Chapter 447 - 321: Unusual Calamity-Dispelling Technique, East Qiao Mountain!

Gu Yuan waved his sleeve and gifted a Cultivation Jade Scroll of the Origin-Tracing Spirit Prayer Seal to the Heart-devouring Insect.

The Heart-devouring Insect took the Jade Scroll, glanced at it, and his eyes immediately filled with excitement. He promptly bowed to Gu Yuan: "Thank you, Master, for bestowing the technique, thank you, Master!"

The Demon Race’s cultivation places utmost importance on bloodline and root bone. Those born as Exotic Species can cultivate extremely fast, and some with powerful bloodlines are born into the Great Demon Realm.

Yet, those with ordinary bloodlines find it difficult even to develop spiritual wisdom.

The disparity is evident.

Furthermore, bloodline is inherent and nearly impossible to alter after birth.

However, the Origin-Tracing Spirit Prayer Seal can devour Ancient Demon Spirit Qi, enhancing root bone and elevating the bloodline, making its value beyond imagination.

It is undoubtedly a treasure for any member of the Demon Race.

Even though the Heart-devouring Insect has always been confident in his bloodline, he couldn’t help but feel extremely excited when seeing this technique.

"I’m already so powerful; if my bloodline advances further, how incredible would that be?"

At this thought, he could hardly wait to fly out of the hall to seek the Ancient Demon Spirit Qi.

"Do not be impatient. First, refine the Dharma Seal. This Cloud Dream Marsh is an Ancient Spiritual Land; there will always be some Essence Qi remaining."

"In a few days, you’ll accompany me to East Qiao Mountain."

Seeing this, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but chastise him.

"The master’s teachings are right. Little Insect will not delay matters."

Upon hearing this, the Heart-devouring Insect quickly responded, while anticipation rose in his heart.

The Spirit Treasure Cliff was an Ancient Sect; perhaps some Ancient Demon Spirit Qi remains!

...

...

East Qiao Mountain.

This mountain lies in the Eastern Land of Cloud Dream Marsh, a solitary peak hundreds of feet high, surrounded by rapid waters, splashing waves, and continuous sounds of crashing, named East Qiao Mountain due to a stone on the summit resembling a woodcutter.

The Spiritual Qi of this mountain isn’t too dense, nor does it produce Spirit Ore, merely hosting hundreds of fruit trees growing wildly.

In the mountain resides a group of Ape Demons with low cultivation, who usually gather fruits and brew their unique Monkey Wine, enjoying life with long howls of joy at the peak.

But since a meteor shower five hundred years ago, the peaceful days on this mountain have never returned.

The stone resembling a woodcutter on the summit disappeared, and even the entire peak was flattened, smooth as a mirror.

Traces of fire, ice, and marks of blades and axes were spread across the cliffs.

The whole solitary peak remained silent, with only the constant sound of the howling wind and the crashing water echoing.

For a hundred years, it has remained so.

But today, an Escape Light suddenly lit up above East Qiao Mountain.

A red cloud, carrying a scorching heat wave, came openly, landing on the smooth-as-mirror summit of East Qiao Mountain, revealing a robust man with scattered hair, half-dressed, and an open chest.

The aura of the robust man was overwhelming, shooting straight to the sky, his Mana almost uncontrollable and spilling out.

The hard rock under his feet sizzled as he stepped on it, showing signs of melting into slurry.

It was a Peak Mid-Stage Golden Core Cultivation, just a step away from advancing to the Late Stage Golden Core.

The robust man’s pupil light was as hot as the Great Sun, with a scorching might as he scanned the cliffs around, sneering disdainfully: "All just hiding and sneaking, incapable of achieving great things!"

As soon as these words fell, a cheerful laughter rang out from the distant sky: "Not everyone has the means like Fellow Daoist Zhong; those intending to fish in troubled waters naturally dare not reveal themselves!"

With this laughter, a golden rainbow-like Escape Light suddenly arrived, also landing on the summit of East Qiao Mountain, revealing a graceful young man in a white crane mantle, with a Star Crown on his head, holding a folding fan.

The young man looked modest in age, yet his eyes reflected a sense of vicissitude, his smile betraying a wise demeanor.

"In the heat of summer, wearing such a thick layer, don’t you feel hot?"

The robust man seemed familiar with the crane-mantled youth and couldn’t help but sneer upon seeing him.

"Haha, the Treasure Cliff Order may not be obtainable, but the demeanor cannot be lost!"

The crane-mantled youth laughed heartily in response.

"You two Fellow Daoists are early; have you obtained the Treasure Order?"

At this moment, an elderly voice came from afar, followed by an invisible ripple emerging on the cliff, revealing an old Daoist with disheveled hair, wearing a Seven-Star Daoist Robe and holding a shabby Daoist Banner.

The Daoist Banner had five large, twisted characters resembling childish scribbles: "No fee for wrong calculations!"

"Fortune-teller, you’re here too?!"

Upon seeing this old Daoist, both the robust man and the crane-mantled youth furrowed their brows and asked unconsciously.

Seemingly, there were also movements of aura in the Void around the cliff, causing subtle "ripples" to appear.

"Hehe, I cast a hexagram and found that this journey would yield great treasures, so I hurried here to join in the fun!"

The old Daoist laughed slyly, revealing slightly yellow teeth.

"Cloud Dream Marsh’s famous Gua Daoist is here, could you tell who will eventually claim the treasure?!"

Just as the old Daoist finished speaking, a towering jade-green wave, about ten feet high, carrying a group of majestic Great Demons, rushed toward East Qiao Mountain from the rapid waters in the distance.

Behind the jade-green wave were hundreds upon thousands of Little Demons, beating drums, waving Demon Banners, looking grand and imposing.

The group of Great Demons, the one with the lowest cultivation was in the Early Stage of Great Demon, and leading them was a giant, blue-haired, green-eyed man, nine feet tall with a proud posture. Despite his human form, his Demon Qi surged like smoke, rising straight to the heavens.

With the support of numerous Tier Three Great Demons and Little Demons behind him, he was majestic and dignified.
