He Changsheng's face remained calm as he silently thought, "Although the crisis in this simulation is still several years away, if I want to break through according to my own ideas, I have to plan ahead. I can't say I have to prepare for a rainy day, but at the very least I have to seize the initiative so that things don't get out of my control again."

Although it sounds simple, in reality, it is far from as easy as imagined.

Whether the solution he had in mind would work or not still needed to be verified in simulation.

There’s not much to think about, just one simulation will make everything clear.

[This simulation consumed 2850 points of spiritual power... Current remaining spiritual power:.]

[…You were escorted out of the Demon Abyss by the old demon. You chose to rob and kill passing demons at the entrance to the Lion Camel Blessed Land, cultivating in seclusion while gathering resources for cultivation.]

[A few months later, Yun Fei came looking for you. You learned that he had already practiced the Ninth-Rank Demon Transformation Technique taught by the old demon. You warned him that if he continued to practice this technique, he would inevitably lose himself.]

Yun Fei was immediately disappointed upon hearing this. You took the opportunity to point out that the Ninth Rank Demon Transformation Technique has far-reaching dangers and that it would be best to reverse the practice and thwart the old demon's plot. However, you must not let the old demon detect the flaw, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.

At the age of twenty, you haven't seen Yun Fei for two years. You have a bad feeling, fearing that Yun Fei may have met with an accident, or that he has not been able to change his original trajectory, so you prepare to leave the Lion Camel Blessed Land.

[During this period, you refined spirit wine, but the effect was minimal. However, your cultivation was quite effective, and your cultivation resources were also running low.]

Just as you were about to leave, Yun Fei suddenly appeared. You were startled and put on high alert. Only after you were sure that Yun Fei was conscious did you finally breathe a sigh of relief.

[You asked Yun Fei about his two-year disappearance. He explained that the old demon had been trying to dissipate his power and retrain him in the Ninth-Rank Demon Transformation Technique. He saw that the old demon was already showing some success. If nothing unexpected happened, it wouldn't be long before he finally fell victim to the test.]

Yun Fei claimed that he had finally managed to trick the old demon, and took the opportunity to leave the Demon Abyss, seeking the item that would reverse his cultivation.

Yun Fei suggested that you leave the Lion Camel Blessed Land right now, which coincidentally agreed with your opinion. So you left immediately, easily dealing with the guards outside before leaving.

He Changsheng said thoughtfully, "That's how it should be... The old demon can't leave the Demon Abyss. From now on, the sky is high and the bird can fly freely. The worst that can happen is that I won't set foot in the Lion Camel Blessed Land again. The old demon will definitely not be able to break free from the constraints of the Demon Abyss, otherwise how could I have been trapped for so long."

What was different from what he had originally imagined was that Yun Fei also left with him this time. The Heavenly Demon Palace was watching him covetously, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

But he couldn't just reject Yun Fei's proposal outright, right?

You were very cautious on your way out, and Yun Fei suddenly suggested to you that wandering aimlessly like this wasn't a good idea. He had heard an old demon mention that within the demon territory, there was a demon sacred site, once occupied by a great demon saint from ancient times, and it had been ownerless ever since.

Under Yun Fei's guidance, you vaguely sense something is amiss. You realize you've clearly reached the Blood Demon Army's territory. Yun Fei explains that the Demon Clan's sacred land is not far away.

After learning of your concerns, Yun Fei stated that the most dangerous place is also the safest place. Although the Blood Demon Army is difficult to deal with, only a few people like Lan Yan pose a threat to you.

Two years ago, Lan Yan already had the strength of Return to Void Stage, and now he has grown into an existence that even the Heavenly Demon Palace fears.

Even if you tell him that Lan Yan's cultivation has reached the Mahayana stage, He Changsheng will not be surprised.

After all, it is a quick fix, so it is most reasonable to go against common sense.

Although it sounds contradictory, it is the truth.

[You hadn't gotten very far when you were suddenly attacked by the Blood Demon. Before you could make a move, Yun Fei suddenly moved. Under your shocked gaze, the Blood Demon's body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.]

[At the same time, Yun Fei also broke through a small realm. You asked solemnly why, but Yun Fei was also confused. He claimed that the moment he saw the Blood Demon, the Reversal Ninth Rank Demon Transformation Art in his body began to operate automatically.]

Reversing the Ninth Grade Demon Transformation Technique, could it be so magical?

Is this a pleasant surprise?

No... things may not be as simple as they seem. At least at this moment, He Changsheng felt a little suspicious, or to be more precise, he had a bad premonition.

[Along the way, Yun Fei overcame all obstacles, making countless blood demons tremble in fear. In just a few days, his cultivation level reached the strength of the late Yuanying stage from the Jindan stage.]

Your actions quickly alarmed the Blood Demon Army's higher-ups, and a Blood Demon in the late Spiritual Transformation stage followed. With your assistance, Yun Fei successfully devoured his entire Qi and blood, breaking through to the Spiritual Transformation stage in one fell swoop.

[Over the past few months, Yun Fei's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. The reputation you have created has made everyone in the Blood Demon Army feel insecure, forcing Lan Yan to end his retreat early and come personally to deal with you.]

[You had anticipated this, and through your design, you successfully lured Lan Yan into your trap.]

Taking advantage of Lan Yan's unpreparedness, Yun Fei fully activated the Ninth Rank Demon Transformation Technique. Soon, Lan Yan's Qi and blood were completely drained by Yun Fei. Yun Fei then naturally broke through to the Return to Void Stage. Just as you relaxed, Yun Fei suddenly gave you a sinister smile and launched an attack against you without warning, restraining your body.

You were silent for a moment, then asked Yun Fei why. Yun Fei sneered, suddenly transforming into a lion-headed human. With a sinister smile, he said, "Look carefully, who is your good disciple? He is the Great Sage of the Demon Clan. How dare you, so ignorant as to thwart his grand plan? I spared your life, but not only did you not cherish it, you even dared to use dishonorable means to plot against him behind his back." With that, Yun Fei devoured all your energy and blood.

Damn! This Lao Liu!

He Changsheng was completely stunned. This result was something he had never expected.

He thought that Yun Fei was always pretending to be him, and he also thought that Yun Fei's character had changed for some reason, but he never thought about it in this direction.

My goodness, this old monster is so scheming.

From the moment Lan Yan obtained the demon bone, a big game was being played. Even if Lan Yan refined the demon bone and reached the Return to Void Stage, he would only be a stepping stone.

This is actually just like raising sheep, and then killing them after they are fattened up.

He Changsheng suddenly had an idea. This old monster had taken over his disciple's body... and his strength would no longer be what it used to be. After replacing Yun Fei, he would at most only possess the body of the Nascent Soul stage, and the cultivation level of the Golden Core stage, which he had to practice for two years to break through.
