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

Chapter 712 The White Bone Demon Puppet is Completed, Xiao Yan Emerges from Seclusion
"Ok?"

Fang Yi's hand seals remained unchanged, and the phantom image of a six-pointed plum blossom appeared in his eyes, his gaze seemingly piercing through the Azure Light Five Elements Palace.

"With the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit combined, a pill embryo will emerge. Once Xiao Yan has passed the trials of the inner demon tribulation and the lightning tribulation, he will be able to condense the true pill..."

He withdrew his consciousness, showing neither joy nor sorrow.

His heart remained completely unmoved by the fact that Xiao Yan had condensed his core and now had another Wood Dao True Person to contend with.

"A True Immortal, possessing the superior-grade magic treasure, the Jade Blood Bodhi Branch Embryo..."

My publicly known cards are weak.

Fang Yi sensed the malevolent aura surrounding the white bone demon god and murmured to himself.

"The White Bone Demon God has a profound foundation, refined with spiritual wood of the Dao of Life and Glory, and then harmonized with the Sutra of Life, Death and Glory."

"It can be used to refine a high-quality, low-grade, third-tier puppet, to complement Little Seven, who has condensed her demon core..."

Fang Yi closed his eyes slightly, summoned the Five Poison Cauldron, and spat out a stream of withering and flourishing pill fire to begin refining the spiritual object.

Xiao Yan Ning Dan is located in the core of Xuan Yang Mountain. It is not only protected by a great formation, but also guarded by two third-order demon kings.

It requires obstructing the path and resorting to underhanded tactics, which is extremely dangerous. Only in this way can the proper thing to do be to refine the puppet.

……

"boom!"

A beam of azure light shot into the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds and creating a massive spiritual tide.

Which direction is it?

"Azure Light Five Elements Mansion!!"

A gasp of amazement echoed through Xuan Yang Mountain.

Bilang Peak, Feihe Pool, Yunfeng Pond, Tiangong Refining Tower, Shennong Pavilion...

In a moment.

The masters of all the various cave dwellings and spiritual lands, whether they were teaching disciples, refining spiritual medicines, or cultivating in seclusion, all paused in their actions.

"He's reached the Core Formation stage?"

"Xiao Yan Ning Dan!"

Streams of divine consciousness, some blazing hot, transforming into dazzling flames, others flowing with azure spiritual light, condensing into crystals…

In Xuan Yang Mountain, all cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage used their own methods to closely monitor the changes in the Bi Guang Five Elements Palace.

A newly promoted True Core Realm cultivator represents a new power, and interests are being redistributed.

At this moment, countless cultivators had already begun preparing spiritual items for Xiao Yan's Core Formation Ceremony, all in an effort to leave a good impression.

Tianji Peak is covered with ancient trees reaching for the sky, and elegant cranes flutter their wings.

The pavilions and terraces are surrounded by a lotus pond of about an acre, where koi carp swim freely and pink lotus blossoms bloom.

Amidst the gentle strains of traditional music, Yan Youtai waved for the dancers to leave.

His eyes shimmered with a silvery light, reflecting the thunderclouds gradually gathering above the Azure Five Elements Palace.

"The Heavenly Ancestor's plan was not in vain. Xiao Yan's displayed strength is enough, as long as he overcomes the tribulation of his inner demons..."

The chance of condensing the elixir is about 90%!

He smiled, his eyes filled with chilling malice, and cast a jade talisman.

"Once my Uncle-Master Xiao's mind has condensed into a core, given the past grievances between the Xiao family and Fang Yi, the two will inevitably fight to the death."

Accompanied by heavy footsteps, Chu Xiang, dressed in bronze armor and with a magic sling at his waist, appeared with an imposing presence.

"Your humble servant greets Your Majesty!"

Looking at the burly cultivator prostrate on the ground, Yan Youtai took out a token engraved with Bagua runes from his sleeve.

"Chu Xiang, take my decree and select one spirit field, one cave dwelling, and one medicine garden that I am affiliated with."

Be discreet in your actions and don't let anyone notice.

After Xiao Yan emerged from seclusion, he ordered several Foundation Establishment family cultivators to be offered to him in exchange for protection.

After Fang Yi leaves the pass, you send someone to sell the deed to the medicinal garden to Liang Qu at a discounted price…

"What is Your Majesty's intention?" Chu Xiang respectfully accepted the token, seemingly lost in thought.

"Xiao Yan is cunning, and Fang Yi is also shrewd and calculating; neither of them is a simple person."

Even if there is someone inside the door to offer support as bait.

"If we don't give them a little push, things won't get lively." Yan Youtai said calmly.

For ordinary cultivators and families, herb gardens, spirit fields, and superior cave dwellings are all indispensable family assets.

For him, it was just a single move.

"Chu Xiang, do you remember that after you sold the medicinal herb field to Liang Qu, enough news was spread?"

He befriended Liang Qu out of consideration for Fang Yi's reputation.

"I want all cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage in the sect to know within a month that Fang Yi's power in condensing his core has greatly increased, and Liang Qu has benefited greatly from it."

"Yes!"

Chu Xiang was astonished. How could Yan Youtai be so certain that Fang Yi, who had failed to condense his core before, could condense it again?

But with his life and fortune in his hands, and his children being taken in as disciples by Yan Youtai, he would certainly do everything in his power.

……

Inside the Biguang Wuyuan Mansion, Xiao Yantou wore a black jade crown, held an ancient green wooden staff, and stood on auspicious clouds, surrounded by a green mist.

He paid no attention to the undercurrents surging within Xuan Yang Mountain.

"Ningdan!
After more than a hundred years of arduous practice, I have finally taken this step.

"Once the tribulation of lightning passes, I will surely find my place among the immortals of the Great Cloud Realm."

"boom!"

Thunderclouds rolled for miles, and purple lightning flashed like snakes, constantly moving about.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, a bolt of lightning struck down.

"Come!"

Xiao Yan, his robes billowing, exuded confidence and his magical power surged like a mighty river as he unleashed the ancient staff covered in spiritual runes.

"The resurgence of the Xiao family at Burning Dome begins here!"

……

Within the Crimson Pill Spiritual Palace, the dense Yin energy had already suppressed the scorching aura of the spiritual wood.

Chi Yin had a youthful face, sat cross-legged, and two large elixir appeared on the top of his head.

One of them is entirely blue and eerie, exuding a ghostly aura; it was obtained from the Ghost King Chi Yan Ji of the Burial Soul Abyss.

One is a fiery aura, a yin fire as sticky as glue, which comes from the yin fire golden elixir of the Sudu Mountain.

"Eat...eat!"

The crimson tiger's fangs gleamed with a cold light, its eyes burning with an astonishing appetite, and it used its magical power to transform into a furnace.

The two large pills were continuously cooked and refined to extract their essence, turning into wisps of green smoke.

One strand fell into the mouth of the Crimson Yin, increasing its cultivation. Another strand circled the Blood Spring Coffin, evolving into a magical restriction.

"Roar!"

The White Bone Demon God roared ferociously, surrounded by a gloomy aura, and emanated layers of gray spiritual light.

Fang Yi patted his storage bag, and more than ten spirit-sealing jade boxes containing refined spirit iron and demon bones emerged one after another.

The essence of the White Bone Demon God had already reached the third-tier low-grade level, and its origin was abundant due to the painstaking refinement by the White Bone Sect Master.

As the White Bone Demon God continuously refined spiritual wood and iron, its sinister and malevolent aura gradually seeped into its very bones.

"Buzz!"

A drop of smooth, fragrant essence blood spilled from Fang Yi's fingertip and fell toward the White Bone Demon God.

"Tick!"

The withered and ominous aura transformed into lush and vibrant life, and lotus patterns spread across the pale bones.

"Buzz!"

The white skeletal demon puppet's body gleamed with jade light, clad in ancient wooden armor, its malevolent aura deeply concealed.

Every gesture he made exuded vitality and radiant light, his appearance dignified and solemn.

"It's done!"

Fang Yi's face lit up with joy; the quality of the White Bone Demon God was even higher than he had expected.

It was refined and purified nine times with spiritual herbs, using spiritual wood as armor, ancient vines as warp, and animal hides as muscle, through painstaking consecration.

Even without unleashing its hidden skeletal aura, it can still be considered a masterpiece, its killing power being top-notch.

"boom!"

Above the Azure Light Five Elements Mansion, the wooden dragon shook its scales and shattered the last lightning tribulation with a single claw.

The dark clouds that stretched for miles dispersed, and the sunlight shone on Xiao Yan's face, making him exceptionally handsome and captivating.

"Finally, this step has been taken."

He felt the azure elixir in his dantian slowly rotating, its magical power enduring, and his divine soul radiating jade light. He then bowed respectfully to the divine senses that had manifested as ice mirrors and fire lotuses, exuding an air of refined elegance.

"I will condense a superior-grade true elixir, and ten days later, at the ancestral land of my Xiao family, at the top of the Burning Peak, I will hold the Core Formation Ceremony."

I hope all fellow disciples will arrive as scheduled.

"Rest assured, Master, we will definitely arrive as promised!"

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Xiao Yan's gaze pierced through the layers of clouds and landed on the Xuan Kong Crimson Pill Spirit Mansion, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Fang Yi has condensed a true elixir?"
Even if a mid-grade Foundation Establishment cultivator were to break through by chance, what grade of pill could they condense?

With a top-grade elixir, he was now in an invincible position.

"Fellow disciples, I am departing!"

Xiao Yan took a step forward, and the azure vitality transformed into a rainbow bridge, which then transformed into a necklace that fell towards the top of the Burning Peak.

According to clan secrets, the Five Spirit Springs contain spiritual objects, which should be opened only after a descendant has condensed a false elixir.

How could he forget something that could aid in spiritual practice?

'After I condense my core, Fang Yi is no longer a threat; Yan Youtai is my greatest enemy.'

At Chunyang Peak, a clear spring gurgles, and spiritual fields stretch out in all directions. From time to time, spiritual farmers can be seen tending to the spiritual rice with spiritual hoes in hand.

Ancestral Hall.

The three jade statues exude an aura of majesty, with hundreds of bronze bases and lotus-shaped lamps on the altar, their eerie green flames flickering as they rest on the offering table.

Zhang Hengyi and Xiao Changce sat cross-legged on a clean, hemp-woven prayer mat.

Zhang Heng was dressed in a purple cloud robe and wore a gentleman's crown. He held the Great Void Shaking Cloud Boat in his hand, and the verdant spiritual light transformed into Dharma wheels, which slowly turned behind him.

"High-grade true elixir?
Senior Brother Tianque, what a skillful move!
Senior Brother Xiao, your disciple is in trouble…

Xiao Changce sensed the aura of divination outside the Ancestral Hall, which was undisguised as being unfathomably deep.

Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, an elderly man, hunched over and holding a wooden cane, appeared, sitting contentedly in front of the Ancestral Hall.

He sighed helplessly.

"Alas, our lineage of the Ancestral Hall is ultimately lacking a Great Master."

When competing with the Tianji and Xuanyang lineages, they lacked some confidence.

Now it's all up to Fang Yi's fate.

Zhang Hengyi said.

"Senior Brother Xiao, there's plenty of time in the future."

"Junior Brother Fang is no ordinary person either. He can't defeat Yan Youtai and Xiao Yan together, but with me watching over him, he won't be harmed."

"But without the support of the sect, the road ahead will be difficult." Xiao Changce said with a helpless expression.

The cultivation world of Dayun is barren, and the deepest foundation of spiritual herbs and trees lies in Xuanyang Mountain.

Huang Guangsheng is a Great True Man, and his skills in planting spiritual plants have also reached the upper-level third rank. He has cultivated for five hundred years, planting spiritual herbs and nourishing spiritual trees.

To preserve the profound cultural heritage of the Great Cloud Sect, which is the best in the world.

Even setting aside the legacy inherited from Zhang Hengyi, the remaining foundation is enough to greatly benefit Fang Yi's cultivation.

Unfortunately, the Ancestral Hall lineage lost a Grand Master; otherwise, at least 50% of the spiritual wood in this sect could have been taken.

He and Zhang Heng joined forces, intending to do something underhanded to Xiao Yan, hinder his cultivation, and increase Fang Yi's chances of winning.

But before they could make a move, Tian Quezi discovered them and blocked their door.

Zhang Hengyi put away the Great Void Shaking Cloud Boat, his eyes a deep blue, his voice booming like a bell. "Senior Brother Tianque, Changce and I will no longer interfere in the affairs of Junior Brother Yan and Junior Brother Xiao."

But even Senior Brother Tianque cannot lend a hand…

"good!"

The hazy, illusory figure of the elderly man gradually faded away, and his aged words easily penetrated the restrictions, echoing throughout the Ancestral Hall.

“Junior Brother Hengyi, for the sake of Guangsheng’s reputation, I will not pursue the matter of Five Extremes Peak.”

But there won't be a next time...

Zhang Heng waved his sleeves, summoning an ancient book that shone with a precious light. The protective spells within the Ancestral Hall spread, completely isolating the inside from the outside.

"Great Master..."

Even though I wield the Great Void Shaking Cloud Boat and have condensed a Golden Core, my foundation is no weaker than that of the leaders of the White Bone and Joyful Union sects.

Compared to the Great Master, he was ultimately no match...

Moreover, Senior Brother Tianque is among the most outstanding of all the Great True Immortals.”

His face showed helplessness, and his gaze pierced through the layers of magical restrictions, landing on the Xuan Kong Crimson Pill Spiritual Mansion.

"Junior Nephew Fang, everything depends on your foundation."

Xiao Changce also looked reluctant. "I only hope that Xiao Yan and Yan Youtai will turn against each other, so that Fang Yi can protect more of the spiritual items."

……

A quarter of an hour.

The bright moon hangs high, its silvery light casting a veil over the dome of the sky.

Amidst swirling mist and ancient, verdant trees, a babbling spring flows gently, its rich, aquatic essence transforming into clouds and fog.

As a streak of azure light descended, splashing water from the spring, Xiao Yan transformed into a beam of light and fell into the Five Spirit Spring.

"kindness?"

Inside the grotto, exotic flowers bloom and ancient vines climb, exuding a rich sense of vitality.

Xiao Yan's expression was grim.

"Where is the spirit?!"

"How come there's no trace of the spiritual objects that Uncle Xiao Lie, a pseudo-Dan cultivator, set up with protective barriers?!"

He loosely clenched his five fingers and scanned the cave inch by inch with his divine sense.

A quarter of an hour later.

Looking at the abundant life force in his hand, Xiao Yan's face was so gloomy it seemed like he was about to burst into tears.

Although he had the support of Tianquezi, he was not wealthy and had not yet achieved the goal of condensing the elixir.

They were hoping to preserve the clan's heritage to refine spiritual objects, but unexpectedly, someone else beat them to it.
A short while later, beside the Five Spirit Spring, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged, his aura heavy and oppressive, like dark clouds pressing down on the city.

"Xiao Qingying, Xiao Su, come see me at once!"

Half an hour later.

Xiao Qingying knelt on the ground, tears welling in her eyes, her delicate body trembling slightly, her words filled with sorrow.

"Master, you must stand up for Su Lang!"
While you were in seclusion, Fang Yi came to your door and forcibly seized the spiritual treasures from the Five Spirit Spring.

He also knocked Su Lang into a coma, causing his cultivation level to plummet.

Xiao Yan had no suspicions.

Xiao Qingying has been deeply in love with Xiao Su since childhood, and her heart has been devoted to him. This is common knowledge among the cultivators of the Xiao clan.

With a grab of his five fingers, he pulled Xiao Su, who was dressed in a black robe, with stiff limbs, lifeless eyes, and a low aura, into his arms and carefully examined him with his divine sense.

Ten breaths later.

"boom!"

A surging pressure descended, causing Xiao Yan's aura to soar to the sky, his anger burning fiercely.

"This is too much!
How dare Fang Yi harm his fellow disciples!

Xiao Qingying, come with me to Tianji Peak and ask Master Tianque to make a decision.

Xiao Qingying hesitated, secretly shedding tears, but she did not get up.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yan frowned and rebuked, "What else are you hiding from me?"

"Tell me quickly!"

Xiao Qingying looked at Xiao Su reluctantly and said timidly.

"The real person is actually Su Lang, who borrowed spiritual items first, then became insolvent, and used the opportunity of the Five Spiritual Springs as repayment."
Later, Su Lang and Fang Yi searched for opportunities together, but were injured by the Fa Jin.
But Fang Yi was ruthless, dragging Su Lang to the point of mental and physical collapse.

"kindness?!"

Xiao Yan's anger faltered, and the spiritual light beneath his feet dissipated.

"Asshole!
This Xiao Su is utterly foolish!
"A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, trying to negotiate with a tiger for its skin?!"

"True Man, before Su Lang had even established his foundation, he borrowed spiritual items from Fang Yi."

Xiao Qingying looked pitiful, covering her face with her hands, but still cautiously reminded him.

"Cultivate Qi!"

Xiao Yan instantly realized that Xiao Su had already been colluding with Fang Yi and might even be Fang Yi's spy.

However, now that he has a chance to condense his core and the Xiao family has no one else to rely on, he has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light.

He paced back and forth, his heart burning with anger, yet also feeling quite helpless.

Xiao Su used the opportunity of the Five Spirit Springs as collateral to exchange for a Foundation Establishment spiritual item, and was ultimately injured by the restrictions of the law, which is reasonable and well-founded.

Fang Yi is not without powerful backers.

"Uncle-Master Xiao, why are you so furious?" Under the cedar tree, accompanied by clear voices, Yan Youtai, who had been watching for a long time, paced back and forth.
