This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 484 There's no such thing as a gang leader, just call him Ah Niu.
This is Xiang Yuan's seventh time undergoing a blood transfusion and marrow cleansing.

His already monstrous stats and comprehension were pushed forward once more, with his physical body and primordial spirit growing stronger in tandem. The speed at which he refined the medicinal power suddenly accelerated, and then his physical body and primordial spirit continued to grow stronger, accelerating the speed at which he refined the medicinal power once more...

The loop is closed!
In the darkness, the critical point was broken, and a sound of something shattering came from within Xiang Yuan's body. It was not a bottleneck in his cultivation level, but rather a shackle representing the upper limit of his potential.

He still has room for improvement!
It is precisely because of the vast potential for growth that, with himself as a powerful remedy and no lack of external supplements, his physical body and primordial spirit were able to rapidly strengthen in a short period of time.

The direct manifestation of this was in the small world. Su Ran, who was originally in a dominant position, suddenly found that with the primordial spirits united, he could not control the deduction process of the small world and was sidelined, watching Xiang Yuan perform various operations.

The first step is to destroy the small world, return it to chaos, and then dismantle the original principles of Heaven's Law.

Disassemble, reassemble, deduce, return...

The way of Heaven is like a woven tapestry, endlessly repeating itself.

With just one return to chaos, the magnificence of the small world surpasses even that of before.

Sword Master Su Ran secretly clicked his tongue in amazement, marveling at Xiang Yuan's exceptional talent.

The principles of Heaven represent endless possibilities, with infinite variables and infinite evolution. There is no end in sight, so there is no possibility of digging to the bottom.

Previously, Su Ran Sword Master had cultivated with Xiang Yuan, and the laws of heaven and earth were nearly perfected. There was no possibility of further exploration in terms of depth. Therefore, he handed it over to Bai Wuyan, letting her brute force her way through the breadth. After the small world expanded, Su Ran Sword Master would then continue to explore the depth.

They did this because the laws of Heaven have infinite possibilities of evolution, but the two women did not have the ability to realize this possibility on their own, so they had to cooperate against their conscience.

It's a win-win situation, and everyone has a bright future. As long as I firmly believe that he is practicing his skills outside so that he can come back to serve me, I won't be so resistant to cooperation.

Now, Sword Master Su Ran was singled out and watched the whole thing unfold without participating in the evolution of the small world. However, the small world had been explored to a new depth, forcing her to admit that Xiang Yuan had surpassed her in terms of comprehension.

I'm suddenly feeling a bit annoyed!

On second thought, it's not just the depth that's been refreshed, but also the breadth of the microcosm, which means that even the old hag has been outshone.

Suddenly I felt great again!
Su Ran Sword Master's understanding and comprehension of the small world far surpasses that of Xiang Yuan. In her view, Xiang Yuan's deduction of the small world is not perfect, his methods are crude, and there are many flaws. There is still much room for further exploration and expansion.

But she didn't stop or interfere. She just noted down the details. Her intuition told her that Xiang Yuan did it on purpose, creating a broad framework and then bringing her out to refine the details.

Damn it, the Sword Heart Sect's most prized treasure has actually turned upside down, using the sect leader as a furnace!
Sword Master Su Ran was furious, but considering how delicious it was, he decided to forgive Xiang Yuan this once.

Just consider it as him practicing his skills!

Because the main medicine for this blood and marrow cleansing was the Three-Legged Golden Crow, the sun in the newly born small world was exceptionally dazzling. The true fire of the sun turned from illusion to reality, and the bright moon that was opposite the sun, as well as the 365 stars that surrounded the sun, were all bright and dazzling, just like the real thing.

The most real thing right now is this great sun!

The small world evolved from Xiang Yuan himself. The five internal organs and nine orifices represent the five elements, the Ren and Du meridians represent yin and yang, and the 365 acupoints represent the stars in the sky. They are all interconnected, mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, which is why there is a stable and firm small world that will not dissipate the moment it is born.

This is also the main reason why Xiang Yuan's fusion is so difficult. His inner world is too strong. Once the inner and outer worlds merge, he will take the lead the moment he enters the Dao and forcibly integrate his outer world into his inner world.

Then the inner world returns to chaos, and all living beings must return to the world, which is commonly known as "hitting the ground".

Getting back to the main point, because of the Golden Crow, the great sun in the distant small world almost materialized and fed back to his physical body, allowing him to master the domineering divine power of the true sun fire without any teacher.

Hot blood surged through his veins like a river, tempering his body and strengthening his physical body.

A scorching heat emanated from its mouth, nose, ears, and eyes, and the high temperature and heat waves distorted the surrounding space, forming a phantom image in the shape of a large sun.

He was only wearing an ordinary robe, not a protective treasure. It wasn't that he couldn't afford it, nor was it something he deliberately wore to be torn apart by the White House. Rather, it was a cheaper option that offered better value for his daily combat style, which involved changing sizes.

Ordinary robes, how could they withstand such high temperatures? They turned to ashes and scattered in an instant.

The Sword Master Su Ran did have a protective robe, but it was not a magic weapon for cultivating both body and spirit. It was not protected by the dual cultivation of primordial spirit and could only last for a short while before it dissipated without a trace.

In a daze, Su Ran Sword Master felt herself sitting higher. Just a moment ago she was leaning on Xiang Yuan's shoulder, but now Xiang Yuan was lying on her chest.

It's hot, burning my bottom.

She opened her eyes groggily, her vision blurred for a moment, then she suddenly woke up and realized what she was sitting on.

Even if she's never eaten pork, she's seen pigs run, hasn't she? Every time Shang Qingmeng pins Xiang Yuan down, she keeps a close eye on things from the shadows, clearly aware of the situation.

This isn't about killing her, it's about giving her life.

This is outrageous! Don't go too far, you brat!
Just as Su Ran Sword Master was about to raise her hand to brush it aside, before she could even make a move, she sensed a murderous gaze coming from behind her. She casually smoothed a strand of hair behind her ear and muttered, "You rascal, why are you in such a hurry? Every time you asked for something, I gave it to you..."

A single ambiguous remark was uttered, and the murderous intent behind it almost materialized.

The Sword Master Su Ran, smug and self-satisfied, chuckled twice and lowered his head, biting down on Xiang Yuan's neck.

Let me see how potent the medicine is!

Each time Xiang Yuan underwent a blood and marrow cleansing, he experienced a complete transformation, most noticeably in the blood medicine within his body. The sixth blood and marrow cleansing resulted in a dramatic increase in the potency of the blood medicine, making Bai Wuyan, who desperately wanted to eliminate Xiang Yuan, reluctant to do so. The seventh blood and marrow cleansing…

Puff!

As a mouthful of hot blood entered his stomach, the Sword Master Su Ran's body felt like a furnace, burning his entire skin until it turned pink.

The medicine was too potent, and she unfortunately started bleeding from her nose.

smell good!
Sword Master Su Ran stopped drawing blood, raising her hand to cover her mouth and nose, crimson blood continuously seeping from between her fingers. The drug's effects were taking hold, making her vision blurry, her breathing rapid, and her whole body limp as if her bones had been removed.

Snapped!
A pale white hand struck, grabbing the long, dark hair of the Sword Master Su Ran and throwing him aside.

Sword Master Su Ran was still in a daze, just like when he was drunk. He fell down and lay there, his head lolling to the side, and he lost consciousness on the spot.

Bai Wuyan looked at Xiang Yuan, who was covered in blood, with a frosty expression. She found him dirty, but was also afraid that throwing him into the water would disturb his cultivation and ruin his great opportunity. So she summoned a gentle spring breeze and light rain and carefully washed him.

A moment later, she removed her Cloud-Woven Heavenly Robe, gave a cold snort to the Plain-Dyed Sword Master, and sat back in the exclusive seat reserved for VIPs.

He took a bite, and the blood medicine went down his throat.

No nosebleed occurred.

The Peerless Palace has a body-refining method called "Refining True Gold in Fierce Fire," which makes Xiao Lingyue's arm strength far surpass that of Chan'er, and Bai Wuyan's physical strength is also above that of Su Ran Sword Venerable. The White Palace Master only felt that the medicine was hot and dry when it entered her mouth, but it was still within a tolerable range.

No wonder!
Like Su Ran Sword Master, he was drunk and confused.

In a daze, Bai Wuyan did not forget the dual cultivation of her primordial spirit. She was more and more satisfied with her immortality elixir. The steaming medicinal power was very compatible with the body refining method of Wushuang Palace. It was simply a treasure of the sect tailor-made for her.

Xiang Yuan was completely focused on creating her small world and was unaware of what was happening outside. She only noticed that her cultivation partner had changed, so she opened her eyes in dissatisfaction and told them to stop for a while.

Before her eyes, Bai Wuyan's icy demeanor vanished; her breath exuded a delicate fragrance, filling the air with its sweet aroma. Her temples were adorned with a rosy blush, and her snow-white skin shone with radiant beauty. Slightly tipsy, her makeup half-removed, her drowsy eyes seemed to see flowers through a mist. A single beauty mark, like the finishing touch on a painting, made her exceptionally beautiful face breathtakingly stunning.

"Gudu!"

Xiang Yuan subconsciously swallowed, his mouth dry and parched, eager to kiss her.

Noticing the ill-intentioned gaze, Bai Wuyan bit her lower lip and turned her head to the side, which could be interpreted as a refusal or as letting Xiang Yuan handle it himself.

Xiang Yuan took it as a tacit agreement, pulled the person tightly into his arms, took a deep breath, and leaned closer.

They didn't kiss.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the Sword Master Su Ran lying there, completely untouched by dust, shamelessly peeking at people through the crack in the door.

Xiang Yuan's lips twitched at just one glance. Seeing the plum blossom-like marks, he was shocked and wondered if he had made a grave mistake while meditating.

No, he was completely unaware of his surroundings and didn't move at all, so he shouldn't be the one who made the mistake.

Holy crap, the Bull-Headed Sword Master is actually going for real. Was it really necessary to go this far?

This interruption brought Bai Wuyan back to her senses. Following Xiang Yuan's gaze, she snorted coldly and slapped him hard with her claws.

Bai Wuyan: What are you looking at? Did she force you to look?

“Hiss, hiss, hiss—”

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The well contained both yin and yang, but no sun, so there was no reference point for time. Xiang Yuan had been cultivating all along, so he didn't know how much time had passed.

Although there were many mishaps along the way, which displeased the White Palace Master, the outcome was good. His skills improved dramatically; the quality of his blood medicine, as well as the strength of his primordial spirit and physical body, all underwent earth-shattering changes. He felt like he could kill a headless beast with a single punch…

Let's leave that aside, since the Bull Demon King really does exist in this world.

Bai Wuyan and Su Ran Sword Master were also in a daze due to the update of the Great Medicine version. They were either in a daze or on their way to being in a daze. In their daze, their cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, faster than riding a rocket.

By relying solely on dual cultivation, Su Ran Sword Venerable, who is compatible with Xiang Yuan, clearly has a greater advantage. For every dual cultivation session she engages in with Xiang Yuan, Bai Wuyan would need at least ten sessions to catch up.

However, this version update by Xiang Yuan is tailor-made for Wushuang Palace, bringing the two powerful women back to the same starting line. They are still evenly matched and it is impossible to determine who is superior.

"That's how it is. Although I can't control the Demon-Summoning Banner, the divine object has a spirit and finds me quite pleasing, so it allows me to borrow its aura..."

He explained the current situation to Yuan and outlined their advantages.

The final boss, the Bull Demon King, is too strong. He is like an insurmountable barrier in front of the mission, impossible to cross head-on. Even though the three of them obtained a great opportunity, they still could not defeat him in a direct confrontation.

Xiang Yuan analyzed various possibilities. Last time, the Chaos Light failed to kill the Bull Demon King. If it were to happen again, there was still a possibility that the opponent would avoid it.

The Bull Demon King also has a bull horn!
Xiang Yuan devised a tactic: using the Demon Banner to intimidate the Bull Demon King, rendering him unable to resist, and then killing him with the Chaos Light in the moment of his distraction.

At this moment, Xiang Yuan was unaware that the Bull Demon King was able to block a beam of chaotic light not because of his horns, but because of the terrifying demonic thoughts residing within them. He assumed that the Bull Demon King still had one more chance to save his life, and made the worst-case scenario plan just in case.

As for why the Demon-Summoning Banner changed its attitude so drastically, from being able to see and touch it from afar but not use it, to being able to see, touch it, and even rub against it, the reason is quite simple.

It is related to the will of the Demon Emperor.

Seeing that Xiang Yuan had used the demon race's techniques to reverse the situation, the three-legged golden crow truly believed that the two races had reconciled and that the demon race would no longer be blamed. It smiled and dispersed, and even developed a good impression of Xiang Yuan.

The divine creatures possessed spirits and showed special care to Xiang Yuan.

Demon-Summoning Banner: You weren't originally capable, but since we're all on the same side, it's fine to let you use it for a bit. But don't be too happy yet, just use it once, no more.

The type of master determines the type of magical artifact. The Demon Emperor is awkward, and the Demon-Summoning Banner is quite pretentious as well.

By the way, the combination of the Formless Seal Technique and the Small World Technique is too gluttonous. It made Xiang Yuan act like a monster, not only refining the Demon Tomb and devouring the entire corpse of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, but also refining the Yin-Yang Twin Blades that led the way.

Although Xiang Yuan rarely used this set of magical artifacts, and the Yin-Yang Twin Blades hadn't left but had simply changed their form to stay by his side, not being able to use them and having no use for them were two different things. Every time he thought about it, he felt as heartbroken as if he had lost money while out.

This story teaches us that those who lead others astray never have a good ending!
What do you mean by "one of us" or "not losing one's royal status"? It's all a lie. Once you lose your value, that's when you die.

"A 50% chance of success, what do you two think?"

Xiang Yuan looked at the two of them, mainly to ask for Bai Wuyan's opinion; it didn't matter whether Su Ran Sword Master was willing or not.

The reason...

"You can do whatever you want. I will listen to you." Su Ran Sword Venerable blushed and lowered her head as she spoke, her voice so soft and delicate that it was hard to hear.

Some time ago, Xiang Yuan thought that he or Sword Venerable Suran had made some terrible mistake. He was terrified and asked about it through telepathy during their dual cultivation. Sword Venerable Suran hesitated and did not give a clear answer. He only said that since things had come to this, what else could be done? From now on, he would listen to Xiang Yuan.

Then she made all sorts of demands. She didn't expect the young man to dump his wife immediately, since he still needed to practice his skills. She only asked that he treat his new lover and his wife equally, and that he not be allowed to take sides when they fought.

Su Ran Sword Master's acting skills are top-notch. If Xiang Yuan hadn't known her character, he would definitely have been fooled by her.

With some doubt, he used his divine sense to ask Bai Wuyan, and received an unequivocal denial. Only then did he realize that the Sword Master Su Ran had taken too much medicine and had a nosebleed.

This is outrageous! This thing is utterly shameless!
Then Xiang Yuan didn't talk to Su Ran Sword Master much anymore; it was the latter who kept talking, chattering away about how some pretty boys, though they might take advantage of her and then turn their backs on her, were still a conservative woman. She accepted her fate after her virginity was ruined by these pretty boys.

She didn't mean anything by it; she just thought it was funny. As long as the adulterous couple was unhappy, she was happy.

The effect was outstanding. Even though she knew it was intentional, Bai Wuyan felt disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly. She said expressionlessly, "A 50% chance is already very high. My cultivation has greatly improved. This time, when I face the Bull Demon King, I will not be as pathetic as some little bitch."

Su Ran Sword Master: Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'm some kind of lowly wretch? Xiang Yuan, look at her! Even this old hag is bullying me!
Xiang Yuan ignored Su Ran Sword Master, put away the small world projection, and returned to the bottom of the Fallen Abortion Spring.

With the Demon Tomb gone, the Yin-Yang Gate also disappeared. The scarlet crack that had spanned the sky above the Demon Ruins Realm also vanished, and there was no longer any dripping, viscous blood, nor any corrupt will that twisted heaven and earth.

Taking a step further out, one sees beautiful mountains and clear waters, the primordial energy of heaven and earth is refreshed, and one feels a vibrant and thriving world rushing towards them.

"what?!"

A soft exclamation expressed both amazement at the world's purification and surprise at the unexpected visitor.

There are cows!

I saw the Bull Demon King as soon as I stepped outside!
Oh, the Bull Demon King moved here many years ago, and his whole family is considered local natives. They are the uninvited guests.

Washing away the madness and tyranny of his demonic thoughts, and shedding the corrupting and turbid air, the Bull Demon King regained his senses and his former status as a demon saint.

His figure was as imposing as a mountain, with broad shoulders and a large bull's head standing proudly. His eyes were as big as copper bells, with golden pupils. Wherever his gaze fell, the air distorted and trembled.

With each exhalation from his mouth and nose, white mist surged like waves, and his breath sent wisps of sparks flying.

Clad in a tattered yet still imposing black iron battle armor, with two bull horns that seemed capable of piercing the sky—the left one severed—he appeared somewhat disheveled, but it did not diminish his authority as a gang leader.

Without demonic influence or corruption penetrating his body, the Bull Demon King's magical power returned to its peak.

He is not at his peak either, because due to the version suppression mechanism of the Demon Ruins Realm, he only has seven or eight tenths of his strength at this moment.

Gone was the chaotic, frenzied demonic energy; in its place was a pure, boundless, almost savage demonic power. That power was as heavy as the earth and as violent as thunder; simply by standing still, the surrounding space hummed under its strain.

The ground beneath their feet cracked on its own; this was not destruction, but submission.

This is the real Monkey King who pacifies the heavens!

Without relying on demonic thoughts or resorting to external tricks, this demonic body with boundless magical power is enough to make immortals and Buddhas retreat and all living beings tremble!

Oh no, the Tauren version got buffed!
Xiang Yuan was speechless. He had seen powerful bosses at the bottom level, but he had never seen one as unreasonable as the Bull Demon King. He was already difficult to defeat, and now he had been amplified and strengthened.

What's the point of playing this? You can't even beat the game!

Xiang Yuan realized the situation was tricky. Retreat was no longer an option. He clenched his fists, which were hidden in his sleeves, and a fierce glint flashed between his brows. Since there was no way out, he would fight him to the death.

"You're amazing..."

Bang!

The moment Xiang Yuan spoke, the Bull Demon King's iron body knelt down, his eyes filled with tears: "Thank you, Immortal, for helping me, this old bull, to wash away my demonic thoughts. Your great kindness is like that of my parents. I have no way to repay you. I am willing to follow you, Immortal, to the Bodhisattva to receive my punishment."

"???"

A series of question marks flashed across Xiang Yuan's mind. He had seen all kinds of situations and had devised several tactics to adapt to the situation for the final battle.

But no matter how wildly imaginative he was, he never expected that the Bull Demon King would kneel down upon meeting him. Plans can't keep up with changes, and all his tactics were useless.

No, you are the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Demon King. Is it really okay for you to kneel down so readily?
That's right. So what if he's the Great Sage Equaling Heaven? In front of Guanyin, he's just a little calf. If he doesn't want to be ruined, he has to recognize his status as a nobody.

In the face of great compassion, there is no such thing as a gang leader; just call him Ah Niu!

Upon hearing the Bull Demon King mention Guanyin Bodhisattva, Xiang Yuan roughly understood what was going on; the bull must have something to ask of him, but...

Xiang Yuan wondered why the Bull Demon King had regained his senses, and whether it was true or not. He asked Bai Wuyan and Su Ran Sword Master in the chat room, wanting to hear their opinions.

Xiang Yuan: The Minotaur has regained consciousness, but we don't know if it's real or not. How likely do you think he's just acting?
Bai Wuyan: They act one way in front of people and another way behind their backs. They may be affectionate in public, but they are scheming behind the scenes. You should never trust such hypocrisy and scheming!
Su Ran Sword Master: It's all an act, a facade. You'd be better off believing that the pretty boy has reformed and will never again be a kept man.

If you say that, then I really can't believe you!

Xiang Yuan nodded secretly. His thoughts coincided with those of the two women. It was a lie that the Bull Demon King had shed his demonic thoughts; the truth was that his demonic thoughts were hidden even deeper. The Minotaur had no good intentions, and believing him was a fool's errand!

If I'm not mistaken, the Bull Demon King suffered a great loss at the hands of the Chaos Light, lowered his guard with feigned sincerity, and believed the endless lies. Now the Minotaur's battle axe should be cleaving the God of Pure Love.

“Immortal, this is the relic that the Bodhisattva sought. I was worried that the demon would take it away, so I kept it close to my body. Now that you have come, it is only right that you keep it safe.” The Bull Demon King smiled honestly and took out the Reincarnation Relic with both hands to present it.

Seeing that Xiang Yuan and the other two were still on guard, his simple smile became even more honest. He pushed out the Reincarnation Relic from a distance, and it slowly floated to Xiang Yuan's front before stopping.

"..." x3
Xiangyuan: (一''一)
What did Xiang say again? He's a good guy, he's genuinely repented, but you two insist on looking at him with prejudice.

There are so many bad people in this world, can't you all be as positive, cheerful, and kind to the world as Xiang Mou?
Pah, you wicked woman!
