Chapter 1747 Taking stock of the spoils of war from the Abyss of the Beginning Demon

“Next, it’s your turn.” Zhang Xuan looked at the demonic fetus whose aura had stabilized slightly. “I need time to carefully remove the chronic toxins and tracking marks from your body, but we must leave here first and take care of the aftermath of the disappearing scabs.”

Zhang Xuan's side branches were operating at full capacity.

The threads of cause and effect seeped into the remaining traces of cause and effect in this space, and using its own Daoist charm as a guide, forcibly grafted the cause and effect of the blood scab sweeping away the rare materials of this place and escaping.

This is not a long-term solution.

If a high-ranking true demon, skilled in causal deduction and of a sufficiently high status, were to investigate carefully, they might still discover something amiss.

But Zhang Xuan was betting that the unexpected disappearance of the owner of an outer processing plant might not immediately attract the attention and in-depth analysis of the higher-ups in the strictly hierarchical Abyss of the Beginning Demon.

"That's not enough insurance."

Zhang Xuan's heart stirred, and he took out the broken blade of the Life-Slaying Blade.

"With this remnant of my deadly blade, combined with my true intent of annihilation, I slay!"

An invisible and intangible blade, dedicated to severing cause and effect, slashed fiercely at the key causal node remaining in this place!

"Shoot-"

Silently, countless subtle causal connections were forcibly severed and shattered, returning to nothingness.

“With the cause and effect severed, even the most powerful True Demon cultivator cannot deduce that I ever existed,” Zhang Xuan said in a deep voice.

Now, only one last, and most crucial, step remains.

Zhang Xuan activated the "Weaving Principles of All Things," analyzing the residual aura and fragments of the soul from the blood-stained corpse, and began weaving them in an extremely subtle way.

At the same time, his own true demonic body fully simulated the demonic techniques of Bloodscab.

The side branches of Nirvana suppressed their originally vast and unique Daoist charm.

The causal branches began to entangle and cover him with the blood scab.

Zhang Xuan's figure began to grow taller and stronger.

His face contorted and changed, eventually settling on the sinister look of the blood scab.

More importantly, the aura emanating from Zhang Xuan at this moment was none other than the pure demonic energy fluctuations of the Bloodscarred True Demon.

"So alike, so incredibly alike!" the demon fetus couldn't help but exclaim.

The old hand nodded slightly.

Zhang Xuan stretched his new body, his voice becoming hoarse and sticky: "Time is of the essence. I will leave the Guixu Vessel as Xuejia and say that I have received a secret order to escort a batch of special materials to a certain place for handover. That should be feasible!"

The seasoned veteran had no objections; this was undoubtedly the safest way to escape at present.

He transformed into a beam of sword light, swept up the still-shocked demonic fetus, and disappeared into Zhang Xuan's sleeve, appearing directly in the bone staircase passage leading to the next level.

At the entrance to the passage, two tall guardian puppets stood silently, their eye sockets burning with eerie green soul flames.

Zhang Xuan snorted coldly, waved the token in front of the guard, and said in a hoarse voice, "By secret order, I am going out on official business. Open the passage and do not delay."

The guardian's soul fire swept over the token, confirming it was correct, then stiffly bowed and made way.

They lack intelligence and only recognize authority, not people.

Zhang Xuan used spatial power to envelop the old slickman and the demonic fetus, and through the token, connected them to the teleportation array, directly teleporting them out of the Void Vessel.

What rushed towards them was not the expected void turbulence, but a completely unfamiliar world.

Three suns of different colors hung in the sky.

One round was deathly pale, like bone; another was dark red like congealed blood; and yet another was eerie green like will-o'-the-wisp.

Their light intertwined, casting an eerie hue over the entire land.

The air was filled with an even more ancient, primordial energy of chaos.

This primordial energy was violent and profound, containing such high levels of power that Zhang Xuan was secretly alarmed.

"Is this the Abyss of the Beginning Demon?" The old man warily scanned his surroundings.

The demonic fetus collapsed to the ground, greedily absorbing the chaotic primordial energy here.

This was the world he was born into, but it was the first time he had truly seen what the outside world looked like.

Zhang Xuan already knew something about this place through the advance team from the Abyss of Beginnings, but when he actually set foot on this place, he was still shocked.

In the deep, boundless core of this place, he sensed more than one spiritual vein that was purer and more vast than a seventh-order spiritual vein.

"A celestial vein!" Zhang Xuan exclaimed.

In the Abyss of Beginning Demons, above the seventh-order spiritual veins lies the immortal vein.

A low-grade immortal vein can nourish a true immortal and enable them to establish a sect.

A mid-grade immortal vein is the foundation of a cave dwelling that even a Golden Immortal might dream of.

A superior immortal vein is enough to support an existence like the Taiyi Immortal Venerable in long-term cultivation!

According to Zhang Xuan's vague perception at this moment, within a radius of hundreds of billions of miles in this area, there are more than one branch of a mid-grade immortal vein!

As for the deeper reaches, there is a vast source that even his divine sense felt a stinging pain, which is very likely a superior immortal vein belonging to a behemoth power.

"What a magnificent Abyss of Primordial Demons! No wonder it could nurture so many true demons, even the Taiyi Demon Lord. The foundation here far surpasses that of the Nine Divine Realms at their peak," the old slickman exclaimed.

Zhang Xuan began to determine the location of the place based on its topography.

On the distant, hazy horizon, the world seemed to be torn apart.

Half of it is a churning ocean, its waves composed of shattered stars and raging stellar energy, emitting a soul-shaking roar.

The other half is a bottomless, dark canyon from which rises grayish-white frozen air, and translucent ghostly ships can be vaguely seen gliding silently through the frozen air.

"This is the place where the Meteor Demon Sea of ​​the Primordial Demon Abyss meets the Nine Netherworlds and Yellow Springs," Zhang Xuan murmured.

Comparing the fragmented information and maps he obtained from the advance team of the Abyss of the Beginning Demon, he immediately determined that the gray wasteland they were in was the buffer zone at the border between these two terrifying forces.

The laws here are chaotic, the energy is turbulent, and there are unpredictable risks such as spacetime rifts, energy tides, and wandering ancient demons.

But precisely because it is a "no man's land," it may harbor some secrets or opportunities, and it is also the best hiding place for them to temporarily escape the pursuit.

"Let's find a place to stay first," Zhang Xuan said in a deep voice.

They concealed their presence and moved swiftly across the gray wasteland.

This place is not desolate; on the contrary, some spiritual plants that absorb the primordial energy of chaos grow here.

There is the Demon Blade Grass with leaves as sharp as magic weapons, the Blood-Weeping Vine with dark red vines, and the White Bone Forest that grows to hundreds of feet tall.

For Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators, these are all extraordinary treasures.

However, for Zhang Xuan, these things were of too low a level to be of any concern.

After flying for about an hour, they discovered a natural cave on the shady side of a hill half-buried by huge skeletons. Inside, there was a natural barrier and densely covered with weeping blood vines.

“Let’s rest here for a while. Demon Embryo, you should recover as soon as possible. I need you to send these materials back to the Nine Divine Realms,” Zhang Xuan said.

"it is good."

Once inside the cave, Zhang Xuan began to take stock of his gains.

There are twenty-three True Demon-level Demon Source Crystals of varying sizes, each containing the Demon Lord's most core primordial energy and understanding of laws during his lifetime. They can be considered a kind of mutated Immortal Essence Stone.

The seventeen fragments of the Xuan Tian Demon Artifact, comparable to Xuan Tian Treasures, are mostly incomplete, but all are made of extremely rare demonic metal and divine bone.

One of the palm-sized, dark red shield fragments even faintly exuded an immortal aura that made Zhang Xuan's heart tremble; it was clearly a damaged demonic immortal artifact!

Zhang Xuan still has one of these damaged immortal artifacts.

The other item was a fragment of a natal immortal sword seized from the Golden Rainbow Sword Master of the Three Pure Immortal Realms.

As for the earlier fragments of immortal artifacts, they had already been integrated into his Xuan Tian Longsword.

There are over a hundred law crystals that can be used as Dao Source Treasures, covering the Great Dao Laws such as Power, Shadow, Soul, Fire, Poison, Corpse, Bone, Blood, Resentment, and Corrosion.

The reason for such a large harvest is that these crystals are not naturally formed, but are refined and purified by the Guixu Vessel through special means from the corpses of high-level demonic cultivators, special materials, and even the stripped inner world.

Its purity is extremely high. It can not only be used as a rare Dao source object to solidify the authority of the Mahayana Great Dao, but it also has miraculous effects in comprehension, array formation, weapon refining, and cultivation of specific supernatural powers.

There are three rare eighth-tier demonic plants, including the Burning Heart Demonic Lotus, the Myriad Filth Immortal Herb, and the Netherworld Demonic Flower.

Tens of thousands of kilograms of refined magic marrow liquid.

This refined demonic marrow liquid is an unparalleled sacred medicine for demonic cultivators, and can also be used to cultivate certain special spiritual plants or to refine heaven-defying pills.

The seven pieces of Demonic Essence are crystal clear and deep in dark green, with natural and mysterious patterns on them. They are top-grade materials for refining Xuan Tian Demonic Treasures, setting up the Yellow Springs Grand Array, and even assisting in comprehending the laws of life and death reincarnation. They are rare even in the Abyss of Beginning Demons.

There are two complete demonic bodies at the True Immortal level and 30 complete demonic bodies at the Mahayana level.

There are 3 complete secret realms formed by inner landscapes at the True Immortal level, and 10 inner landscapes at the True Immortal level that are still being nurtured.

This inner world, at the true immortal level, is priceless to cultivators in the Immortal Gourd Realm.

Of all the nine divine realms, only the Immortal Gourd Realm has a complete inner world at the True Immortal level, which is the Time-Space Secret Realm.

Because time flows differently inside and outside the secret realm, a year of cultivation inside the secret realm is equivalent to only one day in the outside world.

The old fox cultivated himself inside for hundreds of years and successfully advanced to the Mahayana stage.

The reason why this secret realm of time and space has been preserved intact is because the Great Dao of Time cultivated by the Time Mark Demon Lord is quite special, and it was formed by accident.

He learned from the demonic fetus that it was quite difficult to create such a secret realm.

It is necessary to completely peel away and restore the inner world of the myriad phenomena that the True Immortal had captured.

Next, various rare and precious natural materials are injected into the inner world, which takes a long time to nurture and form.

Zhang Xuan's journey yielded three complete secret realms, a truly remarkable achievement.

Other miscellaneous items include a large quantity of high-grade demonic body materials, high-purity demonic crystals, jade slips recording various demonic arts or techniques, and some demonic talismans with unknown functions.

After the inventory was completed, even with Zhang Xuan's composure, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The total value of these resources is comparable to the combined resources of the nine divine realms!

For the Immortal Gourd Realm, which desperately needs cultivation resources, this is like sending charcoal in snowy weather!

"The results far exceeded expectations."

Once the demonic fetus had recovered sufficiently, Zhang Xuan began selectively sending some of the spoils of war back to the Nine Divine Realms.

The black-clad guys over there are ready too.

All the Mahayana and Integration cultivators in the entire Immortal Gourd Realm gathered at the Imperial Palace, eagerly watching what treasures the Lord of the World would send back from the Abyss of Beginning Demons.

Seventeen fragments of Xuantian Demonic Artifacts, including Demon Gold and Divine Bone, which are comparable to Xuantian Treasures, were immediately transmitted to Zhang Xuan.

Aside from Zhang Xuan, Tian Yezi, whose weapon-forging skills were the highest in the Immortal Gourd Realm, was overjoyed to see so many fragments of the Xuan Tian Demonic Weapon.

"Tianyezi, although these Xuantian Demonic Artifacts are fragments, many of them are not seriously damaged. Repair them as soon as possible," Zhang Xuan transmitted his voice through the Demonic Embryo.

"Yes……"

Tianyezi looked at these fragments of demonic artifacts and exclaimed with delight.

Although he can only refine Heavenly Treasures now, he cannot yet refine Profound Heaven Treasures.

However, repairing these fragments of the Xuan Tian Demon Artifact is much easier than refining them directly.

Moreover, studying the methods of forging these mystical magical artifacts would allow him to further improve his weapon-forging skills.

Zhang Xuan still had a fragment of a dark red shield, which belonged to the category of demonic immortal artifacts. Its grade was too high, so he kept it for himself for the time being.

He had more than a hundred law crystals that could be used as Dao Source Treasures, and he directly transferred more than twenty of them.

"These rare Dao Source items are stored in my Zhang Clan Treasury for cultivators in the Immortal Gourd Realm to exchange. Some cultivators who have reached the peak of the Integration Stage or the Mahayana Stage can apply for them," Zhang Xuan transmitted his voice.

The sudden appearance of more than twenty rare Dao Source artifacts filled all the Nascent Soul cultivators present with immense joy.

With these wondrous objects of the Dao, the path to Mahayana Buddhism becomes much smoother.

The Lord of the World's trip has truly opened up a smooth and easy path to heaven for everyone.

Zhang Xuan also directly transferred the seven pieces of Demonic Essence.

"These seven pieces of Demonic Marrow Essence are extremely rare. Da Wu can use them to upgrade that half-step ninth-order Grand Array, the Immortal Refining Array. With these Demonic Marrow Essence, perhaps we can upgrade this array to the ninth order!" Zhang Xuan transmitted his voice.

“Yes…” Zhang Dawu said excitedly.

The Lord of the World actually managed to obtain Demon Essence, a top-tier material for setting up formations, from the Abyss of Primordial Demons.

It can be said that Zhang Dawu has never fought such a rich battle in his entire journey of formations.

Zhang Xuan then teleported over the complete secret realm formed by the inner worlds of three True Immortals.

This shocked everyone on the other side of the Immortal Gourd Realm.

It should be noted that the entire Immortal Gourd Realm and even the Nine Divine Domains only have one Time-Space Secret Realm.

Cultivating in this secret realm of time and space is hundreds of times faster than in the outside world.

It is a secret realm that all cultivators in the Immortal Gourd Realm covet.

However, this secret realm formed from the inner space of a True Immortal is not something that can be used indefinitely.

The immortal foundation within is dwindling with each use, so the number of people inside must be limited, and the area must be allowed to recuperate in order for the secret realm to slowly recover.

With the permission of the Lord of the World, the old slickman cultivated in the Time and Space Secret Realm for over six hundred years and broke through to the Great Ascension stage.

Other cultivators in the Immortal Gourd Realm who want to enter the Time-Space Secret Realm not only need to contribute enough contribution points, but also have to wait in line.

Now, the Lord of the World has teleported three True Immortal-level secret realms from the Abyss of Beginning Demons in one go.

Each secret realm possesses unique divine characteristics depending on the different supernatural abilities cultivated by the True Immortals.

Everyone is eagerly anticipating what kind of wonders these three secret realms, which were teleported from the Abyss of the Primordial Demon by the Lord of the World, possess.

In addition, Zhang Xuan also sent over a large amount of high-grade demonic body materials, high-purity demonic crystals, and jade slips recording various demonic arts or techniques.

With just this batch of items transmitted, the Immortal Gourd Realm will never lack high-end resources for the next few thousand years.

Even if we cultivate a dozen or so Mahayana practitioners, it would be more than enough.

Although the Immortal Gourd Realm had defeated the vanguard teams of the Three Pure Immortal Realms and the Primordial Demon Abyss, the Immortal Gourd Realm had also gained a great deal.

However, those spoils of war are not exclusive to the Immortal Gourd Realm.

The more than three hundred Mahayana cultivators and two True Immortals from the nine divine realms who participated in those two great battles will all be divided among them.

However, the large amount of spoils that Zhang Xuan has now transmitted through the Abyss of the Beginning Demon is exclusively for the Immortal Gourd Realm.

How could anyone not be happy about this?
