Chapter 187: The Secret of the Blood God Child (Please vote for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month)

"I say, Vice Sect Master Shouren, we are all under the Three Pure Ones sect, and the Dharma lineage is the same. As early as the Jin Dynasty, the Immortal of your sect once asked the Yuanjun of my sect for the Dao. As friends for six thousand years, will your sect really not consider handing Xinzhan over to our Shangqing Sect for guidance?"

True Person Nengyue said earnestly.

After a glimpse in West Kunlun that year, True Person Nengyue had visited Mount Sanqing to talk about this matter, but Ji Hehe refused to loosen his mouth, telling him not to mention it again, cutting off this thought. But today, seeing Cheng Xinzhan's remaining inner landscape gods, he couldn't help but bring up the old matter again.

"Vice Sect Master Shouren, don't be in a hurry to refuse. If there are any conditions, you can mention them! And little friend Xinzhan, don't you want to go further on the Dao of meditation and spirit-storing? Do you know how many immortal true forms are stored on our Shangqing Sect's mountain-suppressing spiritual treasure 'Shangqing Biluo Mirror'? Do you know that our founding Daoist book 'Shangqing Great Cave True Classic' records the secret technique of pointing apertures to heaven?"

True Person Nengyue smiled very kindly.

Dong Shouren also smiled upon hearing this, "Daoist, this is not kind of you. I brought Xinzhan here to thank you, and you still want to keep the person. The Shangqing spiritual treasure and Daoist books are naturally the best in the world, but Xinzhan is going to take charge of the Three Pure Ones Palace in the future. If I agreed today, the Sect Master would have to lock me under the West Sea when I go back."

"If Xinzhan is willing to stay on Mount Juqu, it is not impossible to take charge of the Cuntian Palace."

At this moment, True Person Chengchu also said with a smile.

She now knows why Nengyue proposed to give the Shangqing Register to this child at Three Corpses Island that year. Now that there is the Shangqing Register, even if this child cannot be brought over, this friendship will not be broken.

Cheng Xinzhan heard this and said he dared not, asking the elders not to tease him anymore.

The few people laughed it off. Since Mount Sanqing had already said such things as Sect Master candidate, the Shangqing Sect naturally knew that they could not talk about it anymore.

At this time, Dong Shouren took over the conversation and brought up the matter Ji Hehe had entrusted,

"True Person, Daoist, as the saying goes, do a good deed to the end. Just now, the Daoist said that your sect's Daoist scriptures are mysterious, so this poor Daoist will ask with a thick face, can you let Xinzhan take a look?

"Xinzhan is about to form the core. According to the rules of our Mount Sanqing, as long as he forms the core, he can open a branch alone to take disciples and preach the Dao. When the time comes, let Xinzhan be the Mountain Master and teach the spirit-storing Dao, which can be considered as spreading the spirit-storing Dao.

"In addition, if there are any gifted ones, our two families can talk about the inheritance of the Dharma lineage, or as our direct disciple, your external disciple, or if your Shangqing Sect really has few people in that generation, it is not impossible to lead them to your sect as direct disciples and leave their names in our sect as external disciples."

Dong Shouren threw out the Sect Master's proposal to the two managers of the Shangqing Sect. He felt that the Shangqing Sect could not refuse. No matter how you look at this, the Shangqing Sect does not lose. Mount Sanqing provides people and effort to help the Shangqing Sect spread its branches and leaves, and there is a possibility of sharing the fruits. In the future, they will form a Dharma lineage alliance. All they want is to let Xinzhan read the Daoist scriptures alone.

He even felt that it was too cheap for the Shangqing Sect.

Sure enough, True Person Chengchu and True Person Nengyue looked at each other and nodded without any hesitation. True Person Chengchu even said,

"'Yellow Court Inner Landscape Classic' and 'Shangqing Great Cave True Classic' can be provided for Xinzhan to read, but I have one condition. After Xinzhan forms the core, in addition to holding the position of Mountain Master in your sect, he must also hold the position of Preaching Elder on our Mount Juqu, and must extract two months of time every ten years to come to our Mount Juqu to preach and teach scriptures.

"As compensation, after Xinzhan opens the mountain to take disciples, our Mount Juqu will also send people over to preach and teach scriptures, and establish the reputation of the spirit-storing method as soon as possible."

Dong Shouren thought about it and felt there was no problem, so he looked at Cheng Xinzhan.

Cheng Xinzhan nodded, indicating that he had no problem.

Dong Shouren then said, "Good!"

Thus, the host and guests were happy.

"The Sect Master also entrusted another thing."

Dong Shouren threw out another sentence, and his expression also became solemn.

True Person Chengchu and True Person Nengyue also listened respectfully.

"Mount Juqu has the heart to purge demons and defend the Dao. Mount Sanqing is willing to help with all its strength, sparing no effort. Whatever is requested, there will be a response!"

Dong Shouren said decisively.

"This will also be the meaning of the entire Wanfa Sect."

Huo Jingyan added.

True Person Chengchu and True Person Nengyue heard this, and joy appeared in their eyes, and they stood up to thank them.

After saying these two things, the two families felt that their relationship was closer, so Dong Shouren asked again,

"In recent years, your sect's disciples have had frequent clashes with the demonic sect. Have you explored anything?"

True Person Nengyue pondered for a moment and said, "There are many. It is not alarmist for us to say that the demonic path is powerful."

"Can you tell me in detail?"

True Person Nengyue looked at True Person Chengchu, who nodded, "To the Daoists of Mount Sanqing, naturally there is nothing that cannot be said."

Thus, True Person Nengyue said, "The biggest problem with the demonic path recently lies in the Blood God Child."

"The Blood God Child of the Northern sect West Kunlun?"

"Exactly. This Blood God Child is far more powerful than we thought."

Huo Jingyan frowned and said,

"At that time, when the West Kunlun sect was overturned by the Blood Demon, our sect went there as soon as we got the news. Elder Fu Shouzhen, who specializes in thunder Dharma, secretly followed with his primordial spirit. After arriving, Elder Fu said that the blood Qi on the top of West Kunlun Mountain was like a sea, and even his Purple Thunder primordial spirit felt uneasy, urging us to be careful. Later, Elder Fu's primordial spirit risked approaching and saw a blood shadow on the top of the mountain. Just by looking at him, it almost left his primordial spirit, so he was certain that the Blood God Child was a Fifth-Rank great demon."

True Person Nengyue looked at Huo Jingyan and said in a deep voice,

"But I want to tell the Daoist now that the Blood God Child is not Fifth-Rank, but Immortal Realm."

"Immortal Realm?!"

Dong Shouren and Huo Jingyan exclaimed, and Cheng Xinzhan also widened his eyes.

The demonic path producing an Immortal Realm is not an ordinary thing!

Generally speaking, because the demonic path is eager for quick success, values Dharma over meaning, cultivates the body but not the heart, so before Core Formation, demonic path cultivation is faster than the righteous path. But after Core Formation, because of the thunder tribulation, demonic path cultivation will slow down rapidly. There are very few demonic heads who can live to the Fourth Rank, and as for Fifth-Rank demonic heads, they are all sect masters of one side, and they can be counted on one's fingers.

It has been many years since I heard of an Immortal Realm one. How could one suddenly appear!

True Person Nengyue nodded and looked at Cheng Xinzhan again. He said,

"Little friend Xinzhan, you were there the day the Three Corpses established the sect. You should have seen where the Corpse Demon Gu Chen came out from."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded. He was on Mount Siming at that time and saw with his own eyes the Corpse Demon Gu Chen holding a demonic treasure and escaping from Mount Juqu.

"The Corpse Demon Gu Chen can also be considered a Fifth-Rank corpse demon rarely seen in a millennium. But even so, my Mount Juqu is not a place where he can come and go as he pleases! If it weren't for the Blood God Child, how could he have escaped!" True Person Nengyue said through gritted teeth.

Cheng Xinzhan was confused about this point. After he brought the Ginseng Fruit back to the sect, the sect specifically invited immortals to guard it. The Earth Lung is such a treasure land. Could it be that the Shangqing Sect did not send anyone to guard it?

"As for the matter that day, except for True Person Hehe of your sect, please do not reveal a word to anyone, the three of you."

True Person Nengyue's eyes were somewhat red.

The three naturally agreed.

Thus, immediately, True Person Nengyue answered his doubts,

"In the Earth Lung, there is a lingering immortal of my sect guarding it, so we have never worried about the safety of the Earth Lung. So when Gu Chen broke the barrier from the earth cave, we went to block it for the first time, but we were also wondering where the lingering immortal was."

True Person Nengyue said in an extremely tragic voice, which shocked everyone to the point of being speechless,

"After the Corpse Demon appeared, the lingering immortal also followed him out of the earth cave, but he attacked us who were blocking the Corpse Demon. The lingering immortal was possessed and seized."

Cheng Xinzhan couldn't believe his ears. A lingering immortal, seized? How could these words be associated together?

"At that time, the lingering immortal suppressed us with one move, and Gu Chen took the opportunity to escape. Subsequently, two other Loose Immortal ancestors of my sect attacked at the same time, only then beating back the lingering immortal. Subsequently, the lingering immortal broke the void and escaped. Two Loose Immortals went to chase, and we had time to chase the Corpse Demon."

The few from Mount Sanqing looked at each other. A lingering immortal refers to either a Heavenly Immortal or a Corpse-Dissection Immortal. But for a great sect like the Shangqing Sect, seeking immortality only means seeking Heavenly Immortals. So, there was actually one Heavenly Immortal and two Loose Immortals on Mount Juqu. Such a foundation is not deep, but it should be at the limit, and there should not be more immortals. But such a terrifying formation could actually let Gu Chen escape.

Who was the one who seized the lingering immortal?

"Two immortal ancestors carried the mountain-suppressing spiritual treasure 'Shangqing Biluo Mirror' to chase, and brought back the lingering immortal's remains when they returned. But the two immortals themselves also returned with heavy injuries. One of them died because of the heavy injuries and could not deal with the fifth Loose Immortal tribulation two years ago!"

It was another shocking piece of news. This person who seized the Shangqing lingering immortal could actually fight one against two and injure two Loose Immortals holding the Shangqing mountain-suppressing spiritual treasure?!

"My sect's immortal used the spiritual treasure to shine on the lingering immortal, forcing out a blood shadow."

"Blood shadow?"

Thus, everyone guessed who it was who seized the lingering immortal, and also understood why True Person Nengyue said the Blood God Child was in the Immortal Realm.

"The immortal said that after the blood shadow left the lingering immortal's physical body, it transformed into blood threads all over the sky to attack, and there were also Mysterious Yin Divine Thunder and Blood Light Demonic Flame, all of which were methods never seen before. They tried their best to resist with the spiritual treasure, but still fell into a disadvantage, and finally were defeated and fled.

After returning to the sect, the two immortals had time to look at the lingering immortal's physical body, which had already been... already been hollowed out of essence and blood, and eaten into an empty shell!"

True Person Nengyue clenched his fists tightly, tears streaming down his face.

The crowd from Mount Sanqing was silent, remaining in great shock and pain for a long time and unable to recover.

At the same time, they also understood the problem that had troubled the righteous path of the cultivation world for more than ten years—how the Blood God Sect destroyed West Kunlun overnight. I am afraid that many years ago, the West Kunlun Sect Master had already been seized by the Blood God Child!

Not good!

With such ghostly means, who is the Blood God Child's next target?!

True Person Nengyue saw the changes in the expressions of the few, and smiled bitterly,

"So we called on fellow righteous path members to be alert to the demonic sect. It's just that my sect cannot say these words too clearly. Otherwise, if the news of my sect's immortal's death spreads, I don't know if my sect will die at the hands of the demonic path or the so-called righteous path in the end!"

Cheng Xinzhan sighed secretly. After such changes occurred in the Shangqing Sect, they did not choose to close the mountain and hide from disaster, but further inquired about the demonic sect's news and called on the righteous path to form an alliance to kill demons. Just this spirit is already very remarkable.

"Subsequently, we began to investigate the origin of the Blood God Child. This investigation allowed us to find some extraordinary things."

True Person Nengyue said again.

The three listened more carefully.

"The two immortals fought with the Blood God Child. Although the Blood God Child performed methods that had never been seen before, the two immortals saw the shadow of Taiqing Daoist Dharma in the Blood God Child's spells, Qi movement, and treasure control, which shows that the Blood God Child is not an innate demonic seed, but transformed from Dao to demon!"

Another shocking secret.

"In today's world, there are not many Daoist lineages that have Taiqing Daoist Dharma inheritance and can cultivate to Heavenly Immortal. Besides our Shangqing Sect Mount Juqu, your Wanfa Sect Mount Sanqing, there are Zhengyi Dao Mount Longhu, Louguan Dao Qinglong Cave, Inner Dan Dao Mount Laojun and Mount Wuyi, and then there is Mount Emei in West Shu, which claims that its ancestors have entered the Doushuai Heaven Xuan Du Mystical Realm.

"In addition, we all know that the Blood God Sect is also good at flying sword techniques. At that time in West Kunlun, many people suspected that the Blood God Sect was related to the Emei Sect. Jian Bingru, the senior brother of Emei Sect Master Qi Shuming, had monitored West Kunlun for several years."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded. There is such a saying.

"In addition, the Corpse Demon Gu Chen who came to my Mount Juqu to steal mysterious yellow Qi to refine treasure was also suppressed and sealed by Emei's True Person Changmei.

"All this connected, we have no way not to suspect that the Blood God Child actually comes from the Emei Sect. Thus, we inquired about the news everywhere, and it didn't take much effort to find out a piece of news.

"True Person Changmei Ren Shou once had a direct junior brother, called Deng Yin. Before True Person Changmei ascended, this junior brother of his was expelled from the sect for violating the sect rules, and subsequently fell into the demonic path. This Deng Yin was gifted and intelligent, and was already Fifth-Rank before falling into the demonic path. After falling into the demonic path, his cultivation was still growing. Ren Shou captured him twice, but out of consideration for his fellow sect friendship and the demon's talent, he let him go twice, causing him to commit boundless killing, and finally captured him for the third time before he took a heavy hand.

"But the Sect Master and I suspect that Ren Shou did not kill him the third time. This Deng Yin should be the current Blood God Child!"

True Person Nengyue said.

"Is there any evidence?"

Dong Shouren asked.

True Person Nengyue continued, "This is an Immortal Realm demon! And he appeared out of thin air, never heard of before. If his background was not high, how could he cultivate to this point? Deng Yin was already Fifth-Rank before falling into the demonic path, and his talent was high. Falling into the demonic path, killing people to refine Dharma, and doing all kinds of evil, it is very possible to go a step further.

"And besides the Taiqing Daoist Dharma, flying swords, and the abnormal behavior of West Kunlun and Emei just mentioned, we also found one thing. After Deng Yin fell into the demonic path, he destroyed several sects, just to refine a supernatural power of demonic light and blood flame. This blood flame was emitted from his fingers, like a long rainbow, spreading extremely fast in the void, like sword light. It can absorb people's essence and blood and also burn the primordial spirit, which is exactly the same as the means I saw when our two immortals fought with that blood shadow!"

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 188 =====

"True Person Changmei, Ren Shou, once had a direct junior fellow apprentice named Deng Yin. Before True Person Changmei ascended, this junior fellow apprentice was expelled from the sect for violating sect rules, and subsequently fell into the demonic path. This Deng Yin was naturally intelligent; he was already in the Fifth Realm before falling into the demonic path, and his cultivation base continued to grow after doing so. Ren Shou captured him twice, but out of consideration for their fellow-apprentice relationship and the arch-fiend's natural talent, he released him twice, causing him to commit boundless killing sins. Only when he captured him for the third time did he finally steel his heart to kill him.

"But the Sect Master and I suspect that Ren Shou did not kill him the third time either; this Deng Yin is likely the current Blood God Child!"

True Person Nengyue said.

"Is there any further evidence?"

Dong Shouren asked.

True Person Nengyue then continued, "This is a fiend from the Immortal Realm! And he appeared out of nowhere, never having been heard of before. If his background were not high, how could he have achieved such cultivation? Deng Yin was already in the Fifth Realm before falling into the demonic path, and his natural talent was high. After falling into the demonic path, he killed people to refine his methods and committed every evil; it is very possible for him to have advanced further.

"Moreover, besides the aforementioned Shangqing Daoist methods, flying swords, and the abnormal actions of West Kunlun and Emei, we also discovered one thing: after falling into the demonic path, Deng Yin successively destroyed several sects, solely to refine a magical ability of demonic light and blood flames. These blood flames are emitted from his fingers like a long rainbow, and when they spread through the void, their speed is extremely fast, like sword light; they can absorb human essence and blood and also scorch the Primordial Spirit. This is exactly the same as the methods our sect's two immortals saw when they clashed with that blood shadow!"
