Danzun War God

Chapter Eighty-Seven: Entering the Mountains

Han Qi laughed and said, "Then thank you for your kindness, Elder. Just arrange for a fellow Daoist who is familiar with the terrain."

"That's all fine, but you must not go too deep into Demon Spirit Mountain. Going too deep might be dangerous. If it really doesn't work, wait until the matters within the sect are settled and there are no more worries before I accompany you." As Guo Huai'an spoke, he took out a jade box from his Qiankun Ring and handed it to Han Qi. Needless to say, it was definitely the Ascension Grass.

This Ascension Herb is indeed a rare item. Han Qi quickly put the herb away in his storage ring. Guo Huai'an, however, didn't ask what he needed the herb for and just gave it away casually. What a generous gesture! Han Qi couldn't help but think to himself.

In truth, it felt like a piece of his own flesh was being torn apart, but the fact that his former friend's beloved daughter had come to demand it made him realize the seriousness of the matter. Tang Shuntian had never let this girl leave him, let alone let her run here. On the other hand, he wanted to use this Ascension Grass to bribe them to get rid of Zhong Wuxiang.

Tang Siyu was so moved that she almost burst into tears, feeling one step closer to saving her father.

After Guo Huai'an left, everyone returned to their rooms to prepare for the journey to Demon Spirit Mountain. Han Qi wasted no more time and quickly returned to his room to continue comprehending the Formless Technique, aiming to break through to the fifth level as soon as possible, because the stronger his primordial spirit power, the greater his chances of victory.

Within Han Qi's Life Palace, the Refining Heaven Stone emitted a five-colored light, enveloping Han Qi's primordial spirit. As Han Qi continuously strengthened his Formless Technique, the golden light emanating from his primordial spirit grew increasingly dazzling. At this moment, Han Qi's primordial spirit resembled a small golden statue, its entire body now golden.

Suddenly, Han Qi's primordial spirit opened its eyes, instantly radiating a powerful aura. The five-colored light of the Refining Heaven Stone flickered continuously on the primordial spirit, then gradually disappeared upwards from its feet. However, after the five-colored light disappeared, the golden body of the primordial spirit became even purer. Han Qi's primordial spirit was entering the fifth level of the Formless Technique.

The fifth level was completed quickly, and the entire life palace was enveloped in golden light. Suddenly, Han Qi remembered that the Fire Qilin had said that its soul sea was relatively large and it was more comfortable to live in it. Why did his primordial spirit have to open a dojo in this narrow life palace? So he moved his primordial spirit into the soul sea and put the Refining Heaven Stone into the soul sea as well.

As soon as the Primordial Spirit Dao Field was set up, the Refining Heaven Stone was suspended directly above the Life Palace, emitting a five-colored light. Han Qi was stunned for a moment. Previously, the Refining Heaven Stone had emitted a five-colored light when he was circulating the Formless Technique.

Immediately, Han Qi felt a sense of clarity in his mind, and instantly felt the spiritual energy in his soul sea become abundant, increasing the amount of spiritual energy stored. Han Qi was overjoyed. It turned out that the Refining Heaven Stone had this function. This Fire Qilin was too stingy, not even giving him a hint about such a good thing. Fortunately, he had tried it.

By this time, it was already broad daylight. Han Qi got up and went out, satisfied, ready to head into the mountains.

Once everyone was ready, the disciple Guo Huai'an had arranged arrived. It was the shy, handsome young man who had delivered the meals yesterday. He greeted everyone timidly: "Senior Sister Tang, fellow senior brothers, my name is Ye Shuo. My master asked me to guide you. Please give me your guidance."

Upon seeing that it was a handsome young man, Tang Siyu immediately jumped over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Junior Brother Ye Shuo."

Without further ado, just as the group stepped out of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect's gate, a man blocked their path and coldly asked, "Where are you all headed?"

"Huang Zaifei, the eldest disciple of the sect leader of this era, is no pushover," Ye Shuo said in a low voice.

"Senior Brother Huang, these are some distinguished guests from the Divine Demon Palace. They are on their way to Demon Spirit Mountain to gather some medicinal herbs. I wonder if Senior Brother Huang has any advice for them?" Ye Shuo said, neither humble nor arrogant, his words contradicting his shy appearance.

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible wicked smile appeared on Huang Zaifei's lips as he slowly said, "Well, Demon Spirit Mountain is teeming with magical beasts, so please be careful. There have been several incidents of magical beasts injuring people recently."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother Huang. We will be careful," Tang Siyu said, bowing respectfully.

After that, Huang Zaifei stopped talking, entered the gate of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace, glanced at Han Qi as he passed by, let out a soft snort, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Han Qi immediately sensed the hostility of the other party, and he also concluded that the two people who attacked him that night were the master and apprentice. He thought to himself: What monsters hurting people? Isn't it just an excuse for you to build an army base to prevent others from entering the mountains?

The group then entered the mountain. Led by Ye Shuo, they progressed quickly and encountered almost no resistance. However, Han Qi knew that to find the Black Heart Demon Soul Flower, they had to go deep into the heart of the mountain, as the ones outside had already been harvested.

Unbeknownst to them, the group had been walking upwards for almost a day and was approaching the heart of Demon Spirit Mountain. The further they went in, the stronger the demonic energy and resentment became, and everyone carried weapons in case of unforeseen circumstances. Han Qi, of course, still carried the Demon-Slaying Sword.

"It's a bit strange today. It seems like the resentment here doesn't dare to approach us. In the past, if we went this deep, the resentment would have surrounded us long ago, and the demonic sounds would have already made us feel disturbed," Ye Shuo said with a puzzlement.

"That's right. Look who's here today. If any demons or monsters dare to show up, they'll be annihilated in an instant," Qin Wuyang said jokingly.

"The sun is almost setting now, and it might be troublesome if we have to spend the night here. Nighttime is when they are most active," Ye Shuo said with some concern.

At this moment, Han Qi sniffed the air hard and said confidently, "The Black Heart Demon Soul Flower is nearby. I can smell it. Be careful, this flower will attract demonic beasts when it blooms."

Everyone believed Han Qi's words without question. Hearing him say this, they sniffed around, but found nothing. Ye Shuo looked at Han Qi suspiciously, thinking to himself, "This guy is definitely just saying this to boost morale." Seeing everyone becoming cautious, he also released his divine sense to its maximum range.

Suddenly, Han Qi made a gesture, and everyone stopped and stared intently at a bush in front of them. A red flower with a black center, about the size of a fist, had come into their view. It looked like the Black Heart Demon Soul Flower.

Ye Shuo was secretly shocked by Han Qi's abilities, and his eyes began to look at him with admiration and respect.

"Hiss!"

A series of hissing sounds, as if piercing eardrums, rang out. Then, three ants, each the size of a person, appeared, their eyes wide with rage, spewing fire from their mouths.

"Sixth-tier Bloodthirsty Demon Ants, my life is over!" Ye Shuo cried out in sorrow. An elder of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect had perished at the hands of these Bloodthirsty Demon Ants, and not just one, but three, and everyone's cultivation was far inferior to that elder's.

Suddenly, a demonic ant rushed up with lightning speed. This bloodthirsty demonic ant was not stupid. It chose to attack Han Qi because Han Qi's cultivation level was the lowest and he was the easiest to kill. Once it succeeded, it could intimidate the others.
