If you die, I will be able to inherit your cultivation.

Zhou Ming took a deep breath, and his mind gradually calmed down.

Having resolved the long-standing issue of his severed arm that had plagued him for over twenty years, Zhou Ming finally felt a huge weight lifted from his shoulders.

He no longer lingered in the stone cave of the Qiankun Pearl. With a flash, he left the interior of the Qiankun Pearl and returned to that world of demonic energy, standing on the edge of the giant sinkhole.

Many years later, the sinkhole in front of me is still exactly the same as I remember it, with smooth walls and no change in its overall layout.

However, the concentration of demonic energy in the surrounding world has changed dramatically compared to the past.

The demonic energy, which was once almost liquefied, has now become thinner.

The world is slowly repairing itself, and the environment is gradually returning to normal.

Zhou Ming released his divine sense to explore the surrounding area. After spreading his divine sense, he could no longer feel the bone-chilling cold that he used to feel.

His divine sense covered a vast area spanning hundreds of billions of miles. Demonic energy still lingered in this world, but the farther away from the sinkhole, the lower the concentration of demonic energy became.

In areas billions of miles away, vegetation can already be seen sprouting, revealing a faint green hue, and life is slowly reviving.

Zhou Ming originally intended to withdraw his divine sense and prepare to set up an ultra-long-distance teleportation array to leave this world.

But just then, a living person suddenly entered the range of his divine sense.

This was the first time Zhou Ming had seen a living being since he came into this world.

Zhou Ming locked onto the figure and began to observe it closely. The more he observed, the more familiar it seemed.

"Holy crap, isn't that little monk Huiming? What's he doing here?"

Zhou Ming was filled with surprise.

It should be known that there are countless great worlds between the Spirit Ruins World and this world, and the spatial distance is immeasurable.

Zhou Ming was able to get here by using the Qiankun Pearl to track the Netherworld Longsword.

Monk Huiming did not possess such a treasure as the Qiankun Pearl, so logically he should not have been able to reach this world.

Zhou Ming was filled with doubts, and at the same time, he noticed that Monk Huiming's current condition was not optimistic.

After looking around and confirming that there was nothing else of interest, Zhou Ming moved swiftly and headed straight for the location of Monk Huiming.

At this moment, the monk Huiming stopped and came to a secluded mountain valley.

His cultivation had reached the Mahayana stage, but he was severely injured and his aura was weak.

He simply set up a basic warning array, then sat down cross-legged on the spot, circulated his cultivation technique, and began to absorb the faint demonic energy remaining in the air.

To Zhou Ming's surprise, as the monk Huiming absorbed the demonic energy, the Buddhist light around him grew stronger and stronger.

This Buddha light is completely different from the Buddha power obtained by those Buddhist cultivators in the Spirit Void World who take shortcuts. This Buddha power appears to be purer, without any unnecessary impurities.

Zhou Ming had a strong premonition.

The Qiankun Pearl has never been able to evolve into the Buddhist realm, and now it seems that this task may fall to the monk Huiming.

Only such pure Buddhist power could provide the conditions for the Qiankun Pearl to be born in the Buddhist realm.

What puzzled Zhou Ming the most was that demonic energy and Buddhist power were two completely opposing forces.

One is evil, the other is good; their natures are extremely opposite. Yet, in Huiming, the two can transform into each other, which is beyond his previous understanding.

Just as Zhou Ming was deep in thought about the strange things happening to the monk Huiming.

In the distance, two figures flew rapidly toward the mountain hollow.

Both of them were at the Mahayana stage of cultivation, and their goal was very clear: they were after the monk Huiming.

Without disturbing Huiming in the ravine, Zhou Ming flashed forward and went straight to meet him.

Just as he was about to reach the two, Zhou Ming made a move and forcibly pulled the two Mahayana cultivators into the Qiankun Pearl.

After entering the Qiankun Pearl, Zhou Ming imprisoned the two of them and used the Memory Sea Pearl Gathering Technique to directly probe their memories.

Soon, the purpose of their trip became clear in Zhou Ming's mind.

Just as Zhou Ming had predicted, these two people had come specifically to search for the monk Huiming.

And their identities are all cultivators from the Lingxiao Sect in the Lingxu World.

After the Lingxu World was conquered by the Federation forces, leaving only half of the continent.

Lu Chen's old injuries had not yet healed, and he was powerless to continue resisting the constant harassment from high-level cultivators of the Federation. He had no choice but to flee the Spirit Ruins World and eventually escape to the Peaceful Realm.

Many remaining cultivators from the Lingxiao Sect, Dafo Temple, and Tianmo Sect also fled with Lu Chen and arrived at Taiping Realm.

However, the situation in Taipingjie was not optimistic either. The situation was turbulent and it was not suitable for long-term settlement.

After discussing it, Lu Chen and Zhang Jiao decided to continue their escape and find a place where they could settle down.

Before setting off on his escape, Zhang Jiao had a negotiation with the Federation.

He used the remaining territory of the Pacific Realm as leverage to exchange for a batch of supplies and treasures with the Federation.

After the transaction was completed, Zhang Jiao entrusted all his subordinates to Lu Chen, asking Lu Chen to take care of them.

However, he himself disappeared without a trace.

Lu Chen, along with Zhang Jiao's remaining cultivators, took a long-distance teleportation array and arrived at the Canglan World, which was not far from here.

After arriving in the Canglan World, the group of cultivators thought they could settle down for the time being, cultivate in peace, and wait for an opportunity to ascend in the future.

But the group didn't get much time to catch their breath.

Lu Chen always remembered the old grudge that the Federation had conquered the Spirit Ruins World, and often vowed to return to his homeland to avenge his defeat.

He spread the "Scripture of Crossing the World" to the native human race of the Canglan world.

He then appointed his former subordinates who had fled with him as the core management team and rebuilt the Jishi Alliance.

The Salvation Alliance grew rapidly, absorbing a large number of local cultivators, and its influence expanded very quickly.

The rise of the Salvation Alliance directly impacted the interests of the native rulers of the Canglan world.

The rulers of this world are not humans, but the Iron-Eating Beasts, namely giant pandas.

That's right, this is the hometown of the giant panda Kuang Tie.

The conflict between the Salvation Alliance and the Iron-Eating Beast Clan continued to escalate, leading to several large-scale battles between the two sides.

After several rounds of fighting, both sides paid a heavy price, and neither side gained a clear advantage, resulting in a stalemate.

However, the stalemate did not last long, as a battle with the Iron-Eating Beast tribe occurred some time ago.

Lu Chen made a mistake in his combat judgment and fell into the enemy's trap, suffering serious injuries once again.

Lu Chen fled back to his own camp in a sorry state, intending to go into seclusion to recuperate from his injuries.

However, just as he was about to enter a state of seclusion, a disciple from Dafosi Temple suddenly launched a sneak attack from behind.

This disciple originally only had the cultivation level of the Integration Stage, but at the moment of the sneak attack, his cultivation level suddenly surged to the Mahayana Stage.

Furthermore, he mastered a technique that combined Buddhist and demonic cultivation, making him incredibly powerful in combat.

This person has been following Lu Chen in his escape since the chaos in the Spirit Ruins World.

He is usually quiet and reserved, but he is meticulous and reliable in his actions, and he can complete any task assigned to him properly.

Therefore, he gained Lu Chen's trust and was assigned to be a trusted confidant by his side.

No one expected that Lu Chen would launch a sudden attack when he was seriously injured and weakened.
