For the past month, Howling Moon Mountain did not have much peace.
Hundreds of spirit demons were dead and two of the seven protectors were dead – this was a huge matter.
It was said that the demons that died were killed by demons that escaped from the ancient battlefield.
However, there were only five of them and all of them were spirit demons!
During this period of time, every single demon in Howling Moon Mountain was searching for the five of them. They dug three feet into the ground but to no avail.
All the demons realized that the five of them should have already left.
Even if they were hiding in Howling Moon Mountain previously, they would have been scared off by such a huge search.
However, no one noticed that on this day, five fiend demons in human form strutted into the territory of Howling Moon Mountain.
The five fiend demons were none other than Su Zimo's group that was at the center of the storm right now!
"Hehe, puny demons of Howling Moon Mountain, I, Hu Batian, am back!" Linghu grinned.
Qing Qing said, "The demons of Howling Moon Mountain probably wouldn't have thought that we would dare to return here."
Su Zimo smiled. "It's useless even if they think about it. They won't be able to recognize us."
Some spirit demons appeared in the vicinity.
However, when the spirit demons caught sight of Su Zimo's group of five, they did not reveal any strange expressions and merely avoided them with respectful expressions.
The five of them passed through the forest and the sounds of cicadas echoed. However, the five of them were extremely calm.
Back then, they had nowhere to hide because of those inconspicuous cicadas.
But now, those cicadas posed no threat to them at all!
After Su Zimo's group of five cultivated to fiend demons, they could take on human form completely without any traces of demons on them.
Although they could take on human form in the Jin Dan realm as well, there would be demonic qi on them and traces of demons on them as well.
For example, monkey's long fur could not be concealed, Linghu had a human body and a tiger's head and Little Fox's tail would be revealed occasionally …
Right now, even if other fiend demons were to come, they would not be able to recognize the five of them, let alone those ordinary cicadas.
Unless it was an expert whose cultivation realm surpassed theirs, they would not be able to see through their facades.
Su Zimo had a head of red hair, and the muscles on his face were wriggling. After some slight adjustments, he looked like a completely different person.
"Let's go. Let's find a place to settle down and cultivate for a while to stabilize our cultivation."
Su Zimo led Monkey and the others deep into the forest and soon disappeared.
…
One month later.
Late at night, the full moon hung high in the sky.
The clear and bright moonlight shone on the surface of the lake like a mirror.
The lake water was so clear that one could see the bottom. It was as if there was a divine dragon swimming in the water.
A gentle breeze blew past, and the waves sparkled. The divine dragon disappeared, and a silhouette was reflected.
On a bluestone beside the lake, there was a crimson-haired man bathing in the moonlight, swallowing the world.
Every time the man breathed, there would be the sound of waves coming from his body.
Thick Demonic Qi gushed out of his mouth, forming a divine dragon in mid-air. It circled around him before being sucked into his body through his nose.
This cycle repeated over and over again.
The man's aura became more and more terrifying, emitting an endless amount of pressure.
The demons in the vicinity had long stayed far away.
The chirping of the cicadas had already disappeared!
The crimson-haired man was Su Zimo!
They had already cultivated for a month after returning to Howling Moon Mountain.
During this period of time, Su Zimo's cultivation realm had already stabilized.
Dharmic powers had also completed the transformation of his Essence Spirit, bloodline and body.
Right now, Su Zimo was much stronger than he was a month ago!
If he encountered the Black Sand Eclipse of the young master of Black Sand Ridge again, he would be able to dispel it easily even without using Illumination Eye.
For the past month, Su Zimo had gained a lot.
The crimson-haired Yin Spirit cultivated the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness.
The black-haired Essence Spirit cultivated the Purple Thunder Manual and Great Day Rulai Sutra and was already in a good state.
However, there was no movement from the Creation Qinglian.
Su Zimo was not discouraged either. Legend has it that the Creation Qinglian was a being of the immortal world and was incomparably strong. It would be strange if it could be awakened so easily.
Su Zimo took out a Soul Nourishing Blood Ginseng and consumed it before continuing to cultivate.
In the Spirit Platform, the black-haired Essence Spirit sat on the dilapidated and ancient Creation Qinglian. A faint halo appeared behind his head, looking divine and flawless.
Occasionally, purple electric arcs would flash across his body, making crackling sounds.
In the middle of his consciousness, the scarlet-haired Yin Spirit hovered in midair.
As time passed by, the scarlet-haired Yin Spirit's body turned rough and eventually, fiery red scales appeared one after another!
They resembled metal plates that were scorched red!
Those scales were extremely similar to the scales that grew on Su Zimo's body when he transformed into a dragon.
However, those scales were formed from spirit consciousness and were attached to the Essence Spirit.
Right then, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
The so-called Void Reversion realm was to cultivate one's Essence Spirit to the Void Reversion realm. Once one's Essence Spirit reaches the Void Reversion realm, they would be able to leave their bodies and travel thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye.
Under normal circumstances, be it Yin Spirits or Essence Spirits of Nascent Souls, they would not be able to do that.
But now, a bold thought flashed through Su Zimo's mind as he sensed the scales on the scarlet-haired Yin Spirit!
With a single thought, Su Zimo controlled the black-haired Essence Spirit to leave his consciousness and leave his body.
The moment it left his body, the black-haired Essence Spirit shuddered.
Although the temperature outside was normal, it was way too cold for the black-haired Essence Spirit to withstand.
Pshew!
The black-haired Essence Spirit returned to his consciousness hurriedly and continued cultivating.
This time round, Su Zimo controlled the scarlet-haired Yin Spirit and left his consciousness carefully.
It was fine!
The scarlet-haired Yin Spirit that was covered in scales did not feel any discomfort when it arrived outside his body!
Although Su Zimo was secretly delighted, he did not dare to be careless.
For Yin Spirits or Essence Spirits of Nascent Souls, the true threat was the common forces of nature such as exposure to the elements.
Those were unavoidable if one wanted to wander the world spiritually.
Before he was done with that thought, a gust of cold wind blew.
Su Zimo grit his teeth. The scarlet-haired Yin Spirit did not return and remained outside his body.
Despite the cold wind, the scarlet-haired Yin Spirit remained motionless and was not harmed at all under the protection of its scales!
Su Zimo was delighted.
If he was not wrong, those scales were the spirit consciousness dragon scales that grew from the cultivation of the Yin Spirit section!
Gradually, Su Zimo's guts grew.
The scarlet-haired Yin Spirit shuttled through the air at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind streaks of red light.
This was what it meant to travel thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye!
Initially, it was something that could only be achieved by a Void Reversion Essence Spirit. However, Su Zimo had already achieved it by cultivating the Yin Spirit section of the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness!
The scarlet-haired Yin Spirit stood in midair and looked at its body on the green stone.
It looked at itself.
It was a mysterious feeling.
It was even more intuitive than the detection of spirit consciousness!
Furthermore, the scarlet-haired Yin Spirit could soar through the world and its detection range was even further than spirit consciousness!
Su Zimo was in high spirits and decided to wander Howling Moon Mountain at night with his scarlet-haired Yin Spirit.
Once the Essence Spirit left the body and the consciousness was empty, the physical body was equivalent to a shell without a soul or consciousness.
Even if the physical body encountered danger, it would not know how to defend or dodge.
Therefore, before the Essence Spirit left the body, cultivators would hide their bodies in a secret place to prevent their enemies from discovering them.
However, Su Zimo was not worried about that at all.
Even after the scarlet-haired Yin Spirit left, there was still an Essence Spirit in his consciousness!
