Chapter 119: The Body of a Young Divine Demon

Hundred Herbs Pavilion Headquarters.

In the cave dwelling that Mo Chengkong had prepared for Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, while Mo Chengkong stood respectfully to the side.

"Young Master, since you've returned, should we continue evacuating the branches?" Mo Chengkong asked in a low voice.

"Although our Hundred Herbs Pavilion's experts are all out, many branches are still under attack during their evacuation, suffering significant losses."

Li Changsheng's eyelids lifted slightly as he replied indifferently:

"Personally take action and wipe out two of the factions bold enough to attack. Then bring back the members of the other branches."

"With such a fat piece of meat on the table, those determined to side with the Crown Prince's residence won't let it go. Wait for them to come to Pearl City and then eliminate them all in one fell swoop."

A day later.

News spread throughout the South Li Empire that the Long River Sword Sect and the Purple Moon Sect—both with Tribulation Transcendence cultivators—had been annihilated by the Hundred Herbs Pavilion's Human Immortal powerhouse.

Countless factions that had been itching to act were doused with cold water. They suddenly remembered that the Hundred Herbs Pavilion had a Human Immortal powerhouse. Until the Crown Prince's residence made its move, none of these factions without Human Immortals could withstand the retaliation of a single Human Immortal.

They all pulled back.

However, these factions were naturally unwilling to give up such a lucrative target. They gathered in Feng City, not far from Pearl City.

In just one day, Feng City was filled with more than thirteen Tribulation Transcendence cultivators, alongside countless Great Ascension and lower-level cultivators.

The Crown Prince's residence's experts also quietly arrived in Feng City.

Li Changsheng was unaware of the events in Feng City.

He remained in his cave dwelling, where an endless stream of spirit stones was being delivered from the Hundred Herbs Pavilion's storeroom.

In just half a day, his cave dwelling was filled with countless storage bags, each packed with spirit stones.

"Recharge."

[Recharge successful.]

[Balance: 865.4 billion spirit stones. Simulation cost: 10 billion spirit stones per attempt.]

[Would you like to use the cultivation simulator now?]

Looking at the balance displayed on the system panel, a smile appeared on Li Changsheng's face.

Over the years, under Mo Chengkong's leadership, the Hundred Herbs Pavilion's growth had far exceeded his expectations. He had thought that, after operational costs, the pavilion might have saved up 500 billion spirit stones over the century. But the actual harvest was much greater.

Before deducting handling fees, the spirit stone count had already exceeded a trillion.

"Start the simulation!"

First, simulate once normally to see if anything had changed over the past century.

[Simulation begins.]

[Two days later, under the leadership of the Crown Prince's chief steward, dozens of factions allied and marched to Pearl City, intending to attack the Hundred Herbs Pavilion.]

[Mo Chengkong fought alone against the chief steward and two Human Immortals. The Profound Heaven Sect's Sect Master and another Human Immortal cultivator stormed into the Hundred Herbs Pavilion, but you killed them with a flick of your finger.]

[Then you charged out of the Hundred Herbs Pavilion and, with a single finger, crushed two of the three Human Immortals fighting Mo Chengkong. Only the chief steward, severely injured, managed to escape. You pursued and killed him!]

[Your fame spread across the Cangqing Realm, and you were hailed as the Longevity Divine Sovereign!]

[Half a month later, you returned to the Tiannan Domain with Mo Chengkong. First, you found Xi Menxue and Su Qingyu, who had been sent to the Void Lands as per your instructions to evade capture.]

[A month later, you arrived at the Vajra Sect's secret realm, found Luo Mingyuan hiding there, and killed him with a single finger!]

[You brought Xi Menxue, Mo Chengkong, and Su Qingyu to the blessed land to cultivate.]

[You went into seclusion, diligently practicing the Divine Demon Nine Transformations, which progressed steadily.]

[At age 540, the demon race invaded, plunging the entire Cangqing Realm into a great calamity. The blessed land's location was exposed. You emerged from seclusion and single-handedly charged into the demon camp, slaughtering a million demons.]

[Another month later, you were ambushed by the demon race. A million demons, led by the Demon Crown Prince, formed a grand formation and attacked you.]

[You fought them for half a day, annihilating all million demons. Only the Demon Crown Prince remained among the demon elites.]

[The Demon Crown Prince summoned a mysterious powerhouse from the demon realm for a single strike. You fought desperately but were ultimately obliterated!]

[You died!]

[Simulation ends.]

"Huuu…"

Li Changsheng let out a long breath.

Before entering the blessed land, he had instructed Mo Chengkong to send Xi Menxue and Su Qingyu to Old Gu's place once the barrier outside the Tiannan Domain opened. As expected, after being sent there, Luo Mingyuan couldn't find Xi Menxue.

"Choose option two!"

As Li Changsheng made his choice, a surge of immense qi and blood energy flooded into his body, causing the golden light on his bones to shine even brighter.

"I'll need about forty more simulations to reach the ninth transformation of the Divine Demon Nine Transformations!"

Li Changsheng murmured as he opened his eyes.

After condensing the Immortal Spirit Body, what originally required a hundred simulations to reach the ninth transformation now only needed a few dozen.

He had saved up hundreds of billions of spirit stones.

Moreover, according to the Divine Demon Nine Transformations' description, upon reaching the ninth transformation, one could condense the Divine Demon Body, possessing a physique akin to that of a young divine demon.

"The body of a young divine demon, I hope it doesn't disappoint!"

"Again!"

[… You diligently practiced the Divine Demon Nine Transformations in the blessed land. At age 540, you were killed by the Demon Crown Prince's summoned mysterious demon powerhouse!]

[… At age 545, you hid in the Void Lands where Old Gu resided. The demon elites found the Void Lands, and the Demon Crown Prince led an attack. You killed them all, but the Demon Crown Prince, before dying, summoned the mysterious demon powerhouse for a strike. However, Old Gu intercepted it.]

[Old Gu's intervention attracted the attention of an unknown entity from the immortal realm. A giant hand descended from the immortal realm into the Cangqing Realm and obliterated the entire palace!]

[You died!]

[… At age 545, you died!]

[… At age 370, while practicing the Divine Demon Nine Transformations in the blessed land, you successfully reached the ninth transformation!]

[At age 540, the demon race invaded. You took action, and the Demon Crown Prince, before dying, summoned the mysterious demon powerhouse for a strike, severely injuring you.]

[Three days later, you died from your injuries!]

"Choose option two!"

Without hesitation, Li Changsheng chose the second option.

Boom!

An enormous surge of qi and blood energy flooded into Li Changsheng's body. His body rapidly expanded, transforming into a hundred-meter-tall giant.

Fortunately, the cave dwelling Mo Chengkong had prepared for Li Changsheng was massive, standing hundreds of meters tall, carved into the divine mountain behind the Hundred Herbs Pavilion headquarters.

Moreover, the cave dwelling was surrounded by arrays, preventing the commotion inside from leaking out.

Even so, the cultivators at the Hundred Herbs Pavilion headquarters suddenly felt as if Mount Tai had descended on them, crushing their breath.

"What… what's going on?"

A Great Ascension cultivator who had just returned from a branch turned pale. "Has the Crown Prince's residence finally made their move?"

"Where's Mr. Mo?"
