Hearing this, the Third Elder broke out in a cold sweat.
"Sister Xiahou... I've already given you my most precious gift. What else do you want?"
Jiang Deng smiled and said, "That's a question for you, Third Elder. Didn't you say you had something important to discuss with me? Isn't that just an excuse?"
"No, no, no," the Third Elder flatly denied. "I came here tonight because I do have something important to discuss with you, Sister Xiahou. Half an hour ago, I received a message from the Second Elder stating that all guests must meet with the Sect Leader early tomorrow morning."
Although Jiang Deng knew about this earlier than the Third Elder, she still pretended to be surprised. "Oh? As a guest official in your Puppet Cult, I have to clock in every morning?"
"……no."
The third elder twitched his lips and explained, "The leader is meeting you to arrange a trip to the Heavenly Demon Ruins next month."
"The remains of the Heavenly Demon? Tell me about it."
Jiang Deng immediately became interested.
She knew that this demon was the extraterritorial demon that had invaded the ten realms tens of thousands of years ago, and was finally driven away by the Savior God and the owner of a divine artifact.
I didn’t expect that there were still relics left by the demons in the Hun Tian Demon Realm?
"In the eyes of those of us who live in the Hun Tian Demon Realm, the Heavenly Demon Ruins are a well-deserved holy place."
The Third Elder explained, "Originally, in ancient times, our entire Hun Tian Demon Realm was the burial ground of the Heavenly Demons. To prevent the leakage of demonic energy, the First Demon Lord sealed all the Heavenly Demon bones together, and this place became known as the Heavenly Demon Ruins."
"After tens of thousands of years of being nourished by the purest demonic energy of the celestial demons themselves, countless rare and precious treasures have been born within the ruins, including many precious magical artifacts left behind by the celestial demons themselves."
"The seal of the ruins was set by the first generation of Demon Lord and his group of powerful demon cultivators. No one could enter without permission. However, as time went on, some people discovered that the demonic energy within the ruins was increasing instead of decreasing. Whenever the demonic energy inside the ruins accumulated and merged with the spiritual energy outside, the seal would loosen."
"At that time, the seal of the ruins will crack, and any cultivator below the Return to Void Realm will be able to enter the ruins through the passage. The next time the spirits and demons will meet will be in a month. The evil cultivators and demon cultivators in the Demon Realm have received the news and are waiting for an opportunity to act."
Have a lot of treasures?
Jiang Deng touched his chin, and he really felt a little interested. "Can anyone go to the Demon Ruins?"
If she could enter the ruins, she would also like to try her luck.
She didn't mind that the thing inside was originally a demon from outside the domain, as long as it was useful to her.
"That's not the case."
The Third Elder shook his head. "Only cultivators with a high affinity for demonic energy can enter. Otherwise, before they even pass through the passage and enter the ruins, they will be transformed by the pure demonic energy, losing all reason and eventually going insane and dying."
Tsk.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Deng gave up hope.
After all, she is a righteous cultivator, how could she be so close to demonic energy? It seems that entering the Heavenly Demon Ruins is hopeless...
Jiang Deng tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingertips and looked up at the Third Elder. "So, the leader wants to meet us guests tomorrow. Does that mean he wants us to go to the Heavenly Demon Ruins? Are you going?"
The Third Elder chuckled, "I'm not very talented. I went there once three hundred years ago and nearly died in the ruins. I won't go and embarrass myself this time."
Jiang Deng smiled faintly and said nothing.
In her opinion, the reason why the Third Elder did not go this time was probably because the Demon Ruins were really dangerous, and the Third Elder was afraid of death and did not want to go and die.
However, danger and opportunity coexist, and if she can get in, she would like to give it a try.
Obviously, this couldn't be said to the Third Elder. Jiang Deng sighed softly and said pretentiously, "My strength hasn't recovered yet. Since the Heavenly Demon Ruins are so dangerous, let it go."
“No, no, no!”
The Third Elder quickly spoke up, "Before selecting candidates to enter the ruins, the leader will screen them. Only those with a high affinity for demonic energy will be allowed to go. You don't have to worry."
"Furthermore, someone as sinister and cunning as you, Sister Xiahou, is truly the most suitable person to be a demon cultivator. You will definitely pass the leader's assessment!"
Jiang Deng: “…”
That's not a nice thing to say.
Waving his hands, Jiang Deng said impatiently: "Alright, I understand. I will go to the leader's residence on time tomorrow morning. You can go now."
"Okay, okay, then Sister Xiahou, you should go to bed early."
The third elder left the room obediently, and did not forget to close the door before doing so, looking like a lackey.
"Jiang Deng..."
At this moment, Danqing's voice, hesitant to speak, rang out from within the Eight Gates World. "If you really decide to go to the Heavenly Demon Ruins, please help me get something."
"What?"
"Life Mud."
Jiang Deng frowned, "Huh? What is this thing?" Why had she never heard of it in her previous life?
Danqing explained, "This is a divine treasure, born from the fall and dissolution of extraterritorial demons. It's a rare find. It has the power to reshape spirits, and even because of the rich vitality it contains, even a tiny bit can revive dead things."
"I can only exist like a walking corpse now. After dying once, my body lacks vitality. If I have the vitality mud to help me, I will definitely be able to recover as before and leave your little world."
Jiang Deng was not overwhelmed by Danqing's words, but asked cautiously: "According to what you said, if such a thing is so precious, the place where it is must be full of dangers?"
"That's right," Dan Qing admitted without any deception. "I know you want to kill Fan Wuyin. As long as you can help me obtain the vitality mud and help me revive earlier, I will definitely lend you a hand."
Jiang Deng asked back, "I want to kill you, don't you want to kill him?"
Danqing: “…”
Naturally, she also wanted to kill Fan Wuyin and regain her lost position as the Demon Lord and the divine weapon!
After a moment of silence, Danqing asked sincerely, "What do you want? Even if you ask me to ascend to the upper realm and kill immortals, I will agree!"
"Um……"
Jiang Deng pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "I haven't thought about it yet. You can owe me for now."
"……good."
Danqing had a vague feeling that Jiang Deng would ask for a huge amount of money in the future, but after all, she was relying on Jiang Deng to go to the Demon Realm to get the Life Mud. No matter how harsh Jiang Deng's request was, she had no choice but to agree.
Squeak——
Just as Jiang Deng finished talking with Danqing, the door was pushed open from the outside and Jiang Zhiling and Shi Tongling rushed in.
"Boss, did that old Third Elder find anything wrong?"
"Sister, how is mother, mother?"
Jiang Zhiling looked at Jiang Deng with half anticipation and half worry, fearing that her hopes would be dashed.
