The demonic seed was ultimately transferred into Li Xian's body, and an immense pressure spread outwards, instantly elevating his cultivation to the peak of the Profound Origin Realm.
The sect leader immediately took action, protecting Li Xian's mind before his consciousness completely dissipated.
Li Xian spoke with difficulty, "Sect Master, I am guilty. Please seal me away. Just please take good care of Lin Xi for me."
"Sigh, junior brother..."
Looking at Li Xian, who has come this far step by step, the sect leader knows how much he has sacrificed.
They also understood that if it weren't for the demon's cruelty, Li Xian and Lin Xi wouldn't have ended up like this.
That's enough. I'll help him one last time. Consider it the last thing I, as his senior, will do for them.
"This is the Heavenly Profound Sword, a supreme treasure of the human race that can help suppress demonic energy. We hope you can refine the demonic seed; this is the last thing we can do," the sect leader sighed and said.
The demonic seed is not invincible; as long as one's mind is firm, the sect leader is willing to believe in Li Xian.
After that, Li Xian was sealed away.
...
Suddenly, the scenery changed again; the meadow became an altar, and the sky became rocks.
The morning clouds drifted away with the wind. Sui Xin wanted to grab them, but then, as if completely relaxed, she sighed.
He understands now.
It was all an illusion, and thankfully it was.
"What a sad story," Sui Xin couldn't help but sigh.
But considering how similar his and Xi Yun's current situation is to that of Li Xian and Lin Xi,
He shook his head again, his eyes resolute.
I will never let this happen again.
"Later, whenever I introduced the demonic seed, the sect sealed me away. Over the years, I've had doubts about whether my decision was right."
Until today, I saw you, I saw your choice, and I know.
"Perhaps I did something wrong, but I will never regret it," the old man said, looking at Ye Suixin with renewed composure.
Ye Suixin nodded, expressing his sincere respect for the old man before him.
"So, does Senior Li know anything about that demonic cultivator?" Sui Xin asked again.
It seems like time is running out.
The old man nodded, and an exquisitely crafted, ancient longsword appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"That demonic cultivator outside possesses a demonic eye that allowed him to see the Demon-Sealing Cave and this treasure within, which is why he let you in to retrieve it."
But what he didn't know was that the one sealed away was no longer a demonic cultivator, but a human at the half-step Divine Origin Realm.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Thousands of years have passed, and I imagine many powerful demonic cultivators like him have emerged. A chaotic era is approaching."
After that, I learned some more about the situation.
It turns out that during the thousands of years the old man was imprisoned, he gradually refined the demonic seed through secret techniques and his strong will.
In recent years, the demonic seed has completely dissipated, his cultivation has greatly increased, and he has one foot in the Divine Origin Realm.
In fact, given his talent, he had every opportunity to break through to the Divine Origin Realm over the years. However, his true intention was elsewhere; having lost the purpose of cultivation, everything seemed meaningless.
That sword is called the Heavenly Profound Sword, a supreme treasure of the human race, embodying the righteous energy of heaven and earth.
It has a great suppressive effect on demonic seeds and is a treasure left by the sect leader to help him refine demonic seeds.
Over the course of thousands of years, most of the beauties have passed away. Although the Demon Sealing Cave no longer holds any sway over him, the old man had no intention of entering the mortal world anyway.
It wasn't until he saw Suixin and Xiyun that he became somewhat interested, and he also got the answer he wanted from Suixin.
The old man patted Ye Suixin on the shoulder, looking at the child who resembled him so much, and said, "Child, don't worry, my fate won't be repeated in yours."
Upon hearing this, Sui Xin bowed to the old man and said, "Thank you very much, senior."
Let's go outside.
Sui Xin nodded as well.
At the entrance of the Demon-Sealing Cave, a dark figure sat on a nearby rock, watching Xi Yun and the others, and laughed, "Time is almost up. There's only half an hour left. Once that time is up, it will be your death day. So, have you thought about how you want to die?"
He felt it was a pity that the plan had mostly failed and he would have to look for another opportunity later.
Besides, there's a second plan in progress, so if this one didn't yield any results, so be it; it was an accident after all.
As he was thinking, a chilling sword light suddenly shot out from the ground, pointing towards his brow.
In an instant, he condensed his form and retreated at lightning speed, narrowly avoiding the sword light.
Immediately afterwards, a ball of light appeared. As the golden light slowly dissipated, an old man in black and the children who had gone inside came into view.
It was Li Xian and Sui Xin.
"Yun'er, are you alright?" Sui Xin ran to Xi Yun's side as soon as she landed and hugged her.
Xi Yun was puzzled and gently patted Ye Suixin's back. "Suixin, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'm actually quite happy."
The scenes he had just experienced had caused him excruciating pain, but now, seeing Xi Yun still standing alive and well in front of him, his joy was beyond words.
Xi Yun felt a little confused. "I'm fine, how about you?"
"I'm fine, it was this Senior Li who saved us."
Xi Yun nodded, then noticed Sui Xin's bandaged left hand and felt a pang of heartache: "Are you injured?"
He casually withdrew his hand and said, "Oh, it's nothing, just some minor injuries."
Wu Qianyu stood to the side, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
As they spoke, the old man pointed his sword at the shadowy figure and said, "How dare the audacious demons run rampant in my human territory!"
"And who are you? Why are you in the Demon Sealing Cave?" The dark figure took a slight step back. The cultivator in front of him was stronger than him, and everything that had just happened was beyond his expectations.
"Me? I'm the one who's going to kill you," the old man said without further ado, and attacked directly.
