Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Tianxuan, Tianshu, Tianji, Top Three in the Southern Region!

“This power,” Meng Changqing’s hands clenched slightly.

Being able to easily crush a level six demon with one palm, just as he had expected, the sect master indeed possessed at least the power of a Marquis!

“Marquis!” Brightness appeared in Meng Changqing’s eyes.

No wonder it was said to command the power of heaven and earth!

Even the incredibly hard void was as fragile as thin paper before it!

“One day, I will also reach this realm!” Meng Changqing took a deep breath.

He also developed a strong determination to win in the upcoming Southern Genius Battle.

Entering the top twenty would earn him a spot in the Wild Sea, which contained Marquis-level resources!

“Hurry and leave,” the sect master’s voice sounded in Meng Changqing’s ear.

Hearing this, Meng Changqing quickly gathered his thoughts, activated his true demon skill, and refined the demon ancestor.

Indeed, level six demon energy was dark and thick, merely glancing at it provided countless insights.

Without further thought, he stored it and used the Void Mirror to disappear from the spot.

Shortly after his departure, terrifying shadows appeared in the sky.

A huge demon turtle, pitch black and immensely powerful, covered in chains and enslaved, carried a grand palace on its back.

“Shattering the void requires at least Marquis-level power,” a calm voice came from within the palace.

Outside, two tall demon guards stood.

“Which human region does this rift lead to?” the voice asked again.

“Reporting to the young city lord, it leads to Tianling Prefecture in the Southern Region,” a guard answered respectfully.

“Tianling Prefecture? Interesting. As far as I know, this prefecture is incredibly weak, with hardly any Life and Death Realm experts. How could there be a Marquis-level warrior?” the voice pondered, “Go and investigate the situation.”

“Yes!” One guard flashed to the battlefield, returning after several breaths.

“Reporting to the young city lord, it was the ancestor of the Deception Sound Heavenly Demon Clan. He has fallen,” the guard hesitated, “Moreover, the ancestor’s spiritual insights have completely vanished, and there is a residual trace of true demon skill.”

“Impossible!” the voice turned cold instantly, “How could a true demon skill user appear here? Last time, it was in the Blood Demon Clan’s territory!”

“No way it could suddenly be here,” the guards exchanged glances.

Recently, the legendary true demon skill reappeared, and its owner wiped out several small earth demon clans, refining demon blood crystals and leaving safely, shaking the entire demon domain.

“Could it be another human warrior practicing true demon skill?” one guard tentatively asked.

“Impossible,” the voice was firm and resolute, “True demon artifacts are extremely rare, and only one appears in each era. Otherwise, our demon clan would have been wiped out in ancient times!”

The guards fell silent, acknowledging the truth. Throughout history, only one person in each era could master the supreme true demon skill.

“Go investigate!” the voice commanded.

“Yes!” The guards’ spirits were shaken as they flew towards the Deception Sound Heavenly Demon Clan’s territory.

Inside the palace, everything was blood-red. In the depths was a pool of blood. Suddenly, a figure in the blood pool opened its eyes, filled with endless coldness.

“True demon skill!”

—

Outside the Demon Abyss, at the rift, Meng Changqing’s figure appeared as light flickered.

“Young sect master!” Excited voices rang out.

The elder immediately opened his eyes, smiling.

As expected, the sect’s hopeful young master wouldn’t perish inside.

“Uncle Master!” Mo Xiaoyu was also very happy.

Since the Demon Abyss trip, she had no objections to these two words, calling them naturally.

“Yes,” Meng Changqing nodded slightly, relaxing after leaving the dangerous place.

“Sixth level of the Divine Attainment Realm?” Xu Lingyue, who had been presiding over the formation, spoke in surprise.

Everyone then sensed Meng Changqing’s cultivation level, gasping in shock.

Just over a month ago, he had just broken through to the Divine Attainment Realm, and now he had reached the sixth level!

Such a terrifying cultivation speed, considering how difficult it was to advance in the Divine Attainment Realm, astonished everyone.

The elder stood up immediately, approached Meng Changqing, and expressed his satisfaction with three ‘good’s.

“Let’s return to the sect!” the elder turned.

The training was over, and it was time to go back.

—

Many cloud boats rose into the sky, heading towards the sect.

Meng Changqing and the elder stood at the front of the cloud boat.

“It seems you had great encounters in the Demon Abyss!” The elder was increasingly pleased with Meng Changqing.

Excellent appearance, strong power, and enough steadiness — he was much more suitable to be the sect master than Xi Yingqing!

Once Meng Changqing reached the Life and Death Realm or higher, Xi Yingqing could step down.

That guy would only lead the sect into darkness!

“Yes,” Meng Changqing began to explain but was interrupted by the elder.

“No need to say more. It’s your fortune. No need to tell anyone,” the elder shook his head, “The faster you grow, the happier we are.”

“Okay,” Meng Changqing nodded, realizing he was overthinking.

“After returning to the sect, I will look for Divine Attainment Realm cultivation pills in the Supreme Profound Treasury to help you reach the peak of the Divine Attainment Realm before the Southern Genius Battle!” the elder said.

“Second senior brother, you mentioned before that the top in the Southern Region are Tianxuan Prefecture, then Tianshu Prefecture, and Tianji Prefecture. These three prefectures are incredibly strong, far surpassing others. How about their younger generation?” Meng Changqing asked.

“Very strong,” the elder looked at Meng Changqing seriously, “The age limit for the talent battle, like the Hidden Dragon List, is under thirty-five. Many young experts have reached the Life and Death Realm!”

“Life and Death Realm,” Meng Changqing squinted.

This was not surprising.

Given the age limit, reaching the Life and Death Realm was not difficult for world-defying geniuses.
