Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 631 The Five Internal Organs Demon

Watching Zhen Yuanzi leave, the crowned cultivator glanced down at Qingxin Lake below, his mind racing.

The world is about to change, and the four regions will soon be connected. However, he cannot wait that long, so he can only choose to place his bet and hope for that one variable to appear.

"The world has its destiny. Chen Zi'ang, will you be the chosen one, bearing the destiny of heaven?"

The cultivator with the bound crown murmured to himself, his figure slowly dissipating, ignoring the faint divine senses around him.

The Southern Wilderness is now too barren to be suitable for Nascent Soul cultivators to cultivate, let alone accommodate cultivation giants who dare to glimpse the path of Void Refinement.

If Chen Zi'ang can travel the Path to the Heavenly Star and influence the Great Array of Heaven and Earth that covers the entire Southern Wilderness, then his trip today will not have been in vain.

"Buzz!"

Half an hour later, two more streaks of light appeared in the mountains outside Qingxin Lake.

Chen Beiwu frowned slightly, unable to hide his doubts.

Not long ago, the purple-gold canopy that had been frantically issuing warnings suddenly stopped, and the terrifying spiritual feeling of being watched by some being also dissipated.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to follow the advice of the Fighting Demon Ape and risk directly forcing his way into the Heavenly Star Path, which might be guarded by Zhen Yuanzi.

Ahead lies Qingxin Lake. Unless Zhen Yuanzi himself descends, we will surely be able to enter the Heavenly Star Path.

Noticing Chen Beiwu's reaction, the Fighting Demon Ape reassured him with its divine sense.

I hope so.

With that thought, Chen Beiwu spread his divine sense, scanning the surrounding mountains, but he did not detect the slightest aura.

The Fighting Demon Ape also activated its Mystic Eyes to carefully observe the terrain of the nearby mountains.

"There are no signs of any formations here, it's just eerily quiet." The Fighting Demon Ape raised an eyebrow.

The scene before him was somewhat unexpected for the Fighting Demon Ape.

The reason is simple: in the future seen by the Chaotic Heavenly Eye, Zhen Yuanzi is guarding the surface of Qingxin Lake, waiting for them to enter the game.

But at this moment, let alone Zhen Yuanzi, the Fighting Demon Ape didn't even see the figure of a Nascent Soul True Venerable.

"Where is the entrance to the Celestial Path?"

Chen Beiwu cautiously scanned his surroundings with his divine sense, but failed to detect anything amiss.

It seems that his Purple-Gold Canopy rank was correct, and following the Fighting Demon Ape to the Heavenly Star Road was the right choice, allowing him to avoid Zhen Yuanzi in advance.

"At the bottom of Qingxin Lake."

Without hesitation, the Fighting Demon Ape, seeing that no one was guarding the place, directly activated its escape light to take Chen Beiwu into the lake.

As soon as he landed in the lake, Chen Beiwu felt a faint chill.

The chill was initially negligible, but as they descended deeper, Tie Dan and the others began to feel obvious discomfort. Chen Beiwu, on the other hand, with the support of the Primal Myriad Tribulations Body, did not feel much.

"Woof?" (How much deeper?)

Tie Dan barked softly.

This Qingxin Lake is truly strange. It had previously explored it with its divine sense and found it to be no more than three thousand feet deep.

After diving ten thousand feet with its master, it used its divine sense to explore again, but it still needed to dive three thousand feet to reach the bottom of the lake.

If it only happened once, it would be fine, but if it happened three times in a row...

If this continues, it may not be able to withstand the increasingly biting cold around it.

"Hey."

Schiller trembled slightly, also feeling the chill of the lake water.

Logically speaking, with the protection of the Five Qi Mystic Paths and being an ultimate demon king, the mere chill of the lake water is nothing to worry about.

Yet it could still feel the chill that clung to its bones!

Schiller could vaguely sense that this chill did not come from the physical body, but from the soul, and could not be blocked or shielded by the Demon King.

Chen Beiwu looked at the Fighting Demon Ape with a questioning expression in his eyes.

"I don't know how deep this lake is either," the Fighting Demon Ape shook its head slightly.

It's not that it's deliberately keeping us in suspense, but rather that the rules of heaven and earth at the bottom of Qingxin Lake are different from those in the Southern Wilderness, and cannot be measured by simple distance.

"If we're lucky, we can reach the bottom of the lake in a day," the Fighting Demon Ape revealed.

"One day?" Golden Egg was stunned, greatly surprised.

Chen Beiwu and the Fighting Demon Ape could instantly traverse tens of thousands of miles using their escape techniques.

If it takes Chen Beiwu a whole day to arrive smoothly, doesn't that mean that Qingxin Lake is at least tens of millions of miles deep?

"Eek."

Zhiling, on the other hand, moved her eyes around, carefully sensing the spatial fluctuations at the bottom of Qingxin Lake.

Unlike the fragile and vulnerable space of the Southern Wilderness, the space at the bottom of the lake is extremely stable.

Even though it is a seven-tailed purple fox that is skilled at manipulating the power of the void, it will lose the feeling of being able to control it as easily as it used to and can only perform short-distance void teleportation.

Through the connection between the co-existing contracts, Chen Beiwu also keenly perceived this point and attempted to activate the Heavenly Foot Void Step Profound Technique for testing.

As expected, not only Zhiling, but he also found it difficult to invoke the power of the void, and his teleportation distance was also severely limited, less than one-thousandth of the original distance.

To avoid any accidents, Chen Beiwu activated his divine sense to sense the gates of the ten directions.

Having confirmed that the environment here could not restrict the Ten Directions Gate and that he could return to the Immortal Alliance at any time, Chen Beiwu breathed a sigh of relief.

The lakebed was dark and gloomy. After an unknown amount of time, the Fighting Demon Ape leading the way stopped, a look of reminiscence flashing in its eyes: "We've arrived."

Chen Beiwu followed the gaze of the Fighting Demon Ape and suddenly noticed a faint glimmer of fortune.

He activated the Primordial True Point, and the spot where the faint light was located suddenly shattered, revealing a broken and tattered bead.

"Is this the remains of a fifth-tier heavy weapon?"

Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly as he discovered that the pitted and uneven bead, seemingly broken, was actually mixed with more than a dozen kinds of extremely rare fifth-order elemental ores.

"Wow!" (Good stuff!)

Golden Egg's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but swallow.

Fifth-order elemental ore is rare. I'll keep it for you for later use." Chen Beiwu casually put the bead away.

It wasn't that he was stingy; with Jin Dan's current cultivation level, using the Three-Phase Furnace to devour fifth-order Yuan Ore would be slow and wasteful. Devouring fourth-order Xuan Ore would be more cost-effective.

Seeing this, the Fighting Demon Ape was somewhat surprised.

Even with its all-seeing eye, it couldn't detect the fifth-order remnant bead buried inside the ore. How exactly did Chen Beiwu discover it?

If it's just due to profound abilities, that would be fine. But if it's luck, then Chen Beiwu's luck is simply too exaggerated!

While pondering the matter, the Fighting Demon Ape didn't ask any further questions and landed in front of a hidden cave with practiced ease.

The cave's interior was filled with dark rocks, its destination unknown, and it exuded a faint, almost imperceptible Taoist aura.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the Fighting Demon Ape reached out and pointed at Chen Beiwu, causing a spiritual shock.

Chen Beiwu remained calm and unmoved.

The next second, three drops of crystal-clear blood essence slowly floated in front of Chen Beiwu.

"You're safe now that we're here. This is the agreed-upon reward of your life essence."

At this point, the Fighting Demon Ape reached out and plucked two hairs from its ear, handing them to Chen Beiwu: "If you need my help in the future, just use your divine sense to activate these hairs, and I will find you."

Chen Beiwu accepted the gifts without hesitation, especially the three drops of powerful demonic ape blood essence.

Unlike the Demon King's essence blood given by the Demon Ape before, these three drops of essence blood are pure and domineering, containing a trace of the true form of bloodline. Whether used to increase cultivation or to prove the Dao of Demon Venerable, they will be of great benefit to the Golden Egg and the others.

"tread!"

"tread!"

"tread!"

The Fighting Demon Ape strode ahead, paving the way for Chen Beiwu.

Without hesitation, Chen Beiwu stepped into the cave.

As soon as they entered the cave, Chen Beiwu did not sense anything unusual. However, the five little guys, Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, Zhi Ling, and A Ji, all trembled as they sensed the fear emanating from the depths of their bloodlines, as if there was an indescribable terror deep within the cave.

"Tick-tock!" "Tick-tock!"

Schiller swallowed hard and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It turned out to be sweat; it almost thought it had been ambushed.

Golden Egg, Iron Egg, and Zhiling's reactions weren't much better; they were all stiff and sweaty.

"Even Aji felt so terrified!"

Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Aji, who was trembling.

Of the five little ones, Aji, the strongest in combat, reacted the most violently.

"That's normal; most demonic beasts have keen senses."

The Fighting Demon Ape paused, turned to look at Chen Beiwu, and said calmly, "Many powerful figures have died in the Heavenly Star Road, including Nascent Soul True Venerables and even cultivation giants. It can be described as the most dangerous place among dangerous places."

"If I had not attained the Dao of Demon Lord, I would not have dared to rashly step into this birthplace."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu was slightly taken aback.

The Fighting Demon Ape was born of nature, how could it have been born on the Path of Heavenly Stars?

But he didn't ask any questions. He kept using his divine sense to explore his surroundings, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

Judging from the reactions of the Fighting Demon Ape and Aji, the danger of this Heavenly Star Path may not be less than that of a cultivation master's avatar!

"For safety's sake, it's best not to use any escape techniques, including aerial flight, within the Heavenly Star Path," the Fighting Demon Ape advised.

"Click."

"Snap!"

The Fighting Demon Ape strode forward, the sound of bones breaking echoing continuously.

Chen Beiwu's expression gradually turned serious, because as they ventured deeper into the Path of Heavenly Stars, the number of bones appearing beneath their feet began to increase.

At first, there were only a few scattered bones, like withered branches by the roadside, but after walking dozens of miles, large areas of corpses began to appear on both sides of the cave.

These corpses had been dead for many years, their spines were bent, their fingers were clenched, their forms were stiff, and they gleamed with a faint jade-like luster, as if they were reenacting their battles in life.

"Only cultivators at the Nascent Soul True Monarch level or above can temper their physical body and bones to this extent," Chen Beiwu concluded.

In the Southern Wilderness Region today, Nascent Soul True Monarchs are already top-tier experts, yet they fall like weeds and miscellaneous soldiers densely packed together on the Heavenly Star Road.

The Fighting Demon Ape remained indifferent, as if it had long been accustomed to such sights, until the remains of a cultivator appeared in the passage ahead.

His posture was upright, with his hands folded in front of his abdomen, and a decaying longsword on his back, most of the blade of which was broken.

Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered, and he keenly noticed a barely perceptible crack between the eyebrows of the skull of the corpse, which directly pierced through the bone. The wound was smooth and left no trace.

"Gurgle."

The three heads of the golden egg swallowed their saliva in unison.

Although this cultivator's corpse had been dead for many years, its aura had not completely dissipated, leaving behind a dull pressure that was enough to make even the most powerful demon king tremble with fear.

Transformation into a True God!

Sensing the cultivation level of the corpse's owner before death, Jin Dan subconsciously took a step back and stood guard beside Chen Beiwu.

The being capable of causing the sudden death of a Nascent Soul True Venerable here is no ordinary being; we must remain vigilant at all times.

"It's the Five Internal Organs Demon," the Fighting Demon Ape said softly.

The Five Visceral Demons are special beings that exist deep within the Heavenly Star Path. Their strength is comparable to that of a cultivator in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm, and they possess unpredictable and mysterious powers.

Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would surely die if he encountered it!

Even a Nascent Soul True Venerable who can suppress everything by following the laws of heaven and earth will be suppressed by the Dao Transformation Land and have his flesh, blood, and soul essence plundered by the Five Internal Organs Demon.

"What is the Five Visceral Demon?" Chen Beiwu asked with his divine sense.

"The Five Visceral Demons are special demons formed by the power of Dao transformation. They are: Metal Demon - Xingji Corpse, Wood Demon - Devouring Qi Vine, Water Demon - Drowning Essence Swamp, Fire Demon - Crimson Heart Demon, and Earth Demon - Blood Prison Puppet."

"Judging from the wound between the eyebrows on this corpse, it should have died at the hands of Xing Jihai."

At this point, the Fighting Demon Ape paused slightly, then changed direction: "Let's go, let's go around this area."

Chen Beiwu did not question the Fighting Demon Ape's decision.

It's better to avoid trouble. Even the Fighting Demon Ape is wary of the Demon Demon, so the Demon Demon must be extremely difficult to deal with.

But Chen Beiwu only took a few dozen steps before he sensed something was amiss, as if he were being watched by something.

"boom!"

The Fighting Demon Ape suddenly turned around, its right fist igniting with the Fighting Yuan Fire that could burn anything, and smashed down towards Chen Beiwu's head.

Chen Beiwu narrowed his eyes slightly, not believing that the Fighting Demon Ape was attacking him. He immediately formed a hand seal and turned around to unleash the Immortal Technique Mystic Power.

In an instant, a seemingly real yet illusory Azure Spirit Barrier appeared before Chen Beiwu.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing against stone resounded throughout the heavens and earth. A bloody hole slowly appeared on the right fist of the Fighting Demon Ape, which was then covered and burned by the Fighting Yuan Fire, completely restoring it to its original state.

The Azure Spirit Wall in front of Chen Beiwu suddenly shattered, producing a violent buzzing sound, and a twisted pit could be vaguely seen.

Chen Beiwu slightly turned his body to dodge the invisible mystic energy that had successively shattered the defenses of the Fighting Demon Ape and the Azure Spirit Wall. Sensing something, he looked up at the distant rock wall.

A faint golden light appeared from the cracks in the rock wall, revealing a strange demon with a body entirely of crimson gold.

It is about ten feet tall, with a hollow chest, broad shoulder bones like bat wings, and no head. Its appearance is quite ridiculous.

However, the fifth-tier heavy weapons and the remnants of fourth-tier mystic treasures he wore behind him were imbued with an indescribable aura.

This aura is extremely well-concealed; if one does not look with the naked eye, one cannot detect the slightest trace even with divine sense.

"Roar!" "Woof!" "Hey!" "Eek!"

Without saying a word, Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling immediately began to use their profound abilities.

Anyone who dares to launch a sneak attack on Chen Beiwu will surely make this demon pay a terrible price.

The Fighting Demon Ape flashed its figure and slammed a punch at Xingji's remains.

This seemingly ordinary punch contained the ferocity of fire, crushing Xingji's skeletal body into golden bone powder with overwhelming force.

"Crackling and popping!"

The raging Battle Flame swept across the heavens and earth, completely igniting the scattered golden bone powder and creating a loud explosion.

"It's over in just a second?"

Seeing that Xingji's body was completely destroyed and he had no power to resist, Chen Beiwu felt that something was wrong.

If the Five Visceral Demons were so easy to deal with, the Fighting Demon Ape wouldn't have chosen to take a detour in a different direction.

As expected, as Xingji disappeared, the entire cave suddenly shook and cracked, forming a distorted spatial passage.

A mysterious and obscure message also surged into Chen Beiwu's mind.
