Three years passed, and Ren Pingsheng continuously absorbed demonic energy within the black cocoon, advancing his cultivation from the initial stage of the Respect level to the advanced stage. To be honest, given his talent, this progress over three years could be considered decent, but not particularly outstanding.
However, considering that he had been unconscious for these three years, it was understandable that everything was done subconsciously. It is known that some extraordinary geniuses can reach the perfected Respect level in just three years.
"The Heart of the Demon God, the Heart of Slaughter. This Abyss of Demons truly favors me; I just don't know if this is a blessing or a curse!" Ren Pingsheng murmured. He had heard about the so-called Heart of the Demon God from the Demon Emperor and did not consider it a good thing. The reason was simple: he was not a member of the demon race. Initially, he had only been able to refine demonic energy by chance, appearing as if he were one of them.
"Forget it, whether it's a blessing or a curse, I can't avoid it now. It's not the time to think about these things. Next, I should find a place to recover my true energy." He shook his head and did not rush to Yuzhou City. With all the demonic energy in his body, if he acted carelessly, he would be recognized. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to recover his true energy first.
Soon, Ren Pingsheng found a secluded spot and cleared out the surrounding beasts before setting up a Spirit Gathering Array. Once everything was ready, he sat within the array and activated the Ancient Lan Divine Art.
The six-colored vortex in his Dantian suddenly became responsive. The five elemental colors that had been suppressed by the black representing demonic energy immediately buzzed and shone brightly. Then, the external true energy seemed to be attracted and rushed into Ren Pingsheng's body.
The demonic energy within him appeared to be suppressed and began to gradually recede. Although this demonic energy slowly retreated from his meridians, it still occupied the pool beneath the six-colored vortex in his Dantian—the place where true energy and demonic energy were stored—refusing to yield, making it impossible for true energy to enter.
The five-colored light flickered incessantly as if angered; its rotation speed suddenly doubled, sweeping away all true energy within a few moments. The brilliance of the five top-grade spirit stones in the Spirit Gathering Array dimmed significantly.
With the influx of surging true energy, it continuously poured into the pool below and began to compete with the demonic energy. The two sides were irreconcilable and immediately engaged in a fierce battle within his Dantian. Fortunately, Ren Pingsheng's Dantian remained calm like still water without any disturbance.
Under the relentless assault of true energy, the demonic energy gradually fell into a disadvantageous position as it was pushed out of the pool. Naturally unwilling to give up, the Black Radiance flickered as external spirit energy began to mix with some of this demonic energy. Although this temporarily halted its decline, five out of six colors represented true energy attributes; defeat was only a matter of time.
When Ren Pingsheng fell into the Abyss of Demons initially, he was at an advanced Martial Master level. Now that he was recovering his true energy, his cultivation quickly returned to full strength. Following that, under the stimulation of abundant true energy, his cultivation began to rise rapidly. In fact, he already possessed Respect level cultivation; it was just that he lacked sufficient true energy.
Now with an endless supply of true energy, he only needed to keep absorbing it. After two hours, Ren Pingsheng's cultivation reached perfection at Martial Master level and began to break through to Respect level. At this point, the demonic energy started to retreat significantly. With his breakthrough in cultivation, his true energy became even more robust; naturally, isolated demonic energy stood no chance against him.
"Boom..." Ultimately, when true energy reached its peak, two-thirds of true energy and one-third of demonic energy collided violently in the pool beneath the six-colored vortex and suddenly exploded. The pool had reached its limit.
In that moment of breakthrough, true energy within ten miles surged violently towards him. Finally, one-third of the demonic energy was completely expelled and was about to be forced out of his body entirely. If that happened, it would mean complete dissolution; there would no longer be any demonic energy within him.
"Thud..." The previously dormant Heart of Slaughter suddenly throbbed violently. More precisely, it was the upper part known as the Demon Heart that was in turmoil. It seemed unable to bear witnessing its own demonic energy vanish; its throbbing intensified dramatically until a flash of blood-red light shot forth and struck at the forming true energy storage pool.
Then with a twist of blood-red light causing vibrations throughout, the pool expanded instantly by double its size before splitting down the middle. Two storage pools formed beneath the six-colored vortex: one filled with incoming true energy while the other filled with previously defeated demonic energy.
“Hmm… Demon God Heart!” Ren Pingsheng gasped, his expression not looking particularly good. However, after sensing it for a moment, he felt as if there was nothing wrong, so he relaxed.
What was even harder for him to believe was that True Qi and Demonic Energy were stored in their respective pools without interfering with each other. This meant that there was an additional storage pool in his Dantian. Although it contained Demonic Energy, he could still use it freely. In other words, starting today, in addition to having twice the amount of True Qi compared to others, he also had an equal amount of Demonic Energy. This was equivalent to having four times the True Qi of others, which made him feel like he was dreaming.
“Sigh, what a love-hate situation!” Ren Pingsheng tried it out and found that he could indeed manipulate Demonic Energy freely. However, when using it, all of his True Qi would retreat back into the Dantian. Conversely, when using True Qi, the Demonic Energy would obediently retreat as well; it seemed they were getting along quite well.
“I'm still a bit short of the initial stage of Sovereign level. I need to continue cultivating and raise both to the same level.” Demonic Energy was at the level of a High-Level Sovereign, while True Qi could still be improved.
As True Qi continued to surge in, the Six-Colored Cyclone also showed no signs of stopping. The lower True Qi storage pool, which originally only had one-third of its capacity filled, began to slowly increase. Eventually, it matched the level of the Demonic Energy storage pool, only slightly shy of being completely full. At this moment, both finally reached equilibrium.
“With both True Qi and Demonic Energy at the level of a High-Level Sovereign, I can leave now.” Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes and smiled with satisfaction. Regardless of whether this Demon God Heart was good or bad, at least it was greatly beneficial to him now. Upon hearing Ren Pingsheng's description, the Demon Emperor also expressed amazement and felt envious.
Yuzhou City, the closest city to the Starfire Desert, is a second-tier city with a population exceeding thirty million and is quite prosperous. Every day, countless martial artists pass through here into the Starfire Desert.
“What an impressive city! Just from the outside, it doesn’t seem much different from Nanyun City.” After half a month of cultivation and consolidation, Ren Pingsheng finally arrived at Yuzhou City. He needed a place to stay while traveling through the Southern Region, so he decided to gather information here.
“Speaking of which, I’ve never been to this Jiangzhou. My main travel destinations back then were all in the Southern State, which was truly prosperous with countless geniuses. I traveled there for thirty years before becoming a King-Level Expert and then left,” said the Demon Emperor with a smile.
“I want to check out this Southern State as well, but I need to prepare first. Let’s take a look around here in Jiangzhou and understand the situation in the Southern Region.”
“Make way, make way.” Suddenly, a large convoy appeared on the official road behind them, with a very luxurious Carriage in the center. The guards on either side were all at the level of Martial Mastery, and two looked even more formidable; it was clear they were not ordinary people.
Ren Pingsheng glanced over but didn’t want to cause trouble and kept his distance. Many others did the same; it seemed everyone recognized that this group was not simple. However, some people looked displeased and appeared unconvinced.
“Hey hey, don’t be foolish; this is the carriage of the City Lord's Son from Yuzhou City. Who would dare block it? His father is a King-Level Expert,” said a knowledgeable martial artist mockingly as if looking at fools.
“Hmm… a King-Level Expert. No wonder,” one martial artist immediately shrank back upon hearing this, looking terrified; just those four words were enough to intimidate everyone.
“A King-Level Expert, huh? It seems this Yuzhou City is not simple,” thought Ren Pingsheng, glancing up before walking through the city gate. However, he hadn’t gone far when he noticed that the convoy had actually stopped amidst loud commotion; he didn’t know what had happened.
“Kid, how dare you bump into our young master’s carriage? You’ve got some guts! It looks like if we don’t teach you a lesson, others will think we’re easy to bully!” said a fierce-looking guard dressed in black who rode at the front, cracking his whip towards the obstructing youth.
“Ah…” The youth let out a scream as he flew backward. However, upon landing, he immediately knelt down and pleaded for mercy: “Please spare me! I was just anxious to save someone and didn’t see it; please forgive me!”
"Hmph, now you know to beg for mercy, but it's useless. You won't be able to leave today." As he spoke, he raised the horsewhip, making it larger. The boy's cultivation seemed to be only at the Warrior Realm, unable to withstand it, and he cried out in pain.
Ren Pingsheng frowned for a moment but couldn't help but intervene. He flashed forward and grabbed the Guards' horsewhip, pulling it down onto the boy who was rolling on the ground.
"Even if he offended you, you've already taught him a lesson; you can let him go."
"Oh? There’s actually someone who dares to meddle? You really don’t know how to write the word 'death.'" The Guards laughed mockingly.
"Oh, even if I meddle, what can you do?" A glint flashed in Ren Pingsheng's eyes as a terrifying aura pressed directly toward the Guards. The Guards, unable to withstand the shock, collapsed to the ground. The other Guards were similarly affected.
"You..." The Guards looked terrified, unable to utter a single coherent word for a long time.
"Hmph, meddling in others' affairs could cost you your life." An elder who had been silent suddenly moved, striking with a palm that exuded an imposing presence. He was evidently a respected martial artist and showed no mercy with his attack.
"Heh, is that all you've got? You're far from enough." Ren Pingsheng smiled lightly and also struck out with a palm. The two clashed and immediately separated. Ren Pingsheng remained unmoved while the elder retreated five or six steps before finally stopping, his face filled with shock, completely losing his earlier composure.
"Sir, your strength is impressive. I am Mei Xinyuan; I wonder if you would be interested in visiting the City Lord's Mansion for a discussion?" A man's voice came from within the luxurious carriage, sounding exceptionally gentle like a spring breeze in March.
"Thank you, but I have urgent matters to attend to; I will take this boy with me." Ren Pingsheng glanced at the carriage and refused without a second thought. Setting aside any potential relationship with him, once he went to the City Lord's Mansion, who knew what ill intentions he might have? It would be impossible to leave.
"That's truly unfortunate; we shall take our leave!" The convoy departed as if nothing had happened and soon disappeared from sight.
