I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Bloodline Inheritance

The ox searched in various ways, but couldn't find any trace of Ao Qin.

"Just as I surmised, the sanctity of the temple lies in its inheritance, it wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for the younger generations of the demon race."

"With such protection, this old ox can rest easy!"

The ox transformed into a beam of escaping light and left the divine temple, reaching the top of a mountain after emerging from the ground.

It concealed its aura and waited patiently.

Several days later.

A tiger demon from the great demon race, chased by a mystical beast, fled in a panic and by mistake ascended to the Nameless Peak.

"That was close!"

The tiger demon took out a Spirit Medicine and swallowed it, quickly restoring its mana, and felt a terrifying presence around it that was subtle yet palpable.

"With terrifying mystical beasts in all directions, what should I do?"

"After all the difficulty in seizing this opportunity, am I just supposed to wait here helplessly for ten years?"

After thinking for a moment, an idea flashed in the tiger demon's mind, and it quickly formed a spell with its hands, intending to use the Earth Escape Skill to leave the place.

A yellow light flickered.

The tiger demon fell into the earth and upon opening its eyes, it saw an ancient and magnificent temple, unable to conceal the surprise in its expression. Continue your adventure with m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net

"Could this be the Transmission of the Four Spirits... "

Before it could finish speaking, a terrifying presence assaulted it from the corner, and its massive mana anchored the tiger demon in place.

Boom!

The demon's body flew out and embedded itself in the stone wall, with bones and organs shattered.

The tiger demon still clung to a sliver of life, and upon seeing the approaching ox, it exclaimed in horror, "Demon King..."

"Tsk tsk, the immortal was right, fighting with a realm suppression is indeed satisfying!"

The ox followed Zhou Yi's instructions, prioritizing sneak attacks in combat, and against the great demons of the Imperial Clan's bloodline, aimed to leave them just half-dead to avoid leaving any marks of revenge.

With a wave of its hand, the ox sealed the tiger demon, then grabbing it, the ox escaped to the surface and flung the demon several miles away.

Before the tiger demon could hit the ground, a beast tens of meters tall leapt into the air and swallowed it whole.

Half a month later.

The ox was growing somewhat anxious in its wait, having already lured away another Demon King mid-wait—should the other return to check, it would surely become suspicious.

"Why haven't my third and fourth brothers and fifth brother arrived yet?"

Approaching noon.

Three figures followed a safe route, hobbling towards the mountain peak, the black tiger missing an ear, the Golden Eagle with a broken wing, and the tortoise chancellor in the worst shape.

The tortoise shell had split into four sections from the center—if the attack had been a bit stronger, its demon body would have been torn apart.

"Finally, we've arrived! Once I obtain the inheritance of the Four Spirits, I'll definitely stew that Flying Bear!"

The tortoise chancellor cursed and complained; it had followed Zhou Yi's advice to sneak carefully and should have already been at this location, but it encountered the Flying Bear Demon King along the way.

The Flying Bear Demon King had long harbored grievances against the Cloud-Rubbing Five Saints, and dared not provoke Zhou Yi or the ox outside. Now, upon running into the solitary tortoise chancellor, it immediately sought to take its life.

Luckily, the Golden Eagle and the black tiger passed by—the three demons relied on their familiarity with the map to contend with the Flying Bear, eventually luring it into an area where Spiritual Medicine grew, and while it fought with other mystical beasts, they finally managed to escape with their lives.

Upon hearing the commotion, the ox descended atop the mountain peak amidst a beam of escaping light and urged, "The vengeance against the Flying Bear can wait for another day, quickly go and accept the inheritance of the Four Spirits."

"Boss Ox, have you already received the inheritance?"

The tortoise chancellor asked with confusion, "There hasn't been any change in aura, could the immortal have guessed wrong? Is it not a transformation of our bloodlines?"

The ox shook its head and said, "There was a Dragon Whelp whose luck defied the heavens, now only three inheritances remain, just enough for the three of you."

Roar! Screech!

The black tiger and the Golden Eagle shook their heads repeatedly, refusing the ox's suggestion.

The tortoise chancellor stated, "Our three bloodlines are ordinary; our accomplishments in the future will be limited. Boss Ox, you've advanced to your current state starting from a mortal body—perhaps accepting the inheritance might lead to you obtaining the position of Demon Emperor."

"Don't dawdle; at any moment, other demon races might arrive, and it will turn into another conflict."

The ox waved its hand, anchoring the three demons, then wrapped them with mana and entered deep into the earth, throwing each of them into the Blood Pool inside the divine temple after arriving.

"If you call me second brother, it's my responsibility to look after you all!"

"Moreover, the immortal said that in this world, unless one has great fortune, it's difficult for there to be any more Daoists or Demon Emperors."

The ox watched as the three demons gradually submerged into the Blood Pool and said with a smile, "I'm just an old ox that tills the land. If the immortal had not rescued me, I would have long been a meal on the plate. How can there be any talk of destiny!"

Divine light shone brightly, and the three Blood Pools turned into bluestone, leaving no trace of inheritance.

"Changing the bloodline's foundation, I wonder how long it will take..."

The ox muttered, "If it takes ten or a hundred years, we brothers can still drink to our heart's content, and by then, the name of the Cloud-Rubbing Five Saints will spread throughout the Nine Continents. If it takes a thousand or ten thousand years, I, the old ox, can only watch from the heavens while you reunite with the immortal!"

Having spoken, he transformed into a beam of light and left.

...

Outside the Sacred Hall.

A gathering of demons was reluctant to leave.

Ten years is but a fleeting moment for the demon race; they would rather sit and wait on the spot.

What if the Sacred Hall fully opened and any demon could come and go? Hurrying back from the cave dwellings then would mean missing the opportunity.

Since the other demons were not leaving, Zhou Yi didn't make an exception either. He found a Nameless Peak to open a cave dwelling and wait.

He divined fortune and misfortune every day.

The Spiritual Divination was unremarkable, despite the grand Sacred Hall right before his eyes.

"The Minor Cutting of Heaven spell isn't truly invincible. It's more accurate during the Golden Core Stage, but becomes blurry during the Nascent Soul Stage. As for matters involving Demon Gods and Demon Saints, even the secrets of heaven are inscrutable."

Zhou Yi shook his head in resignation, knowing that it had to do with his own cultivation level.

In the future, upon advancing to Nascent Soul Daoist, the range of heaven's secrets he could divine with the Minor Cutting of Heaven spell would correspondingly increase a lot.

Time flows like water.

A year passed in the blink of an eye.

The Four Spirits Sacred Hall remained quiet, but the gathered demons showed great patience. Some dozed off in meditation, some brought fine wine to start a feast, and some even called their beautiful wives and concubines from the cave dwellings to celebrate day and night.

Zhou Yi felt the Blood Covenant quiver and did not know why, but he knew the ox had obtained an extraordinary treasure.

"If it's a longevity Spiritual Object, then it should be given to the Demon Emperor. Other rare Spiritual Objects will depend on the situation. However, given the ox's prudent nature, it's likely some sort of ancient Relic. If it attracts the competition of the Demon Emperor..."

Zhou Yi pondered for a long time, then went back to Moyun City to bring over the Formation and Prohibition.

Set up in layers around the cave dwelling, hundreds of Formations intersected, each capable of withstanding at least one strike that had broken the prohibition that day.

"Outside there are Formations and Prohibitions; inside, the Xuanwu Divine Armor. With the transformation into the Golden Eagle, the Thunder Escape, and the Blood Burning Escape Technique all stacked together, even a Nascent Soul elder could only eat dust. Even if there were any accidents, throwing the Spiritual Object away and letting them fight over it to recover later!"

Zhou Yi easily decided on a strategy—survival was the priority, and if he couldn't get the Spiritual Object, he would throw it away.

After that, he studied the Lightning Method daily, nurtured the Mountain and River Cauldron, and the Soul-Calming Mirror, and days flew by swiftly.

...

The ten-year period had arrived.

On this day.

Zhou Yi sensed four subtle auras suspended high above in the sky.

"Demon Emperors!"

"Last time it was just a long-distance opening of the Formation, and now to pluck the fruits, you couldn't resist coming in person?"

Zhou Yi's Divine Sense was strong and far exceeded those of his peers. Only just now did he notice a wisp of aura, while other Demon Kings riding demon clouds waited outside the Four Spirits Sacred Hall.

"This so-called claim of 'taking one's share,' I wonder how credible it is?"

Noon.

The time had come.

Four figures materialized out of thin air, the aura of the Demon Emperor descended thunderously, and the demons waiting below fell like raindrops.

At the forefront was a purple-robed elder with a golden scale glinting on his forehead, flanked by a burly man in tiger skin, a woman in palace attire, and a black-haired youth—three figures resembling humans.

Zhou Yi fell to the ground and, imitating the demons, paid homage to the figures in the sky.

"Greetings, ancestors!"

"No need for such courtesies. Fellow Daoists, let us begin."

The voice of the Dragon Emperor was ancient and authoritative as he waved his hand, releasing purple divine light.

The three other Demon Emperors acted simultaneously, their divine lights merged into one force, striking heavily upon the water curtain Formation.
