Reflections on the Heavenly Demon War / Dao and Demon Stir Up Chaos ...

For example, when it comes to food, any food tastes like chewing wax in her mouth.

As for the tedium that ordinary people find unbearable, it was absent in her. She could sit still for more than half a year without moving at all, just like a stone.

She was originally an incomplete human from that small world, and now, possessed by both the World Consciousness and the power of the Heavenly Demon, she was no longer human. However, although that small world was illusory, it was still a world, capable of nurturing True Spirit. This True Spirit reminded her that she was not a creation, but an individual.

In Zhang Qiudao's theory, there was no concept of "pure human race." Such a notion was merely a way to distinguish between the people of the Xuanhui Realm and those of the Lesser Worlds. In his view, all living beings in the world were simply of two kinds: those with True Spirit without. True Spirit was like an unforgeable and unrepeatable proof for a living being, representing that individual. Such proof was universal in any world and would not be repeated due to differences in worlds.

Rather than saying the world bestows True Spirit, it's more accurate to say that they are defined by the existence above the world; the world has the authority to grant them, while other beings do not. For Enlightenment Cultivator like Zhang Qiudao, creating life on his own would not be difficult, but he cannot create life out of thin air; he still needs the world's assistance. Because of this reliance on the world, the life he creates, though possessing True Spirit, is bestowed by the world, not created by his own ability.

From this perspective, the Heavenly Demons beyond this world become quite peculiar. They confirm to Zhang Qiudao that there exists an even grander existence above this world, and it is this very existence that gave rise to the Heavenly Demons and the world.

Chapter 310 Reflections on the War Between Heavenly Demons

Meng Tianyu's injuries have healed.

This was a minor matter in the war between the Heavenly Demons, but it was a major event for the Heavenly Dragon Sect, after all, Meng Tianyu was the sect leader.

Those elders who hadn't even bothered to act and were already vying for power within the Heavenly Dragon Sect found themselves in an awkward situation, and the atmosphere became strange.

As for Meng Tianyu's personal disciples, they didn't think too much about it. They were just happy that their master had recovered from his injuries, since Meng Tianyu was their biggest backer in the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

With the news of the Heavenly Dragon Sect Master's recovery from his injuries, the Heavenly Dragon Sect's previously somewhat dejected atmosphere began to recover slightly. Those disciples and stewards with impure motives had no choice but to suppress their ulterior motives and continue to serve the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

However, Meng Tianyu didn't care about any of these things anymore; she only cared about two things right now:

One issue is the identity of this Black Robed Person, and the other is how to protect the Heavenly Dragon Sect under the current circumstances.

She was indeed alright now, but it was precisely because she was alright that her condition worsened. That Black Robed Person had approached her for no apparent reason, and if anything related to Black Robed Person came to light, the Heavenly Dragon Sect would surely suffer an even more devastating fate. After all, if the Black Robed Person were alright, why would he conceal his face and poison the pills she took to coerce her into revealing his existence?

Taking advantage of the time when she could still move freely, Meng Tianyu summoned her personal disciples and explained the current situation to them, hoping that they would understand the principle of "as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn".

"The Heavenly Demon War is bound to be a stalemate that lasts for years. The longer it drags on, the more intense the situation will become, to the point that even powerful figures will perish and sects will decline. Right now, the Heavenly Dragon Sect still has people to support, but in the future, those who can be used will become increasingly scarce, leading to fierce competition. This is the scourge of war. Right now, you must all cultivate more and break through as soon as possible to have a better chance of survival."

As she spoke, she suddenly sighed.

"If that's not the case, then I will surely be the end for all of you. Even a Golden Core cultivator, if not careful, will fall at the gates of hell, either dying or crippled, or crippled and living a miserable life. I myself suffered from the poisonous hand of that Spirit Manifestation Heavenly Devil. If I hadn't sought death to survive, I'm afraid my cultivation would have been completely destroyed, leaving only bones."

Not encountering the Black Robed Person would actually make this ending quite normal.

Her gaze fell upon her disciple, and she began to explain her insights from the battlefield. Before, she was too busy waiting to die to have had time to discuss these things.

"While Golden Core cultivators are somewhat better off, there are countless Golden Core cultivators in the Xuanhui Realm, like an army of mortals. We Golden Core cultivators used to be called True Immortals, but now we are just ordinary soldiers on this Heavenly Devil Battlefield, barely leading hundreds or thousands of cultivators below the Golden Core level to fight the enemy. The power of those who can burn mountains and boil seas is greatly reduced on the Heavenly Devil Battlefield, let alone those below the Golden Core level. As a result, many cultivators have panicked and died tragically on the battlefield. Therefore, when you arrive on the battlefield, do not fight the enemy with all your might, but be careful to protect your own lives."

"Although we are all cultivators, our colleagues are all cultivators, and we should not feel ashamed. The dangers of this battlefield are extraordinary, and the situation cannot be changed by two or three cultivators. Defeat is defeat, and victory is victory. If Golden Core cultivators are only capable of killing hundreds or thousands of people, what chance do Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators have? In the current situation, we must not be overconfident and think that Core Formation Establishment cultivators, though weak, have a chance to fight. Such thinking is utterly wrong."

Using her as an example again, Meng Tianyu suddenly looked at her abdomen.

"You all know that I was created by the Spirit Manifestation Heavenly Devil, but do you know how many people this Spirit Manifestation Heavenly Devil can kill with a single blow?"

Before her disciple could answer, she answered herself.

"Hundreds of cultivators perished, including many Golden Core cultivators. Although the Spirit Manifestation Heavenly Devil was weakened by the formation and, like me, could not exert its full power, the power of the Spirit-Possessing Demon and the Golden Core cultivator is immense. It's like an egg hitting a rock; the former will perish while the latter survives. The deaths and injuries are unfortunate, a consequence of the treacherous nature of the battlefield. Therefore, kill many enemies while being cautious, and do your best to avoid areas where people are clustered together. Seek only survival, not merit. Survival still allows for merit; what is the point of dying for fame and fortune?"

"Also,"

She paused, thinking of the Black Robed Person she had encountered. Although she couldn't speak directly about the Black Robed Person, it wouldn't hurt to offer a reminder.

"Even in the realm of cultivators, one must be cautious and not blindly trust others. If they are comrades on the battlefield, one must be wary to prevent them from becoming innocent scapegoats. As for ordinary cultivators, one must be even more vigilant. As long as the war continues, vigilance must never cease. The war between the Heavenly Demons will inevitably become more and more brutal in the future, to the point that shortages will arise, and even those cultivators with low strength will need to be mobilized to join the war. In such a situation, cultivators will truly be no different from ordinary mortals."

"Put aside their aloofness, they'd be like the poor fighting over food, elixirs, or weapons. Even a slight lapse in preparedness would trigger infighting, with cultivators vying for power and engaging in endless schemes and plots. This is precisely why cultivators are unlike those in secular dynasties. The armies of secular dynasties are supported by the entire nation, and their military operations are coordinated and worry-free. But cultivators are a diverse mix, from numerous sects, and there's no connection between them, hence the difference between them and the armies of secular dynasties."

"However, I imagine that when that situation arises..."

Meng Tianyu sighed. If things really came to that, probably not even one-tenth of the small sects would still exist.

"The world is no longer filled with numerous sects; instead, a few powerful factions clash and fight for survival. If that happens, I will not expect you to revive the Heavenly Dragon Sect. You should each find a force to rely on to save your lives. Just remember that the Heavenly Dragon Sect was your former home, and that will be enough for me."

"Master..."

The disciples, unsure how to respond, could only nod and agree haphazardly. Hearing these words, they dared not harbor any grand ambitions to refute Meng Tianyu's words, nor did they dare to express their fervent desire to protect the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

These days, the direct disciples have witnessed the predicament of the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the power struggles among the elders. Although they are cultivators, they are not ignorant of such principles. If they still do not understand these principles now, they will die on the battlefield sooner or later.

"I'll focus on cultivation and strengthening myself during this time."

Meng Tianyu closed her eyes, said one more sentence, and then instructed her disciple to leave.

"I narrowly escaped death, a perilous but fortunate experience. My cultivation has suddenly begun to show promise, a considerable gain. As for you all, do not waste the time I have bought you. Prepare thoroughly and you should be on the battlefield. The Demon Prison Hall and the Supreme Elder of the Profound Sky Sect Supreme Elder used their great supernatural powers to defeat the Heavenly Demons and win this war against them. The next war against the Heavenly Demons should be much less dangerous."

Chapter 311 The Dao Demon Lead to Chaos, Yi Yi #SizzleNoLongLongShrimp

Following the Second Heavenly Demon War, the cultivators in the eastern Xuanhui Realm enjoyed a long period of rest.

Unlike the disastrous first war, the second Heavenly Demon War, though initially quite chaotic and even resulting in infighting between righteous and Xuanhui Realm forces, which put them at a disadvantage, eventually gained control of the war through the alliance of several major sects.

In this battle, the Supreme Elder of the Profound Sky Sect Supreme Elder, the original leader of the righteous path, made a ruthless move, crippling several powerful Heavenly Demons and expelling them from the Xuanhui Realm. Furthermore, the Profound Sky Sect publicly revealed a grand formation capable of connecting tens of thousands of people. This formation was originally the Profound Sky Sect's trump card, but it had to be revealed because of the Heavenly Demons.

Because of this grand formation, the cultivators who rushed to the battlefield finally managed to withstand the endless tide of demonic forces. After all, this grand formation was originally designed for such massive battles. It was a formation painstakingly created by the former sect leader of the Profound Sky Sect, who was worried about the Demonic Path forces colluding to attack the Profound Sky Sect. Who would have thought that such a painstaking effort would encounter Great Demon like Zhang Qiudao, who was difficult to defeat throughout the ages? Now, it was actually quite suitable for use on the Heavenly Devil Battlefield.

The righteous path is thus, and the Demonic Path has an even more powerful figure, the former sect leader of an unknown Demonic Path sect called the Demon Prison Hall, hence the sect leader is also called the Demon Prison Hall Master. This is because no one knows what his face looks like, let alone his gender; all that is known is that he has long hair, a Wrathful Ghost Mask, and a black robe with red trim to conceal himself.

If the Supreme Elder of the Profound Sky Sect was a Dao Enlightened Enlightenment Cultivator who had advanced from the Nascent Soul stage thanks to the favor of Heaven, then the Demon Prison Hall Master was just an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator who did not receive the favor of Heaven, but his strength far surpassed that of the Supreme Elder.

The Heavenly Demons were so powerful that even the Supreme Elder could only cripple and banish them to the outside of the Xuanhui Realm. However, the Demon Prison Hall Master annihilated countless Heavenly Demons with a wave of his hand and absorbed them all into his own body. His demonic power was truly awe-inspiring.

This bizarre and extraordinary practice seemed to have no effect on his physical body and soul; on the contrary, it made the Demon Prison Hall Master even stronger. After "devouring" numerous Heavenly Demons, he instilled deep fear in dozens of powerful Nascent Soul Heavenly Demons, who then attacked him en masse. The Demon Prison Hall Master accepted all comers without hesitation, casually injuring and absorbing these Nascent Soul Heavenly Demons into his body with a wave of his hand. His ruthlessness was so great that even those Heavenly Demons who knew no fear retreated and distanced themselves from him. Countless Heavenly Demons were unable to unleash their full power because of this ruthless man, greatly reducing the pressure on the cultivators and allowing them to annihilate these Heavenly Demons in one fell swoop.

From that day forward, the Supreme Elder of the Profound Sky Sect, knowing he was inferior to the Demon Prison Hall Master Palace, felt no jealousy. He merely marveled that the Demonic Path had produced another extraordinary figure, capable of rivaling the former demon surnamed Zhang. He knew that even with the Demon Prison Hall Master present after the Heavenly Demon War, the righteous path would not have fared well. However, the Heavenly Demons were now endless, so such concerns could be put aside for a long time. Otherwise, another internal strife would destroy this world.

After some thought, he also sensed the strangeness of the technique learned by the Demon Prison Hall Master. This peculiar technique, capable of "devouring" heavenly demons, was truly a demonic art, inspiring both fear and desire. However, upon learning from the Demon Prison Hall Master that only he himself had cultivated such a demonic art, he breathed a sigh of relief, followed by regret.

The reason for the relief was that such demonic arts had not been widely disseminated, preventing the world from becoming aware of them and causing a surge in the number of people falling into Demonic Path, leading to widespread chaos. The regret was that such techniques for restraining demons could not be practiced by many cultivators to fight against them, thus improving the current depraved situation, or even further, completely expelling these demons from the Xuanhui Realm within a few years.

He was originally Enlightenment Cultivator favored by the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhui Realm, and he knew that the Enlightenment Realm- enlightenment cultivation was unstable because the Heavenly Dao itself was in a difficult situation. After that heinous demon forcibly tore open a gap, the Heavenly Dao had been both reviving cultivators to fight against the Heavenly Demon and forcibly healing this Heavenly Wound, and had long since reached a state of exhaustion and decline. After allowing twelve Nascent Soul cultivators to advance to the Enlightenment Realm, he could no longer be detected, and only a faint aura remained.

It's no wonder they've ended up in this situation. Zhang Qiudao was a rare demon in the Xuanhui Realm. Even though he was defeated by the Heavenly Dao, his cultivation still dealt a significant blow to the Heavenly Dao. Furthermore, there was no time for him to recover from his resurrection and repair the Heavenly Scar. The Xuanhui Realm was also desolate because of Zhang Qiudao's actions. Only the eastern lands recovered some vitality due to the Heavenly Dao's favor. The other places were lifeless and spiritual energy was scarce.

Faced with such a dire situation, Heaven and these Enlightenment Cultivators had been forcibly promoted felt a deep sense of desolation. However, with life and death at stake, they had no choice but to fight desperately.

Therefore, the forces of good and evil finally reached a consensus in the face of such a catastrophe and fought together.

The Demon Prison Hall Master is a crucial link in the current cooperation, even more important than the six Enlightenment Realm cultivators at the Enlightenment Realm. Therefore, the Supreme Elder of the Profound Sky Sect personally received him to show his high regard.

Other major sects of the righteous Demonic Path paths also had Enlightenment Cultivator from Dao Demon responsible for mediating, trying their best to prevent serious disagreements between the cultivators of both sides from escalating into civil war. The two major sects that perished at the beginning of the Second Heavenly Demon War served as a warning to them, making them realize the necessity and urgency of cooperation.

Regarding the events that occurred between the two sects, the major sects have already figured out the ins and outs of the matter. Faced with something as significant as the Heavenly Demon War, the higher-ups of both sects are certainly not fools; they know what is more important and will naturally restrain their disciples, even to the point of compromising their principles.

The real reason why the situation had to come to a standstill was because several high-ranking members of the two sects were murdered. From the clues, it was discovered that Yue-? had been plotting against each other. Therefore, they were forced to fight because of the greater good of their sects. As a result, the Heavenly Demon suddenly launched an attack, which severely damaged both sects.

As several powerful figures jointly deduced, it turned out that all of this was inextricably linked to the Heavenly Demon.

These extraterrestrial demons may be as weak as wild beasts, knowing only how to kill and howl, but the powerful celestial demons are treacherous and cunning, almost like humans. Among these celestial demons are many who can mimic the faces of others, and even more who can sow discord among others and cause turmoil in their hearts.

These celestial demons are usually called inner demons, or Dao Demon.

The concept of "Dao Demon" refers to demons that obstruct the path, a type of celestial demon that cultivators are most unwilling to encounter.

Behind these two sects lies a demonic force wreaking havoc, using its power to plunge both sides into chaos.

Chapter 312 Using one tiger to devour another

The matter escalated rapidly, especially after these major sects intentionally made it known to the wider cultivator population.

The relationship between the righteous and demonic cultivators, which had been somewhat antagonistic due to the tragedy between the two sects during the Second Heavenly Demon War, was largely mended after they learned that it was the inner demons who were causing the trouble.

Under such circumstances, the resistance to the alliance between the righteous and demonic forces, led by twelve Enlightenment Cultivator and involving many Nascent Soul cultivators, has been greatly reduced.

Although the righteous and demonic forces were united during the two wars against the Heavenly Demons, they were somewhat estranged. At least in terms of mobilizing manpower and resources, they dispatched their own forces, merely forming a united front. However, after the two wars against the Heavenly Demons, and due to the heavy casualties among cultivators, these forces placed even greater emphasis on cooperation.

They were determined to create a force that could truly unify and command both righteous and demonic cultivators, under which all sects would be subject to unified command. This force needed to include all righteous and demonic cultivators, uniting their strength to fight against the Heavenly Demon.

Of course, achieving this is extremely difficult. Putting aside the question of how to calculate interests, the long-standing political alignment between the righteous and demonic factions in the Xuanhui Realm has resulted in drastically different beliefs among the righteous and demonic cultivators.

Righteous cultivators see Demonic Path cultivators as a calamity, because most Demonic Path cultivators are murderers with countless acts of slaughter on their hands. Demonic Path cultivators, on the other hand, see righteous cultivators as thieves, who, while secretly exploiting mortals, outwardly pretend to be welcoming and treat them well, hiding their cannibalistic nature—utterly hypocritical.

For this reason, disputes are inevitable when cooperating with each other. And the clash of ideas between righteous and demonic cultivators played a significant role in the fact that inner demons were able to destroy two sects.

Therefore, such an approach will face enormous resistance. However, if it succeeds, then the war between the Heavenly Demons and the Heavenly Demons will already be half won.

As the sect leader of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, Meng Tianyu naturally knew about these things, but she didn't care much about them.

As she calmed herself and rested, she suddenly thought of the Black Robed Person she had placed in the secret room.

She had initially thought the strange man was trying to use the pills to blackmail her into doing things for him, but these past few days had passed and he hadn't made a move. If she hadn't visited him frequently, she probably would have thought the Black Robed Person had met with some misfortune and died.

Although the Black Robed Person remained motionless, the situation was changing rapidly.

During these days, she did gain some insights. Because she survived the trauma of the Spirit Manifestation Heavenly Devil, she seized the opportunity to break through to the Golden Core stage and enter the Spirit Embodiment Stage, greatly increasing her strength.

Even so, she couldn't cure the poison the strange man had planted in her body, knowing that his strength was probably no less than that of a Spirit Possessor. But if he was above the Spirit Possessor realm, not far from the Nascent Soul or Divine Transformation stage, why would he pretend to be in such a state and deliberately hide in her small sect?

In the past few days, she had heard about the cause and effect of the Heavenly Demon War, and thinking about the fate of those two sects, she suddenly felt that the Black Robed Person might not be a cultivator at all.

She had rarely heard of inner demons before. But in the past few days, thanks to the major sects' tireless promotion, she had learned a lot about them.

First, the inner demon can shed its physical form and hide within a cultivator's body, either using the cultivator's body to move or secretly bewitching the cultivator to commit harmful acts. If it has a physical form, it looks like a human, but it is covered in black armor and has strange horns on its head. Because these kinds of celestial demons mostly reside in the inner circle and rarely manifest in the world, they are called inner demons, and because they restrain cultivators, they are also called Dao Demon.

These kinds of celestial demons are extremely difficult to find. Unless a high-level cultivator scans them with their Spiritual Sense, it is very difficult to discover these celestial demons hidden inside a cultivator's body.

Of course, because of this ability, such celestial demons are extremely rare among all celestial demons.

Meng Tianyu, who was already lost in thought because of the Black Robed Person's incomprehensible actions, suddenly seemed to understand something as soon as she dragged the Black Robed Person into her inner demons.

Her eyes widened suddenly, and a wave of emotion surged within her. In an instant, she realized just how much trouble the Black Robed Person's true form, if it were a demon, would bring to the cultivators of the Xuanhui Realm.

However, after getting up, the thought that he still had the poison in his body from the Black Robed Person, and that revealing the Black Robed Person's whereabouts would cause him to die instantly, made him smile bitterly and sit back down on the cushion.

Because she nearly died, she developed a attachment to life and couldn't bring herself to abandon her own life to tell others about the man in Black Robed Person. Besides, it was all just her speculation. What if the Black Robed Person wasn't a demon, but some heinous demonic cultivator intolerable to the righteous path? Such a thing wasn't impossible. If she really reported it, she would be failing herself and the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

If the Black Robed Person is indeed a heinous demonic cultivator, he won't face severe punishment. After all, the righteous and demonic forces are currently uniting, and while such a demonic cultivator is utterly wicked, he also possesses considerable strength. He will undoubtedly be sent to the Heavenly Devil Battlefield to atone for his sins. If a powerful figure from the Demonic Path favors him, the situation could actually turn out differently. In that case, he will be dead, but the Heavenly Dragon Sect will still exist. Sacrificing the weak to recruit the strong is something both the Dao Demon are capable of.

If things got to that point, her report would not only cost her her life, but it would also make the entire Heavenly Dragon Sect resentful of the Black Robed Person, at which point the Heavenly Dragon Sect would be gone for no reason.

Upon imagining such a scene, Meng Tianyu could only shake her head, assuming that the Black Robed Person was some kind of demonic cultivator, and dared not think further into the direction of Er Yi Wu Ni Jiu Liu Er's inner demons—she simply dared not gamble.

However, she dared not gamble, and outside the secluded room for meditation, the shouts of her disciples could be heard.

"Master, someone from the upper sect came to register the cultivation levels of all disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. The Great Elder Second Elder personally greeted them, and this disciple dared not obstruct them..."

"... I know."

Meng Tianyu sighed, knowing that these elders hadn't given up yet; on the contrary, they no longer hid because their intentions had been exposed.

She was also in a difficult situation. The elders of the Heavenly Dragon Sect were all harboring their own agendas and were determined to carve up the Heavenly Dragon Sect and run off to the major sects. Behind her was a Black Robed Person. Although she didn't know what this person wanted to do, as long as the poison in her body continued, she was under the control of the man in Black Robed Person.

"They'll never let this go; do they really think the heavens are going to destroy my Heavenly Dragon Sect?"

She was muttering to herself, about to leave the secret room, when suddenly a thought struck her and she had an idea.

"Those mischievous 'billionaires' (two) are disrespectful to their elders..."

As she pondered this, and saw her trusted disciple anxiously waiting outside, a scheme to use one enemy to devour another took shape in her mind.

Chapter 313 The Ship of Theseus

Regardless of what Heavenly Dragon Sect Master Meng Tianyu was thinking, Yotsuya Miko had found a place to settle down, was not idle during this period of easing in the war between the Heavenly Demons and the Heavenly Dragons.

Although her transformation had reached an extremely serious level, perhaps due to arriving in the Xuanhui Realm, the speed of transformation had increased dramatically. Currently, her torso and face had completely transformed into a non-human appearance, meaning that her transformed form was not that of an ordinary celestial demon but rather a manifestation of inner demons. However, it wasn't particularly ugly.

As the mutation intensifies, her body becomes stronger. Even if her limbs are severed or her internal organs are removed, she will not die. Moreover, due to the mutation, her soul has become strange. She has now surpassed the Nascent Soul Stage and reached the Yin Spirit Night Wandering realm, comparable to Spirit Manifestation Cultivator. Even if her head is destroyed now, as long as her soul is not damaged, her body can heal.

In other words, her current body is immortal. While she may not be able to revive from a single drop of blood, reviving from a mere clump of flesh is not difficult. However, a soul cultivator like her should be able to abandon her body and maintain the freedom of her soul. Yet, due to the mutation of the Heavenly Demon organs, her body has been forcibly shaped into this form. Furthermore, due to the mutation of her soul, she is unable to develop her Spiritual Sense in this Xuanhui Realm, let alone separate her soul from her body. It is undeniably a tragic situation.

This was something she felt deeply helpless about. This kind of alienation affected her soul as well. Even if she abandoned her current body, her new body would gradually transform into the appearance of a celestial demon. Moreover, while the alienation of her body could be suppressed with magic techniques, the alienation of her soul was impossible to stop.

As her soul became increasingly alienated, she felt her self-awareness becoming more and more blurred, and she began to subtly deny her own humanity and will.

This phenomenon is the best proof that she is gradually transforming into a demon, but she is powerless to stop it. On the day she truly and completely loses her humanity and will, even if her True Spirit still exists, she will no longer be herself. The being named Yotsuya Miko will die on the level of consciousness.

Yotsuya Miko didn't know how long ago that was, but it certainly wasn't now.

When that day comes, she should leave the Heavenly Dragon Sect and choose a place to end her life alone.

Now that things have come to this, she no longer expects to find the source of the mutation, nor does she expect to find the monster spawned by the Nightmare Refining Art that once ran to the Xuanhui Realm.

From the very beginning, when she ran away from the small world to this Xuanhui Realm, she never thought she would go back alive.

If I were to become a Heavenly Demon, it would undoubtedly be a catastrophe for the small world. But in this Xuanhui Realm, it would be insignificant, since I would only be comparable to Spirit Manifestation Cultivator, and at most, I would not be able to defeat a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

However, she remained pessimistic about her own views on life and death, and devoted herself to studying the vast amount of knowledge left behind by Zhang Qiudao day and night. As her cultivation level improved, her understanding and cognitive abilities regarding this knowledge also gradually increased. Although she could not reach Zhang Qiudao's level, she had no problem mastering at least a few percent of it.

During this time, she focused primarily on knowledge about Heavenly Demons and cultivation techniques. Her increased understanding of Heavenly Demons gave her better control over her current body, allowing her to unleash her full potential. As for cultivation techniques, she gradually deciphered the essence of the spells, techniques, and formulas she had learned.

Needless to say, the Soul Nourishing Artifact Path Understanding" is, as Zhang Qiudao said, the most superior complete collection of spells, many of which are extremely powerful. The "Nine Nether Profound Soul Treasure Record " has received the most attention. Through Zhang Qiudao's understanding of cultivation techniques, she finally gained a deeper understanding of the rules and effects achieved by the Nine Nether Profound Soul Treasure Record," and thus truly appreciated Zhang Qiudao's extraordinary talent.

Besides the side effect of the Soul Devouring Tribulation, the Nine Nether Profound Soul Treasure Record has an even more hidden side effect, which is not apparent under normal circumstances.
