After Danqing finished speaking, even Jiang Deng, who had always been well-received, was shocked. "Hey? Isn't this courting self-destruction?"
Who would have thought that Chu Xiuping and the others wanted to obtain the vitality mud for this reason?
Resurrect the devil?
Are they crazy?!
Dan Qing sneered, "It seems that they have been at peace for too long. They have forgotten how terrifying the extraterritorial demons are. All they think about is resurrecting the demons and copying their ideas."
Jiang Deng wondered, "Weren't you once a Demon Lord? Why do you sound so disgusted by the outer demons?"
Danqing was silent for a moment, then asked, "Jiang Deng, do you know how this Demon Realm was established?"
"Evil cultivators were ostracized by the righteous, so they simply formed their own factions and created the Demon Realm?"
"It's more than that."
Danqing began to narrate, "The First Demon Lord led his men to collect all the remains of the Heavenly Demons and seal them away. However, there were always greedy people who did not follow the First Demon Lord's instructions. They secretly kept several Heavenly Demon remains, trying to uncover the secret of why the Heavenly Demons were so powerful."
"However, although the demons' bodies were dead, their consciousness still lingered within their remains. Thus, the evil cultivators struck a bargain with the demons. By offering sacrifices to the demons, they could obtain their cultivation techniques and demonic energy. Each took what they needed."
"Over time, demonic cultivators emerged. Only those who absorbed and refined the demonic energy of the Heavenly Demons, and transformed their bodies into bodies suitable for accommodating the demonic energy, could be considered true demonic cultivators. The offspring of these demonic cultivators were born with bodies of Heavenly Demons, naturally adept at cultivating demons. Fan Wuyin was one such cultivator."
Hearing this, Jiang Deng's eyes dimmed a little.
Perhaps, she shouldn't have accepted Fan Wuyin as her disciple and tried to lead him onto the right path when she knew his physical condition. As a result... maybe Fan Wuyin was supposed to practice magic.
"In the beginning, we in the Demon Realm worshipped the Heavenly Demon simply to use him to become stronger. We had no intention of reviving him or letting him return to the Ten Realms."
"But as time went on, more and more people forgot their original intentions. They were bewitched by the Heavenly Demon and actually wanted to resurrect the Heavenly Demon and destroy the world!"
Danqing sneered, "You've been living in peace for too long, and now you want to die."
Jiang Deng collected his wandering thoughts and said bluntly, "Danqing, tell me straight away, how do we stop them? Kill them all?"
As he spoke, Jiang Deng stretched out his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Seeing Jiang Deng not backing down at all but rather showing great interest, Danqing was speechless.
Which of them is the devil cultivator?
"Well, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Just don't let them get the vitality mud."
Danqing coughed lightly and added, "The Sky Demon Ruins have been sealed for tens of thousands of years. The Sky Demon remains within have decomposed and nourished the earth, forming this Life Mud."
"With so many demon remains, I'm sure we can produce a lot of vitality mud. You only need to give me one tenth, and the rest will be yours. During this period, I will do my best to help you get the vitality mud."
Jiang Deng touched his chin and thought, "But I need the vitality mud, what's the use of it?"
Danqing pondered for a moment and said, "Although you can't use it yourself, you can use it on the golem. As long as you use the vitality mud to shape a heart for it, it will come alive. After it recognizes you as its master, you don't need to spend your energy to control it. As long as you tell it to do something, it will do it."
“…Huh? There’s this kind of operation?”
Jiang Deng really became interested.
Life-giving mud is such a good thing. Even though it may not be useful to her now, she may be able to use it in the future!
"Very good, then I'll take this vitality mud!"
Jiang Deng clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with a determined glint.
Then, she strode towards the spiritual peak where the third elder was, ready to inform Jiang Zhiling and others that she had passed the assessment.
Behind.
Shen Hui and others also walked out of the hall.
Originally, except Gan Yidao, no one cared about her, but now she suddenly became a hot commodity, surrounded by many people.
"Palace Master Shen, you will lead the team this time. Once we enter the Heavenly Demon Ruins, we will rely on you!"
"Sister Chen, since we joined the Puppet Cult in the same year, you have to give me an easier job..."
"Palace Master Shen..."
Facing the crowd's requests, Shen Hui yawned and perfunctorily said, "How can I remember all the things you said? We'll talk about it later."
"Well……"
Some people who had been in the Puppet Cult for a long time knew that Shen Hui was a stubborn person. When they saw that their requests were not met, they all left at the same time.
At this time, Liu Yi also came forward and said, "Palace Master Shen, congratulations on becoming the leader of this team."
Shen Hui waved her hand. "What's so good about being a team leader? I find it troublesome."
Liu Yi: “…”
The problem is that they can’t even become the leader if they want to!
"Uh," Liu Yi spent a lot of effort to keep the smile on his face from falling, "I want to say that since the leader trusts Palace Master Shen so much, I believe Palace Master Shen will definitely not let the leader down, right?"
Shen Hui shook her head. "It's hard to say. Who knows what will happen in the future? If I can't get the vitality mud, I will have no choice but to admit defeat."
Liu Yi: “…”
He wanted to make Shen Hui feel a sense of crisis about not being able to complete the task, and then turn around to win him over and give him power, but... why did this guy seem to not understand the subtext?
To be honest, he is not as sensible as that guest official Xiahou!
"Liu Keqing, I won't say any more. See you tomorrow morning."
While Liu Yi was stunned, Shen Hui hurriedly pulled Gan Yidao away.
Watching Shen Hui's leaving back, one person in the crowd had an expression even worse than Liu Yi's.
This person was a burly old man, dressed very luxuriously, but he had a frown on his face and looked difficult to get along with.
He is the guest official under the Second Elder, Chang Yongwei.
"Fellow Daoist Chang, what do you think the leader is thinking?"
Someone beside him said indignantly, "They're leaving you, a peak Spirit Transformation Realm expert, unused, and letting a Nascent Soul Realm brat be the leader. How unfair!"
"Who said it wasn't? How about...we go talk to the Second Elder and have him talk to the Sect Leader about changing the team leader to Fellow Daoist Chang?"
Chang Yong suggested to the people around him.
“…That’s not necessary.”
Chang Yongwei raised his hand to stop him, his eyes and brows full of coldness.
Since the leader dares to do it on the first day, don’t blame him for doing it on the fifteenth!
Anyway, everyone from the three major sects wants to get the Life-Making Mud. As long as he can get the Life-Making Mud first, he can then go to the other two major sects.
Why should we hang ourselves on the tree of the Puppet Cult?
——
The next morning.
Jiang Deng went down the mountain on time, walked through the bustling city, and prepared to go to the gathering point at the city gate.
When passing by the huge puppet demon statue in the center of the city, Jiang Deng suddenly felt something in his heart, stopped, and looked up at the face of the statue.
