Chapter 358: Undercurrent
Yunxia Sect, the shocking news of the birth of a fourth-level demon king in the mountain sect spread quickly throughout the sect.
The auspicious cloud vision of successfully overcoming the tribulation, and even the terrifying coercion exuded by the demon king in disguise, are difficult to conceal from the outside world.
“Auspicious auspiciousness descends from the sky, the sacred beast is born, and our sect has the potential to prosper!”
Many middle- and high-level monks, with their hearts surging, stopped and looked at the inner peak close to the fourth-order spiritual vein.
Some middle-level monks, who are simply curious and want to admire the appearance of the Demon King in disguise, are also waiting in the outer circle.
In the Qingluan Peak Cave Mansion, Xiao Qingshan was so far away from each other that he could see the celestial phenomenon of transcending the tribulation in the distance.
At first, like the outside world, he thought that Elder Xiang was doing his best to take care of the cave at the main peak, so he didn't think much about it.
It was not until the sixth level of thunder tribulation that Xiao Qingshan realized that things were not simple.
Not long ago, a demonic aura that made his scalp numb came from near the Yunxia Sect's fourth-level spiritual veins.
Xiao Qingshan was still in shock. Before he had time to think and explore the truth, he headed straight for Qingluan Peak with several rays of light.
Two of them are the late-stage Foundation Establishment steward and the fake elixir master who are relatively close to each other.
“Junior Brother Xiao, congratulations! The spiritual beast of Elder Xiang of Guifeng has successfully overcome the tribulation and transformed into shape!”
The leader of the group, False Dan Zhenren, held his hands in congratulations and smiled broadly.
Several friends who came over to congratulate me could not hide their envy.
The Demon King in Transformation is a terrifying creature comparable to the True Monarch Nascent Soul!
Since then, Elder Xiang, the master of the holy beast, has been basically on an equal footing with True Lord Nascent Soul.
As the chief steward of Qingluan Peak, Xiao Qingshan will definitely become a powerful figure in the family.
“Master Shu has become the demon king in disguise? Is this serious?”
Xiao Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and his heart was shocked.
The real spirit rat occasionally interacted with Xiao Qingshan on weekdays. The good news at this moment made him feel like he was in a dream, with an unreal feeling.
After repeated confirmation, Xiao Qingshan was elated and excited.
Previously, as the chief steward of the main peak of Danjie Daxiu, he had a superior status in the sect.
He never expected that the main peak he managed would give birth to a fourth-level sect sacred beast.
Xiao Qingshan felt as if he was standing on the wind, and with a little effort, he could take off in the wind.
“Senior Brother Xiao, for such a great event, you must congratulate the elders as soon as possible.”
Xiao Qingshan explained what happened on the peak, and surrounded by several friends, headed to the hinterland of the mountain gate.
At a mountain peak close to the hinterland of the fourth-level spiritual veins, many monks from the Yunxia Sect gathered to watch.
The people at the forefront are all the real people who build the core, and ordinary foundation-building monks are not qualified to get close.
“Steward Xiao, I’m very happy to congratulate you.”
There were many Master Jie Dan present, with friendly smiles, and took the initiative to show their goodwill and greet Xiao Qingshan, including many elders from the inner sect.
It is well known in Yunxia Sect that Xiao Qingshan is Elder Xiang’s only confidant.
The crowd in the outer circle is automatically separated.
Xiao Qingshan, a foundation-building monk, came to the front of the mountain peak under the sound of many congratulations and met with several Zhendan elders.
“Qingshan, Aunt Mei has long seen that you are blessed with deep blessings, and there will be good fortune in the future.”
One of the female elders of Zhendan is about forty or fifty years old. She has a thin face and white hair on her temples. Although she looks old, her facial features are beautiful and she has a noble temperament like a green bamboo and a bright moon.
“Yumei Zhenren is ridiculous, Qingshan is just lucky.”
Xiao Qingshan is neither humble nor arrogant.
Mr. Yumei is the master of his childhood sweetheart Yi Shuzhen. He had no social contact at all before.
When Xiao Qingshan was in decline, Yi Shuzhen even looked down on the former, prompting her to regret the marriage, let alone Elder Yumei, her master.
Yumei Zhenren looked at the forbidden area where the transformed demon was born, and sighed in his heart, feeling a little regretful.
Originally, her master and apprentice were closely related to Qingluan Peak.
When Elder Xiang first entered the sect, Sect Master Hu brought the two of them together as Taoist couples.
It is a pity that Xiang Zhenren is an ascetic monk and is not close to women, so he did not achieve this good marriage.
Yumei Zhenren's thoughts changed. Since Xiao Qingshan became prosperous, her disciple Yi Shuzhen has become more picky in recent years. She is still single and has no Taoist partner.
If you start from this point, you can continue to walk in the same lineage as Elder Xiang.
Zhenren Yumei was thoughtful and said with a smile: "Qingshan, come and sit in Aunt Mei's cave when you have time. Zhen'er has always been in love with you over the years."
Xiao Qingshan responded politely and secretly cursed, now that things have happened, do you still want to get back together?
At this time, another voice transmission was heard from Master Yumei: "Shu Zhen committed her own sin and missed the opportunity to become your wife. However, Qingshan Qingshan has outstanding talents in Shuangxiu and will definitely take concubines in the future..."
Xiao Qingshan was stunned and speechless.
Yumei Zhenren is an elder in the middle stage of pill formation and has a high status. Is he prepared to let his direct disciples submit and become his concubines?
When Yi Shuzhen persuaded him to break off the engagement, she was ambitious and arrogant, like a proud daughter of heaven.
Xiao Qingshan originally thought that Master Yumei was joking, but with Yi Shuzhen's temperament, she might not agree.
Half a day later, the beautiful figure of the past in a white dress appeared next to Yumei Zhenren.
Yi Shuzhen's makeup is exquisite, her body is plump, she is beautiful and moving, she is shy and timid, and sometimes she makes a secret glance.
Xiao Qingshan felt complicated and sighed secretly. The beloved woman who he had dreamed of back then was now so easy to get, and he was even willing to be a concubine.
Master Yumei took Yi Shuzhen and planned to come over to communicate with Xiao Qingshan.
"Qingshan, come here! I have something to talk to you about..."
At this time, an old voice sounded, coming from the clouds above the mountain, accompanied by the spiritual pressure of the pill-forming overhaul.
“Sect Leader Hu!”
Zhenren Yumei’s face froze, and she and Yi Shuzhen stopped in their tracks.
“I’ve met the sect leader.”
The Master Jiedan and the Foundation-Building monks who were waiting on the mountain looked respectful and saluted one after another.
“Qingshan obeys orders.”
Xiao Qingshan took a deep breath, bowed his hands, flew to the clouds above the inner peak, and talked with the old white-bearded Sect Leader Hu.
Sect leader Yunxia summoned him to talk alone, and Xiao Qingshan was flattered.
Zongzhu Hu looked kind, approachable, and had no airs. Xiao Qingshan quickly calmed down.
“Not good! Among the disciples of Sect Master Hu, there is a foundation-building female cultivator, who was born beautiful and even more chaste..."
Yumei Zhenren quickly realized something and his face turned ugly.
Although Sect Master Hu did not live long and had reached the stage of abdicating the throne, the power of his lineage in the sect was very important.
“青山…”
Yi Shuzhen looked ashamed, looking at her former lover who was in the prime of life, with mixed feelings in her heart.
…
half a month later.
The aura of the demon king who crossed the forbidden land has been restrained, and the previous sense of oppression no longer exists.
After the rock rat consolidated its realm, it finally stood up and stood in a humanoid posture. The hair on its body was dark rock color, but its head and limbs were still in the form of a rat.
After the demon beast advances to the fourth level of Demon King, it can realize the magical power of transformation and transform into human form, so it is called the transformation stage.
However, this process does not happen overnight.
Some demon kings do not like the human form and would rather maintain their original bodies or walk around the world with some of the characteristics of their original bodies.
There are also some special species with top bloodlines that are still unable to transform at the fourth level, such as descendants of true spirit bloodlines.
“The mouse ‘Diyanjun’, thanks the owner for protecting the law.”
The rock rat maintained the body shape of a normal human, with a gentle voice, and bowed to Lu Chang'an.
Diyanjun is the Taoist title given to himself by Diyanrat after he achieved great power.
Looking at Daqing and even the Great Abyss over the past ten thousand years, there is no example of a rock rat becoming a demon king in form.
A normal rock rat, but with a mid-level bloodline. It is more practical in the early stage, but it is a race with insufficient stamina potential.
In fact, this is a characteristic of most rat demons.
Lu Changan glanced at the Earth Rock Rat. It was different to become the Demon King. He knew that he had taken his own path.
He originally planned to give him a domineering name such as Earth Demon King or Earth Rock Rat King, as his number one protector, to intimidate Xiao Xiao's disciples.
“Congratulations to ‘Diyan Lord’ for entering the fourth level of transformation.”
Two True Lords, Yunlan and Zixia, came together to congratulate me.
The Earth Rock Rat's humble return gift was not as ferocious as the Peerless Demon King, and was even a little shy, giving the two true kings an impression of diligence and honesty.
On the contrary, the master Lu Changan was put aside.
Zhenjun Zixia also expressed her love for the rock rat, but she was more reserved and reserved.
Lu Changan sensed True Lord Yun Lan’s intention. If you are an ordinary alchemy monk, and your spiritual pet is unexpectedly promoted to the fourth level, your primary and secondary status will inevitably change.
If the relationship is not good and the spiritual contract is not restrained enough, we do not rule out the possibility of becoming a guest.
No matter how bad things are, you must be equal to your master and respect each other.
The transformed monsters have extraordinary intelligence. Given the huge gap in realms, if the master of the pill formation still wants to be used as a bull and a horse to push him around, he will be in trouble.
Zhenjun Yunlan obviously understood this and showed goodwill to the Earth Rock Rat and built a relationship with him.
Once a consensus is reached with the Earth Rock Rat, even if Lu Changan completely surrenders to True Lord Zixia, his arm will not be able to twist his thigh.
“Senior brother, Lord Diyan is the fourth-level demon king and can no longer submit to the dojo of the third-level spiritual veins. I propose that a separate underground palace dojo be opened for Lord Diyan on the fourth-level spiritual veins.”
Zhenjun Zixia suggested in a gentle voice.
“This is the treatment Diyanjun deserves, and this matter must be arranged as soon as possible.”
Zhenjun Yunlan nodded and agreed without hesitation.
Lu Changan and Earth Rock Rat looked at each other and smiled. The two expressed their gratitude and exchanged greetings for a while.
Subsequently, the two true monarchs mentioned the "Transformation Ceremony" and asked for their opinions.
Yunxia Sect gave birth to a great demon in disguise, which was comparable to the birth of an extra Nascent Soul Lord. Normally, a celebration would be held and all forces would be invited.
Lu Changan thought that the Earth Rock Rat had been promoted to the transformational form and was completely destitute, so it might be a good idea to hold a celebration.
Today's Yunxia Sect has three great Nascent Soul combat powers, which can completely suppress the situation.
The celebration time is tentatively scheduled for half a year.
“Let the two true kings worry about you, and a certain family will take Mr. Diyan back to the cave to rest.”
After talking about business, Lu Changan no longer gave True Lord Yunlan a chance to get close to the Earth Rock Rat, and drove back to his home in the Escape.
The Earth Rock Rat lowered his eyebrows and stood beside Lu Changan, one step behind, with a respectful posture, like a servant.
The two true kings looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the backs of one man and one rat.
After being promoted to incarnation, Lord Diyan still respects and obeys Elder Xiang.
"Di Yanjun has followed Xiang Zhenren for hundreds of years, and we have shared life and death together. Senior brother, don't waste your efforts."
Zhenjun Zixia pursed her lips and smiled softly.
Zhenjun Yunlan's eyes flickered and he did not deny it.
This kind of deep emotional pet relationship is really difficult for outsiders to poach.
It is simply unrealistic to tame the fourth-level holy beast by killing Elder Xiang.
This is no different from killing one's father and controlling his son, and it will make the Demon King incarnate bear a grudge for the rest of his life.
Even if the ancient beast-controlling sect has the means to forcibly enslave the fourth-level demon king, the gain outweighs the losses. It is equivalent to laying a huge hidden danger that may backfire at any time.
“Junior sister, don’t forget, the ordinary demon king can live for thousands of years...”
Zhenjun Yunlan smiled lightly.
Even if you can't win over the rock rats for a while, you can still make friendship in the long run.
That elder Xiang’s lifespan is far less than that of the Demon King in disguise, how many hundred more years can he live?
Zhenjun Zixia naturally understood this, nodded and said:
“I hope that senior brother will treat Elder Xiang sincerely and leave no loopholes for outside forces. Only in this way will Lord Diyan be willing to serve as the fourth-level holy beast of our sect in the future.”
…
Lu Changan carried the Earth Rock Rat and left the fourth-level spiritual vein forbidden area.
Return to the nearest mountain peak of the inner gate, let the rock rat emit the spiritual pressure of the fourth-level demon king, and accept the congratulations of the sect disciples.
This is at the request of the two true kings.
After the failure of the Yunqing master to conceive a baby, the Yunxia Sect, which has been out of business, has gradually declined in prestige and needs to revitalize its reputation externally.
Lu Changan briefly chatted with Sect Leader Hu and other senior officials, and then returned to Qingluan Peak with Xiao Qingshan, who was greeting him respectfully.
Back at the main peak dojo, the Earth Rock Rat turned into an earthy yellow halo and escaped into the ground in a flash.
Underground secret room.
Xuan Shui Turtle stood guard in front of the Xuan Vine, watching the Earth Rock Rat that exuded the aura of the Demon King slowly approaching. He couldn't help but tremble, and his head instinctively retracted into the turtle shell.
Half an hour later.
The rock rat relaxed his body and lay lazily in the bath with his eyes closed.
Poof! puff! puff!
Xuan Shui Turtle struggled to spit out jets of dark green spiritual water, beating and nourishing the body of the fourth-level rat king, helping it speed up the repair of the injuries left in the catastrophe.
In the quiet room of the cave above his head, Lu Changan did not interfere with the friendly relationship between the two spiritual pets.
The Earth Rock Rat has been promoted to the fourth level. In the past half month, his excitement has calmed down.
At this moment, Lu Changan was thinking deeply, checking and filling in the gaps.
It is true that Earth Rock Rat has been promoted to the fourth level, making his future cultivation and Nascent Soul Plan more secure.
However, the birth of a fourth-level demon king, while beautiful, cannot avoid being high-profile.
It will inevitably attract the attention of all the major forces in the Dayu Immortal Realm, and even attract the attention of other forces in the Central Abyss.
“Besides, most of the key resources for the Earth Rock Rat’s transformation are obtained through overdraft.”
Lu Changan has not forgotten that he still owes Jing Wufeng a promise to help him complete the risky demon-sealing mission in the future.
At that time, the two signed a third-level spiritual contract, and added the oath of the inner demon.
While the Earth Rock Rat is consolidating its realm and recovering from its injuries.
The shocking news of the birth of a fourth-level holy beast from the Yunxia Sect was known to the upper echelons of the major forces in Dayu through various channels.
…
Dashan Mountain is a ring-shaped mountain shrouded in gray mist all year round. The mysterious deep valley in the center is cold and deep.
The Red Snake Lord was sitting in front of a poisonous pool at the bottom of the valley. The stench and poisonous gas escaping around him made the pill-forming monks feel dizzy after taking one breath.
Hurrah!
In the poisonous pool, a dozen feet of red and black snake tail rolled over the venomous water.
In the center of the poisonous pool covered by thick fog, a red-faced man with an oval head is revealed. His facial skin is covered with dense fine scales, which makes people's hair stand on end.
The red-faced man's eyes were red, and he spit out the snake letter from his mouth, listening to the statement of the Red Snake Lord.
“Yunlan and Zixia have the same skills, so joining forces is already difficult. Now that the rat king has been promoted to the fourth level, his strength has reached a higher level in Dayu Kingdom.”
Dashan is the archenemy of the Yunxia Sect. After hearing the news not long ago, Red Snake True Lord was extremely frightened.
This has added great variability and danger to some of its planned plans.
“That rat demon was promoted to the fourth level, could it be due to the ‘Xuanxin Beast Pill’ you traded?”
The red-faced man, as the snake king in disguise, has keen intuition and stared coldly at True Lord Red Snake.
"Hard to say!"
When Lord Red Snake heard the news, he also felt it was a coincidence.
The Earth Rock Rat was promoted to the fourth level, and there was only one year difference between him and him selling the Xuanxin Beast Pill.
At first, he couldn't help but make associations.
However, the trader was the genuine Nascent Soul Lord, and his spiritual consciousness was on par with him.
If Xiang Dalong was a Yuanying monk, there would be no need to rely on others. Some powerful forces in the chamber of commerce would provide him with fourth-level spiritual veins and help him acquire transformed objects.
Xuanxin Beast Pill is only unpopular, and it is not particularly precious to the veteran Nascent Soul.
Furthermore, according to the internal information he received, Xiang Dalong has not left the mountain gate in the past year, and even obtained a "Shangqing Pill" from Zhenjun Zixia.
Assuming that Xiang Dalong is the Nascent Soul True Monarch, it is impossible for him to practice for decades under the eyes of the two True Monarchs and succumb to the third-level spiritual dojo.
The above details make no logical sense at all.
“Jiejie, if you were the one who made it happen, you’ve done a good deed!”
“The fourth-level rat demon is extremely rare in the entire Great Abyss. If I can swallow this top-notch great elixir tonic, I will have 10% more hope of reaching the mid-level of the fourth level.”
The red-faced man spat out snake letters and licked the corners of his mouth. His cold red eyes showed greed.
“How confident are you that you can take down that rat demon?”
The Red Snake Lord was moved when he thought of the restrained relationship between the two demon kings.
The Red Nether Snake King's strength is a bit stronger than him, and also exceeds that of the ordinary fourth-level demon king.
If you can go one step further and be promoted to the fourth-level mid-level, you can be proud of the Great Universe and become one of the few giants in the Central Region.
"Jie Jie... As long as I can create a chance to be alone, I have the opportunity to strangle him within ten breaths!" The red-faced man said in an arrogant tone, which was the confidence derived from blood instinct.
The child has influenza A, so the number of words today will be shorter.
