Immortal Palace of Eternal Life

Chapter: What of divine transformation? That shackle has always been on me!

"Hahaha—"

"We've been apart for many years, and Fellow Daoist's bearing is even better than before."

"With Fellow Daoist's current cultivation, I suppose you are not far from attempting a breakthrough into divine transformation, are you?"

With a light laugh, Liu Yu moved his mind and canceled the spell. His figure silently appeared not far away as he said unhurriedly with his arms folded across his chest.

Being able to enter and leave various ancient secret realms to search for resources, and also to plunder supplies from the war between humans and demons, while also gaining a share from cooperating with him.

As expected, roads are made by people.

The risk was great, but the path of the Blood Leopard Demonic King had clearly been widened.

Although this demonic king was still a long way from meeting the three basic conditions for attempting divine transformation, judging from the current momentum, the future held great promise.

The Human Race had the "traitor to humanity" crime, and the demonic race had the same for their side as well. Once the news leaked, it would mean death and the extermination of one's clan.

But greed could blind living beings' eyes and smooth over the reproach from conscience and morality.

So no matter how great the risk was, collusion between the two races, from the bottom level all the way to high-level cultivators, had never truly been eradicated.

The greater the risk, the greater the return.

Methods with benefits beyond imagination had always been written into the forbidden taboos expressly banned by both races.

The sudden voice made the Blood Leopard Demonic King's body tense instinctively, and his expression changed.

Only after sensing a familiar aura and turning around to see a familiar figure did he finally relax and feel reassured.

This place was only ten thousand li from the Five Elements Pass, and for a yuan ying true monarch, that was not far at all.

Sneaking deep into Human Race territory was dangerous enough as it was; if he were accidentally discovered, then being attacked from both front and back and surrounded on all sides would truly leave him with nowhere to run.

However, the gathering places of immortal cultivators were far apart, and not every gathering place had a true lord stationed there. As long as one was careful, basically nothing would go wrong.

Sending high-level cultivators and demonic kings to plunge deep into enemy territory alone was not advisable.

Once an offensive failed, and the Immortal City that had not been cleared from the rear sent out troops at a critical moment, it would create a situation of enemies in front and behind, leaving them in grave danger.

That was why the front lines needed to focus on attacking cities and seizing territory, rather than both sides sending true lords and demonic kings to raid each other.

Of course, dispatching one or two high-level cultivators or demonic kings to infiltrate enemy territory and harass them from time to time was certainly a tactic that existed.

But it was only used as a surprise force, meant to shake the enemy's morale.

Because the risk of death for such "surprise forces" was extremely high, no true lord or demonic king was willing to take the risk without a price high enough to "buy a life," such as breakthrough elixirs or spiritual objects that extended lifespan.

"Compared to more than ten years ago, Qingyang's aura has become increasingly deep."

"His magical power may have already surpassed the Second Princess. It seems that the rumors about the 'number one true lord' are not entirely baseless."

Carefully sensing the other party's spiritual pressure, the Blood Leopard Demonic King was stirred. Unconsciously, he compared him to the pinnacle demonic kings, and in an instant many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Having fought on the front lines for many years and met the three great true lords more than once, he could confirm that the other party might truly have surpassed them.
