A Mortal's Journey: Starting as the Young Master of Demonic Cultivation

Chapter 56 Turmoil

After figuring everything out, Wen Tianren looked at the jet-black jade slip in his hand.

Wen Tianren frowned slightly and murmured, "According to this jade slip, various places in the human realm are suppressing ancient demons. Could it be that the ancient demon ruins that Liu Dao asked me to find are the places where the Ice Soul Fairy and other cultivators from the spirit realm are suppressing ancient demons?"

The Six Extremes True Demon Art that Wen Tianren cultivates is a demonic art that has been passed down since ancient times. It is said to have been passed down when the ancient demons invaded.

Liu Dao has never given up searching for the ancient demon's remains over the years, hoping to find them with the help of Wen Tianren's demonic body and find the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Now it seems we must be cautious. If the demon being suppressed is an ancient demon like the Blood Flame of Fallen Demon Valley, then we might be able to fight it when we reach the mid-to-late Nascent Soul stage.

But if you're unlucky, even several lives wouldn't be enough to suppress a powerful figure like Yuan Sha.

The Six Extremes True Demon Art has been circulating in the Chaotic Star Sea for a long time, and Wen Tianren already had a hunch: the Demon Sealing Land in the Chaotic Star Sea is very likely to suppress something related to the Six Extremes Saint Ancestor.

However, the Ice Soul Fairy did not record the specific locations of these sealed demon lands in the jade slip, presumably because she was worried that some greedy people would release the ancient demons inside.

"This Demon-Repelling Thunder was created by an ancient demon, yet it was placed here in the Myriad Laws Pavilion by the Ice Soul Fairy."

Wen Tianren wasn't worried about not being able to cultivate. The "Six Extremes True Demon Art" that he cultivated was a technique passed down from ancient times when ancient demons invaded.

According to the jade slip, a Nascent Soul cultivator in the human realm once wielded a magic weapon made of Golden Thunder Bamboo, which was specifically designed to counter demonic cultivators, and he defeated several ancient demons in succession.

Later, they were surrounded and killed, and the magical artifact fell into the hands of a demon. The ancient demon studied it for many years and actually deduced the transformation method in reverse, refining the divine lightning that originally restrained him into demonic lightning for his own use.

Because it was located in the human realm, where materials were scarce, this lightning bolt could never be truly forged.

Since this jade slip has fallen into the hands of the Ice Soul Fairy, it is clear that the ancient demon has either been suppressed or has already perished.

According to ancient demon records, the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder was refined into the Evil-Repelling Demon Thunder using a secret method. This thunder can not only help to condense a demonic body, but also, in the future, when encountering rare treasures such as the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder that have a restraining effect on demonic arts, it can resist them. It is also very effective against ordinary demonic cultivators.

Wen Tianren marveled at this technique, never expecting that an ancient demon from the Demon Realm could create such a skill. Indeed, there are always extraordinary talents everywhere.

"This is a huge windfall. The divine sense technique that Fairy Ice Soul cultivates was obtained in the Spirit Realm, so it must be excellent."

Although Wen Tianren cultivated the Six Extremes True Demon Art, the demonic consciousness enhanced his divine sense. In addition, the Vajra Giant Scroll he obtained from the Heavenly Mirror Hermit's cave gradually accumulated a Buddhist attribute in his divine sense.

However, he had not obtained any powerful spiritual cultivation techniques. He was worried that his spiritual sense would grow slowly after entering the Nascent Soul stage, and even once planned to go to the far west of the world to find the Great Evolution Divine Lord's "Great Evolution Technique".

This trip relieved him of a worry.

After reviewing the contents of the jade slip, Wen Tianren happily put it into his storage bag, and then stepped into the teleportation array without hesitation.

After a flash of white light, his figure appeared in front of a huge building that looked like a tall tower.

This towering pagoda is incredibly large, reaching into the clouds. It is entirely constructed of emerald green boulders, with five layers, each separated by more than a hundred feet, creating a magnificent and imposing structure like a pillar reaching the heavens.

The bottommost blue stone gate is fifty or sixty feet high, truly magnificent.

The entire tower was shrouded in a pale white light curtain, and from a distance, the figures of more than ten people sitting cross-legged in front of the tower looked as small as ants.

No need to guess! This tall tower must be the inner palace of the Void Heaven Palace!

Wen Tianren's gaze swept across the area, and he saw that more than a dozen cultivators had gathered at the tower entrance. Apart from the people from the Star Palace, all the other Nascent Soul stage cultivators were present.

All seven Nascent Soul cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths have arrived. Apart from them, only Xuan Gu Shangren, Han Li, Wen Tianren, and three other late-stage Core Formation cultivators have come to this place.

Wen Tianren's arrival did not attract the attention of either the righteous or the demonic paths; only Madam Wen gave Wen Tianren a wink.

Wen Tianren understood immediately, silently walked a short distance behind her, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.

After everyone waited quietly for more than an hour, the ground suddenly shook violently!

"Boom!"

The massive door to the inner hall slowly rose, revealing a wide and deep blue stone passage that stretched as far as the eye could see.

At the same time, the teleportation array beneath everyone's feet dimmed completely, indicating that the entrance had been closed and no one could enter.

Just then, the bearded man from the demonic path suddenly opened his eyes and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, that old fox Jin Kui has done a lot of tricks before, but it seems they really won't be coming to the inner palace."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and turned to look at Wan Tianming: "Wan, let's have a match. The loser won't be allowed into the inner hall. What do you say?"

Before the other party could speak again, the bearded man suddenly leaped up, revealing his white teeth and speaking with a fanatical, belligerent expression.

Upon hearing this, Wan Tianming stood up, followed by his cold voice:

"You barbarian, do you really think this sect leader is afraid of you? Jin Kui is cunning; he might just want to see us fight first. Let's save our strength for taking the cauldron."

Ji Yin knew this was not the time to start a war, so he immediately went to Man Hu Zi's side and said, "Brother Man, it's not too late to take the cauldron first and then start the war. However, which side should take the treasure first and which side should take it later?"

Before he could finish speaking, Wan Tianming raised his hand to interrupt him, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Ji Yin, you've lived for hundreds of years, so stop putting on an act. Since it's a treasure hunt, naturally the most capable will claim it. As for this battle..." He paused, his gaze sweeping across the entire scene, "It'll have to be fought sooner or later, no rush, it's better than wasting energy now."

When Ji Yin saw Wan Tianming mocking him like this, a dark aura flashed across his face, but the other party's subsequent words immediately made him suppress his anger. He turned around and discussed the matter with Man Huzi and Qingyi Jushi via telepathy.

A moment later, the bearded man snorted coldly, his face full of ferocity: "Fine, I'll remember this battle. After we get the cauldron, I'll come back and learn from your Heavenly Net True Skill."

Wan Tianming did not respond, but walked towards the huge blue stone gate. Tian Wuzi and Mu Tengzi, who looked like an old farmer, followed closely behind. The three of them walked steadily and were the first to step into the inner hall passage.

"Hmph!" The bearded man snorted coldly when he saw Wan Tianming and the others acting so arrogantly.

Suddenly, his gaze swept across the three Core Formation cultivators and Wen Tianren in the arena, his eyes revealing a fierce glint, like a hungry wolf eyeing a lamb.

Almost simultaneously, Wen Tianren and the others noticed the unfriendly look on Man Huzi's face. Wen Tianren was not worried and remained standing in place.

The other three, their faces paling, simultaneously used their escape techniques to rush into the stone tower.

Seeing this, the bearded man let out a sinister laugh: "Did I tell you to move?"

After saying that, he rubbed his hands together and then simultaneously raised them, sending out four golden beams of light in a flash. Three of them actually struck the other beams of light before the others could reach them.

As a result, the cultivators in the escape light screamed in agony, and were then swept into the air by the golden light. Their bodies were torn apart like paper, and blood and flesh were scattered all over the ground, a horrifying sight. The air was immediately filled with a strong smell of blood.

However, another golden light appeared as it approached Wen Tianren.

"Clang!"

A clear, melodious sword cry pierced the sky, and the golden light was cut down by Lady Wen's precious sword.

"Um?"

Qingyi and Jiyin hadn't paid much attention to Manhuzi's actions, but when they saw that Madam Wen, who hadn't spoken to them along the way, had actually cut off Manhuzi's golden light and saved a Core Formation cultivator, they couldn't help but show surprise.

"Barbarian, what do you mean by this? Why did you kill someone out of nowhere!" Upon seeing this, Tianwuzi turned around and questioned him with a displeased expression.

"I'm not happy about it. What's wrong with killing a few outsiders? Do you want to seek justice for them, or do you want to try out my Heaven-Supporting Demonic Skill?" The bearded man glanced at the old Taoist priest indifferently and said coldly.

"you……"

"Enough, Brother Tianwu! These three don't seem to be from our righteous path. Let's focus on the bigger picture!" Wan Tianming stopped the old Taoist without turning his head.

Upon hearing this, Tian Wuzi could only glare resentfully at the bearded man before turning away helplessly.

Soon, the righteous people crossed the stone gate and entered the inner hall.

Then, the bearded man turned to look at Madam Wen and chuckled, "Hehe, Madam Wen, is this pretty boy perhaps your lover? He actually managed to cut off my attack. If Liu Dao knew, he probably wouldn't be happy, hahaha!"

The image Wen Tianren was currently in was that of a handsome young man.

The bearded man, who had always been dissatisfied with the Six Paths, used this opportunity to mock them.

Madam Wen remained indifferent, seemingly unconcerned by the bearded man's words, and said detachedly, "This man is a descendant of a collateral branch of my clan. Naturally, I cannot allow him to be killed by you in front of me. What, you have a problem with that?"

"Oh? I heard that Lady Wen's relatives were slaughtered by the Lan Clan's Twin Demons hundreds of years ago. I never thought there would still be descendants alive. Lady Wen should have told us earlier. When we enter the inner hall later, we hope Lady Wen will give us your help." Qingyi Jushi said at this moment.

Upon hearing Qingyi's words, Madam Wen gripped the sword tightly with her right hand, her knuckles turning white.
