Immortal Taoist Lord: My Cultivation Have No Limits

Chapter 410: 139 Breakthrough and Phenomenon of the Heavenly Phoenix (10K Asking for Monthly Tickets)_6
However, Su Yu has held this eight-armed blade mantis beast in his possession for many years. He bought it from the Drunken Daoist at the Big Moon Black Market decades ago.

Despite the decades, the existence of this beast under his control had always been low-key.

Unexpectedly,

It was the third beast since the Cloud Tigers matriarch and the Ice Scale Fish King in the backyard that broke through to the third-degree beast taming!

The process of the eight-armed blade mantis beast’s breakthrough took over a half month and was followed by nearly six months of beast soul transformation before its successful breakthrough.

The moment it exited its cultivation retreat, Su Yu rewarded it with hundreds of drops of premier Spiritual Liquid of the third degree, allowing it to solidify its cultivation base.

Ma Tianling curiously observed the eight-armed blade mantis beast that had just advanced to a lower third-degree beast, but lost interest upon seeing its ferocious and intimidating appearance.

Of all the controlled beasts on Green Moon Peak, Ma Tianling’s favorites were Hu Da and Hu Er, two dull-headed tigers, because they were amusing and often brought laughter.

Besides them, there was also the group of Ice Scale Fish in the backyard.

Ma Tianling always felt that her Spiritual Root was most resonant with the bloodline strength of the Ice Scale Fish, which gave her a sense of familiarity.

The Ice Scale Fish King and the school of Ice Scale Fish also seemed to be fond of her.

Whenever she visited the icy pool, the school of Ice Scale Fish would appear to play with her.

Accompanied by Su Yu, Yu Ke’er, Su Qi and others, though there weren’t many people on Green Moon Peak, Ma Tianling didn’t feel lonely.

Indeed, she felt that the days of cultivation here were her happiest times.

However,

While she was joyful, Su Qi was quite frustrated.

Little Tianling was too talented. She had caught up with Su Qi’s cultivation level after just a few years in the sect.

Even if Su Qi tried her hardest to cultivate, she was still far outpaced by Ma Tianling.

Eventually, Su Qi gave up her ambition to be the best, conceding that it was okay if Ma Tianling surpassed her.

After all, it wouldn’t be the first time she had been at the bottom.

Time passed slowly.

Four years later,

Within the cave dwelling beneath the summit of Green Moon Peak.

Accompanied by Su Yu embedding the core and initiating the Puppetry Technique on the Executioner Puppet, a potent aura immediately emanated from the puppet’s body.

The next moment, a brutish Executioner Puppet, standing three meters tall, with a shield resembling a door plank, its whole body pitch black and muscular, resembling a robust human with a sturdy bear-like body and a powerful tiger’s back, opened its eyes.

In appearance, apart from being brawny, the Executioner Puppet was essentially indistinguishable from the Human Clan.

With a puppet core forged from an Armadillo Great Demon, the Executioner Puppet exuded an aura as powerful as any at the fifth level of the Core Formation realm.

As for the Executioner Puppet’s defense, it was even more formidable.

Even when facing a late-stage Core Formation realm cultivator, the Executioner Puppet could withstand their attacks for a good amount of time!

Looking at the product before him, a satisfied smile spread across Su Yu’s face: “The third-grade mid-quality puppet, it’s done!”

With this puppet, even if he has to leave the Big Moon Prefecture in the future, the Su Family and Yu Ke’er would have the defense of the Executioner Puppet.

Additionally, under the care of Luo Qianyu and others from Yunjian Sect, their safety would be guaranteed.

Within the depths of Nine Souls Demon Ridge.

In an ancient Demon Sect’s secret realm submerged in perpetual darkness, a young man of handsome appearance and fine complexion, akin to a beauty, sat cross-legged on a blood-red jade bed. The blood-colored aura of the Demon Dao permeated the secret realm, converging upon him and transforming within him.

This was a secret realm suitable for Demon Dao cultivation, one of the ancient Demon Sect’s secret realms in his memory.

The Demon Dao aura pervading the secret realm was far superior to that obtained from other types of Demon Dao cultivation relying on blood and such techniques.

After all, the Demon Dao is not entirely about gruesome cultivation methods.

It’s just a shame

There were no opportunities to achieve the rank of Demon Monarch in this place. He had miscalculated.

Much later.

The young man on the blood-Jade bed slowly opened his eyes, sensing the energy within his body. He had already reached the ninth level of the Core Formation realm, a limit he had reached a year earlier.

Yet, he hadn’t lost hope and still wished to cultivate further to see if he could progress.

Or if there was a possibility to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm.

However, every time he considered advancing to the Nascent Soul realm, a throbbing sensation of death would reverberate in his heart. Each time he faced the bottleneck to the Nascent Soul realm, he would back down and dare not act rashly.

“Humph.”

Taoist Xuanming let out a deep breath, furrowing his brows as he thought to himself, “It still won’t work. Given my current state, the likelihood of forcefully breaking into the Nascent Soul realm is less than 20%. It’s too low!”

After deliberating for a long time, he slowly raised his head towards the direction of the Nine Souls Demon Palace.

If his memory served him right, the base of the Nine Souls Demon Palace should contain a formidable Demon Dao spiritual cave.

If he could cultivate in that place just once, it would be a significant opportunity for a Core Formation Demon cultivator.

However—

After much consideration, he dispelled that thought.

Soon after, Taoist Xuanming exited his retreat.

And a few days later, Taoist Xuanming conveyed a message to the Yunjian Sect. He shared that Jin Chanfa belonged to the Buddhist Soul technique and was incompatible with Demon Dao, as it would shatter the foundation of one’s path during cultivation.

He hoped this message would reach Su Yu, who possessed Jin Chanfa.

“I wonder, after learning of this, whether he will release Jin Chanfa and pass it to the Nine Souls Demon Palace—” Considering this, Taoist Xuanming thus spread the news.

Setting this trap didn’t cause him any harm.

If Su Yu believed it and passed Jin Chanfa to the Nine Souls Demon Palace—perhaps…!

Soon after, Taoist Xuanming forgot about this matter, leaving the secret realm with a few of his subordinates.

At present, the most important thing for him was to find an opportunity to ascend to the Nascent Soul Demon Monarch.

Everything else was irrelevant.

As long as he became a Nascent Soul Demon Monarch, he was confident that he could seize the foundation of the Nine Souls Demon Palace and then unify the entirety of Nine Souls Demon Ridge.

By then, the great prefectures surrounding him like Da Yue, Zi Guang, and Feng Luo would all become resources for his Demon Dao cultivation.

Originally, Taoist Xuanming planned on visiting the Taixu Immortal Alliance, after all, the Taixu Immortal Alliance was quite skilled in the fields of soul pills and soul talismans, which might bring him some opportunities.

However, to his surprise, shortly after he entered Zi Guang Prefecture, he was stunned by news emerging from Feng Luo Prefecture.

Deep within a secret forest.

Taoist Xuanming stared at his subordinate in astonishment, asking, “What did you just say? An ancient relic has emerged in Feng Luo Prefecture, and a sky-shaking vision of a Heavenly Phoenix accompanied its appearance?”

A Heavenly Phoenix vision!

For such phenomena to accompany the appearance of a relic indicated that the relic was not to be trifled with!
