Chapter 428 Cooperation
Looking down at Lanruo Temple, Gu Yuchuan saw that without the tree demon, the ghostly and demonic energy began to dissipate. With a wave of his hand, a piece of thousand-year-old wood appeared in his palm.
This is the essence of a Nascent Soul stage demon! It can be used to refine top-grade magic weapons. If some other precious ingredients are added, it's not impossible to refine it into a half-step spiritual treasure.
A half-step spiritual treasure is enough for a Nascent Soul cultivator to be invincible among those of the same realm. Even the Fox Fairy and Venerable Yunluan, who are at the Divine Transformation stage, only possess half-step spiritual treasures. In the Azure Cloud Realm, only the Demon Venerable and the Celestial Master have true spiritual treasures.
Just as he was about to leave, a clear voice, tinged with sadness, rang out.
"Senior, thank you for saving my life. However, Xiaoqian has no idea where to go. There is no way forward for Xiaoqian. Please show me a way to survive."
Xiaoqian knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, tears streaming down her face; it was truly heartbreaking to see such a beautiful woman.
In fact, Gu Yuchuan initially chose to let Xiaoqian go because she was kind-hearted and gave him a way out. But now, he has added a bit of scheming to his mind.
He remembered clearly that Xiaoqian had a strong attraction to the Black Mountain Demon. So, could he use Xiaoqian to scheme against the Black Mountain Demon?
He really didn't want to go to the underworld to fight the other party. In that environment, the amount of magic power he could use would be much smaller. Although the chance of him being caught off guard was very small, there was always some probability. He had to make some preparations in advance.
Since Xiaoqian herself asked to be taken in, then she shouldn't blame him for scheming.
"I'll spare your life because of your kind heart. From now on, you must cultivate diligently and follow me. When the time is right, I will show you the right path."
After saying that, he let Xiaoqian possess the thousand-year-old wooden heart he had just obtained, which was a great treasure for ghost possession.
After taking Xiaoqian as his concubine, he chose to leave. His current destination is Mount Shu.
Throughout the journey, he maintained his persona as a savior descended by the will of heaven and earth, killing any demons or monsters he encountered without giving them any chance to survive.
This is for all righteous cultivators in the world to see. If he can gather all the righteous cultivators around him, then killing all the evil spirits will naturally be much easier, and finally killing these righteous people will not be difficult either.
Moreover, he can use some insidious means to make the righteous path and the evil path perish together. At that time, the world will naturally fall into his hands. Therefore, this trip to Mount Shu is extremely important.
Shushan is the leader of the righteous path in the world of Liaozhai. If they are obedient, they can naturally gather all the righteous cultivators around Gu Yuchuan.
Ten days later, he arrived as promised. Mount Shu had prepared a grand spectacle. As expected of the last righteous path core in the world, it was still filled with a light and ethereal atmosphere, a feeling completely different from other places.
A celestial light suddenly appeared, cranes cleared the way, golden lotuses sprang from the ground, and two old men emerged from the mountain. One had white hair and a youthful face, wore a Taoist robe, and held a whisk in his hand.
The other was dressed in a monk's robe, with a faint Buddhist light appearing behind him. His eyes were compassionate and magnanimous. Both of them were cultivators at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, just like Gu Yuchuan.
It seems that the status of the people in the Liaozhai world is really not low. There are two righteous cultivators who are suppressed and have no power to resist, not to mention the demons who have an infinite advantage, and there may even be some who are at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
These two cultivators are Xinghe Sword Immortal from Mount Shu and Xuanyou Zen Master from White Horse Temple. Both are powerful individuals. If it weren't for them, the world would truly only consist of demons, and humans would become their food. To the human race, they are guardian deities, hence the faint golden light of merit behind them.
"Lord Dragon God, please come inside."
They prepared a banquet to entertain Gu Yuchuan, and it was clear that they had put a lot of thought into it. The fact that they even brought out some fourth-tier spiritual items under such circumstances showed that they valued Gu Yuchuan very much.
After having a few drinks, Xinghe Sword Immortal spoke.
"Dragon God, when you were fighting the Black Mountain Demon, you said that you were a god born of the Heavenly Dao's destiny, and that you were here to cleanse this chaotic world. Is that true or false?"
Both of them brought up the matter, as it was their biggest concern. They both knew very well that they couldn't save the world; just surviving was already a great achievement.
If the dragon god before them is truly a deity born of destiny, then those on the righteous path still have a chance to fight to the death.
The two stared intently at Gu Yuchuan, who merely nodded slightly. The arrogance of the Divine Path was evident before them. He had only released a small portion of his Cangzhu River Dragon God aura, yet they could already feel the power of the Divine Path.
After all, Gu Yuchuan really is a god, the Dragon God of Cangzhu River, just not the savior of this world.
Both of them had smiles on their faces.
"Lord Dragon God, the righteous path is now in decline, and we can only eke out a living. Fortunately, Heaven has eyes and has given birth to a god like you. Since the world has been downgraded, no dragon race has been born. A few years ago, the last dragon died at the hands of the centipede demon, and the heavens and earth wailed. Fortunately, now, you have emerged."
Gu Yuchuan was shocked. A world downgrade? The current Liaozhai world is a high-level thousand world, so before this downgrade, it must have been a small thousand world. No wonder their inheritances seemed so powerful; it turns out their ancestors were wealthy.
Gu Yuchuan's face remained expressionless. As a deity born of the Heavenly Dao, he was entitled to know these things.
"Gentlemen, I won't say much more. The world is too chaotic these days. My first step is to unify the mortal realm, and the second step is to go to the underworld. Let's talk about the first step first."
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing hope in it.
"Dragon God, in the mortal realm, the strongest is actually that centipede demon. He devoured the dragon and occupied the human royal family. Now he has some of the power of the dragon race and is a cultivator at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage. Of course, compared to a true dragon like you, he is completely insignificant."
Gu Yuchuan nodded, his expression arrogant.
"In that case, I'll take care of this centipede demon, and you can take care of the rest of the demons in the mortal realm. Can you do that?"
The two immediately agreed. Indeed, the only thing they couldn't defeat was the centipede demon. Since Gu Yuchuan had stopped the centipede demon, they could naturally fight freely. There were also many disciples from Shu Mountain and White Horse Temple; if they were all sent out, they could make some achievements in slaying demons and monsters.
"Alright, it's settled then. I'll head to the royal palace now. You all should get ready. There's no need to pack up the banquet here; we'll continue the victory celebration here. I'm off."
