Chapter 1598: Chapter 542: Eastern Sea Cultivation Realm, an Extraordinary Immortal City Couple!_2
The eyes of Hong Lian revealed a trace of longing.
Although her Northern Origin Cultivation Realm had Deity of Transformation True Venerable,
according to ancient records, the Central State Cultivation World was vast and rich in resources, boasting many Fifth Rank Spirit Veins, prosperous and thriving, a genuine Cultivation Holy Land!
"Central State Cultivation World."
Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly, not particularly yearning for the Central State.
Gold nest, silver nest, it’s not as good as my own small nest.
At home with wife and children and a hot stove, comfortably, why go to such places.
Unless the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm really came to an end and needed to relocate, would he consider it.
...
A month later.
"Boom boom boom—"
Fierce whirlwinds, tsunamis connecting to the sky.
In the depths of the Great Dream Marsh, giant waves crashing skyward, a hundred-foot whirlpool vortex devoured everything, unleashing terrifying power.
Countless fish and shrimp Demon Beasts exploded under the aftershock, dyeing the sea red with blood.
"Golden Peng!"
Amidst the misty tsunami tornado, an intertwining; Yin Yang Divine Light burst forth, tearing open a hideous, awe-inspiring rift.
A man and a woman broke through the water from within.
"Screech!"
Above the firmament, a golden Peng bird appeared, exuding the terrifying presence of a Third Rank Late Stage Demon King, soaring into the sky with the two people, flying toward the Nine Heavens.
"Roar roar roar—"
In the ocean, a giant whale as large as an island and a hundred-foot Flood Dragon burst through the water, carrying overwhelming power, pursuing the golden Peng bird.
However, their speed paled in comparison to the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, and they could only let out unwilling roars.
Ninth Heavenly Gang Wind Layer.
"Indeed, no matter where you are, killing too much always causes trouble."
Lu Changsheng crouched on the Gold-winged Heavenly Peng, looking somewhat disheveled.
Beside him, Hong Lian’s hair was messy, her robe torn, not as noble and graceful as usual.
"We hunted a total of six Demon Kings during these days, naturally incurring public wrath, causing other Demon Kings to band together and attack."
"Moreover, besides the Demon Kings, we’ve slain too many Second Rank Monster Beasts in these days, which led to the accumulation of Resentful Spirit Evil Energy, easily detected by the Demon Kings."
Although the two were in a sorry state, they were not seriously injured, just heavily exhausted.
"I thought the distance was so far, nothing would happen, didn’t expect these Demon Kings to form an alliance."
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
If it weren’t for the extraordinary strength of him and Hong Lian and the assistance of the Gold-winged Heavenly Peng, ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators would likely not survive at all.
"Hong Lian, what is this Resentful Spirit Evil Energy you mentioned?"
He continued to inquire.
"Second Rank Monster Beasts, possessing some measure of intelligence, may form a Resentful Evil Qi upon death."
"This qi is invisible and colorless, but as fellow beast demons or through certain Techniques and Divine Ability, it can be sensed."
"Considering how many beasts we’ve slain over these days, naturally some has accumulated and tainted us."
Hong Lian cast a Cleansing Technique toward herself and Lu Changsheng, tidying her messy hair and dress, and said with a light smile.
Although their escape was somewhat disheveled, she still found it quite enjoyable.
"This Resentful Spirit Evil Energy, apart from being detected by kindred beasts, does it have any side effects?"
Lu Changsheng had heard that excessive killing could easily result in a heart demon, or perhaps affect breakthroughs.
"My lord, our Resentful Spirit Evil Energy isn’t severe, it mainly just evokes the dislike of Demon Beasts."
"If it continues like this, once it becomes intense enough, it might affect cultivation speed, breakthroughs, and even increase the power of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation."
Hong Lian looked at Lu Changsheng with gentle, serene eyes, a peaceful smile tugging at her lips.
"Is it that serious?"
Lu Changsheng furrowed his brow.
"My lord needn’t worry, this Resentful Spirit Evil Energy will naturally dissipate over time."
"Moreover, there are quite a few secret techniques to eliminate the Resentful Spirit Evil Energy, like those in the Demon Path that exploit it for cultivation techniques."
Hong Lian said with a light smile, displaying a calm demeanor.
In her previous life, she became a Nascent Soul True Lord, naturally having committed her share of killings.
Besides, the Human Race and the Demon Race are inherently antagonistic, conflict and slaughter are inevitable.
"I see."
Lu Changsheng understood upon hearing this, about the principle of Resentful Spirit Evil Energy.
For instance, as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, a First Grade Demon Beast could no longer affect him with Resentful Spirit Evil Energy.
Even a Second Rank Monster Beast can only cause a very slight effect.
Only by slaying monster beasts of the same level, or human race cultivators, can a certain amount of resentful spirit evil energy be formed.
However, to form resentful spirit evil energy, it must be calculated in dozens at least.
Therefore, in most cases, there is no need to worry about it.
As for those who have truly slain dozens to hundreds of evil stars, such people naturally have methods to resolve the resentful spirit evil energy.
"In that case, let’s first go to Dream Immortal City to rest for a few days and handle some things,"
Lu Changsheng said to Hong Lian.
During these days, they had hunted six demon kings and countless Second Rank Monster Beasts.
The harvested demon beast materials and heaven-earth spiritual materials were numerous, valued over millions, reaching tens of millions!
Not only Lu Changsheng’s Qiankun Shadow-Confining Belt,
but the several storage bags brought along, as well as the Formless Treasure Wheel, were almost full.
Especially the demon king corpses.
If it were not for Lu Changsheng using Yin Yang Qi Grasp to constantly consume mana to store them in the Formless Treasure Wheel, they wouldn’t fit.
"Alright~"
Although Hong Lian had her own ideas, during this journey, she mostly followed Lu Changsheng’s lead.
Even when they hunted too many monsters, which might cause trouble, she merely reminded him simply and followed Lu Changsheng’s thoughts.
Just as the two were about to head to Dream Immortal City, they suddenly sensed two Nascent Soul level magic auras approaching.
Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian immediately became vigilant, ready for defense.
The commotion they just caused might have attracted other cultivators to check the situation and take advantage.
A few breaths later.
Two divine rainbows streaked by, revealing a man and a woman, both Nascent Soul cultivators.
The man wore a jade crown and a feathered robe cloak, with a solemn and steady appearance, his temples slightly silver-white, giving a spotless, all-powerful feeling, revealing Core Formation Middle Stage cultivation level.
The woman had a delicate face, willow-like eyebrows, high-set cloud-like hair, wearing a light purple palace dress, dignified and noble, revealing Core Formation Middle Stage cultivation level.
However, Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian immediately sensed something amiss about this pair of men and women.
"Young master, these two are probably not at the Core Formation Middle Stage, they are likely of Core Formation Late Stage cultivation."
Hong Lian transmitted to Lu Changsheng.
Although she was not at her peak, she still possessed a Nascent Soul and sensed the two’s mana mechanics.
"Core Formation Late Stage..."
Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"I am Meng Wuheng, greetings to the two Daoists. Was the recent commotion in Great Dream Marsh caused by you two?"
The man in the feathered robe looked at Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian, speaking in inquiry.
However, seeing the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng below the two, his deep eyes slightly narrowed.
"The two Daoists, are you not the masters of this Great Dream Marsh, Master Wuhen and Master Cloud Dream of Dream Immortal City?"
Lu Changsheng stood on the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng in a dark embroidered robe, smiling and cupping his hands in greeting.
The Nascent Soul cultivators in the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm were not many, most well-known by name.
Great Dream Marsh, a double Core Formation Middle Stage, a man and a woman, their identities were obvious.
"Indeed, it is my wife and me."
The feathered-robed man nodded.
"I am Wang Lin, and this is my wife Li Muwan."
Lu Changsheng immediately spoke and introduced himself.
Then cupping his hands, he said, "My wife and I came to hunt demons. If it has affected the situation in your Immortal City, I sincerely apologize."
"No need to be so polite, fellow Daoist. My wife and I only detected the deep sea turbulence and thought there might be a beast tide or some situation, so we came to check."
"Since it’s you two hunting demons and hasn’t caused a severe impact, there’s no need to apologize."
Master Wuhen appeared very courteous and friendly.
Not only did Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian find them unusual,
they also felt Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian were not simple.
A Core Formation Middle Stage, an Initial Stage of Core Formation, unexpectedly giving him a sense of unexplained danger.
Especially the golden Peng bird they rode on, which exuded a dangerous aura.
One must understand, the couple was not, as rumored in the outside world, at the Core Formation Middle Stage cultivation level.
But at the Core Formation Peak!
Moreover, the two cultivated a dual cultivation technique.
Even when encountering a Nascent Soul True Lord, they could hold their ground!
In such a situation, the couple and the bird, however, gave them a sense of danger, indicating an extraordinary nature, likely hiding their cultivation level and identities!
