Practice begins with immortality

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. One day, Wang Bai arrived at Tianyong City.

The city square was filled with monks, some standing, some sitting, some talking, some silent, each of them emitting a powerful aura, and among them were many Jindan Zhenren.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, come here." Yu Chen's voice rang out at that moment. Following the sound, Wang Bai saw Yu Chen standing on a flying boat, waving at him. Seeing this, Wang Bai went straight to one of the boat's cabins.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you have actually broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core!" Yu Chen said in shock as he felt the aura emanating from Wang Bai.

Wang Bo smiled slightly upon seeing this and said, "I was just lucky enough to have some opportunities. I only achieved a breakthrough last month."

"That being said, Fellow Daoist Wang, I see you're probably less than 200 years old. It's truly shameful that you've achieved so much at such a young age. But if that happens, I'm afraid all the preparations I've made over the years won't be of any use," Yu Chen said bitterly. He'd specially acquired a water-attributed talisman to deal with the fire lion, but now it looked like it wouldn't be of any use.

Two hours later, a large number of flying boats rose into the air and flew towards the ruins.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, I heard that you went into the ruins of the Demonic Sect a hundred years ago. Do you have any experience?" In the cabin, Wang Bai suddenly asked Yu Chen.

Hearing this, Yu Chen glanced at the other party, then slowly said: "It's not about experience or anything like that. It's just things that you will naturally understand after entering the ruins."

He then continued, "The ruins are divided into two parts, the inner and outer parts. The things in the outer part are mostly useless to those of us at the Jindan stage, so those who go there are generally Foundation Establishment cultivators. The inner part, on the other hand, is different. There are many treasures there, especially in the very center. It's rumored that someone once obtained a magical technique that could directly reach the Nascent Soul stage. Of course, that's also where the competition is most intense. Not only are there great cultivators in the late Jindan stage, but also..."

Having said this, Yu Chen paused, then lowered his voice and said, "The cultivators who come out from those large sects to train have skills and methods that are far beyond the reach of ordinary Jindan cultivators. Therefore, most Jindan cultivators in the Tianjing Plains choose to search for treasures in the outlying areas, and I did the same at the time. However, the Mosha Sect is, after all, an ancient sect that once had three Yuanying-stage masters. Even in the outlying areas, you can still find some good things."

"However, if you encounter a cultivator from a big sect, don't hesitate and run away immediately. Killings and looting are common in the ruins. The cultivators from big sects are stronger than ordinary Jindan like us in both fighting skills and background. If you don't run away quickly, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky if you get killed." He changed the subject and said to Wang Bai.

"Thank you very much for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Yu." Wang Bai said with a slight smile.

……

After flying for two and a half hours, the flying boat arrived at the front of a valley. Seeing this, everyone disembarked. In addition to the monks from the Hundred Cities Alliance, there were also monks from other factions in the valley.

"Who is the cultivator who came with the black cloud?" A cultivator in the crowd asked his elder in a low voice.

"He has such a sinister aura, I'm afraid he's a cultivator from the evil sect. We must avoid him later." The leaders of the famous forces sent messages to their descendants.

"I wonder what sect or school you are from?" Two figures appeared above the sky and asked the man.

"Those two are Wu Hao, the direct disciple of the Tianxuan Sect's Patriarch, and Cheng Wushuang, the grandson of the Hundred Cities Alliance leader," one of the cultivators exclaimed. Both were late-stage Jindan cultivators, direct disciples of True Lords, and rarely rivaled in their realms. Now, unexpectedly, they had appeared simultaneously because of one individual. What was the origin of that cultivator?

"The Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, the Blood God lineage, Li Youying/Zhang Wan/Xue Ku." The black clouds dispersed, and three people emerged from them, two young men and an old man, with Li Youying vaguely as the leader.

"So it's the three fellow Taoists from the Ten Thousand Demons Palace. We're sorry for not welcoming you in person." Wu Hao and Cheng Wushuang's pupils trembled when they heard the words "Ten Thousand Demons Palace", and then they clasped their fists and said.

When the three words "Hall of Ten Thousand Demons" came out, many cultivators were very confused, but some knowledgeable cultivators were shocked.

"It's actually someone from the Ten Thousand Demons Palace." Wang Bai thought to himself. As a Jindan cultivator, he naturally had some understanding of the major forces in the world of immortal cultivation.

The Ten Thousand Demons Hall is a demonic sect in Xiyun Continent. Its various branches encompass various methods, including but not limited to corpse refining, ghost cultivation, and the cultivation of evil spirits. The Blood God lineage is a demonic cultivation practice focused on the path of blood. With ten known Nascent Soul cultivators and one Divine Transformation master within the sect, it is a dominant force in the world of immortal cultivation.

"I wonder if the three fellow Taoists have come here for the ruins of the Demonic Sect?" Cheng Wushuang asked, while he was also looking at the other party.

"The old man's cultivation is at the perfect Golden Core stage, and it seems that he is like a bodyguard. The leader, Li Youying, is at the late Golden Core stage, but it seems that he just broke through not long ago. As for Zhang Wan, he is only at the early Golden Core stage. It seems that he is here for the ruins." Cheng Wushuang thought to himself.
