Chapter 144: I Dare Say They Wouldn't Dare to Trouble My Dragon Race

【The laws of all things are all sources and paths of the Dao. What is called a cultivator walks a mental path of cultivating the heart, cultivating virtue, and cultivating the Dao. Regardless of where this path ultimately leads, the true essence lies in how you use such power.】

【The method of the "Immortal Aspect Demon Heart Path" is not only about cultivating the righteous path, but also about cultivating the Demon Dao, thereby tempering your inner heart and honing your will.】

【After that mysterious power dissipated, you found the sense of direction you had lost for so long.】

【You are now in urgent need of progress in your personal cultivation in order to find a way to break the current predicament. Before that, you intend to return home first to report your safety to your newlywed wife, Liu Moran.】

【You sensed someone tailing you in the shadows, and you even discerned who was responsible, but you do not intend to expose the other party's intentions; after all, she has no intention of harming you.】

【You returned home, but the residence was empty.】

【Facing such a situation, you could not help but feel a bit nervous. After searching around, you gained nothing, finding only a letter from home.】

【You guessed that Liu Moran, seeing you had not returned for a long time, might have gone out to look for your whereabouts.】

【And that letter from home confirmed your conjecture; Liu Moran had indeed gone to search for your tracks.】

【Your physique was thus improved, changing from that of a mortal, and you were surprised to discover that such nectar deepened your understanding of Heaven and Earth.】

Gu Jiangming merely sneered, "Just because your cultivation is above mine, you can bully me?"

Anyone who comes along dares to speak like this; do they really think Gu Jiangming has no temper at all?

Under the text continuously recorded by Mie Changsheng, a hurried figure indeed appeared in the distance within Gu Jiangming's line of sight.

Gu Jiangming said coldly: "I cannot accept being called 'brother,' and she already has a master. I advise you not to harbor any thoughts."

【You engaged in a fierce battle with a snake-like demon beast coveting the Buhei Grass. During this fight, your martial arts skills were improved.】

【You evolved the layout of the "Four Thousand Bureau" in advance, gaining the innate talent to form an array on your own.】

"I am Shen Zhuang, a disciple of the Dengyun Immortal Sect. In this era when the Human Race is in decline, our Dengyun Immortal Sect still has some reputation. Moreover, my cultivation is above yours," Shen Zhuang said after a moment of contemplation. "If you are willing to give me some face, I am also willing to help you out when you visit the Dengyun Immortal Sect in the future."

However, his gaze also fell upon Gu Jiangming, who was keeping watch nearby: "Brother, I have a predestined affinity with this treasure; I wonder if you could part with it?"

Furthermore, there is a mutual Opportunity between Gu Jiangming and Wang Qinghe that co-exists, and he still has to protect Wang Qinghe as she undergoes her transformation.

Because the Human Race is in decline and the Demon Race is like a blade hanging over everyone's head, major sects do not encourage infighting and all strive to persuade their disciples to prioritize harmony.

He was dressed in a light ink-colored robe with faint red clouds embroidered at the waist. Gu Jiangming had never encountered this type of person in his previous Reincarnation Simulations, so he naturally did not recognize him.

Are you kidding? This is his wife.

But listening to him speak, it was clear he wanted to snatch away Wang Qinghe, who had not yet undergone her transformation.

"A Spiritual Medicine with three thousand years of cultivation; truly, truly, Heaven has eyes. Heaven helps me—" The rogue cultivator looked up, revealing an ecstatic expression.

【But your goal was clear. Without stopping for a moment, you went directly to the place where the Buhei Grass was located to obtain the Opportunity that should have been yours.】

【Just as you were about to leave, a cultivator who appeared from nowhere appeared before you, his face covered in blood and his expression hurried.】

【In this way, due to a twist of fate, you missed each other in time.】

Regardless of whether his words were polite or not, what he was doing was digging up Gu Jiangming's roots.

【In your conversation with the Buhei Grass (Wang Qinghe), you obtained the nectar of the Buhei Grass and drank it all in one gulp.】

But for Shen Zhuang to speak like this, in the end, was still to snatch Gu Jiangming's Opportunity.

"Cultivation?"

"My strength is above yours!"

As he spoke, Gu Jiangming raised his hand. The space seemed to solidify, and a kind of powerful, pulling force appeared around Shen Zhuang's feet.

Shen Zhuang's brows suddenly knit together. He had thought the other party would be resentful, and he knew the other party would strike.

To a certain extent, he was also provoking him, because the person who strikes first, even if killed, cannot have the blame laid at his door.

The Human Race does not encourage infighting, but that does not mean one cannot take revenge.

However, deep down, Shen Zhuang felt that the situation was firmly under his control; he had not expected Gu Jiangming to counterattack immediately, and for the counterattack to be so fast.

His feet were fixed directly in place, unable to move at all.

Immediately, Gu Jiangming's solid palm slapped Shen Zhuang across the cheek, knocking him flat to the ground, and then he stomped on his face.

This kick did not carry much power; it was purely to vent the displeasure in his chest.

"You, you're worthy of me giving you face?" Gu Jiangming's gaze focused on Shen Zhuang. "Dengyun Immortal Sect? I've never heard of it."

【You have been struck by Demonic Qi.】

【The Immortal Aspect Demon Heart Path is not just about cultivating the Demon Dao; it is also about cultivating the path of the Immortal. You have the demonic nature but lack the Immortal bone, which will only cause you to fall into the abyss forever.】

【Please escape this tyrannical and oppressive state of mind as soon as possible.】

The moment these words appeared, Gu Jiangming did not have the slightest concern, because whether it was Demonic Qi or not was never important; what mattered was the pleasure of settling scores and exacting revenge.

Moreover, what Shen Zhuang wanted to take was his wife, who had not yet undergone her transformation.

This was a bottom line that Gu Jiangming would never allow.

"If you dare to kill me, the Dengyun Immortal Sect will soon know what happened." Shen Zhuang's expression did not change in the slightest. To him, the sect was his greatest backing, and in this world, only by relying on a good backing could one have a true foundation.

Gu Jiangming did not hesitate; the moment he spoke those words, he was already a dead man.

He would never fear such things.

In many situations, Gu Jiangming even had a rebellious psychology.

The words Shen Zhuang spoke were clearly a path to death.

And watching Gu Jiangming raise his hand, Shen Zhuang suddenly felt that he was locked on by a killing intent, and for a moment, he actually felt a sense of panic.

Just as Shen Zhuang was about to say something more.

His heart was suddenly pierced by a beam of light. Long Xi gently raised her hand, and the fluorescent light emerging from her fingertips seemed to tell Gu Jiangming who had made the move.

"If the Dengyun Immortal Sect wants to find someone, then let them come find me." Long Xi hovered in mid-air. "I dare say they wouldn't dare to trouble my Dragon Race."

"I will vent this anger for you."

【Long Xi made a move and killed the Dengyun Immortal Sect disciple, Shen Zhuang, for you.】

【The Dengyun Immortal Sect used a secret technique to immediately perceive the news of their disciple's death.】

【And they were surprised to discover that the energy signature locked by that secret technique actually pointed to a member of the Demon Race with world-shaking destiny—a Dragon.】

Once they learned that it was the Dragon Race who had taken action, the entire sect fell into an inexplicable panic.

They did not know how their own disciples had managed to offend the Dragon Race.

The symptoms of demonic Qi invading your heart have intensified once again; in a state where your Immortal Bone and Demonic Heart cannot keep each other in check, you are highly likely to undergo a physical mutation.

Please choose your next course of action with caution.

It is worth mentioning that your Innate Proud Bones can greatly resist the negative effects brought about by the demonic Qi invading your heart.

Please make good use of the effects of Innate Proud Bones to constantly hone and control yourself under the invasion of demonic Qi, thereby refining the most bewitching version of you in the Demonic Heart state.

In this battle, your proficiency in using the Four Thousand Bureau formation has increased, and your demonic Qi has deepened once again.

You in your demonic form have temporarily suppressed you in your immortal bone form.

Now, you will appear before the world in the state of a demonic cultivator; please keep one thing in mind: adhere to your original heart, and only then will you reach the end.

You have temporarily gained the demonic cultivator style of the Four Thousand Bureau formation, and you will achieve maximum mental state compatibility regarding the coordination and strength of specific formations.
