Chapter 796: Meet the Red Blood Demon Again and Search the Cave (Ask for Monthly Votes)

When they first met Ma Wuchen on the deserted island, because this place was very close to the territory of Song State, most Jindan demon cultivators would not choose to hide in such a dangerous place.

Song Qingming thought that Ma Wuchen just happened to pass by nearby and bumped into them by chance, and was not sure whether the cave where the other party was hiding was near the "deserted island".

It was not until the soul search just now that Song Qingming dug out all the secrets of Ma Wuchen.

Only then did he know that this demon had betrayed his master "Red Blood Demon" and had been hiding near Song State for more than 20 years.

Most of the demon cultivators who are willing to degenerate and practice the magic skills are people who will do anything to achieve their goals. The disciples of "Red Blood Demon" are also mostly treacherous, insidious and cunning.

In order to prevent his disciples from rebelling and control these people for their own use for life, "Red Blood Demon" has planted some prohibitions on them.

Not only can they monitor their location at all times, but they can also control their life and death at critical moments, so that they dare not rebel.

Ma Wuchen, who had followed the "Red Blood Demon" for many years, had already cultivated to the ninth level of the Golden Core for many years, and had long been ready to break through the Nascent Soul Realm at any time.

But Ma Wuchen, who had longed for the Nascent Soul Realm in his heart, also knew that his master, the "Red Blood Demon", would never sit back and watch him break through the Nascent Soul Realm and get rid of his control.

Although he showed respect to his master, the "Red Blood Demon", on the surface, Ma Wuchen had long had a rebellious heart in his heart.

Therefore, while he was collecting ways to break through the Nascent Soul Realm over the years, he was also thinking hard about how to get rid of the harmful restrictions planted by the "Red Blood Demon" in his body that could threaten his life at any time.

Finally, more than 20 years ago, Ma Wuchen found a skill that could temporarily seal the restrictions in his body. While the "Red Blood Demon" was practicing in seclusion, he escaped from his control and hid near the Song State.

After Ma Wuchen had been hiding in Song State for many years, he finally felt relieved when he saw that the "Red Blood Demon" had not been able to find the vicinity.

So Song Qingming found a more hidden cave in Taiyue Lake near the "deserted island" where he fought with him, and there he painstakingly planned his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

In order to prevent others from disturbing his retreat and breakthrough, Ma Wuchen also used his magical powers to control some nearby monsters, patrolling the surrounding waters of his retreat cave, and attacking and driving away the human cultivators who were passing by.

The "eight-legged demon king" that Song Qingming accidentally killed when he found the deserted island that day was one of the monsters controlled by Ma Wuchen.

It was also because this demon was suddenly killed that Ma Wuchen knew that a high-level cultivator had come nearby.

Feeling the danger, he came out to investigate, and ended up meeting Song Qingyu and others on the "deserted island". After a fierce battle, he finally fell in the hands of Song Qingming.

Through the soul search of Ma Wuchen just now, Song Qingming also successfully found the cave where he was hiding, which was on another small island less than a thousand miles away from the "deserted island".

This cave is located close to the depths of "Taiyue Lake". There are not only many monsters around it, but it is also very hidden. Usually, it is difficult for cultivators to dare to approach it.

Not finding anything good on Ma Wuchen, Song Qingming also placed his last hope on his cave. Next, he naturally had to go there.

After completing the soul search, Song Qingming moved his magic power, and his life treasure "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" immediately flew out and came to the air.

Then several white flames shot out from the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" and directly wrapped Ma Wuchen's soul.

"Don't spare my life, fellow Daoist!"

Only a very piercing scream was heard, and Ma Wuchen's soul was burned into a ball of light white smoke by the Xuanyang flames released by the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror".

And at the moment when Ma Wuchen's soul was killed, in a deep mountain underground cave far away from "Xufeng Island", an old man wearing a wide black robe and meditating with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes.

"Hey! You've been hiding for so long, but you died just like that. You're such a waste!

I'm in need of a Nascent Soul puppet. I wanted to wait until you break through the Nascent Soul realm before I go and take care of you. This really disappoints me.

Let me see who has the ability to kill you!"

"Red Blood Demon" whispered, and suddenly a strong blood light appeared on his body. Then he took out a talisman and covered the blood light beside him.

At this time, Song Qingming was relieved for completely killing Ma Wuchen. Suddenly, a strange black gas emerged from the white smoke, and then a creepy human face suddenly appeared in the air.

"This is... Red Blood Demon!"

Seeing this human face transformed by the black gas, it was the "Red Blood Demon" he had seen in the "Tower of Babel" that year. Song Qingming was surprised and surprised.

Could it be that this is the restriction that the "Red Blood Demon" left in Ma Wuchen's body, and it was actually hidden in his soul? He was really careless.

"Boy, you are so capable that you can actually kill my disciple. I wonder which Taoist disciple you are. Do you dare to tell me your name?"

In the "Babel Tower", although Song Qingming had seen the battle between this demon and the Fire Phoenix with the help of "Senior Xuantian", the "Red Blood Demon" had never seen Song Qingming.

Therefore, when he saw the somewhat unfamiliar man in green in front of him, the "Red Blood Demon" did not recognize Song Qingming's identity, and thought he was a Jindan disciple of a Yuanying sect in the Floating Cloud Mountain Range.

Song Qingming was surprised to see the human face transformed by "Red Blood Demon" suddenly appear, but he did not want to talk to him. He directly controlled "Xuan Yang Flame" to wrap up the human face transformed by the black gas.

Soon, the human face that had just been transformed was burned to ashes by "Xuan Yang Flame" just like Ma Wuchen's soul, and it dissipated directly between heaven and earth.

At the same time as the black gas disappeared, the talisman in the hand of "Red Blood Demon" in the retreat cave also burned into ashes without fire, and gradually disappeared in front of him.

"Humph! It's really interesting. This person seems to be young and energetic, but he is really too cautious and has no manners at all."

"No matter who you are, if you dare to destroy my plan that I have been planning for many years and kill my disciples, I will find you sooner or later!"

After the "Red Blood Demon" muttered to himself, he recalled Song Qingming's figure and appearance in his mind, and then a very fierce look appeared in his eyes.

At this time, Song Qingming, who had just killed the "Red Blood Demon" with a human face, was relieved when he saw the black gas gradually dissipate and disappear.

Although he had successfully wiped off the human face, Song Qingming couldn't help but feel a little scared at this moment, wondering if he had been targeted by the other party.

"Red Blood Demon" is a big demon at the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Even Huo Feng couldn't deal with him back then, let alone Song Qingming, a small Jindan cultivator.

Once targeted by such a Nascent Soul-level demon cultivator, it would be absolutely difficult for Song Qingming and the Song family, which only had a few Jindan cultivators, to compete with him.

However, although he was very worried, Song Qingming had also confirmed that the "Red Blood Demon" had not recognized his identity just now, and he would definitely not be able to find him in a short time.

Although he knew that the other party would not be able to find him for a while, this hidden danger was now buried!

If Song Qingming cannot break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in the future, once the "Red Blood Demon" comes to the door one day, no one can compete with him, and I am afraid that he and the entire Song family may suffer.

After standing there and thinking for a long time, Song Qingming sighed slightly, and his face gradually returned to normal.

Since this grudge has been formed, no matter what will happen in the future, it is definitely impossible to avoid it, and I can only face it calmly.

I hope this day will come later, leaving myself more time for preparation.

After thinking a little more, Song Qingming put away the magic array around the cave, and then strode out of his cave.

After blowing the cool breeze outside the cave for a while and calming down his mood, Song Qingming turned around and came to the cave where Song Qingyu was in retreat.

Li Xiuning, who received Song Qingming's order, has been guarding outside the cave where Song Qingyu was in retreat these days, and dared not leave without permission!

At this moment, seeing Song Qingming coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to report to him about the situation around the cave in the past few days.

Using his spiritual sense to check around Song Qingyu's cave, he found nothing unusual. The spiritual energy in the cave was very calm, and it was estimated that it was not far from her time to come out of retreat.

Seeing this, Song Qingming gradually put his mind at ease, and then he gave Li Xiuning a few words beside him, and then he left the cave with confidence.

After an incense stick, a white light flashed in the sky above the west side of "Xufeng Island".

Then a figure in green appeared in the air, stepping on a flying boat. It was Song Qingming who had just left the cave.

Although it had only been a few days since the "Desert Island" War, Song Qingming was still a little worried that if he went there rashly now, he would run into someone from the "Hunyuan Sect".

But now that he had killed Ma Wuchen here, he had already alarmed the "Red Blood Demon", and Song Qingming was even more worried that this demon would come here in advance.

Therefore, he decided to take some risks and search Ma Wuchen's cave first, so as to avoid going there too late and losing the things inside to others.

The cave where Ma Wuchen hid was only two thousand miles away from the "Xufeng Island" where the brides were escorted. It would take half a day for a Jindan cultivator to go back and forth.

In order not to attract attention, Song Qingming not only changed his clothes in advance, but also put on a hat to cover his face.

After leaving "Xufeng Island", the flying boat, under his control, first went to the territory of the monsters in the east.

After entering the depths of "Taiyue Lake", it turned northwest and then rushed directly to the location of Ma Wuchen's cave.

Although it would take a little more time to take a detour, most of the places passed by were the territory of monsters, and the probability of encountering cultivators on the road would be much smaller, which would be safer for Song Qingming.

However, after the flying boat went deep into the territory of monsters, Song Qingming still encountered many monsters harassing along the way.

Fortunately, his cultivation and magical powers were not low. As long as he did not encounter those great monster kings in the late Jindan period, it would be difficult for any monster to keep Song Qingming.

After walking carefully for more than an hour, a small island full of reefs suddenly came into view, which made Song Qingming, who had been traveling for a long time, smile slightly.

This small island located deep in the "Taiyue Lake" is only three or four miles in radius. It is full of various large and small reefs. Not only is there no spiritual energy, but there are not even a few flowers, plants and trees.

Such a "reef island" full of rocks and poor vegetation, let alone cultivators, even the nearby monsters don't like to approach this place to look for food. It is indeed a good place to hide.

After the flying boat came to the sky above the "Reef Island", Song Qingming stopped immediately and waved his hand to put the "Phantom Boat" under his feet back into the storage magic weapon.

Then Song Qingming glanced around and saw that there was no movement around, so he carefully landed on a huge rock on the west side of the "Reef Island".

Relying on the memory in his mind, Song Qingming quickly found a cave hidden by the formation below the connection between this huge rock and another huge rock next to it.

Because he had searched Ma Wuchen's memory, Song Qingming also indirectly knew the method to crack this formation, and he forcibly opened the formation covering this place without much effort.

After entering the stone cave, a damp air instantly rushed towards him. Song Qingming waved his hand to release a shield to protect himself, and then walked into the stone cave carefully.

Because the terrain was low, there was water everywhere in the stone cave, and there were many algae extending all the way to the walls of the stone cave. Compared with the caves of other cultivators, the environment in the cave did look a little worse.

Being able to live in such a place for such a long time, it can be seen that Ma Wuchen has made great efforts to avoid the pursuit of "Red Blood Demon" and the surrounding righteous monks.

Not far inside, Song Qingming suddenly felt free, and soon entered a cave with a length and width of 50 to 60 meters.

Compared with the dark, damp and smelly outside, the environment in this cave is much better. A high-level "Spirit Gathering Array" in the middle keeps running to isolate the outside breath outside a transparent light shield.

After entering the cave, Song Qingming, who saw many spiritual objects in front of him, did not rush to move forward, but stopped to cast a spell to summon his life magic weapon "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror".

After the magic weapon protected his body, Song Qingming took out an ordinary stone that had been prepared long ago, and then threw it directly to the opposite side.

As soon as the stone flew out of his hand and flew into the air, there was a movement in the nearby stone wall, and then dozens of flying swords broke through the air and immediately cut the stone in the air into powder.

After these sword lights cut the stone into pieces, they did not stop, but continued to break through the air until they cut almost all the air in front of the cave, and then slowly stopped.

After seeing the sword light in front of him automatically dissipate, Song Qingming immediately controlled the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" in front of him to emit a sword light, and then there was an explosion on the mountain wall not far away.

Seeing that a mechanism hidden on the wall next to him had been destroyed by the sword light, Song Qingming was relieved with satisfaction and walked forward quickly.

The golden sword light just now was a very powerful trap that Ma Wuchen deliberately arranged in his cave.

If an ordinary cultivator is unaware and rushes forward to take the treasure after entering this place, it is very likely that he will be greeted by a catastrophe and lose his life in vain.

Even for a Jindan cultivator like Song Qingming, who has achieved great success in cultivation, it would be very risky to force his way through this restriction.

Fortunately, Song Qingming knew all this in advance and broke this mechanism restriction without spending too much effort.

Otherwise, if it were an ordinary Jindan cultivator, even if there was a way to break these restrictions, it would take a lot of time to study before it could possibly come in.

After successfully entering Ma Wuchen's cave, Song Qingming's eyes were quickly attracted by a flashing spiritual light.

Seeing the mountains of spiritual stones piled up in a corner not far away, and the various spiritual objects placed on the stone table nearby, Song Qingming gradually showed a satisfied smile.

After all, Ma Wuchen is a Jindan peak demon cultivator who has been in the Jindan stage for many years. In these years, there are no less than five or six cultivators of the same level who have fallen in his hands. Even though many of the spiritual objects have been exchanged for cultivation resources by him, the accumulated wealth is still very considerable.

Just by taking a quick glance, Song Qingming found at least five or six third-level magic weapons of varying qualities, as well as various low-level spiritual talismans, spiritual medicines, and a total of about 100,000 spiritual stones.

These things alone would be worth at least 200,000 or 300,000 spiritual stones in the market outside, which was almost in line with the worth of a Jindan peak cultivator.

After a quick glance, he immediately took out a spare storage bag on his body and put all the spiritual stones and various spiritual objects that were useful to him into it.

The remaining manuals, elixirs, and spiritual objects that were only used by demon cultivators were thrown aside by him and burned cleanly in a fire to prevent any younger cultivators from finding them and going astray in the future.

Not long after, the various spiritual objects left in Ma Wuchen's cave and the piles of spiritual stones basically fell into Song Qingming's storage bag.

Most of these magic tools, talismans, and spiritual stones were seized from other cultivators after Ma Wuchen killed them before. Except for a few, most of them have not been contaminated by demonic energy.

However, these things seem to be basically Ma Wuchen's spoils of war. Except for the more common spiritual stones, other spiritual objects are not easy to get rid of for a while.

If he takes them out rashly and is recognized by cultivators from other sects, Song Qingming will not be able to explain the matter at that time.

He needs to wait until he has the opportunity to go out in the future and find a place far away from the immortal cultivation world of the Floating Cloud Mountains, and then find a way to slowly deal with these spiritual objects and exchange them for the required spiritual stones.

After scanning all the spiritual objects that can be seen in the cave, Song Qingming came to the place in the middle of the "Gathering Spirit Array" and dismantled all the array flags and array plates floating in the air.

As the "Spirit Gathering Array" was dismantled, the light shield protecting the cave house immediately disappeared, and the originally very rich spiritual energy in the entire cave house gradually began to thin out.

After dismantling this third-level "Spirit Gathering Array", Song Qingming did not leave in a hurry, but carefully pushed a huge stone placed under the Spirit Gathering Array to the side.

The huge stone had just moved a short distance, and a dark cave entrance soon appeared below.

After Song Qingming took a quick look, he jumped down and soon fell into a dark cave.

After casting a spell to release a "Night Pearl", Song Qingming quickly saw the surrounding scene and came to a circular magic array arranged on the ground.

"Is this the magic array that Ma Wuchen carefully prepared to help him break through the Nascent Soul stage!"

Before, when sealing Ma Wuchen's soul, he kept hearing him say that he had a technique to help people break through the Nascent Soul stage. Song Qingming thought he was just talking nonsense to save his life.

It was not until later when he searched his soul for the memories in his mind and searched for the spiritual objects hidden in the cave by Ma Wuchen that Song Qingming accidentally saw from his memory a magic array that he had prepared to assist in breaking through the Nascent Soul.

Whether it is a righteous cultivator or a demon cultivator who practices the magic method, if you want to break through the Nascent Soul realm, you must gather and refine enough spiritual energy in the golden elixir in your body.

Only then can the embryonic form of the Nascent Soul be nurtured in the golden elixir, and finally the fetus will be transformed into the Nascent Soul to survive the thunder tribulation and reach the highest realm that all golden elixir cultivators yearn for.

The first critical step is to refine the spiritual energy in your own golden elixir.

This step takes a very long time, and some cultivators may need to continue for more than ten years to complete it, which is a great test of the cultivator's own state of mind and endurance.

In the entire cultivation world, almost more than 50% of the cultivators who try to break through the Nascent Soul realm for the first time will eventually fall at this step.

The previous head of the "Xiaoyao Sect", Yao Qianshu, and Bai Yuxian failed when they broke through the Nascent Soul Realm for the first time because they failed to persist in refining the golden elixir spirit energy.

The formation in front of Song Qingming was found by Ma Wuchen inadvertently from the cave of a senior Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator when he was looking for a way to break through the Nascent Soul Realm in recent years.

In this formation, a piece of extremely rare top-grade spirit stone in the world of immortal cultivation was refined. When it is running, it can help cultivators save a lot of time in refining the golden elixir spirit energy.

It can help to increase the probability of some cultivators like Song Qingming who break through the Nascent Soul Realm for the first time to finally condense the Nascent Soul.

However, the core top-grade spirit stone in this formation will consume its spiritual energy after one use, and it cannot be supplemented by external objects. It will take at least a hundred years to slowly recover automatically.

In other words, the formation that Ma Wuchen found can only be used once within a hundred years no matter who holds it.

For some older Jindan cultivators, if they fail to break through, they may not be able to use this array the next time they condense the Nascent Soul.

Although Ma Wuchen has this array in recent years, he has not prepared the spiritual objects needed for the tribulation, and he is not very sure that he can survive the Nascent Soul thunder tribulation, so he has not had time to use this array.

Unexpectedly, he worked hard for decades to break through the Nascent Soul realm, but in the end, Song Qingming accidentally picked up this advantage. (End of this chapter)
