50: Ten thousand souls control the mind

A full hundred years of Demon consumed, yet not even a single acupoint could be fused, nor was there even a trace of signs of Fusion.

That acupoint was like a great mountain; no matter how much True Qi was driven to fuse it, it remained motionless.

Li Jiangchen had a faint premonition that even if he consumed all his Demon, it would likely be of no use.

"How could this be?"

Li Jiangchen arrived at the Demon Suppression Division's Scripture Pavilion and began to flip through the Aperture Opening Realm classics.

Half a day later, the withered yellow books had piled up into a small mountain.

Finally, he made a discovery in an Incomplete Manual.

It turned out that for Martial Artists with more acupoints opened and a deeper Foundation, the acupoints would gradually solidify, causing the difficulty of Aperture Convergence to soar.

However, the end of the scroll mentioned that the wood demon lineage of Suspended Mountain, which absorbs Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, produces a mellow liquid within their bodies; consuming it can soften acupoints and has wonderful effects for a Martial Artist's Aperture Convergence.

Moreover, the higher the cultivation of the wood demon, the better the quality of the mellow liquid produced in its body.

The highest quality mellow liquid is the supreme sacred mellow liquid produced by the Suspended Mountain Demon Lord, the Great Compassion Tree King.

"Great Compassion Tree King... It seems I must make a trip to this Suspended Mountain."

Li Jiangchen frowned.

In the following days, he began to secretly check the Suspended Mountain dossiers to gather intelligence.

"Suspended Mountain is located at the border of Qing Prefecture and Ding Prefecture. It is made entirely of magnetic rock and can float in the Void Realm. It is shaped like five fingers and is the place where ancient Demons were sealed.

On each finger-shaped mountain Peak, a Demon Lord is entrenched."

Li Jiangchen's gaze swept over the dossier: "The Great Compassion Tree King... is on the thumb-shaped mountain Peak among them."

"Although the Great Compassion Tree King is a Demon Lord, it does not like killing. For over two hundred years, it has never invaded the border."

"Furthermore, when the ancient Demons previously broke free, the Great Compassion Tree King's Incarnation walked through the Great Shang Dynasty, actively inviting Human Race God Viewing Realm existences to join forces and Seal the chaos caused by the ancient Demons of other Inverted Mountains."

"Looking at it this way, this Demon's temper is actually not bad."

Li Jiangchen felt a little pleased.

"However, going to Suspended Mountain this time might lead to encountering remaining ancient Demons. It is best to wait until the Ancient Spirit wakes up."

"Taking advantage of this time, I will first Cultivate the Four Heavenly Absolutes of Chaos to the Peak."

Li Jiangchen closed his eyes, consumed Demon again, and began to Cultivate the Four Heavenly Absolutes of Chaos.

Several days later.

In the courtyard.

Li Jiangchen pointed a finger out. His fingertip flashed with four colors—cyan, blue, yellow, and red—finally transforming into a grayish Sword Qi that landed on a huge cyan boulder.

Instantly, the Sword Qi submerged into it, and the huge cyan boulder showed no change.

A breeze blew by, and the huge cyan boulder seemed to have been eroded by a thousand years of time, turning into dust bit by bit and disappearing before his eyes.

"It is worthy of being a God Viewing Realm sword technique; its power is a hundred times greater than Chan Meditation.

It was worth spending a thousand years of Demon to finally succeed in the Fusion.

Below the Demon Lord level, all can be killed with one Move."

Li Jiangchen smiled.

The Four Heavenly Absolutes of Chaos, although each unique skill is only a Quenching Fiend Realm Move, can be attempted to be fused once all four are Cultivated to Perfection.

The Fusion is the most difficult.

These four belong to fist, palm, finger, and sword.

Among them, the sword is the main one, and the other three are auxiliary; the Fusion is the most difficult.

This is because the other three are all bare-handed martial arts, while only the sword is a weapon.

Past Biyou Palace Masters often only managed to master it after breaking through to the God Viewing Realm, relying on powerful Mental Energy.

Among them, ninety-nine percent used bare-handed techniques to fuse with the sword Move.

According to records, only the first Ancestral Master and the sixth Palace Master of Biyou Palace used the sword to fuse the other three unique skills.

The more difficult it is, the greater the reward.

The power of the Four Heavenly Absolutes of Chaos sword Move, according to the description, is among the top tier of God Viewing Realm martial arts, comparable to a Divine Ability.

At this moment, there was movement from the Demon Kingdom.

"Finally awakened, have you..."

Li Jiangchen opened the Demon Kingdom, and a wisp of black Qi flew out, transforming into a delicate young girl.

"Greetings, Master," Gu Ling said prettily.

Li Jiangchen's Spiritual Sense swept over her, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "Demon Lord... I didn't expect you to break through to the Demon Lord level in one breath."

"Hehe, I must thank Master for killing the two ancient Demon Lord Demons. Subordinate devoured their souls and the accumulation of life and death Qi, which is why I could reach the Demon Lord Realm in one go.

Moreover, a Peerless Grade Dao technique called Ten Thousand soul Mind Control appeared in my mind."

"Ten Thousand soul Mind Control? A Divine Soul type Dao technique?"

Seeing Li Jiangchen's confused expression, Gu Ling stuck out her pink tongue, giggled, and shot out countless Soul Threads from her fingertips that were invisible to the naked eye, precisely landing on the ground.

The next moment, countless ants, crickets, and centipedes formed neat queues and marched on the ground.

"Ten Thousand soul Mind Control is not as good as Master's Demon Kingdom. Currently, I can only capture two Demon Lord souls.

Of course, once the soul capture is successful, I can obtain two servants, who will be at my beck and call and will not fear death," Gu Ling introduced.

"Mm, with you taking action, the chances of success for this trip to Suspended Mountain have increased by several folds." Li Jiangchen explained the reasons.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ling immediately puffed out her chest and patted it, saying: "Master, please rest assured. Subordinate will definitely help you get that supreme sacred mellow liquid."

"I hope everything goes smoothly."

Several days later.

Qing Prefecture border.

Five towering, Suspended Mountain ranges pierced straight into the clouds, filled with Demonic Qi, and countless birds flew out from them.

"This is Suspended Mountain."

Li Jiangchen looked up at the sky. The five finger-like mountain ranges came into view, with an invisible force field circulating—it was exactly that Magnetic Force.

"Must find a way to sneak in."

An incense stick of time later, a three-zhang-large white-feathered crane let out a strange cry, passed through the thick clouds, and headed straight for the thumb-shaped Suspended Mountain.

On the back of the crane, Li Jiangchen activated the Spirit Descending Sword Flood Dragon Transformation; dragon horns grew on his forehead, a dragon tail swayed behind him, and his whole body was permeated with Demonic Qi.

"This soul Control Dao technique of yours is really good. Using it to enslave these low-intelligence Demons is simply effortless," Li Jiangchen praised.

"Hehe, that is natural," Gu Ling said proudly.

A moment later, the crane flew higher and higher, suddenly passing through the thick clouds to arrive above the sea of clouds. He saw a towering giant tree covering the entire Suspended Mountain, its emerald green canopy blotting out the sky and sun.

"The Great Compassion Tree King is rumored to be a seed that fell from an extraterrestrial spirit tree, drifted to Suspended Mountain, germinated, and grew. After countless years, it developed intelligence and Cultivated to its current state," Li Jiangchen sighed: "This aura, at the Demon Lord level, is probably a top-tier existence."

Caw—

The crane flapped its wings violently, its speed increased, and it landed towards that Inverted Mountain.

An hour later, Li Jiangchen jumped off the crane's back, opened his Spiritual Sense, and immediately, the scene of several wood demons playing appeared in his mind.

Under the protection of the Great Compassion Tree King, unlike the killing and bloodiness of the other four Suspended Mountains, the aura of the wood demons here was pure; it would not be an exaggeration to call them spirits of vegetation.

Under his Spiritual Sense observation, this group of wood demons had bright red petal-shaped hats on their heads, were entirely emerald green, and had humanoid forms; they were clearly of the same clan.

Following the trail, his Spiritual Sense seeped into a tree hole. He saw a wood demon with white whiskers reclining on a vine seat in the tree hole, its aura the strongest, reaching the Great Demon level.

"It is you..."

Li Jiangchen flashed repeatedly, appearing abruptly in the tree hole.

The Demon Kingdom opened, Gu Ling flew out, and a barely perceptible Soul Thread shot out, inserting into the center of the Great Demon's eyebrows before it could react.

In an instant, the Great Demon's eyes softened, and it knelt on one knee, saying: "Greetings, two honorable envoys."
