The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 217 Demon Invasion
Without the purple-robed youth presiding over the formation, Hong Jiu and Zhu Ba quickly broke it. The Human Emperor and Ancestor Zhang also flew over with a group of Nascent Soul Realm immortals.

"Qin Yun, what kind of magic weapon was that gourd you used just now? How was it so powerful?" Zhu Ba couldn't help but ask curiously.

The sword energy erupting from that gourd was even more terrifying than Qin Yun's natal flying sword, leaving all the Nascent Soul Realm experts in awe.

Qin Yun looked at Master Zhang, who couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, Qin Yun actually got this magic weapon from me. I sold it to Brother Qin Yun for the price of a top-grade magic weapon back then, but it seems I sold it a bit too low!"

The Human Emperor, standing to the side, said, "Brother Zhang, you've already set the price too high. This magic weapon can only be used by sword immortals, and the sword immortal lineage reaches its peak at the Innate Golden Core stage. What price do you want to sell it for?"

"Haha." Master Zhang laughed as he looked at the world entrance passage: "These extraterrestrial demons know there's no hope, so they've given up on expanding the world entrance. I'll seal this entrance first, and after a while, the Great Chang World will heal this wound on its own."

As Master Zhang set up the sealing formation, the Human Emperor looked at Shi Mo and said, "Brother Shi Mo, you also cultivate the Divine Demon Body Refining lineage, right?"

“That’s right, it’s a cultivation method that I figured out and perfected myself,” Shi Mo nodded slightly, his casual answer surprising everyone around him.

Even Master Zhang couldn't help but turn and glance at him: "A self-created method? Or a divine and demonic body-refining method?"

"Are you a reincarnated immortal?" the Human Emperor asked curiously.

"I suppose so!" Shi Mo smiled noncommittally, leaving everyone looking at each other in confusion. Yes or no, what did he mean by "I suppose so"?
The group then began discussing the trouble again. Hong Jiu couldn't help but worry, saying, "It's a pity that the mysterious demon escaped. His body is a mortal body of a being from the Great Chang World, and it wouldn't be difficult for the demon god world behind him to send him back to the Great Chang World."

“He will definitely come again,” Master Zhang nodded slightly, while the Human Emperor and the others frowned.

Shi Mo laughed and said, "It's better if he comes again. Things don't happen more than three times. If we meet again, I won't give him another chance to escape."

Everyone looked at Shi Mo in silence, and then the Zhu family patriarch of the Hunyuan Sect, the family to which Zhu Ba belonged, who cultivated the physical body to become a saint, said: "He may have come directly through the cave heaven of the Nine Demon Veins, but we don't know which world is behind these demons?"

"The grotto-heaven of the Nine Demon Veins?" Qin Yun asked, somewhat puzzled.

The Human Emperor explained, "The lair of the Nine Demon Lineages each contains a hidden world. Inside, there are arrays that are constantly connected to the demon god world behind them, allowing them to cultivate by drawing on the power of another world. Many of the extraterrestrial demon gods behind these Nine Demon Lineages are from different worlds."

"To us, they are all extraterrestrial demons, and they also secretly fight among themselves. It is only because we have the advantage in the Great Chang World that they are relatively united," Master Zhang added.

Although the Nine Lineages of Demons and Monsters have a background, they are merely tentacles of the Demon God World infiltrating the Great Chang World. The native forces of the Great Chang World also have the lineages of Taoism and Buddhism, the lineage of gods and demons, as well as the Dragon Clan and the Heavenly Demon Palace.

"Let's not talk about that demon anymore. Qin Yun and Shi Mo can handle him, but the demon god world behind him is the real trouble."

Master Zhang shook his head and said, "However, it is not so easy for those extraterrestrial demons to infiltrate and invade our Great Chang World."

The Emperor glanced at the crowd and smiled, "Qin Yun and the others have made great contributions in resolving this calamity. According to the old rules, the Zhu family will be spared, as they have already been granted the title of King. As for Qin Yun and Hong Jiu, I will grant them the title of Marquis and bestow upon them a county as their fief. As for Shi Mo…"

As he spoke, the Human Emperor hesitated when he looked at Shi Mo. After all, no titles had ever been bestowed upon the demon race in the past, and the common people did not know about the relationship between the Heavenly Demon Palace and the human race. They naturally had no goodwill towards the demon race.

“Shi Mo belongs to our Heavenly Demon Palace, so naturally the Heavenly Demon Palace will not mistreat him,” said a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Palace.

The Emperor laughed and said, "Very well! But I can't leave it unsaid. Shi Mo, go to the Imperial Treasury and pick out what you need. The value should not exceed one top-grade magic weapon."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shi Mo's eyes lit up slightly. As the Human Emperor of the Great Chang World, there should be some good things in the imperial palace treasury, right?
However, since it is just a small world, there probably won't be anything surprising, so Shi Mo wasn't too much looking forward to it.

Next, everyone left, and Shi Mo went straight back to Jiushan Island to continue eating hot pot.

Afterwards, Shi Mo also made a special trip to the Heavenly Demon Palace and the Imperial Palace to receive the benefits he deserved. He also went to Guangling County to congratulate Qin Yun and Hong Jiu on their conferment of the title of Marquis.

However, Qin Yun's triumphant joy was soon followed by sorrow. The purple-robed demon who had quietly returned to the Great Chang World spared no effort and kidnapped Qin Yun's pregnant wife, who had to go to the Dragon Pool of the West Sea Dragon Palace to cultivate because she had awakened her dragon bloodline.

Upon hearing this, Shi Mo couldn't help but sigh. The Heavenly Demon Lord of the Demon God World was indeed extremely vengeful and ruthless.

If Shi Mo hadn't been free of all attachments, he probably wouldn't have escaped Shi Mo's revenge either.

In order to ask a powerful being at the Ancestral Dragon Realm to rescue his wife, Qin Yun not only diligently cultivated in hopes of creating a method to condense the primordial spirit of a sword immortal, but also tried every means to find spiritual treasures, because the price for the dragon clan's powerful being to help rescue his wife was a high-grade spiritual treasure.

Therefore, Qin Yun risked everything to have Master Zhang send him to other worlds to seize spiritual treasures.

As luck would have it, Qin Yun had just returned from an adventure in another world when he unexpectedly discovered the purple-robed god and demon.

Unfortunately, even after capturing Qin Yun and enlisting the help of Master Zhang and Bodhisattva Maha to interrogate him, they were ultimately unable to find out the whereabouts of Qin Yun's wife and daughter.

"Brother Shi Mo," Qin Yun, who had come all the way from Jiushan Island, was somewhat surprised to see Shi Mo greeting him with a smile. "It's been many years! I feel that Brother Shi Mo has changed a lot! It seems that Brother Shi Mo has made great progress in his years of dedicated cultivation and enlightenment. How come you haven't broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm yet?"

"I heard that Miss Yan Qiniang has already entered the Dao under Brother Shi Mo's guidance, and is about to break through and condense her primordial spirit, right?" Qin Yun asked in surprise and doubt.

"I haven't been cultivating for very long, so there's no rush," Shi Mo said with a casual smile. "Brother Qin Yun, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

"I captured that purple-robed demon not long ago, and now he is dead, so I specially brought his body to you, Brother Shi Mo," Qin Yun said, flipping his hand to take out the purple-robed demon's corpse.

It still had the form of a mountain, but it had shrunk considerably, and its aura was completely different. Clearly, after being tempered and refined by the purple-robed demon, it was no longer the same material. "What excellent material! Especially its stone core, which should be able to be forged into a decent divine weapon. Brother Qin Yun, you've put in a lot of effort," Shi Mo said with satisfaction, looking at the mountain-like form.

Qin Yun did not linger on Jiushan Island before leaving. He needed to continue his adventures and honing his skills in the Mingyao Great World so that he could collect a high-grade spiritual treasure as soon as possible to save his wife and daughter.

Shi Mo, on the other hand, began to study weapon crafting. He wanted to craft divine weapons and magical artifacts with growth potential, such as natal magic treasures and blood-refined divine weapons.

Shi Mo has cultivated his physical body to the point where it rivals that of magical treasures and divine weapons. Given his level of knowledge and understanding, it would naturally not be difficult for him to forge similar magical treasures and divine weapons.

Furthermore, Shi Mo combined the characteristics of various magical treasures and divine weapons to create magical treasures and divine weapons that were even more spiritual. He was able to use his understanding of the Dao to nurture the origin of the magical treasures and divine weapons, giving them better potential and growth.

Shi Mo even created puppets similar to the Yellow Turban Warriors and Guardian Generals of this world. They also had the potential to grow, but they were not real living beings; they had some characteristics of a Dharma body.

While Shi Mo was working on refining the weapon, Qin Yun's trip to the Mingyao Great World did not take long. After obtaining the spiritual treasure, he rushed back to the Dachang World.

Afterwards, Qin Yun used a high-grade spiritual treasure as payment to ask that Ancestral Dragon Realm being to find out the whereabouts of his wife, Yi Xiao. She was imprisoned in the cave of the Barbarian Ancestor Sect, one of the nine demonic lineages in the Great Chang World.

Therefore, Master Zhang and his group decided to take advantage of the opportunity when Qin Yunyong, a being from the Ancestral Dragon Realm, used the Great Teleportation Talisman to enter the Barbarian Ancestor Sect's cave to rescue Yi Xiao, and then work together from within and without to destroy the Barbarian Ancestor Sect.

A great battle is about to begin, but those who actually make a move are only the top experts of the Great Chang World, namely, the Ancestor Zhang, the Human Emperor, the Bai Family Ancestor of Lingbao Mountain, Maha Bodhisattva, the Heavenly Dragon of the East Sea, and the Heavenly Demon Lady of the Heavenly Demon Palace. Shi Mo and many other Yuan Shen Realm experts are unaware of this.

However, as Qin Yun went on a killing spree in the stronghold of the Barbarian Ancestor Sect, although the battle between the Celestial Immortals was isolated by the array, Shi Mo still sensed the subtle spatial fluctuations.

Although Shi Mo is still weak now, his previous level of understanding of cause and effect and destiny is very strong. In addition, he has a deep understanding of the Dao of this world and the Dao of space. He quickly sensed Qin Yun's move.

"Have they made their move?" Sensing the direction from which the subtle fluctuations came, Shi Mo, having some guesses, hurriedly left Jiushan Island and headed towards the Barbarian Ancestor Sect.

Outside the mountain gate of the Barbarian Ancestor Sect, the Divine Firmament Daoist Zhang and the others were waiting anxiously. Qin Yun could not damage the Barbarian Ancestor Sect's formation too much from the inside, and even the strongest Divine Firmament Daoist could not guarantee that breaking the formation would not harm or kill the mountain people living within the formation's range.

"Huh? Shi Mo? What brings you here?" Shenxiao Daoist and the Human Emperor were taken aback when they saw Shi Mo.

Shi Mo didn't say much. He looked ahead and carefully sensed the surroundings before stepping forward and throwing a punch at the void to his side.

A soft hum rippled through the void. Shi Mo's punch seemed weak, but its invisible power penetrated the barriers of space and the array's power, seeping into the array itself.

"This attack that penetrates space?" Shenxiao Daoist looked at Shi Mo with some surprise, clearly not expecting that his understanding of the Dao was so profound that it could even touch upon the spatial aspect.

Hearing the faint explosions emanating from within the formation, the Emperor and his companions, having recovered from their shock, were pleasantly surprised.

Next, Shi Mo, whose figure was like a phantom, made a series of attacks, seemingly casually striking the void, but explosions kept coming from within the formation.

Shenxiao Daoist, who was gathering and manipulating the power of lightning to penetrate into the formation, could clearly feel that as some of the formation's foundations were destroyed, the power of the Barbarian Ancestor Sect's mountain gate formation was weakening at a perceptible rate.

Finally, under the control of Shenxiao Daoren, the dazzling purple lightning tore through the layers of the Barbarian Ancestor Sect's formations, destroying everything in its path. However, the mortals within the formations were protected from the damage.

Within the Barbarian Ancestor Sect, the demons who had come to the Great Xia World from the rapidly expanding large world passage and were besieging Qin Yun also hurriedly retreated and formed a formation to protect the world passage.

From the Nascent Soul Realm demon gods down to the ordinary disciples, the Barbarian Ancestor Sect was filled with despair. Their sect's formation had been broken; the Barbarian Ancestor Sect was finished!
Shenxiao Daoist, Donghai Tianlong, Bai Family Ancestor, Maha Bodhisattva, and Tianyao Palace Master also formed a great formation, controlling the power of thunder to draw upon the power of heaven and earth, transforming it into even more terrifying thunder, which bombarded the fleeing demons.

Meanwhile, within the steadily expanding world passage, more demons clad in standard armor are also entering the Great Chang World.

The armor on those demon gods revealed interconnected secret patterns, and the surging power gathered together, reminding Shi Mo, who was watching the spectacle alongside the Human Emperor's energy avatar, of the Dao Soldier Armor.

With the help of their armor, dozens of demon gods from the Triple Heaven will join forces, reaching a whole new level of power.

At the same time, they formed a battle formation and wielded their standard-issue swords together. The sword light converged into a mountain of swords, colliding with the purple lightning that was bombarding down.

As the two sides remained locked in a stalemate, more demons flew out from the world passage protected by the array.
Just as the leader of the Barbarian Ancestor Cult and two other powerful demon gods at the third level were about to use spatial teleportation to escape, Shi Mo waved his hand and an invisible spatial fluctuation disrupted the ripples in the void.

"Hmph!" Shenxiao Daoist snorted coldly, also distracted by controlling a portion of the purple lightning to bombard them.

"Ah no!" The Barbarian Ancestor, who had already been injured in his previous fight with Qin Yun, let out a painful and unwilling roar. Then, he and the other two Barbarian Ancestors, who were at the third level of the Demon God realm, turned into ashes one after another in the purple lightning.

As for the other elders and disciples of the Barbarian Ancestor Sect, they were even more desperate, having no chance to escape.

More and more demons were pouring into the world passage, and the bombardment of purple lightning was gradually losing its effectiveness against them, making Qin Yun and Yi Xiao, the couple, feel a little nervous and worried.

However, Shi Mo remained calm. Shenxiao Daoren was a disciple of Lingbao Daozu, a powerful expert in the Heavenly Dao Realm. How could he only have such limited abilities?
Sure enough, as more and more demons entered, and the number exceeded one hundred, a middle-aged Taoist in a green robe suddenly appeared. He had the same appearance and aura as the Divine Firmament Taoist, and was clearly his second primordial spirit clone.

Shenxiao Daoist and his second primordial spirit joined forces to unleash an even more terrifying thunder array, which directly caused the array of swords formed by the demon gods below to collapse, killing more than ten demon gods in an instant.

The remaining demons were terrified and tried to escape back to the world passage, but in the end only one demon with the strength of a celestial demon escaped. The rest were either turned to ashes in the lightning or had their magic power sealed by strands of lightning penetrating their bodies.
