A moment later, Qin Yao opened her eyes, her eyes sparkling with surprise. "This feeling is amazing. I have never felt such a powerful force before."

"Would you like to learn this rune array?" Chu Wanwan asked with a smile.

"Of course I want to learn it! What kind of technique is this? I've never seen it before, it's amazing!" Qin Yao asked in surprise.

"This is called the Demon Gathering Array. This array can immobilize demons and beasts of lower level than oneself, absorb their demonic energy, and then inject their life force to transform it into spiritual power for one's own use!"

Chu Wanwan explained.

"So my descendants are really that amazing!" Qin Yao gave Chu Wanwan a thumbs up.

"It's not that I'm amazing, you were the one who originally came up with this thing, I just let you use it ahead of time! Even without me teaching you this method, you could have figured it out yourself!" Chu Wanwan said truthfully.

"Haha... I'm this amazing!" Qin Yao's eyes were full of pride and anticipation. She looked at Chu Wanwan and said impatiently, "Then quickly teach me how to cast this Demon Gathering Array."

Chu Wanwan nodded slightly and began to explain the principles and methods of using the Demon Gathering Array to Qin Yao in detail. "The key to this Demon Gathering Array lies in the precise control of drawing the runes and injecting spiritual power. First, you need to silently recite the incantation in your mind, concentrate your mental energy, and then draw the runes in a specific order..."

Qin Yao listened intently, afraid of missing a single detail. As Chu Wanwan explained, she seemed to see a whole new world, full of magical power and infinite possibilities.

After explaining, Chu Wanwan personally demonstrated the casting process of the Demon Gathering Array once again.

She moved her hands, and runes flashed in the air, instantly forming a powerful array. Qin Yao was dumbfounded, and her admiration for Chu Wanwan grew even stronger.

"Now you try," Chu Wanwan encouraged.

Qin Yao took a deep breath and, following Chu Wanwan's instructions, began to try drawing the Demon Gathering Array. At first, her movements were a little clumsy, but under Chu Wanwan's patient guidance, she gradually became more skilled.

After several attempts, Qin Yao finally succeeded in casting the Demon Gathering Array. Although its power was not as great as Chu Wanwan's, it still made her extremely excited.

"Great! I did it!" Qin Yao cheered.

Chu Wanwan smiled at Qin Yao and said, "As expected of me, your talent is truly extraordinary. You learned it in just a short while! With more practice in the future, this Demon Gathering Array will definitely become a powerful weapon for you to fight against the demons."

"Haha! In the future, how come you're just as narcissistic as me?" Qin Yao said with a hint of mockery.

"You still know you're narcissistic!" Chu Wanwan rolled her eyes.

"whee……"

"Let's talk about the demon race! Have demons always existed in the human world?"

Chu Wanwan asked curiously.

"No! Humans are very weak. If they encountered that group of demonic beasts just now, one of them could destroy an entire village!" Qin Yao said seriously when she mentioned the demons.

"It seems that because of the existence of Dragon Wine, the Demon Race has no way to deal with the God Race, so they can only descend to the mortal realm to create disasters among the human race and accumulate their own strength! I just wonder what level the Demon Race sent down?"

Chu Wanwan frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "If the demons only send low-level demonic beasts, they'll be easy to deal with. But I'm afraid there might be powerful figures hiding among them."

"Dragon Wine? Who's that?" Qin Yao asked curiously. She admired strong people the most! That person sounded very powerful!

"Your future man!" Chu Wanwan said with a smile.

"Huh?" Qin Yao's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. "My man? How could I possibly have a man? I've lived for thousands of years and have never been moved by anyone, so where would a man come from?"

Seeing Qin Yao's surprised expression, Chu Wanwan smiled and said, "It's hard to say what fate is."

As the two were talking, a group of people suddenly ran out of the village: "Witch, please save us!"

Chu Wanwan and Qin Yao looked over and saw several people covered in wounds stumbling towards them. Qin Yao quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "What happened? Why are you so panicked?"

One of them, panting heavily, said, "My lady, our village has been attacked by a group of monsters, and many people are injured. Please, please go and save them!"

Qin Yao frowned and turned to look at Chu Wanwan. Chu Wanwan nodded and said, "Let's go take a look."

The two quickly followed the crowd to the attacked village.

The scene before me was like a living hell, utterly horrific. The dilapidated houses lay scattered and crooked, as if ravaged by the giant hand of a demon. Villagers fled in panic, their cries and pleas for help mingling together in a heartbreaking spectacle.

The monsters rampaged through the village like a pack of crazed killing machines.

They had gaping, blood-red mouths, with bits of flesh and blood still clinging to their sharp fangs.

The ground was littered with severed limbs, some severed hands still tightly gripping farm tools, as if making a futile resistance in the last moments of their lives.

Crimson blood pooled into shocking shallow streams, staining vast swathes of land red.

Broken limbs were scattered everywhere, some heads were half bitten off by monsters, exposing pale bones and bright red muscles, and the empty eyes seemed to still hold the fear of dying.

The stench of blood was so strong it was nauseating, as if the whole world was shrouded in the shadow of death.

Looking at the horrific scene before her, Qin Yao felt an overwhelming surge of anger and pity. She took a deep breath, quickly calmed herself, and decided to use the Demon Gathering Array she had just learned to fight against these ferocious demonic beasts.

Qin Yao moved her hands and silently chanted incantations, her mental energy highly concentrated.

As she moved, runes slowly appeared in the air, shimmering with a mysterious light.

As the Demon Gathering Array gradually took shape, the rampaging demonic beasts seemed to sense the threat and stopped their attacks, looking at Qin Yao warily.

Qin Yao's eyes were resolute. With a sudden wave of her hand, the Demon Gathering Array floated in mid-air, enveloping all the surrounding demonic beasts beneath it. The demonic beasts began to struggle, trying to break free from the array's restraints, but the power of the Demon Gathering Array was too great; they simply could not escape.

Qin Yao continuously infused life force, making the light within the formation increasingly dazzling. The demonic energy within the magical beasts was gradually extracted, weakening their power. As the demonic energy diminished, the magical beasts became extremely weak, eventually collapsing to the ground, unable to rise again.

Qin Yao didn't relax at all, continuing to control the Demon Gathering Array, converting the extracted demonic energy into pure spiritual power.

Guided by Qin Yao, this spiritual energy slowly flowed into her body. Qin Yao could clearly feel the spiritual energy within her steadily increasing, and she was about to step into the threshold of the Ascension Realm...
