Chapter 286: The Devil Becomes Immortal
In the devil’s cave, the heartbeat was rapid and loud. There were only two times in thousands of years that the heartbeat was so fast.
The first time was when he found an opportunity for a breakthrough, and the second time was when he saw a Taoist priest in green.

He had a handsome appearance, which was just average among the monks. His clothes were also very simple, even old. The clothes had long been rotten, and every fiber was shattered, but they were spliced ​​together by a force.

The thought of the clothes, not Gu Wen, kept echoing in the mind of the Demon Ancestor.

Because he could not see the true face of the saint, but he could get a glimpse of it from his clothes.

Don’t be an enemy by force, don’t be an enemy!
The Demon Patriarch only heard his half-immortal disciple asking for help, and the most likely person who needed help was Qingcang.

Therefore, he investigated carefully. First, he saw a young man from Zhejian Mountain who was in the Nascent Soul stage, then a True Lord Fanxu from his own sect, and a Mahayana sect leader who was beaten half to death.

Then he followed the scent and found the location of his disciple, who was caught in the hand of a Taoist priest in green.

Fanxu Zhenjun, the Mahayana Sect Master, and Banxian Taishang Elder, the latter two are almost the few high-end combat forces of Tianmo Sect. Even the Zhenjun-level strongmen are only a handful in Tianmo Sect now.

There were too many casualties during the Dao Sect’s encirclement and suppression, and coupled with the years of pursuit by the Zhenwu Palace, some people couldn’t stand it and changed their identities and ran away to Buddhism.

I would rather be a little boy serving the Bodhisattva than be an evil cultivator.

In another few hundred years, I’m afraid that the average cultivation level of the Demon Sect will be able to reach the Mahayana stage, because there are only a few old monsters left that even the Buddhist sect dare not accept.

As long as Qingcang’s rule continues, those suppressed sects will die out quietly.

The old demon had already seen clearly, so he tried his best to become an immortal. As long as he became an immortal, he could travel far to the void.

The land of Taixu is vast and boundless, but without any spiritual energy. Many old monsters dare to enter Taixu only with countless treasures. Even if they become immortals and only have one breath of true energy left, they can still travel in Taixu.

You can even get rid of your evil spirit, change your appearance, rebuild your sect, and become a Taoist immortal.

If you can’t become an immortal, you will eventually die no matter where you escape to.

Become an immortal, otherwise you will always be an ant.

That must have been the power of an immortal.

There was silence for a while, and no other changes occurred. The mouth in the clay jar slowly exhaled, and the heartbeat gradually became calmer.

“A calamity? Or is the underworld plotting against me?”

He couldn’t help but wonder, because just as the people from the underworld arrived, his own people died.

Perhaps the Taoist in green is from the Taoist sect, but the underworld must be fanning the flames.

Speak of the devil and he will appear; as soon as the thought arises, the Buddha will appear.

“Amitabha, it looks like the donor is going to be in trouble.”

The faceless female Buddha walked out from the shadows, and the Buddha light behind her illuminated the cave as well as the bottles and jars containing the internal organs.

Clay Pot Mouth asked, “Who is that?”

“A disciple of the Immortal Qingcang, his Taoist name is Hongchen, Gu Wen.”

“Hong Chen, Gu Wen… is the one who ranked first on the top three lists? He didn’t die in the immortal land?”

The Demon Ancestor had naturally heard of this name. From ancient times to the present, there have been countless arrogant people, but there is only one who ranks first among the three lists.

The list established by the old divine beast in the Two Realms City has a handful of people who have already become immortals on the Heavenly List, which shows how valuable it is.

Gu Wen’s first place on the three lists was enough to reach the ears of many old monsters.

An immortal who is less than a thousand years old.

Even someone as arrogant as the Demon Ancestor couldn’t help but admire him.

“Why is the underworld so obsessed with me?”

He did not ask Gu Wen why he wanted to kill his own disciples. As the successor of Qingcang, it was normal for him to kill his own disciples.

On the contrary, the repeated invitations from the underworld are very intriguing.

The female Buddha replied: “Heaven and earth have laws, and all living things have order. The two saints feel that there are too many people who have transcended, and there are even more who can transcend. You transcend heaven and earth, but you affect heaven and earth all the time.”

Hearing this, a loud laugh broke out from the clay pot.

“Ridiculous! It’s ridiculous! If you are transcendent, you still have to abide by the rules. How can you be transcendent? Besides, what are the saints worried about us immortals? If they really don’t like us, why don’t they just slap us to death?”

The female Buddha shook her head and said, “Heaven and earth are saints, saints are heaven and earth, doctors cannot heal themselves, you don’t understand unless you are a saint.”

The Demon Ancestor sneered, “You have been a saint?”

“Of course I have.” The female Buddha answered without hesitation: “I have 300 million followers, and every moment there are billions of thoughts coming through the incense.”

“Some are evil, some are good, some are selfless, some are greedy, some regard Buddha as supreme, and some sneer at him. But I, the Buddha, cannot kill any incense according to my thoughts, because Buddha is the appearance of all living beings.”

Although it was only a short half year, she still vaguely remembered the feeling that everything related to her self disappeared, leaving only the word “Buddha”.

The old monk’s cultivation is higher than hers. He can be awake in this state and plan to have a physical body or even a Hunyuan Taoist heart.

“Sages are also like this, without self and without form.”

She threw away the position of Ghost Emperor and fell into the mud jar.

“Gu Wenru Qingcang has the appearance of a minor saint, but he is still a mortal. You can’t beat him.”

“I don’t need to fight him. After becoming an immortal, I can just escape to the faraway void.”

“Amitabha, I wish the donor’s wish comes true.”

The female Buddha took half a step back, the Buddha light on her body faded, and the Buddha’s sound echoed leisurely.

“If it doesn’t work, it won’t be too late to go to the underworld. No one can disobey the two saints of heaven and earth. It doesn’t matter if you are a Taoist, a demon, a Buddha, or even a minor saint.”

“All transcendence is false.”

Boom!

The bottles and jars remained motionless, the magic cave remained motionless, but the internal organs of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor moved, as if an invisible giant took a step, and every step made his internal organs and the empty human body sitting in the center vibrate.

The divine consciousness extended beyond the devil’s cave, to the mountains, forests, green fields, blue sky and white clouds. Looking into the distance, a giant ten thousand feet tall was walking towards them.

He was found.

The Demon Ancestor’s heart started beating again and jumped out of the jar.

‘No, it may be that he has not yet realized the exact location, but only knows the direction. This temple is different from the cave world, it is erratic, and he certainly cannot confirm it.’

Otherwise, why doesn’t the other party take action himself?

The symbol of the qualitative change in the strength of a semi-immortal in the Dao realm is that he can take action even if he is thousands of miles away, and the immortals have brought this ability to the extreme.

The Demon Ancestor had seen Qingcang before and had killed a demigod from a distance.

This must be how his half-immortal disciple was captured just now.

“Now that things have come to this, it is better to break through first. It is still uncertain who will be stronger and who will be weaker by then.”

The giant walked across the bustling city, paused for a moment, and leaned over to watch for a long time. A child ran past him, bumped into him, and fell to the ground.

The Taoist in green clothes helped the child up, wiped the wound, and asked, “Child, I am traveling here and forgot to bring money. Can you lend me a few copper coins to buy a bowl of noodles?”

The child burst into tears, and the woman came to look for him, with a fierce look on her face, but her expression changed when she saw the Taoist robes.

“Master, I wonder if you have any chance to find my son?”

“No, I have no qualifications at all. There is no need to send me to the training hall in the future to avoid wasting time.”

“Where did this wild Taoist come from! Stay away from my family.”

Gu Wen smiled and shook his head, then took a step forward and moved ten feet, avoiding the fierce woman with bared fangs and claws, and asked the next person to “beg for alms”.

Finally, his hard work paid off. A mother and daughter gave him five copper coins. Judging from their appearance and clothes, it was obvious that they were from a wealthy family.

The woman smiled and said, “Master, what can you buy with these five copper coins?” “I can buy a bowl of noodles with lard.”

Gu Wen pulled out a tattered book from his sleeve, licked his fingers, and kept flipping through it.

“Danqingzhou, Baili Town, there is lard noodles.”

The young woman covered her face and laughed, “The Taoist priest is really out of touch with the world. Five copper coins can only buy a coarse flour bun. If you want to eat lard noodles, you need fifteen copper coins.”

“Besides, there are lard noodles everywhere, why come here to look for it?”

After saying that, the woman also gave five copper coins as incense money.

Gu Wen sat down in a noodle shop in a corner of the town and called out, “Boss, give me a bowl of lard noodles.”

“Okay.”

Soon, the steaming lard noodles were served with an egg on top.

Gu Wen asked, after all, he only had ten copper coins, and the other party would not be able to make a change if he gave them spirit stones, and giving them away would go against his frugal style.

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, “It’s just an egg. Just consider it as incense money.”

Ordinary people have long been accustomed to monks. Although there are tens of millions of cases of cannibalism, ordinary people are unaware of it, and it is a rare case that happens to everyone.

The disappearance of millions or tens of millions of people can only be regarded as a ripple. At least in Danqing Prefecture, there are only hundreds of thousands of disappearances every year, which is even less.

They live a rich life and the world is peaceful, and that is enough.

Be kind and respectful to Taoist priests and monks.

Are all mortals more generous than me?
Gu Wen was not willing to be outdone, so he ate two large bowls and only paid for one.

“No need to look for the shopkeeper.”

Then he left the shop, turned a corner and moved five hundred miles, uprooted the mountains, and the demons ran out like rats.

With one slap, they all turned into meat patties.

This is one of the bases of the Demonic Sect, located on the edge of Danqing Province. It relies on the Jiang family’s channels to obtain elixirs and recruit disciples.

Gu Wen originally didn’t plan to take a long detour, but now he felt it was necessary.

Without deep experience in the secular world, how could he know the kindness of the people, which is enough for him to take action to eliminate the devil.

All of this naturally caught the attention of the Demon Ancestor. He felt that Gu Wen wanted to destroy his lineage and eradicate the roots completely.

Afterwards, Gu Wen went somewhere else, either to eat something mundane or to visit the sights that could be seen everywhere.

The only thing that remains unchanged is that you are constantly getting closer to yourself.

With every step the giant took towards him, the Demon Ancestor became more and more pressing, and he was getting closer and closer to becoming an immortal.

There are great horrors and great opportunities between life and death.

The Demon Ancestor realized that his state of mind was loosening and decided not to escape.

He wants to become an immortal, transcend heaven and earth, and get rid of the laws of heaven and earth.

Otherwise, if he escaped today, tomorrow would be just like eight hundred years ago, and the Earth Saint would just add an entry to the Book of Life and Death, while the strong men of heaven and earth would fall like ants after rain.

The burial cave, which was once regarded as a forbidden area, instantly turned into a real dead place with no one alive.

Now it has become a monks’ market.

After three days, the bones return to the body.

On the sixth day, flesh and blood attached to the bones.

On the ninth day, the five internal organs return to their positions and the six internal organs return to the body.

A handsome man sat cross-legged naked, his brown skin glowing with a faint light, and his every breath affected the laws of heaven and earth.

A huge vortex of spiritual energy was formed, and there was a lake-sized amount of spiritual water in the magic cave, which was equivalent to tens of millions of high-quality spiritual stones, and was also the accumulation of a major magic sect for tens of thousands of years.

In just a moment, the lake dried up.

The Demon Ancestor slowly opened his eyes. The giant had already come to the door, and the entire Taoist cave was in his palm.

I don’t know if the other party is teasing me or just not skilled enough.

Capturing the cave heaven realm relies solely on brute force, purely relying on a single hand of the Golden Light Curse. But this method is not used to capture the cave heaven. Just like the commonly said method of moving mountains, it is impossible for someone to lift a mountain by brute force alone. Most of them rely on the corresponding earth-moving method.

Gu Wen was just lifting a mountain, and the cave was shattered into pieces.

The Demon Ancestor took a step forward, and a vast expanse of green water, green mountains, blue sky and white clouds appeared before his eyes.

In a teahouse on a mountain road, a Taoist priest in green clothes was sitting there drinking tea and eating meat. He put the meat in the tea, took a bite and then a sip, with the oil core floating on the tea.

“Fellow Daoist, you eat meat and drink tea. Don’t you think that it ruins the aroma of the tea?”

The old demon came forward and sat down. The Taoist in green clothes ate and drank by himself and replied, “Tea is used to relieve greasiness. I am a vulgar Taoist and cannot tell whether it is fragrant or not. On the contrary, wine tastes a thousand flavors and is extremely sweet.”

“This is called Huncha, a bite of food and a sip of tea. I prefer to call it morning tea. The dishes here are too crude, all cold dishes. If an old friend of mine hadn’t passed by during his travels, I wouldn’t have come here.”

Gu Wen brought a small bowl to the Demon Ancestor. The latter took a bite in a serious manner, frowned, and said, “How can such filthy things be eaten? How is it different from human yellow?”

“Pickling is always necessary.”

Gu Wen seemed to be in a good mood and chatted, “You should have never been a mortal. Dao Sect has a tradition of not taking fasting pills. There are many disciples who have not yet reached the golden elixir stage, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation are no different from mortals. She went down the mountain to travel during the foundation-building period, seeking an opportunity to break through the golden elixir stage, and also to participate in the Tianxuan Conference.”

The Demon Ancestor was confused and asked, “Who is she?”

“A celestial being.”

“How can someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage be called a Celestial Immortal?”

“For me, yes.”

Gu Wen continued to talk to himself: “The other side of the mountain used to be the Flaming Mountain. Eight hundred years have passed, and the tea sellers have changed countless times, but as long as the road is still there, there will be people who will continue to sell tea.”

“I thought I could see what she saw and hear what she heard, but the world has changed so much that some scenery has disappeared.”

The old demon frowned and said, “Daoyou, you are a transcendent person, why are you so sad and depressed like ordinary people? We cultivators should put the great Dao first and abandon all emotions, only then can we see the great Dao.”

If he had allowed his disciples to be so attached to a woman, he would have killed them.

The Demonic Sect cannot tolerate trash who still has lustful desires.

What they want are seekers who are willing to give up everything for the sake of practice. As long as it is beneficial to practice, anything will be allowed.

“She said that, too.”

Gu Wen put down the teacup, looked straight at the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, pointed at his temple and said, “I have some distracting thoughts in my mind, can you help me solve them?”

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor grinned and said, “In your situation, if you let me go to the Heavenly Demon Sect, I will let you kill her with your own hands.”

“why?”

“She has given you her life, do you still need to think about it?”

“That makes sense. The Devil Sect is indeed different.”

Gu Wen’s eyes lit up slightly, and he said, “I allow you to kneel on only one leg.”

“Ok?”

The Demon Ancestor frowned, and when he came to his senses, he had already knelt down.

My right leg was on the ground, and I couldn’t lift it up no matter what I did.
