Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 173: The Cross-Border Investigation Project Launched

After a fierce battle, even though the group of abyssal demons relied on the advantage of the Profound Yin Soul Refining Array and entangled with Jiang Wei and the others for a long time, they were still defeated by Jiang Wei and the others, who were stronger.

But then they discovered that the Abyss Demon had no soul.

Jiang Wei and the others immediately realized something was amiss.

However, the dragon and snake had already escaped, and the abyss demon must have gone to pursue them.

Therefore, they could only repair the teleportation array and return to Kunlun, preparing to immediately gather more people to search.

They also learned from the array spirit about the series of subsequent changes reported by Li Chunfeng.

The only way to get rid of those abyssal demons now is to find that dragon-serpent.

Fortunately, Li Chunfeng also has a natal demonic pet inside the dragon-snake body, which can serve as a beacon to guide them in the void.

Li Chunfeng was naturally more than willing.

However, he also had his own concerns. "Dean, those Abyss Demons are almost immortal. I once witnessed an Abyss Demon being blown to pieces, only to be completely restored within moments. Even if we could find such immortal beings, how could we truly kill them?"

Jiang Wei seemed somewhat hesitant to address this question, and after a long pause, he said, "Abyssal Demons are not truly immortal. In their previous lives, they were among the elite of the human race, some even reaching the True Monarch level. They only acquired this characteristic after being transformed into Abyssal Demons. Each resurrection comes at a price. The more Abyssal Demons you kill at the same time, the longer their resurrection time will be. Once all eight Abyssal Demons are killed, it means you have truly killed them."

"However, this method is difficult to implement. They are not weak. Once they are in a critical moment, they will not really stay and fight to the death. Moreover, their means of survival will be extremely rich. Another method is to find their life boxes and destroy them to truly eliminate them. But their life boxes will be even more difficult to find."

Li Chunfeng frowned.

That's incredible! It's practically unkillable.

Since they dared to pursue, they must have been confident.

He asked cautiously, "Dean, have you ever heard of the Snake Immortal?"

Upon hearing this, the other eight figures who had been meditating with their eyes closed all opened their eyes and looked at him.

Some people's gazes were even stern, making Li Chunfeng feel like he had thorns in his back.

Li Chunfeng knew that this question must have touched on some taboo, but he could only pretend not to know.

Jiang Wei looked at him seriously. "Where did you hear this name from?"

"They themselves said that Qianling, the leader of the Abyss Demons, is called the Evil God."

In fact, Qian Ling never said that it was the hidden information detected by his [Mind's Eye] skill.

Jiang Wei's expression was serious, and before he could speak, Cao Da, a short and stocky man, couldn't help but ask, "An evil god... Could it be that that guy really succeeded?"

These words were quickly refuted as soon as they were spoken.

"No! It's probably just a respectful title for the lackeys of the abyss demons. That's a forbidden path; how could anyone possibly traverse it?"

"That path to becoming an evil immortal is too far removed from both of us. How dare we presume to make such a statement?"

"If the path to becoming an evil immortal becomes viable, there will likely be significant changes. Even those old guys might be tempted."

"It is difficult to tell whether it is true or false."

The crowd began to discuss the matter animatedly.

This topic surprisingly sparked a considerable debate among the participants.

At this moment, a dignified and imposing elder carrying a sword suddenly spoke up, interrupting everyone, saying, "Please be careful what you say, everyone. The Serpent Immortal's methods are unpredictable and mysterious. Perhaps he has truly made a name for himself in that field. If he has indeed succeeded, even if it is only a small step, it will be an extremely profound leap for us. We juniors are discussing him here, and it is very likely that he will sense something about it."

Everyone immediately tensed up.

Some people opened their mouths as if they wanted to say something more, but in the end they all fell silent.

Jiang Wei warned Li Chunfeng, "This matter concerns a secret; you don't need to know. Just listen and forget it, understand?"

"Yes."

Li Chunfeng thought for a moment and added, "By the way, Dean, that giant serpent is currently still bound by an eighth-tier magic weapon called the Binding God Rope. Its primordial spirit cannot break free, and two Abyss Demons are watching it constantly. That Binding God Rope should also have a tracking effect; the Abyss Demons are able to pinpoint the serpent's location thanks to this Binding God Rope."

One of the eight, an unassuming instructor, suddenly said, "The Binding God Rope... how can you be sure it's an eighth-tier magic weapon?"

Li Chunfeng thought about it carefully and said, "I have a talent skill that allows me to detect some information. It should be an eighth-tier magic weapon without a doubt."

The man said, "If it is an eighth-order Binding God Rope, it should be the one lost from the Treasure Rock. When my ancestor was forging that Binding God Rope, he left a backdoor restriction that can be briefly controlled at critical moments. I don't know if this backdoor has been discovered."

Upon hearing this news, everyone immediately perked up.

They all began to communicate telepathically.

After a while, Jiang Wei introduced Li Chunfeng: "This is Instructor Ou Yanzi, the Vice Dean of the Weapon Forging Academy. The Binding God Rope was forged by Ou Yezi, the divine craftsman of the Xia Dynasty, who was Teacher Ou's ancestor. Now Teacher Ou will pass on to you a set of treasure forging techniques for the Binding God Rope. You can try it if you feel like it. I won't force you; safety comes first."

Li Chunfeng nodded.

Then a voice entered his ears, and he pondered it silently, finding it not difficult.

"...This treasure refining technique may not be useful. You should only try it at crucial moments. Otherwise, if it fails, it may expose your existence. You must not abuse it."

"Yes, students, please remember this."

After that, they remained silent as Li Chunfeng began to merge his soul with that of the Mosquito Taoist.

Based on some unseen intuition, the divine shuttle is guided in the right direction.

Several more days have passed since I first started flying.

Li Chunfeng then learned that the divine shuttle they were riding was actually the famous Star Treasure, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Slaying Divine Shuttle.

Yes.

Only magic weapons of this caliber can catch up with enemies in the void.

Meanwhile, Mosquito Taoist benefited greatly.

She desperately tried to suck blood, but couldn't reduce the blood pool even slightly.

After all, her current level is far too far from that of strange life forms like dragons and snakes.

This pool of blood was accumulated by the dragon and snake over countless years of cultivation.

What she devoured was only a drop in the ocean.

That's fine too.

While the dragon and snake spirits are trapped, we can sneak in some fleece and make the adventure worthwhile.

At this moment, Mosquito Taoist's blood essence had accumulated to 1000 strands, fulfilling the conditions for his seventh evolution.

However, the seventh evolution is a major realm evolution, which will inevitably take a long time and is not suitable to be carried out at this time.

The bloodline of the Black Mosquito in the Chaos Blood Pool has also been enhanced.

[Bloodline]: Chaotic Bloodwing Black Mosquito Bloodline, Profound Rank (83.8%→96.9%).

Unfortunately, 'refining techniques' was quite difficult for Mosquito Taoist at this time.

She tried briefly, but failed to refine any fragments of the laws.

After all, it was a life law that Longshe Guchen had spent countless years refining.

How long should mosquitoes be exposed to mosquitoes?

It's really wishful thinking for her to expect to achieve results in just a few days with only her second-tier strength.

This day.

Li Chunfeng suddenly had a thought and entered the perspective of Mosquito Taoist once again.

They discovered that Longshe Guchen had actually entered a strange world.

This world is so vast that it encountered suppression from the power of the world as soon as it entered.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and chains of divine laws appeared in the void, striking down hard on Longshe Guchen.

This made the already fragile dragon and snake even more vulnerable.

Even though the Mosquito Taoist was hiding inside the dragon and snake, he still felt a chill run down his spine.

Any one of these divine chains that falls upon her will result in her soul being annihilated.

This world is also a world of life, and Gu Chen couldn't wait to plunge into a winding river.

Beneath the surging river, countless aquatic creatures swam, only to be swallowed up like a black hole by the mouth of the dragon-snake Gu Chen.

In just a short while, the dragon and snake had torn the entire river apart, leaving it in a bloody mess.

Having devoured countless lives, it finally replenished its vital energy, and the dying light of its primordial soul shone brightly once more.

However, Longshe Guchen was a newcomer, and his arrogant and unrestrained feasting was bound to anger the local natives.

Two domineering, blood-red shadows, their shapes indistinct, charged towards them from afar.

A huge handprint was unleashed from a great distance, flying through the air.

This handprint grows longer as it is exposed to the wind.

When it landed, it was as terrifying as a palm that could cover the sky.

boom!
In an instant, the air exploded, and the violent force punched two bloody holes in the huge dragon-serpent.

Gu Chen let out a miserable howl and fled in a sorry state.

This is truly a case of "a dragon swimming in shallow water being teased by shrimp."

If it were still in its prime, it wouldn't have taken those two bloody figures seriously at all, but now it has to flee with its tail between its legs, which is truly extremely frustrating.

Li Chunfeng quickly reported the new information.

Jiang Wei and the others fell silent.

Cao Da said with a serious expression, "Could this direction lead to that new world?"

"Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible to arrive in that world so quickly?"

Zhongli Yuanxing, a man with a strong and unyielding spirit carrying a sword, said, "That dragon-serpent is a special life form. It moves extremely fast in the void and is very likely to have found a wormhole passage, allowing it to quickly traverse the void. Moreover, it possesses special life laws, so it is not impossible for it to have discovered that world."

"If that is the Thousand Worlds within that place, should we continue forward?"

Jiang Wei was also in a dilemma.

Li Chunfeng was completely confused, but based on the previous news of the discovery of a new world in the Earthly Realm, he could roughly guess that the world the dragon and snake had gone to was very likely that new Middle Thousand World.

"Should we send a junior to investigate?" someone suggested.

"No, his natal demonic pet is too weak. Once it shows itself, it is very likely to be discovered, and we will lose track of the dragon and snake at any time. It would be a loss."

“Demon Saints are not so easy to kill, let alone Demon Saints who have mastered the Law of Life.”

Jiang Wei said, "Li Chunfeng, describe your feelings carefully. Did you feel suppressed?"

Li Chunfeng shook his head, "No. But the dragon and snake may have been suppressed extremely severely."

He recounted the horrifying scene he had just witnessed to everyone in detail.

The group quickly communicated telepathically.

Finally, a mentor dressed as a woman in palace attire said, "I will send a clone of myself to investigate, at least to find out the truth."

Jiang Wei said seriously, "If there are any void wormholes nearby, we must find them. The cross-dimensional reconnaissance plan must be launched ahead of schedule."

She then turned to Li Chunfeng, "Your natal demon pet cannot be rescued for the time being, so seize the opportunity yourself. However, today's exploration is ending early. Teacher Qi's avatar will enter that world to contact you later. Just listen to her instructions."

The woman in palace attire then tossed out a beam of light, which Li Chunfeng instinctively caught, discovering it to be a jade token.

"My name is Qi Huaxuexia, the head of the Talisman Dao Academy. This is my communication magic item. It can keep me in touch even when I am in the void. You can report any news to me at any time."

Jiang Wei said, "You've made a significant contribution on this trip. As the dean, I'm awarding you 100 credits as a reward. Your mission is now temporarily complete, and I'll send you back now."

Li Chunfeng opened his mouth, realizing that he had only met a few big shots, and all his other efforts had been in vain.

But since the bigwigs have already made their decisions, they obviously won't change their minds based on his will.

There was a teleportation array inside the cave. After Li Chunfeng was given some instructions, Jiang Wei personally activated the teleportation array and teleported him away.

In the blink of an eye, they were back on the teleportation array of Kunlun Academy.

A person stood alone in the square, lost in thought for a long time.

It is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others.

He knew that he had to participate in the cross-border investigation project.
