Hiss!
After Li Xuan left Zhenyu, he took a deep breath. An incomparably pure spiritual energy surged into his body.
In the next moment, Li Xuan felt the spiritual power in his dantian boiling wildly, like hot oil entering water.
"What a fulfilling feeling!"
Li Xuan opened his eyes, clenched his fist slightly, and then his gaze shifted to the immortal-grade spiritual脉 below, which had successfully evolved.
"What a treasure. Even in the Great Thousand World, this would be something countless people would fight over!" The voice of the Heavenly Dao Brush sounded in Li Xuan's mind.
Hearing this, Li Xuan's heart stirred and he said, "Little Brush, what is the Great Thousand World?"
"Ah? Young Master, did you hear wrongly? Did I mention the Great Thousand World?" The Heavenly Dao Brush, as if realizing it had let slip, immediately feigned ignorance.
Li Xuan was speechless. Seeing that the Heavenly Dao Brush was unwilling to say more, Li Xuan didn't bother to ask. Besides, the most urgent matter now was to put this immortal-grade spiritual脉 into his possession.
"Rise!" Li Xuan's mind moved, and his divine sense shot out.
In the next moment, Li Xuan's Zhenyu Ring flashed brightly. A suction force emerged and instantly drew the thousand-zhang immortal-grade spiritual脉 into Zhenyu.
Buzz.
As the immortal-grade spiritual脉 was taken away, a buzzing sound echoed from the depths of the earth. Li Xuan, completely oblivious, then moved his figure and entered Zhenyu.
On the Hunyuan Continent, the moment Li Xuan entered Zhenyu, cracks appeared in the earth. wisps of demonic energy permeated the air and instantly dissipated into the sky.
"Hmm?"
The changes on the Hunyuan Continent did not escape the notice of the Six Great Clans and Four Hidden Sects. Especially since the ten ancestors were still present, such subtle changes were keenly observed.
In the next instant, Li Baiyi and others arrived at a mountain range outside Danyang City.
Looking at the crisscrossing cracks below, the ten ancestors frowned.
"Ancestor, what is the reason for this?" Li Tieyi asked Li Baiyi, filled with confusion.
After exchanging glances, Li Baiyi and the other ten ancestors took a deep breath and said, "I never expected that we, with only a wisp of our souls remaining, would discover this problem. Judging by the appearance, the Demon Realm is about to emerge."
"The Demon Realm emerges?" Li Tieyi looked at Gu Zhengqi and the others in surprise, then his heart stirred, and his expression became solemn: "Ancestor, is it the Demon Realm that almost destroyed the Hunyuan Continent back then?!"
Li Baiyi and the ten nodded slightly and said, "Back then, our Hunyuan Continent was no match for the Demon Realm. The demon race's strength was too great. If not for our Master slaying the Demon Lord with a single sword, and even the aftermath of that sword strike annihilating the Demon Venerables and Generals, we would never have won that battle."
"If that's the case, why does the Demon Realm still exist here? Judging by the appearance, has the Demon Realm always been in the depths of our Hunyuan Continent?" Gu Zhengqi asked, somewhat confused.
Gu Tianxuan nodded and said, "Although our Master killed many powerful demons with a single sword, he did not act against those demons with low strength. And in the end, the Demon Realm is also a part of our Hunyuan Continent. Perhaps this is why Master did not exterminate them completely."
Gu Tianxuan paused and continued, "Although we eventually wiped out the demon race, we could not enter the Demon Realm. Because once one enters the Demon Realm, those with weak willpower will be demonized. And more importantly, the deeper one goes, the more one's own spiritual power will be suppressed or even regress."
Li Tieyi and the others finally understood that after countless years, the demon race was stirring again.
"We set up layers of formations back then, precisely to prevent the demons from returning. But now, the Demon Realm can break through the seal. Has a being comparable to the Demon Lord been born again? If so, the Hunyuan Continent will face another catastrophe." The ancestor of the Gong family spoke.
"The most urgent task now is to see if we can reinforce the seal and suppress the Demon Realm. Otherwise, the emergence of the Demon Realm will also be a disaster for the Hunyuan Continent," Li Baiyi said.
Gu Tianxuan and the others nodded, then moved their figures, taking the family heads of their respective clans in different directions.
Zhenyu.
"Master, with this immortal-grade spiritual脉, Zhenyu's abilities have improved a bit more," the Prison Spirit said excitedly to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan smiled and nodded. With the immortal-grade spiritual脉 and the Cangling Tower's ability to enhance spiritual power, Li Xuan believed Zhenyu would only get better.
After seeing the spiritual energy in Zhenyu fully distributed, Li Xuan contentedly went to the first level of Zhenyu and chatted with Tuoba Yan again for a while. Under Tuoba Yan's guidance, Li Xuan's understanding of realms deepened considerably.
A month later, Li Xuan left Zhenyu.
"Strange, the spiritual energy in the world seems to have changed a bit." Li Xuan appeared above the Chaos Tomb, and his brow furrowed.
Li Xuan looked around, then moved his figure and headed straight towards Danyang City.
What Li Xuan didn't know was that ten breaths after he left, a figure emitting demonic energy appeared at the spot where Li Xuan had stood.
"Fated one, I didn't expect someone like this to break the seal. If it weren't for the Demon Lord's plan, I would have truly wanted to keep you here." The demonic shadow chuckled and then transformed into demonic energy, disappearing into the depths of the Chaos Tomb.
"I have a feeling of being spied upon." Li Xuan emerged from the void, glanced back in the direction of the Chaos Tomb, then shook his head and continued towards Danyang City.
In Danyang City.
"Speak, do you have a solution? Otherwise, with the current situation, the Hunyuan Continent is in grave danger," Gu Tianxuan said, looking at everyone.
Li Baiyi shook his head and said, "After these few confrontations, the demons are fearless of death. Moreover, the demons are already assimilating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Even if they do not attack proactively, in time, the Hunyuan Continent will likely become the territory of the Demon Realm."
"Do you think the young master's appearance is a bit too coincidental? Master did not destroy the Demon Realm back then, was it specifically left for the young master to deal with?" Gong Aihua pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Young Master?" Li Baiyi and the others frowned. In the past seven years, they had been unable to contact Li Xuan. Although they knew Li Xuan was in the Chaos Tomb, all the Chaos Spiritual Markings had been given to Li Xuan. With their soul bodies, they could not penetrate deep within.
Even when the Hunyuan Continent experienced changes, they had specifically gone to the Chaos Tomb, but the spiritual energy storms then were even more powerful. Even Li Tieyi and the others, relying on the Chaos Spiritual Markings, could only descend a few hundred meters before being forced to give up.
"The young master's future achievements will be extraordinary, but for now, he only has the strength of the Breaking Mortal realm. Even after cultivating in the Chaos Tomb, reaching the advanced Breaking Mortal realm is the limit. With such strength, he is unlikely to resolve the threat of the Demon Realm," Nangong Shang said with a slight shake of his head.
"If we didn't only have more than two years left, and were still only soul bodies, we would have fought the demons again. If it really comes to it, we should escort the geniuses and the young master of each clan away. At least, this way, the lineage will be preserved."
An old man sighed slightly, then looked at everyone and said slowly.
"Regarding the Demon Realm, please explain it to me in detail." Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
In the next moment, Li Xuan's figure appeared in everyone's sight.
