Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2693 Temptation

Inside the cave, Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo were busy as bees.

Qin Sang continuously sent back spiritual materials, which were then categorized and refined.

Luo Luo Demon Lord proceeded cautiously, finally employing a secret technique to split the entire Tai Mu Xuan Bamboo in two without damaging the properties of the spiritual material.

The huge bamboo stalks were cut in half and placed side by side on the ground.

The two sat suspended in mid-air, and beams of precious light flowed past them like water, refining the essence of the spiritual materials in their hands.

With their abilities, they could easily multitask. While casting spells to refine the bamboo, they looked at Tai Mu Xuan Zhu and discussed the next steps in the refining process.

Luo Luo Demon Lord already had a plan in mind, and now he explained it to Qin Sang without reservation. Although this was Qin Sang's first time refining the Tai Mu Divine Ship, he had traveled to both realms and had a broader perspective than Luo Luo Demon Lord. Every time he raised a question or made a suggestion, he was able to hit the nail on the head, which made Luo Luo Demon Lord admire him greatly.

Through their joint efforts, the plan was continuously revised and finally achieved a near-perfect result.

time flies.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Above the Qianmo Tower, the clouds were like a sea, and floating in the sea of ​​clouds were two enormous creatures, like two azure dragons standing tall with their heads held high.

These are the keel of the Taimu Shenzhou!

Each skeleton gleamed with a brilliant golden luster, resembling a sun hidden in the clouds from afar. The golden light seemed alive, flowing along the keel, and each time it flowed past the bow, it would form a golden storm, distorting the surrounding void.

The two worked tirelessly and finally completed the refining of the two dragon bones. There were several mishaps during the process, and the dragon bones were almost destroyed, but fortunately, they managed to turn the danger into safety in the end.

Refining the dragon bones is the most crucial and difficult step in forging the Tai Mu Divine Ship. Once the dragon bones are refined, the Tai Mu Divine Ship is 70% complete. The two of them then only need to follow the steps to forge their own divine ship.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo appeared in front of the entrance to the cave.

"Fellow Daoist, please be careful on your journey!" Qin Sang said solemnly.

Now that the Tai Mu Divine Ship has been completed, Demon Lord Luo Luo is determined to leave and has decided to depart today. Qin Sang will personally see him off.

Although they haven't known each other for long, they've been through thick and thin together and now have a deep friendship.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment, there's no need to see me off any further!"

Lord Luo Luo gazed deeply into the depths of the Demon Realm, then bowed to Qin Sang in farewell, saying, "Until we meet again!"

Until we meet again!

Despite the many hardships ahead and the uncertainty of whether they would ever meet again, Lord Luo Luo showed no sadness, but instead exuded boundless pride, declaring, "Come to my residence another day, and I will invite you to drink fine wine with me!"

Having said that, he laughed heartily, waved his sleeve, and a beam of dark light shot out, swelling in mid-air and instantly transforming into a treasure ship.

This is the Tai Mu Divine Boat that Lord Luo Luo crafted for himself. Its shape is somewhat similar to a covered boat. The Tai Mu Divine Boat can be large or small. At this moment, the boat is small and can only accommodate Lord Luo Luo alone.

Luo Luo Demon Lord flashed onto the divine ship, and with a flash of dark light, the Tai Mu Divine Ship disappeared in an instant, its speed astonishing.

Qin Sang watched the Tai Mu Divine Ship depart into the distance, and looking around at the vast天地 (heaven and earth), a sense of loneliness welled up in his heart. After the Demon Lord Luo Luo left, he was left alone, surrounded by demons.

But cultivators are already used to solitude. Qin Sang remained calm and returned to Xuan Su Cave Heaven. He then traveled through Qian Mo Tower to Mang Yuan Cave Heaven.

Looking at this grotto-heaven, Qin Sang thought of Yuan Zai Tian and the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction that spanned the entire realm.

He also wanted to emulate Yuan Zaitian and personally build an impregnable dojo, so that he could invite demons into his grotto and easily eliminate them. But Qin Sang knew very well that this would be a massive undertaking.

Not to mention how long it will take, it will also require a massive amount of spiritual materials. Qin Sang's foundation has been partially depleted by the Tai Mu Divine Boat, and what remains is insufficient to set up the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction that covers the Lesser Thousand Worlds.

After much deliberation, Qin Sang decided to first set up the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction in her own little cave.

With the Climbing Vine and the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction in the future, a solid defense line can be built. These two cave heavens cannot be taken away and may be abandoned by him at any time.

Every time Qin Sang returned to Xiaodongtian, she would visit Zhuque's cave. This time was no exception. Zhuque's cave was as quiet as ever, and it was unknown when she would be able to leave.

Upon reaching the summit, Qin Sang looked around. His small grotto-heaven was only a hundred miles in circumference, which was considered small even in the context of the Lesser Thousand Worlds.

Small has its advantages.

Qin Sang silently deduced in her mind that the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction could not be set up casually. It required taking into account the direction of the spiritual veins and special things like the climbing vines in order to perfectly match the cave heaven and become a protective divine restriction covering the entire cave heaven!

"Climbing vines, Purple Pool... and there!"

Qin Sang looked at a mountain peak in the distance.

There was an altar in the mountain. It had existed before he obtained the Small Cave Heaven. Qin Sang initially thought that he might be able to find some clues from this altar to find out the origin of the Small Cave Heaven, so he left it behind.

Later, I checked it several times in my spare time, but found nothing. It seemed to have long since become a dead altar.

The only certainty now is that it is a witch clan altar, the origin and power of which are all unknown.

This altar shouldn't be given too much attention, but the purple pool and the climbing vines cannot be ignored.

Before going into seclusion, Suzaku gave the Climbing Vine to Qin Sang, so he only needed to find the point of compatibility between the Climbing Vine and the Emperor Rainbow Magic Restriction based on the characteristics of the Climbing Vine.

The difficult part is the purple pool; the purple water in the pool remains a mystery to this day.

"The only way is to seal the Purple Pool first!"

Qin Sang pondered for a long time, then sighed helplessly.

Having made the decision, Qin Sang immediately set to work. First, she used magic to seal the Purple Pool in a corner of the cave, and then she took out the spiritual materials she had accumulated to refine the array that would carry the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction.

With his current mastery of the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction, he is already able to use it to fight enemies in the air. However, his cultivation is still somewhat lacking, and the power of the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction he uses on the spot is not as good as that of a pre-forged array.

After completing the Tai Mu Divine Boat, Qin Sang became busy again. He was completely absorbed in his work and put all his effort into it. Soon, array artifacts were formed and floated around.

As the array artifact swayed, restrictive runes appeared out of thin air and merged into the array artifact.

The runes and array artifacts merged to form an Imperial Rainbow Demon Restriction, which, under Qin Sang's activation, gradually became ethereal and disappeared into the void, its whereabouts unknown.

As Qin Sang moved, the Little Cave Heaven began to change. The most obvious change was that the eastern sky of the Little Cave Heaven became darker and darker, like ink.

Darkness gradually spread westward, and a black curtain of sky was slowly taking shape in Qin Sang's hands.

After an unknown amount of time, the small cave became completely dark, shrouded in the pitch-black sky.

Qin Sang did not stop. The sky grew deeper and deeper until not a single ray of light could penetrate it, and the small cave was pitch black.

Beneath the black sky, a faint blue shadow could be seen, like a dragon clinging to the heavens, its branches and leaves spreading out like the dragon's claws—this was the climbing vine.

Back then, the climbing vine was just a thin vine, but now it is completely different.

"call……"

Qin Sang finally stopped. He exhaled softly, his voice sounding somewhat tired. He opened his eyes, looked at his work, and showed a satisfied expression.

This is the result of his understanding of the Emperor Rainbow Demon Restriction; all the effort he put in back then was worthwhile.

With the Climbing Vine and the Imperial Rainbow Magic Restriction, not only do they possess the ability to resist foreign invasion, but their ability to conceal themselves is also greatly enhanced.

Qin Sang flew out of the small cave heaven, stroked the Thousand-Pound Ring, and focused on sensing the Dao Beacon Gate of the small cave heaven. He quickly made a judgment - if he were to enter the small cave heaven again, even a mid-stage Integration Realm cultivator might not be able to detect him!

I will strive to keep up my efforts and one day be able to deceive even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, then I will have fewer things to fear.

Qin Sang smiled nonchalantly, pondered for a moment, and then took out another item.

As soon as this item was offered up, it transformed into eight clusters of precious light, which swirled around him continuously.

The Eight Extremes Underworld!

According to Lord Luoluo, this is a demon-luring treasure of the Earthly Demon Palace, capable of attracting demons from outside the realm within the realm. Moreover, this Eight Extremes Underworld is clearly more complex than recorded, and its power should be even greater.

"Ok?"

When Qin Sang began to attempt to refine the Eight Extremes Underworld, the process went quite smoothly. However, unexpectedly, even after he gained control of the Eight Extremes Underworld, he was still unable to unravel the secrets of this treasure.

When this treasure was forged, it may have been created using some special method and rare and precious materials.

Qin Sang and Luo Luo Demon Lord opened and read all the books they obtained in Yuan Zaitian, but none of them contained any methods related to the Eight Extremes Underworld.

In other words, if this treasure is destroyed, Qin Sang will have a hard time restoring it, so he must be careful when using it.

Qin Sang's high regard for the Eight Extremes Underworld was related to his plan to comprehend the Dao of Slaughter. Searching everywhere for demons to kill was far less efficient than setting up the Eight Extremes Underworld to leisurely lure them to their deaths!

"Let's see how powerful this treasure really is..."

After some time, Qin Sang finally refined the Eight Extremes Underworld. He spread his five fingers and eight light spheres flew out from his palm, spinning rapidly. Each light sphere contained a miniature immortal palace.

Qin Sang's figure flashed, and he escaped from the Mangyuan Ancient Palace. Then he summoned his Tai Mu Divine Boat.

He refined the Tai Mu Divine Boat into the shape of a shuttle, with pointed ends, resembling a lone boat.

With a flash of golden light, the shuttle soared into the sky and disappeared.

Qin Sang rode the Tai Mu Divine Ship, using the Mangyuan Cave Heaven as its center, and continuously expanded outwards, traveling to all directions.

They quickly became familiar with the surrounding terrain and the distribution of the demons.

As expected, there was no trace of the Six Desires Demon Lord around the Wilderness Cave Heaven. Perhaps in the eyes of the Heavenly Demon, this place was a desolate land.

After flying for a long time, Qin Sang suddenly landed on a deserted plain.

The wasteland was teeming with countless demonic shadows, forming a torrent of celestial demons. In the midst of the demons, the void opened a gigantic maw, from which celestial demons continuously emerged.

"Let's do it here!"

Qin Sang released the Thunder Beast Warrior.

There was no Six Desires Demon Lord here, and the Thunder Beast Warriors charged in several times, almost wiping out all the demons.

Qin Sang observed the terrain, flicked his fingers, and the eight orbs of light shot out in different directions.

'Boom! Boom! Boom!'

The ball of light landed and revealed its true form: eight celestial palaces arranged around the void rift.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of light appeared, and the celestial palace became an illusion, fading further and further away.

The eight celestial palaces still exist, but their true forms have been concealed, and only Qin Sang can 'see' them.

As Qin Sang activated the Eight Extremes Underworld, invisible fluctuations spread out.

Qin Sang connected her mind with the Eight Extremes Underworld and discovered something amazing: the fluctuations of the Eight Extremes Underworld, though seemingly weak, were able to pass through the void rifts, unaffected by the void storms, and travel to unknown distances.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of celestial demons suddenly swarmed out from the void rift, all of them being demons of the five aggregates.

Qin Sang secretly observed their expressions and saw that these Five Elements Yin Demons were rushing towards the source of the fluctuations with greed and urgency in their expressions. They were indeed attracted by the Eight Extremes Underworld.

Immediate results!

Qin Sang clicked his tongue in amazement. These few demons were not worth mentioning. He continued to look at the void rift, and saw more and more demonic figures squeezing out from it.

Even among the vast Heavenly Demon Clan, those stronger than the Unknown Demon King Realm are few and far between.

For a time, those attracted were all demons of the five aggregates.

They were lured here by the Eight Extremes Underworld, but once inside they could not find anything to tempt them and were trapped by the Eight Extremes Underworld, each of them was extremely anxious.

Qin Sang remained silent, prepared herself, and continued to wait patiently.

Finally, Qin Sang sensed a fluctuation far exceeding that of the Five Elements Yin Demon.

"Finally, a demon king has arrived!"

Qin Sang thought to himself, and spread his five fingers. A giant hand appeared out of thin air and grabbed the Unknown Demon King.

Having captured the demon, Qin Sang immediately began searching its memories.

This ignorant demon king is different from the one Qin Sang encountered in the Wilderness Cave Heaven. It did not have the opportunity to corrupt the cultivators who had reached the Void Refinement stage, nor did it attain enlightenment on its own.

By comparing the two, Qin Sang noticed the difference.

Since it was able to attain enlightenment on its own, it proves that this ignorant demon king is not lacking in talent and wisdom, but it lacks humanity.

That demon that attained enlightenment through demonic influence, which possessed the ability to appreciate flowers and reminisce, was because it had been tainted by humanity.

Qin Sang had no idea what the difference was between the two for the Heavenly Demon; what he cared about was the origin of this Unknown Demon King.

After a thorough search, it was discovered that the demon had just been outside the boundary, and this void rift was directly connected to the outside!

Qin Sang instantly felt the urge to go out and take a look. Although he had 'seen' some scenes from beyond the boundary through the memories of the Heavenly Demon, seeing is believing.

After a moment's hesitation, Qin Sang suppressed her impulse.

Beyond this boundary lies the territory of the Heavenly Demons, a death trap for all living beings; the boundaries between inside and outside should be clearly defined.

Although Qin Sang's cultivation level is now quite high, she does not dare to go outside the boundary at will.

Mahayana cultivators can easily sense the Demon Kingdom and avoid danger in advance, while they might only discover the anomalies after entering the Demon Kingdom. This is why Mahayana cultivators can travel outside the boundary, while Nascent Soul cultivators usually stay obediently within the boundary. A cultivator trespassing into the Demon Kingdom outside the boundary is as conspicuous as the bright moon at midnight.

In the memory of this ignorant demon king, there were no powerful beings in the outer region corresponding to the void rift, but its memory may be obscured.

Furthermore, through its memories, Qin Sang also understood the principle of the Eight Extremes Underworld's seduction of demons. It's truly baffling how the Earthly Demon Palace came up with the idea that the fluctuations, though perceived by the Heavenly Demons, could deceive their senses, making them mistakenly believe that a cultivator was undergoing tribulation here.

Now, the Northern Demon Realm is riddled with void rifts, connecting the inside and outside, making it easy for Heavenly Demons to enter and lure demons into the realm, even more so than before.

In a short time, another torrent of heavenly demons gathered before Qin Sang. (End of Chapter)
