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

Zhong Bai's emergence from seclusion caused quite a stir, after all, he was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. Even within Maoshan, the number of those who have reached this level, whether current elders or those who have retired behind the scenes, is limited.

The fact that Maoshan has only had a dozen or so Primordial Spirit Ancestors over tens of thousands of years of history speaks volumes.

There are only a few dozen elders at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Of course, if it were an ordinary elder breaking through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, it wouldn't cause such a commotion. After all, Zhong Bai carries the hopes of the entire Maoshan sect.
The patriarchs of the Nine Heavens Longevity Palace couldn't wait for Zhong Bai to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, and then join forces with Longhu Mountain to directly occupy the Underworld, suppressing all the Demon Palaces and the Netherworld Ghost Palaces!
Then let Zhong Bai try to refine it. If he fails, then let Zhong Bai gradually master the fortune in the underworld. In short, all the elders and patriarchs of Maoshan and Longhushan who have reached the Nascent Soul stage or above are eager to break free from their shackles...

The allure of the Immortal Realm allows them to recklessly abandon the benefits of this world.

Crimson lightning bolts flashed around Zhong Bai. At his current level, even if Zhong Bai wasn't focusing all his attention on lightning techniques, he was confident that he could face several peak Nascent Soul cultivators with his abundant true essence.

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

"oh?

Mo'er's aura... she's also broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, truly a prodigy.

Zhong Bai chuckled to himself. If Mo Ling were compared to him, her cultivation speed was not very fast overall, even ten times slower than his. But that's not how you calculate it. Without the Demon Extermination Panel, Zhong Bai would never have been able to accumulate his cultivation so quickly.

A few years ago, when Zhong Bai and Mo Ling first met, Mo Lin was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. After a dual cultivation session that activated the Innate Yin Yuan Sacred Body, he entered the late-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Now, he has even stepped into the Divine Transformation realm. This has only been a few years, which can almost be described as a miracle!
Bringing his thoughts back, Zhong Bai took a step and arrived at the cave. At this moment, a group of Maoshan elders were already congratulating Mo Ling on breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. Of course, they also noticed that Zhong Bai had come out of seclusion.

"Zhong Bai, you're amazing!"

Elder Su Li, who had a slightly better relationship with Zhong Bai, spoke first, his eyes filled with genuine envy. You must know that Zhong Bai is not even a hundred years old yet, while Elder Su Li was already over two hundred years old when he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. This progress is not slow, belonging to the genius category. However, it took him a full eight hundred years to cultivate to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!

Zhong Bai covered the distance that had taken him eight hundred years in just a few decades, which is considered quite remarkable among the Maoshan elders present.

As one can imagine, the elders were astonished.

"Excellent, excellent! It's truly enviable. Elder Zhong, I never expected to have two happy events today. Not only has Elder Zhong broken through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but Miss Mo has also successfully reached the Nascent Soul stage. Her future is probably limitless!"

Everyone was praising him, but they all knew that Zhong Bai's future was beyond their prediction. The Nascent Soul realm had become the starting point, with no threshold whatsoever. The probability of him becoming a Loose Immortal in the future was not low, and he might even become a true immortal after the passage to the Earth Immortal Realm opened!
Upon hearing the praise from the elders, Zhong Bai cupped his hands in greeting to the elders from all directions and said, "Elders, you flatter me. I was just lucky. But thank you all for coming!"

Zhong Bai's words were just for fun; once they made up their minds, there was no going back. However, they didn't linger for long, exchanging pleasantries for a while before leaving Zhong Bai's cave.

Seeing that the elders had left, the door, which had been slightly closed, gradually opened a crack, and then Zhao Ling'er's delicate little eyes looked at Zhong Bai and Mo Ling.

When Zhao Ling'er saw Zhong Bai and Mo Ling, she could hardly believe it. Her husband and Sister Mo, whom she had missed for months, had really ended their seclusion, which meant that her lonely days were about to end.

"Husband, Sister Mo, it's only been two or three months, and your breakthroughs are already over?"

Regarding breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, although Zhao Ling'er had not cultivated to that level, she had heard some elders from Maoshan say that it usually takes three to five years for a cultivator to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

But when it came to her own sister Mo, the time was greatly shortened.

"Yes, I'm back, Ling'er!"

Mo Ling smiled and cast a gentle gaze upon Zhong Bai and Zhao Ling'er.

"Hahaha, ladies, let's go back to the courtyard and talk some more!"

The two naturally accepted Zhong Bai's suggestion and went directly to the inner courtyard.

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

"Little girl, do you miss your father?"

Zhong Bai held the little girl in his arms, his face beaming with a radiant smile. Zhong Ling, who was almost a year old, was incredibly adorable. Even Zhao Ling'er couldn't bear to part with her. Now that Zhong Bai hadn't seen the little girl for several months, he had to give her a good hug and some tenderness, and experience what it felt like to be a father.

As she slowly spun in the air, Zhong Ling felt somewhat helpless. Her body was still too young, and she had no room to resist. Moreover, a child under one year old couldn't speak, let alone refuse.

Of course, as Zhong Bai held the little girl and spun her around in the air, Zhong Ling felt a sweet warmth in her heart. This purest of emotions was something Zhong Ling could never experience in the Upper Realm...

"Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. This kind of life doesn't seem so bad. No pressure, no worries. Even in Heaven, it's a pretty good job, if I don't mind being reincarnated..."

This is Zhong Ling's inner monologue. As the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden of the Upper Realm, she has seen all kinds of immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court. Over time, everyone has become lifeless and wary of each other. Even she, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, cannot easily trust anyone.

Although I have an endless lifespan, my days are truly boring...

"My husband and Sister Mo are so amazing! I want to catch up with you in the future!"

This was Zhao Ling'er's self-encouragement. Zhong Bai and Mo Ling both felt that this was not difficult. Only the two of them knew the terror of the Nuwa bloodline after it was activated. It was only because the little girl needed Zhao Ling'er's care now, and the two of them were in seclusion, that Zhao Ling'er in front of them would have already broken through the barrier of the Golden Core stage.

Now that Mo Ling is back, it's perfect timing. We can entrust the little girl to her, and Zhao Ling'er can choose her own path to breakthrough.

Time is like a tissue in a teenager's hand, used up so quickly.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The entire ancient battlefield appeared unusually calm, and not even any demons left after the seal weakened. It seems they were afraid of being surrounded and killed last time. Of course, these demons will return sooner or later.

Kunlun.

"Alright, alright, Xuan Tianzong, stop urging me. I will keep my word. But remember, the Blood Demon is not so easy to deal with. Even if I could capture and kill it now, I would still need to spend time searching for its whereabouts."

Besides, you're not the only one who knows that I've come to this world..."

This made the Plague Demon angry. He thought he had escaped without anyone noticing, but it turned out that it was only the Taoist and Buddhist sects who had discussed and decided to let him go. This argument made the Plague Demon very depressed.

"Using one tiger to devour another..."

That's quite a clever plan!

Shaking his head, the Plague Demon knew he had no other way to go. The demon race, Buddhism, and Taoism turned a blind eye to bringing him into this world for only one reason: to use him to restrain the Blood Demon.

If I don't act soon, not only will the Xuantian Sect urge me, but I might not even survive.

Xuan Tianzong's gaze was somewhat cold. His patience was gradually wearing away as time went by. In fact, he understood what the Plague Demon was saying all too well.
It's just that they can't let go of the hatred deep in their hearts, and they place all their hopes on the plague demon.

"Plague Demon, hurry up..."

After Xuan Tianzong left, the Plague Demon looked at Dongfang Tiandi with a complicated expression.

"Mount Maoshan, Mount Longhu, and the Buddhist and demonic sects—you want me to be your sharp blade, to slice the Blood Demon piece by piece? Fate has already been decided. So be it..."

In an instant, the Plague Demon sighed heavily; he shouldn't have come to this realm in the first place. A few days later…

Under the incredulous gaze of Xuan Tianzong, the Plague Demon gradually stood up from his cross-legged position.

After giving the Xuan Tian Sect a complicated look, he laughed and said, "Let's go, Xuan Tian Sect, let's capture and kill the Blood Demon!"

"it is good!"

Since returning from the ancient battlefield, the already taciturn Xuntian Sect has become even more reluctant to speak, but their actions remain very clear.

"Plague Demon, how will you find the Blood Demon's trail?"

Upon hearing this question, the Plague Demon shook his head and laughed, "There are connections between demons."

Do you know why ancient battlefields are filled with malevolent energy?

In this world, it is not difficult to find a place with abundant malevolent energy, and since the Blood Demon is nourished by blood, the only place he can hide is the underground blood pool.

If I remember correctly, the last time the Blood Demon was born was in Kunlun, so the Blood Demon is not too far from Kunlun.

After all, to the west lies the Haotian Mirror of Mount Emei, and to the north it borders the Buddhist territory, as for the central region...

That's even more impossible. If the Blood Demon wants to remain undetected, it's most likely hiding near the Kunlun Mountains. With a little searching, finding it shouldn't be difficult!

In fact, the Plague Demon had already smelled the familiar scent; that stench belonged to the Blood Demon!

Searching southwards...

From the summit of the Kunlun Mountains to hundreds of miles away, the Xuantian Sect followed the Plague Demon in tacit agreement.

Until we came to a canyon...

"Such a thick aura of bloodlust!"
"Blood Demon, old friend, you wouldn't be hiding here, would you?"

The Plague Demon's lips twitched slightly, his desire to tear the Blood Demon to pieces was now completely uncontrollable.

Let alone the Plague Demon, even the Xuan Tian Sect would fight to the death if they encountered such a situation.

"Just wait for me here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Tianzong saw the Plague Demon disappear from his sight.

This is an underground world.

The stench of bones and flesh permeated the air, while elsewhere in the underground world lay an endless sea of ​​blood.

In the center of the sea of ​​blood, a giant skull radiates flames, its pupils seemingly piercing through the world.

"The aura of the Plague Demon!"

For a moment, Blood Demon became somewhat nervous, for he had betrayed Plague Demon back then.

Blood Demon originally thought that Plague Demon would die in the ancient battlefield sooner or later, but he never expected that the other party would survive, and that the aura of this party was no weaker than his own.

Hiding and concealing!
"Plague Demon, come forth!"

The Blood Demon was somewhat indignant. How could his territory be bullied?
With each roar of the Blood Demon, the entire underground world began to shake.

"The ghost will not rest!"
"Plague Demon, the founder of the Shu Mountain Sect who killed you back then, have you come here seeking revenge?"

Upon hearing these four words, the plague demon, which was already unable to restrain itself, instantly unleashed a dark green light that enveloped the earth.

Throughout the history of cultivators, this is the first time in thousands of years that the Blood Demon has received such an arrogant provocation.

In an instant, light fell upon the underground world. The Plague Demon and the Blood Demon met eyes unexpectedly, both aware of each other's presence.

"If you want revenge for what happened back then, then show me what you've got!"

The two sides collided without warning, like two asteroids colliding. The entire earth suddenly exploded, and countless cracks spread in all directions until they reached the Xuan Tian Sect.

At this moment, the Xuan Tian Sect was undoubtedly envious; such a battle was truly unique!
When the two demons at the Nascent Soul Realm clashed, the commotion was far greater than most people had anticipated.

A sea of ​​blood, nearly 10 feet in size, was condensing in the void. At the same time, the Plague Demon also transformed into a body ten thousand feet tall. The divine power of manifesting heaven and earth was the best way to solve the problem.

The moment the two sides clashed, Xuan Tianzong, who was originally planning to watch closely, was blown away by the aftershocks.

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

Emei.

The battle between the two Nascent Soul Realm demons naturally could not escape the Haotian Mirror of the White-Browed True Man.

Inside the main hall, Master Bai Mei remained silent. He knew a little about the reason why the Plague Demon had been released, but he had not expected that a conflict would arise so quickly.

Even the Plague Demon didn't take long to find the Blood Demon, something that even with the Haotian Mirror, it would be difficult for Master Bai Mei to do, unless he used the Haotian Mirror to investigate place by place, but obviously Master Bai Mei didn't have that kind of time.

"When dogs fight, they get hurt. Longhu Mountain's plan is interesting, but why make them kill each other when they could have wiped out both the Blood Demon and this Plague Demon in one fell swoop?"

Master Bai Mei couldn't understand this, after all, Longhu Mountain's strength was far superior to that of Emei. If they really wanted to make up their minds to annihilate the Blood Demon and the Plague Demon, it wouldn't be too difficult.

The most important issue is the unusual behavior of Longhushan and Maoshan in recent years.

In the past 1000 years, Longhu Mountain and Maoshan Mountain did not choose such a grand arrangement, but remained silent. However, in recent years, one thing after another has happened.

"Forget it, why bother thinking about these things?"

"Whatever Longhu Mountain and Maoshan want to do, even Emei can't stop them..."

Shaking his head, Master Bai Mei continued to observe the battle situation with his terrifying divine sense! (End of Chapter)
