Inquiry about immortality

Xunfeng Sea.

Amidst the raging Xun winds, a beam of lightning is breaking through the winds and heading north. The lightning is enveloping a lightning shuttle, which is jointly controlled by the three demons of the Qingluan Clan: Yao Pavilion Master, Qi Palace Master, and the Law Thunder Decree.

They were led into the eye of the storm by the Dragon and Phoenix clans, only to find a false immortal city and an empty Yongquan Mountain altar.

Forget about the Daoist treasury; even the seal of merit for governing Yongquan Mountain doesn't exist.

Only then did they realize they had been tricked. At the same time, new intelligence came from the Great Wind Plains, revealing that the Dragon and Phoenix clans' target had always been the Great Wind Plains, and this place was clearly a trap!
Upon learning the truth, the three of them were the first to break free from the entanglement of the Dragon and Phoenix clans and ride the lightning northward.

They thought they might not make it in time, but unexpected events unfolded one after another in Dafeng Plain. First, powerful figures from the Dragon and Phoenix clans gathered, and then the New Demon Court, the Dao Court, and Qianzhou joined the fray, and are now engaged in a great battle with the Dragon and Phoenix clans.

As new intelligence continued to arrive, the situation gradually became clearer. The fact that the Dragon and Phoenix clans were plotting so deeply and that various forces were so eager to fight could not possibly be the Dao Court's lost treasure as they thought.

At this moment, the Yao Pavilion Master received the news from the clan's territory and was taken aback. With a complicated expression, she said, "Miyo Cave Heaven has disappeared again."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Lei's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "If that's the case, then what about that Senior Junyang..."

“That person may never appear again,” said the Pavilion Master Yao. “My elder sister said that what is hidden in the Great Wind Plain should be an ancient Qilin’s dojo.”

An ancient Qilin Cave Heaven is certainly a great opportunity, but it may not be that valuable to these demon saints, but to the celestial demons.

However, these powerful forces, renowned throughout the spirit realm, fought each other over a Qilin Cave Heaven, even alarming the Heavenly Demons.

Could it be that……

"Could it be that they previously thought it was... the Ancient Demon Court!" Palace Master Qi exclaimed softly.

The Pavilion Master Yao and the Law Thunder Order exchanged a glance, both feeling it was very likely. In later generations, when people mentioned the Qilin, they would always think of the Qilin Imperial Clan and the Ancient Demon Court.

Legend has it that the ancient demon court was not completely destroyed, but rather trapped somewhere.

If it is the Ancient Demon Court, then everything makes sense. No wonder the Dragon and Phoenix clans have plotted so deeply, no wonder Junyang sent a message to the clan's territory, and why he has yet to appear.

Both Lu Leiling and Palace Master Qi looked at Pavilion Master Yao. In that case, should they go and interfere?
The closure of Yayoi Cave Heaven without any official decree indicates that the one in question will no longer interfere in the matter, leaving them to make their own decisions.

"Of course we'll go! There must be many treasures hidden inside the Qilin Cave Heaven, and everyone who sees them should have a share!" said Pavilion Master Yao fiercely.

Although many forces came to vie for the Qilin Cave Heaven, the Qingluan Clan had never been afraid of anyone.
They had just been tricked by the North Sea Dragon Palace and the Phoenix Clan, and even without the lure of treasure, they were determined to save face.

However, the situation in Dafeng Plain is extremely complicated right now, with various forces taking turns to appear, making it difficult to distinguish friend from foe. Once they get involved, it will inevitably cause a huge uproar. How to break the deadlock at that time needs to be carefully considered.

After a moment of contemplation, just as the Pavilion Master Yao was about to speak, her expression suddenly changed drastically.

Lu Leiling and Palace Master Qi sensed something and their expressions changed.

The three demons suddenly looked up and gazed at the Great Wind Plain. The Thunder Shuttle had not yet flown out of the Xun Wind Sea, and the Xun Wind blocked their way. The surrounding energy was chaotic and abnormal. At this moment, a powerful pressure came from the Great Wind Plain, penetrating the Xun Wind and reaching their senses.

Perhaps because of the great distance, the pressure was somewhat blurry and obscure, yet it still shook the minds of the three demons, causing them to show expressions of shock.

This is an aura comparable to that of a celestial demon!
Moreover, this aura contained a power they were familiar with—thunder!
Even more surprisingly, these three demon saints of the Azure Phoenix Clan felt their own Great Dao tremble, and they faintly developed an instinct to bow down to the other party, as if this aura was the supreme Thunder Dao who controlled all thunder in the world!

“It’s the Thunder Department of the Dao Court!” Pavilion Master Yao exclaimed softly.

Is the Celestial Master of the Daoist Court about to descend upon Dafeng Plain?

The three demons looked at each other in bewilderment. This was a situation they had not anticipated. They had thought that with the Misheng Cave Heaven closed, the Mahayana cultivators behind various forces would not intervene, and they would only need to deal with their fellow cultivators.

……

Dafeng Plain.

Suddenly, the battlefield fell silent.

All eyes turned to the Heavenly Azure Kingdom, and all the powerful figures were alarmed by the aura of the Thunder Ancestor.

The four half-demon True Lords were astonished by the construction and collapse of the Altar of Divine Will when they suddenly sensed this aura, and were both surprised and delighted.

"This oppressive aura... it must be the legendary Thunder Ancestor!"

The Taoist court has become a legend, but the reputation of the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation through Thunder of the Nine Heavens has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Xuanqiu Zhenjun had sensed the aura of Leizu on Qin Sang before, but he was not entirely sure at the time. Now, however, he was certain.

Previously, the Dao Court summoned Qianzhou to resist the Phoenix Clan, but remained inactive. It also searched for divine will but then gave up. These strange actions made the four half-demon True Lords uneasy. Now, all their doubts have vanished. It turns out that the Dao Court was summoning the Thunder Ancestor!

……

heaven.

The Azure Dragon is currently engaged in a fierce battle with the New Demon Court.

Countless star threads descended from the heavens, forming a vast net in the void.

The Wood God Envoy wandered among the starry sea, the stars within reach, like a shepherd of the stars. He also turned his gaze to the Heavenly Azure Kingdom, his face full of surprise.

He has received the decree from the Demon Emperor.

Since the Ancient Demon Court has not emerged, there will be no more major conflicts over the ownership of the Qilin Cave Heaven. The Heavenly Demons of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans will also no longer pay attention to the Great Wind Plain. This matter arose because of him, so he will be responsible for cleaning it up.

Just now, the Dao Court hesitated to act and ignored his questions, leading him to believe that the Dao Court had discovered the truth and was considering backing down. After all, the Dao Court's troubles were no less than those of the New Demon Court, and every move they made required careful consideration of the pros and cons.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly asked Lei Zu to surrender. What is the meaning of this?

Has the Dao Court made up its mind to descend upon the Great Wind Plains and reclaim the lost territory no matter what?
That's not bad news.

It's no longer possible to force the Dragon and Phoenix clans to retreat. The Wood God Envoy estimates that the best outcome would be for everyone to share the Qilin Cave Heaven.

Now that all the powerful figures are standing by and watching, only the Thunder Ancestor of the Dao Court can dominate the situation. Considering the alliance, he will surely benefit from it.

However, with Lei Zu's arrival, can the Heavenly Demons of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans still sit still?
The Wood God Envoy and the accompanying Demon Saint were both shaken by the sudden pressure of the Thunder Ancestor, and the Star Rope attacking the Azure Dragon suddenly lost some of its sharpness.

The azure dragon suddenly turned its head, its eyes shining like celestial lanterns, faintly outshining the starlight, as if the sun and moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the Azure Heaven Kingdom.

His eyes were also filled with surprise and doubt.

……

On the edge of the desert.

A fierce glint flashed in the Empress's beautiful eyes as she stared at the Heavenly Cang Kingdom.

Right now, the people most concerned about the Dao Court are none other than her and the Lord of Chi Island. They had just been discussing in telepathy how to deal with the Dao Court after it joined the war. With their current strength, it was already quite difficult for them to resist the new demon court and suppress Qianzhou.

Strangely, the Daoist court did not take the opportunity to act.

After confirming that the Ancient Demon Court did not exist, the Empress vaguely understood that perhaps the Dao Court had also discovered the truth and intended to back down.

Thousands of years ago, news spread that the Daoist Court had returned to the Great Thousand World. However, the Daoist Court has been silent ever since, remaining hidden from the world. The Daoist Court should have been widely recruiting disciples and establishing numerous Daoist temples.

This is no longer a simple matter of keeping a low profile!
It is not difficult to deduce that the Dao Court is still recovering its strength and does not yet have the power to contend for supremacy in the Great Thousand Worlds. It may even be weaker than imagined, which made many cultivators and forces who were concerned about the Dao Court breathe a sigh of relief.

Even with its profound foundation, the Daoist court may not be able to recover much of its vitality in just a few thousand years. If the Ancient Demon Court were to emerge, it would certainly be worth the risk to fight for it. However, since only the Qilin Cave Heaven has emerged now, we must weigh the pros and cons.

Once the Daoist court emerges, it can no longer hide as it did before.

Since the Dao Court had already shown signs of backing down, she didn't want to provoke them. She decided to drive Qianzhou away first, and subsequent developments confirmed her prediction.

Unexpectedly, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the Dao Court was about to summon the Thunder Ancestor.

What exactly does the Daoist court want to do?
The Empress was extremely surprised and suspicious. If she hadn't come for the Qilin Cave Heaven, then the Dao Court must really want to reclaim the lost territory.

It is true that Dafeng was the former site of the Daoting Gengchuzhi, but the Daoting lost much more than just this one place. Back then, the Daoting had twenty-four administrative centers, eight of which were of the highest rank. Gengchuzhi was just one of them, and its status was not even among the top three.

The Great Wind Plains is currently sandwiched between the North Sea, the Wilderness, the Sin River, and the Xun Wind Sea, making it almost a dead end. Even if the Dao Court has this idea, it is not a good choice.

Does the Dao Court intend to use this opportunity to establish its authority?
The Empress's expression shifted constantly. With the descent of the Thunder Ancestor, this chaotic battle had slipped out of their control, and their struggles had become meaningless. The final outcome would likely be decided by the ancestors behind each side.

……

Lei Zu's aura drew everyone's attention!

All the powerful beings focused their attention on the Heavenly Azure Kingdom, and time on the battlefield seemed to stand still for a moment.

In the southeast of the Wind Desert, between the half-demon kingdoms and the Wind Desert.

This place was originally a vast wasteland, but due to the divine power of the Phoenix Clan Demon Saint, it was turned into a scorched earth, with raging fires burning the land for a long time.

The Vermilion Bird transformed into a ball of flame and sped through the sea of ​​fire.

The world was ablaze with crimson light, but despite the fierce flames, the Vermilion Bird remained undaunted, instead using them as its best cover.

At this moment, the connection between Qin Sang's Dharma Image and Yang God grew stronger and stronger. He was extremely anxious, but he dared not urge Zhuque any further and could only feel anxious in his heart.

Fortunately, Zhuque's cultivation level was now far superior to what it used to be, and his escape techniques were also far beyond what they used to be. In the blink of an eye, he had crossed countless regions, and the power of the raging fire ahead finally weakened.

'Huff! Huff!'

The wind fanned the flames, and the fire fueled the wind's power.

Even though the Phoenix Clan Demon Saint directed most of the spiritual fire to the altar, in the eyes of the people of the half-demon kingdoms, these flames were still comparable to a world-destroying fire calamity.

Raging flames licked the sky, like countless fire demons, emitting terrifying roars. Just then, an inconspicuous flame drifted out of the sea of ​​fire, and the Vermilion Bird finally led them back to the territory of the half-demon kingdoms.

In that instant, Qin Sang of Tiancang Kingdom, as well as the Dharma Image and Yang God here, all had a sudden change in expression. Qin Sang opened his eyes abruptly and looked northwest. The Yang God and Dharma Image had already merged into one and were also looking at Tiancang Kingdom, as if they were gazing at each other from afar.

"Put me down!"

The Yang Shen and the Dharma Image let out soft exclamations.

The Vermilion Bird readily complied and suddenly extinguished its flames.

At the same time, the auras of the Dharma Image and the Yang God were revealed, but no one paid any attention to them on the battlefield full of demon saints.

But when they appeared, strange phenomena followed.

‘Boom! ’

The thunder that had scattered in all directions because of Qin Sang's enlightenment and the lack of a presiding officer now seemed to have received a divine summons, and thunder shook the heavens!
The lightning, like water, split into countless tiny bolts, spreading rapidly across the sky. The surging spiritual tide merged with the lightning, transforming into countless thunder dragons and electric pythons that danced with the spiritual tide.

The thunderous power manifested once more, with countless thunder dragons and electric pythons riding the spiritual tide, rushing towards the Sun God and the Dharma Image.

Qin Sang's spirit and Dharma form suddenly teleported to another place not far away. This was a small country among the half-demon kingdoms, called Jie Chen Kingdom, which had a capital altar.

Even as the fire calamity approached, the altar master and the cultivators remained focused on wielding thunder magic.

At this moment, they were suddenly awakened and looked up at the sky. They saw a person surrounded by lightning standing in the air above the temple!

This person seemed to be in the center of a thunderbolt, and in an instant, ten thousand thunderbolts struck, with a force no less than that of the thunder talisman he had just unleashed, yet no thunder talisman was produced at this moment.

High above, thunderbolts struck one after another, like a guiding thunderbolt that led the Dharma image and the Yang spirit back.

The cultivators in the altar were shocked to see that the divine being stepped on lightning and disappeared in an instant.

"That kid actually managed to do it!"

The Vermilion Bird grinned and snarled in the distance.

I thought I could treat this kid like a pet and have some fun with him, but I didn't expect him to catch up so quickly. Although the gap is still huge, with all the inheritance and treasures he has, he probably won't be someone you can easily manipulate after he breaks through to the next level.

It didn't accompany Qin Sang's Dharma form and Yang spirit, as that would have been too high-profile.

Now is not the time to retreat into the secluded paradise. Although it was drowsy and longed to go back to sleep, Qin Sang was breaking through in battle, surrounded by powerful enemies, and had no one to protect her.

Sighing at her misfortune, the Vermilion Bird burrowed underground and rushed back to the Heavenly Azure Kingdom alone.

'Shuh! '

A beam of lightning entered his body.

The Dharma body and the Yang spirit have returned, and the essence, energy, and spirit are all complete!
Despite the many twists and turns in the process, the gains were exceptionally remarkable.

Qin Sang's eyes shone like bright stars, revealing a smug smile. Then, his expression hardened, and he stepped through the barrier!
Instantly, Qin Sang felt the so-called erosion of the Great Dao, which was indescribable and beyond description.

Even in reality, Qin Sang remained calmly seated on the altar, showing no signs of change.

But the erosion of the Great Dao is a very real phenomenon, containing infinite terror!
His previous understandings were all correct. The moment he stepped out of the boundary, the scouring of the Great Dao followed, which was also the greatest obstacle to breaking through to the Integration Realm.

The so-called unity of essence, energy, and spirit is essentially the embracing of essence, energy, and spirit. Cultivators hold fast to their original essence and guard the oneness, believing only in themselves and the Dao. This is the best way to resist the erosion of the Great Dao.

Qin Sang's energy and spirit had reached their peak; she was confident and not flustered at all.

Unexpectedly, just as Qin Sang was about to unite her essence, energy, and spirit to concentrate on resisting the erosion of the Great Dao, she suddenly felt a jolt in her heart.

In a mysterious way, he actually saw a jade Buddha.

This is a jade Buddha with a broken arm, which is none other than the jade Buddha that has protected him to this day.

After arriving in this world, Qin Sang could no longer find the jade Buddha. Instead, he found a Buddha statue made of light that had merged with his soul.

At this moment, he saw it again.

The jade Buddha stood firm amidst the raging torrent of the Great Road, like a solid wall, unmoved! (End of Chapter)
