It's nearly spread overseas, and not just that, another member from the Immortal Clan has arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone from Heavenly Faction has also arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can only let the immortal sect intervene to balance things now. If more people arrive, then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Yuan looked at Zhang and asked, \"Did Friend Zhang return to the North?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I just returned to the North,\" Zhang answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gui looked at Senior Dan Yuan and asked, \"Senior, what has been fought over to reach overseas?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their hearts, the others praised her question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gui had asked a good question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi also felt the same way. He thought that many questions were inappropriate to ask at the gathering,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but Gui would always voice them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't dare to ask, and it seemed that no one else intended to, either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Gui just asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Yuan replied with a smile, \"It's because someone who looks like Laugh Three Times appeared in the Heavenly Note Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Laugh Three Times?\" Gui pondered briefly, \"Gu Jin, the peerless one, has died, so someone else has become Laugh Three Times?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Laugh Three Times is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gui looked at Jing, curious, \"What happened afterward?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang thought for a moment and said, \"That day, I remember the Blood Demon appeared, but I don't know what happened after it appeared. I only know that a powerhouse seemed to have died all of a sudden, and then a blood-red tornado touched the heavens, which was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After that, many powerhouses started fighting again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, the Blood Demon appeared, and an unknown powerhouse emerged from within, and Laugh Three Times fought against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eventually, he obtained an item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This item became the source of the subsequent struggles,\" Dan Yuan said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What item?\" Gui inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others also waited for the continuation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Yuan looked at Jing, \"That's something you'll have to ask Friend Jing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao, feeling the surrounding gazes, was unconcerned and spoke in a low voice, \"The Daluo Dao fruit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Daluo Dao fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, everyone fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no gasps of astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because the item wasn't astonishing enough but rather...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't know what it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Dan Yuan laughed and explained, \"Legend has it that the Human Emperor is in the Daluo Realm, and obtaining the Dao fruit allows one to enter Daluo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, everyone inhaled a breath of cold air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they looked at Jing with a hint of horror in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gui was the first to speak up, \"Does that mean that Friend Jing is destined to enter this realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They may not know what the Daluo realm was, but they understood what the Human Emperor represented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not necessarily,\" Liu piped up, \"Senior Dan Yuan mentioned there was a follow-up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Dan Yuan continued, \"Laugh Three Times obtained the Dao fruit, but he did something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did he do?\" Gui was very curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Yuan looked at everyone and added, \"He threw the Dao fruit he had in hand, giving it to a powerhouse of the Bright Moon Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All those who came for great fortune no longer fixate on it but start fighting over the Dao fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thus, the great battle ensued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's almost reached overseas from the southern region, and moreover, the battle keeps expanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So far, the ownership of that object is yet undecided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems likely that the conflict will not subside for another hundred years or more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Gui felt a little uneasy, \"Will this cause a storm overseas?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Certainly,\" Dan Yuan turned to the crowd and said, \"If you can call someone from overseas, they are perfectly welcome to give it a try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Call someone from overseas?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, everyone had their thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should we inform the academy?\" Fairy Zhang inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Yuan replied softly, \"Either is fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, no one else spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Yuan turned to Jing and said, \"If Friend Jing merely wishes to know about these matters, then as there are developments, news will be conveyed to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be very good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There would be no need to gather and inquire every time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Dan Yuan mentioned two other matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were about the Ancient Lands and the inner connection within the Immortal Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only then that Jiang Hao remembered he hadn't visited Brother yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he would have to find time to ask Brother if he had managed to enter the Immortal Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding these two points, no one else spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there was no solution for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, they were still shocked by the news they had just heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao didn't participate in the subsequent trading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While listening to the news around him, Jiang Hao learned that Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment had gone north again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon race from overseas was increasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Saint Bandits' activities grew more frequent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere, there was not much change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The east had always been in conflict, with the appearance of an invincible figure looming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi informed him that the Li Clan had started making contact with the outside world, yet the special channel had not yet been established.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone had used a special method to enter the Li Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His status and identity were not enough to know who it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao remembered what Lady Bi Zhu had told him, to try and find the records to see what legends the Li Clan had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he could ascertain their intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the others also nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, the gathering came to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overseas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Bi Zhu sat up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at the moonlight outside and felt that the moon was much larger than in the southern region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So full and so bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suddenly, I miss the years gone by, and I wonder how my elder and second brothers are doing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm homesick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, she still couldn't leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shangguan family was too weak; after all these years, they'd yet to produce four Human Emperors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had truly tried everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, she had found a new method, and this time, two Human Emperors should emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shangguan Qingsu returned, he would be a Human Emperor, but he didn't say much upon his return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply mentioned that the Heavenly Note Sect was very dangerous and that a fight had broken out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A fight has broken out, but we have no idea why. Who could possibly guess the reason?\" Lady Bi Zhu thought as she lay down again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a voice echoed in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is the task coming along?\" It was Gu Changsheng's voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Bi Zhu suddenly remembered something and asked, \"Senior, may I ask you something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\" Gu Changsheng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What realm are you in?\" Lady Bi Zhu inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A realm stronger than yours,\" Gu Changsheng answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then have you reached Daluo?\" Lady Bi Zhu asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was silence on the other end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not yet?\" Lady Bi Zhu was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changsheng hadn't reached it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All I can say is that when I was exiled, I was infinitely close to that realm,\" Gu Changsheng replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant not yet. Lady Bi Zhu asked again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll know when I return,\" Gu Changsheng did not give a clear answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, what would happen if a Daluo Dao fruit appeared?\" Lady Bi Zhu continued to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was silence again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could a Daluo Dao fruit appear?\" Gu Changsheng exclaimed, \"Even a divine item of heaven and earth cannot condense a Daluo Dao fruit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said 'if.' What would happen if a Daluo Dao fruit appeared?\" Lady Bi Zhu persisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The cultivation world would stir up a boundless storm, and the top tier of powerhouses would fight until the Tao ceases to exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's a realm countless people cannot glimpse, a realm countless people dream of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many powerful beings fall at the doorstep of that realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In each era, the number of people who can enter that realm is few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a Daluo Dao fruit, even if not perfectly merged, given enough time, anyone could enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weakest among them would still be far stronger than the rest,\" Gu Changsheng explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Bi Zhu, swallowing hard, said, \"Then... do you think there's a chance someone obtained a Daluo Dao fruit and then tossed it away to give it to someone else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible. What kind of genius, what kind of demon, could afford to toss a Dao fruit away? Who wouldn't handle it with the utmost care?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you think the Human Emperor is still alive?\" Gu Changsheng exclaimed passionately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But quickly, he realized something: \"So, have you encountered such a person? And even a Daluo Dao fruit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What has happened to this world?\u003C\u002Fp>",1724,"2026-06-03T11:46:33.879Z","2026-06-03T11:46:41.884Z",1,"novelbin.me","ed541cb9555a909aaa24f3b8a8254febd3559c203be0b83ed5043e217ee25d3f","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1641","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1639",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
