Ten months are sufficient to reach Tier Two Peak.

In ten months’ time, surely the Golden Core battle in the Little Demon Realm has concluded, hasn’t it?

Soon, Wen Jiu used the Corpse Fate Technique to locate an Acquired Death Land six thousand miles away. With the Corpse Fate Technique’s examination of the Acquired Death Land’s fate, its origin couldn’t be determined, but its quality could be judged by the consumption of corpse qi.

After East Spring Undying Bone reached Tier Two Upper Realm, the corpse qi increased threefold, and the Three Thousand Blood Inks’ corpse qi requirement is only about ten to twenty percent compared to East Spring Undying Bone. However, when calculating the location of this Acquired Death Land, East Spring Undying Bone consumed a full thirty percent of corpse qi.

Of course, this doesn’t mean this Death Land poses a risk for Golden Core Cultivators to fall; the thirty percent corpse qi consumed by East Spring Undying Bone is purely due to its total death qi and blood qi. Moreover, calculating things existing within heaven and earth always requires more corpse qi than calculating people.

As for within that Death Land, the danger is generally moderate, because most demons and demon beasts don’t particularly like the Death Land, and it isn’t suitable for their cultivation. Thus, there are only a few True Demons comparable to Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators there.

Very soon, Wen Jiu found this Acquired Death Land, located within a vast and boundless dense forest. However, compared to the lush surroundings, the appearance of the Death Land was shocking: not a blade of grass grows, the ground is covered in decaying and withered wood. Everywhere lay the gruesome flesh and white bones of demon creatures, the intertwining death qi and blood qi can be smelled from hundreds of miles away.

Even though demons can’t tolerate such death qi, to Wen Jiu, it feels as refreshing as a spring breeze.

Upon entering the Death Land, Wen Jiu first had East Spring Undying Bone drive away several Tier Two elite True Demons.

Why merely drive them away?

Because this place’s True Demons are intangible, Soul Capturing Technique and hard steel of a corpse body are ineffective; only Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi can suppress them. However, True Demons escape quickly, hunting them for leveling up takes effort and time, so Wen Jiu was disinclined to spend time chasing them. After establishing a temporary Grotto Heaven in the Death Land, he began planting Blood Corpse Mushrooms.

East Spring Undying Bone was sent out to hunt demon beasts and demons, and then bring them back to cultivate into Corpse Blood for Corpse Nourishing.

Ensuring that East Spring Undying Bone can be cultivated to Tier Two Peak as quickly as possible.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

There’s little movement in the Little Demon Realm, but the Far West has completely fallen. According to the news received from Li Yan, everything is due to the powerful Foundation Establishment Perfection Ghost Cultivator dispatched by the Three Life Gates of Wusheng.

His ghost techniques and the Ghost King he raised can fight one against five; no one among the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks Foundation Establishment Perfection is his match. During the period when False Pill and True Pill cultivators can’t intervene recklessly, the Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks can only retreat and defend.

With the abandonment of the Far West, the Far North and Far South also completely fell, becoming the territory of Wusheng Three Gates. As Shankui said, all forces and cultivators in these three lands who cannot escape are enslaved or slaughtered.

This news reached the Central Shen Yun Mountain Range, causing widespread panic.

However, within 500 miles outside the Little Demon Realm, it is still quite peaceful, and indeed Wusheng Three Gates has refrained from entering within 500 miles of the Little Demon Realm.

Not long after, Feng Jue too emerged from the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven after cultivation, surprised to learn he has taken the task of Honored Guest Elder and left the Little Demon Realm. Disinclined to bother with fellow sect members, he hurried to the Enchanting Forest on the same day.

Because Feng Jue knows he’s not the kind to easily leave the Little Demon Realm; dependence tasks clearly allow External Foundation Establishment zombies to handle. In fact, in the past, whatever needed handling was always done this way.

When even Mu Chang’an and Wen Ya in the Enchanting Forest don’t respond to his calls, Feng Jue becomes even more anxious and quickly sends a voice transmission.

To this, Wen Jiu didn’t hide, revealing the event of that night, also sharing his inner concerns.

However, he also made a promise to return once everything is settled.

"Brother Han, you really frightened me. I thought I had gained great advancement in the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven yet lost you." Feng Jue still shaken, not doubting Wen Jiu’s words.

Because the Tier Three Array is still standing there.

Its purpose for defense is obvious.

Wen Jiu’s sword-like brows furrow slightly, just feeling that the previous statement sounded somewhat off, "You better speak properly!"

"As long as you’re not leaving, I’ll say whatever you want to hear, Feng Mouren," Feng Jue replied with a laugh via voice transmission.

To this.

Wen Jiu was disinclined to bother further with this peculiar man.

A few days later, Feng Jue sent more news, detailing Sikong Pei’s situation after escaping the Shen Yun Mountain Range, it seems he hid away to recuperate, saying not a word about that night’s events.

Meanwhile, outside the Little Demon Realm, Wusheng Three Gates’ cultivators started increasing, some wanting to enter the Little Demon Realm for cultivation, others simply visiting. Regardless of their purpose, the Little Demon Realm is currently teeming with hidden currents.

This further strengthened Wen Jiu’s resolve not to return to the Little Demon Realm for now, staying focused on planting corpse mushrooms and Demon Hunting and Corpse Nurturing.

...

Another month passed swiftly.

Early one morning, an earth-shattering news arrived.

Sent by Feng Jue.

Yesterday morning, the sect leaders of the Hidden Kill Gate, Jue Ying Sect, and Yin Kui Sect from Wusheng Three Gates, three Heterodox Golden Cores, appeared simultaneously outside the Little Demon Realm. Ostensibly visiting Pei Wuxing, but when Pei Wuxing hadn’t shown for a long while, the three revealed their true intentions. In a short time, they broke through the Tier Three Yin Array in the Little Demon Realm.

With three Heterodox Golden Core Cultivators acting together, no one dared to intervene or stay in the Little Demon Realm, forced to observe from afar outside.

After breaking the Tier Three Yin Array, the trio forcefully pierced through the restriction and entered the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven. What occurred inside the Cave Heaven remains unknown, but early the next day, the three emerged.
