The Path to Immortality

Qingxu Forbidden Land.

In the underground palace.

Under the tense gaze of the Jindan ancestors, Tianhe Zhenren's Nascent Soul kept pinching a series of mysterious spells, trying to control the demon suppressed by the formation and refine it into a demon servant.

At the beginning, everything seemed to be going very smoothly.

The Nascent Soul Demon, which had been suppressed for more than a thousand years, seemed to have been extremely weak, and only relied on instinct to resist Tianhe Zhenren's magic power.

One after another, the spells were successively injected into the invisible body of the Nascent Soul Demon, making its resistance more and more weak.

However, as time went by, Tianhe Zhenren's originally calm expression gradually became solemn.

It seemed that he was aware of the ending of being enslaved by the cultivators, erasing his consciousness, and being refined into a demon servant. Under the stimulation, the breath of the Nascent Soul Demon was rapidly recovering. The originally weak resistance quickly became fierce.

"Familiar magic power..."

"It's you!"

A chaotic and tyrannical demon thought came from the demon.

The power of the Nascent Soul Technique [Heavenly Star Righteous Law] that had suppressed him back then evoked deep hatred.

Instantly, the demonic energy in his body erupted violently, and he desperately fought against the magic power of Tianhe Zhenren and the formation that suppressed him.

"Not good!"

"This demon is going to fight to the death! Will it escape?"

"Quick, quick, fully activate the mountain protection formation!"

In a panic, the Jindan elder of Qingxu Sect quickly took action, and the mountain protection formation continuously absorbed the spiritual energy of the underground spiritual veins and ran at full speed.

For this reason, even the spiritual energy in Huanyue Cave Heaven, which was maintaining the Qingxu Illusion, was temporarily diverted.

The infinite spiritual light turned into an amazing ban, which suppressed the Nascent Soul demon head.

No matter how unwilling it was, this demon head could only be suppressed again under the suppression of the formation. The previous desperate outbreak would only exhaust its power faster, allowing Tianhe Zhenren to control it much earlier!

Until this moment, Tianhe Zhenren finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In ten breaths at most, he would be able to completely control this demon!

However, Tianhe Zhenren did not notice that at the moment when the Nascent Soul Demon was desperately bursting out its remaining power, it used this action as a cover, as well as the connection between Tianhe Zhenren's attempt to control it, to send a dark demon seed in the opposite direction into Tianhe Zhenren's Nascent Soul in a very secret way.

If it was before being killed by the Demon Lord, with Tianhe Zhenren's strength, he could easily detect the actions of this weak demon.

Even before using the secret method to try to control this demon, its secret actions might not be able to hide from the world.

Only when Tianhe Zhenren put all his strength into controlling and enslaving himself, the demon's hateful calculations had a chance of success.

After only a few breaths, seeing that the evil seed had penetrated deeply into the Nascent Soul of Tianhe Zhenren, leaving no trace, the Nascent Soul Demon Head laughed triumphantly as if he had avenged his great vengeance, and then completely gave up resistance.

Seeing that Tianhe Patriarch controlled the Nascent Soul Demon Servant and regained the Nascent Soul-level combat power, the Jindan cultivators present, regardless of what they thought in their hearts, bowed their heads respectfully at this moment and congratulated the Nascent Soul Zhenren.

At this moment, Tianhe Zhenren's Nascent Soul directly inhabited the body of the demon head, as if it had taken over the body of the demon head in disguise.

He looked at the Jindan with a sharp gaze, and said in an unquestionable tone: "From today on, I am the [Old Monster Tianxie] who is a casual cultivator of the Nascent Soul and is both good and evil. I was invited by the Nine Sects to serve as the Supreme Elder of the Immortal Alliance. Do you have any questions?"

Facing this Nascent Soul who was clearly practicing the methods of the Immortal Sect but looked full of evil, the Jindan cultivators were awed and responded in unison.

This extremely respectful attitude made Tianhe Zhenren nod with satisfaction and burst into laughter.

"Demon Lord, hehe... I will settle this account with you sooner or later!"

Thinking of the scene of being killed, Tianhe Zhenren put away his smile and hatred flashed in his eyes.

But he did not realize that, invisibly, the seeds of demonic thoughts deep in the Nascent Soul were absorbing this hatred and murderous intent, waiting for the time to sprout and bloom!

………

"What's going on!"

"Is there something wrong with the illusion?"

"What happened?"

Suddenly, the vivid Qingxu Illusion continued to vibrate.

After just a few breaths, the vibration became more and more intense.

Not only did the trial monsters generated by the illusion become sluggish and weak, but even many scenes and restrictions that were originally impossible to see through became illusory and clumsy, and could be identified at a glance.

Amid the cultivators' doubts, the turbulence of the Qingxu Illusion soon reached its peak.

Some unstable illusion areas could not even bear the power of foundation-building cultivators. At that moment, at least dozens of Nine Sects' cultivators were kicked out of the illusion and forcibly returned to the Fantasy Moon Cave Heaven.

The remaining foundation-building cultivators were panicked and had to actively suppress their own strength, so that they could barely maintain their bodies and not be forced to leave the illusion.

At the same time, Fang Ping, who had just walked out of the bamboo forest, was also surprised to see other foundation-building cultivators nearby being kicked out in panic.

"What's going on?"

For a moment, he was a little confused.

It seemed that the illusion had encountered some problems.

But just a moment later, Fang Ping's eyes lit up.

Although he didn't know what happened, he was keenly aware that this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

The illusion had such a big problem that even if there was a Jindan cultivator hiding in the dark, his attention would inevitably be attracted by the illusion itself.

Taking this opportunity, he could safely leave the illusion, and it was impossible for anyone to notice him at this time!

"If you don't do it when the time comes, you will suffer!"

Feeling that the nearby illusion had signs of instability, Fang Ping decisively used the Tianshu array to isolate all the high-level opportunities that he was going to bring out, and put them all into the storage bag.

Afterwards, not only did he not restrain his strength, but he secretly operated his skills with all his strength, looking like he was instinctively protecting himself in a "panic" state.

As expected, after a moment, the illusion here could no longer bear his power.

Fang Ping's figure immediately turned into a bubble and disappeared from the Qingxu illusion.

Only a dozen insignificant yellow-level opportunities were left in the original place, and they were immediately sent to other places by the illusion's displacement power.

………

Inside the Huanyue Cave Heaven.

When Fang stabilized his body and regained his sight, he saw that more than a hundred foundation-building cultivators had returned, all in a state of confusion.

Some asked each other about what had just happened, and some asked the foundation-building elders of Qingxu Sect who were present.

However, facing the sudden change in the Qingxu Illusion, the elder of Qingxu Sect obviously didn't know what was going on. He could only comfort the foundation-building cultivators who had left in advance, while quickly sending out a communication talisman to ask the Jindan ancestor of the sect.

In the chaos, dozens of foundation-building cultivators failed to suppress their power in time and were kicked out by the Qingxu Illusion.

After more than ten breaths, everything stabilized again.

A moment later, a communication talisman flew back from outside.

Having received the accurate information, the elder of Qingxu Sect breathed a sigh of relief.

He said to the cultivators of various sects who were forced to exit the illusion early: "Don't worry, fellow Taoists. Just now, the two Jindan ancestors suddenly decided to fight each other. The elder in charge of the Qingxu Sect's formation hall mistakenly thought that there was an invasion by foreign enemies, so he activated the formation immediately. The spiritual energy of the spiritual veins was completely drained away by the mountain guarding formation, which caused the Qingxu illusion to show signs of instability... Now the misunderstanding has been resolved."
