Even hybrid monsters have their day

These things, these experiences, just telling others about them can make people envious and jealous for a lifetime.

For the first time, he felt that making a contract with Geng Miaowan was a worthwhile thing.

Geng Miaowan was also startled by Luan Hao's background, but since her soul was human, she thought his status was similar to that of an emperor in human society.

So although she was surprised, she didn't show it too obviously. Anyway, she felt that even if he was an emperor, he could only be considered a fallen emperor, otherwise why would he need to reside in her body to escape the guardian's pursuit?

Huangfu Aoran ignored the two's somewhat distorted inner thoughts, glanced at Luan Hao, and asked, "I remember that after the Three Realms War a thousand years ago, human cultivators and immortals joined forces to seal the gates to the Demon Realm and the Monster Realm. Destroying so many sects must have required a lot of demon soldiers, right? How did they manage to break through the seal?"

"They didn't come to the human realm through a seal." Luan Hao's voice rang out calmly, as if he were talking about something unrelated to himself. But the expression on his face was clearly not as relaxed as he appeared.

"Where did they come from?"

"They come from the human world."

"What?" Huangfu Aoran's figure twitched slightly. His tone became somewhat urgent at this seemingly impossible reason. "This is completely impossible. Demons fear immortal energy the most, and the human realm is the place with the most abundant immortal energy besides the realms of gods and immortals. How could a large number of demon soldiers be cultivated here?"

“Why not? There’s a demon on Mount Buzhou, and I’ve heard it’s quite powerful,” Xu Ruwen immediately retorted.

The group simultaneously recalled the sand crawler demon and its words. Although somewhat confused, it wasn't hard to discern from its tone that the culprit behind its actions was the demon on Mount Buzhou.

However, what remains utterly perplexing is how that thing cultivated itself into a demon on Mount Buzhou, a place shrouded in celestial energy.

It seemed that everyone had thought of the same question, and their expressions all became serious. Especially Luan Hao, when Xu Ruwen mentioned the demons on Mount Buzhou, his body visibly stiffened, as if he had heard something he was extremely unwilling to believe.

Huangfu Aoran pondered for a moment. He muttered to himself, "The appearance of a demon on Mount Buzhou means that the immortal root has been disturbed. But what in this world could disturb the immortal root? Could it be the Three Realms War a thousand years ago?" He quickly dismissed this guess, "That's not right either. The Three Realms War took place on the shores of the North Sea, which is far from Mount Buzhou. It shouldn't have affected Mount Buzhou."

He sighed deeply at the end.

Geng Miaowan glanced at the silent Luan Hao and the thoughtful Huangfu Aoran, then leaned close to Xu Ruwen and whispered, "Do you know what the Three Realms War is?"

She kept hearing them talk about the three realms in chaos, which made her really curious.

"You didn't know?" Xu Ruwen looked at Geng Miaowan, seemingly accusing her of not even knowing about the Three Realms War. He didn't want to be surprised anymore, because he had already been surprised enough today.

Geng Miaowan honestly shook her head.

He looked at her with pity and said, "Speaking of the war between the three realms, it should be something that anyone who is not human knows, and it is also rumored among some cultivators among humans."

"The point is..." Sensing the obvious sarcasm in his words, Geng Miaowan raised her hand to strike his head, but he skillfully dodged it.

Xu Ruwen shifted his position, adjusting to a comfortable posture, and boasted, "As the name suggests, the Three Realms War is a battle that takes place between three different realms."

"That's the important part!" she said through gritted teeth.

Seeing that her patience seemed to be running out, Xu Ruwen quickly cleared his throat and said, "Legend has it that a thousand years ago, the Demon King's ambitions were not as grand as they are now. He only wanted to unify the human and demon realms. However, at that time, the cultivation world in the human realm was at its peak. Experts in the Mahayana stage and even the Tribulation Transcending stage were as common as cabbages in a market. How easy was it for the Demon King to unify the human realm?"

"Important point!" Geng Miaowan didn't even want to describe how she felt after listening to so much nonsense.

“Young people should be patient,” Xu Ruwen said, patting her shoulder reassuringly. Seeing the sharp glare she gave him, he chuckled dryly, “Here comes the important part.”

He cleared his throat and continued, "Back then, the gates between the demon realm and the monster realm had not yet been sealed. The leaders of both realms would often go to the human realm to do things they wanted to do. Over time, the two of them got together."

Geng Miaowan mentally imagined what flirting meant, then looked at Xu Ruwen to signal him to continue.

"Back then, the leader of the Demon Realm wasn't as ambitious as the one now. He had no interest in ruling over any of the realms. He only wanted to stay with his beloved and grow old together."

"The one you've got in mind?" Geng Miaowan became interested; every woman has a gossipy nature.

"Yes, the Demon King's sweetheart is an ordinary human. According to legend, the Demon King would do anything for her, even go through fire and water, and would give her the moon if she asked for the stars."

Geng Miaowan couldn't help but interrupt him, "Can you use a better adjective?" What was originally a beautiful love story between a human and a demon had become distorted in his mouth.

"The adjectives aren't the key. The key is that the human died, and the demon king was heartbroken and devastated. Just then, the demon king arrived and told him that the human cultivators killed her because they were unhappy that the girl was in love with a demon." Xu Ruwen paused here, and only continued when he saw Geng Miaowan's urging gaze.

"Thus, the demon leader, enraged for the sake of a woman, led his demon army straight to the stronghold of human cultivators, resulting in a stalemate between the two sides, while the demon leader reaped the benefits."

"What about the end?"

"In the end, the underworld and the celestial realm were alarmed, and both realms sent troops to help humanity, resulting in victory. Because the demon realm instigated the war, the demons were the enforcers, and the human realm was the one that was attacked, it was later known as the Three Realms War." (To be continued.)
