Chapter 1162 -406: Hunting the Demon King, Chain Reaction! Venerable Huxiao returned to the Spirit Taming Sect, riding the Spiritual Beast White Tiger. After a brief reorganization, he went to the palace atop Mount Yuling. “Sect Leader Brother, Sister Huoyu, are you both here?” Upon entering the palace, Venerable Huxiao saw the Sect Leader of Yuling Sect discussing matters with a Nascent Soul Immortal and expressed his surprise. “Venerable Huxiao, weren’t you heading to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range? Was everything smooth?” The Sect Leader of Yuling Sect noticed that Venerable Huxiao’s magic aura was a bit rushed and chaotic, having expended a great deal of mana, and had just experienced a major battle. He voiced his concern. “Sect Leader Brother, I was engaged in battle with the Wind Thunder Houn when I encountered a Core Formation Grand Cultivator…” Venerable Huxiao immediately spoke up, recounting the incident with Lu Changsheng. “What, a Core Formation Grand Cultivator!” “Another unknown Nascent Soul True Person has appeared?” The Sect Leader of Yuling Sect and Sister Huoyu looked at each other in astonishment upon hearing this. “Another?” Venerable Huxiao was taken aback by this remark, sensing that something was amiss. “Sister Huoyu came back with news from the Heavenly Sword Sect that several Nascent Soul True Persons have infiltrated our Jiang Country, most likely for the Tianyuan Secret Realm. They advised us to be extra vigilant…” The Sect Leader of Yuling Sect spoke gravely, then with a serious expression inquired: “Venerable Huxiao, you said this person suppressed the Wind Thunder Houn with a single divine skill. Can you discern which power or lineage this person comes from?” “I’m not sure; this person’s divine abilities seem to contain the flow of Yin Yang Qi, somewhat reminiscent of the methods of the Yin Yang Sect, but their mana was overwhelming and dignified, not like the Yin Yang Sect,” Venerable Huxiao shook his head. “Moreover, this person’s magical power was extraordinarily profound, as if imbued with an undying essence, likely a Golden Core True Person.” “Otherwise, the Wind Thunder Houn, even weakened, would not have been easily suppressed and detained by him!” “But I have never heard of such a Core Formation Grand Cultivator from any faction!” Venerable Huxiao spoke with a grave expression, continuing on. If Lu Changsheng only managed to kill the Wind Thunder Houn by catching it off guard, Venerable Huxiao wouldn’t have been so shocked. But the divine skill that captured and detained the Wind Thunder Houn truly startled him. “Golden Core Grand Cultivator…” The complexions of the Sect Leader of Yuling Sect and Sister Huoyu both turned grave upon hearing this. A Superior Gold Core represents the cream of the crop among those of the same tier! Not only was this person a Core Formation Grand Cultivator, but also potentially a Golden Core True Person, which was truly terrifying. Such an existence in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, within the domain of their Spirit Taming Sect, was indeed cause for concern. Especially at this sensitive time. “It seems the Tianyuan Secret Realm has been deliberately publicized; otherwise, there wouldn’t be such Golden Core Grand Cultivators coming to our Jiang Country!” Sister Huoyu spoke in a heavy tone. “Venerable Huxiao, that person didn’t attack you?” The Sect Leader of Yuling Sect looked at Venerable Huxiao and asked. “It seems he had no malicious intent, but he demanded a map of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range and information on the Demon Kings from me, so I had to be cautious.” Venerable Huxiao spoke. During those years of the Beast Tide, their Spirit Taming Sect was severely weakened. Although they have recovered much over the years thanks to the abundant gains from the Beast Tide, they couldn’t withstand further turmoil. “A map of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range? Since that person had no great hostility, we should refrain from acting rashly for now.” “Regarding this matter, I’ll immediately send a message to the Heavenly Sword Sect to see what their intentions are,” the Sect Leader of Yuling Sect said after pondering for a while. While the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm has the Four Great Immortal Sects, it’s essentially the Heavenly Sword Sect that leads. Now that the situation is getting more serious, with the appearance of Core Formation Cultivators, they naturally want to see how the Heavenly Sword Sect plans to respond. Whether it will be to take the initiative to strike, set a trap, or lure the enemy deeper. … The Myriad Beasts Mountain Range. Inside a cave. “No wonder most Nascent Soul True Persons, even if they are Third-level Array Masters, Alchemists, Artifact Refiners, or Talisman Masters, rarely earn money through these Skills.” “With such strength, they simply do not value the hard-earned money from Skills. “At most, they refine pills or create artifacts out of personal relationships for friends and juniors, or use their skills to cultivate their minds and gain insights through analogy.” Lu Changsheng cleaned the cave of the Wind Thunder Houn. He not only obtained the Third-Order Spirit Vein, the Thunderstorm Vein, but also a heap of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures. Apart from the Origin Source of the Spirit Vein, the Thunderstorm Vein, just the Thunderstorm Crystals and these treasures were worth hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones. Not to mention the most precious Wind Thunder Houn itself. As a Third Rank Demon King, it was a true treasure trove. This was the very reason why Lu Changsheng was willing to expend Great Magical Power to subdue and detain it with the Yin Yang Qi Grasp before killing it. To keep its body as intact as possible. Otherwise, if the body is damaged, its value would greatly diminish. “Although this Wind Thunder Houn is a Third Rank Demon King, capable of forming Blood Essence Spirit Light, its divine abilities are not suitable for me…” Lu Changsheng examined the Jade Slip from the Roaring True Person and began to consider which Demon King to hunt next. This Wind Thunder Houn was quite good, but its Innate Divine Ability was an Offensive Divine Ability. With his own Offensive Divine Abilities, Talismans, Third Order Body Refining, Thunder Gang Dragon Flame, and Nine-Colored Tribulation Light, he was not lacking in offensive techniques. The same held true for defense. With Body Refinement, Protective Divine Light, Yin Yang Mysterious Divine Light, and the Fourth Grade Life-Substitute Talisman. So in his view, the Divine Ability awakened by the Taiyi Soul Body must be carefully chosen to be of help to him. “Hmm, the Void Mouse King, Third-rank Early Stage, has the Innate Ability of concealment and stealth. Unless faced with a Nascent Soul True Lord, once it goes into hiding, it is difficult to detect its presence or trace.” “Acquiring this ability would be good, but that Mouse King is probably not easy to find.” “The Blazing Gold Toad, Third Order Middle Stage, has the Innate Ability to devour the Heavenly Spiritual Fire, which can form an unparalleled divine flame.”
