Duars!

The tribulation lightning descended for more than one day and one night. It did not stop in the slightest, even if the person at the center of the storm had already turned black. The lightning tribulation that descended was extremely ferocious, it happened because the two tribulations had merged into one due to the long delay.

Kong Li felt like crying blood. After a long time of cultivating, he had finally managed to break through to become a tier 5 equivalent to a God Transforming cultivator. But since things in the previous Chengxuan sect were delaying his tribulation, now he had to endure the multiple tribulations of lightning.

The lightning is strong and a lot of really painful. Next time he doesn't want to put it off again.

Duars!

The last lightning came down viciously.

Kong Li took a deep breath before sitting cross-legged to stabilize his newly ascended cultivation. Golden rays and spiritual rain fell on Kong Li's severely injured body. In an instant all the wounds healed and his blackened skin color also returned to its original state.

When Kong Li opened his eyes again, Qi Yuzhi and the others were already nearby.

"Feng Mo's position is at the far west."

"OKAY. Let's go!" Kong Li leaped up happily and rose into the air!

The others did not miss and immediately flew. Westward.

When they had just returned to the Zhijing Secret Realm, they had not discovered Feng Mo's whereabouts anywhere. If they had all returned and separated, they wouldn't have been too suspicious. But only Feng Mo was separated from them, so they were very worried.

It was just that they could not leave immediately because their cultivation had arrived at the verge of a breakthrough point.

Going to a small world is really not in vain. The four of them returned with many merits in their bodies. After secluding himself for a few days, Qi Yuzhi immediately rose two stages to become a low-level Fusion cultivator.

Xiao Jinxi who had long settled at the peak of God Transforming became a high-level Fusion cultivator. Meng Shize had also turned into a low-level Fusion cultivator. And only Kong Li was still at the peak stage of God Transformation.

The higher the cultivation stage the more difficult the struggle. Being able to break through to the Fusion stage just by going to a small world, was truly something cost-effective.

Four of them flew low to the west. Initially only Kong Li wanted to go look for Feng Mo and volunteered to part ways. But Qi Yuzhi disagreed and wanted to follow.

Both Xiao Jinxi and Meng Shize also had to go find other clan members so they proposed to walk together. Everyone agreed and went in one direction.

The Zhijing Secret Realm was extremely large. The extent was more than the entire sect if combined into one. So even after flying for several hours, they did not find a single cultivator.

The Zhijing Secret Realm included an extremely ancient secret realm. There are many treasures of heaven and earth that breed and grow here. There are many treasures and heritage caves. There were countless places that grew rare spiritual grass. Even the spiritual energy within the secret realm was a thousand times thicker than outside.

The low-level spiritual grass grew like a reed. Middle-level spiritual grasses were found many times along the way. As for the high-level spiritual grass, each of them was guarded by a housekeeper.

The four people flew for a few more days. During this time they had also swept away all the high-tier spiritual grasses they had managed to find. Fight with the ferocious beasts that guard the treasures and continue cultivating at night. Taking advantage while they were inside the secret realm, they had to keep trying to raise their cultivation as high as possible.

One day the sound of fighting was heard in front of him.

The four of them had already agreed not to deal with the other cultivators who were fighting. But just as they were about to take a detour, Kong Li who was always walking in front, suddenly turned around and rushed towards the sound of battle.

"Kong Li?"

Qi Yuzhi did not say much and soon followed. The two people Xiao Jinxi and Meng Shize looked at each other for a while before rushing over.

Not far from them. Two human cultivators seemed to be chasing something.

More precisely a large crane.

The kwak! The kwak!

"Haha!"

The two cultivators were chasing the stork with playfulness.

"Run! Run on! I wonder how far you can escape! Ahaha!"

"Haha! Brother, I have heard that the bodies of the demon clan are all treasures. Do we need to cut it?"

"Cut off? Sure was! I've been wanting to fix my weapons for a long time. Now that there's excellent raw materials in front of me, why look again."

"Haha! Brother, I want the fur! I want to make a beautiful robe!"

"Take it! Make one for me!"

"Brother, you're the best."

The two brothers laughed happily, while the stork kept running and tried hard to flap its wings.

The kwak! The kwak!

The stork was angry, he suddenly opened his beak and launched an attack on the two cultivators. An ice needle came out of his mouth and shot rapidly towards the two.

Unfortunately, the two cultivators managed to dodge the ice needle attack of the stork.

The young man looked at the blood dripping from his brother's cheeks and felt angry. "Brother, even though his cultivation has decreased, demon cultivators are still demon cultivators. Let's just kill him and get his blood and skin!"

The brother narrowed his eyes in anger. "You're right. Even if he became his true form, he was still a demon cultivator. Don't waste any more time, kill!"

"Kill it!"

The two cultivators originally still wanted to enjoy the feeling of stepping on prey, playing the role of a cat chasing a mouse, so they did not directly kill the demon Stork. But now seeing that the Stork could still fight back, they no longer wanted to waste time.

The playful attitude of the two cultivators immediately disappeared and was replaced with a thick killing intent.

"Take out the eternal rope!"

The Stork was angry and desperate. He was not in a condition that could counterattack. If looked closely, one would see that the condition of the demon Stork was not so good. There were many wounds on his body and his fur had been slightly bald. But he could not escape the clutches of the enemy, and could not put up a fight.

The Demon Stork did not want to die at the hands of a ruthless human cultivator, he had yet to find the most important person in his life, he had yet to achieve his life goal. He didn't want to die yet, didn't want to die!

The kwak! The kwak!

Another ice attack came attacking the two cultivators.

"Damn!"

The brother took the immortal rope and swung it towards the Stork.

The stork flapped its wings and avoided the eternal rope.

The younger brother took out a talisman and activated it!

The bomb!

The storks had no time to dodge and were hit by talismans. His huge body was bouncing and rolling on the ground. His left wing was burnt by the attack talisman and charred.

The kwak! The kwak!

"Keep throwing talismans!"

"okay!"

One by one amulets were thrown. The Demon Stork woke up with great difficulty and dodged. But whatever the power, his heavily injured body could not be moved quickly.

The bomb! The bomb!

The Devil Stork was slammed into the air and fell violently on the ground. The pure white fur was charred everywhere, dirty with dust and blood.

Kwak—

"Haha! This is the result if you dare to fight us! Ahaha!"

"Hum, demon cultivators are so weak! Is this their only strength?!"

"Come on, tie him up!"

"Yes!"

Kwak—

The Demon Stork that was already heavily injured, dizzy and angry. If before his cultivation base dropped, these two people would not be able to fight him, let alone injure him. But he was so unlucky, he met these two cultivators before he could find a place to hide.

Kwak—

The Devil Stork did not want to, but his body was in a lot of pain. His gaze started to blur and everything in front of him started to distort. Before he actually fainted, he seemed to hear a voice he had long dreamed of.

"How dare you!"

Booms!

The two cultivators who were about to bind the Demon Stork were shocked when suddenly an attack came towards them. They are not alert to the surroundings and careless. The attack struck both of them and made them fly far away.

The sound of a loud bang did not make the attacker who was none other than Kong Li feel relieved. He's getting mad. Seeing the demon Stork not even respond at all, his anger overflowed, making him breathless.

"Die you!"

Kong Li's hand turned into sharp claws, he shot towards Brother and aimed at his heart!

The brother managed to dodge at the last moment, but he had yet to sigh when another Kong Li attack came after him. The two brothers could not just stand still and start fighting back.

Two on one. Each of them were God Transforming cultivators. That fierce battle did not allow others to calm down.

Kong Li who was overwhelmed with anger was extremely cruel. He attacked the fatal point of both of them and was not merciful at all.

The brother was also angry, they did not know Kong Li, but why did the other party have any killing intent towards the two. "This fellow Daoist, we didn't provoke you, why are you after us?!"

"Who?!"

Kong Li did not want to know. Whoever wounds the demon Stork is his enemy!

Kong Li took out a stack of talismans from the storage ring. And throw it towards both.

The younger brother immediately pulled out a self-defense tool. But who knew that the attack talismans thrown by Kong Li were stronger than those on the market.

BOOM UP!

The self-defense tool was instantly shattered due to Kong Li's attack talisman and injuring both of them. The two cultivators were bouncing away. Each of them was seriously injured. The internal organs shift which makes them vomit blood.

Kong Li did not stop, he approached the two and stabbed the hearts of the two cruelly.

The two cultivators gasped, not believing that they would just die.

That was what the three people Qi Yuzhi saw when he managed to get close. They were shocked by the cruelty Kong Li had never known. Long time hanging out with Kong Li, they only saw Kong Li always listening to Feng Mo's advice over everything.

Although they also knew that it was impossible for a cultivator not to be ruthless towards an enemy, but this was the first time they had seen Kong Li's cruelty.

"Kong Li?"

Looking at the two corpses on the ground, Kong Li took a deep breath. He ignored the three people beside him and walked up to the demon Stork that was still lying in a coma on the ground.

Kong Li grabbed the demon Stork into his arms. "Sister Lan? Sister Lan?"

The Demon Stork did not respond at all.

"Sister Lan, what happened to you?" Kong Li held one of Guan Lan's wings and transmitted spiritual energy. But Kong Li was shocked to learn of the chaos of energy within Guan Lan's body.

Qi Yuzhi frowned slightly, only to realize the sudden origin of Kong Li's anger. It seems he knows the demon stork.

"Let's find a temporary place to find out the specific condition."

Kong Li nodded hurriedly and raised Guan Lan's real body in his carriage.

The four of them found an empty cave and landed. Kong Li went straight into the depths of the cave and laid down Guan Lan's original body.

Meng Shize volunteered to see Guan Lan's condition, but was rejected by Kong Li.

"I can do it myself."

Meng Shize was helpless, she returned to her original place. But neither he nor Xiao Jinxi immediately exchanged glances. They suddenly had a rough guess about the origins of Kong Li and Feng Mo.

Kong Li made a huge hole in the ground. Then he took out a gourd from the storage ring and poured its contents into the hole.

Soon the hole was filled with clear water.

Qi Yuzhi realized the familiar gourd and his mind was suddenly enlightened.

"Kong Li, you… "

Kong Li stuffed Guan Lan's stork body into the pond. He also put some healing pills into his mouth and continued to transmit spiritual energy. Kong Li tried hard to make Guan Lan aware, so that he would know what really happened to Guan Lan.

The last time they met, Guan Lan was already a peak level 5 demon. Even if Guan Lan did nothing upon arriving in the small world, it would not make his cultivation level decrease! What the hell is going on?! Why is there chaos in his body?!

A short while later, Guan Lan finally reacted violently. His stork's body convulsed like pain. Kong Li held him back and did not let Guan Lan out of the pond.

Three Qi Yuzhi did not dare to interfere.

White light shot out from the Stork's body. Moments later, the white light changed shape and became human. When the light finally disappeared, a beautiful and graceful woman was lying weakly inside the pond.

"Sister Lan."

Guan Lan's pretty face frowned slightly. His eyelashes moved before finally slowly opening. Looking at the familiar face, Guan Lan sighed in relief.

"Xiaoli."

"Sister Lan."

"Xiaoli."

"I'm here."

"Xiaoli."

"Hey." Kong Li clasped Guan Lan's hand, he never stopped to transmit spiritual energy. He also wanted to comb through the chaos of energy within Guan Lan's body but to no avail.

Guan Lan's brows frowned. His body that was submerged in water suddenly felt a turbulent warm current. Foreign energy invaded within his body. That energy was not dangerous at all, even competing with other forces trying to harm him.

Realizing what energy it was, Guan Lan suddenly wanted to get up from the pond.

But Kong Li immediately held him back. "Don't move."

"No. It's too valuable. I can't take it." Guan Lan spoke with a stupor. Although he had never seen what a blood purification pond was, but once he soaked, he knew it straight away.

"You need her. Don't move, obey. It'll help you solve your problem." Kong Li pressed Guan Lan's shoulder into the water until only her head was on the surface.

"Xiaoli."

"Hey, I'm here. Close your eyes and concentrate. I'm not leaving you."

"Xiaoli." Guan Lan clasped Kong Li's hand back, and did not let go.

"Pulse. Come on, close your eyes. Go sleep… "

"Xiaoli."

"me too. Go sleep… "

As if hearing a spell, Guan Lan suddenly felt himself heavily sleepy. Mind empty. Her tired body screaming forced her to sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, Guan Lan entered a coma phase to heal himself.

Kong Li never let go of his hand grip from Guan Lan. He sat cross-legged by the pool.

Qi Yuzhi approached once the atmosphere calmed down again. He glanced at Guan Lan and asked in a low voice, "Is your friend alright?"

Kong Li stared at his hand with a blank expression. "Maybe?"

Qi Yuzhi was slightly stunned by Kong Li's hesitation. "Then what do you think?"

"I don't know either."

Qi Yuzhi was silent for a moment before asking him something he wanted to ask earlier. "Kong Li, are you someone.. From the demon clan?"

Kong Li did not refute, only sighed softly then nodded. "Yes. Do you have a problem?"

"What about Feng Mo?" Ever since they met, Kong Li had never been separated from Feng Mo. Qi Yuzhi did not know how to behave.

"Yes, of course." Kong Li was silent for a moment before adding, "More precisely, Feng Mo is half-devil."

Qi Yuzhi opened his mouth shut not knowing what to say. He should have realized it a long time ago, ever since the two discussed about the blood purification pond openly all those years ago. But back then even though Qi Yuzhi knew very little about demon cultivators, he never connected the two with demon cultivators.

Qi Yuzhi was dizzy with the identity of the two. He sat not far from the two and faced the cave wall. Trying to calm down.

The information Kong Li gave was quite shocking, Xiao Jinxi could not help but ask after Qi Yuzhi stepped aside. "Then... Are you from the Peacock demon clan?"

Kong Li glanced at Xiao Jinxi calmly. "Yes." Yeah."

Xiao Jinxi nodded. He did not ask anything more and sat not far away from them along with Meng Shize.

Soon the atmosphere inside the cave became strange. They didn't say anything about the identity of the Kong Li demon clan, but they didn't go away either. The atmosphere within their group persisted until Guan Lan absorbed all the energy within the blood purification pond a few days later.

Then they continued back on their way towards where Feng Mo was.

Far off at the west end.

Feng Mo didn't know if he was getting lucky or bad luck.

As soon as he returned to the Zhijing secret realm, he was instantly thrown into a place filled with an extremely deadly poison. The ground, the air, even the ceiling was filled with poison. It is so dense and dark that it blocks sunlight from touching the ground.

With his particular method of cultivating, Feng Mo would naturally be pleased with the abundance of these poisons. Unfortunately, his body had yet to allow himself to directly absorb these poisons and he was greatly overwhelmed by the poisoning.

His whole body blackened. Her lips turned purple. If not for Feng Mo immediately making an isolation barrier, he would probably have fainted in a split second. And what happens when he passes out might be really bad.

His body was indeed immune to poison, but it was only for the poison that had assimilated with him or the poison that was weaker than the poisons he had absorbed. For the new poison, he would get a slight response before he completely purified it.

The poison in this place was very different from the one he had been pure to all this time. Newer and more deadly. Feng Mo could sense that the poison in this place had never existed before in the world. There is no name yet and no cure.

Fortunately, only he was thrown here.

Taking out a familiar alchemy furnace, Feng Mo sat down cross-legged and cast a purification spell for himself.

The pain like being pierced with thousands of needles made Feng Mo's mind clearer. Extracting toxins in the body requires extra caution. He can't be the slightest bit off guard.

Feng Mo counted in his heart, after he saved himself.

This was also what made Feng Mo feel lucky to be thrown into this place—

He had to gather all the poison in this place to help his cultivate!

The more poison, the more deadly the poison, Feng Mo had to gather all of his. In order not to waste the effort of someone who helped him. Thank you!
