Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 509: The Demonic Sect Demon Girl, Rebellion Against Tiangang
Mei Yingxue was working at her desk.

There were a lot of information on the table. On the left was a large stack of various measurement data for the progress of this spiritual energy revival, and on the right was the psychological diagnosis reports of the members of the four major teams.

This earth world, which is gradually becoming full of spiritual energy, is completely different from the world of cultivation where she was born.

Taking the Foundation Establishment Stage as an example, cultivators in the world of cultivation begin their practice with a mortal body until they complete the Qi Refining Stage and break through to the Marrow Cleansing Stage. This requires at least sixty years of hard practice. Therefore, there is also the so-called "sixty years of skill" to measure whether the cultivator has reached the threshold of the Tao realm.

In less than sixty years, even if you have practiced for thirty or forty years, you are still an ordinary person in the eyes of true practitioners - at most, an ordinary person who is devoted to the Tao.

But on Earth, it has been less than a year since the spiritual energy revived, and the top cultivators have already reached the marrow cleansing stage. The speed of upgrading is astonishingly fast.

In this regard, Mei Yingxue proposed an academic hypothesis: the speed of time flow in different world planes is different, but the speed of spiritual energy flow remains conserved throughout the universe and is a stable constant.

There's a saying that goes, "One day in heaven is one year on earth." This means that one day in the immortal realm is equivalent to one year on earth. Considering that the speed at which spiritual energy enters the body remains constant, if two people simultaneously cultivate in the immortal realm and the mortal realm, the power gained by the former in one day's breathing and refining of Qi would take the latter a year of diligent practice.

Given the vastly different cultivation rates, Earth undoubtedly holds a significant advantage. For example, consolidating one's Dao foundation at the Huafu stage requires at least 200 years of practice in the cultivation world before one can hope to achieve a high-grade golden elixir, while on Earth this can be accomplished in an estimated 2-3 years (of course, whether one can survive the heavenly tribulation is another matter).

Sometimes Mei Yingxue even suspected that the earth might be a fairyland in incubation. When the upper limit of spiritual energy recovery reaches the highest level, perhaps more people from the lower world will ascend here one after another... At least she and Zhao Yuanzhen appeared here, which meant that the earth was not a closed world, and its space barrier was connected to other lower worlds.

Of course, even if the cultivation speed multiplier is extremely high, it still takes 2-3 years to reach the perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm. This means that even the strongest group of cultivators in Lu Country will need to wait until the end of this year or even next year to catch up with himself and Zhao Yuanzhen in terms of cultivation progress.

This creates hidden dangers.

Mei Yingxue didn't consider herself a ruthless villain, but she wasn't entirely sure about Zhao Yuanzhen. Born into a demonic sect, this woman possessed a pure mind, unable to distinguish between good and evil, often harming others without realizing it. If she discovered she had suddenly become the world's most powerful, there was no guarantee she wouldn't overstep her bounds and bring disaster upon the nation and its people.

Her original plan was to let Yan Yu be responsible for controlling the demonic women. If there was any discord, she would take action to eliminate the demons.

Unexpectedly, the other girls in the Zhenhai team would also fall in love with the same man as that vixen.

Mei Yingxue had never doubted the Demon Sect's irritability and murderous nature. When her superiors asked for her opinion on how to deal with the situation, she pointed out that the planned harem strategy was indeed a good solution.

The reason is simple: if something is too easy to get, you won’t cherish it, and if you can’t get it, you will be furious.

If the evil woman cannot get Yan Yu, she will be burned with jealousy and even bring disaster to the people; but if she monopolizes Yan Yu, she is afraid that she will get tired of the relationship later, and then no one will be able to control her, which will be even worse.

If she gets the person she loves, but there is always someone competing with her, her mind will be full of thoughts about how to monopolize favor, maintain favor, and be jealous. How can she have more time and energy to cause trouble?

The land of beauties is a burial ground for heroes, and the same principle holds true if the genders are reversed. She was even able to pass on the "Thread Pulling Technique" to Yan Yu, clearly showing that she was deeply in love with him. If they could maintain this relationship steadily, the demon woman wouldn't be a concern.

Thinking of this, Mei Yingxue picked up the Zhenhai Team's psychological diagnosis and read it again for a while.

Mei Yingxue was quite interested in one of the girls, named "Chen Lingyun", because the information indicated that she had the idea of "letting Yan Yu start a harem", which was not a thought that a normal woman should have.

Could it be that she also knows how to deal with the demonic witch?
Maybe... I can find some time to meet her.

--------

The clearing of the secret realm is nearing completion. The outer puppets have been completely cleared out, with only a few remnants remaining in the central villages and towns.

After several weeks of practice, everyone felt they had made some progress. Lin Ning's Fenyun Bagua Step became increasingly proficient, and even Yan Yu couldn't find any fault with her technique.

Of course, she has fully mastered "how to walk", but she is still unfamiliar with "where to walk". This is purely the accumulation of combat experience, so don't expect her to achieve it overnight.

Su Yunjin and Chen Lingyun, as characters who help to "gather monsters" and "control monsters", have become more proficient in this aspect, which can be regarded as an improvement in their professional abilities.

Xie Ruoxi's accuracy was finally acceptable. She could hit eight out of ten targets when shooting at a stationary target. Unfortunately, it was difficult for her to completely control the enemy in actual combat. If she could control the enemy, wouldn't it be faster for me to just stab him with my flying sword?

The one who gained the most was naturally the demon woman from the Demon Sect.

As the spiritual energy revival progressed, the demon girl had recovered her full strength and also found back the refreshing feeling of fighting with others in the past. With the Yinfeng Sword + various spells + the Bone Heart Locking Hammer, she didn't even need the help of her teammates. She could take away the sword-controlling puppet with a single combo. As she became more and more proud, her attitude towards Yan Yu also began to become slightly rebellious.

For example, after dinner, when eating melon seeds in the room, the girl used to say, "Do you want some? I'll share with you." But now it has become "Hey, come and eat."

The change in her attitude was so obvious that Yan Yu also noticed that something was wrong with her and began to think of a solution silently.

In the past, the witch had three concerns about herself: one was her non-existent master of magic, the second was Mei Yingxue who could appear at any time and threaten her life, and the third was that she would be beaten by herself in actual combat.

First, because I never mentioned it afterwards, I guess she almost forgot about it.

Secondly, as her fame in the Zhenhai team grew, with the country's protection, she was no longer afraid that Mei Yingxue would suddenly appear and assassinate her.

Thirdly, as the spiritual energy revival allowed her to regain her strength, this little girl probably felt that she was strong enough again and was no longer the weak woman who was ravaged by me.

This change in attitude is definitely just the beginning of a test. If I don't punish her, she might rebel and ask me to feed her after a while!

How can it be possible to turn Tiangang upside down?

Her arrogance must be severely dealt with!

As for how to strike back, Yan Yu doesn't have any good ideas for the time being.

The story of the powerful master was a lie, and he couldn't turn into a real person later, so it was best not to continue the story, lest it be difficult to justify the lie later. Or should we call Teacher Mei to come over and give the witch a good beating?
That wouldn't work. The demon girl was afraid of Teacher Mei because Teacher Mei's sword was ruthless and would kill anyone he met. If she simply beat him up, the demon girl would be even more certain that Teacher Mei wouldn't kill her. But since it was impossible to actually kill her, this plan wouldn't work either.

In that case, I can only find another reason to beat her up.

Zhao Yuanzhen was unaware of the extremely unfriendly thoughts Yan Yu was harboring towards her. He was currently gnawing on the braised chicken feet he had stolen from the cafeteria when he suddenly remembered something and asked Yan Yu:

"Hey, do you want to eat?"

Yan Yu raised his eyes silently and saw the half-eaten chicken feet with crystal clear silk threads on them... The veins on his forehead popped up, the corners of his eyes twitched, and his heart sank.

Is this a provocation? Absolutely a provocation! I think you're really asking for a fight!
"You can keep it for yourself." He smiled kindly. "Eat your fill now and eat better."

"Okay." Zhao Yuanzhen didn't understand the hidden meaning in his words. He just stuffed the chicken feet back into his mouth and said vaguely, "Ningning still has a bag. I'll finish them all."
