Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 224 Harvest by Any Means

"Humans, as the most intelligent creatures in the universe, are divided into immortals and mortals, as well as men and women. When one cultivates the Dao from the mortal to the heart, one realizes that male and female are superficial, while the inner self is yin and yang.

Do you know that the path you are cultivating has gone astray, and you may be in danger of eternal damnation..."

Dou Eqing spoke a series of threatening words.

"Please, Lord Mountain God, save me."

Yue Fen kowtowed and begged sincerely.

"Well! You and I have a predestined relationship, so it's not a bad idea to give you Pure Yang. However, this time, cause and effect cannot be concluded lightly, and must be determined by reason.

Although you believe in me, this is only because of my service as a mountain deity, and it does not guarantee our fate. I have a contract that can serve as proof, but it depends on whether you believe in me.

After Dou Eqing finished speaking, without waiting for Yue Fen's agreement, he began to perform the Demon Slave Seal.

Inspired by the Demon Slave Seal he planted on Zuo Kun last time, he also added a drop of Heavenly Source Liquid to the Demon Slave Seal this time.

But this time he was reluctant to use the fifth-level Tianyuan Liquid, so he replaced it with three drops of fourth-level Tianyuan Liquid.

Therefore, when the Demon Slave Seal fell on Yue Fen's brow, Yue Fen was unable to see through the effect of the Demon Slave Seal, but instead intuitively believed that he could benefit from it.

Dou Eqing did this just to be on the safe side and to take insurance against being exposed.

Although Yue Fen believed in her intuition and had enough trust in the mountain god, she was, after all, a strong person who was about to break through to the realm of refining emptiness. When it came to the contract, she still had to be at least a little cautious.

Therefore, she pondered Dou Eqing's words over and over again, trying to figure out whether there was any surprise in it.

While she was thinking, she secretly looked at the image of Dou Eqing, the mountain god.

Because the Kunwu Mountain God is based on female appearance, logically he should belong to the Kun Dao, so how could he be pure Yang?

But when she investigated, she found that although Dou Eqing had a female appearance, she actually had pure yang in her body.

"Yes, immortals attain the Tao and enjoy immortality, while gods and humans achieve harmony with the Tao and possess both yin and yang."

Yue Fen suddenly realized that he really regarded Dou Eqing, the mountain god, as a god.

Therefore, she was more likely to accept Dou Eqing's current status as the female prime minister. After thinking about it herself, she even agreed with Dou Eqing's previous statement that she had taken the wrong path and should find the Kunwu Mountain God to correct her foundation.

In her own imagination, she no longer had any psychological barriers to accepting Dou Eqing. Instead, she felt that her spring had arrived.

So she rushed over and hugged Dou Eqing's waist, expressing her acceptance with actions.

Moreover, she paid no attention to the Demon Slave Seal formed in her soul, and she only longed for the Mountain God to love her, grant her Pure Yang, and correct her path of cultivation.

"With me, Chunyang, I can break through the realm instantly."

Dou Eqing said this as if to declare, but he remained indifferent and let Yue Fen take the initiative to please the "divine body" of the Kunwu Mountain God.

Thus, a story that was not worthy of being told in a formal ceremony was staged in this solemn and dignified mountain temple.

Dou Eqing gradually fell in love with her, and finally opened up to her, starting a dual cultivation journey to correct Yue Fen's path.

……

Good times always pass quickly. After 49 days and nights, Dou Eqing, who had obtained Yue Fen's vital yin, broke through to the Spirit Transformation Realm first.

After all, she had stored a lot of Yuan Yin, not only her own, but also some obtained from absorbing and replenishing other pure Yin bodies.

It was naturally difficult to hide his breakthrough from Yue Fen, after all, she was about to break through to the Void Refining Realm.

"Breakthrough to the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation? Who on earth are you? How dare you impersonate the Mountain God!"

Yue Fen knocked Dou Eqing over and shouted.

Although Dou Eqing was deceived, she unknowingly developed certain feelings for him over the course of a month and a half.

However, this feeling seemed rather vague in her heart, especially the image of Dou Eqing was too vague in her mind, making her feel unreal and even less secure.

Yue Fen is worthy of being Qianjiao Huiyin. Dou Eqing has exerted all his dual cultivation combat power during this period.

But he failed to conquer her, let alone make her his slave.

The Demon Slave Seal has just been planted, and it cannot be fully activated through dual cultivation. It will have to take effect subtly over time.

Therefore, the current Demon Slave Seal does not have much binding force on Yue Fen.

Dou Eqing had always been worried about being exposed, but he didn't expect that a flaw would actually appear now.

He never expected that his breakthrough would be a flaw, so he failed to make a corresponding plan and didn't know how to respond to Yue Fen's words.

"I am your god. Didn't I help you complete your cultivation? You can break through anytime now without any problems. The true essence brought by the sixth-level spiritual vein nourishes your soul. Doesn't this prove the point?"

Dou Eqing thought for a while and asked Yue Fen slowly.

"You're talking wrong now. How could a mountain god act so like a normal person?"

Yue Fen felt that Dou Eqing's current image was no longer as high and mighty as a mountain god, so she asked this question.

"It's all because of you."

"What's wrong with me?"

"To be married to you, I have fallen from a god to a mortal. How dare I continue to pretend to be a true god? However, there is no other way. I am destined to face this calamity and need to rebuild my divine path."

Dou Eqing's words distracted Yue Fen, and she took the opportunity to take charge, regain the initiative in dual cultivation, and start a new round of main attack.

Another month passed. Although Yue Fen was still skeptical about him, the feeling brought by dual cultivation had finally given rise to emotions, and the Demon Slave Seal began to affect Yue Fen's impression of Dou Eqing.

Because Dou Eqing carried a sixth-level spiritual vein and practiced dual cultivation with Yue Fen, the two of them accelerated the speed of refining spiritual energy through dual cultivation.

And spiritual energy is so inexhaustible that you can have as much as you want.

This is also the reason why Dou Eqing broke through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation so quickly.

Although Yue Fen broke through to the Refining Void stage, she had already stepped half a foot into the Refining Void stage. With the help of this special dual cultivation, she successfully broke through in three months.

For this reason, Yue Fen was locked in a thunder tribulation and ended her dual cultivation with Dou Eqing.

"What a pity! My dual cultivation skills are still a little lacking. Although she can't do anything to me, if I want to command the Baishan Sect, I still need the help of Judy, the True Mountain God."

Dou Eqing sighed as he watched Yue Fen leave.

"It's just that fate hasn't arrived yet."

A voice sounded in Dou Eqing's ears, and the real mountain god appeared.

"maybe."

Dou Eqing responded subconsciously.

"Not long."

"Ok?"

Dou Eqing turned to look at Mu Shanlian in confusion.

"Deputy Sect Leader Yue's breakthrough was very smooth, but the tribulation of refining emptiness may not be the same. There will be a time when Dou Lang will be the hero who saves the damsel in distress."

Judy said mysteriously.

Just as Dou Eqing was puzzled, the leader of the Baishan Sect brought his men to the Mountain God Temple.

The leader of the Baishan Sect is named Hong Duxiu. Although he has broken through the Lianxu realm for more than 9,000 years, he is still in the early stage of Lianxu.

He strode into the Mountain God Temple, followed three steps behind by eight Divine Transformation cultivators.

At this moment, Dou Eqing, the fake mountain god, and the real mountain god were both inside the mountain god statue. Dou Eqing sensed the powerful aura of Hong Duxiu, a powerful cultivator, and feared he would discover his whereabouts, so he had to hold his breath. However, he was also curious about the kind of person the leader of the Baishan Sect would be, and he couldn't help but pay attention to Hong Duxiu.

Hong Duxiu had two sword-like eyebrows that slanted down to his temples, and below them were a pair of strange pupils with dark gold patterns. His left eye was as deep as a cold pool, and his right eye was flowing with a red-gold luster like lava.

Three silver curse lines stretched from the corners of his eyes to his frosty white temples, entangled with his long raven-blue hair that fell to his waist. The black iron beast head pendant tied to the end of his hair clanged with the strong wind.

A dark ice silk robe enveloped Hong Duxiu's slender figure. The front was embroidered with a pilgrimage map of the Seventy-Two Peaks using millennia-old fire spider silk. Its dark crimson lines shone like flowing magma in the twilight. A dark gray fox fur cape rustled beneath her, and nine silver fox tails cascaded from her shoulders, each tipped with a soul-sucking Night Stone.

Around his waist was a broad belt with a dragon pattern carved from a whole piece of blood jade, and the hanging lapis lazuli tassels swayed slightly as he stroked the jade ring.

This spiritual jade wrench is the identity token of the leader of the Baishan Sect. Although it has no other functions, it is a sixth-level top-grade treasure with a set of complicated array patterns on it.

This set of formation patterns is closely related to the Mountain Guarding Formation of the Baishan Sect. Through this spiritual jade wrench, one can fully control the Mountain Guarding Formation.

The Baishan Sect's mountain-guarding formation is equivalent to other forces' sect-protecting formations.

However, due to the uniqueness of Kunwu Mountain, the Mountain Guarding Battle of the Mountain Worshiping Sect is truly worthy of the name.

Because the mountain guarding formation uses the entire Kunwu Mountain as its formation tool, the formation can leverage the power of Kunwu Mountain to enhance its power.

Hong Duxiu and his group arrived in a hurry, bringing a strong wind into the mountain temple.

When a strong wind was about to blow out the red candle on the table, Hong Duxiu raised his bony hand, and the strong wind instantly froze.

The curse pattern at the corner of his eye glowed with a faint blue light. He lowered his eyes to glance at the eight people following behind him. A faint red lotus mark appeared on his forehead, and the others were stunned.

The most frightening thing was the half-smile at the corners of his lips, as if he was holding the weight of an entire mountain. He clearly didn't use any true energy, but he pressed the air around him to the point that it stopped flowing.

"Please forgive us, Lord Mountain God, we were so reckless!"

The eight incarnation monks knelt down and shouted towards the mountain god statue.

Upon seeing this, Hong Duxiu also bowed and paid homage to the mountain god statue.

"Thanks to the great blessing of Master Kunwu, our sect is growing stronger and stronger. Our Vice-Master, blessed by the grace of Master Mountain God, has now successfully broken through to the realm of Refining Void. However, the cultivation of the Great Dao is difficult, and every step forward is inevitably met with a calamity. Vice-Master Yue fears that he may face an unimaginable calamity that will hinder his path, and that this may bring disaster upon our sect. I beg Master Kunwu to lend us a helping hand..."

Hong Duxiu explained the reason for coming in a loud voice. He was worried that the calamity that Yue Fen would encounter after breaking through the void realm would bring disaster to the Baishan Sect. He hoped that the mountain guarding formation would be able to mobilize the spiritual energy of the sixth-level spiritual vein to fight the enemy.

Under normal circumstances, for a cultivator from a sect to break through the obstacles of the refining realm, unless they are traveling outside, it is generally not a big deal, after all, they have the support of the sect.

Now that Master Hong is making such a big fuss because of Yue Fen's calamity, there must be a force as powerful as the Baishan Sect intervening.

In this case, either Yue Fen provoked the enemy himself, or the enemy was a feuding force of the Baishan Sect.

Dou Eqing was confused by Hong Duxiu's vague words and almost frowned.

He is now the mountain god.

Because of the sixth-level spiritual vein in his body, the mountain god statue is connected to him.

If Dou Eqing frowned, he would definitely appear at the mountain god statue.

He wanted to wait for Mu Shanlian, the true mountain god, to respond to Hong Duxiu, but she pushed him, signaling him to react.

"What?"

He had no choice but to ask Mu Shanlian quietly through telepathy.

"idiot!"

The Kunwu Mountain God's consciousness subconsciously responded to Dou Eqing.

"Dou Lang, now you are the mountain god, I can't respond to Master Hong's petition."

Judy's consciousness responded to Dou Eqing through telepathy.

Dou Eqing realized what was going on belatedly and quickly adjusted his attitude.

He used the spiritual power of his spiritual vein to condense the word "准" with spiritual light, which suddenly appeared in front of the mountain god statue.

Upon seeing this, Master Hong quickly knelt on one knee to accept the gift from the Kunwu Mountain God.

"Boom!"

Yue Fen’s first Void Refining Thunder Tribulation came from afar.

Then, Master Hong and the other eight people bowed three more times to the mountain god statue and left the mountain god temple.

Yue Fen's Lianxu Thunder Tribulation did not take too long to brew, but judging from the range of the thunderclouds, it seemed very complicated.

This caught Dou Eqing's attention.

He had witnessed Feng Qinniang breaking through the sixth level of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation in Qianlin Swamp, and he had experienced it personally.

Comparing the two, it seemed that Yue Fen's Lianxu Thunder Tribulation was not even 70% of Feng Qinniang's Thunder Tribulation, but it still seemed to make him feel that the might of heaven was unpredictable.

When the sky cracked into purple-gold lines, the rubble of the entire Wangxian Cliff was shaking.

At this time, Yue Fen was in Yingjie Valley, which was specially used by Baishan Sect to overcome disasters.

As time went by, she dealt with each thunder tribulation with various means.

But when the 49th thunder tribulation came, the bronze array plate on which she was sitting made a sharp buzzing sound, and the ends of her hair were lifted by the strong wind, revealing a bloodstain between her eyebrows - that was the mark left by the 48th thunder tribulation.

There were gasps from the monks watching ten miles away. The compass in the hands of the third elder of the Baishan Sect cracked into two pieces, and the fragments of the hexagram were swept into the hurricane wrapped in thunder and fire.

The fiftieth thunderbolt wrapped in inky black fire struck down, and the thousand-year-old black ice on the mountaintop instantly vaporized into white mist.

Yue Fen's natal sword "Yu Yin" was hanging three inches above his head, and the blood beads oozing from the cracks in the blade were reflected as red gold by the lightning.

Ten miles away, the robbery platform collapsed, and the Jindan stage disciple was bleeding from his ears and nose. He was dragged away by his senior brother by the collar.

When someone shouted "fifty-four", the thunderclouds in the sky had condensed into a nine-headed monster. The plasma leaping in the monster's eyes illuminated the area within a hundred miles with a bluish-white light.

"The lightning tribulation of transformation into a god lasts only thirty-nine times." Before the elder deacon finished speaking, the first monster head spewed out a three-meter-thick lightning column.

Yue Fen's robes on both arms were torn to pieces, and runes carved to respond to thunder appeared on his exposed skin. Every time a golden pattern lit up, it cut off half of the lightning.

When the last ray of purple divine thunder penetrated her dantian, her three thousand black hairs turned snow-white, and the blood flowing from the corners of her lips was burned into red smoke by the thunder and fire before it even hit the ground.

When the calamity clouds dissipated, only half of Wangxian Cliff remained, a charred mass. The moment Yue Fen stumbled to his feet, all the sword-wielding monks within a hundred miles unsheathed their weapons, their weapons pierced three inches apart. The clanging sound startled crows all over the mountain.

The Baishan Sect Leader looked at his palm, which had been cracked by the thunder, and finally smiled bitterly at the followers who were kneeling on the ground: "How can the way of heaven be partial?"

This is the strongest lightning-blocking method of Yingjie Valley being broken, and it is also a manifestation of the power of Jibaishan Sect helping Yue Fen to overcome the disaster.

The setting sun shone through the clouds onto Yue Fen's blood-stained clothes, and the scarlet color was more blazing than all the fire.

Originally, he wanted to activate the mountain guarding formation to prevent those who blocked the way from interfering with Yue Fen's thunder tribulation.

However, the person who was expected to block Yue Fen's way did not attack at the critical moment when Yue Fen was overcoming the tribulation.

If someone had intervened at that time, Yue Fen's thunder tribulation would have definitely changed suddenly, and it might have become even more powerful.

This is because a cultivator's realm-breaking thunder tribulation cannot be interfered with by cultivators other than the cultivator undergoing the tribulation, otherwise they will all be targeted by the thunder tribulation, which is equivalent to multiple people undergoing the tribulation together.

The severity of the thunder tribulation is still double that of the thunder tribulation of the strongest cultivator.

Although the double thunder tribulation will end after the intervening monk dies, it is not so easy to deal with.

However, before Master Hong could breathe a sigh of relief, a beam of light appeared beside Yue Fen before anyone could react.

Obviously, the calamity that blocks the road has officially begun.
