The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 1100: Chapter 1091: Countermeasures and Verification of Hypotheses

”Sect Master, how should we deal with the new type of heavenly demons imprisoned in the Immortal Prison? Should they be sent into the Demon Refining Cauldron to be burned to a soul-disperse state?”

After reviewing the jade slip recording Shen Mo’s divine sense, Lu Ming realized the severity of the problem, and his first reaction was to annihilate all captured new type heavenly demons to prevent any accidents from creating several Class VII Great Demons.

”These heavenly demons have low realms; even the strongest among them is only Class IV. It will take at least several hundred years to cultivate to Class VII, so there’s no need to be overly tense.” Shen Mo pondered for a moment before speaking, ”Send them to the Cave Paradise Demon Zone, remove all restrictions, and let them cultivate and grow at will!”

Within Green Cloud Cave, Shen Mo’s will is the worldly will of the Cave Paradise.

He is able to constantly control the state of these new type heavenly demons. Even if a heavenly demon steps into Class VII and cultivates into a Heavenly Demon True Immortal, he can kill it in an instant if he wishes, and no accident will occur.

”’Selfless Sutra’... Let’s call it ’Selfless Demon Sutra’ instead. This method is rather sinister; I need to research it thoroughly!”

Originating from the Selfless Sutra of Taiqing Sect’s Law Master Meng Chenyang, and from the Selfless Demon Sutra within the soul of the new type of heavenly demon, both cultivation methods share the same origin.

But the latter is slightly different and more suited for heavenly demon cultivation. To differentiate the two, Shen Mo renamed this cultivation method.

He has many unclear areas in his mind which require further verification.

For example, is the Selfless Demon Sutra truly so mystical that it can suppress a heavenly demon’s instinctual desire to ”devour blood nourishment, expand itself,” ultimately making it ”desireless and seeking nothing”?

What level of cultivation speed will heavenly demons achieve by cultivating this method, and can all heavenly demons advance to Class VII?

Will the new type heavenly demons’ embodiment of dao as he thinks repair the Immortal Path with the Path of the Heavenly Demon? And so forth.

Besides, Shen Mo has a bold idea, but before that, he needs to fully understand the characteristics of the new type heavenly demon and the Selfless Demon Sutra.

Before Lu Ming received instruction and left, Shen Mo stopped him again.

”Carry my decree and take the Evil Punishing Hall to conduct an investigation, including the inner and outer mountain gates of Red Flame Sect, as well as Fairy Flower Valley, Azure Heaven Cave, Li Mountain Elixir Sect, Heaven Phoenix Palace, and other Xiu Xian Forces. We must find all hidden new type heavenly demons on Five Dragon Mountain. Especially, those disciples who have been in seclusion for long periods must be verified one by one using the Bone Viewing Mirror to observe the soul body inside and out!”

The original mutated heavenly demons will be driven by the instinctual desire to ”devour blood nourishment, expand itself.”

Even high-class heavenly demons cannot escape; they might hold back for a time, but not a lifetime. Eventually, they will use their cultivation and mana to hunt blood nourishment, at which point the Demonic Qi contained in them will be concealed, and they will be detected and exposed by the Earth Yuan Array.

However, if the new type heavenly demons cultivated the Selfless Demon Sutra, their bloodthirsty instinct will be suppressed by this sinister immortal method and will carefully hide their own presence from the sect, focusing solely on cultivating to ”become immortal.”

If they always hide in the cave mansion cultivating in seclusion, not going out for blood hunts, and not moving cultivation and mana, they won’t be detected by the Bone Viewing Mirror suspended everywhere. Even if they inadvertently leak a bit of Demonic Qi, the Formation’s prohibition can cover it up, bypassing the Earth Yuan Array’s perception!

”I will comply with the Law Master’s decree.” Lu Ming bowed, transformed into a bolt of thunder light, and headed to the Evil Punishing Hall.

As it happened, Lady Scarlet was present, so Shen Mo invited Daoxuan Immortal Master from Azure Heaven Cave, Big Moro Yao from Flower Fairy clan, Qin Hu from Heaven Patrolling Temple lineage, and others to Red Flame Sect’s Longevity Hall for a meeting.

Even Shi Nianyao, Tiansuan Zi, and Dou Fei from Zhu Long lineage’s Formless Realm, who were shifting a Lower Grade Immortal Mountain, were invited to manifest themselves.

Shen Mo informed the assembled cultivators about the matter of the new type heavenly demons and requested their complete cooperation with Evil Punishing Hall to find the hidden heavenly demons.

Currently, the Xiu Xian Forces on Five Dragon Mountain, regardless of nominal allegiance, are essentially under Shen Mo’s protection. Moreover, having a multitude of new type heavenly demons hidden within their blessed lands and mountain gates is a significant hidden danger. Naturally, there were no objections.

Once the gathering dispersed, Shen Mo went to inspect the Earth Yuan Array, spending some time making slight modifications to the array’s structure, weakening part of the defense’s power while enhancing the array’s ability to refine Demonic Qi!

The Earth Yuan Array is highly comprehensive, and aside from not being easily moved, it includes effects such as defense, slaughter, bewilderment, and trapping enemies, and can also refine the demonic primal intent. However, the Demonic Qi mixed with nature’s spiritual energy and integrated with it is difficult to completely eradicate, and its content can only be minimized.

The rest requires the cultivators on Five Dragon Mountain to pay extra attention during cultivation to avoid vulnerabilities in the Path Heart being invaded by heart demons!

Additionally, Shen Mo instructed the sect to strengthen the surveillance of mining labor exploitation...

This group of laborers was captured by Shen Mo from Nine Abysses Sea Bliss Island. Most human evil cultivators have died of old age, and the remaining are Spirit Sea Realm and spirit-mature demons and monsters with longer lifespans.

Whether they’re human evil cultivators or demons and monsters, they were all sealed with most of their cultivation, laboring arduously in the mine veins for years. Compared to others, they are more likely to have heart demons emerge, become Demon-corrupted, and turn into heavenly demons. There are quite a few, and caution is necessary!

In Shen Mo’s view, the bizarre method of heart demons actualizing into new type heavenly demons is more formidable than the direct descent of a heavenly demon realm into the Immortal Realm, being even more insidious and nearly impossible to defend against.
