Demonic Demoness Training Project

The two originally wanted to ask Ancestor Qingyang for help, but at this moment, Ancestor Qingyang was standing beside Lu Li with a respectful attitude. Only then did the two realize that they had fallen into a trap, and they were so angry that their noses almost twisted out of shape.

Subsequently, despite their resistance, Lu Li also planted the Immortal Slave Seal on these two Supreme Beings.

Thus, of the nine Supreme Elders of Qingyang Palace, Lu Li has already taken control of three.

Lu Li's attempt to secretly control Qingyang Palace involves controlling too many people, which introduces unpredictable variables and is essentially asking for trouble, making her more likely to be exposed.

The Supreme Elder and Ancestor of Qingyang Palace have absolute authority. Controlling these people is equivalent to controlling Qingyang Palace, provided that they are not discovered by the three middle-level forces.

It sounds cruel, but this situation is not uncommon. Many mid-level sects appear to be independent forces, but in reality, they are actually dependent on upstream sects.

Such a relationship of dependence is often very secretive, and no one except the high-ranking members of the sect is qualified to know about it. With the Qingyang Ancestor as an inside agent, Lu Li was able to infiltrate the Qingyang Palace's punitive army very smoothly.

No disciple would notice that a strange woman had appeared in a previously empty luxury room on a certain black-gold ghost-faced ship, and no one would have imagined that the Qingyang Palace had quietly changed hands that night.

……

The next few days passed as usual, as if nothing had ever happened tonight.

Ancestor Qingyang continued to lead his army to establish his authority and collect tributes from various families. Five days later, he arrived outside the Boundless Realm.

The black-gold ghost-faced ships lined up around the Boundless Realm, forming a great earth fire array, just like on that day.

This time, however, the commander of the group was the Qingyang Ancestor. He flew out of the warship, scanned the space below, his expression was imposing and his cultivation was evident.

Ancestor Qingyang cleared his throat and said directly:

"Fellow Daoist, do you dare to come out and fight!"

The Boundless Realm was deathly silent, and no one responded. The other elders crowded around, flattering him.

"I thought it was something serious. As expected, he's a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. He didn't dare to come out when he saw the patriarch come in person."

Hearing the flattery from the crowd, Ancestor Qingyang remained silent and continued to list the crimes of Wuliang Village.

“Fellow Daoist, this is the territory of my Qingyang Palace. I have sent people to warn you many times before. Not only did you steal resources from my Qingyang Palace, but you also injured my sect elder. This is not right…”

With their ancestor present, the elders of Qingyang Palace were full of confidence, and they all followed behind their ancestor. Some of them were just taking advantage of his power, while others were stirring up trouble.

"Considering the difficulty of your cultivation, our sect's patriarch is magnanimous and may be able to make an exception for you."

"Did you hear that? If you know what's good for you, get out here right now. You're all surrounded! If you don't come out, we're going to get serious."

“Ancestor, look, these guys don’t take you seriously at all.”

Ancestor Qingyang nodded slightly and said:

"Activate the 'silver array' and force them out!"

Upon hearing this, the ten black-gold ghost-faced ships surrounding the entire Boundless Realm simultaneously activated. The moment the Earth Fire Array took shape, the earth shook and mountains trembled within a radius of five hundred miles. Countless fire dragons emerged from the cracks in the ground, wreaking havoc on everything in sight.

Just then, a purple figure finally couldn't hold back any longer and flew out from the Boundless Realm.

“Ancestor, it was him. He was the one who killed our men that day.”

"Oh?"

Ancestor Qingyang narrowed his eyes. At the same time, the two Supreme Elders, Zhu and Luo, also flew out, each summoning their own Heavenly Craftsmanship Dharma Bodies, forming a triangular shape with Ancestor Qingyang, surrounding the Body Without Dharma Bodies within.

Neither side said much, and a major battle was about to break out.

Bang bang bang!

The four Celestial Bodies attacked simultaneously, creating a chaotic and intense battle. However, the Qingyang Palace had the advantage in numbers, and the Qingyang Ancestor was already superior in cultivation level. With the help of the Earth Fire Formation, the four avatars could not withstand the onslaught alone and were quickly defeated.

In the end, the battle ended with Elder Zhu being slightly injured and his Dharma Body unable to escape with serious injuries. The success of the expedition was to be expected, and the disciples and elders on the Black Gold Ghost Mask ship were all excited.

Whenever they think of the sect's current glory and recall the majestic figure of Qingyang's Dharma Body on the battlefield, even those disciples who are huddled under the deck tending the boilers can't help but straighten their chests!

Chapter 412 Night Falls Over Qingyang Palace

Inside the boiler room, several outer disciples sat in a circle.

The great battle was won, and a joyful atmosphere filled the air. Spirit ore was thrown into the boiler to power the Black Gold Ghost Face Ship, so the temperature inside the room was extremely high.

"I told you long ago, that rabble is nothing to worry about. With my sect's patriarch taking action, it's a piece of cake."

The man next to him sneered:

"Tch, what are you so happy about? You talk like you won the fight."

"That's not how it works. We also contributed to the creation of the Ancestor's Dharma Body. Think about it, I used to work in the boiler to smelt spirit ore. The mechanical puppets made from the smelted spirit ore were then assembled onto the Ancestor's Dharma Body."

"Hiss, now that you mention it, it does make some sense. Although we didn't personally participate in this battle, we still felt somewhat involved."

Suddenly, someone outside shouted, seemingly starting a conversation:

"Oh! Ancestor Qingyang, your magical power is boundless! Ancestor Qingyang, you are invincible under heaven!"

Upon hearing this, the other disciples joined in the shouting, their voices echoing through the sky. Following the crowd is human nature, and cultivators are often not immune to it either. Once the people on this ship shouted, the disciples on the other ships followed suit.

All the disciples on the ships began to shout the name of their ancestor, and the sound was like a mountain roaring and a tsunami echoing throughout the entire Boundless Realm.

High in the sky, Ancestor Qingyang stood proudly on the cloud peak with his hands behind his back, displaying the demeanor of a great master. Several elders volunteered to continue pursuing the fleeing villains, but Ancestor Qingyang rejected their offer.

"Come back, everyone. Don't pursue a cornered enemy. There's no need to worry about him."

Everyone agreed, so they withdrew the siege formation, recalled the Black Gold Ghost-Faced Ship, sounded the retreat, and headed back home.

Ancestor Qingyang, along with the other two Supreme Elders, returned to the ship and headed straight for a luxurious room. Upon arriving outside the room, the smug look on Ancestor Qingyang's face vanished instantly, replaced by humility and a faint sense of fear.

"This old servant requests an audience..."

Who could have imagined that the dignified and arrogant patriarch, as described by his many disciples, was now standing outside the door, his posture extremely humble, referring to himself as an old servant. Behind him, the other two elders were like quails in the cold wind, not daring to breathe.

A moment later, a clear and melodious female voice came from the room:

"Come in."

After saying that, a soft click was heard, and the door to the secret room slowly opened.

Ancestor Qingyang raised his head slightly and saw the person in the room. At this moment, Lu Li was sitting on a grand chair, with her legs crossed, looking at the scenery outside the window.

All that was left for the three of them, including the Qingyang Ancestor, was a solitary and unfathomable figure.

Everything that just happened was arranged by her. It was all an act from beginning to end. Whether Elder Zhu was slightly injured or seriously injured, it was all a facade.

Lu Li could certainly declare war on Qingyang Palace. Duan Xuanyuan, Qingkui, and Shen Wu could join forces to win the battle; it would just require a bit more effort.

However, doing so would do more harm than good. The Lingxi Sect, Xuegong Sect, and Tongxian Sect are all mid-level sects that wield great influence in the cultivation world. They could easily label Lu Li as a demonic cultivator.

Because Lu Li's identity is not recognized, her occupation of the Boundless Realm is therefore illegitimate and unjustifiable. The three major sects can then use the pretext of supporting the Qingyang Palace to suppress them.

In this world, Lu Li had never heard of any demonic cultivators establishing their own sect.

This is not because those who founded schools of thought were all virtuous people; quite the opposite is true.

A sect may be corrupt, lawless, and utterly devoid of conscience, but as long as it is a sect, it must be a righteous force tacitly approved by the upstream sects.

Conversely, Qingyang Palace won a great victory. The villains in Wuliang Village were outnumbered and fled in defeat. Wuliang Realm was taken over by Qingyang Palace. Everything seemed so natural and justified.

"Master, what should be done with this Boundless Realm in the future?"

"For the next few years, you will send people to collect spiritual materials for two months each year. If the production of spiritual materials decreases, you will claim that the environment of the Boundless Realm has changed, which has led to a decrease in the production of spiritual materials. Don't worry about anything else."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

"Furthermore, how much Void Uranium does your sect have left?"

“Uranium from the Ruins… there shouldn’t be much left. As for the raw ore, there are probably only thirty to fifty shi left. A few years ago, the Blood Mercury Sect, the Tongxian Sect, and the Qingyang Palace bought up Ruins uranium on a large scale, and they also took away the mining rights of our sect’s Ruins mine.”

"Whoa!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Li felt completely bewildered.

The foundation of the mid-level sects far exceeded expectations. It seemed that the three forces had anticipated her emergence. In order to prevent her from continuing to refine the Guixu Seal, the three forces actually joined forces and bought up all the Guixu uranium on the market.

Acquiring uranium from the market is one thing, but not even sparing the uranium veins themselves is utterly heinous. Such a simple and unpretentious battle between cultivators.

Doing this is tantamount to throwing spirit stones at her. How rich must someone be to do something like this? Don't deliberately give her spirit stones.

Refining the Boundless Blessing Return to the Void Seal is secondary. After Lu Li successfully transcended the tribulation and broke through to the Heavenly Crafting Realm, his mastery of the Puppet Dao greatly increased, and he also had some ideas about the Boundless Blessing Return to the Void Seal. However, these ideas only remained in his mind, and there was still a long way to go before he could actually refine it.

Without the Guixu Mine, the most significant impact was on the Daofan Tiangang Instrument.

Activating this item also requires the consumption of uranium and plutonium from the Void, which can forcibly raise Lu Li's realm in a short period of time. This is Lu Li's biggest trump card.

Lu Li brought out a total of two hundred uranium pills and twenty plutonium pills from the Divine Cave Heaven. After the battle at the gate, twenty uranium pills and two plutonium pills were used up, leaving one hundred and eighty uranium pills and eighteen plutonium pills.

The consumption of the Six-Turn Reversal Heavenly Dipper Instrument is far greater than that of the Five-Turn Instrument. It takes a hundred uranium pills and ten plutonium pills to maintain the future body state for one hour.

At present, Lu Li has a limited supply of Guixu ore, and every ore he uses is one less available.

Things are unpredictable. The immortal clans originally intended to target the Guixu Seal, but by accident, they ended up restricting Lu Li's Reversal Heavenly Dipper Instrument.

"Bring over all the Guixu Mine you have, as well as these spiritual materials, as much as you have. If you ask, just say you need them for your cultivation."

"As the saying goes, without rules, there can be no order. According to the old servant's sect's procedures, such a large amount of resource utilization must be reported. This is a rule that the old servant set back then. If it needs to be changed, the other elders need to be informed."

“It’s alright, I’ll go back with you. You can call those Supreme Elders and the elders in charge of the warehouse over separately, and I’ll talk to them.”

Although it was called a conversation, the three people present all knew what Lu Li wanted to do, and they couldn't help but shudder.

The sky over this sect has finally fallen dark...

Chapter 413 It's a lie that it's not sour at all.

A month later, the first batch of Yan Clan members entered the Boundless Realm.

This group of Yan Clan members, wielding various Yan tools, were gathering spiritual materials from the Boundless Realm, much like a well-trained ant colony.

Previously, Lu Li had limited manpower, only twenty people, and the speed at which she could collect spiritual materials was far slower than the speed at which spiritual materials were generated in the Boundless Realm, which resulted in the productivity within the Boundless Realm being consistently limited.

Now, things are different. With the addition of the Yan Clan, the potential of the Boundless Realm has been fully unleashed, and the mining speed of spiritual materials has increased dramatically.

This is only the first batch of Yan thawed tribes, generally only at the first level, with a total of 500 people. On average, it costs 30 spirit stones to thaw each person, for a total cost of 15,000 spirit stones.

The cost of thirty spirit stones is negligible compared to training a puppeteer; the productivity brought by these five hundred puppeteers is immeasurable.

With the secret support of Qingyang Palace, Lu Li quickly collected enough Guiyuan Lead and, with the help of the large-scale Yan Formation, forged five hundred sets of Guiyuan Lead Armor.

Five hundred people is already the limit of the Boundless Realm, but it is far from the limit of the Yan Clan. In the future, as the scale of production expands, more Yan Clan members can be gradually unfrozen.

As its power expanded, the number of disciples in Qingyang Palace more than doubled compared to the past. Even so, Qingyang Palace still did not have enough manpower to maximize the benefits of the spiritual materials in the resource points.

Lu Li is different. Given enough time to completely thaw the million Yan Clan population, she would have more than enough time to mine the spiritual materials of the entire Liubao River basin.

Lu Li roughly estimated that it wouldn't be necessary to have a million; just 200,000 Yan tribesmen, equipped with logging-type Yan tools of the corresponding grade, would be enough to take over all the resource points in the entire Liubao River basin.

Lu Li had spent some time in the Lingxi Sect before, so she knew a little about the situation within the sect. Not only the Qingyang Hall, but the entire Lingxi Sect was facing similar difficulties.

Lingxi Sect possesses multiple blessed lands, most of which were left behind by powerful figures from past generations of the sect. However, Lingxi Sect has limited manpower, so these blessed lands are left unmanaged.

The Stone Forest Blessed Land is one example. The Lingxi Sect established a branch in the Stone Forest Blessed Land and absorbed the exiled elders and disciples of the White Moon Palace to manage and exploit the Stone Forest Blessed Land.

In addition, the situation of the Blood Mercury Sect should be similar, which is why these two major sects have always wanted to capture the Yan Clan.

Previously, the Yan Clan was trapped by the shackles of the divination cave, unable to leave. Now that the Yan Clan has successfully left the cave, they have become a coveted prize in the eyes of these three forces.

Due to a combination of factors, the current situation has ultimately taken place.

On the one hand, Lu Li was cautious and dared not reveal too much, so she controlled the upper echelons of Qingyang Palace and let Qingyang Palace handle everything. On the other hand, the three major sects wanted to keep this prize to themselves and did not want more people to know about it.

Now, Lu Li's concern is not a lack of manpower, but a lack of job opportunities. Whenever she thinks about this, she can't help but sigh.

"What a pity, if only I had a few blessed lands and grotto-heavens..."

The more blessed lands and grottoes there are, the more job opportunities there will be. Luli cannot absorb the million-strong population of the Yan tribe in a short period of time, so it can only proceed gradually.

Based on the monthly income of spirit stones, it is more than enough to support Lu Li's current cultivation.

After a month, Lu Li increasingly appreciated the benefits of Qingyang Palace.

Lu Li first returned to the sect with the expeditionary army, where she enslaved the remaining elders of Qingyang Hall. Then she went to the warehouse and took away some spiritual materials, including all the Guixu ore.

From these ore deposits, a total of eighty uranium pills and eight plutonium pills were refined. The quantity was not large, but it was better than nothing.

Qingyang Palace is, after all, a prestigious and righteous sect in the eyes of everyone. Purchasing spiritual materials under the name of Qingyang Palace is naturally much more convenient than for Lu Li. With Lu Li's previous savings, she quickly gathered the spiritual materials needed to refine Lu Ling's five-fold body.

As for the Six-Turn Body, it requires a wide variety of spiritual materials, and they are very expensive. Even the Qingyang Ancestor himself is only at the late stage of the Heavenly Crafting Realm, so it is not easy for him to gather them all in a short period of time.

Lu Li planned to refine her younger sister's body first. Having a body was better than having none, and it wasn't good for her to stay in her sea of ​​consciousness forever.
