Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

"Xiahou Shan? This kid... I have some impression of him."

Qi Xiu was slightly stunned when he heard the name of the person Ge Ping mentioned. He had previously evolved into a true dragon and happened to meet this child when he was going to the Trial Hall.

He carries the innate seal of Tao, a miraculous physique that is capable of both curse and blessing.

His talent and potential far exceed those of his peers, but if he cannot break through to the Dao Body Realm before the age of eighty, he will die young.

But he didn't expect that this child had such a close relationship with Ge Ping.

"It's great that you know him." Seeing that Qi Xiu recognized Xiahou Shan, Ge Ping showed a hint of surprise.

"I only have a rough understanding of the soul method. You should bring the child here first. If it doesn't work, I will ask the headmaster if there is any other solution."

After thinking about it, Qi Xiu signaled Ge Ping to bring Xiahou Shan over first.

Xu Zhitian, the spirit of the Feixian Pot, once told him that if a person with the Xiantian Dao Seal can survive the difficult hurdle of eighty years old, there is at least a 60% chance that he can achieve the status of a True Spirit.

After all, for those who are blessed by the Tao and given the seal of the Tao since birth, their affinity with the Tao is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Its effect is not only reflected in the fact that daily practice is far beyond that of ordinary people.

What’s more important is that when facing the catastrophe of breaking through the realm, the Xiantian Daoyin physique will have very little difficulty.

This is true even for the great catastrophe of the soul.

In Xu Zhitian's memory, there were three people who possessed the Xiantian Dao Seal and survived the difficult period of eighty years.

Two of them achieved the status of True Venerable.

This shows how strong this physique is.

"Okay, wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon." With a slight sigh of relief, Ge Ping stood up, bowed, then turned around and left.

In no time.

Ge Ping, who had returned, was holding a mouthful of ice essence that was emitting cold white mist and was surrounded by countless green branches and vines.

This mouthful of icy essence is the size of a palm, transparent and clear, and the biting cold turns into wisps of white clouds.

And right in the center of this essence.

Xiahou Shan was lying in the middle of the room with his eyes closed and his body covered with yellow and white dead leaves. A ray of black light flickered slightly at the location of the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows, and from time to time, his faces changed into ones that were either hideous and ugly or seductive and charming, looking extremely weird and creepy.

“This child was too aggressive. His mental foundation was not good enough, so he tried to comprehend the Taoism beyond his own level, which caused his soul to become unstable. He was sniffed by the inner demon, which penetrated his ancestral orifice and controlled his soul.

In order to prevent the inner demon from taking over his body, I could only use the ancient cold spiritual marrow to freeze his body, and then use the Taiyi demon-sealing method to trap the inner demon in his ancestral orifice.

Fortunately, there seemed to be a hidden power in the child's soul that had been mediating for him, so that the inner demon did not completely devour his soul.

But if this continues for a long time, I'm afraid it will be more dangerous than good."

Frowning as he looked at Xiahou Shan who was sleeping in the ancient cold spirit marrow, Ge Ping let out a long sigh.

"Fifth Senior Brother, don't worry. I'll take a look first."

Taking the spiritual essence from Ge Ping, Qi Xiu's eyes flashed purple, and his gaze instantly penetrated through layers of magic and saw into Xiahou Shan's ancestral orifice between his eyebrows.

In a vast space covered with countless branches and green leaves, streams of inky black demonic energy were flowing back and forth, constantly corroding the vines and branches that were transformed by the Taiyi Demon Sealing Technique.

And in the center of this green sea, there is a green cocoon that looks like a emerald green jade.

Xiahou Shan's soul, with a look of struggle on his face, sat cross-legged in the middle. Strands of demonic energy as thin as cow hair and as hard as steel needles frantically pierced the green cocoon in front of him, trying to penetrate into his soul.

But every time the evil spirit penetrated the protection of the green cocoon and approached Xiahou Shan's soul.

The cloud-shaped birthmark on his face would suddenly emit a dazzling golden light, evaporating and eliminating the surging evil spirit.

It turned out that it was this innate Taoist seal that was protecting the child's soul.

Otherwise, his soul would have been corroded and possessed by these evil spirits long ago.

After confirming that Xiahou Shan's soul was fine, Qi Zheng wanted to find out where the inner demon that occupied his ancestral orifice was.

But he saw a pair of colorful eyes filled with infinite temptation suddenly appear in his field of vision.

hum-

His eyes felt hot, and the next second, Qi Xiu was surprised to find himself in a magnificent and luxurious ancient palace.

This palace full of exotic style is shining with bright lights everywhere.

The golden carved beams and painted buildings and the walls inlaid with gems all demonstrate nobility and luxury.

And right in front of Qi Xiu, the dark golden tent swayed gently, like a mysterious veil, isolating the world inside from the outside world.

In the tent, a graceful figure was looming. The woman was lying lazily on a big bed with her round and voluptuous legs lifted.

The big bed was covered with soft brocade, embroidered with exquisite patterns, and exuded a charming fragrance.

I saw the gauze curtain slightly opened, as if it was an unintentional action of the woman, revealing endless temptation.

A jade arm with a mysterious golden ring on the wrist slowly stretched out. The golden ring flashed with mysterious light, which contrasted with the woman's snow-white skin.

Her arms were slender and long, her fingers were as white as green onions, and she gently hooked her fingers at Qi Xiu. The movement was gentle and graceful, with an irresistible charm that made people want to get closer.

"This..." Qi Xiu, who was wearing a plain Taoist robe and fluttering slightly, couldn't help laughing as he looked at the enchanting figure.

“I’m old, and I can’t eat anything too spicy.

I don't know what your name is?"

Being able to bring his consciousness into this mysterious palace without anyone noticing, Qi Xiu knew very well that the inner demon in Xiahou Shan's ancestral orifice was obviously not an ordinary creature.

No wonder all the elders of the Yun generation are helpless against it.

"After so many years of not seeing you, my lord, you are still as fair and lovely as ever. It really makes me feel itchy.

I wish I could swallow you whole in one gulp."

A suppressed giggle came from within the tent, and the dark golden gauze curtain slowly rose. The owner of the pair of round and voluptuous long legs slowly sat up from the bed curtain.

A head of silky black curly hair falls on the shoulders like a waterfall, and every strand of hair tells of endless charm, perfectly outlining a lazy and charming charm.

Her skin was an alluring wheat color, her eyes were colorful, and she had a mysterious gold ring on her wrists, ankles, and neck. Her whole body exuded an exotic charm that would make people fall in love with her at first sight, wishing to crawl at her feet and sink at her forever.

"We haven't seen each other for so many years? Have we met before?"

Facing the woman's eyes that looked like an old acquaintance, Qi Xiu showed a hint of doubt.

He was sure that he had never seen this woman before.

Moreover, this extremely mysterious woman is obviously from the Heart Demon clan. When did he have any intersection with the Heart Demon clan?

Seeing that Qi Xiu didn't remember her at all, the woman nodded slightly, with a look of grievance in her eyes and tears in her eyes, which made people feel soft-hearted.

"Well, it's understandable that you have been so absorbed in cultivation after meeting each other for a few times.

It’s just that I’m using this child to meet you this time because I have something important to discuss with you.”

The mysterious woman turned around and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then smiled again. There was no hindrance in the transition.

"Important matter?" Looking at the mysterious woman with strange origins in front of him, Qi Xiu slowly pinched the seal with his hands in his sleeves and began to activate the Hunyuan Golden Seal.

The huge and luxurious palace suddenly trembled, and the ground under Qi Xiu's feet began to fade and turned into a pure white void.

The Hunyuan Heart Pill can allow Qi Xiu Ruyi to reverse his spiritual and physical cultivation.

Although this mysterious woman did not show any intention to harm him, with his strength and cultivation, he could not see any trace of this woman at all.

This in itself is a very serious problem.

Moreover, it is not difficult to hear from her words just now that Xiahou Shan being imprisoned by his inner demon is just a stepping stone.

The purpose was to induce him to cast a spell to save him, and then drag him into this space of consciousness.

So he decided to get out of here first.

"My lord, you are so cruel. We have just met and you are in such a hurry to leave. Do you really not want to see me?

You should know that the old lady Jinhua wanted to harm you, but I was the one who taught her a lesson for you."

Noticing something was wrong, the mysterious woman did not panic. She just looked at Qi Xiu with a reproachful look, and then said a name that made his expression freeze.

Golden Flower Mother...

"You are the inner demon from that year!"

The memory in his mind suddenly revived, and Qi Xiu frowned and looked at the mysterious woman opposite him:

"You've changed. No wonder I always feel like you look familiar, yet I've never seen you before."

The origins of this inner demon woman are mysterious, and she appears many times when he suffers great disasters.

The first time was when he had just entered the Shenxiao Sect. Faced with the "Nine Heavens Shenxiao Thunder Controlling Scripture" of this ancient sect and the "Secret Meaning of the Mixed Origin Dragon and Tiger Scripture" that he himself had passed down, he became entangled and was subsequently taken advantage of by this inner demon.

Later, he cut off all distracting thoughts in his mind, stuck to his own path, and thought that the demon in his heart had been driven away.

Unexpectedly, when he was going through the bloody catastrophe, the leader of the Jinhua Mother Sect, Li Hao, used secret magic to try to usurp his body.

At the critical moment, this inner demon emerged again.

But that time she did not attack herself. Instead, she used her magic to cut off the Golden Flower Mother's means and left herself a golden flower lotus platform that could protect her soul.

The last time was when he was re-cultivating the "Hunyuan Golden Chapter" to condense the Hunyuan Heart Pill. Although the inner demon did not show up that time, he vaguely guessed that she must be behind the scenes.

Otherwise, the endless stream of inner demons would have appeared too coincidental.

"Sir, have you finally remembered?" Seeing Qi Xiu remembering her, the demon woman smiled with her hands covering her lips. She took a step forward, and the golden ring on her ankle made a clear sound. She had already come to Qi Xiu's side, half leaning on him.

The charming fragrance and the soft touch made Qi Xiu blush. He turned into a wisp of green smoke and distanced himself from the demon woman.

"Your Excellency has gone through so much trouble to bring me here. What is the important matter?"

After recognizing the demon woman, Qi Xiu's attitude softened a little. After all, this demon woman had helped him a few times before.

It can even be said that I owe her a favor.

"The endless calamity has begun, sir, you should know about this." The demon woman pursed her lips and spoke softly, her fingers gently twirling her hair.

"Yes, of course I know." Qi Xiu nodded. The news of the approaching immeasurable catastrophe is no longer a secret. It has even begun to circulate on a small scale in the cultivation world.

"This catastrophe is coming with great force. As the main battlefield, Tianyuan Realm will surely be robbed by all races. I wonder if the Tianyuan race has any strategies to prevent it?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiu's eyes suddenly narrowed. It was obvious that this demon woman was hiding something from her words.

Noticing the change in Qi Xiu's expression, the demon woman smiled sweetly and walked forward barefoot, the golden rings on her body making crisp and pleasant sounds from time to time.

"From the looks of your Excellency, I don't think so."

"If you have something to say, just say it." Qi Xiu put away his expression and silently stared at the demon woman in front of him.

"Stingy guy." The demon woman wrinkled her nose and said:

"There have been countless catastrophes, unprecedented in history, the last one can be traced back to the ancient True Dragon period.

But that time you had the True Dragon clan as your backing. All the clans in the heavens hated you to the core, but they were afraid of the power of the True Dragon and did not dare to act rashly.

But this time, the real dragon was destroyed.

Without their protection, even though you humans are strong, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand the oppression of all races in the universe.

However, not all races in the heavens covet this Tianyuan land.

For example, I am from the Heavenly Demon Clan. "

Qi Xiu frowned and listened to the words of the demon woman. His eyes moved slightly and he said slowly:

"Then you mean..."

"cooperate!

My demon clan monitors the heavens and patrols all directions. The Tianyuan world is not of much use to us.

We can help you resist the attacks from all races in the heavens.

But you have to agree to one condition of ours." Slowly stating her purpose, the demon woman stared at Qi Xiu quietly, her colorful eyes sparkling.

"What conditions?"

"This, I can't tell you~" Putting a finger on her lips, the demon woman smiled and shook her head.

"Don't be angry, this matter is of great importance. Once you know about it, you will be implicated in the cause and effect of the matter.

You have not stepped into the great path of the soul, and you cannot use the power of the Dharma Realm to protect yourself and isolate yourself from cause and effect.

Let me tell you, it does more harm than good.

This time I came to you in the hope that you could convey the goodwill of my demon clan to the human race’s higher-ups.

The sooner the better, after all, we don’t have much time.”

After hearing what the demon girl said, Qi Xiu was silent for a moment and then said:

"I understand. I will report this matter as soon as possible, but what about after that?"

"You don't have to worry about it from now on. The human leaders will have their own ways to contact us. You will know whether it succeeds or not when the time comes." said the demon woman.

"Okay, I understand." Qi Xiu nodded slowly, although he didn't know whether the cooperation that the demon woman talked about was true or false.

But the Dao Alliance should have its own way to distinguish.

If the two races can really cooperate, then the pressure on the human race will be less in the subsequent catastrophes.

"Then I'll trouble you, sir."

Seeing Qi Xiu agreed, the demon woman smiled. The next second, she suddenly appeared beside Qi Xiu and lightly pressed her red lips against his cheek.

I was really caught off guard by the demon woman's move.

Surprised at the warmth on his face, Qi Zheng was about to speak, but everything in front of him began to disappear, and the demon woman disappeared as well. Only a voice that was full of ecstasy came slowly to him.

"Sir, next time we meet, I will eat you up."
