This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Hearing his three senior brothers' words of comfort, Li Yingqi felt a little better.

However, I still feel guilty...

"Junior Sister, the most urgent matter is not about who is right and who is wrong. Since the Shushan Ancestor was able to seal it, it means that the escaped demon is actually a Nascent Soul Realm being. We should leave this place as soon as possible!"

After one of the Emei disciples finished speaking, the other two Emei disciples also looked serious.

Li Yingqi understood that his three senior brothers were right, so he didn't dwell on it. The four of them quickly fled in a distant direction.

......................................................

The surrounding area was filled with malevolent energy; in the past, no living beings had ever come here, and all things were swallowed up by nothingness.

Until the lights flash!

Four soul-guiding lamps were placed in four directions to dispel the evil energy within a radius of several thousand meters.

Zhong Bai walked ahead, followed by three Nascent Soul disciples from Maoshan and four people from Longhu Mountain.

As they were moving forward, a streak of light flashed across the sky not far away.

The streak of light rushed straight towards Zhong Bai and his group, then crashed onto the ground in front of them with a loud bang.

A bottomless pit appeared, and at the same time, streaks of sword energy shot out.

Zhong Bai was somewhat surprised, as were the people behind him.

"Junior Brother Zhong Bai, what's this?"

Zhong Bai took a deep breath and shook his head.

"It's not very clear, but it has no signs of life, so it's probably not a living thing. Perhaps it's a spirit sword that has descended to earth."

Zhong Bai could probably make a guess.

Without fear, his powerful physique, imbued with terrifying blood energy, pressed down on the overwhelming sword energy, instantly restoring calm to the surrounding world where sword energy had been rampant.

"Three senior brothers, fellow Daoists from Longhu Mountain, let us go forward and take a look!"

The group arrived at the pit.

Looking down, one could see a jet-black longsword stuck straight up in the center of the deep pit.

"Primordial Spirit Treasure!"

Almost simultaneously, their gazes turned fervent.

Everyone here knows their stuff, so they naturally recognized the grade of this spirit sword that appeared out of nowhere.

Although they were tempted, no one stepped forward.

“Junior Brother Zhong Bai, the primordial spirit treasure is unfathomable. If it had not been summoned and was in a dormant state, we could still get close. But now, I'm afraid that if we get close, we will be covered by thousands of sword energies. Although it is a supreme treasure, it can only be you, Junior Brother, who can try to take it into your possession.”

They were very clear about their own abilities. Take the sword energy that filled the sky just now, for example. Even though it was thousands of meters away, the sharp sword energy still made them feel terrified. And that was only around the spirit sword. The impact they would face the moment they actually grasped the spirit sword would be even more terrifying!
Although the primordial spirit treasure is good, one must be alive to obtain it.

Therefore, they all turned their attention to Zhong Bai, to see if he could subdue the spirit sword.

Zhong Bai didn't stand on ceremony. There was no need to be coy. Besides, what his fellow disciples and senior brothers from Longhu Mountain said made sense. No one else could try it except him.

Streams of qi and blood surged out from Zhong Bai's body.

"The Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth, my fundamental root, cultivated for thousands of eons, and proved my magical power..."

With the Golden Light Divine Incantation cast simultaneously, Zhong Bai's defenses were now at their maximum.

He leaped down and quickly approached the spirit sword.

Looking at the jet-black sword, Zhong Bai suddenly reached out and gripped it. In an instant, countless sword energies surged out, and the sound of metal cutting through the void spread—it was the collision of flesh and blood…

At this moment, the spirit sword in Zhong Bai's hand was trembling, as if it possessed intelligence, constantly trying to break free from Zhong Bai's control.

Whoosh!
The spirit sword pierced through the void, and Zhong Bai was carried into the void as well.

But just as he took off, with Zhong Bai's veins bulging and his terrifying power unleashed, his entire body landed steadily in an instant, his legs sinking into the ground, his right arm gripping the sword tightly until the struggling spirit sword stopped trembling.

Just like an ordinary sword...

Seeing that Zhong Bai had actually managed to subdue the spirit sword, the group was undoubtedly delighted.

After storing it in his Qiankun Ring, the dense sweat on Zhong Bai's forehead gradually dissipated.

What seemed easy just now was actually a terrifying thing for the person involved. Even when Zhong Bai used all his strength, he could only barely suppress it. However, the owner of the spirit sword must have perished, otherwise the resistance would have been even stronger!

Just then, several figures approached them from not far away...

The Nascent Soul disciples of Maoshan and Longhushan discovered it in an instant.

Although vigilant, I was not afraid.

After all, everyone who comes knows each other...

"Why are the Emei disciples back again?"

This is the source of Zhang Zhiwei's confusion.

After all, Li Yingqi, one of the Emei disciples, was a restless person with high aspirations. He left with three other Emei disciples before Zhong Bai could separate the dragon and phoenix essence blood.

Now they were back before them, their faces as pale as paper, their pupils filled with fear and unease.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is trouble.

At the same time, it would be a lie to say that the Emei group was not overjoyed when they saw Zhong Bai and the Maoshan disciples from Longhu Mountain. After fleeing all the way, seeing Zhong Bai and the others was like seeing hope.

"Why are you fellow Daoists from Emei in such a hurry? Have you encountered a problem?"

A fellow disciple from Maoshan stepped forward to inquire about Zhong Bai's situation.

Upon hearing this, the other party made no attempt to hide anything.

"The situation is somewhat tricky for the fellow Daoists from Maoshan and Longhushan."

We mistakenly entered a sealed land, and a demon broke the seal and escaped..."

"So that's how it is. I wonder what kind of evil spirit it is?"

Although I already had a guess in my mind, I still had to ask the questions clearly.

With a soft sigh, the Emei disciple replied, "Most likely at the Nascent Soul Realm!"

Upon hearing this, the previously calm crowd immediately frowned.

How could a demon at the Nascent Soul Realm be released so easily?

The way Zhong Bai and the others looked at Emei and the others became meaningful.

Just then, a dark green mist began to rise from the sky.

In a short while, the surroundings were enveloped by wisps of dark green mist.

"Jiejiejie...

"That little girl runs so fast! It was hard for me to find her!"

A sinister laugh rang in everyone's ears, and the Emei disciples instantly turned pale, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. Li Yingqi frowned deeply, and his Heavenly Strike Sword was already drawn.

When Zhong Bai and the disciples of Longhu Mountain heard this voice, they knew that the other party had come looking for them.

Demons at the Nascent Soul Realm...

"Everyone, be careful!"

Zhong Bai took a deep breath. Among everyone present, only he was capable of clashing with this Nascent Soul Realm demon.

He leaped into the void, his gaze fixed on the point where dark green mist was gathering.

There, an aged figure slowly approached, his steps unhurried, yet the aura emanating from him was terrifying. "Unexpectedly, there's been an unexpected gain. What a wonderful cultivator! Delicious blood!"

The Plague Demon looked at Zhong Bai and the group of people behind him with eyes full of greed.

The opponent was a primordial spirit, and Zhong Bai was well aware of the enormous gap between them.

Without further ado, the blood and qi in his body surged out like a tide, and in an instant, a scorching aura spread outwards throughout the world.

The Plague Demon also noticed this scene.

"What an amazing physique!"

The Plague Demon originally came to possess Li Yingqi's body and then leave the ancient battlefield.

but now……

He changed his mind; Zhong Bai's body was like a priceless treasure to him.

"The laws of heaven and earth!"

As soon as Zhong Bai finished speaking, his body began to expand rapidly, from a hundred feet to a thousand feet... until it surged to nine thousand feet!
The feeling of having that power under one's control was truly intoxicating. Zhong Bai frowned slightly as he looked at the Plague Demon below, whose expression remained calm.

"Die, you damned monk!"

As the palm struck, its immense size magnified in the Plague Demon's eyes.

The plague demon, which they had previously disregarded, now had to take it seriously.

Having just broken free from its seal, the Plague Demon, though a demon at the Nascent Soul Realm, had not yet returned to its peak state. Faced with Zhong Bai's powerful "Heaven and Earth Manifestation" ability right from the start, the dark green mist around the Plague Demon rapidly condensed, and then the Plague Demon's Dharma Image rose from behind it, a Dharma Image ten thousand feet tall, even taller than Zhong Bai's "Heaven and Earth Manifestation".

The collision of the two Dharma images unleashed a devastating impact that spread outwards.

Behind Zhong Bai, the Maoshan and Longhushan disciples knew that there was no point in them staying, as it would only distract Zhong Bai, so they all retreated hastily.

The Emei disciples who chose to watch were all blown away by the shockwave alone.

The energy and blood in his body were still burning, and Zhong Bai felt an exhilarating sensation.

The collision between Dharma forms is the purest, although at the moment of collision, Zhong Bai's Dharma Heaven and Earth Transformation supernatural power trembled a little.

After all, his was a supernatural power, while the other party's was a genuine Dharma form!

"That's truly a brilliant tactic!"
"To act so arrogantly before me, you are the first among those in the Nascent Soul realm!"

The Plague Demon also became interested. The divine power displayed by the young cultivator in front of him was so exquisite that even he, a Nascent Soul cultivator, found it difficult to break through it.

Zhong Bai remained silent, focusing solely on burning his vital energy, before unleashing another punch...

The two Dharma images clashed continuously in the void, and as time went on, Zhong Bai began to falter.

After all, he relies on his qi and blood to maintain the supernatural power of "Law of Heaven and Earth," but the qi and blood in his body are limited, unlike a true primordial spirit realm expert whose Dharma form is naturally formed and inexhaustible.

Feeling that his fellow disciples and fellow Daoists from Longhu Mountain had already moved far away, Zhong Bai also began to consider leaving.

Before him, the Kui Niu Drum appeared, growing larger as it materialized, while the Thunder Spirit Orb surged with bolts of lightning into Zhong Bai's palm.

With the blessing, the Kui Niu Drum shone even brighter, and a drumbeat resounded all around. Thunderbolts rained down from the sky. Taking this opportunity, Zhong Bai's Dharma form instantly dissipated, and he fled on his sword!

The lightning enveloped the Plague Demon, and its once towering form began to crack inch by inch. Only after the lightning dissipated did the Plague Demon scan the void.

Where is Zhong Bai now?
However, the plague demon was not in a hurry.

With a faint smile, he channeled his inner magic, and his Dharma form, which was on the verge of collapse, was restored to its original state.

"That's interesting..."

However, since this person possesses the Thunder Spirit Pearl, he is most likely from Maoshan. Although I want your body, I'd better not offend Maoshan.

The most urgent matter is to leave the ancient battlefield and settle accounts with the Blood Demon!

Yes, the plague demon gave up.

It must be admitted that Zhong Bai's physical body was very tempting, but the moment the Dharma bodies touched, the Plague Demon sensed an impending crisis.

It seemed as if a pair of eyes were watching him closely, and if he dared to truly harm Zhong Bai, the entity behind him would descend.

Therefore, the plague demon did not pursue...

As for the hatred with the Blood Demon, that's a long story.

A hundred miles away, Zhong Bai felt his true energy rapidly depleting and had no choice but to stop flying on his sword and fall from the void.

Meanwhile, his fellow disciples from Maoshan and Daoist friends from Longhu Mountain were already waiting.

Seeing Zhong Bai return safely, the group breathed a sigh of relief.

......................................................

Longhu Mountain.

Located thousands of miles away from the ancient battlefield between the two realms, deep within the forbidden area of ​​Longhu Mountain, a group of Longhu Mountain's patriarchs were staring at the illusory image in front of them, which was a view of the entire ancient battlefield.

“Great Ancestor, the number of demons that have revived in this ancient battlefield is increasing.”

A primordial spirit ancestor spoke, and the ancestor he mentioned was the most senior ancestor of Longhu Mountain, a genuine wandering immortal!
The dozen or so patriarchs of Longhu Mountain present all turned their gazes toward the old man.

The Great Ancestor of Longhu Mountain smiled faintly.

"The resurgence of demons was to be expected. Currently, demons at the Nascent Soul stage have already resurfaced, and in the future, even those at the Loose Immortal stage..."

However, you can rest assured that the seal on this ancient battlefield was set up by the Ancestor, and every move is under the Ancestor's control, so nothing can go wrong.

The most urgent task is to cooperate with Maoshan to open up the passage between the two realms.

Everyone fell silent, their thoughts racing, while their gazes were all fixed on Zhong Bai in the virtual image.

"Speaking of which, Zhong Bai from Maoshan is truly extraordinary. At less than a hundred years old, he can even fight against demons at the Nascent Soul Realm."

Even if they cannot win, their talent and courage far surpass those of ordinary disciples.

After a master from Longhu Mountain finished speaking, a look of envy gradually appeared in his eyes.

Perhaps this is the neighbor's child...

Of course, while everyone admired him, they also understood that Zhong Bai must be someone special since he was chosen by the Four Ancestors of Maoshan.

"Was that the Plague Demon that was exchanging blows with Zhong Bai just now?"
The old demon sealed by the two old guys from Mount Shu using the essence of flesh and blood can currently only exert the strength of the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Should we bombard it?

A master offered a suggestion, but it was quickly rejected.

"That won't be necessary..."

Don't forget, the Plague Demon and the Blood Demon seem to have some grudges, and the Nether Spring Blood Demon is good at hiding. Unless a rogue immortal like the Great Ancestor takes action, it is extremely difficult to kill it completely.

Letting the Plague Demon be born to meet the Blood Demon would save us some trouble.

As for the other resurrected demons, I wonder if Dao Xuan and the other nine will be able to capture them all!

"That's pretty much it. Of the nine of them, six are at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, leaving behind more than enough demons who are only at the early or mid-stage of the Nascent Soul stage."

Meanwhile, outside the ancient battlefield.

Tianning Shangren and the others were also aware of the resurgence of the Yuan Shen realm demons in the ancient battlefield.

But now is not the time...

The restrictions on the ancient battlefield will be lifted in a month, at which time powerful beings at the Primordial Spirit level will be allowed to enter, and they will then carry out the cleanup!
