Demon Immortal-Novel



"Looks like your junior brother has already broken through that lousy formation the Wang Clan used. Soon, it will be time for us to leave this city," Feng Feixuan said looking at Ling Yue.

"What about the junior brother, master? Are we to join up with him?" Leng Yue asked cautiously. "However, the junior brother has created a huge commotion. We can only meet up with him outside the city to escape from prying eyes."

"Why would I join with that idiot?" Feng Feixuan snorted contemptuously.

"Huh," Ling Yue was surprised by her master's words. "Isn't junior brother acting on your orders, master?"

"Ha ha ha… no. That idiot is not acting under my orders. His actions were all done by him," Feng Feixuan smiled mockingly. "People like him are brutes who don't use their brains. They don't think long-term. They fight whenever they want. There are countless idiots like that guy in the sect. Don't be surprised. These brutes don't have any long-term plans. They do something just because they want to."

"That…" Ling Yue felt a little dazed hearing that.

She never expected someone so stupid to exist in the Heavenly Demon Sect. Heavenly Demon Sect was the hegemon of the demonic cultivation sects in the Dragon Scale Continent. How could such stupid people enter a sect like Heavenly Demon Sect? Furthermore, if the master's words are true, this is actually the norm for the disciples in the sect. Ling Yue couldn't believe such a thing.

"You think he is stupid, right?" Feng Feixuan said looking at Ling Yue meaningfully. "Don't bother to deny, I too think so. But, most demonic cultivators are like this. They don't have any long-term plans. They indulge in their desires whenever they want. They may have some brilliant ideas sometimes and even do some great things. But, they will all never be able to plan for something long-term with patience."

"But, how can such people enter a sect like ours master?" Ling Yue asked confusedly.

"Heh, girl, don't underestimate these people just because they can't plan for the long-term like you and me. In the world of cultivation, it is the strength of the cultivator that speaks the most. In front of overwhelming strength, all schemes and plots can be shattered in one blow," Feng Feixuan said seriously.

"And these people are exactly the kind of people who can achieve such overwhelming strength after going through countless life-and-death battles. The potential in a cultivator's body will be excavated in situations where they put their lives on the line. You better take note of it. When you encounter a bottleneck in the future, you can use this method to stimulate your potential."

"Disciple understands," Ling Yue nodded seriously.

"Take that idiot for example. He too has a special physique like you that is suited for cultivating one of the best arts available in the Heavenly Demon Sect. [Slaughter Demon Sutra] cultivates the slaughter qi that exists between heaven and earth. By engaging in slaughter, his cultivation will rise quickly."

"Oh, I understand," Ling Yue nodded as if realizing the reasons behind the actions of her junior brother.

"But, this method is not without its drawbacks. By immersing in such large-scale slaughter, he will be hunted down by righteous cultivators all over the world once his identity is known. If he can survive these pursuits, he will become a powerhouse. If not, he will die pursuing a higher realm," Feng Feixuan said seriously causing Ling Yue to nod.

Ling Yue took note of this aspect and wondered whether she could use this method as well. As her master said, the disadvantages were clear. But, if she can survive the endless pursuit, her strength would rise faster as well. Her junior brother was already far ahead of her, she didn't want to lag behind.

"This way of cultivation is not suited for you at all," Feng Feixuan suddenly poured cold water on Ling Yue's thoughts. 

How can she not understand her disciple's desire for power? It is exactly because she saw a shadow of her in this disciple that she took her in. Her unique physique was all well and good, but if she didn't have the heart to pursue power, then all is meaningless. 

Those who don't pursue power will be trampled under the heels of other powerful people. She didn't want to guide a waste. Luckily, her disciple's desire for power was indeed quite large. Even though she hides it well, her disciple yearned to hold more power just like her.

"Yes, Master," Ling Yue mumbled as if not convinced.

"The cultivation technique you practice focuses on cultivating soul power. Your Enchanting Spirit Physique is known to be one of the best soul bodies. Do not take the wrong path. Soul cultivators have weak bodies. If you follow that idiot's method, you will end up dead pretty soon," Feng Feixuan snorted.

"Disciple understands," Ling Yue nodded engraving those words into her heart.

"Your advantage lies in your relatively rare physique. You don't need to take such risks. You only need to enchant people and devour their consciousness. The current Star Empire will soon become chaotic. There are other plans in motion as well. It is better for you to avoid this region for the next year," Feng Feixuan spoke seriously and threw a jade slip to Ling Yue.

Ling Yue caught the jade slip and looked at her master in confusion.

"For the next year, the attention of powerful cultivators will be focused on the regions near the Grasslands. Our sect is going to make a big move soon. Things will become chaotic. What happened today was only a prelude. Just like this Starmist City, the surrounding regions will soon become chaotic," Feng Feixuan stated calmly while looking into the distance.

"With your current power, you will be nothing but cannon fodder in the days to come. Your special physique will mean nothing if you can't protect yourself. Thus master has taken the liberty to send you away from this area. Inside that jade slip is your next mission," Feng Feixuan turned and looked at Ling Yue sharply.

"Coincidentally, this mission will also be a great help to your cultivation. You are to head to some third-rate countries on the periphery of the Dragon Scale Continent and incite them to war with each other. This mission plays to your strength well."

"With the treasure I have given you, you will be able to easily ensnare most cultivators in the foundational realms. You can also use them to supplement your cultivation easily. In those peripheral regions, most cultivators are only in the foundational realms. You will rarely run into cultivators in transformational realms," Feng Feixuan explained calmly.

Ling Yue couldn't help but become a little happy hearing these words. It was true. She will be like a fish in water in those regions. There will be no one capable of contending with her in those regions once she absorbed the essences of the City Lord and Ling Clan Patriarch.

Excitement bloomed within her and she became breathless soon. She always knew that her master had a soft spot for her. It looked like it was true. If not for that, why would her master send her away from this chaotic region and arrange such a good mission for her?

"Master… thank you…" Ling Yue mumbled in gratitude.

"Don't think too much," Feng Feixuan snorted. "Things in the Dragon Scale Continent will become more and more turbulent as time passes. Your current strength is pitiful. Do not waste too much time. Even if you have to show your hands, make sure you increase your strength soon."

"Disciple understands," Ling Yue nodded seriously.

"Furthermore, I do not know whether I will be in this world after one year. So, if I don't contact you again, you don't need to worry about it. I have my own arrangements."

"Master!" Ling Yue exclaimed in shock. "In that case, can't I see you again?"

"If you want to see me again, you increase your strength soon and participate in the grand event that will be held in the Central Continent after seven years. If you can obtain a good place, you might have a chance to see me," Feng Feixuan smirked.

Waves arouse within Ling Yue's heart hearing her master's words. She vaguely understood that there must be some incredible secret within her master's words. She didn't want to pry. But, the determination to become strong only became firmer in her heart.

"I will definitely get a good ranking in the grand event, master," Ling Yue said solemnly.

"Will you?" Feng Feixuan's lips twitched a little. "Oh, I forgot to mention. You need to be in the Nascent Soul stage to even participate in that grand event. Good luck with your cultivation," Feng Feixuan's figure vanished suddenly after saying those words.

Boom!

Ling Yue's mind shook hearing her master's words. She wanted to know what grand event required entry qualifications to be at the Nascent Soul stage. However, her master had already left leaving her filled with doubts.

Ling Yue knew her master's temperament very well. It is very likely that this was the last time she saw her master in the near future. If not fot that, her master wouldn't have spoken so much to her. She even told her the secret behind the cultivation of the Enchanting Spirit Physique.

If she wanted to see her master again, then that grand event was the easiest route. But, she only had seven years to become a Nascent Soul cultivator. If not, she couldn't even enter such a grand event. 

Ling Yue's eyes firmed up and her gaze travelled to the two bloody figures that were on the floor. With a determined gaze, she moved towards them. Looking at them, Ling Yue felt like vomiting. She could see her master's handiwork all over. A small smile appeared on her face.
