After the two completed their transaction, Sect Leader Zhou carefully examined the Demon King's corpse.
Looking at the body broken in two, especially after discovering the smooth, mirror-like cut on the body, he was utterly shocked.
Master Zhou sighed inwardly:
"Fellow Daoist Black God, you're so young, yet you've achieved so much; it's truly remarkable!"
A hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but turn to look at Lin Xiaofei, asking, "
"Fellow Daoist Black God, as far as I know, this Demon King should also possess a demonic sword. I wonder if you have obtained that demonic sword?"
Lin Xiaofei shook his head, a hint of regret in his voice, and said softly:
Suddenly, the demon king's soul left his body, and he escaped into the air with the demonic sword. I couldn't stop him in time, and he got away.
"That's a real shame!"
Sect Leader Zhou nodded and said softly.
"Sect Master Zhou, I failed to completely kill that Demon King, and now he has escaped."
When the Demon King fled, he said that he would attract a large demon army. What if they invaded our cultivation world?
Lin Xiaofei's expression turned serious, as if he were worried about what might happen in the future.
After all, this matter is somewhat related to him.
Sect Master Zhou shook his head slightly and said:
Fellow Daoist Black God, you need not worry. The Demon King's physical body has been destroyed; only his soul escaped carrying the Demon Blade.
His strength will not be able to be restored within a hundred years.
Whether the demon army will attack the cultivation world remains to be seen.
However, the Demon King's army suffered a defeat in the territory of the White Tiger Clan, and this matter is related to you.
After the Demon King returns to the Demon Realm, he may inform the people of the Demon Realm about this matter, which could anger many demon cultivators in the Demon Realm, leading them to want to attack our cultivation world.
However, you don't need to worry too much. In my opinion, it will take at least two or three years, or at most ten years or more, for the demonic cultivators of the demon realm to invade our human cultivation world.
"You must understand, we cultivators are not to be trifled with."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei's expression relaxed slightly, and he nodded, saying, "
That's good!
However, this matter must be informed of the entire cultivation world so that all cultivators will take it seriously and guard against a sneak attack by demonic cultivators.
His tone was firm, indicating that he took the matter very seriously.
After all, he hadn't completely killed the Demon King, which was somewhat related to him. If the Demon King had summoned an army of demonic cultivators, it could have triggered a disaster.
Sect Leader Zhou nodded and said solemnly, "
I will personally inform the cultivation world of this matter, so that all cultivators may take note, and I will also warn some cultivators to avoid the vicinity of the demon realm.
Lin Xiaofei nodded, seemingly lost in thought, and then asked:
Sect Leader Zhou, I have some questions. What kind of place is the Demon Realm? How many Demon Kings are there in the Demon Realm?
How do the powerful beings of the Demon Realm compare to our human cultivators?
Sect Leader Zhou hesitated slightly, pondered for a moment, and then replied:
I've never been to the Demon Realm either.
According to records, the Demon Realm, like our cultivation world, is vast and boundless.
However, unlike the Demon Realm, the inland area is a place filled with darkness and permeated with demonic energy.
If we human cultivators were to infiltrate and remain there for an extended period, the weaker cultivators would easily have their minds disturbed by the demonic energy, causing them to lose their reason.
He paused, then said:
The Demon King of the Demon Realm is equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator in our human race.
To date, our cultivation world has publicly identified seven Demon King-level powerhouses, and there may even be one more powerful than a Demon King.
"An existence even stronger than the Demon King? What level of power would that be?"
Lin Xiaofei's expression grew increasingly solemn. He realized that the demonic cultivators of the Demon Realm were not to be underestimated and asked in confusion.
"That is an existence beyond the Fusion Stage. I have never seen such an existence before; it is only recorded in ancient books."
Sect Leader Zhou said solemnly.
Lin Xiaofei's face showed shock. He realized that the power of the Demon Realm might be far greater than he had imagined.
Lin Xiaofei pressed on, asking, "
Sect Master Zhou, someone who has surpassed the Integration Stage, what is their strength like?
Sect Leader Zhou shook his head and replied with a sigh:
I'm not quite sure either.
However, according to the records in the books, such beings could influence the rules of heaven and earth with their every move, and could unleash powerful energy in an instant.
A cultivator of that level could easily destroy half of the cultivation world; their strength was terrifying.
"If cultivators like us were to encounter such an existence, we would be killed in an instant."
His expression was full of emotion. After all, as the head of a sect, he had learned about some ancient things by reading the books in the sect, and knew that such beings were extremely powerful.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei felt a surge of awe, which further strengthened his resolve to pursue his cultivation path.
He knew that the only way to succeed was to continuously improve his own strength.
Sect Leader Zhou patted Lin Xiaofei on the shoulder and said calmly, "
At this stage, we may find it difficult to reach that level, but as long as we diligently cultivate ourselves, one day we might just be able to attain that state.
Lin Xiaofei nodded heavily, his eyes flashing with determination, secretly resolving to surpass the Integration Stage.
Immediately afterward, Lin Xiaofei frowned, a serious expression on his face, and said:
Sect Master Zhou, if that's the case, then the Demon Clan is stronger than our cultivation world.
What if the demon race really sends a large army to invade the human race's cultivation world?
Although I don't know much about the demon race, I do know that there are far more powerful demons than we are, and that demons are naturally physically strong and difficult to kill.
If one day the demon army were to invade the cultivation world, it would be a disaster for many cultivators.
Furthermore, what about the being you mentioned that surpasses even the Demon King level? If such a being were to invade our cultivation world, wouldn't none of us be able to resist?
There was a hint of worry in his voice.
Sect Leader Zhou's expression changed, and after a moment of contemplation, he said:
What you said makes sense. The strength of the demon race is indeed not to be underestimated. We cannot sit idly by and wait to be killed. We must strengthen our defenses and improve our strength.
However, as an existence surpassing the level of a demon king, you don't need to worry about him invading the cultivation world.
Such beings would not easily leave the Demon Realm.
As far as I know, when a cultivator surpasses the Integration stage, they will no longer easily pay attention to what happens in the cultivation world, but will have higher pursuits.
Therefore, demonic cultivators who surpass the level of demon kings will not attack our cultivation world. Such a matter is a trivial one for such beings.
So you don't need to worry about that.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei nodded, his worries lessening somewhat.
But he knew that even so, he could not let his guard down and had to remain vigilant at all times.
Sect Leader Zhou then said:
Regardless, we must continue to cultivate diligently, focusing on improving our strength so that we can effectively deal with external enemies.
"What Sect Leader Zhou says is true."
Lin Xiaofei nodded in agreement.
