Whose heretical cultivator relies on a rich woman to attain enlightenment?

"Extraterrestrial Demons".

Word by word.

Hanguang, who had never been serious before, completely changed his personality at this moment.

His eyes were cold and sharp, filled with a chilling killing intent. His long, narrow phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, giving him an air of natural arrogance and nobility.

Even Lu Cheng, who was soaking in the medicinal liquid, felt a chill all over his body. Although the firewood under the wooden tub was still burning, he could not feel any warmth. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and he remained silent.

"Jingnan, the border of Da Viet, is a place where many countries meet."

"Logically speaking, even in such a strategic location, it would be far from necessary to station an eighth-realm expert here. You have only just embarked on your cultivation journey, so perhaps you are unaware of the perils of the path to immortality."

"To put it another way, a seventh-realm cultivator already possesses extraordinary abilities, capable of fighting against more than ten thousand elite heavy cavalry without a problem. Moreover, they hold a pivotal position within the country, and there are usually only one or two seventh-realm experts in a country or a top power."

"Experts with such cultivation are fully capable of founding their own sects, standing alone, and becoming pillars of a nation."

"But cultivators at the eighth realm are completely different."

"They are already masters who are only one step away from ascending to immortality. Every move they make has the power to open mountains and fill seas. They may ascend to immortality and transcend tribulations at any time."

"For masters of this level, nothing in the secular world can arouse their interest. For them, positions and status are insignificant. The only thing they pursue is two words."

"Ascension".

Han Guang's unique voice is very magnetic.

She had scrubbed all the dead skin off her body, and her expression was neither sad nor happy. It looked like she was recalling something, but it also looked like she was venting her emotions. After all, the fierce battle back then was still vivid in her mind.

However, the boy just sat in the cold medicine and dared not get up, afraid that if he stood up, Han Guang would see his cold sweat.

Throw the towel over.

"With your intelligence, Master, it shouldn't be hard to guess why a master of the eighth realm would be stationed in a godforsaken place like Jingnan."

"...The extraterrestrial demons you mentioned, could they be nearby?"

"As expected of the master, you really know exactly what's wrong with you... What's wrong?"

Seeing the boy's pale face, Han Guang was not in a good mood, but he quickly took two steps forward, touched his forehead with his small hand, and then touched his own forehead, muttering things like "no fever".

"I... I'm fine. It's just that it's my first time soaking in the body-tempering liquid, and I'm a little exhausted. Please continue."

He struggled to climb out of the tub, pretending nothing had happened, but he found that the cold sweat on his body seemed to increase the more he wiped it, and he couldn't stop.

"Yes, the extraterrestrial demons came from the Demon-Suppressing Abyss outside Zhennan Pass."

His voice carried a hint of seriousness.

There is an unwritten rule in the cultivation world: whenever someone goes out to train, regardless of their cultivation level, they must go to the Demon Suppression Abyss. The Demon Suppression Abyss happens to be located at the border of multiple countries, a place where the situation is not only chaotic but also fraught with danger.

Even when Han Guang himself was young, he personally went there and even fought with one of the extraterrestrial demons.

"The cultivation world has been troubled by this for many years, so various countries have sent their elite forces here, including that lowly... Ji Xiaoxiao."

"She is not only the person in charge of Jingnan, but also the trump card of Dayue. With her guarding this place, even if the extraterrestrial demons crawl out from underground again, she can at least hold out until experts from all sides come to support her."

It gave me goosebumps.

How could a master like Ji Xiaoxiao only be able to hold out until all the other masters arrived?

"By the way, judging from your tone, the extraterrestrial demon isn't just one person, but a group?"

His voice was trembling.

However, Han Guang naturally wouldn't connect the two together. After all, those extraterrestrial demons back then caused widespread suffering among the people at a young age, and they possessed extraordinary abilities, unlike Lu Cheng.

They're already eighteen and just getting started.

"Yes, it wasn't just one person."

"If you go back further, the earliest clear record of an extraterrestrial demon descending to earth is about 16,000 years ago, and it appears about once every two or three thousand years."

"The most recent one was eighteen years ago... Hey, sir, what's wrong?"

Clang!

Lu Cheng lost his balance and his legs went weak, almost causing him to fall headfirst.

His vision blurred, but the boy quickly regained his balance, muttering curses under his breath.

"This medicine is a bit strong, but it's alright. Um, where were we?"

With a face full of suspicion, Han Guang still tried his best to help Lu Chengchao walk home. His master was usually very healthy, so why was he so weak today?

Sure enough, they still wanted to find a way to sell the master to a brothel to get more cultivation resources. The Demon Suppression Division was too stingy.

The bathwater was all expired; look what my husband has become of it!

"About eighteen years ago, a master in the cultivation world discovered unusual activity coming from the Demon Suppression Abyss."

"Countless experts went down to investigate. After venturing deep into the Demon Suppression Abyss, they discovered that the gate, which had long been sealed, had been pried open with a crack. It seems that an extraterrestrial demon had exhausted all its strength to barely squeeze into the mortal world."

"Many experts were on high alert, and it even attracted many sect elders to discuss the matter. At that time, the entire Jingnan was completely sealed off, and cultivators of the sixth realm could be seen everywhere."

"However, in the following ten years or so, the extraterrestrial demon behaved itself and did not reveal any of its whereabouts or cause any trouble. So it gradually removed all its arrangements. Based on the time and route, it is likely that this person has already penetrated deep into the Central Plains."

"...Sir, are you really alright? Was it fake medicine? Shall I get you some fresh medicine tomorrow?"

Noticing that Lu Cheng's body was still shaking violently and he was sweating profusely, the symptoms were somewhat similar to those of malaria.

With great concern, she picked up the blanket and covered the boy with it, while Lu Cheng simply curled up into a ball, his tone tinged with a hint of probing and caution.

"Why are you all so hostile towards that extraterrestrial demon? What if... he's a good person?"

"A good person?"

He gave a cold laugh.

Lu Cheng rarely saw such a righteous indignation on Han Guang's face. His fists clenched, and he wished he could tear that monster to pieces on the spot!

"You have no idea what utterly depraved things these extraterrestrial demons have done!"

"Thousands of years ago, there was a small country called Qiandu. Although it was somewhat poor, life was relatively carefree and far from war and turmoil."

"While not everyone is wealthy, a state that is largely self-sufficient is quite common throughout history. But guess what happened?"

"After the extraterrestrial demon descended to earth, it first colluded with the local people, indoctrinating them with heretical ideas, saying things like, 'Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?'"

Seeing that the people were not fooled, they simply took the initiative to set up a scheme to frame the princes, forcing the emperor to become suspicious of them.

"To protect themselves, the princes were forced to launch a simultaneous attack. However, the demon took advantage of the chaos to lead his army into the imperial city, shouting nonsense such as 'The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise, the year is Jiazi, great fortune will come to the world,' causing widespread suffering among the people!"

"It was only in the end that we found out that the guy claimed to be a saint, but he failed the imperial examinations every time. He harbored resentment, so he seized power and triggered a war between several countries, which indirectly caused the deaths and injuries of millions of people."

"You're telling me this person can be a good person?"
