Chapter 382: Heavenly Demon Body Integration
Several days later.
Great Jin, Central Continent, Longting Lake Su Clan.
Hua Tianxiong, according to Qin Ming’s orders, personally delivered items to Su Yuqing.
He directly controlled the Golden Imperial Carriage, and landed near the Su Clan’s Sect Gate. This journey, only he came alone, without bringing any extra attendants.
When he arrived, he saw many cultivators from prominent families also waiting in front of the Main Gate.
Among these people, there were many Golden Core Elders from Great Sects, and it seemed they were all here to seek Pills from the Su Clan.
“Yo! Isn’t this President Hua?”
Among the crowd, sounds of astonishment were heard, and the nearby cultivators quickly made way.
Hua Tianxiong’s reputation used to be notorious, and with Elder Qian from the Li Fire Palace as his Backer, ordinary cultivators kept their distance.
And not long ago, it was reported that the two Elders from the Divine Dao Mountain and Old Demon Tian from the Yin Demon Sect had fallen, and it seemed to be related to him, so no one dared to provoke this Evil Star.
But now, Hua Tianxiong’s reputation, it could be said, was well-known.
“Hmm, so it’s Elder Hai from the Heavenly Craft Sect?”
“President Hua, it’s really not easy to see Master Su, this old man has been waiting here for several days.”
“And still failed to see him.”
“President Hua, I’m afraid you’re going to make a wasted trip.”
Grandmaster Su’s temperament was eccentric. Even the Elders of the Li Fire Palace wouldn’t be given face, so it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to see him.
Not to mention Hua Tianxiong, even if he was the President of the Thousand Opportunities Merchant Company, he might not necessarily be given face.
The surrounding cultivators thought this way, but they saw Hua Tianxiong take out a Message Talisman and send it out.
Only a moment later, the Su Clan’s Main Gate opened, and an old man, who looked like a Steward, walked out from inside, and glanced at the crowd.
He immediately walked to Hua Tianxiong and bowed, saying, “President Hua, my Young Master requests your presence!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the people who came to Visit were instantly dumbfounded.
No matter what, they couldn’t have imagined that Hua Tianxiong had this kind of Relationship with Grandmaster Su.
Afterwards, Hua Tianxiong raised his head, and strolled in with his belly sticking out.
In a study room of the Su Clan, he saw Su Yuqing, who was wearing white clothes.
“It’s Brother Hua, is there something from Brother Qin?”
Su Yuqing put down the Ancient Book in his hand and poured a cup of Spirit Tea for Hua Tianxiong.
Hua Tianxiong quickly handed the Jade Slip and Storage Bag to Su Yuqing, “Fellow Daoist Su, this is what Fellow Daoist Qin asked me to give to you. The situation is somewhat urgent, please take a look.”
“Oh?” Su Yuqing took the items, and immediately immersed his Divine Sense to examine the Jade Slip.
But in the next moment, his Complexion suddenly changed, and the more he saw at the end, the more unsightly it became.
“Heavenly Demon Catastrophe, Great Li Demonic Path invades Great Zhou Cultivation World.”
“Is the situation already so serious?”
“Exactly, Elder Qian of the Li Fire Palace also revealed some Intelligence to me, but it’s not as detailed as what Fellow Daoist Qin has.”
“He asked me to tell Fellow Daoist Su, the Su Clan needs to prepare in advance.”
Su Yuqing nodded with a very solemn expression, “I trouble Brother Hua to make this trip.”
“Not at all, this is what I should do.” Hua Tianxiong waved his hand.
Next, Su Yuqing opened the Storage Bag and took a look. Even though he was knowledgeable, the items inside couldn’t help but make him gasp.
In his hand appeared three emerald green dew grass-like Spirit Plants, “Fourth Rank Transformation Demon Grass!”
Others didn’t know, but as a Grandmaster Alchemist, he was very clear that this was one of the Main Ingredients for refining the Nascent Soul Pill.
Even though Qin Ming had already told him that it related to the Nascent Soul Opportunity.
His Mind was also trembling. Then he looked at the other Spirit Materials, and all of them were Auxiliary Material for refining the Nascent Soul Pill and the Ice Heart Jade Soul Pill.
Plus the previous materials that Hua Tianxiong had gathered, he also needed to collect several sets of materials for Alchemy.
When the remaining materials were gathered, it would be enough for him to refine Pills in the future.
“Thank Brother Qin for me.”
Su Yuqing then took out a Divine Wood Pill and gave it to Hua Tianxiong, “This is a small token of my goodwill.”
“This, this, how can I accept this?”
Hua Tianxiong was flattered, and accepted the Spirit Pill from the other party with a half-hearted push.
The two had a brief Communication.
After sending off Hua Tianxiong, Su Yuqing held the Intelligence Jade Slips, and without Stopping, walked toward his Old Man Su Tiannan’s room.
Hua Tianxiong, on the other hand, with a Radiant face, left the Su Clan’s Main Gate. Under the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd, he drove the Golden Imperial Carriage, and transformed into a golden light, disappearing into the Sky.

Great Zhou Cultivation World, Vimalakirti Mountain.
This Place was where the Sect Gate of “Heavenly Sound Temple,” one of the four major Powers of the Great Zhou, was located.
However, at this moment, the Vimalakirti Mountain was filled with Killing Sound, the Sect’s Defensive Formation was broken, and blood flowed like a river, and it had been surrounded by Demon Cultivators from the Yin Demon Sect.
The Buddhist Sect’s Pure Land of the past, now was like a Human Hell Asura field.
Suddenly!
In the sky near the battlefield.
Voom Voom Voom!
Ripples echoed inexplicably in the Void, then began to inexplicably wriggle and distort, as if something was about to come out of it.
Immediately after, three Crimson Light exploded, bursting out dozens of Crimson Runes from the sky, and then swirling and intertwining in the air, forming three Crimson Gates.
The shape of the Crimson Gates was like three Abyss Demon Heads, opening their mouths, Space was fluctuating, and then trembling violently.
After a while.
From the Demon Head-shaped gaping mouth of the Gate, came out three figures with powerful auras.
The three of them were wearing Crimson Masks, and dark Demon Mark blood robes, looking extremely Eerie.
The Spiritual Pressure was so strong that all the cultivators present below were terrified!
The Yin Demon Sect’s cultivators below, seeing the appearance of these three people, immediately bowed, “Pay Respects to the three Holy Messengers!”
But this Demon Cultivator seemed to be looking at nothing.
“Senior Brother Qiu, I heard that there is a Stupa on this mountain, and under it, a Blood Demon close to the Third Rank Realm is suppressed. My Natal Demon Weapon is still lacking a Demon to cultivate the Soul. Can I have it later?”
The Demon Cultivator youth on the far left, with a cultivation of Late Golden Core Realm, but he respectfully inquired of the person in the middle.
Although they were both True Disciples of the Blood Refining Demon Sect, there were also Gaps, so he spoke with a tone of asking for help.
The Demon Cultivator, who was called Senior Brother Qiu, was tall and muscular, his body covered in coarse muscles, covered with dark Demon Marks, and his cheeks and Neck were even covered with a layer of dark Scale Armor.
Under the Sunshine, they reflected a cold light.
What was even more astonishing was that under this person’s Mask, there was a pair of extremely Eerie, blood-red Vertical Pupils!
“Since Junior Brother Meng has a demand, then it’s yours.” The youth in the middle replied with an Evil Smile.
“Thank you for fulfilling my request, Senior Brother Qiu!” The Meng surname Demon Cultivator on the far left quickly said.
“Hehe! Two Senior Brothers, shall we begin?”
“I still lack some cultivators’ Flesh and Soul to cultivate my Demonic Skill.” The Demon Cultivator on the far right licked his lips and sneered, his eyes revealing a murderous gleam.
“Senior Brother Jiang Yuan and Senior Sister Lan Bing, the two Saint Son and Saintess, we can’t compete with them. They’re going to the Mysterious Clear View to Plunder Treasures. We can take some of the spoils here, hehehe!”
“After we solve this, we’ll go and merge with them.”
Among the three Demon Cultivators, they were implicitly led by the Qiu surname Demon Cultivator in the middle.
Their ‘Senior Brother Qiu’ cultivated a Body Refining Technique of the Demonic Path, ‘Heavenly Demon Body Integration Technique,’ and had once single-handedly slain a Third Rank Golden Core Realm Blood Dragon, and devoured and refined it with Demonic Skill.
It was said that this Blood Dragon was extremely powerful, comparable to the Demon Path’s Nascent Infant Realm.
It was only one last step away from the real Dragon Transformation.
But even so, he still died at the hands of Senior Brother Qiu.
From then on, his Demonic Skill made Great Progress, and he swept through all directions in the Blood Refining Demon Sect with his Physical Body.
Even when competing for the Descent Quota, his strength ranked within the top five.
Competition within the Blood Refining Demon Sect was extremely Tragic and cruel, survival of the fittest, and the three of them had all climbed out from the Sea of Corpses and Blood.
Being able to have a place in the top five of the True Disciples was enough to demonstrate their terrifying strength, and their Divine Ability.
Just then.
Two powerful auras of Golden Light flew out from the Vimalakirti Mountain, blocking the three people’s path.
The Golden Escape Light dispersed, revealing two monks with long eyebrows and white beards, wearing Kasaya.
These two were both at the Golden Core Realm.
“Amitabha! I have long heard that the Blood Refining Demon Sect’s Demonic Path sins are deep, Poor Monk is willing to lead the three of you to escape the Sea of Bitterness.”
A Kind-Hearted Zen Master, holding a Golden Zen Staff, his white Kasaya was fluttering in the wind.
“Jie Jie Jie! Old Bald Donkey, you’re still struggling even when death is imminent, I’ll let you taste the suffering of Soul Devouring later!”
The Qiu surname Demon Cultivator’s blood-red Vertical Pupils burst out with a Cold Light, causing the temperature of the entire Space to suddenly drop.
“Hmph!”
The Zen Master with the title of Abbot wielded the Zen Staff, and immediately pinched a Hand Seal, and his body shone with Golden Light, condensing a Dharma Idol behind him.
It was a Vajra with Furious Eyes holding a Pestle, and the Golden Phantom was dozens of Zhang high!
The Vajra’s Pestle, with Treasure Light Blooming, instantly erupted with a power that could Destroy the Heavens and Earth, and smashed towards the three Demon Cultivators!
Boom! Crack!
In that instant, with one Strike, Heaven and Earth changed color!
But the Qiu surname Demon Cultivator in the middle, seeing this kind of powerful Divine Ability, a hint of Mockery appeared at the corner of his Mouth.
Only to see his Figure blurred, and disappeared in place.
Suddenly.
In the Void, Demonic Qi surged into the sky, and a pitch black Demonic Dragon, a Hundred Zhang long, appeared, with its body covered in black Scale Armor, horns on its head, and in its Gloomy eyes, a pair of blood-red Vertical Pupils suddenly opened!
Boom!
Bang!
The Golden Pestle heavily bombarded the black Demon Flood Dragon.
The entire Space Trembled, and an Explosion erupted with a violent Collision, and then the Shockwave in Mid-air spread outward.
With the Crushing force, it instantly annihilated the Low-Level Cultivators below who were battling.
Some Yin Demon Sect disciples who couldn’t Dodge in time, under this Aftermath, didn’t have time to Escape, and were bombed into Powder.
But as the dazzling Golden Light in the air dissipated, the black Demon Flood Dragon’s body Scale Armor flashed, but it was completely unharmed.
“Ah? This”
“How is it possible?!”
Even the Heavenly Sound Zen Master not far away, his face showed an expression of disbelief.
But before he could React.
In the next moment.
The black Demonic Dragon opened its incredibly sharp, pitch black Dragon Claw, and with just one Strike, it instantly penetrated the Vajra Dharma Idol in front, and then directly grabbed the Monk’s body in front of it, and crushed it, turning it into a mass of blood mist.
Then the Demon Flood Dragon’s huge mouth opened, and it swallowed the Heavenly Sound Zen Master, including the person and the Golden Core, into its mouth.
“Heavens! Even the Abbot Elder has Fallen!”
“Run~”
For a time, those cultivators were Completely Flustered, and began to Escape in a panic.
However.
Before they could Escape out of the mountain, the other two Demon Cultivators of the Blood Refining Demon Sect, began to take out their respective Demon Weapons, and greatly Harvested the lives of the Great Zhou Cultivators.
Such scenes were constantly being played out within the Great Zhou Cultivation World.
โฆโฆ
Time passed, and several more months went by.
In the Spirit Field of Five Elements Mountain.
Qin Ming held the Shennong Hoe, and was cultivating the ten Mu of Tianluo Grass in the Spirit Field.
But then.
He saw Old Jia from the Mirror Snow Pavilion, rushing from outside the Spirit Field, panting, and reported to Qin Ming:
“Shopkeeper Lu, indeed, as you predicted!”
“Today, there’s a major News, the Great Zhou Cultivation World is being invaded by the Great Li Demonic Path, and the War has only been going on for a few months, and it’s on the verge of a full-scale Collapse situation.”
“Fortunately, you reminded us early on, and we severed our commercial Relations with that side in time, otherwise, the Loss would be incalculable.”
The invasion of the Great Li Demonic Path, obviously, finally reached the Great Jin Cultivation World, and even the Lingxu Marketplace received the News.
Qin Ming saw that Old Jia was in a state of shock, and knew that the situation in Great Zhou had reached a point where it was beyond repair.
He put down the Shennong Hoe, “Then what kind of News are circulating now?”
“Uh, this subordinate only heard that the situation in Great Zhou is not optimistic, and it’s presenting a one-sided News, and those Demon Sect disciples are engaged in mass Slaughter, and countless Refugees are pouring into the Border.”
“That’s how the News was spread to the Great Jin.”
“Hmm, you don’t need to Panic, these Demon Path will not reach here for the time being, Great Jin is at least safe within a few decades. Even if the Great Li Demonic Path takes Great Zhou, it will take a certain amount of Time.” Qin Ming pondered slightly, and then comforted Old Jia.
“You can focus on managing the Shop, and I will tell you if there is any situation.”
“Yes! Shopkeeper!”
Now, ‘Shopkeeper Lu’ was the Pillar of Stability in Great Jin for the Mirror Snow Pavilion!
โฆโฆ
Qin Ming’s eyes flashed, in fact, these days, he had asked Hua Tianxiong to send people to Inquire without interruption.
He almost had Real-time Control of the latest Intelligence from Great Zhou.
After hearing Old Jia’s Report, he contacted Hua Tianxiong through a Black Talisman.
“Hua Tianxiong, what’s the situation over there in Great Zhou now?”
Hua Tianxiong was driving the Golden Imperial Carriage, and he had just come out from Elder Qian of the Li Fire Palace, and was rushing back to the Myriad Dao Merchant Alliance.
Suddenly, Qin Ming’s voice sounded in his Mind, and immediately his entire person shivered.
“Reporting to Master, I was just about to tell you.”
“Great Zhou. It’s not far from Destruction.”
“Now, it’s just a matter of Time.”
“Hmm? How can it be so fast? It hasn’t even been a year yet.” Qin Ming said in surprise.
“This time, the Great Li Demonic Path came with great force, and coupled with the Heavenly Demon Catastrophe, Master Cold Crow of the Mysterious Clear View, who controls the Great Zhou Cultivation World, along with his core disciples, fled without a fight.”
“And also abandoned the outer Low-Level Disciples, attracting the Demon Cultivators’ Attention, and treating them all as Cannon Fodder.”
“Ah? This” Qin Ming was speechless when he heard this News.
Thinking of Master Cold Crow, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, who was so decisive and shameless!
“Sigh~ It is said that Great Zhou is truly in dire straits now. Usually, when nothing happened, the Mysterious Clear View enjoyed various Offerings and Taxes paid by the forces below.”
“Now that a Great Calamity has occurred, Master Cold Crow was the First to run away with his underlings.”
Qin Ming: “.”
Hua Tianxiong also sighed and said, “The Li Fire Palace and the Myriad Dao Merchant Alliance, together with the various Powers within Great Zhou and the Great Jin forces, established the ‘Defenders of the Dao Alliance,’ and were preparing to Support Great Zhou, and resist the Demonic Path together.”
“But before they could send troops, the Mysterious Clear View had already run away without a trace.”
“Without the leadership of a Nascent Soul Sect in the fight, those forces under the Great Zhou Cultivation World, also had no intention of struggling against the Demonic Path. The People’s Hearts, which had just been Condensed, instantly scattered. Sigh!”
After Qin Ming finished listening to Hua Tianxiong’s Report, he Pursed Lips and couldn’t help but Mutter: This Cold Crow old man is really ruthless!
“Hmm, you’ve done well. Keep Inquiring and Report!” He instructed Hua Tianxiong.
Qin Ming then went through the Underground Tunnel dug by the Heaven Devouring Rat, and took a look at the entrance of the Secret Realm controlled by the Divine Dao Mountain.
He found that the Growth Progress of the Seven Wonderful Treasure Tree was still slow, and it was still too early for the Blooming opportunity.
This also made him breathe a sigh of relief.
At least, the Great Jin Cultivation World would not be involved in this War so early.
When this Seven Wonderful Treasure Tree Blooms, it is estimated to be the time when the Three Nations will have an unprecedented Great Battle.
By Then, even those Blood Refining Demon Sect disciples who had descended through the Descent, would gather together.
‘Hmm, by then, the materials needed for refining the Nascent Soul Pill will also be almost collected, and I will Slip Away and return to the Southern Wilderness to Prepare for the Great Nascent Soul event.’
‘It has nothing to do with me if things get chaotic here.’
Qin Ming had always kept his distance from the Conflicts in the Cultivation World.
Even if there was a great Temptation in the Ancient Secret Realm, it would not shake his Dao Heart.
