The rebirth of the Demon Emperor can be considered a joyous event. The day after returning to Nanzhou City, the two enjoyed a good meal at a restaurant in Southern State before leaving Nanzhou City and heading to Star Moon City, which is thousands of miles away.
"Let's stay here for a while!" Star Moon City is also a first-tier city, and although it is not as good as Nanzhou City, it is still a nice place. Ren Pingsheng was quite satisfied.
"Kid, do we really need to be this cautious? That guy might not even be able to find us," the Demon Emperor said with a pout, seemingly unhappy about leaving Nanzhou City.
"Being careful is always good. As you said, if we shatter his soul mark, he will definitely sense it. I don't want to personally test the power of an imperial-level expert."
"Do as you wish. Anyway, I need some time to recover my cultivation. Finding a quiet place is good. It won't take long; at most six months, and I'll be able to protect myself."
"Alright, then we'll stay here for half a year. Once your cultivation is restored, we can leave." Ren Pingsheng nodded and took Yi Qingyi to find an inn to stay in.
"Ren Brother, can I go out to play?" After just sitting down and resting for a while, Yi Qingyi immediately jumped up and said.
"Go ahead, just don't get lost." After Yi Qingyi left, Ren Pingsheng gazed out the window, lost in thought.
"The Demon Emperor's cultivation will take half a year to recover to the sect level. During this time, my cultivation on the Demonic Path might advance further. That Demon God Heart, although it's a dangerous ticking time bomb, the energy inside can be utilized by me. In half a year, becoming a mid-level sect warrior isn't impossible."
"Once my cultivation breaks through, I'll challenge the Sword Trial Tower again; by then it will be about time to leave. I've already stayed here for almost four years. The journey back is long; I don't even know how long it will take to return to Snow State."
"Next, I should focus on breaking through!" Ren Pingsheng came back to his senses, sitting cross-legged on the bed. A strand of consciousness activated the Demon God Heart again, and he successfully entered the space of the Demon God Heart once more. It was still dark inside, with countless pure demonic energies swirling around.
As soon as Ren Pingsheng entered, these demonic energies immediately rushed towards him without him needing to absorb them painstakingly. However, in order to break through faster, he closed his eyes and began operating the Ancient Lan Divine Art to absorb and refine the demonic energy. The six-colored vortex in his Dantian became active again, spinning faster and faster.
Streams of demonic energy were drawn into the six-colored vortex and continuously refined until they condensed into drops of Demonic Essence that fell into the Magic Origin Pool below. Initially, there was only one part of Demonic Essence in the pool; now it began to increase gradually.
The demonic energy in the space of the Demon God Heart was extremely pure; it only took two rotations in the six-colored vortex to refine it into Demonic Essence very quickly. This must have been prepared for cultivating the Demon God Technique so that practitioners could grow rapidly.
In the following days, the three stayed in Star Moon City. Ren Pingsheng and the Demon Emperor spent their days in the inn; Ren Pingsheng continuously refined Demonic Essence while the Demon Emperor focused on recovering his cultivation. He had retained quite a bit of original demonic energy from his rebirth, which was purer energy that allowed him to recover his cultivation faster.
As for Yi Qingyi, she spent her days eating and playing in Star Moon City. Fortunately, she had achieved full sect-level cultivation; no one dared to mess with her.
At this time, nearly half a month had passed since the closure of the Azure Dragon Hall. During this period, discussions about the inheritance from Azure Dragon Hall occasionally sparked debates, especially regarding the emergence of imperial-level inheritances. The one mentioned most frequently was Seven Cleverness from Seven Cleverness Gate because she had obtained an imperial-level inheritance.
After merging with the imperial-level inheritance in Azure Dragon Hall, she successfully evolved an Artistic Conception into an essence. However, since Azure Dragon Hall required that one's highest cultivation level must not exceed sect level, her cultivation enhancement was suppressed as a result.
After she emerged, her cultivation level, originally at the Perfected Sect level, surprisingly advanced again, increasing her strength several times. Unfortunately, she did not become a Monarch-level powerhouse and could only be considered a Half-Step Monarch. This was because becoming a Monarch-level powerhouse required not only reaching a certain cultivation level but also comprehending the profound truths and evolving the sword momentum into sword intent.
Her cultivation barely reached the required level, and her profound truths had evolved, but unfortunately, she had not yet comprehended the sword intent. Thus, she remained stuck at the final hurdle. However, with the assistance of her inheritance, it was likely only a matter of time before she succeeded.
Even as a Half-Step Monarch, her strength was sufficient to dominate. Outside the Azure Dragon Palace, she fought fiercely, causing rivers of blood to flow and instilling fear in those martial artists who coveted the inheritance. In the end, they all fled in terror, abandoning their pursuit of the inheritance to save their lives.
This battle made all martial artists acutely aware of the terrifying power of inheritance. It could instantly elevate a person by several tiers and intensified their desire for such inheritances.
Of course, there were many inheritances emerging from the Azure Dragon Palace this time—around twenty to thirty royal-level inheritances and several imperial-level ones. This sparked greed among some martial artists, leading to continuous bloodshed. Even imperial-level powerhouses were beyond what many martial artists dared to imagine; obtaining such an inheritance left many feeling satisfied.
As for royal-level inheritances, given that they were at the Perfected Sect level, they should have been just one step away and thus not overly emphasized. However, unexpectedly, many still scrambled for them. It seemed that many lacked confidence in their own talents and did not believe they could become Monarch-level powerhouses.
In summary, the emergence of inheritances from the Azure Dragon Palace led to numerous deaths while also creating a batch of strong individuals. As for the three jade slips that initially appeared, no news had surfaced about them. It seemed that those who obtained them were keeping a low profile.
Months passed quickly, and the fervor surrounding the Azure Dragon Palace gradually calmed down. In Star Moon City, Ren Pingsheng continued his daily training and was getting closer to reaching the Intermediate Sect level.
In the Demon God's Heart space, he closed his eyes and absorbed the demonic energy. The Magic Origin Pool in his Dantian had slowly approached the center position; once Demonic Essence occupied half of the pool, it would signify his breakthrough to Intermediate Sect level.
During this time, the Demon Emperor's cultivation had also recovered significantly. Not long ago, he reached the Respect level; with some more time, recovering to Sect level would not be difficult.
"Finally going to break through; it hasn't been easy!" Ren Pingsheng sighed. He could hardly remember how much time had passed as demonic energy surged continuously in the Demon God's Heart space.
The six-colored vortex inside spun faster and faster as countless demonic energies flowed in and transformed into Demonic Essence that fell into the Magic Origin Pool. Now, Demonic Essence occupied half of the pool's space—double what it was before—and his strength had increased considerably.
"Ren Brother, you're out! It's been so long since I saw you; I've missed you!" Yi Qingyi, who had been idly sitting in her room, ran over joyfully upon seeing Ren Pingsheng.
"Haha, how long has it been?" Ren Pingsheng gently patted her head with a warm smile.
"It's been over five months! I've gotten bored playing alone during this time. Ren Brother, will you go out with me today? You haven't explored Star Moon City yet!"
"Alright then; I've been cooped up for so long too. I'll accompany you for a stroll." He shook his head with amusement at this little one who only knew how to play and eat. He truly wondered how she could be so carefree as if she had no worries at all.
After spending such a long time together, he gradually developed some reliance on her. Or perhaps it was just two lonely people leaning on each other; over time they would develop an indescribable bond. If he were to lose her now, he didn't know how he would cope—perhaps he would take a long time to adjust.
"Oh, your cultivation has reached Sect level; that's quite fast." A month later, when Ren Pingsheng saw that the Demon Emperor had exited seclusion and sensed his cultivation level, he smiled and said.
"Yes! If I seclude myself for a bit longer, I could recover to Perfected Sect level again; however, it's too boring now. My current cultivation is sufficient; I can take my time training later," the Demon Emperor replied with a smile while continuously stretching his muscles.
"Looks like you're quite satisfied with this body; you've fully integrated, haven't you?"
"That's right, it's completely integrated now; it's just like my own."
"That's good. In a couple of days, I'm planning to challenge the Sword Trial Tower. Do you want to come?" Ren Pingsheng asked.
"The Sword Trial Tower? Sure, it's a good opportunity to adapt to this body through battle. It's been quite dull these past six months," the Demon Emperor thought for a moment and agreed.
"Alright then, we'll go together. Maybe after we clear the Sword Trial Tower, I'll have to leave. Are you staying in the Southern Region or coming back with me?"
"I think I'll stay in the Southern Region. It's the most powerful of the Four Regions, and there are more opportunities and inheritances here. Perhaps once my cultivation recovers a bit more, I'll venture into the Central Domain. That's where the strongest and most prosperous talents and monsters of the entire continent gather," he said without hesitation.
"The Central Domain, huh? That's fine; with your experience, there's no need for anyone to worry," Ren Pingsheng nodded. He didn't insist on anything regarding this; since the Demon Emperor had been reborn, he would naturally have his own choices.
Two days later, Ren Pingsheng and the Demon Emperor took the teleportation array back to Nanzhou City. Without stopping, they headed straight for the Sword Trial Tower; their purpose this time was to challenge it.
"The Sword Sect, the Demon Sword Sect, the Fire Phoenix Sword Sect, the Heavenly Wind Blade Sect, and the Azure Dragon Martial Sect. Their progress is quite fast; they've already cleared it," Ren Pingsheng remarked as he looked at the Sword Sect rankings and Martial Arts Ranking with some admiration. It seemed that these people hadn't been idle over the past six months.
"My name will be on the Sword Sect rankings too," he murmured to himself before stepping forward and entering the Sword Trial Tower simultaneously with the Demon Emperor.
As they transitioned into a new space, they found themselves on the thirty-first floor of the Sword Trial Tower, which was designated for sect-level martial artists. Just like when they were at the respect-level realm, they would start challenging upwards from here, with rewards every ten floors. If they could clear up to the sixth ten floors, they would obtain legendary inheritances.
