Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

In an instant, two extremely pure and powerful demonic energies spread out, filling the nearby waters.

Master Heishui's expression was solemn as he surveyed the two ferocious beasts that had suddenly appeared. When he met their wild gazes, he felt a sense of awe and fear.

"These two powerful demons do not seem to inhabit this area..."

Blackwater Master made his own guess.

After all, the two great demons in front of them had extraordinary auras and bloodlines. If they had been entrenched here for many years, they would not be so unknown.

However, at the same time, the aura of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator around him surged again, almost reaching its limit, demonstrating his power and standing shoulder to shoulder with the aura of the two great demons, a wolf and a crow.

In the world of cultivation, the experience of facing powerful demons differs from that of cultivators.

The latter may be able to reach a consensus by communicating, negotiating, exchanging interests, and making decisions based on shared interests.

When facing a powerful demon, the approach is more direct. Only by showing a formidable presence and intimidating the opponent can trouble be minimized.

"These two great demons..."

On the other side, Lu Xun was taken aback, looking at the two extremely ferocious demons, seemingly lost in thought.

Suddenly, the image of an old friend appeared in my mind.

Although the Wind Crow and the Snow Demon Wolf are two great demons that have undergone some changes, they are both mutated demon beasts and rarely have similar species.

Moreover, it is extremely rare for two great demons to appear together.

"Yes... Senior Lin..."

"Juan'er, Old Niu can be saved!"

Lu Xun's tone was excited, and his expression was filled with surprise.

He immediately looked around.

These two powerful demons were the ones who accompanied Senior Lin back then, so Lu Xun naturally wouldn't mistake them.

Unexpectedly, in his deepest despair, he would once again encounter the benefactor of his life.

"Senior Lin?"

"My husband is referring to that... Senior Lin from the Li clan's ancestral land in Dafang Township?"

The beautiful woman beside Lu Xun looked at her husband's outburst with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

She had known her husband for many years. They were a couple, supporting each other and working together to develop their family.

She was naturally aware of some of her husband's past.

She naturally knew that, in addition to subduing a third-tier demon with a special bloodline, her husband had also had a very special 'benefactor'.

Although she had never met this person, she knew that her husband greatly admired that senior.

This change naturally did not escape the notice of the Blackwater Immortal who was not far away.

His expression darkened as he withdrew his gaze from the two men, scanned the surroundings with his divine sense, and spoke first in a deep voice:

"I wonder which fellow Daoist has graced us with his presence? Please show yourself so we can have a chat."

However, he remained skeptical of Lu Xun's words.

He had already found out the background of Lu Xun and his fake wife.

Behind the two of them was only a small, impoverished family, with no more than a hundred direct descendants, who seemed to have migrated from elsewhere only a few decades ago.

The only powerful backer behind them is a late-stage, third-tier demon.

Not long ago, a fake Core Formation cultivator named Lu Xun took the initiative to come to my door, offering a secret ruin as a bargaining chip to discuss cooperation.

Little did people know that the Blackwater True Man, who came from a rogue cultivator background, was already a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. He had been deliberately cultivating a good reputation to cover his tracks and claimed to be a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

This habit of concealing one's true cultivation level and strength has harmed many cultivators over the years, and now it has also caused trouble for Lu Xun and his wife.

At crucial moments, not only can they subdue two third-tier demons, but they also have the opportunity to enjoy the ruins behind them all to themselves.

As Blackwater Immortal finished speaking, no human cultivators were seen after a long while.

"It seems that kid was just bluffing. If he really had connections with other Golden Core cultivators, why would such a hidden ruin seek out an outsider like me?"

Blackwater Master's eyes flickered as he reassessed the strength of Xunfeng Crow and Snow Demon Wolf, and immediately made a decision.

He then acted decisively, releasing the giant python demon from its restraints, thus focusing all his efforts on restraining the Azure Water Kui Niu.

In his view, the two suddenly appearing demonic beasts were merely attracted by the battle between the great demons and wanted to get a share of the spoils.

The only option now is to abandon the giant python demon and attract the attention of the two other demons.

He then seized the opportunity to subdue the Azure Water Kui Ox. After all, such a special bloodline of demon beasts is almost extinct in the cultivation world. Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would probably want to subdue it if he saw it, and he would not want to miss the opportunity.

"Roar!"

The black water chains that had bound and tormented it for so long were released, and the giant python demon let out a relieved roar. Its cold eyes surveyed its surroundings, with a hint of human-like fear.

Whether it was the human cultivator in front of it, the Azure Water Kui Niu, or the Snow Demon Wolf and Xunfeng Crow lurking not far away, all of them made it feel extremely threatened.

As a former overlord of the waters, this was something it found hard to accept.

However, both the methods of human cultivators and the demonic bloodlines within these powerful demons instinctively made it want to retreat.

……

"Hehe, the bloodline of the giant python demon that you gave up is only so-so, I'm afraid it won't satisfy the appetites of my two pet beasts."

A light laugh rang out, the words carrying a sense of ease that seemed utterly out of place with the tense, confrontational atmosphere.

Without warning, a smiling man in white suddenly appeared behind Master Blackwater.

The man in white appeared relaxed, with deep, dark eyes and a gentle, serene demeanor. He was surrounded by a soft, green aura that gave one a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

However, this seemingly innate sense of relaxation contrasted sharply with the tense and taut expression of the Blackwater True Man in front of him.

"Fellow Daoist, you have quite the skill in concealing your aura."

"However, if you want a share of the pie, we'll have to see how much you're worth."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Blackwater Master's eyes flashed with surprise, and his heart skipped a beat, instantly becoming wary.

As a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, he wouldn't dare say he could crush Golden Core cultivators, but there are very few people of the same level who can pose a threat to him.

But the person in front of him could not only control two powerful demons with extraordinary bloodlines, but he himself could also evade his senses, so he was not to be underestimated.

After saying that, Blackwater Master exuded a chill, and then he made hand seals, and several black water chains emitting a faint cold light condensed from the water and extended towards Lin Changsheng without warning.

'Whoosh! '

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The black chains clanged together, producing a metallic jingling sound. Their crisscrossing arrangement resembled a giant cage, sealing off the area where Lin Changsheng was located.

On the surface of the dark water chain, the black spikes gleamed with a cold light, as if shrouded in black mist, clearly a sign of its potent poison.

"Senior Lin, be careful, Master Blackwater is skilled in using poison!"

Lu Xun immediately realized what was happening and recognized the figure in white, and hurriedly reminded him.
