166: The immortal city is forming a pill, and monsters are coming! (Subscribe)

Five Elements Immortal City, late at night.

One large and one small moon hung high in the sky.

Qingyue Peak, inside the Evil Cave.

Shi Chuan, who had adjusted his state to Perfection, waited until zi shi (11 pm - 1 am) for the intelligence to be re-sorted.

【zi shi (11 pm - 1 am) has arrived】

【Successfully triggered keywords】

【Granted a piece of Fourth-Tier intelligence】

【Fourth-Tier intelligence: In the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range, besides Ge Long, an Early Stage Nascent Soul demon Cultivator on Jade Dragon Mountain, Lady Baihua, an Early Stage Nascent Soul demon Cultivator in Qiankun Cave, also has a demon servant mark from a former Nascent Soul Immortal Sect within her Bloodline.】

...

Although the intelligence was brief, it was good news.

It was possible to subdue another Early Stage Nascent Soul demon servant.

In the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range, Nascent Soul Stage demon servants, apart from Middle Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators, could not be suppressed by any other demon cultivators; they were the top combat power in the entire Hunting Ground.

Increasing the number of demon servants by one would also be excellent.

Moreover, every area occupied by a Nascent Soul stage demon cultivator was blessed with Luck.

Re-sorting intelligence of Fifth-Tier and above required consuming Luck, and the amount of Luck consumed for each Soul Transformation intelligence was still an unknown to Shi Chuan.

Regardless, the more Luck, the better.

His own plans for Luck would also put him at odds with the Twin Saints Sect.

From the information passed by Wizard Emperor and Qu Linglu, Shi Chuan already knew about the Twin Saints Sect's plan for Luck. As for the ultimate purpose of this Luck...

A few days prior, Shi Chuan had once posted a keyword for intelligence, but this matter involved Fifth-Tier Soul Transformation-level intelligence, requiring the injection of Luck.

Shi Chuan had no intention of using the Luck of Five Elements Immortal City.

The Immortal City was under the jurisdiction of the Twin Saints Sect, and according to the sect's treasure, they could detect large-scale Luck fluctuations within the Hunting Ground.

Once the Immortal City's Luck was used, the Twin Saints Sect would definitely know, and alarming the Nascent Soul old monster in the sect at that time would bring trouble upon himself.

Therefore, Shi Chuan planned that after successfully advancing to Core Formation Stage, he would make a trip to Jade Dragon Mountain and inject all the Luck accumulated by Jade Dragon Mountain over the years into the intelligence concerning the Twin Saints Sect's Luck.

He wanted to see if he could unearth this Fifth-Tier intelligence about the Twin Saints Sect.

"Charge for Core Formation!"

Inside the Evil Cave.

Shi Chuan's expression was firm as he closed his eyes and calmed his mind.

He focused on mobilizing the three top-grade Law Seeds within his body, preparing for the three Law Seeds to merge into one.

With the Crimson God Art of the Red God Sect advancing from Second Revolution to Third Revolution Core Formation, the moment the three Law Seeds merged into one, there was nearly a 60% or higher chance of success, coupled with the assistance of dozens of various Core Formation spiritual items.

Such a luxurious Core Formation process was probably unmatched in the entire Qi Country's Hunting Ground.

The Law Seed Fusion was also very harmonious, without any rejection, and the entire process flowed smoothly.

Outside the cave.

Wan Lixuan, holding a Formation Plate, began to activate the Immortal City's Formation Plate with his magical power, mobilizing a large amount of Spiritual Qi within the city to gather around Qingyue Peak, raising the Spiritual Qi concentration of Qingyue Peak to Third-Tier high-grade and above.

Wizard Emperor performed a secret art, pouring out a mountain of Spirit Stones from his Storage Pouch, scattering them outside the Evil Cave.

These Spirit Stones were all accumulated by Jade Dragon Mountain over the years through frugality, intended to assist in Breakthrough when attempting to reach Middle Nascent Soul Stage, but now they all benefited Shi Chuan.

Under the massive Spiritual Qi emitted by the Spirit Stones, the Spiritual Qi concentration around the Evil Cave of Qingyue Peak temporarily increased to Fourth-Tier.

...

...

The next day.

Five Elements Immortal City.

Above Qingyue Peak, a Spiritual Qi vortex covering an area of over ten li hung upside down in the sky, with five-colored light illuminating more than half of the Immortal City.

Many Cultivator pedestrians on the streets looked up at the sky.

Many Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the outer and inner cities all showed expressions of surprise upon seeing this scene.

Cloud Serpent Pavilion.

Lei Hu, clad in a purple robe and with a robust physique, flew out of the building. Beside him was a Foundation Establishment female Cultivator with long green hair. Both of them looked at the swirling Spiritual Qi vortex in the sky with surprised expressions.

"Such a large-scale Spiritual Qi vortex, I've only seen it once in my life."

"The Cultivator advancing to Core Formation seems to be from Qingyue Peak?"

"Is it City Lord Wan's person?"

"Originally, I thought that with Five Elements Immortal City losing a Core Formation Cultivator to guard it, its ability to deter demon Cultivators would be somewhat diminished, but I didn't expect that soon after City Lord Wan took office, a new Core Formation Cultivator would be born in the Immortal City."

"As expected of a Core Formation Cultivator who can connect with the Twin Saints Sect, he indeed has some means."

"If this newly advanced Core Formation Cultivator were a Cultivator of our Purple Cloud and Jiao Demon Sects, that would be great."

"If we had known earlier that the Sky Wolf Sect would be parachuting in, it would have been better to keep the Yellow Springs Demon Sect to maintain relations in the three sects' territories."

"Then we wouldn't be so passive, with our two sects under the Sky Wolf Sect's restraint, even now."

Lei Hu sighed with emotion.

He had originally thought that by annexing the Yellow Springs Demon Sect, their Purple Cloud and Jiao Demon Sects would use the Yellow Springs Demon Sect's resources to advance another Core Formation Cultivator.

But in the end, they didn't gain much benefit, and instead, the Sky Wolf Sect took advantage.

"Fellow Daoist Lei."

"The range of this person's Core Formation Spiritual Qi vortex is so vast, he's probably going to form a Golden Core!"

"Under such an Aura, it might attract the attention of Core Formation old demons in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range!"

The green-haired Foundation Establishment female Cultivator said with a solemn tone.

After speaking, her crystal eyes looked towards the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range, at the towering, endless mountain ridge.

"It is indeed possible."

"However, with City Lord Wan in charge."

"Unless it's a great demon of Late Core Formation Stage or above, other Core Formation old demons, even if attracted, absolutely cannot attack the city. You and I can rest assured."

Lei Hu comforted her.

"Hmm?"

"They really came!?"

"These old demons move really fast."

After Lei Hu finished speaking, he suddenly frowned and turned to look in the direction of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range.

He could visibly see thick, dark clouds like a black tidal wave on the distant mountain ridge, resembling a Dragon's back, rolling in from the sky. Lei Hu and the other Foundation Establishment Cultivator immediately felt a sense of oppression in their hearts.

"This Aura... is definitely not just one Core Formation Demon Cultivator."

"Fellow Daoist Lei, let's prepare for battle."

Streaks of Devilish Qi flashed in the green-haired Foundation Establishment female Cultivator's eyes, and the black bell hanging at her waist jingled. A black wind swept out, and beside her appeared a Second-Tier Middle Stage Corpse Puppet in a black robe with beast-like claws.

This Corpse Puppet was refined from the Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Yellow Springs Demon Sect who was killed previously.

If Core Formation Demon Cultivators attacked and laid siege to the city.

Once the Immortal City's Formation was activated, the City Lord could conscript them, Foundation Establishment Cultivators, to the city walls to resist external enemies.

This was also one of the powers that Five Elements Immortal City now possessed under the Twin Saints Sect's decree.

If any Foundation Establishment Cultivator dared to resist the City Lord's order, they would be held accountable by the Twin Saints Sect.

And the Twin Saints Sect was the heaven for Human Race Cultivators in the Hunting Ground, so naturally, no Cultivator was tired of living and dared to resist the Twin Saints Sect.

...

Outside the city.

Dozens of li away.

Above the layers of mountains, dark clouds were heavily stacked, making it impossible to see one's hand.

Only a few Cultivators of Middle and Late Foundation Establishment Stage or above who practiced eye techniques could vaguely see three Core Formation Stage demon cultivators—a tiger, a leopard, and a dog—riding on rolling demonic winds through the black clouds, attracted by the Spiritual Qi vortex.

Among them, the tiger demon was the only Middle Core Formation stage demon Cultivator of the three. It had a tiger's head and a human body, holding a massive fire cloud banner over ten zhang in size. The banner fluttered in the wind, making a loud rustling sound.

A powerful fire-elemental spiritual power flew out from the banner, forming a hundred-zhang-long fire Jiao above the heads of the three demons. The Jiao's roar, with its extremely strong penetrating power, echoed between heaven and earth, its Aura overwhelming.
