Chapter 555: Chapter 282: Golden Core Enters the Stone Array, Supreme Art of Ancient Demon Dao

Fellow Daoist Yi Nian’s little schemes, he was very clear about them.

Lin was equally clear.

But as long as they acquired the Blood Demon Sect’s remnants before the arrival of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect cultivators, everything would not be a problem.

"Since that’s the case, I ask Fellow Daoist Zang to dispatch some Fake Pill Zhenren and Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators to the battlefield to stabilize the situation. I can immediately send messages to my sect members to gather manpower, and it won’t take more than ten days." Yi Nian Guan Shan spoke without hesitation.

Zang Qianjian chuckled lightly in his heart, understanding what Yi Nian Guan Shan meant, "As it should be, I’ll send people over right away. Ten Fake Pill Zhenren, fifty Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators, would that be enough, Fellow Daoist Yi Nian?"

"Enough."

Yi Nian Guan Shan was pleased.

The number of people wasn’t important.

The importance lay in the people themselves.

After Zang Qianjian sent word to mobilize the Spirit Suppressing General, Yi Nian Guan Shan also unhesitatingly contacted Qu Wuyi.

As for the reason for deploying more personnel into the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, it was for a Spiritual Qi infusion to cope with the upcoming war.

A Golden Core Influence with a thousand-year foundation, the Spiritual Liquid accumulated in the Grotto Heaven must be quite abundant. With a great enemy at hand, infusing the sect’s cultivators with Spiritual Qi and forcibly enhancing their cultivation isn’t something unimaginable.

Though Qu Wuyi and Bao Tiangai harbored doubts, not understanding why the foundation would cultivate Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators, they could only comply with the ancestor’s orders.

On that day, they began selecting talented Qi Refining Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators from various vassals, totaling fifty thousand people.

As soon as this news came out, the upper echelons of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks and the major vassal influences were all overjoyed, sending their family geniuses and direct descendants to Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks. Vassal families with multiple Foundation Establishments even dispatched Foundation Establishment Cultivators there. Initially, some were hesitant, but upon seeing ten Fake Pill Zhenren and thirty Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators appearing as reinforcement, doubts vanished instantly.

Everyone thought that Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks was making final preparations for a counterattack, leaving no other suspicions.

For a while, the cultivators of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, vassal influences, and Loose Cultivators on various battle lines were all energized to fight against the cultivators of Wu Sheng Three Gates, with morale high. Additionally, the opening of the treasure vault by Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks encouraged even more participants.

Of course, there was another reason: not everyone could afford a ticket to leave the Divine Fall Mountain Range.

When Wen Jiu learned of this from Feng Jue, he felt somewhat emotional. Indeed, information is really important; otherwise, one might be played like a fool and not even realize it, even helping count money.

"Another fifty thousand mid-to-late-stage Qi Refining Cultivators, among them Foundation Establishment exist, so many cultivators, for Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, is about thirty to forty percent of their foundation. Coupled with the previous tens of thousands, for the Blood Demon Sect relics, Yi Nian Guan Shan is willing to throw in half of the sect’s foundation."

"Truly ruthless."

To kill a hundred thousand outsiders is nothing worth mentioning.

Cultivators, it’s impossible for anyone to be merciful to enemies or outsiders, not even the righteous path. But to kill a hundred thousand of his own, someone capable of such a thing cannot simply be described as ruthless.

"These old ones are indeed poisonous." Wen Jiu admitted he was not a good person, but for such actions, he could only bow in admiration, "Since that’s the case, then you must not be left alive. To be so cruel to one’s own, once surviving, must surely become a formidable threat if an opportunity arises."

At that moment.

Wen Jiu made a resolution.

Before leaving the Divine Fall Mountain Range for the last haul, he must ensure Yi Nian Guan Shan is dead, not even allowing a chance for rebirth through body possession. This kind of sinister person, once granted an opportunity, could rise with the wind and be too great a threat.

...

Within the True Spirit Divine Demon Array.

The Formless Demon Corpse continued forward, bypassing many apparent threats with the Formless Demon Body, while also crossing numerous unseen traps, such as the hidden Yin Evil Demonic Qi within the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Even for a Fake Pill Zhenren reaching here, inhaling it into the body would result in death from poison in a short time.

But for the Formless Demon Corpse, having the Blood Demon White Bone Body capable of merging and refining any demonic qi, those fatal Yin Evil Demonic Qi instead became sustenance for the Formless Demon Corpse.

However, the closer to the core, the more dangerous it became; a casual stone path might hold traps even a Golden Core Zhenren could die from. Even after wandering for days, Wen Jiu found no way out.

Leaving demonic corpse markings while moving forward, only to return to the starting point multiple times. As for attacking the stone walls, the Formless Demon Corpse simply couldn’t shake them. The massive stones forming the True Spirit Divine Demon Array were top-tier third-grade objects. Though not Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, their defensive strength was extremely formidable, coupled with the power of the magic array, even East Spring Undying Bone couldn’t break through with full power attacks.

"No way out?" Wen Jiu gazed at the giant tree shadow in the core region, sensing it was already within reach.

Five li distance.

If he could fly, it would be reached in an instant.

But now, five li seemed like a heavenly chasm,

"Could it be that only when the path beneath is covered in blood light will the road to the core be revealed?"

Wen Jiu speculated secretly, then attempted divination using the Corpse Fate Technique, but the fates involved were too deep, even surpassing Nascent Soul, yielding no results.

Yet, thinking about Yi Nian Guan Shan using lives to fill the way, Wen Jiu felt the guess was likely correct.

"If so, then wait until blood light covers the path beneath." Wen Jiu controlled the Formless Demon Corpse to hide in the dark, formless and shapeless, unconcerned about the consumption of corpse qi. With Three Corpses, Five Ghosts, and Law-Devouring Yin Insect as support, even if the Formless Demon Corpse didn’t use the Formless Demon Body’s corpse qi for decades or centuries, it would remain replenished.
