Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

After the Qi Yun Sect was destroyed, the Nine Provinces did not immediately become a paradise for immortals.

On the contrary, the real decline has only just begun.

The Heavenly Secrets Disc shattered, the Heaven-Stealing Array collapsed, and the earth's ley lines, suppressed by the Qiyun Sect for a thousand years, indeed flowed back into the world.

That miraculous rain lasted for three whole months, bringing back the dried-up river and turning barren mountains green.

Many Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators whose fates were locked up broke through their cultivation realms in those three months, weeping bitterly.

Some people reach the Nascent Soul stage in one step, while others have their white hair turn black again.

Some people, sitting in a dilapidated temple, suddenly saw their own path of cultivation, which had been suppressed by the Heavenly Secrets Disc for a lifetime.

But the damage that the Qiyun Sect inflicted on Kyushu was too profound.

It can't be made up for by a single rain shower.

The Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces, grateful to Gu Changjin for severing the Heavenly Secrets Disc and destroying the source of the Heavenly Calamity, practically doted on this body of his own as if it were his own son.

At the same time, the threshold for ascension was significantly lowered, allowing anyone who had reached the Divine Transformation stage to ascend.

Thus, the next century became the most glorious century in Kyushu.

The old demons of the demonic path couldn't wait to fly away, and the reclusive immortals among the rogue cultivators who had been hiding in the world for many years also flew away.

The old things that were hidden deep in the mountains and forests, which dared not show themselves back then, have all flown away one after another.

Many geniuses who were originally locked in their fate will usher in their final glory before the true end of the Dharma.

Over the course of a century, sword light pierced the sky, demonic clouds rose to the heavens, and demonic energy soared into the heavens.

This was the last golden age of Kyushu, and also its final, fleeting moment of glory.

A century later, spiritual energy began to truly dry up, and the once lofty cultivators gradually became legends among mortals.

The immortal cultivation sects disbanded, the cultivators' cave dwellings were abandoned, and the mortal dynasties regained control of the land.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 12199.99]

There are no longer immortals who can move mountains and fill seas, no longer great demons that devour cities and people, and no longer righteous leaders who can decide life and death with a single word.

The Nine Provinces have finally become free of demons. In Gu Changjin's words from his previous life: After the founding of the nation, no one is allowed to become a spirit.

Deep within the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, Gu Changjin stood atop the mountain, gazing at the mountains that had begun to appear ordinary.

The once demonic Wan Yao Mountain Range is now shrouded in thin mist, its spiritual veins withered and barren.

Many lesser demons have even degenerated, their minds clouded, and they have reverted to being wild beasts in the mountains.

Behind him stood the Mountain-Shaking Demon Ape, the Thousand-Legged Heavenly Centipede, the Black-Winged Wind Tiger, and the White Bone Demon Wolf.

The first four demon immortals who broke through with him did not ascend, but the demon immortals who followed him respected, revered, and feared him.

In the end, they chose to ascend to the upper realm to continue their pursuit of their own path. Only the four demon immortals who broke through at the beginning remained.

The Mountain-Shaking Demon Ape, carrying the rusty ironwood club, grinned and said, "Brother, what's the point of ascension? I think following you is much more interesting."

The centipede said sinisterly, "Ascension may not be a good thing. It's better to stay by your elder brother's side."

Blackwing Wind Tiger nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's what I think too."

The white-boned wolf added in a low voice.

"The main reason is that if I follow the eldest brother, I'm less likely to be eaten."

The Mountain-Shaking Demon Ape glared at it.

"That's a narrow-minded view of yours."

Gu Changjin smiled upon hearing this.

He had already deduced that things with life could not be taken back with their Dao fruits.

Whether it's a demon immortal or a great demon king, as long as they are still alive, they cannot leave this world of other and me with him.

We can't just eat all these old buddies just to take them back with us.

That's so unethical; at least you've made significant contributions to yourself.

Over the course of a century, he extracted the last and finest resources from the Nine Provinces to forge a treasure: the Myriad Demon Gate.

This gate is not merely a magical artifact, but a portal that carries the true spirit of the demon race, the fortune of all demons, and the remnants of the demon veins of mountains and seas.

Only by abandoning one's physical body, surrendering one's true spirit, and joining the Ten Thousand Demons Sect can one leave with him.

Gu Changjin did not force them, but simply presented the choice to the demons.

The Mountain-Shaking Demon Ape was the first to laugh. It patted its ironwood staff, just like when it first charged into the Qiyun Sect.

"Big brother, I'll clear the way!"

After saying that, its body suddenly disintegrated, its flesh and blood returning to heaven and earth. A wisp of golden ape spirit, carrying the illusory iron rod, laughed as it entered the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

The second one is the centipede.

"I am willing to follow the Demon Lord."

Blackwing Wind Tiger let out a long roar, and Wind and Thunder entered the gate.

The white-boned wolf looked at the sky, then at Gu Changjin.

"Fourth brother dares not fall behind."

It also transformed into a ghostly white spirit and entered the gate.

Subsequently, more than a dozen great demon kings who did not meet the requirements for ascension but were willing to follow Gu Changjin also laughed and abandoned their physical bodies.

"I am willing to follow the Demon Lord!!"

The Ten Thousand Demons Gate trembled, and demonic runes lit up one after another, as if the last glory of the entire Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range had been absorbed into the gate.

The remaining unenlightened little demons, or the demon beasts unwilling to leave, stared blankly at the mountain peak.

Gu Changjin gazed at them, remained silent for a moment, and finally waved his sleeve, stripping away their demonic aura and dissipating their spiritual intelligence.

One by one, the little demons fell in the mountains and forests, only to rise again.

They are no longer demons, but just ordinary wild beasts.

Deer enter the forest, monkeys climb trees, and tigers roar on the mountain ridge.

In this degenerate age, perhaps this is the only way to ensure a peaceful and stable reproduction.

After doing all this, there was no more Demon Lord in the world.

Gu Changjin stood alone atop the mountain, the Ten Thousand Demons Sect within him rising and falling.

Behind the door are the true spirits of the old brothers, including the Mountain-Shaking Demon Ape, the last remaining treasure of the entire Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.

He took one last look at the vast land of China.

The mountains and rivers remain the same, but the immortals and demons have become legends.

The next instant, the phantom of the Bashe shattered the void.

The boundary breaks, and the traces of the path return to their place.

……

Inside the main tent of the Xuan Yang Sect's front-line camp.

Gu Changjin, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, slowly opened them.

My first impression.

弱小

In the Nine Provinces world, he was later a 30,000-zhang-long Heaven-Swallowing Serpent, a Void-Returning Earth Immortal, whose coiled form could even block out the sun.

Now that he has returned to the main world, although he is still at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his physical body, his magical power, and the oppressive feeling of heaven and earth are like a primordial beast turning back into an ordinary old man.

Gu Changjin's lips twitched.

"no."

"We must break through as soon as possible."

But the next moment, his eyes lit up.

This time the harvest was enormous; he had practically plundered the entire Nine Provinces world.

All the innate spiritual objects, the divinely ordained spiritual materials, the foundation of the Qiyun Sect, and the remnants of the Blood Coffin that brought prosperity were refined by the Dao Fruit.

The process of deduce the Myriad Demons Covering the Sky Formation, refine the Myriad Demons Gate, and strengthen the demon body consumed a great deal of resources.

But in the end, only two thousand strands of the Dao Yuan remained, neatly arranged.

As this trace of the Dao returned to its place, the Dao Fruit roared once more.

The Devouring Heaven Serpent's lifelong cultivation, bloodline, Daoist essence, combat experience, and insights into the Great Dao of Devouring were transformed into a vast torrent that poured into its body.

Another thousand strands of the Dao Yuan were condensed.

Three thousand strands.

Gu Changjin's heart skipped a beat.

That's not all; the Ten Thousand Demons Sect also returned.

With a thought, an ancient demon gate slowly emerged from the depths of his soul.

Inside the gate, the true spirits of the four great demon immortals—the Mountain-Shaking Demon Ape, the Thousand-Legged Heavenly Centipede, the Black-Winged Wind Tiger, and the White Bone Demon Wolf—slept soundly.

He can summon four Nascent Soul level True Spirits to fight if he so desires.

Although he was not a true physical demon immortal, the duration of his existence was supported by his magical power and the Dao Yuan of Returning to One.

But this level of prestige is already intimidating enough.

The Nascent Soul cultivator casually opened the door, and four Divine Transformation True Spirits stepped out.

Who wouldn't be confused by this?!

Moreover, there are more than a dozen great demon kings' true spirits available.

Gu Changjin took a deep breath.

But the next moment, his expression changed slightly.

The bloodline of the Devouring Heaven Serpent began to nourish its own body.

The physical body, bones, qi and blood, and spirit are all undergoing a crazy transformation under the nourishment of the Dao Fruit.

A low, serpentine hiss came from within his body.

That's not a breakthrough in cultivation.

It is the body that is breaking through the limits.

Without hesitation, Gu Changjin flashed and hid directly inside the fragment of the Xuanming Cave Heaven.

At the front-line camp outside, everything is as usual.

Inside the cave, the black and gold scales around Gu Changjin flashed and disappeared.

Blood boils, physique surges, boom!

A Nascent Soul level physical body has been achieved.
