Chapter 432 - 322: Return to the Old Land (Part 2)
How many years has he been separated from Xiang Wuji?
The Divinity Transformation barrier seemed nonexistent before him, with such rising power that rendered Xiangg Ding powerless. Xiangg Ding couldn’t even fathom the kind of opportunities the other had encountered.
Xiangg Ding also considered himself a peerless Celestial Pride, yet before Xiang Wuji, he could only feel helpless.
"Every Blood Lord of the Undefeated Demon Blood is nothing short of a demon."
"Unfortunately, each is ultimately short-lived."
The old woman’s tone remained calm, without a trace of urgency, as if she were merely stating a fact.
"Are you going to awaken Senior Brother?"
Although the Ten Thousand Dao Alliance was weak, its predecessor was one of the major factions in the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, and it held the orthodoxy of the old Ten Thousand Dao Alliance. Its foundation was not limited to two Divinity Transformations.
"Whether he awakens or not, he will die."
The old woman said calmly.
Xiangg Ding said no more.
He had spent thousands of years with Senior Sister Jii, but she possessed a Wood Celestial Spirit Root and half of the Divine Wood King Body.
Had it not been for Senior Sister Jii being deceived by that cursed Undying Xuanyuan in her youth, who took half of the Divine Wood King Body, she would not have been inferior to those Blood Lords of the Undefeated Demon Blood.
Senior Sister Jii has lived for over ten thousand years and shows no signs of the Celestial Human Five Declines.
...............
Ten Thousand Dao Super Large Cultivation Realm.
Headquarters of the Ten Thousand Dao Alliance.
Underground space.
A Divinity Transformation cultivator of the Jii surname gently entered this place.
And within the underground space, a middle-aged man, who no longer resembled a human, was pinned to the ground by an iron pillar, with his limbs stretched at an unnatural, twisted angle by chains.
At the same time, cuts had been made over his limbs, with blood dripping onto the ground’s array.
The array continuously refined this blood into Spiritual Qi.
This scene had lasted at least ten thousand years, making the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Dao Alliance one of the richest Spiritual Qi locations in Ningzhou.
The middle-aged man sensed the visitor.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he licked his dry lips.
"Little Jii, here to see me again?"
Jii Xi just looked at him quietly.
"Seems like something’s on your mind... hahaha, seems like the Undefeated Demon Blood has found another worthy successor."
"Xuanyuan will meet the same fate as Black Heaven Ancient Owl."
In front of Jii Xi stood none other than the second-generation Blood Lord of the Undefeated Demon Blood, the Undying Xuanyuan.
"So what? As long as there’s one Demon Cultivator left in Ningzhou, the lineage of Undefeated Demon Blood will continue."
The Undying Xuanyuan laughed heartily.
Yet... he seemed certain of Jii Xi’s success.
"I will activate the half Divine Wood King Body you took, using its Qi Fortune to suppress Undefeated Demon Blood. Don’t expect it to continue wreaking havoc."
Jii Xi spoke quietly.
The Undying Xuanyuan’s eyes widened.
Then he laughed again.
"So what? You’ve already been drained dry by me; how much Qi Fortune do you think your Divine Wood King Body has left?"
Jii Xi’s expression twisted.
Her white hair suddenly turned into black silk as the old woman transformed into a pure and beautiful young girl full of vitality.
This was because the True Essence within her surged; her thoughts were no longer peaceful.
With a flip of her hand, a spear pierced through the Undying Xuanyuan’s head, yet he continued to laugh despite the impalement.
The spear rotated in the wound.
Jii Xi recalled that dark day ten thousand years ago.
Though the Divine Wood King Body was of excellent quality, its fault lay in being akin to Tang Monk’s Flesh, allowing it to be devoured and refined by others.
The Undying Xuanyuan laughed and cried uncontrollably as the ancient spear, shrouded in black aura and bloodstained with sinister light, clearly was not an ordinary item.
"Come on, is that all the strength you have?"
The Undying Xuanyuan began to taunt, but Jii Xi calmed down.
"Master Lin Sen nurtured the Divine Wood King Body with a Spirit Root and used the broken Qi Fortune of the Ten Thousand Dao Alliance to support the body. Do you think it can suppress your Undefeated Demon Blood lineage?"
"If not, I, Jii Xi, will dedicate my life to eradication."
Jii Xi reverted to her old woman form.
Despite her talent being taken, she was still incredibly gifted, reaching Divinity Transformation.
If only she had met Master Lin Sen earlier, her future might have been brighter.
"Hahaha, don’t go, Little Jii! Don’t go! Are you afraid of me?!"
"Come on, bring it on!"
The underground space closed, and Jii Xi left...
.....................
Time is both long and short.
A Golden Core cultivator reigns for merely eight hundred years of life.
Even Nascent Soul Ancestors akin to Land Immortals only live for about two thousand years.
Xiang Wuji concealed his aura, traversing Danyang, Wan Yu, Wei’e, Celestial Dragon, and Changming, the Five Great Cultivation Realms.
The world changes, old friends have gone.
The entire Blood Demon Sect have undergone transformations.
Senior Brother Blood Bright failed to break through to Nascent Soul and passed away three hundred years ago.
The older Golden Core Elders of the Blood Demon Sect had all reached the end of their lives.
Xiang Wuji walked within the Blood Demon Sect, now a shadow of its former self. Though the Ten Thousand Dao Alliance neglected the sect, many sought to suppress it to curry favor with the Divinity Transformation Ancestor.
Yet they left a space, fearing Xiang Wuji’s reputation, despite believing he might never return.
Xiang Wuji walked among them, unnoticed by Foundation Establishment Elders or Qi Refining Disciples alike.
Mountain Gate, Martial Arts Arena, Scripture Pavilion.
Demon Tower.
Xiang Wuji remembered his first time arriving at the Blood Demon Sect, then a mere stepping stone in his mind.
Unforeseen, this cultivation journey spanned two lifetimes.
Atop the Demon Tower, an elder succumbing to Celestial Human Five Declines lay half-reclined, peering into the distance as if waiting for someone.
The Blood Demon Sect’s last Golden Core Master.
Blood Robe Master, named Cai Teng.
Cai Teng looked at the suddenly appearing figure, momentarily stunned, not quite comprehending.
Xiang Wuji already gripped Cai Teng’s wrist.
Cai Teng had surpassed his eight-hundred-year lifespan, yet through consuming celestial treasures, extended his life considerably.
But his lifespan was nearly exhausted.
"Master, Master..." The elderly voice resounded.
The cloudy eyes began to clear.
"You’ve finally come..."
Xiang Wuji felt silent.
For Cai Teng’s condition was extraordinarily complex.
Even with every discovered Nascent Soul pill and spiritual object from Heaven-Falling Valley, Cai Teng had no chance of breakthrough.
"What have you done?"
Cai Teng smiled bitterly and said, "I signed a contract with a demon, otherwise I wouldn’t have waited for you."
"A demon?"
Xiang Wuji frowned slightly.
"Yes, now waiting for you, I’m content as a disciple."
This lifetime, Cai Teng followed Xiang Wuji from childhood, harboring complex emotions for him.
"Now my divine soul is damaged, and vitality is flawed. Success is beyond reach. Master, you’ve surpassed Nascent Soul... I wanted to behold the scenery beyond Golden Core."
Xiang Wuji looked at this disciple among his only two.
Seriously, he said, "I have never bestowed any treasure upon you; today I shall remedy this."
Cai Teng had no time to react.
He saw Xiang Wuji’s third eye on his brow open suddenly, emitting a captivating divine light.
In Xiang Wuji’s view, all things were woven into threads.
This was a unique Pupil Skill created by combining Bai Ze Demon Body and Nine-headed Serpent’s Gaze.
Xiang Wuji tugged forward.
Space fragmented, Xiang Wuji’s True Essence scattered extensively.
A demon, the size of an infant, was grasped in his hand.
The demon was frightened and bewildered.
Then, sensing something, it quickly begged for mercy, "Upper Immortal, Upper Immortal I was wrong... I..."
Before the demon could finish, Xiang Wuji raised his hand, enveloping the demon in five-colored light before sending it into Cai Teng’s belly.
Cai Teng’s path was irrevocably ended, his vitality and Divine Soul absorbed by this demon to extend lifespan. Given the circumstances, Xiang Wuji simply transformed the demon into Cai Teng’s Fake Nascent Soul.
