After confirming the name of the demonic seed, the cultivators began to ask Elder Chu Wangtian of the Lingxiao Sword Pavilion how he had become tainted by it.
The elder from Lingxiao Sword Pavilion who had suggested that Chu Wangtian compete shook his head, indicating that he was unaware of the situation.
Just when everyone was at a loss, a voice suddenly rang out, "I remember now, Chu Wangtian seemed to have accepted a mission from the sect some time ago and went down the mountain to eliminate demons."
The cultivators looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was another elder from the Lingxiao Sword Pavilion who had spoken.
"Oh, tell me more details." Everyone's attention was drawn to the elder's words, and they wanted to know more.
“I don’t know much about the specifics, but I remember clearly that Chu Wangtian’s mission a while ago was to go to Hongxiu Village, where it was said that traces of demonic minions had appeared.” The elder paused, then continued, “Chu Wangtian did indeed wipe out a few demonic lackeys before returning to the sect to report. During this time, Chu Wangtian did not show any unusual behavior.”
"However, this is indeed the closest thing to Chu Wangtian."
Upon hearing these words, the cultivators were filled with righteous indignation.
"No need to say more, this must have been the work of those scoundrels from the demon race!"
"The appearance of the demon seed must be related to the demon race!"
"That damned demon!"
...
Shu Lan remained silent, feeling that something was amiss.
Shu Lan pondered, recalling the scene when he subdued Chu Wangtian. He remembered that the demonic energy on Chu Wangtian's body was gray, while the demonic energy on the demonic villains he had seen before was black.
This made him realize something was amiss; he had a feeling that the appearance of the demonic seed this time wasn't really related to the demon race. But since he didn't know the specifics yet, Shu Lan didn't voice his suspicions.
After this incident, the Demon Emperor Lingtian's birthday banquet was forced to be interrupted. All the cultivators resigned from their posts, wanting to return to their sects to continue investigating the cause of the demonic seed's appearance and how to resist and eliminate it.
The elders of Lingxiao Sword Pavilion expressed their deepest apologies. The elder who had challenged Chu Wangtian to a duel bowed to the Demon Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, we are very sorry that we have disturbed your birthday banquet. We hope you can forgive us."
The Demon Emperor Ling Tian waved his hand dismissively, "Don't worry, I won't blame you. After all, it was just an accident, wasn't it? Besides..." The Demon Emperor Ling Tian's eyes curved slightly, "You already made my birthday banquet quite lively, and I'm quite satisfied. It's just that the banquet ended early."
“That’s right, that’s right.” Ling Yang chimed in from the side, “This competition was really exhilarating!” Ling Yang looked like he hadn’t had enough.
"Hahaha, look, even my son is very satisfied with this banquet!" Demon Emperor Ling Tian laughed heartily.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor." The elders of Lingxiao Sword Pavilion finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, like the other cultivators, they bid farewell to the Demon Emperor Lingtian.
After returning to their sects, the cultivators all increased their vigilance, remaining on guard against any potential attacks from the demons. At the same time, they were also trying to find out the details of the demonic seed.
On the way back, Shu Lan stood in front of the spirit beast, gazing at the void ahead, her thoughts wandering.
"Master, what's wrong?" Qin An stood beside Shu Lan at this moment, looking at the pensive Shu Lan, and was a little puzzled.
Shu Lan took a deep breath. "I think this matter concerning the demon seed is not simple."
"Didn't everyone say it was the work of demonic villains? Why is Master still troubled by this?" Qin An couldn't understand it at all.
"I'm afraid everyone has gone in the wrong direction." Shu Lan silently uttered these words, then turned and walked towards where Venerable Lieyang was, sitting cross-legged among the disciples.
"Could it be... that Master means..." Not the Demon Clan? Qin An was startled by his own thought, but it seemed that his Master brother had this idea, so Qin An silently began to think about it.
If it's not a demon, then who is it? Before Qin An could figure it out, a commotion suddenly broke out ahead.
Immediately afterward, a strange phenomenon appeared on the horizon. A golden light shone down from the distant void. Moreover, it grew increasingly intense... What was happening? Everyone who saw this light pondered inwardly, could this be the legendary Immortal Realm?
Then, another golden vortex appeared on the horizon. The vortex grew larger and larger, seemingly about to devour the entire world. Then, the golden vortex suddenly plunged downwards. Finally, the entire golden vortex landed on the ground!
Immediately, a huge floating island appeared before everyone's eyes.
"That's..." Everyone's eyes widened, staring intently at the floating island.
"It's the Qiankun Secret Realm!" Some of the more knowledgeable cultivators exclaimed in surprise.
As soon as the words "Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth" were uttered, all the cultivators went crazy and rushed towards the floating island.
Seeing this, Shu Lan was very puzzled and asked Venerable Lieyang, "Senior brother, what's wrong with them? Why are they so excited as soon as they hear about the Qiankun Secret Realm? And why are they rushing over there so quickly?"
Venerable Lieyang was also very excited, his hands almost unsure of what to do. "Junior brother, it's normal that you're still young and don't know about the Qiankun Secret Realm. This Qiankun Secret Realm is the largest secret realm that has ever appeared in the cultivation world, containing countless rare and precious treasures. What's even more valuable is that all cultivators under the age of one hundred can enter, regardless of their cultivation level!"
