Chapter 54

During the new book period, I seek the support of all the great readers. I ask for your collections and recommendation tickets, everything is appreciated.

Daoist Bingpo's single strike cleared the sky of all the extraterrestrial demons, greatly relieving the pressure on Ximen Jianbei.

When Zhu Ganglie killed these extraterrestrial demons, he vaguely sensed a more massive and terrifying presence, but it seemed unable to break through the spatial barrier to come here.

Some of the slightly more powerful ones had already been killed by the experts of Shenxiao Dao.

"Clang!"

A huge sword cry tore through the void, and then a huge talisman slowly transformed into a giant golden pill.

Seeing this, Zhu Ganglie breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Senior Brother Ximen Jianbei had achieved the Golden Pill stage.

He immediately landed on the square and quietly watched Senior Brother Ximen enter the Cold Ice Daoist Temple.

"Junior Brother Zhu, for a period of time, Senior Brother Ximen will rest and stabilize his cultivation. You don't need to worry. Senior Brother Ximen has achieved a Second Rank Golden Pill, and the prospect of immortality is within reach. This is a blessing for our Ice Soul Peak. Junior Brother, you must also diligently cultivate and not slack off!"

Seeing Zhu Ganglie looking at him, Yinghuo intentionally gave some guidance and said with a smile, a rare look of joy appearing on his solemn face.

Zhu Ganglie was also delighted. Achieving a Second Rank Golden Pill laid the foundation for immortality, worthy of celebration. However, Zhu Ganglie was filled with curiosity about the sudden appearance of the extraterrestrial demons and bowed to Yinghuo, saying, "Senior Brother, what are these extraterrestrial demons? Why did they make you so nervous?"

"Extraterrestrial demons?"

Yinghuo's brows involuntarily furrowed, and he slowly said, "These extraterrestrial demons are creatures that reside beyond the Milky Way. They are bloodthirsty, violent, and greedy, especially having an instinctive urge to kill the beings of the vast land.

The lowest-ranking extraterrestrial demons are the transparent, formless creatures you saw. They have no intelligence, only a greed for flesh and blood.

Only by consuming a bit of flesh and soul do their forms gradually become substantial. The more flesh and soul they consume, the stronger they become.

In ancient times, the battle between Chiyou and the Yellow Emperor destroyed the barrier between heaven and earth, allowing extraterrestrial demons to flood the vast land, causing rivers of blood and countless beings to turn into dry bones.

Therefore, whether it's the Daoist sect, the Buddhist sect, or other miscellaneous sects, they will all eliminate these extraterrestrial demons without mercy!"

At this point, Yinghuo paused slightly, turned, and walked toward the Cold Ice Daoist Temple. Zhu Ganglie followed closely behind.

As they walked, Yinghuo continued, "These extraterrestrial demons are also classified. The lowest-ranking ones are transparent and formless, requiring cultivators to use their powers to see them.

However, these extraterrestrial demons are the weakest. Any human with vigorous blood and a strong mind can resist them.

Slightly stronger ones are slightly visible, existing between form and formlessness. Their strength is slightly stronger, roughly equivalent to the Out-of-Body realm, but slightly weaker.

When the extraterrestrial demons' forms are no longer transparent and have substance, they are more powerful, called Yin Demons, equivalent to the Manifestation realm of cultivators.

When these demons fully materialize, with only their heads remaining formless, their strength is equivalent to the Possession realm, called Blood Demons.

They can not only consume the flesh and blood of beings but also possess their bodies, manipulating them. If not careful, they are almost undetectable.

When the extraterrestrial demons' heads become substantial, these demons gain intelligence, called Great Demons, equivalent to the Unification realm.

When these extraterrestrial demons fully materialize, with their entire bodies condensed into armor-like black qi, they are called Demon Kings, equivalent to the Golden Pill realm.

Although these demons are weaker than us cultivators at the same realm, their numbers are extremely vast, almost endless. No cultivator can face a sky full of extraterrestrial demons.

Especially, these demons are particularly skilled at bewitching the mind, confusing the intellect, and inciting inner desires. Therefore, encountering them requires great caution and no underestimation!"

Hearing Yinghuo's words, Zhu Ganglie nodded, understanding why Tianyin Sect's Yan Hanqiu had warned him so earnestly not to go to the extraterrestrial realm.

Senior Brother only mentioned extraterrestrial demons up to the Golden Pill realm, but there might be even more powerful demons.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ganglie felt a bit more wary about the extraterrestrial realm.

By the time they finished talking, they had arrived in front of the Cold Ice Daoist Temple. Zhu Ganglie saw the entire temple enveloped in a circle of white light, indicating that they could not enter.

"Junior Brother Zhu, the Cold Ice Daoist Temple is now sealed. I will be here for three months to ensure that Senior Brother Jianbei can stabilize his cultivation in peace.

However, there is a task for you to do."

Zhu Ganglie stood up and said, "What is it? Junior Brother will do his best to complete it!"

Yinghuo smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. Our Shenxiao Dao's secular temple in Zhu Ziguang recently reported that a demon monk is deceiving the emperor and persecuting Daoists.

The secular temple's Daoists are only at the Out-of-Body realm and are powerless to resist this demon monk.

The sect has issued a task, which I have taken. You can go and handle this matter.

In addition, you should visit Senior Brother Ximen's family. Now that he has achieved the Golden Pill, his descendants can be brought to live in Zhu Ziguang!"

Hearing Senior Brother's words, Zhu Ganglie smiled and agreed. Now that he had reached the Manifestation realm, it was a good time to go to the secular world to find some methods for cultivating the Great Vajra Body, and to use the opportunity to break through to the Possession realm.

Moreover, this task would earn him merit points, which was a good thing.

After agreeing, Zhu Ganglie left Ice Soul Peak and headed for Zhu Ziguang. The Beye Xiangyun transformed into a cloud, carrying Zhu Ganglie, making the journey more comfortable.

During the flight, Zhu Ganglie also used the Nine Heavens Talisman to refine it slightly. Although it only had one layer of restriction, it created a small space.

Lying on the cloud, Zhu Ganglie felt quite comfortable and quickly arrived at the capital of Zhu Ziguang after a few days.

Wandering around the capital for a while, Zhu Ganglie found the Ziyun Temple, the secular temple of Shenxiao Dao.

Actually, every major sect sends some outer disciples or those with no hope of immortality to such secular temples.

When Zhu Ganglie entered the capital, he saw many people looking at him, some with confusion, some with pity, and some with schadenfreude.

Zhu Ganglie ignored these gazes and walked toward the Ziyun Temple.

Arriving at the Ziyun Temple, he saw the gates tightly closed, frowning. It was broad daylight, and the temple being closed was quite inappropriate.

He stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door. After a while, the door opened, and a small Daoist child peeked out, asking, "Who are you?"

Seeing the Daoist child, Zhu Ganglie smiled, raised his hand, and revealed his identity token. The Daoist child was initially puzzled but then instantly delighted, running into the temple and shouting, "Master, Master, the person with that token has come!"

At this shout, people inside immediately gathered, and an old Daoist in a golden robe and a golden crown quickly came out.

Seeing Zhu Ganglie, the old Daoist was instantly delighted and prostrated himself, saying, "Disciple Wu Feng greets the senior of the sect!"

Although Zhu Ganglie looked young, Wu Feng knew that the seniors of the sect were all accomplished cultivators and did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent.

Especially in the current situation, it was like a savior had arrived.

Seeing the prostrating old Daoist, Zhu Ganglie gently lifted him up and said, "Don't be so formal. Get up and follow me into the temple. I want to hear about the situation in Zhu Ziguang."
