"That happened about two years ago. I was working as usual. What was different that day was that there were suddenly many more demons walking around in demon form on the streets. But since I wasn't involved, I didn't take these anomalies seriously."
"Later, more and more demons appeared on the streets, transforming into their original forms. Even my half-demon friends started behaving strangely. They started eating raw meat and speaking a demon language I couldn't understand."
In the demon world, the status of ordinary half-demons is no different from that of ordinary humans.
"One night two years ago, everything changed. Flames shot up into the sky, explosions rang out, and screams and cries echoed from all directions. I don't know what demon took my roof away. I hid under my bed all night. When the area grew quiet, I went to the kitchen to get some dry food and hid under a nearby well."
"I hid at the bottom of the well for more than half a month. Only when I ran out of food and the water turned red and could no longer be drunk did I dare to crawl out."
Having said this, Li Changsheng seemed to feel a little embarrassed because of his timidity. His voice became very low, as if he didn't want the people present to hear him. He spoke very quickly, and it was obvious that he wanted to get through this place quickly.
Finally, he seemed to have hit the point. He straightened his back, quickly looked up at the girl reading, and saw that she was just frowning slightly, with no contempt for him in her eyes. Then he quickly lowered his head.
The corners of Li Changsheng's mouth curled up slightly, but when he recalled what happened later, the corners of his mouth began to droop again.
"After I climbed out of the well, the world fell into an extremely quiet state again. The people I lived near were all ordinary people like me, and what I saw were not corpses, but piles of bones and rotting flesh."
At that time, Li Changsheng suspected that he was not in the human world, but in hell.
"I think the demons have lost their minds and turned into machines that only know how to kill. Demons are born with powerful self-healing abilities, otherwise there wouldn't be so many demons left in this city."
"Oh, right. Starting a year ago, these monsters were affected by some unknown force and fell into a deep sleep. However, they would wake up when they smelled blood or heard a loud noise."
"We tried to escape the city, but when we reached the city gate, we were blocked by a force and couldn't get out. To survive, we tried our best to avoid any obvious smell of blood or any loud noise in the city."
"But during thunderstorms, the thunder in the sky is so loud that the demons will wake up. During that time, we would hide under the dug cellars, which is why we have the chance to survive until now."
"My fellow immortals, this is all I want to say." Li Changsheng said as he bent down again towards the direction of the books. While he was recounting his experiences, the people behind him remained in a kneeling position and did not dare to move.
Li Changsheng only narrated his experiences from his own perspective, but everyone still extracted a lot of useful information from his story. Combined with what happened in Tianji Pavilion, everyone's face looked unhappy.

"Okay, everyone, get up."
Nianshu saw that Li Changsheng was the leader of this group, so he reached out and helped him up. Seeing Li Changsheng stand up, the people behind him dared to move their stiff hands and feet and stand up.
"Huh? This isn't right. How come Old Red Skin isn't affected?" Xiong Qi looked at the half-human, half-snake Si Hongqi beside him and said loudly, "Although he can't transform into a human, he still has his sanity!"
"Hiss hiss hiss because hiss hiss, I hiss, away from hiss, the palace hiss, far, hiss, time hiss long hiss." Sihong Qi said.
"Because I'm far from the palace, it takes a long time." A cultivator removed the "hiss" in Si Hongqi's words and reconstructed them: "Is that so?"
Si Hongqi looked at the monk excitedly and nodded frantically.
"Well, your brain must have been affected too." Xiong Qi patted Si Hongqi's head: "You can't even speak clearly."
The monks held a brief meeting, focusing on whether to leave the demon world with this news or continue their journey into the demon world. After a heated discussion, no monk from any sect was willing to withdraw.
After inspection, everyone found that the teleportation array in the city was not completely damaged. The monks began to divide the work and cooperate. Some went to repair the array, and the other part searched for living humans in the city. After searching, they found hundreds of survivors.
Nianshu led the team and escorted the survivors out of the city. Song Xunbai's small spaceship took everyone to the edge of the transparent barrier of the demon world. There were almost no demons here, only some ordinary animals and a lot of edible wild vegetables. She chose a place with abundant water resources to put everyone down.
Among the survivors of Nianshu’s last escort was Li Changsheng. He kept his head down and remained silent all the way until Nianshu found him.
"Li Changsheng, we're here. There's no danger here. We still need to continue advancing into the demon world. Please hurry down."
"It's definitely dangerous inside the demon world. You, you must be careful." Li Changsheng said quickly and quickly approached the stairs, but finally stopped. He mustered up the courage to turn around and look directly at Nianshu and said, "Nianshu Immortal, how can I cultivate immortality?"
Transportation in this world is inconvenient, and information is even more difficult to circulate. Many people in this world will never see a cultivator in their entire lives, and they don’t know how to enter the path of cultivation.
"Li Changsheng, can you read?" Nianshu saw the determination in Li Changsheng's eyes and realized that he was not acting on a whim, so he asked.
"I know him. Old man Li once taught me." Li Changsheng's eyes were shining.
"Then take this." Nianshu took out a basic book from his storage ring and handed it to Li Changsheng: "This is the basic common sense about this world and the way of cultivating immortals. If you are predestined, you can enter the Tao."
When Nianshu helped Li Changsheng up, she had already noticed that Li Changsheng had spiritual roots, but she was not sure what kind of spiritual roots they were or what his aptitude was.
"Thank you, thank you, Bookish Immortal." Li Changsheng's voice was choked. He took the book with both hands, his eyes already red. Since the death of old man Li, he had never had the chance to touch a book again.
Watching Li Changsheng hide the book and get off the spaceship, Reading nodded at him and said, "Goodbye, Li Changsheng."
Looking at the spaceship that had turned into a black dot, Li Changsheng murmured, "Goodbye, Bookish Immortal."
In the future, apart from solving the problem of food and clothing, Li Changsheng spent the rest of his time on books. When he saw that there were sects and factions in the world of immortal cultivation, he was shocked to realize that he still didn't know what kind of cultivator he was studying in and which sect.
Of course, when he took the book from Nianshu's hand, the gears of fate had already begun to turn, and the story of Li Changsheng and Nianshu had just begun.
