Chapter 245 The Little Taoist Priest and the Peach Blossom Demon 2
She stepped harder and looked at "Tao Shu" hatefully.
"I really want to dig out your eyes and your face. You used these to seduce my senior brother to fall in love with you."
There was a flash of light in Xiyue's hand, and an exquisite spiritual dagger instantly appeared in her hand.
"Ahhh-"
The sudden stinging pain on her face and eyes made Tao Shu scream out.
As if she had let out some of her anger, Xiyue's voice became a lot lighter, and she continued to say words that made "Tao Shu" feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.
"It was because of you that we tricked our senior brother into the secret realm. Our eldest senior brother only mentioned your name briefly, and he surrendered and ate the magic fruit obediently. It was because of you that he fell into the devil's way! But do you know? I really hate you!"
Xiyue exerted force with her fingertips, and the dagger cut a gash on Tao Shu's face.
"Tao Shu" seemed not to feel the pain. She stared blankly at the sky, tears stained with blood slowly flowing down.
At this moment, the pain on her face was not even one ten-thousandth of the pain coming from the tip of her heart. Her heart seemed to be cut off by a knife, and she was suffocating with pain.
Turns out...it was her!
That cause is her!
"You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"
Seeing that "Tao Shu" had no expression of pain and even didn't say a word, Xiyue became more and more agitated. She stabbed her flesh vigorously with the knife, as if she was dealing with a dead object. Her clothes were also stained with blood from the blade.
"Tao Shu" remained in her own thoughts in a daze until her consciousness gradually faded away.
A surge of demonic energy suddenly exploded into the sky, breaking the illusion array. However, the strong demonic energy surging from the people in the array became more and more obvious.
Fang Yan's eyes were red as he looked at the horrific scene in front of him. He forced himself to suppress the inner demon that had been lingering in his heart, and shot a strong demonic energy towards Xiyue.
Xiyue was unable to dodge, and when she was about to be hit by the evil energy, an ice curtain blocked her way.
It was Xia Xingyu, who was not far away, who noticed the unusual movement and rushed over immediately.
He looked at Fang Yan, who had forcefully broken through the illusion array with demonic energy rising from his body, and then glanced at "Tao Shu", whose flesh and blood were spread out on the ground in a scary mess. Instead, he laughed softly.
“Junior brother, it seems that you really care about this peach blossom demon! You actually dared to break through the illusion array by force! Your Tao heart is unstable. The stronger the demonic energy is, the more spiritual power will repel it. Before long, you will explode and die! Hahahahaha…”
Fang Yan said nothing, his eyes red as he madly attacked the spiritual energy barrier. As waves of demonic energy became stronger and stronger, an expression of struggle and pain flashed across Fang Yan's face from time to time.
The next moment, he suddenly stopped and looked at the Peach Blossom Demon who was completely lifeless on the ground.
He gently picked her up, looked at her bloody face, and held her gently in his arms. Demonic energy instantly surrounded the two of them.
In an instant, there was a "bang" sound, and there was no one in front of him, only a peach petal slowly falling to the ground.
After Jiang Yueshu received the memories, the strong sadness in her heart slowly eased.
After she adjusted her mood, she began to look around. She existed in the state of a soul at this time, and there was an extremely empty space. She thought that this must be the sea of consciousness of "Tao Shu".
The next moment, she closed her eyes again and tried to communicate with "Tao Shu".
A flash of light passed by, and a peach tree in the peach forest suddenly disappeared, and the figure of a woman slowly appeared.
She looked at everything around her in a trance, and her consciousness became clearer.
Feeling the movement in her sea of consciousness, her mind moved, and the next moment, two similar-looking souls stood facing each other.
"Miss, my soul has been damaged. I think I will have to trouble you in the days to come. When you see Brother Fang, I will appear automatically." Tao Shu said in a soft voice.
Jiang Yueshu looked at the other person's soul, which was much more transparent than her own, and nodded, "Okay, then you can slowly repair it."
Tao Shu just smiled, and instantly the person controlling this body became Jiang Yueshu.
At this moment, a fairy paper crane suddenly flew towards him.
Jiang Yueshu's mind moved, and the paper crane immediately appeared in her hand. The next moment, a clear and smooth male voice sounded in her ears.
"Shushu, I've already arrived at Qingyun Sect, just wait patiently!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the paper crane in front of him disappeared into thin air.
I guess this was the time when Fang Yan was recalled by Qingyun Sect.
Jiang Yueshu thought about it and quickly headed towards the Qingyun Sect.
Since Xiyue said at the beginning that Fang Yan was forced to eat the magic fruit in the secret realm by them, it seems that they will go to the secret realm together soon to make better plans.
After all, although there are many cultivators in a large sect like the Qingyun Sect, it is still very few compared to the millions of ordinary people.
The sect has a rule that disciples are not allowed to fight among themselves. If there is a deep hatred between them, they must go to the life and death stage on their own to make a life and death agreement, regardless of life or death.
Otherwise, if the disciples in the sect just fight and kill each other, causing casualties, it will only make the sect's population even smaller, which is not conducive to the sect's long-term development.
Therefore, she must always pay attention to the Qingyun Sect disciples going down the mountain and try to meet Fang Yan.
It was not until dusk that Jiang Yueshu arrived near Qingyun Sect.
But looking at the Qingyun Sect's mountain protection formation that was covering the entire mountain like a thin layer of mist, Jiang Yueshu couldn't help but stop.
She hid behind a tree, sat cross-legged, and slowly transferred her magic power into the earth, feeling all the living things around her.
Because of her true form as a peach blossom demon, most of the flowers, plants and trees in the forest were naturally friendly to her. Under her intentional manipulation, the tips of the plants around Qingyun Sect quietly emerged, as if they were paying attention to the movements ahead.
After monitoring the plants and trees all around, Jiang Yueshu regained his focus and slowly exhaled.
Although these did not consume much demonic power, they covered a wide area and consumed a lot of the mind, so Jiang Yueshu's face turned slightly pale after all the operations.
Perhaps because it is close to Qingyun Sect, Jiang Yueshu feels that the spiritual energy here seems to be more dense.
Her eyes lit up, and she immediately relaxed all the pores on her body, concentrating on feeling the spiritual energy around her and practicing slowly.
After the demon cultivators awaken their spiritual intelligence, they begin to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into demonic power, thus starting the path of cultivation.
In the world of immortal cultivation, no matter which side the practitioners belong to, they all follow the unified division of cultivation levels, which are the six major realms: Qi training stage, foundation building stage, golden elixir stage, Nascent Soul stage, out-of-body stage, and spirit transformation stage. Each major realm is further divided into four minor realms: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak stage.
But in today's world of immortal cultivation, perhaps due to the lack of spiritual energy, there has not been any great being in the Spirit Transformation Stage who has survived the catastrophe and ascended to heaven for many years.
At the same time, Tao Shu in his sea of consciousness felt something and also sat cross-legged to practice.
After a whole night passed, the girl sitting cross-legged on the ground slowly opened her eyes. Although she had not slept all night, she felt particularly refreshed, and the demonic power in her body was replenished a lot.
If there wasn't something else that needed to be arranged, she would probably want to stay here and practice.
She told the plants and trees around the mountain to notify her immediately if they saw anyone.
After giving the instructions, Jiang Yueshu continued to practice.
Xia Xingyu's strength is higher than hers and Fang Yan. If she wants to change the fate of herself and Fang Yan, she must improve her own strength.
Soon, several disciples from Qingyun Sect came down the mountain one after another.
Jiang Yueshu observed the cultivation levels of those disciples calmly. When he saw that their cultivation levels were similar to or lower than his own, he would change his appearance and ask them about the news in Qingyun Sect.
For three consecutive days, Jiang Yueshu had not seen Xia Xingyu, Xiyue and Fang Yan. It seemed that they had not yet come down the mountain.
Jiang Yueshu got a rough idea after hearing a lot of information from other disciples.
It is said that a disciple of Xuanmen, one of the three sects and one school, accidentally discovered a secret realm while he was out for training. The secret realm was sealed and required the combined efforts of the elders of the three sects and one school to open it.
As soon as this happened, the leaders of the three sects and one school immediately discussed the matter and sent powerful people from each sect to investigate. After everyone worked together to open the secret realm, they found that there were restrictions in the secret realm and only cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage could enter the secret realm.
So after the four sects discussed it, they each selected some good seedlings from within their sect to go to the secret realm for training, and set a time of one month to go to the secret realm together.
In addition, Jiang Yueshu also inquired about the news of Fang Yan and the other two.
But perhaps because his strength was not high, at most he could only ask monks who were slightly stronger than him, and they were not clear about the specific situation.
Jiang Yueshu specifically inquired about Xia Xingyu's cultivation level. He is now at the peak of the Golden Core stage. According to the disciples in the sect, Xia Xingyu seems to be interested in going to the secret realm for training, so he has been suppressing his cultivation level. Although he is at the peak of the Golden Core stage on the surface, he has actually entered the realm of Half-Step Nascent Soul.
For a moment, Jiang Yueshu also felt a little tricky. She remembered that Fang Yan was in the middle stage of the Golden Core before he left, but she didn't know how strong he would be at that time.
As for his own cultivation, he is currently only at the late stage of foundation building.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yueshu could only calm down, try his best to absorb the spiritual energy around him, and strive to improve his cultivation.
Knowing that Fang Yan and the others would not be coming down the mountain for the time being and that there were no other important matters at the moment, Jiang Yueshu simply stopped paying attention to other things and completely secluded herself for five days.
On this day, she suddenly felt that the demonic power in her body had reached a saturated state. She had a vague feeling, so she continued to absorb the demonic power and compress it continuously until she clearly felt a barrier. She carefully used all her demonic power to hit the barrier.
After hitting it several times in a row, the barrier finally felt slightly loose. Jiang Yueshu immediately perked up and continued to use his magic power to attack the barrier with all his heart and soul.
Until beads of sweat appeared on Jiang Yueshu's forehead, she still gritted her teeth and continued to bombard the crumbling obstacle with all her concentration. The next moment, a "bang" sounded.
Jiang Yueshu looked at the disappearing barrier, feeling the spiritual energy pouring in, raised her lips slightly, and continuously transformed it into demonic power.
She broke through!
Now she has reached the peak of foundation building!
Calculating the time, there is only half a month left before the one-month deadline.
Jiang Yueshu continued to ask the plant spirits to keep an eye on the movements of Qingyun Sect, while she went directly to the Ziyun Mountains not far from Qingyun Sect.
Before entering the secret realm, she had to make some preparations. At the very least, she needed a spiritual weapon that could isolate the evil spirit to avoid being discovered by the elders of the sect.
But no matter where you are, if you want to buy spiritual weapons, spiritual stones are essential.
But as she was just a little demon, her pockets were naturally empty.
According to the disciples in Qingyun Sect, they often go to Ziyun Mountains to complete tasks to obtain contribution points for the sect, and then exchange the contribution points for what they need.
If they are luckier, they might encounter good opportunities in Ziyun Mountains. Jiang Yueshu is in urgent need of spirit stones now, so naturally he has to go there.
Seven days later, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of Ziyun Mountains.
In an instant, a gray figure appeared outside the Ziyun Mountains, barely avoiding an attack from a sharp claw.
Jiang Yueshu looked back at the huge rhinoceros beast that was blocked by the ban and breathed a sigh of relief.
The monster's eyes were wide open, staring at the spiritual herb in Jiang Yueshu's hand that seemed to still emit sparks. It angrily beat against the restriction, and the next second it was bounced out by the huge reaction force of the restriction.
"Phew - luckily I got the Flame Grass."
Jiang Yueshu chuckled and used his magic power to preserve the flame grass in his hand.
These days, she has been looking for various powerful monsters to fight in the Ziyun Mountains, and also looking for various spiritual herbs and medicines.
She didn't pay attention for a moment and walked a little too deep, and happened to come across a flame grass that was about to mature. Who knew that it was the territory of this rhinoceros beast, and its cultivation level had reached the middle stage of the Golden Core.
Jiang Yueshu looked at the Flame Grass with some envy. This spiritual herb was extremely suitable for cultivators with only fire spiritual roots, and it should be of great value.
Perhaps because it would take another three to five days for the Flame Grass to mature, the Rhino-Horned Beast just closed its eyes and rested beside the cave, and did not guard the Flame Grass all the time.
Jiang Yueshu stayed there until midnight, and while the rhinoceros was sleeping, she quietly moved to the side of the flame grass and quickly pulled out the grass.
But within three or five breaths, the huge rhinoceros beast suddenly woke up as if it had sensed something, and stared directly at the flame grass in Jiang Yueshu's hand.
Seeing this, Jiang Yueshu immediately fled forward at a high speed. She kept passing through various narrow woods. The rhinoceros's huge body rushed into the towering trees. The trees fell down, only slowing down its speed a little.
Seeing the rhinoceros' eyes blazing with anger and its speed increasing instead of decreasing, Jiang Yueshu had no choice but to escape at all kinds of tricky angles, trying to use the various rocks and trees in the mountains to consume some of its strength.
Along the way, she ran away while casting an illusion to confuse the rhinoceros beast. With her efforts, the distance between the demon and the beast was kept at a certain distance.
But as they got closer to the entrance of Ziyun Mountains, the surrounding area became flat and there were few things that could stop the rhinoceros beast. Jiang Yueshu had no choice but to quickly consume his magic power and flee forward.
