On the high platform, Li Wentian announced the start of the election and then left.
The man in white turned around and was slightly taken aback when he realized that Han Xuanji had disappeared.
When did he leave?
"Have no idea."
The woman in red was also somewhat incredulous; in the blink of an eye, the person had vanished.
They were, after all, Body Integration Cultivator, yet they had no idea when the other party left.
"Most likely a senior member of the Holy Sect, what a pity."
The man in white was somewhat disappointed. If they could all befriend a Saint Venerable or Venerable-level expert, it would be of great benefit to them.
at this time.
Han Xuanji had already arrived deep within the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Palace. He used the Heaven-Shrouding Technique to erase his own aura, so even an Immortal Ascension expert could not detect him.
[This is a five-star check-in area. Would you like to check in?]
Five stars?
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, silently reciting in his heart:
"System, check-in."
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Palace and obtained the Cultivation Method " Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method "].
" The Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method?"
Han Xuanji Han Xuanji the system's inheritance, and soon this incredibly profound demonic Cultivation Method flooded into his mind.
It differs from the abridged version of the Devouring Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method disseminated by the Heaven-Devouring Patriarch.
The complete Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method can be considered a complete breeding system.
Treating billions of living beings as "potential resources for growth," those who cultivate demons are like farmers, sowing Devil Seed and waiting to harvest.
The furnaces and cauldrons may seem to have endless glory, but in reality they are nothing more than livestock waiting to be slaughtered. The higher their cultivation level, the closer their death is.
"What a masterful combination of 'planting demons' and 'reaping'..."
A cold glint flashed in Han Xuanji's eyes; it was pretty much as he had expected.
This Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method is far too evil.
The entire Linyuan Continent is a "farm" that the other party has been cultivating for millennia.
Once those Saint Venerable reach the Late-Stage Immortal Ascension, even their divine souls will be devoured by him. But Li Wentian... this seemingly high-ranking and powerful sect leader is a seed of immortal medicine that he has carefully planted.
After reading it once, Han Xuanji realized that this Cultivation Method was indeed unorthodox and powerful, but it also had many weaknesses.
This is most likely Cultivation Method created by a powerful demonic cultivator from the upper realm.
When they ascend to the Devil Realm, they might just become someone else's elixir of immortality.
He would never learn it, and such Cultivation Method is against the natural order; if it were to spread, it would only bring disaster.
at the same time.
Several miles beneath the Devil Palace lies a dark, sunless dungeon.
The dungeon is divided into twelve levels, with dense patterns appearing in every corner, and a terrifying oppressive force permeates every space.
On each floor, numerous cultivators are imprisoned.
The twelfth floor, in particular, imprisoned many powerful cultivators, their shoulders pierced by black chains that continuously drained their life force.
Li Wentian, the sect leader of the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect, personally came to the twelfth floor of the dungeon.
" Wentian, you've finally arrived."
An aged voice came from not far away.
This was an old man with white hair and beard, now covered in dust and dirt, making it impossible to tell that he was a powerful Immortal Ascension.
"It seems you've finally realized the problem with the Heaven-Devouring Patriarch."
Upon hearing this...
Li Wentian also lowered his head and said in a deep voice:
"I want to know if what you're saying is true."
"Of course it's true."
"Are you comfortable sitting in your position as sect leader?"
The old man with white hair and beard smiled and said:
"Your cultivation level, and even your life."
"They're all just excellent furnaces that the Heaven-Devouring Patriarch prepared for himself."
Li Wentian trembled violently, his face turning deathly pale, and he murmured:
"So, I was just a vessel to be cultivated?"
There's no such thing as a free lunch. The Heaven-Devouring Patriarch gave him such a high position for no reason, so it's impossible that he was without desires.
He had already thought of this.
However, when he actually found out, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Good!"
The old man, with his white hair and beard, spoke with a chilling tone.
"He nurtured you, gave you resources, and elevated your status, all for his own benefit!"
"Then what should I do? To be honest, I can't break these chains either, and with my abilities, it's impossible for me to defy the Ancestor."
Li Wentian, then said in a low voice.
"Let's think of a way... I suggest you cultivate more slowly."
The old man, his hair and beard completely white, said helplessly.
"Furthermore, you should also try to make contact with other forces. This world is full of powerful figures; there might be someone who can rival the Heaven-Devouring Patriarch."
Upon hearing this...
Li Wentian seemed to have thought of something and spoke up:
"Perhaps there are powerful figures on the Nine Provinces Continent who can contend with them, but contacting them is a difficult problem."
"Oh?"
The old man with white hair and beard was startled and said:
"If such a powerful figure truly exists, we must find a way to notify him. We absolutely cannot allow this Heaven-Devouring Old Devil to continue spreading his Devil Cultivation Method."
Before Li Wentian could reply...
Suddenly, a detached voice rang out.
"You're not stupid after all."
Li Wentian noticed the voice was unfamiliar and turned around abruptly.
Suddenly, a young man who looked like an immortal appeared behind him. The man's aura was restrained, and his true cultivation level could not be discerned, but his demeanor was not to be underestimated.
Just as Li Wentian was about to speak, he felt his body suddenly sink, as if he were being pressed down by an invisible mountain.
His spiritual energy flowed sluggishly, and a fear originating from his life instinct, like an icy tide, instantly overwhelmed his mind. He felt that everything about him was clearly seen by the being before him, and that he had no secrets whatsoever.
Within Han Xuanji's Double Pupils, Chaos aura flowed, revealing a Devil Seed deep within Li Wentian's body.
This is a guillotine hanging above his head, ready to fall at any moment!
"It's not too late to understand now."
Han Xuanji's voice was calm.
"Could you be one of the powerful figures from the Nine Provinces Continent?"
Li Wentian wasn't stupid either, and he quickly guessed Han Xuanji's identity.
His tone was one of disbelief.
The Nine Provinces Continent is an unknown distance from this place, yet the other party was able to arrive at the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Sect so quickly and infiltrate here silently.
This shows that even the Heaven-Devouring Patriarch failed to detect the other party.
The old man, with his white hair and beard, narrowed his eyes sharply, a glimmer of hope appearing in his cloudy old eyes, and he hurriedly said:
"Greetings, senior. We humbly request that you eradicate the Heaven-Devouring Old Devil and restore freedom to the Linyuan Continent and its countless lives."
"My purpose in coming here is naturally to eliminate this demon."
Han Xuanji nodded slightly and glanced at the people.
The cultivators on the twelfth floor are all at the Immortal Ascension Realm. Among them, the strongest, the white-haired old man, is a master at the Immortal Ascension Sixth Layer. Now, his aura is waning, and he is almost about to fall back to the lower realm.
In the outside world, he would be the patriarch of any sect, a powerful figure who could command the wind and rain; here, he has become a prisoner, a truly lamentable situation.
"However, let me eliminate this Devil Seed first."
Han Xuanji looked at Li Wentian, startling the latter.
