Within Demon-Quelling Mountain

"Truly domineering!"

Far away.

On a hilltop relatively close to Black Mountain, a man looked at the direction of the God-Seeking Abbey with disgust in his eyes and rebuked them.

The man wore a long robe and had long, unruly hair.

A magical sword hangs behind him, making him look like a mortal sword immortal, with Sword Qi Sky-Piercing between his brows.

His cultivation was as deep and boundless as the ocean, immeasurable, and he was clearly at the Core Formation stage.

"This person is Ling Feng of the Siming Sect."

The man looked towards the God-Seeking Abbey, his disgust undisguised, which the God-Seeking Abbey naturally noticed. Purple-Qi True Immortal walked up to Lu Qingfeng and introduced him.

"So it was this person."

Lu Qingfeng chuckled and ignored him.

Given this person's temperament, he'll definitely cause trouble once he enters Demon-Suppressing Mountain. We can deal with him then. For now, it's best to rest and wait for Demon-Suppressing Mountain to open.

"Snort!"

"In the Demon-Suppressing Mountain, we will make him know the power of True Immortal!"

On the mountain where the Siming Sect was located, Ling Feng's eyes flashed with a sharp, cold light, revealing a fierce Sword Qi aura. Clearly, those who cultivated the sword path were decisive and ruthless.

Time passes.

The major immortal sects of the Evergreen Realm flocked to the scene, and renowned cultivators and Reincarnated True Immortals also arrived one after another.

Chang Lin, purple qi, and Xuanyin were all Reincarnated True Immortals, and had several close friends among the True Immortals in the Upper Realm. Having been reincarnated together in the past, they met again and exchanged pleasantries.

For example, the three True Immortals Mo Li, Zuo Jue, and Zhou Buxun of the Heaven-Bearing Sect of Spirit-Emptiness Mountain in the Wei Country.

For example, the three True Immortals Zhang Bei, Yun He, and Feng Ze from the Nine-Qi Sect of Flask Mountain in Ji State.

The two patriarchs, the former being the Heaven-Bearing Grand Deity of the Thunder Ministry and the latter the Nine-Qi Spirit-Seizing Grand Deity of the Thunder Ministry, were both Thunder Ministry Divine Generals of the same rank as the God-Seeking Patriarch, commanding tens of thousands of officials and soldiers, and were closely related.

Therefore, the True Immortals of the three sects of Sou Shen, Cheng Tian, and Jiu Qi also had frequent interactions.

The three members of Chang Lin had long been acquainted with the two immortals who had descended to the True Immortal.

It's just embarrassing to talk about.

Lu Qingfeng had visited both Heaven-Bearing Sect and Nine-Qi Sect in his early years, and had had unpleasant encounters with both sects. Among them, in Flask Mountain, where Nine-Qi Sect was located, a fifth-tier spiritual plant called "Qi-Absorbing Spirit Mulberry" was uprooted by Lu Qingfeng and brought back to General Ridge.

It still grows in Thundercry Mountain to this day.

Chang Lin and the other two went to exchange pleasantries, but Lu Qingfeng would never go over.

As time went by, more and more cultivators gathered outside Black Mountain.

The arrival of the four True Person, Lin Chao, Sima Han, Chen Shang, Luo Ming, stirred up another wave of excitement.

This time, at least two 'good friends' came.

Lu Qingfeng stepped forward and chatted with Lin Chao and Sima Han, and the atmosphere became harmonious. The gathering of the three great True Person also attracted attention from all sides.

A month or so passed in the blink of an eye.

The fog over the Black Mountain gradually dissipated.

This day.

The fog finally dissipated completely, revealing the entire Black Mountain to the cultivators.

Shocking!

Ruined!

It's hard to put into words.

"Demon-Suppressing Mountain!"

Lu Qingfeng looked at Black Mountain.

It was from the three True Immortals, including Chang Lin, that he learned that the seventy-two Black Mountains of Little Seven in the Evergreen Realm were called Demon-Suppressing Mountains. As the name suggests, High Antiquity demons were sealed within the Demon-Suppressing Mountains.

Most of these demons were subordinates of the Evil Dragon, captured by the gods of the Thunder Ministry, and used to suppress and seal the strange mountain.

All for today.

"Demons wreak havoc on the Evergreen Realm, committing boundless slaughter and accumulating immense Karmic Power. Those who can slay demons will be of great merit to Heaven and Earth, and will receive immeasurable Merit and good fortune!"

"True Immortal from the upper realm has descended to the mortal world and possesses such secrets, so he is naturally full of confidence. If he can slay demons and receive the favor of the Evergreen Realm, his Merits will help him, and his cultivation will surely be rapid."

"Returning to the True Immortal is not difficult, attaining the Great Dao of Earth Immortal is within reach, and achieving the Dao Fruit of a Heavenly Immortal Dao is not an illusion."

Lu Qingfeng stared at Demon-Suppressing Mountain.

Whether they are True Immortals, Earth Immortals, or Celestial Immortals.

It all started at Demon-Suppressing Mountain.

"The fog has lifted!"

"Black Mountain!"

"Go inside quickly!"

The mist dissipated, and a deafening roar erupted from all directions. Amidst the clamor, streaks of light and flashing swords rushed towards Demon-Suppressing Mountain.

"Senior brother."

Zhang Wenye stepped forward to ask Lu Qingfeng for instructions.

Lu Qingfeng looked at Chang Lin, purple qi, and Xuanyin. Chang Lin smiled and said, "Teacher, don't worry. Demon-Suppressing Mountain is dangerous, with many passes blocking the way. Ordinary cultivators who enter it probably won't last long before they have to come out."

Before the words were finished—

"Ah!"

"Evil spirits! So many evil spirits!"

"Ah! Spare me! Spare me!"

Screams of agony echoed from Demon-Suppressing Mountain, belonging to the first group of cultivators who had just entered the Demon-Suppressing Mountain.

Lu Qingfeng looked on in surprise. He saw that the light of escape and sword light entering the Demon-Suppressing Mountain had stopped, revealing the figures of cultivators.

His face was full of surprise and uncertainty.

The next moment.

A dozen or so figures appeared, staggering and fleeing. Each of them had disheveled hair and their faces were filled with terror.

Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Lu Qingfeng raised an eyebrow.

What kind of dangers are there in Demon-Suppressing Mountain that could have ravaged Foundation Establishment cultivator to this extent?

Moreover, of the thirty to fifty cultivators who rushed into Demon-Suppressing Mountain earlier, only a dozen or so have emerged. Judging from the screams inside, their fate is likely grim.

Xuanyin shook her head and said, "These cultivators are unaware of the dangers of Demon-Suppressing Mountain. If they rashly intrude, wouldn't they be courting death?"

Lu Qingfeng turned to look at Xuanyin, only to hear her say, "Demon-Suppressing Mountain is a place for suppressing demons. In addition to being sealed off by the sacred mountain, it also High Antiquity demonic calamity."

"These cultivators Resentment Qi and their spirits lingered. Even the Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation could not quell their Resentment Qi. Therefore, the Thunder Ministry Gods sealed them in the Demon-Suppressing Mountain, leaving them for future cultivators to resolve their Resentment Qi and help them find liberation with great wisdom, perseverance, and compassion."

I see.

Lu Qingfeng suddenly realized.

Within the Demon-Suppressing Mountain, the lingering spirits of ancient cultivators exude an overwhelming Resentment Qi. This Resentment Qi forms layers upon layers, and anyone entering it is immediately assaulted by Resentment Qi power. Without preparation or means to resist this Resentment Qi, it is not surprising that one might lose their composure or even their sanity.

"The immortal sects and cultivators of the Evergreen Realm have inherited the teachings of the immortals and gods of the Thunder Ministry, and are masters of Thunder Method. Thunder Method can ward off evil and purify Resentment Qi. If one's cultivation is sufficient, it is not difficult to resist the impact of Resentment Qi."

At this moment, the Purple-Qi True Immortal also spoke up.

Only these lower-realm True Immortals truly understood the dangers of Demon-Suppressing Mountain. Those who rushed to enter Demon-Suppressing Mountain were, on the contrary, ordinary cultivators from the lower realms with no background whatsoever.

Being clueless, I suffered a great loss.

The first batch of cultivators entered in such a miserable state that it truly shocked many cultivators who were unaware of the situation.

On the contrary, the major immortal sects entered at this time with ease.

"Go in."

Seeing that the Six-Eyed Heavenly Gate, the Star-Quelling Abbey, and other immortal sects had already entered, Lu Qingfeng immediately moved his feet and led a dozen or so Spirit Void Cultivators from the God-Seeking Abbey to follow him into the Demon-Suppressing Mountain.

Whew!

Waaah!

Upon entering Demon-Suppressing Mountain, a chilling wind rises, and Resentment Qi gathers into layers of illusions, enveloping and assaulting the soul.

"Yu!"

Zhang Wenye and the others dared not slacken their efforts. They formed hand seals, their bodies crackling with lightning, instantly isolating the Resentment Qi from the outside world, and the illusion dissipated. The yin wind that blew in was also blocked.

However, such precautions are constantly being worn down.

It is difficult to sustain.

"Teacher."

Chang Lin and the other two looked at Lu Qingfeng and called out to him.

Each of the three had a lightning mark in their eyes, flashing with light. Neither the eerie wind nor the Resentment Qi could touch them. Compared to Zhang Wenye and the other Spirit Void Cultivators, they were infinitely more at ease.

"Um."

Seeing the three looking over, Lu Qingfeng immediately understood and said to Zhang Wenye others, "You stay here and purify the Resentment Qi in this place to help the wandering souls find release. If you are unable to cope, immediately leave Demon-Suppressing Mountain to recuperate."

"Yes!"

The cultivators responded in unison.

Lu Qingfeng nodded to Chang Lin and the other two, and headed deeper into Demon-Suppressing Mountain.

From the outside, Demon-Suppressing Mountain appears no different from any other mountain, except perhaps for its more wondrous features. But once inside, one discovers that Demon-Suppressing Mountain is a completely different space.

The surrounding area is teeming with vengeful spirits, and the eerie winds and Resentment Qi are enough to stop 99% of the Spirit Void Cultivators.

Especially for Spirit Void Cultivators at the Heart Movement and Divine Silence levels, being in such an environment can easily lead to the induction of Heart Demon. A single misstep could result in death and the dissipation of one's soul.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators who entered were even more confused, disoriented and disoriented.

Only a Core Formation True Person like Lu Qingfeng, and True Immortal descended to the mortal realm like Chang Lin, purple qi, and Xuanyin, can pass through this with ease.

Zhang Wenye and others stayed behind.

Lu Qingfeng and the other two, including Chang Lin, went deeper into the area.

The Purple-Qi True Immortal spoke up, "The environment of Demon-Suppressing Mountain is both a threat and a rare cultivation environment for Spirit Void Cultivators. If a cultivator in the Heart Movement Realm is determined, they can come to Demon-Suppressing Mountain to quickly overcome their Heart-Demon Tribulations and pass through the Heart Movement Realm. Cultivators in the Divine Silence Realm can also use Thunder Method to refine pure mental power and enhance their divine soul."

The gods of the Thunder Ministry went to great lengths to ensure the cultivation of future generations of cultivators after the revival of the Evergreen Realm.

Perhaps it was all arranged for these immortals who descended to the True Immortal.

Judging by the timing, most True Immortal descended to the mortal realm were in the stages of Heart Movement and Divine Silence at this stage. The Demon-Suppressing Mountain just happened to emerge at this time, and if you say there is no connection between them, Lu Qingfeng would be the first to disbelieve it.

He looked at Chang Lin and the other two.

As the three walked, they were enveloped by a strange aura, which was sometimes visible and sometimes not.

Lu Qingfeng was extremely familiar with this aura.

"Heart Demons!"

A strange light appeared in Lu Qingfeng's eyes.

In order to accumulate experience points, he cultivated back and forth between the Heart Movement and Divine Silence stages more than ten times in the Chiyan Realm. In the Evergreen Realm, during the Second Heavenly Cataclysm, he also cultivated back and forth six times.

He had experienced countless Heart Demons during that time, and was therefore extremely familiar with their Heart Demon.

At this moment, the three of them were exuding an aura, indicating that they were undergoing the Heart-Demon Tribulation!

"As expected of Reincarnated True Immortal, he overcame the Heart-Demon Tribulation while traveling. After this trip to Demon-Suppressing Mountain, most Reincarnated True Immortals will probably be able to reach the Divine Silence level."

Lu Qingfeng thought to himself.

Lu Qingfeng was surprised by Chang Lin and the other two, Chang Lin looked at Lu Qingfeng with surprise in their hearts.

Unlike ordinary monks.

Faced with the yin wind and Resentment Qi, Lu Qingfeng had neither Thunder Method to resist nor Law Artifacts to protect him. But whether it was the yin wind or the Resentment Qi, as long as it touched Lu Qingfeng's body, it would immediately disappear without a trace.

It seemed as if there was an invisible maw on his body, swallowing the yin wind mixed with Resentment Qi directly.

Only.

These vengeful spirits have existed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, their Resentment Qi and malevolent energy making them truly terrifying. Even they dare not allow their Resentment Qi to enter their bodies or their Sha Qi to taint them.

Although Lu Qingfeng was Core Formation True Person with the body of Human Immortal, how could he dare not be on guard against such Resentment Qi and Sha Qi?

The three were surprised and suspicious, but they did not show it on their faces.
