"Hahaha, it feels so good, Master. This monster's way of practicing is too direct. It can become stronger just by eating. I think the power of my monster body may exceed that of a human body." After Ye Liuyun devoured several monsters in succession, he felt that his cultivation level was improving at a speed seen by the naked eye.
But Lin Qingyou's next words forced Ye Liuyun to think deeply.
"It's not just the demon race. In fact, humans' cultivation method also relies on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as well as rare treasures that contain energy. In the eyes of humans, only living things can be considered life, but in fact, flowers, plants and trees are all spiritual, it's just that the way they present their lives is not recognized." Lin Qingyou said.
Lin Qingyou is a fairy, she is not a human. From the perspective of fairies, the creatures in the lower world can basically be said to be equal, with no distinction between high and low.
Isn't it true that the elixir that humans can't do without in order to practice is to plunder the lives of monsters, flowers, plants and trees to strengthen themselves? So there is no difference in essence.
Whether in the world of cultivation or in the secular world, wild beasts in the mountains come down to eat people, and people hunt and eat meat. This is the cycle of life.
So why should we honestly say that humans and demons cannot coexist? Because the reality is there. Not to mention humans and demons, even humans and demons, aren't they cannibalizing each other?
In fact, the demon clan is just a general name, and it is defined by humans. Originally, there was no such thing as the demon clan, there were only the wolf clan, tiger clan and so on.
The differences between these races are no different from the differences between people. It seems that because of the rise of the human race in ancient times, these races had to unite and form a collective, which is why they were called the demon race.
Ye Liuyun devoured all the monsters along the way. As long as she noticed the monsters, basically no one could escape from her palm. There was no need to worry about eating all the monsters here, because Ye Liuyun only ate those at the Dao Palace realm.
The little monsters in the Wheel Sea Realm are of no use. After eating a Dao Palace, another one will be born soon after she leaves here.
Ye Liuyun came by again and took a peek at the camp. Many of the humans inside had already begun to wake up.
"It's that damn guy who is undergoing the tribulation. When I find him, I will skin him alive. He is undergoing the tribulation himself and taking so many of us with him." Some cultivators in the Dao Palace realm asked angrily.
When a cultivator in the Dao Palace's Foundation Establishment Stage breaks through to the Core Formation Stage, it will trigger a thunder disaster. If there are other cultivators within the range covered by the thunderclouds, these cultivators will also be forced to withstand the attack of the thunder.
That's why they feel that someone is going through a tribulation.
"Haha, you're killing me with laughter. I'm letting you experience the tribulation. Generally speaking, after you've experienced the heavenly thunder that I summoned, your ability to withstand the tribulation will increase a lot. So thank me." Ye Liuyun said happily inwardly.
After she finished speaking, she turned back into a white python again and continued to move towards Tianduan Ridge. She was not in a hurry. After all, she had a hundred-year agreement with the Yun Sect, and a hundred years was still a long time.
A week later, at the edge of the Nanhuang Mountains in Tianduanling, five powerful Yuanshen monks were seen chasing a girl in a flowing white dress in the mountains.
Wherever they went, mountains, rivers and forests were reduced to ruins under the powerful pressure of these people.
Some unlucky humans and monsters were vaporized upon encountering each other, leaving nothing behind. Ice Dragon King, you can't escape today, so give up.
As long as you stop resisting and agree to become the guardian beast of our Kaiyang Shenxiao Sect, we will spare your life.
An old man wearing a golden robe with a sun pattern spoke to the fleeing woman in front.
The woman in front was filled with cold air, and wherever she went, everything was frozen. Although this woman looked no different from a human being and did not even have any demonic aura,
But in fact, this woman is the Demon King of East Wasteland, the Ice Snake King, and also the strongest of the East Wasteland demon clan. She is half a step into the Nirvana secret realm, and her realm is even stronger than that of the Black Tiger Demon King.
This Ice Snake King is very interesting. She changes her name to Long Lingyun and sneaks into the human world of Donghuang to learn human methods.
Not long ago, she was about to pass the Nirvana tribulation and enter the realm of Demon Saint, but who would have known that the Kaiyang Shenxiao Sect, the strongest sect in the East Barren, got to know from somewhere that she was going to pass the tribulation, and actually joined forces with strong men from several major sects in the East Barren to surround and kill her.
The rebirth of monsters is different from that of humans, they need to be reborn and their bloodlines evolve. The next step for the Ice Snake King is naturally to evolve into an Ice Dragon. This process is very painful, and it is also the time when she is weakest.
Her combat capability was probably less than half of her peak period, only 30% at most. However, she was strong enough to withstand the attacks of five ninth-level Yuanshen cultivators and escape from the encirclement.
But he was also seriously injured and forced to stop transcending the tribulation. It is not certain whether he will have another chance to achieve nirvana.
Of course, looking at the current situation, let alone achieving Nirvana again, it is even a question whether one can escape.
"Damn it, I have to escape. That's the Nanling area ahead, right? The Nanling cultivation world is the territory of the Supreme Induction Sect. They shouldn't dare to force their way in." Long Lingyun muttered as he looked at the towering mountains ahead.
She had no choice but to take a gamble, otherwise she might really be captured alive.
After weighing the pros and cons, Long Lingyun accelerated and flew over as he couldn't do so much.
"Eh? What does this witch want to do? She wants to escape into the Nanling territory. Is she crazy? Isn't she afraid that the Nanling Demon King will attack her? Wouldn't she die faster then?" The strong man from Kaiyang Shenxiao Sect's face changed.
They could no longer stop Long Lingyun from using the snake clan's life-saving method the moment he crossed the Nanling territory.
"Division of snakes." After Long Lingyun silently muttered in his heart, his body suddenly exploded and turned into countless white lights, shooting towards various places in Nanling.
The five powerful Yuanshen were helpless for a moment and were forced to stop the pursuit. They could not trespass into the Nanling territory.
Even though they are all human, the relationship between the Tai Shang Ganying Sect and the Kaiyang Shenxiao Sect is not very good. If one rushes in rashly, it is very likely to trigger a confrontation between the two major regional cultivation sects.
When the time comes and the Jiutian Holy Land blames us, it will definitely be the responsibility of the Kaiyang Shenxiao Sect.
“Damn it, this witch is really trying her best. She has used the snake clan’s innate abilities twice in a row. Now she only has one third of her essence left at most. Even if she can survive, her strength must be greatly damaged, and there will be no possibility for her to break through to the Demon Saint level.” The five people said as they stood at the junction of Nanling Mountains and Donghuang.
"Lord Kaiyang, can't you contact the Supreme Induction Sect and ask them to help capture this evil woman?" asked another powerful Yuanshen.
Kaiyang God is a title, and it is the title of the leader of Kaiyang Shenxiao Sect.
"Do you think I'm stupid? We let the Supreme Sense Sect take advantage of this. We spent so much effort to force this witch out of the East Wilderness and severely injured her. If we tell the Supreme Sense Sect, they will definitely come out in full force to look for this witch. Once they find this witch, how much benefit will they get?" Kaiyang God reminded.
This reminded the other five people. Indeed, maybe killing the Ice Snake King completely would be a good thing for them in the Eastern Wilderness, but the problem was that if the Supreme Sense Religion only captured it but did not kill it, then it would not be of any benefit to them.
After saying this, several people gave up the pursuit.
As for Long Lingyun, she couldn't care too much about her. Her consciousness was very heavy and she was about to fall asleep. She just found a hidden cave and crawled in. As for where this place was, she didn't have time to think about it.
As for the Black Tiger Demon King, she was the first to sense a powerful aura entering their Nanling territory, but when she reacted and arrived at the junction of Nanling and Donghuang, she found that the aura had completely disappeared.
"Could it be that a strong man has come from the East Wilderness? This shouldn't be possible. If a strong man has crossed the border, I should be able to detect it." The Black Tiger Demon King was a little confused.
After thinking about it, he went back.
Let’s talk about Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun finally arrived at the outer area of Tianduanling. After coming here, there was basically no trace of human habitation. It was pure primeval forest and primeval mountains.
There were fewer and fewer cultivators along the way. Even if we met some, they were at least cultivators who had reached the Dao Palace Nascent Soul stage or above. Even cultivators from the Four Extreme Secret Realms were not uncommon.
However, it is very rare, and you may not be able to sense the presence of many human monks in a day.
Ye Liuyun's demon body is very useful. She hardly encountered any trouble along the way, and anyone who caused trouble was dealt with by her.
However, the road ahead is not always smooth. Once you reach Tianduanling, even if you don’t have to face the threat from humans, you will still have to face the threat from powerful monsters.
As soon as Ye Liuyun arrived at an open area, he heard a loud cry from above his head. The sound was very harsh and was obviously directed at Ye Liuyun.
"Eh?" Ye Liuyun quickly raised his head and looked towards the sky, and saw a huge black bird swooping down.
"Damn?" Ye Liuyun cursed inwardly, then changed back into human form and struck out with his palm, which just collided with the black bird.
The black bird flew backwards and turned into a female monster wearing black clothes, with wings and eagle claws.
"What? Why did you suddenly attack me?" Ye Liuyun asked with dissatisfaction.
"Hmph! You snake guy, you've broken into my territory. Since you're here, you'd better be my food." The bird demon said coldly, and then attacked Ye Liuyun again.
This guy is very fast. After all, he is a flying monster. Most flying monsters have wind attributes and are good at speed.
Moreover, birds are a species that can restrain snakes, so they can be considered natural enemies.
Tianduanling is the kingdom of the demons. The demon civilization here is basically one of the survival of the fittest and is quite primitive. Even though the Black Tiger Demon King wants to reform, the progress is very slow.
"Who are you looking down on? Do you think you can beat me just because you are a little higher than me? What a joke." Ye Liuyun snorted coldly, and instead of retreating, he advanced and confronted this guy head-on.
This bird monster is a demon beast in the late stage of the Taoist Palace. Theoretically, it must be more powerful than Ye Liuyun, but unfortunately, Ye Liuyun is not an ordinary monster.
"You are just a snake demon, but you dare to confront my eagle clan head-on? You must be out of your mind." The bird demon used its sharp claws to claw at Ye Liuyun's snake body.
Under normal circumstances, the snake body of the snake clan would definitely not be able to withstand the claws of the raptor clan, but what the bird demon did not expect was that her claws landed on Ye Liuyun's body, and sparks flew everywhere, and she was completely unable to break through Ye Liuyun's defense.
Ye Liuyun sneered and took the opportunity to roll this guy up. His powerful physical strength made the bird demon unable to resist.
"Impossible? How can your body be so strong?" The bird demon was confused.
Her advantages had no effect on Ye Liuyun, and her realm was unable to suppress him either. This was too outrageous.
The snake monsters she had seen before, those at the same realm as her, would run away when they saw her, let alone those at a lower realm.
"Let me go. I warn you, I am a member of the Black Hawk clan. If you dare to kill me, you will suffer severe revenge from our Black Hawk clan." The bird demon shouted while struggling.
This guy didn't play to his strengths and fight in the sky, but actually ran down to fight Ye Liuyun in close combat on the ground. He was just seeking death.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. It happens that this is my first time here in Tianduanling. I don't understand the situation here, so I have to trouble you." There was an extra pill in Ye Liuyun's hand. It was a blood-red pill.
Ye Liuyun took out the pill and injected his demonic energy into it, then forced it into the mouth of the bird demon.
"Ugh! What is this? Damn, human's elixir, why do you have human's elixir?" The bird monster wanted to spit out the elixir she had swallowed. She instinctively felt that this elixir was not a good thing.
"Don't worry, it's something that makes you obedient." Ye Liuyun laughed strangely, and the next moment, the bird demon let out a painful howl because her soul was being entangled by the power of Ye Liuyun's elixir.
In less than a moment, a snake-shaped pattern appeared on her soul stone, which meant that she was enslaved by Ye Liuyun.
As its soul was enslaved, the bird demon gradually calmed down and stopped shouting and struggling.
Her eyes were lifeless and she didn't move at all, even when Ye Liuyun put her down.
"Okay, from today on, I am your master. Tell me where this place is. I'm talking about the distribution of the demon clan in Tianduanling." Ye Liuyun asked lightly.
As soon as Ye Liuyun opened his mouth, the bird demon's eyes immediately became lively, but the look in his eyes changed from ferocious to well-behaved.
"Yes, my master, this is the southern area of Tianduanling. It is the territory of the Eagle Clan of Tianduanling. The Eagle Clan is one of the ten major clans in Tianduanling..." The bird monster told Ye Liuyun everything he knew.
Ye Liuyun also learned the direction to the East Wilderness from her, but that area was the territory of the wolf clan. Any foreign monsters or humans who dared to go there would basically be attacked by them.
They only allow ordinary wild animals to pass through because they also need food.
There are also many cultivators in that area, but most of them are from the Eastern Wilderness, not from Nanling.
There is no complete ban on the exchanges between the two sides, but there are strict restrictions on the level of cultivation. Once a cultivator at the Yuanshen level crosses the line, it is equivalent to a provocation. Exchanges between cultivators below the Yuanshen level are not prohibited.
After Ye Liuyun learned about the situation here, he did not move forward, but said to the bird monster.
"Go patrol the sky. If there is any danger, tell me. I want to rest here." After listening to this, Ye Liuyun let the bird monster go on guard.
Ye Liuyun is currently beside a stream, and she plans to find a place to rest nearby.
But at the same time, Bai Lin and the others were released. It was time to let them get some fresh air.
"Oh, we're finally out. What a comfortable place this is." As soon as Liusu and the others came out, they were attracted by the spiritual energy here.
Bai Lin and Jin Chen also immediately became active.
"Tianduanling, this place should be regarded as the area with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire Nanling Mountains. It is simply a paradise for the monsters. You can play around as you like, but don't run too far." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
Chapter 410: Taixu Trial (4500 words + 2200 monthly tickets plus more)
After Bai Lin and the others heard Ye Liuyun's words, they immediately shouted with joy.
I have basically been staying in the small place of Bixia Valley over the years and have been unable to experience the joy of freedom.
To be honest, the two of them suddenly regretted following Ye Liuyun. If they had known earlier, they would have stayed in the Demon King's Tomb and felt more comfortable.
Moreover, they both felt that their father had forgotten them. It had been almost a hundred years, and their father had never come to see them.
Ye Liuyun looked at them running around and laughed.
He came to the stream and placed his lower body into the stream, letting the water wash over his body.
"Oh... It's so comfortable. Coming to Tianduan Ridge, I feel like my body and mind are liberated. This is the taste of freedom." Ye Liuyun sighed.
At the same time, she was also thinking about a question, whether it was necessary for her to let Bai Lin and Jin Chen be free for a period of time. After all, it seemed that there was not much use for them to stay by her side all the time.
At the same time, on Lin Aoxue's side, the Taixu Trial of the Taishang Ganying Sect finally began.
On this day, all disciples of the Tai Shang Ganying Sect who met the requirements gathered at the gate of the Taixu Mystical Realm.
From a distance, Taixu Mountain looks like an ordinary hill, only a few hundred meters high. It has no special features in the Tiandao Mountains and can even be said to be an inconspicuous hill.
But this inconspicuous hill is the forbidden area of the Supreme Induction Sect. It is surrounded by layers of magic arrays and guarded by many Yuanshen monks.
There is a large platform in front of the entrance. The platform is completely carved out of a whole piece of stone. It is very simple and elegant.
Not long after, a figure fell from the sky and landed at the gate of Taixu Secret Realm. This was an elder from Tiandao Peak who was at the fifth level of the Yuanshen realm.
The elder glanced around. If you look carefully, you can find that there are actually many people standing on the peaks around Taixu Mountain.
These people are all contestants who come to participate in the Taixu Trial.
"The Taishang Ganying Sect's once-a-century Taixu Trial is now officially beginning. Monks from the 108 peaks who meet the trial requirements are invited to enter the venue and prepare to participate," the elder announced calmly.
As soon as the words fell, human figures gathered from all directions like a meteor shower and landed on the platform in front of the Taixu Secret Realm.
These are young heroes with different temperaments. The patterns and colors of their clothes are different, representing different factions.
The 108 factions of the Supreme Induction Sect are equivalent to 108 medium-sized sects. With so many factions, one can imagine how intense and exciting every activity within the sect is.
The first ones to come on stage were the core disciples of the major factions. Their cultivation base was at least at the Dao Palace Out-of-Body Realm, or half-step to the Four Poles. However, there were also a small number of cultivators from the Four Poles Secret Realm.
There are quite a lot of core disciples in each peak. In less than a while, the platform is fully occupied. With so many core disciples, it is obvious how many disciples the Tai Shang Ganying Sect has.
At the last Nanling event, because there were too many participants, the disciples of those factions basically stayed in their own mountains and did not come out.
Each of these disciples had an expectant expression on their face; today might be the day they could turn things around.
