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

Chapter 783 followed closely, gathering all cultivators.

"Buzz!"

A talisman flew out from her sleeve, transforming into a precious pearl. Gray mist filled the air, instantly obscuring her escape light.

Yan Youtai's eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he murmured under his breath.

"Changsun Jie went to great lengths to trick Fang Yi, that old turtle, out of Qingkong Cliff."

Xiao Yan held the Azure Blood Bodhi Branch in his hand, surrounded by lush green vitality, and was faintly no weaker than a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

His eyes were ruthless, and he said in a hateful voice:
According to Changsun Jie, Fang Yi obtained a third-tier superior-grade [Yinhuai Soul-Slaying Puppet Array] inheritance from Qingmu Palace.

In order to obtain a third-tier Yin-attribute spiritual item, Fang went to the territory of the White Bone Sect.

Don't miss out!

This time, we must resolve this once and for all, and send him on his way completely.

Otherwise, once the puppet array is fully refined and aided by a rare treasure from a celestial realm, Fang Yi will truly soar to the heavens, beyond any possibility of suppression.

A thousand miles away from Qingkong Cliff, a strong wind blows above the clouds, and Fang Yi stands tall and straight, like a jade tree in full bloom.

He patted his storage bag, and a beam of spiritual light shot out.

"Wow!"

The light descended and transformed into a crane puppet with blue feathers and white plumage, its wings outstretched, its cry melodious.

"Yan Youtai has caught up."

Sensing the aura that was being carefully concealed behind him, Fang Yi's lips curled slightly.

"A rare talisman that conceals one's aura has taken a lot of effort."

Will you make me your biggest competitor for the [Jianyang Secret Realm], or are you prepared to swallow Qingkong Cliff whole?

He had mastered the Scripture of Life, Death, Withering and Flourishing, and even the Great Master could not hide it from him. Although the talismans and treasures were wonderful, they could not compare to the Great Master.

Yan Youtai's efforts were in vain.

Fang Yi's gaze swept across the southwest. The White Bone Sect's mountain gate was connected to Sudu Mountain, both located in the southwest of Dayun.

"It's not a good time to make a move since Biyue Pavilion is located at the border of Xuanyang Mountain. We should move closer to Baigumen."

With Tian Quezi's cultivation level, if he were determined and willing to pay a certain price, breaking through the White Bone wouldn't be an extremely difficult task.

"The accumulated spiritual artifacts of white bones over a thousand years, once obtained, can be refined into puppets, and then the puppet array obtained from the ruins of the Green Wood Palace on Mount Sudu can be used to refine the inheritance."

Holding the [Yinhuai Soul-Slaying Puppet Array] in his hand, his eyes burned with fervor as he murmured softly.

“Even a Grand Master could handle it, but the Jade Water Pavilion is just a Grand Master named Yu Yuanzi.”

Only in this way can one truly place their pieces on the table and influence the overall situation.

Instead of maneuvering and dodging amidst the calculations and battles of the Great Master.

Fang Yi flicked his sleeves, lifted his boots and stepped onto the blue-feathered white crane, his magical power surging from his feet.

"Wow!"

The crane flapped its wings, surrounded by purple mist, and fled in the southeast direction.

The southeastern part of Dayun contains a third-order Yin-attribute spiritual vein, adjacent to Sudu Mountain, which is the location of the White Bone Sect's mountain gate.

Choosing a location near this place for the duel, and with the intervention of the two True Immortals, Qing Sui and Yin Gu, would be enough to outmaneuver the White Bone Sect.

Trace the mountain.

Located thousands of miles north of the ancient city of Dadu, the area is covered with dense ancient forests and rarely visited by people.

The spiritual veins, large and small, are home to countless demonic beasts, some frolicking and playing, others hunting and mating.

Inside the ancient stone cave, Gu Jiushang sat imposingly on an obsidian chair, gazing at the Five Flavors Pot, a magical artifact that had recently advanced to the next level.

The jade carp meat is sliced ​​into thin pieces, crystal clear and clinging to the bottom of the pot, while the finest beef bones are simmered to extract milky white marrow.

A faint aroma wafts through the air, tempting the appetite.

"Gulu."

His nose twitched, and he subconsciously swallowed.

"This Sudu Mountain is truly a good place to cultivate the [Mysterious Gluttony Hundred-Day Banquet]."

If it were in Xuanyang Mountain, let alone twenty-year-old jade carp, no fishermen would raise even five-year-old jade carp.

This second-tier, mid-grade water-patterned old ox was completely devoured.

Soon, the rich broth in the five-flavor pot boiled, and steam rose in wisps.

"It's done!"

Gu Jiushang's eyes lit up, and he reached out to grab the carp meat from the Five Flavors Pot.

"who!

Who dares to be so insolent!

His expression changed slightly, and his magical power flowed.

His natal magic weapon, the Taotie Blade, appeared in his hand. He looked warily out of the cave, his aura, cultivated at the second level of the Core Formation stage, surging forth.

"Tsk, it's been over twenty years, old man Gu, you don't recognize me?"

A small, silver-white beast emerged from the ground, clutching the Earth Treasure Gourd, and kept swallowing as it looked at the fragrant, milky-white broth in the Five Flavors Pot.

"nice one!

Master is right, this Sudu Mountain is truly a blessed land for cultivating the [Hundred-Day Feast of Profound Gluttony].
In just over twenty years, the Taotie Blade has been forged with three protective barriers.

And this Five Flavors Pot, originally just a high-grade magical artifact, has also survived its tribulation.

Qi Jie reached out and scooped up several pieces of fish, the fresh and fragrant taste rushing straight to his soul.

"It's so fragrant and delicious, it melts in your mouth, it's really a wonderful taste!"

Watching the silvery-white beast wolf down its food, Gu Jiushang chuckled softly, his murderous aura receding.

Immediately, the Taotie knife in his hand flashed with cold light, and slices of thin, translucent jade carp meat fell into the Five Flavors Pot.

"Little Seven, you're still as greedy as ever. Eat as much as you want; I have plenty of monster meat."

"correct.

What brings you here today, sir? Is it for the matter of the Crimson Yin Sacrifice to refine the Blood Spring Coffin?

Tracing back through the mountains, the third-tier [Demonic Path Inheritance] continues uninterrupted, making it arguably the greatest opportunity in the Great Cloud Realm.

This phenomenon, which has been circulating for decades, has attracted nearly 70-80% of the independent cultivators in the cultivation world who have the potential to break through to a higher realm.

Now I have discovered that there are twenty-six rogue cultivators at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment stage who have broken through to the next realm through seclusion.

Ten cultivators suffered backlash and died, and twelve others had their cultivation paths severed, but they managed to stabilize their Foundation Establishment level nine cultivation, leaving them a sliver of opportunity for further advancement.

Of the remaining six, four cultivators lacked sufficient foundation and barely managed to condense a false core, while two successfully formed a true core.

"Twenty-six Foundation Establishment Ninth Level cultivators went into seclusion, and two broke through to become True Core cultivators and four became False Core cultivators."
Previously, it was tacitly suppressed by sects such as Xuan Yang Mountain, Bi Shui Pavilion, Tian Dao Wu, and He Huan Sect.

There is no shortage of geniuses and those with abundant opportunities among the independent cultivators.

However, two of the six cultivators who broke through to the next realm actually condensed their true cores.

A ratio of two to one?

The ratio of fake pills to real pills is nearly three times that of the Xuan Yang and Bi Shui schools.

The casualty rate among rogue cultivators breaking through to higher realms was extremely high, nearly ten times that of major sects like Xuan Yang Mountain and Bi Shui Pavilion.

Another pot of jade carp was devoured, and Qi Jie chewed incessantly, his eyes filled with happiness and contentment.

She mumbled:

"It's normal for ten to die. Some cultivators can condense their true cores and refine their natal magic treasures."

Third-tier spiritual veins are either occupied by the demon race or controlled by various major sects.

The master passed down several third-tier inheritances, which were already extremely rare and demanding, greatly reducing the requirements for spiritual veins, core-forming spiritual objects, and foundation.

But with every gain comes a loss.

The danger of failing to break through to a higher realm is more than ten times greater than that of a true disciple in Xuan Yang Mountain or Bi Shui Pavilion.

Gu Jiushang's blade flashed continuously, showing no concern for the dead cultivators.

Having been betrayed, his dantian destroyed by a half-demon, and the death of his friend, he...
He was no longer the well-regarded and kind-hearted Senior Brother Gu from Xuan Yang Mountain.

"Those two Core Formation cultivators, one is called [Mysterious Charm Cultivator], and the other calls himself [Blood Tooth Cultivator].

Gu Jiushang spoke calmly, as if he were planning the ingredients.

"As the master instructed, I passed down the third-tier inheritance only up to the Core Formation stage, and after that it became incomplete."

Furthermore, the inheritance indicates that part of it is the legacy of the Blood Corpse Sect from thousands of years ago, and part is a remnant of the Green Wood Palace.
I have no regrets once the elixir is completed, for it is for the sake of my future path.

Whether it's the true core cultivators like Xuanmei and Xuechi who emerged from the ranks of rogue cultivators, or the four fake core cultivators.

To complete one's lineage and advance one's cultivation, one must not leave the territory of the Sudu Mountain.

"I have followed the master's instructions and contacted them privately to exchange spiritual items."

That's how I obtained this old ox bone with watermarks.

Once their cultivation is stable and they have finished refining their natal magic treasures, Chi Yin can come and refine the Blood Spring Coffin.

The various Foundation Establishment families and Pseudo-Core Formation forces that had accumulated power over hundreds of years in the Great Cloud Dynasty were all drawn to the third-tier inheritance.

Gu Jiushang paused slightly, showing surprise and admiration for Fang Yi's keen understanding of human nature.

"According to this plan, using inheritance as bait, we will devour the forces below the Core Formation stage of the Great Cloud Sect."

It is entirely possible to refine the Blood Spring Coffin into a superior-grade magic weapon.

However, cultivators practicing demonic arts began to secretly associate with Gray Crow, the foul-mouthed Core Formation cultivator from the White Bone Sect.

That's good!
As for clandestine dealings, there's no need to worry about that. If things go smoothly, the White Bone Sect will soon be gone.”

Another pot of jade carp was emptied. Seven Precepts picked up the Five Flavors Pot and drank the fragrant, milky-white bone broth in one gulp.

"belch!"

She patted her belly contentedly, feeling the warm currents slowly nourishing her soul, and her blood and energy within her body becoming slightly stronger.

"Old Gu, your mastery of culinary arts must have broken through to the third level."

The master obtained a fortuitous opportunity from Sheng Bo'an: a secret method of body refinement called the "Red Essence Transformation Method".

This secret method seems to be related to the "oil-adding and lamp-lighting method" used by Fan Dacheng in his foundation-building process.

Qi Jie muttered to himself, having not seen Fan Dacheng for a long time, and wondered what his current situation was.

She and Fan Dacheng were old acquaintances and had a good relationship.

Back in Fengling Immortal City, Fan Dacheng took her to the Red Sleeve Pavilion, where she broadened her horizons considerably.

From a half-price package of 68 spirit stones to a top courtesan costing 168 spirit stones, Fan Dacheng has never been stingy.

"I recently passed through the ancient city of Dadu. Sheng Bo'an has already completed his cultivation and emerged from seclusion. Once his cultivation is stabilized, he will present me with the [Red Essence Transformation Method]."

This method, combined with the master's nearly two hundred years of cultivation of the "Scripture of Life, Death, Withering and Flourishing," has accumulated vitality far exceeding that of his peers.

Having one more choice than other True Immortals of the same level, one can discard their near-third-level body refinement cultivation and resume their cultivation path.

"At that time, to nourish the blood and replenish the essence, your precious delicacies will be indispensable."

Gu Jiushang froze, a fleeting gloom in his eyes.

"The Way of the Spirit Chef is still a bit short of the third level."

[The Hundred-Day Feast of the Mystic Glutton] To break through to the third rank, unlike ordinary culinary inheritances, one needs to cook a 'main dish' as ​​a sacrifice to oneself. With my current accumulation, and with the help of the Gluttonous Knife and the Five-Flavor Pot, I am more than capable of preparing a third-rank spiritual feast, enough to supply Master alone without any problem.

"The main course?"

Qi Jie seemed to be deep in thought. Gu Jiu Shang was a top-grade golden spiritual root, with impeccable lineage.

She had heard a little about why she ultimately sided with Fang Yi.

"Old man Gu, your chance has come. The master has sent me here to give you three instructions."

One is the inheritance of demonic cultivation, which has been accumulated over hundreds of years by swallowing up the vast cloud of cultivators and rogue cultivators.

Although the various factions were suppressed by the Xuan Yang sects, their privately accumulated resources were extremely rich.

Secondly, the time is ripe to take action against Yan Youtai.

"They're going to make a move against Yan Youtai?!"

Is this true?

When are we going to make our move?!

Gu Jiushang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his killing intent was chilling, and a cold chill filled the cave, freezing the water vapor floating in the air into ice.

In terms of hatred, the conflict between Fang Yi and Yan Youtai stemmed from a struggle for interests.

During the Foundation Establishment cultivation, Fang Yi was a cut above the rest, and at least 50-60% of the rare spiritual herbs were provided by Yan Youtai.

And he
Back then, he was tricked into falling into the hands of a half-demon from the Great Li Kingdom by using his fellow disciples as bait, but it was all thanks to Yan Youtai's instigation.

A deep-seated, life-or-death feud must never be let go!
Sudu Mountain is rich in resources, and Gu Jiushang is not without other means to prepare the main dish of the "Mysterious Gluttony Hundred-Day Banquet".

He did not break through; he was waiting for Yan Youtai.

Gu Jiushang's Dao heart would not be at peace unless he swallowed it whole, skin and bones.
Yellow sand swirled, suppressing the chill in the cave and protecting the last piece of beef bone in the five-flavor pot.

"Zi Liu~"

As he sucked the marrow from the cow's bones, Seven Precepts spoke.

"The master has already made his move. Judging by the time, he should lead Yan Youtai and Xiao Yan to move towards the territory of the White Bone Sect."

"Old Gu, once you're ready, come with me to settle the score and use the Xuan Tao Hundred-Day Banquet to truly advance to the third-tier master level of the Spirit Chef's Path."

"finally.
finally"

Gu Jiushang clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hands bulging like earthworms, and his bones cracking.

He gritted his teeth and said quietly, "Finally, I can avenge my past grievances!"

"Yan Youtai, I have been waiting for this day for far too long!"

"Walk!

"Xiao Qi, we must leave immediately. Sending Yan Youtai on his way is the most important thing. This cave dwelling is not well-maintained."

He took a step forward, golden mane sprouting from his body, and landed on all fours. He transformed into a majestic and agile golden lion, its entire body gilded.

"Roar!"

A fierce lion roared, demonic energy gathered, and a chilling aura filled the air.

Qi Jie frowned slightly, then summoned the Earth Treasure Gourd and sprayed it with spiritual sand. Brown spiritual light flowed around it, causing sand and stones to fly.

With each breath, the soaring energy was completely concealed.

"Old man Gu, don't be anxious. The master has been planning this for a long time, and Yan Youtai is like a turtle in a jar."

One last thing: is there anyone else in Xuan Yang Mountain still practicing the [Xuan Tao Hundred-Day Banquet] tradition?
The fundamental lineage of Xuanyang Mountain seems to be intricately connected with the ancient shamanistic tradition.

Yan Youtai was just sacrificed by Tian Quezi, and all the heavenly secrets and Daoist wisdom he had accumulated over two hundred years were taken away.

Even though you are on Mount Sudu, you must act with caution and lest you follow in their footsteps.

"Ancient witchcraft?"
Is someone else practicing the path of spiritual cooking?

Gu Jiushang fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he said uncertainly:

"The Xuan Tao Hundred-Day Banquet is a tradition of the Ancestral Hall. My adoptive master was an old Foundation Establishment cultivator under the Ancestral Hall, who lived a retirement life in the Spiritual Food Pavilion of the sect."

He occasionally mentioned that, in terms of the art of spiritual cooking, Xiao Changce, the disciple of Grand Master Guang Sheng, was the most promising candidate for the third rank.

"Xiao Changce?"

"Yes, it's Xiao Changce. It's said that he was highly regarded by Master Guangsheng back then."

Gu Jiushang affirmed, "He relies on his culinary skills and is well-suited to inherit the lineage of the Ancestral Hall."

"How could it be him?!"

Qi Jie's lips twitched slightly, incredulous.

Having fought several times at Qingkong Cliff, Xiao Changce was, in his memory, nothing more than an ordinary Core Formation cultivator.

In terms of magical combat, magical treasures, and profound knowledge, they are all unremarkable.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be another old turtle that could hold its breath.

"hiss!

"Xiao Changce's Core Formation also grants him a Fire Spirit Root, which is beneficial for the Path of Spirit Chefs."

Gu Jiushang gasped, exchanged a glance with Qi Jie, and both saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.

It's darkest under the lamp.
As a potential third-tier spirit chef and a disciple of the previous generation of Grand Master of the Ancestral Hall, it's understandable that he hasn't comprehended the [Mysterious Gluttony Hundred-Day Banquet].

I'm afraid no one will believe it.
"It's that old crow again, just like the master."
Old Xuanwu."

Qi Jie's lips twitched as he thought of Fang Yi, who remained calm and composed, keeping his true abilities hidden.

"The three masters of Xuanyang Mountain are indeed all troublesome."

This needs to be reported to the master as soon as possible so that we can make plans accordingly.

"Fellow Daoist Huangqiu, are you there?"

A vast, demonic aura permeated the air, enveloping the cave dwelling, causing moss to grow and grass to spread.

Gu Jiushang's expression was solemn as he murmured:
"Lu Xiaozi, wasn't he in seclusion healing his injuries? Why did he come here?"

"Little Seven!" He opened his mouth wide and spat out a spirit pet pouch.

Qi Jie immediately understood; the deer demon was likely related to the "Sutra of Life, Death, Withering and Flourishing".

If that's the case, Fang Yi sensed the power of the energy before her, and she absolutely couldn't take any risks that would ruin the excellent situation.

"Buzz!"

The silver-white beast took a step forward, concealed its aura, and transformed into a streak of light before stepping into the spirit pet pouch.

Gu Jiushang swallowed the spirit pet pouch, then exhaled a misty demonic aura, washing away all the energy in the cave.

After counting the interest.

"boom!"

The restrictions on the cave dwelling were lifted.

A lithe figure, clad in golden armor with fluttering mane, and Gu Jiushang, exuding a fierce aura, stepped out and stopped on a large blue stone.

"Greetings, Lord Deer."

"As expected of a Golden Core cultivator. It has been more than ten years since I last saw him. Huang Qiu has already entered the second level of Core Formation and has accumulated considerable strength."

Lu Xiaozi wore a green robe, had a deer head on his head, was half human and half demon, and had a life force of decay and growth flowing around him, with his cultivation level of the late stage of Core Formation surging.

"I've come here today to ask you to do something."

"Lord Deer, please give your orders, and Huang Qiu will do his utmost."

Gu Jiu lowered his head slightly to show respect.

Feeling the pure demonic power surrounding Lu Xiaozi, the Daoist rhymes of withering and flourishing transform and evolve into various Daoist rhymes such as decay, vitality, decay, and Yi Wood.

He was shocked.

'【The Sutra of Life, Death, Withering and Flourishing】?'
It seems plausible but is definitely related to the master's fundamental martial arts techniques.

Deer-like creature nodded slightly.

This golden-armored lion, a demon king he personally nurtured, is now humble and respectful, which pleases him greatly.

"I've heard that you have connections with Xuanmei and Xuechi, two newly promoted Core Formation cultivators."

Xuan Yang Mountain clashed with Bi Shui Pavilion, and Tian Dao Dock also got involved, resulting in more than half of the human forces in the Great Cloud Immortal Cultivation World being restrained.

Go and contact Xuanmei and Xuechi, and tell them that I intend to assist them in searching for the remnants of the Blood Corpse Sect and the Green Wood Palace in Sudu Mountain.

They don't need to submit to the demon race.

Once you establish a foothold in Dadu Ancient City, you'll be of great use later.

"Yes!"

Gu Jiushang lowered his head and spoke.

Although he knew that Lu Xiaozi was of great use to Fang Yi, he was no match for the old demon with the cultivation of a Grand Master.

Deer-like creature nodded slightly.

"In return, Xuanmei and Xuechi need to do their utmost to collect wood-type cultivation techniques for me."

Based primarily on the principles of vitality and the cycle of growth and decay, if a human power possesses the inherited lineage of the Azure Wood Palace,
"I will also pay a sufficient price."

The Way of Life and Death?

Gu Jiu was heartbroken and vaguely guessed that, given Lu Xiaozi's nearly eight hundred years of cultivation, his cultivation method was very likely related to the Qingmu Palace.

We must inform the master of this news as soon as possible so that we can make preparations accordingly.
With the resources and resources of Xuan Yang Mountain, and if the plan is well-thought-out, it's not impossible for them to swallow the Deer Demon Child.

Ten days later.

The Azure Crane descended upon a mountain peak surrounded by yin energy and covered with strange rocks.

Fang Yi held a communication talisman, lost in thought.

"Xiao Changce also has a hidden skill in cooking?"
The origin of this "Mysterious Hundred-Day Banquet" can be traced back to shamanistic rituals.

Indeed, the three mountain ranges of Xuanyang Mountain do not support idlers.

He immediately sensed the energy not far away and murmured softly.

"Take care of Yan Youtai first."

Hundreds of miles away.

Yan Youtai's escape light paused for a moment, and as he watched Fang Yi stop advancing, his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"The Lesser Yin Mountain is three thousand miles away, and what Changsun Jie said is correct."

Fang Yi came here to exchange for Yin-attribute spiritual items to cultivate the Azure Wood Puppet Array inheritance.

"The time has come. Let's not wait until Fang Yi enters Xiaoyin Mountain and cause any unexpected trouble."

The Azure Bodhi Branch in Xiao Yan's hand swayed, surrounded by killing intent.

"Yes, let's make a move."

Yan Youtai's black and white robes fluttered as he fled forward.

"This place is beautiful with clear waters and lush mountains, making it a suitable burial site for Fang Yi."

"Then they can frame the White Bone Sect to avoid being investigated by the sect."
