I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

It's because he cares too much that he gets confused.

Although Lüqiu Qingfeng was not as powerful as Ye Island Master, who was at the peak of the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm, his speed of escape due to his "half-true spirit" Nine Phoenix divine bloodline was too fast for an ordinary Spiritualization Realm Master to catch up with.

Decades ago, if it wasn't for the intention to lure Qi Yaoxian and wait for his arrival, with Qi Yaoxian's escape speed, he probably wouldn't even be able to see Luqiu Qingfeng's tail.

……

After Island Master Ye appeared, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became silent. The four great gods stared at the ugly old man closely, while the rest of the quasi-gods did not even dare to breathe.

"Master Ye, I don't remember that you can make pills? And have you reached the fifth level of alchemy?"

Master Qiye stepped forward and asked in a tight voice.

But in response to this question, Island Master Ye chuckled and looked completely unconcerned, "Brother Qiye, how much do you know about me? When you were born, I had already been practicing in seclusion for who knows how many years. Over the years, I didn't reveal my attainments in alchemy because I was worried that you guys would take risks and force me to make pills for you two."

"Now, this island master's life span is coming to an end. If he does not survive the next catastrophe, he will surely die. In this case... there is no need to hide this attainment in the way of alchemy."

Island Master Ye did not conceal these words from Wei Tu and the others when conveying them to Master Qiye and the bald-browed old man. Instead, he spoke them out directly and openly.

Although this statement was meant to explain that he was a "fifth-level alchemist", another meaning was also very clear.

——That is to warn Master Qiye and the bald-browed old man not to harbor evil thoughts towards him, otherwise he would rather risk his own death than help these two to refine the elixir. After all, he didn't have much time left to live, and "those who have no desires have no requests."

The words fell.

Master Qiye and the bald-browed old man narrowed their eyes, looked at each other, and nodded slowly.

Originally, the two of them were hesitating whether to explore the "Golden Flame Island" with Island Master Ye to search for the ascension channel that might exist on this island.

Now, Island Master Ye offered to help them refine the elixir, and there was no way they could refuse.

As long as they make this trip, regardless of success or failure, they will have some hope of ascending to the upper realm afterwards.

Seeing that he had convinced his two old friends, Master Qiye and the old man with bald eyebrows, Island Master Ye, who was standing on the auction table, turned his gaze and looked at Mao Wenhan and the blind Taoist priest.

"You two Daoists still have a long life span, so you probably don't want to explore Golden Flame Island with this island master. But as long as you two are willing to go with this island master, then..."

Island Master Ye moved his lips slightly, pressing the sound into a line and transmitting it to Mao Wenhan and the blind Taoist.

After a moment, as Island Master Ye stopped talking, Mao Wenhan and the blind Taoist priest showed signs of interest on their faces, and no longer showed signs of struggle or resistance.

Then, Island Master Ye turned his gaze again and looked at the largest group of quasi-divine cultivators in the hall.

This made the quasi-god-transforming monks present present suddenly look excited, diluting the sadness of being used as scapegoats. After all, if there is a chance to fight, some dangers are nothing.

But unfortunately, Island Master Ye did not make any serious promises. Instead, he glanced at them casually and said with a smile: "My two Taoist friends, you can choose your disciples now."

As soon as these words fell.

Some of the quasi-gods present turned pale, while others looked furious.

It was just that he didn't dare to speak angrily because of the presence of the Venerable Huashen in front of him.

"Master Ye, if that's the case, why do you let those Nascent Soul cultivators go? Wouldn't it be safer to have them explore the way?"

A quasi-god-transcendence monk spoke with an uneasy look.

Although this statement may drag other "innocent people" into the water, which seems unethical, it is also a good way to reduce his own danger.

When many quasi-gods heard this, although they did not agree openly on their faces, they agreed with it in their hearts.

After all, a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist.

"Only you, the quasi-gods who have cultivated the Dharma image, can see the space cracks on the Golden Flame Island. It would be useless to let those Yuanying go there."

Island Master Ye explained calmly.

After these words were spoken, the quasi-gods present no longer held out hope and a look of sadness appeared on their faces.

However, some smart people, after seeing the bald-browed old man giving the "Purple Scale Armor" to Wei Tu, immediately had an idea and began to promote themselves to the group of gods present, hoping to become their disciples so that they could have more means to save their lives.

Taoist Black Wolf is one of them.

When he tore off his disguise, revealed his true identity, and announced his Taoist name, Mao Wenhan, who was selecting "disciples" on the side, was immediately attracted.

The Black Wolf Taoist was a famous independent cultivator from the Eastern Region. He was also well aware of the fact that this independent cultivator had achieved divine enlightenment.

Mao Wenhan's "disciple" was finalized and the Taoist Black Wolf was chosen, while the Blind Taoist also chose a beautiful female cultivator in a pink dress as his "disciple".

Among the old friends Wei Tu knew, only Fu Zhizhou failed to be selected, becoming the "blank slate monk" with the greatest possibility of death and no background among all the quasi-god-transforming monks.

Of course, this was also because Fu Zhizhou did not compete with other quasi-gods like the Black Wolf Taoist did, but stood silently in the crowd without saying a word.

This made Wei Tu look at Fu Zhizhou a few more times. He realized that his brother might have other people to rely on, so he didn't stay here to fight for a better chance of survival.

……

After assigning the "disciples", Island Master Ye spoke a few words to the four great divine masters. Then the four of them waved their sleeves and used their magic power to sweep up a part of the quasi-divine monks and flew quickly towards the deep sea.

Just as he was leaving, Wei Tu observed with his spiritual sense that Island Master Ye quietly put away the island protection formation on Xuanfeng Island. The formation flags were taken into his sleeves, thus completely exposing the "high-level black market" that had been hidden on the coast of Dayan cultivation world for many years to everyone.

Obviously, Island Master Ye is ready to fight to the death.

This time, either he will succeed and ascend to heaven, or he will fail and die on the Golden Flame Island.

The flight lasted for several months.

It was not until the spiritual energy on the sea surface became so thin that it was almost gone that Wei Tu and others saw an island shining with golden light in the distance in the deep sea.

This island is covered with volcanoes and is more than ten times the size of Xuanfeng Island. It is more like a continent than an island.

Above the island, beneath the golden glow, there are heavy, leaden gray clouds, beneath which the wind and clouds are turbulent, revealing many strange phenomena.

When you get closer, you can hear the occasional cries of wolves and howls of ghosts coming from the island, as well as the intricate ancient forbidden formations and space cracks scattered around the island.

The entire island was a huge blockade formation. Even with Wei Tu's vast spiritual sense, it was difficult to see the path to the island and the detailed scenery inside the island for a moment.

Island Master Ye brought the four great incarnations of Mao Wenhan, the blind Taoist, Master Qiye, and the bald-browed old man to the southeast of Golden Flame Island. He took out a red jade array plate and dozens of array flags from his sleeve, and while setting up the array, he said:
"Ever since I found out where the Golden Flame Island is, I have been studying the ancient forbidden formation on this island for thousands of years. I have entered this island hundreds of times, but I always stopped outside the Demon-Fixing Cave..."

"However, if you want to open the ascension passage to the spirit world, you must enter this Demon Cave and find the ancient demon imprisoned on this island. Only with the help of the remaining demonic energy of this demon can you use the formation to tear open the space crack again..."

"This spatial crack was originally the spatial passage that the ancient demon wanted to use to escape back to the ancient demon world. However, with the help of my formation, it can be changed into a spatial passage leading to the spirit world. At that time, except for this island master, the four fellow Taoists can use this to ascend to the spirit world."

"With our qualifications, it would be a waste of time to live in the lower realm. If we can ascend to the upper realm, we can at least become a Void Refining cultivator."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Mao Wenhan and other Divine Transformation cultivators were greatly excited, but also a group of Quasi-Divine Transformation cultivators who were used as scapegoats were quite agitated. They couldn't help but imagine their own lives if they were lucky enough to escape this time and ascend to the upper realms.

But only Wei Tu showed a trace of pity in his eyes after hearing this.

Have mercy on these quasi-god-transforming monks!

It is true that the ascension channel can lead to ascension, but not everyone can ascend through it.

The enormous spatial pressure inside was so great that even the three most powerful cultivators, Island Master Ye, Master Qiye, and the old man with bald eyebrows, would probably choke if they tried to resist it!
Once you enter, you will probably lose half your life.

What’s more, he is just a quasi-divine cultivator.

He entered the "space crack" leading to the spiritual world without permission, and there was only one outcome, which was to be crushed into pieces by the pressure of space and die instantly!
If not for this, he and the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl would have already prepared to ascend to the spiritual world from the God-Slaying Ridge. Why would they still stay in the lower world and practice hard?

It took about three days.

Under the bombardment of numerous magic arrays set up by Island Master Ye, the ancient forbidden array of Golden Flame Island finally revealed a passage that could accommodate one person.

Island Master Ye went in first. After making sure there was no danger inside, the four great gods looked at each other, grabbed their "disciples" and the rest of the quasi-gods, turned into a beam of light, and squeezed into the passage.

As soon as we entered the Golden Flame Island.

A breath of scorching spiritual flame instantly rushed towards Wei Tu's face, but as a practitioner practicing both Dharma and body, this high temperature was nothing to him. After practicing his skills a little, he felt as "normal" as in the outside world.

But other weaker quasi-divination monks did not have the strength of Wei Tu. After screaming from the burns, they immediately put up a magic shield to resist the flames inside.

"Not bad." The bald-browed old man looked at Wei Tu with approval, and then told Wei Tu to put on the "Purple Scale Armor" quickly. "Once we are on the island, the temperature of the spiritual flame will be even higher. Even people like us have to resist it seriously."

Several months of flying time were enough for Wei Tu to successfully refine the "Purple Scale Armor". Wei Tu nodded, took out the "Purple Scale Armor" and put it on himself.

At this moment, the other disciples who had reached the state of transformation into gods also took out the defensive magic weapons given to them by their master.

However, Mao Wenhan and the blind Taoist priest were relatively poor, so it was difficult for them to give inferior spiritual treasures to Wei Tu and Gong Shulan as the bald-browed old man and Master Qiye did.

The protective spiritual objects that these two gave to the Black Wolf Taoist and the pink-skirted female cultivator were only of the quasi-fifth-level, and were not conspicuous among the defensive magic tools of the quasi-gods.

Taking advantage of the conversation between Island Master Ye and Mao Wenhan and others, Wei Tu also flashed a green light in his palm, and used the "Hun'e Evil Eye" to spy on every aspect of Jinyan Island.

However, the other directions were still smooth. Once he reached the deep ancient cave in the distance, his sight was blocked by the huge demonic energy within, making it impossible to peer inside.

There is no doubt that this deep ancient cave should be the "Demon Cave" mentioned by Island Master Ye.

But he still found it hard to believe such a violation of the "rules of heaven and earth". After all, according to the rules of heaven and earth, the spiritual objects, the realm of cultivators, the forbidden formations and magic tools in the human world would not exceed the level of transformation of the spirit - and his Hun'e Evil Eye had enough pupil power to be comparable to that of the late stage of transformation of the spirit!
"The passage between the two worlds!" His heart was shocked, and he instantly remembered the scene of the battle between Jiang Lingzi and Pei Hong. At that time, the souls of these two powerful men from the lower world broke through to the initial stage of refining emptiness at the same time.

Only this point can explain why the demonic energy in this "Demon Cave" is unusual and exceeds the level of transformation.

This is also consistent with Island Master Ye’s judgment that there is indeed a "space crack" leading to the upper realm in the Demon-Fixing Cave on the Golden Flame Island.

"Fellow Daoist Linggu? Do you know Golden Flame Island?"

Suddenly, Wei Tu remembered the soul of Youshen, the soul of the Demon Lord of the ancient demon world. He started to communicate with him and asked about the details of the island.

"What Golden Flame Island?" Upon hearing this unfamiliar place name, the ghost soul was stunned and asked in confusion.

But after Wei Tu told Youshen's soul the detailed geographical location of Golden Flame Island and the existence of the Demon-Fixing Cave, the demon suddenly realized and said, "So this is the place."

"This place is not called Golden Flame Island, but Qibingtai. It was a stationed place when our world invaded your human world in ancient times. The ancient demons of the ancient demon world descended into the human world through the passage between the two worlds opened by Qibingtai...but later, a powerful tribulation-crossing expert from the Yulong clan came to the human world and forcibly sealed this place."

The ghost soul raised his eyebrows and said.

"Is there any danger here?" Hearing this, Wei Tu was suddenly delighted and asked hurriedly.

But in response to this, the ghost soul shook his head.

"The ancient times are too far away from now. I am also an ancient demon born after the ancient times, so how can I know the details of the war in the ancient times. However, this Qibingtai is a magical weapon built by the ancient demon world to attack the world, and the buildings inside are generally similar."

"As for the danger, I don't know, but as for the opportunities inside, I do know a little bit..."

"What opportunity?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.

He originally thought that this place was just a passage to ascend to the upper realm, but he never imagined that it actually contained what could be called an opportunity for him.

“The Qibingtai is a magical weapon that can attack the world. It can transform spiritual energy into demonic energy that the ancient demons are adapted to. But it is suppressed by the seal of the powerful person who is transcending the tribulation. It is difficult for the Qibingtai to transform spiritual energy into demonic energy… However, in the past so many years, the Qibingtai has absorbed so much spiritual energy. If nothing unexpected happens, these huge amounts of spiritual energy are still trapped in the Qibingtai…” The ghost god’s soul laughed and reminded Wei Tu.

However, although Wei Tu was moved when he heard this, he did not lose his mind. Instead, his eyes flashed and he asked the question that he cared about most.

——Is the sealed ancient troll alive?

He had already witnessed the difficulty and immortality of the ancient demon in the Yunze Secret Realm of the Da Cang cultivation world.

Needless to say, an ancient demon that could provoke the seal of a powerful person in the Tribulation Realm is no ordinary creature.

What's more, this place is the "passage between two worlds", and the rules of heaven and earth in the human world are largely ineffective here. Therefore, even if this ancient demon is sealed, its strength is estimated to still be above the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"Tsk! There is no powerful ancient demon here. That young man surnamed Ye is so ignorant that he didn't even enter the Demon Cave. He simply saw the huge demonic energy inside and mistakenly believed that an ancient demon was sealed here."

"The powerful tribulation-relief warrior of the Yulong clan just casually sealed a military platform... not some powerful ancient demon. However, it is hard to say whether there is an ancient demon that was sealed and luckily survived inside the military platform." The ghost soul changed the subject and did not finish his words.

But at this point, he paused and said, "Even if I have bad intentions towards you, I will at most do it myself, and I will never push you to other ancient demons. You can rest assured about this."

The ghost soul knew clearly that Wei Tu asked this question because he was not confident in his words and was worried that he would betray him.

The words fell.

Wei Tu nodded to show his agreement.

The ghost god's soul still has some ideas about the "secrets" in his sea of ​​consciousness, so it is impossible for him to get the advantage of other ancient demons.

This demon had deceived him before, but at most it was tempting him, setting up a formation to attract the so-called "ancient demon's blood".

“Moreover, the laws of heaven and earth that are changed by the channel between the two worlds are also limited. Unless a powerful cultivator who has just transcended tribulation or reached the Mahayana stage descends to the world, it would be good enough for most cultivators in the lower world to improve their cultivation to the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm.” The ghost soul pondered for a moment and spoke of the unknown secret when the cultivators from the upper world descended to the world.

"The early stage of refining emptiness?" Wei Tu was slightly startled when he heard that, and nodded subconsciously.

If it is said that during the war between the two races, Jiang Lingzi's strength increased because of the limited resources in the lower realm, then Pei Hong was obviously not like that... Since he brought the "Qianjun Spirit Doll" to the lower realm, it makes no sense for him not to bring some other spiritual objects that could improve his realm to the lower realm, and he had to suppress his strength to the initial stage of refining emptiness and fight to the death with Jiang Lingzi.

The only explanation is that, as the Ghostly Soul said, these cultivators in the lower world, even with the help of the two-world channel to change the rules of the human world, can only improve their cultivation to the initial stage of refining emptiness at most...

If it were any higher, only the Mahayana monks or those who were transcending tribulation would descend to the mortal world.

But in the early stage of refining emptiness, Wei Tu was also very wary. If he had a choice, he would not want to enter easily.

But soon, as the ghost spirit passed on a mantra to him, his spirits suddenly lifted, and he looked in the direction of the Demon Cave, eager to try.

The mantra passed down to him by the ghost spirit was not something else, but the mantra to activate the transfer formation on the Qibingtai.

As long as he recites this formula, he can instantly move to another location in the Qibingtai, without having to worry about whether there are any ancient demons alive in there. (End of this chapter)
