Chapter 100

【I'm feeling a bit unwell today, so I can only update once. I'll take a day off tomorrow and make up for it with three updates... Before I knew it, I've already reached 100 chapters. Let's clap and celebrate!】

Following the guidance of the mountain spirit, Yang Zhen moved forward for five miles. Along the way, the flowers and grass on both sides were lush and very beautiful, showing no signs that this mountain had been occupied by demons. "But even among the demon race, no one would like a barren and desolate place. This place is also a treasure land with beautiful mountains and clear water. It's not surprising that it has been occupied by a demon," Yang Zhen muttered to himself.

Looking at the cave before him, Yang Zhen's first feeling was awe. The cave was filled with demonic and immortal energy. Just standing outside the cave, Yang Zhen could feel the power of the demon inside, which was far beyond any demon he had encountered before. This time, he was in trouble.

Thinking about the mountain spirit's answer not long ago, Yang Zhen frowned even more. He was really lucky, having just descended to the mortal world and already encountering such a powerful demon.

...

"Villagers at the foot of the mountain told me that there were once Taoist priests and monks who came to subdue the demon. Haven't you seen the demon take action?" Yang Zhen asked with a frown.

"Immortal, you are wrong!" The mountain spirit said with a bitter face: "Those mortal cultivators were sent away by the demon's magic before they even reached the mountain. This demon's spiritual senses are extremely strong. He has probably already discovered you. He is definitely not an ordinary demon. You must be careful, Immortal."

...

"Since I'm here, I'll go and see for myself!" Thinking this, Yang Zhen smiled faintly and slowly entered the cave. The cave was very dark, but Yang Zhen didn't mind. He summoned the Qingming Sword, and the faint blue light illuminated the surroundings. This allowed him to see the cave's interior clearly and also served as a means of self-defense. A +8 weapon was indeed extraordinary.

Yang Zhen actually wanted to try whether the Golden Python Scissors could be enhanced. If the Golden Python Scissors could also be enhanced, its power would definitely increase significantly. However, the mall was currently upgrading, and he didn't know when he would be able to accumulate enough merit to upgrade it.

Yang Zhen's feet did not touch the ground as his body moved forward in the air at an incredible speed. Soon, Yang Zhen arrived at the deepest part of the cave, which was a vast open space. The surroundings were illuminated by night pearls, making it as bright as daylight. In the center, a Taoist priest in a blue robe was sitting cross-legged, seemingly meditating, completely ignoring Yang Zhen's arrival.

Looking at the person before him, Yang Zhen could clearly feel a faint demonic aura emanating from him, but there was not a single demonic feature on his body. It was evident that his transformation was very perfect, even more so than Yang Zhen, who still had two cat ears.

However, according to Laozi's words, Yang Zhen's bloodline was extremely high, and he would only truly transform when he reached the Golden Immortal realm. Yang Zhen's current human form was maintained solely by the immortal energy bestowed by Patriarch Subhuti.

Yang Zhen did not disturb the Taoist priest.

It was obvious that the person was cultivating an extremely profound skill. If Yang Zhen attacked now, the person would likely die from a reverse flow of energy. But based on the descriptions from the old man in the village, the mountain spirit, and the land spirit, Yang Zhen felt that this demon was not a bloodthirsty one, so he did not intend to kill him.

The person suddenly opened his eyes and, seeing that Yang Zhen was just looking at him without any other actions, clearly felt relieved and closed his eyes to continue meditating.

Layers of blue light swirled around the person, and within the blue light, there was a dark demonic aura. Countless black gases formed various shapes in the air, which was quite strange.

Yang Zhen did not understand what the person was cultivating, but from the power displayed, it was clearly very formidable.

After three days, the person slowly stopped his cultivation. He stood up, walked to Yang Zhen, and said, "Ha! Brother, thank you for protecting me for three days."

"Are you cultivating the demon race's innate skill?" Yang Zhen opened his eyes and asked.

After observing for several days, Yang Zhen found that the person was practicing a genuine immortal technique of the Daoist school. When he cultivated, a righteous energy filled the air. Practicing such an immortal technique could clearly completely refine one's demonic aura. However, during these three days of cultivation, although the demonic aura was always under the control of the blue light, it was evident that the person was practicing a secret technique of the demon race.

According to the method of cultivating the innate skill that Laozi had taught him, this person was indeed cultivating the innate skill.

"Oh? You figured it out!" The person seemed very straightforward and did not blame Yang Zhen for intruding into his cave.

After looking Yang Zhen up and down, the person asked, "From the aura around you, it seems you are also practicing a genuine immortal technique. Where do you practice, brother? Ah! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Illusory Wolf Immortal, and I practice on Jinqiao Island in the East Sea. This time, I came out to cultivate my innate skill, as it's not very convenient to do so on Jinqiao Island."

Illusory Wolf Immortal, seeing that Yang Zhen did not attack him while he was cultivating, seemed to have already considered Yang Zhen a trustworthy person and did not hide anything in his words.

What the hell! The East Sea! Jinqiao Island!

So, he's a great deity of the截Teaching!

Although Yang Zhen was surprised, he did not lose his composure. He smiled and said, "I'm Yang Zhen. I used to practice on Mount Fangcun in the Western Regions. Recently, I served as a Fire Department deity in the Heavenly Court and have just descended to the mortal world to handle some matters!"

Glancing at Yang Zhen's cat ears, Illusory Wolf Immortal asked, "Oh? Your true form is a demon. Why did you go to the Heavenly Court to serve?"

"Uh!" Yang Zhen was quite embarrassed by this question. Was he being looked down upon? However, Yang Zhen did not pay much attention to it and said frankly, "For cultivation! Serving in the Heavenly Court allows one to gain merit."

Illusory Wolf Immortal laughed loudly, "Ha! Although merit can enhance cultivation, forcibly enhancing cultivation through merit can affect one's strength. Brother, don't put the cart before the horse."

Yang Zhen nodded, "Thank you for the reminder. I have already left the Heavenly Court." Yang Zhen didn't know how to explain the matter of the mall, and he absolutely could not let others know about it. Since Illusory Wolf Immortal had misunderstood, he would let him continue to misunderstand.

"Brother, since you practice on Jinqiao Island, are you a disciple of the Holy Man Tongtian?" Yang Zhen couldn't help but ask the question that had been on his mind.

Nodding, Illusory Wolf Immortal said, "Yes, but now Jinqiao Island is under the control of Senior Sister Wudang. Moreover, Jinqiao Island has been closed for many years. Otherwise, I could have taken you to the island to listen to the Dao."

So, he's a first-generation disciple of the截Teaching.

It seems that the截Teaching indeed suffered heavy losses in the battle for the divine positions. According to the book's description, the截Teaching, which once had ten thousand immortals, was left with only two or three hundred disciples. After the Daoist Patriarch Hongjun ordered the immortals to be confined, the Holy Man Tongtian dismissed everyone. However, it seems that Mother Wudang has now gathered the immortals of the截Teaching, and they are all on Jinqiao Island. It's unknown what they are planning.

"Brother, since you are looking for a new cave here, you can stay in this mountain. I have to return to Jinqiao Island. I hope that when we meet again, we can be like today," Illusory Wolf Immortal said and then flew out of the cave, riding a cloud towards the East Sea.

Yang Zhen had a feeling that Illusory Wolf Immortal had already sensed his identity. But Yang Zhen couldn't figure out why he had told him about Jinqiao Island.

No matter how Yang Zhen thought about it, he couldn't understand Illusory Wolf Immortal's intentions.

Shaking his head with a sigh, Yang Zhen put this matter aside for now. However, one thing Yang Zhen could be certain of was that after nearly two thousand years, the Daoist school had recovered some of its strength. Now that the截Teaching was stirring, how could the Precept Teaching be far behind?

Yang Zhen didn't know what to do!
