Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 240 The Lord of Five Immortals Mountain
Wuxian Mountain is steep and rugged, with many deep ravines and secluded forests, and a mysterious atmosphere pervades it.

At this very moment, deep within the Five Immortals Mountain, in the Five Immortals Cave, the high-ranking members of the five major demon clans—fox, snake, rat, hedgehog, and weasel—have gathered together.

"Black Serpent, Five Immortals Mountain has only just settled down, yet you have been frequently driving away many demons during this time. What exactly are you trying to do? You should know that those human cultivators are not to be trifled with."

A demonic aura filled the air, and a yellow-skinned, white-bearded demon spoke. It was Huang San, the current patriarch of the weasel clan, who possessed the cultivation of a master of Qi Refining.

Upon hearing this, the black snake coiled on a stone chair opened its eyes. It was ten feet long, with a black back and white belly, and its body was surrounded by a cold aura.

"The human race has suppressed my Five Immortals Mountain for many years. Now that the human race is in turmoil, it is time for us to avenge our blood debt."

With a surge of demonic energy emanating from its body, the black snake made its stance clear.

Sensing this aura, the other four demon clan leaders all changed color.

"You've reached the peak of Qi Refining?"

Looking at the black snake, all the demons present showed astonishment.

They knew the black snake quite well; it was the green snake's right-hand man and, like the original yellow snake, possessed the cultivation level of Qi Refining Great Completion. But even so, according to their estimation, the black snake was unlikely to reach the Qi Refining Perfection stage, since that final step was not easy to cross.

Sensing the surprise of the demons, the black snake revealed a slight smile.

"That's right, I have indeed reached the peak of Qi Refining."

With a grin spreading across its lips, the black snake's gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on Huang San, revealing its immense power.

Upon seeing this, Huang San, who had originally spoken, immediately fell silent; strength was the only truth.

With the disappearance of the Green Snake and its prolonged absence, and the unexpected death of the Yellow Snake, who had achieved the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, the Green Snake Palace's position within the Five Immortal Mountains was already somewhat shaken. However, now that the Black Snake has advanced to the Perfection of Qi Refining, everything is naturally different again.

At that moment, the fox demon clan chief, who had remained silent all along, spoke. Its fur was crimson, but it was blind in one eye, and an invisible aura of malevolence surrounded it.

“Our five clans have a long-standing alliance. Even if you have now advanced to the Qi Refining Perfection stage, you should not act recklessly.”

"You are not qualified to represent Wuxian Mountain yet."

His voice was deep, and the red fox exuded a powerful aura that suppressed the black snake's aura.

Upon noticing this change, all the demons present were immediately alarmed.

In the Five Immortal Mountains, although the five immortal demon clans stand side by side in name, the most powerful have always been the snake demon clan and the fox demon clan, because they have always had Qi Refining Perfection experts in charge. The other three demon clans are not so stable, and most of the time their strongest members are only Qi Refining Great Completion experts.

Although the Black Serpent has now advanced to the peak of Qi Refining, it is still no match for the Red Fox in terms of strength.

"Damn it..."

Sensing the extremely violent aura of the Red Fox, the Black Snake couldn't help but feel resentful. Although it had successfully advanced to the peak of Qi Refining with the help of the Green Snake, its foundation was weak after all, and it had been forcibly improved through a secret method. It was still far inferior to a veteran Qi Refining peak cultivator like the Red Fox.

But at that moment, an invisible force spread out, like a gentle spring breeze and rain, silently dissipating the red fox's violent aura.

"It's not good enough, can I be?"

With a hoarse, emotionless voice, Lady Qinghua slowly entered the Five Immortals Cave. As Lady Qinghua approached, all the demons present felt an invisible pressure, as if a heavy stone were pressing on their hearts, and none dared to look directly at her.

"this···"

The more it resisted, the heavier the pressure became on the Red Fox's mind. Although it was a veteran Qi Refining Perfection cultivator, it still felt very powerless at this moment.

"The Foundation of the Dao".

Realizing something, the anger in Red Fox's heart completely dissipated, and she instantly lowered her head.

Previously, it was suspected that a spiritual treasure had been born in the Five Immortals Mountain, and it had suspected that it had fallen into the hands of the Green Snake. The disappearance of the Green Snake intensified its suspicions. However, it never expected that the Green Snake would actually succeed in establishing a Dao Foundation. It should be noted that the Five Immortals Mountain had not produced a great demon with a Dao Foundation for hundreds of years.

Although spiritual treasures are essential for building a foundation for the Dao, having spiritual treasures does not guarantee that one can build a foundation for the Dao; the possibility of failure remains extremely high.

"From now on, I shall be the master of this Five Immortals Mountain. Does anyone have any objections?"

She walked gracefully to her seat and sat down in the main seat. Lady Qinghua said something as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

Upon hearing this, all the demons present felt a chill run down their spines, but none dared to utter a word of objection. Although Lady Qinghua did not deliberately display her power, it was precisely this understated nature that made her all the more terrifying.
Previously, Lady Qinghua was already an undisputed powerhouse on Mount Wuxian, with only the Red Fox able to contend with her. Now, she seems to have become even more terrifying.

Thinking of this, the demons couldn't help but turn their gaze to the red fox.

If anyone is going to object, it would probably be the Red Fox clan, which represents the fox demon race. If the Red Foxes are willing to step forward, the others might agree to join in, depending on the situation.

Just as the demons were waiting for the Red Fox to voice its objection, the Red Fox was the first to bow deeply.

"Your Majesty possesses profound virtue and is truly the celestial ruler of our Five Immortals Mountain."

Prostrating himself in humility, the Red Fox appeared remarkably humble, showing none of the arrogance he once possessed as the leader of his clan.

The other demons were all taken aback by the sight of the red fox.

Of course, they weren't stupid. Seeing the red fox do this, they immediately realized that things might not be as simple as they thought, and a somewhat absurd idea popped into their minds.

Normally, they wouldn't even entertain this thought, but now only by doing this and that could they understand why the red fox would immediately bow down in worship.

"We are willing to venerate Your Majesty as the master of the Five Immortals Mountain."

Without further hesitation, everyone knelt down.

Seeing this, Qinghua's face showed a hint of regret. She had originally wanted to establish her authority, but these guys all knelt down quickly enough, not giving her the chance at all.

"Soon, a beast tide will rise at Blackwater Dock and attack the four southern prefectures. What you need to do is to unite the demons of Five Immortals Mountain, wreak havoc in Qingyuan Prefecture, and coordinate with Blackwater Dock."

With a solemn expression, Lady Qinghua gave the order. At this moment, she no longer deliberately concealed her Dao Foundation cultivator aura. In an instant, all the vegetation withered, and the entire Five Immortals Cave seemed to be grasped in the hand of an invisible giant.

Upon hearing this and sensing the power of the Blue Flower Goddess, the demons immediately bowed and prostrated themselves.

Thinking of Lady Qinghua's plan, the demons were greatly excited. They would cooperate with Blackwater Dock from within and without. If everything went smoothly, they might be able to sweep through the four prefectures this time. At that time, they would all reap considerable benefits.
