Uncle Nine: Starting with double pupils, he turned his master into a zombie.

After listening to Si Mu's story.

Li Yu's eyes were filled with excitement.

A Golden Core Demon King who has been suppressed?

Having been sealed for a hundred years, it's not just on the verge of death, it's definitely beyond recognition.

If I can kill it, I will gain intermediate-level Ascension Power!

Double pupils, Yin spirit body... and even the magic he possesses.

No matter which one you choose, you will experience a qualitative leap!

It's hard not to be tempted!

As for its exaggerated immortality, it could even survive being chopped into pieces, leaving no choice but to suppress it.

Li Yu was curious about what would happen if he used the Hellfire.

What kind of state would the Golden Core Demon become?

Being burned and regenerating at the same time, experiencing the ultimate pain?

Of course, Li Yu was only thinking about it and would not actually do something reckless like breaking the seal and trying to kill it!

Those who reach the Golden Core Realm can be called True Persons, while demons and monsters can be crowned Kings!

Even if such an existence is weak or insignificant, it is not something that a Foundation Establishment cultivator can easily challenge.

Although Li Yu's combat strength far surpassed that of others in the same realm, he did not want to take the risk.

After all, who would want to play a losing game when they can dominate? He's not some Chizuru...

Anyway, that great demon is suppressed in the bamboo mountain; he can neither die nor escape.

Why not wait until I break through to the Golden Core stage and then conveniently take it away?

Immortality? He'll see how immortal he is then!

Many thoughts flashed through my mind.

He glanced at Si Mu, who was still babbling and complaining about Master Ikkyu.

Li Yu decisively shut down his hearing, and every now and then he would make sounds like "hmm" and "it can be like this? This is too bad."

Seeing that every word received a response, Si Mu felt extremely satisfied and immediately began to complain wildly.

It wasn't until two hours later that Si Mu realized something was wrong.

"Fellow Daoist Li, are you listening?"

"Uh-huh!"

Are you really listening?

"You can do that?!"

"You weren't listening at all!"

"That's so mean!"

"Fellow Daoist Li!!!"

..................

Two days later, Li Yu and Simu arrived at a fork in the road.

Next, the two went their separate ways.

In those two short days, Li Yu often infuriated Simu to the point of near death, and sometimes even choked him to the point of being speechless.

However, Si Mu still quite approves of Li Yu.

Seeing the impending separation, I couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

"Fellow Daoist Li, if you have time in the future, you must visit my Bamboo Mountain."

"I'll introduce you to the bald monk from the White Horse Temple then!"

Just imagining Ikkyu's green face when he faced Li Yu, he couldn't help but smile, filled with anticipation.

Li Yu naturally agreed, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.

"Yes, I will go."

"You too, contact me if you need anything, so you don't suffer any losses."

Si Mu didn't understand Li Yu's deeper meaning; he only thought that Li Yu was concerned about her, and he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.

Sigh... Fellow Daoist Li has a sharp tongue and acts infuriatingly.

But actually, he's a really nice person!

"Oh dear, nothing could happen to me, don't worry!"

"Fellow Daoist Li, you mustn't go back on your word! Come see me in Zhushan as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Si Mu shook his copper bell and, along with his bosses, hopped and skipped away into the forest.

Li Yu withdrew his gaze and looked towards Hengcheng.

A sudden, turbulent, fishy wind arose, and in an instant, the grass and trees bowed low, and all was silent!

All living things in the mountains and forests trembled at this moment, not daring to make a sound, for fear of startling that terrifying being!

As the stench subsided, Li Yu's figure also vanished...

...............

Hengcheng is a rather prosperous city located on the banks of the Gan River.

Although it is not as good as the provincial capital, Nanjing, it is not comparable to any small town.

As a gathering place for cultivators, the Hengcheng Gathering could not possibly be open within the city.

Otherwise, if a large number of cultivators and mortals stayed together, who knows what kind of trouble might arise!

In the northern part of Hengcheng, there is a valley.

Since ancient times, this place has been plagued by miasma and has a dangerous terrain.

No one would be so foolish as to come here.

Therefore, the Hengcheng assembly was held here!

A massive maze lies here; if any mortal were to stumble upon it, they would instantly be trapped in an illusion.

When it is conscious, it has already left this area and will not disturb it!

The Hengcheng rally will be open for one month.

Cultivators from all over the world arrived early to begin preparations.

Even though it was only the start of the day, the market instantly became bustling.

A constant stream of hawking cries filled the air!

"Dust-Cleansing Talisman! The best treasure for maintaining a master's image while navigating the world, now 20% off!"

"Grain-Breaking Pill! Allows you to retreat in peace, no longer troubled by hunger. Superior quality, one pill will keep you from feeling hungry for ten days!"

"The low-grade magic weapon, the Demon-Slaying Sword, is exceptionally sharp, capable of cutting through iron like mud. Demons and monsters will surely turn tail and run at the sight of it!"

"My partner isn't home, and I'm lonely. For the ultimate dual cultivation method, contact me tonight!"

"Three thousand? That's too expensive! Let's discuss it!"

"Idiot, do you think I'm selling fasting pills? You think I can haggle over the price?!"

"What? What's wrong with me selling fasting pills? You wait, tonight I'll use the money from selling fasting pills to teach you a lesson!"

"........."

In the center of the valley stands a building.

The gilded sandalwood plaque is engraved with strong and upright characters.

Qingyun Pavilion!

Qing Shi Sanren and Yun Xi Sanren reside here.

They were the initiators of this gathering in Hengcheng, and also close friends!

Both of them were kind-hearted and always made friends with others, never making enemies.

Therefore, it has a great reputation and a very good reputation in the Ganjiang area!

Therefore, with a wave of his hand, he was able to create this grand occasion where a thousand cultivators gathered together to exchange ideas!

As time went by, more and more distinguished guests arrived at the gathering and entered Qingyun Pavilion!

These are all Foundation Establishment cultivators, so their treatment is naturally different from that of the Qi Refining ants below. They will be personally received by Qing Shi Sanren and Yun Xi Sanren!

Some of the visitors were their friends, some were invited, and some came after hearing the news.

But in any case, they accepted each other and sat together chatting and laughing.

"Speaking of which, the last time we held a rally was five years ago, wasn't it?"

"Yes, five years have flown by. I feel like it was just two days ago!"

"Seeing these energetic young people makes me feel younger too."

"........."

The Foundation Establishment cultivators chatted idly, one sentence after another.

Just then, Yunxi Sanren suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked towards the entrance of the valley.

Seeing his old friend acting strangely, Qing Shi Sanren couldn't help but ask.

"What's going on? Did your old flame come?"

"I have no time to joke with Qing Shi," Yunxi Sanren said seriously.

"I sense a powerful being approaching, a very, very powerful one!"

"Moreover... this aura is probably not friendly!"

Upon hearing this, Qing Shi Sanren spoke indifferently.

"Strong? Even if you're strong, can you be stronger than the two of us combined?"

Qing Shi Sanren and Yun Xi Sanren have traveled the world for many years, making friends everywhere.

It wasn't their peaceful hearts that mattered; rather, it was their formidable strength!

Both of them have the cultivation level of the peak of Foundation Establishment, and have been companions for many years, with excellent teamwork!

Three ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators would not be a match for the two.

To keep them, you don't even need five people!

Faced with Qing Shi's words, Yunxi Sanren hesitated for a moment before nodding emphatically!

In an instant, Qing Shi Sanren was no longer frivolous, and his face turned serious.

Their strength is formidable; even the two of them might not be a match for them, and their aura is not that of a friendly opponent...

I just hope it's not some kind of demonic or heretical practice, or anything like that...

Just then, a gust of turbulent, foul wind swept in!
