Chapter 536 Two Parallel Explanations of the Origin of the Demonic Embryo
In addition to the tasks assigned by the sect, such records are also kept on file, especially the part about background investigation.
The records are even more detailed than the sect's history.
However, when a cultivator's power reaches its peak, the authenticity of the records becomes questionable. Back then, Jiu Xie had just broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage and had not yet had time to acquire a higher status.
He died at the hands of demons in Fengzhou.
His relevant information could be retrieved, and the Lord of Evil Sword Mountain dared not disobey Wang Yu's order, so he hurriedly took him to the archives to search for it.
After half an incense stick's time.
A jade slip containing divine sense was quickly delivered to Wang Yu's hands.
[Nine Evils Sword Lord, whose real name is Guo Qiu, is from Fangshan City in Qiongzhou. He was born with a superior spiritual root and was sent to a sect by his father and brothers. At the age of 50, he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage and officially began to cultivate the "Slaying Evil Demon Sword Scripture", devouring the essence of others to increase his cultivation.]
At the age of 180, he killed the young ancestor of the Fire Demon Palace and seized the Core Formation spiritual item. Half a year later, he broke through to the Core Formation stage... At the age of 524, after returning from the Guiming Ruins, his innate talent reached its peak. He won the Nascent Soul Breakthrough Spiritual Item at the Wanbaolou Heaven-level Auction.
[Three years later, he formally achieved Nascent Soul stage, becoming one of the patriarchs of Evil Sword Peak. From then on, he took many wives and concubines. His principal wife was the third daughter of the Zhuo family's Sacred Stone lineage, and he had twenty-six concubines… He disappeared at the beginning of the Great War between Good and Demon. (Note: He is most likely dead; the culprit is unknown, but is suspected to be the Northern Demon Clan.)]
The information can be described as rough but just right.
He had clearly recorded several important milestones in the other person's life, among which the four words "Remains of the Underworld" clearly attracted his attention.
"Lord of Evil Sword Mountain, where is this Guiming Ruins located?"
The old man leaned closer to take a look and pondered.
"This ruin is actually already ruined..." Before he could finish speaking, he saw the warning look in Wang Yu's eyes and quickly changed the subject.
"This place belongs to the territory of the Mingshan Sect, located on the islands of the South China Sea. Since Jiu Xie returned from this place, the ruins have been abandoned, and I don't know the specific reason."
Only then did Wang Yu withdraw his menacing gaze.
The Heavenly Sea Ancient Sect is also located in the Chaotic Ancient Sea, specifically in the East Sea. However, the advancement of the "Mysterious Origin Demon Embryo Secret Technique" is of great importance, so no matter how far away it is, I must go there in person to take a look.
Therefore, the next route should be south into the sea, then northeast, until reaching the Tianhai Ancient Sect.
I just went through the plan in my mind.
Suddenly, a loud laugh rang out from outside the hall, and a familiar figure pushed open the door and entered, his gaze immediately locking onto Wang Yu.
"Brother Wang, how have you been since we last met?"
"Zuoqiu Ming?"
The period of collaboration with the three masters of Ni Ling occupied a large part of Wang Yu's life, and Zuo Qiuming was the one he respected the most.
Now that Zhuo Shouqing is dead, Yu Xing and his elder sister have gone missing in the desolate ancient plains, and Zuo Qiuming is also confined to his old home in Xianyin due to the war situation and is not allowed to go out.
Over time, the two had not seen each other for many years.
Wang Yu was somewhat surprised to meet him at this unexpected moment. He looked at the middle-aged, peak Core Formation cultivator and noticed his hair, which changed color every day and was never the same.
Now, his hair is neatly tied up, and his clothes, which used to expose his chest, are now tightly closed. His voice has lost its unrestrained and rebellious quality and has become more mature.
Although his nature has not changed, his way of dealing with people and things has clearly become more methodical, and he has obviously been tempered by reality.
"Let's go, let's talk somewhere else."
Wang Yu put his arm around Zuo Qiuming's shoulder and walked out together. The Evil Sword Mountain Master stared blankly at the backs of the two, a little thought just beginning to form in his mind.
He quickly pressed the button, constantly reminding himself not to overstep the boundaries. The fact that the other party was investigating Jiu Xie's affairs clearly indicated that it was related to him.
He had also heard about the feud between the two.
"The Secret Realm of Returning to the Underworld... It's none of my business, so I won't worry about it."
Muttering to himself, the Lord of Evil Sword Mountain acted as if Wang Yu had never been there, continuing with his usual activities without any change.
Outside Evil Sword Peak.
Zuo Qiuming looked at Wang Yu with a complicated expression and said.
"Things have changed. You and I are from two different worlds now. I am far inferior to you. Let's forget about eating and drinking. I came to see you on someone else's behalf."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu frowned immediately.
He wasn't actually that kind of person, but the gap between the Nascent Soul stage and the Core Formation stage was indeed too great, and his enemy, Zuo Qiuming, couldn't withstand it.
Being too close will only hurt the other person.
Especially the Crimson Heaven Demon Lord, he is still a big problem. Even if he wanted to get rid of him, there was no suitable opportunity for the time being.
None of the three top families of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect could withstand being targeted by a Nascent Soul cultivator. What these families feared most was a lone, powerful individual.
They'll suddenly do something really tough, and nobody can stand that.
Thinking about this...
Wang Yu said, "Very well, I haven't finished dealing with my own troubles yet. Getting too close to you could very well cause you trouble."
Zuo Qiuming assumed Wang Yu was joking, since he didn't know what level Wang Yu's cultivation had reached and thought he was still in the Nascent Soul stage.
This level of trouble was nothing for Zuoqiu Shi to worry about.
Let's get back to the main topic.
"By the way, this is a message from a female cultivator who asked me to give it to you. She said she has something important to discuss with you."
Zuo Qiuming handed over an encrypted jade slip containing divine consciousness, which carried a strong aura of malevolent demonic intent. Only then did Wang Yu realize what he had forgotten.
Dou Zhao!
The hundred years that had been agreed upon when they parted years ago had long passed, and he had also been away from the ancestral land of the Northern Demon Clan for a long time. He really did not expect that the other party would find Zuo Qiuming to deliver a message to him.
It's truly absurd to have forgotten about my disciple.
Given that kind of pressure, it was inevitable that he wouldn't notice such a small thing. The reason he chose to take Dou Zhao as his disciple and even taught her the secret method of the demon fetus was because of that.
If you say he's fond of teaching others, that's definitely not true!
It is true that Wang Yu appreciated the character and will that Dou Zhao displayed during the various events he experienced back then.
This is also one of the reasons why Wang Yu is certain that this woman will definitely grow up as long as she gets a real opportunity. Coincidentally, he himself will become that opportunity.
But these are only some of the reasons. Wang Yu's real intention in teaching her the secret method of the demonic fetus was also to imitate people like Jiu Xie and Fu Xiao.
Treat it as a backup for consumption!
It became a crucial moment that propelled his physical strength to further enhance, but the "strong bond" that happened later changed his mind a little, just like how he was willing to let Tao Sixuan leave.
Wang Yu has his own set of rules for doing things.
Whether you call him evil or hypocritical, he follows his own choices in making any decisions, and he is fundamentally different from most demonic cultivators with twisted personalities.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Yu asked.
Where is she?
"Wait at Wanbao City."
"I understand. By the way... could you help me investigate information about the Netherworld Secret Realm? Ideally, I'd like to have news within ten days."
"Leave it to me."
Zuo Qiuming made his promise and left quickly without asking how to deliver the intelligence to him, his carelessness unchanged from before.
Seeing this, Wang Yu shook his head helplessly.
After sending a secret message to the Blood Demon Palace, he left without looking back. Apart from the Demon Star Scheme that the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect had set up ten thousand years ago, there was no other sect there.
There are really not many things that can attract him.
The only decent option is the fifth-tier spiritual vein. The Blood Demon Palace Master is also a natural ally, and he will definitely play a significant role in the future. Maintaining this relationship is still very important.
As for fighting to the death with the Sword Sect for the sake of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect or the Crimson Kite Sect, there is no need for that at the moment.
What he needs is something that the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect can hardly provide.
Ultimately.
Its foundation still cannot compare with that of a demonic sect like the Refining Heaven Demon Sect, and it cannot support two Nascent Soul cultivators. This is why the Blood Demon Palace Master did not stop him from leaving.
The two have maintained a good understanding, and as long as they remain strategically aligned, it will benefit both of them.
…………
…………
Half a day later.
The once vast Blood Abyss Prefecture is now somewhat small for Wang Yu. If they were to fight each other at the same cultivation level, it could destroy half of the prefecture.
Only desolate, uninhabited areas like the Endless Ice Plains are suitable for Nascent Soul cultivators to fight; otherwise, the resulting destruction would be a loss that the territory's owner would find difficult to bear.
Wanbao City, Fuxin Building.
Using his spiritual power to perceive the entire city and bypass the restrictions set up by Wanbaolou, Wang Yu discreetly entered the city and easily found Dou Zhao's location.
Over the years, her transformation has been nothing short of earth-shattering.
The pink ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) that she used to love wearing has been replaced by a smart black corset with red butterfly patterns. Her long black hair is tied up high, making her look exceptionally dashing.
Her once alluring eyes, shimmering with moisture, were now as deep and unfathomable as an ancient well, her gaze cautiously scanning everything around her.
It's like constantly assessing risks and escape routes.
The lower half of her face was covered by the Earth Demon Mask, a mask that looked like a ferocious demon, adding to her evil and aggressive nature. It only took her a hundred years to transform from a pure white girl into a cold-blooded demonic cultivator.
Wang Yu was also very satisfied with the speed at which his cultivation had improved.
In a flash, she quietly appeared behind Dou Zhao, her head lowered, close to her earlobe, which was her most sensitive area.
"Just entered the mid-stage of Core Formation, not bad speed."
Suddenly someone appeared at such close range.
Dou Zhao's pupils narrowed, a ruthless glint flashing across his face. Just as he was about to unleash a desperate attack, Wang Yu grabbed his wrist, and he sighed.
"More than a hundred years have passed, and you don't even recognize your master anymore?"
Dou Zhao was stunned. She turned around abruptly and saw a handsome young man dressed in white. Her eyes instantly reddened.
He said it with a trembling voice.
"It's been over a hundred years. I've been to the Northern Demon Clan and secretly returned to Shuiyun Immortal Capital, but under the rule of the Demonic Path, it has long lost its former appearance."
"Later, I inquired about your past deeds and that's how I found Zuo Qiuming. Master... have you forgotten Zhao'er?"
Wang Yu remained calm.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I was just delayed by something."
At that time.
Xueyu suddenly sprang out of the Demon-Locking Bracelet. During the fifty years that Wang Yu had been in seclusion, she had also successfully completed the advancement of her bloodline, from the lower level of the Heavenly Rank to the peak of the Heavenly Rank through the advancement of the Human Desire Technique.
If we go any further, we can become an ancient remnant species.
It possesses the bloodline of a ferocious beast, and has grown an eighth tail, just one step away from reverting to its ancestral form as a nine-tailed celestial fox.
This step is difficult to achieve even with numerous bloodline treasures; at least in the Ice Prison Realm, the probability of doing so is zero. Currently, Xueyu has almost reached the bottleneck of her bloodline.
His cultivation level is still in the mid-stage of the fourth rank, roughly equivalent to a human cultivator at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage. The reason he can cultivate so quickly is entirely due to the enhancement of his bloodline.
From now on, it will depend on her own efforts.
certainly.
With the path of bloodline temporarily blocked, the clever Xueyu naturally had other ways to "exploit" her master and eventually make him submit. There were still many things to take care of before leaving the Crimson Kite Demon Realm.
One of the more anticipated events is visiting the Red Dust Old Demon of the Joyful Union Demon Sect, as she feels it would be appropriate to obtain a few dual cultivation techniques and secret arts.
It suddenly appeared and started chattering away at Dou Zhao.
"Sister Zhao'er, you're finally back. You have no idea how many dangers your master has gone through during this time. Those Nascent Soul cultivators are all more ruthless than the last."
"With Master's small frame, how could he withstand it? It was all thanks to your sister Xueyu's painstaking efforts and full use of the fox clan's intelligence that Master was able to overcome one difficulty after another."
"The hardships you've endured over the past century are the same ones your master went through, and perhaps even more. If you want to be your master's apprentice, you must be able to withstand them, don't you agree?"
Before Wang Yu could stop her, he heard Xue Yu spouting a string of lies. Except for the last sentence, which was somewhat plausible, the rest of her statements were full of flaws.
The key point is that Dou Zhao didn't spend much time with the two of them.
At that time, he was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so he was naturally completely outmatched by Xue Yu, who was already at the fourth level. Now that this has happened, he really can't handle it.
For a moment, he even started to stutter.
"Really??"
"--real!"
The unexpected intervention of a third party saved Wang Yu a lot of trouble. He didn't know how much time had passed before the two women returned, laughing and chatting.
It was already evening.
After ordering a large table of spiritual food at the restaurant, Wang Yu listened to Dou Zhao recount her experiences over the past hundred years while pondering how to bring up the topic of arranging for her to complete the trial at the Ancient Beast Ancestor Mountain.
There remains of the beast god's lingering spirit, even though it has dissipated.
Among the many inheritances he left behind, there must be secret methods for cultivating the primordial spirit. Therefore, Wang Yu wanted to pursue multiple paths simultaneously and let Dou Zhao try them out. In any case, he wouldn't lose out.
However, he didn't voice this idea until the sun was high in the sky, especially since Xueyu kept urging him on.
I relived that hot spring night from years ago.
Wang Yu temporarily lost interest in discussing the matter and simply indulged himself at Wanbao City for more than half a month, experiencing all sorts of consumer activities with Chiyuan characteristics.
Only then did he take Dou Zhao to the Hehuan Demon Sect.
Yu Hongchen and Ji Changjing have been in the Glazed Pagoda for a while now. Also, his natal magic weapon is currently undergoing an upgrade, and leaving too many "impurities" might have an impact.
However, things must be dealt with one by one.
After his breakthrough, he was extremely busy, and he hadn't even finished dealing with the enemies he had made in the past. Coupled with the indulgence he had enjoyed for the past two weeks, Wang Yu's actions were inevitably much faster.
This is what the sage state is like.
in this way.
Half a month later, the master and disciple's escape lights merged together, traversing several states, and finally arrived at the famous Hehuan Demon Sect.
