Chapter 89: Using Means to Eliminate Lingering Calamities, Slaughtering the Demon Abode to Root Out the Evil【45k】

Red flames flowed horizontally, a magnificent sea of fire.

Fang Longye casually gathered a fire lotus, its brilliance scorching, and stood upon it.

Hearing the surrounding demon immortals discussing the Great Ape King, he shook his head and chuckled, thinking to himself: "I didn't expect that in nearly ten years, while I have been progressing, others have also been advancing courageously!"

Previously, when he first made the acquaintance of the Great Ape King at the Yuyang Yaofang, the Great Ape King indeed had some reputation, but it had absolutely not reached the point of being known throughout Beiju Lu.

Now, listening to the tone of these demon immortals, it seems this gentleman among monkeys has not been idle these past few years; his reputation has finally caught up to Jiao Mowang.

Ignoring the chatter of these demon immortals, Fang Longye waved his hand, summoning Qingli and Jinghuan, who had just arrived, to his side.

"Young Master—" the two greeted him.

"I didn't expect that in only four or five days, you, Jinghuan, would have already emerged from seclusion?"

Fang Longye looked at Jinghuan, who had shed her usual naive and silly demeanor; she seemed as if she had washed away all artifice, revealing a sense of clarity and ethereal grace.

He thought to himself: "Indeed, the origin of the Golden Immortal Realm is of greater benefit to those at the lower Origin Immortal level. Especially when they are of the same species."

"It was just over a day after you left, Young Master, that I emerged from seclusion. Not long after that, I received your message," Qingli explained.

"Not bad, you have ascended to True Immortal, leaping across a major realm. This counts as a help to me."

"Hehe, Young Master, I have even transformed from a Green Jade Illusion Butterfly into a Green Jade Sword Butterfly!" Jinghuan's face broke into a smile, and she was overcome with joy.

She gazed expectantly at Fang Longye, looking as if she were waiting for praise.

Seeing the clear, unadulterated foolishness in her eyes, Fang Longye pressed a hand to his forehead; fine, he had misjudged her before.

Even if one's cultivation increases and one's temperament changes, knowledge and wisdom do not necessarily grow.

He waved his hand, and a beam of light entered the space between their brows, containing all the information he had refined from Chiyang Wang.

"The two of you go directly to his Daoist temple and block the gate. You don't need to break into his Cave Abode; just ensure that not a single person escapes. Once I finish my business here, I will go there myself to settle these disputes."

"Understood! Rest assured, Young Master. Even without Jinghuan's cooperation, with my current cultivation, I alone with my sword can sweep through his temple~"

As various streams of information flowed through her sea of consciousness, Qingli understood the situation inside Chiyang Yaowang's temple and laughed softly.

A clear, metallic sword chime rang out, filled with absolute confidence.

Jinghuan brandished a green-light treasure sword, performed a sword flourish, and chirped: "With me added, it will be foolproof!"

Fang Longye shook his head and chuckled at this.

After sending the two off to block the gate of Chiyang Yaowang's Cave Abode, Fang Longye looked down at the fire-gold sea of flames beneath his feet.

He refined the Superior Spiritual Treasure-level Treasure Pot that belonged to Chiyang Yaowang, summoned the Qingyang Cauldron, and, combining it with his own supernatural powers for controlling water and fire, began to continuously absorb the sea of fire that flowed like molten gold.

An unimaginable devouring force was unleashed.

All the flames in the vicinity were absorbed, revealing the earth, which radiated heat. After a period of cooling, it was nothing but volcanic rock, utterly desolate.

As the sea of fire gradually receded, leaving behind a scene of devastation, Fang Longye collected the numerous fire-attribute spiritual materials brought up by the earth fire along the way.

He continued until all the remaining fire on the entire land was extinguished, leaving only a fire pool about a thousand miles in diameter.

He sat cross-legged at the side, auspicious clouds and clear light appearing above his head, his primordial spirit manifestation revealing its majesty, with a five-colored halo behind him, as scriptures resonated, every word a gem.

Countless seal scripts and Restrictions scattered, being struck one by one into the perimeter of the fire pool, suppressing and pacifying the earth fire that had become violent due to the battle, quelling its restlessness.

The fire pool became calm, bright and brilliant, with layers of red clouds rising in the mist.

After some thought, the Five Qi in Fang Longye's chest stirred slightly, and the land beneath the fire pool rose a thousand feet, extending outward continuously.

Finally, it formed a desolate mountain several thousand miles in circumference and a thousand feet high.

Yin and Yang Two Qis circulated, continuously reinforcing the mountain rock. After finishing all this, Fang Longye stepped into the fire pool and descended.

However, despite collecting quite a bit of Red Refined Origin Copper and a large amount of rare fire-attribute treasures, even after reaching the bottom of the earth fire space, he still did not find the Red Refined Origin Copper mine he had expected.

"Does it not exist at all? Or was it because of the battle between me and that thieving bird, causing the earth fire to erupt and the Red Refined Origin Copper mine to be pushed elsewhere underground?"

Fang Longye was full of frustration and casually crushed an Earth Fire Bead into powder.

He had the intention to search in other directions of this earth fire space, but ultimately gave up.

This earth fire space did not just contain flames; it was also intertwined with malevolent Qi and fire poison that eroded everything, as well as irregular eruptions of earth malevolence.

Even with several types of divine fire, given Fang Longye's cultivation, he still could not stay here for long.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many cultivators flocking to the treasures brought by volcanic eruptions. Isn't it just because the earth fire space is not an easy place to wander around in?

He exited the fire pool.

Looking at the pillar of destiny above his head, which was stained with quite a bit of black Qi, Fang Longye gritted his teeth.

"I finally understand why there are so few demon immortals in Beiju Luzhou who are bathed in clear light! A single battle often creates a dead zone. It would be strange if Heaven and Earth didn't bestow Karma!"

He didn't care about these things before, but the key is that he is now part of the Dragon Clan!

And because of the great Hongyun, he needs to curry favor with the immortals and gods, so he must maintain a righteous image~ "I wonder what the scene is like when those immortals and Buddhists fight? When they fight, is there no Karma?"

Looking at the heavenly Karma lingering above his head, Fang Longye felt secret hatred for Chiyang Wang; the cost of this was greater than devouring millions of the Human Race.

Eating too many humans only results in being suppressed by the destiny of the Human Dao. Destroying Heaven and Earth, however, results in being suppressed by Heaven and Earth itself.

Of course, the destruction of Heaven and Earth here does not refer to destroying mountains, rivers, or forests; that has no impact on Heaven and Earth, merely being a change in terrain.

Rather, it refers to actions like the one in the battle between Fang Longye and Chiyang Wang, which triggered the invasion of earth malevolence, causing a region to lose its spiritual energy and its Dao laws to become chaotic, turning it into a dead zone.

"Fortunately, it can still be remedied~"

Fang Longye looked at the hundreds of thousands of miles of desolation around him, where malevolent Qi grew and fire poison was everywhere.

He first activated his supernatural power to summon clouds and rain, causing a gentle drizzle to wash the entire region.

For a time, water vapor and fire Qi collided, creating layers of clouds and mist that permeated the area.

Fang Longye then used his supernatural power to summon Xuanming True Water, turning it into a fine, misty rain and scattering it freely.

The remaining fire poison and malevolent Qi in this region were completely eliminated.

Next, he manifested the phantom of the Five-Colored Treasure Tree, which bloomed with bright colors and sent out ripples, extracting the Five Elements spiritual energy from the surroundings.

Countless five-colored rays of light burst forth, spreading in all directions, their edges like silk and thread, as fine as ox hair, falling like a gentle, continuous rain.

The Yin and Yang Two Qis transformed into black and white twin dragons, spiraling and circulating across the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles of territory.

The chaotic Aura was smoothed out, and the scattered, unruly earth energy was also brought into order. The five-colored halo rotated, and the chaotic Five Elements returned to order.

In an instant, vegetation grew in abundance, mountain ranges arched and gathered, and lush greenery filled the land.

A thousand layers of auspicious light and ten thousand kinds of brilliant colors rose in a dense mist.

Splash—mountain streams flowed, converging into lakes and rivers, finally surging toward the thousand-foot emerald peak topped with a fire pool.

Under the continuous sprinkling of dew by Fang Longye, it transformed into a hundred-thousand-mile expanse of wetlands, surrounding it.

He then cast in several clusters of Xuanming True Water; for a time, waves of chilling cold emerged, presenting a state of water and fire aiding each other with the fire pool at the mountain top.

The water shimmered, blue light swirled, while atop the emerald peak in the center, fiery clouds filled the sky, trailing brilliance and glowing.

Water and fire in the same furnace, their momentum soaring to the heavens.

The two types of light alternated, deriving the power of water, fire, Yin, and Yang, stabilizing this territory.

"This figure is truly not simple; he actually managed to turn a dead land into a precious treasure land. Although it is naturally incomparable to Chixia Feiliu before it was destroyed by Chiyang Wang, it can definitely be called extraordinary!"

"Brother Qinghe speaks the truth—"

The many demon immortals who had been watching Fang Longye were once again amazed by his methods.

……

Looking at the Karma of heaven and earth gradually dissipating above his head, with only a few tiny wisps remaining, Fang Longye let out a sigh of relief.

He took the various spiritual essences and treasures obtained from the lava and earth fire, extracted those he no longer needed, and exchanged them all for similar items from different worlds. Points of golden light fell, scattering widely, and gathered with the previous merit to form layers of halos.

He separated a wisp of merit, and with a thought, offset it against the remaining Karma of heaven and earth, completely eliminating the Karma of heaven and earth.

Free of debt, one feels light.

Although he had recovered his purity, the mere thought of that potentially existing Red Refined Origin Copper mine made Fang Longye feel heartbroken.

This was a divine material located only beneath Shoushan Yang Copper!

He chuckled coldly: "Fellow Daoist Chiyang, people leave a name when they pass, and geese leave a cry. Since you are already dead, I cannot let you vanish from the world completely; let me help you leave behind some marks!"

He immediately extracted mountain stone, mixed it with several low-grade spiritual materials, burned and refined them into liquid, and condensed them into a stone tablet filled with five-colored mist.

Various seal scripts were carved with a flourish. Afterward, he cast various Array Restrictions, and the treasure light flared before shrinking back.

Not bad, a mid-grade Dharma Treasure. It seems my craftsmanship has improved—

He casually connected the stone tablet to the surrounding earth energy, Five Elements, and Yin and Yang, and then placed various talismans and arrays around it.

"After this, even an Origin Immortal would find it hard to break. Those who could break it would not be willing to bear the Karma of destroying a territory just for a mere mid-grade Dharma Treasure."

The stone tablet appeared and disappeared in the void, surrounded by clouds and mist, blending into colors.

On the stone tablet, the seal scripts were eye-catching and shining: "At Chixia Feiliu, there was a red-clothed Demon named Chiyang, who, in order to cultivate the Demon path, sought to trigger earth fire to destroy the surrounding ten million miles of land.

Fortunately, Dragon Lord Yuanlong of Cangmang Mountain passed by, saw him poisoning the living beings, acted righteously to save the world, fought him for dozens of days and nights, and finally beheaded the Demon here.

Future generations are grateful and have erected this tablet as a record."

After finishing the arrangements, he immediately strode away.

……

Baoping Mountain.

Surrounded by water on all sides, shadows lying across the waves.

The ancient path of the imperial carriage is secluded and quiet, and the wind and moon listen to the Xuan crane's play. White clouds reveal the light of the full river, and flowing water passes the bridge with an immortal mood.

Apes howl and birds cry amidst strange flowers and trees, with vines and stone steps surpassing orchids. The distant peaks look like a treasure vase, with the mountain facing the streams and winding around the True Immortal cave.

"Although I had already seen the atmosphere of this Daoist site from Chiyang Wang's memories, seeing the real scene still makes one's spirit sway! He is worthy of being an old demon of many years—"

Fang Longye sighed with emotion.

"Young Master need not feel sentimental; in this servant's view, the atmosphere of our Cangmang Mountain is not the least bit weaker than this!" Qingli, on his left, smiled.

Then, she looked at this treasure mountain again: "Moreover, once Young Master takes the fortune of this treasure mountain, with your methods, Cangmang Mountain will surely become even more divinely beautiful."

"That, that Chiyang Yaowang was clearly a fire crow, so why is the area around his Cave Abode also surrounded by water on all sides, just like Cangmang Mountain?" Jinghuan asked aloud.

Qingli directly knocked her on the head: "It's a pity you have already achieved True Immortal status. You still can't see that this Chiyang Yaowang wanted to use water vapor to harmonize his own excessive fire energy—"

"Alright, stop messing around. Since I have already arrived, the big and small figures in this Cave Abode should meet with Chiyang Yaowang!"

Oh, he forgot, this Chiyang Yaowang was refined by the Pure Lotus Divine Ability, and would not even have a reincarnation.

"Actually, why must we wait for Young Master to arrive before taking action? With my and Jinghuan's strength, and having the information Young Master provided, it is enough to sweep through this Cave Abode!"

"Caution is the parent of safety!" Fang Longye shook his head and smiled.

"Looking at this posture, do the demon immortals of this Cave Abode know about the death of Chiyang Wang?"

Watching the cloud light at the mountain top being pushed aside, layers of crimson colors poured down.

It was like the sunset glow, but it had a kind of bright, burning, demonic strangeness that made one feel scorched. It reflected off the clear lake below, revealing an extraordinary aura.

The entire treasure mountain spanned ten thousand miles, with hills surrounding it and high rocks standing tall, clustered together, drawing in earth energy, forming magnetic light in the mist, and interlocking. Layers of arrays were laid out, and restrictions rotated, combining hardness and softness, firm and unbreakable, solid as a golden fortress.

This was Chiyang Wang's mountain-protecting array—Chiyang Mingguang Zhen, as well as numerous auxiliary arrays.

"That's right, when we first arrived, it was very quiet. But within three hours, this Yaoshan was in a stir. That wife of Chiyang Yaowang took her family and confidants and wanted to flee. But she was blocked by Sister Qingli with a sword."

Qingli continued: "After the Yaowang's wife retreated back to the Daoist site, she activated all the layers of arrays. However, what she doesn't know is that with the information Young Master gave, these seemingly solid arrays are just like paper."

Having said that, she chuckled softly.

Fang Longye shook his head and revealed his figure. Under the angry glares of the demons in Baoping Mountain, he flicked his index finger.

Hum—the entire set of mountain-protecting arrays collapsed instantly.

Having absorbed the entire fortune of Chiyang Wang, he was more familiar with the Array Restrictions of this demon mansion than Chiyang Furen inside.

"How do you know the key to these Array Restrictions?"

Seeing that hiding was useless, the big and small demons in Baoping Mountain came out fully armed.

Leading them was a female demon, her hair combed into a cloud bun, wearing a palace dress, with enchanting willow eyebrows, a melon-seed face, a pointed chin, and bare feet like lotus flowers, holding twin blades in her hands, carrying a heroic spirit amidst her charm.

It was precisely Chiyang Wang's wife, also a True Immortal, who had just shouted the question.

Behind her were four handmaidens in red clothes and red skirts, blades at their waists, similar in appearance and dress, and likewise True Immortal Realm demon immortals.

As expected of a long-standing old demon, the family fortune accumulated was indeed substantial, with a million demon followers arrayed in a rustling formation.

Counting the two True Immortals lurking in the shadows, preparing to ambush, there were a full seven True Immortals.

The two sides stood facing each other, further highlighting how thin and weak Fang Longye's side was.

What a pity~

In the world of cultivation, having more people does not mean having more power.

"Kill!"

Fang Longye did not bother with more words with her; decisive and resolute, he gave the order, and Qingli and Jinghuan immediately attacked the four True Immortal handmaidens.

"Clang—"

Beneath the Dragon Chant Bell,

Fang Longye casually unleashed his divine ability, and in almost an instant, he captured three True Immortals, including Chiyang Furen; even though each of them possessed a Spirit Treasure, it was useless.

One side with a seven-colored treasure gourd, the other with a water-blue conch, they hung high in the air, and in an instant, they gathered up the million demon followers as well.

The process was clean and swift, occurring almost in the blink of an eye.

The gap between one True Immortal and another is just that great.

Likewise, Qingli and Jinghuan, with one sword strike each, also almost instantly severely wounded and captured the four True Immortal handmaidens.

Handmaidens are not all the same.

……

The palace was towering, exuding a chilling coldness.

Ignoring her glare, Fang Longye touched Chiyang Furen's delicate face and sighed: "What a pity! What a pity~"

He had the heart to be a Cao thief, yet he had killed her husband, children, and her entire family.

She could not be kept! As for raping before killing, such a thing that crossed his bottom line made him feel sick just thinking about it.

"Madam, go in peace~"

A lotus seed, appearing both illusory and real, dreamlike and phantasmagorical, emerged and sank into the center of her brow, taking root, sprouting, and blooming with divine radiance.

Her physical form dissipated, and a Green Lotus immortal blossom swayed with brilliance, then scattered into specks of halo.

A fragrant Lotus Seed sank into Fang Longye's body.

This trip, the Pure Lotus Divine Ability made a great profit.

Chiyang Yaowang's entire family, along with his trusted subordinates, were all dead!
