Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and then said, "You are Jin Ping'er!"

As he spoke, he walked over and reached out to lift her delicate chin.

Jin Ping'er nodded and replied, "Reporting to the Demon Ancestor, it is I."

A hint of anger flashed across her face, yet her captivating charm seemed to transform that slight anger into a breathtaking beauty, subtly etched on her cheeks, enchanting the soul.

Jin Ping'er was treated like an object and handed over directly, so she was naturally resentful. However, neither Li Xiuyuan nor her master were people she could resist, so she could only obey.

Li Xiuyuan's behavior was frivolous, and he started touching her inappropriately as soon as they met. How could Jin Ping'er possibly have a good impression of him?

Seeing Jin Ping'er's slightly angry expression, Li Xiuyuan was even more tempted and chuckled, "Do you know that you were given to me by your master?"

As he spoke, he looked over smugly.

Jin Ping'er nodded and replied, "I understand. I will definitely make the Demon Ancestor happy."

As she spoke, she felt a growing resentment towards Fairy Sanmiao. She secretly vowed that one day she would take revenge.

Upon seeing Jin Ping'er, Li Xiuyuan concealed the cold glint in his eyes and smiled, saying, "Hehe, I know what you're thinking. If you want to take revenge on your master, as long as you cultivate diligently, you might have a chance."

As he spoke, he transmitted the Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture into Jin Ping'er's mind.

what?

Upon seeing the incantation in the true scripture, Jin Ping'er was truly astonished. If she were to actually cultivate this technique, she might be able to surpass her master and avenge today's humiliation.

Although Hehuan Valley has practices of cultivation between men and women, Jin Ping'er has never experienced it and often has many fantasies about her first time.

However, she never expected that her master would send her away, which is why Jin Ping'er harbors resentment towards her master.

Seeing Jin Ping'er engrossed in a vast array of cultivation techniques, Li Xiuyuan chuckled and said, "Alright, you don't need to think about it anymore. Now prepare to serve me!"

As he spoke, he took matters into his own hands and began to undress.

Jin Ping'er blushed, but ultimately did not resist. Moreover, she knew in her heart that no matter what she did, it would be difficult to change her fate at this moment.

Most importantly, at this moment, Jin Ping'er still didn't want to die.

Chapter 237 Death Swamp

A sound that made one blush rang out, and Li Xiuyuan successfully took Jin Ping'er's first drop of blood.

Li Xiuyuan resided at the Qingyun Gate, where he established the headquarters of the Demonic Sect. All the other members of the sect would reside there in the future, while the original Qingyun disciples were all imprisoned by him. Although they would not die, they had lost their freedom.

After seeing the women diligently serving him, Li Xiuyuan naturally kept a hand on the people from the Qingyun Sect, at least ensuring their safety.

Furthermore, it's worth mentioning that while Li Xiuyuan has completely taken over the four major sects of the Demonic Cult, Tianyin Temple and Fenxiang Valley still pose a slight threat. After the Six-Eared Macaque arrived at Tianyin Temple, the magical power of those old bald monks, though not weak, still increased.

But they were no match for the Six-Eared Macaque! So they were quickly defeated, some captured alive, some killed. Of course, Li Xiuyuan still had those stubborn disciples killed to put everyone at ease.

Finally, there is the Incense Valley. Among all the righteous sects, its origins are the most mysterious and elusive. As early as 1,500 years ago, disciples of this lineage traveled the world. If we only consider its origins...

In the novel *Zhu Xian*, only the Qingyun Sect and the Demonic Sect have a longer history than the Fenxiang Valley, even surpassing the Tianyin Temple.

Incense Valley is far from the Central Plains and has long guarded the dark path known as the Black Hole to prevent barbarian monsters from harassing the people, so it has little contact with the people of the Central Plains.

However, in the hearts of the local people, Fenxiang Valley has an extremely high reputation and is revered as a place of immortals.

In fact, Fenxiang Valley also had connections with the barbarians. When they learned of the misfortune that Qingyun Sect had suffered, they had already retreated. When Li Xiuyuan's people arrived, they found only a dilapidated sect, deserted and empty.

Although Li Xiuyuan felt some regret, he was not too disappointed. In his opinion, Fenxiang Valley was not worth mentioning, and Li Xiuyuan also knew what these people relied on.

Li Xiuyuan had no intention of leaving immediately. He needed to solidify his position as the Demon Ancestor. The area occupied by the Immortal Execution Sect was much larger than that of the Tang Dynasty and the Wind and Cloud Sect combined. As long as Li Xiuyuan could consolidate this position, the sin points would continue to accumulate.

It was much more than he had gained in the past. Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, and then stayed in the Qingyun Sect for the time being. In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

In the past three years, Li Xiuyuan has collected all four volumes of the Heavenly Book. Although this cultivation method was created by Daoist Duobao, who wanted to combine the three cultivation methods of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism, it is only incomplete and has great hidden dangers.

However, it was sufficient for ordinary disciples of the Demonic Cult. The techniques that Li Xiuyuan passed down were invaluable to ordinary disciples of the Demonic Cult, but not everyone had them.

Li Xiuyuan established a system of contribution points, and only those who reached a certain level could obtain the Heavenly Book. Now, quite a few people have already started studying it.

In just three years, many experts at the Human Immortal level have emerged in the Demonic Sect. Although they lost Yu Yangzi, the power of the Demonic Sect has more than doubled in recent years!

...............................

On this day, Li Xiuyuan received news that something unusual had happened in the Death Swamp. He secretly thought that the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault was located in the Death Swamp, and now, because of his arrival and the changes in this world, it was probably born ahead of schedule.

Moreover, the last volume of the Heavenly Book that Li Xiuyuan wanted was also in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury. As for the Heavenly Book of the Illusion Moon Cave, the Heavenly Book of the Demonic Sect, and the Heavenly Book of the Jade Wall of Tianyin Temple, he had collected them all.

In addition, Li Xiuyuan was very curious about what the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault was. In his opinion, the Immortal Execution Sword was the Immortal Execution Sword Soul of the Tongtian Sect Master, so the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault must also be extraordinary!

After thinking about this, Li Xiuyuan sent someone over, though he also went in person. The Heavenly Emperor's Treasury was worth Li Xiuyuan's visit.

In the Death Swamp, Li Xiuyuan led a large group of people. After traveling for a long time, they finally arrived at the center of the Death Swamp. Along the way, they encountered many ignorant people, but all of them were eliminated by his men, as well as other strange beasts and so on.

The forest was completely silent, but about ten feet ahead, in the direction of the golden pillar of light from the previous night, the fog suddenly thickened, becoming hazy and indistinct, making it difficult to see clearly.

However, this mist was different from the miasma on the edge of the inner swamp; its color was not gray, but pure white. From afar, the mist could be seen drifting gently through the forest, wisps and layers upon layers.

At this point, anyone with discerning eyes would realize that the extraordinary treasure was right ahead. Because of Li Xiuyuan, the Demonic Sect was unified, and the people of Tianyin Temple and Qingyun Sect were all wiped out.

As for the people of Burning Incense Valley, they were too busy retreating to the wilderness to take care of themselves, so how could they dare to come here and compete with Li Xiuyuan!

Suddenly, as if struck by lightning in the silence, a deafening roar shook the entire forest, and what appeared before them was a gigantic tree that far exceeded their imagination.

The tree trunk was so thick in the mist that its edges could not be seen. The trunk, covered with rough bark, stood tall like a giant mountain, reaching straight into the sky and disappearing into the mist, as if it had entered the clouds!

After the giant tree appeared, Li Xiuyuan stared intently at it, thinking to himself, "It's finally here. I'll have to see what's so special about it."

The fog in this area grew thicker, and Li Xiuyuan flew swiftly towards the top of the giant tree.

This giant tree seems to be like the ladder to heaven in ancient legends, reaching straight to the sky! More than ten people can stand on any branch without any crowding.

Because the branches and leaves above were too dense, it was even more difficult to fly on a sword. Everyone jumped around in the trees, rushing upwards.

Chapter 238 Chaos Elixir

The leader of them was Li Xiuyuan, and the group he brought was just there to handle some minor matters and watch the show. As for the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, they naturally had no share in it.

If Li Xiuyuan is here, then he is destined to be the only one who can obtain the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault.

The two branches that forked at the top were about the same size, each several tens of feet thick, and stretched horizontally across the sky, like two giant dragons leaping in mid-air.

The top was completely covered by countless vines, and the flowers were vying for attention, forming a sea of ​​flowers from top to bottom, which gathered into a wall. In the middle of the sea of ​​flowers, a stone gate stood out, five zhang high and three zhang wide, embedded in the tree trunk.

The surrounding area was submerged by countless vines and flowers, leaving only the thick boulder in the center with four large characters in ancient seal script carved on it: "Heavenly Emperor's Treasury!"

Faintly, a resounding, grand sound echoed in the clear sky, shaking one's very soul. This sentence sent a shiver down one's spine.

Li Xiuyuan's mind remained unchanged, as calm as a still well. To him, the voice was merely loud.

Suddenly, a vast expanse of orange-yellow color appeared rapidly in the sky, covering an area of ​​several tens of feet in diameter, and enveloped them, even blocking out the sunlight.

Then, a clear, phoenix-like cry seemed to echo from the sky.

what!

Li Xiuyuan was surprised. When he saw the giant bird, he knew exactly what it was: it was the Bird of the Nine Heavens.

This is an enormous bird with orange-yellow feathers all over its body. When it spreads its wings and flies, it hovers in the air. Even the older generation of masters in the world of Jade Dynasty find it very troublesome.

Huang Niao's power is in no way inferior to any Earth Immortal-level expert. For the leaders of these major sects, it seems that another super expert has emerged.

And finally, contenders emerged for the treasure trove of heaven and earth.

Suddenly, the horizontal stroke of the character "天" (heaven) in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury moved up a little further.

The stone door, which was originally about three feet wide and half open, suddenly stopped moving. After a moment, it began to close instead, and the golden light inside gradually dimmed.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan knew that if they didn't go in soon, the Heavenly Treasure Vault would be closed.

He was naturally unwilling to accept this. In an instant, his figure swelled to two meters and flew rapidly towards the stone gate. Seeing that the bird of the nine heavens wanted to enter, he held the Divine Demon Sword in his hand and unleashed a terrifying killing aura, slashing fiercely at it.

This sword strike, seemingly casually executed, actually contains the ultimate truths of heaven and earth. Furthermore, this divine and demonic sword contains the killing aura of creation, which even a Great Luo Golden Immortal cannot ignore.

Rumble!

The sky was cleaved into a blurry outline by Li Xiuyuan's sword.

Tweet!

The bird of the nine heavens was cleaved by this sword energy, its blood flowing freely, one of its wings was severed, and its body began to descend.

After eliminating this competitor, Li Xiuyuan finally entered the room, where it was pitch black all around.

He stared intently at the wooden platform standing in the darkness. It was about half a person's height, with a round wooden pillar about the thickness of an infant's arm extending into the ground, supporting a small platform about a foot in size at the top.

In the middle of the platform, there is a cup with an ancient shape, which looks like it is made of wood. If you look closely, you can see that the entire wooden platform and the cup are completely connected together and integrated with the trees on the ground.

Li Xiuyuan was shocked. This wooden cup and the giant tree were one entity. Could it be that they were formed naturally?

However, what's most captivating is what's inside the wooden cup. The cup is about three inches tall and two inches wide, containing a transparent liquid in the center. Floating on top of that liquid is a small, transparent stone, flat on all five sides, crystal clear.

From this stone, soft light emanates, forming a semi-circular light curtain on the small wooden platform, refracting various colors of light and radiating outwards.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan walked towards the platform. A strange fragrance wafted in the air, omnipresent and invigorating to all who smelled it.

In the original novel of "Zhu Xian", the spiritual liquid in the Heavenly Emperor's treasure trove was swallowed by the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey. It was definitely a good thing, and the Yellow Bird went there for this cup of spiritual liquid.

Legend has it that the Heavenly Emperor's secret elixir, this wooden platform and cup, are all connected to the strange tree beneath our feet, preserving its spiritual energy through the tree's own millennia-old spiritual energy.

Li Xiuyuan's cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong required a great deal of spiritual energy. He had already completely used up the original treasure of the Dragon Subduing Sect, if not for the fact that he relied on the other party's hundreds of years of accumulation.

Li Xiuyuan would need at least thirty years to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Yuan Technique to the fourth level, but he has now achieved it halfway. If the spiritual energy in this Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault is truly something valuable, its benefits to him are self-evident.

After thinking about this, Li Xiuyuan took the spiritual liquid from the cup and drank it down. He was highly skilled and daring, so he was naturally not afraid of causing any problems.
