Li Xiuyuan looked at the people below. Other than the evil cult experts, there was a cute little girl about six or seven years old. He said,"Ming Kong, I need to go out for a while so that you can stay here.”
That's right, this woman was Wu Mingkong, the future empress of the Tang Empire. At this moment, she was just a little girl with a porcelain doll appearance.
After he took in the Pavilion of Falling Stones, he sent people to look for the future empress and planned to take her as his disciple. It was only today that he received news that Wu Mingkong had officially taken her as his master.
Li Xiuyuan's plan in the Great Tang was already far-sighted. He had thought that he would play the role of the mastermind of the Buddhist and Demonic Dao and let them exhaust their strength.
Dharma would rise ten years later, and the Empress would rise thirty years later. The competition between the Righteous Dao and the Demonic Dao would still be extremely fierce in the next hundred years. However, for Li Xiuyuan, it would only increase his merit points and sin points.
Whether it was the demonic sect or the Buddhist sect that had the upper hand, it was because the people on both sides were all set up by Li Xiuyuan.
"Yes, Master!" Wu Mingkong replied.”
She was just an ordinary young lady, Wu clan was engaged in wood trading, her family was well-off and wealthy. However, the Demon Lord wanted to take her as his disciple, and even the family head did not dare to resist.
Everyone did not know why Li Xiuyuan was so optimistic about Wu Mingkong, but they knew that this person's status in the Demon Sect would definitely be unmatched in the future.
Everyone walked towards the agreed location. There would definitely be a fierce battle this time, and it would be with Kind Boathouse and Jingnian Zen Temple. They had to prepare early.
…………
Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling carried the copper jar containing the Demonic Emperor's relic and swept their cold eyes across the demonic sect members in front of them. Xu Zhiling said,"I've already brought the Demonic Emperor Relic. I hope that the Demon Lord can keep his promise.”
As he spoke, Kuo Zhong lifted the copper jar with one hand.
Li Xiuyuan's expression was indifferent when he heard this. He said,"This Seat will keep my word. Quickly hand over the Demonic Emperor Relic to me.”
At this moment, he was fully focused. Everything within a hundred meters was clearly reflected in his mind. He knew that there were people hiding in the dark around him. He didn't care about these people who were hiding.
Kuo Zhong was shocked. He waved his right hand, and the copper pot flew out. Everyone's eyes were focused on it. Suddenly, they heard a whistle and a figure flew across the sky.
Weng!
Li Xiuyuan's Godfiend Sword was unsheathed. After many days of nurturing, this sword was now a spiritual treasure. He said coldly,"Die!"
In the dark sky, a dazzling sword light flashed. The figure three feet away was sent flying. His entire body was destroyed, and even his blood essence seemed to have been sucked dry.
Li Xiuyuan walked very slowly, but his entire body seemed to be floating. His feet did not seem to be on the ground at all, like an elf ghost in the dark.
He caught the copper jar and scanned it with his Divine Perception. He knew that it contained the Demonic Emperor's Relic, and the demonic aura it contained couldn't be wrong.
Li Xiuyuan said indifferently," Alright, you can leave. As long as I'm alive, the Demon Sect won't find trouble with Sister Zhen. As for Susu and her daughter, I'll get someone to let them go."”
The two of them heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. That day, because of Susu and her daughter, they had no choice but to be threatened by Li Xiuyuan. As for whether he could believe his words, it was naturally very simple.
Before Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling could even see the sword light clearly, the person who wanted to snatch the Dark Emperor's sarira had died. Upon a closer look, they realized that it was You Niaokuan, one of the Dark Sect's eight great experts. It was clear how powerful Li Xiuyuan was. The two of them were not worth the other party's prying eyes.
Li Xiuyuan placed the copper jar into the system space. He naturally would not give up on the Demonic Emperor Relic. It was the safest place to be inside, and it would not affect his combat strength.
This Dark Emperor Relic was originally a funerary object that the first generation Dark Emperor Xie Bo had accidentally found in an ancient tomb from the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period in search of a set of silk books related to medicine.
This tomb was located in the territory of the ancient Qi Kingdom. The tomb was grand and magnificent, and the funerary objects were extremely luxurious. However, there were hundreds of horses buried alive. It could be seen that the owner of the tomb was very powerful and had a high status even if he was not a noble.
Although Xie Bo was not allowed to be in the orthodox society that only respected Confucianism at that time, causing him to be cynical and act strangely, he was not an unpardonable evil person. He only devoted himself to medicine, hoping that through medicine, he could solve the mystery of the most mysterious classic of the Demon Sect, the Great Way of Demonic Seed in the Heart.
When the Demonic Emperor's Relic was discovered by Xie Bo, it was placed under the back of the neck of the tomb owner's pillow. It was covered in blood spots, sparkling and mottled. Because it was translucent, it was classified as yellow crystal. In fact, it was very different from any yellow crystal.
What aroused Xie Bo's interest the most was that this crystal ball seemed to contain some kind of strange power. After a long period of experiments, Xie Bo had made a shocking discovery, that was, the crystal ball had the strange characteristic of absorbing and storing human Zhen Yuan and essence.
This discovery was no small matter.
In the Demon Sect, there were all kinds of evil techniques that absorbed the power of others. However, no matter how brilliant the caster was, absorbing other people's zhenqi was only an auxiliary or temporary nature.
No one had ever been able to permanently take over the decades of cultivation of others and increase their own cultivation by a large margin and endlessly. Even if it could be done, due to the difference in the nature of true qi, it would only be harmful and useless, and there would be the disaster of Qi deviation.
Gao Mingming used the method of male and female plucking to absorb the other party's yin and yang, but it was only a supplementary method. There was no risk involved, and it was not a high-quality method.
However, essence was a completely different matter.
Taoism has the so-called three yuan, which are the three lights of the sun, moon and stars in the sky, the three essentials of water, fire and earth on the earth, and the three things of spirit, qi and spirit in man. And refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, and refining spirit into emptiness were the entire cultivation process of Daoism.
Among the three elements of essence, vital qi, and primordial spirit, essence was the foundation of everything. Vital qi and primordial spirit were obtained by cultivating essence. Vital Qi and Primordial Spirit were different due to the different encounters and methods of each cultivator, but there was no difference in Primordial Spirit.
