Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 275: Realm Blockade
Li Ye was thinking in his heart, but he was not anxious at all.

This secret magic cave is someone else's lair after all. Although he is determined to obtain the mother tree of the Sky Realm Tree, he cannot lose his composure and lose his usual steady style.

Even if he breaks through to the Golden Core stage, he is not invincible, so he still has to be careful.

Letting his natal puppet go in first to explore can not only avoid an ambush by the demons, but also allow him to look from behind to see if there is anyone in the coalition with ill intentions and take this opportunity to stab him in the back.

He changed his appearance and now looked completely inconspicuous among the group of cultivators.

As a low-level cultivator, he only needs to do some odd jobs. Now he can assist the army in guarding and blocking the secret realm of the demon cave.

However, he can leisurely observe the surrounding movements while controlling his own puppet to take action.

"When the Tiangong Sutra reaches the third level, its effects become even more miraculous. The rituals and practices with the natal puppet become even closer, allowing it to absorb some of the mana, changing its appearance in a short period of time and simulating its aura, making it indistinguishable from the real person..."

"Unless one has a strong spiritual consciousness or some secret method to detect vitality and blood, there is no way to see through this disguise!"

Li Ye watched Meihua talking to her natal puppet without showing any suspicion, and he sighed.

Although the Tiangong Sutra tends to be "useful", and its rhyme is slightly inferior to the Wood God Technique, as the cultivation level becomes stronger, the means that can be developed and constructed with the natal puppet as the core continue to improve, and it is not inferior to the Wood God Technique at all.

"Hmm... is there really someone?"

Li Ye, who was on guard along with the others, suddenly had a slightly changed expression, but he immediately restrained his consciousness without moving his eyes at all.

Without anyone noticing, a thin, almost invisible black gas mixed with the local demonic energy silently passed through the blockade set up by the coalition forces and entered the secret realm of the demon cave.

"eccentric!"

The third-level black dragon glanced at the place where the black gas had just escaped, stretched out its claws and scratched its head, showing some suspicion.

The thick demonic energy in this place has a significant impact on him, a pure demon. His perception, which he was not good at to begin with, has become even more obvious now.

But he didn't see it, but Li Ye didn't miss it.

The combination of spiritual awareness and the quietly deployed means allowed him to see his movements clearly.

"A Jindan demon cultivator... His aura seems slightly fluctuating and mixed, with a strong demonic aura. Furthermore, he is injured?"

Li Ye's mind raced, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Where on earth did this person come from?
And the injuries on his body don't seem right either...

If it was a Jindan cultivator from the four countries, in such a resource-poor place, when would such a person who was absolutely impossible and had no reputation appear...

Then there is a high possibility that it came from the other side of the Wanshou Mountains!

Thinking of this, Li Ye's heart moved slightly, and he sneered silently.

No matter where this person comes from, he must have ulterior motives in sneaking around like this!

If they were more sensible, it would be fine if they just coveted the resources of the demon clan. Perhaps they could even cooperate and get what they needed.

But if this person has ideas about the mother tree of the Sky Realm Tree and wants to be the one who takes advantage of it, then don't blame him for giving him a surprise!

……

"Fellow Daoist Li, what's wrong with the path I pointed out?"

Meihua noticed that Li Ye's expression seemed to be wrong, and was afraid that he didn't trust her and might suddenly attack her, so she asked hurriedly.

"nothing."

Li Ye replied calmly, looking ahead. "We've already broken through several layers of the demonic defenses and advanced quite a bit. Considering the size of this secret realm, we should be close to the inner area... Why hasn't Wu Yuan made any movement yet?" "Relying solely on these low-level demons, even if the environment here suppresses cultivators like us, they can't stop our army's progress!"

"This……"

Meihua smiled bitterly, "I don't know what Wu Yuan's plan is. In fact, when we surrounded you last time, he was just giving us orders. We didn't see him in person..."

"I'm afraid they might still be in seclusion now!"

"Are you still in seclusion..."

Li Ye pondered in his heart, but without hesitation he called his assistant and said:

"Send a message back and send in another batch of reinforcements... Also, order the monks to take the Impurity-Removing Pills and the Body-Cleansing Pills to speed up the advance!"

He was really a little afraid that Wu Yuan would give him the task of forcing him to attack the city while the enemy was at the gate or to refine a precious treasure. That would really make him a villain!
Even though his main body was outside to deal with any emergencies, he was afraid that the Sky Realm Tree was too powerful and beyond his ability to handle.

As the order was passed down, all the monks in the army took elixirs to expel the evil energy they had absorbed along the way and restore their condition to its original state as much as possible.

And with the protection of the Qingshen Pill, he had some resistance to the evil spirit.

Suddenly, the declining combat power of the army recovered and even increased. They raised their morale and continuously defeated the demons blocking their way, and their advancement speed increased.

Wherever they passed, the corpses of demons and monks were scattered all over the ground, and blood of various colors splattered all over the slightly dim and distorted earth.

But after experiencing the blood sacrifice methods of the demons.

However, Li Ye did not give them any chance to accumulate. He arranged a team of logistics monks to continuously clean up the numerous corpses, transport them out of the secret realm of the magic cave, and throw them into the outside world.

The monk's body was carefully collected and sent back to the sect or family for burial.

As for the corpses of the demons, we will keep some valuable items and destroy the rest, leaving no chance for the demons to use them!
……

"Why are they suddenly mobilizing troops and speeding up the march?"

Zhan Xinrui sneaked in and hid his tracks far away. He followed behind the army and saw the movement, and his expression became a little gloomy.

Could it be that Li Ye has already known about the spiritual root of heaven and earth that the demon leader has occupied and is suspected to be a legacy of the Wood God Sect?

Even though when he sneaked in at the beginning, that guy only relied on some power of the sacred tree, and he almost immediately became the master of this secret realm. With the power of the void added to his body, he was extremely powerful!

But in just one encounter, he was severely injured.

If he had not had some means to save his life, he would have fled immediately. However, that guy seemed to have only a preliminary grasp of the sacred tree. He had not even refined it thoroughly, and could not even change the appearance of the sacred tree.

I'm afraid he will really die there!

The reason he was able to come back now was that he forcibly took away a lot of the demonic energy of the foundation-building demon clan, suppressed his injuries, and finally recovered most of his strength.

The demon leader controls the sacred tree and has the essence of demonic energy condensed from the power of the secret realm. It is really a huge temptation. If you can seize it, your cultivation will definitely improve greatly.

While Li Ye is personally leading the army to attack the demons here and enter the secret realm of the demon cave, they are bound to have a big battle!
Maybe he can find an opportunity to take action...

Even if we cannot take away the sacred tree, if we can take away the essence of demonic energy during the chaos, it will be worthwhile for us to come all the way across the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains!
"I just hope that Li Ye really has the magical powers that the rumors say he has, and can contain the demon leader..."

Zhan Xinrui was thinking to himself, and was about to continue to follow the army, when suddenly his expression changed slightly.

Before he could retreat, he felt the void changing, and the rolling demonic energy mixed with the power of the void distorted the surroundings.

It actually formed a boundary blockade, completely locking a part of the army inside and isolating it from the outside world!
