"What did you say? Say it again..." Jiuge doubted that she had heard correctly.
Bai Lan was certain that True Monarch Jiuge had heard her clearly, so she handed him another bottle of Soul Nurturing Pill and said with a smile, " True Lord, there's no need to worry, there are plenty of Soul Nurturing Pill."
"You know that's not what you're asking about! Cultivation Method and Divine Ability are the foundation of a cultivator's life, secrets kept by all major powers. Don't you know that?" Jiuge slammed her hand on the table and stood up, her expression furious. "You just casually ask for them, does that mean that Fu Shan, whose life and soul you've taken, has passed on all his knowledge to you?"
"Of course, Elder Fu has been very open and honest with me." Bai Lan smiled and nodded.
"...?" True Monarch Jiuge slowly turned his gaze to Fu Elder Fu: "Could she be your granddaughter?"
"Not so..." Elder Fu coughed lightly. "Sect Master... Sect Master is selfless and generous in passing on her skills and Divine Ability Cultivation Method to her juniors. She is willing to pass on what Pingyi has learned to her, haha."
"Why does the True Lord sigh? Your cultivation has already reached the level of a god. If one day I can rebuild the True Lord's physical body, then the only way for me to face the True Lord is to ascend."
True Monarch Jiuge nodded, but when he thought of what she had learned, he couldn't bear it for a long time.
Bai Lan smiled and said, "If you ascend to the Upper Realm, there will surely be even more powerful techniques and Divine Ability Cultivation Method for True Lord to study. Why bother with those old things now? Why not pass them all on to me and place them in the Spirit Taming Sect 'Library Pavilion? When a destined person appears, they can inherit your mantle and ensure that your legacy continues."
"Hmph, quick-witted."
Ultimately, True Monarch Jiuge compromised.
Elder Fu tugged at Bai Lan's sleeve, pulling her aside. "Why didn't you advise me like this when you asked me to inscribe the Cultivation Method back then?"
"When Elder Fu was following Long Aotian in trying to wipe out my entire family, why didn't he think of abandoning darkness and embracing the light sooner?"
"Hmph, sharp-tongued." Elder Fu stopped talking, looking sad. He then took out the Long Yanran Sound Transmission Talisman and began to contact his good disciple, inquiring about her recent situation.
Meanwhile, outside the Void Stone, a series of actions by Bai Lan brought the originally planned years-long war between good and evil to an abrupt end.
After all, the righteous cultivators lost this battle against the infants.
According to the original plan, this battle between Nascent Soul cultivators would result in the deaths of several Nascent Soul cultivators at the hands of the He Gui. Without the protection of these Nascent Soul cultivators, these sects would relocate to other continents to avoid the war. For a time, Mist Cloud Continent ended up in the same predicament as the Far West, with rampant demonic cultivators causing many Spirit Stone mines to fall into the hands of the demons.
In the end, if it weren't for the fact that the Blazing Fire Sect had produced a Full Power Strike Talisman from a Divine Cultivator to intimidate the demonic Devil Cultivator, and that the Divine Cultivator Ancestor Chiyue, had just emerged from seclusion to undergo tribulation and perished, catching a lucky break in the fall of a Divine Cultivator, these righteous cultivators of the Mist Cloud Continent would have truly had nowhere to go.
It was precisely for this reason that Bai Ling and Long Aotian, the two Child of Destiny, changed maps after the war between the righteous and the demonic, and went to places such as Cangwu Continent and the Boundless Sea Region to continue to encounter the harem and seize fortuitous opportunity.
The situation is quite different now. Although the Demonic Path won, it suffered heavy losses. Not only was it forced to cease hostilities, but it also faced the sudden depletion of 30 million Spirit Stone.
"Elder! Please tell us where those 30 million Spirit Stone stones have gone!" A group of enraged Nascent Soul Cultivator ran to confront He Gui.
"Although Ancestor Chiyue has entrusted the affairs of the Demonic Palace to the Grand Elder, we are also elders of the Demonic Palace. Is there anything that we Demonic Palace cannot know?!"
"We were just about to seize those mines in one fell swoop, why did the Grand Elder order us to retreat and forbid us from fighting against Daoist Cultivator for ten years? What is the reason for this!" The Second Elder of the Demonic Palace looked at He Gui, his anger blazing. "Could it be that the Grand Elder learned that a Divine Cultivator had suddenly appeared in the righteous path? I can't think of any other reason for our retreat!"
Gu Teng True Lord looked at Bai Ling behind He Gui: "I've figured it out. Every time, it's because of saving this woman that my Demonic Palace has suffered repeated losses of resources. First, the Grand Elder gave away my Demonic Palace's mines to the Azure Origin Sect, and then he handed over a lot of my Demonic Palace's Cultivation Resources to North Nether Island. And now it's the same!"
"Let me kill this woman first, lest the Grand Elder continue to be confused!"
"... Anyone who dares to lay a finger on Ling'er will be killed by me!" He Gui, who had been silent all along, suddenly opened his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.
The Nascent Soul Cultivator fell silent again, not out of fear, but out of sheer anger and speechlessness. "..."
"Elder, does this woman named Bai Ling possess some special constitution or extraordinary abilities? Otherwise, why would you treat her with such disdain?"
He Gui smiled wickedly, looked at Bai Ling behind him, and said affectionately, "Loving someone doesn't need a reason. Bai Ling is my beloved wife, that's all."
The Nascent Soul Cultivator who had just spoken trembled, "Is this all...?"
He Gui suddenly became the target of everyone's attacks. In order to avoid the Nascent Soul elders who came to attack Bai Ling every day, he took Bai Ling to a quiet place to heal Bai Ling injuries and help her cultivate. He also entrusted all the affairs to Bai Lan, the most trusted commander of the Demonic Palace guards.
In the past, He Gui would have certainly killed all those who disagreed with him, but he had killed two Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators without any reason, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many Demonic Palace cultivators.
Cultivating a Nascent Soul Cultivator requires a massive amount of resources and time. The sudden loss of two is a devastating blow, and killing them again would be unreasonable. Even He Gui knows that he has handled this matter poorly.
When the Demonic Path path was in chaos, the Daoist Cultivator, who did not understand why the Demonic Path had suddenly stopped fighting, learned that the True Person Bai of the Azure Origin Sect had driven back the Demonic Palace army with a Qi Refining stage woman and coerced the Old Demon He Gui into signing a treaty that for ten years not to fight against the Daoist Cultivator. This caused a huge uproar.
It should be understood that the mindset of cultivators far surpasses that of ordinary people. The higher their cultivation level and the more experiences they have, the stronger their composure will be, and they will not be swayed by external things.
Among cultivators, there are those who are single-mindedly devoted to the Dao, to immortality, to becoming stronger, or even to developing their power. Even those who are willing to sacrifice themselves for their loved ones mostly just burn themselves out to save their loved ones.
He Gui's actions can be described as sacrificing others to save his lover. The incident at Nanyi Mountain enabled Bai Lan to obtain 30 million Spirit Stone and numerous resources, allowing the righteous path to repel a major enemy, and even saving Bai Ling...
So what about the Demonic Palace? What did the cultivators of the Demonic Palace obtain?
