Fate of the Immortals and Demons

Generally speaking, the Shushan Sword Sect has been invited to the Four Demon Cities before, it all depends on the situation.

Normally, a symbolic invitation is given every one hundred to eighty years.

After all, even if you live under the same sky, you can't make the relationship too stiff. It is also beneficial to ease the relationship between each other appropriately.

It's like wolves and sheep living together on a grassland. Although they are hostile to each other, there is a certain balance of power between them.

As soon as the news came out, the whole little world was in an uproar. Everyone was excited and ready to work hard and make a fortune.

On the first day, all the major sects that received the invitation immediately began to select young talents within the sect to participate in the treasure hunt in the secret realm of Tongxian Tower of Shushan Sword Sect.

At the same time, a delegation will be immediately dispatched with a small gift to the Shushan Sword Sect to negotiate the number of personnel.

At the same time, the Shushan Sword Sect also had a disciple who was specifically responsible for this matter. He was working intensively and preparing for the treasure hunt in the secret realm of Tongxian Tower three days later.

After all, how can such a large event be successful without proper arrangements and overall planning?

However, many disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect were puzzled by this matter. Didn’t they just open the secret realm of Tongxian Tower to hunt for treasures three months ago?

How come it’s not even the end of the year yet, why is it about to start again so soon?

However, when I heard that the treasure hunt in the secret realm of Tongxian Tower would be personally led by the ancestor Ning Ranzi, all my doubts disappeared.

This is because this ancestor Ning Ranzi is an almighty being in the realm of Dao Zong.

Since he is personally in charge of the opening, is it really necessary to stick to the rules and wait until the end of the year to open it?

If it weren't for the iron rule that the Tongxian Pagoda can only be opened twice a year, I really wish that Ancestor Ning Ranzi would open it all at once next year and the year after next after the treasure hunt in this secret realm...

Of course, this is certainly impossible.

The next day, all invited representatives from various sects, large and small, totaling 55 sects, were present and all rushed to attend.

This is because everyone has received a rumor that the Shushan Sword Sect's opening of the secret treasure hunt in the Tongxian Tower is very likely to set a new record and start a secret treasure hunt that is no less powerful than the Tianxing Shattered Land.

Of course, this is not some groundless gimmick, but is based on solid evidence.

This is because the person who led the treasure hunt in the secret realm of Tongxian Tower was Senior Ning Ranzi, who was at the Dao Zong level.

The Dao Zong realm is undoubtedly the ceiling-level existence in this world, which is at the same level as the Netherworld-level supreme existence.

Because of this, these fifty-five sects, plus the Shushan Sword Sect, a total of fifty-six sects, could not hide their excitement and actively participated.

As a result, the town at the foot of the Shushan Sword Sect became extremely lively. Every inn in the town was full of guests, and business was booming.

As for the four invited demon cities, they would naturally not be absent. They were striving for excellence and sending out their young generation of demon-level geniuses to participate enthusiastically.

In this way, if we evenly distribute the quotas among each sect, the number of places allocated will be between ten and thirty according to the strength of each sect.

The Shushan Sword Sect naturally has the largest number of places, occupying a full fifty spots.

After all, as the host, we must take the lead.

All the major sects have no complaints about this and feel that it is just as it should be.

The remaining 950 places are divided among 55 sects and the four demon cities.

If the four major demon cities are invited, the number of places will be fixed at forty-four, and the four major demon cities will allocate the places themselves.

This is why on the second day, all the sects and schools participating in the treasure hunt in the secret realm gathered at the Shushan Sword Sect early, in order to allocate the places in advance.

As for bribing the Shushan Sword Sect, this has become an unwritten rule, and those who understand it will understand it.

On the third day, the treasure hunt in the secret realm of Tongxian Tower will be completely opened.

"Shut up!"

On the morning of the day when the treasure hunt in the secret realm of Tongxian Tower began, Mo Hei woke up from his breathing meditation as usual.

However, this morning, it should be the beginning of autumn, as it started to rain continuously.

If you are not lucky enough to resist the cold, you will feel a little chilly when the wind blows.

But even so, as long as Mo Hei circulated the spiritual and demonic energy in his body, it would only take a cup of tea to completely dry the wet clothes.

"This path of cultivation is very difficult! The road to Shu is difficult, harder than ascending to heaven. And this cultivation is truly more difficult than ascending to heaven, it's simply going against the will of heaven.

I’m only in the middle stage of the Qi Condensation Stage, but I still can’t break through. I really don’t know how long I have to keep practicing like this, and how long I can catch up with Die’er...”

Mo Hei couldn't help feeling discouraged and dejected. More haste makes waste, that's all!

"Ink black..."

Just as Mo Hei was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, motionless, staring blankly at the rainy sky, he suddenly heard the cries of colorful butterflies coming from behind him.

After calming himself down, Mo Hei took a deep breath, gathered his spirits, stood up, faced Caidie, and said with a forced smile:

"Die'er, why are you here so early today? The sun hasn't even risen yet."

Caidie glared at him angrily and said, "It's been raining since last night. Tell me, where did the sun come from today?"

Mo Hei smiled awkwardly, looking listless, and walked straight to Caidie, asking:

"Die'er, can you tell me how you cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Caidie blinked mischievously and said with a smile: "Then you might as well ask me how old I am this year?"

Mo Hei just asked, "How old are you, Die'er?"

The butterfly did not hide it, and Proverbs replied, "Seventeen."

"Seventeen!?"

Mo Hedun was so shocked that he opened his eyes wide, looking at the colorful butterfly with an incredible look on his face.

He couldn't help but take a step back, looking up and down in disbelief, and looked at the beautiful girl in front of him again.

He has reached the Nascent Soul stage at the age of only seventeen. This is too incredible!

Could it be that he has been practicing since he was in the womb?

But even if you have been practicing since the womb, it won’t be so fast!

I have been practicing for almost two months and have only just broken through to the Qi Condensation Stage.

Even today, he hasn't even reached the threshold of the middle stage of Qi Condensation?

If that's the case, then I'm really too useless! This is really like a toad wanting to eat swan meat!

"Pfft!"

Seeing Mo Hei's stunned and shocked look, Caidie couldn't help but smile:

"What an idiot! This is my seventeenth year of demon age. If you really count the years I've been practicing, it's almost two thousand years!"

Mo Hei woke up from his dream and cried out in surprise:

"Two thousand years? Oh my god, Die'er, you mean to say that you lived for two thousand years before you cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, right?"

"What's all the fuss about?"

Caidie looked calm and composed as she recalled:

"I still remember that I was in seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. It took me a full hundred years of seclusion before I successfully overcame the tribulation!"

"A hundred years? An average person's entire life span is only about a hundred years."

Mo Hei seemed to understand but not quite, as if he had realized something, and muttered to himself.

"Yes! A hundred years is the life of a mortal."

Caidie said with some emotion:

"So, Mo Hei, you must know that there is no age limit for cultivation. Just like the golden-haired rat you saw, she has lived for tens of thousands of years, so her demon age should be around twenty years old."

Mo Hei was unable to understand when he heard this.

"That's not right? How do you calculate your demon age? You're seventeen after two thousand years, and that little white mouse is only about twenty after ten thousand years. This... this is totally illogical."

"Illogical?"

Caidie couldn't help but laugh, but she didn't know how to explain it, so she just shook her head and said:

"This defies logic! I only have some residual Butterfly Fairy blood in me, not a complete Butterfly Demon. That Jinmao Rat, on the other hand, has pure Demon Fairy blood. Therefore, their demon ages are definitely not comparable."

Mo Hei suddenly became interested and asked:

"What about me? What about me? If I lived for more than two thousand years like you, Die'er, wouldn't I look like an old man?"

Seeing that Mo Hei was so curious, Cai Die patiently explained:

"You... that depends on you, at what age you break through. If you succeed in building your foundation before the age of thirty.

Then, from the moment you establish your foundation, your appearance will be that of a twenty-year-old, and your lifespan will increase to five hundred years.

If after a hundred years you still show no signs of a breakthrough or have not succeeded in forming the elixir.

From now on, for every hundred years you live, there will be more traces of time on your face.

If you become an old man with a white beard before you succeed in forming the elixir, then you will become an old man with a white beard.

Unless you take the Rejuvenating Pill, but that would only restore you to your uncle-like appearance."

At the end, Caidie even said jokingly:

"So, Mo Hei, you have to work hard! Otherwise, I will have to call you uncle or grandpa from now on."

"Die'er, I want to push you away while I'm still young. Otherwise, when I'm too old to walk, I'll be powerless and can only shed tears in vain."

Mo Hei was obviously serious about it. He pounced on Caidie like a hungry tiger pouncing on a sheep, determined to kill her right then and there.

Caidie naturally would not allow Mo Hei to do whatever he wanted. She dodged away with a flicker of her figure, without even a corner of her clothes being touched by Mo Hei.

And Caidie could also clearly sense that Mo Hei was definitely not joking. If she was really pounced on by him, she would definitely lose her virginity to him.

Mo Hei still didn't give up. He kept grabbing left and right. After struggling for half a day, he didn't even touch the corner of Caidie's clothes. He was so tired that he simply sat down on the ground.

"Alright, drink up! Aren't you going treasure hunting in the secret realm today? I'm waiting for you to return with a bountiful harvest!"

As Caidie spoke, she squatted gracefully in front of Mo Hei, smiled sweetly, and handed the wine glass in her hand to Mo Hei. This had obviously become her normal routine every morning.
