It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

To learn more, you must personally venture into the demon realm.

Only the demon race truly understands the demon race!

This time, you didn't hesitate at all. Following the token that Peony had left for you, you successfully found the passage into the demon realm.

[However, this time you didn't enter the tunnel, but instead tried to open up a new route outside of it.]

Unfortunately, before you could even make a move, a powerful force pulled you in.

By the time you realized it, you had already passed through the passage to the demon realm and entered its interior.

You carefully observed your surroundings. Having learned something before, you knew clearly that everything in the demon realm was under the control of the Demon King.

[Previously, as a Golden Core cultivator, you were able to appear before Xi Meng instantly because of her control.]

[This time, as you enter the demon realm, you will most likely face the same situation. Xi Meng knows you've already entered.]

However, you weren't too worried, and instead leisurely searched for your target in the demon realm.

Perhaps Ximeng also wants to know why you came in.

However, after searching around, you didn't get the information you wanted. Those weak demons don't have much impact on the demon realm.

They can only accept change.

Even those demons at the Nascent Soul stage still didn't understand what the core of the demon realm truly was.

You suddenly realize that perhaps only the Demon King and the demon race capable of opposing him can truly influence the demon realm.

Only they are qualified to know the true nature of the demon realm.

[However, taking action within the demon realm would be far too challenging for you; one wrong move and you'd be attacked by the entire demon race.]

You wanted to find out about the relevant demon race and then try to ambush them outside the demon realm, but you quickly realized that this option wasn't realistic.

After much deliberation, you finally gave up and tried to leave the demon race.

"How interesting. He's only just entered the early stage of the Fusion Realm, yet he dares to directly enter the Demon Realm. I really don't know where he gets his courage and confidence."

Xi Meng watched Zhang Yang's every move.

Just as he had guessed, the entire demon realm was under the control of the Demon King. Except for a small part of the core demon territory, the Demon King was able to notice everything that happened.

In other words, the moment Zhang Yang chose to infiltrate the demon realm, Xi Meng had already detected his whereabouts.

"I can't let the tools I finally found be wasted here."

Xi Meng waved her hand, and the power within the hall flowed, the scene changed, and then locked onto Zhang Yang.

You notice something has changed around you. Before you can react, everything in front of you has already changed.

You gaze silently at Xi Meng on the throne; you had anticipated this scene the moment you infiltrated.

Xi Meng remained silent, simply gazing at you, and a tacit, peaceful understanding settled between you.

Finally, it was you who couldn't hold back any longer and asked the question you had asked before.

Why did Xi Meng choose a human cultivator to train as an assassin to kill her?

Xi Meng simply smiled and didn't answer. Perhaps at this moment, she finally understood your purpose in infiltrating.

You're threatening that if I don't tell you, you can choose to rebel and not keep your agreement with her.

From your perspective, Xi Meng doesn't seem to have done anything detrimental to human cultivators.

[You are not someone without judgment, and besides, since the Golden Core stage, the other party has consistently assigned Peony to your side, and various resources have never ceased to be provided.]

By any measure, Ximeng has done you a great favor.

[You will personally settle accounts with the demon race that wiped out the Daoist sect back then, but strictly speaking, Xi Meng, in a way, helped you avenge your sect.]

If you cannot ascertain the truth behind the other party's plan, you will be unable to resolutely help her complete it, no matter what.

"Humans are really troublesome. If it were the demon race, they probably wouldn't have to consider so many things."

Xi Meng looked at Zhang Yang helplessly. He had grown up so quickly, which was something Xi Meng had not expected.

Even though Zhang Yang's previous talent was already top-notch, the difficulty of crossing the Nascent Soul stage to enter the Integration stage was extraordinary.

Zhang Yang, in particular, entered the Dao through his body, and with his pursuit of the perfection of his soul, the difficulty of entering the Integration Stage far exceeds that of ordinary body cultivators.

Even so, with only limited help from himself, he still managed to cross the threshold.

Even on the day of her breakthrough, Xi Meng was still able to sense the commotion coming from the outside world, even though she was in the demon realm.

A thunder tribulation far exceeding that of ordinary body cultivators, along with a blessing rainbow stretching across the sky—such a cultivator is rare even in the memories of the demon race.

“This isn’t a problem; it’s that I have the right to know the truth. If you don’t tell me, I’ll investigate myself. Of course, I can’t beat you right now, so you can consider imprisoning me.”

Zhang Yang's gaze was calm, as if he could accept any option.

He knew Xi Meng well enough not to impose any restrictions on him. If she really wanted to, she would have done so back when he spoke out against her.

"I never imagined that one day a demon king would have to explain his plans to a human of lowly strength."

Xi Meng stared at Zhang Yang, her face expressionless.

"so what?"

"I will tell you the real plan when you are able to beat me. No matter how many times you ask before that, I will never tell you."

"Alright! You said it yourself! It only took me a few short years to go from the Golden Core stage to the Body Integration stage. Catching up with you shouldn't take much longer either."

Zhang Yang's expression was full of confidence. The Demon King was most likely at the late stage of the Fusion Realm. If he was at the Perfect Fusion Realm, then she wouldn't need to exert so much effort to suppress the demon race; she could simply crush him.

Although every step during the fusion period is like climbing to the heavens.

But Zhang Yang had already broken through the heavens before, so this challenge was no problem for him.

"Don't speak too confidently. In my opinion, you're just a body cultivator who doesn't use his brain much. It's too easy to control you."

Xi Meng simply raised her hand, and the hall where they were suddenly transformed. When they turned around, they were already standing in the wilderness.

Even though Xi Meng stood in front of Zhang Yang, his gaze remained blank as he stared ahead, because what Zhang Yang saw at that moment was not Xi Meng, but a vast palace with no end in sight.

Inside the main hall, Zhang Yang knew he had fallen into a trap.

No matter how hard he tried to break through, he could not leave the palace grounds.

"I told you long ago, you still have a long way to go."

Xi Meng's figure also appeared in the main hall. To defeat the Demon King in the Demon Realm, one must not only be invincible among those of the same level, but also avoid some traps.

If you relax even slightly, it will be impossible to defeat her.

The reason Xi Meng was able to cause the previous demon king's sudden death was because she shared the same origin.

With Zhang Yang's current strength, even if Xi Meng deliberately held back, he still wouldn't be able to kill her.

"I just need some time."

"Whatever you want, there's still plenty of time, you can do whatever you want."

In the scenario that Xi Meng foresaw, the time when the demon realm would collapse was still far off. As long as the demon realm was sealed off before that time, there was a high probability that the demon realm could be preserved.

[This encounter with Xi Meng, although you are stronger, has also given you a deeper understanding of the Demon King's power.]

Even if you possess absolute power against someone in the early stages of the Fusion Realm, you are still utterly powerless against the Demon King.

[You have returned to the Xiaoyun Sect once again. The two sect leaders were both surprised and somewhat helpless by your appearance.]

But they didn't mean to push you away.

Upon learning the reason for your return, they looked slightly shocked.

Even if the two of them were to fight you one-on-one without utilizing the mountain gate's grand formation, they wouldn't be able to easily gain the upper hand.

And now, the first thing you do upon returning is to challenge them to a duel.

Logically, if you were involved in a battle outside, it should have caused some commotion. But during this time, the world has been unusually peaceful. They simply cannot imagine where you are or what has triggered this disturbance.

Soon, the two sect leaders' leisurely days were gone forever.

You spar with one of them almost every one or two days.

For cultivators, whose lifespans are so long, it's almost as if they've just stopped, and then it begins again.

At first, the two sect leaders were able to handle it calmly, but they soon noticed your progress.

Although his skill level hasn't changed, his combat abilities have indeed improved by leaps and bounds.

[In less than three months, you've already forced the two sect leaders to use their magical treasures.]

Using the mountain gate's grand formation was their bottom line.

They've already made up their minds that even if you defeat them head-on, they absolutely cannot use the mountain-protecting formation.

After all, that was their last shred of dignity.

In less than six months, you went from struggling to keep up to being evenly matched with the two sect leaders.

Although you don't possess any magical treasures, as a body cultivator, every part of your body is a magical treasure.

[Until one day, during a sparring session with the sect leader, you unexpectedly broke through his defenses, leaving a shallow scar on his body.]

Immediately afterwards, the other side immediately ceased hostilities.

When you try to continue, the other person, claiming they can't beat you, pushes you away.

[After tormenting you for half a year, the two sect leaders have finally decided to send you out to harm others.]

The reasons they gave sounded quite reasonable.

To continuously grow stronger, you must learn from the strengths of many. If you only spar with those two, you'll only become proficient in fighting those two.

Although you feel you are still no match for the two sect leaders, they are unwilling to continue sparring with you, leaving you with no choice but to leave and go to another sect.

"Brother, how long will it last after we send him away this time?"

"I don't know, but at least for a while, things will be better."

For about six months, the two of them were like shop assistants. Whenever Zhang Yang, the shopkeeper, asked them to come to work, they had to go.

Clearly, the two of them are the sect leaders, so why does it seem like the situation is reversed when it comes to Zhang Yang?

"Forget it, since we've already sent him out to cause trouble for others, it's time for his colleagues to know about this kid."

The deputy sect leader was completely relaxed. His idea of ​​putting on a show and then sending the person away was truly ingenious.
