This demonic beast that had yet to show itself should be at the same level as him.
To be able to use spells to fight against the Origin Returning Sword, it was at least at the peak of the fifth stage.
Coupled with the bloodline of a divine beast, even a peak Yuanying cultivator might not be able to match him.
After returning to the Jade Spring Peak, Wang Daoyuan immediately sent a message to Zhou Luan, his master, and the cultivators guarding the Archaic Mysteries Sect.
With the appearance of such a powerful demonic beast, there might be more of them.
Although they did not have the ability to deal with peak fifth stage demonic beasts, they should be able to protect the sect with the help of the methods left behind by their ancestors.
This was to prevent them from being ambushed and killed by the demonic beasts.
With such an opponent that he was not confident of defeating, he had to increase his strength.
It was still unknown how many such experts he would have to face in the future.
If it was just one expert of such strength, it would not be a problem.
Although the opponent was strong, it was not to the point where he could crush him.
The difference in strength between the two sides was not big, so the opponent could not defeat him.
Wang Daoyuan released the gray roc and the red-feathered crow to be on guard in the Wang Family's territory in case they were ambushed.
He himself was working hard to increase his strength in the underground cave.
In addition to increasing his cultivation, he would also take time to comprehend the Origin Returning Sword Diagram.
The Origin Returning Sword Diagram that he obtained in the Seven Stars Heavenly Palace's Ziwei Hall was left behind by the Origin Returning Sword Immortal.
Comprehending this Origin Returning Sword Diagram was extremely beneficial to the growth of his sword intent and the comprehension of new sword intents.
His divine abilities were already strong enough to deal with multiple upper-grade fifth stage demonic beasts at the same time.
But against a peak fifth stage half-divine beast, he could only guarantee that he would not be defeated.
If he wanted to kill his opponent, it was not enough to rely on divine abilities alone.
His current strongest technique was still Yinglong's Demon Slaying Sword.
The power of Yinglong's Demon Slaying Sword depended on the strength of the five natal magic artifacts, the growth of the embryonic form of the artifact spirit, the increase of his own strength, and the strength of his sword intent.
Natal magic artifacts could not grow quickly and could only be done step by step.
The growth of the embryonic form of the artifact spirit was even more difficult.
It would take at least a few decades for it to take shape.
His own strength was also his cultivation. Naturally, he could not give up on this, but to break through to the next realm, he needed time.
Previously, when he broke through to the mid-stage Yuanying, he was on a Rank 5 Volcanic Island with a Rank 5 Spirit Vein.
He used his spiritual fire to burn a large amount of lava into spiritual energy for his own use. He even took dozens of Nascent Cultivating Pills.
Even so, it still took ten years.
Right now, he didn't lack Nascent Cultivating Pills, but he didn't have enough spiritual energy.
Even if there were five spiritual veins in the space of the Spiritual Pearl, it could not be compared to a Rank 5 volcano.
In a short period of time, his cultivation could increase slightly, but breaking through to the late stage of Yuanying was very difficult.
The only thing that could improve quickly was his sword intent.
Previously, he had used the White Tiger Sword Intent as his foundation and fused the Killing Sword Intent, the Imposing Sword Intent, and the Penetrating Sword Intent.
To improve the Sword Intent, it could improve the four Sword Intents that had already been fused, and it could also fuse new Sword Intents.
Killing and Penetration were mainly used to attack the opponent's physical body, while Majestic Sword Intent was used to intimidate the soul.
What he needed to deal with were demonic beasts. These fellows' souls were relatively weak.
Using the method of intimidating their souls to deal with them was the most suitable.
The White Tiger Soul Subduing Roar was barely enough to deal with an Upper Rank 5 demonic beast, and it was not very useful for a Peak Rank 5 demonic beast.
Therefore, he planned to comprehend another Sword Intent that could intimidate the soul.
When using Yinglong's Demon Slayer Sword, the most frightening thing was not the lack of power, but not being able to touch the opponent.
Previously, when he killed Snake Xiu in the Archaic Arcanum Sect, he had dodged the attacks of the Sword of Origin Restoring many times.
An Upper Rank 5 demonic beast could dodge many attacks, let alone a Peak Rank 5 demonic beast.
Similar to the Imposing Sword Intent were the Emperor Sword Intent and the Soul Subduing Sword Intent.
Comprehending these two Sword Intents was not difficult for Wang Daoyuan.
After all, he was one of the leaders of the human race, and he had been an Emperor for decades. He had the foundation to comprehend the Emperor Sword Intent.
The Soul Subduing Sword Intent could directly attack the soul, and it was connected to the White Tiger Soul Subduing Roar, so it was not difficult to comprehend.
It didn't take much time to comprehend these two new Sword Intents.
In less than half a month in the space, he had only comprehended two Sword Intents.
Fusing them was not too difficult. A few months in the space was enough. The improvement was the most important.
After cultivating in the Jade Spring Peak for two years, the spirit vein in the Heaven Slash Mountain Range had completely reached the level of Lower Rank 5.
Moreover, the rising momentum of the spirit qi had only weakened slightly. There was still a lot of momentum.
When it stabilized, the spirit vein in the Heaven Slash Mountain Range might grow to Middle Rank 5.
Stabilizing did not mean that it would no longer increase, but the increase would be slower. It might take a few hundred years for it to be obvious.
It would not be like now, where he could feel the spirit qi density increasing all the time.
At the same time, other higher-grade spirit veins were also affected by the Heaven Slash Mountain Range, and the spirit qi density began to increase.
Master also sent news that spirit qi with the power of laws had already appeared at the Treasure Cauldron Mountain. It would not be long before it could support cultivators to break through to the Yuanying realm.
The Wang family's territory was also affected. The spirit vein in Fallen Dragon Ridge had now been upgraded to Lower Rank 3.
At the Purple Gold River branch, in the depths of the Heaven Slash Mountain Range, there were already many Level Five spirit qi.
The Jade Spring Peak had just leveled up, but the spirit qi density had increased slightly.
On the other hand, the spirit vein in Qingli City had finally been upgraded to Lower Rank 4 after integrating with the Five Elements Essence for several years.
Moreover, the speed of improvement did not decrease. Instead, it showed signs of gradually accelerating.
Zhou Luan also sent news that Level Five spirit qi had begun to appear at the Blood Shadow headquarters. It would not be long before it could support cultivators to break through to the Yuanying realm.
If they were willing to take the risk, they could go to the Heaven Slash Mountain Range to transcend the tribulation now.
In the past two years, the demon race's activities had clearly decreased.
It was obvious that they were preparing for a big battle.
The demon race would not watch the human race's strength explode. A conflict between the two races could erupt at any time.
What was lacking now was a fuse.
At this moment, Zhong Zhenyang from Shanbei sent news that many demon beasts had gathered in the east of their fief.
He captured a Level Four demon beast alive. After searching its soul, he found out that a demon beast was about to break through to Level Five.
This demon beast was Yan Hui from the Black Flame Tiger Tribe. He was also Wang Daoyuan's old friend.
Yan Hui was worried that the human race would get involved, so he invited a few demon race guardians who were on good terms with him.
In the end, when the news spread, many Level Four demon beasts went to learn, and the result was a big commotion.
Back then, when they were dealing with refined corpses, they had fought side by side and called each other brothers.
However, in front of the greater good of the race, personal friendship was nothing.
If the demon race had another Level Five demon beast, the human race would be in more danger, and their losses would be greater.
For the survival of the human race and the Wang family, no matter how good their relationship was, they had to kill Yan Hui.
Wang Daoyuan left the gray roc and the red-feathered crow behind to watch over the house while he boarded a high-grade Rank 5 flying boat and headed northeast.
More than two hours later, the flying boat arrived at the place Zhong Zhenyang mentioned.
At this time, there were no tribulation clouds, and Yan Hui had not started to transcend the tribulation.
Zhong Zhenyang transmitted his voice to him, "Retired Emperor, I'm here."
Wang Daoyuan immediately put away the flying boat, hid his figure, and came to Zhong Zhenyang's hiding place.
After not seeing him for decades, Zhong Zhenyang was close to the end of his life, and his body was shrouded in a decaying aura.
Zhong Zhenyang continued, "The place where Yan Hui is transcending the tribulation is in a valley two thousand miles north.
The demon race is also prepared, and there are Level Five demon beasts there.
When I went to investigate before, I was almost discovered.
I didn't dare to get too close, and I can't be sure how many demon beasts there are. "
"It's easy now that you know where it is. I'll go and deal with them. You can go back first."
Zhong Zhenyang looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. Wang Daoyuan said directly, "If you have something to say, say it."
He nodded. "I have a presumptuous request. Since the Retired Emperor allows me to say it, then I'll boldly say it.
My lifespan has been exhausted, and I've collected some five-element spiritual objects over the years.
There are no seedlings in the clan who can break through to the Yuanying realm, so these spiritual objects are useless. I want to try to break my core and form my Nascent Soul.
I dare to ask the Retired Emperor to protect me after dealing with the demon beasts. "
