Journey to the Demon Realm

Zhang Xingfeng has been back in this City of Heavenly Chasm for a month now, and his master, Tianchenzi, has finally officially become dao companion with Fairy Yuxian.

At this moment, in the courtyard behind the Tianxin Sect's residence, Zhang Xingfeng was frowning as he looked at the flowerbed in front of him. Clearly, Zhang Xingfeng's mind was not on the flowerbed.

"I've given him my master's artifact, and he's with his master's wife now. I've also put an end to my thoughts. But now it's urgent to go to the Demon Realm. If the disciples of my Tianxin Sect want to develop, they must have more immortal crystals. But Yu Yan's aura is a big problem. Should I not let Yu Yan go to the Demon Realm with me?" Zhang Xingfeng was very troubled.

He didn't want to be separated from Yu Yan, but he couldn't bear to leave Yu Yan alone in the Dragon Spirit Space. What should he do?

"Brother Feng?" Yu Yan walked over from the back courtyard, slowly crossing the small bridge in the center of the courtyard. She reached the flowerbed and stood beside Zhang Xingfeng, remaining silent for a long while. She knew very well what Zhang Xingfeng was troubled about; she was troubled too. Zhang Xingfeng was going to the Demon Realm, a decision he had made back when he went from the Tianxin Sect to the City of Heavenly Chasm. However, Yu Yan was a cultivator, her aura completely different from that of demon cultivators and Demon Cultivation experts.

Suddenly, Yan's expression hardened. She turned to look at Zhang Xingfeng and said, "Brother Feng!"

Zhang Xingfeng looked at Yu Yan, forcing a smile, but it looked rather forced. Yu Yan smiled brightly and said, "Brother Feng, I've thought it through. I want to go with you, even in the Dragon Spirit Space. Besides, I won't be completely alone there. I'll have Dragon Spirit, Tianyu, and Void Breaker to chat with. And when you're not in public, I can appear before you. It seems pretty good, much better than me being all alone in this City of Heavenly Chasm!"

Hearing Yan Hong's words, Zhang Xingfeng felt a surge of emotion. He longed to spend quality time with her, exploring the Tianxin Sect together. However, he carried the hopes and responsibilities of the Tianxin Sect on his shoulders, and he couldn't completely disregard the sect's interests.

"Sigh... Zhang boy, I really can't stand it anymore. You're so indecisive. Just be straightforward and take that girl Feng to the Demon Realm. Besides, don't you have Divine Sense? What kind of power in the Demon Realm wouldn't you be able to detect? And as long as you use the power of Limitless Power to disguise Feng's power, I doubt any expert without the strength of Immortal Monarch would be able to see through it. Hmm... Void Breaker, that little girl, wants me to tell her a story again..." Tianyu's voice disappeared.

Zhang Xingfeng's expression shifted, and then his face lit up with wild joy. He suddenly picked up *** Yan and burst into laughter. "Haha... hahahaha... this is wonderful! Tianyu is so clever! How come I didn't think of something so simple?"

Holding Zhang Xingfeng in her arms, Yan felt a surge of joy mixed with a touch of confusion. She wondered, "Brother Feng, what's wrong with him? Could it be... could it be that he's come up with a plan?" This thought filled Yan with excitement. How she longed to travel the Demon Realm with Zhang Xingfeng! How she longed to be with him!

"Brother Feng, have you thought of a way?" *** Yan asked tremblingly.

Zhang Xingfeng smiled broadly and nodded firmly, saying, "Yes, Tianyu just reminded me, and I've finally figured it out. My Divine Sense can detect any expert in the Demon Realm; even the Demon Realm can't escape my Divine Sense's search. As long as my Divine Sense is careful, if I detect any experts at the level of Demon Emperor or Demon Lord nearby, I'll let you enter the Dragon Spirit Space. If there aren't such experts, as long as I use the Limitless Power to help you disguise yourself, I believe it's impossible for you to be exposed. That way, wouldn't you be able to spend much more time with me? Besides, there are only so many Demon Emperors and Demon Lords in the Demon Realm. I believe I won't encounter many experts like that on this trip to the Demon Realm, and you won't need to stay in the Dragon Spirit Space for very long!"

***Yan immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Ah... Brother Feng, doesn't this mean I can spend a lot of time with you?"

Zhang Xingfeng smiled and nodded. Upon seeing this, ***Yan immediately jumped up excitedly and cheered...

Three days later, in the backyard of the Tianxin Sect's base in the City of Heavenly Chasm, all the Tianxin Sect's forces gathered.

"Little Dragon, you don't need to come to the Demon Realm with me this time. I have something important to entrust to you!" Zhang Xingfeng said to Little Dragon, holding the bright red hand.

Little Dragon pouted and shook his big head vigorously, saying, "No, no, Second Brother, this is absolutely unacceptable! Last time you went to that Ancient God Forbidden Zone, Little Dragon left me here. Now you're going to the Demon Realm, and you're taking Second Sister-in-law with you, but not me. Does that mean my Little Dragon is even less than Second Sister-in-law's? I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced!" After saying that, Little Dragon seemed very angry, and he was panting heavily.

Little Dragon used to refer to himself as "this elder," but just now he referred to himself as "Xiao Little Dragon." It's clear that he wanted to portray himself as a victim bullied by Zhang Xingfeng, trying to break free from his pitiful and innocent image. However, looking at Little Dragon's super strong appearance, it's really hard to associate him with being pitiful and innocent.

Zhang Xingfeng glanced at Little Dragon and said calmly, "Hmm... I see. This makes things difficult. I wanted someone to bring back the Ancient Stone Primordial Milk. If you don't, then the Ancient Stone Primordial Milk you were planning to use the Dragon Clan's secret technique for will be gone. Hmm... it seems your secret technique can allow you to reach the late stage of Body Refinement from the early stage of Nascent Soul in a short period of time. The late stage of Body Refinement is for late-stage Immortal Monarch, who are experts. If you cultivate step by step, it would probably take millions of years. Oh, right, being a divine beast will probably be faster, but it will still take hundreds of thousands of years. Alright, since you've decided, then you'll come with me to the Demon Realm. The Ancient Stone Primordial Milk is for a disciple of my Tianxin Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Little Dragon was stunned. How could he possibly give up the Ancient Stone Primordial Milk? The Ancient Stone Primordial Milk could save him millions of years of arduous cultivation! How could Zhang Xingfeng know that the most difficult hurdle for divine beasts was the Body Refinement Stage? Generally, divine beasts needed tens of millions of years to reach the Body Refinement Stage, and even with Little Dragon Long's exceptional talent, it would still take him over a million years. This was because divine beasts possessed extremely powerful bodies, far stronger than humans. However, such powerful bodies weren't entirely a good thing. The Body Refinement Stage involved fusing the Nascent Soul with the physical body, and because the body was so incredibly strong, this fusion was extremely difficult. But with the Primordial Milk, and through secret methods, Little Dragon believed he could definitely achieve Great Accomplishment of the Body Refinement Stage within six months!

Little Dragon only wanted to have some fun in the Demon Realm, but Little Dragon wouldn't allow it to come at the cost of cultivating for millions of years.

Little Dragon immediately looked at Zhang Xingfeng with a grin and said with a playful smile, "Well... Second Brother, I won't go then. Actually, I'm not the kind of person who's unreasonable. This time, Second Brother wants to be alone with Second Sister-in-law. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know how to have fun, so why would I bother you? Second Brother, don't worry, just leave the matter of the Ancient Stone Primordial Milk to me!" Little Dragon looked very proud and confident.

Zhang Xingfeng looked at the Little Dragon and a slight smile appeared on his face. He said, "Alright, take this Ancient Stone Primordial Milk back for me. The transformative effect of the Ancient Stone Primordial Milk is even better than the Dragon Spirit's blood, and the blood is better for cultivation. This way, the disciples of my Tianxin Sect will have a solid foundation. This will be of great benefit to them becoming immortals in the future, and I cannot ruin it. Go back and announce to me that once any Tianxin Sect disciple becomes a core disciple, the sect will bestow upon them a drop of Ancient Stone Primordial Milk to transform their body. Even if their aptitude is not top-tier, after the transformation, they will become Higher Vehicle, and I believe their cultivation will not be wasted much time!" At this point, Zhang Xingfeng couldn't help but sigh. Back then, he was too old when he cultivated, and his physique was weak, so cultivation wasted too much time. If he had obtained a drop of Ancient Stone Primordial Milk back then, he could have directly transformed his body, and his cultivation would have been much faster.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Heng nodded and said, "True Person's method is good. The transformation will only improve the disciple's aptitude and may even make the disciple's foundation more solid. It will not affect the disciple's cultivation."

Zhang Xingfeng chuckled to himself, "I've already thought about the effects of the treasures around me. How can I let these treasures go to waste here?" Zhang Xingfeng had thought about it for a long time before he came up with a method that would not affect the foundation of the Tianxin Sect disciples but would increase their cultivation speed.

"The effects of the spirit blood are selfless, hehe, and the Dragon Spirit's selfless dedication is truly remarkable! My Tianxin Sect must make the most of it!" Zhang Xingfeng said with a smile, without a trace of shame, while the Dragon Spirit screamed in his mind, "You little bloodsucking devil, you threatened me to get the spirit blood, what selfless dedication? How despicable..."

However, Zhang Xingfeng clearly didn't care about Long Ling's dissatisfaction at all. He still had a smile on his face and said, "So I came up with a method. The Illusionary Heart Hall at the core of the Tianxin Sect is a place that only the core disciples of the Tianxin Sect can reach. After you go back, Little Dragon, go back and tell Bi Yan to use spiritual blood as a base to replace the base of the Illusionary Heart Array!"

Little Dragon hadn't quite grasped it yet, but Zhong Heng immediately understood and clapped his hands in delight. "Brilliant! True Person, this move is both simple and practical. The foundation of the Illusionary Heart Array uses spiritual blood, so from now on, the entire Illusionary Heart Array will possess a rich spiritual Spiritual Qi from the spiritual blood, making it like a world where the spiritual Spiritual Qi is dozens of times denser than the outside world. This is theoretically similar to how the Purple Cloud Realm uses divine artifacts to gather Spiritual Qi. Just like the Purple Cloud Realm, this way, the disciples' foundation won't be weak. However, it's clear that the effect of this Illusionary Heart Array is much better than that of the Purple Cloud Realm. After all, our sect directly emits Spiritual Qi using precious spiritual blood, while the Purple Cloud Realm absorbs it from heaven and earth. Moreover, the Spiritual Qi emitted by the spiritual blood is much denser." Zhong Heng could already imagine the future where his Tianxin Sect would be even more powerful than the Purple Cloud Realm.

Zhang Xingfeng nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, the area covered by the Purple Cloud Realm artifact is relatively large, so the overall concentration of Spiritual Qi only increases by three times. Then, in some special places, the effect is tripled again using Spirit Gathering Formation. But no matter what, the concentration of Spiritual Qi won't be that high. Spiritual blood is the blood of countless rare Devil Beast, spirit beasts, Immortal Beast, and even divine beasts. It was created by the Blood Kill Gate, one of the three sects of the Blood Kill Gate Realm, over a thousand years, using countless efforts and resources. The density of Spiritual Qi energy there will definitely exceed your imagination. Haha, all that hard work by the Blood Kill Gate for so long has been for nothing but a wedding dress for my Tian Xin Seed!" Zhang Xingfeng laughed smugly.

"Does Little Dragon understand?" Zhang Xingfeng asked Little Dragon.

Little Dragon scratched his big head and asked in confusion, "I don't understand!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng felt a headache coming on. He dared not easily entrust the heavy responsibility of sending back the spiritual blood and the ancient stone Primordial Milk to others. Moreover, Little Dragon possessed the Dark Gold Divine Armor, and in the Cultivation World, there was absolutely no god who could threaten him.

Little Dragon then smiled slyly, "But I know one thing: the Spirit Blood and the Ancient Stone Primordial Milk must be protected and not discovered by others. Also, the Spirit Blood is to serve as the foundation for the Illusionary Heart Array, and the Ancient Stone Primordial Milk is to transform the newly selected core disciples. Hmm... that's all I know. As for everything else Second Brother just mentioned, I have no idea!"

Zhang Xingfeng glared at Little Dragon without curiosity and said, "Alright, you know this much, but you don't need to worry about your Azure Bracelet being taken away. Hmm, use the Azure Bracelet to collect this Primordial Milk and spiritual blood. Wait a minute, I'll set up a restriction around here first!"

With so much spiritual blood, once the Primordial Milk is released, the Spiritual Qi will likely be so great that the entire City of Heavenly Chasm will be able to detect it. That would be disastrous. Zhang Xingfeng activated his Limitless Power, and the light of heaven and earth around the courtyard flickered, completely isolating it from the outside world.

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Xingfeng sent out the ancient stone's Primordial Milk and spiritual blood.

Little Dragon immediately collected the ancient stone's Primordial Milk and hungry spirit blood into the Azure Bracelet.

"Master, Yu Yan and I will leave here first. Little Dragon will bring many disciples back with him. Whether you go back with Little Dragon or stay here is entirely up to you."

Zhang Xingfeng turned to Tianchenzi and said.

Tianchenzi and Fairy Yuxian exchanged a smile. Tianchenzi turned to Zhang Xingfeng and said, "Xingfeng (after Zhang Xingfeng's persuasion, Tianchenzi finally changed Sui Yu to Xingfeng), don't worry. Your master's wife and I will stay here for a while longer. After some time, if we want to go back, we will naturally go back. Besides, didn't you give me a Star Brilliance?" Suddenly, Tianchenzi's expression turned serious. "Xingfeng, the Demon Realm is a mysterious place for immortals. When you go there, you must be careful in everything you do. Don't make any mortal enemies. You don't have any help there. If you are besieged by experts from the Demon Realm, that would be terrible!"

Zhang Xingfeng nodded and said, "I know, Master, don't worry. Master, Yu Yan and I are leaving now. Please take good care of yourself. Master, you must also protect your wife! Oh, I forgot, Master, your skill is not as high as your wife's!" Zhang Xingfeng smiled jokingly, then grabbed Yu Yan's hand and flew away.

"Everyone, take care!" At this moment, Zhang Xingfeng and *** Yan were only visible as distant shadows.

"This disciple!" Tianchenzi's expression was extremely complex, whether it was anger, laughter, or gratitude.
