243: Demonic Cattail Resurrection

In the depths of the ancient hall, Chu Jiang sat quietly under the faint light, resources taken from his Storage Pouch scattered before him.

He slightly parted his lips, placing the Dragon Blood Pill in his mouth, closing his eyes, and focusing his mind to begin refining the immense power contained within it.

【Year 1: You refined a Fourth-Grade Dragon Blood Pill, advancing to Faxiang Eighth Stage. You comprehended a trace of Dragon Soul from the Dragon Blood Pill, and your strength surged to seven hundred elephant power.】

【Year 2: You refined thirteen Third-Grade Spirit Medicine, and you advanced to Faxiang Ninth Stage.】

【Demon Lifespan: Nine hundred ninety-eight years】

【Own Lifespan: Two thousand years】

… …

“It’s truly rare for my own Lifespan to exceed the demon life essence!”

Chu Jiang thought to himself.

And that Earth-Grade Tenth Stage Sand Heavenly Monarch, he hoped that he would bring more demons over. This Divine Ability truly is a big consumer of Lifespan.

All the Lifespan he painstakingly acquired was used up.

He was not in a hurry to leave, instead, he sat here to meditate and adjust for a while.

… …

On the other side, Fu Yunxuan was undergoing earth-shattering changes.

Her Aura soared again.

Her skin was like pristine white snow, and her short hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall, swaying gently like willow branches with her movements, her temperament becoming even more cold and proud.

A green leaf emitted rays of light, merging into her body, suppressing the chaotic Qi within her.

“You now possess the Calamity Poison Body. This Physique has been meticulously optimized by several generations of poison women, yet it still retains some flaws.”

“Your current Lifespan is only one-third of an ordinary person’s. You can only rapidly increase your strength and maintain your vitality by continuously consuming poisons.”

“As toxins continuously accumulate, every so often, you will suffer the torment of ten thousand poisons gnawing at your body!”

“Historically, there have also been poison women who could not bear such pain and chose to commit suicide to escape!”

After all, there is gain and loss.

The path to rapid strengthening often requires a huge price.

“You must not consume toxins far exceeding your current Physique, otherwise it will accelerate the onset of the Calamity Poison Body and the pain will double!”

The Jianmu Divine Tree reminded her. It was not that he was being long-winded, but rather that ordinary people often found it difficult to resist the temptation of such a rapidly strengthening Physique.

Thereby inviting disaster.

“Junior understands. You already informed me of these matters before I accepted the Legacy!”

Fu Yunxuan said. This was the third time the Jianmu Divine Tree had reminded her, and she had long since committed it to memory.

“Senior, please do not inform my Lord of this matter!” Fu Yunxuan’s eyes flickered as she earnestly pleaded. She did not want her choice to cause worry to her Lord.

“Understood!”

The Jianmu Divine Tree nodded. He understood Fu Yunxuan’s actions and respected her choice.

… …

Not far from the Enan Forbidden Land.

“First-Grade Sand Jasper!” A Divine Power Realm expert, leading several Golden Core Realm Cultivators, seemed to have discovered a Sand Jasper mine and immediately became extremely excited.

“Nine Nether Grass!” Yu Hualing, Valley Master, leading two Elders, looked at the Spirit Medicine before her with a look of covetousness. This Nine Nether Grass was almost about to advance to Third-Grade.

“This Small Drill Wind Stone, I discovered it first!”

This area seemed to contain a large amount of Heaven And Earth Treasure. For a time, all the Cultivators were excited, wishing they could dig up all the treasures here.

However, just as everyone was immersed in the joy of a bountiful harvest of treasures, underground, countless roots silently emerged.

“Ah—” A Golden Core Realm Cultivator suddenly let out a scream. He was directly pierced through by a root as thick as a bowl.

“Pfft!”

The root instantly absorbed all the essence of this Cultivator, and then sought a new target again.

“Die!”

The irritable man roared furiously, and the Low Grade Spiritual Artifact in his hand directly struck at the root. As a result, the Low Grade Spiritual Artifact was directly shattered, the root had no mark at all, and instead, the root pierced through his chest.

“Uh…should…”

The irritable man’s eyes widened in anger, and his entire body instantly turned into a dried corpse.

It was simply a blood-sucking demon.

“What the hell is this?” Seeing this, everyone felt their hair stand on end.

“Pfft pfft pfft…”

Roots emerged from the ground, attacking all the Cultivators on the surface.

“Kill!”

The Red-Robed Youth attacked, his Aura surging, and his Black Dragon Fist shattered roots one by one. But these roots had extremely vigorous vitality; even if crushed, they could grow again.

“This is the Aura of the Demon Pú Tree!”

The Red-Robed Youth’s eyes widened, but why was it so different from the Demon Root of the Demon Pú Tree recorded in ancient texts? This place was not suitable to stay for long.

The third layer, it’s going to change.

In this area, Cultivators were constantly falling victim, and the range of the root attacks was continuously expanding, with the screams of Cultivators never ceasing.

Only experts above Divine Power Seventh Stage could barely resist.

Among them, the strongest was Wang Xuance.

A mysterious Faxiang rose behind him. Wherever it swept, even the Demon Root had to retreat three steps.

… …

Inside the ancient hall.

Chu Jiang looked at Fu Yunxuan, his eyes a little surprised. In such a short time, she had actually advanced four more stages, reaching the Divine Power Seventh Stage Realm.

Clearly, this was due to obtaining a powerful Legacy from the Jianmu Divine Tree.

As for Wang Chao, he also broke through to Golden Core First Stage, Zhao Hu broke through to Peerless Grandmaster Peak, and Ma Han broke through to Peerless Grandmaster Late Stage, just one step away from the Transcendent Realm.

These were the Opportunities of his subordinates, and he would not delve into them.

Just then, the Jianmu Divine Tree’s expression changed.

“Little friend, the Demon Pú Tree has probably sensed danger and is about to counterattack!”

“My time can only last for another hour!”

The Jianmu Divine Tree said solemnly. The Demon Pú Tree was struggling with him for control.

Chu Jiang nodded.

With a wave of his hands, the Faxiang Realm Flowing Silver Puppet appeared before everyone.

“Escort them out of the Tai Xuan Secret Realm!”

He then ordered.

The Flowing Silver Puppet nodded. As a Faxiang Realm Puppet, it already possessed simple sentience.

He then threw a Storage Pouch to Fu Yunxuan.

“Here are some Cultivation resources, and a large amount of Demon Refining Liquid. Take them back to the Demon Suppression Division to enhance their strength!”

Chu Jiang said. This was obtained from slaying tens of thousands of demons, enough to increase the power of the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division by more than ten times its original strength.

“Lord, do you… have confidence?”

Fu Yunxuan’s beautiful eyes slightly darkened, revealing a hint of worry. It sounded a bit like he was giving his last wishes.

Chu Jiang smiled, gently caressing her hair, and said:

“What are you talking about? Since your Lord debuted, when have I ever been defeated? Before the Secret Realm closes, I will deal with him and rendezvous with you all!”

Hearing these words, Fu Yunxuan finally smiled. In the end, she said nothing more and silently left. She understood her Lord.

No need for further words.

If she stayed here, she would only become a burden to Chu Jiang. She only regretted her insufficient strength, unable to accompany her Lord in battle.

Next time.

Xuan’er will no longer let you face it alone.

A gentle breeze swept through.

The Jianmu Divine Tree once again transformed a small boat in his hand, carrying everyone out of his inner world.

… …

“Time is pressing. I have only condensed two Lifebound Divine Leaves. Next, I will fight to the death to buy you that last bit of time!”

The Jianmu Divine Tree’s face was as pale as paper. While struggling to contend with the Demon Pú Tree, he desperately condensed Lifebound Divine Leaves. His current state was terrible.

Even his inner world began to fall apart.

It wouldn’t have been so fast originally, but the Lifebound Divine Leaves carried his Origin power. Each one condensed accelerated the decay of his remaining body.

“Please…”

The Jianmu Divine Tree let out his final cry. This Incarnation also slowly dissipated like a candle in the wind. A semi-virtualized Lifebound Divine Leaf fell into Chu Jiang’s hand.

It was his final gift.

“Senior… Rest in peace!”

Chu Jiang gazed at the Jianmu Divine Tree, truly leaving no room for himself.

He then looked at the three Lifebound Divine Leaves in his hand.

… …
