Being seen through as a Demon Cultivator, Fan Wubing wasn’t surprised at all. Unknowingly, he had become somewhat accustomed to this woman being able to see through everything.

So he didn’t say anything.

Jiang Sha extended her left hand to Liu Qingqing, who began pressing and massaging her fingertips, helping to relieve the numbness brought by using her cultivation.

"What’s this about?" Fan Wubing asked.

While massaging, Liu Qingqing explained to Fan Wubing, "The Hall Master’s use of cultivation worsens the curse, causing her left hand to become extremely numb and itchy, needing massages for relief. Watch carefully, because you’ll have to do this in the future."

"Alright."

Fan Wubing earnestly began to learn.

Afterward, Liu Qingqing explained in detail what needed to be done to take care of Jiang Sha, the points to pay attention to, and what taboos to avoid.

As described, Jiang Sha’s daily life was quite ordinary.

She got up at 5 a.m. to groom and dress; 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

At 7 a.m., she went out for a breath of fresh air for an hour;

At 9 a.m., she returned to her room to read for an hour;

At noon, she went out to enjoy the sun for an hour;

In late noon, she took a nap for an hour;

At 3 p.m., she went out for a breath of fresh air for an hour;

At 5 p.m., she went back to her room to read for an hour;

From 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., was the preparation before sleep, burning incense, bathing, washing, and changing clothes, then entering the coffin. Yes, Jiang Sha slept in a coffin. It was custom-made to alleviate the pain brought by the Heavenly Dao’s curse to some extent and assist in recuperation.

This was Jiang Sha’s daily life.

Finally, Fan Wubing couldn’t hold back, expressing his doubts, "Isn’t this the daily life of a sickly lady stuck in the boudoir? Jiang Sha is the Slaughter Demon Lord, in charge of Demonic Qi’s Slaughter Hall, a figure who strikes terror across the land! Instead of taking lives, she’s all about preserving them!"

Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes, too lazy to explain further, "In a month, come on time, don’t be late." With that, she waved her hand and left.

Fan Wubing felt something wrong with his mind, seeing a Demon Cultivator not doing evil and yet feeling discontent.

Just like those who believed he should die because of the Heavenly Slaughter.

Fan Wubing walked out of Jiang Sha’s palace, only then having the time to look around the vast Slaughter Hall.

It seemed similar in construction to the Li Palace of the Great Li Dynasty, but here it was utterly empty, silent as death. Except for some flowers and plants, there wasn’t even a single insect.

According to Liu Qingqing, the Slaughter Hall used to be the most prosperous among the eight Demon Dao forces, with the most people. But after Jiang Sha failed to reshape the Path to Immortality, struck by the Heavenly Dao’s curse, everyone in the Slaughter Hall died, leaving only the two of them.

The outside world speculated that Jiang Sha sacrificed all the Demon Cultivators in the Slaughter Hall to practice the Life-taking Demonic Skill.

After that, the Slaughter Hall completely fell into silence.

The time when Jiang Sha failed to reshape the Path to Immortality was three hundred years ago.

It was exactly the year when the Great Li Dynasty last embarked on the Imperial Dynasty path.

It’s hard to say if this was just a coincidence.

But Fan Wubing really didn’t want to stay in this cemetery-like Slaughter Hall any longer.

He had too many things to do.

In these twenty years, he wasn’t truly asleep. Through the perspective of all beings, he basically knew what happened around the world.

The Fallen Immortal Land had fully erupted, the wheel of the millennial changes was slowly rolling forward.

Countless tall buildings would collapse, and countless more would rise from the ruins.

And the first thing he had to do was find Peach Blossoms, then go home and have a look.

However, this time, he might not be able to return home as "Fan Wubing."

Many things aren’t as simple as imagined, and can’t be resolved with just a pair of fists.

Firstly, the world is complicated, and people’s minds are unpredictable;

Secondly, fists aren’t hard enough; if he could fill the skeleton with Great Wilderness Cyan Dragon, he could punch the Heavenly Dao dead, how could he still be considering these?

With nearly three thousand Capital Blood Bar supporting his Dragon Walk, Fan Wubing crossed thousands of miles in an instant and disappeared into the horizon.

At 9 p.m.,

Liu Qingqing finished bathing and changing Jiang Sha, gently placing her into a purple-black coffin, adorned with dark patterns on the outside and turquoise-gold bedding inside.

After lying down, a strong aura of fatigue appeared between Jiang Sha’s eyebrows.

Her eyes became cloudy and lifeless.

Liu Qingqing held her left hand, guiding Qi while massaging, and asked:

"Hall Master, can we really trust Fan Wubing? He doesn’t seem like someone who would quietly stay put."

In a deep voice, Jiang Sha replied, "I don’t have much time left, can’t afford to worry too much."

A sliver of sorrow brushed through Liu Qingqing’s eyes.

A wisp of Demonic Qi suddenly disturbed the space, appearing out of nowhere, landing inside the palace. Liu Qingqing picked it up, saying:

"Someone has finally ascended the Path of the Demon Lord to replace the Ke You Demon Lord."

"When will it begin?"

"In a year."

"Who is the ascendant?"

Doubt flickered in Liu Qingqing’s eyes, "A Demon Cultivator named ’Lv Liang,’ seemingly from Changsheng Continent. An obscure little demon? Why choose him? Hall Master, you—"

Just as she was about to ask Jiang Sha’s opinion, she saw her eyes already closed, breath stopped, and chest no longer heaving, her whole being enveloped in a deathly aura.

Liu Qingqing sighed, closed the coffin, layered it with several prohibitions, and floated away. The curse on Jiang Sha had eaten away most of her lifespan; she also needed to go into seclusion for some time to adjust herself, or she might fall into the realm of the Five Decays.

...

Fan Wubing was now incredibly fast, reaching the Sea of Eternal Life within days.

Feeling the sea breeze of the Sea of Eternal Life blowing.

"Feels great!"

His mood was good, having regained life anew, his understanding of the Dao and Qi advanced to another level. Observing the world for twenty years from the perspective of all beings was a rare experience, significantly enhancing his Life Dao.
