Volume 3: Supreme Mysterious Yang Chapter 110: Ninth-Order Demon Beast

  "In those two days, Chu Xuefang was not a disciple of any of the nine major sects or the eight demonic sects."

  But it's reasonable to think that, after all, the Tianyao Ridge is so vast, and this time there are at most only thirty or fifty people who have entered this place, and the possibility of running into each other after dispersing was originally very small.

  It was during the collection of spiritual materials that Chu Yiyuan dropped more than twenty heads of seven-stage and eight-stage demon beasts, and even fought a fierce battle with a seven-legged Tianxie for six true if-then statements. If it were only based on his own divine ability, Chu Yiyuan might not have been able to kill them, but with the help of the Nine Sons True Devil, he was able to do so.

  This seven-legged Sky Spider is a treasure all over, its value is even more than that of a top-grade spiritual artifact. Especially its demon core which is close to the ninth rank of demonic beast, is already comparable to the Dao Dan grade of spiritual medicine, and is a first-class tonic.

  The two-day continuous battle also further strengthened Chu Yi's cultivation power. Although there was no improvement in the pure realm, the accumulation was gradually deepening. After learning that the Golden Elixir Realm is also divided into three six nine grades, Chu Yi had long put down his obsession with advancing to the Golden Elixir Realm and instead chose to continue accumulating.

  He is waiting, waiting for his own accumulation to reach a sufficiently strong point before making a breakthrough. If he wants to repair it, he will repair it to the strongest of the same rank. The nine-turn golden elixir is difficult to form, and after breaking through the golden elixir realm, he still needs to mix six or seven turns of golden elixir.

  At this stage, Chu Yi is focused on doing only two things: one is to repeatedly temper himself through non-stop high-intensity battles with his divine yuan force, and the other is to condense his divine yuan force as much as possible, increase its storage capacity, until the hundred meridians can no longer hold it, then condense again, repeating this process without regard for cost, accumulating and accumulating.

  "Beyond this line, it is considered the central area of Tianyao Ridge, where the three major spiritual materials needed to refine the Wuji Buxiantian Pill are most abundant, and also the most treacherous region."

  Taking a glance at the deep and narrow mountain pass in front of him, which was emitting an eerie green glow, Chu Yi habitually took out a "Hidden Track Symbol" and crushed it. According to the information on the jade slip, this narrow mountain pass, which could only accommodate three people walking abreast and stretched for a thousand feet, was the only path leading to the central area of Tian Yao Ridge.

  It is clear that in the vast Tian Yao Ridge, the last place where one might encounter members of other sects is not here.

  Chu Yi was not confident enough to ignore the fact that everyone in Tian Yao Ridge had entered, especially in a place where divine sense was useless. Even if his cultivation was inferior to others, as long as he was sinister enough, he could still take down opponents who were much stronger than himself. How could Chu Yi be careless in a place where it was highly likely that he would encounter an ambush?

  As they entered the "First Heaven", a fierce and eerie gust of wind blew by, giving people a chilling feeling. After advancing only about 100 meters, Chu Yi stopped in his tracks, even with his courage, he was shocked by the tragic scene before him.

  Three dead skulls, the size of a fist, were suspended from transparent threads as thick as fingers, three feet high, seemingly hanging down from the steep cliffs on both sides. A gust of eerie wind blew by, and in the green glow, they swayed back and forth, appearing exceptionally ominous and terrifying.

  The most frightening thing was that the three skulls would occasionally emit a sharp, ear-piercing whistle. If one looked closely, they could see that the three skulls were secreting a dry, withered substance, as if all the contents of their craniums had been sucked out. The neck stumps, where the heads had been severed, continued to drip a mixture of fresh blood and brain matter, making for a nauseating sight.

  He drew in his breath, calmed down, and stuck his body to the rock wall on one side. A thoughtful expression appeared in his eyes, but soon his gaze fell back onto the ground about ten or more yards away from him. Looking at the layer of white sticky liquid spread out on the ground, Chu Yi finally ruled out the possibility that this scene was man-made.

  From the silk threads hanging from the skull and the strange sticky liquid on the ground, Chu Yi made a rough guess that these two things were very likely to be a kind of untouchable monster mentioned repeatedly in the Jade Slips, also known as a shape-shifting monster, the true nine-stage monster Yu Mian Gui's secretions.

  The nine-level demon beast is an existence that can become a spiritual beast in just one step, and it is also a strong and absolute creature that has already cultivated the Taoist method of divine communication and has spiritual intelligence that is not inferior to humans.

  Especially in Tiān Yāo Lǐng, this special region where the power of demons is greatly enhanced, ninth-grade demon beasts are almost invincible.

  Outside, a nine-stage demon beast is already a powerful creature that can rival a Golden Elixir cultivator. In the Tianyao Ridge, a nine-stage demon beast that can transform into a human in advance has the ability to fight against a Golden Elixir cultivator.

  Moreover, this "Jade-faced Ghost Spider" also has several extremely frightening innate abilities. In coordination with the above, Chu Yi decided that he did not want to encounter such a ferocious creature in a place like "First Line Heaven" where it was highly likely to be ambushed.

  But Chu Yi was determined not to back down at this point.

  After a moment of contemplation, Chu Yi's mouth curled up slightly as his gaze wandered around the steep cliffs. He retreated over ten zhang, and with a flash of movement, he hid inside a cave behind a waterfall that was about ten zhang away. Under the effect of the "Hidden Traces Symbol", Chu Yi's figure perfectly blended in with the surrounding rocks. In this special region where divine sense was useless, such concealment would make it absolutely impossible for anyone to discover him unless they walked right up and examined closely.

  "Next, it's just waiting then."

  He sat cross-legged and set a deadline for himself, the longest waiting time.

  "If no one comes here to pave the way for themselves within two days, then I'll have to take a chance and make my own way"

  In a mountain forest far away from the mortal world, two grey-robed monks walked and talked.

  "Lu Shixiong, fortunately your 'Xian Yin Wu Wo Xiang' has succeeded. Otherwise, with the vastness of this Tian Yao Ridge, it would be impossible for us two brothers to gather in one place."

  "That's natural, I'm entering Tianyao Ridge for the second time, if I don't have some tricks up my sleeve, how can I proceed?"

  The man called Lu Shixiong smiled complacently and said, "In this Tianyao Ridge, with the two of us working together, we can almost walk sideways. Don't look at those nine major sects' disciples gathering in groups outside, once they enter here, they will disperse all over the place. Before setting foot in the central area, the possibility of running into each other is extremely low."

  "I heard that the best treasures are in the central area, thanks to Master Brother, we were able to approach the first line of heaven so quickly, it's only been two days, I suppose no one can be faster than us."

  "It should be." Lu Xiu nodded and said: "Let's hurry on the road, get through the first line of heaven early, and there will be a lot of spiritual materials waiting for us to harvest."

  The two of them quickened their pace, and just as they were approaching the edge of a cliff about a hundred feet away, the Ru surname cultivator suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes shining with delight. "It's really 'treading on iron shoes without searching for a place', we've come all this way without expending any effort! Lu Shidi, do you still remember that cultivator who had a large quantity of Luminous Spirit Water at the previous Trading Convention?"

  "Naturally remembered." Lu's eyes lit up and said: "Is this person nearby?"
