Chapter 20: The Battlefield of the Demons

The battlefield of demons is very vast. It is difficult for cultivators who have not been promoted to the secret realm of magical powers to set foot in all areas on their own two legs. They can only move within a limited range and have difficulty dealing with the demons that come to their doorstep. They are very passive.

Under the gray sky, Hua Tiandu was running in one direction. While slaughtering the demons, he saw the unique scenery of the stars under his feet.

In the mortal world, there is an old saying: Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles.

For monks, increasing knowledge and witnessing the changes of the times is also a very important practice.

During his training, Hua Tiandu encountered several groups of demon teams intermittently, all of which were absorbed by him using the Minglun spiritual technique. This not only increased his experience in fighting against the demons, but also increased the speed of the formation of the image of the bright moon in his mind.

After the last wave of battle, he felt the moon that hardly changed, and a flash of enlightenment came to his mind.

"My spirit is still lacking a most important change. This change is the biggest obstacle to advancing to the realm of magical powers."

"What is missing?"

He thought about it a lot, but unfortunately he had no clue.

As a last resort, Hua Tiandu raised this question and asked his teacher Huo Ling for advice.

"I can't give you an answer to this question either. You need to explore it yourself." The Fire Spirit's voice was filled with a hint of smile. "Tiandu, the fact that you can think of this question shows that you have already entered the door of cultivation. I am very pleased that you can do this."

Then, He explained the key to breaking through the realm, "I have read some ancient Taoist books. The books say that every cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of the Secret Realm must break the old shackles formed in previous practice in order to achieve a complete transformation, from a fish to a dragon, and ascend to a higher secret realm."

"You feel that you are lacking something spiritually. Perhaps there are still some shackles on the spiritual path that have not been broken, which is hindering your practice."

After hearing Teacher Huo Ling's advice, the confusion in Hua Tiandu's heart dissipated a lot and he had some clues.

"Mental shackles?"

Just as he was hesitating and thinking, he suddenly heard a loud and powerful shout.

"Brother Hua!"

Hua Tiandu looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance.

"It turned out to be Junior Brother Fang."

The two men were ten feet apart, both in high spirits, looking at each other to see if it was an illusion created by the devil.

After a long time, they confirmed each other's identities and then gathered together.

"My little brother greets Senior Brother Hua!" Fang Wei looked very excited. As soon as he got closer, he bowed to Hua Tiandu.

"It's great to meet Brother Hua in this cruel battlefield!"

Judging from the tone of his voice, he must have suffered a lot along the way.

"Junior brother Fang, you are too polite." Hua Tiandu chuckled and quickly helped his junior brother up.

He looked at his junior brother who had already advanced to the ninth level of the physical body - the spiritual realm, and guessed that the other party must have undergone a lot of "tempering" by the devil, otherwise he would not have achieved such a great improvement on the spiritual level.

Next, the two continued to explore the unknown area ahead while chatting about their recent gains.

"Senior Brother Hua, you are about to be promoted to the realm of supernatural powers?" Fang Wei was shocked when he heard the good news.

Although he had long known that the senior brother in front of him, who had left him far behind, was a genius in cultivation, he had never expected that the other party's cultivation would progress so quickly.

Generally speaking, a cultivator who has reached the tenth level of divine transformation in his physical body needs 3-5 years to hone his physical body and temper his spirit before he can be promoted to the realm of divine power.

However, this Senior Brother Hua had just entered the Divine Transformation Realm when we first met. Now, only a few months have passed, and he is about to be promoted to the Divine Power Secret Realm.

This kind of talent for practicing Taoism is truly enviable and shocking.

"I would like to congratulate Senior Brother Hua first. I hope that he can master his spiritual secrets and become a master of supernatural powers soon!"

In the winding valley, Hua Tiandu looked at Junior Brother Fang who was even more excited than himself, and smiled, "Junior Brother Fang, I accept your blessing."

"I'm here too, I wish you can enter the secret realm of magical power soon."

While the two were chatting, a clear cry of surprise suddenly came from the side and behind.

"Brother Hua!"

"Senior Brother Fang!" The two people who were called turned around hurriedly, looking at the person who came with a hint of vigilance in their eyes.

"Junior Sister Song?"

Hua Tiandu and Fang Wei looked at each other, both looking a little stunned.

Unexpectedly, it would be such a coincidence that the three of them would meet one after another and gather together in such a large battlefield of demons.

"Junior Sister Song, please stop!"

Fang Wei took the initiative to step forward and shouted, causing Song Fangfei, who was jogging, to stop.

"Brother Fang, I'm not a demon in disguise. If you don't believe me, check it out."

Fortunately, Song Fangfei was reasonable and immediately stood where she was, allowing Fang Wei to slowly approach and check her identity.

After a long time, Fang Wei, who had performed multiple checks, finally confirmed that Song Fangfei in front of him was a real person. He then shouted to Hua Tiandu: "Brother Hua, it's really Sister Fang. I won't make a mistake."

Then, the young couple who met suddenly walked forward hand in hand to meet their senior brother.

"Little sister greets Senior Brother Hua!"

Song Fangfei smiled sweetly and bowed towards Hua Tiandu.

"Junior Sister Song, please don't be polite."

Under Fang Wei's gaze, Hua Tiandu just gave him a fake support, indicating that there was no need to be polite.

After saying hello, the three-person team gathered again and stood there chatting for a while before setting out on the trial road again.

However, just as Hua Tiandu turned around, he suddenly felt a strange mental fluctuation coming from behind him.

"Devil!"

He turned around suddenly and saw Junior Sister Song with a sly smile on her face. She was clenching her right hand into a ghost claw and silently grabbing Junior Brother Fang's back.

If this arrest were carried out, Fang Wei's heart would be completely broken, and at that time, he would have no choice but to die.

"Junior Brother Fang, be careful!"

"Zheng~"

While shouting a warning, Hua Tiandu had already rushed out. In a flash, he unsheathed the magic sword in his hand and beheaded Song Fangfei with one sword.

Not only that, the pure yang energy on the sword was instantly activated, crushing the beautiful junior sister's head along with the demon's will residing in it.

"what!"

The demon that took over a human body only had time to let out a scream before being completely wiped out.

In the midst of the sparks, Fang Wei, who was reminded, turned around and saw only a shadow passing in front of him. Then, his beloved sister's head fell to the ground, and even her body was not saved.

"Junior sister!"

The cruel reality in an instant swept through his brain, overflowed his heart, and completely devoured his sanity.

After a moment of numbness, Fang Wei roared, tears pouring out of his eyes, and he pounced directly on the fallen body.

"Junior Brother Fang! Don't go over there!"

"Junior Sister Song has been possessed by the demon a long time ago. The situation is still unclear. You can't put yourself in danger!"

Hua Tiandu hurriedly tried to stop Junior Brother Fang who had lost his mind, but unfortunately, the other party did not appreciate it.

"Go away!"

Fang Wei no longer had any of his previous respect. He shook off the big hand blocking his way and rushed towards the body of his beloved.

Seeing this, before Hua Tian could say anything to comfort them, he saw the army of demons descending from the sky in the distance.
