the demonic race. You think Zhao Yuanduo could have survived if he hadn't handed over the Dingfeng Stone” 。“With a cold snort, Xiang Kuang said, “Besides, of the Zhao clan members who were with us,...>

“He disappeared after arriving here.” Lu Xiaoteng’s figure flashed as he approached the demonic cave, sensing the chaotic and jumbled energy within. But Yin Pengtuo Shi's aura had ceased to exist at this point.

Along the way, Lu Xia Tian naturally sensed Su Qing's fleeing traces. Perhaps she was chased too closely by Yin Peng Tuo Shi, to the point where Su Qing no longer had time, or even meaning, to conceal her aura. According to Lu Xia Tian's deduction, Su Qing probably realized that she couldn't shake off Yin Peng Tuo Shi, so she took the risk of seeking refuge in this place. However, with Su Qing's soul strength, surviving in this demon cave would be extremely difficult, let alone facing the pursuit of Yin Peng Tuo Shi.

And within this demonic lair, Lu Xia Tian also faintly sensed several powerful auras that made him wary. However, with Su Qing inside, Lu Xia Tian had no reason to retreat in the face of difficulty.

Lu Xia Tian took a step into the demon's lair, still unable to sense Su Qing and Yin Peng Tuo Shi's auras. The only clue was gone.

On the contrary, ripples surged before him, forming three humanoid phantoms in an instant, resembling accomplished high monks. However, deep within their eyes flickered a terrifying demonic aura.

“I’ve come here only to look for someone, and I don't want to disturb your place. Have you seen my junior sister, the queen of the Void Devouring Ghost Ants” Lu Xiaoteng stretched out a finger, and Su Qing's shadow condensed into shape in mid-air.

>

“Amitabha Buddha, anyone who enters the demon's lair will not want to live and leave. Master, you actually want to come here to look for someone, first consider your own situation.” The slightly plump monk smiled calmly.

"In that case, let us fight then. While others fear the chanting of scriptures within this demon's den, it holds little use for me." Lu Xia Tian's voice trailed off as he took a step forward.

>

As soon as I stepped out, lotus leaves had sprouted all around, quickly forming a sea of black lotuses.

“What’s going on” A round-faced monk with eyes full of surprise, the surrounding cacophony and vast chanting of sutras seemed to have no effect on Lu Xia Tian, this outsider.

This was their first encounter. Could the other party already be a powerful Immortal Monarch No, that couldn't be right. From the aura emanating from them, it seemed to be on par with their own realm and didn't seem particularly superior.

Perhaps there's a treasure in his body that can subdue this temple's chanting. "Mind your own business," Lu Xiaottian appeared before the three monks in an instant, pressing down with a palm strike that enveloped them all within its reach. Infinite pressure built upon their heads, causing the three monks' faces to change drastically. They simultaneously felt a deadly threat. Boom! Boom! Boom! The three monks threw out a string of Buddhist beads that spun and held back the immense palm print, then quickly retreated backward. However, the black lotus's emitted black light formed a barrier that directly blocked the three monks. The descending giant palm print, surrounded by lotus shadows, completely confined them.

"Now, answer me again, did you see the person I'm looking for" Lu Xia Tian's eyes were calm yet held an endless chill.

"Trespassing into the Soul-Devouring Demon Cave, death awaits!" The lean monk on the left continued to bellow. Boom! Under the restraint of the lotus petal shadow, a gigantic palm strike crashed down, directly shattering the opponent's defense and slamming into the three monks. A heart-wrenching scream erupted as the three monks, who were not physical entities themselves, exploded, revealing three gray bone-like objects inside. "Soul-Corrupted Relics" Lu Xia Tian reached out and grasped the three beads in his palm. These three monks were manifestations of Soul-Corrupted Relics. Their true bodies had vanished millions of years ago, but they clung to existence in this eerie place through these relics. By joining forces, they could rival some nascent soul entities, especially within the Mad Monk's Soul-Devouring Demon Cave, where they enjoyed a geographical advantage, often holding their own against opponents with greater strength. However, none of that mattered to Lu Xia Tian.

This place is a chaotic spirit labyrinth, the chanting that most Yuanshen bodies consider a terrifying monster wave proves ineffective against Lu Xia Tian.

Lu Xia Tian's divine soul was not only powerful, even surpassing the level of Immortal Monarchs, but he had also cultivated the Dragon Soul Battle Armor, a top-tier divine soul technique renowned throughout countless worlds.

These sounded like the chanting of countless monks, like a raging storm, yet they were not enough to shake Lu Xia Tian.

After losing their greatest reliance, the three monks transformed from the ashes of an evil soul were naturally easily suppressed by Lu Xia Tian. Lu Xia Tian frowned slightly, although he had killed the three opponents, there was still no joy in his heart. Even if a casual monk reached this high level of cultivation, he was not immune to fear of death. However, the three men just now did not show such emotions. Perhaps it was due to the influence of the demonic chanting that they had been subjected to for years after losing their physical bodies.

If the other monks encountered later are like this, it would be troublesome. Lu Xia Tian is not afraid of fighting and killing, but this kind of killing is meaningless in his search for Su Qing. "I hope they aren't all stubborn existences like this." Lu Xia Tian sighed slightly, then his eyes became firm again. If there's a better way to find someone, that's naturally good. If not, and the other party insists on blocking his path, Lu Xia Tian doesn't mind killing his way through until he can't kill anymore.

The just-past duel was merely an appetizer. These three Ethereal Soul Relics are quite valuable. Whether used for alchemy or to cultivate certain techniques, they offer immense benefits.

For Lu Xia Tian, the use of alchemy is greater, and for some things that can be used in the Qingguo barrier, it is even more rare to find.

"A few cheap Jin Gu demon monks have been dealt with." Lu Xia Tian's divine sense moved, and several E-soul relics flew to the Qingguo barrier, one of which flew towards the Jin Gu demon monk.

"Such a powerful soul fluctuation within! Thank you, Eastern Dan Saint!" The Golden Gu Demon Monk received the item with great delight. This Ethereal Soul Relic was of some use to Lu Xiaoteng, but it couldn't be used to refine his primordial spirit.

However, Lu Xia Tian doesn't need to improve his soul. For someone like the Golden Gu Demon Monk who has only recently broken through a realm, this would be a great boon.

Their need to enhance their primordial spirits was even more pressing than directly increasing their internal laws of power. After all, someone like Lu Xia Tian was just an exception.

“This Golden Gu Mo Seng fellow is truly blessed.” Kong Shan and Yan Ping each received an E-soul Relic as well.

Although the three of them were practicing separately in seclusion, Kong Shan reckoned that even he had obtained one, since Lu Xiaottian’s Golden Gu Mo Seng and Yan Ping would definitely have gotten some as well.

Although this extremely rare treasure is of great use to all three of them, it also differs in its benefits. Someone like a Golden Gu Demon Monk who practices Buddhist techniques would undoubtedly reap more advantages.

When they were at the level of Da Luo Jinxian, the three of them had almost equal strength. However, based on their current progress, if nothing unexpected happens, the gap between the two and the Golden Gu Demon Monk will only gradually widen.

Every step forward, using this Asura Relics to enhance one's primordial spirit brings great benefits for future cultivation. The Golden Worm Demon Monk's primordial spirit enhancement is even greater, and the benefits in the future will be even more apparent.

"Amitabha Buddha, benefactor, you are not a demon, I hope you will leave this place as soon as possible." After disposing of the three monks, Lu Xiaitian continued forward for a short while, and another kind voice stopped him.

The opponent persuaded Lu Xiaitian with kind words, and around them, rolls of bamboo slips floated gently. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of bamboo slips blocked in front of Lu Xiaitian.

"Have you ever seen my younger sister" Lu Xiaoteng stretched out his hand and pointed to the void, and Su Qing's image appeared.

"This monk has been guarding this territory, never venturing out, nor seeing any outsiders. I have never met this female donor before." The voice from the bamboo slip echoed through the air.

“Then get out of my way.” Lu Xia Tian nodded. He wasn’t going to kill everyone he met, but he wouldn’t be polite to anyone who dared to block his path. He hadn’t sensed any Immortal Sovereign-level power yet. Judging from the current situation, although there were strong people in this demonic cave comparable to him, if they dared to stop him, before finding Su Qing, Lu Xia Tian wouldn’t mind creating a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

"Amitabha Buddha, Master, you are an outsider and cannot freely pass through the Demon Cave." The existence within these tens of thousands of bamboo slips was not willing to let him go easily. "In that case, then let us fight!" Before his words could fall, Lu Xiaotian took a step forward, manifesting his six-foot tall, shapeless golden body! Om, purple and gold light surged all over his body. At this time, Lu Xiaotian was no longer satisfied with circling and playing around with the opponent, that was too time-consuming.

As Lu Xia Tian's cultivation level increased, and with the continuous feedback of Qi from the refining of the Dan furnace, his understanding of the esoteric Buddhist school's techniques deepened. Moreover, at Lu Xia Tian's current level, he felt increasingly that there were certain similarities between the esoteric Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism. Lu Xia Tian had been diligently cultivating the Mahayana Buddhist techniques for many years, and this also provided feedback to the cultivation of the esoteric Buddhist techniques, playing a certain role in promoting it.

Now that he encounters strong opponents of the same rank, even formidable figures like Rong Yuan demon monks or Ni Chang, Lu XiaTian dares to fight. Possessing the most complete and top-tier Buddhist martial arts, Lu XiaTian is no longer afraid of ordinary challenges from those at his level.

Even though this place is a chaotic den of demons and spirits, it's still just a corner within the secret realm of the ancient Buddha. It doesn't seem as vast as the previous Buddha vortex.

Lu Xia Tian didn't have time to fight the other party right now. He protected himself with his Wuxiang Zhangliu Golden Body, then struck with a Da Fan Tian Zhen Mo Yin! At the same time, countless black lotuses swelled and bloomed, forming a lotus boundary within which I am invincible! The mighty Da Fan Tian Zhen Mo Yin struck, causing the surrounding void to tremble. This strike wasn't intended to kill the enemy or inflict much damage on the mysterious monk, but rather to make this area tremble, allowing Lu Xia Tian to discern the truth behind its reality.

“The highest secret techniques of the Esoteric Buddhist sect, how could they all appear on one person!” A voice of inconceivable astonishment echoed from within tens of thousands of bamboo slips. It was no longer as serene and composed as before.

Lu Xia Tian remained silent, unleashing a palm strike. The air around him pulsed with the serenity of Zen, yet imbued with the solemnity and majesty of密宗佛門 (secret Buddhist sect). A wave of green light surged through the surroundings, transforming the bamboo grove into a sea of emerald. The mountains rose and fell, with towering bamboo stalks resembling ancient giants, pervasive throughout the landscape. It felt as if this wasn't an ordinary bamboo forest, but a primordial jungle from the dawn of time. "Quite a display of divine power," Lu Xia Tian thought to himself. He could clearly sense the presence of an opponent, yet they had skillfully concealed themselves within the bamboo grove. Despite Lu Xia Tian's belief in his own superior strength, he found himself unable to inflict any lasting harm due to the opponent's masterful camouflage.

This is no ordinary bamboo forest. There are both physical aspects and profound principles at play here. What's more troublesome is that the other party has been entrenched here for many years, transforming this area into an impenetrable fortress. The bamboo forest appears uniform across the mountains and plains, even a meticulous examination by a casual primordial spirit would be difficult to discern any differences in a short time.

In fact, these are just appearances. The seventy-two fundamental principles condensed within them have essential differences.

And the undulating mountains below not only hold the profound secrets of the earth element, but also conceal a powerful aura of gold. Beneath the surface, there are hidden dangers lurking. The opponent is formidable in strength; even if their power surpasses this enigmatic monk's, within their territory, they would find it difficult to unleash their full potential for a time, and could even be trapped and killed here. It will be impossible to discover the bamboo grove without a fierce battle.

Even the strange, almost insane dreams about what lies beneath the mountains.

Under Lu Xiaoteng's powerful primordial spirit and his understanding of the laws of the Dao, even these little secrets of the mysterious monk were not without a trace.

Here is the English translation of your provided text:

Lu Xia Tian's strength wasn't just his powerful primordial spirit, the vastness and depth of his cultivation principles and Taoist insights far surpassed even the mysterious monk's expectations.

He had already mastered the various laws and principles of cultivation practiced by the mysterious monks. Not only had Lu Xia Tian cultivated them to perfection, but he was also able to use them as a foundation to derive other laws and principles.

But within this Buddhist realm, Lu Xia Tian was not as ostracized as outsiders. Instead, due to the continuous improvement of his inherited Dan furnace, he seemed to thrive like a fish in water.

These factors accumulated, and Lu Xiaoteng didn't have to put in much effort to discover the key role that the opponent's seventy-two bamboo stalks played in this vast expanse of mountains.

Know thyself and know thy enemy, and thou shalt never be defeated in a hundred battles. Lu Xia Tian made no delay, directly launching an attack on the seventy-two crucial nodes within the bamboo forest.

The boundless black lotus sprouted between the bamboo stalks, growing wildly. Lu Xiaoteng's body shone brightly, like a huge purple-gold light sphere. The sphere burst forth with seventy-two beams of light, aiming straight for the opponent's key Buddhist bamboo.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Xiaoteng's palm techniques had already transformed seventy-two times. The Great Brahma Heaven Subduing Demon Seal was not only incredibly powerful but also ever-changing. As Lu Xiaoteng used it, it became increasingly smooth and effortless. Originally, he relied most heavily on the Nine Turns Dragon Seal technique, but after encountering the King of the Nine Turns Dragon Seal, Lu Xiaoteng gradually reduced his use of this divine ability. It wasn't that Lu Xiaoteng resisted this technique,

But he was worried that if he used such means, the highly skilled and unpredictable Nine Transformations Dragon Seal Dharma King would sense it.

Before rescuing Su Qing, Lu Xia Tian didn't want any unnecessary complications. If he allowed the Nine Transformations Dragon Seal Dharma King or the Extinguishing Heart Ancient Buddha to interfere and take Su Qing away, Lu Xia Tian would have a weakness that could be exploited by his opponents.

Boom boom boom! With seventy-two Lán Yún Buddha bamboos being attacked simultaneously, the surrounding bamboo forest was destroyed in swathes. "Lán Yún伏妖 Array!" A voice that sounded rather calm actually contained a barely concealed fury and alarm.
