He cultivated himself into a Dao Ancestor starting from Qi Refining.

Lin Shaoyu learned about the existence of the "Flawless Old Demon" by observing Lu Jinghong's past through the "Self-Severing Technique".

The five special candidates that Lu Jinghong needed, if traced back to their origins, would all be found to come from a now-extinct cultivation family.

However, this family of cultivators was located in the Eastern Immortal Land, one of the four Immortal Lands of the Primordial Immortal Sect. At its peak, it was even powerful enough to influence a mortal dynasty.

It can be said.

Such a family of cultivators is already terrifying.

Even though the Yan and Yue kingdoms had several sects within their dynasties, none of these sects could influence a mortal dynasty, but that immortal cultivation family could.

That family of cultivators was called the Shangguan Family.

But later, for reasons unknown, a shocking change occurred, and the powerful Shangguan family disintegrated overnight, scattered completely, and disappeared from this world.

Lu Jinghong had already found four suitable candidates, and only one was missing. Originally, Lu Jinghong had deduced that the fifth candidate was in Black Stone City. In order to cover his tracks, he sent the weakest puppet, but unexpectedly, an accident occurred, and the puppet died at the hands of Lin Shaoyu.

Naturally.

The self-inflicted injury technique, the Penglai Island token, and some corresponding resources originally prepared for the other party all ended up in Lin Shaoyu's hands.

As for the fifth candidate that Lu Jinghong deduced, it was 'Shen Baige'. Lin Shaoyu only found out after he had gathered enough destiny points and peered into the past.

Unfortunately, Shen Baige had already died at Lin Shaoyu's hands before this. If Lin Shaoyu had known in advance, he might have spared Shen Baige's life, since a living Shen Baige would have been more valuable.

"A place like the Guanhai Kingdom is close to the Endless Sea, and it has been dealing with the demon race for many years. There are even disciples of the Primordial Immortal Sect."

Lin Shaoyu pondered for a moment, "Therefore, we need stronger forces to guard this place. Take Fuhai City for example, there are nine outer disciples of the Dry Bone Demon Sect guarding it. Moreover, they must be outer disciples who have reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining and have mastered four minor divine abilities. Otherwise, they are not qualified to guard it."

"certainly."

"The rewards for guarding such a place are extremely high, and you can also obtain many precious resources by fighting against the demon race. There are also many opportunities to explore in the Endless Sea."

"Not only that."

Lin Shaoyu continued, "In addition to sending outer disciples, the Bone Demon Sect also sent inner disciples to guard the area. There are three inner disciples of the Bone Demon Sect guarding the area within the Guanhai Kingdom."

"The Flawless Old Demon is one of them."

"And the Flawless Old Demon is an inner disciple of the Ten Thousand Demon Peak of the Withered Bone Demon Sect."

After flying out of Fuhai City, Lin Shaoyu piloted his flying boat at an extremely high speed, rapidly heading in a certain direction, while the outer disciples of Fuhai City watched him leave.

"Can you tell who this person comes from?"

"A thick fog!"

"My supernatural powers have absolutely no effect on him!"

"That's a ruthless person!"

"Don't provoke him. Although we don't know who he is or what he wants to do here, we don't think we can get involved in this. So just do nothing and pretend you know nothing."

The outer disciples guarding Fuhai City were already talking in secret. They were very cautious and dared not provoke Lin Shaoyu, because they could not find any information about him. Faced with such a mysterious and unpredictable existence, the best way was to pretend that they knew nothing and do nothing. Only in this way could they avoid provoking him and avoid getting into trouble as much as possible.

An hour later.

Lin Shaoyu had long since flown out of the Guanhai Kingdom's territory, as he had entered the Endless Sea region. Beneath his feet was a sea area, but it could only be considered the seashore, with no large waves. However, he could still sense the presence of demonic beasts in the sea, and even detect the strong demonic energy of the demon race.

"arrive."

Lin Shaoyu stopped. Beneath his feet was a deserted island, uninhabited, with only stretches of desolate forest. This was the hiding place of the Flawless Old Demon.

"I am Blood Refining Heaven, and I have come to pay my respects to Fellow Daoist Wuxia."

Lin Shaoyu stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the deserted island, and spoke directly.

"Blood Refining Heaven?"

A moment later, a voice came from inside the island, hoarse and deep, "I have never heard of it, nor have I ever seen it."

"What business do you have with me?"

The voice of the Immaculate Old Demon rang out once again.

"Lu Jinghong, Penglai Island, branching out and spreading."

Lin Shaoyu did not give a direct answer, but instead said these things one after another.

boom!

next moment.

An extremely terrifying aura burst forth, accompanied by a streak of blood-red light that pierced through the air. Standing before Lin Shaoyu was an elderly man with white hair.

It was clear that the person was very old, even exuding an air of decay. His hair was almost all gone, and he was hunched over, as if half of his body had already been buried.

Lin Shaoyu has never seen a Qi Refining cultivator as old as the Flawless Old Demon, and the other party is a true master of supernatural powers, an inner disciple of the Ten Thousand Demon Peak of the Dry Bone Demon Sect.

The Flawless Old Demon.

Real name: Fan Wuji.

Lin Shaoyu learned that the Flawless Old Demon had already reincarnated for the third time, just like Lu Jinghong, but Lu Jinghong's fourth reincarnation had only just begun, and he still had plenty of lifespan left.

The Immaculate Old Demon is different. His fourth incarnation has been over for a long time, and his lifespan is almost exhausted, but he still doesn't dare to establish his foundation, as if some great terror is waiting for him to do so.

Therefore, after learning about the "Great Divine Power: Spreading Branches and Leaves," the Flawless Old Demon began to plan this Great Divine Power, because it could bring him new hope.

Naturally.

The Immaculate Demon then clashed with Lu Jinghong. The two fought several times without a clear winner, and both suffered losses. However, Lu Jinghong's third reincarnation was crippled by Zuo Qingxia, which prevented him from recovering his strength. This is why he was hiding from the Immaculate Demon.

Meanwhile, the Flawless Old Demon also figured out some of the situation on Penglai Island and learned some information about the "Great Divine Power Technique: Spreading Branches and Leaves," which is why he has been stationed in the Guanhai Kingdom ever since.

Because one of the five chosen by Lu Jinghong is in the Guanhai Kingdom, and this person has been under the surveillance of the Immaculate Old Demon, just waiting for Penglai Island to officially open so that he can hold one of the five hostage and have the qualification to compete for the 'Great Divine Power Technique: Spreading Branches and Leaves'.

To spy on fate!

launch!

With a thought, Lin Shaoyu connected his consciousness with the He Shi Bi jade, consuming ten crimson life essences. Images appeared, and Lin Shaoyu saw the information about the Flawless Old Demon.

"Another incarnation."

Lin Shaoyu frowned secretly. "It's not the real body."

What appeared was merely an avatar of the Flawless Old Demon, created through special means. Through spying on the avatar, Lin Shaoyu learned a lot about the Flawless Old Demon, but since it wasn't spying on his true form, there were still many things he couldn't learn. However, Lin Shaoyu already knew where the opponent's true form was.

The true form of the Flawless Old Demon is inside Fuhai City, and he is currently squatting by the roadside with a broken bowl in front of him, experiencing the miserable life of an old beggar.
