Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

"You human brat, you broke your promise!"

"I'm leaving! Quickly release the restrictions!"

The tiny demon infant was filled with fear and anxiety, and cried out in despair.

Lin Changsheng reached out and formed a strange hand seal, and a sharp aura burst forth from the demon infant's body!

"what!"

The magical power within the miniature demon infant instantly dissipated.

With a series of hissing sounds, the demonic infant dimmed at a visible speed.

"Stop, human!"

"Boy, whatever you want to talk about, I will grant your request!"

"Stop damaging my demonic infant's essence!"

The miniature demon infant gave in again, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Seeing this, Lin Changsheng slowed down his magical power and looked calmly at the increasingly dim demon infant.

"This junior is not a violent person. As long as you are willing to cooperate, you will naturally no longer suffer from the scorching demon infant."

Lin Changsheng kept his fingertips shrouded in magical power as a threat, while offering words of comfort.

Now, after all the trouble I've caused, this demonic infant is extremely weak, and some parts of it have even become translucent.

This is a sign that the demonic infant is weak and about to dissipate.

In addition, taking advantage of the moment when the demon was off guard, Lin Changsheng imitated the method of 'Tian Du Zhenren' to set up a restriction, leaving a solid restriction on the demon infant, and almost completely controlled the demon infant of this transformed demon king.

The miniature demon infant gave Lin Changsheng a venomous look, then its wary gaze fell on the hand seal he was holding.

His silent demeanor suggested extreme resentment, yet also helplessness.

"What is your true form, senior? And why are you here in my dojo?"

Seeing that the miniature demon infant was gradually becoming docile, Lin Changsheng raised his doubts.

"My true form is the 'Azure Wood King Butterfly.' Not long ago, I was ambushed by two human Nascent Soul cultivators. Severely injured, my demonic infant left my body and escaped. Passing by this place, I inadvertently sensed the pure wood-attribute aura here, which was very compatible with my original aura. So I decided to hide here to recover my depleted demonic infant's original aura."

The tiny demon infant spoke in a stiff, emotionless tone.

Aoki King Butterfly?

It seems to be different from the Green Wood Demon Butterfly mentioned by the Nangong family.

Lin Changsheng nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Based on the restriction he left on the other party's demon infant, he could vaguely sense whether what the other party said was true or false.

The other party answered fluently, with their magical power flowing naturally, showing no signs of lying.

"Human, now that you have mastered such an exquisite restriction, you surely won't let me go, will you?"

The tiny demon infant asked weakly.

Although her physical body was destroyed, her fourth-order demon infant was still a rare treasure.

If they were both demonic beasts, they might directly devour and refine her demonic infant to increase their own divine consciousness.

Human cultivators, on the other hand, can do even more using demonic infants.

Erasing consciousness, absorbing and refining it, or implanting one's own consciousness as a second nascent soul, refining an avatar, refining it into a puppet spirit, a weapon spirit, etc...

At worst, putting the demon infant up for sale would still attract the interest of many Nascent Soul cultivators of the same level.

For a moment, the tiny demon infant felt that the road ahead was bleak.

“Indeed, since there are restrictions, this junior will not easily let the senior go.”

After a brief silence, Lin Changsheng nodded and spoke truthfully.

This demon infant is only temporarily down on its luck, but it is still a fourth-order transformed demon king, comparable to a human Nascent Soul cultivator.

That was a completely new realm that even the 'Heavenly Poison Master' had never reached.

Moreover, this demonic infant knew too many of my trump cards and secrets.

Releasing it like this would be tantamount to letting a tiger return to the mountains.

After all, he had almost killed the other party here. If the other party were to recover one day, he would probably be in trouble.

"Heh, human cultivators are indeed cunning. I've only just advanced to the fourth rank, and I never expected to fall into the hands of such a mere cultivator. I wonder what you intend to do with me?"

"This... I haven't thought about it yet, but as long as you cooperate, senior, you may not be in any danger for the time being."

……

Two months later.

Changchun Peak Cave.

On this day, Lin Changsheng received a message from the Nangong family.

Regarding the results of the clearing operation in the Wanfeng Mountains and the issuance of the 'conscription order'.

Under the leadership of the Nascent Soul True Monarch of Shangqing Palace, the major cultivation families of Yue Kingdom, including Qinglan Sect, Chiyan Valley, Bafang Alliance, and Nangong Family, worked together to successfully kill the fourth-order transformed demon king in Wanfeng Mountain Range.

Along with a dozen or so third-tier demons in the Wanfeng Mountains, they were also wiped out.

Among them, the Blackwater Serpent, a powerful demon of the late stage of the third tier, was subdued by the Nascent Soul True Monarch of Shangqing Palace and became his spirit beast.

Three months later, all independent cultivators in the Yue Kingdom's cultivation world who enjoyed spiritual vein dojos had to accept the summons of their respective local forces to take turns patrolling the Wanfeng Mountains, undertaking the important task of clearing out the remaining demonic beasts and driving out enemy cultivators.

On the front of the 'Conscription Order' are engraved three powerful and ancient characters: 'Hua Chenyang'.

This person is none other than the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the Yue Kingdom, the 'Nascent Soul True Lord' of the Shangqing Palace.

It is said that this 'recruitment order' targeting rogue cultivators was first proposed by that True Lord.

In addition, the major sects and forces of Yue Kingdom will also send disciples to guard the spiritual veins of the Wanfeng Mountains.

"Old Black is still alive! He's also been enslaved by human cultivators."

A pale green demonic infant sprang out from beside Lin Changsheng and hovered silently.

Upon hearing that a third-tier demon was still alive in the Wanfeng Mountains, she was initially pleased, but soon became disappointed.

"Boy, quickly find ten or a hundred more people to cultivate your technique together. Soon it will be enough for me to recover my demon infant. Then I will help you condense your golden core!"

The tiny demon infant spoke to Lin Changsheng with some anxiety.

"Senior Aoki, don't waste your time. My wood-attribute cultivation method is extremely special. Even if an ordinary person obtains this cultivation method, it will be difficult to see any results."

Lin Changsheng shook his head and said.

After imprisoning the Green Wood King Butterfly Demon Infant that day, Lin Changsheng made an agreement with the other party.

Lin Changsheng will not actively erase the demon infant's consciousness, and will repair the demon infant's origin to a certain extent.

The demon infant needs to stay by his side and provide assistance when necessary, until Lin Changsheng cultivates to the late stage of the Golden Core realm or reaches the age of three hundred.

At that time, he was at least less afraid of the demon infant's revenge.

This condition was also proposed by Lin Changsheng himself.

Give the other person hope.

This can also be considered a form of comfort for the demon infant.

This demon infant, controlled by others, had no choice but to agree.

After reaching a consensus, the human and the demon temporarily reconciled.

At the demon infant's urgent request, the two also made a deal.

Afterwards, Lin Changsheng took the initiative to use the power of the Changchun Kung Fu to feed the demon infant and help it recover.

His magical power was special; it was this power that was sensed by the demon infant when he left a restriction inside its body.

As a result, after consuming a large amount of Changchun Gong's power, it was discovered that it actually had the effect of restoring the original wood attribute of the demon infant.

The process was just too slow. Even though Lin Changsheng had been feeding it with his magic power for more than ten years, it was still not half repaired.

Ultimately, at the demon infant's request, Lin Changsheng passed on a simplified breathing mantra from the Changchun Gong to Tian Fu, asking him to perform the exercise on his behalf.

However, he was shocked to discover that although everything seemed normal when Tian Fu practiced this technique, he was still unable to gather even a trace of the Everlasting Spring Technique power within his body.
