Gou Dao Changsheng: Starting from the Reincarnation of a Demon Cultivator

Chapter 632 Blood Bead Acquired, Three True Ones Pursue Chen
Three days later.

Dozens of miles south of Dadu Ancient City lies a rocky cliff, devoid of any spiritual energy, and rarely visited by humans.

A streak of crimson light descended, and Chen Xuan warily looked at the ancient city ten miles away, his face showing vigilance.

His divine sense swept across the steep cliff over a hundred feet high, finally landing on a yellow rock about ten feet high, covered with moss.

“Fellow Daoist Kuhun, I am sincere, why should I hide and be evasive?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xuan showed his displeasure and unleashed a crimson sword from his sleeve.

"Buzz!" A pair of fair hands, shrouded in corpse energy, emerged from behind the yellow rock. With a light pinch of the five fingers, cracks appeared instantly, and the sword blade was crushed into dozens of fragments.

"Don't embarrass yourself by taking out a top-grade magic weapon." Fang Yi, dressed in a black robe with fine lines around his eyebrows, stepped out slowly, leaning on a wooden cane.

"Beast Demon, I have not been hiding or dodging."

'This old monster's corpse-refining cultivation has increased again.' Chen Xuan frowned, extremely wary of Fang Yi, who resembled an old man.

The Chen family has a deep foundation, but this old monster is very strange. In their several encounters, the Chen family has not gained the upper hand.

Chen Xuan went straight to the point without any pretense.

"Fellow Daoist's actions are rather unethical. You made an appointment with us regarding the Great Magnanimity Ancient City, yet you have repeatedly broken your promise!"

"Is the array diagram genuine? And are the benefits you received real?"

Fang Yi felt a chill in his heart. Fishing requires bait. The Chen family had two hidden Core Formation cultivators: one was in the mid-stage of Core Formation and possessed a damaged high-grade magic weapon, while the other had condensed a Golden Core.

If there hadn't been any interference or restraint, he would have been double-crossed long ago, and might not even have survived.

Demonic cultivators are ruthless and have no integrity whatsoever; how could Fang Yi not know this?
"Beast Demon, where is my Blood Bead?"

With a smile on his lips, Chen Xuan waved his sleeve, and three blood beads floated in the air, exuding a fragrant aroma.

The Netherfire Sword, nourished by the blood bead, has recovered somewhat, greatly boosting the Chen family's confidence. They can use this opportunity to teach the withered soul a lesson.

How can someone in the early stages of Core Formation want to take 60% of the benefits?

wishful thinking!

"How could I deceive you, fellow Daoist? The blood pearl is here, waiting for you to take it."

but"

Chen Xuan's expression changed drastically, and a chilling aura condensed into frost and snow, exuding an astonishing murderous aura.

"Withered Soul, where is the array diagram?"

He planned to give up at most one of the three blood beads in exchange for the array diagram, and keep the other two as bait.

Fang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, suppressing the restless, covetous red yin within the withered and flourishing small cave.

'Red Yin, don't be impatient, these things will be yours sooner or later.'

Under the loving soothing influence of the divine spirit, Chi Yin hugged his knees with both hands, wrapping himself up in a ball, enveloped by the scarlet corpse lotus.

Feeling the Yin energy suppress his appetite, Fang Yi was satisfied.

As a third-tier corpse king, Chi Yin naturally yearns for blood, but the fact that he can now forcefully suppress it indicates that he has been properly nurtured and has begun to suppress his innate defects.

That's precisely why we need to obtain enough Tier 3 Blood Beads.

Fang Yi's turbid gaze fell on the fist-sized blood bead floating in the air, surrounded by scarlet spiritual light.

His eyes gleamed with a sharp light as he inwardly praised him.

'Great stuff! Really great stuff!'

"The spirit is full of energy, the blood essence is pure, and most importantly, there is no resentment."

Such refined skill and exquisite technique—this is the result of the Beast Demon family's profound tradition.

This wonderful thing is mine now.

With his sleeves fluttering, Fang Yi swiftly reached out with both hands. Dozens of withered vines transformed into a giant handprint, grabbing towards the blood bead.

"How brave!"

With a flick and a turn of his five fingers, Chen Xuan conjured a cauldron filled with the souls of demonic beasts, and then slapped the beast soul cauldron out with a backhand.

"boom!"

The withered vine handprint was shattered by the beast furnace, turning into broken branches and leaves.

"Dry Soul, are you going to turn against me?!"

Chen Xuan's face was gloomy. The withered vine handprint was activated very quickly, but it was only a quasi-third-order technique, which he could easily deal with.

But this withered soul is far too lawless!
He knew the beast demon would never be peaceful and had made ample preparations, but he never expected this withered soul to forcibly snatch the blood bead.

Chen Xuan urged the crimson ribbon to speed away, rolling the three blood beads into his sleeve.

A third-tier blood bead is rare; if it were to be taken by a withered soul, the loss would be far too great.

"The opportunity has arrived!" Fang Yi's face was cold, but a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

The beast tide was blinded by the benefits it had gained. This beast demon was so arrogant that it dared to offer up the blood bead without any magical protection.

Do you really think he's a kind person?

The Secret Technique of the Wood Way: Ten Thousand Leaves Are Not Flowers!
Fang Yimu gathered his spiritual power, and the withered yellow spiritual light flowed, revealing the illusory images of withered branches and fallen leaves in brilliant purple and yellow hues, unfolding a mesmerizing and inverted scene.

"Illusion!" Chen Xuan was dazed for a moment before waking up from the illusion.

He had no time to hold back, and a dragon soul emerged from the Myriad Beasts Furnace.

"Too late!" Fang Yi's eyes grew colder, and the power of his meridians surged like a long river as he unleashed a series of spells from his fingertips.

"Crash!"

The Void Realm's Withering and Flourishing Banner was activated, its gray surface moving without wind, releasing a dense aura of yin energy.

In the battle at Sudu Mountain, Fang Yi also gained quite a few second-tier Yin Souls, and the Yin Meridians in the Withered and Flourishing Small Cave Heaven made great progress.

"Giggle!"

Ghostly figures appeared one after another, accompanied by mournful howls. Some were headless and limbless, some had their bellies ripped open, and some had eyes filled with hatred. They surged out like a tide.

The dense, wispy spirits gathered together and transformed into a ghostly figure wearing a three-yin crown, a human skin robe, and holding a white bone rosary.

"boom!"

The shadow of the demon exploded, and dark runes circulated.

Yin energy, ghost energy, and corpse energy were entangled, and a pool of blood and flesh was faintly visible on the banner.

In the mud, there was a boy in a black robe with a tender face, barefoot on a scarlet lotus, innocent and naive, holding a bronze axe.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

A childlike laugh rang out, a crimson tongue licked its lips, the laugh was eerie, black spots the size of copper coins continued to grow on its face, and two eerie green corpse teeth emerged from the corners of its mouth.

"Eat well! Eat!"

"disease!"

Fang Yi cast a spell.

A pair of gaunt yet terrifyingly large hands emerged eerily from the banner. Chilling, eerie corpse runes appeared on these hands.

The phosphorescent flame ignited, revealing a large, bluish-black hand with clearly defined knuckles. It struck Chen Xuan's head with what appeared to be a slow but actually swift motion, aiming to take his life.

"Have you gone mad, Ku Hun?!" Chen Xuan's expression changed drastically as he looked at the ancient city of Dadu, which was dozens of miles away.

This battle, regardless of the outcome, will inevitably draw out the Core Formation Realm cultivators in the ancient city of Dadu.

In the battle against the beast tide, none of the three Core Formation cultivators—Yu Zhu, Hu Lei, and Jiu Qu—were ordinary. If they were to casually attract even one of them, the other two would be in serious trouble.

"boom!"

The aura of death spread, and the rocky cliffs shattered.

With light steps, Fang Yi scooped up the three blood beads with his five fingers and quickly took out the Spirit Sealing Box to put them away.

In an instant, the fingertip technique changed again, in the blink of an eye.

Chi Yin's hands were covered in corpse patterns, his gray-white nails grew long, and he clenched his fist with his five fingers together, slightly gathering his strength before unleashing a punch.

Corpse Soul Great Handprint

"boom!!"

The corpse hand and the dragon claw collided and entangled, eventually canceling each other out.

Fang Yi's eyes and the corners of his mouth curled slightly. Having received the benefits, he didn't want to get involved any further and transformed into a streak of gray-white light to leave.

He had no intention of provoking the cultivators in the ancient city of Dadu.

Gu Jiushang infiltrated the demon race and was cultivated as one of the seeds for Core Formation, transmitting many secret messages.

The Chen family needs to repair a high-grade magic weapon with the Yin Fire attribute, and they have already paid a huge price to reach a deal with the demon race.

As long as the array diagram serves as the bait, there's no worry about the beasts and ghosts not taking the bait. Watching the withered soul disappear into the sky in the blink of an eye, Chen Xuan was unharmed, but his face was extremely distorted.

"Withered Soul!!"

A piercing roar erupted from its mouth, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

"Who is spying on me!"

Waves surged through the ancient city of Dadu. Jade Pearl Immortal, dressed in palace attire and wielding the Jade Pearl Magic Weapon, strode across the long river.

"You wretched creature, it's you?!"

Seeing the constant onslaught of true human energy, Chen Xuan reacted instantly.

"Old man, you've got a good plan!"

The fact that this withered soul chose to be so close to the ancient city of Dadu clearly indicates that it had planned this all along, intending to leave him no time to do anything else after forcibly seizing the Blood Pearl.

"What a clever scheme, what a brilliant tactic!"

He wished he could devour Fang Yi's flesh alive, but then he saw the three Core Formation Qi of the Great Expansion Ancient City rise up, stirring up the wind and clouds.

Thunder roared in the Purple Light Courtyard, yellow sand swirled in the Xuanzhen Mansion, and Bagua runes flowed in the Xuanji Tower.

Chen Xuan knew that if she didn't leave now, she wouldn't be able to leave at all.

"Wow!"

The crimson streak of light moved with lightning speed, leaving only afterimages as it frantically fled towards the horizon.

"That idiot Ku Hun! There are third-tier Celestial Masters in Dadu Ancient City. Does he really think he can escape by leaving first?!"

After more than ten breaths, amidst the surging blue waves, Jade Pearl Immortal, dressed in palace attire, was the first to land.

Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as she scanned the remaining ruins of the cliff with her divine sense.

"This aura, is it from the evil cultivator who helped the demon race that day?"
But what about the remaining portion?

"Yuzhu, have you found any clues?"

Thunder roared, and Thunderclap Master was half a step slower, but he too was filled with murderous intent, wielding his Thousand-Pound Hammer as he followed closely behind.

Then, Yan Youtai stepped on auspicious clouds and landed beside Hu Lei.

His fingertips moved in a series of hand seals, and with each breath, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.

"There are Nascent Soul cultivators fighting here, and their aura doesn't belong to the six forces including Xuan Yang Mountain, Bi Shui Pavilion, and Bai Gu Sect."

Ten breaths later.

Fang Yi wore a jade crown and a green robe, surrounded by the fragrance of medicine.

He held a small silver-white beast in his arms, with blue lotuses flowing beneath his feet and yellow sand churning as he landed beside the crowd.

"Fellow Daoist Yuzhu, Senior Brother Hulei, Senior Brother Yan, what has happened?"

Yu Zhu frowned slightly, thinking of the name of the foremost medical cultivator that was being circulated in the cultivation world today.

The prestigious Biyue Pavilion had been operating for over three hundred years, and it was all taken away by Fang Yi just like that.

But she couldn't care less about that now. As long as Fang Yi was still in Dadu Ancient City, she wouldn't have to worry about not having a chance to make her move.

But Chen Xuan reappeared, spying on the ancient city of Dadu.

It's still the South Gate!

The loss of cultivators in the previous beast tide had already caused Biyue Pavilion immense pain, especially the golden-armored lion that had targeted and killed members of Biyue Pavilion's Foundation Establishment stage.

If another beast tide were to occur...
Yu Zhu's eyes were icy cold; she would never allow it!

"disease!"

With a wave of her slender hand, an ancient mirror was raised, causing ripples to spread across the water.

"Azure Shadow Reflection Mirror?" Master Hu Lei's pupils constricted slightly as he recognized this famous mid-grade magic treasure from the Azure Water Pavilion.

Immediately, his lips moved, revealing the magic weapon to Fang Yi and Yan Youtai.

The Azure Mirror, the Trace-Seeking Pearl, is the most famous treasure in the Great Cloud for finding traces.

If even a trace of its aura is left behind, it will leave no trace within ten thousand miles.

Fang Yi understood. The green light of the Mountain and River Transformation Moon robe shone on his body, locking in his energy and magical power.

A jade pendant at Yan Youtai's waist, with its flowing divination patterns, interrupted the ripples that were about to spread.

Within three breaths, a wisp of blazing Netherfire energy was intercepted by the Azure Shadow Mirror.

Then a faint, gloomy aura appeared, but the rippling water, constantly pulling at it, could not condense the aura.

"Only obtained the aura of a Core Formation cultivator? Oh well, business is more important."

Master Yuzhu narrowed his eyes slightly, waved his hand to throw out the Netherfire Qi, and his gaze fell on Yan Youtai.

"As a third-tier Celestial Master, Fellow Daoist Yan, I hope you will intervene in this matter and capture this evil cultivator who is eyeing the ancient city."

Yan Youtai nodded slightly. Since it involved a cultivator who was spying on the ancient city of Dadu, especially a cultivator with a true core of the Fire Dao, he would not hold back.

He had not forgotten his purpose in coming here from Xuanyang Mountain.

Yan Youtai's face was solemn, and his silver light flowed as he summoned the Heavenly Secrets Eight Trigrams Plate, which was already a magic treasure.

He made hand seals, and a series of magic seals appeared, which were then injected into the disc-shaped magic treasure that was floating in the air.

As the vast magical power was poured in, the Heavenly Secrets Eight Trigrams Plate began to slowly rotate, constantly flowing along the energy of the Netherfire.

The Eight Trigrams Mark emerges:

Qian, Kun, Kan, and Li

"Gen, Dui, Zhen, Xun..."

Silver light surged endlessly, and a humanoid phantom appeared hazily on the Heavenly Secrets Eight Trigrams Plate, eventually revealing a beast furnace.

"found it!"

Yan Youtai smiled, then transformed into a streak of light and sped away. Jade Pearl Immortal and Thunderclap Immortal exchanged a glance and followed closely behind.

Fang Yi's gaze was deep and unfathomable as he held the small silver-white beast in his arms, but he did not make a move.

He murmured in his mind.

'It's a good opportunity to probe their background. If we don't investigate thoroughly, it's really hard to feel at ease knowing they're in the mid-stage of Core Formation and possess a fragment of a sect's treasure.'

Two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators and one third-tier diviner—this lineup is sufficient.

An hour later.

A streak of crimson light vanished, sweeping across mountains, rivers, and ancient forests, continuously penetrating deeper into Sudu Mountain.

As the three True Person auras drew ever closer, Chen Xuan's face turned bitter.

"When I fought with the withered soul, why did Hu Lei, Yu Zhu, and Yan Youtai all come after me?"
Could it be that the withered soul has sought refuge in the ancient city of Dadu?

Chen Xuan immediately denied it, saying that he was well aware of the damage the beast tide had caused to the various factions in Dadu Ancient City.

Such a great loss would not be accepted by Xuan Yang Mountain, Bi Shui Pavilion, or Feng Ling Immortal City, even by a Core Formation True Person.

Seeing the three streaks of light approaching again, he immediately dared not be negligent and forced out a stream of essence blood.

"puff!"

The crimson escape light turned scarlet, and the escape technique was enhanced by several times.

He felt a little aggrieved, even though he had clearly enjoyed cooperating with the withered soul and the Chen family had benefited greatly.

He was only planning to withhold some of the benefits to give Ku Hun a warning, so why did he turn on me?
One month later.

In the rotten peach grove, a jade talisman fell.

"boom!"

An explosive anger erupted. Chen Xuan's vital energy was weak, his face was gloomy, and he cursed loudly.

"Bastard!"

"This withered soul actually dares to send a telepathic message to arrange a meeting!!"

Chen Erxiang also looked grim. In order to rescue Chen Xuan and hide their home to carry out their grand plan, the Chen family was willing to pay a huge price.

Upon seeing the two-corner array diagrams attached to the transmission talisman, Chen Erxiang's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

After a while, he spoke.

"Should we see that withered soul or not?!"

"I'll see him!" Chen Xuan nearly coughed up blood, but gritted his teeth and said. "Without this withered soul, without the array diagram, how can we persuade the demon race?"

Once the clan's power is consolidated, I will surely extract his soul and refine his spirit!
