I Cheated While Cultivating

The palace in Youhe obviously had sentience.

After the True Spirit of Youhe was annihilated, the palace vanished without a trace, leaving no sign behind.

At the same time, the demonic fog that enveloped the skies over Pingzhou County City also dissipated.

Many people who had fallen into slumber due to the demonic fog awoke, but those who had been killed by Youhe and other demon entities in their dreams had no chance of awakening ever again.

The disappearance of the demonic fog cleared the skies over the whole of Pingzhou.

Both the Prefectural Governor Pei Hongdao and Cheng Jianjian were the first to notice this change.

“So quickly resolved?” Pei Hongdao looked up at the sky in utter amazement. He had not expected the Ziwei Master to so swiftly rid them of the demon entities.

He had a deep understanding of the strength of the demon entities that had entrenched themselves above Pingzhou County City. The Ziwei Master was merely of Sect Fifth Rank realm, yet he already possessed such formidable power, which was truly unbelievable.

However, no matter what, with the crisis in Pingzhou averted, he, as the Prefectural Governor, was extremely pleased, exclaiming, “The might of Lord Ziwei truly is extraordinary compared to ordinary martial artists.”

“Indeed, the strength of the Master has always been formidable,” Cheng Jianjian nodded lightly, smiling and saying, “He has returned, if Lord Pei has anything to say, you can speak frankly.”

At this moment, Zhou Heng’s Divine Soul had returned to his body, opening his eyes and smiling, “I have not failed in my duty. Those two demon entities have been subdued.

“However, the demon entities and the demonic Qi have been entrenched within Pingzhou for some time, and there might be a number of demon entities of Lower Third Rank that have spawned.

“These locally bred demon entities still need to be dealt with by Lord Pei. I and the Big Dipper have other matters to attend to, so we will take our leave now, farewell.”

“Lords of the Star Offices, why the rush? I was hoping to host a banquet to express my gratitude…” Pei Hongdao wanted to retain them, but before he could finish his sentence, he saw two streaks of light flying out of the prefecture’s yamen, leaving Pingzhou County City.

This left Pei Hongdao slightly startled, then he shook his head, feeling it was a bit regrettable.

In these ever-chaotic times, even someone like him, a Great Grandmaster of Absolute Fourth Rank, often felt powerless, such as this time where, had it not been for the intervention of the Zhou Tian Boundary Officers, he could only have watched helplessly as the citizens of Pingzhou suffered.

Therefore, he wanted to establish a good relationship with the two powerful beings from the Zhou Tian Boundary Officer, but it seemed now there was no chance.

However, Pei Hongdao also understood the situation; everywhere there were signs of demon calamities arising, and the personnel of the Zhou Tian Boundary Officer were always few, so their haste in leaving was quite normal.

“Father, brother has woken up.” Pei Luoling rushed over, her tone cheerful, yet seeing her father sigh, she asked in confusion, “Father, what’s wrong? You seem somewhat downhearted.”

“It’s nothing, Luoshu is awake?” Pei Hongdao’s face showed joy as he walked over and smiled, “Take me to see him.”

Among the citizens of Pingzhou who had been contaminated by the demonic Qi and had fallen into slumber was his son, Pei Luoshu, yet faced with such a situation, he was powerless and unable to do anything.

This made Pei Hongdao truly feel that, despite being renowned on the Earth Ranking, even a Celestial Man-below-only Great Grandmaster was still very insignificant in the face of real disaster.

“I hope this calamity will subside soon,” Pei Hongdao thought to himself with a sigh as he walked.

…

Above the Purple Qi Cloud Platform, in front of Purple Tenuity Palace.

Zhou Heng and Cheng Jianjian explained to The Supreme and Celestial Man the situation they had encountered before, with a focus on the state of Youhe and Huang Yu.

——Zhou Heng had already discussed this with Cheng Jianjian on the way here, including some of his speculations.

This plunged the two old Celestial Men into silence.

“It seems, my speculation was indeed true?” Zhou Heng took a deep breath and said, “Does the Nine Nether Demon Realm actually have a structured civilization and various humanoid species?”

“…Yes.” In the end, The Supreme nodded and sighed, “It is not that we intentionally concealed it, but the matter is of great significance and could very likely cause ordinary organization members to lose their confidence in resistance.”

“I understand this.” Zhou Heng nodded, not surprised by this answer, and said solemnly, “However, now that I have discovered this situation myself, I want to know everything about the Nine Nether Demon Realm.”

“The two esteemed lords, given the current status of the Ziwei Master and the position he will be taking on afterward, should be privy to these matters,” Cheng Jianjian also said from the side.

“Indeed, so it should be.” Celestial Man nodded.

“We indeed should share the information about the Nine Nether Demon Realm with the Ziwei Master,” said The Supreme, scratching his somewhat graying hair. “However, the situation may differ slightly from what you speculated earlier.

“The Nine Nether Demon Realm does have a complete system of civilization and many species, but it is not a single civilization, nor does it consist of a combination of multiple species forming one civilization.

“In fact, the Nine Nether Demon Realm is not a single world but a vast ensemble of worlds, with numerous large worlds, each with its own complete civilization.

“The beings that came from the West Wasteland forbidden land to our world are just collectively labeled as demon entities. In reality, they may not all come from the same world or civilization, and their characteristics are quite different…”

“This…” Zhou Heng’s mouth fell open slightly upon hearing this, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words.

The answer was beyond his expectations; he had thought he had already considered the crisis to be quite severe, only to find the reality was even worse than he imagined.

He had originally thought the Nine Nether Demon Realm was just another worldly civilization different from this one.

He had not expected it to be like this.

This meant that the world he currently inhabited was not facing an invasion from a single Nine Nether Demon Realm.

Instead, it was facing invasions from the numerous large worlds, civilizations, and species within the Nine Nether Demon Realm group!

“The two esteemed lords, what is special about the world we currently inhabit?” At this moment, Cheng Jianjian suddenly asked, her expression serious, “Evil Gods lurk beyond the heavens, and even supreme beings from unfathomable distances are watching over us here.

“The West Wasteland forbidden land is also connected to the Nine Nether Demon Realm, countless worlds, civilizations, and species are continuously attempting to come here, one after another.

“The two lords, I am very puzzled. What exactly does our world possess, what kind of secrets that make it so coveted by so many powerful beings?”

“Indeed, this is also my doubt,” Zhou Heng nodded and said, “In terms of the essence of the world, the levels of natural principles of heaven and earth, spiritual materials and treasures, the myriad worlds, and the endless universe, there should be no shortage of worlds comparable to ours.

“But why is it that our world, in particular, is subject to such attention from so many Evil Gods and external demons lying in wait to invade? What is attracting them? The two lords, can you resolve our confusion?”
