Chapter 712 Returning to the Immortal Cultivation World, Son of an Old Friend 20
Chapter 712 Returning to the Immortal Cultivation World, Son of an Old Friend 20
Tian Dao was silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "Okay, but besides leaving the Dragon Scale Fruit Tree, you should also leave some seeds of the several spiritual fruits you took out earlier."
Xiao Yun nodded readily, "No problem, they can eat the fruit and leave the core. As for whether it can be planted or not, I can't guarantee it."
Afterwards, she threw him an Origin Pearl with half of its Origin remaining in it, and took out two dragon scale fruit trees that had not yet borne fruit from the space. Following the guidance of Heaven, she planted them in a secret place.
After finishing all these, Xiao Yun bid farewell to Tiandao and flew back to Qin Yuanfeng.
Qin Yuanfeng looked at her excitedly, "Sister, although this thunder tribulation is strange, I feel that my strength has improved a lot! I just don't know if it will have any impact on the future..."
Xiao Yun smiled and patted his shoulder, "I've checked for you, it won't affect your future cultivation. You just need to consolidate your realm and you'll be able to make further progress soon.
Now that we've overcome the tribulation, let's go back. Your master and the others are still waiting. Let's go directly to the spirit world today. I'm not sure what it's like there, so let's take a look around first, find out what's going on, and then go to Tianxuan Sect."
Qin Yuanfeng certainly had no objection to this. He thought so too. Who knows what the current situation of Tianxuan Sect is? If he went there rashly, what if his mother's disciple was no longer in Tianxuan Sect? That would be very embarrassing.
After that, the two of them teleported back to the canyon they were in before. This time, Xiao Yun didn't need to lead them, as he could perform the teleportation technique by himself.
As soon as they appeared in the canyon, they saw a group of monks surrounding the top of the canyon. Some were flying in the air, while others were standing on magical weapons. The magical weapons were so varied that they dazzled those who were watching below.
Flying swords are the most common, flying boats and blankets are relatively common, there are also flutes, guqin and other musical instruments, fans, gourds, abacus, and even door panels and shovels.
It is really unexpected that everyone is cultivating immortality and yet they are still so simple and unpretentious.
The sudden appearance of Xiao Yun and Qin Yuanfeng scared the people above, and those with low cultivation level all retreated a long way.
Those who can perform the teleportation technique must be at least in the Nascent Soul stage or above. These minions should not be in the front, otherwise they will be killed by being used as cannon fodder by those behind.
Xiao Yun looked at the reactions of the group and couldn't help but smile and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Seeing her smile, a Jindan-stage cultivator bravely stepped forward and replied, "Two seniors, the canyon suddenly became ablaze with light just now. I believe a treasure must have appeared. We all came here to join in the fun."
Xiao Yun knew in his heart that those thousands of rays of light must be Qinglian's breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation Stage. Even with the help of the Dragon Scale Fruit and so many spiritual fruits and medicines, if Qinglian's cultivation still stagnated, then her talent would be just that.
In addition, she had just given Tiandao some original power, so that guy must have returned the favor by opening a back door and simplifying Qinglian's thunder tribulation.
Even if one has entered the ranks of high-level cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Stage, there will be natural phenomena after passing the tribulation.
Seeing that the Jindan cultivator looked decent, she replied, "There's no precious treasure here. It's just a sign that someone has survived a tribulation. You should leave quickly. There's no need to waste time here."
Upon hearing this, the monk bowed, expressed his gratitude, and flew away on his sword. However, the others were a little skeptical, but due to their low cultivation level, they did not dare to refute and just continued to wait and see.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a black robe suddenly flew out from the crowd. He looked at Xiao Yun and Qin Yuanfeng with a sinister look and said in a hoarse voice, "You two, do you really not have any valuable treasures, or do you want to send us away and keep it all for yourself?"
Xiao Yun frowned and looked the other person up and down before he said coldly, "Where did you come from?"
The man in black robe snorted coldly, "I am the lord of Black Wind City, and I am determined to obtain this treasure today. If you two insist on taking it all for yourselves, don't blame me for being rude." After saying that, demonic energy surged around him, and it was obvious that he was about to take action.
Qin Yuanfeng raised his eyebrows and was about to step forward, but Xiao Yun raised his hand to stop him.
She sneered, "With your mid-Nascent Soul cultivation, you dare to threaten us? I advise you to be sensible and leave immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
The man in black robe felt a little afraid when he saw Xiao Yun was so tough, but he was unwilling to give up.
He couldn't see her cultivation level clearly, he could only see that the male cultivator had just advanced to the early Nascent Soul stage and was definitely no match for him.
However, there are many treasures in this world of immortal cultivation that can conceal one's cultivation level and see through the cultivation level of others. The female cultivator in front of him has a young face and her eyes are not as turbid as those old monsters who have lived for many years, so he guessed that the other party is the second generation of some force. When she goes out, she uses the treasures given by her elders at home to conceal her cultivation level in order to deter villains.
The man in black robe gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try. He raised his hand and waved it, and a black demonic energy swept towards Xiao Yun!
A mocking smile appeared on Xiao Yun's lips. He was actually a demon cultivator. He waved his hand calmly, and the demonic energy that was approaching him with great momentum disappeared in an instant.
The black-robed man's face changed, and he was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that the woman's strength was so high. But he was now in a difficult situation and could only continue to attack.
He quickly formed seals with his hands, and black smoke rose behind him. The next moment, he summoned a group of demon shadows, which pounced on Xiao Yun and Qin Yuanfeng with their fangs and claws.
Just as Qin Yuanfeng was about to make a move, he saw a flash of light in front of him, and Xu Changning stood in front of them. A huge shield protected them, and the demonic shadows hit the shield and shattered.
When the demon cultivator saw Xu Changning, a master whom he knew he could not deal with, he did not dare to continue to fight him and immediately turned around and ran away.
Unfortunately, Xu Changning didn't give him this chance. He teleported in front of him and grabbed his neck. After checking his bone age, he said in surprise: "You have been reincarnated and re-cultivated?"
The demon cultivator was stunned when he heard this, stopped struggling, looked at Xu Changning carefully, and finally concluded that he did not know him.
"Senior, I have never seen you before. You must have mistaken me for someone else. I was blind to my true identity. I apologize to you all and will leave now. I beg you to spare my life."
Xu Changning didn't let him go, but carried him back to Xiao Yun and said to her, "This is the demon who attacked me. I didn't expect this guy to come to my door. I just sensed the familiar aura on him when I came here.
This is really hard to find, and it takes no effort at all to get it.
It's just that he seems to have been reincarnated and has no memory of his past life. It's not fun to seek revenge. Is there any secret method that can help him recover his past life memory?"
Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows. That was indeed a coincidence. He thought that his enemy from a thousand years ago was either in the upper spiritual world or had disappeared. He didn't expect to meet him before leaving the middle spiritual world.
If he had arrived a step later or not shown up on his own initiative, Xu Changning would have had no chance of revenge.
Xiao Yun thought for a moment and replied in a voice transmission, "Yes, there is, but the process is very painful. His soul may not be able to endure it now. He may die in the process."
A fierce glint flashed in Xu Changning's eyes. "Even if it hurts, he must remember the sins he committed in his previous life. I didn't provoke him, yet he attacked me for no apparent reason, breaking my bones into dozens of pieces. He deserves this pain, and I want him to remember so he can find my head."
Xiao Yun thought for a moment and said, "I have some soul-stabilizing pills. If I give them to her and then cast a secret spell on her, it should ensure she survives."
Xu Changning looked at her gratefully and said, "Thank you, Boss. Once you find my head, my cultivation will be further improved. Then I will use my incorruptible bones and soul to sign a contract with you and become your slave for the rest of my life.
Xiao Yun threw him a pill and replied nonchalantly, "That's not necessary. I help people based on my liking for them. If I think you're compatible, I'll help you. I don't necessarily expect anything in return."
Of course it would be better if there was a reward, she added in her mind while speaking nice words.
Xu Changning didn't say much. Things are done, and no matter how much he said, it would not be as meaningful as actually doing it.
After he gave the demon cultivator the elixir, he began to use secret techniques on him according to Xiao Yun's instructions.
The demon cultivator was force-fed an unknown elixir. When he was about to spit it out, his head suddenly began to hurt violently. His whole body couldn't help but tremble, and an expression of extreme pain appeared on his face.
Suddenly, he let out a sharp scream, his eyes turned red, and memories of his past life came flooding back. The next moment, he raised his head and looked at Xu Changning, his eyes filled with fear and regret, "It's you... I remember..."
Xu Changning first waved his hand to cast a barrier. He didn't want his identity to be known to everyone. Who knows if the current world of immortal cultivation will be even less tolerant of the art of corpse refining.
After making sure that the cultivators outside couldn't spy on the situation here, he smiled coldly at the demon cultivator and said, "Now, it's time to settle the accounts."
The demon cultivator was so frightened that he fell to his knees and crawled to Xu Changning on his knees, crying bitterly, "Senior, I was blind in my previous life and offended you, but I was not the mastermind. I was just following orders, and in the end I was silenced. If I hadn't stored half of my soul somewhere else, I wouldn't even have the chance to reincarnate!
Please, since I have already received my retribution and died once, spare my life. I am willing to tell you everything I know, including the whereabouts of your head."
Xu Changning snorted coldly, "Don't you think it's too late to say this now? But if you tell me the truth about the whereabouts of your head, I can keep your soul so that you can continue to reincarnate."
Upon hearing this, the demon cultivator nodded hurriedly. As long as his soul was immortal, he would have a chance to reincarnate and practice again.
Then he answered honestly: "I was ordered by the Western Demon King to look for the one who can't be transformed into bones. It took me several years to find you. I took advantage of your unpreparedness and attacked you successfully. Then I brought you back to the Western Demon King.
Out of curiosity, I asked about the reason. In addition to you, who cannot decay bones, someone else was ordered to find the skin of Yin Yue Jiao, the blood of Bing Luan, and the heart of Qishan Giant Ape.
Later I heard that only Bingluan's blood was found, and the other two items were not. The Western Demon King's plan was also discovered. When the demons came to the demons to ask for punishment, he destroyed the Unchanging Bone and Bingluan's blood, and killed the people who helped him find the items. I heard the news and quickly hid half of my soul outside the demon realm. This is how I got the chance to reincarnate and cultivate again..."
"So my bones were broken down by the Western Demon King? Then how do you know where my head is?"
The demon cultivator nodded repeatedly and said, "I really know. When I was asking around, I focused on the question about the incorruptible bones. I learned that after he disassembled your skeleton, part of it suddenly disappeared. The Western Demon King was worried that the skeleton would suddenly reappear and prove his guilt, so he personally threw the head into the forbidden Valley of Extinction in the Demon Realm..."
Then he talked in detail about the characteristics of the Valley of Extinction. In a nutshell, it can be summarized in one sentence: it is a valley without any energy, without any living creatures, not even grass or trees, only wasteland and stones. Any living thing thrown in there will die.
Xu Changning's face was gloomy, his fists clenched, his eyes filled with anger, "The Western Demon King... I will settle this account with him sooner or later!"
Xiao Yun patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry. Now that we know the whereabouts of the head, let's go and find it."
Qin Yuanfeng also said: "Yes, if we go to the upper spiritual world, we can go to the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm is also over there."
He didn't have any idea about the fact that Xu Changning's bones could not be transformed. In this world, various cultivation methods coexisted, and there was no such thing as someone who should not exist. Moreover, he could see that Xu Changning obeyed his sister Xiao Yun, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
The reason why one has to go to the Upper Spirit Realm to go to the Demon Realm is that although there are demon cultivation sects in the Middle Spirit Realm, one cannot enter the core of the demon clan - the Demon Realm. Only by reaching a certain level of cultivation, just like human cultivation and demon cultivation, can one go to the Upper Spirit Realm and then be recruited into the Demon Realm.
This is probably the reason why this demon cultivator came here to reincarnate and cultivate again. It is highly likely that he will not encounter acquaintances or enemies when he is weak.
Xu Changning took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. "It's been so many years anyway, there's no need to rush. The Demon Realm is dangerous, and the name of the Lost Valley doesn't sound like a good place to enter. We need to prepare in advance."
Xiao Yun nodded in agreement. "Indeed, we need to plan carefully. I've never been to the Demon Realm before, so I don't know much about it. Now that the world has undergone drastic changes, I'm even less sure about the situation inside. We need to make plans once we're there."
Xu Changning looked at her, his heart full of gratitude, and it also strengthened his determination to become her slave. There might never be another person in the world who would treat him so well.
Afterwards, he took the demon cultivator into his own space. Keeping his life was still useful and might be of use when he arrived in the Demon Realm.
After that, the barrier was lifted. Seeing that there was no movement here and the demon cultivator was gone, the cultivators above the canyon became even more wary of the three people and quickly dispersed.
The three of them returned to the formation in the valley and reunited with Qinglian and others.
