Those with higher cultivation and rich experience would be teleported directly from here to the front line at \"White Lion Market,\" where there were more demonic beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this day, a mid-stage Qi Refining Song family cultivator guarding the market entrance had just let a cultivator whose identity had been verified into the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up, he saw a young woman wearing a bamboo hat and purple clothes walking slowly from the direction of \"Cloud Mist Mountain\" in the east toward the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this woman coming alone from the dangerous \"Cloud Mist Mountain,\" the Song family cultivator felt a surge of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking closer, he discovered that the woman had suddenly closed the distance from a dozen zhang away to right in front of him, making him rub his eyes, thinking he had seen wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist, may I ask if this is Chiyan Market?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crisp voice of the purple-clad woman brought the confused Song family cultivator back to his senses. He hurriedly replied: \"What you say is correct, Fellow Daoist; this is indeed Chiyan Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>May I ask where you are coming from? Please state your identity before entering or leaving the market.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the Song family cultivator's explanation, the purple-clad woman smiled and took off her bamboo hat, revealing an exquisite jade-like face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Zilan, a loose cultivator from Guiyun Market. I have an appointment to meet a companion at Chiyan Market. I hope you can make it convenient for me!\" After speaking, the purple-clad woman handed over a spirit stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Coming from Guiyun Market, no wonder you dare to go to Cloud Mist Mountain alone. There have been many more demonic beasts in the east lately, and it’s not very peaceful; you should be careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your identity has been registered. Take this token, and you can enter and leave the market for free within half a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We do not accept spirit stones here. If you want to stay for a long time, you can take your spirit stones directly to the market's Law Enforcement Hall to rent a cave dwelling. Go on in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After writing down the purple-clad woman's name, the Song family cultivator tossed a token with her name on it to her and waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Fellow Daoist!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the purple-clad woman hurriedly put away the spirit stone, took the token, and walked into the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the purple-clad woman’s figure pass through the formation at the market entrance and disappear for a while, the Song family cultivator reluctantly withdrew his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strange, this person clearly only has mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation like me, so why did she make me feel a trace of unease? Staying in the market for too long really makes one more and more timid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We haven't been allowed into the mountains for more than half a year. I wonder when the Elder will take us to hunt demonic beasts again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering to himself, the Song family cultivator slowly closed the register he had just finished filling out and looked into the distance, feeling bored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the market, the purple-clad woman first strolled around the street, finally arriving outside the \"Law Enforcement Hall\" in the middle of the market. She looked up at the sign above and walked in with large strides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist, may I ask what business you have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to rent a cave dwelling here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! Follow me in! ... Uncle Xuanlong, someone is here to rent a cave dwelling again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Law Enforcement team cultivator guarding the door, hearing that the other party was here to rent a cave dwelling, nodded and shouted inside, bringing the purple-clad woman to an old man with gray hair and beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing her intention, the old man hurriedly invited her to sit down and took out a sheepskin map filled with cave dwelling locations, placing it in front of the purple-clad woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist, you have truly come to the right place. Our Chiyan Market just opened up many Grade B cave dwellings with nice scenery in the back mountain, which are perfect for a cultivator of your mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't worry, Fellow Daoist, our Song family market absolutely does not cheat customers. If you don't think it's good, you can go out and ask around, and you'll know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know what kind of cave dwelling you want to rent. Please take a look first, and I will help you find one. I guarantee you will be satisfied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the boastful introduction from the white-haired old man, the purple-clad woman didn't even look at the sheepskin map in his hand and smiled directly at the old man: \"I want to rent the Grade A No. 1 cave dwelling!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist, you may not know, but those Grade A cave dwellings are all rented by cultivators at the late Qi Refining stage or above. Your cultivation is only at the mid-stage Qi Refining level; where would you use it? I think...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, which cave dwelling did you just say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the white-haired old man was explaining, he suddenly thought of something and looked up to ask the other party carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the purple-clad woman, still smiling, softly uttered six words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grade A No. 1 cave dwelling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, a streak of azure sword light suddenly descended from the sky and landed outside \"Chiyan Market.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Song family cultivator guarding the door, seeing the azure figure not far away, was stunned and stood still in surprise! Then, after rubbing his eyes again to confirm he hadn't seen wrong, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Ancestor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingyu, who had just arrived, waved lightly at the person and, ignoring him, walked quickly into the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Song Qingyu’s figure disappeared, he finally came to his senses, feeling somewhat nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My eyes and reactions are getting slower and slower. I didn't hear of anything happening in the market today; why would it alarm the Ancestor to come here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the market, Song Qingyu soon arrived at the market's \"Law Enforcement Hall.\" Seeing the two Song family cultivators rushing up to bow, he immediately asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is the person renting the cave dwelling? Tell me again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to the Ancestor, it is a woman who came here alone. Her cultivation seems to be only at the fifth layer of Qi Refining... By the way, she said her name is Zilan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the old man explain the situation carefully, Song Qingyu nodded slightly: \"Alright, I know. You must remember this matter and not reveal it to anyone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, if anyone asks you about that person's identity in the future, you must inform me immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After admonishing the two people present, Song Qingyu left the \"Law Enforcement Hall\" and arrived outside a cave dwelling on the mountaintop in the back of the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After glancing at the restriction that had just been set up at the entrance of the cave dwelling, Song Qingyu’s spiritual power moved, and just as he was about to cast a sound transmission spell, he saw a streak of light flash out from the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm! You didn't come slowly. It seems those people are quite fast at sending messages!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the purple-clad woman suddenly appear beside him, Song Qingyu hurriedly put away his spell and asked softly: \"Fellow Daoist, why did you set up so many restrictions outside the cave dwelling? You aren't planning to stay here for a long time, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the purple-clad woman hurriedly waved her hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not it. It’s just that after being outside with Master for so many years, I’ve become accustomed to being cautious, so I was a bit careful. Don't misunderstand! Master is almost ready to come out of closed-door cultivation. She asked me to notify you that in three months, you will go with us to the place you mentioned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That place, didn't I tell you everything about it? Why do you still need me to go with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the confusion on Song Qingyu’s face, the purple-clad woman smiled and replied: \"I came this time just to pass on a message for Master. I can't answer this question for now. Why don't you wait until you see Master in the future and ask her in person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rest assured, if we had any malice toward you, you wouldn't be alive today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must have comprehended quite a bit of the mental cultivation method Master gave you; you shouldn't be unable to tell whether we are good or bad by now, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand everything you say, but you also know that I am just a cultivator from a small Golden Core family. I really don't want to get too involved in the affairs between Nascent Soul cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Song Qingyu finished speaking, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since some things have chosen you, it’s not something you can easily avoid. I have already told you everything that needs to be said, so I won't stay here any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the subsequent mental cultivation method for the Golden Core stage that Master asked me to pass on to you. Take it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the purple-clad woman finished speaking, she tossed a bamboo slip to Song Qingyu not far away, and then her figure flashed and quickly vanished from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the bamboo slip in his hand, Song Qingyu also showed a look of surprise and hurriedly placed the bamboo slip against his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-clad woman who had just left was the one Song Qingyu had encountered half a year ago while patrolling \"Cloud Mist Mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And her master was an expert whose cultivation had already broken through to the Nascent Soul realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, after Song Qingyu was captured by the purple-clad woman, she followed her to see the white-clad woman who was hiding in a cave to heal her wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the powerful sword cultivation aura emanating from the white-clad woman, Song Qingyu immediately guessed that she must be the person who had created the huge battlefield deep in \"Cloud Mist Mountain,\" and she felt very shocked in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Song Qingyu didn't expect was that the white-clad woman had seen through the sword cultivation inheritance Song Qingyu was practicing at a glance and told Song Qingyu that the person who had taught her the sword cultivation path was a Nascent Soul expert who had attained the Dao for many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the white-clad woman did not explain too much to her about that Nascent Soul expert, nor did she reveal the connection between them. After asking about the process of how Song Qingyu obtained the inheritance, she let her go and bestowed upon her a mental cultivation method that could be practiced in conjunction with the sword cultivation inheritance in her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only before Song Qingyu left, the white-clad woman required her to take an oath not to reveal anything about them to anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to the family, Song Qingyu carefully comprehended the mental cultivation method given to her by the white-clad woman and discovered its mysteries, which made her feel even more shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mental cultivation method given to her by the white-clad woman could actually be practiced in conjunction with the sword cultivation inheritance in her body, making her feel that her cultivation speed had significantly improved, which really made Song Qingyu feel somewhat unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a sword cultivator herself and being able to recognize the sword cultivation inheritance Song Qingyu had obtained, it showed that the white-clad woman should know where the inheritance she obtained came from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the mental cultivation bamboo slip bestowed upon Song Qingyu by the white-clad woman, which could help her cultivation, there might be some connection between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that the other party refused to tell the truth and insisted that she take them to find the predecessor's cave dwelling that had been almost emptied by them, which made Song Qingyu feel unpredictable and unable to guess what they were intending to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the white-clad woman looked seriously injured in the battle of \"Cloud Mist Mountain,\" and she didn't know what kind of powerful opponent she had provoked. Song Qingyu really didn't want to get too involved with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But due to the fact that the other party's strength was truly too powerful, Song Qingyu had no way to directly refuse the other party for a while and could only take one step at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, for now, the white-clad woman and the others had not harmed her and were willing to bestow a mental cultivation method upon Song Qingyu, which indeed did not look like they had any malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, just based on the white-clad woman’s powerful sword cultivation aura, let alone a small Golden Core cultivator like Song Qingyu, even if the \"Xiaoyao Sect\" Supreme Elder Li Mufeng took action, he might not be able to defeat the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I clearly told them there was nothing inside, why do they still want me to take them there? Could it be that something was missed back then!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting down the bamboo slip from her forehead, Song Qingyu stood there and pondered for a moment, then shook her head and turned to leave. — \"Donghuang State\" cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, winter passed and spring came. Song Qingming had been on \"Yuxuan Island\" for more than half a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a paddy field outside \"Yanhu Village,\" Song Qingming walked barefoot in the muddy paddy field, seriously and evenly scattering the rice seeds in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spring sun shone on the faces of every hard worker in the valley, adding a golden hue, as if predicting another year of harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by the laughter of many companions around him, Song Qingming, with a few drops of sweat on his face, finally scattered the rice seeds over the entire paddy field and slowly walked back to the field dam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Immortal Master, the dumplings made by Mother and Aunt have been delivered. Father is calling you to come over and eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the shout from a dark-skinned young man on the field dam not far away, Song Qingming hurriedly responded and walked to the ditch beside the paddy field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the flowing stream to clean the mud off his body, Song Qingming scooped up some stream water to wipe the sweat from his forehead before walking barefoot to a cool, shady spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Song Qingming walk over, an elderly woman nearby hurriedly brought him a bowl of steaming dumplings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After simply greeting everyone, Song Qingming picked up the bowl and slowly put the dumplings, which carried a hint of fragrance, into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As someone who loved to taste all kinds of food, no matter what good things he ate, Song Qingming always habitually slowed down his speed, allowing himself to feel more of the satisfaction brought by the delicious food in his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This habit, even after his cultivation reached the Golden Core stage where he had long since practiced grain Grain Bigu, still often accompanied him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Song Qingming had finished a large bowl of dumplings, the woman had long since collected the bowls and chopsticks put down by everyone around and carefully came to Song Qingming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Immortal Master, I made a pair of shoes for Yun'er. That child has been busy cultivating on the mountain for the past few years and hasn't been home. Please bring them to him next time you go back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yun'er the woman spoke of was her son, named Wang Qingyun, who was the child with spiritual roots that Song Qingming had discovered at Wang Qin's house in \"Yanhu Village\" years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Decades later, the elderly Wang Qin couple had long since passed away, and their son and daughter-in-law had become the same age as they were back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that remained unchanged standing here was Song Qingming, the Immortal Master who only came once every few decades, still with that relatively young face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the eldest son Wang Qingyun was tested and found to have spiritual roots, he was taken to the mountain to practice not long after, gathering little and parting often from his parents at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the look of expectation on the woman's face, Song Qingming also remembered his mother's eyes back then. He was stunned for a moment before taking a pair of brand-new cloth shoes from her somewhat rough hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, I should be returning to the mountain in a few days, and I will definitely bring them to Qingyun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even on \"Yuxuan Island,\" which was far from the secular world, there was a distinction between immortals and mortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivators like Wang Qingyun, who grew up on the island, besides the few fixed days they could return home, even if they were \"entering the world to practice,\" they had to be arranged to go to other mortal villages and could not stay directly in their own homes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That her son could have spiritual roots and become an immortal naturally made the woman happy, but it was a pity he couldn't stay by her side often.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there was regret, it could only be placed in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Song Qingming agree, she carefully put away the cloth shoes, and a hint of joy appeared on the woman's face as she hurriedly nodded in thanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the sun set behind the western mountains, Song Qingming, who had been busy all day, returned to the small house where he lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lighting the oil lamp and sitting cross-legged, Song Qingming’s spiritual power moved, and a thick classic immediately appeared, which he gently flipped through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been at the \"Grand Void Gate\" for more than half a year, besides occasionally returning to the mountain to help fellow disciples record the runes of the sealing formation, Song Qingming spent most of his time in \"Yanhu Village\" at the foot of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While experiencing the \"entering the world to practice\" task set by the sect, he was also studying the bamboo slips he had borrowed from the \"Grand Void Hall\" on the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These precious bamboo slips contained various insights on Nascent Soul formation left by predecessors of the \"Grand Void Gate.\" After studying them for only half a year, Song Qingming benefited a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides this, Song Qingming also took advantage of the gaps in his practice to often visit and seek advice from Fourth Senior Brother Zheng Xingyun, who lived in the same village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was an outer sect disciple, Zheng Xingyun did not treat Song Qingming, this junior brother, as an outsider and taught Song Qingming his experience of forming a Nascent Soul several times in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Bai Yuxian, Zheng Xingyun also attempted to break through to the Nascent Soul realm twice before finally succeeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as an inner sect disciple of the \"Grand Void Gate\" and a personal disciple of his master, the Soul Transformation cultivator \"Daoist Lingxu,\" the guidance and resources he could obtain were naturally incomparable to those of the ordinary Nascent Soul sect where Bai Yuxian was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his natural talent was not as good as a Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator like Bai Yuxian, Zheng Xingyun’s time to form a Nascent Soul was no later than Bai Yuxian’s. Both of them successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul realm at the age of less than three hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just over half a year, through continuous study and questioning at the \"Grand Void Gate,\" Song Qingming clearly felt that the Nascent Soul realm, which had been very blurry before his eyes, was slowly becoming much clearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, his confidence in condensing a Nascent Soul in the future had also increased a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he dared not say he had absolute certainty of successfully forming a Nascent Soul, Song Qingming had cultivated for so many years, and his heart was already firm about his future path, and he would not give up easily because of any temporary setback in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning, he would slowly digest these recorded insights on Nascent Soul formation, and after another ten or twenty years of accumulating spiritual power, Song Qingming would be confident that he could return to the \"Grand Void Gate\" to attempt to form a Nascent Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moon set and the sun rose. When the morning sun rose, Song Qingming slowly put down the bamboo slip in his hand, stood up, opened the door, and walked out of the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he picked up the wooden basin outside the house to fetch cold water, preparing to wash himself, Song Qingming saw the figure of Fourth Senior Brother Zheng Xingyun walking in from outside the courtyard and hurriedly put down what he was holding to bow to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Song, Master has summoned us to return to the sect. Pack up and go back quickly. I still have to go and greet other junior brothers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Senior Brother, for the message!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that it was his master summoning him, Song Qingming naturally dared not delay. He hurriedly returned to his residence to organize his belongings and then transformed into a streak of light to return to the \"Grand Void Gate\" on the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just after arriving at the mountain gate hall, Song Qingming saw Liu Yang standing in the crowd greeting him and hurriedly walked toward his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Liu, summoning so many fellow disciples in such a hurry, could it be that you are preparing to set up the demon-extermination formation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Song Qingming’s low inquiry, Liu Yang nodded: \"Senior Brother Song is right. I just asked the First Senior Brother; it is estimated that the formation will be set up soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haha! After preparing for such a long time, Master is finally going to take action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we can destroy that upper-realm True Demon in one fell swoop this time, we will all be meritorious ministers and should be able to share quite a bit of Heavenly Dao merit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, at least we won't have to worry about this hidden danger all the time. Perhaps the sect won't have to live in seclusion like this anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, a look of excitement also appeared on Liu Yang’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Song Qingming felt much the same as Liu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demonic cultivators inherited from the outside world are not favored by the Heavenly Dao in this realm. Cultivators in this realm who kill those practicing demonic cultivation inheritances can all gain some Heavenly Dao merit to a greater or lesser extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And accumulating too much Heavenly Dao merit can invisibly remove the evil aura formed on a cultivator due to killing other living beings, adding a bit of luck favored by the Heavenly Dao on the cultivator’s path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Destroying an upper-realm True Demon naturally goes without saying; the Heavenly Dao merit that can be obtained will certainly not be small.
