"Such a spectacular sight is unprecedented even in the cultivation world, and many cultivators were stunned by the sight of thousands of flowers blooming, deer galloping, and colorful butterflies fluttering."
With a thud of the gavel, the storyteller stroked his beard and asked, "Guess who the Demon Ancestor Ji Gui is going to marry at the Golden Light Sect?"
"Who is it?" the people below echoed, all of them listening intently.
The storyteller narrowed his eyes and said, "The Demon Ancestor Ji Gui is going to marry Elder Feng Xie of the Golden Light Sect, who is also his master!"
The teahouse was filled with clamor. The storyteller, pleased with the crowd's excited emotions, stroked his beard, paused for a moment, and then slammed his gavel down heavily. "You are all right," he said, "a teacher for a day is a father for life. A master-disciple relationship is a taboo in the cultivation world, but..."
"But what?" someone complained. "Old Zhao, can you stop teasing us? Do you think I'm broke or something? If you're serious, I'll cover your meals for the whole day!"
Upon seeing Young Master Jin, the storyteller naturally dared not be negligent and quickly resumed his tale, "However, that True Monarch Feng Xie is exceptionally beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the cultivation world. Even if she is my master, so what? Demon Ancestor Ji Gui has always been arrogant and capricious. Anyone or anything he sets his sights on, even if it isn't now, will be his in the future—"
"Those Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the cultivation world tried to stop it, but unexpectedly, they all ended up exploding and dying. However, that Demon Ancestor Ji Gui was indeed infatuated, loving beauty more than power. After marrying his own master, he showed no intention of revitalizing the Demon Realm. In recent years, demon cultivators have been hunted down by righteous cultivators like rats in the street—"
Inside the teahouse, waiters bustled about serving the customers, who sipped tea, ate melon seeds, and listened to stories, their emotions shifting with the rhythm of the storyteller's tales, their expressions rich and varied.
In the corner, a young man in white tossed down his tea money and walked out of the teahouse with a gloomy expression.
Ha! It's been over a hundred years, and it's the same story. Just add a few new and interesting parts, and you can make money by telling it again, and there are still fools who will support it!
Wen Zhu's lips curled into a mocking smile. He lowered his straw hat and hurried away.
If a righteous cultivator were to encounter him, they would certainly be able to sense the dense demonic energy emanating from him.
Time really flies in the cultivation world. In the first few years after Bi Xie and Ji Gui got married, she was harassed by that demon almost every day, and each time it would last for at least two hours. She felt like she was about to fall apart.
As the incidents continued, Bi Xie's resentment grew stronger.
Ji Gui actually took a manual called "Spring on the Bed" from her treasure pavilion. No wonder he was so skilled. Bi Xie almost burned the pancakes several times when he was making them!
But this further confirms that the man with a face similar to Ji Gui's on their wedding night was not Ji Gui.
"Host, host, Wen Zhu has reached the Nascent Soul stage ahead of schedule and is now heading to that secret realm!" Ru Hua's voice suddenly rang out.
Bi Xie, who was meditating, slowly calmed down and frowned: "He cultivated his demonic arts so quickly? Didn't you say he had only just entered the mid-stage of Core Formation when I was in seclusion last time?"
Ru Hua: "Host, you were in seclusion for sixty years last time, have you forgotten? After you came out, the big boss made you dizzy and disoriented, day and night!"
Bi Xie's eyelids twitched, and he squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "Unforgettable!"
Ru Hua: "Hehehe, once the host goes into seclusion, the big boss will be forced to become a monk. It's not the big boss's fault, sob sob, being alone in his empty chamber for sixty years, no man could stand that~"
Bi Xie ended the topic and asked, "How long until Wen Zhu meets Yan Rui again?"
Ru Hua: "Let me see, ah—"
Hearing her sudden scream, Bi Xie quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Ru Hua: "Wen Zhu was spotted by several righteous cultivators. They recognized him as a demonic cultivator and attacked him together. Wen Zhu was too ruthless; he directly slit the necks of several people. The blood looked so real; I thought it was going to splatter on my face, sob sob..."
Bi Xie pursed his lips, remaining silent, his long, drooping eyelashes betraying his emotions.
Ru Hua was startled for a moment, but quickly regained her relaxed demeanor. "Well, at Wen Zhu's current travel speed, he should reach that secret realm in about ten days to half a month. Host, you are already in the mid-Nascent Soul stage. With the big boss helping you convert your demonic energy, there's no need to rush your cultivation. It's more important to go and settle your score with your wicked disciple first!"
Bi Xie hummed in agreement.
Even if Ru Hua hadn't reported this news, she was already planning to leave the seclusion.
Back then, Ji Gui failed to retrieve the Wanmeng Fruit, and the root of the Wanmeng Fruit was destroyed by the Demon Emperor Chifeng. Bi Xie thought she was doomed, but unexpectedly, when she cultivated with Ji Gui, the demonic energy in her body was gradually absorbed by Ji Gui.
This guy found a good excuse, and every time he used the pretext of exorcising the demonic energy from her, he would take advantage of her from head to toe, inside and out!
Over a hundred years have passed, and now Bi Xie's demonic energy is almost gone, but the Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Nail still cannot be removed.
She wasn't mistaken when her spiritual power was locked; there was indeed something on those dragon bone soul-destroying nails absorbing her spiritual power.
That thing was the spirit attached to the Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Nail. After the dragon died, its resentment did not dissipate. It was skinned and dismembered and then made into the Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Nail. Its resentment was extraordinary.
Even Ji Gui was helpless and could only use his power to order the dragon to behave.
The dragon soul was still afraid of Ji Gui. Ever since it sensed Ji Gui's aura on Bi Xie, the dragon soul had become much more docile, which is why Bi Xie's cultivation path over the years had been relatively smooth.
However... perhaps because she had been in seclusion for too long and had been away from Ji Gui for a while, the dragon-shaped spirit began to cause trouble again, absorbing her spiritual power.
Even if she goes into seclusion again, it will be of no use.
Stepping out of the secluded stone cave, Bi Xie flew towards Xuanhuo Peak using the Water Ripple Step.
Along the way, we encountered many cultivators who flew on magical artifacts. They were surrounded by spiritual light in the clouds and mist, just like when we first came to the Golden Light Sect. The mountains were towering and the immortals were gathered together.
Having lived in this cultivation world for hundreds of years, these sights could no longer stir Bi Xie's emotions. He moved with lightning speed, and the surrounding scenery receded rapidly.
The cultivators who were flying on their magical artifacts only sensed a tremendous spiritual pressure coming from them. Before they could even see the figure clearly, the phantom had already disappeared into the horizon.
A hundred years ago, after seven Nascent Soul cultivators combined and self-destructed, the four major immortal sects in the cultivation world were reshuffled. Now, the leader of the Golden Light Sect is a Core Formation True Person, and the leaders of the other sects, except for the Hengyun Sect which is led by True Lord Wuzhan, are also Core Formation True Persons.
However, several years ago, Huaiming Zhenjun of the Jinguang Sect successfully entered the Out-of-Body stage, which led to the rise of the Jinguang Sect and made it the number one sect in the cultivation world again.
Bi Xie's thoughts wandered, and he glanced in the direction of Ji Mu Peak before letting out a soft sigh.
Her current position within the Golden Light Sect is awkward.
Huaiming Zhenjun brought back Bodhi flowers from the land of no spirits, but upon hearing the news that the seven Nascent Soul Zhenjuns had combined their powers to self-destruct in order to deal with the Demon Ancestor Ji Gui, he was still in a daze when he heard that Fengxie Zhenjun of his sect had married the demon Ji Gui and that his nemesis Xiaoyi Zhenjun had died at the hands of the demon cultivator Hegao. He was completely dumbfounded.
Later, Bi Xie offered to help him refine the Infant Nourishing Pill, but he refused.
