Chapter 358 Undercurrent
The shocking news of the birth of the fourth-level demon king in the Yunxia Sect spread quickly throughout the sect.
The auspicious clouds and strange phenomena of the successful tribulation, and even the terrifying pressure emanating from the transformed demon king, were difficult to conceal from the outside world.
"Auspicious signs from heaven, the birth of a sacred beast, our sect is on the verge of prosperity!"
Many middle and high-level cultivators were excited and stopped to look at the inner peak close to the fourth-level spiritual vein.
Some middle-level cultivators, simply curious, wanted to admire the style of the transformed demon king, and were also waiting in the outer circle.
In the cave of Qingluan Peak, Xiao Qingshan saw the celestial phenomenon of the tribulation in the distance from a long distance.
At first, he thought that Elder Xiang was trying his best to take care of the cave in the main peak like the outside world, and didn't think much about it.
It was not until after the sixth level of heavenly thunder tribulation that Xiao Qingshan realized that things were not simple.
Not long after, a demonic wind and evil spirit that made his scalp numb swept in from the fourth-level spiritual vein of Yunxia Sect.
Xiao Qingshan was still in shock, and before he could think and find out the truth, several beams of light flew straight to Qingluan Peak.
Two of them were the late foundation building steward and the fake pill master who were close to him.
"Brother Xiao, congratulations! The spirit beast of Elder Xiang of Guifeng has successfully transformed!"
The leader, the fake pill master, bowed and congratulated him with a smile.
Several friends who came to congratulate him could not hide their envy.
The transformed demon king is a terrifying creature that is comparable to the Yuanying Zhenjun!
From then on, Elder Xiang, the owner of the sacred beast, has basically the same status as the Yuanying Zhenjun.
As the steward of Qingluan Peak, Xiao Qingshan will surely become a powerful figure in the sect.
"Master Rat became a transformed demon king? Is this true?"
Xiao Qingshan was stunned and shocked.
The spirit rat master interacted with Xiao Qingshan occasionally on weekdays. The good news at this moment made him feel like he was in a dream, and it felt unreal.
After repeated confirmation, Xiao Qingshan was overjoyed and excited.
Previously, as the chief steward of the main peak of the Jindan Great Cultivation, he had a higher status in the sect.
He never expected that the main peak he managed would give birth to a fourth-level sect sacred beast.
Xiao Qingshan felt as if he was standing on the wind, and with a little effort, he could take off with the wind.
"Brother Xiao, for such a happy event, I must congratulate the elders as soon as possible."
Xiao Qingshan explained the things on the peak and went to the hinterland of the mountain gate with several friends.
On a peak close to the hinterland of the fourth-level spiritual vein, many cultivators of the Yunxia Sect gathered.
Those at the forefront were all Jindan True Immortals, and ordinary foundation-building cultivators were not qualified to approach.
"Housekeeper Xiao, congratulations."
Many Jindan True Immortals present smiled friendly and took the initiative to show goodwill and greet Xiao Qingshan, including many inner sect elders.
It is well known in the Yunxia Sect that Xiao Qingshan is the only confidant of Elder Xiang.
The crowd in the outer circle separated automatically.
Xiao Qingshan, a foundation-building cultivator, came to the front of the mountain amid many congratulations and greeted several Zhendan elders.
"Qingshan, Aunt Mei has long seen that you have a deep fortune and will have good fortune in the future."
One of the Zhendan female elders was about forty or fifty years old, with a thin face and gray hair in her temples. Although she looked old, her facial features were beautiful and she had a noble temperament like green bamboo and bright moon.
"Master Yumei is too kind. Qingshan is just lucky."
Xiao Qingshan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Master Yumei was the master of his childhood sweetheart Yi Shuzhen. They had no social relationship before.
When Xiao Qingshan was down and out, Yi Shuzhen looked down on him and caused him to regret the engagement, let alone Master Yumei.
Master Yumei looked at the forbidden area where the transformed monster was born, sighed in her heart, and felt a little regretful.
Originally, she and her master had a lot of fate with Qingluan Peak.
When Elder Xiang first entered the sect, Sect Master Hu had tried to match them up as Taoist couples.
Unfortunately, Master Xiang was an ascetic monk who was not interested in women, so this marriage was not successful.
Master Yumei's thoughts turned. Since Xiao Qingshan became successful, her disciple Yi Shuzhen has become more discerning in recent years and is still single and has not found a Taoist partner.
If we start from this point, we can continue to be in touch with Elder Xiang's lineage.
Master Yumei had a plan in mind and said with a smile: "Qingshan, come to Aunt Mei's cave more often when you are free. Zhen'er has been obsessed with you all these years."
Xiao Qingshan responded politely, secretly complaining that at this point, do you still want to reconcile?
At this time, Master Yumei heard the voice transmission: "Shuzhen is guilty of her own fault and missed the previous fate and failed to become your legal wife Taoist partner. However, Qingshan has an outstanding talent for dual cultivation and will definitely take a concubine in the future..."
Xiao Qingshan was stunned and speechless.
Yumei Zhenren is an elder in the middle stage of Jindan, with a noble status. Is she going to let her disciple be his concubine?
When Yi Shuzhen persuaded him to cancel the engagement, she was ambitious and arrogant, like a proud girl of heaven.
Xiao Qingshan thought Yumei Zhenren was joking, and Yi Shuzhen's personality might not agree.
Half a day later, the former beautiful figure in a white dress appeared beside Yumei Zhenren.
Yi Shuzhen has exquisite makeup, a plump figure, beautiful and moving, shy and timid, and sometimes sends a glance.
Xiao Qingshan was in a complicated mood and sighed secretly. The beloved woman he had been longing for is now at his fingertips, and he is even willing to be his concubine.
Yumei Zhenren brought Yi Shuzhen and prepared to come over to connect with Xiao Qingshan.
"Qingshan, come here! I have something to talk to you about..."
At this time, an old voice sounded from the clouds above the mountain, accompanied by the spiritual pressure of the Jindan master.
"Master Hu!"
Yumei Zhenren's face froze, and she and Yi Shuzhen stopped walking.
"I've met the sect leader."
The Master Jie Dan and the Foundation Establishment monks who were waiting on the mountain looked respectful and saluted one after another.
"Qingshan obeys your orders."
Xiao Qingshan took a deep breath, bowed his hands, flew to the clouds above the inner peak, and talked with the old white-bearded Sect Master Hu.
Xiao Qingshan was flattered when Sect Leader Yunxia summoned him to talk alone.
Sect Leader Hu looked kind, approachable, and had no airs, and Xiao Qingshan quickly calmed down.
"Not good! Among the disciples of Sect Leader Hu, there is a female foundation-building cultivator who is even more beautiful and beautiful..."
Master Yumei quickly realized something and her expression turned ugly.
Although Sect Master Hu is short-lived and has reached the stage of abdicating the throne, the power of his lineage in the sect is not trivial.
"Qingshan..."
Yi Shuzhen looked ashamed, looking at her former lover in the prime of life, with mixed feelings in her heart.
…
Half a month later.
The aura of the demon king who had crossed the forbidden area of tribulation was completely restrained, and the previous sense of oppression no longer existed.
After the Earth Rock Rat consolidated its realm, it finally stood up and stood in a humanoid posture. The hair on its body was dark rock color, but its head and limbs were still in the form of a rat.
After a monster advances to the fourth level of Demon King, it can realize the magical power of transformation and transform into human form, so it is called the transformation stage.
However, this process does not happen overnight.
Some demon kings do not like the human form, and would rather maintain their original bodies, or walk around the world with some of the characteristics of their original bodies.
There are also some special species with top bloodlines that are still unable to transform into the fourth level, such as descendants of true spirit bloodline.
"The mouse 'Diyanjun', thanks the master for protecting the law."
The Earth Rock Rat maintained the shape of a normal human and had a gentle voice as he bowed to Lu Changan and saluted.
Diyanjun is the Taoist name Diyanrat gave himself after he achieved great power.
Looking at Daqing and even the Great Abyss over the past ten thousand years, there is no example of a rock rat becoming a demon king in form.
A normal rock rat, but with a mid-level bloodline. It is more practical in the early stage, but it is a race with insufficient stamina.
In fact, this is a characteristic of most rat demons.
Lu Changan glanced at the Earth Rock Rat. It was different to become the Demon King. He knew that he had taken his own path.
He originally planned to give him a domineering name such as Earth Demon King, Earth Rock Rat King, etc., as his number one protector, to intimidate Xiao Xiao's disciples.
"Congratulations to 'Diyan Lord' for entering the fourth level of transformation."
Two True Lords, Yunlan and Zixia, came together to congratulate him.
The Earth Rock Rat's humble return gift was not as ferocious as the Peerless Demon King's, and was even a little shy, giving the two true monarchs an impression of diligence and honesty.
True Monarch Yunlan is gentle and elegant, showing his appreciation for the Earth Rock Rat, taking the initiative to talk and asking questions.
On the contrary, Lu Changan, the master, was put aside.
True Lord Zixia also revealed her love for the rock rat, but she had to be more reserved and reserved.
Lu Changan sensed True Lord Yunlan's intention.
If you are an ordinary pill-forming monk, and your spiritual pet is unexpectedly promoted to the fourth level, your priority will inevitably change.
If the relationship is not good and the spiritual contract is not restrained enough, it is not possible to rule out the possibility of being a guest.
No matter how bad it is, we must be equal to the master and respect each other.
The transformed monsters have extraordinary intelligence. Given the huge gap in realms, if the master of the pill formation still wants to be used as a bull and a horse to push him around, he will be in trouble.
True Lord Yunlan obviously understood this and showed kindness to the Earth Rock Rat and built a relationship with him.
Once a consensus is reached with the Earth Rock Rat, even if Lu Changan completely surrenders to True Lord Zixia, his arms will not be able to twist his thighs.
"Senior brother, Lord Diyan is the fourth-level demon king and can no longer submit to the dojo of the third-level spiritual veins. I propose that a separate underground palace dojo be opened for Lord Diyan on the fourth-level spiritual veins."
True Lord Zixia suggested with a gentle voice.
"This is the treatment Mr. Diyan deserves. This matter must be arranged as soon as possible."
True Lord Yunlan nodded and agreed without hesitation.
Lu Changan and Earth Rock Rat looked at each other and smiled. The two expressed their gratitude and exchanged greetings for a while.
Later, the two true monarchs mentioned the "Transformation Ceremony" and asked for their opinions.
The Yunxia Sect gave birth to a great demon in disguise, which was comparable to the birth of an extra Nascent Soul Lord. Normally, a celebration would be held and all forces would be invited.
Lu Changan thought that it would be a good idea to hold a celebration since the Earth Rock Rat had been promoted to its incarnation and was completely destitute.
Today's Yunxia Sect has three major Nascent Soul combat powers, which can completely suppress the situation.
The celebration time is tentatively scheduled for half a year.
"Let the two true monarchs worry about you. A certain family will take Lord Diyan back to the cave to rest."
After talking about business, Lu Changan no longer gave True Lord Yunlan a chance to get close to the Earth Rock Rat, and drove back to his home in the Escape Light.
The Earth Rock Rat lowered his eyebrows and stood beside Lu Changan, one step behind, with a respectful posture, like a follower.
The two true kings looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the backs of one man and one rat.
After being promoted to incarnation, Lord Diyan still respected and obeyed Elder Xiang.
"Mr. Diyan has followed Master Xiang for hundreds of years, and we have shared life and death with each other. Senior brother, there is no need to waste your efforts."
True Lord Zixia pursed her lips and smiled softly.
True Lord Yun Lan's eyes flickered and he did not deny it.
This kind of deep emotional pet relationship is really difficult for outsiders to poach.
It is simply unrealistic to tame the fourth-level holy beast by killing Elder Xiang.
This is no different from killing his father and controlling his son. It will make the Demon King incarnate hate him for the rest of his life.
Even if the ancient beast-controlling sect has the means to forcibly enslave the fourth-level demon king, doing so would not be worth the gain. It is equivalent to laying a huge hidden danger that may backfire at any time.
"Junior sister, don't forget, the ordinary demon king can live for thousands of years..."
True Lord Yun Lan smiled lightly.
Even if we can’t win over the rock rat for the time being, we can still make friends in the long run.
Elder Xiang’s life span is far less than that of the transformed demon king. How can he live for hundreds of years?
True Lord Zixia naturally understood this and nodded:
“I hope that you will treat Elder Xiang sincerely and not leave any loopholes for the outside forces. Only in this way will Lord Diyan be willing to be the fourth-level sacred beast of our sect in the future.”
…
Lu Changan carried the rock rat and left the fourth-level spiritual vein forbidden area.
Returning to the nearest mountain in the inner gate, let the rock rat emit the spiritual pressure of the fourth-level demon king and accept the congratulations of the sect disciples.
This was in response to the request of the two true lords.
After True Lord Yunqing failed to form an infant, the Yunxia Sect, which was in a period of transition, had a declining reputation and needed to restore its reputation to the outside world.
Lu Changan had a brief chat with the high-level leaders such as Sect Master Hu, and then returned to Qingluan Peak with Xiao Qingshan who came to welcome him.
Back to the main peak dojo, the rock rat turned into a yellow halo and disappeared into the ground in a flash.
Underground secret room.
The black water turtle stood in front of the black vine, watching the rock rat exuding the breath of the demon king slowly approaching, and couldn't help trembling, and his head instinctively retracted into the turtle shell.
Half an hour later.
The rock rat relaxed his body, closed his eyes and lay lazily in the bathtub.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The black water turtle spit out dark green spiritual water column, patting and nourishing the body of the fourth-level rat king, helping it to speed up the repair of the injuries left in the heavenly tribulation.
In the quiet room of the cave above his head, Lu Changan did not interfere with the friendly coexistence of the two spiritual pets.
The rock rat was promoted to the fourth level. In the past half month, his excitement has calmed down.
At this moment, Lu Changan's face was full of thoughts, checking for omissions and filling in the gaps.
Indeed, the promotion of the rock rat to the fourth level made his future practice and Nascent Soul planning more secure.
However, the birth of a fourth-level demon king, while glorious, cannot avoid being high-profile.
It will definitely attract the attention of all the major forces in the Great Yu Cultivation World, and even attract the attention of other forces in the Great Abyss.
"Besides, most of the key resources for the Earth Rock Rat to transform are overdrawn."
Lu Changan did not forget that he still owed Jing Wufeng a promise to help him complete the risky task of sealing the demon in the future.
That year, the two signed a third-level spiritual contract, and attached the oath of the inner demon.
During the period when the Earth Rock Rat consolidated his realm and recuperated from his injuries.
The shocking news that the Yunxia Sect gave birth to a fourth-level holy beast was known to the upper echelons of the major forces in the Great Yu Kingdom through various channels.
…
The Great Snake Mountain is a circular mountain shrouded in gray mist all year round. The mysterious valley in the center is cold and deep.
The Red Snake True Lord sat in front of a poisonous pool at the bottom of the valley. The stench of poisonous gas around him would make the Jindan cultivators feel dizzy after taking a breath.
Whoosh!
In the poisonous pool, a red and black snake tail of more than ten feet rolled over the surface of the venomous water.
In the center of the poison pool covered by thick fog, a red-faced man with an oval head was exposed. His facial skin was covered with dense fine scales, which made people shudder.
The red-faced man had red eyes and a snake tongue spit out of his mouth, listening to the statement of the Red Snake Master.
"The two great masters Yunlan and Zixia have the same origin of skills, and it is already difficult to join forces. Now that there is the rat king who has been promoted to the fourth level, his strength has reached a higher level in Dayu Country."
The Big Snake Mountain is the mortal enemy of the Yunxia Sect. Upon hearing the news not long ago, the Red Snake Master was shocked.
This added great variables and dangers to some of his plans.
"Could the rat demon's promotion to the fourth level be caused by the 'Xuanxin Beast Pill' you traded?"
As a transformed snake king, the red-faced man has a keen intuition and stares at the Red Snake Master coldly.
"It's hard to say!"
When the Red Snake Master heard the news, he also felt it was a coincidence.
The ground rock rat was promoted to the fourth level, and he sold the Xuanxin Beast Pill only one year before and after.
At first, he couldn't help but make associations.
However, the trader was a genuine Yuanying Zhenjun, whose spiritual consciousness was on par with his.
If Xiang Dalong was a Yuanying cultivator, there was no need for him to rely on others. There were powerful chambers of commerce that provided him with fourth-level spiritual veins and helped him purchase things that could be transformed.
Xuanxin Beast Pills were just unpopular, and were not particularly precious to old-fashioned Yuanying cultivators.
Moreover, according to the inside information he obtained, Xiang Dalong had not left the mountain gate in the past year, and even asked for a "Shangqing Pill" from Zixia Zhenjun.
Assuming that Xiang Dalong was that Yuanying Zhenjun, it was impossible for him to practice for decades under the eyes of the two Zhenjuns and succumb to the third-level spiritual vein dojo.
The above details are logically unreasonable.
"Hehehe, if you are the one who facilitated it, it would be a good thing!"
"The fourth-level rat demon is extremely rare in the entire Great Abyss. If I can devour this top-level great pill supplement, I will have a 10% chance of reaching the fourth-level middle stage."
The red-faced man spit out his snake tongue and licked the corner of his mouth. His cold red eyes revealed greed.
"How confident are you that you can take down that rat demon?"
The Red Snake Master thought of the restraint relationship between the two demon kings, and his heart moved.
The strength of the Red Nether Snake King is a little stronger than his, and it is also beyond the ordinary fourth-level demon king.
If he can go one step further and be promoted to the fourth-level middle grade, he will be able to look down on Dayu Country and become one of the few giants in the Central Region.
"Hehehe... As long as I can create an opportunity to be alone, I have a chance to strangle it within ten breaths!" The red-faced man said arrogantly, which was the confidence that came from the instinct of blood.
The child has influenza A, so I will write less today.
