Chapter 5

Ye Qinchuan swallowed the Danhai and soon fell into cultivation.

A third-grade spirit pill was enough to heal her injuries and temper her physical body.

Of course, for Ling Xiao, the third-grade spirit pill, which was incredibly precious in the eyes of the people of the Northern Wasteland, was no different from candy beans.

Because his mother was the top alchemy expert in the Holy Province, in charge of an entire alchemy holy land.

"Who are you really?"

At this moment, Yue Qiuci suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Ling Xiao coldly.

The overwhelming power that had suppressed heaven and earth earlier could not possibly belong to someone from the Four Wastelands.

But what truly shocked Yue Qiuci was that within that power, there was a trace of genuine demonic intent!!

This demonic intent was so overwhelming that even she could not resist it, like the source of all demons, shaking the heavens and earth.

So, from the beginning, she knew that everything Ling Xiao did might have been an act.

But... what could the Mystic Sword Sect offer that would make him go to such lengths?

Or, with his and the black-robed elder's strength, wouldn't it be a simple matter to destroy a sect and dominate a woman?

But!!

Even if Yue Qiuci knew that the young man in front of her was a demon, she had no way to argue.

Because who would believe the words of a female demon emperor?

Moreover, the background and strength of this young man had already transcended the boundaries of this world.

At his level, whether he was a immortal or a demon... what difference did it make?

"I know what you want to say. Don't worry, once we reach the Mystic Sword Sect, you can tell them I'm a demon and see how many will believe you."

Ling Xiao smiled, the demonic patterns in his eyes completely unhidden.

With Yue Qiuci's status, even if she revealed the truth, everyone would think she was deliberately framing Ling Xiao.

Earlier, the reason he sent his servants to destroy the Northern Wasteland Demon Sect was not to protect the righteous of the lower realms, but to continue gathering information.

However, after meeting Chu Yang and Ye Qinchuan, he had new ideas.

Usually, ancient relics and secret realms require a chosen one to open them.

Even demonic treasures, when in their hands, would be a matter of a single word.

Spirit treasures are not divided by immortals or demons; as long as one's Dao heart is firm, they will not be influenced.

But if a demonic treasure falls into the wrong hands, it will certainly become a heinous demon.

For Ling Xiao, with his antagonist setting, finding such a hidden treasure realm was like a dream.

But, where the chosen one goes, there is always a place of destiny.

Now, Chu Yang has likely returned to the Mystic Sword Sect, and as long as he figures out his golden finger, he will know if he has any connection to that demonic treasure.

"You..."

Yue Qiuci closed her eyes in despair, her eyes trembling.

At this point, her Danhai was ruined, and even if she survived by chance, she would become a cripple.

But, she had been betrayed and fallen into the abyss, and it was Chu Yang who saved her.

So, she did not want to involve him because of this.

In this world, the true difference between immortals and demons is probably... who wins and who loses.

An immortal can slay a person for the sake of the people, while a demon is willing to slaughter the world for the sake of one person.

It's just a matter of different principles.

"With your strength, why must you make things difficult for us mortals? If you let me go, I, Qiuci, am willing to follow you, no matter the cost."

In the past, with Yue Qiuci's proud nature, she would never have submitted voluntarily.

But now, to protect Chu Yang, she had no other choice.

That young man was sincere and trustworthy. If he saw her in this state, he would surely... be heartbroken.

"Alright! Now your chance has come. Go to the Mystic Sword Sect, tell everyone the truth, and then you can die."

Ling Xiao smiled sinisterly. A lower realm woman with no destiny had no right to follow him.

Ling Xiao naturally understood what Yue Qiuci was thinking; she was just a peach.

"You..."

Yue Qiuci's beautiful eyes narrowed, but Ling Xiao did not give her a chance to speak. The soul patterns in his eyes condensed, directly sealing her consciousness.

Earlier, when he awakened the system, he also obtained a soul secret technique called the Ancient Soul Capturing Art.

Now, combined with his Immortal Ascension soul, it was enough to suppress all the strong ones of the Four Wastelands.

Ling Xiao was also familiar with soul power.

In the past, all those great beings who reincarnated relied on their powerful souls.

It was said that in ancient times, there were experts who specialized in cultivating their souls, capable of transforming into countless avatars with a single thought.

While Immortal Ascension experts could not transform into avatars, they could cultivate a primordial spirit and roam the heavens and earth.

But the art of soul cultivation had long been lost, and when ancient relics occasionally appeared, they would inevitably attract many forces to compete.

But for Ling Xiao, this was not a problem.

The system store had everything!

He only needed to accumulate enough antagonist points to obtain whatever he needed.

As Ling Xiao's thoughts moved, a system interface appeared before his eyes.

"Soul Emperor Secret Canon, 100,000 antagonist points."

"Ancient Sage Bloodline, 100,000 antagonist points."

"World Seed, 999,999 antagonist points."

Ling Xiao carefully browsed through the items in the system store, discovering that it not only had ancient techniques and pills but also incredible treasures like world seeds and sage bloodlines.

The more precious the spiritual treasures, the more antagonist points they required.

Currently, the antagonist points he had were only enough to exchange for some Earth-grade martial arts and ordinary spirit weapons.

(Martial arts are divided into: Destiny, Sage, Heaven, Earth, and Mortal grades.)

(Spirit treasures are divided into: Heaven-connecting treasures, Dao vessels, divine weapons, spirit weapons, and treasure weapons.)

The Ten Thousand Dao Demon Technique he cultivated was itself the top Sage-grade martial art in the Holy Province.

So, Earth-grade martial arts were not very attractive.

Although his Heavenly Demon True Body was far stronger than any technique.

However...

The higher the realm of the demon body, the more Ling Xiao would be eroded by demonic thoughts.

If he could not control those demonic thoughts, no matter how strong his cultivation, he would eventually become a mindless killing machine.

This was why he joined the Ten Thousand Dao Demon Sect in the first place.

Originally, the Ling family wanted to use this top demon sect in the Holy Province to find a way to control Ling Xiao's demonic thoughts.

But it ultimately failed.

Heavenly Demon True Body, Nine Transformations True Demon.

If the demon appears in the world, what can the immortals do to me?

Currently, Ling Xiao's demon body is only at the first transformation level, and he can usually suppress it with his cultivation.

Moreover, as the young master of the demon sect, this secret was naturally concealed.

But once his demon body surpasses his realm, the demonic thoughts in his body will be uncontrollable.

At that time, not just the Four Wastelands, but the entire Five Domains will have no place for him.

So, even with the system, Ling Xiao still has a hellish start and must quickly plunder destiny and improve his cultivation.
