Chapter 337 Yokokawa's Panic and Grudges
Wildfire Sparrow breaks through.
Li Ping also decided not to stay in the Western Wilderness any longer.
Although the Western Wilderness is about to descend into chaos, as the saying goes, troubled times produce heroes, and it's easy to fish in troubled waters.
He was a Core Formation cultivator, possessed a third-tier puppet, and his spirit beast, the Wildfire Sparrow, had also reached the third tier.
With such strength, there's no need to avoid chaos; actively participating might even stir up trouble and lead to a grand and successful empire.
However, Li Ping was not a power-hungry person; he was focused on pursuing the Dao and had no interest in building power.
Moreover, there aren't many resources in the Western Wilderness cultivation world worth his effort to compete for.
Therefore, he was too lazy to participate in the great battle between the Defenders Alliance and the Four Demonic Sects.
He's going to the Great Zhou Dynasty to seek immortality.
Of course, before going to the Great Zhou, he had one more thing to do, which was to kill the two monsters, Chi Lei and Wu Laomo, who wanted to harm him.
So much time has passed since he last left Donghua Mountain. Even if Old Monster Chi Lei is not dead, he must be very old and just hoping to refine a few more talismans to leave to the next generation of his family.
Li Ping was looking forward to seeing him again.
……
On the Cold Pool Spirit Island, Li Ping put away all the spirit beasts and other items.
He then smiled at Meng Wanjun and said, "Let's go!"
"Yes, young master!" Meng Wanjun's eyes showed some reluctance.
Having spent eight years alone with the young master on this sacred island, she had developed a certain affection for it.
After flying away from the Spirit Island, Li Ping resealed the formation.
Then the two of them flew together toward the passage.
A few quarters of an hour later, the two figures appeared in the sky above Bifeng Lake.
Li Ping's lips moved slightly as he transmitted his voice into the formation, and he was quickly led into the main hall on the island by Yan Hengchuan.
He came to see Yan Hengchuan for two main reasons.
This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.
Firstly, the information he had about the Western Wilderness was from last year, and he needed to obtain the latest information about the Western Wilderness from Yan Hengchuan in order to make it easier for him to cause trouble for Old Monster Chi Lei next.
Secondly, he doesn't know when he will return after leaving the Western Wilderness this time.
He had already modified the formation on the Cold Pool Spirit Island, and he had complete control over the specific methods of entering and exiting.
He needed to tell Yan Hengchuan about the access token and how to use it before leaving.
In this way, as long as Ji Shuwen or Yan Jing successfully forms their core, he can secretly develop the third-order spiritual vein of the Cold Pool.
Sitting in the main hall, watching the maidservants serve spiritual tea and then leave, Li Ping smiled and inquired about the recent situation in the Western Wilderness cultivation world.
Upon hearing his master's question, Yan Hengchuan quickly reported all the information he had gathered during this period.
Li Ping listened and nodded slightly.
According to Yan Hengchuan's description, the Defenders Alliance and the Four Demonic Sects maintained mutual restraint and did not openly clash.
In fact, instead of falling out, they cooperated sincerely and were determined to capture the great demon 'Li Jingyu' who was wreaking havoc in the Western Wilderness.
However, the strange thing is that, despite the two factions joining forces, Li Jingyu was not only not captured and executed, but instead became even more unscrupulous in his indiscriminate killing.
What's even more outrageous is that Li Jingyu is very fair in his actions. He doesn't just target one side to kill, but kills the righteous path first and then the demonic path, striving to make the losses to both sides roughly the same.
The only difference is that when dealing with the righteous path, he would commit cruel acts such as annihilating sects and clans, while when dealing with the demonic path, he would only target and kill the Core Formation cultivators of the demonic path.
Finally, Yan Hengchuan couldn't help but sigh, "Li Jingyu's actions are truly appalling, but his strength is also terrifying. Even if both righteous and demonic cultivators came out together, they would still be unable to do anything to him."
He replied, then his expression turned worried: "During this time, even the cultivation families in Jiang Kingdom have been on high alert, wary of Li Jingyu's sudden attack. I have strictly forbidden my clansmen from going to Donghua Mountain. Alas... I wonder when this fiend will finally be killed."
Li Ping nodded slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
The actions of both the righteous and demonic factions seem to be avoiding direct conflict, but in reality, they are walking a tightrope. If one is not careful, and a Core Formation cultivator can't handle it, a full-scale conflict will immediately break out.
However, judging from the fact that both sides have declared that they want to deal with Li Jingyu.
Li Ping could tell that both the Defenders Alliance and the Four Demonic Sects were actually wary of each other.
What the Defenders Alliance fears is easy to understand: Lu Laomo, the number one person in the Western Wilderness. Without his accurate information, the Defenders Alliance dares not start a war directly.
What are the four major sects of the demonic path so afraid of?
Li Ping believed that even the four major sects of the Demonic Path might not know Lu Laomo's exact condition or whether he would return to the Western Wilderness.
The mysterious whereabouts of Lu Laomo have ironically become a stabilizer for the situation in the Western Wilderness.
……
After learning about the situation in the Western Wilderness, Li Ping took out a jade slip and a battle flag from his storage bag and placed them on the table.
Seeing Yan Hengchuan's puzzled look, he smiled and explained, "During this time, I have successfully taken control of the formation on Cold Pool Spirit Island and made some modifications to it. This formation flag is the key to controlling the formation. With the formation flag in hand, you can freely enter the formation. I have left all the specific methods of entering and controlling it in this jade slip."
Upon hearing Li Ping's words, Yan Hengchuan was initially delighted, happy that his family could have a third-tier spiritual land as their foundation.
But then he noticed the tone of his master's voice when he entrusted the sacred land to him, and a bad feeling immediately arose in his heart.
He remembered that more than a hundred years ago, when his grandmaster returned to attend his Daoist partner ceremony, he spoke to his grandfather in the same tone.
Not long after, the Grandmaster left the Western Wilderness and did not return until more than seventy years later.
"Is Grandmaster going to leave the Western Wilderness again?" Yan Hengchuan couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Out of respect for his master, the Jiang family had to give him some face. Whenever he encountered difficulties, just thinking of his master gave him the confidence to overcome any obstacle.
If his master were gone... he couldn't help but feel panicked.
Thinking of this, he didn't reach for the jade slip on the table, but couldn't help asking, "Grandmaster, are you leaving the Western Wilderness?"
Li Ping glanced at him, smiled and nodded: "Yes, I will soon be setting off for the Great Zhou to seek an opportunity to advance further on the path of immortality."
Upon receiving confirmation from his master, a hint of sadness flashed in Yan Hengchuan's eyes.
The journey between the Great Zhou and the Western Wilderness is long, and once the Grandmaster leaves, it will be difficult for him to return. With the lifespan he has left, this may be the last time he sees the Grandmaster.
Only then did Yan Hengchuan truly understand what it meant for the Great Dao to be ruthless.
He was much younger than his master, but his master was a Core Formation cultivator with a long lifespan, so he would actually pass away before his master.
If one fails to achieve great things, when the time comes, all that will remain is a handful of yellow earth.
"Although I am no longer able to achieve this, Jing'er has a great chance of forming his core, which means that I have been continued in his body." With this thought in mind, Yan Hengchuan finally composed himself.
The next moment, he smiled and congratulated, "Yokochi here congratulates Master in advance on achieving the Nascent Soul stage and completing the Great Dao."
Li Ping smiled and nodded: "Good!"
……
After leaving Bifeng Lake, the dark silver flying boat headed straight for Donghua Mountain.
Li Ping stood alone at the bow of the flying boat, while Meng Wanjun was left at Bifeng Lake under the pretext that he needed to "take care of some things on his own".
His mission was to kill two Core Formation cultivators, so it was naturally inappropriate for him to bring along a maid who was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
In addition, he also carried spirit beasts and puppets with him.
While propelling the flying boat forward, Li Ping pondered his plan to arm his spirit pet, the Wildfire Sparrow.
In fact, after a demon beast breaks through to the third rank, it can also use magic weapons like a human Core Formation cultivator. However, normally, third-rank demon beasts have little intelligence and do not know how to refine magic weapons.
Therefore, most third-tier demonic beasts still rely on their own innate secret techniques and physical bodies to fight. Only fourth-tier demonic beasts have intelligence no different from humans and usually refine their own natal magic treasures. When fighting, their methods are also more complex and diverse.
Li Ping was preparing to forge a natal magic weapon for his spirit pet.
after all.
Most of the power of a natal magic weapon comes from the cultivation of the alchemical fire and the alchemical essence. The earlier it is forged, the stronger its power will be as the Wildfire Sparrow continues to grow.
Before the natal magic weapon is forged.
Li Ping entrusted the seal magic weapon he obtained from Sheng Hu to it for temporary use and refinement. However, the seal magic weapon was Sheng Hu's natal magic weapon, and the Wildfire Sparrow would need to spend a considerable amount of time refining it before it could successfully control it.
Fortunately, he still had a Blood Sword Talisman he obtained from Hua Hong. The talisman did not need to be refined; it could be used simply by infusing it with magic power.
In order to quickly improve the combat power of the Wildfire Sparrow before dealing with the Crimson Thunder Old Monster, Li Ping handed this talisman to its wielder.
Whether it's the imperial seal or the blood sword talisman, they are merely stopgap measures.
The best solution is to forge a natal magic weapon for the Wildfire Sparrow as soon as possible, but Li Ping has not yet decided on the specific type of natal magic weapon to forge.
……
Before we knew it, Donghua Mountain had come into view in the distance.
However, Li Ping's destination was not Donghua Mountain, but a second-grade high-quality spiritual vein called "Five Thunder Peak" located eight thousand miles east of Donghua Mountain. That was the place where the Crimson Thunder Old Monster settled his family's descendants.
According to Li Ping, apart from some of his descendants being assigned to various positions as stewards at Donghua Mountain by the Old Monster Chi Lei, most of his descendants live and cultivate at Wulei Mountain.
He believed that Old Monster Chi Lei was nearing the end of his life and would either return to the Hehuan Sect or stay in Wulei Mountain. There was only a very low possibility that he would stay in Donghua Mountain Market to continue contributing his remaining energy.
If the Crimson Thunder Monster is at Five Thunder Mountain, that would be ideal. If he isn't, then Li Ping will have to find out his exact location through his descendants and try to lure him out.
In any case, all of Crimson Thunder Old Monster's descendants are pawns planted by the Joyful Union Sect.
Those who belong to the demonic path, if we kill them, so be it; consider it as eliminating a scourge for the Western Wilderness.
With this thought in mind, Li Ping suddenly urged his divine sense, and the flying boat beneath his feet shot out like lightning, heading towards the direction of Five Thunder Mountain.
As he flew, Li Ping's appearance and physique began to change rapidly, transforming him into a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion.
He wouldn't use his true identity to make enemies.
He himself was not afraid, but he still had to consider the safety of Yan Hengchuan, Zhang Tie, and other people connected to him.
He certainly didn't want to become a jinx who would cause the deaths of his friends and family.
Even if he gets revenge in the future, what's the point of revenge if the person is gone?
