At this moment, Xuan Yan Danzu and Wen Qing Yuanzu were arguing about how to arrange for the two paths of Tong Su to cultivate together.
Xuan Yan Dan Zu said, "Why don't we let each of them go for three months?" Wen Qing Yuan Zu then said, "Then Bai Tong should come to my weapon-refining workshop first." Xuan Yan Dan Zu glared and disagreed, while Wen Qing Yuan Zu smiled and refused to budge.
The two argued so much that they almost came to blows, but the other powerful figures waved their hands and said, "Let them fight it out, we're leaving now."
They were already used to the mutual dislike between Xuan Yan Dan Zu and Wen Qing Yuan Zu.
The disciples weren't worried at all; they even ate melon seeds and watched the excitement from the sidelines, occasionally shouting "Go Master!" or "Teacher, go!" They were practically shaking their feet and waving flags in support.
Tong Su stared in disbelief. Yue Yuan walked over to her and asked with a smile, "Never seen this before?"
She nodded: "Really not." She pursed her lips and said, "I... come from the north, and I've never seen a master and disciple get along like this before."
To the north lies the sect's territory.
Yue Yuan understood.
"Master, Xiaobai, you're from a sect? Don't worry, the Loose Cultivator City doesn't care about your background. As long as you're a righteous person, the Loose Cultivator City welcomes you. Once you've stayed here a while, you'll understand the atmosphere here."
Bai Tong was Master's student, so calling her "Junior Sister" wasn't quite appropriate. Moreover, as soon as he uttered the word "Master," he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if he were being stared at by something terrifying. Yue Yuan immediately changed his address.
Calling each other by name would be too intimate, but since they are all disciples of the Profound Flame Pill Ancestor, it wouldn't be appropriate to be too distant.
He simply called Bai Tong by her surname, maintaining a comfortable distance without being too formal or overly intimate.
Tong Su didn't notice Yue Yuan's change of address. Upon hearing the words "righteous path," she immediately thought of Tian Xuanzi.
He's come from the Demon Realm now, so it seems like he's already finished what he was doing there?
The cultivation world is divided into three parts: Zhongzhou, where the righteous path resides; Guiyu, where the demon realm is located; and Aozhou, where the demon realm is located.
The boundary between the demon race and this place was sealed by an ancient powerful being tens of thousands of years ago. Legend has it that the Ao Continent, where the demon race lives, is the back of an enormous Ao fish.
The giant sea monsters are as large as continents and can swim slowly in the void sea. If the gate to the boundary were to open, they could occupy the seas outside the Central Continent and the Demon Realm and invade the human world.
However, these were all legends recorded in history books, and Yue Yuan only glanced at them and did not take them to heart.
After all, with the gate to the realm closed, it's better to worry about demonic cultivators than demons.
The demonic cultivators have been walking the righteous path for many years.
Although the boundary between the righteous and the demonic realms is not completely closed, it is only partially open. Moreover, the demonic realm has restrictions left by ancient powerful beings, allowing people from the demonic realm to enter and exit freely, but placing restrictions on righteous cultivators.
Righteous Mahayana cultivators cannot enter the Demon Realm through the boundary gate.
The Demon Realm was barren. Before Tian Xuanzi fell into demonic possession, the number of cultivators in the Demon Realm was dwindling. They had no Mahayana cultivators, and the highest cultivation level they had was only the Nascent Soul stage. They were led by twelve Nascent Soul peak demon cultivators.
Those twelve people called themselves the "Twelve Generals," the same "Twelve Generals" that the demonic cultivators mentioned when Tong Su and Tian Xuanzi parted ways in the far north, who were supposed to join forces to deal with Tian Xuanzi.
In order to maintain their rule, the Twelve Generals demanded that all demonic cultivators offer their soul fire in submission. Anyone who refused would be immediately intercepted and killed—and any exceptionally talented juniors would be secretly ambushed and killed as well.
As a result, it has become difficult for the Demon Realm to produce a new generation with profound cultivation. If it weren't for the fact that righteous cultivators could not enter the boundary gate, the Demon Realm would probably have been wiped out by the righteous path long ago.
Thinking of this, Tong Su suddenly had a thought—
The righteous path of Mahayana Buddhism cannot enter the Demon Realm, but Tian Xuanzi suddenly fell into demonic possession, so wouldn't that be the perfect opportunity for him to enter the Demon Realm?
