Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

163: Chapter 163 Primordial Chaos, Limitless Destruction, Heavenly Punishment of the Great Demon Lord!Thinking this, Gu Yan’s mind stirred, and light flowed across the haotian mirror.

He began to deduce.

A moment later, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

As expected.

Standing behind this Heaven Burning Demon Venerable was indeed that old demon at the Peak of the Immortal King realm.

The deduction results showed that Heaven Burning Demon Venerable was originally a Loose Cultivator in the Spirit Realm one hundred thousand years ago.

By chance, he obtained a wisp of the old demon’s demonic will Legacy, which led him onto the path of the Demonic Path.

When the old demon originally placed this pawn, it was just a casual act, and he had not intended to use it.

But later, Myriad Tribulations Demon Lord met an early defeat in the Spirit Realm and was destroyed by the Bull Demon King.

The old demon’s layout in the Spirit Realm suddenly developed a gap.

Thus, this backup pawn, which had been sealed for one hundred thousand years, was reactivated.

After reading the deduction results, Gu Yan couldn’t help but sigh again.

This old demon at the Peak of the Immortal King realm was truly a talent.

One pawn is ruined, another takes its place.

Interlocking and calculated at every step.

If this level of planning and this kind of persistent perseverance were not used for things like blood sacrificing the common people, wouldn’t he succeed at anything?

What a pity.

He is destined to never succeed in blood sacrificing the common people.

Not to mention that the Heavenly Dao would not allow such things to truly grow.

Even in the future, if he had the strength, he would definitely not sit idly by.

Of course, this does not mean that Gu Yan has a saintly heart and cannot bear the suffering of the world.

Rather, such blood sacrifices disturb his state of mind and disrupt his Dao Heart, making them very eyesores.

Once he finds them an eyesore, his mood becomes unsettled; when his mood is unsettled, his Cultivate slows down, which is naturally intolerable to him.

However, having said that, what exactly is the background of this old demon at the Peak of the Immortal King realm?

Gu Yan only knew he was the mastermind behind the scenes, but had never delved into his title.

Now that he thought about it, he should take a look.

He formed a hand seal, and the images on the haotian mirror continued to flow.

A moment later, a line of text appeared in the mirror:

【Primordial Infinite World-Extinguishing Heavenly Punishment Great Demon Venerable】

Gu Yan: ”...”

This title...

How should he put it.

It is very imposing.

It is countless times more domineering than that Three-Eyed One-Legged Bull Demon Immortal King he encountered before.

That one’s title sounded like a mountain bandit king.

This one, on the other hand, went straight for something grand.

Primordial, Infinite, World-Extinguishing, Heavenly Punishment.

Every single word is intimidating enough on its own, yet he strung them all together.

Gu Yan withdrew his thoughts, looked at the line of text in the mirror again, and shook his head.

No matter how domineering the title is, the things he does are still the same.

Placing pawns, conducting blood sacrifices, and messing with the Lower Realm.

Gu Yan thought for a moment and felt that this old guy definitely hadn’t just placed pawns in the Demon Realm and the Spirit Realm.

Perhaps the Monster Realm, the Ghost Realm, and all the other Middle Thousand Worlds had his hidden hands.

This kind of old monster who has lived for who knows how many years is best at this sort of thing.

If it doesn’t shine in the east, it shines in the west.

If this pawn is ruined, there is still that one.

Anyway, there is plenty of time, so he can just plan slowly.

However, it is not his turn to worry about these things yet.

He is currently only at the second level of the Profound Immortal realm.

He has not yet figured out how deep the waters of the Immortal Realm are.

The best plan for now is to just honestly Cultivate.

First, raise his cultivation level.

As for the rest, there will be plenty of time to see later.

Thinking this, Gu Yan put away the haotian mirror and stopped looking.

He sat cross-legged again, closed his eyes to focus, and immersed himself in Cultivate.

...

Meanwhile, in the Spirit Realm, Eastern Continent, Azure Wave Sect.

Inside the main hall of the main Peak, Sect Master Wu Changan sat high on the main seat, his expression solemn.

The two rows of seats below were filled with Sect Elders.

The atmosphere in the hall was oppressive, and no one spoke.

Wu Changan looked around and said in a deep voice: ”Everyone should have heard that Heaven Burning Demon Venerable has established a nation in the Northern Plains, gathering tens of thousands of Demonic cultivators in just three years, showing considerable momentum.”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an immediate buzz of discussion in the hall.

An Elder with white hair and beard spoke first: ”Sect Master, the trend of the world is not right.”

”Demonic cultivators are making a comeback, and Heaven Burning Demon Venerable is coming aggressively; I fear another catastrophe is imminent.”

Another Elder nodded in agreement: ”Indeed, I have read about the events of one hundred thousand years ago in the records. Back then, Heaven Burning Demon Venerable slaughtered the Central Plains until rivers of blood flowed, and the three great Holy Lands of the Eastern Continent were completely massacred by him.”

”Now that he has returned, I fear he will be even more ferocious than before.”

”What are you afraid of?” An Elder sitting in the corner waved his hand dismissively.

”No matter how fierce that Heaven Burning Demon Venerable is, he is messing around in the Central Plains and the Northern Plains; he is far away from our Eastern Continent.”

”If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up; it is not our Azure Wave Sect’s turn to worry.”

Another Elder took over: ”Besides, this place, the Spirit Realm, has always had the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path taking turns in power.”

”When the Demonic momentum is strong, the Righteous Path lies dormant.”

”When the Righteous Path is strong, the Demonic Path retreats.”

”It is precisely because of this that the Spirit Realm has produced heroes and experts one after another.”

”This ebb and flow is the natural order of heaven and earth; there is no need to worry too much.”

”That’s right.” Another Elder agreed.

”Do you all remember the Myriad Tribulations Demon Lord from a few years ago?”

”Back then, he also had great momentum, unified the Southern Border, and was unbridled.”

”What was the result? He was destroyed by the Bull Demon King.”

”And what about that Bull Demon King? Didn’t he die in the end too?”

”The experts of the Spirit Realm come and go; how many can truly laugh until the end?”

The white-haired Elder from earlier pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: ”You are all right. We, the Eastern Continent, have the protection of an expert who can easily destroy a Tribulation Crossing Peak existence.”

”With such a figure sitting in the Eastern Continent, even if Heaven Burning Demon Venerable had the courage of the heavens, he would definitely not dare to attack our Eastern Continent.”

As soon as this was said, the expressions of everyone in the hall relaxed significantly.

After hearing this, Wu Changan nodded slightly: ”What you Elders say makes sense.”

”With that expert there, our Eastern Continent is indeed as stable as Mount Tai.”

”I gathered you all today just to hear everyone’s opinions. Since you all feel there is no need to worry too much, let us disperse.”

The Elders acknowledged the order and dispersed one after another.

The hall returned to quiet.

Wu Changan sat alone in the main seat, picked up his teacup for a sip, and gazed at the sky outside the hall.

That expert...

Is indeed a reassurance.

It’s just that I don’t know how much longer this expert can stay in the Spirit Realm.

Forget it, thinking so much is useless.

Just take it one step at a time.

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, five more years passed.

The situation in the Spirit Realm exceeded everyone’s expectations.

After Heaven Burning Demon Venerable established a nation in the Northern Plains, he did not expand on a large scale as everyone had expected.

He held his ground in the Northern Plains, neither advancing east nor moving south.

The grand declarations of reclaiming the Central Plains and reclaiming the Eastern Continent were shouted loudly, but no actual actions were ever seen.

For five years, the territory of the Heaven Burning Imperial Dynasty did not expand outward by even an inch.

The Righteous Path forces outside the Northern Plains went from being on high alert at the beginning to watching and suspecting later, and now to being accustomed to it.

Some say that Heaven Burning Demon Venerable is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and establishing the nation was already his limit.

Some say he is accumulating strength, waiting for an opportunity.

Others say he never intended to fight at all, just wanted to find a place in the Northern Plains to spend his later years in peace.

There are many different opinions, and no consensus has been reached.

But one thing is certain.

The Spirit Realm will not be at war for the time being.

And Heaven Burning Demon Venerable himself was currently sitting in the Demon City of the Northern Plains, his expression gloomy.

He did not understand.

He, the dignified Heaven Burning Demon Venerable, a peerless figure who swept across the Central Plains and Eastern Continent one hundred thousand years ago, why must he be holed up in this cold, bitter land, unable to take a single step forward?

He had asked that voice.

The voice that had been lingering in his mind since the moment he was resurrected.

That voice told him: It is not the time yet.

Heaven Burning Demon Venerable was furious at the time.

Not the time?

Then when is the time?

He, the dignified Heaven Burning Demon Venerable, needs others to teach him how to do things?

He cursed at the void, questioning who the other party was and by what right they were bossing him around.

However, the voice chanted a demonic incantation.

Heaven Burning Demon Venerable only felt as if thousands of tons of thunder exploded in his mind, and his internal organs were churning.

He rolled on the ground in pain, tears and snot streaming down his face; where was there any trace of the Demon Venerable’s majesty?

When the incantation was finished, he was already collapsed on the ground, covered in cold sweat like syrup.

From then on, he never dared to defy that voice again.

He even had to honestly call the other party Master.

And that Master was currently sitting cross-legged in a palace surrounded by Devilish Qi somewhere in the Immortal Realm.

It was none other than the Primordial Infinite World-Extinguishing Heavenly Punishment Great Demon Venerable.

This Great Demon Venerable, whose title was boundlessly domineering, was currently sitting with his eyes closed in deep thought.

He remembered that the pawn he had placed, Myriad Tribulations Demon Lord, was operating well in the Spirit Realm, but was accidentally ruined by that bull demon.

What concerned him even more was that the bull demon’s pawn had also been killed by someone else.

He had not yet investigated which Immortal King was behind the killing of the bull demon’s pawn.

Also, this game of chess in the Spirit Realm was never a game controlled solely by him and that bull demon.

And now, all parties are lying dormant, waiting for an opportunity.

Therefore, after he used the backup pawn, Heaven Burning Demon Venerable, he did not rush to let him go on a killing spree.

Instead, he let him stay in the Northern Plains first.

Wait for the situation in the Spirit Realm to become more chaotic.

Wait for the other Immortal Kings’ pawns to surface.

See who can finally laugh until the end and obtain the thing they want most.
