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

Chapter 668 The Xuan Tao's Backlash and the Fierce Demonic Tribulation, the Golden Core Forged into a Ferocious Beast Tide (6000-word long chapter)
"It's not that simple." Accompanied by a monkey's howl, the golden monkey figure landed and leaned against an ancient tree.

The robust Golden-Eyed Ape King, with his bulging muscles, held a spirit peach in his hand, spitting out juice as he ate it.

His eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he wanted to see through the situation within the magical barrier. "Our demon race is nourished by bloodline, forging a strong and resilient physical body that far surpasses that of human cultivators."

Every gain has its loss; aside from a few special bloodlines, their spiritual strength is not as good as that of cultivators of the same level.

This inner demon tribulation is not easy to overcome!

"The Golden Armored Lion was handpicked by you, Old Monkey. Why are you so lacking in confidence at the last minute?" Deer Demon chuckled.

"It's not that I lack the willpower, but rather that I never expected this golden-armored lion to actually come this far." The Golden-Eyed Ape King shook his head slightly.

In the perilous Sudu Mountain, he had seen at least dozens of demonic beasts that had awakened their ancestral bloodlines.

The weak can barely reach the second tier, while the strong, like the Water Toad, can fight against a near-third-tier demon king.

Those who are even stronger will condense a demon core, becoming a regional overlord and receiving offerings from a multitude of demons.

Even so, for more than two hundred years, there has been no news of demons attempting to break through to the Golden Core stage at Sudu Mountain.

It's not that they can't, but that they're unwilling!

The inner demon tribulation was too dangerous, and even with their bloodlines reverting to their ancestral form, demon kings like Luo Yu and the Golden-Eyed Ape King were unwilling to take the risk.

If it fails, let alone condensing the golden elixir, even the true elixir may not be preserved.

"In the last hundred years, Luo Yu awakened his bloodline, advancing from the Azure Cloud Crane to the Azure Sky Cloud Crane. Before that, it was my era," the Golden-Eyed Ape King said disdainfully.

Sudu Mountain is an extremely dangerous battlefield between humans and demons.

Even if a weakling manages to advance to the third-tier demon king, they will still be targeted by the Ancient City True Man and even their own kind.

Like the Crimson-Tailed Scorpion King, relying on third-tier spiritual poison, it has few trump cards. Once its methods are exposed, it can be easily captured.

He ultimately died easily, which benefited the human healer Fang Yi.

Lu Xiaozi pondered for a moment but did not refute. "That's true. Old monkey, your Spirit Stone Monkey bloodline is also top-grade among those of the same level."

If one is not seeking stability and taking a gamble, one is also qualified to attempt to reach the Golden Core rank.

Let's see how this golden-armored lion fares. If it can advance to the Golden Core stage, it will greatly benefit the demon race of Sudu Mountain.

"Golden Core?" The Golden-Eyed Ape King shook his head; there was no need to dwell on the past.

The Golden Elixir is of extremely high quality and has a vast path to enlightenment, but the Golden Armor Lion does not have a high opinion of it.

At most, it can condense into a true elixir, which is just right for him to use to expand the spiritual land occupied by the Rotten Peach Mountain ape clan.

"The tribulation of inner demons has begun!"

Two sharp gazes fell simultaneously, and they saw a cold, hazy aura enveloping the cave.

The two demon kings exchanged a glance, both seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.

The old and experienced demon, Deer Demon, was also filled with solemnity upon seeing such a fierce inner demon tribulation.

"The Tribulation of Being Bewitched by the Seven Emotions?"

Not every demon clan prodigy attempting to break through to the Golden Core stage can trigger this top-tier inner demon tribulation to test their Dao heart.

"With this level of inner demonic tribulation, the matter of condensing the Golden Armor and forming the Core will be difficult to resolve."

"Oh no!" The Golden-Eyed Ape King's eyes widened in disbelief. "With the foundation of the Golden Armor, even if he were to break through to the Golden Core stage, he shouldn't have triggered such a top-tier inner demon tribulation!"
Not every top-tier demon among the various demon emperor bloodlines in the Ten Thousand Mountains can trigger a mental demon tribulation of this level.
"Is the Golden Armor's luck really that bad?"

He inwardly cried out in alarm.

Under the influence of the Seven Emotions, let alone condensing a golden elixir, even maintaining the quality of a true elixir is extremely difficult.

He schemed and plotted to support the Golden-Armored Lion, which offended the Deer Demon.

Is it possible that all the investment will be wasted and turn into nothing?

Inside the cave, spiritual energy condensed into tiny water droplets, which floated in the air like mist.

"Roar!"

The majestic roar of the lion continued, and spiritual energy was constantly drawn out, turning into a vortex that poured in.

The gilded flames flickered, the spiritual pool churned, and the agile golden-armored lion's aura continued to rise.

"Tick!"

As the first drop of demonic power condensed, the golden-armored lion curled up into a ball, its limbs transformed into hands and feet, its fur shed, and its majestic lion head gradually transformed into clear human features.

Gu Jiushang stretched his waist, his figure tall and slender, his appearance handsome and full of vigor.

"Finally, I've turned back into human form!"

His face was filled with excitement as he felt the powerful magic in his meridians, and the precious pill in his dantian was covered with Taotie spiritual patterns.

"Hehehe!" A sinister laugh, accompanied by numerous demonic shadows, disturbed Gu Jiushang's mind and echoed within his soul.

"The tribulation of inner demons?!"
"Oh no! The backlash from the [Mysterious Gluttony Hundred-Day Banquet] has arrived!"

Gu Jiushang's expression was solemn, with golden flames flickering in his eyes, suppressing his mental confusion.

He used the forbidden evil technique of the Spirit Chefs, the "Mysterious Gluttony Hundred-Day Banquet," to repair his damaged foundation, and his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

But evil magic is still evil magic; it takes a risky approach and will have serious consequences.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Give me back my life!"

"Cannibalism among their own kind leads to demonic possession, yet they still dare to dream of forming a golden core!"

"Let's die together!"

"Roar!"

After cultivating for over a hundred years, the human and demon cultivators who were cooked and eaten by Gu Jiushang now harbor resentment due to their inner demon tribulations.

A half-demon from Nanli Kingdom, a human at the Foundation Establishment stage in Qingzhufang City, and various faction spies who mysteriously died on Heiyuan Island.
Several young children appeared, the children were fair and chubby, but blood was flowing from their seven orifices.

The eerie nursery rhyme echoed through the cave.

The gluttonous beast planted a tree of bones and flesh, and cooked blood and gore in its cauldron.
Of the six domestic animals and five sacrificial animals, humans are the most important; the soul in the longevity wine is especially foul.
A fierce aura emanated from the creature, and a phantom of a ferocious beast with a human face and a sheep's body appeared, its eyes bloodshot, as it opened its mouth and swallowed the children one by one.

[Xuan Tao Hundred-Day Banquet] The evil magic backfired, and with the help of the inner demon tribulation, the phantom of Taotie pounced on Gu Jiushang's soul.

They wanted to transform him into a ferocious beast with only the lingering desire for food.

Gu Jiushang's face was ugly, and he wanted to resist, but the [Xuan Tao Hundred Days Banquet] had already penetrated his bones and he was no different from anyone else.

The backlash is even more terrifying and troublesome than the tribulations of inner demons.

His surging divine sense activated the secret technique, yet not a single ripple was stirred.

Seeing Gu Jiushang's ferocious face, the veins on his forehead bulging, and the raging lust in his eyes, his wild nature was unleashed.

"Wow!"

A handful of silver spiritual liquid emerged and flowed gently, transforming into a canopy that hung down with a sense of tranquility, temporarily suppressing the backlash of beastly desires.

The three Core Formation items obtained by Gu Jiushang—the Crimson Light Marrow Cleansing Mushroom, the Mysterious Gold Bone Forging Pearl, and the Soul Cleansing Liquid—correspond to the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, respectively.

The Crimson Light Cleansing Marrow Ganoderma and the Mysterious Gold Bone Forging Pearl have long been refined into the flesh, blood, spirit, and soul, nourishing the body and strengthening the blood essence.

The remaining Soul Cleansing Liquid activated its medicinal properties, allowing Gu Jiushang's eyes to regain a sliver of clarity.

"In the end, it fell short by one step. Success was a matter of profound mystery, and failure was also a matter of profound mystery."
No wonder this culinary secret art has been passed down for over a thousand years in the Great Cloud Immortal Cultivation World, yet not a single Core Formation True Person has emerged from it.

With the help of three Core Formation spiritual items and the complete refinement of the third-tier mid-grade Golden Armor Lion bloodline, even this tribulation is so terrifying and difficult to overcome.

Ordinary cultivators, once they step into the tribulation of inner demons, will turn into gluttonous beasts with only the urge to eat.

Gu Jiu was heartbroken and helpless. Fang Yi's previous guidance had already deliberately tempered her soul and refined her Dao heart.

He was not afraid of ordinary inner demons.

However, the backlash from the [Mysterious Gluttony Hundred-Day Banquet], aided by the top-tier inner demon tribulation, is beyond what a Core Formation seed can handle.

"It's a pity I've failed to live up to your support, Master. Despite all my planning, I ultimately fell short."

"Boom!"

A wooden hairpin in his hair broke, and the power of his soul gathered, condensing into a handsome humanoid phantom.

Gu Jiushang did not hesitate at all.

"Sir, please help me!"

Fang Yi was unclear about the backlash from the [Xuan Tao Hundred-Day Banquet], but he had plenty of experience in helping the puppet reach the third rank.

"Whoosh!" The handsome face of the humanoid phantom became clearer and clearer, and in just a few breaths, it already bore a seven-tenths resemblance to Fang Yi.

If it is the human or demon race undergoing the tribulation of inner demons, it is difficult for others to intervene. Once they do, it is very easy to cause the inner demons to go out of control, and the power of the tribulation will surge.

But Gu Jiushang was different.

Rather than being a human cultivator or a demon, his most fundamental identity is that of a human puppet.

The puppet has an owner!

The inner demons within his soul evolved, with greed, gluttony, and a lust for killing constantly surging in. Gu Jiushang's face became ferocious, and his soul felt like it was about to break apart.

"Oh!"

The handsome, blurry soul's five fingers fell, the power of the soul surged, and runes flowed, evolving into the secret technique of puppetry.

Human Puppet Secret Technique: Abstinence

Human Puppet Secret Technique: Destroying Gods

Suddenly, the illusory image exploded, and the dark, cold light and the mysterious crystal light derived from the two secret techniques merged together, transforming into a cold, ancient mechanical light.

The Secret Technique of Stacking, the Puppet Path: Heartless Heart!
Originally a secret technique to manipulate the soul of a puppet and erase its consciousness, Fang Yi altered its purpose, leaving Gu Jiushang's eyes cold and devoid of any desire.

He had no appetite, no animalistic desires, no murderous intent, and no lust.
"The golden armor is finished!"

Beside the ancient tree, the Golden-Eyed Ape King swallowed the spirit peach in his hand and spat out a peach pit.

His eyes shone brightly as he sensed the constantly falling demonic energy within the spiritual pool of the cave.

"Unfortunately, my lineage of the demon race of Sudu Mountain is the demon beast that has come closest to the Golden Core rank in the last hundred years."

Now that his inner demons are backfiring, he may not even be able to save his life.

The Golden-Eyed Ape King, with its limbs sprawled out and knees slightly bent, leaped out of the ancient forest and transformed into a golden swan, fleeing continuously.

The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more.

"Lord Xiao, I still have matters to attend to at Rotten Peach Mountain. I'll trouble you with cleaning the cave and collecting the corpse of the Golden Armored One."

The moss beneath its four hooves was withered and yellow. The deer-like creature sensed the waning life force in its cave, like a candle flickering in the wind, and its face showed regret.

To be fair, even knowing that there was something fishy about the Four-Clawed Wolf's demise, he still had some admiration for Gu Jiushang.

The demon race is inherently a dog-eat-dog world, and Gu Jiushang's ability to ambush the Four-Clawed Wolf is a testament to his exceptional skill.

"Unfortunately, he was unlucky and encountered the Tribulation of the Seven Emotions when he was forming his core."

"The seven emotions cloud the mind; in the past thousand years, I have only heard of one ten-thousand-year-old tortoise from the Xuan Turtle lineage who survived this calamity after cultivating for five hundred years."

Sensing that the life force in the cave was about to die out, the deer-like creature lightly trotted its four hooves, and the power of the green wood merged into the earth.

"Boom!" Twelve wooden puppets, formed from intertwined ancient vines and covered in moss and ferns, emerged from the ground.

He commanded, “Collect all the remaining flesh and blood from the golden armor.”

Even if the core formation fails after consuming three portions of the Core Formation Elixir, the remaining medicinal power will be enough to nurture a batch of first-tier demonic beasts and advance them to the second tier.

"boom!"

Deer Demon's expression changed slightly. He abruptly turned his head and muttered, "The tribulation of the inner demon has passed?!"

"what?"

The golden light that was about to disappear into the sky suddenly stopped, turned around abruptly, and landed outside the cave again at a speed several times faster than when it left.

"As expected of the junior I have chosen, he is exceptionally talented and has a firm Dao heart. He can overcome the Seven Emotions and the Tribulation of Bewitching the Gods as if walking on flat ground."

The Golden Elixir is within reach!

The Golden-Eyed Ape King praised it aloud, but inwardly he thought it was sinister.

Gu Jiushang was clearly on the verge of death, yet he was able to come back to life and overcome his inner demons.
"Boom!" Dark clouds gathered for hundreds of miles, purple lightning snakes darted through them, and a massive tribulation of thunder converged.

"I've passed the tribulation of lightning, but the tribulation of inner demons." Lu Xiaozi's eyes gleamed. This old monster, who had cultivated for over seven hundred years, was plotting something.

Boom! A bolt of purple lightning struck!

"Roar!" Accompanied by a fierce roar, two majestic and merciless eyes appeared, watching the thunder crashing down.

A dazzling display of golden light erupted as a lion's paw, covered in golden fur, slammed down towards the lightning tribulation. "Bang!"

As the lightning dissipated, the lion's claws turned charred black. Demonic power flowed, and flesh and blood regenerated. In the blink of an eye, the lion's claws regained their brilliant color.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As bolts of lightning struck, the golden lion's claws either slapped or suppressed them, shattering each bolt of lightning.

19.
twenty-nine
Sanjiu!

"Clang!" As a beast-headed kitchen knife slashed through the air, the final bolt of lightning struck down, unleashing a surge of demonic energy.

The majestic aura reverberated for miles around, and the ancient forest fell silent. The demonic beasts that had been drawn there all prostrated themselves on the ground in respect.

A smile appeared on Lu Xiaozi's face, his aura gentle, and the twelve wooden puppets quickly dispersed and turned into dust.

A Golden Core Demon King is enough for him to befriend.

Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Golden Armor!
After over a hundred years of cultivation, he has finally condensed his Golden Core; from this point forward, his future is limitless, and the prospect of reaching the Nascent Soul stage is within reach!

Gu Jiushang leaped up from the dried-up spirit pool, his golden sideburns ruffling, looking majestic.

Feeling the resilience of his body, and the golden-gray core slowly rotating in his dantian, he couldn't contain his emotions.

"Through countless trials and tribulations, the golden elixir is finally condensed."

"Finally, the Golden Core has been formed!"

In the ancient city of Dadu, thousands of miles away, in the Xuanzhen Garden, Fang Yi smiled, following a premonition.

"Even with the help of the engraved puppet technique, Senior Brother Gu's ability to take this step shows that his Dao heart and spirit have grown considerably within the demon race."

He activated the Plum Blossom Divination Technique, and a mysterious aura surrounded him, with the phantom image of a six-pointed plum blossom appearing in his eyes.

As a second-tier high-grade diviner, Fang Yi had an extremely close relationship with Gu Jiushang. Without anyone to hide it from, he did a little divination and was able to calculate the quality of the human puppet pill that Gu Jiushang had painstakingly refined.

"A second-grade Golden Core?"

Fang Yi seemed to be deep in thought. Although he controlled Gu Jiushang's soul and body and manipulated the puppet, he was still in a state of deep thought.

However, the help provided by the puppet technique "Heartless Heart" ultimately resulted in taking a shortcut and lacking proper refinement, leading to a lower-grade pill.

"If Senior Brother Gu isn't cultivating the [Mysterious Gluttony Hundred-Day Banquet]..."

He shook his head slightly. "If it weren't for the [Xuan Tao Hundred-Day Banquet], Jiu Shang would have already been devoured by the demon blood, making even Foundation Establishment extremely difficult."

Not to mention condensing the golden elixir.

There are gains and losses, no need to worry about it.

Fang Yi's gaze was intense, as if he could see through the magical barriers and look at the surging demonic beasts thousands of miles away, which transformed into a tidal wave and rushed towards the ancient city.

"The great beast tide is coming; then we'll see who has the superior skills."

"The three villains of the Chen family, the demon race, and various factions in the ancient city."

One month later.

"Woo~"

"Woo~"

As the majestic horn sounded, the south gate of the ancient city of Dadu was covered with magical restrictions, and many cultivators on the city wall stood ready for battle.

Qin Yu, dressed in a green robe, with a solemn expression, carefully instructed his two junior brothers beside him.

"Nephew Huo, Junior Brother Li, times have changed. Do not be careless."

Holding the Xuanjin Three-Sided Blade, Huo Zhao watched as the demonic power surged like a tide, gathering into a dark cloud that obscured the sun.

His eyes gleamed. "Master is right, the demon race is going to fight to the death."

Li Heng held the Vast Ocean Pearl in his hand and sighed, "One wave subsides only for another to rise; the matter of the demonic artifacts is still unresolved."

For some reason, this demon race acted without any restraint.

"coming!"

Whether it was the Biyue Pavilion, Xuanyang Mountain, or the disciples of the Hehuan Sect and the White Bone Sect, their divine senses surged.

Streams of divine thoughts descended upon the beast tide outside the city walls.

"Roar!"

The robust Earth Scale Elephant, clad in heavy armor, emanates a flowing, earthy spiritual light that transforms into Earth Armor Technique.

The ground trembled slightly, and the twelve earth-scaled elephants connected their energy, retracing their bloodlines in groups of six, their brown spiritual light intertwined.

A phantom image of a ten-zhang-tall Wujia elephant is depicted.

The giant elephant swung its trunk and pounded its four pillar-like hooves, exuding the aura of a near-third-tier minor demon king.

"boom!"

As the long nose fell, the city walls trembled, and the legal restrictions crumbled layer by layer.

Only when the Wuyang Ancient Formation was activated, and brown spiritual light flowed, adding the spiritual light of Wu Earth to the ancient city wall, did the swaying city wall become as still as a mountain.

Amidst the demonic tide, the endless demonic clouds transformed into an ancient and simple altar, facing the ancient city's immortal from afar.

The Deer Demon, the Golden-Eyed Ape King, the Azure Crane, the Crimson Fire Serpent, and the Subdued Jade Elephant each occupy a corner.

Gu Jiushang was among them, feeling that every move he made could be made using the Dharma Platform to mobilize the surging power of the demonic tide.

He gazed at the monstrous beasts below the altar, which resembled ants, and felt a surge of pride.

We've finally reached this point!
Once the elixir is formed, there is no equal in status.

He, who once led the demon cultivators in battle, also stood high on the Dharma platform, commanding the demons.

From then on, she was no longer a chess piece, but one of the players making moves on the chessboard of humans and demons in Sudu Mountain.

Inside the Cloud-Lying Platform, five cloud beds surround the area, with masters from various sects sitting around them.

Master Yuzhu narrowed his phoenix eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping over Yan Youtai, Master Hulei, Fang Yi, and Master Jiuqu.

It paused briefly on the white-haired Qing Guanzi before finally landing on the robust cultivator on the black cloud bed.

Hearing the news of the Core Formation True Person Wen Rui, a cultivator from the White Bone Sect who came to Sudu Mountain.

She struck first. "Wen Rui, your White Bone Sect has taken enormous benefits from the Heavenly Blade Dock."

With its share of spiritual fields, mines, and top-tier shops and cave dwellings, it's impossible for them to stand idly by now that a beast tide is approaching.

The time has come to put in the effort!

Wen Rui smiled but did not refute. He waved his hand and cast a spell, which transformed into a skull and sped away.

The benefits shared by the White Bone Sect were so great that they alarmed the sect's inner strength. He came here to fully absorb the benefits he had already gained.

Therefore, they would not easily offend the cultivators of the ancient city.

"Jie! Jie! Jie!"

On the south city wall of Dadu Ancient City, a hoarse voice rang out from the mouth of a skull shrouded in eerie energy.

"Decree from the Immortal: The Seven Fiends of White Bones shall join forces to stop the demon race from attacking the city."

"This disciple will humbly obey the True Man's decree!"

The seven gaunt Foundation Establishment cultivators of the White Bone Sect exchanged glances.

Having benefited from the Heavenly Blade Dock, the seven of them also received a share of the profits, and now that the beast tide was approaching, they naturally had to contribute.

"disease!"

The seven Foundation Establishment cultivators, all with white hair and beards, were lean and wiry, their energy interconnected. They simultaneously summoned a white bone demon puppet, which was filled with yin energy and raging white flames.

The seven skeletal demon puppets stacked on top of each other, their aura continuously rising.

In the blink of an eye, he stepped into the peak of the second tier. His pale, yin bones appeared and intertwined. After a slight pause, he broke through again, evolving into a near-third-tier white bone demon puppet.

[White Bone Demon God Technique] Inheritance: Mighty Demon God!

"boom!"

The Mighty Demon God's hand was covered in grotesque bone spikes and barbs. With two punches, he blocked the illusory image of the Wu Jia Elephant, which was emitting a near-third-order aura.

Seeing this, Jade Pearl Zhenren frowned slightly. She had not found any fault with her, and she was now alone and powerless, so she could not make a move.

Her eyes gleamed, and after a moment's hesitation, she spoke to the graceful Qing Guanzi.

"The demons of Sudu Mountain unleashed their most powerful battle formations. This battle between humans and demons will determine the fate of the ancient city for the next hundred years."

"My sister's Hehuan Sect's Divided Heavenly Blade has brought her considerable benefits; she should also contribute to guarding the ancient city."

Qing Guanzi's eyes sparkled as he saw Fang Yi, Yan Youtai, Hu Lei Zhenren, and other former allies looking completely at ease.

She was dissatisfied, but she knew she had no choice but to take action.

"Hurry!" The pink light split into three and fell into the brothels and pleasure quarters of the ancient city.

"Ding!"

"Jingle Bell!"

"jingle!"

Among the three famous towers in the ancient city, Shuyuxuan, Lanyuetai, and Suochunfang each have a graceful female cultivator who walks lightly out of the brothels.

In a pink gauze dress, Xu Shuyu, with her delicate and fruitful bearing; in a long blue-green dress, Yao Zhenshu, charming and lovely; in a purple vest, Zhao Hongxue, with skin so smooth it could be broken with a touch.

The three female cultivators from the Joyful Union Sect joined forces, each possessing a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level. They each summoned a Six Desires Bewitching Bell.

"Jingle Bell!"

The soft, melodious music echoed, and pink spiritual light flowed, blocking the illusory image of a near-third-tier Wu Jia elephant.

On the demon race's altar.

Fubo Xiangzun curled his long trunk and looked at the other demon kings. "My people have used all their trump cards. Now it's time for you all to make your move."

After pondering for a moment, Lu Xiaozi spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Chilian, I would like to trouble your Crimson Ring Serpent to make a move and see if it can find a flaw."
Although we possess the Great City Formation Diagram, we are still missing something crucial.

The Crimson Fire Serpent flicked its long red tongue, and after a moment, it coiled into a snake formation, its scales gleaming with firelight.

"hiss!"

The ground cracked open, revealing nine second-tier red-ringed serpents with ferocious triangular heads, their sharp fangs gleaming coldly as they spewed venom.

With the enhancement of demonic energy, the venom transformed into rolling crimson demonic clouds.

"Tick! Tick!"

"Crack!"

As the poisonous rain fell, a foul stench soon filled the ancient city. Dozens of Qi Refining cultivators, poisoned and with their faces turning ashen, collapsed.

"The demon race is determined to fight the ancient city!"

Inside the Cloud-Lying Platform, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Master Jiuqu had already realized that this beast tide was different from the previous ones.

Demon Clan Battle Formation, Poisonous Minor Divine Power.
The demon race has unleashed its hidden strength, ready to fight the ancient city to the death.

Master Jiuqu spoke earnestly. "Fellow Daoists, let's set aside our internal grudges for now and not join forces again."

"With the ancient city destroyed, all the abundant spiritual fields, mines, shops, and cave dwellings will fall into the hands of the demon race."

Master Yuzhu looked gloomily at Xuanyang Mountain.

"I am willing to cooperate, but I don't know if Xuan Yang Mountain is sincere in doing so."

After all, the scene of Xuan Yang Mountain disciples besieging and killing Foundation Establishment cultivators from Tian Dao Dock a year ago was still vivid in their minds.

"Master Fang's three disciples are all deeply rooted in their cultivation, and they show no mercy when killing their fellow cultivators."

Master Jiuqu frowned slightly, his gaze falling. "Is Sect Leader Fang willing to step back?"

"As the leader of the righteous sects of Dayun, Xuanyang Mountain has an unshirkable responsibility to contribute to the ancient city."

Fang Yi readily agreed; at this point, he couldn't let the big fish get away.

With a light tap of his fingertip, a communication jade talisman flew out, transforming into a soaring crane.

After counting the interest.

Azure lotus flags fluttered in the clear water, and the fragrance of medicine wafted through the air. Qin Yu held a medicine cauldron in his hand, his incantations constantly changing.

A verdant, ethereal light rose, transforming into a canopy to shield the poisonous rain.
