A Mortal's Journey: Starting as the Young Master of Demonic Cultivation

Ji Yin smiled upon hearing this, then waved to Xuan Gu and Wen Tianren, saying in an unquestionable tone, "Those in the Core Formation stage shouldn't cause trouble here. Go wait under the altar."

Wen Tianren and Xuan Gu obediently stepped down from the altar and took a few steps back before standing up again.

However, Wen Tianren keenly sensed that Xuan Gu's gaze was constantly and subtly fixed on him, trying to see through his identity.

A moment later, Xuan Gu suddenly smiled and said in a gentle tone, "Fellow Daoist is a relative of Madam Wen of Baibi Mountain. You have already reached the late stage of Core Formation at such a young age. I believe you will definitely be able to form a Nascent Soul in the future and become famous throughout the Chaotic Star Sea."

"No, it was only because of the Ancestor's mercy. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether I could form a core or not. As for forming a nascent soul, let nature take its course. But you, fellow Daoist, saw the abnormality of that golden silkworm at a glance, and with such cultivation, you are truly extraordinary." Wen Tianren didn't understand why Xuan Gu was suddenly praising him, but he still went along with it.

Xuan Gu's eyes flickered slightly, and he changed the subject: "However, fellow Daoist, I have also heard about the disaster that befell Baibi Mountain more than a hundred years ago. There are many different opinions outside, and I am also very curious about it. Could it really have been the work of the Lan Clan's Twin Demons...?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Tianren adopted a bitter and resentful expression, his voice low and deep: "I was young at the time and survived undetected thanks to a secret treasure. In all these years of cultivation, I have been thinking about avenging my clansmen every moment. As for the enemy, my ancestor only told me to cultivate diligently and never told me. If it weren't for Senior Qingyi telling me today, I wouldn't know either."

Wen Tianren didn't know why Xuan Gu suddenly asked about this, and he didn't know much about Madam Wen's affairs.

The Lan Clan's Twin Demons were hunted down by the Twin Saints before they reached the later stages of their cultivation in their early years. It is unknown what methods these two siblings used to escape from the Twin Saints' clutches.

Afterwards, they remained hidden in various parts of the Chaotic Star Sea. It is unknown how Madam Wen's relatives provoked these two, as they actually slaughtered the relatives of the Six Paths Supreme Saint Daoist Couple, a great cultivator of the demonic path.

"Let's not talk about that. Your elders have also shown kindness to Senior Man. I suppose your family is quite renowned in the Chaotic Star Sea. May I ask your name..."

Wen Tianren and Xuan Gu probed each other with words under the altar.

Ji Yin and the others on the altar were about to begin pulling the cauldron.

"Let's get started now! Otherwise, things might change if we delay! Han Li, have your spiders spray webs to envelop the Void Heaven Cauldron, and then have it pull on it forcefully in a moment. I'll also have two fire pythons assist the Blood Jade Spiders from the side." Ji Yin ordered Han Li without any politeness.

He then turned to Qing Yi, his tone softening as he smiled and said, "My little apprentice, Han Li, will need Brother Qing's protection later."

"Of course, of course, Brother Wu, rest assured, I will definitely not let anything happen to my friend Han." Qing Yi replied with a smile.

Nodding, Ji Yin reached into his robes and pulled out a jet-black spirit beast pouch.

He turned the bag upside down and gave it a gentle shake.

After a flash of red light, two giant, fiery red pythons, each four or five zhang long, suddenly appeared on the ground.

The two monstrous pythons were covered in fiery red scales the size of fingernails, and a strange, rune-like pattern was imprinted around their heads at the seven-inch mark below their necks. Their four eyes gleamed red, as if flames were burning within them.

After landing, the fire python stretched its body and lazily coiled around.

With a flick of his finger from his Yin sleeve, two black pills flew out, and the two fire pythons swung their heads and swallowed them precisely.

"go"

Extreme Yin pointed directly at the large hole without any politeness.

Upon hearing this, the two fire pythons slowly swam to the vicinity of the cave entrance, still appearing lazy.

Seeing this, Ji Yin solemnly formed a strange hand seal and uttered an obscure incantation, as if he were activating some secret technique.

In an instant, the fire python turned red with a flash amidst the incantation, its scales changed from red to blackish-red, and it began to shake its head and wag its tail with great vigor, its eyes seemingly about to spew flames.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Two loud bangs rang out, and the fire python's two tails suddenly lashed out, the tips of which plunged fiercely into the ground near the cave entrance, tearing through the ground several feet like sharp blades.

Then their front half lunged forward, stretching out like a boneless whip, and plunged into the deep hole with lightning speed.

But their tails remained firmly stuck to the edge of the cave entrance, and the two fire pythons looked like two thin, taut black and red ropes.

Seeing this, Ji Yin's face lit up with a hint of joy, and he hurriedly shouted at Han Li, who had clenched his fists:

"Alright! They've already bitten the Void Heaven Cauldron. Disciple, quickly have your spiders pull it up with all their might. Although the Fire Python has swallowed my pill, it can't hold out in the Dry Blue Ice Flame for long. Whether we succeed or not depends on this!" After saying these words, Ji Yin's expression revealed a hint of ferocity.

Upon hearing Ji Yin's words, Han Li had no choice but to issue a command to the Blood Jade Spider.

"laugh!"

Suddenly, a milky white spider web shot out, turning into a white light and disappearing into the cave. The Blood Jade Spider pushed off the ground with its hind legs, pulling backward with all its might.

At the same time, the two black and red ropes opposite the cave entrance also began to twist and contract.

A deep rumble suddenly came from the bottom of the hole, followed by the trembling of the entire platform.

"Alright, the Void Heaven Cauldron is already shaking." Upon seeing this, Qingyi Jushi murmured nervously.

However, the Void Cauldron was extremely heavy. Even with the combined efforts of the Blood Jade Spider and the two Fire Pythons, the cauldron simply swayed back and forth at the bottom of the cave, and after a while, it showed no signs of being lifted.

After a moment of deep thought, Ji Yin spat out two mouthfuls of black essence, which instantly attached themselves to the two fire pythons. Then he turned to Man Hu Zi and said urgently, "Brother Man, please cast the Berserk spell on my disciple's Blood Jade Spider."

"Don't worry, I've got it covered." The bearded man seemed to have expected this and agreed without any surprise.

He then stared at the Blood Jade Spider, his lips moved slightly, and a blood-red light appeared in his mouth.

With a loud shout, the bearded man unleashed a beam of blood from his mouth, which struck the Blood Jade Spider's carapace.

With a "poof," the beam of light shattered the Blood Jade Spider's carapace the moment it touched it.

A large cloud of blood mist suddenly appeared all around, instantly enveloping the Blood Jade Spider. The Blood Jade Spider hissed, appearing somewhat restless, as if it had been stimulated. It stomped its eight legs on the ground, its strength increasing dramatically.

Han Li could tell at a glance that the berserk technique used by the barbarian had a great hidden danger, probably not much better than that of the Azure Flower, and would cause irreversible damage to his Blood Jade Spider.

Although he was furious about this behavior, he was now at the mercy of others and there was nothing he could do about it.

After the Berserk Technique was activated, the spirit beasts finally managed to slowly lift the Void Cauldron, moving it upwards bit by bit, and the blue light at the cave entrance became even more dazzling.

Seeing the increasingly dazzling blue light, the bearded man and his companions all revealed expressions of greed and excitement.

But this expression didn't last long, because a soft "sizzle" came from behind everyone.

Although the sound wasn't loud, the silence of everyone on the platform made it all the more jarring.

Wen Tianren's heart skipped a beat as he stood beneath the altar: his chance had come. He then feigned panic and flew to the altar with Xuan Gu.

Everyone turned around and saw Wan Tianming and his men tear through the Heavenly Net and fight their way back from the stone steps of the high platform.
