How dare you speak to your senior brother like that! You're no dog!
Shi Xuan glanced at him, raised the Lianfeng sword in his hand, and said, "Or should I talk to you with this?"
Lu Wenxing burst into fake tears and ran to Lin Daozi, sobbing, "Master, look at Junior Sister! She's started bullying Senior Brother now that her cultivation is higher than mine!"
Lin Daozi patted Lu Wenxing's head affectionately and replied kindly, "Don't cry. Let your junior sister hit you a few times. It won't hurt you. You're tough."
Lu Wenxing suddenly stopped crying. He turned to look at the other three and found them watching the commotion and laughing happily, showing no sympathy for him whatsoever. He sighed inwardly at the harshness of the world.
Lin Daozi added, "If you want to fight back, your master won't stop you. Just focus on your cultivation and surpass your junior sister's, then you'll be able to defeat her."
Lu Wenxing's face turned green.
Junior Sister is currently at the second level of the Nascent Soul stage, while he is only at the fifth level of the Core Formation stage. Moreover, this advancement of five levels is closely related to the demon core he obtained in the Nine-Story Pagoda.
By the time he reaches the second level of the Nascent Soul stage, his junior sister might already be at the Void Refining stage!
Besides, everyone knows how monstrous their junior sister is; it's common for her to fight opponents far above her level. Today, even if he were at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, or even the fifth level of the Divine Transformation stage, he might not be able to defeat her!
Lu Wenxing deeply felt that his master's love for him had disappeared...
He looked around and finally chose to walk to the fourth brother, He Weiqing, put his arm around his shoulder and said, "The one who understands me best is still my fourth junior brother. I'll tell you about my amazing skills in the secret realm later!"
“I…” He Weiqing wanted to say “I don’t want to hear it,” but he was interrupted by Lu Wenxing after only uttering one word.
"You must really want to hear it, right? You always love hearing about my amazing feats! Come on, I'll take you there now!"
As Lu Wenxing spoke, he pulled He Weiqing away.
He Weiqing's slightly plump body showed some resistance; she didn't want to go with Lu Wenxing.
But Lu Wenxing pulled her away.
Before leaving, he turned back and looked at his fellow students with innocent eyes, hoping to get their help.
But no one saved him.
And so, the taciturn fourth brother was dragged away to suffer Lu Wenxing's inhumane torment...
At this moment, Shi Xuan had a moment to chat with his master and senior brother about what had happened on the Qian Yuan Continent in the past few years.
"Master, are you saying that Fan Hongde hasn't shown up at all in the past few years?"
Lin Daozi nodded and said, "Yes, and since you disappeared, our sect has been sending people to search for his whereabouts, but we haven't heard a single word. It's as if he vanished into thin air and hasn't returned to the sect."
Shi Xuan pondered for a moment before speaking his thoughts.
“Master, have you ever thought about why Fan Hongde’s cultivation improved so quickly? When he attacked me five years ago, he must have already passed the Refinement stage, but during our Six Sects Grand Competition, he was only at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage. Who can complete the Nascent Soul stage in two years and then advance to the Refinement stage? If you say that Fan Hongde is a person with extraordinary talent, he is not.”
"Yes, I initially thought he had some kind of extraordinary encounter, but now it seems that it would be more accurate to say that he practiced some kind of evil magic."
Shi Xuan looked at Lin Daozi: "Master, Fan Mingzhu has fallen into demonic possession and fled. Fan Hongde has abandoned all sect affairs and goes out to search for her every day. If Fan Hongde finds Fan Mingzhu..."
"You mean..."
Shi Xuan's meaning was clear: Fan Hongde found Fan Mingzhu, and then Fan Mingzhu dragged him into the mire, making him a demonic cultivator.
If that's the case, everything can be sorted out.
In the past, when demonic cultivators were rampant, why were so many cultivators willingly degenerated into demonic cultivators? It was simply because, given sufficient conditions, demonic cultivators could cultivate very quickly, and there was no such thing as a bottleneck.
That's why many cultivators whose cultivation has stagnated are willing to take risks and succumb to temptation.
Therefore, such a rapid rate of cultivation growth would be very difficult to achieve through normal means.
No wonder people think of it as demonic cultivation.
If Fan Hongde were truly placed into the category of demonic cultivators, many things would suddenly become clear.
He has a daughter who is a demonic cultivator, he has been searching for her, he hasn't appeared in the cultivation world for a long time, and his cultivation level has suddenly increased rapidly... all of this can be explained.
Lin Daozi's expression darkened slightly as he said, "The sect leader and I had our doubts before. If that's the case, the cultivation world is probably going to be in turmoil."
Just then, Shi Mingxiu arrived at Fuyu Peak, and the group brought up the old story again.
Shi Mingxiu frowned and said, "It's better to be safe than sorry. We need to notify the other sects and take precautions."
If he had reached the Void Refinement stage five years ago, I wonder what his cultivation level would be now.
Tang Nong asked in surprise, "Are demonic cultivators really that powerful? Can they continuously improve without rest or restriction?"
“No,” Lin Daozi replied, “Although they do not have a bottleneck period, they will eventually go mad because too much demonic energy enters their bodies and they cannot control themselves.”
"So, the ultimate form of demonic cultivation is madness?"
“That’s one way to put it,” Lin Daozi said gravely. “Most of those uncontrollable demonic cultivators will eventually explode and die, or be devoured by their own kind. What’s terrifying is that during the period between their madness and their explosion, their attack power is immense and uncontrollable. At this time, they pose a great threat to the cultivation world.”
"Do all demonic cultivators eventually explode?"
Lin Daozi shook his head and said, "Occasionally, someone with extremely strong self-control will emerge. They will desperately try to control themselves from inhaling too much demonic energy and being driven by it. Such people usually end up becoming demon kings."
Upon hearing this, Tang Nong breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said, "No wonder the legends say that demonic cultivators are irritable; now I understand."
How can someone who can't even control themselves in the end not be irritable?
Shi Mingxiu sighed: "The demonic cultivators were finally wiped out, but now they are probably going to make a comeback. This world is not peaceful."
Shi Xuan took out the Ice Soul Sword from his spatial storage, weighed it in his hand, and said, "After three hundred years, the Ice Soul Sword has reappeared. Perhaps it is the will of Heaven. We will meet force with force and water with earth. Isn't it our duty as cultivators to slay demons and monsters? At worst, we can just destroy it again, just like we did three hundred years ago!"
"Well said!" Lin Daozi clapped his hands and said, "Our Qian Yuan Western Territory has been at peace for too long now, and the new generation of disciples has lost their fighting spirit. We need Xuan'er's spirit!"
On the day she entered the sect, her words in the central square deeply moved Lin Daozi.
He was right about this person; this disciple was definitely worth it!
