"This is it."

Chen Wang came to a lake. There was a small island in the center of the lake with a flag on it.

Chen Wang went forward to check and found that the flag was actually a map.

“Is this a map of this place?”

Chen Wang asked suspiciously.

By matching the places he had passed in the past few days with the locations on the map, he immediately confirmed that this was indeed the map of this place.

He immediately wanted to take the map off and put it into the storage ring.

But the moment he touched the map, the water in the entire lake began to surge wildly.

Three water pythons formed from lake water surrounded the small island in the middle of the lake, staring at Chen Wang intently.

Chen Wang frowned and swung out with one palm. Immediately, three palms that were even bigger than the water pythons appeared above his head and grabbed the three water pythons tightly.

The water pythons struggled desperately, but Chen Wang's condensed palms pinched them tightly. Even though they kept attacking his palms, there was no fluctuation at all.

"I didn't expect that there would be a demon beast in the Yuanshen realm here."

Chen Wang looked at the three water pythons with great interest. He could sense that these three water pythons were clones controlled by a demon beast in the Yuanshen realm.

And the monster's true form is in...

"here!"

Chen Wang slashed the lake with the Qingping Sword, and the lake was immediately split into two, forming two water walls.

The water wall was maintained by Chen Wang's spiritual power, and Chen Wang jumped directly to the bottom of the lake, looking at the human-shaped statue that was revealed when he split the lake water.

"Don't pretend, I know it's you."

As soon as the words fell, the statue's closed eyes opened immediately and stared at Chen Wang.

"That flag cannot be taken down."

A powerful voice emanated from the monster's mouth, and the pressure of the ninth level of the Soul Realm was immediately released.

Chen Wang looked at the humanoid monster in front of him and did not take action directly. Instead, he asked,

“Why can’t I pick it?”

He knew that the flag must have some special purpose, but he didn't understand why he couldn't take it down...

Wait a minute!

"That flag is the center of the formation?"

Before the monster could answer, Chen Wang blurted out what he was thinking.

After hearing what Chen Wang said, the monster nodded immediately.

"right."

"If you remove the eye of the formation, the demon sealed here will awaken soon, and neither you nor I will be able to escape."

Chen Wang found the key point from the monster's words and immediately asked,

"The demon sealed here?"

"Back then, the master was already a powerful cultivator at the eighth level of the Dharma Realm."

The monster spoke slowly, as if these were no secrets to it.

"After a war with demons, the master arrived here with a severely injured body."

"He set up a formation here to seal away all the demonic resentment he had accumulated over the years of slaying demons."

Chen Wang was stunned when he heard this, and then asked,

"Demon resentment?"

"As long as the demons are killed, it will accumulate?"

You know, he has killed many monsters. If he would feel resentment as the monster said, then he finally understood why the resentment of his predecessor had continued to grow over the years.

"Demons are special creatures. They are bloodthirsty by nature and will slaughter any creature weaker than themselves."

"After the demons die, their souls are unwilling to dissipate, so they will leave a trace of resentment on the people who killed them."

"And the stronger the dead demon, the stronger the resentment it engenders."

"But these grievances are nothing to a cultivator."

"Even if the resentment is too strong, the monks can eliminate it themselves."

"but."

The monster paused here, and then continued,

"But the master was quite special back then."

"He killed too many powerful demons on the battlefield that year, and he simply didn't have time to eliminate them."

"That alone is nothing. In an accident, the master mistakenly entered a formation."

"The formation seemed to have some kind of induction, and it activated the moment the master entered, activating the demonic resentment gathered within the master."

"The resentment left behind by the countless demons slain by the master instantly erupted and began to condense into a brand new demon."

"Although the master finally managed to escape the formation, he was also severely injured."

"Under the Master's strenuous efforts to suppress them, the demonic resentment finally stopped gathering, but the Master knew that this was not a solution."

"So the master came here and set up a formation to strip away all the accumulated demonic resentment from him, intending to suppress it here and eradicate it when the master recovers."

"But the master underestimated the power of these resentments. The master originally wanted to disperse them across the eight directions of heaven and earth."

"But those resentments actually formed connections between each other and began to converge!"

"In the end, the master had no choice but to abandon his body and use his own spirit to suppress the resentment, and only then was he able to subdue them."

The monster said this and said no more.

Chen Wang also nodded, and then asked,

"Since these resentments didn't eventually coalesce into new demons, then what was that thing I encountered when I came here?"

The monster paused, and then said,

"I don't know when those resentments finally coalesced, but I don't know exactly what happened."

"In short, the flag cannot be touched, otherwise the demon that has condensed into a form will break out of the seal."

"At that time, all the master's efforts will return to dust."
