Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 612 Daoist and Demonic Alliance Join Forces (Please Subscribe)

Shen Xuan's mind stirred.

A geographical jade slip flew out.

It was marked as a demonic space in a canyon in the Yan Kingdom.

The Demon Lord Wanmeng was imprisoned there for seven years.

Inside, there is not only a black water demon dragon, but also a very powerful flaming firebird.

When Demon Lord Mingyu was temporarily residing on Starshine Island, Shen Xuan inquired about her.

That fiery bird possessed a trace of the divine bird phoenix's bloodline.

The demonic fire it spewed out was incredibly powerful.

Even the Taiyin Profound Water, which the Demon Lord Mingyu had painstakingly refined, could not suppress it.

As a late-stage Saint Pill Demon Lord, Mingyu could only flee in disarray with Demon Lord Wanmeng and four others.

"If the Taiyin Profound Water can't suppress it, then what about my Ice Soul Spirit Crystal?"

Shen Xuan pondered in his heart.

The five elements interact in a cycle of mutual generation and restraint; using ice to overcome fire is the correct approach.

Each Ice Soul Crystal is a condensed version of a thousand-foot-tall iceberg.

It contains extremely refined and pure icy energy.

It took Shen Xuan nearly half of his core essence to refine an Ice Soul Crystal.

He refined over a thousand of these Ice Soul Crystals.

"As long as they can be effective, such a number should be enough to suppress the Flaming Firebird's demonic fire."

The Primordial True Water is extremely rare.

The secret realm of Lingxi Fairy Forest in Yue Kingdom is a must-visit.

Now, he has perfected his fire magic.

It's the perfect time to refine the Fiery Bird, plunder the Phoenix Fire Spirit Body, and build a superior Dao Foundation.

"The rest of the matters are fine. But the Yan Kingdom..."

What Shen Xuan was most worried about was the attitude of the Yan Kingdom's sects towards him.

"As long as the Nascent Soul True Monarch doesn't take action, there's no need to worry too much."

After breaking through his cultivation level, Shen Xuan's status within the sect rose, and he gradually learned about the situation of high-level cultivators.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch is the pillar of a sect and will not easily make a move.

Reaching the Nascent Soul stage allows one to touch upon the laws of heaven and earth.

Their every move will generate karmic consequences and lead to heavenly tribulations.

Random killing will create karmic burdens, clouding one's resolve and eroding one's cultivation.

Its power increases exponentially when the heavenly tribulation arrives, but it is rejected by the Heavenly Dao and is killed.

Furthermore, there is a divine will at work, and the cycle of cause and effect.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch's unintentional move might involve grudges and affections, leading to his death.

Now that they have condensed their Nascent Souls and become the supreme beings of this sect, they are naturally unwilling to become mere pawns.

The real opponents are the Heavenly Dao and other Nascent Soul cultivators.

For them, every move is a huge gamble that requires sufficient returns to compensate.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more adept one becomes at knowing how to protect oneself.

Every action carries the risk of revealing one's true intentions, creating karmic consequences, and increasing negative karma.

Therefore, a delicate balance is maintained among high-level cultivators such as humans, demons, sea creatures, and demonic cultivators in the Xuan Yuan Realm.

Nascent Soul cultivators will not easily take action unless absolutely necessary.

Their actions could trigger a chain reaction, disrupt the balance between different races, lead to large-scale wars, and cause the situation to spiral out of control.

In that case, the Xuan Yuan Realm will be plunged into war and chaos, and no one will be able to remain unscathed.

For this reason, high-level cultivators in the Xuan Yuan Realm follow the default rules.

Nascent Soul cultivators are not allowed to act recklessly, killing True Immortals, Demon Lords, and Monster Kings.

During the Yan-Song War, the Song state's sect suffered a complete defeat, with the Yan state's sect attacking them all the way to the core area of ​​their territory.

Nevertheless, the Nascent Soul True Lord of the Song Kingdom sect remained steadfast.

Even in the most critical situations, only Golden Core cultivators from the sects were mobilized.

After much deliberation, Shen Xuan finally decided to head to the Demon Realm of Yan Kingdom.

……

Deep in a great canyon in the State of Yan.

The sun was blazing high, yellow sand was flying, and the wind was howling.

This place is sparsely populated.

There is no water source nearby, and the area is full of barren hills.

It has no spiritual energy whatsoever.

In the eyes of cultivators, this canyon is a place devoid of spiritual energy.

Shen Xuan disguised himself as a solitary elderly cultivator and leisurely arrived at this place on an old flying boat.

"According to the geographical jade slip, the entrance to the Demon Realm is nearby."

Shen Xuan released his divine sense and perception to observe the surrounding environment.

"Huh, what a coincidence? I actually ran into a cultivator here?"

Moreover, there are quite a few of them.

Shen Xuan quickly concealed himself and became invisible.

Soon, a sect's spaceship sped past him.

There were three real people on the spaceship deck: two men and one woman.

"The True Meaning Sect's spaceship?"

"Why is she here?"

After the spaceship passed.

Shen Xuan revealed himself, gazing thoughtfully at the back of the spaceship.

Just now, the Jurchen on the spaceship deck was none other than Mu Ling'er, with whom I had once spent a warm and loving time.

Fifty years have passed.

Mu Ling'er condensed her inner core.

Although it's a fake pill, it's still pretty good.

Mu Ling'er is a formation master.

Third-tier array masters are highly valued and protected in any sect.

It must be said that the Mu family, a powerful and prestigious clan, possesses a rich and profound heritage.

In Shen Xuan's opinion, the fake core that Mu Ling'er condensed was somewhat watery and of average quality.

It's likely that some rare and precious natural materials were used to forcibly condense the pill.

Shen Xuan vaguely remembered the man next to Mu Ling'er.

Xu Ningtie, the Core Formation seed of the Xu family of the True Meaning Sect.

Now, he is a true immortal.

Shen Xuan had no recollection of the True Core cultivator standing in the very center, whose face was resolute and whose eyes were sharp.

I probably haven't seen it before.

"Ugh, this is such a hassle!"

This time, Shen Xuan came to explore the Demon Realm alone.
If that Flaming Firebird is powerful.

With the Immortal Ice Lotus and the Ice Soul Crystal protecting him, escaping safely would not be a problem.

If you want to protect others, you'll have to put in more effort.

Mu Ling'er and he had a very close relationship.

Now that we've encountered her, we should at least protect her.

"This girl is still so naive, she doesn't know her own limitations!"

A mere fake Core Formation cultivator actually ventured into the Demon Realm.

It has to be said that Mu Ling'er was protected too well by the Mu family.

They are too bold and unaware of the wickedness of human nature.

Shen Xuan transformed into a streak of azure light and quietly followed the True Meaning Sect's spaceship.

After a stick of incense.

The True Meaning Sect's spaceship came to a stop in an open area.

Ahead, a black magic ship was moored.

The three demon lords stood in a line, waiting for a long time.

The demon lord in the center said, "Fellow Daoist Xuanyi, you are late."

"It's not late. You've arrived early." The True Elixir Master of the True Meaning Sect stepped forward and replied.

After exchanging a few pleasantries and introducing themselves, the two sides made their own introductions.

The True Meaning Sect's side consists of True Man Xuan Yi, True Man Tie Zhu, and Fairy Qing Ling.

On the Demon Sect's side were the Dark Night Demon Lord, the Ink Dust Demon Lord, and the Thousand Peaks Demon Lord from the Yin Sha Sect.

Shen Xuan, who was secretly observing, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he saw the Thousand Peaks Demon Lord.

Therefore, the secrets of heaven are difficult to predict.

Don't get involved in cause and effect lightly.

The Demon Lord of Thousand Peaks has undergone some changes in appearance.

However, the aura emanating from him cannot be faked.

And then there's that familiar Serpent Demon Bow.

Shen Xuan recognized the man as Ling Zhenfeng, his former classmate.

"Ah Feng is lucky; he actually condensed a true core!"

The process of a demonic cultivator condensing their core is far more dangerous than that of a Taoist sect or esoteric sect.

The chances of success are even smaller.

At the Foundation Establishment stage, demonic cultivators are significantly stronger than spiritual cultivators of the same level.

After forming the Golden Core, the Demon Lord's combat power was actually inferior to that of a True Person of the same level because the quality of the inner core was generally low.

The True Meaning Sect and the Yin Sha Sect each have three members, and their strengths are roughly equal.

This is also the basis for cooperation between the two parties.

Cooperation is only possible when forces are evenly matched.

Master Xuanyi and Demon Lord Anye discussed for a while.

Two trusted disciples departed in their spaceship.

The six of them continued on their journey.

At an unremarkable bend in a canyon.

Mu Ling'er stopped in her tracks.

"arrive."

After speaking, Mu Ling'er activated a third-tier talisman.

A layer of golden light protected her.

The Dark Night Demon Lord asked, "Fairy Qingling, what is the meaning of this?"

"When the entrance to the Demon Realm is forcibly opened, not only will it be filled with turbid demonic energy and filth, but various demonic beasts may also appear."

Mu Ling'er said calmly.

"I see. That makes sense."

The Dark Lord summoned a demonic umbrella and lightly suspended it above his head.

A black, one-horned dragon was coiled on the umbrella surface, baring its fangs and claws, lifelike and solid.

"Senior Brother Dark Night's Demonic Dragon Umbrella is getting more and more powerful. This unicorn dragon's soul must have been completely refined by now."

Ling Zhenfeng said with an envious look.

Clearly, the Dark Night Demon Lord's Demon Dragon Umbrella weapon is of extraordinary power.

Although Demon Lord Mo Chen didn't speak, his face also showed envy.

Master Xuanyi glanced at the Demon Dragon Umbrella, said nothing, approached Mu Ling'er, and silently activated his protective spiritual shield.

Master Tiezhu kept a distance and remained vigilant.

"It's alright. This one-horned dragon is only a mid-grade third-tier, which is a bit lacking."

The Dark Lord said with a hint of regret.

He didn't notice the cold smile in Mo Chen's eyes.

"Alright, everyone be careful, I'm about to open the entrance to the Demon Realm."

The voice just fell.

Mu Ling'er summoned nine array flags of different colors, shimmering with brilliant spiritual light, and inserted them into the earthen wall according to the nine-palace layout.

"Yin and Yang transform, the Nine Palaces unite, open!"

The nine spirit flags slowly rotated.

The surface of the earthen wall gradually caved inward, turning into nothingness.

Soon, a vortex appeared and gradually expanded.

The scene of the Demon Realm is faintly revealed inside.

"Ling'er's array formation skills have improved considerably, even surpassing Xiaoyuehu's."

"Judging from her clothes and appearance, it seems that she is not married."

"Xu Ningtie has always kept his distance from her."

"It seems that the marriage between Mu and Xu has fallen through."

Shen Xuan, who was concealing his presence, saw this scene and thought to himself.

At this moment, Xuan Yi Zhenren and An Ye Mozun exchanged a glance.

"I'll go in first and lead the way for everyone."

After saying that, the Dark Night Demon Lord, holding the Demon Dragon Umbrella, transformed into a streak of black light and flew away.

Xu Ningtie followed closely behind.
Next came Ling Zhenfeng and Xuan Yi Zhenren.

Demon Lord Mo Chen stood still, seemingly hesitating for a few moments.

Finally, after glancing at Mu Ling'er who was maintaining the formation, he silently flew inside.

Mu Ling'er was unaware.

Shen Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

"This Demon Lord Mo Chen harbors ill intentions."

"He is clearly at the mid-stage of the Demon Core realm, but he pretends to be at the early stage. His true combat strength is no weaker than that of the Dark Night Demon Lord."

"Sigh, demonic cultivators are demonic cultivators. Expecting them to unite and cooperate is truly absurd!"

Shen Xuan didn't understand why the three True Immortals of the True Intent Sect wanted to cooperate with the Demon Lord of the Yin Sha Sect.

It seems that even within the True Meaning Sect, there are numerous factions and fierce competition.

"Forget it, the truth will come out in a few days, no need to think about it too much."

At this moment, Mu Ling'er put away the nine spirit flags and flew into the vortex before it disappeared.

Shen Xuan concealed himself and followed closely behind.

……

"Such dense demonic energy!"

As soon as the Dark Night Demon Lord entered the Demon Realm, he greedily took a few deep breaths.

Beneath the eerie, dark red sky, hangs a blood-red demonic sun.

The sunlight offered no warmth, but instead brought a chill.

In sight.

The mountains are rugged, with strange rocks everywhere, rare magical trees, and rotting corpses everywhere.

The entire Demon Realm was deathly still and the atmosphere was oppressive.

After Mu Ling'er came in.

Master Xuanyi said, "Fellow Daoist Anye, what about the Xuan Yin Demon Water that we agreed on beforehand?"

Upon hearing this, the Dark Night Demon Lord smiled slightly: "I've been prepared for this for a long time."

With a flick of his sleeve.

A black magic bottle flew to Xuan Yi Zhenren's front.

“Fellow Daoist Xuanyi, don’t underestimate this magic bottle. Inside is a pool of Xuan Yin Demon Water, which is enough to deal with that Flaming Firebird.”

Master Xuanyi opened the bottle.

A faint fragrance wafted out, like the scent of osmanthus blossoms in September.

After scanning with his divine sense, True Person Xuanyi nodded slightly.

The Dark Night Demon Lord laughed and said, "Three fellow Daoists from the True Meaning Sect. Our Yin Sha Sect values ​​integrity. Since we've all come together, we should work together, share life and death. If there's an opportunity, we'll share the spoils."

"As agreed beforehand, the Flaming Firebird is yours, and the Blackwater Demon Dragon is ours."

"Shall we go together to kill that Blackwater Demon Dragon?"

Master Xuanyi pondered for a few breaths.

"This……"

"To be honest, we want to kill that Flaming Firebird first."

When it comes to his own interests, Master Xuanyi is unwilling to back down.
