Qing stood outside the door, staring intently at Li Suhong, but her gaze involuntarily peered toward the bamboo house.
Just now in the house, there were flashes of lightning and thunder, as well as howling cold winds, which ultimately fell into a prolonged calm.
What happened?
Qing didn’t know, and was even more curious.
But while curiosity loomed, she knew to prioritize and did not act rashly, merely glancing over twice.
It was at this moment that a person stepped out—it was Xu Yang.
Xu Yang exited the bamboo house and, without a word, threw out the bamboo basket.
“Immo—” she began.
Before Qing could react, she felt the world spinning and found herself in a strange space.
The Qianlong Basket!
In the world of Dao and Law, there is a spiritual treasure named Qiankun Bag, known as the treasure of the Northern Great Dao Stat, the treasure of Iron Demon Mountain Qiankun Cave. It’s a spatial creator, different from the Storage Bag or Beast Controlling Bag in the subtle intricacies of its function, not only can it store items and hold living beings, but it also has the capabilities of “absorbing,” “suppressing,” and “refining.”
After the downfall of Iron Demon Mountain Dao Stat by the hands of Pudu Cihang, the Qiankun Bag went through several hands before it became property of the Wandao School.
Xu Yang valued the subtleties of Qiankun and the principles of space contained within this treasure and had thoroughly studied it.
After all, the concept of Qiankun represents heaven and earth, the grand Dao of space-time, the foundation of creation, and a fundamental framework of the world—its immense power goes without saying.
Having obtained this treasure, Xu Yang’s research and insights turned out to be remarkable. Heavenly crafts and natural creations, Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor, Array Formation Artifact Skills, Earth Deities Cave Heaven, and many accomplishments of the Wandao School owe their success to it.
Now, the Wandao School has begun mass-producing Magic Artifact Level, Spiritual Artifact Level, and Magical Treasure Level Qiankun Bags, aiming to fully replace Storage Bags, Beast Controlling Bags, and other such Magic Artifacts, effectuating an upgrade of spatial-class artifact devices. Additionally, they are looking to launch a brand new series of Qiankun Mecha, specializing in the arts of absorption and refinement.
The bamboo basket that Xu Yang now held in his hand was a trial creation of his.
Unfortunately, even a talented person can’t work without the necessary materials; this Qianlong Basket, being merely a Magic Artifact, burdens the ingenuity of Qiankun’s wonderful skill and can only serve as a somewhat superior Beast Controlling Bag.
After taking Qing and her brother along with Li Suhong into the bamboo basket, Xu Yang looked at the Magic Artifact in his hand, his mind beginning to plot once again.
“In this world, there are many Demon Objects, and Cultivators even have methods like the ‘burning the bridge after crossing it’ to fall and transform into Demon Fetuses. If I have the chance, I should refine more Qiankun Bags to collect Cultivators, suppress Demon Fetuses, and even refine Demon Objects.”
“However, these are, after all, matters for the future. As for the here and now…”
As the thought crossed his mind, his flying sword soared up, accompanied by the roaring of wind and thunder, and darted away.
…
On the shores of Wuzhe Lake, within another small castle.
“How is it going?”
“That Zhu Yang was ambushed by an unknown assailant and seems to have died. Disciple Li Suhong’s whereabouts are unknown.”
“The people from the Le Family Castle have already moved back. Together with the talents collected earlier, we should be able to refine several batches of Five Viscera Pills.”
“A few batches aren’t enough. In this Demon Realm, Demonic Qi boils like a raging cauldron. Every bit of Mana we use is lost forever, unless we consume Five Viscera Pills, we cannot replenish our powers.”
“Now that the Demon Realm has only formed for one day, those fishermen have not yet turned into Demon Corpses. There are also the Demon Fish in Wuzhe Lake, and the scattered Martial Artists – if they do not recognize the benefits and drawbacks and absorb demon spirits, they will definitely become Demon Objects and attack our castle. Even the True Demons might come this way.”
“If we want to hold out, Five Viscera Pills are indispensable.”
“How could I not know that…”
Within the castle, in the great hall, Yuwen Jie and Shen Hongyu spoke to each other, their expressions grim.
They had just received word of the attack on the Le Family Castle and had immediately dispatched someone to take over.
In the end, although they had successfully taken over the “inheritance” of the Le Family Castle, there was little joy in their hearts.
Instead, a dark cloud of worry hung over their minds.
“I’ve seen the scene and there appears to be traces of Thunder Series spells.”
“Thunder Series!”
“How could it be?”
“`
At Yuwen Jie’s words, Shen Hongyu’s face changed on the spot.
In the Great Dao, Thunder reigns supreme, the commanding might of Heaven!
The power of Thunder Series needs no elaboration.
Nor does the difficulty of becoming a Thunder Cultivator need to be mentioned.
Just a single Spiritual Root is enough to eliminate countless others, not to mention the pollution of Demonic Qi in this world.
With the Thunder Series being so powerful and consuming so much, how can a cultivator sustain it without fearing the pollution of Demonic Qi, falling into the Demon Path?
Thus, in this world, few cultivators practice Thunder Series, it’s almost extinct.
The word ‘almost’ is used because…
“Could it be?”
“Is there an Immortal here?”
Shen Hongyu’s pupils constricted, surprise mixed with joy.
Yuwen Jie’s face was solemn, “The Corpse Resolution Immortal has the duty of stabilizing the world and will not easily leave their post. Even if we step back ten thousand steps and suppose an Immortal has indeed come, why would they make a move against Zhu Yang?”
Shen Hongyu’s brows furrowed, she muttered, “If not the Corpse Resolution Immortal, yet capable of wielding Thunder Series, could it be…”
In the midst of speaking, it seemed that she thought of something, and her expression changed again.
“The Spiritual Fish King we encountered before possessed the ability of thunder and lightning.”
Yuwen Jie voiced her inner guess, “It seems that person is also trapped in the Demon Realm, and is now driven to desperation.”
Shen Hongyu’s face was as still as water, silent.
The Five Viscera Pills technique has its pros and cons.
The advantages need not be spoken of, and the disadvantages are quite clear—that is often cultivators are unscrupulous, deranged, plundering everywhere like locusts, not only using ordinary people for alchemy but also other cultivators, even targeting disciples from sects.
For such madmen, the major sects have always struck hard.
But, alas, in a world where corruption abounds and the human heart is like a demon, it is fundamentally impossible to eradicate completely.
Now, it seems that Wuzhe Lake is hiding such a “Robbing Cultivator!”
Robbing Cultivators are not to be feared, for they themselves are the biggest Robbing Cultivators. In the end, they might massacre all the living beings in Wuzhe to use as materials for alchemy and absorbing Qi, becoming the last ones who could possibly survive.
This was their ultimate plan, but now there’s been an unexpected change.
An immensely powerful Robbing Cultivator, with a weapon like the Spiritual Fish King in hand.
This…
Shen Hongyu’s face was clouded with gloom, an expression that lingered.
Yuwen Jie’s expression was frosty, “That person is indeed powerful, but you and I are not mere fish on the cutting board. He probably won’t risk coming here until the very last moment…”
“Huh!”
Before his words were finished, ripples appeared in the void.
A figure emerged within the ripples, pressing straight forward before them.
Phantom Demon Body Skill!
Although it’s a martial arts move and not as profound as Immortal Law or Divine Skills, it has its unique aspects. With the integration of the Taoism that leads into the obscure, one can tread upon yin and yang, move through the void, whether for assassination or escape, it’s an exceptional method.
“!!”
Yuwen Jie’s pupils shrunk rapidly, and he hastily raised his hand to defend.
Alas, he was one beat too slow, one step behind.
Though he was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with Tri-element integration and cultivated Divine Consciousness, he still failed to detect the opponent’s sneaking in time.
Caught off guard, he could not catch up with the opponent’s speed.
“`
In an instant, Xu Yang was up close, his fingers striking like a sword in a torrential downpour.
“Bang bang bang bang bang!”
Sword light, sword light everywhere, each flash following Xu Yang’s sword-finger thrusts, landing all around Yuwen Jie.
Although he was too slow to react and unable to defend, his mana instinctively surged, forming a protective barrier around himself.
This mana barrier withstood the bombardment of sword light, giving Yuwen Jie a glimmer of a chance to survive.
This was the advantage of higher cultivation.
However…
“Bang bang bang bang bang!”
As the sword light poured down like rain, another figure pressed forward aggressively, almost crushing into Yuwen Jie’s chest.
In this close-quarter combat, limbs clashed with utmost danger.
The martial arts combat techniques were on full display at this moment.
Finger thrusts, palm strikes, punches, kicks…
Every part of the body became a weapon.
Unleashing full power, his attacks were vigorous and invigorating.
This was the only way to describe Xu Yang at this moment.
In the span of a few breaths, he launched countless attacks, hitting Yuwen Jie all over his body, aiming for vital joints.
Finally…
“Boom!!!”
A loud bang echoed as his right fist heavily swung, shaking the air in front of the enemy, blasting the cultivator’s body into a wall, which immediately crumbled and fell, leaving a pile of ruins.
All of this might seem slow, but it happened in the blink of an eye, like lightning and flint.
“You…!”
Seeing her attacker suddenly burst forth and send Yuwen Jie flying in an instant, Shen Hongyu also snapped awake, her two red sleeves whirling out like twin fire serpents, ferociously attacking her opponent.
On the other side, amidst the ruins, Yuwen Jie struggled to sit up, attempting to mobilize his mana to suppress his injuries.
But unexpectedly…
“Boom!!!”
A burst of white light exploded in his chest like a sword qi, leaving behind a trail of blood.
Yuwen Jie’s body trembled, he looked down at his chest in disbelief.
Just as his gaze fell, another explosion was heard.
“Boom!!!”
A streak of cyan light, just like the previous one, exploded in his chest.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
As if a signal, this sound ignited the whole situation, and three more lights burst from within his body.
The three lights of different colors gathered one after another—blue, yellow, red, white, and black.
The white light was brilliant, extremely sharp.
The cyan light was ethereal, boundlessly vast.
The red light was fiery, bright as the mighty sun.
The yellow light was murky, heavy, and majestic.
The black light was profound, nourishing all things.
Five lights of five colors, the Five Elements and Five Spirits.
It was the “Five-Line Five-Element True Jue.”
Although this technique was full of deficiencies, absent were any spells or divine skills to complement it, beyond the basic cultivation technique and a “Five Spirits Five Elements Battle Body” divine skill; yet, this didn’t hinder Xu Yang from utilizing its wonderful effects.
Chaos Yuan Qi divides into Yin and Yang; Yin and Yang give birth to the Five Elements.
Yin Yang and the Five Elements are inherently present in all things.
Xu Yang’s previous practices, whether they were martial arts scriptures or Taoist scriptures, all contained the art of the Five Elements. Combined with the mana of the Five Elements cultivated from the Five Spirits True Jue, their might was greatly enhanced, providing infinite wonderful uses.
Just now, he had merged martial techniques with his body as a sword, along with the Five Elements, to congeal a hundred threads of Five Elements mana into sword qi. With an internal shock method, he penetrated Yuwen Jie’s body, targeting his organs for a precise attack.
The advantage of the Five Elements Spiritual Root was not only evident in cultivation but also significantly boosted in fighting, showcasing the might of the Five Elements.
Now, with a hundred sword qi threads, each associated with one of the Five Elements, the concealed force transformed into a shock that penetrated the flesh, using the principle of the mutual overcoming of the Five Elements to invade the organs. What could be the result?
The outcome was clear to see.
The qi of the Five Elements burst forth like swords, each breaking through an organ.
Yuwen Jie felt a sharp pain in his chest as his organs were attacked, instantly putting him in a fatal situation.
His liver was in extreme pain, as metal turned to swords, riddling it with countless holes.
His heart grew cold as water formed into ice, dark black like ink.
His spleen tightly knotted as wood turned to forest, roots piercing through flesh and blood.
His lungs seared, fire turning to charcoal, scattering into ashes.
His kidneys rotted away, earth mixing into mud, like a scene of death.
Anomalies cropped up everywhere, as each organ underwent its tribulation, receiving targeted restraint.
The liver belonged to wood, attacked by metallic qi.
The heart belonged to fire, invaded by water qi.
The spleen belonged to earth, rooted by wood qi.
The lungs belonged to metal, burnt by fire qi.
The kidneys belonged to water, governed by earth qi.
…
The Five Elements and the qi of the Five Elements, five organs and five swords, burst forth from the body in an instant.
Yuwen Jie’s body trembled, feeling his flesh and blood, organs, essence, mana, Yuan Skill, and even his soul being hollowed out, all fleeing alongside those five streams of sword qi from his body.
What kind of spell was this, what divine skill?
Yuwen Jie had no time for further thought because his body was already nearing death’s door.
No, not nearing, but already entering.
Yuwen Jie’s body shuddered, his head drooped, the life inside dissipated, but a trace of an unexplained force remained, strands of Demonic Qi gathering, gradually sprouting hair all over the body, blood-red and ominously glamorous.
With the enemy dead, the corpse underwent a strange transformation.
The five streams of sword qi burst from the body, carrying with them the essence of the Five Elements, like flying swords returning to their master.
Although Xu Yang was entangled with two fiery serpents, he still pushed out with a palm, causing the five streams of sword qi to turn back midway, merging into one, the Five Elements converging into a single five-colored sword light that pierced into Yuwen Jie’s body.
“Boom!!!”
A loud explosion followed as the Five Elements sword qi pierced through and detonated inside the body.
Yuwen Jie’s corpse, although undergoing a transformation, wasn’t given enough time to complete the demonic transformation.
With the demonic fetus still unborn and the demon object yet to manifest, how could it withstand the ultimate burst of the Five Elements sword qi, with their mutual generation and overcoming?
A single strike was all it took for the corpse to shatter into dust, the demonic fetus dying within.
