Absolute control over the start, I will develop my own immortality

Ling Yun turned into a bolt of lightning and landed at the bottom. He looked around with no expression on his face.

"Here... there is actually an underground river. The top is connected to the mine, and the bottom seems to be pointing in the direction of the battlefield. Has the sect not explored this place?"

Another bolt of lightning fell, revealing the figure of a real Jin Dan.

He is a golden elixir monk who guards Tianyun Mountain together with Ling Yun and Sima Yizhi.

"I remember that this place was explored, but because it was far away from the battlefield, I didn't pay much attention."

"But now, this happened."

Ling Yun said: "Let's investigate, what is that thing flying out from here..."

Although the whole plan went wrong at the end.

But Zhou Ming was also helpless.

In the end, he couldn't shrink the Tianzhen Tower, so he had to have a space that could make him bigger.

The underground water veins are too narrow, so the only way is to fly to the sky.

But now that the plan has been completed, even if there is such a slight mistake, nothing will happen.

Anyway, he didn't leave any traces from beginning to end.

Moreover, at this time, Sima Yizhi was fighting on the battlefield, which must have nothing to do with this matter.

But he himself was an identityless existence at this time.

Therefore, this matter will not involve him.

After the plan was completed, Zhou Ming immediately transformed back into his original form and left Tianyun Mountain directly on the dark clouds.

He fled all the way and soon returned to his retreat place.

He did not deliberately hide his actions. Dahei and Xiaohei, who lived here, immediately noticed Zhou Ming's return and rushed out to express their welcome.

For a moment, dragons roared and tigers roared, echoing under the mountains and above the water.

It has been nearly ten years since he left.

Although he came back a few times on the way, he always left shortly after.

Now seeing him back, the two beasts are naturally happy.

Especially Xiao Hei.

Dahei has been on the path of cultivation for many years. Although he has not yet reached the level of the fifth-level demon king, he is still at the fourth level of cultivation.

He has extremely thin dragon blood in his body, but it was later enhanced, so he has an extremely long lifespan.

Although Xiao Hei is a descendant of a monster beast, in order to let him escape from the secret realm of ancient cultivation smoothly, Zhou Ming deprived him of all the blood in his body.

This allowed him to survive, but it also made his cultivation qualifications extremely poor.

Although I have embarked on the path of spiritual practice these years, my life span is not very long.

It is now common sense among human monks that the monster race has a long lifespan.

But in reality this is just survivorship bias.

The demon clans that human monks can encounter generally have blood in their bodies, but the difference is between strong and thin.

But as long as they have blood, it means that they are not ordinary animals, it can be said to be another species. Therefore, when they embark on the path of cultivation, they will also have a longer life span than human monks.

In fact, the lifespan of a demon clan without blood is actually not that long.

It's just that this kind of demon race is usually unlikely to embark on the path of cultivation. Even if it is lucky enough to embark on this path, it will not go far and will be dead before it appears within the sight of the human monks.

Of course, there are indeed demons in the world who have no bloodline, but also have extremely powerful qualifications and can go very far on the road of cultivation.

But this kind of monster is rare to see in millions of years.

But Xiao Hei is not such a monster.

Without his bloodline, even if he embarked on the path of cultivation, the journey would be bumpy and his lifespan would not be as good as that of human monks.

Ten years is just a short period of time for Zhou Ming and Dahei.

But for Xiao Hei, it is a fraction of his life.

After so many years of not seeing each other, Xiao Hei is obviously getting older.

It clung to Zhou Ming's side and whimpered. Zhou Ming touched its tiger head and said, "Okay, okay, this time, I have prepared a good thing for you, which can definitely help you solve your lifespan problem."

While Zhou Ming was flying back, he took a look at the memory of King Tianhu and found that this old guy did have a back-up plan.

The Hell King Tiger is indeed a bloodline that plays with souls and death. This clan has a way to bring tigers with this kind of bloodline back to life.

The Heavenly Tiger King clan has two bloodlines in the body. Once awakened, it will either be a Vajra Tiger or a Heavenly King Tiger.

Among them, the Vajra Tiger lineage has the top-grade magic weapon 'Indestructible Vajra Armor' that has been passed down from generation to generation.

The Heavenly King Tiger lineage also has a special rare treasure that is comparable to a top-grade magic weapon, called the 'Immortal Hell Lamp', which remains in their tribe and is passed down through the ages.

A tiger who has awakened the bloodline of the Underworld King Tiger can separate a trace of his soul and leave it in the 'Immortal Underworld Lamp'. The state of the body can be determined by the light.

Once the body dies, it can directly turn into a ghost.

If the ghost is beaten to pieces, the Immortal Hell Lamp can continuously attract the soul fragments, and eventually they will be reorganized in the Immortal Hell Lamp.

If you can't even collect the soul fragments, you can still use the trace of soul left in the Immortal Hell Lamp to cultivate it again.

After learning about this, Zhou Ming decided not to kill the Tianhu King for the time being, but he would not keep him either.

The best way he thought of was to strip out the bloodline in King Tianhu's body and shorten his life.

And then... he died!

Lifespan is a matter of destiny.

The Heavenly Tiger King's true body died at the end of his life, so even in the 'Immortal Hell Lamp', nothing strange would appear.

It is even possible that he will die together with that trace of his soul.

Even if it can't, the function of gathering the remaining souls will not be effective on King Tianhu.

As for the bloodline stripped from him, it would naturally fall on Xiao Hei.

Speaking of which, Zhou Ming still kept the body of the Golden Tiger King for study.

After all, it is extremely rare to be able to accommodate two bloodlines at the same time without conflicting with each other.

It can even be said to be the only example!

It's a pity that after studying for so long, Zhou Mingdu still hasn't come up with anything useful.

"The reason for this situation in the Golden Tiger King seems to be something deeper, which I cannot observe for the time being with my ability..."

This reminded him of the monsters in the ancient secret realm.

The reason why those monsters cannot leave the ancient secret realm is because their bloodline was tampered with by the creator of the secret realm, the god-transforming monk.

However, the place where it started was also proving to be impossible to observe at all.

The two seem to be in the same field.

However, the reason why the Golden Tiger King appears is because of the bloodline inheritance from generation to generation, and an unknown mutation occurred in him.

It's a coincidence.

It is an accident that only happens once in who knows how many years, and may not happen again for countless years in the future.

As for the situation in the ancient secret realm, it is inevitable that the god-transformation monk would take action.

There are areas that can be intervened by humans.

Therefore, Zhou Ming felt that even if the two were in the same realm, the problems in the Golden Tiger King's bloodline must be deeper than the realm that the god-forming monk could control and interfere with.

Therefore, it was put on hold for now.
