Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

"Don't worry, Senior Aoki, I understand."

Lin Changsheng nodded, secretly activating the Changchun Gong technique to surround himself, while simultaneously enveloping the Green Wood King Butterfly Demon Infant.

Immediately under the latter's guidance, he piloted the flying boat artifact and flew in a certain direction.

In fact, during this process, the demonic infant of Aoki King Butterfly also used a secret technique to conceal its aura.

Furthermore, it mimicked the aura of the Changchun Gong technique within Lin Changsheng's body, almost merging with him, making it virtually undetectable to outsiders.

The reason for such caution was that Aoki King Butterfly was terrified by the two human Nascent Soul cultivators.

During his flight, Lin Changsheng relied on his powerful senses to avoid other cultivators nearby.

At this time, the outer perimeter of the Wanfeng Mountains was almost entirely populated by Qi Condensation cultivators who had been summoned, as well as some younger generations from sects and families, who were here to exterminate demonic beasts.

Lin Changsheng intentionally avoided being discovered by these juniors.

However, as they went deeper, they gradually encountered some Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Lin Changsheng had no choice but to slow down and be careful.

The screams of monsters echoed from all around, along with scenes of human cultivators chasing and besieging them.

Judging from this trend, although there are many monsters in the Wanfeng Mountains, they cannot withstand such indiscriminate hunting.

It's likely that the monsters in this area will become extinct within a few years.

"It seems that whether it is a human force or a demon beast, if a force or race wants to develop, it must have a high-level combat force to match it."

Lin Changsheng sighed inwardly.

Previously, the Wanfeng Mountains were guarded by a large number of third-tier demons, and ordinary humans only dared to explore the outer areas, never daring to venture into the forbidden zone.

Even in the days following Qingmu Wangdie's breakthrough to the fourth rank, the surrounding Nangong family was filled with unease.

But now that the powerful demon has lost its deterrent, the monsters in the Wanfeng Mountains have lost their protection and are in a miserable situation.

Aoki Wangdie, who had also noticed this, had been cursing and swearing in Lin Changsheng's ear the whole way.

If it weren't for his strong dissuasion, the Azure Wood King Butterfly Demon Infant would have rushed out and annihilated all the human cultivators along the way.

……

Half a day later.

Lin Changsheng, who was flying away, suddenly stopped and landed on a low hill with a solemn expression.

"What's wrong, kid? We're almost there!"

In my ear, Aoki Ocho's voice sounded somewhat anxious.

"Senior Aoki, please forgive my rudeness."

The next moment, spiritual light emanated from Lin Changsheng's fingertips, and he activated the restriction left inside the demon infant's body.

After carefully confirming that the restrictions on the other party's demon infant were intact, they remained in this state.

In this way, as long as he has a thought, he can immediately activate the restriction and instantly destroy the demonic infant consciousness of the Green Wood King Butterfly.

"Kid, what are you doing!"

The Green Wood King Butterfly Demon Infant was immediately shocked, and a voice filled with surprise and fear came from it.

"I'm sorry, but before we can determine the authenticity of the treasure, I'll have to trouble Senior Aoki for now. If you've set up any formations or restrictions here beforehand, wouldn't it be like me walking into a trap if I just rushed in like this?"

Lin Changsheng's gaze was calm, and his tone was indifferent.

Although, with the help of the experience of 'True Poison Master', a restriction was left on the Green Wood King Butterfly Demon Infant to control it.

But that doesn't mean you can rest easy.

In the world of cultivation, there are also some methods that can temporarily disable restrictions.

For example, some special formations can temporarily sever the connection between cultivators and restrictions.

If the Azure Wood King Butterfly were to lure him into a similar place, and the restriction were removed, Lin Changsheng would not be able to effectively subdue the demon infant in a short period of time with his current abilities.

After all, there are no Tier 3 rune arrays to assist us here.

"You... I am not as despicable as any human!"

"You little cultivator, you used an array to launch a sneak attack, and you think everyone else is this insidious?!"

The sound of Aoki no Ocho breaking through her defenses reached her ears.

"This junior is of meager strength and had no choice but to do this in order to protect myself. It would be best if everything were as usual, but if anything goes wrong, this junior will destroy Senior Aoki's demonic infant at the first opportunity!"

Lin Changsheng remained unmoved, only issuing a faint threat.

Through the restrictions within the demon infant, Lin Changsheng sensed that its emotions were very unstable.

But this makes it easier to vaguely perceive the demon infant's thoughts, which, apart from anger and grievance, have no other emotions.

Judging from the looks of it, it's unlikely that the other side has set up an ambush to deal with him here.

So we continued to delve deeper.

Before long, Lin Changsheng appeared in front of a mountain stream.

Above the winding, deep mountain stream, a hazy, miasma-like atmosphere filled the air, carrying a hint of decay.

This is caused by the accumulation of dead leaves and mold in the mountain stream water due to the lack of sunlight all year round.

Following the guidance of Aoki Wangdie, Lin Changsheng found a natural cave about half a meter high in a steep cliff.

"Hmm? Something's not right here!"

Just as Lin Changsheng extended his divine sense to search the cave, his expression suddenly changed, and he retreated more than ten feet!

At the same time, he made a virtual tap with his fingertip, as if to activate the restrictions within the demon infant's body!

"Kid, what do you want to follow!"

"Every word I have said is true; I have no intention of harming you!"

"stop it now!"

At the same time, a faint green aura emanated from Lin Changsheng's sleeve.

A green light flashed out and hovered silently in front of Lin Changsheng, anxiously explaining.

"If that's the case, then why did Senior Aoki lure me here and even ambush a third-tier demon in the deep ravine!"

Lin Changsheng maintained the incantation for communicating with the restriction with one hand, while simultaneously taking out a third-tier defensive talisman, ready to unleash its power.

He never sensed any ill intent from the Green Wood King Butterfly Demon Infant towards him, but he could sense that there was indeed the aura of a third-tier great demon hidden in the mountain stream.

This is not divine sense probing, but a perception function that comes with one's own cultivation technique.

Even if the other party completely concealed their aura, and even reduced their body temperature and blood flow to a minimum, they still could not escape Lin Changsheng's subtle perception.

Whoosh!

Just then, a sound suddenly arose from the once calm mountain stream.

Before long, a huge head emerged from it.

Immediately afterwards, a huge black bear with a massive body emerged from it.

"Big guy? You're still alive!"

"How did you get so badly injured?"

Upon seeing the giant black bear, the tiny demon infant was instantly overjoyed!

But the demonic infant quickly sensed the weak aura emanating from the black bear, and its voice fell low.

At this moment, Lin Changsheng stared warily at the giant black bear, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

Even though the demonic aura emanating from this black bear was pitifully weak, it was still a genuine third-tier great demon!

"Kid, the treasure is in the cave. Go and get it without worry."

"Big Guy was originally one of my great demons. It must have sensed the aura of my treasure to guard this place."

The Azure Wood King Butterfly Infant spoke in a heavy tone, landing on the shoulder of the Black Bear Demon Beast, and using its wood-attribute demonic essence to heal and restore it.

Lin Changsheng did not respond. After observing silently for a moment, he flew to the side of the cave and began to sense it silently.

Before long, he suddenly showed a happy expression and immediately took out a mechanical puppet from his storage bag and sent it into the cave.
