A handsome young Taoist priest sat cross-legged above the blood pool for three days and three nights without even lifting his eyelids. Below him, the blood pool, which was several meters in diameter, was almost dry, and in it sat a young man with a strong physique and no clothes on.
The two had almost identical facial features, without the slightest difference, like brothers. No, their intimacy was even greater, because their breathing rhythms were almost identical.
"It's done?"
Elder Zhong of Jiuwei Mountain looked at the figure sitting cross-legged on the blood pool with a complicated expression. At first glance, it seemed ordinary and had no magical power fluctuations. However, upon closer inspection, one could sense the ferocious blood energy hidden within that strong body, as fierce as a wild dragon.
What distressed Elder Jiuwei Mountain the most was that the enormous blood energy, which was clearly remarkable, gradually disappeared from his perception over time. This was not because the blood energy of that figure was decaying, but because he could no longer sense it.
Although the spiritual artifact reminded him that this was a characteristic of the Myriad Transformations Demon Embryo, it was not enough to reassure him; in fact, it made him feel even more fearful, because this demon embryo had never truly cultivated.
Even under the control of that Supreme Daoist, he could only cultivate some demonic body-refining methods that could temper his physique, but he couldn't even sense those anymore.
The Myriad Transformations Demon Embryo before us has fallen into the control of the Supreme Daoist, but what about the other demon embryos? This is not the only one. Theoretically, if there are enough resources, those demonic cultivators can refine demon embryos without limit.
If even one powerful figure in the demonic path possesses such a demonic embryo and cultivates it into an avatar to infiltrate a sect, he wouldn't know how to identify it.
The more one thought about it, the more terrifying it became; even a mortal immortal felt a chill run down their spine. In that case, the actions of that senior with the magical artifact were correct, albeit somewhat domineering.
However, what is somewhat comforting is that those remnants of the demonic path who were expelled from the Nine Provinces were notoriously poor. Even if the demonic fetus had no restrictions, resources would still be their biggest constraint.
Under such circumstances, if those remnants of the demonic path wanted to take advantage of the characteristics of the demonic fetus to infiltrate the immortal sects, their first choice would definitely be the twelve sects of the Xuanmen. As for the Nine Weishan Mountain, those remnants of the demonic path might not have even heard of it.
"It should be over by now!"
Another elder from Jiuwei Mountain spoke with a similarly complicated expression. After witnessing the characteristics displayed by the demonic fetus, he also had many thoughts.
Whew~
Under the tense yet expectant gazes of the disciples, tinged with a strange excitement, the demonic fetus, outwardly indistinguishable from Feng Bingwen's true form, exhaled a breath of qi, slowly opened its eyelids, revealing deep, dark eyes!
"Congratulations, Daoist! You have successfully turned this demonic fetus into your own power, greatly increasing your combat strength!"
Although some minor conflicts had occurred a few days ago, the two elders still offered their congratulations and blessings when Feng Bingwen opened his eyes.
In any case, these are all true avatars. Although theoretically, one can create an avatar at the Cave Profound Realm, most cultivators at this level are alone, for no other reason than lack of money.
Incarnations are something only the direct descendants of prestigious sects have the resources to create. Ordinary cultivators simply cannot afford the enormous amount of resources required.
For the Supreme Dao, where everyone is a wealthy immortal, the issue of cultivation resources is never a concern. It's simply not a problem for them. Feng Bingwen finds it hard to understand why the Dongxuan cultivators are troubled by this!
"It's just a demonic fetus. Whether it can come back is unknown. It might be killed as soon as it's thrown over. My primordial spirit would be completely wasted!"
Feng Bingwen was not pleased by the congratulations, as the risks were indeed quite high.
If the primordial spirit he severed is destroyed as a result, he will also suffer damage, and for a certain period of time, his cultivation will stagnate and he will not be able to make any progress.
Of course, as a young cultivator who is not even an adult by mortal standards, he has the time and can afford to waste it. Moreover, compared to the slightly greater risk, the enormous merit he accumulates is enough for him to act impulsively.
From those demonic cultivation methods, one can see that every single one of those demonic cultivators is utterly sinful. In other words, to Feng Bingwen, they are walking gift packages of good deeds.
As for how much merit one can gain from this gift pack, it depends on how many lives the demonic cultivators who were killed had cruelly murdered in their lifetime, and even how much damage they had caused to this world.
"The Daoist's fortune is flourishing, and he will surely turn misfortune into good fortune on this journey, and repeat the glorious feat of the ancient sages who destroyed the demonic sect!"
"Haha, I have no expectation of repeating the great achievements of my predecessors. If I can kill more demonic cultivators and appease those wronged souls, that will be enough!"
Feng Bingwen laughed and said that he didn't even want to think about destroying a sect. He thought about what cultivation level the Dao Lord had back then and what his cultivation level was now. Such a wonderful thing was just something he could dream about.
"Daozi is of noble character!"
Hearing Feng Bingwen's words, even those old cultivators who had lived for hundreds of years felt a sense of respect.
"Let's go, this is not a safe place to stay!"
Feng Bingwen's demonic avatar stood up and spoke.
The flesh and fascia that covered the entire cave had withered and dried up as the demonic embryo took shape, and were no longer supported by the surging life essence.
Meanwhile, following Feng Bingwen's orders, the fire spirits that had been sweeping through the entire demon cave had almost completely purified the place.
After all, it was a fire spirit that wielded the true fire of the sun. Even compared to a real golden crow, it was not much different, except that it lacked the support of a flesh and blood body.
"I wonder how well the gods have cleaned up this place, and how many of those drought demons they cultivated have been killed!"
Upon hearing Feng Bingwen's greeting, the cultivators from Jiuwei Mountain immediately complied. This place had lost its value, and even the evil energy that had been deliberately collected and gathered here had been almost completely eliminated. Although there were some remnants, they were insignificant.
"This is their territory. They didn't know before, but now that they do, they've probably already cleared it out!"
Listening to the discussion among the cultivators, Feng Bingwen reached out and summoned back the Fire Spirit. Then he looked at the avatar he was holding up beside him. This avatar had no magic power and only a barely commendable physique.
"Does anyone know the exact locations of those demonic sects that were banished to the outer realms?"
Feng Bingwen suddenly thought of a crucial question: this world, while not large for beings like Celestial Immortals who could tear through the void at will, was truly vast and boundless for a minor cultivator like him.
Asking him to control an avatar that can't even fly to find a demonic sect without giving him a specific location is simply making things difficult for him, because it's an impossible task.
"You don't know either?"
Several cultivators from Jiuwei Mountain looked at each other in bewilderment. Having already left the ground, their movements slowed down, and their expressions turned somewhat grim.
They don't even know where the enemy's mountain gate is; what kind of infiltration is this?
"You're not going to tell me you didn't know about the idea that came up with you, are you?"
Feng Bingwen looked at the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel with a somewhat unfriendly expression.
"Of course I know that, but I only know of one place, and it's called the Supreme Demon Sect. It's been destroyed, and now only ruins remain. I have to say, you were born a generation too late!"
Wu Xing Tian Lun sighed, still in his old-fashioned tone, which made Feng Bingwen unconsciously clench his fists a little tighter.
Are you making fun of me?
Feng Bingwen's face turned completely dark.
"Boy, you were the one who started this mess!"
The Five Elements Heavenly Wheel remained completely unmoved by Feng Bingwen's anger, as if it hadn't even been seen.
"If I knew the exact location of any demonic sect's mountain gate, would you even need to go and infiltrate it? Would I need to just gather a dozen celestial immortals and wipe them out?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Feng Bingwen fell silent.
The once glorious demonic path of the Middle Ages has now fallen to the same level as rats in a sewer. Once exposed to the light, they will surely perish. If the location of their sect is revealed, they will be wiped out in an instant.
"The reason why the Supreme Demonic Sect was wiped out back then was because the demonic thoughts that the Dao Lord had severed had risen to a high enough position and knew the exact location of the sect!"
The Five Elements Heavenly Wheel delivered this cruel news to Feng Bingwen.
For the demonic path, revealing the exact location of their sect is tantamount to annihilation. Therefore, they hide their sects more and more deeply. Even among sects with tens of thousands of members, perhaps only a handful of people know their location.
"So, all my efforts in cultivating this demonic avatar were for nothing?"
Feng Bingwen regained his composure. At worst, he could just withdraw his primordial spirit. It would only be a waste of a few days and he would have taken a sword strike along the way. It wouldn't be a big loss.
"No, that's not it. Since I gave you this idea, I naturally have a way to get you in, but you'll need to work on it yourself!"
"Um?"
"Since those remnants of the demonic path have established sects, it means they still need new blood. We don't know the location of their sects, but we do know something about the Human-Beast Kingdom where they select their disciples!"
"The country of humans and animals!"
Feng Bingwen narrowed his eyes slightly. The last time he went to the demon territory, he also saw a demon kingdom outside the region. What he saw there was a scene of humans and demons living in relative harmony. Although there were hidden dangers, it was much better than the rumored human kingdoms where humans would be reduced to being eaten by animals.
"That's right, all I can do is send you there. Whether you can become a disciple and join the sect after that depends on your own efforts. If you're unlucky and are chosen as food by a powerful demon king, then there's nothing I can do!"
The Five Elements Heavenly Wheel said rather irresponsibly that this was the limit of what he could do, and he didn't know any more information, otherwise he wouldn't have encouraged this little guy.
"If you regret it, it's not too late!"
"We've come this far, and you're telling me I can back out?"
Feng Bingwen sneered. What a joke! He had paid a heavy price. If he didn't get it back from those remnants of the demonic path, he would really suffer a huge loss.
"Send this avatar over there right now!"
"You really think highly of this old man, kid!"
Upon hearing Feng Bingwen's words, the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel began to murmur, but its actions were not slow either. An unprecedentedly magnificent immortal light erupted, and fine spatial cracks appeared one after another.
"However, this old fellow certainly won't let you down!"
"Does this old man really have the ability to teleport across continents?"
Feng Bingwen was startled for a moment, but then calmed down. It wasn't surprising that the old man had this ability; otherwise, how could he have helped him escape at the crucial moment?
"Get out of here!"
The magnificent and boundless immortal light fell upon Feng Bingwen's body, and without wasting words with him, it directly enveloped him, shattered the void, crashed into it, and finally disappeared into the endless darkness.
The powerful fluctuations spread far and wide, instantly shattering the clouds in all directions and attracting the attention of several powerful beings. Before long, divine lights of various colors shone from all directions, and many strange phenomena appeared.
"What happened?"
Something has been taken away!
"I sense the aura of the demonic path!"
"Stop them! Anyone who dares to cause trouble in Donghua Prefecture will not leave alive!"
"Hmph, you can't leave! It's not that easy!"
