Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 139: Demon Cultivator Infiltration

Chu Ming felt a bit uneasy.

In the past six months, there had been constant conflicts within the cultivation world of the Jin Kingdom, and several major events had occurred.

For example, some time ago, the royal family of the Jin Kingdom took the lead in proposing a spirit contract among the major cultivation forces. During the ten years before and after the Dragon Gate trial, there should be no conflicts between them.

On one hand, this was to ensure harmonious coexistence among the major cultivation forces.

At the same time, it was also to allow the Nascent Soul ancestors of each sect to participate in the Dragon Gate trial with peace of mind.

So far, the Nascent Soul cultivators from various major forces who entered the trial have not come out yet.

The other ancestors of the sects originally wanted to wait for news, but seeing that no one had come out for such a long time, they were also anxious.

They didn't know the difference between the Dragon Gate trial for Nascent Soul cultivators and the trials for the other two realms, nor did they know when it would end.

If each level of the trial required a lot of time, wouldn't they be at a disadvantage if they went late?

The trial left behind by the immortals was also extremely important for Nascent Soul cultivators like them.

They would rather give up the interests of their sects than miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Some impatient ones had already entered, while others were waiting for the spirit contract among the various forces to be signed before preparing to enter.

Another noteworthy event was that there were more and more demonic cultivators like Han Yan recently.

Zombies appeared out of thin air everywhere, and no one knew where they came from.

The major cultivation forces of the Jin Kingdom attached great importance to this matter and sent people out to investigate, even led by elders from various peaks.

If this matter was not investigated thoroughly, the major cultivation forces might face unexpected crises.

Especially now that the Nascent Soul ancestors were planning to enter the Dragon Gate trial, if there was a lack of high-end combat power, the sects would really be unable to withstand any major crises.

Many forces have now begun to set aside their disputes and unite to investigate the appearance of these zombies out of thin air, but so far there are no clues.

Chu Ming saw the strange behavior of Elder Silverlight and couldn't help but be curious.

He continued to watch Elder Silverlight and his group.

The group did not speak along the way. After entering the outer gate, they flew straight to the Misty Peak on their flying Law Weapons.

Chu Ming switched his perspective to a peach tree near the top of the Misty Peak and began to observe the movements of the group.

After the group landed on the platform at the top of the peak, they headed towards the main hall of the Misty Peak, the Golden Light Temple.

Elder Silverlight, Qi Ziheng, was an old man with white hair and beard.

After dismissing the others in the hall, he used the Soundless Art to set up a silver barrier around them.

However, Chu Ming's current ability allowed him to easily pass through this barrier and hear the voices inside.

Elder Silverlight fiercely slapped a short female cultivator named Zhu Fang and angrily said, "What were you doing just now? You almost exposed us!"

Although Zhu Fang was a Foundation Building Late Stage cultivator, she still had blood at the corners of her mouth from the slap.

She knelt down and cried, "Master, the demonic energy in my body suddenly surged a bit just now, and I was a little nervous, so I couldn't suppress it..."

Qi Ziheng stroked his beard and said coldly, "Fortunately, I reacted quickly just now, otherwise it would have been difficult to handle."

"Why are you nervous? I told you that I personally built the mountain protection formation. No one can detect us."

"I wanted to bring people in, and no one would notice."

Chu Ming was secretly shocked. It turned out that Elder Silverlight was the one who built the outer sect mountain protection formation.

And it seemed like he deliberately brought this Zhu Fang, who was tainted with demonic energy, into the sect.

What was he planning to do?

At this moment, Zhu Fang lowered her head in shame and said, "Master, there won't be a next time."

Another male disciple with a triangular face sighed, "Master, what should we do now?"

"Are we really going to become demonic cultivators in the future?"

"I still feel a bit unwilling..."

Elder Yin Guang, Qi Ziheng, coldly snorted and said, "So what?"

"We are all infused with demonic energy by that old demon. Our lives are completely in his hands."

"Since that's the case, we can only obediently listen to him."

"He has been lurking underground for thousands of years, and his strength is not to be underestimated. He already has such means before the seal is completely lifted."

"So even if we report to the sect, no one can save us."

"If we want to stay alive, we can only listen to him from now on."

The male disciple with a long face cried with a mournful expression.

The enchanting female cultivator, Wu Yihuan, smiled and said, "I don't mind. Being a demonic cultivator is also good. At least my strength will improve faster."

"That demonic cultivator is extremely powerful. With our assistance, he will definitely unify the cultivation world of Jin Country in the future."

"By then, we can also enjoy the glory and no longer have to act according to other people's whims."

"Moreover, the line between immortals and demons is just a thought away. Perhaps, if one's strength is strong enough, a demonic cultivator can also become an immortal."

"We are all striving to become immortals in the long run. Having such a shortcut is not necessarily a bad thing."

Qi Ziheng nodded slightly, "Yihuan's words make sense. At this point, we can only do this."

"After we succeed, Divine Will Sect and even Jin Country will be under our control."

A chubby male disciple laughed, "By then, we will all be demonic cultivators, and there won't be much difference. No one needs to mock anyone."

"That's true," the male disciple with a long face sighed.

Since he couldn't become a righteous cultivator, he might as well drag everyone down and become demonic cultivators together.

Chu Ming was even more surprised after hearing their discussion.

It seems that a demonic cultivator who had been lurking underground in Jin Country for thousands of years had loosened his seal.

Qi Ziheng and the others must have accidentally fallen into his ambush and were all infused with demonic energy, losing control of their lives.

In order to stay alive, they could only let him manipulate them.

What would they do next? Would they help the old demon remove the remaining seals?

The others didn't mention any crucial information afterwards, and Chu Ming couldn't understand their plan.

But their plan was definitely dangerous and would disrupt his peaceful life.

It was not feasible to let them continue like this. He had to find a way to stop them.

Of course, he couldn't directly go out and report them to Jiang Mo.

Even if he successfully reported them, he couldn't explain how he discovered their conspiracy.

After thinking for a moment, he switched his perspective.

He unexpectedly found that Elder Nongtang was alone in a top-floor attic of Jade Flower Peak, drinking tea.

Leaning against the window, he occasionally caressed the branches and leaves of a ginkgo tree outside with his hand, with a smile on his face, looking content.

He seemed to be waiting for someone, and the attic should be the residence of the steward of Jade Flower Peak.

And that ginkgo tree happened to be one of the perception plants planted by Chu Ming.

Chu Ming thought for a moment. If he observed Qi Ziheng from this forbidden area, he would be sensed by him.

But he would definitely mistake it for Elder Nongtang spying on him, and might cause some commotion because of it.

Either he would kill to keep it a secret, or he would confess proactively. Their plan should be able to be stopped.

Although doing so might put Elder Nongtang in danger.

But he and Elder Nongtang had no personal relationship. What he said at the wedding banquet was just a polite remark, there was no need to take it seriously.

As an elder of Divine Will Sect, he naturally had the responsibility to protect the sect.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, he should be at the forefront. Helping him would just be a small favor, and he might even make great contributions.

Chu Ming didn't think much about it and crossed the boundary from the position of the ginkgo tree to look towards Golden Light Temple.

Staring fixedly at Qi Ziheng.
