"Demon Sect? What kind of sect is that?"

Zhang Bin was stunned.

He had never heard of this sect before, not even in the records of the Daoyi Sect.

Even the jade scroll left by Laozi did not specifically note the Demon Sect.

"The Demon Sect... it's an exceedingly evil and terrifying sect, a nightmare for righteous sect cultivators."

Zhou Tianyu sat back down, his face filled with fear as he introduced the Demon Sect, similarly to how the Old Ancestor of Mount Lao had described it to Changsun Guangxi. In the end, he said, "Because this sect is too evil and terrifying, the elders usually don't want to tell the disciples about it. Once they know there's such a sect out there, specializing in harvesting cultivators with high merit points, gaining sin, thereby condensing the Evil Light and Evil Body, breaking through various bottlenecks. They wouldn't dare to gain more merit, which would be detrimental to their cultivation. So, I've only recently learned about the Demon Sect; the patriarch told me after emerging from seclusion. I'm worrying about you because you've gained too much merit. It may have already attracted the attention of the Demon Sect. However, your Supreme Pure Gate is so powerful, I think it can protect you."

"Damn... there really is such an evil sect in the world? Do they cultivate demons? How much sin do they need to break through bottlenecks? Do they ascend to the Demon Realm?"

Zhang Bin was shocked to the point of disbelief, unable to trust his own ears.

"Not only is there the Demon Realm, but also the Immortal Realm and the Monster Realm. Powerful monsters ascend to the Monster Realm," Zhou Tianyu said, "and the Immortal Realm specifically receives righteous sect cultivators."

"There's also the Monster Realm?" Zhang Bin was utterly speechless, "How can there be so many advanced worlds?"

"I don't know either, my ancestor told me this time," Zhou Tianyu said, "The ancestor also mentioned that the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm are mortal enemies, while the Monster Realm mingles in between. So even if you go to the Immortal Realm, it's not really peaceful, and terrifying battles may erupt."

"That could really be quite lively," Zhang Bin's face showed a yearning expression, "If I went to the Immortal Realm, I'd definitely want to wipe out the Demon Realm and bring the Monster Realm under my control too."

"Pfft..." Zhou Tianyu spat out a mouthful of tea, "You're too bold, truly like a newborn calf not fearing the tiger. Do you know, the giants of the Immortal Realm, Demon Realm, Monster Realm have been cultivating for hundreds of billions of years? A mere breath from them could destroy countless galaxies. If one day you do go to the Immortal Realm, never utter such arrogant words. Those giants possess divine skills that reach beyond, and any disrespectful word they can sense, you might be unknowingly killed by them, not even knowing how you died."

Zhang Bin quickly gathered himself, recalling the statue of Ancestor Deception and what he said: shout Evil Ancestor as soon as he reaches the Immortal Realm.

Perhaps, Ancestor Deception could find him and kill him. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

A joke like this isn't something to make lightly, and you can't speak carelessly in the Immortal Realm.

Otherwise, it could truly spark disaster.

Unless he is powerful enough to unify the Immortal Realm.

He smiled serenely, "Isn't this Earth? Speech is free; I was just joking. But, such an evil Demon Realm must indeed be utterly destroyed."

"Kid, stop worrying blindly here; why don't you tell me how the Demon Sect found you?"

Zhou Tianyu said.

"..."

Zhang Bin then detailed the incident with Zuo Xie seeking him out, ending with, "The elders of my Supreme Pure Gate are all in seclusion for cultivation, so I came here to ask for advice."

"This matter is far from trivial. I will take you to see the ancestor."

Once Zhou Tianyu finished speaking, he led Zhang Bin to another hut.

This hut was particularly simplistic.

It truly only had two rooms and a hall.

An old man with white flower-dotted beard and hair was turning the earth in the backyard of the hut.

He looked just like a farmer.

However, he had a rosy complexion.

Appearing much like a baby.

A young girl holding a towel was wiping sweat for the old man.

Yes, it seemed this old man was struggling as he dug the earth.

He was laboriously puffing and panting.

"Greetings, ancestor..."

Zhou Tianyu saluted respectfully.

"Supreme Pure Sect Master pays respects to Kunlun Elder."

Zhang Bin also saluted respectfully.

"Zhang Bin, you have great talent and have gained a significant amount of merit, condensing it into a Merit Gold Seal." Kunlun Elder continued digging the earth while casually saying, "Someone from the Demon Sect approached you, revealing the secret of merit. Do you know the reason?"

Zhang Bin secretly alarmed, the hut he and Zhou Tianyu were conversing in had an unusual formation, invisible and inaudible from outside, yet Kunlun Elder knows everything? What kind of divine skill is this? To what extent has he cultivated?

Soon, he felt a chill in his heart, even as powerful as Kunlun Elder, he still hadn't discovered the Living Ghost from the Youming Sect that seized the body of a Kunlun Sect disciple, infiltrated Kunlun. If not for him eliminating it, Min Tatian may have already returned to Kunlun.

It shows how terrifyingly evil sects like Youming Sect and Demon Sect are.

He absolutely cannot underestimate them.

He composed himself, hesitantly saying, "The Demon Sect told me the secret of merit, definitely hoping for me to quickly achieve substantial merit, so when they kill me, they can gain a massive amount of sin, allowing them to significantly progress in power, breaking into higher realms."

"Well said, very smart." Kunlun Elder kept his head down, continuing to dig, "The leader of the Demon Sect is named Mo Tunyu, an extraordinarily rare demon cultivation genius, evil, vicious, ruthless, cruel, bloodthirsty... cultivated to Ascension Realm Late Stage, stuck at this bottleneck for over three thousand years, unable to break through to the Peak of Ascendant Realm. To break through, they must gain a massive amount of sin. Unless he destroys Earth, only then would the sin be sufficient. But he can't do that. Even at the Peak of Ascendant Realm, it still doesn't guarantee ascension to the Immortal Realm, not to mention destroying Earth; righteous sect cultivators would fervently oppose him. Therefore, they hope you can cultivate to become Virtuous Great One, so when he kills you, it's estimated he can break through to the Peak of Ascendant Realm."

"Damn it..."

Zhang Bin was horrified; what kind of rotten luck did he have to provoke such a terrifying Demon Sect?

He's being targeted by the Demon Sect Leader Mo Tunyu? Wants to rely on killing me to break through to the Peak of Ascendant Realm?

Could it be, I'm now like meat from a Tang monk to the Demon Sect people?

They see me as easy to bully and deceive?

That idiot Zuo Xie hopes I'm unaware, continuing to earn merit diligently, underestimating me?

Fortunately, he's faced many dangers before, still unruffled, puzzledly said, "And who is Zuo Xie? Why is he so loyal to him? Aren't people from the Demon Sect generally selfish and greedy? He sees I've gained so much merit, killing me would be better for him, why work for the leader Mo Tunyu?"

"The Demon Sect controls its disciples to a terrifying extent. No disciple dares to betray," Kunlun Elder said, "As for how they control, even I don't know."

"Why don't the righteous sects unite and wipe out the Demon Sect?"

Zhang Bin asked angrily.

"You don't know shit." The girl wiping the sweat turned around and glared fiercely at Zhang Bin, "Who wouldn't want to wipe out the Demon Sect, but it's easier said than done."

Zhang Bin was stunned, couldn't help but fix his gaze on the girl's face.

Then he was dumbfounded like an idiot!
