Fishing in Troubled Waters: Demon Realm

Yanxia Star is a desolate planet belonging to the northern region of the Cultivation World. However, it has quite a reputation within the Cultivation World.

A fierce wind howled, like countless flying knives, slashing mercilessly across every inch of land, leaving only desolation in its wake. Such gales were common on the Yanxia Star. However, Yanxia Star's fame didn't stem from its winds, but rather from Yansha itself, an excellent material for crafting magical Law Artifact. Yet, the fierce winds of Yansha were the Yanxia Star's most formidable feature. So strong, in other parts of distant planets, even rocks would be reduced to dust in their wake. Without top-tier defensive Law Treasure, survival here was impossible.

Normally, there are many cultivators from various sects collecting rock sand here on Yanxia Star, but today there are not a single cultivator. The reason is that Purple Cloud Realm has ordered that Yanxia Star be sealed off for a year, during which no cultivator is allowed to come here.

While the rock formations on Yanxia Star are good, they are not absolutely necessary, and they can be found on other planets as well. Since Purple Cloud Realm has given the order, who would refuse?

In the midst of the raging winds on Yanxia Star, the winds suddenly stopped in one spot. To be precise, that spot seemed to be isolated from the rest of Yanxia Star. While the winds continued to rage elsewhere, this area, about a hundred meters in diameter, remained free of sandstorms.

Tian Nan arrived here first, accompanied by the other three Great Luo Golden Immortal from the Purple Cloud Realm.

"Master, the other six sects haven't arrived yet. Why did you invite Zhang Xingfeng this time? Zhang Xingfeng might not know about the Substitute Stone. One more person means one more person trying to seize the Substitute Stone!" Ziyang asked Tian Nan with a puzzled look.

Tian Nan shook his head. His disciple really didn't understand some things. It seemed that choosing Ziyang as the sect leader because Ziyang skill was higher than Zi Fan's was a mistake!

However, things still need to be clarified. Tian Nan countered, "Ziyang, let me ask you, what is the current strength of Zhang Xingfeng's Tianxin Sect?"

Ziyang honestly replied, "The Tianxin Sect has that miraculous sect-protecting formation. It has the top-tier divine artifact, the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, and Zhang Xingfeng's skill is so high that it can even be compared to my master's. His brother, Elder Long, is also extraordinary. When Junior Brother Zi Fan led so many immortals there, they had already experienced his power!"

Feng Wu immediately chimed in, "I've personally experienced Elder Long's power. His divine artifact is probably the Yin Yang Mountain recorded in the manual of over ten thousand divine artifacts in our sect. That Yin Yang Mountain can be large or small. It can unleash a force of ten thousand jun. If it were to strike, even Great Luo Golden Immortal would be seriously injured. My protective Immortal Armor was destroyed in one hit. It was only because of the protection of the Immortal Armor that I was able to participate in this important event. Otherwise, Feng Wu estimate that ninety percent of my power would have been lost! Even with the protection of the Immortal Armor, Feng Wu would still need a hundred years to recover. This time, I was able to participate in this important event only because my sect treated me with immortal pills."

Zi Fan, who was present, also said, "Hmm... I know very well how powerful Yin Yang Mountain is. There are two peaks, Yin Yang Mountain and Yang, and each one can attack a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Elder Long, who possesses the divine artifact, can be used as two of them. He is definitely a ruthless character. With him and Zhang Xingfeng, a master, the strength of the experts in the Tianxin Sect can be compared with the seven major sects!"

Tian Nan nodded and continued, "Since the Tianxin Sect are weak?"

Ziyang gave a bitter smile, "If the forces behind him were weak, our Purple Cloud Realm wouldn't have been destroyed by him after two of the four branches on the four level-one planets stopped attacking his Tianxin Sect!"

Tian Nan then said, "Since that's the case, why not invite Tianxin Sect to participate? Besides, even if we don't invite them, the other six major sects will. If Zhang Xingfeng of the Tianxin Sect is invited by all six major sects but not by my Purple Cloud Realm, wouldn't my Purple Cloud Realm be acting like a villain? The important thing is that we're not competing with other sects for the Substitute Stone, but with those extremely powerful Devil Beast. With more strength, we have a better chance of success!"

Ziyang and the other two also recalled the terror of the Demon Valley in the center of the Demon Realm. The strength of those Devil Beast was definitely not something a single Great Luo Golden Immortal could withstand!

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared behind them, and Fu Shan of the Fengyuan Gate arrived with two Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Inside the main hall of the Tianxin Sect, Zhang Xingfeng addressed the door, saying, "Elder Long and I are going there this time for an important cause to ensure the prosperity of our Tianxin Sect. During this period, everyone needs to cultivate diligently and avoid causing trouble outside. I am at ease with A Jiao leading the members of the Immortal Offering Group to guard the Tianxin Sect's mountain gate."

On the left side of the main hall, the immortals immediately bowed and clasped their hands in greeting. They were the worshippers of the Tianxin Sect. For Zhang Xingfeng, these immortals felt both fear and reverence. The image of Zhang Xingfeng, who had single-handedly resisted the tribulation of the Loose Immortal that day, was deeply etched in their hearts.

They couldn't imagine what kind of method it was to resist with ** and the tribulation of Loose Immortal. Although these immortals didn't know, they knew that even Nine Heavens Profound Immortal probably didn't have such a method. Once these immortals knew this, weren't they all respectful to Zhang Xingfeng? From then on, they also personally handled the affairs of the Tianxin Sect without the slightest flaw.

Zhang Xingfeng looked down at the door and said with satisfaction, "Alright, now that everyone knows, I'm relieved. Little Dragon, let's go!"

Zhang Xingfeng then took Little Dragon and left Tianxin Sect, flying into the starry sky.

"Second Brother, this time, all seven major sects sent you Jade Slip slips as messengers. Isn't that just going through the motions for nothing? A Jade Slip would have sufficed, and you'd know then." Little Dragon blinked his big eyes, his face saying, 'These sects are all idiots.' But Zhang Xingfeng was genuinely a little helpless about what he said. Since Little Dragon had traveled around the mortal planet a few times, he hadn't learned much else, but he had certainly picked up a lot of vulgar language.

Seeing Little Dragon's expression, Zhang Xingfeng wanted to laugh. Little Dragon wasn't very bright, but he was also quite honest. "Little Dragon, what do you know? These sects sent me Jade Slip to convey their messages. This represents their attitude towards my Tianxin Sect. If a sect doesn't send a message, it means that sect doesn't want my Tianxin Sect to participate in this matter of seizing the Substitute Stone."

Little Dragon's eyes widened immediately. "Roar... Who dares to object? Humph, if this elder finds out, this elder will eat him alive!"

Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly and said, "However, these sects aren't stupid. They probably know that one of the seven sects must have told me about this. For example, our allied sect, Bright Sun Sect, has seven shrewd individuals selected by the seven major sects of the Immortal Realm. Each of them is an expert in handling important matters, so of course they wouldn't stoop to such lowly tactics. Therefore, your second brother received seven Jade Slip messages. However, by looking at the contents of the messages, we can discern some things. Elder Wu Tong of the Tianlong Sect is indeed extremely friendly to my Tianxin Sect. He explained everything about the Demon Realm very clearly!"

Little Dragon immediately roared in a strange tone, "Oh my! This Wutong is quite nice. I liked him last time. He gave my second brother a piece of purple silk, something nice, really nice!"

Zhang Xingfeng smiled and said to Little Dragon, "It's not Zi something Luo, but Zi Yi Xing Luo. Judging from the actions of the Tianlong Sect, it seems that the Tianlong Sect is really friendly to my Tianxin Sect, otherwise they wouldn't have told me about the things I need to pay attention to in the Demon Realm."

Little Dragon asked curiously, "Second Brother, what's that Demon Realm like? Tell Little Dragon about it!"

Zhang Xingfeng explained, "The Northern Extreme Perilous Domain is an extremely dangerous place in the Cultivation World. Even Immortal Emperor dare not enter it casually. There is a planet in the Northern Extreme Perilous Domain that is called the Demon Realm, mainly because there are Devil Beast in the Demon Realm Demon Realm. The terror of the Demon Realm is far beyond your imagination. The Bright Sun Sect is truly despicable. They did not tell me many things. I suppose the Bright Sun Sect is just using my Tianxin Sect."

"Second Brother, tell me, just how terrifying is that Demon Realm? I'm so worried!" Little Dragon asked anxiously.

As Zhang Xingfeng and Little Dragon spoke, they arrived in the starry sky. Zhang Xingfeng took out the Star Brilliance, and Little Dragon followed Zhang Xingfeng into Star Brilliance. They marked their gathering place on the Star Brilliance — Yanxia Star. After activating the Star Brilliance, Zhang Xingfeng replied, "The greatest danger in the Demon Realm is its extremely strong gravity. Only those with the strength of Great Luo Golden Immortal can resist it! However, I think you and I have gained quite a bit of an advantage in this regard."

"Oh?" Little Dragon looked at Zhang Xingfeng with his mouth wide open, as if he were asking for a lesson.

Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly and said, "The gravity in the Demon Realm is strong, and even immortals cannot resist it, so they need to use immortal energy. However, I believe my body can easily resist the gravity in the Demon Realm, and there is no need to use the Limitless Power! As for you, Little Dragon, as a divine beast, your body is naturally extremely strong, and I estimate that you can also resist it there."

Little Dragon took a while to understand, and once he figured it out, he became excited. "Waaaaah, waaaaah, that's great! Doesn't this mean that we, with our incredible strength, can unleash our power over there, while they have to use their immortal energy to resist? Hahahaha... At that time, I, this elder, will crush them! By the way, second brother, tell me, what other terrifying aspects does this Demon Realm hold?"

Zhang Xingfeng continued, "The second terrifying aspect of this Demon Realm is that the energy within it is entirely composed of demonic Demonic Sha Energy from the Demon Realm. I don't know why there's Demonic Sha Energy in the Cultivation World, but since it's located in the Northern Extreme Perilous Domain, it's not a big deal. There are just too many strange things there!"

"Second Brother, so what if there's Demonic Sha Energy in the Demon Realm? My Dragon Origin Power and your Limitless Power are both higher level than Immortal Essence and Demonic Yuan Power, so we can completely absorb the Demonic Sha Energy!" Little Dragon had an expression that said, 'I don't understand why this is terrifying?'

Zhang Xingfeng was indeed defeated by Little Dragon's lack of intelligence, and could only explain carefully, "This place is entirely filled with Demonic Sha Energy. Although it affects our two Demon Realm, it does affect Great Luo Golden Immortal and Nine Heavens Profound Immortal. It's Demonic Sha Energy, and they can't absorb it. They resist gravity and consume immortal energy, but they can't replenish it from the outside. They can only rely on immortal crystals! But absorbing the power of immortal crystals while using immortal energy is an extremely troublesome matter. You know, immortals normally absorb energy from heaven and earth to replenish what they consume. But to make them hold immortal crystals in one hand and then attack is really troublesome. You know, immortal crystals can only be replenished when held in hand!"

Little Dragon nodded, but muttered to himself, "Sigh, really, this elder doesn't need to use his hands, he can just eat it directly!"

Zhang Xingfeng overheard Little Dragon's mutterings and thought to himself, "I wonder what the internal structure of this divine beast is like. How can it eat immortal crystals and absorb energy? Even someone as powerful as me wouldn't dare to consume such powerful energy. It seems that the divine beast's stomach has a special function!"

"Is there a third terrifying aspect?" Little Dragon then asked.

Zhang Xingfeng nodded and said, "Yes, that's terrifying, and it's the second terrifying aspect. The Demon Realm is home to countless Devil Beasts. Since Devil Beast can survive there, you know how terrifying the gravity is. Each of these Devil Beast must possess at least the strength of Great Luo Golden Immortal. And that's not all. In the center of the Demon Realm, which is our destination— Beast Valley! The Devil Beast are terrifying. Even the weakest ones can contend with Nine Heavens Profound Immortal. The stronger ones? I don't know, but I do know that even Nine Heavens Profound Immortal dare not approach!"

Long unconsciously opened his mouth. "So strong?"

Zhang Xingfeng nodded. "That's how strong they are. Even Nine Heavens Profound Immortal don't dare to approach. These Nine Heavens Profound Immortal can only try every means, using various schemes and secret techniques, and employing their Devil Beast artifacts to kill some weaker Devil Beast and seize their Substitute Stone. Oh, I forgot to tell you, for some reason, these Devil Beasts all like to collect Substitute Stone. All the Substitute Stone in the entire Beast Valley have been collected by the Devil Beast. So if you want Substitute Stone, you have to kill the Devil Beast and seize their Substitute Stone!"

"Of course, the stronger the Devil Beast, the larger the Substitute Stone. Moreover, these Devil Beast also have other treasures beside Substitute Stone, Little Dragon, do you want some treasures?" Zhang Xingfeng teased.

"Yes, of course I want the treasure, but Little Dragon, I want my life!" This time, Little Dragon was shrewd; it seems Little Dragon's not completely stupid after all!

Suddenly, the Star Brilliance flashed and entered Zhang Xingfeng's sky.

Zhang Xingfeng and his group had arrived above Yanxia Star. Zhang Xingfeng and Little Dragon used a Great Teleportation to directly reach the gathering place.

Upon seeing Zhang Xingfeng and Little Dragon appear, Tian Nan announced with a smile, "Fellow Daoists, True Person Xingfeng and the others have arrived. You may proceed to the Demon Realm!" After saying this, Tian Nan activated the Teleportation Array, which led directly to the Demon Realm.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Tian Nan's hand flashed with light, and the Teleportation Array also flashed with light, and dozens of people disappeared!
