Chapter 974: Lingyun Cave
uddhist divine power. It seems that while a Devil Cloud Halberd was lost, the Demon Spirit itself wasn't severely injured." A hint of solemnity lingered in Iteming's voice amongst the two elders, Min..."It seems you recognize these. This Nascent Soul Stage cultivator is Xiang Yi-hang, right" Lu Xia Tian asked.
“Not bad, this person’s skills are quite extraordinary. He is a rising star among the royal family of Xiangguo. He entered the Yuan Ying realm around the same time as me, within a hundred years, he has already reached the middle stage of Yuan Ying.”
Zhan Yunliang nodded and said.
"Since that's the case, how much do you know about this person's abilities"
"He used to have a pair of Yin-Yang Dragon Scale Swords, quite formidable. I sparred with him when we were both in the early stages of Nascent Soul, and I suffered considerable losses under his Yin-Yang Dragon Scale Swords. As for what happened afterwards, we rarely fought. To what extent his strength has improved, I'm not very clear." Zhan Yunliang shook his head.
Lu Xia Tian nodded. Originally, he had only approached with a curious mindset. Every cultivator, especially those who reached the Nascent Soul stage, had their own unique skills that they wouldn't reveal to outsiders. Even among fellow disciples, it wasn't necessarily something they would share readily. Let alone an old rival they hadn't fought against in years.
However, regarding the other three nascent soul stage cultivators, Zhan Yunliang offered quite a few suggestions, seemingly worried that Lu Xiaoteng wouldn't be able to handle them. As for Lu Xiaoteng's questions, Zhan Yunliang answered almost every one.
Although the Misty Sword Array had recently made a breakthrough, Lu Xia Tian did not show any contempt for these Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xiang National Royal Family.
Through Zhan Yunliang's account, Lu Xiaotien learned that Zhan Yunliang was actually a son-in-law of the Kingdom of Xiang. However, the emperor of the Kingdom of Xiang had many wives and concubines, and numerous children. Zhan Yunliang was just the partner of a daughter born to one of the concubines. He held the title of son-in-law, but in reality, he had no real power. It was merely a way to draw him in because he had reached the Yuan Ying realm, but his status was not high.

After the discovery of this secret realm, the Xiaguo kingdom sent several teams of nascent soul cultivators to explore it. Among these teams was one led by Zhan Yunliang. However, the royal family, aware of the conflict between Zhan Yunliang and Xiang Yihang, placed Xiang Yihang behind Zhan Yunliang, clearly intending for him to act as a laborer, clearing the path ahead for Xiang Yihang.
"Are these people familiar with the Blood Cauldron Demon Refining Array you possess" Lu Xia Tian asked, stroking his chin.
"This blood cauldron refining demon array is from a formula recorded in the Ding of Settling Wilderness, a treasured heirloom passed down through generations in the Xiang Kingdom. It took me a lot of effort to get it. I'm not sure if Xiang Yihang, being a direct descendant of the Xiang Kingdom's royal family, knows about this blood cauldron refining demon array. " Zhan Yunliang said with a bit of helplessness.

“Let’s see what that person is capable of.” Since he couldn't get any more useful information, Lu Xia Tian stopped making such pointless guesses.
Lu Xiaotian put Zhan Yunliang's Nascent Soul back away. The white dog frolicking in the grass suddenly moved its ears and let out a low growl. Its ferocious expression was quite comical compared to its small size.
"Could it be the Eight-Legged Demonic Ox Beast has arrived" Lu Xia Tian usually had his deputy primordial spirit on guard duty. However, when his main primordial spirit expanded outward, he didn't find anything amiss. But after a short while, Lu Xia Tian did detect a familiar aura breaking through the air – it was indeed the Eight-Legged Demonic Ox Beast.
"Good job. Here's your reward." Lu Xiaoteng shot out a drop of Hundred Flower Dew. This little guy's sense of smell was indeed incredibly sensitive, able to detect the Eight-Legged Demon Bull Beast moments before his own divine consciousness. Now that the spirit dog wasn't fully grown, it already possessed such abilities. If it grew up,
It's also a pretty good help.

Wow, Xiaobai joyfully leaped from the ground and caught the dew of a hundred flowers in his mouth.

As Lu Xia Tian was about to put Xiao Bai away, the eight-legged demon bull beast appeared within sight. At this moment, the eyes of the demon bull beast were agitated and bloodthirsty.
“Great opportunity, this group is actually going to Lingyun Cave. Lu, let's go to Lingyun Cave together and block them inside to kill them.”
"Lingyun Cave Why didn't Zhan Yunliang tell me about it" Lu Xiaitian said suspiciously.
“He just got here, how would a little kid know anything” the eight-legged bull demon sneered.
Lu Xiaitian's voice faltered. The ancestor everyone spoke of was actually a young boy in the mouth of this eight-ancestor demon ox beast.
"Well, I wasn't talking about you. You're much more capable than that kid, James Yunliang. You're definitely not some rookie."
The eight-legged ox, Gaga, let out a hearty laugh. "Well, how about it Wanna go meet those folks from the Xiangguo with me"
"But with just you and me, a demon and a human, we may not be able to take down all of them. After all, they have someone whose cultivation realm is higher than ours. Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve" Lu Xia Tian asked the Eight-Legged Demon Ox.
"What other options do we have These few human warriors barely fill my stomach. Even if we call a few more, how would we divide the spoils" The Eight-legged Demonic Ox scoffed, rolling its eyes. "Besides, there's no benefit in this for us. You think other demons are so easy to persuade"
“Don’t worry, once you enter the Lingyun Cave, it will be difficult for the other party to stay together all the time. That place is a ghost cave. If I hadn’t been so annoyed by their constant nagging, I wouldn't have wanted to go there either.” The Eight-Legged Demon Bull Beast chuckled.
"Inside the Lingyun Cave, is there anything that could lead people astray and cause them to lose their way If so, how can you guarantee that we two won't get lost" Lu Xia Tian asked.
"This is easy, you humans have a saying, what's it called, 'when the mountain bull has a plan.'"
The eight-legged demonic ox beast opened its mouth and spat out a fractured, black cow horn. “This was from when this ox was young and accidentally broke it off. Take this object, and as long as you are within a thousand miles, this ox can contact you at any time. If you are in trouble, use your magic to wrap this cow horn three times, blocking its aura. This ox will know you are looking for me.”
“That’s a good idea.” Lu Xia Tian took the ox horn and felt that the arrangement of the eight-legged demon bull beast was quite reliable. With the Yuan Gui Jia, he wouldn't get lost.
A man and his ox looked northwestward as they walked, soaring through the clouds like celestial steeds. The earth sped backwards beneath their feet, rivers were crossed, mountains traversed.
Countless birds and beasts darted past beneath their feet. During the journey, the eight-legged Demon Ox Beast carefully led Lu Xia Tian past two places, for fear of causing a commotion. According to the eight-legged Demon Ox Beast, there were powerful demons haunting this place in the past, establishing their demon mansions here. Even eleven-tiered demonic beasts had met their demise here.

Though over a hundred years have passed and there have been no signs of the Great Demon, some old demons who have lived in this region know its taboos and dare not provoke it lightly.

A demonic beast comparable to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Lu Xia Tian didn't dare to be careless. Although his Misty Sword Formation had already broken through and its power greatly increased, Lu Xia Tian didn't have much confidence in facing cultivators or demonic beasts of this level.
After traveling thousands of miles, they passed through a forest shrouded in dark clouds and filled with eerie howls. A terrifying eight-legged demon ox, radiating immense demonic energy, frightened the low-level ghost creatures, causing them to scatter in all directions.
