In the end, the Psionic Demon Immortals escaped from the pursuit of the various fairyland powers, and they hid their identities in order to create the Holy Birch Sect in the white-headed Star Region.
However, in the end, the Spirit Demon Immortal had to pay a painful price. After being hunted down by various forces, the Spirit Demon Tree in its body suffered an unrecoverable injury. A third of its roots were cut off, and its life force was unable to be contained.
For the next thousand years, the former Demon Immortal had been working hard to prevent his life force from slipping away, trying to extend his lifespan as much as possible. He had even tried to mend his damaged roots and reincarnate back to the ranks of the immortal.
Yet another thousand years had passed. Even with the help of the long lifespan of a Spirit Demon, in the end, he was still unable to return to the ranks of the Immortal Realm. In order to delay the flow of life as much as possible, it had lowered the cultivation of its incarnation time and time again, from the peak of the first generation Sect Leader, the Golden Hall Realm, to the time when Duke Bai Hua was in the early stages of the Thunder Tribulation Realm.
That's right, although the Holy Birch Sect had passed down for four generations, the sect heads of these four generations were actually only using their spiritual demons to control the external bodies of the Holy Birch Sect.
The legacy of the secret incarnation technique he inherited from the Psionic Demon Immortal was from the Starry Sky Ruins that he had explored back then. However, it was derived from his own hands, and the power that the avatar used was from the branches of the Spirit Tree in the Psionic Demon Immortal's true body.
Just one branch of the ten-thousand-year White Birch Spirit Demon Tree was enough to use the Body Transformation Technique. Even though the object it used was a part of its main body and the Spirit Demon itself was an Immortal that had once stepped into the fairyland, a part of its main body could still be used as a Body Transformation, let alone the Spirit Demon Tree itself.
It had to be known that this was a demon tree that had once stepped into the realm of immortals. If Yang Junshan wanted to refine it into an external body, what did it have to do with its damaged roots?
Even if the roots of the Spirit Demon Tree were cut off, it wouldn't affect Yang Junshan's body at all.
Yang Junshan even had the secret technique to refine an external body avatar. From the knowledge gathered from the years of the White Birch Demon Tree, there was a complete external body avatar inheritance.
What made Yang Junshan's mind wander even more wasn't just the inheritance of the avatar, but also the source of the avatar inheritance. The inheritance brought out from the ruins of the starry sky was the inheritance of the Immortal Realm secret technique related to Immortal Cultivator Primordial Spirit, which was much more valuable than the former. Back then, Duke Bai Hua had relied on this secret technique to injure the Golden Hall Realm Qian Xuan Dao in one go.
The most important thing was, if Yang Junshan's prediction was correct, then that mysterious Primordial Profound Light should still be kept in the body of the White Birch Demon Tree. If Yang Junshan could refine it and transform it into his own body, then that Mysterious Light of Absolute Beginning would most likely be obtained by him.
Yang Junshan was also very interested in this mysterious light that was coveted by many foreign immortals.
However, it was clear that Yang Junshan did not have much time left to complete his body transformation. Three years passed by very quickly and he was not even able to completely seal the immortal arts on the talisman. It had been seven years since he left the Circulatory World.
Yang Junshan had been able to stay in the foreign land for more than seven years. Don't forget, back then, before he had reached the Thunder Tribulation Realm, he had stayed in the foreign land for seven years.
Now that Yang Junshan had advanced to the Lightning Calamity Stage, both his cultivation and strength had improved greatly. Naturally, he couldn't stay outside the region for only seven years.
In fact, when Yang Junshan investigated and estimated the degree of retention of the Soul Mirror in his dantian, he felt that he would still be able to stay outside of this region for at least three to four years.
However, Yang Junshan still decided to immediately stop his seclusion and return to the Circulatory World. This was because no matter if he left or returned, it was impossible to avoid the attention of others, and he didn't want to reveal his trump card.
However, this time, Yang Junshan's return was not hindered much. Although some traces of his return were revealed when he approached the range of the Haotian mirror, Yang Junshan was no longer the same as before. A few short exchanges caused a few of the alien cultivators to retreat, and they watched as Yang Junshan calmly returned and disappeared.
However, Yang Junshan naturally didn't believe this scene, because he could clearly feel that the moment he returned, there were at least three or four spiritual senses watching him from afar. And as he walked towards the Green Stone Square, there were also foreign spiritual senses constantly checking him out before leaving.
Arriving at the Bluestone Square, Yang Junshan saw the incoming Daofather Eastflow. It was obvious that he had come to meet him after hearing the news.
Yang Junshan sensed the aura around Daofather Eastflow and praised, "I'm afraid we'll have to congratulate you on advancing to the Golden Hall Realm soon."
Daoist Eastflow laughed heartily. Sighing, he said, "When I went through the Tribulation Lightning, you were barely in the Dao Realm. Now that you've passed the Tribulation Lightning, I can see that you're on the verge of forming a Dao Body. What's there to congratulate?"
If this was in the past, Yang Junshan would be proud even if his expression didn't change when he heard what Daoist Dongliu said. However, after the connection they had with the ten-thousand-year White Birch Spirit Demon, Yang Junshan had a whole new understanding of the various great sects and their hidden strengths, so he had to be more modest with his words.
"I've been out of the region for several years. I wonder how is the world of cultivation doing?" Yang Junshan asked.
Daoist Eastflow shook his head upon hearing this. He sighed, "There's been some trouble."
Yang Junshan seemed to have expected this scene, he nodded and said, "Not too surprising, after all, the immortal palace sent twelve cultivators to destroy the thunder well passage. Yang Junshan seemed to have expected this, he nodded and said," It's not too surprising, after all, the immortal palace sent twelve cultivators to destroy the thunder well passage.
Of course, Yang Junshan knew that more than five people had died, and at least Qian Xuan Dao would never come back. However, he and Qian Xuan Dao had teamed up and no one else knew about it, so Yang Junshan naturally wouldn't say anything about it. On the contrary, he had to get rid of all the suspicions without leaving any trace, so he asked, "Oh right, when we left the Small Seven Stars Region, we separated and left separately.
Daoist Eastflow said, "Five of you have returned. You are the sixth. Of the twelve cultivators we have sent, aside from the five who perished, only Qian Xuan Dao remains."
Yang Junshan nodded and calmly said, "That Qian Xuandao was not only Dao Ancestor Huang Ting, her own strength was not damaged by the war. Besides, he could stay in the foreign territory for at least ten years. It is normal for him to come back late."
With a look of disdain, he seemed to have towards Qian Xuantao. Presumably, this person's performance when she was surrounded at Violet Cloud Peak had already been brought back to the cultivation world by others, and Daoist Eastflow was clearly one of the first people to understand the situation.1
The two exchanged a few more words of pleasantries. It was roughly because Daofather Eastflow had casually shared a few words about the current developments in the cultivation world. As for Yang Junshan, he gave a brief overview of their trip outside this region.
Only now did Daofather Eastflow change the subject. "Actually, this old man just spoke of some trouble. He didn't mean that you had caused a disturbance in the world of cultivation due to the losses you and the others had suffered outside this region."
Yang Junshan was surprised and asked, "What happened then?"
At this moment, a strange look appeared on Daofather Eastflow's face. There was even a hint of mysteriousness and excitement on his face. He whispered, "Sang Wuji and Daoist Qiu are in trouble. Did you know?"
"Got it, got it?"
Yang Junshan was a little confused at first, but soon he understood what Daoist Dongliu was trying to say. He opened his mouth wide, drew out his tone, and said: "Ah?"
However, he immediately thought of something and quickly added, as if he was afraid of being implicated, "How would I know?"
Immediately afterwards, Yang Junshan's face showed a hint of seriousness and gossip, "What the hell is going on? How did they get involved?"
Even though he had asked, Yang Junshan was somewhat enlightened. Could it be that Sang Wuji was seriously injured because of his "hero saving the beauty"?
Moreover, after everyone had separated, Daoist Qiu had to take care of the injured Sang Wuji. The two of them had moved together, could it be that at that time …
However, this matter was not going to be good, especially for someone like Sang Wuji who had a 'past record' …
Sure enough, Daofather Eastflow continued to speak, "It was probably three years ago. The two of them returned from the outside world, but after just a year, Daoist Zhan Yu had made a huge scene in the Spiritual Spill Sect, causing a huge commotion. Several old monsters of the Spiritual Spill Sect had appeared, but in the end, Daoist Zhan Yu had escaped unscathed.
Yang Junshan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with his eyes wide open, "This is serious, this is really... completely out of my expectations!"
Daofather Eastflow immediately agreed. "Right, right. It must be because the Spirit Apostle Sect knew that they were in the wrong. Even if they were to be called to their doorsteps, they wouldn't dare to do anything to them."
Yang Junshan nodded in agreement.
In the past, many people suspected that there was something fishy going on. They all believed that he and Blueflower had been schemed against by Blueflower when they fought over the position of sect head. Now, however, they were in cahoots with someone else, and regardless of whether they were sincere or not, the reputation of the two of them could be considered to have been completely ruined.
