The road is vague

Chapter 331 The Golden Tortoise Master
Next, Li Mo deactivated the Six Ding Six Jia Void Forbidden Array.

The three giant serpents trapped inside looked at Li Mo, who was holding the Dark Thunder Heavenly Book.

Because of the Dark Thunder Heavenly Book's return-to-true nature, it cannot be stored or put away freely like other magical treasures, nor can it be put into a storage bag. It must be carried with one's person, making it quite conspicuous.

However, these kinds of magical treasures are generally incredibly powerful and full of mysteries.

The three giant serpents trapped in the great formation, their six eyes flashing with black lightning, crawled toward Li Mo, bowing three heads in submission.

Li Mo smiled softly.

Then, the true demon clone leaped up and stood on the head of the three giant serpents in the middle.

Li Mo has some initial plans for the future.

The True Demon Avatar, by residing in the bodies of hereine believers with primordial demonic blood, achieved a cultivation level that reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm in just ten years after these believers died and he reclaimed the primordial demonic blood.

of course.

There is also a true demon clone here. More than 20 years ago, it had already advanced to the Golden Core stage. Because it had been cultivating on Misty Peak for many years, and because it had consumed the Evil God Grass, its power had increased. However, the power it gained by recycling the demon blood residing in the body of the evil believer was an unparalleled tonic for the true demon clone.

After advancing to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, the True Demon Avatar's comprehension of the power of heaven and earth significantly improved, and its core magic power cultivation increased by 50% to 60% compared to the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

From this point of view.

Although this place is extremely unsuitable for Li Mo's main body to cultivate for a long time, it is a paradise for the true demon avatar.

If this were in the Central Plains, it would be extremely dangerous for a demonic avatar to establish a cult and attempt to corrupt cultivators from various sects. It would also be accompanied by the risk of losing demonic blood and moral issues.

Every country has organizations specifically targeting demons and monsters.

However, if one were to cultivate a hidden family organization, similar to the Chen family in Bai'an City, one would have to consider the inability to cultivate before adulthood, as well as the probability of developing spiritual roots, and would also need to invest a large amount of spirit stones.

But there's absolutely no need to consider that here.

These heretical believers on Dabao Island were already corrupted by the Dark Thunder Heavenly Book. After the blood sacrifice, they became creatures similar to the descendants of great demons, capable of absorbing the essence of the sun and moon to cultivate. They can be freely inhabited and corrupted by true demon avatars without needing to consider spiritual root aptitude or undergo pre-adolescent training, thus greatly increasing their efficiency.

As for forces targeting demons and monsters, they do not exist here at all.

The loss of demon blood is also not being considered.

Before becoming evil gods, low-level cultists are not only not accepted by gods or humans, but also by other cults. They have nowhere to go, so their demonic blood will not be easily lost.

There's not even a moral consideration involved.

None of the heretics are innocent, and Li Mo feels no remorse for any of the heretics ambushed by the True Demon's clone.

This way.

Li Mo, who had originally planned to leave after obtaining the Dark Thunder Heavenly Book, couldn't help but have some other ideas.

Although there are no spiritual veins here, thanks to the spiritual energy gathered by the Composite Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Array and the Misty Spirit Eye Array, his spirit stones are abundant, so he doesn't need to worry about cultivation for the time being.

With his talent, the ten years of arduous cultivation he had undergone to consolidate his abilities, and the increased power he gained after sacrificing to the Wu clan, if he were to cultivate in seclusion for another ten years or so, he could reach the peak of the early Golden Core stage without having to worry about insufficient comprehension of the Dao.

With these ten years or so, the true demon clone will have enough time to reap two rounds of harvests here!
Even if he cannot break through to the late stage of Golden Core, he will still improve his power considerably, laying a good foundation for future advancement.

More than ten years later.

Because the cultists on Treasure Island are unable to reproduce, their lifespans will eventually be too short, and the lower-ranking cultists will die of old age, causing the population to decline rapidly and making it difficult for them to pose a threat to the nearby human race.

"It's only been a little over ten years, it'll be over soon."

Li Mo muttered to himself, as if trying to comfort himself.

……

Li Mo's plan was good, but things changed faster than planned.

As Li Mo's main body began to set up formations and cultivate diligently on Refining Soul Mountain, his true demon clone was busy every day on Great Treasure Island.

Through the Dark Thunder Heavenly Book, he peacefully evolved the Thunder Origin Sect and established the Primitive Sect.

during this process.

The true demon avatar inevitably carried out a bloody suppression of many opponents, plundered the scattered relics of the Thunder Yuan Sect, promulgated new doctrines, and preached the new teachings to the remaining inhabitants of Xiaozhen Island, Coral Island, and Rainbow Shell Island, indicating that it would no longer carry out blood sacrifices.

About half a year later.

The Primitive Evil God Cult has finally gotten back on track.

Just as the true demon clone was preparing to spread corruption and parasitize the primordial demon blood into the bodies of the highly qualified cult followers he had secretly selected, Zhu Wunian from Xiaozhen Island unexpectedly came again.

He specifically requested to see Li Mo.

"Zhu Wunian?"

The true demon clone was puzzled. It had clearly released the other party half a year ago, so why was this guy still bothering it?

Zhu Wunian still only wore a grass skirt around her waist.

He was heartbroken when he saw Li Mo.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I went to Rainbow Shell Island a few days ago and learned that Fellow Daoist Zhang was captured by the slave-hunting group during the last war!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the true demon clone frowned.

Then, as if he had realized something, he suddenly let out a soft hum and looked into the distance outside the main hall.

“Fellow Daoist Golden Tortoise, if you wish to see me, why be so secretive? I have surely already informed you of our sect’s doctrines!”

"Hehehehe."

The water rippled in the air, and a sprightly old man with white eyebrows appeared.

He was wearing a golden tortoise shell.

The Golden Turtle Master revealed a gentle smile, indicating that he had no ill intentions, but his eyes were solemn as he looked at the True Demon Avatar.

"What a powerful statement, 'If I don't go to hell, who will?' It's truly a wake-up call. I never expected Fellow Daoist Li's divine sense to be so strong. Please forgive me for coming uninvited to witness your deeds after hearing about them." Zhu Wunian was speechless.

He never expected that the Golden Turtle Master would secretly follow him here.

After gesturing for the tense believers to leave, the demon avatar took out two prayer mats and placed them in front of him, indicating that Zhu Wunian and the Golden Turtle Master should have a heart-to-heart talk there.

Zhu Wunian did not hesitate for long and immediately sat down in front of Li Mo.

After pausing for a while, the Golden Turtle Master sat down on another futon.

The gray-white eyes of the true demon clone looked at the Golden Tortoise Master.

This person was able to advance to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm in such a harsh environment, and was even a master of formations. His talent was probably no less than that of his master, Lu Qi.

It may even need to be much higher.

I wonder how many people like them are hiding in various places in this vast sea.

If we return to the Great Qian Dynasty in the future and resolve the matter of the King of Assassins, we might consider bringing these outstanding individuals to the Great Qian Dynasty.

Whether it's as a disciple of Lingmu, a member of his faction, or someone who owes him a favor, he will benefit immensely.

After all, if these people could reach the resource-rich Middle-earth, and were free from the external threats of hiding and fleeing, their strength would undoubtedly increase dramatically in a short period of time.

"Fellow Daoist Golden Turtle was able to comprehend the Dao here, grasp the Heavenly Gang Water Thunder Divine Power, and advance to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. I admire you."

The true demon's clone sighed.

"If there were more geniuses like Fellow Daoist Golden Turtle in the outer seas, there would be hope for us humans to end this dark and gloomy life of hiding."

"Many extraterrestrial gods in the deep sea possess this thunder as their innate supernatural power. My understanding of the Heavenly Gang Water Thunder is truly insignificant."

After a soft chuckle, the Golden Turtle Master's expression gradually became serious.

"As far as I know, while our human race in the seas of the Lost Continent is no match for the gods, there are quite a few beings whose cultivation far surpasses mine. Not to mention, even near the Thousand Treasures Islands, there are rumors of a great immortal from overseas, a Nascent Soul cultivator who wanders the outer seas year-round. Similar rumors circulate in other seas to varying degrees. There are even rumors that if one could leave the Lost Continent region and travel to another, more expansive continent, it would be the human race's domain, with countless Nascent Soul cultivators, and demons and gods having almost no place to stand..."

The Golden Turtle Master spoke at length, his words filled with longing for the main continent.

After hearing that the other party had done extensive research on this topic, Li Mo couldn't help but ask them some questions.

"Then how do we get to the main continent?"

"This is the outer sea area of ​​the Thousand Treasures Islands. The first step is to go to Xuanwu Island, where the deity in charge is called Xuanwu Trident God, a great demon king in human form. Therefore, Xuanwu Island is the center of dozens of surrounding islands, and you must obtain the deity's identity token here. Then you must go to the main island of Thousand Treasures, where there is a teleportation array leading to the Lost Continent. Otherwise, you will have to cross another archipelago to reach the Lost Continent, which is fraught with danger. Finally, you must leave the Lost Continent and cross the Forbidden Sea. It is said that this sea has many taboos, and it is full of spatial rifts, making it impossible to fly..."

that's it.

The True Demon Avatar and the Golden Turtle Master sat down for a long talk, while Zhu Wunian listened with rapt attention, and Li Mo also benefited greatly from it.

"I have one last question: Was Zhang Xiuning really captured by the so-called slave-catching group?"

"Absolutely true!"

Master Jin Gui said with certainty.

"When I lured Venerable Lei Yun into the formation, I intended to kill him in one fell swoop, but he was rescued by a pair of black cat demons in the early stage of transformation, causing all my plans to fail. Because they outnumbered me, I was unable to leave the formation to pursue them and could only watch them leave. On that giant ship full of demon cats, I personally witnessed Zhang Xiu Ning being bound by the Sea Tower Stone Shackles and being captured by those demon cats."

The true demon clone remained silent for a long time, its gray-white eyes revealing a thoughtful expression.

Although he didn't have much affection for the female cultivator with whom he had shared intimate moments, he couldn't bear to do nothing after learning that she was imprisoned.

Furthermore.

He has now advanced to the Golden Core stage and has quite a lot of spirit stones on him. He continues to buy materials for refining weapons, puppets, and formations to improve his strength. Xuanwu Island is the only large market town in the nearby sea area.

Cultivating one's true form also requires purchasing some spiritual herbs to neutralize the brutal aura of the demon cores and make use of them.

It would be good to take a trip to Xuanwu Island!
He knew nothing about the divine environment here. He would use his identity as an evil god to obtain the so-called divine token, which shouldn't take too much time.

After all, according to Master Jin Gui, if one wants to leave the Lost Continent and go to the Eastern Ridge on the other side of the Forbidden Sea, one must first obtain a legal identity on Xuanwu Island.

"Since this concerns Fellow Daoist Zhang, I must go to Xuanwu Island to find out the origins of those two black cat spirits."

Upon hearing this, the Golden Turtle Master's face lit up with joy.

He asked impatiently, "I suppose you haven't obtained the Evil God's Token yet?"

"I wonder if you have any advice?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Golden Turtle licked his lips.

"To be honest, Fellow Daoist Li, I have longed for the main continent for a long time and have been researching for this for sixty years. I have finally come up with a relatively feasible plan, as I just mentioned. The first step is to obtain the Evil God's waist token. I have researched a special secret technique for this purpose, which can use the power of evil spirits to temporarily allow the outer shell to absorb evil power and disguise itself as an evil god. Originally, I planned to find a way to eliminate Venerable Lei Yuan in one fell swoop and then forcibly seize his Dark Thunder Heavenly Book, but unfortunately, I failed at the last minute."

Master Jin Gui paused for a moment, sighed slightly, and then showed a hopeful expression.

"Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Li has maintained his human heart. Fellow Daoist only needs to use that Dark Thunder Heavenly Book to release a little bit of evil energy on Xuanwu Island, so that my outer shell is tainted with evil energy, and lead me to pass the review as a subordinate god. I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

For Li Mo, this was just a trivial matter.

When he heard the other party mention a generous reward, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to be deep in thought.

"How about this? I don't need your promise of a generous reward. All I need is that water-thunder fan as payment after the deed is done. What do you say?"

"This……"

After a brief hesitation, Jin Gui Shangren thought of his long-term plan, and his gaze finally became extremely firm.

"make a deal!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mo couldn't help but laugh.

If he doesn't ask for an exorbitant amount, the other party probably won't feel at ease.

If the other party is truly willing to give up that enlightenment treasure in exchange for a chance to escape from here, it can also prove their firm resolve.

If his escape fails, and after I have achieved some success in my cultivation and solved the problem of the King of Assassins, I might consider using that ancient teleportation array to take him to the Great Qian Kingdom and develop him into my own force.
