It has been more than a month since Xu Jingming left Cheng'an Mansion. His house is still in ruins. No one dares to seize it or rebuild it without authorization.
On top of the ruins, there are two people standing now, one is a burly man with a beard, and the other is 'Liu Chang', the chief officer of the local Demon Subduing Department.
"Sir," Liu Chang said, "After the battle between Wu Ming and the Lord of Dongming Mountain, this house was in ruins. It has been more than a month and it is still the same as before, with no changes." The burly man looked around carefully and frowned: "In the file
As mentioned, the Lord of Dongming Mountain shouted for help many times before he was killed?
"Yes."
Liu Chang nodded, "There was a lot of movement at that time. I used my secret method to spy from a distance and clearly saw the Lord of Dongming Mountain asking for help many times. Judging from his expression and tone, it was probably not a lie! He even asked for help before he died.
"His master? Do you think he could be a demon?" the burly man asked.
"The Lord of Dongming Mountain has the ultimate strength of the Earth Demon. He probably won't be willing to admit it.
An 'earth demon' is the master." Liu Chang said, "And if it is an earth demon hiding secretly, it should not be hidden from Wu Ming's eyes. So... based on the intelligence from all parties, there is more than 50% certainty.
, there should be a demon hiding in the dark at that time."
The burly man nodded: "But I checked the ruins and visited the surrounding ten miles, and I didn't find a trace of the devil's breath." Liu Chang hesitated and then said: "We are just guessing after all. Maybe we guessed wrong?" "Two
A possibility."
The burly man thought deeply and said, "First, we guessed wrong. There was no demon hiding at that time. Second, the demon did come, but he was stronger than me! I can't even find any clues about him." "Master Bi."
More powerful?" Liu Chang was surprised.
"After all, I am only a demon-slayer in the seventh realm. There are still demons who are stronger than me." After the burly man finished speaking, he thought silently for a moment and then asked, "Do you know where Wu Ming is?"
"He didn't even see us at that time, he just chatted a few words with Qi's family
He left the city with his old servant." Liu Chang said, "I haven't come back for more than a month." "Okay, you go back first." The burly man ordered.
Liu Chang bowed slightly and left immediately.
The burly man stood alone in the ruins.
"According to speculation, there is a high probability that there is a demon lurking around. He did not take action. He should have regarded the demon-slayer Wu Ming as his prey." There was a sneer in the burly man's eyes. "He should have learned from the growth trajectory of the demon-slayer Wu Ming."
Judgment, Wu Ming will become a high-level demon-slayer before too long! When he reaches the seventh level, will he take action?" "It's ridiculous!"
"When Wu Ming came to the Demon-Subduing World, it took him a long time to kill the thirty-six envoys of Dongming Mountain at first. After that, it was quite difficult to kill the Demon God of Qinghu Lake, but after a few months, he was able to kill the Lord of Dongming Mountain.
"The burly man thought, "Obviously, this Wu Ming should also be an eighth-level ultimate in reality. After arriving, he gradually became familiar with the secret method of subduing demons, which is why his strength improved so quickly." "If I predict it correctly, he will
Soon it will reach the level of the sixth and seventh realms." The burly man thought.
The eighth-level extreme ones only have their bodies reaching their limits.
The spiritual aspect is still far away from the original life, so after coming to the world of demon-busting, most of them are only sixth-level and seventh-level demon-slayers. After practicing for a period of time and improving, most of them can become high-level demon-slayers.
"That demon doesn't know that we, the demon subduers, came from the outside world and our spiritual consciousness has already reached an extremely strong level. He can hunt in advance." "But he doesn't understand, so he waits patiently in secret."
"I can't deal with a demon who is suspected to be in the eighth level, so I have to gather my companions." The burly man thought, "As long as we find traces of Wu Ming and search around, we can hope to find this demon." Among the human groups in the universe,
After reaching the eighth level limit one by one, most of them can cultivate into high-level demon-slayers.
They are like hunters, looking for the devil.
For them, the obsessions of human demons and earth demons are of little help! The obsession of heavenly demons... is completely different! But there are too few heavenly demons, and every one of them has restrained their aura and hid.
"The demons are too cunning. They hide one by one and disguise themselves as humans. It is too difficult to find the demons." The burly man also shook his head slightly and then disappeared quietly.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was already more than half a year.
Chiyun Prefecture, Lanping Mansion, inside the city.
A young man and a hunchbacked old servant checked into an inn.
"Get some specialty dishes and prepare two jugs of good wine to send over." Xu Jingming and Wu Qi both put down their gift packages, and also ordered the inn's waiter to immediately respond: "Please wait a moment, sir. I'll be here soon."
Go make arrangements."
This is a single-door residence, which belongs to the Tianzihao courtyard of the inn.
Xu Jingming looked out the door and said with a smile: "A distinguished guest has arrived." Wu Qi's expression suddenly changed and he looked nervously out the door.
A figure emerged from the void and appeared in the courtyard. It was a middle-aged woman.
"Uncle Qi, you go in and have a rest first. This is also a demon slayer. I'll have a chat with her," Xu Jingming said.
"Okay, Master." Wu Qi glanced at the middle-aged woman and then silently returned to the house.
The middle-aged woman looked at Xu Jingming with a smile: "Mr. Wu Ming, you should have guessed my purpose of coming." An invisible wave enveloped the two of them, and their conversation was blocked from all prying eyes.
"In the past half year, two high-level demon-slayers have been looking for me." Xu Jingming said, "They all want to trace the traces of the demon. I can be sure that I have never seen the demon and I don't know where he is.
"You've never seen it before?" the middle-aged woman frowned slightly, "Did your Cheng'an Mansion's Dongming Mountain Master really lie on purpose before he died?"
"I don't know." Xu Jingming shook his head, "Maybe it's a lie, maybe the devil is too good at hiding."
"When I learned that your master and servant came to Fucheng, I already checked all the suspicious people around you." The middle-aged woman shook her head, "No demon was found."
The middle-aged woman immediately smiled: "I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Liu Yinshu, an eighth-level demon-slayer. I established a mutual aid organization for high-level demon-slayers, called 'Tingshulou'."
People who are demon-slayers can join, and after joining, everyone can help each other, whether it’s magic weapon materials, news about the demon’s whereabouts, or some real-life business dealings.”
"The high-level demon-slayers in Tingshulou are mainly active in the Chiyun Prefecture area." The middle-aged woman said, "I have checked your file, Mr. Wu Ming. In reality, you should be an eighth-level extreme person.
After entering the world of subduing demons, I became familiar with the secret method of subduing demons and was quickly promoted to the sixth level."
Xu Jingming smiled slightly.
"Countless human civilizations in the universe and many eighth-level extremes will come to the Demon-Subduing World to give it a try." The middle-aged woman said, "Not only the Demon-Subduing World, but also all kinds of possibilities will be tried." Xu Jingming nodded: "
It’s all for that glimmer of hope, a breakthrough into the source of life.”
"Many people try it for decades and then leave." The middle-aged woman said, "But there is one good thing about the world of demon-slaying. From the realm of the demon-slayer, you can determine how far the spiritual power is from the source of life."
Xu Jingming was stunned.
It really is!
The Yuanchu Research Institute can accurately measure his psychic power index.
But ordinary eighth-level starry sky beings don't have this opportunity, but they can use the demon world to determine the approximate level of spiritual power.
"The seventh level is considered to have average spiritual power among the eighth-level extremes. The eighth level means that the demon-slayer has very high spiritual power. The ninth level... is not far from the source of life." said the middle-aged woman.
.
Xu Jingming knows it very well.
According to statistics from peripheral members of the Yuanchu Research Institute, a psychic power index of 6000 can roughly reach the seventh realm. A psychic power index of 9000 can roughly reach the eighth realm. A psychic power index of 9500 can roughly reach the ninth realm.
With the help of Ice Flower Spiritual Liquid, the threshold can be slightly lowered.
"Mr. Wu Ming, if you reach the seventh level, you are also welcome to join Tingshulou." The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "It's not that you are weak, but that you need a high-level demon-subduing person to be able to deal with the devil."
"I understand." Xu Jingming said, "I am not strong enough."
"I believe Mr. Wu Ming will be able to reach the Seventh Realm soon. By then, you can contact me at any Tingshulou in any city in Chiyun Prefecture," the middle-aged woman said.
Xu Jingming nodded: "I will consider it."
"Then I won't bother you." After the middle-aged woman said with a smile, her figure gradually faded away and disappeared.
Xu Jingming frowned slightly.
The world of demon-suppressing, as the world that helps the soul the most, has indeed gathered a large number of eighth-level starry sky beings. And those who can become high-level demon-slayers are at the limit of the eighth level.
Each eighth-level limit generally has a very strong influence in reality.
"If the Eighth-Level Extremes form a force, can they also conduct trade in reality?" Xu Jingming secretly said, "There are so many Eighth-Levels in the world of demon-slaying, it is entirely possible to form a very large group in reality."
Of course, Xu Jingming’s ambition is not here! His goal is to originate life.
"I have never seen a high-level demon-slayer in Cheng'an Mansion before! But in the past half year, including today's... three high-level demon-slayers have come to me, all to track down the demon."
This shows how hard it is to find the Heavenly Demon." Xu Jingming secretly said, "Fortunately, I am only in my thirties and have limited experience. The obsession with the Earthly Demon... is quite helpful to me." "If I want to look for the Heavenly Demon in the future,
It’s not easy to be afraid.”
Xu Jingming also learned this from the intelligence.
Ordinary demons are constantly being nurtured and formed in any city, and the members of the Demon-Subduing Division often kill them.
Many earth demons sit in one place, dominate and do whatever they want, so they are easy to find.
Only the devil!
"The demons are hidden among countless humans." Xu Jingming thought, "And the very few demons who dare to reveal their identities publicly and occupy a place have reached an unimaginable state."
The demon-slayers in the ninth realm are close to the source of life, and they dare not say that they can deal with all the demons.
For example, Chitong, a ninth-level demon-slayer, stumbled.
"Master." Wu Qi walked out of the house, "Is someone gone?"
"We are here to track down the demon again." Xu Jingming said, "I couldn't track him down, so I came to ask me."
"There are so many earthly demons in the world causing trouble to various places. Instead of solving them, they are so desperate to track down one heavenly demon?" Wu Qi shook his head and sighed.
At this moment, the waiter from the inn came to serve wine and food.
"Master, let's have dinner first," Wu Qi said.
Xu Jingming sat down and was thinking: "I wonder if there is really a demon watching me in the dark."
"Forget it, I still concentrate on studying "Light Chapter" and perfecting my magical powers. The stronger I am, the more confident I will be in dealing with the demon." Xu Jingming no longer thought about it. In the past six months, he has made rapid progress.
Every eighth-level starry sky life improves very quickly at the beginning, then becomes slower and slower until it reaches stagnation.
For example, Xu Jingming's "Elder Brother Gushan" had a spiritual power index of 9123 points when he was 500 years old, but in the next 500 years, it was still a little short of 10,000 points.
For example, Senior Sister Kabuya, who is the seventh oldest, not long after joining the Yuanchu Academy, at the age of 155, her psychic power index exceeded 5,000 points.
"In the past six months, my spiritual power has improved very quickly. With the help of the Ice Flower Spiritual Liquid, I have already broken through to the sixth level." Xu Jingming thought, "But my magical powers are not perfect enough." He learned magical powers very quickly.
But it’s too difficult to create your own.
Early the next morning.
Xu Jingming went out for a walk, and Wu Qi also went out to inquire about the local demons.
“So lively.”
Xu Jingming came to a market. In the market, many vendors were selling goods. Xu Jingming watched many people bargaining, and some vendors even brought their children with them. In the past six months, he had refined the obsession of many earth demons.
.
Every experience of the old demon is integrated into Xu Jingming's consciousness, and strong obsessions impact Xu Jingming's mind.
Xu Jingming became more sympathetic to the lives of these ordinary people.
"It's like the reincarnation in the Blue Star myth." Xu Jingming thought, "Ordinary people in this world live here for decades, struggle, get married and have children... Isn't it just reincarnation and experiencing a lifetime?"
“What is virtual?”
"Decades of emotional investment are the truth."
Xu Jingming has been traveling around the country for more than half a year, observing the lives of sentient beings, refining the obsessions of demons, and understanding their plight.
He knew that these demons were too paranoid and had taken the wrong path. But Xu Jingming could understand them.
"In reality, the human nature I have seen is not as good as the experience in the world of demon-slaying.
Human nature is complex." Xu Jingming is also growing up, and he feels that the benefits of the world of demon-slaying are not just about refining demons in the soul.
Seeing all sentient beings and understanding all sentient beings while refining demons is also another gain.
For the young Xu Jingming, the growth in this aspect is obvious.
