Chapter 73: The True Realm Has Been Formed (52K Grand Chapter)

But Wang Wu doesn't care about that; after all, as time passes, daylight will completely vanish and the world will fall into endless darkness.

Wang Wu asked Shu Niang and the others how they would spend the time after the winter daylight completely disappears and boundless darkness covers the earth. The three demons gave the same answer: they would sleep.

They gather together, usually in Zhu San Niang's shrine. Zhu San Niang spins silk to seal the entire shrine, and then the demons hibernate inside. Though they don't sleep all twenty‑four hours a day, it's roughly the same.

Wild demons living in groups is actually rather rare, because most demons are solitary and rarely trust others. After all, demons can hunt and devour each other.

It must be said that Zhu San Niang, Shu Niang, and Wu Er Niang are a kind of oddity among demons. They help each other, trust each other, and even showed goodwill when they first met the stranger demon Wang Wu.

There's no need to mention Shu Niang; she directly saved Wang Wu's life. Even Zhu San Niang, who was the most guarded of the three when she first met Wang Wu, remained very kind to him.

Wang Wu has always been grateful to the three female demons, so whenever they have a need, he never refuses. Well, most of the time he doesn't refuse. And today, from outdoors to indoors, from day to night, and from night until early the next morning, Wang Wu finally fell into a deep sleep.

He slept until the next morning, stretched lazily, and sat up in bed.

He slept about six and a half hours; the time is now seven a. m. The sun obviously wouldn't be in the sky at this hour, but that doesn't affect Wang Wu at all.

He got out of the bedroom, went to the water‑fetching area, where Shu Niang happened to be bathing; Wang Wu greeted her, declined her invitation, and went to the edge of the underground river, watching the water intently.

"Do you want to catch fish, Wu Lang?" Shu Niang's voice came from behind.

Wang Wu nodded. "Yes, catch two fish and grill them. It's been a long time since I caught fish."

The cave is small, just over fifty square meters, with an underground river about two meters wide. The water is very deep; even a three‑meter pole can't reach the bottom. Wang Wu doesn't know exactly how deep, nor does he care.

"Damn it, where are the fish?" He stared at the water for a long time but didn't see a single fish shadow, which made him very annoyed.

"There aren't many fish in the river during winter, right?" At that moment, Shu Niang, having finished her bath, came to Wang Wu's side and also looked into the water.

Wang Wu bought many pillar lamps, and this underground cave also had them, lighting the entire cavern brightly.

"It's an underground river; even surface rivers have fish in winter," Wang Wu said. "Even if the river freezes, once you break the ice, fish will come up for air."

"Wu Lang knows a lot," Shu Niang said admiringly upon hearing Wang Wu's words.

Wang Wu smiled and continued to observe the underground river before him, looking for traces of blind fish.

Blind fish is the name Wang Wu gave to this kind of fish because their visual organs have severely degenerated. As he kept watching, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

The cave area lies within the coverage of the Vajra Demon-Subduing Formation, including the underground river ahead. However, looking toward the river's upstream and downstream sections—areas not covered by the formation—the water there feels off.

"No wonder," he said, walking to the river's edge and scooping a cup of water with the cup he uses for brushing his teeth.

When the water in the cup was outside the formation's range, Wang Wu saw clearly that the water was black and constantly boiling.

When the cup was brought into the Vajra Demon-Subduing Formation's area, the boiling black water instantly calmed, and its color changed as well.

"Damn you..." He looked at the cup in his hand, poured the water onto the ground; water that entered the formation's area is, of course, normal and drinkable.

But Wang Wu still shouted angrily, "Who the heck, a son born without an asshole, did this?"

"Damn it, the whole Summoning Demon Feast has turned Wang Gu Lin into a chaotic demon horde, demons running everywhere, and you, damn it, you even mess with the underground water I usually drink!???"

"You beast!! Beast!!!!"

This was Wang Wu's angriest outburst; the number of curses he uttered exceeded the total he had spoken since arriving in this world up to today.

"W-what's wrong, Wu Lang?" Shu Niang asked anxiously, "Is something wrong with the water?"

Wang Wu nodded and said to Shu Niang, "Indeed something's wrong; the water is polluted. But don't worry, my Vajra Demon-Subduing Formation has a purifying ability, so as long as the water enters the formation's area, it remains drinkable and safe."

"Impressive, Wu Lang!!" Shu Niang exclaimed sincerely.

"Hahaha..." Wang Wu placed his hands on his hips, clearly proud.

After brushing his teeth and having breakfast, the three female demons resumed their cultivation, while Wang Wu went outside, intending to see if he could venture out during the day.

The female demons don't keep Wang Wu on call twenty‑four hours a day; since he acquired a cultivation method, they summon him far less often than before—now only about five or six hours total per day, with a little time in the evening and late night.

At other times, unless they're in the mood or Wang Wu takes the initiative, they are simply cultivating.

Cultivating, eating, cultivating, combat training. Because they don't go out, each day cycles through these activities.

These days aren't dull; they're actually varied. Before they had a cultivation method, they could only eat and spar, hunting only occasionally.

【I'm the World's Number One Assassin inviting you to join the chat group (Yunguang City Genius Club), will you join?】

At noon, twelve o'clock, Wang Wu was hesitating whether to step out of the Demon-Subduing Formation's area, when suddenly a notification popped into his mind.

It was a notification from Juxin, sent by the World's Number One Assassin, who added him to a chat group.

Without any hesitation, he abandoned his plan to go out. After all, a big creature is roaming outside now; going out would be courting death.

He clicked to join directly; normally it would be instantaneous, but today's poor internet caused it to spin for a long time.

【Cloud River Gate Master: Oh, a newcomer? How rare】

Seeing this Cloud River Gate Master, Wang Wu could tell who it was without any introduction; it must be the main master of Cloud River Gate, since he's the group owner.

The group has only about forty or fifty members, no admins, just a single group owner.

World's Number One Assassin (business inquiries via private message), Cloud River Gate Master (do not add as friend), BoSheng Turtle, your mom is dead (for cooperation, add the Jitian Vajra Gate work account), Not Playing Position Five (for cooperation, add the Blazing Fire Red Lotus Sect work account), World's First Blade, I am Bright Light City's Top Chef…

Glancing roughly at the member list, Wang Wu's entire attention was instantly drawn to the member named 'BoSheng Turtle, your mom is dead'.

Not because of the aggressively offensive ID, but because of the string of notes after the name.

This guy... is he from the Jitian Vajra Gate?

No one has spoken in the group, even after newcomer Wang Wu joined; the chat remains dead silent.

【World's Number One Assassin: Damn, who let that beast Tianxin in???】

【Cloud River Gate Master @ World's Number One Assassin: Your father】

【BoSheng Turtle, your mom is dead @ World's Number One Assassin: I'm calling your mom, you dog‑like thing, your mother is dead】

【World's Number One Assassin @ BoSheng Turtle, your mom is dead: I don't have a mother, what's the point of saying that to me? The researchers at the base where I was born are all dead】

【Mountain‑Top Cave Demon: Hello, big brothers (emoji)】

【Cloud River Gate Master @ World's Number One Assassin: Brother, who is the person you brought in?】

【World's Number One Assassin @ Cloud River Gate Master: It's a friend of mine, a decent person, so I added them】

Seeing the messages from the assassin brother and the group master moved Wang Wu. Although the assassin brother usually has poor manners, at least half of each of his messages are insults.

But now, he actually said something nice to him, which was truly…

Cloud Crane Gate Leader @ World's Number One Assassin: How much red‑packet money did he send you? It's really rare for you to speak for him like this.

World's Number One Assassin @ Cloud Crane Gate Leader: Bro, you put it that way, I truly felt an instant kinship with him.

Cloud Crane Gate Leader @ World's Number One Assassin: By "instant kinship" you mean selling a 50 mg Heavenly Demon Dragon supplement for five thousand yuan? The dosage in the diagram you made is even wrong.

World's Number One Assassin @ Cloud Crane Gate Leader: Bro, you peeked at my phone????

Cloud Crane Gate Leader @ World's Number One Assassin: Who's looking at your phone? You're giving gifts to foreigners and still taking money; do you think customs lives on free meals?

Cloud Crane Gate Leader @ World's Number One Assassin: For that dosage you charge five hundred yuan and customs pretends you don't exist, yet you dare to ask for five thousand? You really have the nerve, you beast. How could I have a junior like you?

Seeing the rapid succession of messages flash through the chat group, Wang Wu felt a bit embarrassed at that moment—embarrassed about having just been tearfully grateful to Assassin Bro a second ago.

Nevertheless, he remained very grateful to Assassin Bro, because Assassin Bro truly helped him a lot.

Bo Sheng Gui Bi Ni Ma Si Le @ Mountain Top Cave Monster: Little friend, are you practicing the techniques of my Extreme Heaven Vajra Sect? Need the Heavenly Demon Dragon supplement? You can buy it from me.

Bo Sheng Gui Bi Ni Ma Si Le @ Mountain Top Cave Monster: I am the leader of the Extreme Heaven Vajra Sect. Besides the supplement, I also offer private tutoring. First, register on our sect's website, then enter the registration code I gave you, and you'll become my disciple.

Bo Sheng Gui Bi Ni Ma Si Le: I'm the sect leader, you know. My courses and disciple status aren't something ordinary people can purchase.

I'm the World's Number One Assassin @ Bo Sheng Gui Bi Ni Ma Si Le: Beast, what are you doing!????

The verbal battle in the group went on for a long time—almost two hours. Wang Wu barely interjected a few words the whole time, spending the whole session watching the clash between the Extreme Heaven Vajra Sect leader and the World's Number One Assassin.

In the end, the group owner stepped in, muted both of them, and gave Wang Wu a brief rundown of the group's situation.

After learning about the group's situation, Wang Wu remained somewhat numb until that night, because the people in the group seemed…

…seemed all to be big shots.

Undoubtedly, Wang Wu's gratitude toward Assassin Bro deepened. So, to thank him, Wang Wu sent Assassin Bro another red packet of five hundred yuan before going to sleep.

I'm the World's Number One Assassin: Haha, you kid, I really didn't mistake you—good, good!! If you ever have anyone you want killed, come to me; I'll give you a twenty‑percent discount, only eighty thousand.

Mountain Top Cave Monster: Thank you for Assassin Bro's generosity; if I have money in the future, I'll definitely continue to honor Assassin Bro.

I'm the World's Number One Assassin: (emoji)(emoji)(emoji)

Time quickly reached the third day.

Back home, Wang Wu's online purchases usually arrived on the third day. After arriving in the other world, his online orders still arrived on the third day.

To be precise, one arrived on the second day and the other on the third. The third‑day delivery was Assassin Bro's free trial version of the Heavenly Demon Dragon; the second‑day delivery was the self‑developed supplement and teaching materials purchased from the Extreme Heaven Vajra Sect leader Tian Xin.

【Heavenly Demon Dragon Supplement】

Specification: 1.5 g / 60 vials, each vial 25 mg

Usage: twice daily, 25 mg each time

This is the Extreme Heaven Vajra Sect Heavenly Demon Dragon supplement bought from Tian Xin: a box of 60 small vials, accompanied by a reusable injection gun that requires no needle changes—just attach the vial and fire.

The box cost Wang Wu three thousand yuan, far less than Assassin Bro's five thousand, and the quantity is much larger.

As for the trial version Assassin Bro sent, he gave Wang Wu six small vials, each 25 mg. The dosage, per the bottle's instructions, is also twice a day, 25 mg each time.

Obviously, the dosage on the original diagram was written incorrectly.

Besides the supplement, Tian Xin also gave Wang Wu the teaching manual and the full texts of the Extreme Heaven Vajra Sect's eighth‑grade and seventh‑grade techniques.

Because Wang Wu registered on the official website and paid the tuition, he officially became a disciple of the Extreme Heaven Vajra Sect, and even a sect‑leader disciple.

As an internal member, Wang Wu naturally received brand‑new technique textbooks, including the full Ninth‑grade system he already possessed.

The cultivation manual Wang Wu previously practiced was indeed different from the internal manuals he now received; after asking Tian Xin, he learned that Assassin Bro had actually given him the publicly available version he found online.

From Ninth to Fifth grade, the Extreme Heaven Vajra Sect's techniques all have public versions online, with no significant strength difference from the internal versions, but the internal versions contain far more detailed instruction. With this, one could basically manage without buying the teaching manual.

Before accessing the internal manuals, Wang Wu felt Assassin Bro's provided technique explanations were already detailed enough. After receiving the Extreme Heaven Vajra Sect's internal teaching materials…

Wang Wu can only say, it's a case of one mountain being higher than another.

Of course, Wang Wu remains very grateful to Assassin Bro, after all he was the one who led him into the sect.

So he sent Tian Xin a red packet of one thousand yuan, thinking the other side might not care about such a small amount, so he also said he didn't have much money and could only give this much, hoping Tian Xin wouldn't despise it.

Then Wang Wu became a Direct Transmission Disciple of the Extreme Heaven Vajra Sect leader; it wasn't just a polite phrase—under the sect's official website's sect master profile, his avatar actually appeared.

Sect Master: Qin Xiang (Tian Xin)

Direct Transmission Disciple:

Wang Wu (Earth Disaster), Li Ronglan (Heavenly Tribulation), Zhang Ting (Heavenly Extinction), Second Heavenly Demon (Earth Death)

One thousand yuan, Direct Transmission Disciple. How to put it, it's absurd, but it's true… maybe not that absurd after all.

Bo Sheng Gui Bi Ni Ma Si Le: It's just a Direct Transmission Disciple title, nothing more. I liked your look, so I added it. However, several of your senior brothers and sisters are First‑grade warriors; you'll have to work hard too.

Supplement three thousand yuan, Extreme Heaven Vajra Sect registration fee two thousand yuan per semester (one semester equals one year). Textbooks are free, teaching materials cost three thousand yuan, plus the one‑thousand‑yuan red packet sent to sect leader Tian Xin, totaling nine thousand yuan.

Adding the two red packets to Assassin Bro, totaling one thousand yuan, Wang Wu now has just over nine thousand yuan left in his account.

But for Wang Wu, it's all worth it. Fucking worth it.

Supplement in hand, textbook in hand, teaching material also in hand. The teaching material covers all realm techniques; price only affects the tier.

And now, the only thing Wang Wu has left to do is:

Pierce!

"Wu Lang, you… are you sure this is really fine?"

That night, Zhu San Niang held the injection gun Wang Wu gave her, looked at Wang Wu who was turned away, and asked hesitantly.

"No problem," Wang Wu nodded, "Trust me, San Niang."

"Then…" Though still a bit worried, recalling Wang Wu's abilities, Zhu San Niang no longer hesitated. She nodded, "Alright."

The injection gun isn't hard to use; a quick lesson suffices. Zhu San Niang placed a bottle of Heavenly Demon Dragon into the cartridge, then pressed the barrel against Wang Wu's spine.

Although the torrent of demonic aura emitted by the bottle labeled 'Heavenly Demon Dragon' made Zhu San Niang extremely uncomfortable, she steadied her hand and firmly pulled the trigger.

The potion in the vial began to diminish, being slowly pushed into Wang Wu's spine.

"Sss…!!"

As the potion entered, blood throughout his body immediately began to boil, causing Wang Wu to gasp a breath of cool air.

"H‑How?" Zhu San Niang heard Wang Wu's voice, instantly became flustered, hurriedly set aside the injection gun, and asked anxiously.

"It's fine, of course it's fine!!!" Wang Wu trembled, exulting, "Hahaha, it really works, the effect is amazing, it's instant!!!"

Then he turned around, joy in his eyes, and hugged Zhu San Niang tightly.

"Thank you, San Niang!!!"

"No, Wu Lang, I'm just... um..."

"Wow! San Niang! Wu Lang! You really are cunning!!!"

…

Time slipped by in a flash; in the blink of an eye, it was the Little Snow Season.

In Wang Gu Lin, within the ruins of the Shang Dynasty Tongtian City, a humanoid demon with wings sprouting from its back, an exoskeleton covering its body, and horns on its head raced through the forest.

Flames of demonic fire roared over it, and just by its aura, it seemed to have already brushed the Broken Delusion Realm above the True Realm.

Undoubtedly, it was a Great Demon, a True Realm Great Demon.

Ahead of it was a 'person' fleeing wildly, dressed in cultivator robes, skin rotting all over, its head lagging behind its body.

Or rather, a demon that had become a person.

Though a demon lacks reason, it still knows to seek profit and avoid harm.
