Chapter 159 Subduing the Spirit Toad, Bai Xuantian
A streak of black light pierced through the air from afar, and in the blink of an eye, it flew to a place several hundred feet behind Lin Li.
Within the beam of light, the figure of a toad demon clad in a gray robe was revealed. The toad demon held a cane and was surrounded by a wisp of deathly aura, indicating that its time was running out and it did not have many years left to live.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist."
"Fellow Daoist, you look unfamiliar!"
"I wonder which sect's newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator he is?"
"My Daoist name is Lingchan."
The toad cautiously observed the location of the target, the little demon with the spiritual eye. At this moment, the young boy-like figure in front of the little demon was clearly a Nascent Soul cultivator.
They couldn't even see the other party's true colors.
Moreover, this person's aura is unfamiliar, and he is very likely a newly promoted Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
However, the information in the mind of the spirit toad could not be matched with the information of the few newly promoted Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Southern Yue Kingdom in the past few years.
The only thing we can do is try asking around.
"go!"
At this moment, a fierce glint flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes. He raised his hand, took out a spirit ring, and after casting a hand seal, the jade-like spirit ring instantly transformed into an extremely swift white stream of light, heading straight for the spirit toad.
Swish!
As the white jade spirit ring hurtled toward it, the spirit toad felt a chill run down its spine, as if sharp thorns were aimed at its countless pores.
"Fellow Daoist, wait a moment!"
"I don't know where I have offended you, fellow Daoist, to deserve this!"
The toad hurriedly called out.
He really couldn't understand how Nascent Soul stage cultivators could start fighting over a mere disagreement.
It is extremely difficult for Nascent Soul stage cultivators to kill each other unless one of them has a cultivation level that far surpasses that of the other. Only in this way is it possible to completely annihilate a Nascent Soul stage cultivator of the same level.
If a Nascent Soul cultivator is unable to defeat the opponent, they can always send their Nascent Soul out of their physical body to escape this place.
The speed at which the nascent soul leaves the body is difficult for cultivators of the same level to catch up with.
That is why, unless there is some extremely deep-seated grudge, Nascent Soul stage cultivators will generally give each other face and will not easily resort to violence.
Notice.
Any Nascent Soul stage cultivator represents a massive force with countless intertwined interests. If a conflict were to break out, something terrible could happen to them.
For the forces behind them, there is always the risk of their interests being overturned.
As the white jade ring approached, the toad opened its mouth, and a triangular black pendant flew out. The end of the pendant gleamed with a cold light, appearing to be extremely extraordinary.
But just as the toad was preparing to make its next move...
boom!
A terrifying pressure, comparable to that of a fully mature Nascent Soul cultivator, enveloped his entire body.
At that moment, the toad's eyes suddenly narrowed, and it stood frozen in place as if petrified.
Pit!
Withered Vine Old Ghost!
Wasn't it said that this Foundation Establishment stage demon with the Spirit Eyes didn't have any Nascent Soul stage backers?
Moreover, this little demon's backer is not an ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator, but at least a Nascent Soul stage perfect realm cultivator. Such a master is extremely rare in the entire Southern Yue Kingdom.
Although this person's aura was unfamiliar, his cultivation level was genuine.
Fighting someone like that? He's just an old toad demon in the early Nascent Soul stage. Isn't he just regretting living too long?
The toad's attack was frozen in place, and it could only watch helplessly as the white jade spirit ring entered its sea of consciousness. The white jade spirit ring directly merged into the toad's nascent soul, and a white spirit ring appeared on the nascent soul's chest.
A shackle descended from the void and was immediately applied to the spirit toad's body.
Is it a spirit ring?
The toad immediately understood what was going on.
"Oh!"
"Now that I've reached this age and level of cultivation, I never imagined that a single trip out would turn me into a demon servant."
Lingchan felt bitter and regretful. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would never have run out of the cave.
now.
Lin Chuan then cast a hand seal, which landed on Lin Li's body. The next moment, the magical imprint left by the Nascent Soul stage demon in Lin Li's sea of consciousness disappeared without a trace, as if ice and snow had melted away.
The spirit toad sensed that astonishing binding force. If it dared to harbor any rebellious thoughts, it would likely be devoured and killed by the backlash of that astonishing contractual spiritual power.
We have no choice but to accept our fate.
"Spirit Toad greets its master!"
The toad was very carefree and did not hesitate at all.
The toad was quick to switch identities.
"Tell me, who exactly instigated you to do this?"
Lin Chuan looked at the spirit toad bowing respectfully before him and asked it a question.
"It's that withered old ghost from the cultivation world of Dongming Kingdom..."
In the blink of an eye.
The Spirit Toad then gave a detailed account of his deal with the Old Ghost withered Vine, recounting their previous conversation in great detail.
Lin Li, who overheard the whole thing, felt very fortunate.
If it had happened a little later, with me being just a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, I would have been no match for him at all.
The relationship between the two has certainly changed long ago.
...
...
The Eastern Sea Kingdom.
Near the coast.
As the mark he left inside the little demon with the withered vine suddenly disappeared, he abruptly awoke from his seclusion.
A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
No matter how much spiritual power the withered old ghost poured into the communication jade slip, a series of crackling sounds immediately came from the jade slip, and cracks were visibly spread all over it.
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, the jade slip exploded.
The scattered jade slip fragments exploded all around, but the withered vines unleashed a burst of magical power that enveloped all the fragments and brought them to a location in front of them.
"How could this be!"
"The divine soul jade slip of that old devil, Lingchan..."
The old ghost withered vines had a strange look in his eyes.
But then he sensed that the wisp of nascent soul power he had left in the spiritual demon's sea of consciousness had also been completely erased.
What shocked Ku Teng the most was that there was a white circular mark on the back of his hand.
Ku Teng immediately tried to mobilize the Nascent Soul power within his body to refine that mark, but after more than ten attempts, he failed each time.
"What kind of supernatural power or magic is this?!"
Ku Teng felt a sense of panic.
The explosion of the spirit toad old ghost's soul jade slip was enough to prove that the old guy had died. Combined with the fact that the nascent soul magic power imprint he left in the spirit eye little demon's sea of consciousness was also erased immediately.
The whole process was extremely fast, happening almost instantaneously.
If that's the case, this alone is enough to prove that the little demon with the spiritual eye has a Nascent Soul stage cultivator as its backer, and that the other party's cultivation level is at least at the late Nascent Soul stage.
Oops.
Upon realizing this, the old ghost withered vines was filled with regret; he had truly tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead.
He never expected that such a small Foundation Establishment stage Spirit Eye Demon had such a behemoth as its backer. If he had said so earlier, he would never have dared to lay a hand on that little Spirit Eye Demon.
Now things have really gotten complicated; the two sides have become enemies.
No wonder that little demon with the spiritual eye was able to unleash the magic power of the Core Formation stage with its Foundation Establishment stage cultivation. Such a magic weapon that can unleash supernatural powers and spells beyond its level must be extraordinary.
In retrospect, it is highly likely that it was a bloodline artifact.
Only those of the same bloodline can activate it; it doesn't require much spiritual energy, as most of the power comes from one's own bloodline.
The images of several other late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in their Star Sea immediately appeared in the mind of the withered vine old ghost.
The only option now is to seek help from other late-stage Nascent Soul demons in the Starry Sea. Otherwise, with their mark on him, if they dare to come from the Southern Yue Kingdom, he, Ku Teng, might not even know what kind of death awaits him.
Whenever his gaze fell upon the white jade spirit ring on the back of his hand, he felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his heart.
In the blink of an eye.
The withered vine transformed into a black streak of light, flying away from its own training ground and disappearing into the sea below in a few breaths.
Half a day later.
A place thousands of feet below the seabed near the coast.
Inside the White Jade Dragon Palace.
This place is covered with numerous formations and restrictions, and it has now been occupied by the sea monster cultivators of the Star Sea Clan. Various sea monster figures can be seen with the naked eye within the Dragon Palace.
Ku Teng's figure appeared out of thin air outside the White Jade Dragon Palace. He bowed respectfully at the door and then said, "I am Ku Teng, greetings to Fellow Daoist Bai."
"The withered vine wants to ask Fellow Daoist Bai for help."
His voice was sincere, and he greeted the guests with a polite clasped-fist salute.
A few breaths later.
The array barrier in front of him suddenly opened up, creating a passage that allowed one person to pass through.
Ku Teng was overjoyed and immediately entered the dragon palace without hesitation. The late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator he was looking for was already one of the more approachable late-stage demons in the Star Sea.
He possessed the bloodline of a white dragon, and after leaving the depths of the Starry Sea, he immediately occupied this place. The original owner of this dragon palace was also a Nascent Soul stage dragon.
Previously, this place was inhabited by a white dragon in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
The great demon who came from the Star Sea is named Bai Xuantian.
A withered vine flew into it.
After flying over a hundred feet through the withered vines, the person suddenly felt dizzy. When their vision cleared, they found themselves in a white stone chamber.
Before the stone chamber.
There was a refined old man in white robes looking at the withered vines that had appeared there.
"Please, Fellow Daoist Bai, save me!"
When Ku Teng saw this old man with a profound aura, whose presence was completely imperceptible, his heart sank, and he hurriedly bowed and said.
"Fellow Daoist, please speak, what is the matter?"
Bai Xuantian looked at the withered vine that had come seeking help, a hint of interest appearing in his eyes.
As an old ghost in the early stage of Nascent Soul, this withered vine, although not highly cultivated, is still considered a veteran and experienced cultivator in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
Normally, nothing would cause him to lose his composure like this, and he would specifically come to ask for help from a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like myself.
Then, Ku Teng honestly recounted the whole story in great detail.
"That's easy."
"If it was a mark placed by another late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be easy to deal with."
"It's quite strange that the little demon with the spirit eye has such a powerful backer."
"What a pity."
"They fled to South Vietnam."
Bai Xuantian responded calmly and with a relaxed tone after hearing what the withered vine ghost said.
At the same time, he also became curious about the little demon with the spirit eye.
Just as the withered old ghost had guessed, the Foundation Establishment stage spirit-eyed demon was most likely due to its own bloodline magic weapon, though there were other possibilities as well.
The words were spoken.
With a thought, Bai Xuantian conjured a blue flower basket about half a foot in diameter in his palm. The basket appeared to be woven from strips of crystal-clear blue bamboo.
As soon as the flower basket appeared, an astonishing magical pressure spread in all directions, causing the old ghost with withered vines on one side to shrink his pupils slightly.
However, the withered vine ghost soon returned to its normal appearance.
The next moment, the flower basket magic treasure flew over the top of the withered vine's head, and streams of cool nascent soul magic power flowed out from the flower basket, enveloping his entire body.
When the magical power of the flower basket touched the white jade spirit ring on the back of the withered vine ghost's hand, in the blink of an eye, the flower basket magic treasure seemed to have encountered some kind of natural enemy. The wisp of spirituality that was nurtured on the magic treasure went crazy and poured out the magic power within the magic treasure.
It was frantically poured into the body of the withered vine ghost.
He continuously used his powerful magic to wash away the magical mark on the other party's body.
However, after a dozen breaths, the white jade spirit ring mark on the back of the withered vine ghost's hand was still intact, without the slightest damage.
Instead, a clearly visible white jade spirit ring appeared on the outer side of the flower basket magic weapon.
When Bai Xuantian saw this scene, his eyes were filled with emotion. How could this magic mark be so stubborn, and even split in two, leaving another mark on his magic weapon?
tricky!
Bai Xuantian had dealt with the soul imprints left on other sea monsters who were also in the late Nascent Soul stage several times before, and those soul imprints were very easy to deal with.
Once he unleashes his magic weapon, he can easily eliminate anyone at the late Nascent Soul stage if he personally takes action.
This is truly the first time such a strange thing has happened to this withered vine ghost.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, what's going on here!?"
When Ku Teng saw that the flower basket magic item on his head also had a mark exactly the same as the one on his body, a huge wave of emotion surged in his calm mind.
What the hell?!
Even a powerful cultivator like Fellow Daoist Bai, who is in the late Nascent Soul stage, cannot remove the mark on his body.
What kind of powerful figure is behind that little demon with the bright eyes?
Surely it can't be a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Impossible. There isn't a single Nascent Soul cultivator in the entire Southern Yue Kingdom. The previous Nascent Soul senior in the Southern Yue Kingdom has already fled.
Their Nine-Headed Elder himself said that, and now, the old gods within the territory of the Eastern Sea Kingdom have all chosen to compromise under the pressure of their Nine-Headed Elder, giving up the coastal area of the Eastern Sea Kingdom's cultivation world.
That veteran Nascent Soul cultivator did not want to fight with a fellow cultivator of the same level. His only goal was to go into seclusion in the fifth-order spiritual vein, seeking a chance to break through and prolong his impending lifespan.
