The Mortal's Path to Immortality

In the world of immortal cultivation, the strength of individual demon cultivators is well known.

This is not only due to the strange and domineering magic skills they practice, but also because they act cruelly and directly, without any routines, making it difficult to guard against.

However, demon cultivators also have their weaknesses.

Because the skills are too strange, it is difficult to form an effective team cooperation.

Once they encounter a large-scale frontal battle, low-level cultivators often appear to be powerless and difficult to compete with other sects.

Cao Rui is naturally well aware of the characteristics and weaknesses of demon cultivators.

Therefore, he only casts his sights on several Yuanying stage masters in the three major demon sects.

These Yuanying masters will be good at fighting against the devil.

Among these masters, the most eye-catching one is the supreme elder of the Dark Moon Demon Sect - Shangyue Ling.

She is known as the well-deserved first master in Ningzhou, and her strength is unfathomable.

In the current situation in Ningzhou, the Soul Devouring Demon Sect and the Gu Poison Demon Sect can only unite to resist the strong pressure from the Dark Moon Demon Sect.

The key factor is the existence of Shangyue Ling. Her female power is so great that the entire Ningzhou cultivation world is afraid of her.

Shangyue Ling has been a powerful figure in Ningzhou for hundreds of years. There are countless legends about her, all of which are quite mysterious. One of them is that she needs ten men every day...

With curiosity about this female cultivator, Cao Rui hid in a secluded place far away from the mountain gate of the Dark Moon Demon Sect.

Then he controlled the clone of the Pure World Heavenly Venerable to flash to the mountain gate of the Dark Moon Demon Sect.

The mountain gate of the Dark Moon Demon Sect stands in a sunken valley between two high mountains.

At night, the full moon will hang high between the two mountains and fall down to the valley.

At this moment, it was late at night, and a round moon hung high in the sky, which enabled Cao Rui to better hide his figure when he performed the art of invisibility.

When he quietly approached the mountain gate of the Dark Moon Demon Sect, he was surprised to find that there was no mountain gate here.

Think about it, after all, who would have the courage to go deep into the lair of the Demon Sect filled with cruel demons?

Cao Rui quickly flashed into the mountain gate, and with a glance, he immediately noticed a tall building made of black wood and hung with red lanterns in the middle of the canyon.

This tall building looks extremely strange, like a monster with red eyeballs, standing in the canyon.

The monks in Ningzhou call it the "Dark Moon Red Building".

Surrounding this tall building, there are wooden houses scattered around the canyon in an orderly manner.

The tall building is obviously the location of the senior staff of the Dark Moon Demon Sect, and those wooden houses are the residences of the Dark Moon Demon Sect disciples.

From the staggered layout of these wooden houses, it can be seen that there is obvious mutual precaution and vigilance among the disciples of the Dark Moon Demon Sect.

Even fellow disciples are always vigilant.

This kind of mutual defense between fellow disciples makes people sigh that living in an environment like the Demon Sect is indeed easy to give birth to some "mentally ill monks".

Cao Rui turned on the puppet induction, sensed it slightly, and soon found a figure with a strong breath in the room on the first floor of the Red Mansion.

However, he was surprised to find that the breath of this figure seemed to have changed subtly.

Just when Cao Rui tried to spy on her, the other party actually keenly noticed his peeping.

Then, the consciousness of the figure quickly swept towards Cao Rui along the induction.

Cao Rui clearly felt a powerful spiritual power sweeping back and forth on his body, and finally broke through his puppet invisible body and locked him firmly.

Faced with this situation, Cao Rui simply stopped hiding and waited quietly.

Not long after, the figure of a woman quietly appeared in front of Cao Rui.

The woman was wearing a bright red long skirt, her eyes were narrow and charming, and her face was beautiful but with a bit of lazy charm.

The slit of her skirt revealed a pair of slender and white legs. This woman was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Dark Moon Demon Sect, a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage - Shang Yue Ling.

"You've been noticed by me, but you're still standing here calmly. You're really brave." Shang Yue Ling said softly.

She looked lazy, but Cao Rui could tell from her locked consciousness that she must be extremely alert at this moment.

Obviously, this sudden appearance of energy clone also caused great pressure to Shang Yue Ling.

"Still invisible? Give me a favor and show up." Shang Yue Ling frowned slightly.

She thought in her heart that the invisibility of the person who came was really terrifying. Her consciousness was strong, and she also swept back and forth several times before confirming the position of this person.

Despite this, when she was in the invisible state, she still couldn't tell the aura realm of this person.

Seeing this, Cao Rui also withdrew the puppet invisible body and appeared on the spot.

The aura of the cultivator in the God Transformation Stage was faintly dispersed, and the laziness on the face of Shang Yue Ling opposite her instantly disappeared.

Shang Yueling stood up straight, looking solemnly at the middle-aged cultivator in the God Transformation Stage who appeared.

"Senior, you are a God Transformation cultivator, but you hide your head and show your tail. Are you afraid to see people?" Shang Yueling said softly.

Cao Rui smiled slightly and said, "Elder Shang misunderstood. I didn't mean to hide my head and show my tail. I just don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."

"I am the Pure World Heavenly Venerable. I come here without asking for permission. Please don't blame me."

Shang Yueling thought to herself when she heard it, Pure World Heavenly Venerable? This name is really loud!

But if this guy is really a god-transforming monk, he is indeed qualified to use such a name.

Um? I vaguely feel the threatening aura towards me, but it’s just a clone?

Shang Yueling took a closer look and realized that the figure of Cao Rui in front of her was not real, but actually a clone!

She couldn't help but feel shocked again.

"Senior, it is my great honor to come to the Dark Moon Demon Sect! How dare I blame you?" Shang Yue Ling said with a smile.

After guessing Cao Rui's terrifying strength, she immediately changed her attitude.

"I wonder why senior came to the Dark Moon Demon Sect this time? I see that senior is very friendly. Could it be that he is a casual cultivator who lives in seclusion in the world?" Shang Yue Ling asked curiously.

Cao Rui smiled faintly and replied: "This is the first time I came to Ningzhou. Elder Shang thought it was natural for me to meet him." Hearing this, Shang Yueling was slightly startled.

She really didn't expect that the monk in front of her came from outside Ningzhou.

After all, Ningzhou has now become a Demon State, and for this reason, other state capitals have cut off all teleportation arrays related to Ningzhou, causing them to disappear completely.

As a result, Ningzhou has become a veritable isolated island in the Qingqiong Realm. Even Shang Yue Ling, the number one person in Ningzhou, cannot control any ancient teleportation array leading to the outside world.

At this time, Cao Rui continued to speak: "I came here because I heard that Elder Shang is the number one monk in Ningzhou."

Shang Yue Ling nodded, she was extremely confident in this! This is the title earned by defeating all opponents in several Nascent Soul battles!

Cao Rui then asked, "I don't know what Elder Shang thinks of the demons."

Hearing this, Shang Yueling frowned slightly and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Demons? Why is this kind of race from ancient legends suddenly mentioned?

Ningzhou lacks an ancient teleportation array to the outside world, resulting in a serious lack of information. Therefore, Shang Yue Ling and other Ningzhou monks know nothing about the invasion of the Blue Hole Demon Clan.

Looking at Shang Yue Ling's expression, Cao Rui roughly understood in his heart that Shang Yue Ling really didn't know anything about the demon clan.

After slightly nodding, Cao Rui said: "The demon clan that invaded the Qingqiong Realm this time is the Blue Cave Demon Clan... At present, Qingzhou and Yuzhou have been completely occupied... The monks of the Qingqiong Realm are in Hong Kong. The continent's frontline formed a demon-killing alliance to fight against the demons..."

Cao Rui briefly described the current situation in Qingqiong Immortal Realm.

"The purpose of my creation of Jingshi is also to fight against the demons at the right time."

"I wonder what Elder Shang thinks?"

Shang Yue Ling had a gloomy look on her face, thinking to herself that she really didn't expect that the situation in the outside world would be so chaotic now.

If the demon clan really targets Ningzhou, they will not distinguish between demon cultivators and normal cultivators. As long as they are human beings, they will all be delicious training food.

Shang Yue Ling has been a human for hundreds of years, and has the late Nascent Soul cultivation. It is not impossible to break through the transformation of gods and ascend to the spiritual world in the future. Naturally, she does not want to become a demon.

But for those ordinary demonic cultivators, the possibility of choosing to transform into demonic cultivators is extremely high.

After all, the daily behavior of these demon cultivators does not take the lives of ordinary humans seriously at all.

The targets that Cao Rui strives for are actually these high-level demon cultivators headed by Shang Yue Ling.

Shang Yue Ling remained silent and fell into thinking for a long time.

If the facts are as the Pure World Heavenly Lord said, then if the Dark Moon Demon Sect still maintains the status quo and refuses to integrate into the normal world of immortal cultivation, but continues to stay in Ningzhou with the other two demon sects, then once the demons attack, I am afraid that They will only die faster and more miserably.

This is determined by the number of basic demonic monks in the world of immortality.

Now one of the three states gathered on the front line is about to break through the defense line. Facing the demons with only the power of Ningzhou, I am afraid that it will collapse in an instant.

In a short period of time, Shang Yue Ling thought clearly about the stakes.

After Shang Yue Ling was silent for a long time, she finally spoke slowly: "Senior, in fact, the predecessor of my Dark Moon Demon Sect was not the Demon Sect."

Cao Rui asked slightly curiously: "Oh? Then why have you become a demon sect now?" His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring at Shang Yue Ling closely, as if he wanted to see a clue from her expression.

Shang Yueling gave a bitter smile, shook her head slightly, and said: "The cultivation method of my Dark Moon Demon Sect is an extremely yin method. During practice, you need to absorb the essence of the moon. However, if the essence of the moon is not used properly, it can easily The monk died suddenly. Therefore, when absorbing the essence of the moon, there must be corresponding power of the sun to offset the damage."

She paused and continued: "In ancient times, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was rich, and polar spiritual beings could be seen everywhere. At that time, I, the Dark Moon Demon Sect, did not need to rely on the power of others to practice. But as time goes by, today's The world has changed dramatically, and the polar spirits have long since disappeared. We have to find other ways to protect ourselves.”

Shang Yue Ling took a deep breath and continued: "So, we started looking for Yuanyang men and borrowed their Yuanyang power to practice."

"In the beginning, it was just a simple borrowing without any harm. But things are unpredictable and accidents will always happen. Some Yuanyang men died unfortunately. This caused the outside world to misunderstand us and regard us as an evil demon sect. . From then on, the Dark Moon Sect has been burdened with this bad reputation and cannot get rid of it."

"And now, the Dark Moon Demon Sect has long been equated with the Demon Sect."

"The disciples in the sect naturally have no choice but to regard themselves as disciples of the magic path, and when they join the sect, they mean that they are magic practitioners, so when they practice, the process of absorbing Yuan Yang is inevitably a little excessive."

Shang Yueling, as a woman, is very good at quibbling.

If Cao Rui had not known the behavior of the Dark Moon Demon Sect disciples with the divine search technique, he would probably have really believed what Shang Yueling said.

It is not just a little excessive. The men who were selected as the furnace cauldron for cultivation basically died miserably.

The Dark Moon Demon Sect disciples regarded the furnace cauldron as a toy that they could discard at any time.

Anyway, when the Yuan Yang is consumed, it has to be replaced.

Perhaps there is really a factor caused by the change of the spiritual environment of heaven and earth as Shang Yueling said, which caused the Dark Moon Sect to become the Dark Moon Demon Sect.

But now, the Dark Moon Demon Sect has completely become a demon sect from top to bottom, and there is no place for mercy.
