Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 695 Even Prodigies Have Differences

"Stop looking! Do you really want to kill a demon?"

"Those old bastards from the Ten Thousand Demon Forest are coming after you to fight them to the death."

The voice of True Lord Fufeng rang in my ears once more.

This is practically common knowledge in the cultivation world.

Why do so many talented individuals want to join the Immortal Sect?

On one hand, it's for more cultivation resources, but on the other hand, and more importantly, it's for the protection of powerful individuals.

Even ordinary disciples of immortal sects are often viewed with suspicion when they travel the world.

Not to mention someone as monstrous as Xi Luo.

The True Lords of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, and even the Dao Lords, will protect him; killing him is no easy feat.

Li Rui was ridiculed in the same way.

Li Rui secretly sighed in regret.

Although he had anticipated that the True Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest would make a move, he still wanted to try and see if he could kill Xi Luo.

After all, ridicule won't kill you.

He was truly feeling uneasy and couldn't sleep.

of course.

Xi Luo's physical body has shattered. If he wants to return to his peak, he will need at least a hundred years of nurturing.

For a demon, the Great Dao is practically destroyed.

It's worse than killing him.

Li Rui bowed to the void before him, saying, "Thank you, True Lord Fufeng."

"No need to thank me. However, your innate Dao embryo has been discovered, and I can no longer keep it a secret for you. Be more careful in the future."

After Fufeng Zhenjun finished speaking, that mysterious power completely disappeared.

"Yes."

Li Rui bowed again.

Actually, he had roughly guessed the clue when he saw Xi Luo's acquired Dao embryo earlier.

Xi Luo was already cultivating the Great Dao to hunt Qilin, and then he discovered the mystery of his innate Dao embryo.

There's simply no reason not to take action.

Now that the True Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest has taken Xi Luo away, the fact that he possesses an innate Dao embryo can no longer be concealed.

But no problem.

If he were still the Marquis of Yu Kingdom who had just entered the world of cultivation, or an ordinary disciple of Bai Yujing, he would surely be coveted by countless old monsters.

But now that he is the Daoist disciple of Baiyujing, the situation is quite different.

Didn't you see that even True Monarch Fufeng has made a move?

This is the advantage of having a sect backing you.

"Brother Li, thank you very much."

Yuan Dingting walked over and looked at the Qi Prince's Mansion, which was almost reduced to ruins.

If Li Rui hadn't intervened today, probably no one in this mansion would have survived, and he too would have been ridiculed and killed.

Li Rui: "This matter arose because of me; Brother Yuan was implicated."

Yuan Dingting smiled and waved his hand:

"Why should we make such a clear distinction between you and me?"

Li Rui smiled.

Right.

The man in front of him was his apprentice's father.

"By the way, I heard that Brother Yuan is going to the Outer Heavens?"

Yuan Dingting nodded: "Yes, I hope Brother Li can help look after Tiger."

"Easy to say."

Li Rui agreed without hesitation.

He naturally understood Yuan Dingting's intentions.

At this time.

Yuan An and his mother Cui Chuxue also returned.

"Master."

Despite having survived a great calamity, Yuan An still calmly bowed to his master.

"Not bad, he's starting to look like a prince."

Li Rui chuckled and patted his apprentice on the shoulder.

That's when.

Lines of small text appeared on his panel.

[Immortal Ranking Improved!]

[Achievement +25!]

Name: Li Rui

[Achievement: 70/100]

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing at the void in the sky. 'Which Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord's will is this?'

He was shocked.

'This is the Dao Lord's method!'

Obviously.

Because he became Bai Yujing's disciple, he received special care from Tianji Daojun, who used profound Daoist techniques to constantly monitor his performance and updated the Tianji Record in real time.

It is truly mysterious.

"Hahaha, Changqing, you really gave the righteous path of Taihua Prefecture a good scolding."

On Changqing Peak.

You could hear Yan Kong's hearty laughter even from the foot of the mountain.

News of what happened in Yunzhou, Yu State, has already reached Baiyujing.

If it weren't for the intervention of the True Lord, the Daoist disciple of Baiyujing would have already killed the demon prince of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest.

This is definitely something worth bragging about.

"Changqing is truly skilled."

Liu Qing looked at Li Rui and couldn't help but admire him.

Only those who have truly fought against Xi Luo can truly appreciate the abilities of that demon prince of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest; his claim of slaying geniuses to prove the Great Dao is not an exaggeration.

It's just that Li Rui is too extraordinary.

In the Celestial Realm, perhaps only the most outstanding talents in the Central Continent who stand at the very top of the cultivation world can rival Li Rui.

And don't forget.

Li Rui committed murder across borders.

Although killing across borders is said to be the domain of geniuses, and Liu Qing himself once achieved the feat of killing a late-stage Celestial Realm cultivator while only at the mid-stage Celestial Realm, his opponent was just an ordinary late-stage Celestial Realm cultivator.

Li Rui actually challenged the Demon Child directly, which is of a different level than usual.

Liu Qing said with a smile, "Changqing, you kept it a secret for a long time. I only found out from the demon cultivators in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest that you actually possess a congenital Dao embryo."

Not bad.

Xi Luo indeed spread the news about Li Rui's innate Dao embryo.

Yan Kong was extremely happy when he found out.

After all, losing to a primordial Dao embryo, especially one that proved its Dao through force, is not something to be ashamed of.

Li Rui: "I did not intentionally conceal anything."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Liu Qing interrupted him, saying, "Changqing, there's no need to say more. We all understand."

Of the three people here, not to mention that he is the son of a True Lord, even Yan Kong is a core disciple of a major cultivation family, and his background is extremely noble.

He had heard that Li Rui started as an ordinary stable boy in Jinting Xiaodongtian and worked his way up to where he is today.

Helpless.

The hardships involved are unimaginable.

If the matter of the innate Dao embryo were known to others, it would probably have been devoured by some old monster as a great fortune long ago.

Such incidents are not uncommon.

Without a powerful background and possessing a valuable treasure, it's not an easy thing to survive in the world of cultivation.

Liu Qing: "Changqing, you can rest assured. You are now a Dao Child. If necessary, the Dao Lord can also protect you."

"Our two Dao Lord ancestors are actually very protective of their own."

Li Rui: "This is truly a blessing for Baiyujing."

of course.

If anyone were to ask why Lord Daojun showed no favoritism towards Pei Yao.

It's because of his status.

Although Daojun can see through countless causes and effects with a single thought, he cannot help everyone; only the most core members are qualified.

to be honest.

It's finally Li who's made it through!

"True Lord Xiu She".

Xi Luo, now only a nascent primordial spirit, stared at the middle-aged man in black robes before him with a complicated expression.

If it weren't for this person's intervention, he probably would have had to be physically destroyed and reincarnated.

"I will find you a suitable body. If you cannot recover to your peak condition within sixty years, I will take away your identity as a demon child. Do you understand?"

The words of the Serpent Master drifted over softly.

"Thank you, Zhenjun."

The mocking obedient bow.

"Okay, let's go."

Xiu She Zhenjun casually waved his hand and stopped looking at Xi Lu.

Instead, they continued to look in one direction.

A hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

"Tsk tsk, the Dao Lord level."
