Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

153: Chapter 153 If one reaches the Tribulation Transcending Realm, what’s wrong with slaughtering all the demons in this world?Feng Jiuge looked at the black-robed man.

The distance of three zhang was neither far nor near.

It was just enough for the other party to launch a sneak attack, and just enough for him to run away.

But what the man said next made him temporarily suppress the urge to run.

”Little fellow, tell me, are you human or demon?”

Feng Jiuge was stunned for a moment.

Then he laughed out loud.

First a light chuckle, then a loud laugh, laughing wantonly.

Laughing so much that the vertical eye on the black-robed man’s forehead opened slightly.

”Am I human or demon?”

Feng Jiuge’ laughter gradually stopped, and the appearance of the Demon Race with red bones faded away like a tide, revealing his original appearance.

Sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, face like polished jade.

His spiritual energy was pure and clear, without a trace of Devilish Qi.

”I am naturally of the Human Race.”

Feng Jiuge stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm.

He had long anticipated this day.

Ever since he slaughtered that Demon Race tribe in the first year, he knew he would sooner or later be targeted by the great powers of the Demon Realm.

After all, Demon Race tribes were disappearing one after another, and hundreds of thousands of Demon Race people vanished just like that; such a thing could be hidden for a while, but not forever.

Those old guys of the Mahayana and Tribulation Crossing stages in the Demon Realm were not blind.

But was he afraid?

No.

Feng Jiuge had always been very confident in his movement techniques.

Back in the Spirit Realm, he was once hunted by three Mahayana-stage old monsters working together, yet he still managed to escape with his life.

Those three old monsters chased him for a full three months, from the Northern Plains to the Western Wasteland, from the Western Wasteland to the Central Lands, and in the end, they could only watch helplessly as he escaped into a Secret Realm.

If he didn’t have this trump card for running away, how would he dare to be so reckless in the Demon Realm?

To have slaughtered hundreds of thousands of the Demon Race and still live safely until now.

This was not luck.

This was skill.

The black-robed man looked at Feng Jiuge’ fearless appearance and chuckled, ”Indeed interesting.”

”Do you know that I have noticed you since the first year you slaughtered that small tribe of over three hundred people?”

Feng Jiuge raised an eyebrow.

”Because that tribe was on the edge of the Human Race territory under my protection.”

”The people you rescued from there were placed in my territory.”

Hearing this, Feng Jiuge’ gaze slightly tightened.

He realized something and looked at the black-robed man in front of him again.

A vertical eye on his forehead, his appearance similar to the Demon Race, but that sentence just now was strange.

What did he mean by the Human Race territory under his protection?

What did he mean by being placed in his territory?

Thoughts raced through Feng Jiuge’ mind, but his face remained calm, and he said lightly: ”So, who exactly are you?”

The black-robed man stood with his hands behind his back, his tone calm: ”My surname is Chu, with the given name Xiu.”

”Tribulation Crossing Peak, in this Demon Realm, barely counts as a person of significance.”

”As for this appearance...”

”It is caused by the Cultivation Technique I practice.”

”Although the Demon Realm also has Spiritual Qi, it is ultimately dominated by Devilish Qi. To Cultivate quickly in this world, one must either absorb Devilish Qi or practice Demonic Techniques.”

”I chose the latter.”

”After practicing for a while, I became this look of neither human nor demon.”

Feng Jiuge was silent for a moment, then asked: ”Then what are you now, human or demon?”

Chu Xiu looked up at him, his figure reflected in the vertical eye on his forehead.

”My skin is of the Demon Race, but this heart has always been human.”

”Otherwise, why do you think I have been stuck at the Tribulation Crossing Peak for so many years, delaying my Ascension?”

Feng Jiuge felt a slight stir in his heart.

Ascension.

He naturally knew these two words.

For a Cultivator, above Soul Transformation is Void Refining, above Void Refining is Body Integration, above Body Integration is Mahayana, and above Mahayana is Tribulation Crossing.

After Undergoing Tribulation, one can Ascend to the Immortal Realm and become a Human Immortal.

This person in front of him, at the Tribulation Crossing Peak, could clearly Ascend, but remained in the Demon Realm.

Why?

The answer was obvious.

”I cannot let go of the Human Race in this world.”

”The Demon Realm is vast, with countless living beings. Although the Human Race is weak, they have multiplied to this day, barely surviving in the midst of poor mountains and treacherous waters.”

”If I Ascend, who will protect them?”

Feng Jiuge frowned: ”Can you protect them all by yourself?”

Chu Xiu shook his head: ”Naturally, I cannot.”

”There are about one hundred Demon Race members at the Tribulation Crossing Peak in the Demon Realm.”

”And on the Human Race side, including myself, there are only eight people at the Tribulation Crossing Peak.”

”One hundred against eight.”

”If a real fight breaks out, the Human Race here won’t last three days.”

Hearing this, Feng Jiuge frowned even tighter: ”Then why don’t the Demon Race join forces to wipe you eight out together?”

Chu Xiu laughed: ”Because the Demon Race is not monolithic either.”

”The Blood Eye Demon Race of the Eastern Region, the Silver Moon Demon Race of the Western Region, the Black Scale Demon Race of the Southern Region, the Ice Soul Demon Race of the Northern Region, and the Holy City of the Central Region.”

”The five major forces have been fighting openly and secretly for I don’t know how many tens of thousands of years.”

”Although they all view the Human Race as ants, to ask them to join forces and fight to the death with the eight Human Race Tribulation Crossing experts?”

”Who is willing to sacrifice their own Tribulation Crossing Ancestor to fill this hole?”

”If a fight breaks out and their own ancestor dies in battle, who would they reason with?”

Feng Jiuge suddenly understood.

Isn’t this the same as those Righteous Path Sects in the Spirit Realm?

They talk about slaying demons and upholding justice, but when it’s time to risk their lives, they cherish their own lives more than anyone else.

Weren’t the hypocrites he killed in the Spirit Realm back then exactly like this?

Chu Xiu looked at him and continued to ask the previous question: ”Kid, you haven’t answered my other question yet.”

”You killed so many of the Demon Race, yet you have no Karma clinging to you.”

”Instead, your cultivation is still improving?”

”Why is this?”

Feng Jiuge was silent for a moment and did not answer.

Seeing this, Chu Xiu did not continue to press.

”Fine, if you don’t say it, I won’t ask further.”

”However, your spiritual energy is pure and clear, unlike any Human Race Cultivator I have ever seen.”

”You are not from this world, right?”

Feng Jiuge’ pupils shrank slightly.

Chu Xiu continued: ”Don’t be nervous. I can tell because the Cultivation Technique I practice is extremely sensitive to spiritual energy aura.”

”Your spiritual energy is absurdly pure, clearly cultivated in a world full of Spiritual Qi.”

”Although the Demon Realm also has Spiritual Qi, it is far less dense than Devilish Qi. If one were born and raised in this world, no matter what, their spiritual energy would be tainted with some Devilish Qi.”

”Just like me.”

He raised his hand, and a faint light appeared at his fingertips. That light faintly revealed a dark red, which was a sign of the mixture of spiritual energy and Devilish Qi.

Feng Jiuge was silent for a moment, then finally spoke: ”Your Excellency guessed correctly, I am indeed not from this world.”

Chu Xiu heard this and showed no surprise, just nodded slightly: ”Indeed.”

Then he asked: ”Then which world are you from? Spirit Realm? Or Monster Realm?”

Feng Jiuge said: ”Spirit Realm.”

Chu Xiu’s eyes flashed with a hint of nostalgia: ”Spirit Realm... I have heard of that world; it is said that the Human Race is prosperous, while the Spirit Race has declined.”

Feng Jiuge nodded: ”Exactly.”

Chu Xiu looked at him and added: ”How did you come to the Demon Realm?”

”As far as I know, the barriers between Middle Thousand Worlds are strict; even at the Tribulation Crossing Peak, one cannot break the world barriers and travel between worlds.”

”Only when one’s cultivation reaches Human Immortal and after Ascending to the Immortal Realm does one have the strength to suppress one’s cultivation through special means and go to the Lower Realm one wants to go to.”

”But doing so would be rejected by the Heavenly Dao, and one would frequently face heavenly lightning, with a nine-in-ten chance of death.”

”With your Void Refining Late-stage cultivation, it is absolutely impossible to break the world on your own.”

Feng Jiuge did not hide it and told him about the Jade Slip.

After listening, Chu Xiu was silent for a long time before slowly saying: ”That Jade Slip is most likely the work of some great power in the Immortal Realm.”

”Only such an existence has the ability to refine a secret treasure that can cross world barriers.”

”It is your Opportunity that you were able to obtain it.”

Feng Jiuge nodded: ”Since Your Excellency has seen through my origin and observed me for two years, I don’t know what the purpose is for appearing today?”

Chu Xiu looked at him and said solemnly: ”I appeared today because I want to tell you...”

”You can kill as many of the Demon Race as you want, and you don’t have to do it secretly in the future.”

”I am willing to become your Dao Protector.”

Feng Jiuge was taken aback.

Dao Protector?

Feng Jiuge never believed that pies would fall from the sky.

He was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: ”Thank you, Senior, for your favor. But this Junior dares to ask, what does Senior want?”

”You are indeed cautious.”

”Fine, I will speak plainly.”

Chu Xiu stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, where the depths of the Demon Realm were, where no one knew how many Demon Race members were entrenched.

”I have cultivated for over five thousand years, my talent is not bad, my Opportunities are not few, and I have finally managed to reach the Tribulation Crossing Peak.”

”But there are too many things I cannot do.”

”I cannot kill all the Demon Race, and I cannot save all the Human Race.”

”I am just a Tribulation Crossing expert, not an Immortal.”

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Feng Jiuge.

”But you are different.”

”You possess strange arts, killing the Demon Race without Karma, and your cultivation can still improve.”

”You are only at Void Refining Late-stage, yet you dare to slaughter in the Demon Realm for two years and still retreat unscathed.”

”You have courage, means, and trump cards that I cannot see through.”

”I want to know, if one day, you also Cultivate to the Tribulation Crossing Peak...”

”Can you slaughter all the Demon Race in this world for me?”

Feng Jiuge was silent.

Chu Xiu’s words were calm, but the weight of them was as heavy as a thousand jun.

Slaughter all the Demon Race in this world.

The Demon Realm is vast; how many hundreds of millions of the Demon Race are there?

There are a hundred Demon Race members at the Tribulation Crossing Peak alone.

The number of Mahayana-stage Demon Race members is countless.

Such a bold statement, even if an Immortal from the Immortal Realm descended to the mortal world, would not dare to say it easily.

Yet this Human Race powerhouse in front of him pinned this hope on a Junior at the Void Refining Late-stage.

Feng Jiuge was silent for a long time.

Chu Xiu did not urge him either, just stood quietly, waiting for his reply.

After a long time, Feng Jiuge raised his head and said to Chu Xiu: ”If there really comes a day, and this Junior Cultivates to the Tribulation Crossing Realm.”

”Then, to slaughter all the Demon Race in this world for Senior, why not?”
