Chapter 459: Zhiyang, Secret

Inside the Dragon Abyss Great Hall.

Qin Ming and Master Cold Crow walked to a position beside True Lord Longmu of the Penglai Sect.

“Fellow Daoist Qin, Fellow Daoist Han Ya, you’re here.”

“Daoist Longmu.”

“Fellow Daoist Chen.”

True Lord Longmu and Chen Muzhi rose from their seats and greeted the two of them.

As soon as Qin Ming entered, more than twenty gazes in the hall fell upon him, which made him feel a bit uncomfortable, although no divine sense was used to probe him.

Immediately afterward, two familiar Nascent Soul Cultivators walked in.

As soon as these two entered the hall, they went directly in the direction of Qin Ming.

“Fellow Daoist Xia.”

“Fellow Daoist Long Yangzi.”

Qin Ming also stood up and greeted them with a smile. By the way, he also introduced, “This is Qin’s friend of many years, Master Cold Crow of the Mysterious Clear View in the Great Zhou Cultivation World.”

‘Friend of many years.’ Master Cold Crow’s face couldn’t help but twitch upon hearing this.

Immediately, Master Cold Crow could only stand up and greet the two of them.

However, after learning that the two in front of him were Elders of the Heavenly Sea Alliance, and also the two City Lords of Tianlan Immortal City, Master Cold Crow almost couldn’t sit still.

He couldn’t help but secretly transmit his voice to Qin Ming, and then said with a bitter smile:

“Fellow Daoist Qin is indeed well-connected, even the friends of the Heavenly Sea Alliance know.”

Afterwards.

All the Nascent Soul Fellow Daoists in the hall were secretly observing the situation.

Qin Ming discovered that among the cultivators present, a few inconspicuous Nascent Soul Free Cultivators had also emerged, who were estimated to be hard cultivators who had been hiding in famous rivers and great lakes for many years.

Among them, there was a Nascent Soul Old Man dressed like a fisherman, and he even came in wearing a straw raincoat, unkempt.

The Nascent Soul Old Monsters present, some were of immortal-like demeanor, some had white hair and childlike faces, with solemn appearance, and there were also those who had a simple and unadorned style, wearing coarse cloth and hemp clothes.

Seeing that the person in charge of the trade fair had not yet come in.

Qin Ming also communicated with several Fellow Daoists around him, discussing their experience in cultivation, talking about immortals and discussing the Dao, speaking of the profound and the marvelous.

Not long after.

Inside the Dragon Abyss Great Hall, a group of female cultivators, regardless of their appearance and figure, all of whom were peerless, walked in one after another, wearing feather robes, accompanied by celestial music, dancing and entertaining.

Then.

Various fine dishes and spirit brews were placed on the jade tables, for the Nascent Soul True Lords present to enjoy.

The Heaven Devouring Rat squatted on the jade table in front of Qin Ming, holding a peach in one hand and gnawing on it, and holding a wine cup as big as it in the other hand, looked at the immortal fairies singing and dancing in the arena, and said with a beaming face:

“Keep dancing, keep enjoying~”

……

……

After a while.

Just as Qin Ming was communicating with a few Fellow Daoists.

Several more people walked in from outside the hall.

Qin Ming also recognized some of them.

These people all exuded a vast demon power, and they were from the Sea Race of the East Sea Cultivation World.

The leader was Third Prince Xuanxiao of the East Sea Dragon Palace, whom Qin Ming had met a day before.

Behind him were the father and son of Ao’bie Island, as well as two unfamiliar Demon Cultivators.

Prince Xuanxiao had a pair of golden vertical pupils dragon eyes, showing his noble Ancient True Spirit Bloodline.

The moment they appeared, the Nascent Soul Old Monsters present also looked sideways, not daring to underestimate these characters.

Prince Xuanxiao also cast a gaze at Qin Ming’s side and smiled slightly as a gesture.

True Lord Longmu and Master Cold Crow, and others next to Qin Ming, seeing this situation, couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts!

“Could it be that Fellow Daoist Qin actually knows people from the East Sea Dragon Palace?” Master Cold Crow was already numb, but he couldn’t help but ask.

Qin Ming just smiled faintly and said, “I can’t say I know them, I just met them on Dragon Abyss Island, speaking of which… it was just before I met Fellow Daoist Cold Crow.”

Even though he explained it like this, the other Fellow Daoists still didn’t quite believe it.

Even True Lord Longmu sighed and said, “I heard that Fellow Daoist Qin is kind and likes to cultivate good karma, it seems to be true.”

Qin Ming was full of emotion. It was estimated that this kind of scene of Human Race and Sea Race High-Level Cultivators gathering together had only happened once in a thousand years.

On weekdays, it was either the Human Race taking Sea Race beast cores for cultivation, or the Demon Cultivators taking Human Race Nascent Souls for nourishment, which could be said to be a constant cycle of killing.

Such a peaceful situation was not easily seen.

‘I don’t know which Great Being proposed ‘Immortal Mansion Grand Gathering’ to promote the opportunity for the two races to communicate.’

‘It’s rare to cease war and stop killing for a thousand years.’

Qin Ming was thinking, and the fairies in the center of the hall’s dance floor all retreated.

Suddenly.

He sensed an extremely powerful spiritual pressure aura coming from outside Dragon Abyss Island.

The next moment.

Ripples rippled in the hall, and before everyone could react, a tall middle-aged figure appeared silently in the Dragon Abyss Hall.

This person was wearing a black robe, had a square face, and looked dignified and imposing, with the appearance of a worldly emperor.

The spiritual pressure of his Mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivation realm couldn’t help but make everyone present change their faces!

“Fellow Daoist Qin, this is the Seventh Elder of the Star Palace, Daoist Zhiyang, with a peak Mid-Nascent Soul cultivation, only one step away from breaking through to a Late-Stage Great Cultivator.”

“This Immortal Mansion Grand Gathering is also jointly hosted by Daoist Zhiyang and the people of the East Sea Dragon Palace.”

Xia Yuangong secretly transmitted his voice to Qin Ming to introduce.

Qin Ming nodded secretly, and there was a bit more of a look in his eyes at this person.

‘It’s also okay, there are still four hundred and fifty years of lifespan left.’

After Daoist Zhiyang arrived, the atmosphere within the hall became quiet.

“Welcome Fellow Daoists who have come from afar to participate in this Immortal Mansion Grand Gathering.”

“Besides the communication between the Nascent Soul Fellow Daoists, this Seat will not say much polite words to you all.”

“Instead, there is another major event that I want to discuss with the Fellow Daoists present, that is, to jointly deal with the Descent Invasion of the Bloodbound Realm.”

“According to reliable intelligence, the Bloodbound Realm that is invading this time originated from the Ancient Great Realm—‘Demon Realm’. If this realm is completely occupied and polluted, I’m afraid that the Human Realm, like other small realms, will be completely reduced to a plane providing blood food and will be assimilated into the Demonic Path.”

“Demon Realm?!”

Everyone in the hall was in an uproar: “It actually involves the Ancient Demon Realm?”

“So the legend is actually true, I once saw it on an inscription in a Secret Realm, this Bloodbound Realm was originally a peaceful small realm of the Buddhist gate, and there were not so many Demonic Sects.”

“However, during an accident, it was polluted by the ‘True Demon Qi’ released by the Demon Realm, and the path of cultivation took a different approach, which was bloody and brutal, and the Bloodbound Realm intersected with the Human Realm, which is the beginning of the Demonic Path in the Human Realm.”

“True Demon Qi!!” Qin Ming couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart upon hearing this.

Isn’t this bad?

In order to break through to the Nascent Soul, he had combined a wisp of True Demon Qi with his Physical Body Golden Core, and cultivated it into a Demon Infant.

He had also initially refined the Yuan Cha’s True Demon Body.

He didn’t expect that the True Demon Qi would have such a great background and would also have an origin with the Ancient Demon Realm.

Thinking of this.

Qin Ming immediately secretly questioned Qingyang Old Demon in the Blood Pagoda:

“Old Ghost, did you know about this long ago?”

Qingyang Old Demon, however, shrugged indifferently: “This Old Man originally cultivated the Demonic Path, and this True Demon Qi is something that our cultivators cannot ask for, what’s so surprising about this?”

“Let alone the Bloodbound Realm, even the real Demon Realm is an extremely rare existence.”

“That little True Demon Qi of yours doesn’t even count as a scratch, it just helps you condense your body further and initially touch the threshold of Yuan Cha’s True Demon Body, you are not even considered to have entered the door, there are tens of thousands of miles apart, so don’t worry too much.”

“Aren’t you also not polluted by the demonic qi, and you are living well?”

In the end, Qingyang Old Demon couldn’t help but complain.

Qin Ming felt a little relieved upon hearing this.

But what Qingyang Old Demon didn’t know was that his wisp of True Demon Qi was cultivated from that Thunder Yuan Demon Jujube Tree and gained through the attribute.

Qin Ming, not long ago, buried the corpses of three Nascent Soul Cultivators, and this Demon Jujube Tree has recently shown signs of blooming.

But now that he was attending a Nascent Soul gathering, he didn’t think much about it and focused his attention on the venue.

At this moment.

“Daoist Zhiyang, this Palace has a question.”

Nan Mengli, the Supreme Elder of the Crystal Palace, spoke up and asked.

“Fellow Daoist Nan, please speak.” Daoist Zhiyang also said faintly.

“Could it be that there is no possibility of reconciliation in the matter of the Bloodbound Realm invading the Human Realm? Because as this Palace knows, if we talk about the overall strength and resources of the Bloodbound Realm, they are even slightly better than the Human Realm, but they invade, is it just for blood food to cultivate demonic skills and refine demonic qi?”

“After all, we in the Human Realm also have Transformation God Sects, and once a great battle breaks out between the two realms, it is still unknown who will win.”

“Just look at the present, several Demon Lords of the Bloodbound Realm have also fallen.”

“Putting aside the Ghost Realm Palace that descended on our East Sea Cultivation World, this Palace can say that Demon Lord Xueyan of the Blood Refining Demon Sect, who fell not long ago.”

“Everyone should also know that the Blood Refining Demon Sect is the first great sect of the Bloodbound Realm, and the cultivation strength of Demon Lord Xueyan is not much weaker than that of the two from the Ghost Realm Palace.”

“And according to the intelligence obtained by this Sect, Demon Lord Xueyan also carried a very powerful Demonic Treasure when they descended, and even Master Li Huo of the Great Jin, is likely to have fallen at the hands of this person.”

“For those of us who have reached this level of cultivation, if we don’t look towards higher places, but instead fight to the death like this, we’ll end up with nothing, which doesn’t seem to be very good for the high-level cultivators of both sides, right?”

After Nan Mengli finished speaking, her gaze swept over the Nascent Souls present.

Qin Ming heard this, and looked like he was fine, drank a sip of spirit tea, and his face didn’t turn red or his heart didn’t jump……

Daoist Zhiyang just pondered for a moment and explained, “What Immortal Fairy Nan said also makes sense, but it’s a pity that things don’t go as one wishes! This time the Bloodbound Realm descends and invades, in addition to the intersection of the planes, it is related to the Spirit Realm, the Human Race, Demon Race, Devil Race, and the strife between all races in the Spirit Realm has been going on until now, and it can’t be explained clearly in a few words.”

At this level, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs present all nodded in agreement.

Then, Daoist Zhiyang continued, “Today, the Fellow Daoists present are all the leaders of a faction of the Cultivation World, and you should also know that the Human Race in the ‘Spirit Realm’ also has the Daoist Lineage that has been proliferating and passed down.”

“Therefore, those talented Transformation God Cultivators who have ascended from the Human Realm are, for the Human Race in the Spirit Realm, a great supplement.”

“In this way, it indirectly affects the upper-level game between the human, demon, and devil races.”

“Therefore, in turn, we, the small realms at the lower levels, are also affected by the upper-level game, and we have been in a state of mutual attack for a long time, and we will not hesitate to pay any price to completely contaminate the other party.”

“Draw Out the Fire, severing the Daoist Lineage”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs present were all solemn, and they obviously realized the seriousness of the situation.
