Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health-Chapter 398 - 182: True Demon (Part 3)

"I see."

He Youyi said, "Generally speaking, a soul in the Mahayana Realm can hold at most ten million desires before it completely turns into a Desire Furnace Cauldron. You’re lucky, it seems to have just been born and isn’t very adept at this yet." He shook his head, "Otherwise, you might already have turned into a True Demon embryo."

Fan Wubing thought about the billion desires he had swallowed, wondering if that True Demon had ’gone back on its word’, it would have swallowed all the billions of desires here completely clean.

He said earnestly, "So it was so dangerous just now!"

The force of the exploding clone gradually dissipated.

The figure of the True Demon was nowhere to be seen.

Fan Wubing asked, "Dead?"

He Youyi shook his head, "A True Demon is formed by desires. As long as desires persist, it will remain indestructible. Before long, a second True Demon will appear."

"What if we eradicated all desires?"

He Youyi said, "There are countless people in this world who desire to become immortal. The desire for immortality has already transformed into the world’s desires. How could they be eradicated? Look at the desires behind that light screen."

Fan Wubing looked into the distance. The desires he had just swallowed promptly replenished themselves.

He Youyi sighed, "Until the day they can ascend to immortality, these worldly desires will remain unresolved."

Fan Wubing asked, "What does it mean they cannot ascend?"

He Youyi said somberly, "The Immortal Path has long since collapsed, and no one can ascend. Becoming immortal was a grand aspiration promised by Cultivators to the world. This unfulfilled vow has become an unbearably heavy burden of desires. Such desires cannot be dissolved by the Heavenly Dao, except through ascension."

"The Immortal Path has collapsed..." Fan Wubing realized.

Ahead, the light screen and the dazzling desires gently withdrew. The blood-red runes in the abyss slowly disappeared.

This abyss gradually revealed its true form; it was not an endless chasm, but a massive valley. The mountains above the valley slowly descended to fill it.

The two left the place together.

As they flew into the sky, they watched the mountains fall into the valley.

He Youyi said, "Consider it temporarily suppressed, but since a True Demon has already been nurtured, it won’t be long before it returns."

He relaxed his eyebrows slightly and smiled at Fan Wubing, "Everyone on Changsheng Continent should thank you for buying them a few more years to prepare."

Fan Wubing shook his head and asked, "Is there no way to counter it?"

He Youyi furrowed his brow, "There’s no way. In the entire world, there are twenty-one Fallen Immortal Lands, all similar. They’re like twenty-one rifts in the world that cannot be repaired, only trapping these desires in the Fallen Immortal Lands."

"Fallen Immortal Land... was once the Ascension Land, right."

He Youyi nodded, "According to records, when the Immortal Path collapsed, a magic sword severed all the Ascension Lands. Since then, they have transformed into the Fallen Immortal Lands, becoming breeding grounds for Obsession True Demons."

Fan Wubing’s Purple Mansion fixated its soul on the nearby Flying Sword Peach Blossom. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Peach Blossom trembled; if it were a person, it might already be tearfully claiming it didn’t remember what had happened.

"Such a thing exists..."

He Youyi sighed heavily, "I need to inform the major forces in the North and advise them to prepare in advance. A fully awakened Fallen Immortal Land is not something even the entire continent’s strength can handle."

He Youyi said, "A fully matured True Demon has the capability to destroy heaven and earth. What you encountered was just recently born," he furrowed his brows, "Logically, it shouldn’t have been born so quickly. I wonder if something unexpected occurred."

Afterwards, He Youyi bid farewell to Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing felt a little heavy-hearted.

For the first time, he realized this world was unable to ascend?

"Peach Blossom, what a mess you’ve caused!"

Peach Blossom shrank into itself, turning into a tape measure.

Fan Wubing immediately released his soul to search for Luo Qingyao, then he furrowed his eyebrows.
