Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

162: Chapter 162 The Grand Stage of the Spirit Realm is in Turmoil Once Again!Gu Yan withdrew his gaze from the Demon Realm, casually brushed his hand over the haotian mirror, and looked toward the Spirit Realm.

However, the scene in the mirror made his brows slightly arch.

”How is this Spirit Realm not peaceful again?”

What appeared in the mirror was a city somewhere in the Eastern Continent.

Pedestrians on the street walked with hurried steps, their expressions grave.

Inside teahouses and taverns, some people were whispering, their expressions filled with worry.

Gu Yan formed a hand seal, and the image in the mirror shifted.

A moment later, he gradually understood the reason.

Demonic Cultivators.

Those Demonic Cultivators who should have vanished without a trace were actually becoming active again.

Come to think of it, the largest force of Demonic Cultivators in the Spirit Realm was originally the Myriad Tribulations Demonic Cult that unified the Southern Frontier.

Later, the Myriad Tribulations Demonic Cult was destroyed by the Bull Demon King; the Demonic Cultivators suffered heavy casualties, and the survivors hid, not daring to show their faces.

But now, for some reason, these Demonic Cultivators were popping up one after another again.

Southern Frontier, Western Wasteland, Northern Plains, Eastern Continent, Central Plains.

Across the lands of the five regions, traces of Demonic Cultivator activity could be found everywhere.

They acted more secretively than before, yet also more rampantly.

Robbing homes, killing people to seize treasures, and even openly confronting Righteous Path Cultivators.

The Righteous Path forces in various regions of the Spirit Realm sensed an unusual atmosphere.

Someone was pushing this from behind the scenes.

Someone was consolidating these scattered Demonic Cultivators.

”Who could it be?”

Until that day, an earth-shattering piece of news swept through the entire Spirit Realm like a gale.

An ancient Demonic Cultivator from one hundred thousand years ago was about to resurrect.

This Demonic Cultivator was no ordinary figure back in his day.

He had once unified the Central Plains and the Eastern Continent, establishing a massive Demonic Dynasty.

At that time, the Righteous Path of the Central Plains bowed their heads, and the Sects of the Eastern Continent paid homage.

Half of the entire Spirit Realm fell under his control.

Later, this Demon Venerable suddenly disappeared.

Some said he had achieved Ascension to the Immortal Realm.

The Righteous Path Alliance seized the opportunity to rise, overthrew the Demonic Dynasty, and restored the Central Plains and the Eastern Continent.

For one hundred thousand years, the world believed that the Demon Venerable had long since achieved Ascension and was living happily in the Immortal Realm.

But looking at it now, that was clearly not the case.

He had not achieved Ascension.

He was still in the Spirit Realm.

Or rather, he had always been in the Spirit Realm.

Only, for some unknown reason, he had remained dormant for one hundred thousand years.

Now, he was coming back.

When the news spread, the Spirit Realm was shaken.

Righteous Path forces in various regions scrambled to investigate, attempting to uncover the background of this Demon Venerable.

Some dug up dust-covered ancient texts and found records from those years.

That Demon Venerable was named Heaven Burning Demon Venerable.

He had Tribulation Crossing Peak cultivation.

When he unified the Central Plains and Eastern Continent back then, he caused heads to roll and blood to flow like rivers.

Of the ten great Righteous Path Sects in the Central Plains, seven were wiped out by him.

The three great Holy Lands of the Eastern Continent were all slaughtered by him.

It was a catastrophe.

Fortunately, that was one hundred thousand years ago.

The Righteous Path forces in the Central Plains and Eastern Continent today were no longer what they used to be.

Every family had a Tribulation Crossing Ancestor.

”No matter how strong you, Heaven Burning Demon Venerable, are, you are only at the Tribulation Crossing Peak.”

”Can you, one person, defeat so many of us?”

”If we unite, why should we fear you?”

Most people of the Righteous Path thought this way.

But that Demon Venerable did not seem to care what they thought.

After resurrecting, the first thing Heaven Burning Demon Venerable did was to announce it to the world.

”I will reclaim the Central Plains and reclaim the Eastern Continent.”

”I will rebuild the Demonic Path Imperial Dynasty.”

”I will let Demonic Cultivators stand at the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm once again.”

”All Demonic Cultivators may come and join me.”

”With my protection, you will have no more worries.”

When this news came out, the Demonic Cultivators of the world were in an uproar.

Those Demonic Cultivators who had been hiding for years, those who were hunted and had nowhere to live, and those who were frustrated and unappreciated, all set out, rushing to where the Demon Venerable was located.

For a time, various legends of Heaven Burning Demon Venerable circulated in the world.

Some said he was already a half-step Immortal, only one step away from Ascension.

Some said he possessed an ancient Demonic treasure of infinite power, and even a Tribulation Crossing Ancestor could not withstand a single blow from him.

Others said he had not disappeared for these one hundred thousand years, but was cultivating a supreme Demonic Technique; now that he had succeeded and emerged from seclusion, he intended to sweep across the Spirit Realm and achieve Dao and Ascension.

The rumors became more bizarre and outrageous as they spread.

Yet, more and more people believed them.

Three years.

In just three short years.

Heaven Burning Demon Venerable had truly established a Demonic Path Imperial Dynasty.

Heaven Burning Imperial Dynasty.

He had chosen this name himself.

Simple, direct, and filled with Killing Intent.

However, the location of this Imperial Dynasty was somewhat unexpected.

The Northern Plains.

Among the five regions of the Spirit Realm, the Northern Plains was currently the weakest.

It was bitterly cold and barren, and had never been taken seriously by the major forces.

Furthermore, the Northern Plains was originally the territory of the Yao Race.

But over these years, the great experts of the Yao Race had either died or fled, and there were no longer any large forces of any significance.

The remaining small demons and monsters hid themselves, not daring to show their faces.

Heaven Burning Demon Venerable had taken a liking to this place.

”Bitterly cold? It is perfect for tempering the will of Demonic Cultivators.”

Thus, the Demon Slaughter Imperial Dynasty established its capital in the Northern Plains.

Within three years, a towering Demon City rose from the ground.

Demonic Cultivators from all directions flocked to join.

In a short span of time, it had already gathered tens of thousands of people.

It was not that the Righteous Path forces had not thought of stopping him.

But the Northern Plains was vast and sparsely populated, and the Righteous Path forces could not reach it.

By the time they realized what was happening, the Demon Slaughter Imperial Dynasty had already become a force to be reckoned with.

Gu Yan looked at the scene in the mirror, once again exclaiming internally, ”Good grief.”

”Is the Spirit Realm about to get lively again?”

He thought about it, but did not feel surprised.

The Spirit Realm was, after all, the number one grand stage below the Immortal Realm; it was normal for it to be chaotic.

Therefore, having been peaceful for these few years, it was about time for something to happen.

”But this Heaven Burning Demon Venerable...”

Gu Yan shook his head.

”Tribulation Crossing Peak.”

”An old monster from one hundred thousand years ago.”

”If he didn’t have Immortal Realm forces backing him, he would be considered a figure.”

”But if Immortal Realm forces are meddling...”

”Then that is hard to say.”

Gu Yan recalled the Blood Slaughter Ancestor he had just seen in the Demon Realm.

He thought to himself, ”Could this incident in the Spirit Realm also be related to the Immortal King Devil Head behind that old demon?”
