Chapter 1167

He Pingsheng walked out of the golden barrier and was immediately enveloped by a large mass of gray demonic energy.

Demonic energy, like immortal essence, is a type of energy that exists in the Immortal Realm.

It is not naturally black or gray; it only turns into this color after being refined by demons.

Just as immortal essence energy presents as five-colored after being refined by Xuan Sect immortals.

In essence, there is no difference between demonic and immortal.

It is just that the paths and means of cultivation are different.

Of course, compared to the cultivation methods of the Xuan Sect, the Demon Sect is more radical.

Countless demonic energy enveloped He Pingsheng and then domineeringly tried to invade his skin!

Even more, countless golden blood flew out from the demon body, turning into streaks of ancient runes in the void, sticking onto He Pingsheng's body.

According to previous experience, before long, the immortal enveloped by demonic energy would show signs of obsession and madness.

However, He Pingsheng did not.

He just sat quietly cross-legged in the void three feet above the ground.

Eyes closed in contemplation, his face calm.

A breeze blew by, blowing his lapels horizontally; the lapels swayed and flipped continuously, making a flapping sound.

"He seems to be fine!" Pingyue looked at He Pingsheng with some surprise.

A bit more gloom appeared on Huang Youshi's face.

Ji Wuxin said: "He Pingsheng is the peerless genius I have seen in my life; his talent and luck are definitely not below mine. It's a pity, I don't know how he ended up as a slave to Immortal Lord Cai Shi!"

Wen Buwan beside him said: "That's not it. Immortal Lord Cai Shi promised him that as long as he could complete the mission in this Mystic Realm, he would return the Heavenly Dao Slave Seal!"

"Pfft..."

A sneer appeared on the corner of Ji Wuxin's mouth: "Junior Sister Wen, you were born in the Immortal Realm and have always had people protecting you by your side; you haven't experienced the lower realm and don't know the sinister nature of the human heart!"

"Complete the mission?"

"Let me ask you... what mission?"

"How is the mission considered complete?"

This question left Wen Buwan unable to answer for a moment.

"Three of you, I'll leave this umbrella here for you to use. If the golden light on it weakens, just input your immortal essence into it!"

"Operate it yourselves!"

After finishing, Ji Wuxin also took a step and walked out of the golden barrier.

He came to He Pingsheng's side and also sat cross-legged in the void three feet above the ground.

He Pingsheng gently opened his eyes.

Ji Wuxin asked: "How is it?"

He Pingsheng said: "It is indeed as Fairy Pingyue said, there is an illusion formation here. I now suspect that this ten-thousand-zhang-tall Ghost King body is also an illusion!"

While speaking, He Pingsheng looked at the Ghost King body.

Looking from afar before, this thing was about a billion zhang tall!

Only after arriving did he find it was only ten thousand zhang.

It must be the illusion formation at work.

"Hmm!" Ji Wuxin nodded: "It should be so, but those golden runes don't seem like fakes!"

He Pingsheng said: "The golden runes are indeed not fake; they are a demonic inheritance. It's a pity that I know nothing about the affairs of the Demon Race, so I can't comprehend them for the time being!"

"What is Fellow Daoist Ji doing here?"

He Pingsheng looked at Ji Wuxin with suspicion!

Ji Wuxin said: "I'm afraid you'll get all the benefits alone, so I wanted to come over and see!"

He Pingsheng smiled and didn't speak.

He continued to close his eyes, released his spiritual sense, and began to perceive everything here.

He Pingsheng didn't know how to break the current crisis either; he could only search for the answer here.

He had no intention of merging with the demonic energy here, nor did he have any intention of comprehending this demonic inheritance.

I can't even finish using my own things, and I'm going to comprehend your demonic path?

Am I crazy?

Unless absolutely necessary, he would not pay attention to these golden runes.

Seeing He Pingsheng close his eyes, Ji Wuxin also closed his eyes.

The two of them perceived and searched for the opportunity here together.

Time flowed by bit by bit.

One day!

Two days!

Three days!

One year!

Two years!

Three years!

In the blink of an eye, three years passed.

He Pingsheng opened his eyes with a complex expression.

Ji Wuxin also opened his eyes and sighed: "Sigh... I'm afraid it won't work..."

"Fellow Daoist He, if we want to find the answer, I'm afraid we still have to look into this cultivation inheritance!"

He Pingsheng didn't answer his question but asked instead: "Is there any news from the outside?"

"Yes!" Ji Wuxin said: "My master said he has already sent people over, but unfortunately, the two people who came failed to reach this place!"

"And, he also asked me how Fang Long died, saying that Fang Long's master, Immortal Lord Long Xiao, is currently furious!"

"Fellow Daoist He, tell me, how should I reply?"

A smiling expression suddenly appeared on Ji Wuxin's face.

He Pingsheng said: "Whatever you want, that's your freedom; it has nothing to do with me!"

After finishing, he closed his eyes again.

What to do?

He Pingsheng took a deep breath and made up his mind: No matter what, let's try accepting this demonic inheritance first.

It's clear that this fellow Ji Wuxin doesn't want to accept it; if he doesn't accept it, then I'll accept it.

He Pingsheng released his mind in an instant.

Rumble...

Countless ancient immortal characters flickering with golden light surged toward He Pingsheng like a tide, drowning him in an instant.

Ji Wuxin beside him opened his mouth wide: "Fellow Daoist He... are you really going to comprehend the demonic inheritance?"

"Aren't you afraid of ruining your Xuan Sect heart?"

He Pingsheng didn't pay attention to him but placed all his spiritual sense on these demonic runes.

Comprehend it!

For something completely new, comprehending it is quite troublesome.

After all, He Pingsheng had almost never come into contact with demonic things before.

Facts proved that not everyone would be bewitched by the demonic energy here.

Ji Wuxin didn't go mad!

He Pingsheng wasn't affected in the slightest either.

After another forty-five years, the seemingly boundless tide of golden runes was finally comprehended by He Pingsheng.

Countless golden runes flew back toward him like a massive sea, turning into a golden point of light that merged into the depths of He Pingsheng's sea of consciousness.

At the same time, the ten-thousand-zhang-tall demon body suddenly collapsed.

Turning into nothingness.

And after the demon body collapsed, a fist-sized crimson inner core was revealed where the demon body had originally existed.

"This is..." Ji Wuxin saw the inner core, flew out with a swoosh, and was about to snatch it.

He Pingsheng just smiled and didn't pay attention, nor did he stop him.

When Ji Wuxin reached the red core, he wanted to take it away directly, but unfortunately, the fist-sized crimson inner core remained motionless in the void, as if it had been welded there.

He Pingsheng spoke indifferently: "This is the crystallization of the Demon King's lifelong cultivation, named 【Red Core】..."

"At the same time, this Red Core is also the energy supply for the entire fourth-tier immortal formation!"

"If you want to take this Red Core away, you must first refine it!"

Ji Wuxin asked: "How to refine it?"

He Pingsheng said: "You don't have the demonic inheritance, so naturally you can't refine it!"

"Step back... let me do it!"

"Once I refine the Red Core, the formation will dissolve on its own!"
