Immortal Rebellion: Investing in Cause and Effect, Unexpectedly Hijacking Li Muwan's Deal

Just as the green-eyed ape's movements froze, Lu Xuan moved.

His figure swayed,

It appeared as if it had teleported to the area below the throat of the blue-eyed demon ape, exposed by its roar.

No fancy magical light was used.

Lu Xuan simply pointed his fingers together like a sword.

A wisp of grayish-white sword energy, condensed from the power of cause and effect, gathered at his fingertips.

"Pfft."

With a soft sound, the sword energy sliced ​​through the demon ape's tough, dark blue-green fur as easily as cutting tofu.

Then, it precisely pierced the core of the demonic power three inches below its throat.

The sword energy entered his body, surged upwards along the demonic energy meridians, and reached the connection between his sea of ​​consciousness and demon core, carrying out a precise "sniper kill".

The enormous body of the blue-eyed demon ape trembled violently, and the surging demonic power around it began to dissipate rapidly like a punctured balloon.

The fierce light in its emerald green eyes suddenly dissipated, and its raised arms fell limply to its sides...

His entire body, like a mountain of gold and a pillar of jade collapsing, crashed backward and fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Qiu Siping watched in disbelief from afar, a chill running down his spine.

"What kind of magic is that?"

"It's not a Five Elements spell, not a soul attack, and not a binding restriction... yet it can make the demonic beast's attack dissipate on its own?"

This completely overturned his understanding of magical combat.

"Could it be a technique similar to that of a Nascent Soul stage expert?"

"Terrifying!!!"

Qiu Siping trembled, secretly relieved that he hadn't done anything rash.

Lu Xuan had already landed next to the demon ape's corpse, then took out a dagger that gleamed with blue light and began to skillfully dispose of the body.

He first peeled off an almost intact ape skin.

Then they broke open the skull and took out a perfectly intact, luminous wood-attribute demon core.

Then, extract a few of the thickest and most elastic tendons...

Finally, they completely gouged out those precious emerald green eyes.

They also removed several specific wrist and toe bones that contained special demonic power.

The whole process was smooth and seamless.

In just a quarter of an hour,

The enormous blue-eyed demon ape was transformed into a neatly categorized pile of high-grade materials, which Lu Xuan then stored in his storage bag.

Qiu Siping was completely petrified, his mouth agape enough to fit a fist, his eyes wide open.

Killing a spirit-level demon beast is not difficult.

The difficulty lies in killing and obtaining complete materials with such understated, almost dissecting precision.

This requires a thorough understanding of the structure, weaknesses, and power flow of demonic beasts, as well as absolute control over one's own power.

Killing a spirit-level monster isn't too difficult.

The difficulty lies in killing and obtaining complete materials with such understated, almost dissecting precision.

This requires a thorough understanding of the structure, weaknesses, and power of demonic beasts, as well as absolute control over one's own spiritual power.

"His control over his own spiritual power has reached an extremely refined level!" Qiu Siping was secretly shocked.

Such people are often shrewd and calculating, employing a variety of methods.

"This person can only be a friend, not an enemy!"

Thinking of this, Qiu Siping's expression became even more respectful.

After dealing with the Azure-Eyed Demon Ape, Lu Xuan returned to Qiu Siping's flying artifact.

He remained as calm as ever, as if he had merely picked a few herbs rather than devouring a powerful spirit-level demon beast.

"Keep moving forward," Lu Xuan instructed.

"Yes, senior!" Qiu Siping responded quickly and then manipulated the magic weapon to continue forward.

He's starting to understand now.

This guy probably entered this mountain range with "collecting materials" as one of his purposes.

So you don't need to be careful and take detours at all; just walk straight ahead.

Whether it's the Red-striped Python or the Thick-shelled Alligator Turtle,

Whether it's an octopus-clawed beast or a centipede,

No one who encountered Lu Xuan could escape his clutches...

Qiu Siping's heart had gone from initial shock and fear to a state of numbness and disorientation.

His original expectation was:

The two concealed their presence and moved stealthily, traversing this dangerous area as if walking on thin ice.

However, the reality is:

They rode in a rather low-grade flying artifact, swaggering through the mountains. The demonic beasts along the way rushed out like a line to their deaths, only to be casually swatted away and turned into materials by this guy…

He even felt that,

In this senior's eyes, these ferocious monsters were no different from the spiritual herbs waiting to be harvested in the herb garden or the ore waiting to be mined in the mine.

"No wonder he needs a tortoise-breathing nascent soul... Perhaps it's 'material' for him to refine some special pill or magic weapon." Qiu Siping vaguely guessed Lu Xuan's plan.

Just as Qiu Siping was lost in thought, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

A mountain peak, resembling an inverted giant sword, points straight to the sky.

Its upper half is hidden in the ever-present gray-white clouds and mist, giving it a deep, dark brown appearance.

Against the backdrop of relatively gentle hills, it appears exceptionally isolated and precipitous.

Even from a great distance, Lu Xuan could sense a faint, ancient aura, incongruous with its surroundings, emanating from that direction.

Qiu Siping pointed to the mountain peak and said respectfully, "Senior, the entrance to the cave is located halfway up that mountain."

"Lead the way," Lu Xuan said succinctly.

Qiu Siping carefully maneuvered the shuttle-shaped magical artifact and flew towards the solitary peak.

The closer you get, the more obvious that feeling of incongruity becomes.

The surroundings were unusually quiet.

Even the incessant chirping of insects and roaring of beasts had disappeared, leaving only the whistling sound of the mountain wind blowing through the cracks in the rocks.

Qiu Siping stopped about 100 feet from the foot of Gufeng Mountain.

He pointed to a seemingly ordinary, steep rock face covered in dark green moss and said:

"Senior, the entrance is right here."

The outer illusion array is arranged using the terrain and earth's energy, forming a seamless whole. Unless one knows the key points beforehand, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to detect.

He took out an antique-looking, earth-yellow token that was neither gold nor jade, and then infused it with spiritual power.

The token's surface began to glow faintly, then emitted a beam of earthy yellow light that shone on the rock wall.

The rock face rippled outwards like waves on water.

Amidst the distorted light and shadow, a deep, dark cave entrance, barely wide enough for two people to pass side by side, slowly emerged.

The edges of the cave entrance bear traces of human excavation and weathering over time.

Looking inside, all that could be seen was a bottomless darkness.

"The entrance to the cave isn't heavily guarded; it's mainly for concealment. The real test is inside," Qiu Siping explained, a hint of tension creeping into his voice.

Lu Xuan took the lead and stepped into the cave.

Qiu Siping quickly put away his magical artifact and followed closely behind.

After walking forward for about several dozen feet,

Lu Xuan and Qiu Siping passed through a bronze gate and entered the final grotto.

The cave is exceptionally spacious and high, with a concave circular area in the center.

On the stone walls at the edge of the area, countless dark, flickering ancient stone symbols are densely engraved, forming a complex and dazzling array of symbols.

These stone runes were interconnected, emanating strong spiritual energy fluctuations and a dangerous aura.

It almost explicitly states that anyone who touches it will trigger a violent attack.

In the center of the circular area, a colossal creature that inspires awe and fear!

It was a giant python formed entirely from pure, violent spiritual energy!

The giant python's body was enormous, almost filling the entire recessed area, with clearly defined scales that looked incredibly lifelike.

at this time,

It was radiating an astonishing pressure far exceeding that of an ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

With its cold, vertical pupils,

He stared intently at Lu Xuan and Qiu Siping, who had barged in.
