This immortal was clearly ordinary, yet he was unusually confident.

"All ears."

Zheng Zhuang has always been concerned about the matter of "human-demon". Firstly, because people he has encountered, such as Qin Ming and A Xiu, have committed evil deeds to varying degrees. If he could eradicate them completely, it would be a meritorious deed. Secondly, it is because of the power of faith.

The so-called power of faith is something that can be gathered through faith. He merely set up a "Rain God" tablet in Huangniu Village, yet it was able to absorb the power of faith from the "Demon God Cult" messengers.

This is clearly illogical, because the "Demon God Cult" worships "Demon Gods," which has nothing to do with him, yet the power of their faith was automatically transferred to him.

If Zheng Zhuang hadn't been a little kid when he transmigrated, he would have suspected that he had some shady relationship with the "Demon God".

The mysterious woman paused, then slowly spoke:

"As you all know, in order to become a cultivator, besides the cultivation method, the most important thing is to have the aptitude for cultivation. However, such people are one in a thousand, and it is not different because of their status or position, even emperors and generals are no exception."

"But being exceptional individuals, how could they easily give up? Even if they cannot become cultivators, their pursuit of immortality will not be extinguished, and naturally, some will try other paths."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Besides knowing various spells, the most significant thing about cultivators is that their lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people.

Zheng Zhuang deeply agreed with this point. No one can resist the temptation of immortality. In the past, emperors sought elixirs of immortality, and later, wealthy people had their organs replaced. They all wanted to live longer.

The mysterious woman pointed to the sleeping man on the altar and said:

"There was once a Xinglun Kingdom in Cangzhou, whose national strength far surpassed that of other countries, and whose ruler was diligent in governing and loved his people, and worked hard to improve the country."

--But unfortunately, he had a hidden illness. Although he had the ambition to unify Cangzhou, he was already showing signs of dying young. He was very unwilling to accept this and tried every means to prolong his life, but to little avail.

--But one day, he went to the City God Temple by chance and saw that the temple was full of incense and had a sense of peace and tranquility. He suddenly wondered if the City God, who had been worshipped for generations, really existed. If he really existed, wouldn't he be immortal?

--An audacious thought popped into his mind uncontrollably: what if the people worshipped him instead of the City God?

He was always decisive and efficient. Upon returning to the palace, he issued an imperial edict ordering the establishment of his memorial tablet in every household, stipulating that those who sincerely worshipped him daily would be exempt from certain taxes.

--Perhaps because he was humble and loved the people like his own children, he was well-liked by the people, so although there were some obstacles, the decree was eventually successfully implemented.

--As more and more people came to worship, he gradually felt something different. Although his physical condition did not improve much, his soul became clearer and clearer, and he even had a sense of transcendence, as if his soul could live on even after his physical body died.

--By chance, he heard that there was a kind of magical medicine in a deep mountain forest that could grant immortality, but the medicine could not be preserved and could only be taken immediately after being picked. So he rushed there with his guards.

Unexpectedly, this medicine attracted a fight between two demons, a lion and a tiger. Even more bizarrely, when they arrived, the two demons actually fought to the death, and even their demon cores were shattered and scattered all over the ground.

He took the opportunity to consume the elixir, but with his weak body, he couldn't withstand its strong effects. Faced with life and death, he naturally couldn't care less and picked up the fragments of demon cores and swallowed them.

--Those fragments were left behind after the demon cores of the two demons shattered, containing rich demonic power. As soon as they entered his stomach, the violent demonic power exploded in his body, as if it would tear him apart.

Just when he thought he was about to die, a peaceful power suddenly appeared, gradually softening the violent demonic power. In this way, the peaceful power, the demonic power, and the medicinal power reached a delicate balance, and miraculously began to repair his body.

--After about half a day, he stood up laughing. His long-standing ailment was completely cured, and his body had become exceptionally strong, like a wild beast.

"You mean the power of faith can soften violent demonic energy and allow mortals to absorb it?" Zheng Zhuang asked in surprise.

This question had troubled him for a long time: why could mortals fuse with violent demonic power? It turned out to be due to the power of faith. No wonder the messengers of the "Demon God Cult" all possessed the power of faith.

The mysterious woman chuckled softly, revealing her alluring charm, and nodded, saying:

"That's right, this is a major discovery for the entire cultivation world!"

Zheng Zhuang shook his head slightly. This matter is easy to talk about, but extremely difficult to carry out. Not everyone has the conditions of "Lion Tiger King". It also requires the luck of finding a bargain.

However, the "Demon God Sect" seems to have found another way, otherwise they wouldn't have so many divine messengers. But judging from their aura, those divine messengers are much weaker than the one in front of them.

Ordinary divine messengers are only at the Qi Refining stage, similar to Elder Cai. The more powerful ones, like Night Bat, are only at the level of Chen Chui. The "Gu God" that Zheng Zhuang captured in the teapot last time probably had the cultivation of someone who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage.

As for this "Lion Tiger King", he should have strength close to the Golden Core stage.

"After fusing with demonic power, there must be some hidden dangers, right?" Zheng Zhuang asked casually.

In fact, he was testing him, because he didn't believe that it was really that simple to create a master comparable to a Golden Core cultivator.

The mysterious woman smiled and said:

"Of course there was. After that, his personality changed drastically. He was no longer as kind to the people as before and began to become violent. As he devoured more and more demon core fragments, he became more and more brutal."

--Not only that, the more demonic power he fused with, the more difficult it became for him to control himself. Sometimes he could not even maintain his human form and would uncontrollably turn into a demon. At that time, he was completely inhuman and even ate living people.

"Later on, the people stopped believing in him, and the power of their faith naturally weakened. Eventually, he went completely mad, and the Star Wheel Kingdom declined and was eventually destroyed."

Zheng Zhuang nodded, as if he had just understood something, and said:

"So, in the end, you saved him, and then you were inspired by that to establish the 'Demon God Cult'?"

"Oh? Fellow Daoist actually knows about the 'Demon God Cult'?" The mysterious woman was somewhat surprised.

"I happened to have killed a few divine messengers; I'd heard a little about it," Zheng Zhuang said casually.

The mysterious woman smiled and said, "No wonder. So you are the legendary master of the 'Divine Sword Sect'."

Zheng Zhuang paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and said:

"I am not a member of the 'Divine Sword Sect'. Thank you for clearing up my doubts, but you've been stalling for so long. Are you ready?"
