Lingfeng was being polite to them, but in reality, he was deliberately setting them up. They had no idea that the Master of the Demon Cult was secretly listening to their conversation.
"Just know that, and from now on, behave yourself so you don't drag us down!" Ke Zhan said.
"Who is dragging you down?" Master of the Demon Cult suddenly interjected, clearly displeased with Ke Zhan's attitude regarding the search for Lingfeng.
Everyone was startled, especially Ke Zhan, whose face turned ashen. Lingfeng secretly chuckled but pretended to be surprised.
"Uh, Master of the Demon Cult, I..." Ke Zhan stammered and fell silent.
Only then did Master of the Demon Cult slowly step out from the shadows. His already grim face was now shrouded in an even darker aura, making him appear more menacing.
"Are you dissatisfied with me?" Master of the Demon Cult asked calmly.
"I didn't mean that!" Ke Zhan quickly knelt down, looking terrified and pitifully at Master of the Demon Cult.
"Then why are you complaining?" Master of the Demon Cult pressed further.
This time, Ke Zhan had nothing to say and could only lower his head in reluctant acknowledgment, "It is my fault; please forgive me, Master!"
"Forgive?" Master of the Demon Cult sneered. "If I forgive you this time, will I have to forgive others next time?"
The others were trembling with fear since they had also been part of the earlier discussion. Seeing that Ke Zhan was about to be punished, none dared to step forward to plead for him.
Master of the Demon Cult scanned everyone coldly and said, "Considering your injuries, I will punish you with five iron rods!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ke Zhan was pinned to the ground by Master of the Demon Cult's overwhelming presence, leaving him no room to resist; besides, he didn't dare to fight back.
The hall echoed with Ke Zhan's cries, and no one dared to look. With each strike, everyone's hearts seemed to flip over—not out of sympathy for Ke Zhan, but from fear of Master of the Demon Cult.
The five strikes were completed in no time. Coupled with his previous injuries, Ke Zhan was now completely unable to get up. However, no one dared to help him because Master of the Demon Cult had not yet left.
Master of the Demon Cult sighed deeply and looked at Ke Zhan lying on the ground. He said, "Although the Spirit Sect has different goals from other cultivation sects, it also aims to Dominate the Three Realms. To Dominate the Three Realms, we need everyone to work together. If you cannot unite, it will be difficult to rule the Cultivation Realm in the future, and the desire of the demon god to Dominate the Three Realms may also be shattered!"
Lingfeng was silent. After arriving at the Mandala Demon Realm, it was the first time he heard about their ambition to Dominate the Three Realms. Initially, after a short period of interaction, Lingfeng had a very good impression of them, especially that beautiful Assassin Hall Master. Ever since she mentioned benefiting humanity, his impression of her had improved even more. However, now the words of Master of the Demon Cult felt like a bucket of cold water poured over his heart.
The other disciples also remained silent, bowing their heads without speaking.
After saying a few more words, Master of the Demon Cult noticed that Lingfeng was not listening. After a while, he turned and went upstairs, while the other disciples hurriedly helped Ke Zhan up.
Ke Zhan grimaced, pain clearly visible on his face.
Lingfeng sighed and did not pay attention to Ke Zhan's complicated expression. At that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for Ke Zhan. After a moment of silence, he took out a Jade Dew Protection Pill from his pocket and handed it to Ke Zhan, sincerely saying, "Senior Brother, I mean no offense; please forgive me. This pill may not be as good as Flower Essence, but it has excellent healing effects for external injuries. Take it to avoid suffering so much!"
Ke Zhan was taken aback and hesitated to accept the Jade Dew Protection Pill. Although he saw that Lingfeng looked sincere, he had already gained some understanding of Lingfeng's character in such a short time. Moreover, given their previous conflicts, Ke Zhan had been harboring resentment.
Feeling quite complicated, Lingfeng noticed that Ke Zhan did not accept it and directly placed the Jade Dew Protection Pill in his hand before turning to leave.
The Spirit Sect did not have any places for disciples to relax because they emphasized cultivating their endurance. After walking around the courtyard, Lingfeng returned to the now-ash-covered Scarecrow Field, which he had burned down.
Looking at the messy site, Lingfeng felt a surge of emotions.
"Why are you here?" Just then, during this moment of solitude, the gentle voice of the Assassin Hall Master came from behind him.
Turning around, Lingfeng saw her smiling kindly at him, which brought him some peace.
"Oh, it's nothing; I just feel a bit stifled!" he forced out an awkward smile and replied honestly.
The Assassin Hall Master sighed lightly and sat down beside him without restraint. After a moment of silence, she said, "Actually, we all feel quite stifled; we just got used to it. When we first entered the Spirit Sect, we were even more uncomfortable than you. For such a long time now, hardly anyone from the Spirit Sect has been able to ascend to the Immortal Realm or Demon Realm!"
"What?" Lingfeng was quite surprised. In his view, there were many experts in the Spirit Sect, and he had witnessed the abilities of the Spirit Priest. If no one had succeeded in their cultivation for such a long time, Lingfeng really found it hard to believe.
"According to the Spirit Priest's explanation, the Demon Realm currently needs a large number of people in the human world. Therefore, apart from those who die in battle, almost no one can truly achieve complete cultivation!"
The Assassin Hall Master seemed helpless about this situation, showing a look of frustration on his face.
"I don't understand. Why does the Demon Realm want to dominate the Three Realms? Isn't it fine for the Three Realms to continue as they are? Why must they be at odds with the upper powers?" Lingfeng took the opportunity to ask.
However, the Assassin Hall Master shook his head. "The laws are different. In some versions, after Pangu opened up the land, the chaotic Three Realms were first ruled by the Demon Gods. It was only later that Chiyou was defeated, leading to the rule of the Celestial Realm over the Three Realms. In another version, Pangu, who opened up the land, was originally a Demon God but handed over the Three Realms to be governed by the Celestial beings, thus separating the Demon Gods from the Celestial Realm."
"So, the Demon Realm wants to take back the Three Realms?" Lingfeng hurriedly said.
The Assassin Hall Master nodded. "These are just rumors; I don't know the true facts. However, it is indeed true that the Demon Realm wants to dominate the Three Realms." After saying this, he sighed softly and looked into the distance with a sense of melancholy. "In truth, I don't care who dominates the Three Realms. What I want is simply to live my life peacefully. If I could achieve complete cultivation and ascend to either the Celestial or Demon Realm, I would be very happy. But here, I can only watch as humanity suffers, feeling restless and uneasy inside. That feeling is truly unbearable!"
The Assassin Hall Master's words moved Lingfeng. Looking at her fair face, he felt an impulse to kiss her.
Thus, they remained silent for a long time before returning to the Spirit Sect.
The next day, Lingfeng still got up on time with help from a Major Servant and took some time to practice the Falling Leaf Technique. Feeling that his body had mostly recovered, he finally went downstairs.
Ke Zhan's injuries seemed to have improved significantly as he sat quietly eating below. Upon seeing Lingfeng come down, he showed no reaction and appeared to have temporarily ceased his hostility towards Lingfeng.
After finishing their meal, the Master of the Demon Cult instructed everyone to practice on their own and then called Lingfeng upstairs to impart cultivation methods to him.
In fact, the cultivation methods were not very difficult; they were quite similar to those used in celestial cultivation. Moreover, since Lingfeng already had a foundation in celestial cultivation, he quickly grasped the methods of Demon Cultivation.
The Master of the Demon Cult was astonished by Lingfeng's ability to comprehend quickly. Watching as purple aura swirled around Lingfeng's body, he was left speechless and secretly regarded Lingfeng as someone extraordinary. In reality, he had no idea that Lingfeng already possessed a foundation in cultivation; thus, once he learned the methods of Demon Cultivation, remembering them came effortlessly.
In the room of the Master of the Demon Cult, Lingfeng slowly transformed the True Qi within him into Spiritual Energy, feeling a sense of fullness he had never experienced before. At this moment, he felt a strong urge to practice the Falling Leaf Technique. However, being in the Mandala Demon Realm, he could not easily display his cultivation level.
The methods of Demon Cultivation seemed to allow Lingfeng to thrive; he remained in a meditative state throughout the night.
The Master of the Demon Cult looked at Lingfeng's calm face and found an unprecedented sense of stability within himself. Previously, Ke Zhan was his most promising disciple. Although Ke Zhan cultivated in the Demon Cultivation Hall, it was merely because his aptitude was slightly higher than others. But now, seeing Lingfeng was like a tomb raider opening the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, revealing treasures.
Lingfeng sat in meditation for an entire night while the Master of the Demon Cult stood by, watching him. As dawn approached, Lingfeng finally felt that his internal energy had reached saturation and awakened from his meditative state.
“How do you feel?” The Master of the Demon Cult asked eagerly when he saw Lingfeng open his eyes.
Lingfeng slowly circulated his energy, compressing the newly generated Spiritual Energy within his Dantian, and replied, “I feel very full and powerful!”
“That’s right!” The Master of the Demon Cult nodded and continued, “As a beginner, it’s impressive that you were able to replenish your internal needs in just one night. If you reach our level of cultivation, you will need to meditate every day to gradually fill any gaps within your body!”
Lingfeng secretly chuckled to himself, thinking that he had been practicing Demon Cultivation for quite some time; he just hadn’t formally entered the Demonic Path yet. Therefore, according to normal methods of Demon Cultivation, Lingfeng would not have been able to timely replenish his Spiritual Energy. However, let’s not forget that during the second assassination attempt on Azure Vine, Lingfeng inadvertently obtained a large amount of Spiritual Energy from that Demon State Assassin.
Fortunately for him, Lingfeng contained a substantial amount of Spiritual Energy within him, which was mistakenly regarded as talent by the Master of the Demon Cult. Naturally, Lingfeng felt quite pleased with himself.
“Having Demonic Energy within you but not utilizing it is just wasting time.” After a pause, the Master of the Demon Cult added, “The token given to you by the Vice Hall Master is a pass for the entire Spirit Sect. You can go anywhere you wish except for the back areas like Demon Spirit Mountain and Treasure Pavilion, including the Scripture Pavilion!”
