Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 424 Enter
After familiarizing himself with the details of the place, the Xuan Turtle began to deduce without making a sound, and found that the details of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave were indeed impossible to calculate, as if the secrets of heaven were blocked.

Of course, it's more likely that this place involves an ancient emperor, thus having a profound karmic connection. Its extraordinary scale is something he truly cannot deduce.

However, the black tortoise still vaguely sensed that this place might be connected to him.

Although Li Huang was a disciple of Lingbao Tianzun and had been in seclusion on Yuhua Divine Island for a long time, Xuan Gui was born too late and therefore knew nothing about these matters.

If he knew everything about Jade Flower Divine Island and the Power Emperor, he naturally wouldn't be surprised. But now he doesn't even know that the scriptures he cultivates come from the Celestial Venerable Lingbao, nor does he even know the Celestial Venerable Lingbao's name.

So, the Black Tortoise said nothing more and followed the White Tiger toward the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.

As more and more demons gathered, Xuan Turtle couldn't help but marvel. Although most of these demons were not as good as him and Baihu, there were still many experts among them.

However, upon arriving at this place, all the ferocious and strange beasts transformed into human form, abandoning their original appearances. After all, the space here was limited and could not accommodate so many people.

Of course, there are also many demons who have always maintained human form.

Although the Xuan Turtle had never transformed into human form before, it posed no difficulty for him. Thus, he instantly transformed into a young man with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a square face.

Baihu's appearance is much better; he is a handsome young man with white hair.

Among this group of demons who had transformed into human form and had various appearances, the two of them were inconspicuous.

Following the gaze of all the demons, the Xuan Turtle saw the stone mountain in the distance, as well as the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.

The Cave of Ten Thousand Demons has no special aura and looks like an ordinary cave, but its entrance is incredibly deep and dark, and no amount of light can illuminate it.

Before it was opened, this place was a completely desolate wilderness, showing no signs of anything extraordinary.

The Black Tortoise asked softly, "Brother Tiger, when will the Ten Thousand Demon Cave open?"

Baihu didn't lower his voice, but said frankly, "Better late than early, it's almost here."

The black tortoise continued, "Are there any rules or customs once we enter?"

The white tiger said, "It wasn't there after we went in, but it was there before we went in."

The black tortoise asked, "What are the customs? Is some kind of token required?"

The White Tiger smiled and said, "It's very simple. When the great formation is activated in a moment, a tremendous pressure will descend, which is the first level of the trial. As long as we can withstand the pressure and enter before the thousand participants are reached, we'll be fine."

The black tortoise said, "Do they kill each other just to reduce competitors and establish their authority?"

Baihu said, "That's right, my brother, you guessed correctly. The fewer participants there are, the higher their chances of getting in; and if they make a name for themselves, they can also prevent other demons from blocking their way."

Xuan Gui suddenly realized, but couldn't help feeling a little regretful. He should have gone with Bai Hu to fight a few demons and establish their prestige.

But it doesn't matter, since he has some confidence in his abilities.

Soon, a divine light shone within the Demon Cave, and countless portals instantly appeared from the dark entrance, neatly arranged in the air. There were a total of one thousand portals.

At the same time, countless array patterns lit up, extending from the cave entrance to a large surrounding area, spreading a terrifying pressure.

Even without actually entering, many cultivators were intimidated and chose to give up. The Black Tortoise said, "Brother Tiger, should we leave directly or..."

Before he could finish speaking, the white tiger let out a long roar and said loudly, "All the inheritances in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave belong to my brother and me. Those who know what's good for them should leave as soon as possible. I have always preferred peace and have no intention of creating unnecessary bloodshed."

“But my brother is different. If you block his way, he will kill any god or Buddha who gets in his way. You bunch of rabble are probably no match for him.”

After saying that, he strode into the area and walked toward one of the doors.

Xuan Gui was stunned upon hearing this. Before he could react, many demon cultivators in the area turned their auras toward him, wanting to test his strength and even try to humiliate him.

The Xuan Turtle instinctively released its aura to resist, and instantly a torrent of qi and blood surged out, directly suppressing this area of ​​demons.

But even this one moment shocked all the demon cultivators, including the White Tiger. After all, this aura was probably no more powerful than that of an ancient prince.

Xuan Turtle looked at the various gazes cast upon him by the demons—awe, fear, fighting spirit, and deep-seated malice. He immediately sensed something was wrong; after all, he had now become the scapegoat.

He immediately chuckled and said, "I was just joking. I've always been kind to others and never kill. I have great respect for you all and have absolutely no intention of being hostile."

But the fact that more and more auras were directed at him showed that no demon trusted him. After all, his aura was too powerful, making him a formidable opponent to everyone.

The White Tiger didn't hesitate any longer; instead, he seized the opportunity and rushed into one of the portals. He became the first one.

As a small and insignificant demon cultivator, Baihu has made many enemies and offended many powerful clans. Recently, he has been living a precarious life and has almost no way out.

Those demon cultivators who manage to pass through the Demon Cave will become core seeds that the demon race will focus on cultivating. With this identity, they will be able to save themselves.

Therefore, the moment he saw the Xuan Turtle, he conceived a plan to use it to attract attention while he disguised himself and sneaked in. However, he hadn't expected the Xuan Turtle to be far stronger than he had imagined.

However, this also made it easier for him to succeed.

The situation instantly erupted into chaos, with countless demon cultivators vying for the limited spots available at those sects. The Xuan Turtle was no exception.

But soon he discovered that countless cultivators were openly and secretly hindering his progress. Under their combined attack, even with his great strength, he could not remain unaffected.

Seeing this, the Xuan Turtle sighed softly. He had never liked being high-profile, but now, he had no other choice.

Therefore, the Xuan Turtle made a direct and fierce move, transforming into a streak of light and charging wildly, attacking those who blocked or targeted him.

Given his strength, no one except the most powerful cultivators could stop him. Therefore, many demon cultivators had their bodies shattered and nearly lost their lives during this process.

Although he didn't intentionally kill, he didn't hold back either. Therefore, he quickly fought his way through and reached the gates.

This process terrified countless demons, who dared not approach the route he had taken.

Although the Xuan Turtle's progress was slowed down by these demons, he eventually succeeded in entering the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.

Of course, this was also because the strongest prodigies didn't intervene. After all, in the eyes of cultivators with an invincible heart, these methods were unnecessary and unorthodox approaches.

What followed were endless trials.
