Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises-Chapter 518 - 195: Demon Nest
...
"Pay attention in the upcoming period, all of you."
"News just arrived that there was an attack on the sealed site at Celestial Blade Peak, but fortunately, they didn’t succeed," Men Liuyuan said with a heavy expression.
"As expected, they’re attacking various major sects and family strongholds everywhere, aiming to keep these forces tied up so they can find opportunities to break the major seals in the Great Wei Kingdom."
Gu Ye’s expression also turned much more serious.
Lin Zheyu listened with some confusion; he didn’t know much about things related to demons and monsters.
From what he understood, it seemed only Martial Artists at the Huajin Level and above had the right to know.
Those below the Huajin Level mostly had only a vague idea.
"Is there really a pure demon suppressed on Celestial Blade Peak?"
"The kind that can’t be killed?"
Lin Zheyu was greatly astonished in his heart.
If pure demons were truly powerful to such an extent, what roles would humans have!
"You could say so."
"Not just Celestial Blade Peak; the entire Central Plains is a region that suppresses demons, and Celestial Blade Peak is just an inconspicuous part of it."
"There are thousands of places similar to Celestial Blade Peak."
Men Liuyuan didn’t hide it from Lin Zheyu.
With Lin Zheyu’s level of strength, he was also qualified to know some of the secrets of this world.
"The so-called immortality of pure demons doesn’t mean they can’t die."
"The reason they don’t die is that within pure demons, there’s a demon lair. After leaving a spirit and flesh imprint inside the lair, they can be reborn as long as they retrieve the imprint after death."
"However, the cost of rebirth is very high. Most demons only have one chance for rebirth, with only a few exceptionally talented ones being able to reborn multiple times."
Gu Ye added.
She noticed Lin Zheyu’s gaze was a bit heavy, so she smiled and said, "Although demons have a chance for rebirth, because the cost is too high, ordinary demons simply don’t qualify for rebirth."
"Is there a demon lair on Celestial Blade Peak?"
Lin Zheyu asked.
He was quite interested in a demon lair that could allow demons to reborn.
"How could that be."
"If demon lairs were rampant to such an extent, we could only surrender."
"There is a time-space node on Celestial Blade Peak."
"The time-space node is linked to a demon lair."
"Every mid-June, this time-space node is most active, and thus a stronger person wields their blade intent to span the void and suppress the time-space node, preventing demons from emerging from it."
Gu Ye explained.
The blade intent on Celestial Blade Peak originates from this.
However, this time-space node is relatively weak, with only the weakest demons, or even demon puppets, emerging from it.
Therefore, that strong person even had the leisure to transform Celestial Blade Peak into a training ground for Martial Artists.
"I see!"
"Time-space nodes... demon lairs... this world is really interesting," Lin Zheyu murmured softly.
"Don’t think too much about it."
"Although your strength is still far from pure demons, with your talent, you will one day step into that realm, too,"
Men Liuyuan said to Lin Zheyu.
Because they worry that knowing too much truth might affect a Martial Artist’s heart for the Martial Dao, only Martial Artists at the Huajin Level and above are informed of the truth about demons.
The weakest demons possess terrifying strength equivalent to Grandmaster-level Martial Artists.
If Martial Artists were made aware that their entire lives might not surpass the weakest pure demons, their heart for the Martial Dao would surely take a heavy blow.
"Thank you for the reminder, Uncle,"
Lin Zheyu replied.
Knowing the truth about demons, Lin Zheyu felt no fear or discouragement; instead, there was excitement and eagerness.
The peak combat power of this world was far stronger than he imagined.
This is truly wonderful!
"Things have been strange recently; those people’s goals might not just be the original time-space node. They might want to establish a new time-space node."
"They’re doing so many things to divert attention."
"But this is unrelated to us; true strong individuals will confront them."
"If we encounter strong individuals attacking, those within the range of Tengshe Mountain should be killed on the spot, but under no circumstances should you chase those who flee."
Men Liuyuan instructed.
After imparting some more precautions, Men Liuyuan left first.
"Junior Brother, do you have confidence in dealing with that Yue Chengzhi?"
"Do you want me to strike first to half-kill him, and then you go up?"
Gu Ye said with a smile.
Her cute and delicate face said such words; even after spending days with her, Lin Zheyu was still somewhat unaccustomed.
"No need, he’s just ranked 53 on the Hidden Dragon List," Lin Zheyu shook his head and said.
"Haha, no wonder you’ve cultivated the Tyrannical True Intent. Such strong confidence suits my taste!" Gu Ye laughed heartily and said.
In the blink of an eye, the afternoon came.
The golden sunlight fell, and the sunset scenery of Tengshe Mountain was truly enchanting.
Lin Zheyu sat cross-legged at the mountaintop, feeling the cool breeze.
The vast energy of Qi Blood within him, under his control, dispersed into countless strands of silk-like energy, penetrating into every bone of his body.
"Uncle, Yue Chengzhi has arrived."
Before long, a disciple came over and said respectfully.
Lin Zheyu slowly opened his eyes and nodded slightly.
Rising to his feet, with a light tap of his toe, his figure swiftly floated towards the mountainside.
"Great body technique!"
Seeing Lin Zheyu’s arrival, an unfamiliar man voiced out.
He was Yue Chengzhi, the one who came to challenge.
Yue Chengzhi was tall and muscular, with his entire body covered in rugged muscles, standing a head taller than Lin Zheyu.
"I heard that Bitao Pavilion recently produced a new True Disciple with the potential to become a Dao Child of Infinite Sect, so I came to see."
