My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

Lin Ye activated the Burning Heaven Seal and smashed it directly at the Illusion Demon. As for why she didn't smash the Desire Demon, firstly, she had no hostile behavior at the moment, so she had to wait for the Demon behind her; secondly, the Illusion Demon possessed the power of Taiyi, so hitting it would be equivalent to hitting two at the same time.

Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, and with the towering seal that seemed to be a celestial artifact getting closer and closer, the Great Demon of Illusion felt a little resentful. "Damn it, they're all great demons, why are they attacking me and not her?"

The Great Demon of Illusion gritted its teeth and used its power to root its legs to the ground. Unfortunately, the palace was the territory of the Lord of the Great Wilderness, and it could only draw power from the shallow layer of the ground in the blood mist. Then, it tried its best to transform its body into a posture to resist the flames!

If you can withstand this attack, you can escape!

boom!

The Heaven-Burning Seal crashed down, leaving the Illusory Demon bewildered. Why did this thing not match its appearance? It wasn't fire damage, but physical damage.

Blood splattered everywhere.

The illusory demon was pressed deep into the ground. After Lin Ye retrieved the Heaven-Burning Seal, its scattered blood turned black and disappeared. It sacrificed this part of its essence blood and used the power of the earth veins to teleport away.

This teleportation method ignores the spatial lock that the Human Pillar God has just activated. Taiichi's power is somewhat domineering, almost like the rules of space but not quite the same. It has the charm of the flow of earth veins and fortune in its magic.

The Demon of Desire also turned around, the thin veil on her face fluttering in the wind, her hands behind her back, and gave Lin Ye a meaningful look.

"I will come to see you again."

"If you want, we can date normally."

With that, the Demon of Desire blinked and disappeared into a blood-red doorway.

Xiao Zui wanted to chase after him, but Lin Ye called him back.

Lin Ye swept his spiritual energy around and collected the small amount of residual power left behind by the few remaining illusory demons on the ground. He called Huang Zhou to retrieve it for research purposes, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As the saying goes, don't pursue a defeated enemy. It's enough to thwart their attack. If you follow them, who knows where you'll be teleported to? Besides, you can't fight that many powerful demons anyway.

"This newly formed blood mist is a bit too close to the Demon Subduing Workshop. Fortunately, the talent pool we've gathered during this time hasn't been for nothing. We need to have Huang Zhou find someone to clean it up." Lin Ye's eyes flashed as he returned to the Demon Subduing Workshop.

The cultivators lined the road to welcome him, surrounding Lin Ye as if he were a savior, and many cultivators with the bloodline of exotic beasts also showed him great concern.

At this moment, Lin Ye learned from the message sent by the scouts of the mysterious realm that after the two great demons returned, a small-scale internal conflict broke out between the two camps. As expected, the Desire Demon had only watched the whole time.

What Lin Ye didn't expect was that their internal conflict ended when the illusory demon also transformed into a female figure.

No, did you think I would stop working on it just because of the appearance of the Desire Demon?

Lin Ye wouldn't show mercy based on his opponent's gender or appearance; it's purely a matter of priority.

However, for the False Demon, it might be worth a try. After all, demons can change their form, and since the False Demon's true form is humanoid, changing to a human form would have little impact on it.

Just as he returned to the vicinity of the Lin residence, the projection of the true form of Huang Zhou transformed into a blood-red inscription shining brightly in the air, bringing a simple-minded-looking young man to Lin Ye's side, and said: "According to analysis and calculation, this is the cultivator under the Fumofang who is most likely to pass the bloodline test, protect his own bloodline, and at the same time dispel a blood mist!"

"His bloodline is that of the Winged Cloud Leopard, and he possesses both excellent willpower and temperament."

Lin Ye nodded and looked at the boy: "Kid, do you want to try? You might die."

The boy remained calm and shook his head: "I wish to ask His Highness the Demon King..."

"Was the enemy in the blood mist that Your Highness just dealt with a Great Demon?"

Lin Ye nodded. "They are two great demons."

"Is that so!" The boy was somewhat shocked.

He then bowed and said, "I am willing to dispel the blood mist outside the Demon Subduing Pavilion for Your Highness, the Demon King."

Lin Ye's eyes flickered slightly. Although the Winged Cloud Leopard was not weak, it belonged to the lower tier among the bloodlines of exotic beasts.

Let him go and disperse the blood mist around the Demon Subduing Workshop; that would be perfect.

Because the bloodline only has one chance to pass the challenge.

Dispelling the blood mist is also a one-time use only!

Moreover, only those with the most adaptable beast bloodline, such as Lin Ye and Xu Sanjiu the Nine-Tailed Cat, can pass the bloodline test, which is extremely rare.

"If it weren't for His Highness the Demon King, I would have died in the shantytown of Lingxiao City long ago," the boy said loudly.

Lingxiao City?

It seems that this promising talent was a bonus I collected when I went to Lingxiao City to gather information about the Li family and those in the Qingyang Sect who knew about the matter, thereby strengthening my control over Lingxiao City.

At this moment, the boy seemed to remember something and quickly said, "Ah... I asked earlier if the enemy was a great demon not because I was unwilling to risk my life for His Highness the Demon King, but because I wanted to use my opportunity to help you as much as possible."

Many young cultivators with the bloodline of exotic beasts greatly admire Lin Ye, and this young man was no exception. He was unwilling to lower his idol's reputation by saying the wrong thing.

Lin Ye nodded, summoned a flying boat, and said, "Go, kid. You can pay back the life you owe me slowly. Come back alive."

"Yes!" The boy took a deep breath, boarded the flying boat, and was sent to the place where the blood mist was located.

Soon.

From the rooftop of the Lin residence, Lin Ye saw the blood mist transform into countless particles of light, which were instantly dispersed.

Lin Ye nodded with delight and said, "Huang Zhou, arrange the best cultivation path and a suitable master for my good-natured boy. We must not mistreat such a meritorious person."

As soon as he spoke, Huang Zhou nodded and immediately made the arrangements: "Understood, Master."

.......

After a busy half-day, the Demon Emperor's Crown Prince finally escaped from the endless stream of official business related to the blood disaster, his face showing his exhaustion.

Flipping through the memorials concerning other matters, the Crown Prince hesitated to look. He turned to the top one, and sure enough, it concerned the Fifteenth Prince!

The Demon Emperor's Crown Prince's expression changed. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly flipped through the documents.

"Become the Demon King, declare himself Crown Prince... What!?"

The Crown Prince's face turned ashen. He instantly regretted not paying attention to the news about the Fifteenth Prince in time. The Fifteenth Prince had already declared himself king and called him a fake Crown Prince. He had even started calling himself the Crown Prince!

He slammed the memorials down on the table in anger, gritting his teeth as he said, "This is outrageous! Fifteenth Prince, you've gone too far!"

Faced with the changing situation and balance of power, it is now the fifteenth prince who is pressing forward step by step!

But the Demon Emperor's Crown Prince was not flustered, for he had already made a deal with some unimaginable evil beings.

However, contact with the Great Demon is extremely dangerous; can one truly guarantee their safety...?

The Demon Emperor's Crown Prince lit the memorial concerning Lin Ye with his spiritual fire, then slumped into a chair as if his bones had been removed, remaining silent for a long time.

"I should now inherit the throne in order to restore the power of Demon Emperor Mountain!"

"However, even with the help of the Great Demon's power, they cannot appear in the open. How can this be handled better than the Fifteenth Prince's?"

The fifteenth prince is far more troublesome than imagined. The demon emperor's crown prince and his faction can only do their best and leave the rest to fate, and be mentally prepared for anything.

Chapter 358 The Remnants of the Lesser Immortal Realm (4k)

The Fifth Prince was completely bewildered when he turned to the next report.

It is said that the fifteenth brother defeated a fully-formed demon in the late Mahayana stage. The difference in combat power between the fourth and seventh levels of Mahayana is equivalent to that of dozens of cultivators who have just entered the Mahayana stage!

How could he not know that his younger brother had made such rapid progress over the years... In just over a decade since their last meeting, he was already comparable to the teachers of Qiankun Academy and Chu Yingxing of Wanbaolou?!

The fifth prince dared not think about it further, feeling extremely jealous.

He often thought that as a young cultivator, it would be great if he could quickly acquire the power of his seniors, otherwise he would be constantly hampered and unable to use his wisdom and strategies.

But the fifteenth prince was able to do just that!

The fifth prince gritted his teeth, thinking, 'If only my father hadn't suddenly passed away...'

'I will cultivate diligently under his wing, not resting until I reach the Great Ascension stage. How could I possibly have the leisure to deal with my elder brother... or kill my brothers and sisters... all of this is because of my father...'

He took a deep breath and quickly swallowed a pill to suppress his restless mind.

The vast gap between each level of Mahayana cultivators can only be bridged by Lin Ye through the support of high-level spiritual energy and top-tier rare treasures.

However, no matter how panicked he was, the Demon Emperor's Crown Prince could only hope that the power of the Great Demon could bring him victory.

Negotiating with the Great Demon, which felt like walking on a knife's edge, was still better than losing to the Fifteenth Brother. He felt he still had a chance of survival with the former, but as for falling into the Fifteenth Brother's hands...

I'm afraid he will definitely die.

"Azure Dragon Divine Blood... I think they will need this."

The Demon Emperor's Crown Prince pondered silently.

at the same time.

Deep within the boundless expanse of Demon Emperor Mountain, an old white-bearded dragon with an aura that was neither fully emanating nor fully receding slightly opened its narrow eyes, a strange expression flashing within them.

While the Demon Emperor's Crown Prince was nervously considering his plan, Lin Ye was stroking the Burning Heaven Seal with satisfaction.

This broken immortal artifact is really useful.

Just now, it folded up the illusory demon! And even with precautions, this thing is so powerful that it can overcome any magic, so it's actually very difficult to resist.

After putting away the Burning Heaven Seal, Lin Ye began studying the panel's tasks, preparing to make further use of them.

Aside from the Great Calamity, Lin Ye has only triggered a small quest during the King Conferment ceremony.

[Conferment of Kingship Ceremony]

[Completed]

[Average favorability with all factions across the four continents +81, average favorability with all factions in the Eastern Divine Continent +120]

[Demon Emperor Mountain - Crown Prince Faction Affection -245 Current Relationship: -650 (Hate to the core)]

"Faction favorability...that's just a reference value, right?" Lin Ye pondered. At the same time, his spies planted in the underground kingdom were trying to make contact with the beings of the Desire Demon faction and were constantly sending back messages.

Lin Ye noticed that the favorability rating of the Desire Demon faction was gradually fluctuating as the spies made contact.

"Indeed, the favorability of a power is a reference value, which will be revised as the amount of information increases. The more contact you have, the more accurate the reference becomes."

"Holy crap, in other words—this mission has absolutely no reward?!"

Lin Ye inwardly gave the middle finger with disdain. It seemed that the mechanism stolen from the evolution space was not perfect yet, and getting gold coins required luck.

However, this mechanism itself is very informative.

"The favorability ratings of forces like the Imperial Palace and Wanbaolou should be quite accurate, and the forces in the Eastern Divine Continent are generally quite accurate as well." Lin Ye felt a bit strange. With his status, he was a prominent figure in the Eastern Divine Continent. He wondered what level of favorability he received from various forces.

He flipped directly to the bottom.

[Current Relationship: Underground Kingdom - 869 (Deep-seated Hatred)]

According to the reference values, the one with the worst relationship with Lin Ye was actually the underground kingdom controlled by the Great Demons.

The second most important faction is the Demon Emperor's Crown Prince faction.

Not everyone in the Crown Prince's faction is on his side, which lowers the score.

There is a subordinate relationship between factions, just like the Imperial Palace is a subordinate force of the Great Wilderness Royal Court, and the Demon Subduing Workshop is a subordinate force of the Imperial Palace.

In fact, if Lin Ye wanted it, he could ask the young emperor for the palace.

If he wanted to inherit the throne of the Great Wilderness Emperor ahead of schedule, he only needed to ask his master...

However, this does not bring any benefit.

Lin Ye has not yet become stronger than his master.

By leveraging a high level of goodwill, you can obtain these items. While the impact may be minor, there are still some subtle inconveniences.

We're all family, there's really no need for that.

Lin Ye was unaware that the spies had discovered upon contact that the core team of the Desire Demon in the underground kingdom was entirely composed of human female beings.

Lin Ye suddenly realized.

In order to deal with themselves, a humanoid race actually emerged from the creations of the Great Calamity.

This is... a succubus?

In their past lives, they were tentacle monsters!

Lin Ye fully felt the influence he had on the Demon of Desire. That was probably not a transformation, but her true form.

Moreover, although the overall level of hatred towards the Great Demon faction is quite high, the level of favorability towards the Desire Great Demon faction, which is one of its subordinate forces, seems somewhat strange, thus lowering the score.

[Current Relationship: Underground Kingdom - Desire Demon Faction 60/100 (Curiosity)]

"As my natural enemy, it's actually a positive affinity! That tentacle monster's affinity towards me is quite strange..." Lin Ye shook his head repeatedly, "I have to be careful."

[Current Relationship: Palace of the Mechanical City 4530/5000 (Exalted)]

As expected, the highest-ranking palace was the imperial palace.

As for the Demon Subduing Pavilion, it belongs to Lin Ye's private territory, so there is no concept of favorability.

Instead, there is a concept of organization.
