"Is this the legendary Phantom Demon Realm?" Gao Han noticed that the Phantom Demon Realm had an uncomfortable feeling that could disturb people's mood even from a distance.
He boasted that most of the time he could remain calm even when faced with a huge disaster, but now, just the sight of the Phantom Demon Realm made him feel irritated.
This was a feeling that Zhongli Tingzhou had never experienced every time he played in front of him.
"Have you heard of it?" Master Tian Dao put his hands behind his back calmly, looking like a master.
"I've only heard of this name. As for the origin of the name of the Phantom Demon Realm, I only know that it seems to be because of a creature inside it." Gao Han shook his head. He had no idea of the specific situation.
Tian Dao nodded gently and said, "This creature is called the Phantom Demon. It was born in the abyss and grew up in the abyss. It has existed since the beginning of the world. In ancient times, that is, the era of the immortals, the Phantom Demon once wreaked havoc in the Lingtian Continent, and was later suppressed back to the abyss by the immortals."
The two of them talked as they brought Gao Han closer.
"Did you see it?" Tian Dao asked.
Gao Han looked intently. Under their feet was the Phantom Demon Realm. In the center of the Phantom Demon Realm there was a huge, bottomless abyss. It was pitch black below, and everywhere was covered with black fog.
The black mist surged from time to time, as if something wanted to rush out from below, but was blocked, making an angry roar.
The roar was actually very low and not that loud to Gao Han's ears, but he could hear all kinds of complex sounds.
"This Phantom Demon Realm has restrictions, right?"
Tian Dao nodded and said, "In order to prevent the ghost demons from coming out to harm the world, the powerful immortals of the Immortal Era have joined forces to set up a ban here."
Gao Han was curious when he heard this, "Master, no matter how powerful the restriction is, after all these years, does it still have the power it once had?"
"The methods of the immortals are beyond our imagination. From what I have learned, the immortals sacrificed several powerful immortals in order to permanently seal the Nether Demon Realm." Tian Dao said with emotion, "This is the responsibility of the strong. When you have more power, the responsibility you need to bear will also be greater."
Gao Han nodded, "Disciple understands, thank you for your teachings, Master."
Tian Dao was very pleased to see that he understood this truth, and didn't even need to be told more. "You are better than I thought. I never need to worry about you. You are much easier to teach than your brothers and sisters. I have never been worried about them."
Gao Han's expression slightly changed. It was rare that the master actually brought up the topic, so he asked, "Does this disciple have any other senior brothers or sisters?"
"Of course. In my life, besides you, I have only accepted one disciple." Tiandao's expression was indifferent, and his face was no longer as moved as when he was mentioned by Master Zixiao before.
Gao Han was surprised when he heard this. "A disciple? Didn't you just say that you have senior brothers and sisters? Could it be that one of them is the master's child?"
Tian Dao just responded calmly but didn't say anything else.
Gao Han did not ask any further questions. The fact that his master was willing to take the initiative to talk about the past was already a progress. He would tell him about the future as well.
"Master, did you bring me here to train me in the Phantom Demon Realm?"
He felt that with his current strength, the ghost demon that had required the help of immortals to seal it back then might be able to swallow him up as soon as he entered.
"You will surely die if you enter now." Tian Dao's words confirmed his thoughts, "Do you know why the immortals sealed the ghost demons in the abyss of the ghost demon realm instead of killing them?"
Gao Han said without hesitation: "Because the ghost demon cannot be eliminated?"
"Yes, countless immortal monks died in order to destroy the ghost demon, but they were still unable to destroy the ghost demon's leader. Finally, they chose to seal the ghost demon under this abyss." Tian Dao looked into the abyss.
"Disciple, there seem to be quite a few ghost demons below. Could it be that the ghost demons can also continue to reproduce like humans?" Gao Han only took a glance and found that countless ghost demons were ready to make a move below.
Tian Dao nodded, "Of course you can. From today on, what you have to do is to find ways to kill a ghost demon, and you can only rely on swinging the sword each time without using the Eight Divine Swords or practicing the True Yang Heart Method. When you can kill a ghost demon, your master will increase the number of ghost demons."
Gao Han frowned and asked, "Didn't Master say that these ghost demons cannot be eliminated? How can I eliminate them?"
"You have to figure it out on your own." Tian Dao said calmly, "You still have to join the Wanxian Dao. There is only half a year left. You must do it within five months. Since you proposed it yourself, I will not let you leave before you can do it."
It sounded like he had walked himself into a trap. Gao Han frowned, "Will it be completed in five months? Isn't that too long? I have other things to do."
Tian Dao suddenly laughed, "Looking at your usual calm and composed appearance, you are indeed very arrogant at heart. Not many people can kill a ghost demon within five months. Do you still want to do it within a few months?"
Gao Han hesitated for a moment and said, "About three months."
"Okay, since you like challenges so much, I will give you two months." Tian Dao left him there after saying this, as if he had said two months instead of three months by mistake.
Gao Han didn't care. He didn't know how tight the two months time was.
The sealed abyss of the Nether Demon Realm, the Nether Demons cannot get out, and ordinary cultivators cannot get in, but Tian Dao always has his way.
When he came back, Gao Han saw him catch a ghost demon and finally saw the ghost demon's true face.
It was a pitch-black ball of fog, with no visible limbs or facial features. It seemed as if it was made up of a ball of black fog and was constantly struggling in the hands of Master Tiandao.
As soon as Master Tiandao loosened his hand, the ghost demon seemed to have a low IQ and actually fought back. Master Tiandao slapped it and it flew to Gao Han's feet.
The ghost demon seemed to realize that the human was a tough nut to crack, and after discovering the weaker Gao Han, it rushed towards him at lightning speed.
Gao Han did not choose to confront head-on, but retreated immediately. When he looked again, Master Tian Dao had disappeared.
After the ghost demon missed its target, it turned in the air and pounced towards Gao Han again.
Gao Han drew out the sword he carried with him. His master had instructed not to use the Eight Divine Swords, so he just struck the man on the head with the sword without deliberately using his spiritual power.
The ghost demon seemed not to have seen the knife and rushed forward head-on, and as a result, the knife accidentally passed through it.
This ghost demon was not injured at all and was still as fierce and aggressive as at the beginning.
Gao Han was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and quickly dodged the ghost demon's attack. He looked up at the sky and said, "Master, can't the ghost demon be harmed by a knife?"
Master Tian Dao did not respond, as if he had already left.
Gao Han was out of options. He was just about to try using other magic weapons to attack when he suddenly remembered something. His master seemed to have made a request at the beginning.
You cannot use the Eight God Swords to attack Phantom Demon, and each attack can only be a simple swing of the sword.
This sentence may seem ordinary, but it actually reveals the solution to killing the ghost demon.
If swinging the sword cannot kill the ghost demon, there seems to be no need for the master to keep swinging the sword. However, he glanced at the ghost demon that kept rushing towards him.
The strength of this ghost demon is not very strong, which is within the range that he can bear. However, because the ghost demon is not static, it will counterattack with all its might every time. In addition to swinging his sword to kill, he also has to dodge constantly. In this case, how can he calm down and sharpen his sword?
Gao Han finally realized what kind of experience this was.
This test not only his knife, but also his willpower and patience.
When you keep swinging your sword but keep missing, the demon may always be safe and have endless power, but every time you swing your sword, you lose not only physical strength but also spiritual strength. Can you continue to keep your original intention unwavering?
It's difficult. How difficult it is.
After realizing this, Gao Han now finally understood why Master Tian Dao gave him five months and why no one else could do it.
Gao Han stared at the ghost demons that kept rushing towards him, and his heart slowly calmed down. It was just the beginning, how could he waver? Even though he knew what he would encounter next, the idea of becoming stronger never changed.
How can I make this ghost demon stand still and let him chop continuously?
Gao Han lowered his eyes slightly, thinking slowly.
Perhaps, he should have first learned Elder Qian's simplified version of the Tiandu Destruction Formation, but learning this formation might take a lot of time, and time was too tight.
Gao Han has never realized the importance of time to him as he does now. In the past, he always felt that he had plenty of time.
Above the Phantom Demon Realm, Tian Dao stood in the cold, looking down at the scene. He frowned at his disciple, and there seemed to be a hint of annoyance between his brows, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"Two months. I want to see how you solve it."
In the ghost demon realm below, Gao Han did not easily draw his sword again. After realizing that a simple sword attack could no longer hurt the ghost demon, he decided to adopt other strategies.
He took out some magic weapons that he had refined before from the Yayoi Ring. There were quite a lot of these magic weapons, all of which were used to set up formations.
Gao Han threw these magic weapons in the same area, and then set up a confinement formation. According to his idea, he would lure the ghost demon into the confinement formation, fix the ghost demon, and then he would test the sword.
When Tian Dao saw him take out these magic weapons, he realized his purpose and a faint smile appeared on his face, but it became more unfathomable.
It’s not that someone has thought of this approach before, but no one has been able to stick to it.
The ghost demon without intelligence quickly entered the confinement formation according to Gao Han's idea. Once the formation was activated, the ghost demon could not escape.
Gao Han stood in front of the formation, holding a long sword, staring at the ghost demon that kept hitting the formation, and then waved his hand.
The blade light penetrated the body of the ghost demon again. Without practicing the True Yang Heart Method and using the Eight Divine Swords, it was indeed difficult to swing a blade light that could harm the ghost demon.
Gao Han frowned. Without using these, is it really possible to kill the demons?
He was not sure, but since the Master had made these requests, it should be possible to do it. He just hadn't figured it out yet.
Perhaps simply swinging the knife is not to allow him to create new knife techniques or new shortcuts, but to allow him to solve the puzzle with quantity.
If this is true, Gao Han's eyes became more and more determined, so let's give it a try.
Gao Han began to swing his sword repeatedly. Every time he swung, he hit the ghost demon in the formation. However, the first time, he penetrated the ghost demon's body, as if it was just physical damage. Because his master did not allow him to use other methods, even though he guessed that magic damage might be able to do it, he did not plan to use it.
He came here to become stronger, not to find a way to deal with the ghost demon.
The sky above the Demonic Realm is covered by thick black fog all year round. You can't see the sun, the moonlight, or whether it is day or night. Here, it is always in a foggy situation.
Gao Han kept swinging his knife over and over again, as if he was tireless, and in the end he didn't know how much time had passed.
The ghost demon in the formation still stood there, allowing him to attack. During this time, it had been trying to break free from the formation's confinement.
After a few days, no matter how fast Gao Han's body absorbed spiritual energy, it could not keep up with the spiritual energy consumption every moment. The direction was off, and the knife did not hit the ghost demon.
Gao Han stood there holding the knife and swallowed a few pills to restore his spiritual power. The medicinal power quickly evaporated.
After a while, the spiritual energy that had been exhausted began to fill the meridians again.
However, it was not a solution to continue like this. Gao Han stared at the formation with flickering lights. Perhaps the standing still method did not work very well. He should change his method. He rearranged the formation again.
The original formation had been almost completely consumed by the continuous attacks of the ghost demons.
The rearranged formation was twice as large as the original one. The ghost demon was confined in a larger space and could move, but its range was limited.
It would be twice as difficult to kill the ghost demon with a sword like this.
"Just trying to be clever." Tian Dao in the sky said lightly.
It doesn’t matter how cold it is, as long as it is useful.
Demons that can dodge are no longer so easy to hit. Although this ghost demon is not very smart, fortunately it can dodge.
As he chopped and hacked, an unknown amount of time passed.
Gao Han's hands were becoming more and more sore and swollen. Every time he felt that the spiritual power in his body was almost gone, he would immediately take a pill, and with the help of the absorbed medicinal power and the spiritual energy in the air that he was absorbing all the time, he would swing the sword again. Slowly, he also noticed some differences.
The constant use of spiritual power not only flushed his meridians, making them wider and wider, but also made his cultivation more and more solid. The spiritual power of his physical strength was also slightly deeper than when he first entered the Phantom Demon Realm.
However, his sword still failed to kill the demon.
"Master, how much time has passed now?" Gao Han had a look between his brows, which might be tiredness or irritation. He raised his head and asked the sky. He knew that his master was still nearby.
It was quiet all around, with only the roars coming from the abyss of the Phantom Demon Realm.
For a long time, Tian Dao did not respond.
