Chapter 439: Chapter 227: Yin Five Elements Ghost Qi, Midnight Turmoil

No surprises.

Successful realm breakthrough.

One foot has already stepped into the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

The Yinzhou Heterodox Record has also reached the Realm of Perfection, but it’s just the Upper Volume Perfection, not the complete Yinzhou Heterodox Record perfection.

[Foundation Establishment Method - Yin State Heterodox Record: Perfection (Cannot continue advancement, lacking subsequent cultivation techniques)]

"To advance further, I must find a way to obtain the cultivation techniques of the Golden Core Ancestor from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks."

"However, this matter can be delayed because the Black Demon Soul is still far from maturity. More importantly, I need to cultivate the East Spring Undying Bone to the Golden Core Realm. Once the East Spring Undying Bone steps into the Golden Core Realm, acquiring the cultivation techniques becomes much simpler. As long as that old man leaves Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, I can make a move."

As for storming Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, Wen Jiu definitely doesn’t dare; after all, with a thousand-year foundation, who knows what the sect’s protective foundations are.

"Once East Spring Undying Bone achieves Golden Core, I can use the external foundation establishment news to lure him out."

After outlining his subsequent plans, Wen Jiu continued to gather Yin Poison and cultivate Blood Corpse Mushrooms, rarely leaving home. If he had to, he sent out the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute. The main focus was stability. Regardless of who invited him or what task Daoist Wei wanted to assign him, Wen Jiu refused under the pretense of being unfit for the task.

At appropriate times, he sent out several Evil Corpses. Even though Daoist Wei was displeased, he said nothing more.

After all, if another Corpse Nurturer were substituted, it would certainly take months to cultivate Evil Corpses of his high quality.

...

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The Little Demon Realm remained calm, and Pei Wuxing still hadn’t appeared nor any news.

However, the number of Loose Cultivators coming to the Little Demon Realm increased, almost all of them being Loose Cultivators from Celestial Demon Sea. Battles among the cultivators listed in the Left Sect Hundred Cultivators’ Record also increased, with a big fight every few days.

Consequently, Vice City Lord Lin and Daoist Wei staged a grand show to win over people’s hearts in the Little Demon Realm.

At the same time, the number of Honored Guest Elders in the Little Demon Realm increased, making Wen Jiu feel that within three to five years, the Left Sect Hundred Cultivators’ Record could be rendered obsolete, perhaps another purpose of Pei Wuxing occupying the Little Demon Realm. No wonder Pei Wuxing didn’t care about the recent internal strife.

However, as more outsiders came to the Little Demon Realm, Wen Jiu grew uneasy, for who could guarantee there were no spies among them from the Three Life Gates? With Golden Core Fate Technique Cultivators among them, they might have already sensed something.

During this period, Wen Jiu helped Feng Jue assassinate a late-stage Foundation Establishment Alchemy Master from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.

Feng Jue rewarded him handsomely with elixirs worth two to three million Spirit Stones; however, since they were useless to Wen Jiu, he only took some usable Qi Refining cultivator elixirs and gave the rest to Feng Jue.

Naturally, Feng Jue ensured he wouldn’t suffer a loss and immediately gifted thirty Tier Two Lower Grade Blood Corpse Mushrooms.

It was apparent.

Feng Jue’s words weighed heavily with Daoist Wei.

Refining thirty Tier Two Lower Grade Corpse Mushrooms, the East Spring Undying Bone stood at the foothill of Tier Two Peak.

[East Spring Undying Bone (Tier Two (Upper Realm 51900/60000)]

"The peak is just around the corner."

Wen Jiu was in high spirits. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

That very day, Feng Jue unexpectedly visited, wanting to drink heavily with Wen Jiu before heading to the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven to cultivate.

But Wen Jiu knew, was Feng Jue such a person?

And as expected.

After drinking less than two cups, a familiar voice echoed outside the Enchanting Forest, "Fellow Daoist Li, Junior Brother Feng, are you there?"

"You didn’t come to hide from him, did you?"

Wen Jiu looked at Feng Jue; if Heihe was looking for him, why would he call out Junior Brother Feng?

Feng Jue helplessly said, "I can’t stand him; he’s been pestering me all this time, wanting to apologize, but after I accepted his apology, he refused to leave, wanting me to speak well of him before Daoist Wei."

Speaking of, it has to do with Brother Han; if it weren’t for Brother Han, this guy wouldn’t be acting like this now."

Wen Jiu curiously asked, "All because of last time?"

"Yes, now everyone believes the Ghost Cultivator was under Daoist Wei’s command. Heihe initially chose to side with Vice City Lord Lin, but due to you, Daoist Wei’s strong followers have increased, so Heihe grew uneasy. Additionally, he couldn’t gain trust from Vice City Lord Lin, so he’s intent on returning."

"I suspected this three-hundred-year-old brew had something unusual, now I see why." Wen Jiu immediately stood, having lost interest in drinking and, if Feng Jue stayed in the Enchanting Forest, Heihe would undoubtedly pester him again.

"Leave, leave, leave!"

Wen Jiu stood and ushered Feng Jue out.

Feng Jue looked distressed, "Brother Han, really? You’ve drunk half the jar, and now you’re kicking me out."

"If you can’t deal with Heihe, don’t come to me anymore." Wen Jiu was no longer interested in associating with people from the Little Demon Realm.

The East Spring Undying Bone’s Heterodox Golden Core was imminent; he only wanted to quickly search for the Core Formation Land outside the Hundred Floating Domains.

...

Once Feng Jue left, the Enchanting Forest fell silent.

The next morning, Feng Jue seemed to decide not to engage with Heihe anymore, so he headed to the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven to cultivate. He thought Heihe would settle down, but then he visited again, trying to persuade him to speak favorably.

Wen Jiu ignored him, letting Mu Chang’an turn him away under the pretext of closed-door cultivation, but Heihe seemed unwilling to give up.

Thus, it became a famous scene, the Golden Core True Inheritor waiting outside for an audience with an Honored Guest Elder, widely circulating in the Little Demon Realm, leading new Loose Cultivators to believe some big figure resided in the Enchanting Forest.

That very night.

Violent spells clashed from the central area of the Little Demon Realm, a Foundation Establishment Perfection aura flew out, followed closely. The former aura was unfamiliar; the latter seemed very familiar.

It was Daoist Wei.

"What’s this?"

Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone to quietly follow, intending to observe.

Where Divine Sense reached, a Foundation Establishment Perfection Demon Cultivator came into view. His aura was not as strong as Lou Lie’s seen days before but was extremely unique. His speed, body technique, were fast, and he was proficient in Stealth Technique.

Traveling through the black cloud sea, occasionally disappearing for a while, East Spring Undying Bone’s Divine Sense could barely detect its presence. As for Daoist Wei, he almost lost tracking several times, but because he wielded a Tier Two Top Grade tracking magical artifact, despite losing track several times, he couldn’t shake off Daoist Wei.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, why chase relentlessly? Though my strength is inferior to yours, your Escape Technique, Flying Escape Technique, Stealth Technique are far inferior to mine." The red-haired Demon Cultivator deliberately slowed a little, seeming to mock Daoist Wei.

Though the Yin Yang Cultivator’s soul memory lacked information on this person, Donghe Li’s trio’s soul memory contained.

Named Hong Kui.

One of Celestial Demon Sea’s three major Loose Cultivators.

Renowned alongside Lou Lie, though a Demon Cultivator, he excels in Stealth Technique, even Fake Pill Cultivators find it hard to discern.

"What does he come to Little Demon Realm for?" Wen Jiu instantly flashed a thought—Could he be investigating Pei Wuxing?

Loose Cultivator.

May not truly be a Loose Cultivator.

Meanwhile, Daoist Wei angrily retorted, "Hong Kui, disguising as a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator to infiltrate my Little Demon Realm, what is your intent!"

Hong Kui replied calmly, "No special aim, just intending to see what your Little Demon Realm harbors."

"Nonsense!"

Daoist Wei didn’t believe a word because Hong Kui had approached the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven unnoticeably.

Though its significance isn’t known, the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven is critical; today, he absolutely cannot let him leave.

Simultaneously, Vice City Lord Lin also pursued from the Little Demon Realm, faster than Lin himself. Though the two had many grievances, their focus was solely on Hong Kui.

"Hong Kui brat, you’re not escaping!"

Vice City Lord Lin stood atop a Pseudo-Tier Three top-grade flying shuttle artifact, rapidly approaching Hong Kui, causing Hong Kui’s previously smug expression to turn grim. In a panic, he hurriedly executed the Escape Technique, fleeing several dozen miles.

Vice City Lord Lin and Daoist Wei followed, executing Escape Technique without hesitation.

Simultaneously.

The central area of Little Demon Realm suddenly activated an array.

The commotion was immense.

The aura was powerful.

Based on Demon Soul’s soul memory judgement, it was undoubtedly a Tier Three Array.

Wen Jiu immediately exited the cave, looking toward the central Little Demon Realm. A massive Tier Three Array spanning fifty miles appeared, even Wen Jiu’s Divine Sense being blocked outside it.
