Demon Lord 3

The people on the list followed me back to my residence to rest, while the rest of us would ascend the mountain to cultivate. The mention of ascending the mountain reminded me of meeting Taoist Fang, so I didn't think much of it. After all, after reaching Earthly Immortal status, the next step was Human Immortal. If the list of Human Immortals wasn't finalized, it would be difficult to achieve that later. My father meant that those who could confirm the list of Human Immortals would return home first and listen to the instructions at my residence. Those who couldn't reach the Human Immortal status would ascend the mountain to cultivate basic skills, then upgrade upon their return. Even if they were to ascend directly to Celestial Immortal status, their strength would be somewhat lower than those who ascended from Human Immortal to Celestial Immortal. Reaching the Human Immortal status was like a springboard; with a springboard, one could leap higher, while those without it could only cultivate with their feet firmly planted on the ground. Those whose names weren't called weren't too discouraged; they simply joined together and ascended the mountain to cultivate. As they gradually walked away, Lin Zhenfei warmed up the car. Zhou Chuyuan wanted to call me in, but I was sitting halfway up the mountain, lost in thought, wondering, are we going our separate ways now? We were such good companions before, but now some are more capable, some less, creating a huge divide. Will we still collaborate on missions together? When some of us were assigned to the paranormal investigation team, I noticed that the team was starting to fall apart. Will we all be separated when we reach the big world? Will we have to fight alone then? We are indeed a team. Father has always cultivated our unity and cooperation, but now he's forcing us apart. Is he making us each fight our own battles? What's his purpose? I can't think of it now. I can only smell the scent of the breeze, mixed with a hint of moist earth. Night slowly falls, and I breathe in the night air. The slowly increasing oxygen brings a sense of peace and tranquility. Here, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, free from the exhaust fumes of cars, I don't know where to go. The stars illuminate me, but I don't know where they should go. Where should I go? Zhou Chuyuan sat with me for a while, a little further away. Everyone divided up their tasks. After getting in the car, I turned around and waved, saying I'd be on my way. I glanced at the list and realized there weren't many people on board: me, Zhou Chuyuan, Wu Luansen, Lin Zhenfei, Tian Yiming, Xing Zhichuan, Chen Lei, and Liu Yu. As I continued to search, I couldn't find any other names. Were we the only ones? Those last two weren't very strong either. My father had the master explain this arrangement to me ahead of time. Choosing the list was incredibly difficult, as everyone's abilities were similar. But in the end, only these few were chosen. Each one was a leader in their respective fields, while the others were merely followers. Although I wasn't happy with this arrangement, I felt that since we were friends and partners, we should share. However, the number of spots was limited. My father also said that if we gave the spot to anyone else, not only would we miss out, but we would also delay the others. If we diligently cultivated, we might still be able to complete the missions normally. But if I don't keep my feet on the ground and force myself to practice to become an immortal without being given a chance, then I will be punished for changing the rules of the heaven without permission. When I cross the tribulation, those who are not originally written on the list and force themselves to practice will be attacked infinitely by heavenly thunder. Not only will they fail to upgrade, but their practice may regress or even worse, their souls may be destroyed. I know that my father and the master are not exaggerating. They have experienced much more than I have.

When I got back to my place, I saw my long-missed bed and jumped over to it happily. I didn't expect that after so long, I was finally back. It was almost dawn, but I decided to catch up on some sleep. I just fell asleep when I discovered an earthquake. Zhou Chuyuan rushed into my room and grabbed me. I was still hesitant when I was thrown out of the room. I didn't expect that the things on the roof didn't fall down, but the ground started to go up and down. All of us didn't have anything to grab onto the vortex and were directly sucked in. Lin Zhenfei cursed, "Fuck, this is not a fucking earthquake. It seems to be another vortex from another world. Master really thinks we are not tired enough and is giving us trouble again."
