First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 218: Development of the Situation

After more than ten days.

Tianshan City, rented Spirit Hall.

Shen Mo, with a respectful expression, personally escorted Elder Huang out of the courtyard gate.

Then, he returned to the house and casually set up a prohibition talisman.

"The reward for winning first place in the Tianshan ceremony has finally been obtained!"

A satisfied smile appeared on Shen Mo's face.

In front of him, in a golden patterned wooden box, three treasures were quietly displayed: a jade scroll, a mineral, and a flying sword.

During these days, the situation began to become clear.

Peak Master Zhou Shili, Elder Huang, and others, as well as the later arrival of the five major immortal sect powerhouses, successfully sealed off the passage between the two realms.

According to Elder Huang's words.

More than fifty Spirit Sea realm powerhouses, even once killed many powerful demons in the lower realm of the Demon Realm.

Among them, there were more than twenty third-stage demons alone!

They had to retreat only when fourth-stage demons appeared.

However, they also successfully set up numerous formations and prohibitions at the passage, imprisoning the spatial cracks.

This made it impossible for powerful demons of the third stage and above to invade the Kingdom of Chiyan through this place!

The price paid was not small.

Including Yan Shi Dao Ren from the Ghost Corpse Sect, a total of eight Spirit Sea realm powerhouses were tainted and devoured by third-stage demons.

The situation was relatively better for the Linjiang Sect, with only one elder from the Xuri Peak dying in the Demon Realm.

He was one of the three elders who led the disciples to participate in the Tianshan ceremony and had previously mentioned rewarding Shen Mo for his contributions to Xuri Peak.

Hearing this news, Shen Mo couldn't help but feel regretful!

But it also confirmed his previous judgment from Elder Huang!

The five major immortal sects did not completely seal off the passage, but rather restricted the upper limit of the invading demon's strength.

Third-stage demons couldn't come over.

The strongest would only be at the peak of the second stage!

"This approach serves two purposes. First, it can warn the cultivation world of the Kingdom of Chiyan that a demonic disaster is imminent!"

"All cultivators, whether they are from major sects, small sects, or wandering cultivators, must unite and defend against the demons."

In Shen Mo's opinion, this was very necessary!

Otherwise, following the usual nature of cultivators' pursuits.

Wandering cultivators would rely on disciples from major sects, while small sects and powerful clans would rely on the five major immortal sects to handle things!

Of course, the previous demonic disaster only passed twenty years ago.

For cultivators with long lifespans, it was like yesterday!

Especially for the old monster Yuan Dan, twenty years was like a short nap.

With such a pillar of support, it was unlikely that escaping from the Kingdom of Chiyan to avoid the demonic disaster and mating with mutated demons would become the mainstream!

Having a sense of righteousness was not enough!

Profitability was also crucial.

For individual cultivators, the generous rewards from the Dang Mo Temple were like carrots hanging in front of a donkey.

Even Shen Mo couldn't resist!

And various forces were even more concerned about the distribution of benefits after the demonic disaster.

In this disaster, countless cultivators would undoubtedly perish, and many sects and forces would be destroyed. At that time, countless industries would become ownerless.

Even if the five major immortal sects ate the meat, they would still be able to have a sip of soup!

"The more crucial point is to use the Tianshan region as a training ground and use the demons to temper the cultivators of the Kingdom of Chiyan!"

Don't be fooled by the demons surging out from the bottom of the mountain.

Those are only second-stage demons, just the vanguard of the demonic disaster!

Now there are already a large number of first-stage demons emerging from the underground. In a few more days, there will be tens of thousands, even millions of low-level demons invading the Kingdom of Chiyan.

By then, the numerous Body Tempering and Qi Gathering cultivators in the cultivation world had become the main force!

Otherwise.

Relying solely on cultivators in the Spiritual Sea realm and above, when would they be able to kill them?

By the time they finish killing, the millions of living beings in the Chi Yan Kingdom will have been mostly tainted and devoured by the Heavenly Demons, completely wiped out.

It is possible that countless third and fourth stage Heavenly Demons will be bred.

Then, they will turn around and devour the high-level cultivators of the Chi Yan Kingdom, reducing them to piles of bone fragments.

Therefore, it is crucial to cultivate and train low-level disciples.

Whether they are disciples of immortal sects or wandering cultivators...

Even evil cultivators, as long as they are willing to put in the effort to kill the Heavenly Demons, the five major immortal sects will temporarily turn a blind eye.

After surviving the demonic calamity, they can settle the score.

Nowadays, there are already over twenty thousand cultivators in the Tian Shan City.

There are also a continuous stream of disciples in the Body Tempering and Qi Gathering realms coming from all over the Chi Yan Kingdom.

The ones who arrived earlier are mostly disciples of the five major immortal sects, sects with teleportation arrays, and prestigious clans. After all, using a teleportation array is much faster than flying on a sword.

Two days ago.

Shen Mo met his good friends Chen Mengze and Cao Ren in Tian Shan City.

According to Chen Mengze, in a few days, Uncle Chen will bring a group of Body Tempering disciples to the Tian Shan battlefield to kill demons and gain experience.

It has been a while since they last met.

Chen Mengze has already reached the sixth level of Qi Gathering, naturally not on the same level as Zhao Lingyin, Lu Ming, and other inner disciples who have manifested their Laws.

But her cultivation speed is not slow at all!

Among the inner disciples, she can be considered above average.

As for another good friend, Cao Ren, he is not doing so well.

Half a year has passed, and he is still stuck at the second level of Qi Gathering. It should be noted that the higher the realm, the slower the progress.

At this rate, he may not be able to reach the Spiritual Sea realm in his lifetime.

He can only follow Uncle Chen's example and change his identity to become an attendant of the Linjiang Sect when he is about the same age.

Now, Shen Mo has an abundance of pills!

So he gave them many top-grade and second-grade spirit pills, especially the Demon Subduing Pill, which can to some extent restrain demonic taint.

Nowadays, the price of these pills on the market has skyrocketed!

Chen Mengze's attitude towards him hasn't changed much. After accepting the pills, she returned the favor by giving Shen Mo some monster corpses and demon pills.

She remembered that Shen Mo had been collecting these resources all along, whether it was in the Xuanjing Mine Area or the Ghost Domain of Heaven's Abandonment.

So she deliberately kept a lot of them and didn't sell them for spirit stones.

However, she didn't know that Shen Mo no longer needed monster corpses and spirit souls to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body.

Shen Mo didn't waste these monster corpses and demon pills either.

He fed them all to a small Heavenly Demon Soul General, cultivating it to the late second stage and tainting the soul general with demonic taint.

He plans to taint all eighteen late-stage soul generals one by one with the small Heavenly Demon Soul General.

In this way, when facing late-stage and even peak-stage original Heavenly Demons, he won't have to worry about their Divine Ability of demonic taint. He can simply surround and kill them with the late-stage soul generals like Hong Jue Sanren.

Cao Ren also learned about Shen Mo's astonishing performance at the Tian Shan ceremony!

While feeling envious, his attitude towards Shen Mo has obviously become less restrained than before.

Unable to come up with any good items as a gift after receiving Shen Mo's spirit pills, he gave Shen Mo the scrolls of his father's alchemy and talisman-making techniques as a return gift.

Shen Mo no longer has much use for these alchemy formulas and talisman scrolls.

But he still smiled and accepted them!

As for the past competition among the rising stars and the people he met, such as Lu Xu, Liu Qing, and Xu Longxiang, they have all arrived in Tian Shan City one after another.

But Shen Mo only had superficial interactions with them and didn't talk much!

On the other hand, Liu Qing, for some reason, invited him to the Tian Shan battlefield every day through voice transmission talismans.

Naturally, Shen Mo refused without hesitation!
