Capítulo 2183: Chapter 722: Third Palace Master Shen Yiren, Demonic Sect!
Moreover, my respected martial uncle is gentle and kind-hearted, so one must not harbor any thoughts of the strong preying on the weak in her presence.
“You need to tend to your injuries carefully. Later, I’ll go meet this Xuanmu Taoist.”
Shen Yiren held Qin Yunning’s wrist, speaking softly.
Unlike her two sisters, she practiced a Nourishing Life Technique, excelling in healing.
She surmised that this Xuanmu Taoist was likely a doctor who also practiced a Nourishing Life Technique, so she thought of meeting him, repaying his kindness, and also probing his origins.
“Thank you, martial uncle.”
Qin Yunning, knowing her martial uncle’s nature, responded honestly and respectfully.
…
“So this is the Penglai Immortal City?”
Ten days later, Lu Changsheng looked ahead, exclaiming at the Immortal City that seemed like a dazzling pearl hovering amidst a sea of clouds.
There was no denying that the Penglai Immortal City before him was quite extraordinary, more magnificent than his Great Dream Immortal City, the Azure Phoenix Immortal City of the Azure Phoenix True Monarch, and even the Jiuxiao Immortal City of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
All the city walls seemed to be constructed of jade, reflecting radiant light under the sun.
As a Third Rank Top Level Formation Master and a Second Rank Dragon Seeker, Lu Changsheng instantly recognized that the Penglai Immortal City was a Fourth Rank Immortal City, equipped with a Fourth-tier Forbidden Array.
“If it weren’t for the astonishing nature of a Heavenly Nascent Soul, one could rent a cave mansion here to attempt advancing to a Nascent Soul, as long as they were willing to pay the price.”
Lu Changsheng thought silently as he gazed at the Penglai Immortal City before him.
However, putting aside the Heavenly Nascent Soul, even attempting to advance to an Earth Dao Nascent Soul involves drawing on the energy of the Earth Veins from the Fourth Rank Spirit Vein, causing disturbances that prevent others from cultivating during the process.
Therefore, renting a cave mansion in a Fourth Rank Immortal City to advance to an Earth Dao Nascent Soul is incredibly challenging, unless one is willing to pay a hefty price.
Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng exuded a faint yet perceptible Core Formation Spirit Pressure as he moved forward.
Even though many cultivators were lined up to enter and exit through the gates of the Immortal City.
Core Formation cultivators, being high-ranking, possess privileges no matter where they are.
Lu Changsheng was immediately invited by the city guards to the high-ranking cultivator passage amidst respectful, awed, and envious gazes from many cultivators.
Since it was his first time here, he needed to obtain an identity token, so Lu Changsheng duly mentioned the name “Xuanmu Taoist.”
After entering Penglai Immortal City, aside from the slightly higher average level of cultivators, there wasn’t much else that stood out.
Lu Changsheng settled down in a tavern, inquired about the general state of the Immortal City, and then began to wander leisurely, gathering information on the Kunpeng Nest, and looking out for any Heaven and Earth Spiritual Materials he needed while waiting for someone from the Goddess Palace to arrive.
…
Meanwhile.
In the deep sea, a giant egg with interlacing golden brilliance and dark mysterious patterns was emitting a subtle aura.
Whenever a demon beast approached, the patterns on the giant egg would weave and flow, forming a black hole vortex that slowly engulfed the demon beast.
“Damn it, at this rate, it will still hatch…”
Lu Quanzhen, having parasitized a young Kunpeng, deceived it to control the Kunpeng giant egg, activating the teleportation array to escape the Kunpeng Nest Secret Realm.
But now, whatever he said, the young Kunpeng didn’t believe, only wanting to hatch and obliterate him as soon as possible.
He could seize control and continue to disrupt the young Kunpeng, but couldn’t outlast it, only manage to delay it a bit.
“This Kunpeng giant egg has the effect of blocking Heavenly Secrets calculations, I wonder if my father can find me…”
“If things are really desperate, I might as well send these treasures out.”
Due to a peculiar symbiotic state formed, Lu Quanzhen knew the Kunpeng giant egg had an ability to block and interrupt Heavenly Secrets calculations.
Under such conditions, even if his father had means of bloodline sensing, finding him would be extremely difficult.
During these days, he had tried countless ways to break free.
But now, in a Demon Fetus Parasite state, he couldn’t even break open the Kunpeng giant egg.
Moreover, if he abandoned the parasite and dismissed the Demon Fetus Parasite Technique, he would enter a state of extreme weakness.
The young Kunpeng could easily take action against him during this time.
Thus, he had decided, if the young Kunpeng truly hatched, he would fight desperately, sending these acquired treasures and the Sun and Moon Token away, as his final contribution to the family.
After all, his findings in the Kunpeng Nest were indeed fruitful.
Especially the bone talisman and porcelain bottle he snatched at the Kunpeng Altar!
These days, he had ransacked all usable items on him for escape, including the bone talisman and porcelain bottle seized at the Kunpeng Nest Altar.
The bone talisman was presumably some kind of Fourth Rank Talisman Treasure, yet helplessly, he couldn’t activate it in his current state.
The porcelain bottle likely was the legendary Empty Cyan Bottle.
It could store Elixir Medicines, retaining their efficacy even after a millennium, even ten thousand years.
Besides the two treasures he acquired, other demonic inheritors’ altar-seized treasures were now within the Kunpeng giant egg.
He might try sending one or two items away.
Despite preparing for the worst, Lu Quanzhen hadn’t given up, leveraging the young Kunpeng to comprehend the “Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique” and “Demon Fetus Parasite Technique.”
To see if he could find a way to escape through these Cultivation Techniques.
….
Demonic Sect.
“There’s news of a Kunpeng egg emerging in the Starry Sky Sea? Someone has mastered the ‘Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique’?”
On this day, the Heavenly Demon Sect Master was handling affairs and was quite astounded to see such news.
Not only surprised by the emergence of the Kunpeng egg, but also that someone had actually mastered the ‘Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique.’
This Cultivation Technique was created by a former patriarch of the Demonic Sect, blending insights from multiple techniques to innovate.
In thousands of years, very few from the Demonic Sect have truly mastered it.
Mastering this Cultivation Technique required the aid of [Kunpeng Essence Blood] as a foundation.
After so many years, the Demonic Sect’s Kunpeng Essence Blood was completely depleted, leading to this Technique gradually gathering dust on the shelves.
Although many disciples still chose to practice it, none had truly mastered it.
Even among a few extraordinarily talented individuals who pursued this Technique deeply, due to its flaws, they couldn’t break through to a Nascent Soul.
“Summon this disciple who mastered the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique to see me.”
The Heavenly Demon Sect Master pondered briefly, then spoke, wanting to know how the latter mastered the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique.
Immediately, a cultivator kneeled on one knee, bowed, and said: “Sect Master, this news was relayed by Elder Zuo Qiu, who reported seeing a disciple named ‘Zhao Wuzhen’ mastering the Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique, but unfortunately perished in the Kunpeng Nest of the Starry Sky Sea.”
“However, Elder Zuo Qiu had no impression of this disciple, so I went to the Record Hall to check, but found no such disciple.”
This cultivator reported.
“Zhao Wuzhen? No such person?”
The Heavenly Demon Sect Master frowned.
Though the ‘Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique’ had seen few succeed, gathering dust, as a Cultivation Technique on the Third Layer of the Sect’s Sutra Pavilion, only core true inheritors had the eligibility to peruse and practice it.
In such a situation, it was surprising to find no trace of this disciple.
“Could it be that this person acquired the ‘Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique’ from outside?”
Though every faction closely guards its Cultivation Techniques, forbidding their dissemination.
Yet some disciples and elders, when encountering danger outside, might pass on their Cultivation Techniques through certain means, leading to leaks.
Such actions have their pros and cons.
The advantage is a disciple acquiring the transmitted legacy might come to the Demonic Sect and become a member.
The downside is the technique leak, making it easy for other factions to understand and counteract.
“But the ‘Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique’ hasn’t been mastered for nearly a millennium…. wait….”
At this moment, the Heavenly Demon Sect Master’s mind seemed to be struck by lightning, suddenly recalling something, his eyes slightly narrowing.
He paused, then continued: “With the emergence of the Kunpeng egg, arrange for several people to search. According to the Sect’s records, the ‘Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique’ has countless connections with the Kunpeng Nest. Bring along this Cultivation Technique’s foundation, you may find the Kunpeng egg.”
Even for a top-level sect like the Demonic Sect, opportunities like the Kunpeng egg were highly significant.
If the Kunpeng egg could be found and nurtured, not only would it provide a Guardian Sect Beast with a True Spirit Bloodline, but the ‘Kunpeng Devouring Heaven Demon God Technique’ could once again be practiced.
