After explaining the matters of the West Mountain Spiritual Plant Garden, Yi Tian hurried back to his cave abode, claiming that he needed to cultivate in seclusion.
In fact, he wanted to use this time to properly raise the Cloud Dream Toad. After all, if this little fellow were to rely on someone else, his secrets might be leaked. It wasn't that he didn't trust Hua Yuxin, but this cheap brother-in-law liked to gossip. If anything were to slip up, he would be the one in trouble.
After laying down layers of restrictions in his cave abode, Yi Tian sat cross-legged in the middle before summoning the Cloud Dream Toad from his Beast Pouch. He saw that it was still lying on top of the wine pot, dozing off as usual.
When he took out a few Seven-Star Gu Bugs and placed them beside it, the toad's eyes suddenly opened. It then opened its mouth and stretched out its tongue to suck the Seven-Star Gu Bugs into its mouth.
After chewing a few times, it swallowed the Seven-Star Gu Bugs into its stomach. Only then did the Cloud Dream Toad reveal a satisfied smile. Then, it croaked a couple of times at him as a greeting before closing its eyes and going back to sleep.
Seeing its behavior, Yi Tian couldn't get angry. He then reached out and opened up a separate space in the cave, placing the toad and the wine pot inside.
After doing this, Yi Tian took out the jar that he had dug out from under Old Qingfeng City. On the surface, there didn't seem to be anything strange, but upon closer inspection, the sealing talisman on the seal had begun to emit wisps of black gas.
Needless to say, this was the counterattack of the Demon Clan sealed inside. If ignored, it would break out of the jar in less than a hundred years. At that time, it would be unthinkable to recover its strength by absorbing the Demon Qi from the Demon Marks in Old Qingfeng City.
He took out a talisman pen and quickly drew a sealing formation on the open space in front of him, then placed the jar at the eye of the formation. He activated the formation while chanting. In an instant, the spiritual energy absorbed by the formation flowed along the jar into the sealing talisman, forcibly expelling the wisps of Black Demon Qi inside.
After doing this, Yi Tian reached out and took out the glass Buddha beads and placed them on the outside of the jar. Then, he raised the Vajra Demon-subduing Pestle and placed it on top. Immediately, the Demonic Qi seemed to have sensed the existence of its nemesis and completely withdrew. Not a single trace of it leaked out.
Only then did Yi Tian feel relieved. He reached out his hand and gently removed the seal on the jar. He opened the bottle cap and said, "Demon, come out quickly."
A strand of black demonic qi seeped out and was instantly purified by the surrounding Buddha's light. Another sharp and urgent voice could be heard from the jar, "You spirit cultivators don't keep your word. After tricking me into cooperating, you even suppressed me for thousands of years. In the end, you still want to settle the score and eliminate the source of the problem."
"Oh, where did you come from? Hurry up and reveal your true form, "Yi Tian said disdainfully.
"If I don't come out, what can you do to me?" That sharp voice sounded again.
This angered Yi Tian. He snorted coldly and aimed the Vajra Exorcism Pestle at the mouth of the jar. At the same time, he secretly used a spell seal to shine a beam of golden light into the jar.
After three breaths of time, there was a burst of howls. The demon inside was unable to resist the purification of the golden light and cried out in pain.
After slowly withdrawing the power of purification from the Vajra Exorcism Pestle, Yi Tian asked, "Hurry up and come out. Otherwise, I'll directly send you to the afterlife."
"Why did a Buddha Spirit Realm cultivator like you come to the Spirit Realm to help?" At the same time, a strand of black demonic qi emerged from the mouth of the jar and condensed into the appearance of a three inch tall demon.
Surrounded by the Vajra Exorcism Pestle and the Vajra Exorcism Pestle, the demon could only glare at Yi Tian with great indignation. But when he turned around, he saw that the lid of the jar had been closed at some unknown time. His expression greatly changed and he didn't dare to do anything else. He lowered his head in silence.
A moment later, after Yi Tian finished sizing up the demon, he asked again, "Tell me your name. Why were you sealed in this jar?"
"I am the number one think tank under the Sacred Demon Crown Prince, Xu Qiu." The three inch tall demon raised his head and puffed out his chest.
His words were filled with arrogance, but the surrounding golden light shot straight at him. Yi Tian said with disdain, "What are you bragging about? The Sacred Demon Crown Prince is at least a Grand Ascension Stage cultivator. With your cultivation, you dare to call yourself the number one think tank?"
Under the purification of the Vajra Exorcism Pestle, Xu Qiu gradually felt dizzy and the demonic qi in his body was quickly extracted. His expression fell and he begged for mercy, "Sir, please spare me. I am only the internal affairs officer under the Sacred Demon Crown Prince."
"You still dare to quibble?" Yi Tian shouted, "Do you really think I'm an idiot? If you want to get close to the Sacred Demon Crown Prince, you have to be at least a Body Integration Stage cultivator. Don't tell me you were at Body Integration Stage before."
Being illuminated by the golden light, the demon's presence weakened a bit. After a while, he breathed heavily and said, "I am an assistant under the internal affairs officer. I am responsible for assisting sir in dealing with the Sacred Demon Crown Prince's orders."
That's more like it. Yi Tian asked again, "Just now you said why the spirit cultivator went back on his word. What did you do that caused you to not be killed but instead sealed here?"
At this point, Xu Qiu only had half his life left after being purified. Breathing heavily, he replied, "At the time, the Sacred Demon Crown Prince was defeated, and the passage back to the Demon Spirit Realm was cut off by the Feiyu Kenshū Sect's Grand Ascension Stage cultivators. Under the siege of the Spirit Realm's 100 races, he could only defend Qingfeng City. "
"At the time, why did you invade the Spirit Realm? I don't believe that the Sacred Demon Crown Prince would start a war between realms for no reason." Yi Tian asked.
"I don't know the details, but I heard the internal affairs officer say that other than obtaining resources, he also wanted to find a spirit treasure passed down from the Heaven Realm." Xu Qiu weakly said.
"A spirit treasure from the Heaven Realm?" Yi Tian's expression did not change when he heard this, but he was shocked in his heart. Could it be the seal in his body? But he immediately rejected that idea. Qian Lingzi and Luo Que had only investigated this matter three to four thousand years ago. It was far from the demon disaster eight thousand years ago. It should be something else. Then he asked, "What is it?"
Xu Qiu trembled as he said, "I heard the internal affairs officer mention it once. It seems to be a picture."
Yi Tian's expression relaxed and his heart gradually calmed down. His gaze swept past Xu Qiu's body, and a strange smile appeared on his face. He opened his mouth and instantly used the Eight Heavenly Thunder Sounds. The Buddhist sound enveloped Xu Qiu's body and directly knocked him out.
An hour later, Xu Qiu's body was placed back into the Demon Sealing Altar, and Yi Tian once again strengthened the seal. Only then did he slowly sit down and think.
He had just invaded Xu Qiu's sea of knowledge through the soul search technique, and the fragmented information he had obtained more or less confirmed what he had said.
However, he had also obtained two pieces of useful information. Firstly, the Holy Demon Crown Prince had not perished. Instead, he had been sealed deep within Clearwind City. It was Martial Ancestor Wu Ye who had taken action back then. It was most likely that his split personality had something to do with this matter as well. He wasn't stupid enough to think that the Holy Demon Crown Prince would be killed so easily. It would be very difficult for these Grand Ascension cultivators to completely destroy him.
Secondly, the internal affairs officer, who was Xu Qiu's superior, had been sealed in the Fiend Cave. Perhaps the voice he had heard back then was that officer's. In that case, it appeared that the Spirit Realm was definitely not as peaceful as he had imagined. The remnants of the Demon Race were still wreaking havoc everywhere, and the three great sects were still secretly fighting against each other.
As for the mission he had taken to erase the demonic marks in Clearwind City, it appeared that the Holy Demon Crown Prince was the cause. He did not want to face those Grand Ascension cultivators, even if they were sealed.
