Chapter 523 Phoenix Abyss Cold Pool Five-Colored Saint Lord
"Instructions? You fools, have you long forgotten your duties?"
Unexpectedly, this prison official started with insults, but his arrogant attitude lessened considerably, and he spoke to the prisoner in the tone of a superior.
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord was completely baffled, so he became even more cautious.
"Senior, I wonder where this responsibility comes from?"
The prison king and spirit official immediately snorted coldly.
"Didn't you leave behind a black stele to record secrets? It must contain a lot of bad things about me, but don't forget, the original inhabitants of this world are the Ice Clan."
"Although there are some demons, they are not skilled in cultivation and are not a significant force. Therefore, both the demon cultivation system and the human cultivation system are taught by the immortal palace cultivators."
"In other words, you are all reserve talents of the Celestial Palace, and you have the responsibility of supervising the ancient demon sealing ground. Do I need to make it clearer?"
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord was immediately filled with confusion and hesitation.
It wasn't that he lacked willpower, but rather that the other party possessed the strength of a peak Void Refinement cultivator, and there was no need for him to explain politely; they could easily crush him, this little ant.
Unless... he can't make a move.
After this idea flashed through his mind, the Azure Dragon Demon Lord looked at the Five-Colored Saint Lord. He only had one life, so he decided to test the waters first.
So he asked.
"Is this also why you chose to serve your senior?"
"That's natural."
The Five-Colored Holy Lord had a benevolent expression and pointed a single finger at the Heavenly Dao.
"If it weren't for the sake of all living beings and the mission of the Celestial Palace, why would I have worked so diligently to do so many good deeds? The demon race all know the name of my benevolence!"
This is a lie.
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord didn't need to think at all; he could judge the problem through his rich life experience. The reason was simple: apart from righteous masters, there was no such person in the world.
Although there are many righteous people who engage in despicable acts and are often scoundrels, they are ultimately a minority. There are still many virtuous people who care about the world.
We cannot judge the good or evil of an entire population based on a few exceptional individuals; the principle is the same for all.
If the Five-Colored Holy Lord is an evil person, then what good can this Prison King Spirit Official be? Besides, humans are humans, while the inheritance of demons mostly comes from memories deep in their bloodline.
The "Azure Dragon Transformation Technique" he cultivated was the result of his bloodline's yearning for the true dragon bloodline, derived from his ancestors and ultimately engraved in his bloodline memory.
This will make it convenient for every rising star in his clan.
It has absolutely nothing to do with that so-called fairy palace, so that responsibility can't hold him back.
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord's thoughts raced through his mind.
At that time.
The Prison King Spirit Official seemed a little impatient, his tone becoming slightly more urgent: "Azure Dragon, have you thought it through before returning to the embrace of the Celestial Palace?"
The previous generation's Northern Demon Saint Lord suddenly revealed a fawning smile and explained.
"Senior, all cultivators like us desire is to ascend to the True Spirit Realm. If you can guarantee that I will ascend in the future, then any other requests will be made!"
"Of course..."
Before he finished speaking, the Azure Dragon Demon Lord suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning and sped off towards the outside of the Phoenix Abyss Cold Pool.
The promises made by the Prison King Spirit Official completely exposed his weakness and incompetence. If anyone had put themselves in his shoes, they would have thought that a Nascent Soul cultivator would make all sorts of demands of him.
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord would surely slap the other party away, sending them as far away as possible.
And ascend to heaven, leaving the Ice Prison Realm!
This is an ironclad rule set by the immortals, and no one can escape it at will. This prison king spirit official does not have the right to make decisions for the immortals.
Therefore, this pie was far too illusory in Qinglong's eyes; he was being tricked by the Ice Clan! He couldn't even react yet, despite all his years of experience as a demon.
A cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage suddenly fled.
The Five-Colored Holy Lord couldn't catch up at all, and seemed not to have expected that the other party would choose to run away so decisively, without any regard for shame.
Although he had other thoughts in his mind, he could not speak for the time being due to the presence of the Prison King Spirit Official, and instead asked with a forced smile.
"My lord, what should we do now?"
In the void beyond the world, the Prison King Spirit Official's expression was gloomy.
Just as Qinglong had predicted, he couldn't act freely in the Ice Prison Realm. Under the rules of immortals, the maximum power in this realm was the Nascent Soul stage.
It can even restrict the physical body of an ancient demon, let alone him.
Therefore, having the Prison King cultivate cultivators in the world for his use is one of the best methods of intervention.
The Five-Colored Saint Lord was merely a pawn in his game; many more powerful individuals, eager to serve him and truly join the Immortal Palace, remained hidden in the shadows for the time being.
"You are no match for him. Break through to the Nascent Soul stage first."
"There is a treasure here called the [Celestial-Human Communication Vine], which grows in a crack at the bottom of the cold pool. First, refine this treasure to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and then contact me."
"Understood."
After saying that, the spatial rift above the Five-Colored Saint Lord's head disappeared. As the person above left, his expression gradually returned to its coldness, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
"Still wary of this Holy Lord? Are you worried we'll put on an act and deceive him? How cautious..."
He already knew about the Heavenly Man's Divine Vine.
After all, this treasure was recorded in the secret scriptures of the demon race, and with his extensive reading, he had already seen it long ago.
But that thing might not be able to help him.
Whenever he thought of the "inferior" cultivation aptitude of the Medicine Horned Deer clan, he couldn't help but feel emotional. Even though he had evolved into a Five-Colored Deer, he was still only at the limit of the Earth Grade.
This bloodline is not even qualified to reach the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Unless he can evolve into a seven-colored deer, raising his bloodline to the limit of the Heavenly Grade in one fell swoop, and the cultivation technique he practices is also problematic, the Medicine Horned Deer clan has never produced a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Furthermore, there was no corresponding cultivation technique to inherit, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths to curry favor with the Prison King Lingguan. In his eyes, the other party could easily solve his current problems.
But he remained unmoved... This suggests that either the other party was bound by certain rules and could not pass on the knowledge to him, or they needed him to achieve more tangible results.
That concludes my thinking.
If that doesn't work, then he'll have to figure out how to betray the Prison King and achieve his goal.
With this in mind, the Five-Colored Holy Lord walked toward the edge of the icy pool.
at the same time.
When the fleeing Azure Dragon Demon Lord realized that no one was chasing him, he was somewhat surprised and quickly slowed down until he came to a complete stop.
Feeling the depletion of his demonic energy, which was aggravating his internal injuries, Azure Dragon had no choice but to accept it.
With such a major change occurring in the secret realm, it's practically impossible for him to stay here to recover. Besides, he has witnessed the changes within the secret realm itself.
It is known that this was caused by an outsider entering.
"Since the Five-Colored Holy Lord is the new Holy Lord of the Northern Demon Clan, he must have brought many powerful demons with him..."
As this thought flashed through his mind, the Azure Dragon Demon Lord suddenly froze, considering whether or not to seek refuge with the demon race.
They could hear faint conversations coming from not far away, and the voices kept getting louder.
…………
…………
About half an incense stick's time.
Wang Yu and his group arrived at Phoenix Abyss Cold Pool smoothly. The abundant frost spiritual energy here made him feel comfortable all over. According to the two kings' judgment, it was more likely that the Azure Dragon was in the Ice Demon Forest.
Therefore, Wang Yu decided to cultivate in the cold pool for a period of time.
The purpose was both to find the Divine Vine and to give himself time to devour the Ice Phoenix Corpse in order to obtain a new Heavenly Demon Transformation form. This matter was quite important.
Ice Phoenix possesses genuine spiritual bloodline.
The improvement that this level can bring is incomparable to that of a trivial item like the Extreme Yin Dragon Body. Even in the True Spirit Realm, it is a good thing that can be used all the way to the Integration and Mahayana stages.
The only problem now is that the innate demonic fetus body is only a special physique at the spirit level, corresponding to the Nascent Soul stage. Only by advancing it twice more can it reach the edge of the True Spirit Bloodline.
There is a gap between the two, which is an undeniable fact.
Therefore, Wang Yu was very worried that he might not be able to devour it, so he decided to start by trying a small piece of flesh and blood. If it succeeded, he would continue; if it failed, there was no need to mention it again.
After he left the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm and returned to the mountain gate.
Go to Evil Sword Peak to investigate further, find the source of the "Mysterious Origin Demon Embryo Secret Method", and then think about improving your physique, something you haven't needed before.
Moreover, the strongest beings in the Ice Prison Realm are Nascent Soul cultivators.
The innate demonic body has already reached the limit of the Ice Prison Realm, and the possibility of having a method to advance is actually not high, but it is still a clue.
Of course, these are all things for the future.
There's no need to worry too much for now; Wang Yu's attention is still focused on the Phoenix Abyss Cold Pool. He's still a long way from reaching the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.
Considering the special nature of this place, he suddenly asked.
"Junior Sister Yanling, would you like to sense it?"
She was perfectly aware of the hidden meaning in his words, and immediately activated the soul mark on her palm, closing her eyes to sense it.
King Fire Crow and King Thunder Kirin were puzzled.
Yet, they needed someone's help and dared not utter a word, so they could only wait foolishly on the sidelines.
After half an incense stick's time.
Yan Ling suddenly opened her eyes, her clear pupils filled with anger.
"Senior Brother Wang, this place should be where the fake phoenix imprisoned the real ice phoenix. It contains endless resentment and sorrow."
"Some of the flowing true blood of the Ice Phoenix created the environment of the Cold Pool and also condensed into a special kind of exotic spirit stone called the [Sorrowful Phoenix Ice Blood Stone]. It should be of great help to your cultivation."
Wang Yu nodded thoughtfully.
"Since it's an ice-attribute spiritual item, it will be of great use to you, so take 30% of it."
This is clearly a form of favor, since Wang Yu is the strongest here. According to the law of the demonic path, the strong can take everything.
The reason she received this 30% was because her intuition could guide her.
Of course, this is the obvious reason.
Yu Tangtang pouted and said, "What? This secret realm is full of ice-attribute spiritual items, and there's nothing that Tangtang can use."
"That's not necessarily true."
Wang Yu chuckled and ruffled her hair, his face full of affection.
The Fire Crow King suddenly asked.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, what were you talking about earlier regarding the fake Ice Phoenix and the real Ice Phoenix? And this icy pool..."
Yan Ling nodded and said seriously.
"The one who should be imprisoned is your true first Holy Lord, the True Spirit Ice Phoenix who should have led the demon race to a glorious era!"
The poor demon race seems to have encountered nothing but bad luck since they first met; it's truly bizarre.
The two kings fell silent, and no one knew what they were thinking. Just as everyone was about to set off, an unexpectedly loud, aged voice rang out, setting off Wang Yu's alarm bells.
"Fire Crow, Thunder Kirin Beast?"
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord leaped out of the icy pool and landed in front of everyone. None of them expected that the Demon Lord, whom they had been searching for so desperately, would appear before them so easily.
I could hardly believe my eyes.
The Fire Crow King reacted quickly, bursting into tears of joy.
"Holy Lord! We have finally found you!!"
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord remained calm. Having experienced the events surrounding the Five-Colored Holy Lord, he harbored a natural wariness towards the current Northern Demon Clan.
Who knows if it was a trap set by the King of Hell or the Spirit Official?
Moreover, there is also a special Nascent Soul cultivator...
Qinglong's gaze met Wang Yu's across the distance, and the latter quickly revealed a friendly smile, speaking at the same time.
"It seems that Senior Azure Dragon has encountered the Five-Colored Holy Lord. Judging from the current result, he has failed."
"oh?"
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord immediately became interested.
"How much do you, young human, know about this fiend?"
Upon hearing this...
Wang Yu glanced at the Fire Crow King and then at the Azure Dragon. He already had many guesses about what had happened to the other party, yet he didn't trust his own kind and instead asked him, an outsider.
After a moment of contemplation, he recounted all his impressions of the Five-Colored Holy Lord.
"He is cunning and difficult to see through, extremely ambitious and driven by desires. He is skilled at disguise and manipulating people's hearts, but his actual abilities are only average."
"Hmm, is that so?"
"—Holy Lord!"
The Fire Crow King seemed not to have grasped the Azure Dragon's attitude and eagerly recounted everything the Northern Demon Clan had encountered within the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm.
At the same time, he explained the situation of the Northern Demon Clan outside and the reason why the Five-Colored Holy Lord had tricked them into coming.
Wang Yu clearly saw that the Azure Dragon Demon Lord's forehead veins were bulging and his face was twitching incessantly, as if he had not expected the Northern Demon Clan to be in this situation.
"Fools, fools! How could the Northern Demon Clan have fallen into the hands of a bunch of fools like you? If I had known, I would have insisted on keeping the Fox Clan alive back then."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Xueyu suddenly popped out of the spirit pet pouch, blinked her pink eyes, and looked very pleased, clearly enjoying the old man's praise.
Wang Yu had no choice but to press it down and gave it a warning with his divine sense.
Let's keep watching the show.
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord cursed for a long time, making the two kings almost lower their heads to their crotches, before finally getting down to business. He turned to Wang Yu and said.
"Young human friend, are you a fifth-grade alchemist?"
"Well, I guess so. Due to the lack of fifth-order alchemy inheritance, I can only try to refine low-grade treasure pills."
"I do have a pill formula here. See if you can refine it."
Wang Yu took the obviously old scroll and unfolded it to take a look.
The above describes an ancient precious pill called the "Frosty Heaven Ghost God Pill," which is not a pill specifically for treating injuries; to be precise, its effects are rather unorthodox.
It turned out to be a precious elixir that could suppress true flames.
Wang Yu's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.
"Is this a precious elixir to extinguish the Heavenly Demon Flame?"
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord frowned.
"Yes, young friend seems to have some insights?"
"To be honest, senior, I was also once entangled by the power of the Heavenly Demon Flame, and I was only able to withstand it thanks to my immortal body and vigorous vitality."
"If we had this pill, why go through all that trouble?"
"So that's how it is."
