Chapter 6 This male protagonist is really hard to kill (6) Even monsters can't kill him...
The next day, Feng Fuli didn't notice anything amiss and simply asked him where he had gone the night before.
Wufeng said he was afraid of disturbing the Venerable One's cultivation, so he went to practice his skills on the nearby mountain.
It doesn't seem like he's lying.
But since the female lead was nearby, Fu Li felt it necessary to take some measures to keep things under control in order to prevent her from running away without his knowledge.
So he inserted a talisman into Wufeng's forehead. A sharp pain shot through him, but Wufeng simply lowered his head and endured it without making a sound.
Fu Li said, "This mark allows me to sense your location at any time, so that we won't get lost in the secret realm."
It's as if it's for his own good, but in fact, from then on, as long as Fu Li wanted, he could see what Wu Feng saw, hear who Wu Feng was talking to, and share his five senses with him.
However, it is one-way, used only as a means of monitoring when there is no wind.
The boy was completely unaware of this. Upon hearing Fu Li's words, his eyes brightened, and he bowed happily and gratefully, saying, "Thank you, Your Excellency!"
After completing the preparations, Fu Li waved his sleeve and, together with Wu Feng, transformed into wind and left through the window, heading directly to the entrance of the secret realm to await the time of its opening.
So, when Guiyanzong and his group were about to set off, Jiao Yuetong went upstairs with a nervous heart to knock on the door to ask Wufeng if he was willing to enter the secret realm with them, only to find that the people inside had already left, leaving behind a wide-open window and sunlight streaming in.
Feng Fuli led Wufeng to a quiet spot and waited patiently for the secret realm to open.
More and more cultivators gathered around, and even a number of disciples from the demonic sects appeared.
Since the massacre of Xue Qinan, the Demon Slayer, and his family more than a decade ago, and the tragic slaughter of the Guiyan Sect by the demon race, the righteous forces in the cultivation world have been inferior to the demon realm. Even the demonic sects, who are considered lackeys of the demon race, can now openly appear in public.
Although the righteous cultivators deeply resented them, the Demon Realm was too powerful, so they could only swallow their anger and keep their distance from those demon cultivators who were clearly dressed and carried sinister magical artifacts.
As the architect of this situation, Demon Lord Feng Fuli remained hidden in the shadows, tapping lightly on the stone chair beneath her with her fingers. Her bright and sharp fox eyes narrowed as she pondered her plan.
Soon, Qi Yue and Jiao Yuetong, along with a few others, arrived at the scene and joined the other disciples of Guiyan Sect. They gathered together and chatted excitedly.
The girl, however, seemed distracted, looking around as if searching for someone.
Upon seeing this, Fu Li subconsciously glanced at Wu Feng. The boy stood quietly behind him, his gaze cold and sharp, constantly watching his surroundings warily, but never once lingering on Jiao Yuetong.
After several days of testing, Feng Fuli was satisfied that Wufeng had not yet developed feelings for the female lead, but there was still an important step to take to change the plot and her own fate.
As the daylight hours passed, the moon became the most dazzling star in the sky.
A tranquil, silvery-white light spilled across the ground, gently illuminating this corner of the world.
Everyone held their breath and waited.
When the moon finally climbed directly overhead, a beam of moonlight shone on a blank mountain wall. Suddenly, a spiritual light appeared, and a circular opening appeared in the center of the mountain wall, about three zhang in diameter, emitting a soft white light. That white light was the surging spiritual energy overflowing from it.
Daoqing Secret Realm is the transformed cave dwelling of Daoqing Immortal Venerable before his ascension. It opens every sixty years, when the moon is at its zenith on the fifteenth of the fifth month, sensing the moonlight, and closes again after another fifteen days.
Even for cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, there are many good things inside.
Upon seeing the entrance to the secret realm, the cultivators from the nearest sect immediately flew in on their swords. They proclaimed loudly, "Fellow Daoists, we'll go first. Once inside, life and death, wealth and honor, will depend on our own abilities!"
The other cultivators followed suit on their swords, transforming into streaks of light and disappearing into the mountainside.
Some people from various sects and factions remained outside to provide support. After all, there were many treasures in the secret realm, and it was impossible to say whether there would be wicked people guarding the entrance to the secret realm and waiting for the people inside to come out so they could take the opportunity to kill and plunder the treasures.
These are concerns that only cultivators below the Refinement stage would have, and are completely unnecessary for a Demon Lord who has already entered the Tribulation Transcending stage.
Before the first group of people went in, he had already led Wufeng through the entrance, but because his cultivation was too high and his speed too fast, no one noticed.
The entrance to the secret realm is randomly teleported.
After landing, Fu Li found that they had been teleported to a hillside, with a huge rock not far away.
Fu Li released his grip on the collar of the coat, unleashed his divine sense, and compared it with the map of the secret realm in his sea of consciousness to confirm that they were located in the southern part of the secret realm.
The spiritual spring that can cleanse the male protagonist's immortal bones is located at the easternmost end of the secret realm, which is quite far from here.
Fu Li felt better.
He turned around and saw the male protagonist looking warily into the distance, like a loyal guard.
"Your Excellency, what do you see there?"
Following his gaze, Fu Li discovered that the boulder was actually a gigantic monster.
He pondered for a moment and said, "That's a Copper-Armed Crystal Fire Beast. It has six claws and three eyes, and its body is covered with a shell as hard as a rock wall, which is not easily broken by ordinary swords and spells. In the Demon Realm, there are far more demonic beasts that cultivate with demonic energy than monsters, so it's normal that you haven't seen it before."
Wu Feng humbly replied, "Yes."
Feng Fuli's eyes suddenly lit up with interest. "This demon beast is of good quality. If we can refine its demon core, it will definitely increase our cultivation level."
Seeing his interest, Wufeng immediately volunteered, "Your Excellency, this disciple will fetch the demon core right away."
Feng Fuli smiled faintly at him: "Such a large bronze-armed crystal fire beast has a cultivation level comparable to a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator. You are only at the Great Perfection of Core Formation. Have you ever defeated it?"
Wu Feng's eyes were firm: "This disciple will do his best and will not fail in his mission! Your Excellency, please wait here and be careful not to soil your clothes."
With such an understanding subordinate, Feng Fuli naturally agreed without hesitation.
Wufeng opened his hand, condensing demonic energy into a pair of crescent blades, which he then wielded in his palm, and attacked the demon beast like the wind.
Knowing that the Copper Arm Crystal Fire Beast's shell was not easily broken, Wu Feng keenly observed the location of its eyes and precisely inserted his twin blades.
However, Feng Fuli said that the Copper Arm Crystal Fire Beast has three eyes.
Just as Wufeng was about to attack its last eye, located in the center of its forehead, the Crystal Fire Beast, which had been ambushed, suddenly awoke. Feeling the intense pain, it immediately struggled, its six powerful claws, each large enough for three people to encircle, flailing wildly in the air. Its last remaining eye emitted a ferocious killing intent as it glared fiercely at Wufeng.
Just as the boy was about to be thrown off and trampled into a pulp, he performed a beautiful backflip, landing from in front of the monster's head onto its back. The demonic blade did not completely detach from the monster's eye; instead, it extended from the tip into a whip-like shape with a hook at the end, the hook deeply embedded in the monster's pupil. Wufeng still gripped the demonic blade tightly, constantly pulling the whip, causing the monster beneath him to howl in agony and bleed profusely.
To be able to transform demonic energy into weapons, and even to be able to change them at will like this, is something that ordinary demonic cultivators would find impossible to do until they reach the mid-to-late Nascent Soul stage.
Feng Fuli, who was watching from a distance, noticed this and narrowed his eyes slightly, his pupils showing not only apprehension but also a hint of surprise.
Why does it feel like this kid has been practicing a lot behind my back?
But his thinking was completely unfounded. After all, all he did over the years was enjoy himself and try to set traps for the male protagonist. He never personally taught him how to cultivate, nor did he care about how far he had progressed in his cultivation.
Wufeng nimbly dodged the Crystalfire Beast's attacks from its back, while manipulating demonic energy to penetrate deeper into the beast's eyes. It seemed to have the upper hand for the time being.
However, at this moment, the Crystal Fire Beast suddenly calmed down, and then a ball of blazing red light swelled up inside its body, even its outer shell was scorched.
It finally remembered its trump card.
Upon realizing something was wrong, Wufeng immediately jumped off its back and withdrew its demonic energy.
In the blink of an eye, the Crystal Fire Beast had transformed into a red, fiery beast. Flames erupted from beneath its iron-hard shell, resembling burning soil in a purgatory. It was a truly magnificent sight.
The two eyes, pierced by Wufeng, closed tightly, bleeding even more crimson blood. The third eye stared at Wufeng with hatred, vowing revenge.
The next moment, a fireball shot out of its mouth and flew straight toward Wufeng, who had no time to dodge.
At this critical moment, Wufeng was immediately enveloped in black demonic energy. Without dodging, he rushed towards the fireball.
This was a full-force attack from a Core Formation Realm demon beast, and what it spat out was not ordinary fire but the inextinguishable and extremely powerful Samadhi True Fire. Feng Fuli knew all this, but he neither told Wufeng beforehand nor did he intend to help.
In the instant after the collision, a fiery figure, shrouded in wisps of black mist, burst out of the fireball and, following the trajectory of the fireball, crashed directly into the monster's mouth.
Feng Fuli raised her eyebrows.
The bronze-armed crystal fire beast was stunned for a moment, seemingly not understanding what was happening. The next moment, it suddenly began to scratch wildly with its six claws, struggling on the spot, and its cries became more and more miserable. After struggling for half an incense stick's time, it suddenly collapsed to the ground and did not move.
Before long, a blood-soaked figure emerged from the monster's gaping maw. Clutching something glowing in its hand, and with Samadhi True Fire burning on its body, it stumbled and crawled out.
Feng Fuli walked over and saw the man kneeling in front of him, raising his right hand to reveal a dazzling, fiery red demon core that strangely matched the flames still burning on his body.
"Your Excellency... I have retrieved the demon core for you." Even at this point, he still managed to speak with difficulty.
Feng Fuli's expression was subtle.
Just then, the system, which had been silent, spoke up:
[The male protagonist of this world has been detected to be in mortal danger and is relatively close to the host. Please proceed to his rescue as soon as possible.]
The reason Wufeng didn't make a sound when it was fighting the monster was because the male protagonist was able to eliminate the monster smoothly. But now Wufeng is on the verge of death, and the Samadhi True Fire on its body has not been extinguished. If Fu Li doesn't take action, it will really be burned to death!
A hint of impatience flashed across Feng Fuli's face, and she extinguished the fire on the boy with a wave of her hand.
After casting a cleansing spell on him to make him look less shabby, he threw him a bottle of healing elixir.
"This disciple thanks Your Excellency for saving me," Wu Feng said gratefully as he accepted the medicine.
Aside from helping him put out the fire and giving him a bottle of medicine, Feng Fuli remained a cold observer throughout the entire process.
He killed the demon beast himself, and he also took out the demon core himself.
The weakness of the Copper Arm Crystal Fire Beast is actually its three eyes, and the fire-breathing vacuum that appears inside its body after it breathes fire. During this time, you can attack its body through its mouth and kill it.
However, Feng Fuli didn't say a word to Wufeng; Wufeng judged all of this based on his own observation and experience.
Feeling somewhat regretful that the other party hadn't lost any limbs or anything, Fu Li took the demon core that Wu Feng had wiped clean and handed over, examined it against the sunlight for a moment, and then put it into the alchemy furnace in her storage bag.
"I remember you were able to kill the nine-headed demonic phoenix on your own three years ago, so why are you not doing so well against one with only one head today?" Fu Li said with a hint of sarcasm.
The Nine-Headed Demon Phoenix corresponds to a cultivator's realm that is roughly in the mid-to-late stage of Core Formation, but it has the word "demon" in its name, which makes it sound more powerful.
Moreover, Wufeng spent a full two months fighting the Nine-Headed Phoenix and made thorough preparations before finally killing it.
Not only was the Copper-Armed Crystal Fire Beast more powerful, but Wu Feng had no prior knowledge of this kind of monster.
Because His Majesty was watching from the side, Wu Feng was too eager to succeed and acted even more recklessly. Apart from being a little exhausted and having some burns on his body, he was actually in very good shape.
However, Wufeng maintained his usual attitude of admitting his mistakes and said, "It is because this disciple's cultivation is not good enough that I have disgraced Your Excellency."
Feng Fuli snorted and looked into the distance. "Hurry up and heal your wounds. I still have some places to take you."
