The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 253 - 199: Stinky Liu Tiao, You Lost!

The two fellows looked at Li Qingming with fear, their eyes brimming with reverence.

The fiery figure and the silver-white figure knelt down in unison before Li Qingming and said, "The spirit of the Demon Refining Pot pays respects to the master."

Li Qingming nodded slightly and with a flick of his hand, the lid of the pot opened naturally. Two bright red drops of blood flew in abruptly, landing directly on the foreheads of the two figures, forming two bear-like marks that were endearing in their clumsiness. Henceforth, the Demon Refining Pot was completely branded with Li Qingming’s mark. freewebnøvel.com

Li Qingming spoke, "This pot is called the Demon Refining Pot. You two are born from it. From now on, you shall be Red Demon Spirit, and you White Demon Spirit!"

The two Artifact Spirits knelt and declared in a solemn voice, "Red Demon Spirit and White Demon Spirit pay respects to the master!"

Li Qingming nodded, and suddenly, a massive amount of information flooded into his Primordial Spirit Sea of Consciousness. The information was disorganized and vast as an ocean of smoke. It included Chaotic God Demons that traversed the Primordial Era, various terrifying exotic beasts, flickering Spiritual Treasures and Supreme Treasures, and countless Forbidden Techniques, Arrays, and magic...

To tell the truth, in all his time cultivating, Li Qingming had never received such an immense amount of information. This also indirectly indicated that the legends of subsequent generations, claiming that the Demon Refining Pot was crafted by Lady Nuwa, were utterly groundless.

He didn’t know how much time had passed when the vision finally came to Pangu’s creation of Heaven and Earth. With that, the torrent of information came to an abrupt end.

"Who would have thought that this Demon Refining Pot is actually a Heavenly Creation Treasure. It’s just that it was damaged during Pangu’s act of creation, which reduced it to the rank of an Innate Treasure!" Li Qingming opened his eyes, caressed the Demon Refining Pot in his hand, and said with emotion, "Rest assured, if I can transcend the Great Dao, I will definitely restore you to the ranks of Heavenly Creation!"

"Buzz!" The Demon Refining Pot emitted a humming sound, and its glossy body released a faint red glow, as if responding to Li Qingming.

Li Qingming chuckled, put the Demon Refining Pot into Qingyun, and then got up to walk towards the grand hall of the Crystal Palace. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he had yet to enter the grand hall when he heard the noise from inside. He stopped in his tracks and listened attentively.

Well, what do you know! A grand Saint, no less, and a top-tier existence in the Primordial World, actually likes to eavesdrop!

At this moment, in the grand hall, the Four Sea Dragon Kings were gathered together, sitting by the Dragon Desk, eating and drinking merrily.

East Sea Old Dragon King Aoguang stroked his beard with a complicated expression, saying, "Second brother, this time Qingmingzi Your Majesty has really done you a great favor! Although our Dragon Clan was compelled by Your Majesty to join the Demon Race, whenever our clan has encountered difficulties time and again, it has been Qingmingzi Your Majesty who has nobly lent a hand. This debt of gratitude, I fear our Dragon Clan may never be able to repay fully!"

"Yes, big brother!" Ao Qin downed a cup of wine and said, "That Black Tortoise has long entrenched itself in the South Sea seabed, without the slightest loyalty to the Dragon Clan. Just recently, it even annihilated the Silver Fish clan. If it weren’t for Qingmingzi Your Majesty’s intervention, we might not have been a match for that Black Tortoise!"

Aoguang nodded and suddenly turned to North Sea Dragon King Ao Shun and said, "Third brother, that Black Tortoise has some connection with that certain one from your North Sea! This time, executing it was a matter of necessity. Even if we were to shatter to pieces, we mustn’t let that one act against Qingmingzi Your Majesty!"

"Hahaha, that one from the North Sea?" Hearing this, Li Qingming burst into laughter as he walked into the hall, saying heartily, "Don’t tell me it’s that Golden Turtle?"

The Four Sea Dragon Kings jumped in fright, almost spilling their cups of wine.

Aoguang gave a wry smile as he rose and said, "Your Majesty, when did you leave seclusion?"

Li Qingming teased as he looked at the Four Sea Dragon Kings, saying, "I heard everything you just said. So, when do you think I left seclusion?"

Ao Shun ushered Li Qingming to a seat of honor and poured him exquisite wine, saying, "Your Majesty, could it be that you are also acquainted with that elderly Golden Turtle from the North Sea?"

Li Qingming picked up his cup, enjoying the delightful sensation of the Jade Liquid flowing down his throat, and told the Dragon Kings, "I don’t know him!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Shun’s face darkened and he thought, "It seems that this matter is ultimately irreconcilable!"

"It’s just that the old fellow sent a message through an elder of mine asking to see me, quite inexplicably!" Li Qingming glanced at the expressions of the Four Sea Dragon Kings and continued, "It happened while I was on my way to the North Sea, encountering this very incident!"

Ao Shun, choked by the wine in his cup, sprayed it out as he laughed bitterly, "Your Majesty, can you finish your story all at once? Since that elder wishes to see you, with his capabilities, he must have already foreseen that his kin would face this calamity, and surely he won’t blame you!"

Li Qingming shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Alright, I’ve come here this time to bid my farewells to the Fellow Daoists! I have tarried here for quite some time, and that Old Turtle must be growing impatient! Your Majesties need not see me off, I know my way!"

Li Qingming had no interest in dragging things out with these old fellows, so he simply conjured a long rainbow bridge and headed straight for the North Sea.

"Big brother, what do you think that Li Qingmingzi came to His Majesty for?" Ao Shun asked, staring at the now-vanished Li Qingming, speaking to the adjacent Aoguang.

"It’s either a blessing or a disaster, and if it’s a disaster, there’s no avoiding it!" Aoguang sighed and said, "With His Majesty’s divine skills, even if Golden Turtle himself took action, he probably couldn’t capture him. After all, we are now in the Primordial World. There’s not so much Chaos Qi for Golden Turtle to cultivate with!"

The youngest of them, the West Sea Dragon King Ao Run, looked at his brothers and said softly, "Let’s hope so!"

...

In the vast waters of the North Sea, there was a piece of land with towering peaks. This land was the confluence of spirit veins spanning millions of miles. On this land, fierce beasts roared, and white beasts clamored. Countless birds flew and sang through the dense forests. Yet surprisingly, this land, occupying millions of miles, had not been claimed by Cultivators as a site for their practices, a curiosity among Heaven and Earth.

Standing in the due south of this island, Li Qingming felt the overwhelming vitality emanating from the small island, along with an energy fluctuation comparable to that of a Saint, and he couldn’t help but nod to himself in admiration: "Truly, a Chaotic Demon God who has not yet fallen! Since the Calamity of Heaven and Earth Creation, his cultivation has only dropped by about ten percent, truly horrifying!"

With that in mind, Li Qingming activated his Yuqing True Essence and shouted towards the seabed: "Senior Golden Turtle, junior Li Qingming has come at your invitation. Please reveal your true form and come out to meet!"

"Buzz!"

Right after Li Qingming’s words fell, a strange fluctuation began to spread slowly from the small island. The vast stretch of land began to tremble. Flowers, birds, fish, and wild beasts were alarmed and frantically fled in panic.

"Crash!" A colossal Golden Turtle head emerged from the depths of the sea, its old face adorned with green patterns and filled with deep wrinkles. The massive head, comparable in size to the stars.

"Are you Yanran’s son, Old Ghost Hong Jun’s disciple, Li Qingming?" Golden Turtle spoke with a slightly open mouth, and a tremendous gust of wind, like a level twelve typhoon, poured out, wild and terrifying.

Li Qingming, unfazed, shifted his position slightly and with a bow, stated, "Indeed, I am!"

"Do you know what my relationship is to the Northern Sea Black Tortoise?" Golden Turtle’s eyes, deep as the vastness of the universe with infinite stars swirling, stared intently at Li Qingming.

Li Qingming slightly frowned and replied, "I was unaware at first! However, I later heard by chance that the Black Tortoise is from your lineage, perhaps even your offspring!"

"And do you realize your crime?" With a squint of his eyes, Golden Turtle released a fierce aura. An overwhelming pressure bore down, enveloping thousands of miles, casting a heavy sense of oppression.

"Hmph! The Black Tortoise slaughtered billions of Silver Fish for its own selfish desires. Allowing it to remain in the world would only bring disaster upon the Primordial Heaven and Earth. By executing this beast, what crime have I committed?" Li Qingming retorted sharply, looking straight into Golden Turtle’s eyes with a gaze sharp as a blade, severe as lightning.

"Court death!" The fierceness in Golden Turtle’s eyes intensified, the imposing pressure dispersed in an instant, completely shattering the void around Li Qingming. Rolling Chaos Qi passed around him, stirring up grey streaks like dragons, emitting resounding Dragon Roars that reached the Nine Heavens, nine Azure Dragons visibly emerged, menacing and ferocious, pouncing towards Li Qingming.

"Roar!" Li Qingming’s expression turned stern. Rich Yuqing True Essence gathered around him, with resonating Dragon Roars emerging continuously. His hands formed the Dragon Seal, turning into eighteen Azure Dragons, twice the number Golden Turtle controlled and each significantly thicker, like eighteen mountain ranges spanning across the sky, the momentum overwhelming.

"Roar!" Twenty-seven Azure Dragons, vast and vigorous, clashed together before even meeting, creating hundreds or thousands of cracks in the sea area. Each rupture was miles long, a terrifying scene unfolded, as if the vast water region was about to collapse, signaling an apocalypse.

"Boom!" The eighteen Yuqing True Dragons collided with the nine spatial Azure Dragons. A powerful surge emanated, releasing myriad Divine Lights, as if a door to the world had opened. Thousands upon thousands of streams of Chaos Qi Force violently broke into the Primordial World.

The magnificent force was like a surging galaxy submerging Heaven and Earth, so terrifying and brilliant that it caused a Heavenly Covering that made it difficult to look directly.

The battle between Saints was indeed as though Heaven and Earth were Cracking, the sun and moon without light. Merely a probe, and yet such power was unleashed, the terror of the Saints was undeniable.

Golden Turtle’s expression remained unchanged, and from his huge head suddenly rushed out a golden figure formed entirely from the Power of Primordial Spirit, sitting in the Void, inhaling and exhaling Chaos Essence, resplendent and dazzling. And at that moment, several great visions appeared around him, a magnificent river mountain rising and falling, a muscular man holding a Divine Axe, and a Green Lotus accompanying him on both sides.

Li Qingming’s expression turned solemn; his body shook, and behind him appeared the looming, magnificent Swallowing Sky Bear phantom. The fierce killing intent was firmly locked on those three great visions.

A bear and a turtle faced off for an indeterminate amount of time.

Suddenly, Golden Turtle voluntarily dissipated the visions, withdrew his imposing aura, and burst into laughter: "Hahaha, I told you! How could the descendant of the Swallowing Heaven be a weakling? Liu Tiao, you’ve lost!" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest encouragement.
