Apart from the Immortal Academy, the area that was originally an inn and special buildings was completely empty, leaving everyone feeling empty inside.
"They've left?" Shen Qinghe finally stopped crying, still seemingly unable to believe it.
"I'm leaving!" Feng Jinghan sighed.
After a long exchange of questions and answers, the entire area remained quiet for a long time. After a while, Feng Jinghan gave the order, "This place is a sacred land of immortals. Protect this place. I will erect a monument here to proclaim the achievements of the immortals to the world."
I hereby designate this day as the Festival of Remembrance for Immortals, where everyone can express their longing for the immortals in their own way. Immortal City is a place blessed by immortals; even though the immortals are no longer here, the policies here will remain unchanged, and taxes will be halved for the next three years.”
The people, who were weeping because the immortal had left, finally found some comfort upon hearing these words and exclaimed, "Your Majesty is wise!"
At this moment, in the Demon Realm, the busy crowd suddenly saw a white light appear in the sky, and then a strange-looking building appeared in an open area.
"This, this is the inn opened by Her Highness the Holy Maiden?" a demon asked cautiously.
“If it were located here, it should be,” the other demon replied, craning his neck to look at the towering building that seemed to have no top.
More and more demons gazed at the inn from afar, their eyes filled with curiosity. "What a strange building! Is that flickering magic... or... magic?"
Everyone suppressed their alarm, a feeling stirring within them that the Demon Realm might be about to undergo a major upheaval.
Twenty years later, in Gale City of the Demon Realm, a teleportation array suddenly lit up, and a group of humans and demons stepped out of the array, their eyes filled with excitement.
On the streets of Gale City, the three races can be seen everywhere. There are even some humans who have set up stalls to sell novelties, surrounded by a bunch of demons, and business is quite good.
The beautiful woman in yellow was attracted by all sorts of novel things, and before she even reached the inn, she was already carrying a bunch of things. Another woman in red looked helplessly at her junior sister and said, "Lingzhu, don't run around. Although we have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, look at how many Golden Core cultivators and high-level demon generals are walking around on the streets of the Demon Realm. We still need to be careful."
Miao Lingzhu said unconcernedly, "Senior sister, you are worrying unnecessarily. Senior brothers and sisters have said that True Monarch Xian Ge set up the Heavenly Net five years ago. If anyone bullies me, the law enforcement team will arrive in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Who doesn't know that the Demon Realm is the safest place now? Look, there are still many ordinary people walking outside, and they don't have any worries on their faces."
Looking at the crowds coming and going, Wen Shuiyan realized she might have been overthinking things. Even in the human territory closest to the sect, such a harmonious scene was rarely seen.
“You’re right. If the Demon Realm wasn’t safe, our Martial Uncle wouldn’t have let us come here alone. We’ve wasted a lot of time on Foundation Establishment, let’s go find our Martial Uncle and the others.”
The two went straight to the inn and were immediately greeted warmly by the waiter. It must be said that such enthusiastic service instantly dispelled the fatigue of their journey. Suppressing their curiosity about the inn, they finally saw their group.
"Greetings, Uncle-Master Lie! Greetings, fellow senior brothers and sisters!" Miao Lingzhu, with her cheerful personality, greeted everyone excitedly. "Uncle-Master, the Demon Clan is truly unique! The buildings here are so strange, and those shiny things—are they maintained with spiritual energy? How much spiritual energy does that require? And also, the waiters here are so incredibly attentive; I feel quite embarrassed."
The disciples traveling with them couldn't help but chime in, "That's right, Uncle-Master, if we had known the Demon Race was so much fun, we should have come to the last competition."
Don't let Uncle Lie's young age fool you; he's already at the Golden Core stage, and his talent in the cultivation world is second to none. I've heard he's also a friend of True Monarch Xuan Ge. It seems geniuses and prodigies do indeed come together.
Although Uncle Lieyan was not one to smile, everyone knew that he was just a bit cold-tempered and actually had no airs towards them, the younger generation. Therefore, everyone spoke to him with less reservation.
Lie Yan looked at the chattering crowd without getting annoyed. "The lowest threshold for our Tianyan Sect to participate in the competition is Foundation Establishment. A few years ago, your cultivation levels weren't high enough, and coming here could easily affect your mindset. Let's stay at the inn for a day first, and go to the capital tomorrow. That's where the real novelty will be."
Wen Shuiyan asked curiously, "Uncle-Master, I heard that there's an inn run by True Monarch Xian Ge in the capital. Is it really as magical as the legends say?"
Lie Yan smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when we get there."
The changes in the Demon Realm over the years have been earth-shattering. Due to its abundant resources and through trade with the two races, the Demon Realm has transformed from its previous poverty and made a fortune.
The emergence of the internet has had a profound impact on the demon race. In the past, demons would always look for something to do when they had nothing to do. But since the internet came along, demons spend all their free time browsing the demon network, and humans and demons have also become addicted to it.
Under strong protests from both races, the network is now under construction at a rapid pace. Of course, the construction of the magic network is not free. According to An Ge, the demon race is shifting from an extensive to a high-tech model. Although I don't know the specifics, I can guess from the changes in the demon race's development structure.
Some people were worried that the disciples would become addicted to the internet and neglect their cultivation. However, it was found that although some disciples were indeed affected, many more disciples learned a lot of cultivation knowledge through the internet, tempered their character, and greatly improved their cultivation.
Over time, no one opposed the construction of the network anymore, and some sects even sent their disciples to the Demon Realm to temper their minds.
It must be said that after An Ge became the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan, she truly devoted herself to the cause. Previously, everyone admired her because of the Demon God, but after her commands brought so many changes to the Demon Realm, everyone genuinely respected her.
The young disciples were extremely curious about the legendary master of Tianwu Peak. Although Tianwu Peak was deserted year-round, many disciples wanted to become a member of Tianwu Peak.
After all, Heavenly Mist Peak has produced two ascended immortals, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, True Monarch String Song will surely ascend within a hundred years. There's even a saying circulating in the cultivation world that as long as one becomes a direct disciple of Heavenly Mist Peak, one has already stepped into the gates of the divine realm.
If one were to enter Heavenly Mist Peak, setting aside resources, even a single word or two of guidance from True Monarch String Song would be immensely beneficial. Unfortunately, for so many years, Heavenly Mist Peak has neither recruited any disciples nor even had a single person to sweep or clean.
In recent years, An Ge has rarely left the Demon Realm, and all three races have treated her as one of their own. The biggest point of discord among the three races is the dispute over which race True Monarch Xuan Ge truly belongs to.
From elders to newly initiated disciples, everyone in the Tianyan Sect holds True Monarch Xian Ge in high esteem. This is not only due to her talent, but also to the changes she has brought to the cultivation world.
An ancestor once said that the connection of this path to ascension was largely due to the efforts of the True Monarch of String Song. Over the past twenty years, two ancestral figures have successfully ascended and both expressed their gratitude to her.
