133: Chapter 133 I was defeated by the Demon King, the Demon King's Decree

[Chu Sheng stayed in Yu Rumeng's city for another seven days.]

[The first three days were spent stabilizing his cultivation; the last four days... his back ached.]

[Yu Rumeng was like a cat that could never be satiated. She handled city affairs during the day and tormented him at night.]

[From barely being able to parry at the start, Chu Sheng progressed to lasting half the night, and finally, he could even go back and forth with her.]

[Of course, "back and forth" was his own claim. Whenever Yu Rumeng heard it, she would only smile without saying a word.]

[The Old Grandfather clicked his tongue in amazement inside the ring: "This old master was known as Taixu back then, and handling seven women in one night was nothing. You brat, these past few days, you're even more drained than I was."]

[Chu Sheng retorted feebly: "You were just bragging; I'm doing this with real spears and live ammunition."]

[The Old Grandfather rarely failed to retort, but he fell silent for a moment before his tone suddenly turned serious: "Let's talk business. You're at the Spirit Sea now, so it's time this old master passed his true Legacy to you."]

[Chu Sheng was stunned for a moment: "True Legacy?"]

[The Old Grandfather said proudly: "Do you think the name Taixu is just for show? A Heaven Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique, the Taixu True Scripture. It was the foundation of this old master's dominance over the world."]

[Heaven Rank High Grade! Chu Sheng's eyes went wide.]

[The best Cultivation Technique he had ever seen was Earth Rank. What did Heaven Rank High Grade mean? That was something only Dao Palace powerhouses were qualified to Cultivate.]

[The Old Grandfather's phantom floated out of the ring, looking uncharacteristically solemn.]

["The Taixu True Scripture focuses on entering the Dao through the void, with the solid as the foundation. The void is the solid, and the solid is the void. Once Cultivated to Major Achievement, one can transform the void into the solid and the solid into the void."]

[Chu Sheng was completely lost: "Can you speak in human terms?"]

[The Old Grandfather rolled his eyes: "It means your Devilish Qi can turn into Spiritual Power, and Spiritual Power can turn into Devilish Qi. You can switch between righteous and demonic techniques at will."]

[Chu Sheng was stunned.]

[Switching between righteous and demonic at will? Then he wouldn't have to hide his abilities in the Tianfeng Kingdom, nor would he have to put on an act in the Demon Realm.]

[This wasn't just a Cultivation Technique; it was a cheat code. He began to Cultivate the Taixu True Scripture.]

[By day, he refined Yu Rumeng's primal yin; by night, he was refined by Yu Rumeng.]

[As one ebbed, the other flowed. Gradually, although he couldn't win in his struggles with Yu Rumeng, he could last longer and longer.]

[The way Yu Rumeng looked at him changed from seeing him as a "plaything" to a "treasure," and later, something indefinable was added to her gaze.]

[The way Fake Name looked at him changed as well. It shifted from initial scrutiny to something complex.]

[Sometimes she would run into Chu Sheng in the hallway, looking as if she wanted to say something, but she would ultimately just coldly turn her head away.]

[Huang Gula was still the same. Every time they met, he would slap Chu Sheng's shoulder and shout, "Brother, you're awesome!" The force grew stronger each time, making Chu Sheng suspect he was doing it on purpose.]

[One day, a group of Cultivators suddenly arrived in the city.]

[The leader was an High-grade Demon General at the Late Stage of Sea Opening. His aura was so terrifying that the entire city trembled. He was an envoy from the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.]

[Yu Rumeng greeted them personally, standing at the city gate, her blood-red dress fluttering in the wind.]

[She looked at the envoy with an attitude that was neither humble nor overbearing, even carrying a hint of lazy arrogance: "To what do we owe the honor of the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons's visit?"]

[The envoy cupped his hands, his gaze sweeping across the city. His tone was respectful but hidden with a sharp edge: "The Hall of Ten Thousand Demons heard of a disturbance in the Sea of Blood and came specifically to investigate. We heard you rescued a demon Cultivator; may we see him?"]

[Chu Sheng, hiding in the shadows, felt his heart skip a beat.]

[The Old Grandfather's voice rang out from the ring, low and grave: "The Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, one of the three major powers of the Demon Race. I'm afraid they didn't come for the Sea of Blood."]

[Chu Sheng asked: "Then why?"]

[The Old Grandfather was silent for a moment: "It might be for the thing in your head. The Hall of Ten Thousand Demons has coveted the Netherworld Ancestor's Legacy for countless years."]

[Yu Rumeng laughed, a very casual laugh, like she was brushing off an ignorant child: "He is my man. You won't see him. Now get out."]

[The envoy's expression changed. Several Demon Generals behind him took a step forward simultaneously, their auras exploding.]

[Yu Rumeng didn't move; she just looked at them with a beaming smile.]

[The envoy was silent for a long time before suddenly cupping his hands: "Pardon the intrusion." He led his people away, leaving as decisively as if they had never come.]

[Chu Sheng stepped out from the shadows, his back drenched in cold sweat.]

[Yu Rumeng looked at him, her smile fading, uncharacteristically serious: "You're in trouble. The Hall of Ten Thousand Demons is very interested in the Netherworld Ancestor's Legacy."]

[Chu Sheng asked: "Do they know the Legacy is with me?"]

[Yu Rumeng shook her head: "I'm not sure. But with the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons's methods, it's only a matter of time before they find out it's you."]

[Chu Sheng fell silent for a long time.]

[He couldn't hide here forever. No matter how strong Yu Rumeng was, she couldn't possibly turn against the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons for his sake.]

[He decided to leave for a while, to continue traveling through the Demon Realm to increase his strength and find Materials to repair the immortal slaying gourd and the demon refining pot.]

[Yu Rumeng didn't try to make him stay. She knew the blood contract was in place; Chu Sheng could run, but he couldn't hide.]

[It was just that the nights would be long, and losing a playmate was quite a pity.]

[She took a token from her sleeve and threw it to him. It was a black token with two words carved on it—"Rumeng."]

["Take this. If you encounter people from the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, it might be able to hold them off."]

[Chu Sheng took the token; it felt heavy in his hand and carried a faint aura, exactly like the delicate fragrance on Yu Rumeng's body.]

[Fake Name suddenly stepped forward: "I'm going with you."]

[Yu Rumeng glanced at her, her gaze lingering on her sister's face for a moment, before saying just two words: "As you wish."]

[Huang Gula also chimed in, his loud voice making the rafters shake: "I'm going too! I've wanted to go out for a stroll for a long time. Staying in this crappy place every day is boring me to death!"]

[The three of them left the hidden city and headed north.]

[Chu Sheng looked back once. The city hidden in the mountainside had already disappeared from view, leaving only that sliver of light at the entrance, like a thin crack.]

[After walking a long way, Chu Sheng finally couldn't help but ask Fake Name: "What exactly is your sister's cultivation?"]

[Fake Name was silent for a long time. So long that Chu Sheng thought she wouldn't answer, before she finally spoke in a very soft voice, as if afraid of being overheard: "Devil King. Dao Palace."]

[Chu Sheng almost fell from the sky.]

[The Spirit Sea is divided into Spirit Spring, Spirit Lake, and Sea Opening. Above Sea Opening is the Dao Palace.]

[The strongest person he had seen in the Tianfeng Kingdom was Jiang Wuji at the Early Stage of Sea Opening, who could slap him to death with one hand.]

[Dao Palace? That was an existence capable of moving mountains and filling seas; she could slap a hundred of him to death with one hand.]

[He slept with a Dao Palace expert? No, he was slept with by a Dao Palace expert.]

[The Old Grandfather laughed hysterically inside the ring, doubling over so much his phantom was shaking: "Dao Palace! You brat, you slept with a Devil King! No, you were slept with by a Devil King! You've got my style from back in the day!"]

[Chu Sheng's face turned pale, and his legs began to tremble: "She won't hunt me down, will she?"]

[Fake Name looked at him expressionlessly: "My sister said that if you die, she will be very sad."]

[Chu Sheng fell silent. This sounded like concern, but the more he thought about it, the more unsettling it felt.]

[He felt the Devil King Token in his robes, then the pile of fragments in his Storage Pouch.]

[The immortal slaying gourd, the phoenix ring, and the demon refining pot were all useless now.]

[To repair these things, he needed a large amount of rare Materials, and those Materials could only be found deep within the Demon Realm.]

[Right now, he was at the Early Stage of Spirit Spring; he couldn't beat a Sea Opening expert, let alone a Dao Palace expert. But at least he could run now.]

[He took a deep breath and looked toward the north.]

[There lay the deeper parts of the Demon Realm. White Bone City, Blood Moon City, Nine Nether Palace, Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, and the Blood God Sect. It was dangerous, but also full of opportunities.]

["Let's go." He quickened his pace.]

Chu Sheng watched this scene and laughed so hard he slapped his thigh.

"A Devil King! This wasn't a loss! Even though he was the one being slept with, she's still a Dao Palace expert! Many people couldn't get that even if they begged for it!"

He took a sip of tea, then felt a bit worried. "But the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons has their eyes on him now; that's no joking matter. I hope Yu Rumeng's token works."

He looked at the figure walking across the northern wasteland on the screen and murmured.

"Take care, brother. If all else fails, go back and find Yu Rumeng. Didn't she say she'd be sad?"
