Vol 7 Chapter 34: The Nine Sons of the Heavenly Demon

"It was actually sent here?"

Within the Sacred Spirit Mountain Range, Lin Jing, who was currently in seclusion, also sensed the contract fluctuations from the Mechanized Turtle and couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised. Here, he had discovered several immortal prodigies whose strength was no weaker than his own incarnation's incarnation. Relying solely on the Third Incarnation, he truly wasn't certain he could gain anything from this Immortal King ruins.

However, with the assistance of the Mechanized Turtle, a professional in ruins exploration, he felt much more confident.

"Might I ask, esteemed one, are you a disciple of Sword Spirit Valley?"

At the same time, Wu Lingxi, whom Lin Jing had released, also found the opponent she wanted to spar with. The other party was a young girl like herself, with True Immortal Ninth Heaven cultivation, currently setting up a stall selling swords in the market area between the mountains.

Seeing the other party, Wu Lingxi's eyes immediately lit up. Sword Spirit Valley was the most powerful force in this vicinity, a lineage with three Immortal Kings... Sword Spirit Valley cultivators usually "nurture sword spirits," and during combat, unlike traditional sword cultivators, they rarely attack personally. Instead, with a wave of their arms, various sword spirits fight for them.

Finding traditional Beast Taming Cultivators for beast battles was quite difficult, but if sword spirits were considered as pet beasts, they could barely be battled against.

"Sword Spirit Valley products, every piece is top quality. These lower-grade immortal sword blanks only need to have beast souls sealed inside them. After three years of nurturing, they can cultivate into a peerless sword spirit of the True Immortal realm." Seeing a potential customer, the sword-selling girl enthusiastically promoted her wares.

"Esteemed Fellow Daoist, would you like to buy one? Although it won't make it in time for this ruins trial, by the next one, having a spirit immortal sword will definitely become your best assistant."

Wu Lingxi nodded like a chick pecking at rice, saying: "I don't know how powerful they are. How about you spar with me, Fellow Daoist? We're in the same realm. If you win against me, I'll buy one."

The sword-selling girl frowned and said: "If you're not buying, don't cause trouble."

"Two swords."

"Ridiculous."

"Three swords!"

The sword-selling girl hesitated: "I am a traditional swordsmith who rarely takes action, but seeing your sincerity, Fellow Daoist, I'll spar with you. As you said, if I win, you'll buy three swords."

"Don't go back on your word later."

"Don't worry." Wu Lingxi confidently nodded. The two quickly reached an agreement and flew to a nearby mountain peak.

Lin Jing, who had been using his immortal sense to follow his disciple, saw this and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

"Senior, this girl is my disciple. She merely wishes to find someone to spar with and has no malicious intent."

Sensing a Immortal King level consciousness peering along his immortal sense, Lin Jing slowly spoke.

This fool, didn't I tell her that within this Sacred Spirit Mountain Range, there are two prodigies with Immortal King realm guardians following them?! She needs to be careful when choosing opponents.

How come the first one she picks happens to have an Immortal Lord watching over her!

"This sword-selling girl has an unusual background." Lin Jing shook his head after feeling that immortal sense withdraw. Fortunately, he had now broken through to the Immortal Lord realm. If he were still at the previous True Immortal realm, the Immortal King might have detected the peculiarities of his body.

...........

"Master, you called for me?"

At the same time, on a mountain peak, a blue-robed sword immortal landed before a gray-robed elder.

"Your junior apprentice sister wants to spar with someone. Go watch over her to ensure she doesn't get injured."

"The opponent is also... True Immortal Fourth Heaven?" The blue-robed sword immortal quickly locked onto the traces of the two people and couldn't help but say: "Although junior apprentice sister mainly cultivates the path of sword forging, her strength is certainly not weak. Her lifebound immortal sword is a middle-grade immortal sword. Ordinary True Immortals would not be her match."

"I just observed this girl with my immortal sense and discovered her master behind her is an Immortal Lord realm cultivator."

"Although merely an Immortal Lord, he gives me an unfathomable feeling. The Creation Immortal King ruins only allow entry below the Immortal King realm. The other party must have come for the ruins as well and will be your formidable opponent. I'm sending you to observe the battle so you can understand his situation through his disciple."

After the master finished speaking, the blue-robed sword immortal was stunned. His master was the Sword Immortal King of Sword Spirit Valley, with terrifyingly powerful strength. Today, he actually told him that a mere Immortal Lord gave him an unfathomable feeling?

How was this possible... Sword Spirit Valley's head disciple Xiao Yuheng instantly became serious, focusing his attention on the movements of his junior apprentice sister's side.

"This girl has... Immortal Pupils!"

"Wait, that is, beast control art?!"

As the spar began over there, Xiao Yuheng exclaimed in surprise. He saw Wu Lingxi's dual pupils, one gold and one dark, rippling with light, directly summoning the Great Sun Golden Crow and Nether Crow with Immortal Lord bloodlines, controlling them with pupil techniques.

Immortal Pupils weren't considered particularly rare among major powers, but this was the first time he had seen someone with an Immortal Pupil Physique mainly cultivating the path of beast control.

"She actually managed to gain the allegiance of two immortal beasts with Immortal Lord bloodlines. If her master were an Immortal King, it would be understandable, but an Immortal Lord... how did he accomplish this."

As the battle continued, the sword-selling girl also became exasperated. How did the other party counter by summoning two immortal beasts of the True Immortal realm? Facing these two immortal beasts, she only had one middle-grade sword spirit that could resist them. The remaining lower-grade sword spirits were practically no match at all.

Before long, she was defeated.

"Did you notice anything?" The Sword Spirit Valley's Immortal King asked.

Xiao Yuheng nodded and said: "The cultivation method and supernatural abilities she practices were tailor-made for her Immortal Pupil Physique. Since the disciple is a beast control cultivator, the master is likely one too... and... an extremely powerful expert in the Control Dao."

"Although the Creation Immortal King's Dao is not the Control Dao, it is relatively close to it. Cultivators of similar Daos will find it easier to navigate the trial."

"Thank you for the reminder, Master. Within the ruins, I will be cautious of this person."

Having won a battle, Wu Lingxi was extremely excited and wanted to challenge more cultivators of the same realm. Her situation gradually became known to the True Immortals and Immortal Lords waiting for the ruins to open here.

"What is this girl's background?" Everyone was puzzled, unable to determine which power Wu Lingxi came from.

While Wu Lingxi was testing her skills, the Mechanized Turtle also wandered to the Third Incarnation's side and entered the Third Incarnation's body.

"Why haven't you gone in yet."

Having just arrived, the Mechanized Turtle immediately asked soulfully, questioning why Lin Jing hadn't entered the ruins.

Lin Jing said: "The ruins haven't opened yet. Wait patiently."

"Ah?" The Mechanized Turtle was stunned, thought for a moment and said: "Should we continue waiting? Wouldn't it be more efficient to just charge in directly?"

"This isn't the Lower Realm anymore. Discard those unsophisticated ideas of yours." Lin Jing said helplessly. The Creation Immortal King was a powerhouse at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm. The consequences of forcibly breaking into his ruins would be far more severe than randomly trespassing into those Lower Realm ruins.

"What a pity." The Mechanized Turtle said regretfully. It had just used its immortal sense to probe and analyze, discovering that there might actually be a way to enter early.

But since Lin Jing said to forget it, then forget it.

The Mechanized Turtle was just about to calmly wait for the ruins to open when suddenly, its expression changed. Immediately after, two Immortal Kings also within the Sacred Spirit Mountain Range simultaneously had their expressions change, looking in a certain direction.

"This is...!"

"One of the Nine Heavenly Demon Children, the One-Eyed King, Mo Yuan!" Following a surge of overwhelming demonic power forming a vortex, a demonic dragon flew out from within. Standing on its head was a black-clothed one-eyed youth.

On a certain mountain peak, the Sword Immortal King of Sword Spirit Valley looked at the sky, his expression grim as he said: "The rumors are actually true."

Rumors said that recently, large numbers of Demonic Race cultivators had emerged, plundering the personal fortune of other prodigies. It was precisely because he worried that his two disciples might fall victim to the Demonic Race's schemes that he chose to escort them along the way.

However, what the Sword Immortal King of Sword Spirit Valley never expected was that this Creation ruins, which only allowed entry up to the Immortal Lord realm, would actually attract one of the Nine Heavenly Demon Children at the Immortal King realm. Since the other party's realm prevented entry into the ruins, what was he here for?
