Chapter 624: Chapter 296 30 Years Later_2

Lu Yi listened with an expression of complete bemusement.

This guy was only at the Heavenly Immortal level–did he really want to bring Lu Yi along to increase the difficulty?

“Right, just what is the deal with that Jiuyou Demon? After hearing about Uncle Tianfeng’s news, even the ancestor mobilized, joining my father and the others in heading to the other Jiuyou Battlefields to investigate the situation,” Yu Yuanwu said with a puzzled look.

He had never seen such a large-scale mobilization before.

Lu Yi and the others were all startled.

“Even the old man has gone out?” the Ling Luo Peak Master inquired.

“Yeah, they all have. It’s the first time I’ve seen my father so tense,” Yu Yuanwu nodded. “I asked my mother, but she wouldn’t say anything.”

The Ling Luo Peak Master and the others exchanged glances. It seemed that the Jiuyou Demon was even more terrifying than they had imagined.

Just the revelation of a sliver of its power was enough to alarm so many strong individuals from the Yu Family, even stirring the Immortal Venerable level ancestor.

One could only imagine how fearsome that Jiuyou Demon must be.

……

Meanwhile, in the Sky Falling Star Domain’s most secluded Jiuyou Battlefield, the Mingyuan Battlefield.

The most powerful Jiuyou Demon in this Jiuyou Battlefield had even reached the Immortal Venerable level.

It was for this reason that there were always two Immortal Venerable level ancestors from the Yu Family along with a substantial number of the Star Realm Army’s formidable warriors stationed here year-round, just in case.

At this moment, deep in the Mingyuan Battlefield, cultivators from the Sky Falling Star Domain and the Jiuyou Demon stood suspended in the air, confronting each other.

Leading the way was Uncle Yu Cheng, the Yu Family ancestor who wanted to take Lu Yi as his apprentice.

And across from him was a humanoid Jiuyou Demon with numerous arms, very similar to the one that had appeared in the Zhen’an Battlefield before.

Mists of Jiuyou Qi swirled around the demon, as whispers of Jiuyou continuously escaped, causing great discomfort to many of the cultivators at the Profound Immortal level.

“Insects, if you hand over the Child of Tao, when Jiuyou devours everything, I can keep you as my pets,” the Jiuyou Demon’s mental fluctuations spread, with a tone that was cold and void.

Yu Cheng’s expression was icy as he looked at the Jiuyou Demon and scoffed. “After so many millions of years, you can talk tough when your Jiuyou Channel widens. The Child of Tao is a member of my Yu Family; how could we possibly surrender him to a demon like you? Wait for him to grow up, he will be the guardian of the universe.”

“You’ve missed your chance. It won’t be long now, just a little more time,” the Jiuyou Demon’s mental fluctuations dispersed, followed by the spread of his Jiuyou Qi.

“Kill!”

A brutal battle erupted immediately after.

……

The Ling Luo Peak Master began to go into closed-door cultivation.

Lu Yi and the others likewise returned to their residences for cultivation.

After learning about the strength of the Jiuyou Demon, Lu Yi felt an enormous pressure inside.

If the Jiuyou Channel were to spread, and Immortal King Level Jiuyou Demons broke out, it would be over if no one stopped them.

Others might not be reliable; he had to be diligent in his own cultivation.

Fortunately, the Jiuyou Channel had been stable for many years without accidents–hopefully, it would remain that way for a few tens of millions of years, right?

Lu Yi was confident that with his current foundation and talent, coupled with the various rewards from the task panel, he would certainly reach the Immortal Venerable or even the Immortal King level in a few tens of millions of years.

By then, even if the Jiuyou Channel widened, he should be able to fend off some Jiuyou Demons.

It took nearly a year for Lu Yi to refine the two Acquired Spirit Treasures.

Since the Acquired Spirit Treasures were so powerful and required constant refining time. Yet even for an Immortal Device, it wouldn’t take Lu Yi too long to refine with his current capabilities.

But that was just him–ordinary Heavenly Immortal cultivators couldn’t even consider refining Acquired Spirit Treasures, let alone High Grade Immortal Devices.

After refining the Acquired Spirit Treasures, Lu Yi began his cultivation.

Because he had completed quite a few tasks on the Jiuyou Battlefield during this time, he received numerous rewards for improving Immortal Skill levels, Cultivation Technique levels, and even Law enhancements.

Lu Yi managed to comprehend his remaining Immortal Techniques–Heavenly Gun, Thunder God Introduction, Meteor Technique, and Ice God Descent–to the Extreme Level.

As of now, all of Lu Yi’s Immortal Techniques had been comprehended to their limits.

However, Lu Yi was not content.

He was now capable of comprehending Golden Immortal Skills. If he had Golden Immortal Skills, that would be fantastic.

Especially those involving the Power of Laws, such as the Power Law, Sword Tao Law, and Immortal Law.

If I could obtain these, my strength would increase significantly.

In addition to that, Lu Yi had also brought his understanding of several Immortal Scriptures to the extreme limit of the Heavenly Immortal Chapter.

Because of the deepened comprehension of these Immortal Scriptures, Lu Yi’s understanding of the Tao Yin Yang Immortal Scripture had also improved, elevating it to an even more mysterious realm.

However, it was still slightly lacking compared to the chapter above Heavenly Immortal, the True Immortal Chapter.

Lu Yi felt somewhat helpless; his foundation was indeed extremely solid, but he still knew too few Immortal Scriptures. The Tao Yin Yang Immortal Scripture involved the Power of Tao and was incredibly intricate, requiring a lot of comprehension.

The best solution was to comprehend a few more Immortal Scriptures, use them to make connections, and complete the deductions.

Besides Immortal Techniques and Immortal Scriptures, Lu Yi also used all the law enhancement rewards from his previous task rewards.

Now, Lu Yi’s Space Law, Immortal Law, Sword Tao Law, Ice Law, Thunder Law, Natural Law, Yin Yang Law, Star Law, and so on, had all reached eighty percent completion.

It wasn’t that Lu Yi didn’t want to progress to a higher level.

Based on his own lengthy experience with laws, an eighty percent completion of the laws was enough for him to use for now. At least before reaching the True Immortal Level, it would definitely be more than sufficient.

Aside from cultivating and comprehending, Lu Yi didn’t neglect his understanding of the Alchemy Dao, Array Tao, and the Path of Artifact Refining.

During the remaining time, Lu Yi focused on cultivating the Tao Yin Yang Immortal Scripture, although, in most cases, he was engaging in dual cultivation with Liu Ningshuang and the other three.

Time flew by rapidly, and thirty years passed in the blink of an eye.

One day, Yu Xin and the Yu Family Ancestor, along with some high-ranking members, returned, causing quite a stir.

Upon hearing that Lu Yi had already returned, Yu Xin immediately wanted to see him.

Lu Yi met Yu Xin in his study, and upon seeing Yu Xin, Lu Yi was stunned and somewhat alarmed.

At that moment, Yu Xin looked extremely haggard, with several injuries on his body, emitting strands of Jiuyou Qi.

That Jiuyou Qi was sinister and dense, causing even Lu Yi’s heart to race with fear.

“Master! What happened to you?”

Yu Xin coughed and waved his hand weakly, “I fought a battle with a demon in the Mingyuan Battlefield. Don’t be fooled by my serious injuries; that Immortal Monarch Level Jiuyou Demon was scattered to the winds by me.”

Yu Xin stood up straight, very determined, but then he aggravated his wounds and coughed several times.

Lu Yi’s mouth twitched slightly, “Master, you’re impressive!”

Yu Xin’s mouth quirked, “It’s passable. After all, I was once one of the top geniuses of the Yu Family.”

“Hahaha… Master, let me help you dispel the Jiuyou Qi,” Lu Yi chuckled dryly and suggested.

“That would be good. Tianfeng told me that you can wield the Taoist Energy with ease and can dispel the Jiuyou Qi, so let’s give it a try,” Yu Xin nodded in agreement.

Around Lu Yi, Tao Patterns flashed erratically, with dense Taoist Energy emanating and enveloping Yu Xin.

Almost instantly, the Jiuyou Qi around Yu Xin let out a sharp, incomparable whisper, black mist surged violently, even more so than the Jiuyou Storm Lu Yi had encountered in the Zhen’an Battlefield before.

His face changing color, he immediately wanted to use the Immortal Ascension Technique.

Just then, Yu Xin snorted coldly, and the black mist was instantly suppressed.

Lu Yi’s expression grew serious, his heart shocked.

These were just lingering strands of Jiuyou Qi, yet they were terrifying to such an extent. It was only he, who was able to face such daunting Jiuyou Qi–any average Profound Immortal would probably not last long.

Is this the power contained by an Immortal Monarch Level Jiuyou Demon? Terribly frightening.

Thanks to Yu Xin’s suppression, although the Jiuyou Qi was struggling and twisting, it was still slowly being extinguished.

After one full day, Lu Yi completely wiped away the Jiuyou Qi from Yu Xin’s body.

As the Jiuyou Qi vanished, the wounds on Yu Xin’s body writhed and began to heal at an incredibly fast rate.

It had been the Jiuyou Qi that had been preventing Yu Xin’s injuries from healing.

A moment later, Yu Xin opened his eyes, which flashed brightly. Looking at Lu Yi with an extremely luminous gaze and a face full of smiles, he exclaimed, “Good! Good! Good! As expected of a prodigy endowed with Taoist Energy! In the future, you will undoubtedly be a great enemy of Jiuyou!”

Lu Yi smiled, “You overpraise me, Master.”

Yu Xin waved his hand, “Don’t call me Master.”

“Ah?” Lu Yi was taken aback.

“Just call me Uncle Yu,” Yu Xin said. “By the way, Ling Luo is in seclusion, cultivating for a breakthrough. Once she does, I will betroth her to you.”

Lu Yi: “???”

His mind was full of question marks as he stared blankly at Yu Xin.
