"A living demon god?"
Xiang Sheng immediately thought of the demon god who had become the spirit of the weapon in the weapon refining hall. However, every time she thought of that fawning face, she could not connect it with the word "peak".
She shook her head slightly, forcibly clearing that face from her mind, and asked, "Then how do these things relate to Brother Wang?"
"I let him into the Demon God Valley."
The old demon king's voice was slightly hoarse, "That is an ancient heritage site of my demon clan. In ancient times, it was used as a coming-of-age ceremony for the clan's children.
But times have changed, and the Demon King Valley is no longer what it used to be. The inheritance test in the Demon God Valley is too difficult for the tribesmen in the valley. Only the royal family can enter and barely have a chance of passing.
Xiang Sheng nodded slightly, "Brother Wang is a member of the royal family?"
"Of course he is."
The old demon king sighed: "He is not only a royal family, but also has awakened a trace of ancient blood. The danger of entering the Demon God Valley to receive inheritance is smaller than that of anyone else.
But because of his childhood experiences, he loathes his own existence and even refuses to admit he's a demon. So... I put pressure on him, and a hundred years ago, I forced him into the Demon God Valley under the pretext of helping you heal your wounds."
Xiang Sheng's heart sank. Wang Tuo's entry into the Demon God Valley was actually related to her?
"And then?"
"Later, Taku, he went crazy."
The old demon king's eyes revealed a deep bitterness. "There's a flaw in his heart. After accepting the inheritance from the Demon King Valley, his mind has become even more unstable. This flaw could have been erased with time, but... Tianqing Pavilion suddenly jumped out."
The old demon king was furious. "If it weren't for the Tianqing Pavilion, Tuo'er wouldn't have been so heartbroken that he would have gone mad and escaped from the secret realm and been captured by the Tianqing Pavilion!"
The old demon king's eyes were moist and his hunched body trembled slightly.
When he talked about this, he would think of the pain and madness of his grandson. He was his only descendant. How could he not feel heartbroken?
Xiang Sheng fell silent, feeling powerless again.
She is much stronger than before her reincarnation, but since the death of the leader of the Puppet Sect, no one knows who is controlling the Tianqing Pavilion behind the scenes.
Faced with a mysterious force with tens of thousands of years of history, she could do nothing and didn't even know where to go to rescue Wang Tuo.
"I probably know where Wang Tuo will be."
The old demon king took a deep breath, his eyes regained clarity, and he smiled slightly, saying, "I owe my grandson too much, and it's time to repay him. When the time comes, please do me another favor, young lady."
The old demon king didn't say what it was specifically, and Xiang Sheng didn't ask, but just nodded slightly.
She had already heard the old demon king's determination to die.
He suddenly gave her 70% of the secret key just now. I'm afraid it's not just for breaking through the spatial barrier of Fangcunji, but more... for arranging his funeral, right?
This old monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years, once he makes a decision, no one can change it.
Xiang Sheng tried to dissipate the heavy atmosphere between the two of them, smiled, and changed the subject:
"Senior, you just mentioned that you are both a demon god and a Mahayana cultivator. It's not hard to see why the cultivation civilization flourished in ancient times, but is now so declining? Is it related to the catastrophe of the Puppet Sect?"
Whether it was a demon god or a Mahayana cultivator, they were all too powerful for the current world of cultivation. They were so powerful that Xiang Sheng had only seen a rough description of them in the miscellaneous biographies of Wanjianmen.
You should know that the most powerful person in the entire cultivation world today is the leader of Fengyue Sect, Jiang Daoyuan.
This person's cultivation level is only at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage. Even if there are ancestors hidden in the Fengyue Sect, they can only be at a higher level at most, reaching the Out-of-Body Stage.
Between the Out-of-Body Stage and the Mahayana Stage, there are three major realms: transformation of spirit, fusion, and transcendence of tribulation.
A cultivator in the out-of-body stage is like an ant in front of a cultivator in the Mahayana stage and can be easily crushed to death.
The old demon king was clear-minded. Upon hearing this, he immediately suppressed the emotion in his eyes and smiled lightly, "It seems you know a lot. I will tell you a little bit."
However, I cannot discuss this matter in detail. Even though I know what is going on, I dare not say a word. Otherwise, even if I stay in this secret realm, I will suffer heavenly punishment!
Xiang Sheng was shocked.
Heavenly punishment is not a calamity. A calamity is a test. Although a test may be life-threatening, if one can pass it, the rewards from Heaven are also bountiful.
Heavenly punishment is completely different!
The punishment from heaven proves that the person being punished has committed an unforgivable sin. The original intention of heaven's punishment is to kill the sinner! As long as the sinner does not die, the heavenly punishment will never end.
But the old demon king now says that anyone who mentions anything related to that catastrophe will be punished by heaven immediately. What did the leader of the Puppet Sect do back then to make heaven so angry?
"You should have met Jiang Yi before."
The old demon king continued, "In ancient times, he was the renowned Lord of Echo Valley, a Mahayana cultivator, and a close friend of the Puppet Sect's leader. He knows far more than I do, but look, has he ever mentioned a single word about this matter?"
Xiang Sheng subconsciously recalled that Jiang Yi had never mentioned the specific details of the catastrophe.
"Before his death in his previous life, he was filled with hatred, on the verge of madness, and almost possessed by a demon. But now his personality is as gentle as before the catastrophe in his previous life."
The old demon king narrowed his eyes, "Every time I think about this, I find it strange. After pondering it for a hundred years, I have some guesses. Just listen to it, don't take it seriously."
Or, he survived the stage of being possessed by the devil, and his state of mind broke through and reached the realm of human immortal.
But if his heart has already become an immortal, his cultivation speed cannot be slower than in his previous life. Therefore, I am more inclined to the second guess."
The old demon king's tone was slightly heavy. "I'm afraid he has been deprived of all his memories of the catastrophe in his previous life. Even the Yuan embryo couldn't completely protect him, which affected his cultivation foundation."
Hearing this, Xiang Sheng suddenly felt the secret realm tremble slightly and stopped.
She penetrated the barrier of the secret realm and looked outside, only to see a deserted desert with no human habitation.
The old demon king smiled when he saw the scene outside: "We are here."
