428: In spiritual practice, one wrong step leads to another!

Ji Cangsheng merely swept a glance around indifferently without speaking. With one step, he appeared at the top of the Ascending Heaven Road. This was a platform, exuding Primordial Qi, as if the world had just been created.

He walked indifferently to that cold, slender figure, slowly landed, and sat beside her, wearing the appearance of an old friend meeting up, as several cups of immortal wine appeared out of thin air.

"Luo Li."

"How is it? Years ago, I already said that if you married me, you might have been spared this tribulation. Do you regret it?"

Ji Cangsheng's voice was ethereal, carrying a hint of mockery.

At this moment, although Luo Li's face was pale as death, she was still stunningly beautiful. Her face was like meticulously carved jade; her eyebrows were like distant ink-painted mountains, with a hint of coldness in their slightly upturned tips. Her eyes were bright and clear, like cold stars twinkling in the night sky, exuding an aura that transcended the world.

At this moment, she raised her head with a trace of coldness, glanced indifferently at Ji Cangsheng, and parted her red lips: "Get lost!"

However, Ji Cangsheng gave a calm smile and looked at the Ascending Heaven Road, saying: "So many years have passed, yet your temper hasn't changed at all..."

"Most of our peers from back then are nearly dead; only you remain. Seeing you today is also our final farewell, so I'll say a few more words..."

"Cultivation, one wrong step, every step wrong. Once the move is made, there is no regret..."

"I am already the Lord of the Immortal Realm, while you are a prisoner. Truly, things have changed and people are different..."

"Forget it..."

"Let's not talk about that. Let me tell you about other things you'd love to hear..." Ji Cangsheng silently took a sip of wine and said softly.

"It's a pity you didn't participate in the great war back then. That scene was truly magnificent. What is an Immortal Realm war compared to this war of destruction that engulfed the entire Universe, three thousand Great Worlds, and ninety thousand Small Worlds? It falls far short..."

"Do you remember that fat Mountain Lord of the Fifth Mountain? The one who loved cooking the most? He was sliced to death by the Gods and Demons. I actually admired him; he didn't even frown. That soul-scraping blade didn't just scrape the Physical Body, but also the Divine Soul. Admirable, truly admirable..."

"Mentioning him, I have to say, I never expected the most timid Seventh Mountain Lord to be the hardest bone to chew. The power of that Pangu Killing Formation was truly formidable; even my father fell into it..."

"It's just a pity that in front of the Gods and Demons, it was still not worth mentioning. Since he liked playing with Formations, I let him taste ten thousand years of suffering in the Asura Formation. Not bad, he resisted for over nine thousand seven hundred years before his Divine Soul finally dissipated..."

"And remember the Third Mountain's Empress Mountain Lord? She doted on you the most, with a heart of pure gold. In the end, she was humiliated to death by Lord Divine Profound Star, who is most interested in that sort of thing..."

"The one I admire the most is still your Revered Master, the Eighth Generation Demon Sealer whom even Celestial Emperor Jun Tian respected greatly back then. Truly impressive. Blocking five Gods and Demons at the Seven-Turn Dao Venerable Realm alone—the Ancient Dao is indeed terrifying. No wonder the Gods and Demons wanted to destroy the Demon Sealing Sect so badly. Only now that I have entered the Dao Venerable Realm do I realize how strong the Eighth Generation Demon Sealer was back then..."

"However, he was later blown to pieces by Lord Divine Heavenly Dao; his blood spilled across the starry sky. Truly heroic!"

"Enough!"

A cold shout came with a sobbing tone.

Luo Li was trembling all over, her sharp nails digging deep into her flesh. Her internal dao palace showed signs of shattering; this was caused by forcing her Divine Ability. But the shackles on her were not from the Immortal Realm; they came from the Gods and Demons, so how could she possibly break free?

In her eyes, aside from tears, there was endless killing intent. Her pupils had turned blood-red, as if she had become possessed.

Every time she heard about the tragic state of these elders she loved most, her heart felt as if it were being twisted by a knife!

She hated!

She hated that she wasn't there back then!

She also hated her own weakness. Even if she had been there, what could she have done!!

"What?"

"Can't bear to listen anymore?" Ji Cangsheng smiled, took a sip of wine, and then added: "I am being kind. You weren't there back then, so I'm letting you know just how miserable the Demon Sealing Sect was that day!"

"Ji Cangsheng, what exactly are you trying to say!" Luo Li's teeth were almost crushed as she looked at him coldly.

Ji Cangsheng couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha, Luo Li, oh Luo Li, I thought you didn't regret it. Seeing you like this..."

As he spoke, his tone turned cold and sinister, his expression darkening as he continued.

"Only then can I vent the hatred from when you rejected me years ago!"

"That's enough!"

"I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. Do you know why Shen Yuhuo wanted to take you to the Lower Realm but was blocked, and instead placed you on this Ascending Heaven Road?"

Hearing this, Luo Li's heart tightened. She immediately understood something and glared at Ji Cangsheng.

"Scum!!"

Her voice had become somewhat hoarse.

"Smart." Ji Cangsheng, as if he hadn't heard the insult, chuckled and added: "It is precisely to make the remnants of the Immortal Realm and the Demon Sealing Sect from back then appear. They all know the classic of mountains and seas is in your hands; it is impossible for them not to come..."

"This is also the last chance for these remnants..."

"How about this? If you don't want to see them throw their lives away for nothing, why not hand over the classic of mountains and seas? I will spare them; it can be considered fulfilling the friendship of having once shared the same Realm..."

"Of course, there is one more thing I must remind you. Although I have entered the Dao Venerable Realm and have long lost interest in desire, you, Luo Li, are the exception. If some things are not done, my thoughts will never be clear. The Gods and Demons have promised that regardless of which descendant of the Gods and Demons you are gifted to, I will toy with you for three days first..."

"Hehe, how is it? Happy?"

Ji Cangsheng squinted and smiled, looking like a completely different person from his previous overbearing, world-despising appearance.

Once these words were spoken, Luo Li's face turned cold as frost. Although she looked calm, her heart was already in turmoil, accompanied by a deep sense of powerlessness, just like back then.

What to do...

They cannot come!

This is a trap set by the Gods and Demons!

If they are buried because of me, even if I, Luo Li, die, I will have no face to see my Revered Master...

The classic of mountains and seas...

Suddenly!

Luo Li's expression changed slightly. She thought of the anomaly of the classic of mountains and seas earlier. That was the aura emitted only when the classic of mountains and seas recognized a Revered Master. The Ninth Generation Demon Sealer has already appeared; everything still has a turning point!

Must drag this out!

Must drag this out!

"The Ninth Generation Demon Sealer has appeared?"

After this laughter rang out, Luo Li was immediately stunned.

Daoist Heart-to-Heart Connection!

How could I make such a low-level mistake!

Ji Cangsheng, you deserve to die!!

She immediately shouted angrily, carrying boundless killing intent.

"Ji Cangsheng, the biggest mistake I ever made back then was sparing your life!!!!"

Ji Tian chuckled and stood up, his expression returning to a look of disdain as he swept his gaze across the entire Immortal Island.

"Hehe, that's truly interesting. But in just these few years, how far could he have Cultivated? With the incomplete Heavenly Dao of the Fourth Star, it's hard to say if he could even step into the Immortal Realm..."

"However, knowing this news means I haven't made this trip in vain..."

"Luo Li, you are still the same as back then, liking to believe in those impossible miracles..."

"Look, aren't they here to die now?"

Once these words were spoken, Luo Li was instantly stunned, looking stiffly into the distance. There, figures were stepping through the air, exuding boundless Evil Qi. Among those people were existences she was familiar with.

At this moment, Luo Li's heart was in chaos.
