122: Chapter 53: The Senior Predecessor of the Heaven Descending Clan 122: Chapter 53: The Senior Predecessor of the Heaven Descending Clan In the southeast corner of the Western Continent, atop the volcanic throne.
King Kuangshan suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of black blood, his robust body trembling incessantly.
— Just now, he had forcibly summoned the demonic spirit, only to be abruptly interrupted during the ritual, suffering a backlash.
The cow demon roared with its head lifted, driven beyond rage, while the horde of creatures at the mouth of the volcano bowed their heads in tremors.
That one “moo,” if translated into the Human Race language, would elegantly be dozens of “unfilial offspring,” while more rudely, it would be “damn it.”
These young humans were pushing it too far!
At the same time, in the East Sea training area.
The wisp of King Kuangshan’s demonic spirit had not completely dispersed, but at this moment, apart from glaring, it was unable to make any further moves.
This wisp of demonic spirit was unfazed by normal spiritual power impacts; the surging spiritual power merely evaporated the miasma.
The bottom of the East Sea.
Li Ping’an had intended to step back behind his fellow disciples, but before he could move, he felt a pair of crimson eyes locking onto him from an unknown distance across the cosmos.
The surging seawater was effortlessly suppressed by the Immortals, and King Kuangshan’s phantom image quietly floated from the center of the recent mystical explosion.
This great demon, with the head of a cow and the body of a human, had a fierce gaze and a burly stature, its mere presence causing the Primordial Souls of the surrounding Disciples to tremble.
Dazzling beams of immortal light flashed by as several Immortals appeared behind the various sect’s disciples.
Elder Yansheng and a few True Immortals revealed themselves, their own formidable presence diminishing much of the cow demon’s pressure.
Seeing that the demon kept its gaze on him, Li Ping’an didn’t understand why, but he also knew he couldn’t show any weakness under such pressure.
One’s Dao heart must remain unscathed, a powerful enemy is but a whetstone on The Path of Immortality.
Li Ping’an spoke loudly:
“This land belongs to the Human Race, evil spirits retreat with ease.
“If your kind dares to venture into the Sea Watch Sect’s territory again, we Qi Cultivators of the Human Race will not let you off!”
The cow demon’s phantom narrowed its eyes slightly and gradually dissipated in the seawater.
The crowd faintly heard it say:
It seemed the Demon King was incredibly enraged.
The Immortals of the Sea Watch Sect were all momentarily stunned, then turned their gazes to Li Ping’an.
Li Ping’an, who had just caused trouble, stood behind Elder Yansheng with a composed demeanor.
Had he said something wrong?
He had mentioned “the Sea Watch Sect’s territory,” since this six-sect training venture was organized by them, and the Sea Watch Sect was the closest major sect to this location, right?
As for being remembered by this great demon…
Wasn’t it all caused by these Sea Watch Sect disciples?
—He was already starting to understand where Bu Linhai’s abnormality had originated.
Elder Yansheng looked at him with a complex expression, reprimanding for the first time via telepathic message:
You just passed up such a great opportunity to make a name for yourself, letting the Sea Watch Sect take the credit!
In the future, in such circumstances, you must declare our own sect’s name!”
Li Ping’an was also taken aback, completely puzzled.
Seemingly noticing Li Ping’an’s confusion, Elder Yansheng explained via telepathy, “Being remembered by a Demon King is an honor for our Human Race’s immortal sects!”
The Immortals from the Sea Watch Sect, at this moment, looked at Li Ping’an with a newfound warmth.
One of the Sea Watch Sect Immortals even clasped hands and gave Li Ping’an a Daoist salute, saying with a laugh:
Come to our Sea Watch Sect to have a few drinks!”
Li Ping’an’s mouth twitched slightly, then he humbly hid behind Elder Yansheng, starting his self-reflection.
He hoped that the cow demon wouldn’t remember his aura and appearance.
It was his own oversight; he assumed that because the sects organized the event with many Immortals for protection, he only used the Hidden Dust Technique, didn’t wear a mask, didn’t change his aura, and didn’t conceal his Primordial Soul.
Let this be a lesson.
After returning, self-discipline and closed-door contemplation for two and a half years were in order, asking his father to pass on power seven or eight times, and striving to break through to the Merge True realm.
From now on, whenever he left home, regardless of the situation, even if it was for a date, he would have to disguise himself in advance.
This place was essentially a world without any regional order.
“Elder,” Li Ping’an inquired, “do we continue our training?”
Elder Yansheng glanced at the unconscious Bu Linhai and smiled, saying:
“I suspect this Sea Watch Sect disciple was momentarily careless, his mind tainted by the residual demonic consciousness of the great demon in this place, hence his excessive action.
“As our Wanyun Sect disciples are unharmed, and considering our fellowship on The Path of Immortality, we shall not press the matter further.
“Let the trial continue…
though there aren’t many demons left in the sea now.”
The Wanyun Sect’s Immortals took to the sky and left, while the two Sea Watch Sect Immortals took the still unconscious Bu Linhai away.
It can’t be said that this disciple’s future is entirely ruined, but seeking care within the Sea Watch Sect in the near hundred years would be fraught with difficulties.
Once the seafloor was calm, Li Ping’an and his three people regrouped in a corner, you looked at me, I looked at you.
Ningning Mu couldn’t help but let out a laugh;
Gu Qingcheng and Yu Yingshu could no longer contain themselves and began to laugh heartily.
Li Ping’an turned his head to look at the floating corpses of the demons on the sea’s surface, contemplating briefly before leading the team deeper into the ancient ruins.
The corpses of these demons could easily attract the demons from the outskirts of the ruins, making the deeper parts actually safer now.
“Elder Brother, are we still going to catch jellyfish?”
“Let’s find a place to meditate and restore Mana first!
You’re getting hooked on catching!”
“Our Wanyun Sect isn’t located by the sea, this place is fun!”
“Go ahead and enjoy yourself,” Li Ping’an said smiling, “We don’t need to worry too much about the rankings in the trial.
Having slain so many demons, we have effectively rescued many mortals, thus satisfying our Dao hearts.”
The three believed his lofty words.
Even Gu Qingcheng couldn’t help but inwardly admire Li Ping’an for his magnanimity.
When evening arrived.
