Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 564 Who's Scheming? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

No one answered Li Yunjing's question. Just as Li Yunjing was about to lead his men to break through, a muffled roar came from the seabed.

"Hurrah!"

A thousand-foot-long octopus monster burst out of the sea, with human faces growing from the tips of its tentacles, each face bearing a pained and distorted expression.

Judging from his imposing presence, he is at least a demon king at the Golden Core realm!
Then more sea monster kings appeared.

Each one was incredibly malevolent, filled with a violent aura, and seemed to have lost its self-awareness.

"These are sea creatures that have been refined into puppets!"

Li Yunjing's pupils constricted sharply. "A demonic cultivator has set up an ambush here!"

"Charge, everyone!"

Although he saw that there was an ambush, Li Yunjing was not afraid. Instead, he drew his sword and swept towards the puppets.

"Chichichi..."

Wherever the sword energy passed, the seawater instantly boiled, the octopus monster let out a shrill scream, and its huge body collapsed with a crash, directly cut into pieces of flesh!
The power of the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" was enhanced once again. In addition, Li Yunjing's Taoist magic had improved. With this move, he was invincible among a group of third-tier demon kings and directly killed the most ferocious one!
This greatly surprised Liu Yu and the others behind him.

They knew that Li Yunjing must be powerful to become the deputy sect leader of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," but with his cultivation at the second level of the "Golden Core Realm," he could kill the demon king in an instant.

This scene still horrified them.

However, the crisis was not over. After Li Yunjing and his group killed more than a dozen demon kings, a new crisis emerged.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

From the distant clouds, the faint sound of copper bells could be heard.

Then, many people in black robes appeared in the clouds, one of whom played an eerie tune on a jade flute.

The defeated octopus monster's corpse suddenly tore into pieces, transforming into countless black beetles that once again lunged at the group.

Wherever these beetles passed, the reefs instantly turned to dust, and the seawater was corroded into large cavities.

"What a fine 'Demon-Suppressing Sect' cultivator!"

Having seen through the other party's methods, Li Yunjing felt confident and recognized the other party's origins.

"Fellow disciples! Today we shall slay the demon!"

Li Yunjing shouted and was the first to cast a spell.

The power of the five elements transformed into "five-colored divine light" in his hands, keeping the beetles at bay.

"Yes!"

Ten Golden Core cultivators followed closely behind, hiding behind the "Five-Colored Divine Light" and unleashing a series of divine abilities, with flames soaring into the sky and lightning flashing...

Just as everyone was locked in fierce combat with the beetle, a violent tremor suddenly came from the seabed.

A colossal underwater palace slowly rose up, its gates opened, and countless evil cultivators from the Netherworld Sea swarmed out.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Several cultivators from the Demon-Suppressing Sect flew out from the seabed and stood atop the palace, sneering, "Li Yunjing, today is your burial ground!"

Some demonic cultivators took out gourds, opened their mouths, and poured out a foul-smelling liquid.

Before long, the surrounding seawater turned a strange dark purple. Some sea creatures, polluted by the discolored seawater, instantly turned belly up and slowly rotted, leaving only bones!
"Someone is targeting me?"

Li Yunjing's expression changed, and he secretly calculated in his heart, trying to understand the secrets of heaven.

Judging from the methods employed by the "Demon Control Sect" this time, it's clear they came for him!

Was this the idea of ​​the "Demon Extermination Sect" itself, or was someone asked to help them?

If it's the former, Li Yunjing isn't too worried; if it's the latter, then who is plotting against him?
Li Yunjing did not believe that the "Tianluo Dao Sect" could collude with the "Yumo Sect"!
The people of the "Tianluo Dao Sect" are too arrogant!
As a result, many people in the "Tianluo Dao Sect" have an arrogant and disdainful attitude.

They don't even think much of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," let alone the filthy demonic cultivators!

Having ruled out the "Tianluo Dao Sect," could it be that a new force has taken notice of the situation in the East China Sea and wants to take advantage of the chaos?

That's quite possible!
The situation in the East China Sea has become extremely chaotic.

For some powerful forces, a mere stretch of sea cannot stop them from harboring malicious intentions!
What is the point of eliminating oneself?
It's not small!
First, if I die, how can the "East China Sea Alliance" be formed?

The other forces in the East China Sea have probably lost all morale. Even the deputy leader of the alliance leader's family has died. What future do they have?
Secondly, if I die, the sect will definitely not let it go!

The great battle between the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and the "Tianluo Dao Sect" is about to escalate, and the two sides will inevitably fight to the death!

If that's the case, many forces will likely benefit!

While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits!
Does the "Demon Control Sect" want to be the fisherman?
Do they have that capability?

Before Li Yunjing could think any further, countless skull ships appeared in the clouds, their eerie flames casting flickering light on the sea.

"Something's not right, these skeleton ships..."

As soon as one of the elders of the "Hall of Enforcement" uttered these words, the surrounding seawater suddenly began to boil.

Countless flying fish monsters with human faces emerged from the scalding waves, their bodies bound by jet-black chains, dragging along the skeletons of humans.

"It's just looking for death!"

Li Yunjing's sword-like eyebrows shot up, and the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" suddenly burst forth with nine sword energies, which intertwined in the air to form "Five Elements Divine Thunder" and "Yin Yang Divine Thunder", blasting the flying fish monster that was the first to pounce into a bloody mist.

"All ten directions are annihilated!"

Liu Yu formed hand seals, and golden array patterns appeared beneath the feet of the ten Golden Core cultivators.

Seventy-two demon-slaying lightning bolts flew out from the formation, and the beetles that were still charging were blown to smithereens with a "boom" sound.

However, the black-robed man's jade flute playing suddenly rose in pitch, and a thousand beams of dark blue light shot out from the underwater palace, breaking through the "Five-Colored Divine Light" defense almost instantly.

"Li Yunjing, do you think you can stop me with these few supernatural abilities?"

The "Demon Control Sect" cultivator atop the palace sneered, pouring out dark green venom from his gourd, which condensed into a three-headed, six-armed demon god phantom in the sea.

With each step the demon took, the seawater froze into ice crystals, and the octopus monsters and beetles in its path began to merge, transforming into monsters tens of meters tall.

"The five elements revolve, and all laws return to nothingness!"

Li Yunjing shouted and swept his Yin-Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword, creating a huge vortex of Five Elements True Qi that sucked in all the nearby monsters.

Just when everyone thought they had temporarily suppressed the attack, the skeleton ships suddenly lit up with blood-red runes.

The yin energy of the entire sea area gathered wildly, condensing into a ghostly face that blotted out the sky.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The demon opened its blood-red maw, and countless white bone arrows whistled down.

Liu Yu and the others took action to resist and used their supernatural powers to bombard the ghost mask in the air.

"Oh no! The Demon Mask is absorbing my supernatural attack!"

The attack was not going well. Before Liu Yu's exclamation had even faded, the ghost mask became even more solid.

"Hahaha! You're all dead this time!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the man in black robes commanded the monsters to launch a general attack. In an instant, blood splattered across the sea, and screams filled the air.

"Li Yunjing, your Shenxiao Dao Sect is really obedient."

The man in black robes spoke in a hoarse voice, and as he waved his jade flute, a torrential downpour of blood-red rain suddenly fell from the sky. "The mineral veins of the Azure Sea? They're nothing but bait to lure the snake out of its hole."

"Since you're bait, let's see if you can devour all eleven of us!"

Li Yunjing finally decided to go all out.

Using his "divine divination" skills, he deduced that his own fortune and misfortune had slowly declined from the peak of crisis.

This means that the "Demon Control Sect" has used all its backup plans.

The Demon-Suppressing Sect is unaware of his power!
The "Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror" floated above his head, and the "Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Heavenly Secret Pendant" emitted Yin and Yang energies, covering his left and right sides and blessing the "Azure Dragon" and "White Tiger" images.

Immediately afterwards, the "Five Dragon Wheels" hummed and turned into a huge wheel hundreds of feet long, covering the fellow disciples of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" and hanging down. The rich power of the five elements formed an even larger "Five-Colored Divine Light".

That wasn't all; Li Yunjing then displayed his extraordinary abilities of having three heads and six arms!
Each of his six arms held a precious treasure!
"Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword", "Myriad Manifestations Lotus Lantern", "Purple Gold Gourd", "Heavenly Net", "Ancient Bronze Bell", "Ten Thousand Poison Banner"!
As soon as the six great treasures were unleashed, they swept simultaneously, and with a "rip," the ghost mask in the sky was torn into seven or eight pieces!
That ability to absorb attacks and strengthen itself is like paper in the face of many powerful treasures, offering no resistance whatsoever!

"How could there possibly be so many treasures?"

The man in black robes was startled. He snorted coldly, and his jade flute emitted a sharp whistling sound. The palace pressed down, and the seawater burst open. Instead of advancing, it retreated, trying to lead his subordinates to escape!

"The next time we meet will be the day you die."

The man in black robes, along with the skull ship and a group of demonic cultivators, sank to the bottom of the sea, attempting to escape by sea.

"Sect Leader Li, should we continue the pursuit?" A fellow disciple, looking at the three-headed, six-armed, and awe-inspiring Li Yunjing, swallowed hard and asked cautiously.

"Chase them! Anyone who offends me will not have a good end!"

Li Yunjing charged fiercely into the sea, shouting, "The 'Demon Control Sect' is playing with fire! I'll make them understand the consequences of offending me!"

Li Yunjing, with his three heads and six arms, wielded six powerful treasures, tearing open a deep passage through the seawater as if it were being cleaved by a sharp blade.

"Chase!"

The other ten men exchanged glances, their morale soaring, and followed suit.

The ancient bronze bell rang loudly, its sound waves reverberating across the seabed. The sails of the skeleton ship instantly shattered, and the demonic cultivators who tried to escape were blasted, bleeding from their seven orifices, their bodies stiffening as they floated in the seawater.

"Want to run? It's too late!"

Li Yunjing unfolded his "Heavenly Net," transforming it into a giant net covering an area of ​​a thousand feet, capturing the fleeing man in black robes along with his confidants.

"not good!"

Why is this person so powerful?

"We have done everything we could!"

"The intelligence is wrong! Li Yunjing is not an ordinary Golden Core Realm Second Level cultivator!"

"With such formidable combat power, without a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to intervene, they are simply no match!"

"what to do……"

The demonic cultivator in the net struggled frantically, but the golden threads tightened around him, causing veins to bulge under his skin and emitting screams of agony.

A flicker of fear flashed in the black-robed man's eyes, and the jade flute burst forth with blinding black light, attempting to pierce through the inescapable net.

"A bunch of reckless fools!"

Li Yunjing sneered, and the "Myriad Lotus Lanterns" shone with countless rays of light, completely dissolving the black light. Within the "Heavenly Net," the world was transformed, turning into an iceberg.

The members of the "Demon Control Sect" suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold, and their bodies stiffened.

Before they could even realize they were in an illusion, the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" transformed into a streak of light, slaying all the demonic cultivators and finally piercing through the black-robed man's shoulder, pinning him to a seabed reef.

"Speak! Who sent you?"

Li Yunjing's six great treasures surrounded him, and his imposing aura pressed down on the black-robed man like Mount Tai.

"Li Yunjing, do you think killing me will reveal the truth?"

Black blood trickled from the corner of the black-robed man's mouth, yet he still laughed arrogantly: "The power behind us is enough to make the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yunjing flicked the Ten Thousand Poison Banner in his hand, and the "Five Poison Divine Needles" shot out, instantly turning the black-robed man into a pool of blood.

"You won't talk? Then we'll find the answer in the magic treasures you possess."

Li Yunjing reached out and beckoned, and the jade flute and gourd left behind by the man in black robes flew into his hand.

The surface of the jade flute was covered with strange runes. Li Yunjing used his spiritual power to investigate and found that it was covered with many restrictions.

However, when the dark green gourd was opened, a wisp of divine consciousness remained inside.

Li Yunjing carefully drew out his divine sense, and a blurry image appeared in his mind.

Inside a gloomy palace, a masked man was talking to the leader of the "Demon Control Sect." The two held a yellowed ancient book in their hands, with the four characters "Secret Records of the East Sea" prominently displayed on the cover.

"The Secret Records of the East Sea?"

Li Yunjing frowned. He had heard of this ancient book in the sect's records. It was said to contain a secret treasure hidden somewhere in the East Sea that could overturn the cultivation world.

Just then, a violent tremor suddenly came from the seabed, and countless bubbles surged out from the cracks in the seabed, bringing with them a chilling aura.

"Oh no, they have a backup plan!"

Liu Yu and the others caught up, their expressions grave.

Li Yunjing put away the jade flute and gourd, then plundered the belongings from the other corpses before coldly looking at the changes on the seabed.

"I'd like to see if he has any new schemes up his sleeve!"

With his full power unleashed, Li Yunjing easily crushed more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators from the "Demon Control Sect," but he was not satisfied; his killing intent remained boiling!
Seeing that Li Yunjing remained calm and showed no fear, Liu Yu and the others gradually calmed down as well.

Having witnessed Li Yunjing's prowess, everyone now regards him as a Nascent Soul Realm expert!

With all these treasures he possesses, if he just stood there and let a Golden Core cultivator beat him, who could kill Li Yunjing?
Everyone present was an elder of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," and each of them had exceptional eyesight. How could they not see that Li Yunjing possessed only valuable items?

They were utterly horrified!

What they didn't know was that Li Yunjing possessed some powerful magical treasures that he hadn't yet revealed; otherwise, they would have been even more astonished!

The group gathered above the seabed crack. Before long, they saw the churning bubbles in the crack becoming more and more dense, and the seawater suddenly and strangely flowed upwards, forming a huge black vortex above their heads.

From the depths of the vortex came the sound of chains grinding together, as if some ancient behemoth was breaking free of its restraints.

"interesting!"

Alarm bells rang in Li Yunjing's mind, and the six great treasures hummed simultaneously. The Yin and Yang energies emanating from the "Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Heavenly Secret Pendant" circulated wildly, condensing into a semi-transparent shield around his body.

"Watch out! It's the 'Soul-Devouring Demon Dragon' from the Nether Sea!"

Liu Yu's voice trembled.

A gigantic claw covered in scales emerged from the vortex, with countless wronged souls coiled between the scales, their mournful howls causing everyone's eardrums to ache.

The giant claw slammed down on the ground, instantly creating a giant wave tens of meters high on the seabed. Li Yunjing waved the "Ancient Bronze Bell," and the sound of the bell turned into golden sound waves that collided with the giant wave. The seawater exploded in mid-air, forming a cloud of water mist.

The massive body of the demonic dragon gradually became visible, and the tiny figures of the crowd were reflected in its scarlet vertical pupils.

"Humans? You really are masters of infighting!"

The "Soul-Devouring Demon Dragon" opened its blood-red maw and spoke in human language.

"Hmph! You demons aren't much better!"

Li Yunjing sneered, "What are you? What right do you have to talk about my human race!"

"How dare you! I originally wanted to reason with you, but I didn't expect you, a junior, to use such hurtful words!"

The Soul-Devouring Demon Dragon roared in fury, "Today, I'll teach you a lesson!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the "Soul-Devouring Demon Dragon" opened its mouth and roared!

However, instead of flames, it spewed out a cloud of pitch-black miasma, which instantly turned the rocks into dust wherever it passed.

The dark miasma swept in like a surging tide, and the translucent shield around Li Yunjing rippled the moment it came into contact with the miasma.

He urgently activated the "Myriad Lotus Lanterns," and countless purifying lights poured out in an attempt to suppress the miasma. However, the light of the lotus lanterns was completely swallowed up by the miasma, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

"Oh no, this miasma can devour spiritual energy!"

Liu Yu's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly directed the remaining Golden Core cultivators to form a defensive formation.

"Don't worry!"

Before anyone could make a move, Li Yunjing unfurled his "Ten Thousand Poison Banner" with a "whoosh," and the miasma obediently entered the banner and was swallowed up.

"how is this possible?"

The Soul-Devouring Demon Dragon was shocked, its eyes widening in surprise, seemingly not expecting its trump card to be countered so easily.

"Hmph! Everything in the universe has its counterpart! Your miasma is simply countered by my 'Ten Thousand Poison Banner,' what's there to be surprised about!"

Li Yunjing coldly shouted, "Speak! What is your relationship with the 'Demon Control Sect'! Tell the truth and I'll spare your life; otherwise, you'll die immediately!"

"Damn it! The Ancestor doesn't know anyone from the 'Demon Control Sect'!"

"You want my life? With your abilities?"

The "Soul-Devouring Demon Dragon" was almost furious. It launched a sudden attack, its huge tail sweeping across the water, creating a wall of water dozens of feet high, carrying countless sharp rocks, which crashed towards the group.

"Five Elements Divine Thunder!"

A cold glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes, and all six arms moved in unison, the aftershocks of the divine thunder exploding everywhere in the water.

"Dangdangdang..."

At the same time, the "Ancient Bronze Bell" rang again, and the sound waves reverberated on the seabed, interfering with the actions of the "Soul-Devouring Demon Dragon".

"Not good! This human is too powerful! It seems our ancestor is no match for him!"

The Soul-Devouring Demon Dragon, in pain, let out a deafening roar. The vengeful spirits that had been entwined in the gaps between its scales suddenly surged wildly, transforming into demon gods that flew towards Li Yunjing and the others.
