UGB Chapter 14 Cave Heaven and Paradise
Chapter 14 Cave Heaven and Paradise
Having made up his mind, Xuan Yao put the Xuan Sha Golden Whip into the deepest part of his dantian.
It was wrapped in layers of natal mystic energy and blessed pure energy, completely concealing the astonishing aura of this superior innate spiritual treasure.
After carefully sealing the Xuan Sha Golden Whip deep within his dantian, Xuan Yao flipped his hand and took out the black flying fork, a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure obtained from the gray-robed Taoist, as well as the feather he obtained from the spirit crane.
While the flying fork possessed considerable killing power, the filth and resentment it was tainted with were truly wicked.
If used for a long time, it can easily pollute one's own virtuous energy.
Xuan Yao channeled his magic power, suspending the feather wreathed in rosy light above the flying fork.
As the "True Explanation of the Golden Palace Mysterious Evil" was activated, the wisp of pure and tranquil energy contained within the feathers fell like a gentle stream, gradually washing away the evil and foul energy on the flying fork.
This process took hundreds of years of painstaking work.
As a wisp of foul-smelling black smoke completely dissipated, the originally black and foul-smelling flying fork shed its filthy appearance and transformed into a dark gold flying fork with a dark body.
Although its grade is still mid-grade acquired, it has lost the vicious and foul aura that backfired on its master, and instead has gained a sense of concealment and sharpness, making it suitable as Xuan Yao's commonly used weapon.
After doing all this, Xuan Yao put away the magic weapon with satisfaction and pushed open the stone palace door that had been sealed for more than 10,000 years.
After leaving the pass, Xuan Yao did not immediately travel far to explore the vast and boundless primordial land.
Instead, it transformed into an inconspicuous streak of light and quietly left the inner mountains of West Kunlun, beginning to search meticulously among the numerous mountains and ridges stretching for hundreds of millions of miles around West Kunlun.
Now that he is an inner disciple under the Queen Mother of the West, he can rightfully rely on the rich spiritual energy of the inner mountain of Xikunlun for long-term cultivation.
As a transmigrator with memories of the future, Xuan Yao knew better than anyone else.
Being a direct descendant of a great sect and establishing one's own sect and dojo are never two conflicting paths!
Looking ahead to the future of the primordial world, which of the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect under the prestigious Kunlun Jade Void Palace is not a direct descendant of a sage?
Yet they each found their own blessed land in the primordial wilderness.
Guangchengzi has the Peach Blossom Cave on Mount Jiuxian, Taiyi Zhenren has the Golden Light Cave on Mount Qianyuan, Yuding Zhenren has the Golden Glow Cave...
True immortals who have attained enlightenment, if they remain confined within their sect, not only appear to have a narrow perspective, but also find it difficult to travel freely in the primordial world, cultivate connections, and plan for future opportunities.
Therefore, Xuan Yao searched slowly and patiently in the surrounding areas of Xikunlun.
As he rode the clouds slowly, he secretly activated the "Golden Palace Mysterious Evil True Explanation," using his divine eyes that could see through yin and yang to sense the extremely subtle flow of fortune and misfortune between the earth's veins and the mountains and rivers below.
When choosing a place of practice, he considers not only the intensity of spiritual energy and the layout of the mountains and rivers, but also the seclusion and the escape routes in case of encountering a powerful enemy in the future.
The wilderness is vast, with countless beautiful mountains and rivers.
However, finding truly unclaimed land that meets all these conditions simultaneously is not so easy.
They traveled and stopped like this for hundreds of years.
On this day, Xuan Yao's escape light slowly stopped in the sky above a place about ten thousand miles southeast of Xikunlun.
"what?"
Xuan Yao parted the clouds, a strange light flashing in his dark golden tiger eyes.
Below him stretched a range of dark green mountains with undulating terrain.
From the outside, the rocks here are cold and hard, the forests are deep and secluded, and the spiritual energy is not very apparent. In this Kunlun region, which is full of immortal mountains, it is really not very eye-catching.
However, in the eyes of Xuan Yao, a Xuanxian who had mastered the methods of warding off evil and observing blessings, the layout of this place was absolutely wonderful!
The terrain of this dark green mountain range is low in the front and high in the back, resembling a natural treasure basin.
Within the thick mountain belly, Xuan Yao keenly sensed a wisp of pure spiritual energy slowly flowing.
Moreover, following the direction of the spiritual vein, deep within the mountains, lies a natural, secluded, and cold pool.
The clear air at the bottom of the pool was still and calm, and the cool and peaceful atmosphere it exuded was a perfect match for the Jade Dew Blessing in Xuan Yao's hand!
"What a hidden paradise! If we could open a cave here, set up an array, and plant the auspicious fungus in the cold pool, this place would transform into a true immortal abode within ten thousand years!"
Xuan Yao was overjoyed. Although he planned to establish his cave dwelling, his cultivation level was still insufficient.
Naturally, it was impossible to go to dangerous places like Buzhou in the East Sea, and one could not go too far from Xikunlun. One could only rely on the spiritual veins of Xikunlun to seek the protection of the Daoist lineage.
Therefore, for him, this place was already an excellent place for his practice.
Xuan Yao immediately wanted to descend from the clouds and explore further into the mountains.
However, just as his divine sense touched the mountainside of that dark green mountain range, his brows furrowed suddenly.
"Such a heavy aura of demonic energy and bloodlust!"
In the mountains and forests where pure energy should have gathered, thick black demonic winds rose into the sky, faintly mixed with a nauseating smell of blood and the bitter resentment of countless dying creatures.
Xuan Yao looked closely and then he noticed.
This excellent blessed land has long been forcibly occupied by a Xuanxian demon king who has been entrenched here for many years!
That demon king was a red-eyed boar who had attained enlightenment by acquiring some ancient bloodline, and was inherently greedy and cruel.
His forces also include hundreds of humanoid jackals, tigers, leopards, mountain spirits, and wild monsters.
These demons not only run rampant and tyrannical within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, but also wantonly plunder those low-level rogue cultivators as food.
They also frequently raid in groups on the surrounding gentle spirit beasts and birds.
They have turned this once peaceful and blessed place into a filthy and malevolent den of demons!
"What a waste of resources."
Xuan Yao looked at the mountains polluted by demonic energy, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.
In the primordial world, it was a world of survival of the fittest, where the great Dao contended for supremacy.
Since Xuan Yao had set his sights on this blessed land, there was naturally no reason for him to back down.
Moreover, slaying such a wicked demon burdened with karmic obstacles not only allows one to seize the sacred site, but is also an excellent way to align with the principles of Heaven and accumulate personal merit!
However, Xuan Yao did not become arrogant because of his great advancement in cultivation, and did not rush up recklessly to challenge them.
Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.
He first used a concealment technique to transform himself into a shadowy figure, and secretly observed the outer perimeter of the dark green mountain range for three whole days.
In these three days, his vast divine sense, at the late stage of the Profound Immortal realm, thoroughly investigated the Crimson-Eyed Demon King's patrol route, the number and distribution of his subordinate demons, the strength of the restrictions on his cave, and even the occasional fluctuations in the demon king's aura and his preferred weapon.
It was nightfall on the fourth day.
On a dark and windy night, a fierce wind howled through the mountains and forests.
The Crimson-Eyed Demon King had just plundered a batch of pills from rogue cultivators. At this moment, he was drinking heavily with several trusted demon generals deep inside the cave, their unrestrained laughter and the sounds of chewing flesh echoing through the cave.
Xuan Yao's figure flickered and he quietly slipped into the mountain.
"Whoosh—"
A streak of dark golden light flashed and disappeared in the dark mountain forest.
The dark gold flying fork, which had just been refined by Xuan Yao, now displayed extremely terrifying power.
"Pfft!" "Pfft!"
The little demons responsible for patrolling and keeping watch along the way didn't even have time to ring the warning gong before they felt a chill in their throats.
The dark gold flying fork instantly pierced their skulls, shredding their fragile souls.
Xuan Yao's methods were extremely ruthless and decisive, sweeping away everything in his path.
From the foot of the mountain to the cave halfway up the mountain, dozens of elite lesser demons on guard were silently slaughtered by him.
Until Xuan Yao's footsteps blatantly crushed a piece of white bone in front of the cave entrance.
The red-eyed demon king, who was deep inside the cave drinking wildly from a wine jar, suddenly shuddered and realized that something was wrong outside!
"Who dares to trespass on your grandpa's mountain gate?!"
Accompanied by a furious roar like muffled thunder.
With a deafening roar, the heavy stone door of the cave was smashed apart from the inside by a brute force!
Amidst the flying debris, a boar demon, three zhang tall, covered in crimson bristles like steel needles, with blood-red eyes, charged out, wielding a black stone hammer the size of a water vat, enveloped in overwhelming demonic energy.
As soon as the Crimson-Eyed Demon King rushed out of the cave, he saw Xuan Yao dressed in a black Taoist robe.
And behind Xuan Yao, the corpses of the little demons lay scattered on the ground, their deaths extremely tragic.
"You bastard! How dare you kill my son! Today, Grandpa Pig will smash you into mincemeat and devour you raw as a snack!"
The Crimson-Eyed Demon King's eyes were bloodshot, and he had no intention of wasting any words.
With a powerful push of his legs, his massive body swung the incredibly heavy black stone hammer, slamming it down towards Xuan Yao's head!
This hammer blow is powerful and heavy, capable of shattering mountains and splitting the earth.
Faced with such a ferocious attack, Xuan Yao remained calm and did not even reveal his true form as a black tiger.
With one hand forming a hand seal, the dark gold flying fork instantly transformed into a sharp streak of light, fiercely stabbing towards the black stone hammer.
At the same time, he flipped his left hand, and the small, low-grade brass shield floated in front of him, transforming into a thick yellow light screen.
"clang--!"
The flying fork and the sledgehammer collided with a loud crash in mid-air.
Although the Dark Gold Flying Fork was of a high grade, it still suffered some losses in the face of such pure brute force and heavy weapons, and was knocked back.
The black stone hammer, its power undiminished, slammed heavily onto the light screen of the brass shield.
"boom!"
The light screen trembled violently, and Xuan Yao used the force of the recoil to float backward dozens of feet like a falling leaf before landing steadily.
"This wild boar's physique and brute strength are far superior to that of the gray-robed Taoist."
Xuan Yao made a silent assessment in his mind.
This Crimson-Eyed Demon King, relying on his powerful demon bloodline and his massive black stone hammer, is far more difficult to deal with than ordinary cultivators of the same level.
If he continues to use the flying fork and small shield to deal with it, Xuan Yao is confident that he can eventually wear it down with his current abilities.
However, it will inevitably take some effort, and may even destroy the cave.
"Now that we've tested the weight, let's get going."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xuan Yao's eyes.
Just as the Crimson-Eyed Demon King had repelled Xuan Yao with a single blow, thinking he had gained the upper hand, and roared as he prepared to raise his hammer and charge again, he revealed a momentary opening in his defenses.
Xuan Yao will no longer hold back!
With a thought, the energy that had been sealed deep within his dantian suddenly erupted.
"Whoosh—!"
A dazzling, dark golden light suddenly shot into the sky from Xuan Yao's palm!
The superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Mysterious Fiend Golden Whip!
As soon as the golden whip was unleashed, the malevolent energy within a radius of a hundred miles instantly froze.
An overwhelming pressure, capable of shattering spirits and splitting gods, pressed down on the Crimson-Eyed Demon King like a mountain range!
The Crimson-Eyed Demon King, who was charging forward, suddenly froze under the pressure of this superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, and for the first time, extreme horror appeared in his scarlet eyes.
"A top-grade innate...spiritual treasure?!"
They didn't give the Demon King any chance to react at all.
Xuan Yao gripped the golden whip, his innate Xuan Sha energy surging wildly into it, and lashed out at the Crimson-Eyed Demon King from afar!
“Pah!”
Just one lash!
The protective demonic light that the Crimson-Eyed Demon King was so proud of shattered instantly!
Immediately afterwards, Xuan Yao flipped his wrist, and the second whip came right after!
The Crimson-Eyed Demon King was terrified and could only instinctively raise the huge black stone hammer in front of him to block.
"Snap!"
It was accompanied by a crisp cracking sound.
The massive black stone hammer, which had shattered countless heads of rogue cultivators, was instantly covered in cracks under the supreme sharpness of the Xuan Sha Golden Whip, and then exploded into dust with a bang.
"Spare me—!"
With his magical artifact destroyed and his demonic light shattered, the Crimson-Eyed Demon King was terrified and begged for mercy. At the same time, his body shone with a bright blood-red light as he attempted to use a blood escape technique to flee this deadly place.
"Too late!"
Xuan Yao let out a cold shout, and his figure instantly transformed into an enormous black and gold tiger.
The Black Tiger's true form moved at incredible speed, closing in on the demon king in the blink of an eye.
Xuan Yao stood upright, his thick tiger claws gripping the Xuan Sha Golden Whip tightly. With the immense power of the Black Tiger's true form and the divine power of the spiritual treasure, he swung it down fiercely at the enormous pig's head!
"what!"
The red-eyed demon king's hard head exploded on the spot under this attack.
The demon king's primordial spirit didn't even have time to utter a scream before it was completely obliterated into nothingness, its soul scattered!
