Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

Bai Jing stood in front of the palace, her frenzy somewhat subsided.

She reached out and touched the stone pillar, then gently tapped it twice. The stone made a deep, muffled sound, as if it were truly a naturally formed stone.

"The Heavenly Laws and Decrees truly live up to their reputation."

She unusually refrained from making sarcastic remarks. "I've heard that once this secret technique is mastered to perfection, one can make their words come true within a small area. It seems that's no exaggeration."

They are all secret disciples of the dominant forces, possessing a wide variety of methods and techniques. Although she has the highest cultivation level, high cultivation level does not necessarily mean the strongest combat power.

Anyone who underestimates these two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators will likely suffer a great loss.

The three entered the hall and took their seats. Tianhao took out the tea set, his movements unhurried and deliberate.

Bai Jing glanced at the tea set with disdain, then pulled out a white bone gourd from her waist, uncorked it, and a fragrant aroma of blood wine wafted out. She tilted her head back and took a swig.

Tianhao shook his head and took out a small pinch of tea leaves from his storage bag. The leaves were dark green with fine silver patterns on the surface, and they emitted a wonderful fragrance as soon as they were taken out.

Bai Jing put down the gourd and immediately came over, staring intently at the teapot in Tian Hao's hand, a glint of light flashing in her scarlet pupils.

"Hey, pretty boy, what kind of tea is that?"

"Give me a drink."

"The blood wine you just drank probably suits your taste better."

Bai Jing neatly and efficiently put the white bone gourd into her storage bag.

"I'm tired of drinking that stuff every day. Fourth-grade spiritual tea is incredibly rare. You, the dignified Holy Son of Tianhao, wouldn't be so stingy, would you?"

Tianhao glanced at her.

This person was just calling him a pretty boy, but now, just to get a free cup of tea, their way of addressing him has changed.

The speed of their attitude change is exemplary; they are all about being flexible and adaptable.

He didn't say anything, but poured another cup and handed it to him.

Bai Jing took it with both hands, held it in her palms, first brought it to her nose and took a deep breath, then sipped it little by little.

His movements were surprisingly elegant, completely different from the person who had just been wielding a scythe made of bones.

-----

After the small talk, the three began to discuss the important matter: how to deal with the young Hou.

Tianhao, as the initiator, began assigning roles: Baijing was responsible for directly blocking Hou's attacks, Tianhao was responsible for restraining and limiting them, and Lin Zhao was the main attacker.

Bai Jing immediately objected: "So you're making me a human shield?"

Tianhao remained expressionless and began to shower Tianhao with praise.

It is said that Bai Jing has the highest cultivation level and the strongest combat power. It is also said that Bai Jing has refined the three kinds of original demonic energy of the Nine Nether Demon Sect. Even if a Nascent Soul True Monarch personally takes action, he cannot do anything to her.

With her in front of them, no matter how powerful the Hou is, it can't turn the world upside down.

Bai Jing was overjoyed by the praise; she wouldn't even glance at an ordinary cultivator praising her.

However, Tianhao is the recognized holy son of the Tianlu Divine Sect, the number one overlord force in the Cangyuan cultivation world.

Sitting next to him was another unfathomable secret disciple of the Cangming Sect.

In essence, both of these forces are far stronger than the Nine Nether Demon Sect.

She's finally living a good life. Two holy sons-level figures are supporting her. She can go back and tell her sect members that she's got a lot to brag about.

"OK!"

Bai Jing readily agreed, "I, your grandma, will stand in front and see what that beast can do to me."

Tianhao smiled.

Lin Zhao watched from the side, her eyes filled with surprise.

This White Bone Saintess doesn't seem to be particularly intelligent. After all, she's the Saintess of the Nine Nether Demon Sect, yet she was easily fooled by just a few words.

Bai Jing naturally noticed their expressions.

She nonchalantly picked up the bottle, took a swig of the blood wine, and revealed two sharp teeth: "I know your tricks, you're using me as a pawn, but I'm willing."

She leaned back in her chair, her tone casual and insightful: "A demon is one who acts recklessly and arbitrarily, and who is obsessed with something."

Lin Zhao roughly understood; this was probably a cultivation method of the demonic path.

Indulging desires, not being bound by rules, going against the laws of nature and humanity, doing whatever one pleases, and having unfettered thoughts.

Of course, continuing down this path makes it easy to be plotted against and die out there.

But the demonic path doesn't care about these dangers. If you want peace and quiet, don't choose the demonic path.

Only those who can survive and continue on such a dangerous and terrifying path are the true masters.

Bai Jing suddenly became interested when Tian Hao mentioned the demonic energy of the Nine Nether Demon Sect.

She put down the gourd, leaned forward, and began to explain with great interest the ten most famous primordial demonic energies of the Nine Nether Demon Sect.

Each wisp of demonic energy is equivalent to a fourth-tier spiritual object, and it can take on countless forms.

Demonic energy can be materialized to aid in advancing to the Nascent Soul stage; it can also be transformed into energy to be integrated into magical artifacts to enhance their rank.

They can also use demonic energy to cultivate corresponding techniques and secret arts, or even directly condense a clone.

This demonic energy was not naturally formed; it was created by the Nine Nether Demonic Sect using great supernatural powers and at a great cost—the ten primordial demonic energies.

Every wisp of primordial demonic energy is created from the piles of countless cultivators' corpses.

She excitedly held up three fingers, "I have fused three primordial demonic energies—the White Bone Demonic Energy, the Heavenly Nether Demonic Energy, and the Destruction Demonic Energy."

With a flick of her finger, a white, bone-colored demonic energy surged from her hand, condensing into a bone spur in her palm.

The bone spikes hovered in mid-air, constantly changing shape—first a dagger, then a shield, then a bone bird about to take flight, and finally a bone needle, as thin as a hair, its sharpness fully revealed.

"The White Bone Demonic Energy is primarily for shaping. It can transform into all things, and can be both hard and soft, combining offense and defense."

She moved her fingers again, and black demonic energy surged forth. The bone needle was enveloped in the gray-black demonic energy and vanished from its spot.

The next instant, it appeared beside a pillar at the other end of the hall, silently embedded in the stone.

"The Heavenly Nether Demonic Qi, which governs the main space, combined with the White Bone Demonic Qi, can attack across space, making it impossible to defend against."

She retracted the bone spur, and a third surge of demonic energy erupted—a dark, destructive demonic energy.

As soon as the demonic energy of destruction appeared, fine cracks appeared on the teacups on the stone table, as if they had been destroyed by some invisible force.

Bai Jing did not unleash the destructive demonic energy attack; instead, she let it swirl around her fingertips for three breaths before withdrawing it.

"Destruction Demonic Energy is the master of destruction, a pure and absolute destructive power. When pushed to its limit, it is said to be able to destroy heaven and earth."

She counted on her fingers, introducing the remaining demonic energy one by one.

"The fourth type is Blood Luo Demon Qi, which is mainly devouring. It can directly devour everything of the opponent and convert it into its own power."

"The fifth type is the Heavenly Demon Qi that controls the mind. It is the most evil and dangerous, capable of rewriting memories, distorting the mind, and creating a new consciousness out of thin air."

"In the sixth category, the Jade Yang Demonic Qi can simulate all things. A single strand of Jade Yang Demonic Qi can be transformed into any fourth-order spiritual object, and can even simulate various other types of demonic qi."

"The seventh type is Xuan Ke Demonic Qi, which is mainly associated with demonic contamination. A single strand of Xuan Ke Demonic Qi can transform an area of ​​thousands of miles into a demonic realm."
