Everyone's Immortal Cultivation: Starting from a Junior Talisman Maker

Chapter 234 A late-stage fourth-tier demon is born, shaking all nations (revised)
Shortly afterward, Gu Yingxue, who lived in the neighboring manor, also arrived.

As for the other cultivators who knew Yang Feng, they also knew that today was Yang Feng's 190th birthday.

Moreover, more than ten years ago, they learned that Yang Feng, at a young age, already possessed the strength of two thunderbolts and had a great chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future.

They all wanted to take this opportunity to come and wish Yang Feng a happy birthday.

However, since they had only a casual relationship with Yang Feng and did not interact with him much, and they knew that Yang Feng did not intend to hold a large banquet to celebrate his birthday, they did not rush to disturb him.

"Uncle-Master, I am deeply grateful for your care and guidance over the years. My cultivation is shallow, and I have no way to repay you..."

"Today is my uncle's birthday. I, your nephew, offer you a song to add to the festivities. I wish you a long and healthy life, and that your immortal path will be everlasting."

During the banquet, Gu Yingxue took the initiative to speak.

Over the years, Gu Yingxue has also learned to play the zither in her spare time, and she plans to take advantage of Yang Feng's birthday today to show off her skills in front of him.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Feng clapped and laughed.

Then Gu Yingxue took out a guqin from her storage ring and began to play it.

"Ding ding ding dong..."

As the melodious piano music began, everyone present lit up and remained silent, listening intently.

It was then observed that Gu Yingxue's zither music contained a peculiar power capable of cleansing the minds of cultivators.

Gu Yingxue had dressed up especially for today, wearing a purple dress that complemented her stunning beauty and captivating piano skills, making her a truly delightful and breathtaking sight.

It is also worth mentioning that Gu Yingxue is a cultivator who has achieved the Immortal Golden Core Realm.

Moreover, he is only 140 years old this year, and his cultivation has already reached the third level of the Golden Core Realm.

Although his cultivation speed is much slower than Yang Feng's back then, if he continues to work hard, he still has a good chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm in the future.

She has a much greater chance of achieving the Nascent Soul stage than Yang Feng's younger sister, Yang Ningning.

As for Yang Feng, although he knew that Gu Yingxue had a crush on him over the years through his talent for understanding people's hearts, she had not confessed to him, so Yang Feng did not take the initiative to break the ice.

As for Yang Feng's feelings for Gu Yingxue.

Although he wouldn't say he particularly liked her, after years of getting to know her, he didn't dislike Gu Yingxue.

In particular, the other party is not only beautiful, but also quite talented.

It can be said that if Yang Feng wants to find a Daoist partner in the future...

In the entire Xia Kingdom, apart from Gu Yingxue, he would find it difficult to find a partner who was better than Gu Yingxue in every aspect.

In particular, Yang Feng had lived two lives, and in his previous life he had several relationships.

Yang Feng knew that if he really wanted to find a Daoist partner, choosing someone who liked him would be much less troublesome than choosing someone he liked.

Therefore, if Gu Yingxue were to muster the courage to confess her feelings to him in the future, Yang Feng would not refuse.

However, at this stage, Yang Feng will not take the initiative to break the ice.

After all, his cultivation is currently at a rather crucial stage.

Yang Feng didn't want to create too many entanglements for himself because of romantic feelings, which would cause him to encounter inner demons and fall into depravity when he tried to break through to the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, Yang Feng felt that maintaining the current status quo was fine.

After the birthday banquet ended, Yang Feng instructed the steward to bestow upon Liao Xianwei and several outstanding juniors brought by Yang Zihang a third-tier treasure material to enhance their spiritual root aptitude, and then gave them some words of encouragement.

Afterwards, he kept Yang Ningning and Gu Yingxue behind and gave them some guidance on the true meaning of the Great Dao.

Among them, Yang Ningning, after many years of hard work, is now over 160 years old. She has been at the half-step Golden Core realm for over fifty years. A few years ago, she raised her cultivation in the three aspects of Dharma, body, and spirit to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm and the mid-stage of the third rank.

Afterwards, Yang Ningning received a jade slip containing the first layer of the true meaning of fire from the Xia Kingdom's treasury and began to study it.

Of course, Yang Feng could also create such a jade slip containing the true meaning of the Great Dao after he had thoroughly comprehended the first level of the true meaning of fire, if he was willing to spend a lot of energy to inscribe it.

However, since the Xia Kingdom's treasury already had ready-made inheritance jade slips, Yang Feng naturally didn't need to waste time making them for his sister.

However, after Yang Ningning received the inheritance jade slip for the first level of the True Meaning of Fire, Yang Feng...

In order to help his sister break through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future, he also gave her a fourth-grade low-quality treasure a few years ago to enhance her fire attribute spiritual root aptitude, hoping that his sister could fully comprehend the first level of the true meaning of fire as soon as possible.

Yang Feng also decided that once he breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm, if she is willing to become his Daoist partner, he would not mind giving her some of his extra fourth-tier resources to help her break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

After all, when he breaks through to the Nascent Soul Realm and becomes the leader of the Xia Kingdom, if the Xia Kingdom can produce more Nascent Soul cultivators, they can share some of the responsibilities and pressures with him and make his life easier.

This will also allow him to dedicate more time to cultivation in the future, thus enabling him to break through to a higher realm.

After taking a day to relax and rest on my birthday.

The next day, Yang Feng resumed his secluded cultivation as usual.

……

Five years later, deep in the Cloud and Mist Mountains, tens of thousands of miles away from the territory of the Xia Kingdom.

The mountain range stretches endlessly, crisscrossing the landscape.

In this rolling mountain range, there are countless ancient and enormous trees.

From a distance above the mountains, this place is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round.

The mountains are filled with poisonous gas, malevolent energy, and demonic energy, which intertwine to form a perpetual fog that never dissipates...

The harsh environment made this mountain range a forbidden zone for human cultivators.

Especially deep within the mountains, several fourth-tier great demons and countless other demon beast clans reside.

Even human cultivators who have reached the Nascent Soul stage dare not venture too deep into the area.

"Roar!"

On this day, deep in the mountains, on a snow-capped peak where a fourth-tier demon resided, a deafening roar suddenly resounded.

Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, countless demonic beasts, upon hearing that roar, instinctively felt fear, all trembling and prostrating themselves in worship towards the direction from which the earth-shattering roar came.

"Wow!"

At the summit of the snow-capped peak, a white ape sat cross-legged.

This ape is enormous, standing over twenty meters tall, like a skyscraper.

With each breath it takes, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of thousands of kilometers is drawn in from all directions, eventually forming several terrifying strands of Dao essence that linger around it.

As time passed, the aura emanating from the white ape grew increasingly terrifying.

At a certain moment, it was as if it had broken a shackle on its body, allowing its bloodline to be sublimated, and its aura to rise instantly.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your advancement to the late stage of the fourth rank." The descendants of the white ape who had been watching the white ape's breakthrough felt the suppression from its bloodline and the powerful aura that made them tremble. They all showed joy and bowed down to the white ape in worship.

"Whizzing……"

"Haha, congratulations to the White Ape King on advancing to the late stage of the fourth rank, which enhances the prestige of our demon race."

Further away, some fourth-tier demon beast leaders of other races sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the white ape.

Then they all broke through the air and knelt down to the white ape, offering a large amount of precious materials.

Among these fourth-tier demonic beasts are the Flying White Tiger, the Heavenly Demon Snow Wolf, the Ancient Brown Bear, the Crimson Blood Demon Python, and the Three-Colored Divine Ox, among others.

If any human cultivators were here, they would find that nearly ten fourth-order demonic beasts had gathered here.

As the Azure-Eyed White Ape's cultivation broke through to the late stage of the fourth rank, all the demon beasts now followed its lead.

"Ah."

"Thank you all for protecting me these past few days."

The blue-eyed white ape waved its hand to accept the precious materials offered by the demon beasts, and then stood up abruptly.

Then it looked towards the direction where the human cultivators of the Northern Origin Continent were located. Thinking of its experience of being chased by several human Nascent Soul Realm cultivators hundreds of years ago, a deep killing intent appeared in its eyes.

……

Shortly after.

The capital of Chu Yan Kingdom is Fairy City.

A secluded, late-stage fourth-order spiritual vein training ground.

In the center of the training ground, within a magnificent and ancient palace shrouded in an array, a middle-aged man with deep-set eyes, ruddy skin, and a robust physique was in seclusion, cultivating.

This person is none other than the current leader of the Chu Yan Kingdom—the True Lord Xuan Yang.

He is also the only cultivator in the entire Northern Origin Continent, among the dozen or so countries, whose cultivation has reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

At one point, Xuan Yang Zhenjun finished his cultivation and glanced at an important message that one of his disciples had sent him half a month ago. His expression changed.

"Unexpectedly, the blue-eyed white ape in the Cloud Mist Mountains has actually broken through to the late stage of the fourth rank."

"This is getting a bit tricky!"

Xuan Yang Zhenjun murmured to himself, and couldn't help but recall a long-forgotten matter.

Legend has it that the blue-eyed white ape possesses a low-grade true spirit bloodline and has a good chance of breaking through to the fifth rank in the future, becoming a being comparable to a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord.

Therefore, several hundred years ago, a group of Nascent Soul cultivators from the Northern Origin Continent, led by Mingwu Zhenjun of the Xia Kingdom, who had reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage, went to the Cloud Mist Mountains to try to kill the white ape and nip it in the bud.

Unfortunately, they failed to succeed at the time, and the blue-eyed white ape escaped.

Now, that blue-eyed white ape has broken through to the late stage of the fourth rank.

This gave Xuan Yang Zhenjun a real headache.

After all, a demon beast with a cultivation level of the late fourth stage is equivalent to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in humans.

Even though that blue-eyed white ape had just broken through to the next level, its strength was still much greater than that of a cultivator who was only at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

In particular, that blue-eyed white ape possessed a lower-grade true spirit bloodline, making it stronger than an average late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

In this situation, if that blue-eyed white ape were to retaliate against the cultivators of various human nations in the future...

That would bring a tremendous catastrophe to all the human cultivators in their entire Northern Origin Continent.

Fortunately, according to his understanding, although there are many demonic beasts in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, there are currently less than ten demonic beasts that have reached the fourth level.

As for the human cultivators, although they have become a scattered mess since the passing of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord who established the Great Yuan Immortal Dynasty thousands of years ago, they have split into more than a dozen countries.

However, there are currently more than twenty cultivators whose cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Overall, if the Nascent Soul cultivators from all the human nations could unite, they would still have some advantages.

Upon realizing this, True Lord Xuanyang quickly devised a solution.

He immediately sent a message to a disciple, instructing him to select a group of envoys to travel to various countries in the Northern Origin Continent. His plan was to unite all the Nascent Soul cultivators from these countries into an alliance to fight against the Azure-Eyed White Ape in the Cloud Mist Mountains.

After all, given the strength of that blue-eyed white ape, what if it led the demonic beasts of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range to take revenge on humans?

These countries in the Northern Origin Continent will likely not be able to escape this fate.

He believed that Nascent Soul cultivators in other countries must already know about the news that the Azure-Eyed White Ape had broken through to the late stage of the fourth rank.

After all, according to Xuan Yang Zhenjun's understanding, when the Azure-Eyed White Ape broke through its cultivation a few months ago, it was said that many human cultivators who went to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range for training witnessed it.

……

And just as Xuan Yang Zhenjun had predicted.

At this moment, Nascent Soul cultivators from other countries in the Northern Origin Continent had indeed learned of the news that the Azure-Eyed White Ape had broken through to the late stage of the fourth rank.

Several of these countries border the Cloud Mountain Range.

Upon learning this news, there was a great deal of panic among the people.

In particular, human cultivators in some immortal city territories bordering the Cloud Mist Mountains in those countries were deeply moved upon learning this news.

They were worried that the demonic beasts in the Cloud Mist Mountains would one day launch a large-scale invasion of their immortal city territory.

Many sold their properties and moved their entire families away.

Even the leaders of the countries bordering the Cloud and Mist Mountains were restless and anxious upon learning the news.

After all, the blue-eyed white ape had broken through to the late stage of the fourth rank, making it far stronger than them.

Especially that blue-eyed white ape, which has a blood feud with them humans.

Among them were even several Nascent Soul True Monarchs who had followed the Mingwu True Monarch of the Xia Kingdom to annihilate it.

In this situation, if that blue-eyed white ape were to lead a large army of demonic beasts to invade human territory in the future...

These countries bordering the Cloud and Mist Mountains will be the first to be impacted.

Therefore, before Chu Yan Kingdom could even send envoys to discuss matters with them, these countries bordering the Cloud Mist Mountain Range immediately sent people to Chu Yan Kingdom for help after learning that the Azure-Eyed White Ape had broken through to the late stage of the fourth rank.

After all, among the dozen or so countries in the entire Northern Origin Continent, the Xuan Yang True Monarch of the Chu Yan Kingdom currently possesses the strongest cultivation and strength.

These dozen or so countries all belonged to the same Celestial Dynasty thousands of years ago.

Faced with the current external crisis, the only solution that the Nascent Soul cultivators from these countries could think of was to send people to the Chu Yan Kingdom for help, hoping that the Xuan Yang True Monarch of the Chu Yan Kingdom could take the lead in uniting other countries to form an alliance to fight against the Azure-Eyed White Ape of the Cloud Mist Mountains in the future.
