Chapter 473: Transaction with the Earth Abyss Demon King
"I'm not from the Feiling tribe!" Ye Changsheng said indifferently.
The black-robed man suddenly exclaimed in surprise, and after carefully looking at Ye Changsheng for a few times, he said in surprise: "Even I was wrong. You are really not from the Feiling tribe. No wonder you don't care about the life and death of that Tianpeng tribe member!"
"That's good. Since you are not from the Feiling tribe, I feel more at ease with you!"
Hearing this, Ye Changsheng smiled faintly.
He knew that the six-legged demon king was probably still very wary of recruiting him into their group, fearing that he would attract the old monster from the Feiling tribe behind him.
But now that he has revealed his human identity, he can dispel some of the other party's concerns and make them think that he does not have much to do with the Feiling tribe.
"I just pretended to be a member of the Tianpeng tribe for some special reasons and had to sneak into this abyss. Now it is a good thing for me to be able to leave the Feiling tribe!" Ye Changsheng said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zu said with no emotion in his voice: "Congratulations, fellow Taoist!"
The six-legged demon king was skeptical about Ye Changsheng's words and did not trust him completely.
But in his opinion, it doesn’t matter what Ye Changsheng’s identity is, as long as he has the divine thunder that can ward off evil spirits.
As for his relationship with the Feiling tribe, it was really nothing to worry about for Liuzu.
He was not afraid of ordinary combined cultivators of the Feiling Clan at all , but the truly powerful ones...
If they could come down, they would have dealt with these demon kings in the abyss long ago.
Liu Zu held the Holy Lord Tian Peng in his hand, looked at Ye Changsheng and said, "How can I be sure that you will fulfill your promise after I let your companion go?"
Ye Changsheng smiled when he heard this: "It's very simple, I just need to make a vow to my inner demon!"
“However, before that we have to agree on the specific contents of the transaction. You have to tell me clearly what you want to borrow my evil-repelling thunder for, otherwise I don’t want to make an unclear oath!” Ye Changsheng said lightly.
Hearing this, Liu Zu's black robe moved, and a calm voice came out, saying: "The words of the Heart Demon Oath are indeed credible. The higher the level of the cultivator, the greater the constraints of the Heart Demon. Haha, if you want to know the specific situation, that's fine, but before that, you must first swear the Heart Demon Oath and not leak the content of our conversation!"
"That's certainly no problem!" Ye Changsheng nodded.
So he immediately swore a vow not to tell anyone about the conversation between him and Liuzu.
Seeing this scene, Liu Zu nodded with satisfaction. With this guarantee, he could tell Ye Changsheng about the affairs of the Styx with confidence.
"Since Fellow Daoist Ye has shown his sincerity, I can no longer hide it. Fellow Daoist Ye, please listen to me in detail about why I need the Divine Thunder to Repel Evil."
"In the depths of the seventh layer of the abyss..."
Liu Zu spoke slowly and told Ye Changsheng roughly about the connection between the deep earth abyss and the land of the Styx, as well as the general situation of the land of the Styx.
Of course, this guy must have concealed a lot of information and did not tell Ye Changsheng.
But it doesn’t matter. Ye Changsheng may know more about the situation inside the Styx than he does.
Through the conversation with Liuzu, Ye Changsheng roughly knew that these demon kings in the abyss had not yet officially entered the Styx.
In the original novel, when Han Li arrived at the Earth Abyss, several demon kings here were preparing to enter the Styx for the second time.
Now it seems that the recent period should be when they first entered.
This time, they were all ill-prepared and failed to obtain the Styx Divine Milk they had been longing for, and even a demon king died as a result.
When they entered for the second time, although they were more prepared, they attracted the guards of the Ephemeridae tribe. As a result, they were killed by the enemy using Qing Yuanzi's Five Dragon Guillotine, causing heavy losses...
Ye Changsheng recalled this information and thought to himself, "It seems that I won't encounter the guards of the Mayfly Clan this time!"
"It was precisely because of this invasion that the Mayfly Clan took notice. That’s why these demon kings encountered several Golden Mayfly-level warriors when they entered for the second time!"
"Fellow Daoist Ye, the restriction on the Styx contains a large amount of the dark demonic energy. If we can get your help, it will be much easier for us to get through that level!" Liu Zu said.
"According to what the senior said, the restriction of the Styx is so terrifying. I am afraid it will be difficult to break the restriction with the evil-repelling divine thunder that I possess!" Ye Changsheng said with a frown.
"How is this possible? As long as the true power of the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder is unleashed, even a spiritual general-level cultivator will be able to help us break the ban on the Styx!" Liuzu said in a puzzled tone.
"But what if I can't unleash the true power of the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder?" Ye Changsheng said calmly.
"What does Fellow Daoist Ye mean?" There was a hint of surprise in Liu Zu's voice.
"Ever since I got the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, I have been figuring out how to use the evil-repelling divine thunder on my own. I have never learned the advanced technique of controlling thunder!" Ye Changsheng said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zu looked at Ye Changsheng carefully and found that he did not seem to be lying.
So he said, "To be honest... This high-end lightning control technique is indeed hard to obtain. It's normal that you have never come across it before with your cultivation level!"
"It just so happens that among us Earth Abyss Demon Kings, there are a few who have mastered a thunder ritual that can maximize the power of top-level divine thunders like the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder!"
"As long as Fellow Daoist Ye is willing to help us break the restriction of the Styx, I can promise now that I will let the other Fellow Daoists teach Fellow Daoist Ye the thunder sacrifice technique!" Liu Zu said lightly.
Ye Changsheng was delighted when he heard this.
Among the many purposes for him to contact these Earth Abyss Demon Kings and discuss transactions, one of them was the thunder sacrifice technique.
Although he had collected the Five Elements Divine Thunder, Ye Changsheng had never learned any advanced methods of controlling thunder. His use of the Five Elements Divine Thunder only remained at a very superficial level.
Of course, even so, after he integrated the Five Elements Divine Thunder into the Great Five Elements Immortal Light, the power formed was still extremely terrifying.
Once a Void Refining cultivator of the same level falls into the Great Five Elements Immortal Light, he will be struck to death by the Five Elements Divine Thunder almost instantly.
If a cultivator in the combined state falls into it, he will also be in great danger.
But this level still cannot satisfy Ye Changsheng. He knows clearly that he has not fully tapped the power of the Five Elements Divine Thunder.
However, the thunder sacrifice technique mastered by the Demon King of the Underworld can do this.
Judging from the situation in the original book, the improvement of the evil-repelling divine thunder by this thunder sacrifice technique is quite terrifying.
Of course, as a high-end thunder-controlling technique, the Thunder Sacrifice Technique can improve not only the Thunder that wards off evil spirits, but also the Thunder of the Five Elements.
If he learned this technique of controlling thunder, Ye Changsheng could increase the power of the Great Five Elements Immortal Light to a higher level.
By then, maybe I could cover a fusion-level cultivator and kill him on the spot.
"In that case, then we have a deal. You teach me the thunder sacrifice technique, and I will help you break the restriction of the Styx!"
"Of course, the deal between us ends here. After this, we will no longer be friends!" Ye Changsheng said calmly.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Ye, don't you have any ideas about the Divine Milk of the Styx ? You should know that it is a thing that can drive a cultivator of the combined form crazy. In the entire spiritual world, it is only found in the land of the Styx. Apart from this, there is no other branch!" Liuzu said lightly, his voice calm and without any emotion.
"Such precious things should be left to the seniors at the fusion level to enjoy. How can I, a mere Void Refinement cultivator, be qualified to touch such things?" Ye Changsheng said, shaking his head.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, what you said is wrong. In my opinion, it is only a matter of time before you advance to the fusion stage. By then, it will be too late to find the Divine Milk of the Styx!" Liuzu seemed to be unwilling to give up and wanted to drag Ye Changsheng into the water.
Ye Changsheng still shook his head and said slowly: "Senior, you are joking. I am a cultivator in the early stage of the Void Refinement Stage. I don't even know how many times I can survive the great heavenly tribulations. How can I dare to think about the Fusion Stage?"
"Senior said that I can definitely advance to the fusion stage, but I'm afraid you overestimate me!" Ye Changsheng said with a sigh.
After hearing this, Liu Zu looked at him deeply and said, "Forget it. Since Fellow Daoist Ye doesn't want such a rare item as the Styx Divine Milk, I wo n't say any more nonsense. Just swear an oath!"
Ye Changsheng made a vow to his inner demon according to the previous deal.
It was agreed that as long as Liuzu released the Holy Lord Tianpeng and allowed him to return safely, and the Demon King of the Earth Abyss taught him the art of thunder sacrifice, then Ye Changsheng would use the evil-repelling divine thunder to help them pass the restriction of the Styx.
After he finished his oath, Liuzu nodded with satisfaction.
So, he immediately threw the body of the Holy Lord Tianpeng far away, and then said to Ye Changsheng: "Fellow Daoist Ye, let's go, I will introduce you to several other fellow Daoists!"
Ye Changsheng took a look and confirmed that Saint Lord Tianpeng should be able to wake up soon and return to the Feiling Clan, so he nodded and ignored him.
His promise to the Tianpeng tribe has been fulfilled, and he has definitely done his best along the way.
The two then flew away.
The six-legged cave was located in a dark underground nest shrouded by thick black fog somewhere in the first layer of the abyss. After arriving here, Ye Changsheng did not continue down, but stood outside the six-legged cave and watched the scene here.
The ground was littered with corpses of various animals, large and small, all of which were common monsters.
These monsters were captured here to be used as blood food.
Only a large amount of blood food can help them open the passage to the land of the Styx.
Liu Zu stood at the gate of the cave and said to Ye Changsheng, "Fellow Daoist Ye, why don't you come in and sit down?"
Ye Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "Forget it, I won't bother Senior Liuzu anymore!"
Liuzu nodded upon hearing this, and without saying anything more, he entered his own cave.
He knew that Ye Changsheng still suspected him, but he did not get angry. He walked into the cave on his own to contact the other demon kings.
However, Ye Changsheng found an open place outside his cave and sat down for a while, waiting for the other demon kings to appear.
A few days later, a flash of light appeared outside Liuzu's cave, and a burly middle-aged man appeared, emitting a cold and tyrannical aura.
"Dear Daoist Brother Zhu, thank you for your presence. Please forgive me for not coming in person to welcome you!" A calm voice came from the six-legged cave.
"Brother Liuzu, you called us here just for that handsome young man over there?" The middle-aged man asked loudly after taking a look at Ye Changsheng who was sitting cross-legged on a hill in the distance.
“Yes, this person possesses divine thunder that can ward off evil spirits, which can be of great help to us!” A light flashed at the entrance of the cave, and a six-legged figure covered in a black robe appeared there.
"If I remember correctly, when you delivered the message before, you treated this person as an equal to us!" A middle-aged woman's voice came.
As the voice fell, a white-haired woman appeared in front of the Liuzu Cave. She glanced coldly at Ye Changsheng in the distance.
"Fellow Daoist Lan is here too. Yes, this Fellow Daoist Ye can indeed be on equal footing with us. We need to rely on his strength in many areas!" Liu Zu said, greeting the newly appeared middle-aged woman.
Ye Changsheng also listened to the conversation between these people. When the white-haired woman appeared, his heart moved and he opened his eyes to look at her.
This person is the one among the demon kings, whose cave is located closest to the bottom of the abyss.
Ghost woman!
This is a cultivator who achieved enlightenment by taking on the body of a demon. In the original novel, Yuan Yao and Yan Li were captured by him and used as slaves.
"I must find some time to visit this ghost woman!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
"How can a cultivator at the initial stage of Spirit Marshal be qualified to be on equal footing with us?" the burly middle-aged man said in a cold voice.
"Of course it's because this person's strength is extraordinary. After my verification, I think this person can be on par with us. What's the matter, Fellow Daoist Zhu, do you have any doubts about my decision?" Liuzu asked in a flat voice.
The expression on the burly man's face suddenly froze and became a little ugly.
Liuzu is the demon king who has existed the longest and is the most powerful in the abyss. No one is willing to provoke him, and the middle-aged man naturally does not want to offend this mysterious guy easily.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Zhu, you've made a mistake. Fellow Daoist Ye's strength is definitely on par with ours!" A young woman's voice sounded.
Then, a giant golden flower appeared, and a young woman was sitting cross-legged on the flower.
When Ye Changsheng saw this girl, he knew that this should be Mu Qing, the Demon King of the Earth Abyss whose true form was that of plants.
After this woman appeared, she glanced towards Ye Changsheng with a hint of inexplicable fear in her eyes.
"What did Brother Daoist Mu mean by what he said just now? Could it be that I, Zhu, can't even see the strength of a cultivator at the initial stage of Spirit Marshal?" The burly man turned around and asked in a deep voice after seeing the woman.
The woman named Mu Qing chuckled upon hearing this and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, do you know why the Earth Blood Monster hasn't come yet?"
