Qinghe Immortal Clan.
Chapter 739: One move away from achieving the Nascent Soul
The "Iron Wall Demon King" with a wisp of white beard on his face looked at Li Mufeng with a smile, then shook his head slightly and said:
“Fellow Daoist Li, you have misunderstood. Your sect and I have no life-or-death grudges, and blocking the path of thunder and lightning is against the laws of nature. How could I, who has practiced for thousands of years, be easily contaminated by such karma?
I came here today only because I have heard of your name for a long time and wanted to learn from you. I am not interested in anything else."
"If you want to learn from me, Brother Tiebi, why bother coming to my Guyang Mountain? I have something important to attend to today so it's inconvenient for me to learn from you. Brother Tiebi, just tell me a time and I will come to you in person to learn from you another day."
Hearing Li Mufeng's reply, the "Iron Wall Demon King" waved his hand and said, "Friend Li Daoist, I am here today because someone has entrusted me. It is not up to you whether you want to fight or not."
As soon as he finished speaking, the "Iron Wall Demon King" opened his mouth and spit out several streams of water that went straight to where Li Mufeng was. The water quickly turned from a small stream into a raging river, which sucked Li Mufeng and the "Black Dragon Demon King" beside him into a water prison.
Seeing this, Li Mufeng immediately controlled the magic weapon in front of him to resist the water flow beside him, wanting to rely on brute force to break out of the water prison.
However, the water released by the "Iron Wall Demon King" seemed to be no different from ordinary river water, but the flow rate was so turbulent that even the magic weapon in Li Mufeng's hand could not be opened directly for a while, and he could not help but frowned.
"Brother Tiebi, with your help today we will definitely succeed this time. I promised you in advance that I will come to your house in person to thank you someday."
Hearing the respectful words of the "Black Dragon Demon King" beside him, the "Iron Wall Demon King" nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I only promised you to contain Li Mufeng, and I will not interfere with the rest of the matter.
Whatever you want to do, do it quickly, so as not to waste time. If you can't do it, don't blame me."
"Okay then! I'll leave this to you, buddy."
The "Black Dragon Demon King" bowed in response, then immediately rushed out of the water prison through the gap specially opened by the "Iron Wall Demon King".
The "Black Dragon Demon King" who had just come out glanced at the "Guyang Peak" not far away, and saw that the sixth Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation in the sky was about to form, and a look of pride immediately appeared on his face.
This time, the "Black Dragon Demon King" came to Guyang Mountain to stop Bai Yuxian from transcending the tribulation. Not only did he win over the "Red Cloud Demon King" to come along, he also used a treasure in his hand to persuade the "Iron Wall Demon King" who had a higher level of cultivation to help.
They had spent so much effort just to prevent the birth of the second Nascent Soul cultivator in the Xiaoyao Sect. Now all the power of the Xiaoyao Sect had been tied up. All he had to do next was to kill the Bai Yuxian in front of him, and the mission would be accomplished.
Once Bai Yuxian dies in the thunder calamity, the "Xiaoyao Sect" will suffer heavy damage and it will be difficult to recover for hundreds of years. When the next beast tide comes, they still have a great chance to conquer the north of Weiguo in one fell swoop and slowly erode the territory of human cultivators.
The "Black Dragon Demon King" has already arrived above the "Guyang Peak" and is watching the thunder tribulation in the sky. Thinking of the scene of the demon clan moving south in the future, a hint of excitement appears on his face.
Because the power of the heavenly thunder tribulation is extremely great, the "Black Dragon Demon King" did not dare to attack Bai Yuxian rashly at this moment, lest he be contaminated by her aura and accidentally injured by the thunder tribulation.
The simplest way for him is to wait for the moment when the thunder tribulation falls, when Bai Yuxian is trying her best to resist the thunder tribulation, and then directly destroy the "Qiankun Armor Array" in Bai Yuxian's hand that is used to resist the thunder tribulation.
As long as the last barrier against the thunder and lightning disappears, there is no need for the "Black Dragon Demon King" to take action, and Bai Yuxian will surely be reduced to ashes under the thunder and lightning.
Just as the "Black Dragon Demon King" was standing in the distance waiting for the thunder to fall, he didn't expect that after a long time, the black clouds in the sky just kept rolling, but the expected thunder never fell.
Seeing this situation, the "Black Dragon Demon King" standing in mid-air slowly showed a hint of doubt on his face.
"This is... Oh no, this is a trick!"
Sensing something was amiss, the "Black Dragon Demon King" released a fireball with a wave of his hand, then cast a spell to disperse it into dozens of flames that shot towards his surroundings.
Soon the scenery around the "Black Dragon Demon King" changed, and he realized that he was actually still halfway to the "Guyang Peak".
At this time, the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation in the sky had already fallen, and Bai Yuxian was also controlling the formation to resist this last powerful thunder tribulation.
Upon seeing this, the "Black Dragon Demon King" immediately changed his form and revealed his true form. He then spit out a powerful black light and headed straight for where Bai Yuxian was, trying to stop the other party from resisting the thunder tribulation.
Unexpectedly, the black light was stopped halfway by a huge bronze mirror that suddenly appeared. Then, in front of the bronze mirror, a white-haired old man holding a whisk and with a bit of immortal air appeared.
"Haha! I wanted you to stop and save some energy, but I didn't expect that this little trick couldn't be hidden from you. You can't take a break now.
Those who hinder the Heavenly Dao from overcoming the tribulation will most likely suffer some karma, and will eventually have to pay for it. Daoist friends and I have all gone through the same hardship of cultivation to achieve the Nascent Soul Dao, so why bother yourself with more troubles?"
"He Laogui, it turns out that you have been hiding in the dark."
Seeing the person who suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his attack, the "Black Dragon Demon King"'s face changed instantly and he looked a little more annoyed, and his voice became a little gnashing of teeth.
Song Qingming and others who were still fighting with monsters on the battlefield not far away all showed a bit of joy on their faces when they saw the old man.
They had been guarding near "Guyang Peak" for so long that they didn't notice that there was another Nascent Soul cultivator hiding on the mountain.
Only Li Mufeng, who was fighting against the "Iron Wall Demon King", was not surprised by this. Apparently, he was the only supreme elder in the entire "Xiaoyao Sect" who knew about this a long time ago.
Song Qingming had seen this white-haired old man holding the Buddhist whisk from afar in the past. He was the supreme elder of the "Xingchen Sect" of the Wu Kingdom, He Wuyou.
He Wuyou's cultivation has reached the peak of the sixth level of the Nascent Soul, which is even higher than that of the "Black Dragon Demon King". It is no wonder that the "Black Dragon Demon King" was so angry when he saw such a powerful enemy suddenly appearing in front of him to block his way.
Seeing that the "Black Dragon Demon King" recognized him, He Wuyou nodded with a smile and said, "I haven't been out for a long time. It's rare that fellow Taoist can recognize me at a glance. It's really an honor.
I came here today to protect the Dao, so I advise you to retreat quickly and not go any further, otherwise you may not be able to escape unscathed today."
"Humph! Now that it has come to this, how can I let you get what you want today? If you want me to retreat on my own initiative, I'll see if you have the ability to do so."
Faced with He Wuyou's warning, the "Black Dragon Demon King" was not afraid of the other party. He opened his mouth again and condensed a black ball in his mouth.
"In that case, let me learn from you, fellow Taoist!"
As soon as He Wuyou finished speaking, the black ball in the mouth of "Black Dragon Demon King" had already shot out, but his target was not He Wuyou in front of him, but Bai Yuxian who was at the critical moment of tribulation not far away.
Seeing this, He Wuyou gently raised the whisk in his hand, and a huge bronze mirror appeared in the air in front of him, easily blocking the black ball that the "Black Dragon Demon King" had just launched.
Seeing this scene, the "Black Dragon Demon King" who knew that the opponent's strength was not weaker than his own had a very ugly expression on his face, but looking at Bai Yuxian who was undergoing tribulation not far away, he really didn't want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stop the enemy.
"He Laogui, I miscalculated today. I didn't expect Li Mufeng to secretly find you to help protect the way. But if you think you can stop me like this, then you are underestimating us."
The "Black Dragon Demon King" roared angrily and opened his mouth again to spit out a ball of black light. However, he did not rush to launch an attack. Instead, he gathered the black light into a round black ball and fired it towards He Wuyou's location.
Facing the Demon King's attack with accumulated strength, He Wuyou's expression became serious. He waved the whisk in his hand and suddenly flipped out three bronze mirrors in front of him, stacking them in a row to block the attack of the black ball.
However, just as He Wuyou was trying to deal with the black sphere in front of him, the huge figure of the "Black Dragon Demon King" suddenly emitted a white light and disappeared on the spot.
The next moment, the figure of the "Black Dragon Demon King" suddenly appeared in the air behind He Wuyou, had bypassed his current position, and then quickly headed straight for Bai Yuxian on the top of the mountain.
However, just as the "Black Dragon Demon King" approached Bai Yuxian's location and was about to launch an attack, He Wuyou, who had just been left behind by him, suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air.
"Shapeshifting, I didn't expect you to know this trick. I almost underestimated you."
After hearing what He Wuyou said before, the "Black Dragon Demon King" thought he had fallen into some kind of illusion again. He ignored the opponent and directly spit out a black light, but he didn't expect that it was easily blocked by the opponent again.
The "Black Dragon Demon King" realized something was wrong and turned around. He saw that there was a "He Wuyou" behind him who was resisting the black ball he had just launched. He couldn't help but show a look of shock.
"Could this be the technique of incarnation?"
The two He Wuyou looked almost identical. Although the aura they exuded seemed weaker than before, their cultivation was still above the Nascent Soul stage, and they were obviously not puppets or corpse puppets.
Putting aside these doubts, it could only be that this was a technique of incarnation that only high-level cultivators could cultivate.
"Haha! This clone of mine is just a temporary differentiation with the help of my life magic weapon. It is not some kind of incarnation technique. Daoist friend, you are praising me too much."
"He Wuyou" struggled to block the black ball, explained to the "Black Dragon Demon King" who was still full of confusion, then drilled directly into the bronze mirror in front of him, and then immediately drilled out of the mirror next to another "He Wuyou".
As the "Black Dragon Demon King" was looking surprised, the two "He Wuyou" who were also at the Nascent Soul stage immediately merged into one, and their auras were restored to their previous levels.
"I see. I didn't expect you to know this secret method of splitting spirits. I really underestimated you today." "It's just a trivial skill. Why do you praise it so much, fellow Taoist?"
Bai Yuxian, who was not far away, had already withstood most of the power of the last thunder tribulation. He threw out a fourth-level talisman that turned into a shield above his head to prepare for the remaining thunder tribulation, whose power had been weakened a lot.
For her, she has already survived 80% of the tribulation, and there is still one level 4 talisman left to resist. Basically, it is foolproof and she just needs to wait for the thunder tribulation to end.
After fighting with He Wuyou for a while, although the "Black Dragon Demon King" was unwilling to give up, he knew that his magical powers were not as good as the person in front of him. With him around, he had no chance of getting over here to stop Bai Yuxian.
After making careful plans for a long time, I still failed to make it in the end.
Realizing that his mission had failed, the "Black Dragon Demon King" looked back at the battlefield where the fighting was still going on not far away, and decisively sent out a message to retreat, then dodged backwards.
Seeing that the "Black Dragon Demon King" had retreated on his own initiative, He Wuyou did not chase after him, but stayed firmly on the "Guyang Peak", watching the direction they were going.
The demon cultivators who were fighting with the people from the "Xiaoyao Sect" here, after receiving the message of the "Molong Demon King" retreat, quickly withdrew from the battle and took the initiative to withdraw from the "Guyang Mountain" mountain protection formation.
Seeing that the enemy wanted to withdraw, the people from the "Xiaoyao Sect" wanted to step forward and fight with them, in order to force them to stay.
However, the "Black Dragon Demon King" was obviously prepared. He directly sacrificed a magic flag weapon that turned into thick black smoke to block the "Xiaoyao Sect" people who came to pursue him.
Afterwards, together with the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" and all the demon kings, they used the thick smoke to protect themselves and quickly fled to the north.
When the "Iron Wall Demon King" saw the failure of the "Black Dragon Demon King", he sighed softly, took the initiative to put away the water prison that trapped Li Mufeng, and fled to the south without looking back.
Seeing this, Li Mufeng did not choose to stop the other party. He let the "Iron Wall Demon King" leave Guyang Mountain, then flew to Song Qingming and others and stopped the people who were chasing them.
"Don't chase after desperate enemies. It's more important to guard the mountain gate. Let's go back first. There will be plenty of opportunities to settle accounts with them in the future."
Although the demon clan took the initiative to retreat at this moment, their own strength was not damaged, and it would be difficult to stop them if they rashly chose to pursue them.
For the current "Xiaoyao Sect", protecting Bai Yuxian who is undergoing the tribulation behind them is the top priority. As long as Bai Yuxian can successfully overcome the tribulation and advance to the Nascent Soul realm, these invading demon cultivators will sooner or later pay the price.
Hearing Li Mufeng's order, everyone hurriedly stopped the pursuit and responded in unison, then turned around and returned to "Guyang Peak" where Bai Yuxian was undergoing the tribulation.
This battle came and went quickly. From the appearance of the "Black Dragon Demon King" to the end of the battle, there was only less than half an hour in between.
Although both sides used all their strength at the beginning and the fight was very fierce, there were not many casualties on either side after the battle.
Most of the Jindan cultivators from the "Xiaoyao Sect" suffered only minor injuries after the war. Only Fang Baixuan and Yun Nishang, who had lower cultivation levels, were more seriously injured and needed to recuperate for a while before they could recover.
Everyone had just returned to "Guyang Peak", and Bai Yuxian's tribulation had just reached the final stage.
After using the "Qiankun Armor Formation" above his head to resist a part of the thunder tribulation, Bai Yuxian poured all of his remaining magic power into a fourth-grade low-grade talisman in his hand, turning it into a protective shield to firmly withstand the remaining thunder tribulation.
Knowing that it is not easy to survive the thunder tribulation, Li Mufeng had already prepared a lot of spiritual objects for Bai Yuxian in advance. This fourth-grade low-grade spiritual talisman was also specially given to her by him for her to survive the tribulation.
Although this talisman is not as powerful as the fourth-level "Thunder Protection Talisman" that Feng He used at the beginning in resisting thunder tribulation, it is still a fourth-level low-grade defensive talisman. The defensive capability is still there, and it should not be a big problem to resist the remaining thunder tribulation.
A moment later, as the lightning above Bai Yuxian's head slowly disappeared, the black clouds hovering in the sky above her head also quickly dissipated, revealing a very dazzling colorful glow.
Seeing a burst of nectar falling rapidly towards his position in the rosy glow, Bai Yuxian immediately took out several porcelain bottles that he had prepared long ago and collected all of the "Earth Spirit Dew" which was very rare in the world of immortal cultivation.
"Congratulations to the master for achieving the Nascent Soul Path!"
Seeing that Bai Yuxian had successfully passed the tribulation, Song Qingming and others who were not far away immediately rushed over and bowed to congratulate him in unison.
Bai Yuxian saw everyone smiling and nodded, then took out two bottles of "Earth Spirit Dew" and handed them to Xu Ziyan.
"I'll trouble you all to protect me during this tribulation. These two spiritual objects are my personal gifts. Junior Sister Xu, please exchange them for spiritual stones and share them with everyone!"
Seeing the two bottles of "Earth Spirit Dew" given by Bai Yuxian, Xu Ziyan's eyes also flashed with a gleam of light, and she quickly opened her mouth to thank him: "Haha! Thank you for the reward, Uncle Bai. Don't worry, just leave this matter to me."
In the world of immortal cultivation, if there is no nominal master-disciple inheritance between the two parties, the cultivators will address each other based on the one who has achieved greater success. Now that Bai Yuxian has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, everyone will naturally address her together with Li Mufeng from now on.
Seeing Xu Ziyan change her words first, Song Qingming and the others immediately followed suit and said in unison, "Thank you, Uncle Bai, for the reward."
Everyone had just finished expressing their gratitude when they saw Li Mufeng bringing He Wuyou to Bai Yuxian's side. They immediately stepped aside to give the three Nascent Soul cultivators space to talk.
"Congratulations to Brother Bai for joining our generation. Brother Bai has outstanding talent and will surely have a bright future!"
Hearing He Wuyou's praise, Bai Yuxian replied modestly: "Senior He, you are joking. Yuxian's cultivation aptitude is just average. How can I be regarded as having a promising future in front of you, senior?
This time I was able to successfully survive the thunder tribulation, all thanks to you who blocked the invading demon king. I will never forget your kindness in protecting me. Please accept my greetings."
After saying that, Bai Yuxian took the initiative to step forward and bowed deeply to him.
Seeing this, He Wuyou, who was holding a whisk, waved his hand and said, "Alas! Now that Fellow Daoist Bai has broken through the Nascent Soul stage, you can just treat us as your peers from now on. Don't call me senior anymore.
This time, I came here because of the request of Daoist Fellow Li. Daoist Fellow Bai, there is no need to be so polite. Besides, you and I are both human cultivators. Even if we are passing by, I cannot just sit there and watch these demon villains block my way."
Bai Yuxian nodded slightly and smiled when she heard this: "Then, Yuxian will not be polite with you, fellow Taoist."
He Wuyou nodded, then turned his attention to Li Mufeng on the side and asked directly:
“When you asked me to protect you, I thought you were worrying too much. I never expected that so many demon masters would come to stop you. Even the Iron Wall Demon King was persuaded by them.
These demon clan masters came at such a coincidence, I'm afraid there are some clues, Fellow Daoist Li, have you figured out what went wrong?"
Li Mufeng saw this and replied with a somewhat unhappy expression: "After Junior Sister retreated to condense her Nascent Soul these years, I had already issued a strict ban on the news. It is impossible for the Jinyu Mountain demon tribe to have the ability to calculate the time for Junior Sister Bai to pass the tribulation.
It is not difficult to guess that such a coincidence happened today. It was nothing more than someone deliberately leaked the news to Jin Yushan.
I know who the person is who has had grudges with my Xiaoyao Sect over the years and who least wants to see Junior Sister Bai break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Only that group of people can do such a despicable thing.
They thought that they could use the demon tribe to stop Junior Sister Daobai from breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, but they didn't know that I had already invited fellow Taoists to protect me, so they were disappointed. "
This time, Bai Yuxian was in seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Just in case, Li Mufeng had already sent a message to the State of Wu a month ago, inviting He Wuyou, a Nascent Soul master, to "Guyang Mountain" to protect him.
The relationship between the "Xiaoyao Sect" and the "Xingchen Sect" has always been good, and there has always been contact between the two sides. When He Wuyou was going through the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation, Li Mufeng's master Daoxuan Zhenren also went to the Wu Kingdom to protect him.
After receiving Li Mufeng's request, He Wuyou immediately put down what he was doing and rushed to "Guyang Mountain".
However, after He Wuyou arrived, he did not show up in public, and had been hiding in a cave near the "Guyang Peak". In the entire "Xiaoyao Sect", only Li Mufeng knew of his existence.
Before Li Mufeng invited He Wuyou to come, he had indeed heard some rumors that there were some unusual movements of the demon clan in the "Golden Feather Mountain" in the north. However, at that time he was not sure whether the "Black Dragon Demon King" and others would come to block their way. This move was nothing more than preparing an extra layer of protection for Bai Yuxian to overcome the tribulation.
Hearing Li Mufeng's answer, He Wuyou smiled and nodded, saying: "Haha! As long as you know the situation, I won't say more about it.
A few years ago, I heard that there was another monster in Taiyue Lake trying to survive the calamity, and I still don’t know whether it succeeded or not. Now the power of the monsters in Taiyue Lake is getting stronger and stronger, and the pressure we are facing in the south is also increasing.
Fortunately, now that Fellow Daoist Bai has condensed his Nascent Soul, your sect has one more Nascent Soul cultivator. From now on, the affairs of the northern demon tribe will entirely depend on the two Fellow Daoists.
I have been here for so many days, and there are still some matters that need to be dealt with in the sect, so I will not stay here for long." After saying this, He Wuyou bowed to Li Mufeng and Bai Yuxian.
Seeing this, Li Mufeng hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay, "Hey! Fellow Daoist He, you have come to Guyang Mountain with great difficulty, and we have not been able to properly perform our duties as a host. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? It won't be too late to stay for a few days before leaving."
"Haha! Fellow Daoist Bai has just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and still needs to stabilize his cultivation. Fellow Daoist Li also has a lot of things to deal with. I won't bother you any more. Let's wait for Fellow Daoist Bai to come out of seclusion, and then we can find a chance to have a good chat." (End of this chapter)
