Chapter 849 True Phoenix Feathers, Three Demons Attack

On an unnamed island in the ancient demon realm.

Qin Ming was also somewhat speechless after hearing Gu Chang'an's words.
I never expected that Gu Chang'an had such a hidden trick up his sleeve.

As a Taoist practitioner, Qin Ming had never expected to achieve the state of oneness with the tortoise.

However, if Gu Chang'an can use this to save his life, it will be of great use.

Qin Ming immediately agreed: "Brother Gu, rest assured, if I find a way to leave the Ancient Demon Realm, I will naturally take you with me."

Hearing Qin Ming's reply, Gu Chang'an had no more worries. He sighed again and then formed a profound hand seal.

Numerous fine cracks appeared on his body, as if he were about to disintegrate at any moment.

Not long after.

From the numerous fine cracks, a bluish-gold radiance burst forth, crumbling inch by inch, turning into scattered bubbles that vanished without a trace.

A fragment of Gu Chang'an's primordial spirit emerged from it and entered the body of the gray Xuan Turtle before him, merging with it.

Finally, it swallowed a blue bead into the turtle's belly. This bead should be Gu Chang'an's storage space, containing all his belongings.

After a long time.

Then came Gu Chang'an's voice from inside the Xuan Turtle: "Brother Li, it's ready."

It's truly ironic that this man of the Way of the Dead has now become a tortoise.

Qin Ming stared at the millstone-sized tortoise before him, marveling, "The world is truly full of wonders. Brother Gu, you've actually managed to achieve oneness with the tortoise. I truly admire you."

"Hehe! Brother Li, please don't make fun of me. I never expected to fall to such a state." Gu Chang'an's bitter laugh came from inside the Xuan Turtle.

Qin Ming could clearly sense that there were two divine souls within his body, which could be described as two souls coexisting in one body.

In this way, Gu Xuhang'an also solved the problem of being corrupted by demonic energy.

Subsequently.

Since he was unfamiliar with the place and didn't know where in the demon realm it was located, Qin Ming decided to rest and recuperate there for a while before making any further plans.

With the blessing of a sixth-grade top-quality spiritual vein and the Minor Spirit Realm, his magical power cultivation will recover quickly.

While we're at it, we can catch a few passing monsters and ask them about the situation here.

The fact that Qin Ming and Gu Chang'an had been here for so long without any demonic beasts noticing them was enough to show that this nameless island was quite remote.

So he casually carved out a cave dwelling on the island and temporarily moved in.

After that, let the black tortoise guard the outside.

Qin Ming entered the Lesser Spirit Realm.

The Devouring Sky Rat and the other beasts also woke up. When they learned from Qin Ming that they had been brought to the Ancient Demon Realm by Xiao Qing, they were shocked.

As the ancestral home of the demon race, the Ancient Demon Realm is naturally a place that many demon cultivators dream of.

"It's actually the Ancient Demon Realm! I never thought I'd have the chance to personally visit the Holy Realm of the Demon Race."

However, just to be on the safe side and avoid attracting unnecessary attention, Qin Ming did not let the Devouring Rats run around outside.

I plan to wait until I have a clearer understanding of the situation before making any decisions.

After Qin Ming finished instructing the spirit pets, he was just about to return to his Green Mountain Cave to cultivate.

His gaze inadvertently fell on Xiao Qing, who was playing and frolicking in the Spirit Lake.

It opened its mouth and spat out three beams of red, yellow, and black light, then began to chase after it.

The Devouring Rat sniffed the air with its keen nose, then its eyes lit up in surprise. "Where did this guy find the aura of a treasure?" it exclaimed.

A flash of inspiration struck Qin Ming.

He recalled that before the destruction of the Linglong Immortal Palace's secret realm, three treasures appeared within the black lightning pillar of the ruined immortal palace, transforming into three-colored rays of light and escaping.
It is almost exactly the same as what is in front of you.

It must have been Xiaoqing who snatched it from those two combined old monsters before they fell into a coma.

Qin Ming immediately showed a happy expression, and after arriving at the lakeside, he called Xiao Qing over.

With three celestial treasures in her mouth, Xiaoqing quickly swam to Qin Ming and proudly began to boast of her achievement.

Qin Ming stroked its huge head, and when he looked at the three orbs of light, he found that they contained three different jade boxes.

The jade ornaments varied in size and exuded an astonishing Daoist aura.

The surface is engraved with a unique spiritual script, which must be some kind of script from the realm of true immortals.

He tried to break the seal, but was surprised to find that he didn't have enough magic power.

Qin Ming then tried using his divine sense to break the seal.

Although his cultivation level dropped to the Qi Refining stage due to the influence of spatial turbulence and the power of the interface, his divine sense power was cultivated from his divine soul.

next moment.

A divine sense comparable to that of a perfected Void Refinement cultivator descended upon the treasure and began to decipher it.

Just as Qin Ming's divine sense landed on the black jade box, it was repelled by an invisible force.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, a surge of emotion even resonated.

hum~~
It was clearly some kind of extremely special restriction, which even Qin Ming's powerful divine sense could not break.

After trying to open two orbs of light in succession.

When Qin Ming opened the third red jade box, he suddenly clicked and easily removed the restriction on it.

Then, an astonishing aura of celestial demons surged forth from it, and bursts of colorful light burst forth from the jade box.

"This is this"

The Devouring Rat smelled the treasure and quickly came up to take a look, its head almost sticking into the jade box.

Qin Ming grabbed it and threw it aside.

Inside the jade box lay a single, entirely crimson phoenix feather.

An aura originating from the bloodline of ancient true spirits emanated from this natal feather of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

This time, it wasn't just Qin Ming; the other spirit pets all stared at the treasure in utter shock.

The Blue Ice Fairy's gaze was fixed on it.

The Ice Phoenix bloodline within her stirred with desire upon seeing this feather.
"As expected of young friend Li, he can even get his hands on such a rare treasure," Old Demon Qingyang sighed with admiration.

"The Heavenly Phoenix is ​​an ancient spirit race that is on par with the True Dragon. Obtaining their natal feather is as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

"Even in the Spirit Realm, your human powerhouses might not be able to obtain it."

"The inside of this feather even preserves the complete essence of the Heavenly Phoenix, which will be of great benefit to the Ice Phoenix you command. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a heaven-defying opportunity."

Qin Ming was also slightly surprised.

This Heavenly Phoenix Feather, along with the other three feathers of true spirit obtained earlier.

He is not far from unlocking the spatial divine power within the third layer of the Immortal-Slaying Gourd.

Five-colored peacock, golden-winged roc, ancient golden crow, true spirit phoenix.
These feathered spirits are all renowned beings in the spirit world.

Any treasure crafted from any kind possesses power surpassing that of ordinary spiritual treasures.

And now, it's merely a spiritual material to unlock the great divine power of the Immortal-Slaying Gourd. This is enough to demonstrate the absolutely terrifying power of this third great divine power.

Qin Ming was also starting to look forward to it more and more.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he collected all the treasures.

Qin Ming was in a really good mood, and he gave Xiao Qing some more spiritual food.

Under the expectant gaze of the Devouring Sky Rat, he returned to his cave to cultivate.

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

Ten years have passed quietly.

Qin Ming sat cross-legged beneath his natal spiritual plant, the Yanfu Immortal Vine, emanating an evergreen aura of magical power.

He was like an ancient tree, weathered by time, standing tall between heaven and earth.

The phantom of the immortal plant behind him, representing an indestructible celestial body, continued to grow larger.

He slowly opened his pitch-black eyes, and a wisp of vibrant green light flashed deep within his pupils.

After ten years of cultivation, Qin Ming's cultivation level gradually recovered from the Qi Refining stage to the Nascent Soul stage.

And during this time, he hasn't been burying himself in his cultivation on the island the whole time.

Instead, he used the aura of a celestial demon to disguise himself as a white ape cultivating on the island.

He learned the approximate location of his current location from some passing low-level demons.

The Ancient Demon Realm is one of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, just like the Spirit Realm. Therefore, in terms of its territory, although it is not as vast and boundless as the Spirit Realm, even a cultivator could not reach its end in a lifetime.

But it is also incredibly vast and expansive.

The sea area where Qin Ming is currently located is under the control of a sixth-order 'Golden Scale Clan' demon cultivator.

It is also adjacent to land and not particularly far from the coastline.

However, Qin Ming was extremely cautious and rarely went out in order to fabricate the identity of the white ape cultivating on the island.

The tortoise, meanwhile, stood guard outside the island for him, working tirelessly without complaint.
For a tortoise's long lifespan, ten years is just a blink of an eye. The only person who seems bored is Gu Chang'an.

Having ended up in this desolate place, he began to miss the carefree life he had in the Spirit Realm's Breeze Valley.
……

After Qin Ming finished his cultivation, he immediately resumed his farming life. After all, although the spiritual plants in his spiritual field were being looked after by the little silver fox and Tian Ling'er.

But he also needs to take care of it personally from time to time.

Over the years, Qin Ming has amassed another batch of entries.

They gradually figured out the Qingyang Old Demon and taught him how to exchange the power of the candlelight and incense offerings for the sacrifice of living souls.

After he hunted down some sea monsters and offered them as sacrifices, it actually had some effect.

However, because these demonic beasts were too weak in cultivation, the incense offerings and prayers they received were insufficient to allow the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Tree to continue growing.

The Xuanhuang Myriad Qi Blood Mother Vine, nourished by the fertilizer from the numerous demon corpses, has grown considerably taller once again.

Qin Ming used the Xuanhuang Myriad Qi Blood Marrow he had harvested to further enhance the physical cultivation of the Demon Infant's primordial spirit.

He is not far from reaching the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, where his physical body is at a profound level.

This day.

Qin Ming is currently in the Lesser Spirit Realm, using the Five Elements Spirit Rain Technique to fatten up the Taiyi Void Yuan Rice.

Boom Kaka!
Not far from the Immortal's Lost Fields, a sudden explosion occurred, followed by a violent tremor.

Qin Ming looked up and saw the Xuan Shui Crocodile in the Thunder Pool, about to break through to the sixth level.

After decades, it finally managed to suppress the essence of the Golden-Winged Roc and the True Dragon within its body using the special place of the Ancient Thunder Pool.

He benefited from it, refining a trace of its bloodline and integrating it into himself, breaking through his cultivation level and successfully entering the sixth tier.

Amidst flashes of silver-blue lightning, the Xuan Shui Crocodile's original form underwent a dramatic transformation.

As the lightning flashed, a colossal beast, half crocodile and half dragon, emerged from the thunder pool. Two curved dragon horns grew from its head, and its body was covered with dark dragon scales, exuding the terrifying aura of the king of beasts.

Even the Sky-Eating Rats were dumbfounded.

"The change in the second child is really too great, isn't it?"

To everyone's surprise, the Xuan Shui Crocodile transformed into a young man with two horns on his head, a face covered in black whiskers, and a cold expression, carrying a large black wolf-tooth club on his shoulder.

A powerful aura of a sixth-order great demon suddenly descended upon the Lesser Spirit Realm.

Although it has only just broken through to the sixth level, it possesses two extremely domineering ancient true spirit bloodlines, making its strength far surpass that of others of the same level, and it cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

"Master, I succeeded."

Xuan Shui Crocodile successfully broke through and suppressed the two True Spirit Bloodlines within his body, and his heart was filled with excitement.

It immediately withdrew its aura and walked towards the group.

The Xuan Shui Crocodile's successful breakthrough to the sixth rank brought a pleasant surprise to everyone.

Qin Ming also held a grand banquet in the Lesser Spirit Realm to celebrate.

Although Xuan Shui Crocodile is a taciturn person, he has a very deep bond with his spirit pets.

Especially considering that it was originally a beast egg that Qin Ming retrieved from a cave and has nurtured all the way to the present day, it has been quite an achievement.

……

A few days later.

On the nameless island, a group of uninvited guests finally arrived.

Several streaks of light, radiating a fierce aura, flew towards the island from afar.

The three demons at the head were all in a semi-transformed state, retaining some characteristics of demons and beasts.

They are a pig demon, a snake demon, and a tiger demon.

These three demons were all at the early stage of the fifth rank, which would be considered above average among the many demons in the vicinity.

The fat, big-eared pig demon, while speeding away, said to the two demons beside him:
"Are we really going to recruit that white ape from that nameless island?"

"What if they don't agree? I heard that this demon has been cultivating in seclusion in this sea area, keeping a very low profile and never causing trouble. This island isn't some high-level spiritual vein, so why should we go and provoke them?"

“Wrong! Brother Pig, don’t you think about it? There must be a reason why an unknown white ape cultivator could cultivate all the way to the fifth level.” The snake demon analyzed with a sharp glint in his vertical pupils. “Perhaps this nameless island holds some kind of opportunity that the white ape obtained.”

"Hmph! Enough talk. We'll find out the details once the three of us have that white ape under our control. If there are any special opportunities on that island, they'll all be ours."

"All our spoils have been handed over to Lord Jinlin. If we didn't constantly beg for his help, we would probably be starving to death."

The other, a burly tiger demon, spoke in an extremely domineering manner.

In his view, a mere fifth-tier white ape demon who had just advanced to the fifth tier, and not even having a high-level bloodline, couldn't be that strong, no matter how powerful he was.

Seeing the two of them so insistent, the pig demon's expression changed several times before he finally sighed and had no choice but to follow.

And the other side.

On the nameless island, a black tortoise lurking in the nearby sea suddenly opened its narrowed eyes.

Gu Chang'an's calm voice emanated from within him: "We've been here for so long, and finally someone has come knocking on our door."
