Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

She clenched her teeth, yet she still followed behind on her cloud.

...

Deep within the Thousand Demon Cave.

The old dog lay on the futon beneath the statue of the Ancestor, its eyes having not closed for many days.

It needed to sense the moment the Spirit Emperor breached the seal.

Then strike and slaughter the adversary.

This bloodline-terrifying phoenix demon was not something an ordinary disciple of the Nanyang Sect like it could subdue; it had to be strangled in its infancy.

However, just like the cultivators outside, the demons dare not open the Sect Gate Grand Array.

On this matter, it, this genuine Nanyang Sect disciple, had actually reached a consensus with a bunch of monstrous creatures.

It was at this moment.

Zhang Laifu suddenly perked up his ears, looking towards the outside of the grand hall.

The next moment, more bloodshot lines appeared in its muddy eyes and its expression became fierce, "How dare you?!"

Such a mix of auras, from Cultivating Essence to Divinity Transformation, and even Yin Gods.

They had just so brazenly stepped into the inner gates of the Nanyang Sect!

Without presenting a visiting card, without announcing to the Ancestor, a group of mortals treated this immortal land as if it was their own backyard!

"Do you think Zhang's claws are not sharp enough?"

The old dog abruptly turned and strode towards the outside of the grand hall, the iron chain around its neck dragging and rattling on the ground.

It smelled that familiar scent.

It was that youth who, after taking a swipe from its claw, managed to barely survive thanks to the Nanyang Sect's vestment robe and then had the audacity not to flee but pilfer the Spirit Plant Garden for himself.

Perhaps it was because of that encounter that the youth completely lost his awe and dared to come and invade again with a big group of people.

He deserved to be killed!

Zhang Laifu stepped out of the front hall and took another half step.

In that instant, he caught sight of the iron chain on the ground from the corner of his eye.

Where were the Returned Void cultivators from Wutong Mountain, where was the Dao Plate... it knew nothing.

This grand invasion with such momentum.

It meant that the demons it had nurtured had all died, including the phoenix demon?

Had the Returned Void Cultivator from Wutong Mountain taken action? Or was there another Returned Void in the world?

"Lure the tiger away from the mountain, lure the tiger away from the mountain."

The old dog paced back and forth, forcibly suppressing the urge to kill within its heart.

It was no longer the young spiritual hound of the past, its progress stalled for so many years, causing its body to grow increasingly frail.

It could not crush those fellow cultivators of the same realm as effortlessly as before.

"Villains!"

Zhang Laifu calmed its breathing; it absolutely could not be fooled.

After so many years of effort, the countless souls gathered beneath its claws, nurturing numerous demons, all were to protect the sect's heritage.

To make amends for the spiritual medicines it greedily consumed back then.

Yet these despicable mortals kept trying to spoil its great plan.

Perhaps it was for this reason that the Ancestor had been slow to forgive itself.

With these thoughts.

Zhang Laifu returned to the futon and muttered under its breath, "Disciple vows that when the time is right, I will personally eradicate these invading villains and reclaim our sect's treasures."

Having said that, it closed its eyes once more, beginning to conserve energy and build strength.

...

"What place is this?"

Li Qingfeng looked curiously at the light barrier before him.

Those with lower cultivation levels had almost all stayed at the periphery of the Thousand Demon Cave; logically, he should have stayed outside as well but he had shamelessly managed to follow along.

After asking, he waited for a while without a response.

Turning around in suspicion, Li Qingfeng found Nie Shixiong silently staring at that light barrier, his eyes filled with reminiscence.

He suddenly realized something, "Is this the Law Storage Pavilion?"

Nie Jun still did not speak, slowly closing his eyes.

This was the most dangerous and thrilling scene he had ever experienced. Unfortunately, after escaping from this place, there had been no similar opportunities.

When he set foot in this place again.

Nie Jun suddenly felt his blood begin to boil once more.

He had finally returned here.

"Hu."

Nie Jun didn't move forward but looked towards the depths of the Thousand Demon Cave.

After who knows how long, there was still no response from that direction.

Previously, there were a whole ten Great Demon Emperors here; he could directly break in and then realize the Dao Palace amidst the desperation, succeeding in escaping.

Now the entire Thousand Demon Cave had become one vast emptiness.

But he was held back by the shackles in his heart at the entrance.

He was always torn between the choices of his master and Shen Yi, forgetting which path suited him best.

He himself was a Sword Cultivator who had been proven through combat.

It wasn't until he truly entered that he realized it wasn't as scary as he had imagined. The old dog of rumor was indeed formidable, but it also knew fear.

Nie Jun reached out towards the light barrier, his hand halfway through, he slowly lowered it.

He had originally thought about looking at the Law Storage Pavilion once more, to try and unravel the knot in his heart, but now he realized there was no need.

At that moment, the sky surged with wind and cloud.

Purple Sky Divine Thunder exploded with a roar!

Swords hung suspended in the air, chains rolling incessantly amongst them, and on the majestic throne, the sharpest of swords revealed its true form.

Divinity Transformation complete.

Nie Jun's aura soared, yet it did not cease.

He spread his palm, and a pebble emitting a ghostly light suddenly rose into the air!

The stone ascended to the throne, approaching the sword, finally becoming the Precious Jade inlaid on the hilt.

Nearly simultaneously.

The Purple Sky Divine Thunder Sword Palace seemed to completely detach from the world, being engraved with Nie Jun's unique aura.

Turning the intangible into the tangible.

In the sky, a massive, palpable Sword Palace appeared!

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Li Qingfeng gave himself several hard slaps, his eyes round as he stared at the sky, the bottleneck that had blocked Nie Shixiong for so many years, after just a stroll in the Thousand Demon Cave, had it truly been broken?
