tail, sometimes into a bird, sometimes into a small beast, seemingly without a care in the world.

What are the current regulations?

Hong Gu's voice, emanating from beneath the thin veil on her face, clearly reached the ears of everyone in the hall, including demons, directly damaging their eardrums.

With a "sizzle," blood flowed from each person's ear and dripped down.

The sound of the blood dripping was exceptionally clear in the hall, but no one dared to move, and no one dared to show any sign of pain. This was the killing intent that Venerable Hong Gu of Yunyu Temple had instilled in everyone.

Elephants and ants—this is the relationship between Hong Gu and everyone present. They seem to live in the same world, but in reality, they are worlds apart.

Although the people in the hall did not know Hong Gu's background, the inexplicable feelings in their own souls warned them not to act rashly.

They did not know that the Four Fiends, who were neither in the Heavenly Court nor among the scattered immortals, were an extremely special group. Human rules, constraints, morality, and even ways of thinking could not be applied to them.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be: lawless.

“You tell me, you, you.”

“Ling Xuzi is currently in the ruins of Daci Village.” Xia Yu’s gaze remained sharp as he looked directly at Hong Gu in the main seat and said, “He has just experienced a fierce battle. Even if he is not physically injured, his magical power and mental energy must be depleted.”

Now that Senior Brother Ziwu is about to make his move, I will also send my sword attendant to the Southern Fire Frontier to meet with Fire Embroidery Child, so that I can provide support for Senior Brother Ziwu this time.”

The thin veil was lifted by the hot breath exhaled from his nostrils, and the entire hall was momentarily filled with the heat of an alchemical furnace. This sudden heat interrupted Xia Yu's words, and everyone in the hall sat stiffly, letting the heat scorch their skin.

"Even a good-for-nothing can shoulder a heavy responsibility!"

Sensing Hong Gu's anger, Pak Yu swallowed his rebuttal.

A voice came again from under the thin veil, "The use of the Noon Double-Headed Demon Arrow by the Dangerous Path God requires ensuring that the power of the primordial spirit is transmitted to this treasure without any delay. That's why he came up with this crooked method of inserting it into the head. Only in this way can the primordial spirit activate this treasure like an electric induction."

However, this is not a long-term solution. As the time and number of times this treasure is activated increase, no one can guarantee that the good-for-nothing will be a normal person or a madman in the next moment.

If you were dealing with an ordinary person, that would be one thing, but you're dealing with a top-notch expert in divination. Do you think he wouldn't see the flaw in that useless person's primordial spirit?!

Upon hearing Hong Gu's words exposing the shortcomings of her own people, the several outstanding members of the unorthodox sects in the hall, whose auras were either sharp or cunning, exchanged glances, and unease and suspicion filled the air.

"May I ask what brilliant strategy Your Excellency has?"

Your Highness, the old woman carrying a green jade tortoise shell on her back rested her hands on the end of her cane in front of her and asked with her eyes closed.

“The Taiping Mountain and Yunyu Temple families have agreed to enter Xinjiang in three days. It is only the second day now. The border is not completely sealed off because the people on the list can enter at any time. We still have a chance to take advantage of this.”

"No!"

The old woman with the tortoise shell raised her hand to stop her.

"The battle of the three regions is witnessed by all the immortals. To learn about the situation within the regions by changing the clan records, like the fish, is already challenging the bottom line of the immortals."

Do you think that a powerful and pervasive community like Taipingshan would be unaware of this method of prostitution? Their deliberate silence is simply a way of waiting for us to find more loopholes in the ironclad rules of these three regions in the future.

In this way, the patriarchs and immortals of Mount Taiping would have sufficient reason to intervene, bypassing our side's immortals and gods, and deliver a decisive blow.

Faced with this old woman, Hong Gu, unusually, put aside her lawless nature and explained with a smile, "Anything not prohibited by law is permissible. Do you think Taiping Mountain isn't looking for loopholes in the Three Kingdoms' magical duel?!"

"This"

The old woman was speechless for a moment.

"What if we fail again this time?"

A discordant remark was made, and everyone turned to look at a woman in the hall.
