Six-Limb studied
"This Eye of the Ferocious Cilie Beast is a treasure I obtained in years past. Unfortunately, its nature conflicts greatly with my own cultivation technique, so it cannot be merged into my body. I could only refine it into a soul-seizing treasure of unusual power." Six-Limb spoke with a hint of regret.
"Brother Six-Limb! This boy's cultivation isn't high, but his abilities are quite peculiar. Are you truly certain you've brought him under control? Fellow Daoist Mu and I gave up the treasures in the Demon Tomb at great cost — we certainly don't want any mishaps now." The white-haired beauty looked at
"Fellow Daoist Lan, rest easy. What manner of existence is the Cilie Beast? It is a True Spirit on par with an authentic dragon. A soul-seizing treasure refined from its Eye of Destruction — to say nothing of a Deity Transformation cultivator, even beings like you and I, once this bead pins the soul and spirit, would have no choice but to submit obediently. If Fellow Daoist doesn't believe me, you're welcome to experience the bead's power firsthand." Six-Limb spoke with extraordinary confidence.
"If you say so, Brother, how could the two of us doubt it? It's just that I still feel it's such a waste. Fellow Daoist Lan and I both made extensive preparations for the treasures in the Demon Tomb. Now all of it has gone to waste." Mu Qing sighed and gave a bitter smile.
"So-called Demon Tomb — it's nothing more than a place where several extraplanar devils accidentally tore through the void and invaded the Nether River domain in ancient times. They were slain by the elders of the Mayfly Race working together and buried on the spot. Those extraplanar demons do possess some inconceivable abilities, but the treasures you speak of are merely certain special parts of their corpses that have developed spiritual awareness after being nourished by yin energy for so many years. Such treasures may have their uses, but how can they compare to the Divine Milk? Don't forget — once you consume the Divine Milk and anoint your entire body with it, your flesh will instantly become a Spirit-Attuned Body, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth you can control afterward will be amplified several times over. With that, achieving the Dao and becoming True Spirits is no longer mere fantasy. If fortune favors us, there may even be a real chance of ascending to the
"I understand all of this without needing you to explain, Brother. But one of the treasures in the Demon Tomb is extremely important to me. Otherwise, why would I have gone to such lengths to win over young Han?" Mu Qing still sounded somewhat helpless.
"Regardless of how important that treasure is to Fellow Daoist Mu, if we want to seize the treasure before the Mayfly Race reinforcements arrive, we must employ some special measures to break through the restrictions quickly and lure the Nether Thunder Beast away. Unless Fellow Daoist Mu would rather have the treasure from the Demon Tomb and give up the Divine Milk?" Six-Limb looked at Mu Qing and his tone turned cold.
"The Divine Milk — I certainly won't give it up! I'll just have to choose the lesser of two evils." Mu Qing finally made up her mind.
"That's the right choice. Besides, having young Han lure the Nether Thunder Beast away doesn't necessarily mean he'll die for certain. If by some stroke of luck he survives, Fellow Daoist Mu can still go retrieve the treasure from the Demon Tomb later." One of the blood-robed men also chuckled.
"Hmph! That Nether Thunder Beast is ferocious beyond measure. If he can escape with his life from that creature's jaws, he'd truly be blessed with extraordinary fortune. But Blood Elder, we only agreed to restrain young Han — why did you also subdue those two girls under Fellow Daoist Lan's charge?" Mu Qing snorted, then swept her gaze toward
"Junior Sister Mu, don't be surprised. I sent a voice transmission instructing Fellow Daoist Blood to capture those two girls. That boy is no longer useful anyway. If we let those two run about freely, they could cause trouble. The pure yin energy in their bodies will be quite helpful for my refinement of the Divine Milk." The white-haired beauty said dismissively.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qing fell silent.
"Since everyone has been subdued, we proceed according to plan. We'll combine our efforts to break through the restrictions first, then control young Han and have him release the Evil-Dispelling Divine Thunder to lure that Nether Thunder Beast away from the Divine Pool. That way, we can obtain the Divine Milk without difficulty." Six-Limb said.
"That Nether Thunder Beast is no ordinary creature. Can the Evil-Dispelling Divine Thunder really lure it away? We'd better not try to catch the chicken only to end up losing the rice!" The white-haired beauty asked cautiously.
"The Nether Thunder Beast has an insatiable appetite for devouring thunder and lightning. The Evil-Dispelling Divine Thunder is one of the Five Great Divine Thunders of the
"If Brother Six-Limb says so, then this old woman is relieved." The beauty nodded, looking somewhat reassured.
"Fellow Daoist Blood, the final Heaven-Reaching Wall will need to be broken by your Purple Blood Puppet." Six-Limb turned to the two blood-robed men and said.
"The whole reason we refined the Purple Blood Puppet was for this very day!" One of the blood-robed men let out a low laugh.
Six-Limb nodded in response.
The group then discussed the details at length for the better part of half an hour. Once they were certain that nothing had been overlooked, they set off with Golden Spirit and the remaining high-ranking demons, flying toward the gray mountain range.
A distance of over a hundred li was naturally traversed in the blink of an eye for these demon kings.
The moment Six-Limb and the others entered the mountain range, their expressions grew solemn. They constantly glanced left and right, each one extremely cautious.
Yet this stretch of the journey went remarkably smoothly.
Not only were there no powerful ghostly entities to speak of, the party didn't even encounter a single wisp of a yin spirit.
After an hour, they had crossed nearly half of the gray mountain range. Ahead, the view suddenly opened up, revealing an enormous basin.
The basin stretched dozens of li across at first glance, surrounded on all sides by rolling gray hills. At its very center, a curtain of dark, blackish light covered the area. The barrier was pitch-black to the extreme, making it utterly impossible to peer through and discern what lay within.
