Chapter 142: Chapter 141: Prison of the Flesh

Jiang Ming would not be mistaken.

Because within him lies the power belonging to the God-Demon List.

Jiang Ming raised his arm.

The Phoenix Spirit sealed on the back of his hand appeared as red cloud patterns.

And the power that restrains the Phoenix Spirit is exactly the power of the God-Demon List, Jiang Ming would not be mistaken, the aura of both is nearly identical.

Jiang Ming continued to focus on the simulation.

…………

In mid-air, the enormous God-Demon List opened.

It was radiating golden light and black light, and it seemed as if countless figures walked out of it, but their faces were indistinguishable.

“No!!!!”

“Don’t think about it!!!!”

“My demon blood, eternal and undying!”

This figure seemed to want to resist again.

In the next second, the figure was about to dissipate.

“I… am… eternal…”

The last low murmur slowly echoed.

A flash of saber light.

A finger was severed, falling towards the ground.

The light-as-feather finger seemed to weigh billions of tons, causing the earth to tremble and break.

The spirit veins were shattered, the landscapes changed, lives were devastated.

And above the firmament, no more anomalies existed.

“Demon Venerable…”

A faint sigh echoed.

In the sky appeared a massive tower, suppressing the severed finger.

The tower absorbed the Earth Spirit Qi, lifting the terrain into high mountains.

Endless spiritual qi surged in from all directions.

The moisture carried by the spiritual qi turned into nine great rivers gushing downward.

The rivers, stained with the power of the tower, were inhospitable to life, yet could gather spiritual qi from all directions.

The once barren land, lacking spiritual energy, gradually transformed into a cultivation paradise dense with spiritual qi…

And many Nascent Soul Cultivators, for unknown reasons, flocked from all directions, settling in this place.

“I… return…”

The last faint voice echoed.

The voice carried unwillingness, excitement, madness, and resentment, causing Ouyang Yun’s skin to crawl.

The surrounding illusions vanished.

Ouyang Yun, residing in the Immortal Slaying Saber, stared blankly at the crystal stone.

Aman’s nascent soul had already merged into the crystal stone.

Something seemed to be incubating within the crystal.

“As expected… a failure after all…”

“Betting and losing, a price must be paid…”

An aged voice was heard from outside.

“Boom——————”

The deafening roar came from the outside, as if countless thunderbolts were striking the tower.

Outside the tower, in mid-air stood a hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators.

If they combined forces, they could overthrow any power below the Divinity Transformation Sect.

Yet now they had to exert all their strength.

“With my lineage’s causality, bear the wish power of all beings.”

“Borrow, the power of reincarnation, question the Dao from the heavens.”

“Accomplish, destiny’s response, seal the demon here.”

The chanting voice echoed.

Ouyang Yun could not see the scene outside.

But he could vaguely sense that the aura of those powerful beings outside was growing weaker.

And the being incubating inside the crystal was becoming more frenzied.

Black energy tendrils began to probe out from the crystal, piercing through the tower, the powerful energy shot skyward, almost shattering this secret realm.

“Bang—”

A fierce white light.

Ouyang Yun couldn’t see anything.

The tower shattered, the crystal disappeared.

The outside Kunmi Mountain Secret Realm had become desolate.

The Immortal Slaying Saber was swept by powerful energy, forcefully breaching the secret realm, flying towards the Nine River Basin.

By this time, the Nine River Basin already had Golden Core Sect appearances.

They were cultivating Nascent Soul legacies.

Nascent Soul cultivators were occasionally appearing there.

The Preaching Envoys from Kunmi Mountain no longer visited the Nine River Basin.

The cultivators of the Nine River Basin carried forward the cultivation techniques from the Preaching Envoys, developing a splendid cultivation civilization in the Nine River Basin…

Awakening!

Ouyang Yun suddenly opened his eyes.

He found himself lying on the ground, right in front of the demon pavilion’s ruins.

He got up, looking around warily.

Decay, desolation, devoid of vitality.

The same as when Ouyang Yun first entered the Kunmi Mountain Secret Realm.

And everything just now seemed like a dream…

No, it’s not!

Ouyang Yun carefully sensed his own cultivation.

He had broken through to the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, and even progressed quite a long way into it.

Checking his storage bag, the resources inside were almost exhausted.

Ouyang Yun’s previous cultivation in the Demon Pavilion was not a lie…

“Lifespan!”

Ouyang Yun carefully sensed his lifespan, finding less than twenty years remaining.

“Damn it!”

Ouyang Yun’s expression changed, he touched his face, realizing his skin had aged.

Ouyang Yun immediately sat down cross-legged and took out the prepared Life-extending Pill.

The Life-extending Pill was rapidly refined, a fresh surge of vitality entered Ouyang Yun’s body, the True Essence nourished his body, and Ouyang Yun’s appearance gradually became younger.

“Illusion Realm?”

“Such a realm… has far exceeded my imagination…” Ouyang Yun refined the Longevity Pill within him, opened his eyes, and sighed.

“I must quickly find the Fake Core Spiritual Object to break through to Fake Core.”

Ouyang Yun pondered briefly, then stood up and walked toward the center of the Demon Pavilion.

In the center of the Demon Pavilion, a tower was utterly ruined.

Around the tower, over two hundred pillars were nailed into the ground.

Within the pillars were lifelike figures of cultivators.

“These are…” Ouyang Yun’s pupils contracted.

The pillars resembled transparent crystal stones, sealing these cultivators as if encased in amber.

The number of pillars precisely matched the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Demon Pavilion.

Behind the pillars were a multitude of figures.

These figures were the reincarnated envoys sent by the Nine Rivers.

At this moment, their aura was profound, with an imperceptible connection to the pillars.

Even more shocking to Ouyang Yun was the mysterious aura emanating from these individuals…

This is… the aura of the Golden Core!

The over two hundred envoys sent into the Secret Realm without exception all possessed the Golden Core aura.

“Wait… what…”

Ouyang Yun’s expression suddenly changed drastically.

The Celestial Demon Heart Devouring Technique within him began to operate madly.

The five great Celestial Demons appeared around Ouyang Yun, but instantly disintegrated into powder.

The over two hundred new Golden Core cultivators simultaneously opened their eyes.

Golden light radiated from their eyes.

They simultaneously looked toward Ouyang Yun.

“Who is this?!”

“Aside from us, there’s still someone else here…”

“Another ploy by the Demon Venerable?”

“Kill him!”

“I can feel the agitation of the Demon Venerable’s remains!”

The expressions of the Golden Core Venerables gradually turned cold.

Ouyang Yun couldn’t care less about these, clutching his head with both hands, his expression a bit twisted as he fell to the ground…

………

Jiang Ming’s expression also changed.

This kind of…

Again?! Does it never end?

If it weren’t for the lackluster aptitude, unable to stand out without training in the Celestial Demon Heart Devouring Technique, he would never have let Ouyang Yun train in it.

Although Jiang Ming had anticipated this situation, he still couldn’t help but curse when it truly occurred.

Next time, if the talent is outstanding, he would definitely not use the low-grade version of a cultivation accelerator like the Celestial Demon Heart Devouring Technique.

But to be honest, it’s all because this was a simulation, and Jiang Ming had enough leeway to gamble.

If it were reality, Jiang Ming would definitely not cultivate in… wait, it seems he had already cultivated this method…

Jiang Ming’s expression froze again, looking at the golden text.

It seems… there’s yet another change…

………

“Ah!!” Ouyang Yun’s expression was hideous, with some pain in his eyes.

Suddenly, a figure came before him, gently embracing him.

It was Sha Miaomiao.

Sha Miaomiao’s eyes held a look of pity.

But when she raised her head, her eyes were full of menace.

“Who dares harm him, I’ll kill them!”

“Enough! Sha Miaomiao, this person has stirred the residual remains of the Demon Venerable. To act out of selfish desire…” someone began to speak but was cut off by a grunt. His body sank as the earth slowly swallowed him.

Looking at him, Sha Miaomiao had already extended a hand, forming a seal, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

Ye Lingtian frowned slightly. He seemed to recall the pill Ouyang Yun had refined for him, sighed softly, and stood beside Sha Miaomiao.

“Everyone, if this person truly…”

But before Ye Lingtian finished speaking.

The world changed its colors.

More than two hundred stone pillars began to glow.

A ghostly light suddenly emerged from the void, then shot into Ouyang Yun’s abdomen.

Within Ouyang Yun’s eyes flashed a trace of demonic qi, but it quickly dissipated.

The Celestial Demon Heart Devouring Technique actually absorbed this trace of demonic qi.

Ouyang Yun’s aura surged.

Foundation Establishment Perfection… Fake Core!

“Attack!”

As soon as the aura on Ouyang Yun became volatile, all the reincarnated envoys erupted simultaneously, casting various divine techniques and spells towards Ouyang Yun, aiming to annihilate him.

Sha Miaomiao gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and embraced Ouyang Yun tightly.

The earth around them flashed with countless dust particles, enveloping the two.

Even though only a dozen people attacked, the force was beyond what Sha Miaomiao could bear alone.

“Wait!” A Tai Chi Bagua appeared, shielding them from most of the power.

“The Demon Venerable’s power… has been strengthened and sealed…”

“It’s not a bad thing…”

A young man in white clothes approached, his eyes slightly revealing the black and white Yin Yang Fish.

“The power leaked by the Demon Venerable dates back seven thousand years ago…”

“Fake Core? Incredible, the remains of the Demon Venerable can actually be refined as a Fake Core… and such a method can surpass our several thousand years of planning as Nine Rivers cultivators…”

The young man in white murmured.

“Daoist Zhang.”

“Yes.”

A young Taoist priestess with long green hair walked forward.

Forming a seal with her hand, she summoned a green light sphere to heal the two.

Another person stepped forward, continuously forming seals with his hands, his expression constantly changing.

“Using the body as a cage, imprisoning the Demon Venerable… this method is feasible.”

“Esteemed Daoists, may I know where you obtained this unique technique?”

The reincarnated envoys dropped all hostility, instead curiously gazing at the two.
