152: Chapter 152 Transformation, Infiltration

An overwhelming, mountain-toppling spiritual energy erupted fiercely from Luo Jiao, and an illusory Dao Domain materialized around him, tightly enveloping him at its core. Within the Dao Domain, countless heavenly yao shrieked miserably, unleashing terrifying roars in all directions.

To the side, the Demon Turtle slammed its massive claw onto the ground, causing a dense earth spiritual energy to surge around its body. Strange patterns on its shell glowed with spiritual light, as if an undersea world filled its back. This was also the Demon Turtle's Nascent Soul Dao Domain, except it had attached the Dao Domain to its shell.

With Zhao Feng's soft whisper, the sky-blocking Buddha Power of Little Spirit Mountain transformed into a wave capable of destroying heaven and earth. The essence of this power was even more peculiar, feeling more active and containing far vaster energy. In particular, it held an incomparably powerful Mental Energy, which was much more Advanced compared to spiritual energy.

Faced with the pressure of the entire space, the Demon Turtle popped like a bubble, completely powerless to fight back. The surging earth spiritual energy was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot before such power.

"You are a Buddhist Practitioner! The power of immortals and Buddhas! It's the power of immortals and Buddhas!" Watching the Demon Turtle perish, Luo Jiao grew even more frenzied. Seeing that his Dao Domain was also on the verge of shattering, he opened his mouth and spat out a spinning bead.

The bead gleamed with a sapphire blue color, looking extraordinarily beautiful.

This was a Yao core, containing the power of the Three Primes—the Primordial Spirit, Primordial Body, and Nascent Soul—of a Body Integration Stage cultivator. It was a perfect integration of essence, qi, and spirit. As long as it underwent the Fusion of the Nine-Nine Great Heavenly Tribulation, it could achieve the true unification of essence, qi, and spirit, thereby reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm that transcends the mortal world.

The Yao core contained his lifetime of vast demonic power and Mental Energy, as well as his comprehension of the world. It was the strongest method of a Body Integration Stage Yao cultivator.

The Yao core suspended in the air, radiating tens of thousands of rays of light. These rays then cast down thousands of blue qi streams, forming the most powerful, real Dao Domain of the Body Integration Stage. Within the Dao Domain, Luo Jiao once again transformed into his flood dragon body, with an ancient small bell hovering above his head to form a second line of defense.

"So what if it's a power that transcends the mortal world? Our Yao Race could destroy Little Spirit Mountain once, and we can do it a second time!"

The beautiful woman that Zhao Feng had transformed into showed neither sorrow nor joy. Pointing a finger, the Buddha Power in the space condensed into a massive finger, pointing toward him from afar.

"*Pop!*"

The finger tapped lightly on the Yao core. The Yao core, which contained endless mystical power, let out an overloaded cracking sound before shattering into several pieces. A small snake leapt out from the Yao core, but was grazed by the finger and instantly disintegrated.

"*Clang!*"

Losing its master's command, the small bell relied solely on its own spirituality to react. It was flicked away by the finger, while the seemingly formidable Physical Body of the flood dragon was reduced to ashes under that single tap.

Zhao Feng's mind shuddered. Suddenly, he found the space before him shifting, and he reappeared in mid-air. Looking at the distant scenery, it was indeed the place where the Cloud-Thunder Grand Array was laid in ambush.

"*Screech!*"

The Golden-Winged Roc let out a pleasant cry, then shrank to the size of a sparrow and perched on his shoulder. A few of its feathers were ruffled, and it bowed its head to preen them.

Old Daoist Qianyuan looked at Zhao Feng with a complex expression. After a long pause, he said, "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Zhao to be a descendant of the Buddhist sect. Forgive my lack of respect. Only a true Buddhist Practitioner can borrow the power of the golden bodies of the various Buddhas and Bodhisattvas within Little Spirit Mountain. Because of this, Little Spirit Mountain was shattered by two Loose Immortal Yao Saints, and the Buddhist Practitioners were practically wiped out."

He then added, "Today, Fellow Daoist Zhao has caught a glimpse of the wonders of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. You will surely comprehend the Great Dao soon, and the Heavenly Immortal stage is within your reach."

Zhao Feng waved his hands repeatedly and said, "My Aptitude is meager, so I dare not presume to meet your high expectations, Brother Daoist. It was all thanks to your Magic Treasure."

"Since Fellow Daoist Zhao is a descendant of the Buddhist sect, you are naturally irreconcilable with the Yao Race and are our natural ally. We will have to rely on you a lot in the future." Daoist Qianyuan cupped his hands and said, "Please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist Zhao. I will first perform some tricks on these remaining corpses."

With that, he waved his sleeve, and a large yellow gourd appeared in his hand.

He uncorked the gourd, and a stream of yellow qi spewed out, landing on the ground and transforming into a large, striped tiger. The tiger bowed to Daoist Qianyuan and spoke in human tongue, "Greetings, Immortal Master."

Daoist Qianyuan whispered a few instructions to the tiger. The tiger turned and left, pausing here and there among the dead monsters. Strangely enough, when Zhao Feng sensed with his Divine Sense, pure Demonic Qi actually appeared on the corpses without a trace of bloodiness—it was precisely the aura of the Pure Demons. This way, whoever saw these corpses would discover that the Pure Demons were involved in this ambush.

In the distant sky, bursts of glowing clouds and dark clouds began to appear, gradually drawing closer.

Old Daoist Qianyuan bowed to Zhao Feng and said, "Thanks to your great assistance today, my brothers and I are deeply grateful. Cultivators from all sides are about to arrive, so we shall take our leave now. If you ever visit Linhai City in the Water Nation in the future, please come to our residence for a chat. My brothers and I have a modest reputation; just mention the Six Gentlemen of Linhai, and someone will lead you to our humble abode."

"If there is an opportunity, I will certainly visit," Zhao Feng returned the greeting. As a Great Cultivator of the Body Integration Stage, Daoist Qianyuan had given him plenty of Face, enough to make one feel as comfortable as a spring breeze.

"May the green hills remain unchanged and the green waters flow forever. Take care!" The six of them nodded to Zhao Feng, tore through space, and teleported away.

Trouble would soon brew here, so Zhao Feng did not linger either and left the place.

The grand wedding at White Deer Mountain was no longer happening. Next, he had to go and see if Princess Bailu was indeed Luo Ying. Right then, Zhao Feng landed on the ground and rushed toward White Deer Mountain using the Earth Escape Technique.

Since the news had not yet reached White Deer Mountain, its security would not be too tight at this moment, making it a good time to investigate. The Demon-Slaying Alliance's intelligence on White Deer Mountain was quite detailed. The mountain lord, Old Ancestor White Deer, was a Great Cultivator of the Body Integration Stage. Additionally, there were the Left and Right Generals who were at the Divided Soul Stage, and about a dozen other monsters at the Exit Soul Stage and Nascent Soul Stage.

However, Old Ancestor White Deer was in secluded cultivation all year round, and the Left and Right Generals took turns standing guard. As long as he did not run into such experts, with Zhao Feng's methods, he was not afraid of being discovered.

Although the marriage alliance between the Pure Demons and the Blood Demons seemed highly important, it was not worth Old Ancestor White Deer ending his seclusion, unless an expert of the same level appeared on the Blood Demon side.

However, that Body Integration Stage expert of the Blood Demons would not be showing up. Therefore, Zhao Feng's journey should not pose too much danger, provided he ensured it was before the news reached the high-ranking members of White Deer Mountain.

Because time was short, Zhao Feng rushed toward White Deer Mountain at lightning speed.

Before long, Zhao Feng arrived at the territory of White Deer Mountain. White Deer Mountain was not an isolated mountain, but a branch of the Wuzhi Mountain Range. The Pure Demons of White Deer Mountain resided on the highest peak, White Deer Peak.

What a spiritual peak shrouded in misty Immortal Qi! The mountain was bathed in colorful lights and thousands of auspicious rays. Towering ancient trees reached into the clouds, and the fragrance of spiritual flowers and immortal herbs filled the air. Beasts strolled leisurely, and birds sang joyfully.

Zhao Feng sighed in admiration, but he also immediately expanded his God Domain, taking control of the land of White Deer Mountain so that he could escape quickly if he encountered danger. There was no mountain-protecting grand array here, which made his infiltration convenient.

Closing all the pores of his body and restraining his Divine Sense and aura, he cautiously made his way up the mountain using the Earth Escape Technique.
