Chapter 431 The Heavenly Demon’s Thoughts

　　The so-called Minor Chiliocosm was actually just an irregular form of address that was passed down by the Qi Refinement cultivators of the Primordial World.

　　Back then, the battle between the dragon, phoenix, and Qilin race was led by Li Changshou’s knowledge in his previous life. It could be understood as — The powerful ancient reptiles, birds, and mammals fought for the hegemony of the world and finally shattered the world that God Pangu had painstakingly created. The area with Mount Buzhou as the core was protected by the Dao Ancestor, forming the five continents today.

　　The Primordial Fragments that were thrown into the void turned into the trichiliocosm. The five elements were all in the Chiliocosm. The school name was the Five-Element World.

　　Those worlds that were imbalanced by the five elements were called Minor Chiliocosm. They were mainly differentiated from the Five-Element World. Gradually, the definition of the Major Chiliocosm and the Minor Chiliocosm changed. They were divided by the capacity of the world. Li Changshou and the others were currently approaching the small world. The Yin and Yang were balanced, the Five Elements were present, and the Great Dao was complete. In other words, the concentration of spiritual energy was lower than that of the five continents. It was an excellent place for cultivation.

　　As soon as he passed through the spectacular lightning waterfall outside, Perfected Taiyi sighed. “The human race is really powerful. There are still so many human footprints at the edge of the real world.” Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “In the ancient times, the battle in the Xuandu City was very tense. There were many soldiers who followed the Human Emperor. After the demons retreated, they came to this place to provide support. Their descendants stayed in this small world. Eldest Senior Brother, where should we start?”

　　Daoist Duobao looked at Ksitigarbha and Truth Listener, who stood up in high spirits. Ksitigarbha said seriously, “I’ll be supervising the various places with Truth Listener. Fellow Daoists, please move around. At the very least, you have to let those living beings whose Dao hearts have been invaded by the otherworldly demons move their minds.

　　When the time comes, I will send a voice transmission to inform everyone.”

　　“Then I’ll go south,” Daoist Duobao said with a smile and rode a cloud towards the south.

　　Li Changshou smiled and said, “Let’s go to the north.”

　　Zhao Gongming subconsciously answered, “Alright!”

　　However, when Master Zhao looked up, he saw Li Changshou and his sister looking at him awkwardly. He hurriedly changed his words. “I’ll go to the west. I’ll go to the west.”

　　After saying that, he rode a cloud and sped away. Halfway through, he chuckled again. At that moment, Li Changshou stood up decisively. He took out the “thick-skinned responsibility” that a man should have and made an inviting gesture. He stood side by side with Fairy Yun Xiao two feet away and rode a cloud towards the north. Perfected Taiyi chuckled. “Look at the Water God. This situation is completely different from ours. Yu Ding, let’s go to the east.” Perfected Yu Ding swept his sleeves and walked forward alone. He said calmly, “Everyone, ride your own clouds.”

　　“Don’t.” Perfected Taiyi smiled and moved closer. “Junior Brother, your cultivation level is high. I feel safer being close to you!”

　　On Truth Listener’s back, Ksitigarbha wanted to say something but hesitated. The strength of the otherworldly demons varied. He actually wanted someone to protect him… Forget it. It was already fortunate that he and Truth Listener were not schemed against by the Water God today. On the cloud in the distance, Li Changshou’s immortal senses were locked onto the tribe in front of him. He frowned and pondered.

　　Yun Xiao asked gently, “Are you thinking about how to plot against Ksitigarbha?” Li Changshou said, “I’m here today to resolve the hidden dangers of the otherworldly demons. You have to pay attention to righteousness. If Ksitigarbha dies in the battle, it would have nothing to do with us. The Western Sect would be able to increase their luck.

　　However, we cannot cause trouble behind Ksitigarbha and let him off this time.” A smile appeared in Yun Xiao’s eyes. “You had the intention to kill Ksitigarbha a few times previously, but you could endure it today. It’s really not easy.”

　　“There’s no need to be in a hurry. We can win steadily.”

　　Li Changshou said, “I’ve already detected that there’s something wrong with a few people. When I beckon them to come out later, you will immediately put them into the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice. Don’t let them injure others by accident.

　　According to Mr. Bai, the otherworldly demons are good at bewitching and controlling their Dao hearts. We should be careful.

　　I wonder how many otherworldly demons have barged in this time.” Yun Xiao extended her snow-white left palm. The Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice in her palm flickered and slowly rotated. “Let me attack today. I have already fought with these spirits from the outer world more than ten times. I have some understanding of them. In the ancient times, the Heavenly Dao did not appear. These outer realm living beings often came to the edge of the Primordial World to cause trouble.”

　　Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

　　He had lost everything. At that moment, Yun Xiao was preparing to fight with someone. Her expression was serious and solemn. She had a demeanor that was rarely seen before.

　　It was not purely dignified, nor was it the pressure brought about by an expert. Instead, it gave people a sense of steadiness and experience. Fairy Yun Xiao usually dressed in plain clothes, and she looked the same today.

　　Her plain white dress was wrapped around her body, and her light blue waist belt was decorated with a few ice-colored gems. Under her thin sleeves, there was a jade bracelet on her wrist.

　　Under the illumination of the thunder curtain in the distance, Fairy Yun Xiao’s skin became even fairer. Even though her face was solemn, her gentleness was not reduced at all. Yun Xiao looked away and said softly, “Why are you always looking at me…”

　　“Let’s get down to business first.”

　　The situation was not right. Li Changshou did not take the opportunity to say anything flirtatious. He rode a cloud with Yun Xiao and arrived above the tribe.

　　At that moment, the men, women, old, and young of the tribe had already gathered together. They looked at Li Changshou uneasily. Each of them had their own cultivation level. They had gone from Qi Refinement cultivators who had just started to the Heaven Immortal realm.

　　Li Changshou said loudly, “Everyone, don’t worry. We disciples of the Dao Sect will not kill the innocent. We came here to kill the evil demons!”

　　After saying that, Li Changshou secretly pointed out five auras and secretly attached them to the five men and women.

　　It was his first time fighting the otherworldly demons. Li Changshou naturally did not dare to be careless.

　　When the experts of the Dao Sect rushed to this Minor Chiliocosm, the otherworldly demons outside the region had entered a state of concealment. The demons who were trapped by the divine lightning and could not leave the place were hiding in the shadows of the living beings. Li Changshou had also used his immortal senses to carefully identify the five men and women according to Bai Ze and Daoist Duobao’s descriptions. He confirmed that they had been possessed by the Heavenly Demons. The five men and women were confused by the aura that Li Changshou had pointed out. They were also nervous and panicked. It was no different from the behavior of the humans around them.

　　Yun Xiao raised the Golden Chalice in her hand. The Golden Chalice shot out five beams of golden light and swept the five men and women back into it.

　　Then, the palm-sized Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice spun rapidly in front of Yun Xiao. Fairy Yun Xiao formed a seal with both hands. Light shone on the Golden Chalice, making her look holy. There were nine seals in a row. Yun Xiao pushed her hands gently and another five golden rays shone from the Golden Chalice, sending the five men and women back to their original positions. The five of them twitched and foamed at the mouth. Their faces were extremely pale. Although their auras were weak, they did not stop. They had lost more than half of their vitality.

　　Li Changshou used his immortal power to wrap the five Spirit Pills and pushed them into the five people’s mouths. The five of them quickly quietened down.

　　An old woman bowed to Li Changshou and Yun Xiao and shouted, “Thank you, Immortal Elder.” The humans then bowed in unison, as if they had acknowledged Li Changshou and Yun Xiao. Li Changshou’s immortal senses continued to lock onto that place. He stared at dozens of people, whose eyes were dark, or whose Dao runes were slightly abnormal. He closed his eyes and focused, carefully sensing them.

　　The Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice in Yun Xiao’s hand shone with golden light and turned into a wall of light that completely enveloped the place.

　　Yun Xiao said, “There are still demons hiding here. Everyone, please calm down and let us identify them carefully.”

　　The old woman in the Heaven Immortal realm shouted, “Everyone, don’t make a sound. Sit quietly and wait for the Immortal Elder to investigate.”

　　The group of men, women, old, and young sat cross-legged. Apart from the children who were snuggling in their parents’ arms and feeling a little nervous, most of them were very calm. Compared to the otherworldly demons, they were more afraid of being killed. At that moment, a voice transmission from Ksitigarbha entered his ear. Li Changshou attacked again, and three auras landed on the three of them. The old woman who spoke just now was among them!

　　The old woman was stunned at first. She even said, “Do the two of you have some misunderstandings…” A terrifying black shadow appeared behind him! The black shadow roared at Li Changshou and Yun Xiao, as if it was about to spread its wings and rush forward! The monster only had the outline of a human. Its body seemed to be made of liquid. Its four red eyes were surging with layers of ripples! However, what kind of immortal god was Yun Xiao?

　　She had already attacked almost the moment the Heavenly Fiend appeared. Before the golden light of the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice erupted, she pointed her slender finger forward. A circle of icicles appeared around the Heavenly Fiend and instantly froze him.

　　When the golden light shot over, the Heavenly Fiend was instantly melted by the golden light. The old woman and the other two human men and women were directly sucked into the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice.

　　Li Changshou, who had just grabbed the Cosmic Ruler, smiled.

　　There was no chance for him to attack.

　　The Pagoda Master was sighing in his heart… “Little Disciple, can you do it? If you fight with Yun Xiao in the future, I won’t help you block the Golden Chalice. Hehe, the Golden Chalice has grown again. Can you bring me out and let me talk to her!?!” Li Changshou did as he was told. He held the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda in his palm and allowed it to make a “guest appearance”. Li Changshou and Yun Xiao searched carefully again. After a while, they turned around and spread their immortal senses in that direction.

　　Fortunately, this small world was not large. The immortals of the three sects spent half a day investigating the entire place.

　　With Truth Listener’s help, they saved a lot of effort. The first search revealed sixty-seven otherworldly demons.

　　The strength of the otherworldly demons could not be measured by the standards of the Primordial World. However, to experts at the level of Daoist Duobao and Zhao Gongming, it was only a matter of touching them. Li Changshou and the others sent a voice transmission to discuss. They searched carefully again and brought the suspicious people to a small island in the middle of the Great Swamp. There were a total of 26 people. Daoist Duobao said seriously, “The lightning curtain has yet to dissipate, which means that we have yet to find the external demons that the Heavenly Dao has locked onto.”

　　Perfected Taiyi asked curiously, “What are these otherworldly demons? Why do I feel that they seem to be essence souls or their main bodies?” Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “The so-called otherworldly demons are actually living beings. Living beings are born from the resonance of the True Spirit and the Great Dao. The Dao originates from the Chaos. However, the Dao in the Chaos Sea is intertwined and there is no order. Therefore, the living beings are strange.” From that perspective…

　　Li Changshou frowned and looked at the twenty-six suspects. Those otherworldly demons were also living beings of the Chaos. In essence, they were similar to the living beings of the Primordial World? He, who had transmigrated from an unknown space-time, was more in line with the definition of an otherworldly demon.

　　Just kidding, just kidding.

　　He was a disciple of the Dao Sect. Goddess Nuwa had also said that the Saint did not care about that. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao had recognized his identity. The Heavenly Punishments were meant to be his residence in the Primordial World.

　　Yun Xiao said softly, “There are two other otherworldly demons in the Golden Chalice. They have yet to be completely melted.” Li Changshou’s heart skipped a beat. “Senior Brother Duobao, do you have any treasures that can trap this kind of otherworldly demon? Why don’t you interrogate them?” Cuff…

　　From Ksitigarbha, Truth Listener, Taiyi, Jade Tripod, to Duobao, Gongming, and even Fairy Yun Xiao, they were all looking at Li Changshou in shock.

　　Master Zhao stroked his beard and pondered. He was afraid that his future brother-in-law would not be able to get out of the embarrassing situation. “Although this idea is unbelievable and no one has tried it before, it’s not impossible.” Perfected Taiyi could not help but mutter, “Otherworldly demons can be interrogated? That’s unheard of.”

　　Li Changshou frowned slightly and knew that he had said something wrong. This time, he had suffered from a lack of intelligence. When he returned, he would be punished to copy the Steadiness Sutra a thousand times.

　　Yes, I’ll wait for Ling’e to return to the mountain before I start writing. However, at that moment, Li Changshou could only reply with a smile, “I won’t lose out by trying.”

　　“We can indeed give it a try.” Yun Xiao nodded slightly and activated the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice. Two golden rays wrapped around the two balls of black fog and placed them in front of the immortals.

　　Perfected Taiyi raised the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier and covered the two Heavenly Fiends.

　　Li Changshou was worried again. He activated the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda and released a mysterious aura to block the immortals and the twenty-six people.

　　Under the Nine Dragons Divine Flames, the two black shadows trembled continuously. At that moment, they were extremely weak and gradually revealed their original shapes.

　　It was like two balls of water that were filled with “black oil”. There were feelers on them that contained some obscure Dao runes. Li Changshou muttered, “It’s a little similar to an octopus. Let’s try using some True Flames first.”

　　“Alright.” Perfected Taiyi carefully released a little True Flames. The two weak-looking otherworldly demons immediately let out sharp roars. The black aura on their bodies melted, and their bodies were burned until they had holes.

　　Perfected Taiyi asked, “Lightning?”

　　Li Changshou activated the Five Lightnings technique in his palm. A few small electric arcs smashed into the Divine Flame Shield, causing the two Heavenly Fiends to twitch.

　　“Hey, that’s interesting!” Daoist Duobao rolled up his sleeves and went to the Divine Flame Shield. He took out a pile of Dharma treasures and piled them beside him. He began to experiment one by one. Heavenly lightning, earth fire, astral winds, and dust were all basic operations. Li Changshou took out a few poisonous pills. Perfected Taiyi took out some remnant pills. Perfected Yu Ding recited a few purifying sutras and Ksitigarbha used some Western techniques… Perfected Taiyi cut off a feeler with his weapon and threw it in front of Truth Listener. He said, “Try it.” Truth Listener’s eyes instantly turned pale. Its body trembled as it looked at the cold little world in confusion and helplessness. It was too difficult to live! At that moment, a few sharp whistles sounded from the side. A few otherworldly demons soared into the sky and fled in all directions.

　　However, Fairy Yun Xiao, who had been waiting for a long time, slapped her right hand on the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice. A few rays of golden light shot out and swept the four otherworldly demons back. They melted into balls of Chaos aura in the Golden Chalice. In the sky, the lightning curtain that enveloped the small world instantly dissipated… Daoist Duobao smiled and said, “I didn’t expect that this matter would be completed so smoothly.”

　　“It’s all thanks to Truth Listener’s help.” Li Changshou squinted and smiled. He glanced at Truth Listener.

　　Truth Listener let out a howl. It lowered its head and wanted to swallow the antenna, but it realized that the antenna had already turned into black smoke and dissipated…

　　Li Changshou said, “Let’s go.” The immortals nodded. Daoist Duobao opened a hole in the ground and the few of them disappeared.

　　Some time passed.

　　“Hmph!”

　　In a certain tribe, a young couple’s gaze turned cold. They looked at each other and communicated in their hearts.

　　“The experts of the Primordial World Qi Refinement cultivators are just so-so.”

　　“We will hide in peace. When we are strong enough, we will control more Qi Refinement cultivators and defeat the Mystic Capital.”

　　All of a sudden…

　　“Guys, laugh if you want to.”

　　The young couple was shocked. They immediately stood up, but before they could do anything, they were knocked back by the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice.

　　Fairy Yun Xiao and Li Changshou looked at each other and smiled. After dealing with the otherworldly demons, they placed the couple back to their original spot and sent them into the pills before jumping back into the cave.

　　Zhao Gongming praised, “Changgeng’s foresight is god-like. He’s really impressive!” Ksitigarbha curled his lips slightly. Just now, the Water God had only spoken a little faster. He had asked them to go out and take a walk before returning. Then, he had Truth Listener monitor the entire minor dimension and discovered three fish that had escaped the net.

　　Ksitigarbha had also thought of that.

　　Daoist Duobao was puzzled. “Why did the Heavenly Dao remove the divine lightning?”

　　“The Heavenly Dao power in this place is relatively weak. It’s easy for the Heavenly Fiends to deceive us,” Li Changshou explained. Ksitigarbha said calmly, “It’s best if you wait for half a day or a few days.”

　　However, Li Changshou said, “No. If there are any fish that escaped the net, the other party will definitely be alert. This is just a waste of time.”

　　He still had to teach the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother who were going through the tribulation.

　　Li Changshou said, “In the sutra that Senior Brother Yu Ding recited just now, there was a sutra that made these Heavenly Fiends react strongly. We should split up like before and walk around the world again. This time, he recited the exorcism incantation with all his might. His immortal senses searched every house. Truth Listener was more tired and monitored everywhere.

　　If there are any mistakes, you will be the one to answer.”

　　Truth Listener trembled and nearly sent Ksitigarbha flying. It roared, “Water God, don’t worry. We will definitely use 100% of the techniques that even Master has never seen!”

　　Ksitigarbha’s face was extremely sullen. He casually took out an iron pot and pressed it on Truth Listener.

　　An hour later…

　　Amidst the sutras that filled the sky, a terrifying huge black shadow soared into the sky and attempted to escape into the Chaos Sea.

　　The black shadow used the mouth of the young man wrapped in it to curse at the group of Primordial World experts.

　　“Who else dares to say that we, the otherworldly demons are cunning!? You are the demons! Dao demons!”

　　When the golden light shone and several streams of light shattered the black shadow that was thousands of feet in diameter, the young man silently shed two drops of pitch-black tears. The Primordial World is too terrifying… Why did we risk our lives to enter… Lord…
