Chapter 991: The Patriarch of Nine Heavens Dang Demon
Yuan Zhen, who was refining spiritual energy at Tongtian Peak, suddenly seemed to sense something and opened his eyes abruptly.
There was nothing in front of her, but she turned around immediately and saw a figure with white hair and a youthful face standing in front of the Tongtian Liandao Tower.
"Meet the Master!"
The moment Yuan Zhen saw Yuan Qingque, he immediately saluted.
"Well, I'm here to take care of some things. You should pack up as well, and I'll take you to the battlefield at the border later."
Yuan Qingque waved his hand, signaling Yuan Zhen to stand up, and then his entire figure suddenly turned into illusion and disappeared in front of the tower.
When Yuan Zhen saw this scene, he vaguely guessed something and couldn't help but look shocked.
But she knew that with her status, the only thing she could do in the face of the situation in Dongzhou was to obey.
There are two ways to enter the Tongtian Liandao Tower.
One is the secret teaching of the Jiu Tian Dang Mo Sect, which allows one to directly enter the highest sixth level.
Another way is to start from the bottom of the tower and climb up level by level.
In the past, Yuan Qingque always went directly to the sixth floor, but today might be his last time to come to this tower, so he thought about taking a look around again.
Yuan Qingque raised his hand gently and the door at the bottom of the tower opened, revealing a passage.
And at this moment, roars were heard, and countless monsters with true spirit blood began to rush towards the open passage like crazy.
Yuan Qingque took a step forward and a vast invisible true energy burst out. All the monsters that rushed over flew back and crashed into the walls around the tower.
If these monsters were not still useful, they would all be turned into meat paste by this one blow.
Yuan Qingque flew into the first floor leisurely, and the passage behind him slowly closed, as if it had never been opened.
It was dark inside the tower, but there were rays of light coming in from outside, and one could vaguely see one strange-looking monster after another.
Yuan Qingque hasn't been to the level below the sixth floor for a long time, and these lower-level monsters have not been here for long either, so they basically don't recognize him.
But after that attack just now, all the monsters looked at him with fear.
Yuan Qingque strolled for a while, and suddenly felt it was boring, so he went straight to the top of the tower.
The fifth floor is the Demon Lord’s cage.
Compared to the four floors below, this place seems like a complete little world, with starlight shining from the top and a faint scent of grass between breaths.
In the very center was a ball of white mist, inside of which there was a sitting figure, who was none other than the Demon Lord.
The moment he saw Yuan Qingque coming up, a hint of surprise flashed in the Demon Lord's eyes.
Although this day had been anticipated when the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower was frequently activated, but when I actually saw this first god in Dongzhou, I still felt that the human race is truly blessed.
"You have actually taken that step."
The Demon Lord's voice echoed in the tower, deep and penetrating.
Yuan Qingque smiled indifferently. After he untied the ropes, he was no longer bound by any shackles and easily stepped into Lianxu.
However, if he wanted to completely cross the threshold and achieve the state of Lianxu, he would have to ascend to heaven and overcome the tribulation, so he now maintained one foot at the critical point of transforming the spirit and the other foot at the state of Lianxu.
The Demon Lord was also at the peak of the Divine Transformation realm. As soon as he saw Yuan Qingque now, he knew that he had made a breakthrough.
This is the realm it has always dreamed of, but unfortunately after thousands of years, it can't even see the threshold.
It is for this reason that it feels deeply for the unique advantages that the human race has.
Although their lifespans are far less than those of true spirits, there will always be people with extraordinary talents in spiritual practice who can surpass their thousands of years of efforts in a very short period of time.
"You are also a monster with good fortune. It is not easy to cultivate to such a level. It would be a pity to kill you. I will give you two choices today."
"One is to die in the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower and be refined into Dao Dan by me, which will be used as a resource for my disciple to become a god."
"Second, you can be like the Yellow Dragon and follow me through the ascension tribulation. If you can successfully reach the Lingkong Immortal Realm, I will definitely ask the ancestor to give you a position as a demon fairy."
After Yuan Qingque finished speaking, the white mist around the Demon Lord began to roll violently, as if some powerful force was brewing. The entire fifth floor even began to tremble slightly.
However, Yuan Qingque remained unmoved and just stood there with a calm expression.
Now he is invincible in the world.
"You want me to help you resist the nine-fold calamity."
The demon lord's tone was slightly cold.
Why did Yiyuan Zhenjun have to subdue the fifth-order yellow dragon in Yunmengze before he ascended to heaven? In addition to cause and effect, it was also because of the calamity of ascension. If he took the spirit beast with him, the rules of heaven and earth would regard him as one.
In this case, the power of the nine-fold heavenly tribulation will be triggered by the stronger one between the cultivator and the spirit beast.
But cultivators can work together with spirit beasts to overcome tribulations.
It is equivalent to distributing the original 100% of the ascension calamity equally to cultivators and spirit beasts.
However, among cultivators and spirit beasts, except for those who grew up together and shared life and death, there are bound to be levels among the rest.
After Yiyuan Zhenjun subdued Huanglong, they signed a contract, whereby the latter could only recognize him as his master and fight to the death when he encountered the heavenly tribulation.
The Demon Lord and Yuan Qingque also have no basis of trust. If they want to ascend and leave together, they must make a blood pact that cannot be resisted.
There is also one biggest problem.
That is the time of ascension. Yuan Qingque is in the Lianxu stage, but Yao Zun may not be.
Even at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, which is already the highest realm in the Tianhe Realm, it is still not enough compared to the Tribulation of Ascension.
Many of the cultivators who ascended to heaven in the Tianhe Realm throughout the ages brought with them contracted true spirits. Although no news has been received after their ascension, according to the Demon Lord's speculation, most of them died in the nine-fold heavenly calamity, saving the cultivators' energy to defend against disasters.
So it doesn't want to.
Yuan Qingque didn't say much, his eyes lit up with a bright light, and on the sixth floor of the Tongtian Liandao Tower, a terrifying fairy light suddenly emerged that made the void tremble and distort.
The fairy light fell into Yuan Qingque's body, and he easily crossed that threshold.
This was not Yuan Qingque's breakthrough, but he borrowed the power of Lianxu from the sixth floor of Tongtian Liandao Tower. This was also one of the foundations of Jiutian Dangmo Sect, but it could only be used in this tower.
Because of the sixth layer of cover, it will not be discovered.
But once you leave the Tongtian Refining Tower, the rules of heaven and earth will be triggered.
Lianxu's aura caused the entire fifth floor's space to begin to distort, and cracks appeared, spreading towards the Demon Lord.
Faced with such power, the Demon Lord knew that no matter which choice he made he would basically die, and he revealed his true strength.
The white mist suddenly dissipated, and a true spirit as white as jade, with a snake body and dragon horns emerged. Countless runes flashed on its scales, and each rune contained powerful changes in the celestial phenomena.
After a cup of tea.
Yuan Qingque reached out and took out a white inner elixir from the Demon Lord's body. As cold blood spilled, the Demon Lord struggled violently.
The gap of just one level of realm made it feel like it had returned to its childhood, with its tail crushed by a stone and no matter how it struggled, it could not shake off that feeling of powerlessness.
"I'll give you one last chance. Make a choice."
Yuan Qingque held the Demon Lord's inner elixir and asked the phantom inside that was almost transforming into a white dragon.
This is also the essence of the Demon Lord's thousands of years of hard work. Once it is lost, the path of demon cultivation will basically be cut off.
"Didn't you make the choice for me?"
The Demon Lord said these words while coughing.
Yuan Qingque nodded slightly, then spat out a drop of his own blood, which fell on the demon lord's inner elixir.
With the cooperation of the latter, this drop of essence and blood quickly merged into the core of the inner elixir and was imprinted on the center of the eyebrows of the white dragon's phantom.
Then the essence and blood turned into a dense blood-red rune, covering the entire body of the white dragon phantom and filling the inner elixir.
At this point, the contract was concluded.
Yuan Qingque nodded with satisfaction, cut open the body of the Demon Lord again, and put the inner elixir in his palm back.
"Don't waste your blood and energy..."
After making the contract with the Demon Lord, Yuan Qingque waved outside the tower, and the Green Mirage Bottle in Yuan Zhen’s storage bag immediately flew into his palm.
The mouth of the bottle was opened, and the blood of the demon lord that spilled all over the ground immediately turned into a stream of blood light and sank into the bottle, and was absorbed completely.
Seeing this scene, the Demon Lord remained silent.
It actually wanted to reabsorb the essence and blood back into its body, but it was obvious that Yuan Qingque wanted to leave something for the Jiutian Dangmo Sect before leaving.
If this amount of essence and blood were given to Daode Sect, it might be enough to refine a Tongsheng Zhenling Pill.
Moreover, the white dragon's blood essence is very compatible with the water-attributed skills of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect. It can be used to refine other elixirs and can also improve the cultivation of Nascent Soul cultivators.
"Would you be interested in going to the sixth floor with me?"
After throwing the Green Mirage Bottle out of the tower again and handing it to Yuan Zhen, Yuan Qingque turned around and asked the Demon Lord this question.
"it is good."
Now that the contract has been signed, the Demon Lord knows that he cannot resist Yuan Qingque and can only accept any orders from him.
Moreover, it was indeed very curious about the sixth floor of the Tongtian Liandao Tower!
Yuan Qingque waved his hand lightly, and a ladder leading upwards suddenly appeared in the starry sky at the top of the tower on the fifth floor. He walked up the ladder first.
The demon lord followed closely behind.
As soon as he entered the sixth floor of the Tongtian Refining Tower, the Demon Lord was shocked.
This turned out to be a vast universe and starry sky. He and Yuan Qingque stood in the void. In the distance, there were galaxies spinning, like the Milky Way cleansing the sky.
"Yuan Qingque, the 37th generation disciple of the Jiu Tian Dang Mo Sect, pays respect to the Grandmaster!"
Yuan Qingque saluted towards the Sky River which was composed of countless stars. Under the astonished gaze of the Demon Lord, the infinite starlight formed a Taoist with loose hair and bare feet, wearing a black robe.
Is this the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Patriarch?
The demon lord was shocked and found that the Taoist's eyes, which were composed of swirling stars, were looking at him, so he couldn't help but lower his head.
"What a pity. In a thousand years, the world in Tianhe Realm will undergo a great change. If you stay in the lower realm, my lineage will be more assured."
Before Yuan Qingque opened his mouth, Patriarch Jiutian Dangmo knew that he was going to ascend to heaven, and his face was filled with regret.
"My disciple Ye Qing is no less talented than me."
In response, Yuan Qingque simply said this.
"I hope so, but your life span is almost over, and it is indeed time for you to ascend."
As the Patriarch Jiu Tian Dang Mo spoke, he stretched out a finger, and suddenly a circle of light appeared out of thin air, landed on Yuan Qingque's head, and finally merged into his purple palace sea of consciousness.
"Before you ascend, if you still have time, help me find out something."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qingque nodded respectfully, "Master, please give your instructions."
"It is rumored that the True King Taixu, who has transcended, reappeared in the Lingkong Immortal Realm not long ago. He found a few of us and wanted to change the Tianhe Realm Avenue that was changed because of the True Demon back to normal."
"Given his realm, there must be something very important to him in the Tianhe Realm, so he wants to come here in person."
"You can take a look at the actions of the Taixu Piaomiao Palace. If you find anything unusual, tell me after you come to the Lingkong Immortal Realm."
"Also, have your disciples achieve Divine Transformation as soon as possible. Without Divine Transformation, they cannot enter the sixth floor of Tongtian Refining Dao Tower. If I have anything to say in the future, it will be difficult to convey it to them."
After Master Jiu Tian Dang Mo finished speaking, Yuan Qingque was also surprised.
The legend of True King Taixu is well-known in the Tianhe Realm.
He is one of the holy spirits of creation in the Tianhe Realm.
Such beings, long, long ago, had transcended the fairyland together with the jellyfish and reached the other shore.
Now it's back!
Could it be that something has changed on the other side?
After knowing this, Yuan Qingque also felt that his ascension seemed a little hasty.
But it's too late now.
He could only hope that his disciple Ye Qing would be able to protect the Nine Heavens Demon-Dangling Sect's orthodoxy when the great changes in heaven and earth were about to occur.
At this time, the Patriarch Jiu Tian Dang Mo had already turned into starlight and disappeared in front of Yuan Qingque and Yao Zun.
From beginning to end, he only glanced at the Demon Lord.
"Master, please sit down. There is a seventh-level Xuanwu True Spirit. If you can follow me to ascend to the Lingkong Immortal Realm, I will ask the Xuanwu Patriarch to give you a drop of blood."
Yuan Qingque turned around and spoke to the Demon Lord, handing it a storage bag.
When the Demon Lord opened it, he saw a bag full of Shuiyuan Xuanshi and some tonic pills.
It knew that this was Yuan Qingque's way of restoring its vitality and blood.
Facing the calamity of ascension, even Yuan Qingque was not completely sure.
If the Demon Lord could recover to his peak state, at least he could take action during the first two heavenly tribulations and save his own energy.
"Just rest here. I'll come and call you before you leave."
Yuan Qingque opened his mouth and said that the spiritual energy on the sixth floor of the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower was so abundant that it was not what was supposed to be found in the human world.
It is the seventh level of immortal spirit.
The Demon Lord is here, and with the help of top-grade spirit stones and elixirs, he will be able to recover to his prime soon.
"You were able to break through to the Lianxu stage. It seems that the Jiutian Dangmo Sect encountered a strong enemy outside. My cultivation level is also good. Now that we have signed the contract, you can rest assured that I will not cause trouble. Why not let me go out with you and help you solve the problem first."
The Demon Lord thought about it and then said these words.
Although Yuan Qingque had painted a very big pie for it, it guessed that after entering the Lingkong Fairyland, it would only be a little white dragon under the reins of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, and might even be used to pull a cart as a mount.
So it wanted to see if it could take advantage of the opportunity to go out and leave some backup plans for escape in the future.
"No need, I can solve all the troubles with just one sword."
But Yuan Qingque shook his head and directly rejected the Demon Lord's proposal.
He was also very clear that although he could now rely on the contract to make the Demon King submit to him, it was after all the pinnacle existence in this world. Even under his nose, it was possible for it to make some noise.
To be on the safe side, it is better not to let it leave the Tongtian Liandao Tower before it ascends.
When the Demon Lord heard this, he also looked regretful.
After Yuan Qingque left, it frowned.
At this time, it did not use any secret method to go to the third level to see the Holy Demon Fetus, so as to avoid being discovered.
However, even if the backup plan was left on the Holy Fetus of the Heavenly Demon, if the latter could not leave the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower, one day it would turn into the imprint of the Great Dao in the tower.
By that time, all its arrangements would be a joke.
But even a Demon Lord with such cultivation level could not break free from the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower, let alone it.
I just hope that one day in the future, the Jiu Tian Dang Mo Sect will fall because of the cause and effect of this tower, and it would be best if it doesn’t take too long...
The Demon Lord can only hope for this now.
When Yuan Qingque ascended and left, and Ye Qing had not yet achieved divine transformation, the Jiutian Dangmo Sect was at its weakest. It felt that if the true spirits of the demon royal court had brains, they would all try to overturn the Tongtian Refining Tower.
Because the cause and effect relationship between this tower and the demon clan's true spirit is so deep.
……
After Yuan Qingque dealt with the Demon Lord and came out of the Tongtian Refining Tower, in addition to Yuan Zhen, there was also a middle-aged man in a tall hat and wide belt on the Tongtian Peak.
"Meet the Master!"
The middle-aged man is Yuan Qingque’s eldest disciple and also the leader of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, Ni Yuanzhong.
The Jiu Tian Dang Mo Sect has a total of three Dao Fruits.
Taihe, Jiutian, destroy the devil!
Among them, the successor of the Demon-Subduing Dao Fruit is Ni Yuanzhong.
Before Ye Qing, he was highly expected by Yuan Qingque and was believed by countless people to be able to become the new God of Transformation of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect. Unfortunately, he failed in his attempt to reach the God of Transformation realm three hundred years ago.
But even so, Ni Yuanzhong is still the strongest person in the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, second only to Yuan Qingque.
"This Tongtian Peak is now handed over to you."
Yuan Qingque said to his eldest disciple Ni Yuanzhong, then waved his sleeves and disappeared on the spot with Yuan Zhen beside him.
"Disciple sends you respectful greetings to your master!"
Although Yuan Qingque was no longer there, Ni Yuanzhong was still very polite and bowed in the direction he disappeared.
……
On this day, Chen Mobai was arranging the retreat of Dongwu when he suddenly received a letter from the East.
This was sent by Ye Qing.
After Chen Mobai opened it and read it, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Ye Qing did not say anything important, only saying that the battle between good and evil in Dongtu and Dongli had reached the most critical life-and-death struggle.
He also said above that the Lord of the Northern Demon Sect, the current White Bone Dharma King, has crossed the sea and the situation has reached the most critical moment.
But Ye Qing also said that the Dongzhou Holy Land has a strong foundation, and even if the opponent has an additional White Bone Dharma King, it has enough strength to deal with it.
However, the Holy Land is now focusing on the path of magic, and is willing to give up on the three border regions and even the situation in Dongyue.
So Ye Qing wrote a letter asking Chen Mobai not to pay too much attention to the gains and losses of Dongwu’s territory.
In the upcoming most crucial battle between good and evil, I hope Chen Mobai can protect his own safety under the impact of the monsters in the desolate sea and ruins.
Ye Qing gave some advice at the end of the letter.
Even if the Five Elements Sect is destroyed, Chen Mobai must be able to protect himself.
Although the words were not made very clear, Chen Mobai already understood what Ye Qing meant.
The Five Elements Sect was destroyed, but there is still a Yiyuan Taoist Palace in the East waiting for Chen Mobai to inherit it. But if he dies, then the line between him and the Jiutian Dangmo Sect may become a dead line.
However, Chen Mobai felt that apart from these, Ye Qing had a deeper hidden meaning.
Combining the current intelligence with the fact that the Dongzhou Holy Land did not retreat and was defending the border despite the Northern Demon Lord coming across the sea, Chen Mobai vaguely thought of the truth.
Could it be that Yuan Qingque wants to practice emptiness and create a clear and bright world?
It is precisely for this reason that Ye Qing specifically mentioned the "connection" between Chen Mobai and the Jiutian Dangmo Sect.
But even if he guessed this, Chen Mobai didn't dare to verify it.
For him, the most important thing at the moment is to get rid of the wild sea monsters in front of him.
"Michiko, everything is ready."
At this time, Su Ziluo flew into the tent and told him something.
After she cultivated her Dharmakaya and Nascent Soul, she was immediately sent out by Chen Mobai to check the combination of the Hunyuan Five Elements Extinction Divine Thunder and the Dongwu Spiritual Vein.
Although in theory, this divine thunder can detonate spiritual veins and destroy the world.
In the past, Zhou Ye, who was at the Jindan level, was able to scare away the Baiwu Patriarch after the death of the Hunyuan Patriarch, thanks to this.
But Chen Mobai had never seen the actual effect with his own eyes.
Even in the Yiyuan Dao Palace, there are not many opportunities to use this method.
After all, the spiritual veins in the East all have owners.
In order to detonate the spiritual vein, the Hunyuan Five Elements Extinction Divine Thunder needs to be combined with a large formation so that it can spread to the entire spiritual vein.
And they certainly couldn't use their own Five Emperors Mountain for experiments.
As a result, Su Ziluo, the Saint, had no experience in using the Hunyuan Five Elements Extinction Thunder to detonate the spirit veins. However, in the history of Yiyuan Dao Palace, there were still a few such acts of destroying the heavens and the earth.
Su Ziluo heard these things from her master, the previous palace master, when she was still a saint.
So compared to Chen Mobai, she is actually more handy.
"How are the Desolate Sea Monsters doing?"
When Chen Mobai heard that the work of detonating the spiritual vein with the Hunyuan Five Elements Extinction Divine Thunder was ready, he immediately called Mo Douguang and others in and asked about the situation on the front battlefield.
"The migration of the human race in the twelve counties of Dongwu was not concealed from the demons. They should have known about it a long time ago. A few days ago, according to your suggestion, I deliberately gave up the area on the east side of the Wanchuan Guihai Formation to allow a large army of the Desolate Sea Demon Clan to occupy it."
"And now, the west and south sides are gradually being lost due to the insufficient number of our monks."
"Only on the front battlefield, because Jinfengpo is guarded by you and me, as well as the army of the Five Elements Sect, we are still resisting."
"If we retreat now, the Desolate Sea Monsters will definitely think that they relied on their great strength to repel us."
After Mo Douguan finished speaking, Chen Mobai nodded slightly, looked at the three-dimensional map in the tent, and marked the fallen areas within the Wanchuan Guihai Formation area in red.
In addition to the fall of the edges of the three-sided formation, there were also many red dots in various places of the formation, and the twelve counties of Dongwu lit up. This was the Desolate Sea Monster Clan that had invaded long ago, and there were also some traces of the Demonic Path.
Looking from top to bottom, nearly a quarter of the entire three-dimensional map of the Wanchuan Guihai Formation has been occupied by demons.
Seeing this, Chen Mobai reached out and overturned the sand table in front of him.
"It's time to inform Dongwu that the Wild Sea Monsters are too powerful. Prepare to retreat!"
Faced with the news conveyed by the Five Elements Sect, Sun Huanglong and others were worried, but they had no way to deal with it.
After all, the power of the Wild Sea Monster Clan is right before their eyes.
After so many years of consumption by thirteen fourth-level demon kings, there are still a steady stream of demon beasts coming ashore, maintaining a population of millions of low- and middle-level demon beasts.
If the Five Elements Sect had not intervened, the major families in Dongwu would have collapsed at the first blow and would have turned around and fled when faced with a monster of this size.
They also understood that the Five Elements Sect had done its best to be able to hold on until now.
"On behalf of the Dongwu Immortal Cultivation World, I would like to thank your clan for its protection over the past ten years. Your great kindness will never be forgotten by the people of Dongwu."
During the retreat, Sun Huanglong led representatives of several major families in Dongwu and came to Chen Mobai's tent, bowing deeply to him and expressing their gratitude.
"I hope that when this war is over, you won't blame me."
Chen Mobai felt unworthy and said this.
In response to this, Sun Huanglong and the others shook their heads, saying that they only had gratitude towards the Five Elements Sect in this life and did not have any resentment.
"Anyone in the Dongwu Immortal Cultivation World who dares to complain about the Five Elements Sect is truly worse than pigs and dogs."
The Jin family's Jindan ancestor said this directly, and the ancestors of other Dongwu families nearby all nodded in agreement.
The Five Elements Sect could completely rely on the formation and retreat to the Eastern Wilderness, but it still led the sect's elite, and even two Nascent Soul ancestors personally, to guard Dongwu.
And it lasted for ten years.
This kind of kindness is almost a rebirth.
In the eyes of the Dongwu immortal cultivation world, the Five Elements Sect is more like a holy place than those holy places in the East.
"Everyone, I have already arranged for disciples to receive you on your way to the Eastern Wasteland. Leave the matter of cutting off your retreat to me."
Feeling guilty, Chen Mobai personally left the tent and sent Sun Huanglong and the others onto the Five Elements Sect's flying boat.
Now, if people from outside the Eastern Wilderness want to enter, they can only use the flying boat of the Five Elements Sect. The treasure ship of the Eastern Wu that is transporting its own disciples can only stop at Yunmengze first.
However, Jindan cultivators like Sun Huanglong all have houses in the Eastern Wilderness, so Chen Mobai specially sent a flying boat to pick them up.
In mid-air, Sun Huanglong and the others saw Chen Mobai standing on the top of the mountain watching them leave, and they couldn't help but feel even more moved.
"Wait until they leave the territory of Dongwu and reach the surface of Yunmeng Lake, then start detonating them."
After the flying boat disappeared, Chen Mobai said to Su Ziluo beside him.
This was his last act of mercy.
