Cultivating To Immortality

After Fang Hong finished listening, he fell silent, his gaze once again carefully sweeping over Lu An, Elder Hongcheng, and Fairy Mo Yun.

Lu An noticed Fang Hong's suspicion and quickly took out a palm-sized recording stone.

"If Fellow Daoist doesn't believe me, please look at this. This is the footage left from our last battle with the Red-Eyed Demonic Spider."

As he spoke, he injected a trace of Immortal power into the recording stone.

Immediately, a light screen unfolded in mid-air, clearly showing the three of them battling the Red-Eyed Demonic Spider.

In the footage, a gigantic red spider was waving its thick spider legs and spitting fireballs, forcing Lu An and the other two to retreat repeatedly.

"This cave was actually discovered by me first," Lu An said, pointing at the light screen, a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Back then, I went in alone to investigate and encountered that Red-Eyed Demonic Spider. I almost died in there, barely escaping with half my life."

"Later, unwilling to give up the fire bodhi fruit just like that, I searched everywhere for companions and was fortunate enough to meet Fellow Daoist Hongcheng and Fairy Mo Yun."

"We originally thought that working together, the three of us could eliminate that Red-Eyed Demonic Spider, but we didn't expect that even with our combined strength, we were still no match for it. Several attempts ended in failure."

Fang Hong looked at the footage in the recording stone. The details didn't seem forged, so it appeared that what Lu An said was true.

"Alright, then let's join forces to eliminate that Red-Eyed Demonic Spider. Where exactly is that cave?" Fang Hong agreed.

"That's great. The cave is in this direction, about eight thousand li from here."

"With Fellow Daoist joining us this time, that beast is surely doomed." Seeing Fang Hong agree, Lu An was overjoyed.

Elder Hongcheng and Fairy Mo Yun, who were beside him, also showed relieved smiles and cupped their hands slightly towards Fang Hong.

"No time to lose, let's set off now."

"Lest that Red-Eyed Demonic Spider eats all the fire bodhi fruit in the cave, then all our efforts would be in vain," Fang Hong suggested.

"Yes, yes, yes, let's go now."

"Uh, I was so focused on the matter that I haven't asked for Fellow Daoist's name yet?" Lu An asked Fang Hong.

"My name is Zhao Wenjun," Fang Hong made up a name.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Zhao, a pleasure to meet you."

In less than half an hour, the four arrived in front of a small mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a cave entrance, about ten zhang wide, dark and seemingly bottomless.

A scorching aura emanated from inside the cave entrance, making one feel as if they were approaching a volcano about to erupt.

Even more peculiar, the outer perimeter of the cave entrance was enveloped in a faint fiery red light barrier, isolating the cave from the outside.

Lu An, with a serious expression, pointed at the entrance and said, "That is the Red-Eyed Demonic Spider's Immortal Cave."

"Everyone be careful, that beast is very vigilant. Our aura has likely already been detected by it."

No sooner had Lu An's voice fallen than a piercing howl suddenly came from inside the cave.

Immediately after, a ball of red fire, carrying rolling heatwaves, shot out from the cave entrance and charged straight towards the four.

The fireball emitted extremely high temperatures. Wherever it passed, the surrounding rocks instantly turned red.

The four of them, Fang Hong, dared not be careless and all used their movement techniques, quickly dodging to the sides.

Bang.

After a loud bang, the fireball did not hit the four but instead smashed into a small mountain not far away.

Instantly, the entire small mountain was shattered by the fireball, turning into rolling magma.

Immediately after, strange and shrill roars came from inside the cave, the sound sharp and piercing.

Before the roars faded, a huge red figure suddenly shot out from inside the cave, moving at extreme speed.

Fang Hong focused his gaze and saw a gigantic red spider appear on the open ground in front.

The spider was four or five zhang tall, with dark red patterns on its back, its legs were exceptionally sharp and gleamed with a cold light, and its eyes were like fire, staring intently at Fang Hong and the others.

This was the Red-Eyed Demonic Spider, indeed a Demon Beast in the Early Stage of Golden Immortal.

The Red-Eyed Demonic Spider was completely enraged upon seeing more people coming to disturb it.

A sharp roar erupted from its mouth, and in the next instant, it suddenly transformed into a red afterimage, carrying a scorching gale, and charged directly towards Lu An, who was the closest.

Lu An's face turned pale with fright, a chill of death rushing from his feet to the top of his head.

How could he dare to hesitate even for a moment? Almost the instant the Red-Eyed Demonic Spider moved, he immediately activated the Wind-Riding Boots under his feet.

These Wind-Riding Boots were his prized treasure, a fourth-grade Immortal Artifact, specifically used to amplify speed.

A layer of green light instantly lit up on the surface of the boots, and a strong wind force carried Lu An's body, making him frantically flee to the side, avoiding the Red-Eyed Demonic Spider's fatal ambush.

Even though he narrowly escaped, Lu An was still filled with lingering fear.

As he fled, he shouted loudly to Fang Hong and the other two.

"Everyone be careful. The fire attribute Qi on this beast is several times stronger than before, it must have eaten the fire bodhi fruit."

"Its Law of Demonic Fire is extremely powerful. Absolutely do not use fire attacks against it, otherwise, it will only help it increase its strength."

No sooner had his voice fallen than Lu An flipped his wrist, taking out three white talismans. These were three-grade Cold Mist talismans specifically designed to counter fire-attribute Demon Beasts.

Lu An immediately threw the talismans towards the Red-Eyed Demonic Spider that was chasing him from behind.

Puff.

The three Cold Mist talismans instantly exploded in the air, transforming into a dense cloud of white cold Qi.

The cold Qi spread out like a tide, instantly enveloping the pursuing Red-Eyed Demonic Spider.

The icy aura collided with the flames on the Red-Eyed Demonic Spider, producing sizzling sounds, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped by several degrees.

The Red-Eyed Demonic Spider's speed indeed slowed down as a result. It intensely disliked this cold Qi, constantly spewing red flames from its mouth.

The flames were extremely hot. When they landed on the cold Qi, they instantly incinerated the surrounding cold Qi into balls of white mist, but the amount of cold Qi was simply too much to be completely dispersed in a short time.

"Good opportunity."

Fairy Mo Yun seized this rare opportunity, immediately let out a soft cry, and with a flick of her wrist, a golden rope shot out from her hand.

This was precisely her innate Immortal Artifact, the Demon-Binding Rope, specifically used to restrain Demon Beasts.

The rope continuously lengthened and thickened in the air, quickly coiling around the Red-Eyed Demonic Spider, which was trapped by the cold Qi.

"Bind." Fairy Mo Yun formed a hand seal, fully channeling the Immortal power within her body into the Demon-Binding Rope.

The Demon-Binding Rope instantly tightened, coiling tightly around the Red-Eyed Demonic Spider's body.

The Red-Eyed Demonic Spider was immediately bound in place, unable to move, letting out even more furious roars, and the flames on its body burned even more fiercely.

At the same time Fairy Mo Yun made her move, Elder Hongcheng also acted. He conjured a small black bell, which floated above the Red-Eyed Demonic Spider's head.

"Suppress." Elder Hongcheng roared, simultaneously continuously injecting all his Immortal power into the black bell.

The small black bell rapidly grew larger in the air, instantly expanding to about a zhang in size.

With its mouth facing downwards, a deafening boom sounded, and a muffled sound wave emanated from the bell's mouth, descending from the sky and crashing heavily onto the Red-Eyed Demonic Spider's body.
