Chapter 746 - 357: The Lu Family’s Future, Demon Realm Unfolds
As the words fell.
Tens of thousands of demon cultivators rose in unison before the ten-odd True Spirit Demon Trees, their eyes sharp and their grinning faces let out bursts of roars. Followed by this, tens of thousands of Pseudo-Tier Three True Demons that were crouching on the ground in the underground cave also stood up at that moment, transforming into wisps of black smoke and entering one demon cultivator after another.
After merging with the True Demons, the spirit bodies of the demon cultivators rapidly transformed into true demonic forms. Some cultivators sprouted spike after spike from their backs, each spike’s sharp murderous intent was comparable to a Tier Two High-grade Spiritual Artifact fully driven by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and such spikes were too numerous to count.
Some demon cultivators’ faces began to take on beast-like features, their originally slender faces started to swell, pairs of scarlet eyes emerged one after another from their foreheads, and their hands unconsciously turned into elongated sharp claws.
This process lasted only for a moment. When the transformation ended, and a wisp of demonic qi descended into their bodies from the True Spirit Demon Tree, these tens of thousands of demon cultivators successively turned into black startled swans, surging out of the underground cave with great momentum.
As they made their move, the originally vast Demon Realm of ten thousand feet began to expand rapidly at a visible pace, transforming the celestial yin mountain range into a Demon Realm under the swaying of the True Spirit Divine Tree.
"True demon body fusion, human-demon integration, creating tens of thousands of demon cultivators comparable to false dans. No matter how many people the Spirit Suppressing Army sends, they will all die here in the Celestial Yin Mountains, becoming nourishment for the spread of the Demon Realm." Anchaosheng smiled with satisfaction, turned around, and his gaze fell on the many late-stage demon core cultivators waiting in the Black Hall.
Among the over a hundred demon core cultivators, the strongest were the late-stage demon cultivators who had fought in Lin Yingyun Mountain against Longteng Liyi.
At this moment.
They were also eager to make a move.
Anchaosheng grinned, a rather frenzied smile, "Fellow daoists, you have been lurking here for a hundred years. Now, the demonic war blooms everywhere, firmly occupying the upper hand. The Divine Fall Mountain Range is already in the hands of the other four veins, and next, it will be time for you to take down the West Mountain Floating Domain."
With those words.
Everyone’s faces showed expectant smiles, and after exchanging glances, they all flew deeper into the stone cave, except for Lin Yingyun Mountain, who, after a nod from Anchaosheng, entered the True Spirit Demon Tree step by step.
When Lin Yingyun Mountain’s soul body entered the True Spirit Demon Tree, the tree seemed to suddenly gain intelligence, and the already rapidly spreading Demon Realm began to expand even faster.
...
Seven days later.
A million-strong Spirit Suppressing Army arrived on flying ships outside the core area of the Celestial Yin Mountains, completely surrounding the core area with their grand flying ships, spirit beasts, and puppets.
The cultivators who originally entered the Celestial Yin Mountains to hunt demons had long since dared not venture into the mountains three or four days ago. Even though they didn’t know what had happened, such a formation still caused panic among the Immortal Cities and Markets around the Celestial Yin Mountains.
The Lu Family Ancestor Lu Feng, as well as the Lu Family Elders, who were joining forces with other Golden Core influences to besiege the Longteng Family, understood that a storm was coming upon receiving the news. In the future, the situation in the West Mountain Floating Domain would only become more chaotic.
So, they immediately issued an order to frantically increase the number of participants in the war, striving to solve the issues with the Longteng Family and the Brute Puppet Sect as quickly as possible.
The Qi Guang Sect did the same.
However, for safety’s sake, Lu Feng was still the first to send a message to the East Spring Undying Bone. Since communication with the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven was impossible, Wen Jiu had long handed the Spirit Stone used to communicate with the East Spring Undying Bone to the Blood Demon Undying Bone.
When Wen Jiu controlled the Blood Demon Undying Bone to check the messages, Lu Feng’s slightly worried voice slowly emerged.
"Corpse Ancestor, within the Celestial Yin Mountains, the Divine General Nangong Huan suddenly deployed a massive Spirit Suppressing Army, numbering in the millions. Such a large-scale move, no matter who wins or loses, will likely destablize the West Mountain Floating Domain in the future.
After we solve the Longteng Family and annex the lands of the Brute Puppet Sect, what should we plan next? Should we arrange for part of the Lu Family to leave the west to expand outward, seeking a refuge in future upheavals?"
Before Wen Jiu could respond, another message followed, "Corpse Ancestor, now that the anomaly in the Celestial Yin Mountains has been noticed by other Golden Core influences, today more than a dozen of them have sent messages to me, inquiring if they can ally with the Lu Family. Some Golden Core influences even near the Celestial Yin Mountain Range and the Traceless Mountain Range are willing to become our Lu Family’s vassals. Clearly, although the West Mountain Floating Domain is not yet in flames, it’s already filled with anxiety. They wish to use our Lu Family’s strength to deal with future changes.
Those influences willing to ally with the Lu Family appear to have made an agreement, each willing to annually tribute high-quality essence blood worth two million middle-grade Spirit Stones. And those Golden Core influences willing to become vassals, though relatively weaker, are also willing to annually submit evil yin spiritual medicine and corpse nourishing items worth a million middle-grade Spirit Stones.
If you nod, Corpse Ancestor, all the cumulative influences will ensure you an annual income of at least twenty to thirty million middle-grade spirit stones’ worth of corpse nourishing and cultivation resources, and it will only increase, not decrease."
Upon hearing the potential income of twenty to thirty million middle-grade Spirit Stones, Wen Jiu was momentarily stunned.
In the campaign against the Brute Puppet Sect and the defeat of Longteng Liyi, numerous spoils had been delivered by the Lu Family, and Wen Jiu himself had gained quite a few trophies, yet his total wealth barely exceeded ten million middle-grade spirit stones.
If he nodded, he could earn twice his current wealth annually in the future, and the vast majority were corpse nourishing essence blood. If all used to cultivate Blood Corpse Mushrooms and Celestial Yin Demon Blood Medicine, the efficiency of corpse nourishing would be beyond imagination.
