With the shark leading, the road was smooth . They passed many dangerous places and entered a deep valley . They bunched together, thinking to themselves, “The immortal root was hidden in such an obscure place . No wonder we couldn't find it . ”
Wu Yu was behind the group, and a good distance away . He was in no hurry .
"Quickly, quickly!"
Those in front exhorted the shark to move more quickly .
"The immortal root is about to show itself . "
Wu Yu thought of Jiang Junlin stealing away the Lifegiving Fruit . If he had managed to get his hands on that precious Lifegiving Fruit back then, he would not have needed to come into this Valley of Immortal Fate to compete .
"I wonder if Jiang Junlin has reached the fifth tier of the Qi Condensation Realm and laid down the ultimate immortal roots . Who knows if he is my match now?"
He was clear that his own dao techniques had grown significantly as well .
It was said that dao techniques were imparted from true immortals to mortals .
Just as Wu Yu was thinking about these things, there was a commotion in front . Wu Yu immediately went to take a look .
"Damn it, it's the Black Bear Spirit . He must be here to save the shark . "
A few Heavenly Sword Sect disciples were engaged in combat .
Lan Shuiyue and her group were at a disadvantage, and therefore no longer hid at the back . They entered the fray . This way, they could contest for the immortal roots from a higher moral ground .
"If we capture the Black Bear Spirit, we'll have two immortal roots!"
As expected, they wanted to take down the Black Bear Spirit on the spot .
However, it was undeniable that their dao techniques were all very polished . Especially their sword cultivation - although these techniques were rarely honed on actual demons, they were very effective in battle .
Many sword dao techniques filled the air, sending all the poisonous insects, birds, and beasts in the area scurrying .

Roar!
The Black Bear Spirit suddenly raised a mountain again, which stood between him and the disciples . He could not save the shark demon, but instead chose to escape again .
Evidently, he could not hold up against the combined attacks from so many disciples .
Wu Yu was just deciding if he should lend a hand when the Black Bear Spirit had already escaped again . He continued to remain behind . In front, Lan Shuiyue and the other disciples were conferring . They joined the main group, and they went ahead to contest for the immortal root .
Although the rest were unwilling, Lan Shuiyue was of high status, and she pressured them .
"Esteemed Heavenly Immortals, we are almost there . Please follow me," the shark demon simpered as he continued to lead the group within the dark valley . However, Wu Yu noticed that the path seemed to have changed . They were headed for the even deeper underground . The poisonous lifeforms on this path were teeming, and the ground was extremely marshy . The disciples' feet often sank into the mud .
Their surroundings grew darker and darker . Mortals could not even see their outstretched hands in this place . It was an abysmally dark cave, just bigger than normal caves .
"Demon, are you sure it's ahead?" Lan Shuiyue marched up and stared at the shark demon .
"I'm sure . Of course I'm sure . It's not far . Once I bring you all there, this little demon's mission will be complete . " The shark demon chuckled .
True enough, before they had gone too far ahead, there was a broad, underground space . Although it was moist and dank, it looked like a likely place to hide an immortal root .
. . . . . .
In the dark cave, the fox demon inquired curiously, "Senior, what are you doing?"
At this moment, the handsome man was retrieving skulls and arranging them in the underground space . Soon, there were 99 of them displayed .
"Making a spirit design . "
"Spirit design . . . . Isn't that something that only seniors with Yaodan can fashion?" The fox demon's face was full of reverent wonder .
"Indeed . I'm copying it, and putting the needed items down . Although it's not a true spirit design, it can fool some young martial cultivators with ease . " The handsome man laughed lightly . He looked very amiable indeed .
"Qian Er heard that spirit designs are even more marvellous than dao techniques or demon techniques . Even the seniors with Yaodan can only fashion mimicries of spirit designs . If one wishes to create true spirit designs that are perfect, how many tens of thousands of years would it take, I wonder?" the fox demon wondered .

The handsome man looked up with a solemn expression . "Spirit designs are incomparably wondrous . In this aspect, we demons are far behind the humans . Once a human reaches Jindan, they can mimic spirit designs . Once they reach the Realm of the Violet Sea Throne, they have the power to move heaven and earth itself, but still they cannot master spirit designs . Only those who reach the legendary Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm can morph their souls into primordial spirits and truly create spirit designs through the primordial spirits . Ordinary demons cannot cultivate primordial spirits even after tens of millennia . To reach the fabled Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm, one must be a super demon of the finest bloodline . "
"Senior, you mean that in the vastness of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, there are adult demons who have attained the Primordial Spirit Transformation?"
"Definitely, just that we cannot find them . Now stop the pestering . Our prey is almost here . " Saying thus, the handsome man glanced towards the cave mouth, his face changing . His movements sped up as well . Besides the skulls, he also scattered many strange objects in curious positions, even burying some of them in the ground . From above, all of his arrangements formed a huge skull diagram .
"It's done . You stand here and don't move . Or you will also be confused by the ‘spirit design . '" The handsome man placed the fox demon in a position .
"Senior, what is this spirit design called?"
"Lost Heart Design . "
"What does it do?"
"Nothing much . It will cause them to drowse in an illusory world, allowing me to crush them in one hit . Nobody will have the chance to use their Beacon of Flame . "
As he finished speaking, the sound of chatter came from outside . Their prey had already been led here by the shark demon .
"It’s here . " The shark demon entered the Lost Heart Design without hesitation under their bidding . Although this was not a fully formed design, it was still effective against these young disciples of the Qi Condensation Realm .
The immortal root was here, so everyone was very excited . They were guarding against each other and surveying their surroundings . When the shark demon said that the immortal root was inside the spirit design, they all rushed in .
"No time to lose!"
Wu Yu had also entered the cave . It was dark and gloomy . The lure of the immortal root had caused all the disciples to enter a crazed state .
At this moment, only Wu Yu remained outside of the spirit design .
"What's going on?"
From Wu Yu's perspective, the nine disciples and the shark demon seemed to become addled upon entering the Lost Heart Design, looking around them with wide eyes . They looked like they were underwater, their hands and legs flailing wildly .
This was definitely not normal!
"A trap!"

Although he did not know who was behind it, this was definitely a trap! Wu Yu's hair stood on end . Instantly, he chose to retreat, leaving the place . An animal instinct told him that staying here was trouble .
He could see clearly . Lan Shuiyue was looking very comfortable . She had actually lied down on the muddy floor as though it were a cosy bed and gone to sleep peacefully .
All of this was unimaginable to Wu Yu, who had just embarked on the path of dao not long ago!
"Danger!
"Leave!"
He turned to run .
But at this moment, two people appeared behind him . One was an elegant and handsome man, the other the femme fatale - the beguiling fox demon .
"The Demon Fishing Rod doesn't control him!"
Wu Yu was stunned .
In an instant, he realized something . The handsome man was not held by any line from the Demon Fishing Rod .
Only, his strong demonic aura belied that he was definitely an adult demon!
Moreover, he was even more terrifying than the Black Bear Spirit, because the fox demon stood behind him . Clearly, he was the leader .
"This is the Valley of Immortal Fate . How would an uncontrolled demon appear here? Could he have snuck in?"
This was the only reason .
In that instant, fear swamped him . The kind that heralded imminent death .
The demons on the path of dao were plentiful .
The fox demon laughed and said, "Wu Yu, I've finally found you . You deceived me the last time, and I've gone through so much trouble to find you again this time . How could you bully me?"
This line would evoke pity even when uttered by a mortal . But with her demon techniques playing havoc, Wu Yu hurriedly visualized his Inner Ape to avoid falling into the warm heaven of this fox demon and giving his life up .
"Beacon of Flame!"
Wu Yu suddenly recalled the one thing that could save him .
"Keke . "
A pity that the handsome man had already prepared . While the fox demon spoke, he moved . In the blink of an eye, a dark green vine circled his arm . There were many sharp leaves and thorns growing from it, as well as a jade green snake . A green light swirled from inside the vine, and one could make out jade green designs swirling on the leaves .
"Immortal treasure! Demons can use immortal treasures too!"
Wu Yu was certain that this green vine immortal treasure was many times more powerful than the Demon Subduing Staff . Besides Feng Xueya and Lan Huayi's swords, and the Demon Fishing Rod, this was the most terrifying immortal treasure that Wu Yu had laid eyes on .
The moment it appeared, his heart quailed .
It was also a binding-type immortal treasure . The green vine was many times more powerful than the Rainbow Lasso . In an instant, the green vine coiled three times around Wu Yu faster than the eye could see . His arms and legs were held tightly . Most fearsome of all were the sharp leaves and thorns which directly pierced Wu Yu's body .
Deadly pain!
Pssht!
Wu Yu's godlike body was actually pierced, and fresh blood flowed . The piercing pain was indescribable .
Wu Yu had originally intended to use the Beacon of Flame but had been forcibly stopped .
"Don't struggle . It's no use . The Viridescent Ivy is not something you can beat . The more you struggle, the more it hurts . No need to worry . Senior has already given you to me . For a while, you won't die . " The fox demon giggled . That seductive smile was something that he would not forget as long as he lived .
Viridescent Ivy .
True enough, as long as Wu Yu did not struggle, the Viridescent Ivy only bound him but did not attack him .
At this moment, Wu Yu could see that the Black Bear Spirit had also walked in . He suddenly thought of the time when the Black Bear Spirit had attacked . In a flash of understanding, he knew that this handsome man must have ordered the Black Bear Spirit to do so, and also instructed the shark demon to bring them here . This was all a plot . But what could their motive be?
"The fox demon says that I won't die for now . Does that mean that all of them will?"
This thought caused Wu Yu to inhale sharply .
