Chapter Eighty-Five: Recruitment

  The Wudang Valley is surrounded by a sea of poisonous clouds, with toxic plants and insects everywhere. However, inside the valley, it's surprisingly bright and clear, truly one-of-a-kind.

  The extremely gloomy figure stood still, his body trembling with numbness, as he gazed at this strange valley, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

  A thought stirred in his heart, and he said softly: "I have a method, but I don't know if you'll be willing to part with it."

  The Five Poisonous Scatterperson was overjoyed and said, "Please, Daoist friend, point the way."

  "It's just that this method is a bit sinister, but for the sake of my fellow Taoist, I'm not afraid of heavenly punishment. There's a secret treasure that can refine and transform the toxic clouds in this mountain valley, turning them into pre-heavenly poisonous substances. At that time, it will follow your heart's desire wherever you think of."

  Wu Du San Ren hesitated for a moment, seemingly indecisive in his heart, and his face contorted into an extremely painful expression.

  Ling Tian coldly smiled as he watched all of this, and the Extreme Yin True Person was even more dissatisfied in his heart. Being almost poisoned to death by him was an unparalleled humiliation. Looking at the Five Poisons Scattered People's appearance, he secretly thought: You can pretend, but actually you value the lives of these poisonous creatures. If not, those five congenital poisons would not have passed a million years without opening their spiritual wisdom, and they are still being suppressed by you. It's possible that they were even made foolish by you.

  Wu Du San Ren sighed and said: "Indeed, this is the only way to solve this problem. However, I have been with them day and night for nearly a million years, and my heart really cannot bear it."

  He cursed in his heart: Shameless! You've already made up your mind, yet you're still making excuses for yourself. This is truly the height of shamelessness, wanting to be a prostitute while also putting up a virtuous facade! Hmph, just keep pretending! Sooner or later, heaven will strike you down with lightning!

  Silence, unparalleled stillness.

  The two people who met before the Five Poisonous Scatterers did not continue the conversation, and they were very regretful in their hearts. These two people also didn't know how to praise my sorrowful and sympathetic thoughts, unfortunately, they didn't understand my heart.

  The extremely gloomy true person coldly looked at Wu Du San Ren with an unbearable expression and secretly said: Want to find a way out, no way.

  Wu Du San Ren is also a man of character, hastily kowtowing and begging: "I still hope that fellow Daoist will teach me."

  Ling Tian nodded, extending five fingers towards the Extreme Yin True Person. The Extreme Yin True Person suddenly felt a great sense of relief, pretending to be extremely heartbroken, and reluctantly pulled out five Soul-Gathering Banners.

  The Five Poisonous Scatterers were overjoyed at the sight and paid their respects to the Extreme Yin True Person, saying: "Thanks, fellow Taoist!"

  Ji Yin said in a low voice: "Just thanking him is also too unrealistic."

  The Wudun Scattered Immortal heard this and didn't get angry, instead he said to the Extreme Yin True Person: "I observe that your body is not ordinary, born with a yin attribute, what you say can suppress a bit of the world's toxins, but it's ultimately not good. I have some spiritual fruit to offer you, which will allow you to be immune to all poisons." As he spoke, he took out five colorful spiritual fruits.

  The extremely evil true person's heart way: You this old fellow still count as knowing the situation, forget it, I also don't suffer a loss. Saying that he handed over those five soul flags, teaching him the method of using them.

  The Wudu dispersing person carefully investigated and was overjoyed in his heart, this soul banner is indeed extraordinary, it can condense the souls of the Honghuang living beings, refine the souls, use the poisonous cloud in the banner to condense the body, although not as good as the original body, but also has seven or eight layers of power, and there is still growth potential.

  The Five Poisonous Scatterer and the two men from the Heavenly Murder sect saluted each other, saying: "Thank you, fellow Taoist. It's just that the material of this banner is a bit poor."

  "Yin True Person said: 'We come from the edge of the world, where there's nothing good to be found. Fellow Daoist can try refining it again. The few tall trees in the mountain valley are not bad, they're naturally spiritual roots and can nourish poisonous substances.'"

  The poisonous cloud of toxins was absorbed by the Five Poisons Flag of the Five Poisons Scatterer, and the land within a radius of ten thousand miles suddenly saw the long-lost light. What made the Extreme Yin True Person's heart unhappy was that this Five Poisons Flag was quite abnormal, as the souls of the five congenital poisonous substances were compressed by the poisonous cloud and fog, not only did their strength not decrease, but there was also a sign of a breakthrough.

  The formation of the Five Poison Flag can summon a demon with a toad head, snake body with hundreds of feet, and scorpion tail. It's truly unexpected. Although the Five Poison Wanderer gained great benefits from this, resolving the poisonous cloud within a radius of ten thousand miles and earning himself some merit.

  These three people came to the Desolate Expanse and stirred up a storm of blood and rain, one poisonous cloud and rain could instantly kill a group, one killing intent was also a group, and one mysterious yin energy howl was also a group.

  Ling Tian earned the title of Demon Slayer for himself, Wu Du San Ren is the Poison Demon, and Ji Yin Zhen Ren is the Dark Demon.

  A dense and deep forest, withered vines entwined, a group of Beastmen cultivators seemed to be surrounded by an array, constantly walking left and right, as if they had entered a maze, unable to escape. In the center of this group of Beastmen cultivators was a pale-faced cultivator, surrounded by everyone.

  "Haha, kid, don't resist anymore, just surrender obediently." The extremely evil person shouted.

  Those monks glared at the legendary dark demon, their eyes wide with anger. The dark demon's mysterious and profound magic was both offensive and defensive, making it a formidable opponent.

  "Hey kiddo, don't struggle in vain. If it weren't for your master's uncle taking a liking to you, you'd have been long gone by now."

  That pale-faced monk stared at Xuanyin True Person and said word by word: "My Qilin clan, can be killed but not humiliated."

  "Hmph, you still dare to claim yourselves as the Qilin tribe? Don't you even want to ask who it was that drove you out? You don't want revenge?"

  This sentence suddenly made the Qilin tribe monk speechless, he was born as a black Qilin and was considered an outcast by his own tribe. Because his parents were strong in the Qilin tribe, under their prestige, although it was not pleasant, he could barely make a living. However, his parents had actually died together in battle against the Dragon tribe. According to tribal rules, he could have a piece of land and cultivate in peace.

  The reality is cruel, not only did I not get what I deserved, but I was humiliated, insulted and even hunted down. If it weren't for the monks under my parents' care, I would have lost my soul long ago.

  The extremely gloomy true person saw through and touched the other's heart, saying: "Do you know why you can't cultivate?"

  The Qilin Clan cultivator's heart stirred, and he involuntarily asked: "Why?"

  This is his own eternal pain, he was born and can't cultivate, every time he cultivates not only extremely painful, but also constantly retrogrades, if it weren't for him being a Qilin, with a strong physique since birth, maybe he would have become a waste. Alas, this is also another reason why he is ostracized by others of his kind.

  "Ki Lin's clan was born with the righteous energy of heaven and earth, and their lives cannot be taken lightly. Killing will only stain you with karma. And you were stained with karma in your parents' womb. This is also the reason for your parents' ultimate demise."

  Qilin asked: "You are killing the cultivators of Hongyuan without any scruples, aren't you afraid of being bound by karma?"

  "Ha ha, we are born to kill and slaughter, the ultimate goal is the way of killing. Moreover, your body has been invaded by evil energy, which conflicts with the positive energy of heaven and earth, every time you cultivate, it will be extremely painful, unable to condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

  Qilin Xiushi said: "You really have a way to change this situation."

  One of the protectors of Qilin said: "Young master, don't listen to his temptation, he is luring you into demonic ways, quickly come to your senses."

  The extremely gloomy true person mysteriously smiled and said: "I can pass on to you the cultivation method, but the people around you..."

  Qilin Shushi said: "I beg of you, spare them."

  "It's not about letting them go, but you have to kill all of them."

  Qilin Xiuzi's mind was in a daze, how could this be, it couldn't be.

  The Heavenly Emperor shook his head at the extremely evil True Person, this person's mind is not firm, eliminate him.

  Ji Yin let out a sigh, the opportunity was given to you, but you couldn't grasp it. As he spoke, the spell transformed into a large hand, crushing a group of cultivators into bloody pulp.

  "Master uncle, this person was tempted once and would have leaned towards our side, how could you say to eliminate him just like that?"

  Wu Duosan said, "On this road, we've killed countless practitioners of the Hongyuan Sect, but we've only recruited less than ten with potential who are willing to follow us. There are still over a hundred waiting to be assessed."

  The extremely gloomy True Person said: "The Desolate Expanse must be thrown into chaos, only then can we harvest more souls and malignant energy. The power we need is too great, what we have now is still far from enough."

  "Wudun Sanren burst out laughing and said: 'We will continue to search for someone with great fate, enter under me, can get eternal life.'"

  In the vast wilderness, there are many reclusive monks who avoid worldly affairs and focus on understanding the Tao.

  The Great Desolate Corpse and the Heavenly Ghost were extremely carefree, this thousand years was the most wonderful life in their own lifetime. They were unscrupulously devouring the flesh and blood of the living beings in the Vast Expanse, as well as their souls. The Great Desolate Corpse, in search of powerful blood food, directly smashed a Cave Heaven Paradise into fragments with one bony hand.

  A loud shout came from inside the cave, but before it was finished, it was stuffed into the bone mouth by the Great Wilderness Skull. With a crackling sound, it turned into two segments. The essence of the bones in the cultivator's body flashed and imprinted on the Great Wilderness Skull's bony body, instantly shining with crystal light on the white bones.

  The giant skull tossed the two halves of the corpse into the void, saying: "Old ghost, here is the essence blood you wanted." In an instant, the two halves of the corpse were enveloped by a cluster of ghostly shadows.

  The desolate land has become a paradise for slaughter, with the three tribes already fighting fiercely, and now these terrifying guys have been added.

  The majestic mountains stood tall, and due to Pangu's own mighty presence, almost no conflicts occurred. The primordial cultivators also followed this rule, out of reverence and respect for the great god Pangu.

  Hong Jun strolled along the mountain path, collecting many innate treasures and heavenly spiritual roots. He held a staff in his hand, with a purple gold gourd tied to the top of the staff by a golden cord that shone brightly, looking ancient and natural.

  Fuxi followed closely behind him with courtesy of a younger brother, and all along the way he listened to the Tao and understood the Tao, his nature changing greatly.

  Nüwa said with a bow: "Teacher, just ahead is the place where the Thunder God is in seclusion. We can go pay our respects."

  Hong Jun waved his hand and said, "If fate allows it, we will meet again, why force it?"

  Fuxi said in his heart: "This Thunder God is also a man without blessings, every day only knowing to sleep soundly. Missing a chance for good fortune."

  A mountain that is not Zhou, Hong Jun and three people have traveled for nearly a thousand years.

  Hong Jun said: "Although there is a million-year agreement in the vast wilderness, it is destined to be unpeaceful. I want to travel through the vast wilderness. You two can go back on your own and close the door for cultivation."

  Nüwa and Fuxi said in unison: "We are willing to follow our teacher!"

  Hong Jun waved his hand and said, "No need for that. After a million years, the Hongyuan will have a great disaster, you'd better prepare more."

  Nüwa bowed and said: "I respectfully follow the teacher's instructions."
