Immortal Taoist Lord: My Cultivation Have No Limits

However, Su Zhi took a sudden turn of the conversation and delivered some unsettling news: “Not long ago, the Tianxu Palace sent a message that a relic site from an ancient demonic force has appeared within the Nine Souls Demon Mountain.”

“This old demon relic appears to be connected with Taoist Xuanming, who claims to be the reincarnation of an ancient demon monarch.”

“Taoist Xuanming activated the site, causing disruptions throughout the Nine Souls Demon Mountain.”

“The Nine Souls Demon Palace and other demonic forces sent their people to the site, but once a certain group entered, the site abruptly closed, allegedly causing countless deaths among the demon cultivators.”

“According to the guess of the Tianxu Palace, the ancient demon relic was likely taken over completely by Taoist Xuanming.”

“In a fit of rage, the Demon Monarch of the Nine Souls Demon Palace personally targeted the relic but failed to penetrate its secrets.”

“If this continues, Taoist Xuanming might actually succeed in becoming a Demon Monarch.”

“At that time, with two Demon Monarchs alive in the Nine Souls Demon Mountain, it will spell bad news for our Moon Mansion!”

Su Yu and Luo Qianyu knitted their brows in worry.

The environment of the Nine Souls Demon Mountain is unique. Cultivators who venture in face extreme danger due to the high concentration of toxins, and contamination has left nature’s spiritual energy unsuited for cultivation.

If they exhaust their mana in a major battle, they will need spirit stones to restore it.

Without spirit stones, cultivators would be like lambs awaiting slaughter.

For this reason, cultivators from neighboring mansions usually avoid the Nine Souls Demon Mountain, to stay out of trouble.

Under such circumstances, they are somewhat powerless to counter Taoist Xuanming’s potential achievement of becoming a new Nascent Soul Demon Monarch.

Luo Qianyu pondered for a moment, saying: “The current discord between the Demon Monarch of Nine Souls Demon Palace and Xuanming Taoist is not so bad, as it keeps the Nine Souls Demon Mountain unstable.”

“But I fear that if Xuanming Taoist succeeds in becoming a Demon Monarch, they might reconcile.”

“Then, the Nine Souls Demon Mountain, with its two Demon Monarchs, would pose a significant threat to us at Moon Mansion, as well as Violet Light Mansion and Phoenix Fall Mansion.”

Sitting beside Luo Qianyu, Su Yu remained silent for a while. Suddenly, he said, “Now that the wars outside have largely settled, I need to make a trip out. Be careful while guarding the house.”

Luo Qianyu turned to look at him and asked in confusion, “Where are you going?”

Su Yu said, “I’m looking for the continuation of an ancient cultivation technique. I may have to leave the Moon Mansion, but only this puppet body will leave to search. My true body will remain in Moon Ridge. If there’s any problem, you can wait for me in the Moon Market. I generally appear once a year.”

After contemplating for a moment, Luo Qianyu nodded and said, “Be careful.”

Su Yu said, “Don’t worry, even if this puppet body has an accident, it won’t affect my true body. At most, I’ll just lose a puppet.”

“Furthermore, as long as nothing unexpected happens, even if faced with a weak Nascent Soul True Monarch, I have some confidence in escaping.”

In a short time.

The puppet body left the Yunjian Sect and took a flying shuttle towards the Moon Market.

Sitting across from him, Su Zhi looked at Luo Qianyu. She blinked, covering her mouth as she giggled, “Sister, wouldn’t it be better if I alone guarded the sect? You can go and cultivate at Moon Ridge.”

With a light smile, Luo Qianyu took a glance at her and said, “All you do is talk.”

“Instead of this, why don’t you put more effort into your cultivation? Once you reach the late stage of Core Formation, I’ll hand over the sect to you.”

Su Zhi rolled her eyes and retorted, “Then, sister, you might have to live alone in the sect until you are old. With my talent, even reaching the third stage of the Core Formation would be difficult, let alone the latter stages.”

As they chatted, Luo Qianyu and Su Zhi discussed about the young talents in their sect.

It was about time for them to select several youngsters as potential successors.

It was relatively easier to find young talents, but great successors were hard to come by.

They could only search slowly.

Elsewhere.

After traveling great distances for ten days, the puppet arrived at the Tianxu Palace in the Moon Market, seeking Taoist Friend Xiuyu.

Upon meeting, Su Yu immediately asked, “Taoist Friend Xiuyu, how far along are you in finding the intelligence regarding each Immortal Mansion on the way to the sea region, as I requested?”

Taoist Friend Xiuyu took out a jade slip and said, “It’s not very detailed yet. If Taoist Friend Su needs it right now, it will cost a thousand medium-grade spirit stones.”

Without hesitation, Su Yu took out a thousand medium-grade spirit stones and handed them over in a Qiankun Bag.

Gathering this intelligence was far from easy, and compared to simply collecting information about the Moon Mansion or nearby Immortal Mansions, much harder. A thousand medium-grade spirit stones was not too much to ask.

After receiving the intelligence from Taoist Friend Xiuyu, Su Yu returned to his cave dwelling in the Yu Family to review the information in the jade slip alone.

As Su Yu sent his Divine Sense into it, a torrent of information abruptly entered his mind.

After a good while.

Su Yu opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance in his eyes. The journey to the sea region was indeed not a close one, but it was not as far as he had imagined. Previously, Ma Shiqing had mentioned that traveling to the sea region using a flying boat might take four to five years.
