The thick stone door opened, and two old-looking men appeared. They had white hair and beards, but they did not exclude the feeling of being old. Instead, there was a sense of relaxation like dust floating in the wind, just like the Divine Immortals of the legends.
The only difference was that the person on the left was dressed as a Taoist and the old man on the right was wearing a green robe.
“Disciple greets martial uncles.” Taibai Sword Immortal and Ouyang Qinxin bowed respectfully at the same time.
The old men reacted as if they didn’t hear.
The two Core Formation Stage Experts showed no impatience on their faces and stood aside respectfully.
A long while later.
The old man on the left inhaled the mist lingering around his body and slowly opened his eyes, “You two haven’t brought the Heavenly Dust Pill back?”
“We plead for forgiveness, martial uncle, that day the Sky Fiend Demon Lord was desperate and ruined the Spirit Pill.”
“Hm, tell me more about the situation at the time.”
“Yes, martial uncle.” Compared with Ouyang Qin, who was cold and proud, Taibai Sword Immortal was more adept at speaking. He immediately narrated the scene in Kuiyin Mountains as detailed as possible to the old man.
“What, was the Extreme Demon Venerable also there?” Although the previous part was also quite dangerous, the old man’s expression had always been very dull. It was not until he heard of the Extreme Demon Venerable did this master of the Nascent Soul Stage become shocked, “Was it really him, are you not mistaken?”
“Martial uncle, the Extreme Demon Venerable’s appearance was different from the portrait, and his cultivation base was only at about the Core Formation Middle-Stage, but the Sky Fiend Demon Lord said so. Moreover, the Blood Demon Ancestor took him as his leader, he was also able to use the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.”
“He was able to use the Ten Thousand Soul Banner” The old Taoist pondered for a moment, “In that case,, it seems to be true, after all, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator’s Natal Magic Artifact is something only they can use, please continue…”
About half an hour later.
“That’s what happened. My junior sister and I failed to retrieve the Heavenly Dust Pill. Martial uncle, please punish us. “
“No matter, since that old monster came personally, even if it was only a soul possession, it’s not something you can contend with. This was my negligence, you don’t have to blame yourself.” The old man sighed, and his expression was kind.
“Thank you, martial uncle!”
“You can go now.”
‘Yes!’
Taibai Sword Immortal and Ouyang Qin bowed and returned outside respectfully.
“Junior brother Zhao, isn’t this matter quite strange? We old people have secretly discussed that we’d not be personally involved in the snatching of the Heavenly Dust Pill. And in order to contain each other, we were obviously playing chess together. How did the Extreme Demon Venerable separate from us and go to the Kuiyin Mountains?”
The old man in the green robe opened his eyes, he frowned, and he began to groan. Suddenly, his expression changed, and there was a hint of alarm.
This expression appeared on a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. It was really unbelievable. The old Taoist was also very surprised, “What’s wrong? Junior brother, what did you think of?”
“Senior brother, we were playing against the Extreme Demon Venerable, is it absolutely impossible to be an imposter?”
“Nonsense. You and me, plus the two old monsters of Thunder Cloud Mountain and the Yixian, are all existences of the Nascent Soul Stage. If it’s true or not, how can we not see it? “The old Taoist was displeased.
“Senior brother, this isn’t what I meant,” The old man in the green robe sighed, “You believe that the Extreme Demon Venerable was with us, but that kid Zhang Taibai said that he was also in the Kuiyin Mountains. Although his appearance was different, he was able to use that Magic Artifact, which is his treasure. What does this mean? Can’t you think of anything? “
“You mean…” The old Taoist was dumbfounded and seemed to be taken aback by his guess. He then immediately raised his voice, “Impossible, do you mean that this old demon has refined a second soul?”
“Nothing is impossible,” The expression of the old man in the green robe was much calmer, “Unlike us Righteous Path old guys who are only wandering around the Nascent Soul Initial Stage, and the old demon has already entered the Middle-Stage. The Cultivation Technique of Demonic Cultivators is quite different. Even if that old monster had refined a second soul, it wouldn’t be unreasonable.”
The old Taoist was silent, although, in his heart, he was unwilling, he had to admit that the talent of the Extreme Demon Venerable far exceeded his own.
His expression became serious, “If that’s true, then it will be very troublesome. A second soul, in our Cultivation World of You Prefecture, no one has ever practiced this strange technique for the past thousands of years. Is the Demonic Path really on the rise?”
“Senior brother, you don’t have to worry too much,” The old man in green robe smiled slightly, “From Zhang Taibai’s description, the Extreme Demon Venerable’s second soul is only at the Core Formation Stage, its cultivation base is not very high. Senior brother, as you know, it’s very difficult for the second soul to condense a Nascent Soul, as it is several times more difficult than the first Nascent Soul, and if it fails, even the first soul will be greatly damaged, that old demon would not dare to make an attempt. Although his talent is high, he shouldn’t have any hope in making both of his two souls reach the Nascent Soul Stage. “
“Even if this is the case, with the help of the second soul, the cultivation base of the old demon will also rise,” The old Taoist was still worried, “Although his second soul is just at the Core Formation Stage, the strength of the old demon is by no means simply a Nascent Soul Stage plus a Core Formation Stage.”
“Of course I know, otherwise the second soul would not be one of the most powerful techniques of Nascent Soul cultivators, but so what? Demonic Dao only has him at the Nascent Soul Stage. But there are four of us, which is completely enough to suppress him, it’s just…”Speaking of this, the old man in the green robe showed a trace of regret, “Originally, this I was lucky enough to succeed in achieving the Nascent Soul Stage, plus, senior brother, the Blue Cloud Mountain has two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Although Yixian Valley and the Thunder Cloud Mountain are still ranked as part of the Big Three, in fact, our strength has far exceeded them, if we were given a hundred…no, fifty years, we could have unified the Righteous Path and dominated You Prefecture, but now…”
“It is true that time waits for no one,” The old Taoist also sighed, “The Demonic Path is now gaining momentum, and the Demonic Cultivators are quite eager to move, plus the ambitious Extreme Demon Venerable, we can only temporarily put down the expansion plan and cooperate with the other forces.”
“Hmph, it’s not only the Extreme Demon Venerable who’s ambitious, haven’t you thought about Spirit Pill Mountain?” The old man in the green robe showed a sneer on his face.
