Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 450 Classification of Monsters (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Now, Fu Chao finally understands!
If Li Yunjing wanted to deal with me, he could probably kill me in one move!
Even though he had so many life-saving items on him!

Li Yunjing's combat power is enough to contend with top-tier demonic beasts, which shows how formidable his strength is!
Fu Chao finally understood why Li Yunjing always seemed so calm and collected when he encountered trouble!

With this kind of strength, what is there to worry about?
This demon beast is inferior to cultivators; it cannot use magic weapons, nor can it use the various arts of cultivation to fight. In fact, apart from its innate divine power, no cultivator would learn so many supernatural abilities and secret techniques.

However, this is, after all, a demon king at the top level of the Golden Core Realm!

Even the most ignorant person knows that, under normal circumstances, only a cultivator at the seventh level of the Golden Core Realm, and from a major sect, can fight against a demonic beast of this level!
To kill a monster of this level unscathed, it would be very difficult without the intervention of a peak Golden Core Realm expert.

"Old Li is so powerful! It seems the position of sect leader is definitely his!"

Fu Chao muttered to himself, "I'll tell my older brother when I get back, don't argue with this freak! You can't win!"

Fu Chao was completely convinced!
In the entire Fu family, apart from the patriarch, no one can rival Li Yunjing!

How can this kid be so freakish?
I didn't realize it when we first met!
Fu Chao racked his brains but still couldn't figure out why Li Yunjing was so amazing!

Of course, he was also quite fortunate that he had the best relationship with Li Yunjing!
In the future, I'll definitely be able to benefit from Li Yunjing's influence.

At this moment, in the open area ten miles away, the battle between Li Yunjing and the Golden Core cultivator against the "Rotten Swamp Dragon Crocodile" has become even more intense.

Almost instantly, Li Yunjing and the Golden Core cultivator chose to take advantage of their speed and small size, constantly charging at the "Rotten Swamp Dragon Crocodile" from both sides, repeatedly using their magic weapons to bombard its wounds.

Although the "Rotten Swamp Dragon Crocodile" is powerful, its large size and relatively slow movements make it somewhat powerless against the agile attacks of Li Yunjing and the Golden Core cultivator.

Its wound was constantly bombarded, and blood gushed out like a spring, staining the surrounding mud red.

"Roar……!"

The "Rotten Swamp Crocodile" let out an angry roar, its huge tail whipping around, stirring up towering waves of mud in an attempt to force the two back.

This monster's intelligence is clearly limited.

Previously, I ruled this place like a king, but I never encountered a powerful and cunning cultivator.

Now, its counterattack seems rather childish to Li Yunjing and the Golden Core cultivators.

The two had anticipated its counterattack. With a swift movement, they easily avoided the impact of the mud waves and each positioned themselves three miles away, launching attacks from afar with their magical weapons!

The two men did not seek merit, but only to avoid mistakes.

Anyway, we'll just stay here and keep bleeding the "Rotten Swamp Crocodile".

"Fellow Daoist, give it your all! It's already on the decline!"

The Golden Core cultivator shouted, changed his hand seals, and summoned a jet-black poison needle, aiming straight for the "Rotten Swamp Crocodile's" eye.

"Whoosh..."

The poisoned needle was indeed the "Five Poison Divine Needle," but it was of a higher grade, reaching the third level, and was specifically designed to break through protective qi.

This "Five Poisons Divine Needle" was extremely fast, instantly piercing the "Rotten Swamp Crocodile's" left eye.

"Roar……"

The "Swamp Dragon Crocodile" was in pain and twisted its body wildly, turning the swamp upside down.

"Good heavens! This hidden weapon is powerful! Even my 'Five-Colored Divine Light' can't withstand it!"

Seeing this, a hint of apprehension flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes. It seemed that none of the Golden Core cultivators were easy to deal with!
"Yin Yang and Five Elements, slay!"

With the Golden Core cultivators of the "Ten Thousand Poisons Sect" on his guard, Li Yunjing suddenly swung the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword," its sword light as bright as a rainbow, heading straight for the abdominal wound of the "Rotten Swamp Dragon Crocodile."

A massive, seven-colored sword light pierced directly through the belly of the "Rotten Swamp Crocodile".

"Pfft..."

Blood gushed out, and the "Rotten Swamp Crocodile" let out another shrill scream. Its massive body crashed to the ground, and after struggling a few times, it was unable to get up.

"Hahaha! This beast is done for!"

Upon seeing this, the Golden Core cultivator breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of joy appearing on his face.

He turned to look at Li Yunjing and smiled, "Fellow Daoist, your strength is indeed extraordinary. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to kill this demonic beast today."

But there was a deep sense of apprehension in his eyes!
The "Rotten Swamp Crocodile" is on the verge of death, and all that remains are people to guard against the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect".

The previous cooperation was completely meaningless.

Those who follow the demonic path have never valued integrity or loyalty!
In his view, Li Yunjing was a member of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and a mortal enemy, and probably shared the same thoughts as him!
Those Taoist priests are ruthless and unruly, especially towards those of us in the demonic path.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. If your poisoned needle had not struck its eye, I would not have been able to succeed so easily."

Li Yunjing smiled faintly and said, "Keep attacking! Let it die completely, then we'll divide it up!"

"it is good!"

The two exchanged a smile and continued to attack from a distance with their weapons!
"Boom!"

Just as the "Rotten Swamp Dragon Crocodile" was struggling to get up, it was knocked to the ground again. As the two attacked more frequently, the monster's wounds increased.

The roar of the "Swamp Dragon Crocodile" gradually weakened, its life force was rapidly fading, and it was clear that it would not last much longer.

Li Yunjing and the Golden Core cultivator remained vigilant, continuously bombarding the beast with their magical treasures to ensure it was completely powerless to resist.

"Roar……"

Finally, the "Swamp Dragon Crocodile" let out a low, mournful cry, its massive body completely limp in the swamp, no longer moving.

Its eyes gradually lost their luster, and its breath completely dissipated.

"Finally solved!"

The Golden Core cultivator breathed a sigh of relief, a look of ease appearing on his face.

"Fellow Daoist, as agreed, the demon core and poison sac are yours, and the rest of the materials are mine. How about it?"

Li Yunjing spoke calmly, his tone carrying an unquestionable air.

"Of course, fellow Daoist is indeed a man of his word."

Upon hearing this, the Golden Core cultivator's eyes flashed with a cold glint, but he quickly smiled.

After he finished speaking, he walked toward the corpse of the "Rotten Swamp Crocodile" to retrieve the demon core and poison sac.

However, the moment he bent down, a cold glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes, and he suddenly swung the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" in his hand, sending a sharp sword aura straight towards the cultivator's back!

"Whoosh whoosh..."

At the same time, the moment the Golden Core cultivator bent over, dozens of "Five Poison Divine Needles" shot out from his sleeve!
Neither of them trusted the other, and almost simultaneously, they chose to attack, wanting to kill the other and claim the monster's corpse for themselves!

"Dangdangdang..."

A shield appeared in front of Li Yunjing, completely obscuring him from view.

All of the dozens of "Five Poison Divine Needles" struck the shield and were deflected.

What Li Yunjing has in abundance is high-quality magical artifacts!
The Golden Core cultivator has just made his move, revealing the "Five Poison Divine Needles." How could Li Yunjing not have a countermeasure?

The shield had already been taken out of the storage ring, and now, held horizontally in front of him, it naturally played a huge role in blocking all the "Five Poison Divine Needles".

The Golden Core cultivator's sneak attack was blocked, but the sword energy unleashed by Li Yunjing's "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" was used to slash at the man with upright and honorable power!

"you!"

As expected, the Golden Core cultivator sensed danger upon seeing the approaching sword energy, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly turned around to defend himself.

However, Li Yunjing's sword energy was so sharp that it instantly pierced through his defenses and directly stabbed into his heart.

"You... how dare you..."

The Golden Core cultivator stared wide-eyed at Li Yunjing in disbelief before slowly collapsing to the ground, lifeless.

"When dealing with a tiger for its skin, how can one not have a backup plan?"

Li Yunjing sneered and said calmly, "You people from the 'Ten Thousand Poisons Sect' are treacherous and cunning. If I don't strike first, I'm afraid I'll also fall victim to your poisonous hands."

Li Yunjing did not move forward, but instead raised his hand and unleashed another "palm thunder" towards the man's corpse.

"Whoosh..."

Unexpectedly, before the "palm thunder" even arrived, the Golden Core cultivator's "corpse" suddenly stood up and actually retreated straight backward!
The Golden Core cultivator opened his eyes, glared at Li Yunjing, and shouted, "Boy, how did you see through my feigned death?"

"Heh heh! I don't care if you're really dead or not. My style, Li Yunjing, is to kill cleanly when I kill someone! I never miss the chance to finish them off!"

Li Yunjing sneered, and with a light tap of his toes, he chased after the man.

"What a treacherous little thief! You are a hundred times more cunning than us demonic cultivators!"

The black-clad Golden Core cultivator was furious, his teeth itching with rage. He immediately activated his poison technique, unleashing countless poisonous insects and mists towards Li Yunjing. A cold glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes as he growled, "Trying to escape? Wishful thinking!"

Suddenly, layers of flames erupted from his body. Before the poisonous insects could even get close, they were burned to death by the "Samadhi True Fire." Then, Li Yunjing moved and transformed into a fire dragon, rushing straight towards the black-clad Golden Core cultivator.

"Boom!"

At the same time, the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" trembled, and a series of "Bing Fire Divine Thunder" exploded towards the man. Amidst the "booming" flames, the Golden Core cultivator let out a series of screams. He had been severely injured by Li Yunjing!

"Pfft!"

Li Yunjing's figure changed from the fire dragon form back to human form. He thrust the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" forward and pierced the black-robed man's chest without any resistance, causing blood to gush out instantly.

"I was actually killed by a Foundation Establishment Realm brat..."

The man in black robes stared wide-eyed at Li Yunjing in disbelief before slowly collapsing to the ground, lifeless.

With the death of the man in black robes, the surrounding miasma completely dissipated, and the poisonous snakes, vines, and insects vanished without a trace.

"Whoosh..."

Seeing that all the enemies were dead, Fu Chao flew over.

Before he even arrived, his voice rang out: "Old Li, you're too bold! I've made up my mind, when we get back I'll have my brother withdraw from the competition for sect leader! Besides, the Fu family fully supports you!"

"Ok!"

Li Yunjing nodded and pointed to the monster's corpse, saying, "Hurry up! Cut up the monster's corpse so we can get on our way!"

After saying this, Li Yunjing quickly looted the belongings of the Golden Core cultivator from the "Ten Thousand Poisons Sect".

"The corpse is yours! Old Li, I want the spoils of war from the other Foundation Establishment cultivators of the 'Ten Thousand Poisons Sect'!"

Fu Chao understood Li Yunjing's meaning, but he felt really embarrassed to share the spoils with Li Yunjing without having accomplished anything.

This doesn't follow the rules of the martial arts world!
My brothers are loyal to me, so I can't be ungrateful!

Fu Chao, the second young master, still has a lot of self-respect.

Seeing that Fu Chao had already gone to other parts of the battlefield to collect the belongings of the more than thirty "Ten Thousand Poisons Sect" disciples without waiting for his response, Li Yunjing couldn't help but shake his head.

"Alright! Those thirty-odd Foundation Establishment cultivators must have at least a few million in assets, right? That should be enough for Old Fu to handle for a while."

Li Yunjing ignored Fu Chao and instead carried the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" to the corpse of the "Rotten Swamp Dragon Crocodile" to begin dividing the spoils.

Demon cores, poison sacs, scales, bones... all these materials are precious, especially demon cores and poison sacs, which are priceless.

The corpse of a peak third-tier demon beast is extremely rare and hard to come by.

Hunting this kind of monster is extremely risky.

Of course, he was also a useless "Swamp Dragon Crocodile". If he encountered a top-tier intelligent third-order peak demon beast, such as the one in the sea where he encountered the ancestor of the rhinoceros clan, Li Yunjing would not dare to fight at all. He would only have one thought: to run away.

Human cultivation is extremely complex.

Monsters are actually much more complex.

"Demon beasts" is a general term; in reality, there are different detailed classifications based on bloodline and level of intelligence.

The path of evolution begins with the lowest-level beasts.

There are three main directions, the most mainstream of which is the demon race. They have gained intelligence and, based on their innate supernatural abilities, gradually cultivate and evolve to a higher level.

Some people with high levels of wisdom would forge magical artifacts, create writing systems, and become prominent races.

The second category is mythical beasts.

These mythical beasts left behind a unique civilization with a detailed cultivation system. They can use all the skills possessed by cultivators and have extremely high potential for future achievements.

The third category is ferocious beasts!
Even though the "Rotten Swamp Dragon Crocodile" is a type of ferocious beast, these monsters are low in intelligence and rely almost entirely on their instinct to kill to cultivate.

This kind of ferocious beast is also the easiest to deal with!
Having power but not knowing how to use it properly, and unable to transform into human form, there is almost no way to deal with a flexible cultivator like Li Yunjing. The only option is to rely on a strong physique to resist.

When you can't withstand the attack and your defenses are breached, then death is not far away.

As for some special monsters, such as insectoids, underground monsters, sea creatures, plant-based creatures, and mountain spirits... there are too many to count.

Even with these three main categories, it's difficult to include them all.

In this colorful world, there is nothing that doesn't exist, only things you can't imagine.

Therefore, even with generations of wise cultivators summarizing and generalizing, it is still difficult to comprehensively categorize all species in the world into a complete system.

At this moment, Li Yunjing drew his sword swiftly, cutting repeatedly to collect the demon core and poison sac into his "storage ring." He then separated the scales and bones, placing them into those "treasure pouches."

Li Yunjing possesses numerous storage treasures!

He had over a dozen storage rings, dozens of storage bracelets, and hundreds of treasure pouches. Recently, he had used up a lot of them.

Many spatial magical artifacts were left vacant.

Now, the "Rotten Swamp Dragon Crocodile," which is as big as a small mountain, has been packed up, and many storage treasures have been filled up again.

Meanwhile, Fu Chao flew over happily.

Fu Chao was overjoyed to have all the wealth of more than thirty cultivators of the same level fall into his hands!
"Is everything packed?"

Li Yunjing asked with a smile.

"Hehe! I've made a fortune thanks to you!"

When talking about his achievements, Fu Chao couldn't stop smiling.

Comfortable!

so comfy!

It's so great to go out with Li Yunjing!
With a powerful protector by his side, Fu Chao could now safely amass wealth.

"Alright! Let's go! Since we've encountered a group of 'Ten Thousand Poisons Sect' members here, it's inevitable that a second group will appear!"

Li Yunjing released the "Azure Cloud Boat" and said with a solemn expression.

The "Ten Thousand Poisons Sect" is not something to be trifled with!
Li Yunjing held a certain degree of awe in him, so naturally he dared not fight to the death with a demonic sect!
Now that they've gained an advantage, they can retreat.

"it is good!"

Fu Chao nodded, and then he and Li Yunjing transformed into two streaks of light and flew into the "Azure Cloud Boat." The treasure ship trembled and disappeared into the air.

Shortly after the "Azure Cloud Boat" left, three elders of the "Ten Thousand Poisons Sect" led hundreds of disciples to arrive quickly.

When they saw the corpses of their fellow disciples scattered all over the ground, they were enraged.

"Damn it! There are traces of lightning magic here! It's probably the work of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'!"

An elder with white hair and beard observed the situation and roared angrily.

"Elder, what should we do now?"

One of the disciples asked cautiously.

"Chase them! No matter what, we must avenge them!"

With a cold shout, the man took the lead and flew up, leading the group in pursuit of the direction Li Yunjing and Fu Chao had gone.

Meanwhile, the "Azure Cloud Boat" was already moving at full speed, flying rapidly northward!
Previously, Li Yunjing had done this to take care of Fu Chao, but now that he felt he had given Fu Chao enough benefits, he naturally lost interest and continued on his journey at a leisurely pace.

The further north you go, the colder it gets.

Gradually, Li Yunjing and Fu Chao entered the area they had passed through before.

In this cold, desolate place, the two reminisced about the past, both sighing with emotion.

Back then, they were chased relentlessly by the shaman clan, but they were rescued by the "Northern Emperor Faction," otherwise they would have been in grave danger.

"When we have time, let's visit the 'Northern Emperor Sect' to thank those two seniors!"

Recalling the past, Li Yunjing was deeply moved and concluded by saying...

"We really should thank them!"

Fu Chao nodded in agreement, saying, "In the past, when we had no power, it was a joke to go to their door to ask for an audience and express our gratitude! Now it's different. With your strength and status, those two seniors would probably be astonished!"

"hehe!"

Li Yunjing chuckled softly, but did not respond.

As Fu Chao said, times have changed, and he is no longer the insignificant little cultivator he once was.
