Chapter 700: Enter the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss again, and the soul-captivating divine light!

Several days later.

Five Poisons Sect, Five Saints Hall, the Sect Master’s bedchamber was a complete mess.

Exquisite and precious furniture was overturned, the tea set on the table had spilled onto the ground, the tea water forming small puddles on the floor, reflecting a crystalline, hazy sheen.

The purple sandalwood table and chairs in the center even had cracks, one table leg partially broken, as if they had endured some violent collision and destruction.

On the purple jade bed where the Five Poisons Sect Master usually rested, the bedding was now disheveled and full of wrinkles, like crumpled paper from a painting scroll.

The neat gauze curtains, like clouds and mist, seemed to have been swept by a storm, hanging loosely, a few strands of thin gauze draped limply over the edge of the bed.

The lazily drooping draperies were even torn into strips, falling to the ground along with exquisite and elegant purplish-red dresses that exuded a lingering, faint fragrance.

Not far away, a silver headdress with a crystalline luster, several pairs of crumpled silk socks scattered on the floor, and multiple pairs of high heels and embroidered shoes of different styles added a touch of suggestive enchantment and disarray to the entire bedchamber.

“Splash—”

At this moment, a faint sound of surging spring water came from the side hall of the bedchamber.

Nangong Mili gradually woke up, her head slightly raised, her beautiful eyes hazy and dazed as she looked at Lu Changsheng and her Sect Master in the pool.

She hadn’t expected the two of them were still cultivating.

Years ago, she thought she, Xiao Chan, and Lu Changsheng had reached their limits, only now realizing…

Looking at the Sect Master, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, who was usually high above, now weakly moaning and displaying the most primitive beauty, an inexplicable tremor surged in her heart.

However, this was her Sect Master after all, and the authority accumulated over the years would not dissipate so quickly.

Nangong Mili did not disturb them, but simply watched quietly, her eyes hazy, with a ripple of light.

She didn’t know how long had passed, but the Five Poisons Sect Master, looking like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old, slumped weakly in the pool, her fair hand stroking her slightly bulging lower abdomen, her beautiful eyes glazed over in intoxication, then she simply fell asleep, her body surrounded by five-colored light, gradually returning to her usual appearance.

“Whoosh!”

Lu Changsheng let out a breath, feeling refreshed, without the slightest fatigue, only feeling full of energy.

Since advancing to the fourth stage of physique.

No, it should be said that after reaching the quasi-fourth stage physique, it had been a long time since he had been so satisfied.

Before, only when facing the master and disciple Honglian and Nangong Mili could he indulge a little.

But with his physique advancing to the fourth stage, his physical combat power had increased by another level, forcing him to restrain his strength again.

And these past few days, facing the Five Poisons Sect Master, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he finally no longer restrained himself.

However, looking at the Five Poisons Sect Master in the pool, her delicate body limp and weak, surrounded by five-colored light, a strong sense of guilt couldn’t help but surge in his heart.

He was indeed not gentle enough with Ayuduo.

Although the latter was a Nascent Soul cultivator, she hadn’t cultivated her body, so her physical aspect could only be considered average.

He immediately reached out and picked up the Five Poisons Sect Master’s petite body from the pool, walked out of the water, and looked at Nangong Mili not far away.

“You… you knocked the Sect Master unconscious.”

Nangong Mili said, her voice carrying a hint of breathlessness, surprise, and soft charm.

Although she had experienced exhaustion, her Sect Master was a Nascent Soul True Monarch!

“Mili, do you still want to be like the Sect Master?”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

“No… no more…”

Although such matters were extremely blissful, she, who had only recently woken up, was still soft and sore all over.

Nangong Mili’s answer was within Lu Changsheng’s expectations. He chuckled softly and picked up her tender jade foot, which was without shoes or socks.

Her ten crystalline toes were like white jade grapes, perfectly tempting.

The nails, stained with balsam saffron juice, complemented her snow-white jade-like skin, revealing a silent allure.

“Mm~” Nangong Mili’s long, narrow phoenix eyes, like rippling mist, glanced at Lu Changsheng, and she let out a light hum, then her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, sometimes frowning, sometimes curling her toes, her snow-white toes and plump thighs trembling slightly.

Knowing that Nangong Mili’s body had not yet recovered, Lu Changsheng did not continue. After a moment of tenderness, he carried her and Ayuduo back to the bedchamber.

Looking at the messy bedchamber before him, Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly.

He thought to himself, this was only a fourth-stage physique.

If two fifth-stage body cultivators dual cultivated, how astonishing would the commotion be?

“Could it be that the sky is the blanket, the earth is the bed, and mountains, rivers, grass, and trees are the curtains?”

The image of two body cultivators dual cultivating causing heaven and earth to collapse appeared in Lu Changsheng’s mind, and he couldn’t help but laugh, then he rested with the two women.

Although Ayuduo had fallen unconscious, she woke up after half an hour of rest.

After opening her eyes, the look she gave Lu Changsheng carried a hint of resentment.

After all, such relentless exertion was difficult for her to bear, even as a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

However, after dual cultivating for several days, she also realized that Lu Changsheng’s physique had further improved and broken through.

Looking at the Five Poisons Sect Master in her current state, Lu Changsheng’s sense of guilt deepened. He immediately cast aside distracting thoughts and asked about the main matter, saying, “Ayuduo, what’s the situation with the Yin Nether Ghost Sect now?”

Ayuduo’s fair and tender skin, delicate enough to be broken by a breath, still glowed with a faint blush. She said in a weak and listless voice, “After Ming Sha returned from the Vast Sand Illusionary Realm, he has been lurking within the sect and hasn’t come out. I don’t know the specific situation either.”

In earlier years, the three major Demonic Sects of Jin State almost shared information and helped each other.

But ever since True Monarch Ming Sha leaned towards Beast God Mountain and broke through to Nascent Soul, a rift appeared in the relationship between the three sects.

Then, after she and Lu Changsheng came out of the Myriad Devil Abyss and jointly resisted True Monarch Ming Sha, the two sects severed ties and even showed subtle signs of hostility.

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly and continued to inquire, “What about the Heavenly Corpse Sect? What is their attitude?”

The three major Demonic Sects of Jin State were able to maintain a balance, not only because of their early alliance and mutual assistance but also because a form of mutual checks and balances had been established.

Before having absolute strength, no one wanted one sect to become dominant.

“Yan Wujiang’s previous fourth-stage Corpse King was taken by the Heavenly Sword Sect, which can be said to have severely damaged his vitality. Unless he spends a great price to cultivate another fourth-stage Corpse King, he won’t leave the sect for a while. So he has been very low-key these years, without much activity.”

Ayuduo slightly curled her fair and tender little feet, saying listlessly.

“…”

Lu Changsheng’s eyebrow twitched slightly, suddenly realizing that among the three major Demonic Sects of Jin State and the three Nascent Soul True Monarchs, Ming Sha was in the best state.

Ayuduo’s Seven Absolutes Gu is in his hands, and she is preparing to switch to cultivating the “Myriad Calamity Poison Spirit Secret Canon,” so her strength and state are affected.

The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master’s life-bound Corpse King was forcibly kept by him and the Heavenly Sword Sect during the pioneering war back then.

Only True Monarch Ming Sha, still holding the supreme treasure [Myriad Ghost Blood Pool], is considered one of the best among those of the same rank.

Thinking of the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master’s fourth-stage Corpse King, Lu Changsheng felt a bit of pity.

The Soul Cryer feeds on vital spirits, ghosts, corpse demons.

If it could eat a fourth-stage Corpse King, even if it didn’t advance to the fourth stage, it could at least grow to the peak of the third stage.

But the fourth-stage Corpse King fell into the hands of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Even if Great Dream Immortal City and the Heavenly Sword Sect maintained a superficial relationship, it would be impossible for him to exchange for it.

Even if he proposed exchanging for the fourth-stage Corpse King, it might arouse suspicion from the Heavenly Sword Sect, causing their attitude to change, and they might think he was connected to the Demonic Path and Jin State.

At this moment, as if thinking of something, Lu Changsheng asked the Five Poisons Sect Master before him, “Ayuduo, you said before that the Gu God Bowl was lost in the Myriad Devil Abyss. If you could find this bowl, how much would it help your cultivation?”

Previously, Ayuduo used the [Gu God Bowl] as a reason to lure him to the Myriad Devil Abyss.

After subduing her, if it weren’t for his son Lu Ping’an’s accident, he would have planned to help her search for this supreme treasure of the Five Poisons Sect.

Thinking of the Soul Cryer Beast on him, Lu Changsheng felt he could make another trip to the Myriad Devil Abyss.

The Soul Cryer Beast can absorb souls and devour ghosts, restrain various ghosts, corpse demons, and can also evolve itself by absorbing souls, devouring ghosts, vital spirits, and corpse-ghost evil energy.

And within the Myriad Devil Abyss, there are many lingering souls, ghosts, and demonically corrupted demonic beasts.

He could completely use the Myriad Devil Abyss to quickly raise the Soul Cryer Beast’s strength to the peak of the third stage, or even the quasi-fourth stage!

Moreover, although the demonic beasts in the Myriad Devil Abyss are corrupted and demonized, they are easier to hunt due to their lack of sentience.

With his current combat power, plus the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, the Soul Cryer Beast, and Ayuduo, it would be enough to kill fourth-stage demonically corrupted demonic beasts, harvest a wave of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and prepare for the subsequent cultivation of the [Brahma Devil True Body].

After all, after returning home this time, he planned to cultivate properly, further improve his strength, and then go to the Star Constellation Sea to see his son Lu Quanzhen and check on the spiritual land and the situation with the Nascent Soul Pills.

And the most obvious method for improving strength at the moment is the Brahma Devil True Body.

Previously, he had only cultivated it to minor success, and holding the Grand Luo Sword Embryo was enough to contend with Nascent Soul cultivators.

If he cultivates it to great success, condensing all the meridians, bones, and flesh of the Brahma Devil True Body, he will reach an extremely terrifying level!

For example, the [Mysterious Yellow Essence] he obtained from a lottery draw in his early years has been kept to condense the Brahma Devil True Body.

But after so many years, except for three strands of essence used to refine the [Yin Yang One Qi Great Seizing Art], the rest have been gathering dust, and he hasn’t had time to use them.

“Finding this bowl…”

A’yueduo’s small face lit up with joy upon hearing this. Then she pondered slightly and said, “Master, according to records, the primary effect of this bowl is to cultivate Gu insects; enhancing combat power is secondary.”

“If the Gu God Bowl is recovered, several unique Gu insects recorded in the sect can be attempted for cultivation.”

“For example, the [Infant Raising Gu]. Under normal circumstances, even if I spend a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures and use secret methods to hasten its growth, it would still take at least several decades to mature. But with the Gu God Bowl, the time could be reduced by half.”

A’yueduo explained the effects of the [Gu God Bowl] to Lu Changsheng.

“So that’s how it is.”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, realizing that this Gu God Bowl was somewhat similar to his own [Myriad Spirit Bottle], leaning towards auxiliary cultivation.

However, in the hands of a Gu poison cultivator like A’yueduo, the effect of such a supreme treasure might even surpass the Myriad Spirit Bottle.

“If you have nothing urgent now, I can accompany you to the Myriad Demon Abyss to see if we can recover this treasure.”

Lu Changsheng said directly.

Since A’yueduo had already submitted to him, he would naturally give her some benefits.

Furthermore, A’yueduo’s increase in strength was also a good thing for him.

Once he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, he could completely use A’yueduo to destroy the Nether Ghost Sect, subdue the Heavenly Corpse Sect, and turn the Jin State into a natural defense line for the Jiang State.

“Thank you, Master.”

A’yueduo’s small face immediately beamed with joy.

If she could recover the Gu God Bowl, she could not only cultivate several top-tier Gu insects and increase her strength, but the strength of the entire Five Poisons Sect would also rise by a level!

“Is it convenient for you to leave now?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

Influenced by him, the Five Poisons Sect was currently under the scrutiny of many forces. He didn’t want to cause trouble by taking a trip with A’yueduo.

“Please rest assured, Master. There is nothing urgent within the sect.”

Nascent Soul cultivators often enter seclusion for several years, or even decades.

Her absence for just a few years would not affect the operation of the sect.

“It just so happens that Mili is also here. If anything happens in the sect, you can let Mili oversee it.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, knowing that Nascent Soul cultivators like A’yueduo basically didn’t handle sect affairs.

And with Nangong Mili’s True Core advancing to the high-grade, breaking through to the late Core Formation stage, and her control of the grand formation, she was sufficient to hold down the fort at the Five Poisons Sect.

“Yes, Master.”

A’yueduo glanced at Nangong Mili, who was not far away, with her graceful and alluring figure. She had woken up but had remained silent, and A’yueduo understood Lu Changsheng’s meaning.

Currently, within the entire Five Poisons Sect, the latter trusted Nangong Mili the most and hoped that she would also treat her as a true confidante and cultivate her with all her might.

A month later.

Lu Changsheng and A’yueduo quietly arrived outside the Myriad Demon Abyss.

With their strength, although they didn’t need to worry about being noticed by other cultivators, they were still very careful, trying their best to conceal their magical power and aura.

After entering the Myriad Demon Abyss, which was shrouded in gray mist, black fog, and filled with eerie ghost cries, Lu Changsheng saw that there were no other cultivators around. Looking at the wandering ghosts in the阴风 (yin wind), he swiped his hand across the Qiankun Shadow Binding Belt.

Instantly, a small beast a few inches in size appeared. Its entire body was covered in golden fur, its nostrils were unusually large, and its eyes were dark and spirited, resembling a macaque.

Tihun looked at the yin wind and ghost fog before it, making ‘吱吱吱’ (zhi zhi zhi) sounds from its mouth, as if excited. A faint yellow light suddenly burst from its large nostrils, directly sweeping up all the yin wind and ghost fog in front of it, and then sucking them into its nostrils and mouth.

“This is…”

The Five Poisons Sect Master looked at the Tihun Beast, her expression slightly surprised.

Although these were just low-level ghosts, she could destroy them with a raise of her hand.

However, the aura on the Tihun Beast and the light that just burst from its nostrils gave her a strange sense of trepidation, realizing that the Tihun Beast before her was not simple!

“It’s alright.”

Lu Changsheng looked at this scene, his expression calm. He also wanted to take this opportunity to see the Tihun Beast’s combat power.

He lightly raised his hand, placed the Tihun Beast on his shoulder, and then went deeper into the Myriad Demon Abyss with A’yueduo.

Along the way, any yin wind, ghost fog, or any malevolent ghosts that appeared would cause Tihun to let out a forceful snort. From its nostrils, a faint yellow light would burst forth, sweeping them up and drawing them into its mouth.

Even a Third-Tier Ghost King was powerless to resist the Tihun Beast.

As for Demonic Beasts, the Tihun Beast had no way to directly devour them with its divine ability; it could only suppress them through its Soul Capturing Divine Light.

“Unless it transforms into its combat state, under normal circumstances, the Tihun Beast’s restraint on spirit Ghost Kings is more obvious.”

Lu Changsheng knew that when facing Demonic Beasts, Corpse Kings, and other demonic cultivators, the Tihun Beast had to enter its combat state to transform into a true bane of demons and evil, a Beast of Punishment.

However, for him, the Tihun Beast in its current state was already sufficient.

Malevolent ghosts were directly devoured by the Tihun Beast, turning into its food; Demonic Beasts and Corpse-transformed monsters were suppressed by the Tihun Beast, and he easily killed them with a single sword strike.

The Myriad Demon Abyss, which was extremely dangerous in the eyes of outsiders, directly turned into a resource treasure trove for Lu Changsheng.

Even the Five Poisons Sect Master was stunned by this scene, filled with awe.

After all, Nascent Soul cultivators entering the Myriad Demon Abyss would not casually make a move to avoid excessive consumption of magical power and physical strength.

But the Tihun Beast on Lu Changsheng’s shoulder, devouring souls and eating ghosts, directly fed on the Ghost Kings of the Myriad Demon Abyss. It showed no fear of consumption and even grew stronger, which was simply unsolvable.

“Besides the previous Golden Peng, Master actually has such a spirit beast, and this mysterious light has a natural suppressive effect on the demonic path…”

Even though the Five Poisons Sect Master was well-informed, she did not recognize the Tihun Beast.

She could only tell that its divine ability had a certain restraint on demonic cultivators.

“Master brought this spirit beast to the Jin State, is he not preparing to cause trouble for the Nether Ghost Sect?”

A’yueduo’s heart skipped a beat as she speculated.

She could tell that although this little beast restrained the demonic path, it was even more effective against ghost kings and spirits without physical bodies.

A Third-Tier Ghost King, for example, had no ability to resist in front of this Tihun Beast.

If the Nether Ghost Sect encountered this spirit beast, they would likely be crippled by half.

Just like that, Lu Changsheng and A’yueduo swept through the Myriad Demon Abyss.

Although Tihun could not fully restrain Demonic Beasts, it was very sensitive to the aura of demons and evil creatures.

It could sense the location of nearby Ghost Kings and Demonic Beasts through its sense of smell and a mysterious intuition.

If a Ghost King or Demonic Beast approached, it could also be alerted immediately.

“A top-tier Third-Tier Yin Fiend Demonic Vine, not bad. It can be used to refine a whip magical treasure, or as the main ingredient for refining Demonic Fiend Pills…”

The Myriad Demon Abyss was filled with demonic energy, fiendish energy, ghostly energy, and turbid energy, making it very barren, with hardly any spiritual herbs to be seen.

But under these circumstances, some heavenly materials and earthly treasures that were rarely seen in the outside world would still be born.

“Roar!!!”

After a long time, Lu Changsheng and A’yueduo arrived at the territory of a Fourth-Tier Demonic Beast.

When they had come to the Myriad Demon Abyss before, if they encountered a Fourth-Tier Demonic Beast, they would avoid it if possible. If they couldn’t avoid it, they would only try their best to repel it, not engage in a head-on battle.

But on this trip, besides helping A’yueduo find the [Gu God Bowl], Lu Changsheng’s purpose was to hunt Fourth-Tier Demonic Beasts!

Sensing the powerful demonic aura roaring and rushing towards him, Lu Changsheng was completely fearless. His Fourth-Tier physique began to recover.

His powerful and vast qi and blood erupted like an ancient volcano, spreading out and shattering the black fog in all directions, engulfing an area of several dozen miles.

Many malevolent ghosts screamed and directly vanished, turning into flying ash.

“This aura, Master has indeed broken through to the Fourth-Tier Body Refinement!”

A’yueduo had previously speculated that Lu Changsheng’s strength had increased, especially in terms of body refinement.

Now, seeing Lu Changsheng’s aura fully unleashed, she was instantly certain, her heart filled with shock.

After all, Lu Changsheng was not a cultivator who primarily focused on body refinement and did not possess the divine abilities of a true body cultivator.

To break through to the Fourth-Tier, just like Nascent Soul cultivators, he needed to face the Heavenly Tribulation.

But with such a physique and physical body, it was extremely difficult to pass the Heavenly Tribulation!

“However, with Master’s strength, the Fourth-Tier Body Refinement Heavenly Tribulation doesn’t seem to be a difficult matter…”

Thinking of Lu Changsheng’s achievements in the Vast Sands Illusory Realm, A’yueduo felt that Fourth-Tier Body Refinement was not such an astonishing thing after all.

After all, compared to prioritizing the breakthrough to Fourth-Tier Body Refinement, a Core Formation cultivator defeating a Nascent Soul True Monarch was even more terrifying.

Seeing a hundred-zhang-tall two-headed Demonic Lizard roaring towards them, stirring up endless flying sand and stones, along with a foul stench, the Five Poisons Sect Master stopped thinking and unleashed her innate spiritual treasure, the [Five Poisons Ten Thousand Fiends Banner].

The long banner fluttered, displaying colorful, lifelike spiritual snakes, poisonous scorpions, centipedes, spiders, and toads, which seemed to have come alive from within, causing a surge of poisonous gas to permeate the surroundings.

“Caw! Squeak squeak!!!”

The Golden Winged Heavenly Peng and the Tihun Beast also looked at the charging two-headed Demonic Lizard, full of fighting spirit.
