Chapter 558 Kunlun Mountains
"call!"
After accepting the shared memories, Honghuang Chuyang took a deep breath.
The sheer volume of this memory made him feel as if he had lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
When Chu Yang opened his eyes again, he saw the tiger demon celestial being's curved blade slashing towards him.
At the critical moment, Chu Yang's body suddenly trembled, his true energy surged wildly, and he slapped the tiger demon's curved blade with his palm.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the tiger demon's scimitar was knocked away, and its massive body was also forced back several steps, its eyes filled with shock and rage.
It never imagined that this human, who was originally like an ant, would actually hide such powerful strength!
Before the tiger demon could react, Chu Yang launched an attack.
He formed a hand seal and chanted, "Nine Heavens Thunder, heed my command! So be it!"
These are the cultivation techniques shared with the immortal hero Chu Yang, which also contain Chu Yang's insights into thunder magic, meaning that he has cultivated them himself.
In an instant, the weather changed dramatically, and bolts of lightning as thick as buckets descended from the sky, striking the tiger demon with devastating force.
"Awooo—"
Caught off guard, the tiger demon was struck by lightning, letting out a shrill scream as black smoke billowed from its body, and the smell of burnt meat filled the air.
"Again!"
Chu Yang wasn't very skilled at using it for the first time, but its power was not to be underestimated. With his Xuanxian cultivation level, the lightning technique, combined with the lightning laws he had absorbed from Chu Yang, was enough to severely injure the tiger demon in the Tianxian realm.
At this moment, the tiger demon was charred black all over, its fur stood on end, and it emitted a pungent, burnt smell.
The tiger demon stared at Chu Yang in terror, its eyes no longer showing the previous contempt and disdain, but instead filled with fear.
"You are a descendant of the Three Pure Ones... Ah! Stop..."
Chu Yang interrupted him directly with lightning magic, preventing him from saying anything more.
Without the slightest pity, he continued to unleash his lightning magic, and bolts of lightning fell like dense raindrops, completely engulfing the tiger demon in a sea of lightning.
Rumble!
The sky roared with deafening thunder once again. This time, the lightning was thicker and darker in color than before, as if it contained a world-destroying power.
Upon seeing this, the tiger demon was terrified and turned to run away.
However, lightning is incredibly fast; before it could even take a step, it was struck by several bolts of lightning.
A moment later, the scene was completely bare, and there was no trace of the tiger demon.
He was actually blasted into dust by Chu Yang!
"Heh, they actually mistook me for a disciple of the Three Pure Ones!" Chu Yang sneered.
Based on the timeline Chu Yang knew, they were currently in the middle of the Lich War, with the demon race ruling the heavens and the witch race ruling the earth.
However, as time went on, these two major races inevitably broke out into battle, which was the Lich War, commonly known as the Lich Cataclysm.
The demons under the command of many generals of the demon race plundered and killed humans everywhere, and collected human souls and flesh to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword, all in order to deal with the Witch Clan.
The Three Pure Ones had already attained sainthood, and the enormous commotion spread throughout almost the entire prehistoric continent.
The reason why the Tiger Demon Celestial said that Chu Yang was a disciple of the Three Pure Ones was because thunder magic originated from the lineage of the Three Pure Ones.
As the smoke cleared, Chu Yang looked down at his hands. The lingering effects of lightning still lingered in his palms, making them slightly numb.
This power is more than ten times stronger than his previous one!
The tiger demon's enormous body had turned to ashes, leaving only some scattered fragments on the ground.
Chu Yang did not rush to leave, but began to collect the items carefully.
The shattered bone fragments and charred fur still exuded a faint demonic aura; Chu Yang even collected the blood that had seeped into the soil on the ground in a small jade bottle.
These are all treasures for refining pills and magical artifacts; wouldn't it be a waste to waste them?
In the world of Dou Qi, Chu Yang is also an alchemist. After accepting the sharing of Dou Qi and Xianxia Chu Yang, Chu Yang's understanding of alchemy has reached a peak.
In this primordial world, spiritual herbs and medicines are everywhere, making it perfect for him to refine pills that enhance his strength.
Chu Yang also found the scimitar and the tiger demon's inner core not far away. The fact that the scimitar was unharmed after being hit by the Nine Heavens Profound Lightning was enough to prove that the scimitar was no ordinary object.
"This scimitar... it's actually a post-natal spiritual treasure! Although it's only low-grade, it's much more advanced than the weapon I used before!"
Chu Yang weighed the curved sword in his hand; it was icy cold to the touch, and a faint, cold light flowed along its blade.
He casually swung it a few times, and the sound of wind breaking through the air was whistling, making it far superior to his previous stone axe.
"With this knife, the loss can be somewhat made up for."
Chu Yang muttered to himself that the stone axe he had used earlier had been shattered into pieces during his brief encounter with the tiger demon, and he still felt a pang of regret thinking about it.
This inner core can help Chu Yang improve his strength.
He put the scimitar and inner core into his storage bag, then carefully inspected the battlefield again to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything of value before turning to leave.
During this period, the human race lacked everything, and cultivation methods were extremely rare. Although the Taiqing Sage transmitted the "Golden Elixir Method" to the human race, very few people were able to achieve success in it.
He then found a secluded cave with its entrance covered by vines, making it difficult for ordinary monsters to find. Fearing it might be unsafe, he set up a magic array at the cave entrance to conceal his presence.
Sitting cross-legged, Chu Yang began to organize the information he had obtained from the Soul Palace.
Meanwhile, inside the Soul Palace.
"Gentlemen, a newcomer has arrived?" As Devouring Chu Yang stepped into the palace, the Chu Yangs from other worlds all looked over.
"Huh? Weren't you in seclusion to comprehend the fusion laws behind the 'Azure Peak Technique'?"
"I sensed my talent had increased again, so I came to check... Is this newcomer from the prehistoric world?"
Thinking that he was finally no longer the last one, Chu Yang's lips curled up slightly.
The Primordial World is not much different from the Devouring World, but the two have something in common. The Devouring World has the Tribulation of Beasts of Realms, and the Primordial World also has the Tribulation of Immeasurable Countless Tribulations.
"The newcomer is currently only a Profound Immortal, but after refining the tiger demon's inner core, he should be able to advance to the Celestial Immortal realm!"
"A Celestial Immortal isn't enough; one must at least reach the Great Luo realm and then join one of the three major sects to have any means of self-protection!"
"Have you forgotten that after the Lich Wars comes the Gods' Conferred War? Even joining one of the three major religions doesn't guarantee safety!"
As they were chatting, Honghuang Chuyang appeared before them.
"Has the tiger demon been dealt with?"
"Yes!" Honghuang Chuyang said gratefully, "I must thank everyone. Without this 'Nine Heavens Profound Thunder,' not only would I not have been able to kill him, but my life would have been in danger!"
"Haha, don't thank me yet. Just share it with him; it will definitely surprise you!"
Marvel Chu Yang smiled and pointed at Devouring Chu Yang.
Honghuang Chuyang looked at Devouring Chuyang with some confusion.
The two locked eyes, and Honghuang Chuyang felt an immense surge of information flooding into his mind.
A moment later, Devouring Chu Yang regained his composure, while Primordial Chu Yang remained in shock.
"Time, space, the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, wind, thunder, the law of light..."
After a long while, Honghuang Chuyang finally came to his senses.
"This is going to be a huge windfall!" Honghuang Chuyang's eyes shone brightly!
The insights gained from devouring Chu Yang have been completely copied into him.
Inside the cave.
Honghuang Chuyang opened his eyes, and his aura suddenly surged.
After consuming the tiger demon's inner core, his cultivation level, which was originally at the mid-stage of the Profound Immortal realm, suddenly jumped to the peak of the Profound Immortal realm. And it didn't stop there; he eventually advanced to the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm!
The inner core of a Celestial Tiger Demon allowed Chu Yang to advance a major level. Chu Yang exhaled a long breath of turbid air, feeling comfortable and relaxed all over.
"Even if I were a true immortal now, I might not be a match for him!"
Earthly Immortals, Mysterious Immortals, Celestial Immortals, True Immortals, then Golden Immortals, Taiyi Golden Immortals, Daluo Golden Immortals, and finally, Sages.
This is the realm of the primordial world. Although the primordial world does not have the concept of laws, it does have powerful methods such as the cycle of heaven and the great law of cause and effect.
Chu Yang slowly finished his practice, feeling the surging immortal power within his body, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
"Damn demons, prepare to die! I won't be Chu Yang if I don't slaughter you all!"
Chu Yang had no good feelings towards either the demon race that devoured the world or the demon race of the primordial world.
Especially for Honghuang Chuyang, in his memory, the parents of this body were killed by the monsters led by the tiger demon, and the entire tribe, no one knows how many people escaped from the tiger's mouth.
After stopping his cultivation, Chu Yang stood up and, after considering his next move, finally decided to try his luck at Kunlun Mountain.
Sages are present there. The Three Pure Ones have not yet separated, and disciples of the three religions are cultivating together. If one can become a disciple of a sage, one's future achievements will be much greater!
The tribe where Chu Yang is located is within 30,000 kilometers at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, and about 100,000 kilometers away from Kunlun Mountain, which is a relatively long distance for Chu Yang at present.
The journey involves traversing such a long distance, passing through the territories of countless powerful demons and sorcerers—two races that treat humans as food.
But no matter how far or how dangerous the journey, Chu Yang would not give up.
After all, in the primordial world, one's background, aptitude, magical treasures, and powerful backing are all crucial. Chu Yang is neither a naturally born human, his magical treasure is just a newly acquired trophy, and he has no powerful backing.
Therefore, going to Kunlun Mountain is currently the best option.
Fortunately, Chu Yang now has a certain ability to protect himself.
At this time, the Three Pure Ones had only recently become saints, and not all of the twelve Golden Immortal disciples of the Primordial Heavenly Lord had yet come up the mountain, nor had the Tongtian Sect Master truly begun to recruit disciples in a broad sense.
This is Chu Yang's chance.
Chu Yang believed that as long as he demonstrated the corresponding talent, he would definitely attract the favor of the sage.
As for talent, that's the last thing Chu Yang is worried about right now!
With everything prepared, Chu Yang began his journey to Kunlun Mountain.
Three days after Chu Yang left, a Golden Immortal demon descended upon the area where Chu Yang had killed the Tiger Demon Celestial.
This demon golden immortal, Chu Shi, is a subordinate of Jiu Ying, one of the ten demon generals of the demon race. The tiger demon celestial being that Chu Yang killed was one of his subordinates.
"Hmm? The tiger demon is indeed dead. There's still a trace of its inner core here? Who dared to kill one of my Nine Infants' demon generals?"
Chu Shi sniffed the air, seemingly trying to memorize Chu Yang's scent, but several days had passed, and apart from sensing a trace of lightning, he had gained nothing else.
"They used lightning magic to kill the tiger demon. If they weren't disciples of the Three Pure Ones?"
Jin Xian Chu Shi frowned. Since it involved a sage, he dared not act on his own. After taking one last look at the scene, he flew back.
Ten years later.
Chu Yang looked at the Kunlun Mountains in front of him and let out a long breath.
The majestic Kunlun Mountains, like a giant dragon, stretch across the heavens and the earth.
The mountain peaks pierced the clouds, shrouded in mist and ethereal energy. The rich spiritual energy was so intense that Chu Yang couldn't help but take a deep breath, his pores opening up.
"As expected of a sage's sacred site, the spiritual energy here is more than a hundred times stronger than my dilapidated cave!"
Over the course of ten years, Chu Yang did not always bury himself in his studies; he would sometimes stop to cultivate for a period of time.
He has now reached the late stage of Celestial Immortal and can break through to True Immortal at any time.
The journey wasn't entirely peaceful. Chu Yang encountered several demons and took action against them, eventually killing them all.
Among these demons who were killed, the strongest one, who had reached the peak of True Immortal, was also killed by Chu Yang using lightning magic.
The lightning law, which devours the world, also has some effect in the primordial world.
After that battle, Chu Yang was later known as the "Thunder Lord" by the demon race!
Chu Yang secretly admired himself, straightened his dusty clothes, and was about to start climbing the mountain.
"Buzz—"
An invisible barrier, rippling like water, blocked Chu Yang's path.
He reached out to touch it, only to feel a gentle yet unbreakable force pushing him back.
Chu Yang frowned, and, refusing to believe it, channeled his immortal power and punched the barrier.
"Thump!"
With a muffled thud, the barrier remained unmoved, but the force of the recoil sent Chu Yang back several steps, his hand throbbing with pain.
"That's interesting."
Chu Yang licked his lips, about to try again, when a figure resembling a child appeared in front of him without him noticing.
The boy looked to be no more than seven or eight years old, with rosy lips and white teeth, and a delicate, exquisite appearance. He was dressed in an ancient Taoist robe, exuding an air of otherworldly grace and a touch of celestial aura.
"Who are you? Why are you forcing your way into the Kunlun Mountains?"
The child's voice was clear and melodious, like a mountain spring.
"My name is Chu Yang, and I have come to become your disciple and learn your skills." Chu Yang clasped his hands in a respectful greeting.
"To become an apprentice?"
The boy looked Chu Yang up and down, seemingly assessing Chu Yang's cultivation level.
Upon discovering that Chu Yang was only at the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm, he immediately showed some contempt: "You? You think you can become a disciple of a sage? Wishful thinking!"
Over the years, countless humans and demons have come here almost every year, and even some true immortals may not be able to become disciples.
Chu Yang was somewhat displeased, but he remained outwardly calm, maintaining his humble demeanor: "What are the requirements for joining Kunlun?"
The boy snorted coldly: "To enter Kunlun, one must pass a test. And the test is to break the protective array of my Kunlun Mountain."
After saying this, the boy waved his sleeve, and a jade slip appeared out of thin air in front of Chu Yang.
"This jade slip contains information about the mountain-protecting formation. If you can fully comprehend it, you can break the formation yourself and enter Kunlun. If not..."
The boy's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Then you'd better get down the mountain as soon as possible, lest you embarrass yourself here!"
Chu Yang accepted the jade slip without anger, simply smiling faintly: "Thank you for your guidance."
He sat cross-legged and probed the jade slip with his divine sense.
The mountain-protecting formation is indeed profound and unpredictable; it cannot be broken in a short time.
Chu Yang was not in a hurry. He calmed down and carefully studied the profound meaning of the formation.
Time passed day by day, spring came and autumn went, and the seasons changed.
Chu Yang seemed to have transformed into a stone statue, completely motionless and oblivious to everything around him. (End of Chapter)
