Chapter 200: Rank-10 Demon Core! (1st Update)

Lu Changsheng received two elixir pills, one of which, the “Convergence Pill,” was a ninth-grade Immortal Pill that could increase the success rate for cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm to break through to the Unity Realm.

Lu Changsheng was aware of the value of this pill.

Countless strong practitioners in the Void Refinement Realm, in order to make a breakthrough, had lain dormant at the ninth layer for hundreds of years, just to make thorough preparations to maximize the likelihood of successfully overcoming the Sixfold Heavenly Tribulation.

And yet, the “Convergence Pill” could directly enhance the odds of making a breakthrough, so its value could be imagined.

“Having such an Immortal Pill, when I attempt to break through the Void Refinement Realm in the future, I can’t guarantee to certainly overcome the Sixfold Heavenly Tribulation, but an increased success rate is always a good thing,” he said.

Lu Changsheng put away this ninth-grade Immortal Pill, which was an important treasure for his future attempt to reach the Unity Realm.

For the eighth-grade Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill, Lu Changsheng had refined a Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill with the aid of the Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron to replenish his True Qi when he was breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm, dealing with the Threefold Heavenly Tribulation.

At the ninth layer of the Dao Palace Realm, the Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill was more than sufficient for cultivation or for temporary replenishment of True Qi.

However, now that Lu Changsheng’s cultivation had reached the fifth layer of the Void Refinement Realm, the effect of the Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill had diminished.

Of course, the Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill could still be used to accelerate cultivation.

Midway up Qingyun Peak, a vast expanse of demonic Qi spread, alarming the peak’s Immortal Cranes, Immortal Deer, and Spirit Monkeys into a state of ceaseless panic.

Daoist Earth Hound, whose cultivation had risen to the seventh layer of the Dao Palace Realm, once again felt the suppression of his bloodline.

“At this rate, Master will soon reach the Dao Palace Realm and is destined to replace the Demon Lord, commanding the many demons of Huang State,” he mused.

Daoist Earth Hound transformed into his true form to cultivate, closing his third Heavenly Eye.

After being transformed into a Three-Eyed Divine Canine, Daoist Earth Hound’s cultivation speed significantly increased.

But even so, it was incomparable to Ji Xuan with her Demon God Physique.

Ji Xuan, consuming the Soul Nourishing Pill, began her attempt to break through to the Dao Palace Realm.

The demonic power of the sixth-grade elixir “Hui Snake Golden Pill” was refined by her.

While human cultivators needed to spend a lot of time refining Demon Cores into their own True Qi, Ji Xuan, having the Demon God Physique, could directly devour the demonic power of the “Hui Snake Golden Pill.”

Ji Xuan’s aura rapidly climbed as she began creating her own Dao Palace within her body.

Above Qingyun Peak, an apparition of The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox appeared, with nine massive tails swaying, eclipsing the sky.

The elders and disciples of Mount Shu from the surrounding peaks were all stirred.

The appearance of the Demon Lord with the four Great Demon Sects to attack Mount Shu was imminent, and the Demonic Qi emitted by the Demon God Physique had many Mount Shu elders believing the Demon Lord was on the attack.

On Ten Thousand Swords Peak, Grandmaster Taiyuan and the Sect Leader’s uncle stood gazing in the direction of Qingyun Peak.

Grandmaster Taiyuan’s aura was more vigorous than before, with the two cultivators of the Unity Realm being Mount Shu’s most significant support.

“That demon race disciple on Qingyun Peak, her talent is no less than that Demon Lord’s. Her future accomplishments might even surpass his, it’s just her origins remain unclear.”

“The Nirvana Phoenix Body of the Demon Lord is strong, indeed, but it must go through a cycle of dying and reviving each time, which carries a greater risk of perishing. In contrast, that girl is more likely to ascend to the Immortal Realm.”

“Does uncle mean that the fifth disciple of Qingyun Peak could potentially take the final step and ascend to the Immortal Realm?”

“Not just the disciple from Qingyun Peak. Apart from that large yellow dog of Qingyun Peak, all the teacher and disciples there have the potential to ascend to the Immortal Realm.”

“That’s almost too incredible to believe,” remarked the Sect Leader.

Grandmaster Taiyuan’s body shook slightly.

His master, as well as many past Sect Leaders of Mount Shu, had always failed to overcome the ultimate Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Countless Supreme Elders perished along their journey.

Over the past several hundred thousand years, there were only a handful of cultivators from Mount Shu who ascended to the Immortal Realm.

And Uncle-Master actually believes all six disciples from Qingyun Peak have a chance to ascend to the Immortal Realm?

Since the foundation of Mount Shu, there has never been an era with so many geniuses possessing the potential for ascent to the Immortal Realm.

“If Qingyun Peak is given enough time, then the Demon Lord and the four great Demon Sects will amount to nothing.”

Grandmaster Taiyuan knew that six peerless geniuses with the potential to ascend to the Immortal Realm would be unrivaled once they matured.

One hundred thousand years ago, Grandmaster Taixu of Mount Shu and Fairy Qingxia from the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, two peerless geniuses with the potential to ascend to the Immortal Realm, joined forces and suppressed an entire era.

This was about six peerless geniuses with the potential to ascend to the Immortal Realm!

Not to mention Li Changye, Chen Yao, and Xiao Xiangdao, who also have the potential to step into the Unity Realm.

The younger generation of Mount Shu boasts more peerless geniuses than any other era.

The reason for the sheer number of outstanding figures among the younger generation of Mount Shu is that Lu Changsheng alone has taken five disciples with supernatural talents.

“The master of the Reincarnation Hall is cultivating the Supreme Blood Scripture. I worry that if he takes it to the next level, even you, Uncle-Master, might not be his match. Therefore, I plan to lead a team to attack the Reincarnation Hall, to settle the grudge from three thousand years ago once and for all, as well as to avenge the Refinement Sect.”

In the time that passed, Grandmaster Taiyuan focused on tribulation; concerning the annihilation of the Refinement Sect, he was not indifferent but secretly ordered an investigation and located the new stronghold of the Reincarnation Hall.

“It seems you have truly let go of that matter. Go ahead and do it, I will personally oversee Mount Shu.”

After Grandmaster Taiyuan entered the Unity Realm, the Sect Leader Uncle-Master had faith in Grandmaster Taiyuan’s strength.

Grandmaster Taiyuan’s talent was not inferior to his; otherwise, he wouldn’t have succeeded as the Sect Leader of Mount Shu. It was merely because Grandmaster Taiyuan started practicing later, which caused him to enter the Unity Realm later.

Lu Changsheng was comprehending the tenth layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique.

The tenth layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique, far superior in power to the previous nine layers, had reached the level of an Immortal-grade cultivation technique; penetrating the tenth layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique required considerable effort.

Seven days later, the Demonic Qi lingering around the waist of Qingyun Peak finally dissipated.

Ji Xuan’s Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Demon Core became even more mysterious and complex, completely transforming her temperament.

[Ding, your eldest disciple Ji Xuan has advanced from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Dao Palace Realm. You have earned a disciple advancement reward: ten-grade Elixir Pill “Demon Dragon Essence Core”.]

While cultivating in meditation, Lu Changsheng was startled.

This time, the disciple advancement reward was unexpectedly a ten-grade Demon Core!

Thus far, the highest grade elixir pill that Lu Changsheng had received was but a nine-grade Immortal Pill; it was even uncertain whether ten-grade elixir pills existed.

Now that the system had returned a ten-grade Demon Core, Lu Changsheng knew for certain that ten-grade elixir pills did exist.

A Purple Gold Bagua Gourd appeared within Lu Changsheng, and on it, several Talismans were affixed to seal the Demon Core.

Without the Talismans seal, the Purple Gold Bagua Gourd itself might not be able to contain the demonic power of the ten-grade Demon Core.

Lu Changsheng dared not open the Purple Gold Bagua Gourd at this time.

The last time Lu Changsheng opened a Purple Gold Bagua Gourd containing an eight-grade Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill in Xia Kingdom’s imperial city, it caused a sensation.

A ten-grade Demon Core further sealed with specialized Talismans, the contained Demonic Qi was unimaginable.

“Could this really be from a Demon Dragon? Otherwise, how could it be a ten-grade elixir pill?”

Lu Changsheng took out the Purple Gold Bagua Gourd and examined it closely.

In this world, where Flood Dragons transformed after ten thousand years, the golden core of a Demon Dragon—its medicinal effect was unfathomable.
