I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Chapter 551: Chapter 363: Human Incubation of the Nine Flames, Netherworld Boundary Seal!

To prevent discovery by the Profound Sect, he specifically used the “Shadow Replacement Puppet” from the Sect Treasure Vault. This treasure can reflect a puppet substitute below the Late Stage Golden Core for half an hour, exactly identical to the original. Below Daoist Embryo, no one can detect any difference.

So even the rest of the Celestial Demon Sect were unaware of this, which led to the confusion when they saw “two Junior Brother Bian” in the hall.

“Splash!”

At this moment, the blood bag in the sky churned again, waves of blood surged like tidal waves, flowing into the great cocoon.

The Nine Flames Human Body Embryo has a hundred years left to ascend to Daoist Embryo and break the cocoon on its own.

To forcibly awaken the embryo body now and make it possess sufficient “combat ability,” only the “Blood Sacrifice Technique” can be used.

This blood bag contains countless cultivators and mortals secretly captured by the Celestial Demon Sect over the years, numbering no less than a hundred thousand.

Originally, as the Nine Flames Demon King, he did not wish to do so, but now, with the Celestial Demon Sect in imminent danger, he has no choice.

“Boom!”

As the blood bag infused, the great cocoon beneath the Profound Yin Ancient Wood trembled continuously, and a torrent of majestic momentum surged abruptly.

“Bang!”

Following a thunderous sound, the entire cocoon exploded, revealing a cross-legged, naked young man with black hair and brown eyes.

The young man’s face was handsome, carrying a hint of an eerie charm, exactly identical to the human form of the Nine Flames Demon King.

The only difference was that the young man had no trace of demon qi; only pure mana surged uninterruptedly, his presence ethereal.

However, on his forehead, a strand of Blood Evil Qi lingered like a bone-deep affliction, hovering persistently.

“Blood evil lingered on the brow, yet hasn’t broken through Daoist Embryo; something significant must have happened…”

“Speak, what matter prompted you to awaken me early?”

This Nine Flames Human Body Embryo, in closed-door cultivation within the cocoon, did not lack spiritual wisdom. Its thoughts and intentions aligned with the Nine Flames Demon King but during the nurturing period, it did not receive external memory infusion, unaware of worldly conflicts.

“Reporting to Sect Leader, the Profound Sect has breached the mountain, seeking to seize our Celestial Demon Sect’s millennia-old foundation. The Sect Leader’s true body is absent, and our disciples are weak, difficult to match the Profound Sect’s four Golden Core Cultivators, hence we came to awaken the Sect Leader!”

Master Jiao Sha bowed respectfully, divine thought surged, conveying the sequence of events.

“I understand…”

“A pity, in a hundred years I could succeed. By then, even if Thousand Waves Sect and Cyan Peak Daoist School join forces, I need not fear…”

The young man heard the words, sighed slightly, a deep regret filled his tone.

The Human Body Profound Embryo, its cultivation incomplete, was forced out prematurely, akin to a frail newborn, unsure how much effort it would take to achieve Daoist Embryo again.

But Celestial Demon Sect is in imminent danger, there is no time for many considerations.

The Profound Sect comes aggressively; their foremost task in breaching the mountain and breaking the sect is naturally to slay the Daoist Embryo and Demon King.

Without this confidence, the notion of breaching the mountain and breaking the sect would be a mere laughingstock.

Thus the demon ordered Jiao Sha to awaken him, not only for the Celestial Demon Sect but also to save himself.

“Four Golden Core Cultivators…”

The young man lowered his gaze, reciting the intelligence given by Master Jiao Sha, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He is not a Daoist Embryo, but a Dharma Body of Daoist Embryo, who among the Golden Core can rival him?

…

…

“Be cautious, in one incense stick’s time, we will reach the Inquiry Hall!”

Amidst the vast night, a flicker of blue candlelight illuminated eighteen silhouettes.

In the distance, the world is desolate, mountains entwined, nothing is clearly visible, everything obscured by arrays.

Only under the virtual shadow of the Golden Saber does the light flow, barely illuminating a contour of the mountain.

Within this outline, a towering grand hall flickered with faint spiritual light, visible from afar.

The spiritual light within this hall, though faint, all spiritual qi within a thousand miles flows from this hall, with a sense of myriad methods returning to their source.

This is the location of the Array Hub of the Jiuyi Profound Demon Array, the Inquiry Hall.

At this moment, they have already seen the outline of the Inquiry Hall. In an incense stick’s time, they can arrive and destroy the grand array.

But Master Tiandou’s face revealed a grave expression.

Master Shenyi also furrowed his brows slightly.

Something feels off.

Time is running out for the Celestial Demon Sect, why then is the second ambush still unseen?

Even if the ambush fails, they could still delay them, easing the situation, yet why is there silence?

Dawn is approaching, but the darkness is growing deeper, unsettling.

Master Tiandou and Master Shenyi both frowned.

Sword Fox Immortal also furrowed her brows slightly, seemingly uneasy.

Breaching the mountain and breaking the sect, such a significant event, how can they sit idly by?

Fighting like a trapped beast, still capable of causing harm, does the Celestial Demon Sect’s two sects with Daoist Embryo combat power truly have no strength to resist?

Gu Yuan also sensed a hint of unease, but still glanced down at Sword Fox Immortal, seemingly signaling for him not to worry.

“Clang!”

“Clang!”

For a moment, the world was silent, only the phantom of the golden saber trembled persistently, relentlessly chiseling away at the Grand Array.

The crowd drew closer to the Inquiry Hall, inch by inch.

But at this moment, heaven and earth suddenly brightened.

Numerous blue-green lamps swirled in the sky, like a galaxy, linked from end to end, illuminating the vast heaven and earth as bright as day.

Previously, to suppress the crowd, the Celestial Demon Sect used the power of the array to obscure the world. Except for the path within the Mount Slaying Heaven-Earth Disc, the entire Jiuyi Mountain was shrouded in darkness so deep that one couldn’t see their fingers.

But now, countless blue lights illuminated the sky.

This scene naturally left Master Tiandou and others uncertain and filled with suspicion.

Amidst the endless blue lights, a handsome and strange young man, wearing a golden robe, walked gracefully through the air, leisurely approaching.

Behind him, Master Jiao Sha and others followed like servants, showing utmost respect.

With each step the youth took, the floating blue lamps lowered and flickered, as if paying homage to this person.

The entire Jiuyi Profound Demon Array surged with Spiritual Qi, as if cheering for the arrival of this person.

This scene boasted no intimidating , yet the flamboyant and domineering aura was overwhelming.

“Nine Flames Demon King?!”

At the sight of this person, Master Tiandou and Master Shenyi both exclaimed in astonishment, their faces filled with intense incredulity.

Their faces were imprinted in countless images; he was the current sect leader of the Celestial Demon Sect and the Tier Four high-grade Demon King, Nine Flames Demon King!

If the Demon King has appeared, has the Sect LeaderDean’s plan failed?

Simultaneously, the thought suffocating them surfaced in their minds.

“No!”

But in an instant, both sensed something strange.

The person before them, though his aura was profound and unfathomable, bore no trace of Demon Qi, undoubtedly belonging to the Human Race.

Furthermore, he seemed devoid of the limitless Dao Embryo aura.

Yet… if not for being a Dao Embryo, why would Jiao Sha and others show such reverence?

And why would he dare appear so grandly?

“Four Late Stage Golden Core Great Cultivators, six Spiritual Treasures, Cyan Peak Daoist School and Thousand Waves Sect have really shown their hand. It seems they have long conspired against our Jiuyi Mountain foundation…”

In the youth’s eyes, a flash of red-gold shimmered and vanished, instantly seeing through the number of Spiritual Treasures on several individuals, and he sighed softly.

“Who are you?”

Upon hearing this, Master Tiandou raised the Dragon-Slaying Ruyi and asked in a deep voice.

“Who am I?”

“Could it be that there is someone in this Jiuyi Mountain daring to impersonate my visage?”

Upon hearing this, the youth shook his head softly with a smile.

“Nine Flames Demon King?”

With this statement, Master Tiandou and Master Shenyi exchanged a glance, and a sense of unease arose in their hearts.

“Demon King?”

“This human body of mine is not a Demon King, call me Nine Flames True Person instead…”

The youth smiled slightly.

“You’re not a Dao Embryo!”

Upon hearing this, a flash of blue light flickered across Master Shenyi’s eyes, as he spoke in a deep voice.

“Indeed, I’m not a Dao Embryo, but it’s sufficient to deal with you…”

The youth smiled gently, indifferent to the difference in realm, he leisurely took a step forward, landing in front of the two sects’ crowd.

And this direction, coincidentally blocked the path of the Mount Slaying Heaven-Earth Disc to the Inquiry Hall.

“Boom!”

Above his head, a dark-colored Dharma Seal suddenly lit up, resplendent black light surged like a tide, forming a pitch-black portal behind him.

Beyond the portal, black light surged, connecting to an unknown world.

The youth stood before the portal, with hands cuddled behind his back, smiling at the crowd from both sects:

“If you wish to enter my Inquiry Hall, you must first break my Netherworld Boundary Seal. Do you dare to engage me in battle?”
