Chapter 499: Chapter 108: Great Harvest, Secret Realm Journey Achieves Perfection

Seeing all his fellow senior brothers meet their end at Zhou Xun’s hands, Old Demon Yulu couldn’t help but reveal a look of despair.

Back then, with the Blood Demon Child in hand and his lifebound magical treasure at its peak, he still wasn’t a match for Zhou Xun.

Now, compared to back then, his strength was even worse.

And Zhou Xun’s cultivation had advanced. Unless a miracle happened, he would soon follow in the footsteps of his fellow brothers!

"Lii Feiyu!"

Old Demon Yulu screamed hoarsely, his eyes red, exuding a sense of unwillingness!

"I, with the talent of an Earth Spirit Root, established my foundation at the age of thirty and formed my core at a hundred and twenty. Now, at just over four hundred years old,

equipped with a high-grade pill furnace, I’m easily able to acquire a nascent soul spiritual object, with the Nascent Soul Dao right before my eyes."

"Yet, victory belongs to the king and defeat to the scoundrel... victory belongs to the king and defeat to the scoundrel... hahaha!"

Old Demon Yulu appeared almost deranged as the aura on his body suddenly turned chaotic—and he intended to self-destruct his inner core!

"Noisy!"

Zhou Xun spoke indifferently, his expression unchanged, his hands continuing with spells!

"Go!"

He gently pointed at Old Demon Yulu!

The Profound Thunder Sword buzzed,

once again changing direction, transforming into a blue blur, piercing straight through Old Demon Yulu’s head, killing him instantly!

Then it turned back, towing the old demon’s body, flying back in front of Zhou Xun, and slowly coming to a halt.

With this, the entire Blood Refining Sect team of five perished!

Zhou Xun waved his hand, carefully collecting all the spoils of war.

Then he took out the Thousand Faces Mask,

and cast a spell!

With a flash of spirit light, the Thousand Faces suddenly split into two!

This was the power of the Thousand Faces Mask—it could merge or separate!

Zhou Xun and his avatar each took one, placing them on their faces, then transformed into the appearances of Old Demon Yulu and that late-stage Core Formation cultivator.

They left the place straight away!

...

Reaching the main road again, Zhou Xun had no mind for further exploration and went straight down the mountain!

Suddenly—

a group of cultivators appeared before him,

"Mu Jiuge!"

Zhou Xun’s expression remained unchanged, continuing down the mountain!

"Daoist Yulu, Daoist Yuhong, where are you headed!" Mu Jiuge looked scrutinizingly and asked.

"Greetings, Master Mu!"

’Old Demon Yulu’ cupped his hands slightly, then said with a bitter smile,

"Our Blood Refining Sect was unlucky, unfortunately triggering the restrictions here, losing three fellow brothers in succession, making it impossible to continue exploring,"

"So we plan to head down the mountain for some rest. If we can gather a few more fellow members, we’ll try our luck again at a later time!"

"Really?"

Mu Jiuge probed several times without finding any flaws, so he had to let them go.

After all, the Blood Refining Sect is one of the three core Demonic sects. Although its Supreme Elder only holds a middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivation,

the combined strength of the sect’s five tier-four Blood Demon Children is not inferior to a Great Cultivator.

Therefore, although he felt something was not quite right, without concrete evidence, he couldn’t do anything about it.

"If Daoist Mu is fine, then I shall take my leave!"

Saying this, he cupped his hands again and continued down the mountain.

Just as he reached a distance of a hundred yards from Mu Jiuge and the others, he instantly unleashed all his power, becoming a blur as he rushed down the mountain!

Within half a tea’s time, Zhou Xun arrived at the mountain’s entrance again.

At this time, thirty Core Formation cultivators were guarding the entrance, not letting anyone in.

It was then that Zhou Xun walked out.

"Senior Brother Yulu, what are you...?"

A cultivator from the Demon Alliance asked.

"Alas, too many losses endured, we came down first for some rest!"

’Old Demon Yulu’ sighed, then walked forward without a trace of emotion,

quickly passing the guards,

reaching the Demon Alliance’s camp, sitting down to meditate, and then leaving while everyone was not paying attention,

left the place.

...

"Finally left!" Zhou Xun smiled slightly.

Next, the main and avatar will act separately.

The main will return to the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, seizing the opportunity to subdue the Celestial Feather Sect and the entrance to the Celestial Profound Secret Realm in their secret vault;

it is impossible to leave it to others.

As for the avatar, it will head to the Celestial Talisman Sect in the South Sea to investigate the Nascent Soul spiritual object.

However, before leaving, there is one matter to attend to, which is tallying the spoils of war.

After all, Old Demon Yulu and the others had just left the Alchemy Room, and judging by their satisfied expressions, the gains were surely significant, which now all became his bounty.

Firstly, the Blood Demon Children, four in total, two middle-grade and two low-grade, all suitable materials for refining Blood Demon Crystals.

Zhou Xun planned to refine them after leaving.

He took out four storage bags, poured all the treasures inside out,

piling them into a small hill.

Most were various rare spirit medicines, among which was a tier-four middle-grade one,

about a foot tall, it looked like a Spirit Bamboo in shape, with golden patterns on it,

Zhou Xun sighed, patting the storage bag and taking out a Jade Box,

gently opening it to reveal an identical spirit plant.

"How could there be another one the same!"

Zhou Xun sighed.

His Spring Condensation Scripture, a kind of spirit medicine can only enhance spiritual root talent during the first extraction.

"Still, it’s a tier-four middle-grade spirit medicine!"

He shook his head and stored the spirit medicine properly.

There were very few treasures like spirit stones and materials, possibly because they hadn’t brought them in, fearing it might benefit their enemies in case of death.

"Isn’t this..."

Zhou Xun beckoned, and a pitch-black small banner flew out into his hand.

The banner face was densely covered with various skulls.

It was precisely Old Demon Yulu’s lifebound magical treasure, the Ten Thousand Skull Banner!

This treasure was heavily damaged by Zhou Xun using the power of tribulation thunder years ago. After years of repair, it had recovered seventy percent.

If placed in the Yin Vein Land, it could continue to be repaired!

The material of this treasure was outstanding, incorporating tier-four Nourishing Spirit Wood, making the ghosts within even more formidable.

If not for Zhou Xun’s Celestial Thunder suppressing this treasure, he would have had a tough time dealing with it.

"What a fine treasure!"

Zhou Xun praised it before putting it into the storage bag.

Then his gaze fell on an ancient-looking, entirely cyan-colored pill furnace.

This pill furnace was roughly the size of a palm, extremely smooth, and gave a sense of harmony.

"Could this be the high-grade magical treasure pill furnace!"

Zhou Xun’s fingers curled slightly, and the pill furnace flew into his hand.

It felt smooth and warm, like mutton fat jade, yet its weight was substantial, weighing a hundred pounds,

with intricate spirit patterns engraved on it, very extraordinary.

"Qing Yuan"

Zhou Xun gently recited, seemingly the name of this pill furnace.

As for injecting mana, Zhou Xun didn’t dare attempt it,

after all, it was a high-grade magical treasure pill furnace, only a Nascent Soul cultivator could operate it.

Of course, a cultivator who condensed the Immortal Golden Core, reaching the peak Core Formation stage might barely be able to operate it.

This treasure, naturally, was kept by Zhou Xun’s main body.

In addition, all discovered jade talismans and top-grade treasure Thunder Spear from this treasure hunt were kept by the main body,

while spirit medicines of tier-four middle-grade and above were handed over to the avatar for cultivation,

those below tier-four middle-grade, most were given to the main body to take back for alchemy.

After dividing, the main body and avatar parted again, each heading in a different direction.
