Hu Liang Kun Demon King

Qin Yang trembled with excitement. He had risked entering this place solely for the sake of the Purple Firmament Dao Scripture. He hadn't even considered the possibility of obtaining any other treasures.

Even the Purple Firmament Dao Scripture itself, after entering the Secret Realm, he had almost given up hope. He only wished to obtain a slightly better cultivation method. Among the four grades of cultivation methods—Scripture, Canon, Method, and Art—his bottom line was to obtain a Method-grade technique. A low-grade Method-grade technique was his minimum requirement for Foundation Establishment.

After all, his initial thoughts were good, but after entering, he realized the dangers were immense. Foundation Establishment cultivators were nothing more than cannon fodder here. A moment of carelessness could lead to death, the dissipation of the Dao, and a fate of becoming a corpse with no remains.

He was only at the Qi Nurturing stage. Even with a bit of quick wit, he had no good magical artifacts, no good cultivation methods, and no decent secret techniques to protect himself. If he encountered real danger, he would die miserably under the principle of "one force overcomes ten skills."

He never expected that it was just an instinctive reaction to save the little kid, and later, he couldn't bear to watch the little kid slowly lose consciousness and suffer for tens of thousands of years. Using the skill was only to let him rest in peace...

A little kid who was only a few years old, he never expected to get a Skill Book or anything...

Who would have thought that he would get three Skill Books? The first two were unusable, but the third one was the Purple Firmament Dao Scripture he had dreamed of.

Qin Yang's mind was a bit dazed. Thinking about it now, he had some speculations in his heart.

This little kid was actually cultivating the Purple Firmament Dao Scripture. Then, the father he spoke of was most likely the Purple Firmament Dao Lord.

If he didn't have the "Loot" skill in hand, this Purple Firmament Dao Scripture probably wouldn't have anything to do with him.

A coincidence...

This was an opportunity.

Qin Yang touched the Storage Bag hanging on his chest, muttering to himself.

"Bao Yu, don't worry, I owe you a big favor. As long as I don't die, I will definitely send you back to your father."

After a moment of thought, Qin Yang took out the Storage Bag and then took out the best Heavenly Silk, twisted it into a rope, hung the Storage Bag around his neck, and hid it in his chest, fearing it would be damaged.

After calming his mind for a long time, he finally felt at peace.

Feeling the True Essence flowing within his body, although his realm had fallen to the fifth level of Qi Nurturing, his strength was even stronger than before at the ninth level of Qi Nurturing.

Previously, the True Essence was like a thin mist, but now it was like lead and mercury. Just the True Essence flowing out and dripping onto the ground from his fingertips made a sound and created a small pit.

As the True Essence flowed, it constantly nourished his physical body, internal organs, skin, flesh, and blood, all of which were constantly strengthening. Moreover, without special cultivation, just breathing in and out, the spiritual energy in the air would be automatically swallowed into his body and refined in the blink of an eye.

At this rate, even without special cultivation, lying down and sleeping for half a year would naturally advance him to the ninth level of Qi Nurturing.

Qin Yang himself felt a sense of trepidation. It was too terrifying.

This kind of top-level cultivation method was vastly different from the Azure Cloud Art he had previously practiced. He had heard of it before, but the shock he felt firsthand was beyond description, even more exaggerated than the most exaggerated legends.

Moreover, according to the current progress, if he successfully established his Foundation, the quality and quantity of his True Essence, coupled with the cultivation method nourishing his physical body and warming his soul, as long as he successfully established his Foundation and stabilized his realm, that Shangqing Cloud Piercing Lightning Guiding Secret Method could definitely be successfully cast, which was more than two small realms faster than previously expected.

And that Thunderfire Divine Power was the same, it would be completed at least one major realm earlier.

All of this was based on practicing the Purple Firmament Dao Scripture.

Calming his mind, Qin Yang did not continue to move forward according to the map's instructions. Instead, he found a secluded place, casually dug a cave, disguised it, and went inside to begin closed-door cultivation.

Now that he had found the Purple Firmament Dao Scripture, why would he continue to look for anything else? He would cultivate properly, protect his life, and when his cultivation stopped rising rapidly, he would find a way to leave this place and take Bao Yu to find his father.

Bao Yu had been wandering here for who knows how long and hadn't found him. If the Purple Firmament Dao Lord had really passed away here, would he watch Bao Yu suffer here without doing anything? Would Bao Yu not be able to find him?

Such a strong person, even if he had completely died, as long as there was a trace of divine thought left, it was impossible for him to sit idly by and ignore it for so long.

The Purple Firmament Dao Lord was most likely not sitting here, only leaving and finding again...

Qin Yang couldn't wait to begin his closed-door cultivation...

Outside the Secret Realm, everyone waited quietly at the edge of the cliff, watching for any movement below.

Duole the Ghost leaned back in his rocking chair, squinting his eyes, looking quite pleased. Bai Yunfei was engrossed in a book, while Xu Shen sat there with a sullen face, meditating with his eyes closed, though anyone could tell he couldn't calm his mind. As for Treasurer Qian, he fiddled with his Purple-Gold Abacus, clacking away for a while, then sighing and lamenting...

"Rumble..."

A rumbling sound came in waves, and a patch of darkness spread rapidly from the horizon, like a black curtain being pulled from the edge of the sky, blotting out the sun.

The crowd stood up in alarm and strained their eyes to see what it was, only to realize it was not a curtain at all.

It was the space being forcibly torn apart, revealing a large expanse of void. The rumbling sound was purely the wail of the sky as it was about to be crushed, the turbulent sound of the void colliding with this world.

A jet-black wing, like the Wings of the Hanging Sky, merged with the boundless void, stretching for hundreds of miles.

"Damn it, it seems this opportunity has nothing to do with us..." Treasurer Qian said with a wry smile, shaking his head as he packed his things, looking ready to leave at any moment.

"Treasurer Qian? What is this?" Duole the Ghost asked in alarm.

"This is the Wings of the Hanging Sky, the Hu Liang Kun Demon King, one of the three holy sects of Hu Liang, the Profound Heaven Holy Sect's mountain-guarding divine beast. Legend has it that it has the bloodline of an ancient Kun, spreading its wings for three thousand miles and soaring for eighty thousand miles. It is one of the very few demonic beasts that can directly cross the void. For the Kun Demon King to personally cross the void to escort someone, it seems that a big shot from the Profound Heaven Holy Sect has arrived in person..."

Treasurer Qian's face was bitter, and he retreated a distance decisively, not daring to approach the cliff anymore...

The faces of Xu Shen and Bai Yunfei beside him were even more miserable...

The Profound Heaven Holy Sect, ah, they could crush the Boundless Dao Academy with a single finger. Although the Boundless Dao Academy's backer was also one of the three holy sects, the Spirit Platform Holy Sect, the Profound Heaven Holy Sect was ranked first, while the Spirit Platform Holy Sect was ranked third...

Now that the Kun Demon King had personally escorted a big shot, the Boundless Dao Academy had no chance, and if the Spirit Platform Holy Sect found out about this, they would be in even more trouble.

However, before the big shot from the Profound Heaven Holy Sect arrived.

Everyone suddenly smelled a burst of floral fragrance.

Looking towards another direction, the sky was filled with flower petals, like colorful clouds, covering half the sky.

Countless flower petals gathered into a river, like a torrent converging from afar, and then dozens of flower-bearing celestial maidens floated along the river of petals, followed by eight double-winged dragon horses, pulling a jade carriage shimmering with colorful light, flying along the petal path.

"Eight dragon horses, Five-Colored Seven-Fragrance Carriage..." Xu Shen's face was pale, and his lips were trembling: "The Holy Maiden of the Spirit Platform Holy Sect has arrived in person..."
