Chapter 587 The disastrous defeat in the essence of cultivation, followed by the freezing demon tool
Yu Tangtang, Yan Ling, Dou Zhao and others were all taken away by that phantom of the Wutong Immortal Tree, but he didn't know exactly how many of them were taken.
The Phoenix Clan's Wutong Realm seems like a good home.
However, this only applies to Yan Ling alone. It's hard to judge the situation of the human cultivators who went with her. But since things have come to this, being alive is the greatest achievement.
If he were to unfortunately perish, he would have no complaints.
They have done everything they could to be kind and righteous.
There's also Xueyu, a snow fox he's raised since the Qi Refining stage. At first, she could provide him with some help, but after a few years she's become a complete parasite.
However, the exquisite physical sensations of fox-woman are also unparalleled.
I helped him relieve stress more than once.
He had previously stayed in Jinchan City to cultivate, but was not taken by him. It is unknown whether he left with Yan Ling.
"well……"
With a long sigh, Wang Yu quickly rallied his spirits.
The hatred towards the Taoist Kongkong had reached its peak.
"If I attain enlightenment, I will surely cleanse the void of all spiritual lineages with blood and utterly annihilate your lineages!"
I made a vow in my heart.
This also gave Wang Yu new motivation and goals. Now that the Blood Demon has been captured, it shouldn't be long before the Living Demon is captured as well.
The rules of immortals are like the guillotine of the Great Dao.
Even with the body of an ancient demon, it can only unleash the power of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator. No matter how troublesome it is, it will never be a match for a Dao Integration expert.
It won't be long before Daoist Kongkong is free to do so.
I will personally search for his location, eradicate him completely, and ensure that the Demon Prison remains peaceful for a thousand years without any problem.
This is the other party's way of redeeming themselves.
If it weren't for the inability to completely destroy the cultivation method... I probably would have done it long ago.
At first glance, it seems...
The existence of Ice Prison cultivators does not conflict with sealing the ancient demons, so why are they banned from the path of ascension by the Immortal Palace?
This brings us to the nature of cultivators.
The path to immortality is essentially a form of plunder.
Seize the power of heaven and earth to achieve your own success.
The world is vast, but even the most expansive has its limits, and even the most abundant origins have their upper limits. Imagine a closed sphere filled with water.
One by one, the ants drank their fill of water and left the sphere, and eventually the water dried up.
Water is regarded as the origin of the world, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth derived from it is what cultivators absorb and refine in their pursuit of longevity. Therefore, a heavenly tribulation will descend when one forms the core.
That is the instinct of Heaven to maintain natural order and ensure the cycle.
Immortals are those who defy the natural order!
The path to immortality violates the order of Heaven, and calamities will inevitably descend to bring you back to your original form. It can be said that from the moment you form your core, you will be regarded as a parasite by the Heavenly Dao of a realm.
A vast world like the True Spirit Realm has an even more abundant origin.
Perhaps only those at the Nascent Soul or Divine Transformation stages will be subject to tribulation, but in essence, it is the Heavenly Order's punishment of those who defy it. It can be delayed, but it cannot be avoided.
Water without a source will eventually run out.
Those ants, having drunk their fill, ascend and depart one by one, and the world will grow weaker and weaker due to the loss of its origin, gradually giving rise to the sayings of the Dharma-ending Age and the Golden Age.
The Ice Prison Realm may be no less impressive than the wider world.
However, its origin was used by immortals to forge rules to suppress the ancient demon's body. If there are more ascendants, the world level will decrease, which is essentially weakening the seal.
Therefore, cultivators of the Demonic Prison are forbidden from ascending!
This is the root of the conflict.
Then some people might ask, if things continue like this, won't cultivators become the destroyers of the world? No matter how you look at it, one day all the heavens and myriad realms will fall into annihilation because of more and more eternal true immortals.
When spiritual energy ceases, all phenomena perish.
The Great Dao has retreated into seclusion, leaving no chance for immortality.
Everything will eventually perish.
If that's the case, Heaven would have been better off eliminating cultivators from the start. Heaven is ruthless and treats all things as mere straw dogs; it's not something it wouldn't do.
This brings us to the positive aspects of the existence of cultivators for the world.
Practitioners experience nature and draw strength from it.
Those who become immortals are ultimately only a minority. Some worlds may become completely extinct as more and more people ascend, but the cultivators who ascend and leave do not simply disappear into the cosmic sea.
Instead, they took this part of their origin and went to a more powerful world.
This is what is known as the vast world.
The natural order of the world will naturally welcome these outsiders who bring start-up capital, and will even be exceptionally welcoming, which will make the world stronger and stronger.
After all, 99% of cultivators will die.
With all his spiritual cultivation, he will naturally return to the world.
The rules of ascension were thus incorporated into the Heavenly Dao of all realms. The Heavenly Dao of the Lesser Thousand Worlds was constrained by the stronger worlds, much like a senior is to a junior. However, there was also a chance that the ascension level would be elevated, transforming into a Greater Thousand World.
How similar is this class to the gap in cultivation level between cultivators?
This is the essence of spiritual practice.
As for those who become immortals, their lifespan is practically eternal, and their existence is also beneficial to the world, namely, by continuously expanding the upper limit and breadth of the fundamental laws.
This allows the vast world to grow, drawing upon various forms of energy from the cosmic sea that cultivators cannot utilize, thereby strengthening its own origin.
The original path can be regarded as a fishing tool.
The stronger one is, the faster one grows. This aligns with the instinct of the Heavenly Order, and thus True Immortals are accepted by the Heavenly Order. However, if one cannot make a fundamental contribution...
Tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years have passed.
None of these can benefit the fundamental principles of the Dao. At that time, the [True Immortal Tribulation] will descend to sweep away the parasites, ensuring that the strong remain strong and the weak perish.
This is also why there are no weaklings among the true immortals.
These records are all racial memories contained within the Ice Phoenix bloodline. When Wang Yu learned of them, he felt that cultivators were essentially born with the bodies of cattle and horses, and even if they achieved true immortality, they were still just ordinary workers in essence.
It's just that the object of its service is the Way of Heaven.
but……
Immortals are those who defy the natural order!
Rebelliousness is inherent in every cultivator, and defying the heavens is also a true immortal's cultivation method, seeking true transcendence. Even the Phoenix Clan's inherited memories don't express much about this aspect.
Wang Yu didn't know much about it.
However, the growth of a large amount of hidden knowledge also allowed him to truly understand the essence of the world and even cultivation.
Thinking too much now will only make you a laughing stock.
These things are still far, far away from him. Taking it one step at a time to reach the highest point is what he should be focusing on.
The most urgent task.
We still need to find a way to escape the pursuit of the Taoist Kongkong.
"The essence of my blood that I left in various places needs to be collected, lest it fall into the hands of the Taoist Kongkong and use secret methods to lock my location, or be cursed. These are risks that I cannot afford to take."
While waiting for his body to be completely reconstructed, Wang Yu was also planning his future.
If he truly reaches a dead end, he can transform into the body of an ice phoenix and use the guiding method of the Wutong Immortal Wood to travel to the world of the Phoenix Clan.
However, the risk is not small, as there is a possibility that it will be discovered.
So he hadn't thought about hitchhiking before. One reason was that he didn't want to be controlled by others, and the second reason was that he could also start his own ride.
I'll say it again.
He will not willingly submit to others unless absolutely necessary.
but.
After realizing the deeper nature of the whole matter, he knew that breaking free from the icy prison would be extremely difficult, so he could only try to find a way to escape.
Success or failure depends entirely on luck.
Wang Yu didn't actually have many remaining resources left in various places. The current Gatekeeper Ruins is one such example, and there's another one inside the Desire Demon Sealing Ground, which is the Black Mountain Demon Land.
He collected the five methods of enlightenment back then, and left them on a whim when he passed by. The third place is in the wild and ancient plains. These are the places he set up in total.
The essence and blood of the Demon of Desire must be recovered.
The desolate ancient plains are not necessarily so. This place is considered the number one forbidden area in the Ice Prison Realm. Ever since the Demon Slayer's body was sealed in the ancient plains, it has been recorded in subsequent historical records.
There is no record of those powerful beings from the lower realms entering.
It is evident that there are secrets hidden behind it that even Dao-harmonizing cultivators would avoid, and the desolate ancient plains are actually a good place to hide.
Unfortunately, there has been no news of Xie Xie'an since he went to retrieve the Blood Nether Treasures. If only he had been there to guide us.
This was Wang Yu's first choice for a safe haven.
However, we still need to consider this further before making a decision.
"Given the cunning of the Demon of Life and the countless flesh and blood clones that are almost as real as real ones, the young men in hemp clothing who are scattered throughout the Ice Prison Realm, even with the considerable abilities of the Taoist Kongkong, it will take time to seal them away."
This will buy him time to transfer.
Secondly.
He needs to recover his strength as soon as possible. He can gradually improve his physical cultivation, but he must accumulate Nascent Soul power as quickly as possible. Otherwise, he will have little chance of dealing with Core Formation or Nascent Soul cultivators.
Given the chaotic situation outside, it's not much different from the apocalypse. Going out to act without the strength is too risky.
The incompleteness of his primordial spirit was even more unbearable for him.
Three days later.
As Wang Yu's new body was successfully reconstructed, a pair of slightly dim eyes opened on his pale, handsome face, sensing the weakness of his body.
He was in a somewhat depressed mood.
"Just wait, the hatred for your murder will never be forgotten."
After three days of deliberation.
Wang Yu already has a complete plan. He is too weak at the moment, and even if he finds Xie Xie'an to lead the way, he still lacks a sense of security.
Therefore, he rejected the path of the desolate ancient plains.
Do you remember the method the demon race mentioned before for avoiding calamity? Once you find a secret realm where no one knows where you can hide, even if a Dao Integration cultivator is strong, it is impossible for them to search all the secret realms, big and small, in the entire world while monitoring one realm?
That's unrealistic.
Even cultivators who have reached the Dao Integration stage are still far from being invincible; there's no reason for them to be so omnipotent.
so.
Wang Yu chose this path, and there is also a perfect secret realm there—the Void Dao Treasury!
He possessed the Void Stele, a gift from the Taoist Master Taixu.
The Void Dao Treasury has a mysterious origin and is a top-tier secret realm, making it an ideal hiding place for him. Even cultivators at the Dao Integration stage might not be able to force their way in.
After choosing this way out.
His primary goal was to restore his strength, and he devised another shortcut. The Frozen Demon Qi was of the same origin as him, and the Frozen Demon Qi had even demonstrated the empowerment technique when they last met.
It is definitely the best choice for him to restore his cultivation.
This idea had been brewing since he placed his essence and blood here, but it was ultimately a risky move.
After much deliberation, I decided to go for it!
We'll see.
If the Frozen Demon can also be released, it will buy him more time, allowing him to reclaim the essence blood from the other two locations as a backup plan.
Now that my body is weak, if I could receive two drops of my original essence blood to nourish it, it might greatly accelerate the recovery time of my immortal body.
A short while later.
Before the iceberg at the Frozen Demon Sealing Ground, within the almost transparent iceberg, the hideous demonic shadow, upon noticing Wang Yu's arrival, eagerly approached the edge.
The last transaction allowed Wang Yu to see through their true nature.
And it was clear that this guy couldn't sense what was happening in distant places; his perception couldn't even reach the location of the gatekeeper tribe's ruins.
This demonstrates the weakness of the newborn's consciousness.
This gave Wang Yu the opportunity to deceive the other party by exploiting the information gap!
"Red Sky?"
Yes, he used the pseudonym Chitian at the time.
Wang Yu touched his cheek, looking sorrowful.
"Senior Frozen Demon, I'm afraid the task you entrusted to me will not be completed."
"What's the meaning?"
Back then, the Frozen Demon's transmission of the Divine Transformation level "Ten Directions Frozen Demon Path" was intended to allow him to spread his legacy within the Ice Clan and acquire a group of subordinates who could help him break the seal.
The plan is simple and straightforward.
Right now.
Wang Yu said sadly, "The Ice Clan has been completely wiped out by that outside cultivator. The individuals born by accident have limited intelligence and cannot learn such exquisite methods at all. It is unknown how long it will take for them to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage."
Frozen Demon's New Consciousness: "..."
Although he felt something was amiss, he still believed it.
The main reason was that he realized Wang Yu had switched to the Ten Directions Frozen Demon Path, and that sooner or later he would be influenced by his demonic influence and become his servant.
Given this relationship, I'd like to see what Wang Yu is planning to do.
"So, why did you come here this time?"
"Of course, I will try to find a way to help the Demon Lord break the seal."
"You can't do it yet. You need to be at least at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and find a rare treasure from the center of the ice plains—[Frost Heaven Origin Blood]—before you are qualified to help this Demon Lord escape."
"oh?"
Wang Yu's eyes lit up.
"What is the significance of this treasure?"
"It is probably a primordial divine object nurtured in the Ice Prison Realm. Although it is far inferior to the primordial blood nurtured in its prime, it can still help ice cultivators truly enter the path of cultivation."
"An introduction to the Way of Frost? Comprehending the true principles of the Way?"
Indeed.
A great uproar immediately swept through Wang Yu's heart; fortune and misfortune are intertwined.
The great calamity, ironically, led him to learn of such a rare treasure. It should be known that anything involving the Dao must be at least the work of a Void Refinement cultivator, and even then, it requires extraordinary cultivation to gain the favor of the spatial Dao. Such an opportunity is not something everyone has.
For cultivators at the Refinement Realm to create their Origin Grotto-Heaven, they need countless rare treasures and suffer greatly from comprehending the Dao. The best way to break through to the next realm is to one day merge with the Origin Grotto-Heaven.
However, at this moment, he does not yet have the means to access this item.
We'll have to talk about it later.
"I am currently at a loss regarding the Heavenly Frost Origin Blood, but I can certainly improve my cultivation level."
As he spoke, Wang Yu revealed a frosty, moonlit sentiment.
"If the Demon Lord could gather a large amount of frozen demonic energy for me like last time, it would greatly increase the speed at which I accumulate demonic essence, and breaking through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm would not be difficult."
The true intentions are revealed when the truth is finally revealed!
Yes, with the power of enlightenment within him, all he lacks is the accumulation of demonic energy, which would also be the best asset in persuading the Frozen Demon's new consciousness.
certainly.
The rapid breakthrough was just an excuse; he needed a massive amount of cold, yin-attribute demonic energy to cleanse his body and quickly restore his strength. Frozen demons would be an excellent auxiliary tool.
"this……"
The latter hesitated.
The demonic energy surrounding the iceberg was actually emanating from his body. Although countless years had passed, it had ultimately belonged to him and there was still a faint connection between them.
Giving it to Wang Yu... means that the scope of his influence will be reduced again.
