The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 359 The Tomb of the Martial Saint
Upon hearing this, Zhenniang smiled without saying a word. She was neither angry nor annoyed by the contemptuous words, but instead greeted them with a smile.

"Senior Yue Jin is too kind. I am only at the fourth level of the True Intent Realm and have only left Thousand Wood City a few times. How can my understanding of Chaotic Stone Mountain compare with that of you seniors?"

Zhenniang bowed slightly, then looked at Su Yan and the other person with a hint of seeking permission.

Long Qiushui waved for Zhenniang to leave, then looked toward the source of the sound.

A burly, dark-skinned man with short hair, a thick beard, and eyes like copper bells, wearing a black sable robe and black satin trousers, with a gold belt around his waist, stood at a distance, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"Black Gold Tiger Yue Jin greets the two fellow Daoists."

Yue Jin's voice was deep and hoarse, but his aura was quite imposing.

Long Qiushui remained expressionless, giving off an unapproachable air, and simply said, "The Great Tomb of Luanshi Mountain is the tomb of a Martial Saint. Fellow Daoist's claim of understanding the tomb is perhaps a little hard to believe."

The Martial Saint's Tomb—you, a mere Danqiao Realm martial artist, dare to claim you understand it? That's somewhat of an exaggeration.

Yue Jin was not annoyed, but simply said, "The Great Tomb of Luanshi Mountain originated from the Great War of the Three Saints four thousand years ago. The High Priest of the Barbarian Kingdom, the Arhat of the Buddhist Kingdom, and the Rock Martial Saint of the Western Continent fought a great battle. The Rock Martial Saint fought against two of them alone, leading 30,000 disciples of Luanshi Mountain, along with warriors from the Barbarian Kingdom and the Buddhist Kingdom, to their deaths in this secret realm. It is said that the Thousand-Mile Golden Sandbar was also caused by the three of them severing the earth's veins."

Yue Jin spoke with great familiarity, explaining in detail: "The Lost Realm of Luanshi Mountain contains the entire lineage's opportunities, scattered throughout various places. Martial artists from the Barbarian Kingdom and the Buddhist Kingdom also have their lineages within it. However, when the secret realm collapsed, it devoured not only martial artists but also many other living beings. Four thousand years later, it has long since developed its own ecosystem, with wild beasts, monsters, and the restrictions of Luanshi Mountain all becoming sources of danger. Entering Luanshi Mountain is no less challenging than breaking through the mountain gate."

Su Yan raised his head slightly: "Fellow Daoist is aware of the dangers involved."

That's why we need to find some helpers.

Yue Jin narrowed his eyes: "I wonder if you two fellow Daoists would be interested in exploring the path together? With the opening of the Chaotic Stone Mountain Tomb this time, the earth vein fluctuations are far greater than before, and I imagine many restricted and sealed areas will appear."

Yue Jin clearly intended to invite helpers, or rather, all the Danqiao Realm martial artists who entered this Golden Pavilion were intentionally looking for opponents.

This is a tacit understanding that has formed among the Danqiao Realm martial artists outside of the Golden Sands.

A martial artist at the Danqiao Realm is indeed powerful; an 800-year lifespan is considered an ancestor-level figure in any region.

But the Wild Martial World is so vast, and the path of martial arts is so long, there are always people who want to go further.

However, if you want to go further, then resources such as wealth, companions, methods, and land are indispensable.

Exploring dangerous places and fighting third-tier wild beasts are the most common things.

Although the Golden Sands is strange, the wild beasts in it are extremely powerful, so it has become a place frequently visited by martial artists at the Danqiao Realm.

"don't go"

Yue Jin stood there, stunned. He looked at Su Yan in surprise, not expecting Su Yan to answer so decisively.

"In that case, I, Yue, have disturbed you."

He was also decisive; after realizing what was happening, he clasped his hands in a fist salute, turned around, and stopped talking.

Meanwhile, a martial artist at the Danqiao realm who seemed somewhat interested began to secretly communicate with him.

Soon after, Zhenniang brought over a table full of food, including delicacies made from second- and third-tier wild beasts, as well as spirit wine. The food was delicious and pleasing to the eye, truly befitting the name of the Golden Pavilion.

An hour passed after the two finished eating.

Only two people remain in the pavilion, where the alchemy chambers once frequented.

"All the alchemists in the city have gone to the Chaotic Stone Mountain; the opening of the secret realm is quite a lively affair."

Long Qiushui's eyes flickered slightly. A Martial Saint's Secret Realm was right in front of her, which was a great temptation for a martial artist.

"With the opening of this well-known secret realm, the level of chaos and confusion is probably unimaginable. We don't need to get involved in this mess."

While the legacy of a Martial Saint is indeed precious, Su Yan possesses the physical world techniques of the Martial Saint Bai Yujing.

Now, it consumes a massive amount of spirit stones every day, and with the continuous development by the ancient spirit insects and the spring and autumn withering insects, it has now grown to the size of two or three islands, with lush green grass and sprouting trees, showing a different kind of vitality.

The strength of his inner world was enough to make Su Yan's defense several levels stronger.

Having acquired this martial saint's secret technique, Su Yan naturally wasn't in such a hurry for other inheritances. For him, the transformation of his own ferocious insect was far more important.

"Are you satisfied, senior?"

After the two finished eating, Zhenniang came upstairs to serve them.

Su Yan said, "Is this information trading by the Golden Pavilion?"

Zhenniang paused for a moment, then nodded: "The Sand Whale Sect has strongholds all over the Western Continent, especially in the southwest, where they naturally have a presence."

"Find me a map of the Thousand Trees Mountain Range, and information on the various calamity beasts."

Zhenniang's pupils suddenly contracted. These two were only at the Danqiao realm, yet they dared to plot against a fourth-tier calamity beast.

"The calamity beast is powerful; I'm afraid we..."

Before she could finish speaking, Long Qiushui glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and Zhenniang felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, as if all the power in her body had been suppressed.

"I'll do it now, little man."

They naturally didn't know the detailed information about the calamity beasts, but the Thousand Wood Mountains were only so big, and as locals, they knew exactly where these wild beasts roamed.

The map was quickly retrieved; it was a small map, yet it was worth hundreds of third-tier spirit stones.

The third-tier wild beasts, fourth-tier disaster beasts, and dangerous areas of the Thousand Wood Mountains were all marked on it.

You get what you pay for. In this kind of business, the biggest taboo for Golden Pavilion is to cheat.

Moreover, and more importantly, Zhenniang felt that the two of them were not Danqiao Realm martial artists at all.

Having achieved their goal, Su Yan and Long Qiushui left the house and flew towards the Thousand Wood Mountains.

As they flew, no one easily followed behind them.

According to the map, the core area of ​​the Thousand Trees Mountain Range is composed of thousands of boxwood spirit trees. Each spirit tree is comparable to gold and stone, is extremely large, and has the effect of gathering spiritual energy, which is equivalent to a special ley line.

Therefore, the further in you go, the more powerful wild beasts you will encounter.

"The lair of the Ten Thousand Blade Gengjin Beast is located in the inner circle of Sword Stone Valley. Sword Stone Valley is very close to Ancient Wood Cliff and Golden Lake. The Yin Erosion Demon Bull and the Golden Scale Spider will probably arrive in an instant."

Long Qiushui had also seen the map and knew that there were as many as seven fourth-tier calamity beasts in the Thousand Wood Mountains.

Although the territories are different, they are close to each other.

She pondered, "I can hold off one, but the remaining two will probably focus on you. If I can't finish this quickly, the rest will likely come over and start a beast tide."

Su Yan pondered. There was no array to suppress it here, so the power unleashed by the fourth-tier calamity beast would probably be even more difficult to contain and troublesome.

"Lure it out."

With an idea in mind, Su Yan waved his hand, and the Devouring Soldier Youming appeared in front of him.

Even if the Thousand-Blade Gengjin Beast has allies, it won't intervene too quickly in a battle between wild beasts.

Therefore, the two will have a chance.

With the Seed of Insect Consciousness activated, Su Yan instantly focused his consciousness on the Devouring Soldier Youming, and the Devouring Soldier Youming's perspective immediately appeared in his mind.

“I led him to the outer circle.”

As soon as the voice fell, Su Yan and Long Qiushui hid in the outer circle, concealing their auras. Then, the Devouring Soldier Netherworld Phantom flapped its wings, and its body swelled to more than ten zhang in size.

The black wings flapped like knives, the clanging sound startling many birds and beasts in the Thousand Wood Mountains, who then charged directly into the Thousand Wood Mountains without any concealment.
