114: Demonic cultivators reappear?

"Don't worry, we'll definitely find it. At worst, we'll just get some Karma on us!"

Chen Xian was like a louse-ridden man unfazed by more bites, or a debtor unburdened by more debts.

After all, he still owed the Fearless Sword Saint a Karmic debt.

What's adding a little more Karma on top of that!

Especially since he possessed the System; perhaps one day he could find information about the master of the Sword Tomb.

That was still far better than being trapped in the Sword Tomb for a lifetime!

"You damn well aren't afraid, but I am!"

The Moon Demon felt utterly helpless at this moment, thinking his luck was truly the worst!

After falling in ancient times, his only remaining wisp of a soul was awakened.

He originally thought he could joyfully possess someone and achieve great things for the Demon Race!

But he never expected to encounter Chen Xian. Not only did he fail to possess the Immaculate Sacred Body,

he was instead suppressed by the soul-forbidding bead and became Chen Xian's subordinate.

Even so, the Moon Demon hadn't given up. As long as he found an Opportunity, or reached an agreement with Chen Xian, he could be free.

And then what!

Now Chen Xian had agreed to this massive pitfall!

In his previous life, he was extremely cautious, never touching even a speck of Karma!

But now, he was completely covered in it.

"Little girl, don't you laugh either. When this kid agreed, both you and I would also be stained by its Karma!"

Because Chen Xian had just said they would help look for it together.

Zhou Duoer, however, didn't have so many complaints.

Instead, she said with a smile, "Well, there's no helping it. After all, the Young Lord already agreed."

"Aren't you angry at all?"

"My life was given by the Young Lord. Stepping onto the path of cultivation was also taught by him. I won't oppose anything the Young Lord does!"

Hearing Zhou Duoer's words, Chen Xian pointed at her and said to the Moon Demon, "Look at her!"

For fuck's sake!

The Moon Demon's cat face looked utterly foul!

"Have you been brainwashed by that bastard Chen Xian? He's a bad person!"

Zhou Duoer shook her head.

"If he were a bad person, why would he use yaochi holy water for me to bathe in?"

"If he were a bad person, he wouldn't have guided me to comprehend the Sword Dao, nor would he have passed on the Sword Saint's Legacy to me!"

If before, Zhou Duoer thought Chen Xian was an evil person who enjoyed bullying men and women, and was somewhat guarded against him,

now she believed Chen Xian was the best person in the world.

Because everything Chen Xian gave her, every Opportunity,

was something every Cultivator dreamed of.

How could that not be considered good!

As for the Moon Demon, he was now left speechless.

If he were Zhou Duoer's age and treated this way by someone,

he would probably have long since pledged his life in golden service!

Chen Xian said smugly, "See? That's what you call a reputation!"

Moon Demon: "..."

As for Chen Xian, he looked at the remaining two pieces of intelligence.

[Daily Intelligence 2: The Shanhai Secret Realm is extremely dangerous. Acting alone makes one highly susceptible to perishing.]

[PS: Map of the Shanhai Secret Realm!]

Chen Xian opened the map.

He thought to himself, 'Holy shit.'

Not to mention, this System was becoming more and more user-friendly.

It actually gave him a map marked with mountains and rivers.

Although he knew the Shanhai Secret Realm was the number one Secret Realm in the North Continent,

and that countless Cultivators came every year, first to temper themselves, and second to seek Opportunities, weapons, Medicinal Pills, and such!

He never expected the Secret Realm to be this vast.

It was practically a thousand times larger than the Lake Bottom Secret Realm.

He'd keep this; it would definitely be useful when he went.

He continued reading.

[Daily Intelligence 3: Tonight at midnight, demonic cultivators, allied with the Five Poisons Sect, intend to attack the dragon boat. They plan to take Scions of aristocratic families from the North Continent hostage to incite a major upheaval!]

Chen Xian: "..."

Seriously? Are these damn pests never-ending?

He suddenly looked at the Moon Demon.

Speaking of demonic cultivators, he had a heavyweight one right here.

"Moon Demon, let me ask you. Why do demonic cultivators like to operate in the North Continent?"

"I haven't heard of demonic cultivators being as active anywhere else as they are in the North Continent!"

The Moon Demon snorted coldly.

He said in a muffled voice, "What do you know! The North Continent is the 'Dragon's Rising Land' for us demonic cultivators! The first-generation Devil Emperor was born in the North Continent and dominated the world!"

"Of course, the reason we like operating in the North Continent isn't just because of that. It's also because the first-generation Devil Emperor left behind a demon canon! It's the Supreme treasure of demonic cultivation. Whoever obtains it can not only become the Devil Emperor but also rightfully lead all demonic cultivators!"

"Is that demon canon also in the North Continent?"

"Mhmm!"

The Moon Demon said excitedly, "Legend has it that whoever gains the North Continent's Dragon Vein will surely find the demon canon. Precisely because of this, demonic cultivators rush forward wave upon wave, disregarding danger to stir chaos in the North Continent. Only when the North Continent is in great turmoil and the Spiritual Veins are fully revealed can the demon canon be found! Then we can dominate the world!"

Tsk!

Chen Xian finally understood the deep-rooted reason for demonic cultivators in the North Continent.

East, South, West, North, Center.

Each land has a main Spiritual Vein beneath it.

Usually hidden underground, impossible to find.

But when the world falls into great chaos, the Spiritual Veins will actively reveal themselves.

So, demonic cultivators stirring chaos in the North Continent is to force the Spiritual Veins to appear.

He never imagined there was such profound meaning behind their actions.

The Moon Demon looked at Chen Xian.

"What? Kid, suddenly so interested in us demonic cultivators? How about joining us?"

"I possess the Great Dao Scripture of Demonic Cultivation, which can guarantee you reach Quasi-Saint, or even prove your Dao and achieve Ascension!"

Chen Xian said mockingly, "And then end up like you, failing to prove the Dao, struck by heavenly lightning until only a wisp of your remnant soul remains, clinging to a miserable existence?"

Moon Demon: "..."

That little mouth of his was like it was smeared with poison!

Seeing the man and the cat bickering, Zhou Duoer couldn't help but chuckle quietly.

"Young Lord, it's almost midnight. Can I go back?"

"No!"

Chen Xian looked at Zhou Duoer seriously and said, "Tonight, you stay here with me."

Zhou Duoer: "???"

She had just finished praising him.

And now he couldn't hold back, was that it?

"Young Lord, I'm still young..."

Chen Xian rolled his eyes.

"What are you thinking!"

"I have a feeling there might be major trouble on the dragon boat tonight."

"You stay in my room!"

Hearing this, Zhou Duoer decisively sat down.

If it were a month ago, and Chen Xian said this, Zhou Duoer might have thought he was talking nonsense.

But during this past month in the Sword Tomb,

everything Chen Xian did made Zhou Duoer clearly realize that the Young Lord's premonitions were always one hundred percent accurate!

So if he said there was a big event,

then there definitely was a big event.

The Moon Demon said with interest, "I've heard that the arts of the Eight Trigrams and the Zhouyi can foretell the future. But if used excessively, deciphering the secrets of heaven... one can suffer Karmic backlash!"

"By that time, I'm afraid one's cultivation realm could fall, or one could perish!"

"You'd be so kind as to tell me this?"

"If I died, wouldn't you be free?"

The Moon Demon sneered, "I've found it's not bad following you. At least over this past month, my remnant soul has been able to recuperate!"

This past month, it wasn't just Chen Xian and Zhou Duoer who benefited.

The Moon Demon did too!
