After cultivating immortality, she devoted herself to becoming an ancestor

Chapter 129 Sand
“We can return and take you away, but we won’t lend you any body.” Fan Liyue understood the seriousness of the situation.

But it became clearer that this Dragon King was not the Purple Lotus Dragon King who lived in the Taiyuan Realm, and his words could not be taken at face value.

Since there's a problem with the earth veins, we should leave this place and search the earth veins of the Great Yuan Realm. We'll eventually find and destroy them.

"It won't work without a physical body. I've already said that I'm only borrowing his body, and I'll return it later," the Dragon King insisted.

Shen Suiren was even more insistent than him: "There's nothing to discuss." He then turned and urged the bird feathers to continue flying away.

The Dragon King grew anxious: "Don't you even think about your human race?"

Unless the secrets set by those people are uncovered, this is the future of the Taiyuan Realm.

Humanity has dwindled, and demonic beasts roam freely, turning the land into a training ground for cultivators from other realms.

"My shoulders are too thin to bear this heavy responsibility." A demon talking to her about the greater good of humanity? Isn't that just plain ridiculous?

Seeing that his father was about to say something, Shen Suiren quickly asked in a telepathic voice, "Dad, you won't be fooled by him, will you?"

The array masters of the Taiyuan Realm aren't pushovers; they're not going to miss the problems within the earth's veins.

Shen Dingru would never do such a thing. If the Dragon King really wanted to rebuild his physical body, why not find a demon to possess? "I have no intention of sacrificing myself for someone else."

I was just thinking that the fact that the Dragon King had been hiding inside the Past and Future Stone for so many years meant that the stone could protect his soul.

If we find and give him more fragments of the Future Stone, will he no longer want other people's bodies?

“The piece I gave him did indeed nourish his soul, but now we need to stretch him out.”

We can't let him control us. Anyway, Shen Suiren had a bad first impression of the Black Dragon King.

Fan Liyue and Lei Dun shared the same idea. Now that the person had been rescued and the spiritual herbs growing around the dragon bone were in their hands, they couldn't ask the Dragon King for anything.

The moment their eyes met, the flying sword sped away, leaving the Dragon King inside his dragon bones, raging with fury.

After he calmed down and thought about it, he was shocked to realize that in his haste, he had revealed his trump card to this group of cultivators.

He immediately regretted it, "Humans are known for their tendency to abandon their allies after they've served their purpose."

But this bridge of mine cannot be demolished at will.

Sooner or later, you'll find you can't leave this place and will have to come begging to me.

……

"Fellow Daoist Fan, the entrance is completely destroyed. We have searched for a long time but have not been able to find a new passage."

"How are things on your end? Did you manage to collect the Dragon Blood Grass?" Xu and Gan, who remained at the original location and had reached the Core Formation stage, sent a message to Fan Liyue.

Coincidentally, another group of Core Formation cultivators heading to the Spirit Realm passage also sent a message at this time: "The entrance and exit to the Spirit Realm have disappeared."

We captured several spirits who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage. They said that before the earthquake, their realm had already self-destructed, and they were communicating with each other to find a way out.

"In this urgent situation, we must dismantle all the protective platforms of the Dragon-Slaying Formation, and then decide what to do next."

Fan Liyue nodded and replied, "I agree. There has been a change in the dragon bone located at the Yin position in the central palace. We will redeploy the defenses of the Yang city. There is no rush to break through either of them."

They have now flown to a place not far from the city.

On the one hand, we are here to help everyone heal their wounds, and on the other hand, we are here to confirm whether the city and its surrounding areas are safe after the earthquake.

Fortunately, apart from the demon corpses, no living demons appeared along the way, and the city seemed to be in good condition: "Qian and Kan have been broken, and Dui is breaking. Fellow Daoists, which array eye do you choose and which one will you arrange for us to go?"

Our team currently has two Core Formation cultivators, one seventh-tier dragon and one seventh-tier fox, and one fifth-tier lightning bird.

There were also twenty-two Foundation Establishment cultivators, twenty of whom were wounded, and one Core Formation cultivator was captured.

Upon hearing her words, the people on the other side of the talisman exchanged glances. They had originally planned for Lei Dun to go to the Zhen position: "We saw Fellow Daoist Lei fighting with someone on the water before. How is he doing now?"

"The Core Formation cultivator in the battle has been destroyed, and Senior Brother Lei is seriously injured."

"Then, would Dragon King Ao Jian be willing to go to the Zhen position in the east to break the formation?"

"Yes, but I need to send the Dragon Blood Grass to detoxify it, which will take a little longer." In fact, Fan Liyue wanted to give Sui Chu and the other two time to retrieve the Strange Fire.

The other party wasn't in a hurry: "Okay, it's a deal."

While they were talking, Juexing and Gongsun Lexun had already worked together to help Cheng Zhishun draw out the poisonous blood.

"I'm still a little dizzy. What kind of poison is it?" He was seeing double.

Juexing has already sent a message to his senior brother Jueyuan to ask, "They said there is a strange willow growing in the Duiwei Swamp, as well as a large patch of ghost orchids."

Now that most of it has been broken open, a small Nightmare Stone ore has been discovered underneath.

Therefore, this poison doesn't specifically target any particular type; it's likely formed from the mixture of gases inhaled by demonic beasts.

"This place is bad for me."

"No, it harms everyone."

“Excluding the beginning of the year, she benefited the most.” Cheng Zhishun was somewhat jealous.

Shen Suiren slapped him on the shoulder: "After you get back the strange fire, go to the thunder zone where there might be lightning in the Zhen position. I guarantee your weirdness will be completely gone."

Of course, before that, we had to enter the city to inspect and repair the great formation. Fortunately, the city was located in the central palace position, and only some houses collapsed, with no major damage.

Those who came to deliver the elixirs were naturally warmly welcomed.

When the city lord and the others saw that Shen Suiren had returned safely and had even rescued the immortal masters, their initial shock and fear finally subsided.

He dared not send anything more: "Master Shen, are you and the other immortal masters really not going to stay and recuperate?"

"No, you can organize yourselves. Once the crisis that has trapped you here is over, I will definitely take you to live in the cultivation world." The land of the evil dragon is not a suitable place for humans to stay.

Shen Dingru had promised them years ago that he could introduce those with exceptional talent to join the Taiyi Sect.

The city lord and the Qi cultivators thanked them profusely, and watched them fly away on their swords once more. "Quickly inform all neighborhoods and streets to only take valuables with them."

Leaving aside the chaos and commotion within the city, when Shen Suiren and his group returned to the collapsed entrance as if on a whirlwind, the array's core had already been destroyed.

Unfortunately, the swamp was full of poisonous plants, and there was no antidote or poison that could be used to fight poison with poison.

This somewhat dampened everyone's joy at seeing relatives and friends who had been missing for many years.

The precious dragon blood grass was used to draw out poison, which made many alchemists sigh. Not only was it too wasteful, but the aftereffects of its use could not be eliminated for a while.

At the temporary camp, Yun Chuan came to Shen Dingru to discuss: "Do you think we could borrow some dragon blood from the Little Dragon King so that everyone can..."

Upon hearing his words, Cheng Zhishun immediately jumped up, drew his sword, and thrust it forward: "Yun Chuan, you're asking for it."

"Fellow Daoist Cheng, calm down. You are all too weak to fight, what's wrong with seeking out the Little Dragon King?" Yun Chuan didn't dodge, his spiritual sword swiftly deflecting the weak sword.

Shen Dingru helped Cheng Zhishun up and spoke with strong disapproval: "Yun Chuan..."

"Of course not. The Little Dragon King is a Nascent Soul Elder in our sect's official register."

"Whoever dares to drink his blood, I will bleed them out." Shen Suiren beat his father to the punch, drawing his sword without hesitation and looking around at the tempted cultivators.

Many cultivators avoided the topic out of guilt; they didn't have Yun Chuan's courage to bring it up.

Luo Ning and a dozen or so other cultivators from the Immortal Travel Sect also drew their swords and brandished their blades, shouting, "Who dares to touch Junior Uncle (Grandmaster)?"

The disciples of Taiyi Sect naturally couldn't let their senior brother handle the situation alone, so they all rushed over.

Fortunately, the Core Formation cultivators who were discussing matters inside the tent arrived quickly, preventing them from drawing their swords as well.

"What are you doing? Don't you have a headache or your eyesight improve?"
"If you have the strength, form a team and break through the formation." Master Xu's sharp eyes swept over the Foundation Establishment cultivators.

When it came to Shen Suiren, she simply skipped over her, lest she be unable to resist scolding him and offending her fellow Daoist Fan beside her. "Take them in. Except for those who are still suffering from poisoning, the rest of you will follow me to the Zhen position to break the formation." Fan Liyue openly protected her own disciple.

He then said to the Core Formation cultivators, "Uncle-Master Ao Jian recently joined the Immortal Travel Sect, but due to the matter of the teleportation gate, he has not yet invited all parties to the celebration banquet."

"Oh, King Chongming, Tianhu, and Xuanwu have also joined our sect as guest elders."

"Congratulations!" The group of Core Formation cultivators were incredibly envious. When it was said that the Little Dragon King was being raised in the Immortal Travel Sect, everyone had already predicted that he would be tricked into joining the sect.

Anyone would be tempted to seize such a great opportunity and not fully embrace it, but no one expected the Immortal Wandering Sect to act so quickly.

But the ninth-tier Chongming Bird also joined, along with the Heavenly Fox and Xuanwu. How could the Immortal Travel Sect be so lucky?

Therefore, their gazes involuntarily turned to Shen Suiren and Shen Dingru beside her, and then to the silent, closed-eye appearance of Daoist Xu from the Taiyi Sect.

Tsk tsk tsk, the Taiyi Sect is even more thrilled than them, very good.

Then Shen Suiren walked towards Fellow Daoist Xu and said, "Master Xu, I would like to invite my father to accompany me."

"Of course," Master Xu replied with a generous smile, no matter how unwilling he was.

Unexpectedly, Shen Suiren also sought to borrow disciples from the Great Buddha Temple, the Xuanjian Sect, and the Demon Moon Sect, and these three sects readily agreed.

After setting off, Lei Dun and Fan Liyue split into two groups, each leading their disciples to retrieve the Strange Fire.

The difference is that Shen Dingru is now part of the five-person group.

He glanced at the still-erupting lava in front of him, a little worried: "It's still erupting. Will the strange flames be willing to leave?"

"You have to leave whether you want to or not." Cheng Zhishun sat quietly, communicating with the Netherworld Fire.

Shen Suiren and Juexing followed suit. The three of them contacted the strange fire through a contract and, by using their vision, unexpectedly discovered that the bottom of the volcano was connected to the fire pool of Shaowu Mountain.

The three of them opened their eyes simultaneously: "The exit is at the bottom of the volcano?!"

"Can you be sure?" Lei Dun scanned the area with his eyes, but his divine sense would be scorched by the magma, so he wasn't sure if what the three of them saw was real.

“It should be true. I once went with my master to the Shaowu Fire Pool to retrieve fire.” Juexing rubbed his burning temples.

Shen Suiren had also visited the Fire Pool in his previous life, "I will come back to explore it again after the volcano cools down."

"Regardless of whether it is true or not, let's recall them first." Cheng Zhishun needed the strange fire to help him clear away the remaining poison.

Fortunately, the strange flames had absorbed most of it, so they could be recalled without too much effort.

This was the first time Lei Dun and his companions had seen three extraordinary flames of heaven and earth, and they found them exceptionally dazzling.

Not long after Cheng Zhishun withdrew his strange fire, he guided it through all the meridians of the body, and the remaining toxins in the body were visibly expelled.

"It works very well, you should wash yourself quickly." Burnt, charred, and smelly, Luo Ning avoided it like the plague.

"At the beginning of the year, I'm feeling restless and I'm too weak to do anything. Could you help me cast a few purification spells?" Cheng Zhishun needed to cultivate for a while longer to replenish his spiritual energy.

Juexing jumped away: "You're so lazy."

Cheng Zhishun shifted his focus: "Fellow Daoist Nie?"

“Exchange it for a spiritual object.” Nie Chengzhang didn’t tolerate him either.

Cheng Zhishun obediently made a hand seal: "Then I'll do it myself."

Shen Suiren was busy fiddling with his own Starfire and didn't have time to pay attention to him: "Uncle-Master, look what this is?"

She lifted a grain of crimson sand with her spiritual power. She had just asked the little fox king in the spatial room, who said he didn't recognize it.

Lei Dun took it: "It has no spiritual power, and it doesn't resemble the soil at the bottom of a volcano."

“I’ve seen it before.” Shen Dingru’s spirit beast, the Fire Crow, had been awake in the spirit beast ring for a long time, and now it finally had a chance to jump out and speak.

"Where is it? What is it? What is it used for?" Shen Suiren asked three questions in a row.

Huo Ya looked at Shen Dingru and nodded before saying, "In your mother's dowry chest, she said to sprinkle some on the bottom to dehumidify and repel insects."

"Use sand? Does that even exist in the mortal realm?"

"Father, do you think there is sand like this in our hometown?" Shen Suiren remembered that there were no volcanoes near his hometown in the mortal realm. Could something that could be brought by the strange fire but not burned be a mortal thing?

It’s impossible to even think about it.

As Shen Dingru shook his head, Cheng Zhishun said, "This thing is definitely no ordinary object. You should keep it safe. We can go down and explore it after the volcano stops."

Shen Suiren glanced at the incessantly erupting volcano and could only sigh in despair.

They arrived at Zhenwei and joined Fan Liyue and the others more than an hour later.

However, the so-called Zhen position array eye looked like an ordinary, barren hill, without even a thunder spirit.

Oh no, there are still some; there are a few Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Spirit Realm who have been immobilized.

When these people saw Master Pan being released from the spatial room, they all blinked, wanting to speak to him, but unfortunately, their mouths and spiritual communication were temporarily sealed by the immobilization talisman.

At Lei Dun's signal, Master Pan stepped forward and removed the immobilization talismans from their bodies. "The Spirit Realm passage has been destroyed. Do you want to come with me to the Taiyuan Realm?"

“True Person…” Several Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Spirit Realm were unwilling, but dared not speak in front of the two Core Formation cultivators from the Taiyuan Realm.

Only one person said, "Master Pan, we came here to try to split open the mountain to find a passage."

"You guys are quite clever, taking the initiative in the Zhen position. Let's split it open and see." Fan Liyue glanced at them with a half-smile.

"Splitting mountains? Master Li Yue's axe is the most suitable." Shen Suiren noticed that the work they did was either splitting or chopping.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the Longyuan Sword flew out of Shen Dingru's hand and unleashed an unparalleled sword aura with a single slash.

The people present were forced to retreat again and again by the powerful spiritual energy storm.

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Spirit Realm seized the opportunity to capture Master Pan, whose dantian was sealed, and fled.

The latter tried to stop them but failed, and immediately cried for help: "Fellow Daoist Lei, please help me."

“Master Pan isn’t afraid of Master Lei, he’s afraid of his own people.” Cheng Zhishun clicked his tongue a few times when he saw Lei Dun indeed go to the rescue.

Shen Suiren laughed and said, "They are all rogue cultivators doing missions. His spiritual power is sealed right now, and they are afraid that his own people will kill him and steal his treasures."

"What treasure does he have? He's dirt poor."

"Look, a spirit stone mine!" Juexing was pulled back by Nie Chengzhang. As soon as he stood up, he saw piles of uncut spirit stone ore blocks under the split hill.

"Water Spirit Stone?" Luo Ning loved water-based items the most. Just as she took a step to approach, Shen Suiren grabbed her and flew away.

The others didn't have time to ask what was going on, and they all left as well.

Before they could fly ten miles away, Ling Shi Mountain exploded with loud bangs, and the earth shook violently once again, the rumbling even more intense than before.

Shen Suiren's bird feathers lost their weight again, and the group was thrown into disarray in the blink of an eye.

A giant tree covered in lightning burst forth from the ground, instantly waking the sleeping Little Dragon King.

He flew out with a whoosh, circled the tree with a dragon-like roar, and in the blink of an eye, the world changed color, with dark clouds accompanied by thunder and lightning.

Shen Suiren was lucky enough to be struck by lightning and fall into a gaping hole in the ground.

"A bountiful harvest!" Shen Dingru leaped to grab it, but was bounced back by the crack.

Even Fan Liyue couldn't get down; she was thrown out violently.

Underground, the little fox king pointed ahead: "At the beginning of the year, there is a lot of red sand."
