Chapter 503 A Century of Development

Ling Wanqing collected her thoughts and began telling Su Yu about the events of the past century. Over these hundred years, some things had indeed happened in the Spirit Realm.

Within the past century, another existence had arrived in the Spirit Realm from the Southern Region, and she had joined a Yao Race faction.

That is correct; the person who came this time was from the Yao Race—it was Demon Venerable Ling Long.

While she could be called a Demon Venerable in the Southern Region, that was not the case in the Spirit Realm.

Furthermore, she had joined a faction possessing the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox Bloodline.

Although the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox also belonged to the Qingqiu Clan, there were many differences in their Bloodline.

Demon Venerable Ling Long joining them was not a problem.

Given Demon Venerable Ling Long's intellect and capabilities, she should be doing quite well there.

She was very adept at utilizing her advantages; otherwise, she would not have become the master of a faction within the Ten Thousand Demon Forest in the Southern Region.

Of course, only Su Yu knew about this; no one else would pay attention to such a detail, and there were not many people who knew Demon Venerable Ling Long.

In the past century, the Star Sea Sect had also recruited a large number of Disciples, although some had since left the Star Sea Sect.

However, the Star Sea Sect had also recruited a Disciple possessing a special Physique.

It was a rather famous Physique, which had caused quite a few Elders in the Sect to fight over this Disciple at the time.

Over these years, the Star Sea Sect had shown an upward trend, but no one had yet achieved a Breakthrough to the Mahayana Stage. After all, this was a watershed moment for a faction's strength.

The difference between a Sect with a Mahayana Stage expert and one without was immense. Although the Old Ancestor of the Sect had been in seclusion attempting a Breakthrough, there was still no news of them reaching the Mahayana Stage.

The people of the Star Sea Sect had been eagerly awaiting the arrival of that day.

Su Yu looked toward the horizon; those guys still had not had the chance to execute their plan.

Deep within the main hall of the Moon Demon Cult, Demon Beginning was currently frowning.

This Ye Lin truly did not give them a single chance. According to past reports, Ye Lin would frequently come out to gain experience.

Yet now, he remained within the Sect, and there was no news of him at all.

The person who had mastered the Space Law had already joined their side.

The plan had already been formulated; now, they were just missing the final push. They had to deal with this Ye Lin first.

Yue Li and Wuming sat to the side. "We can only wait now. Once he starts his seclusion for the Breakthrough to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, no one will know how long he will be in seclusion."

"We might as well use this time to expand our strength."

Demon Beginning nodded helplessly. "That is all we can do. By the way, is there anything unusual with Saintess Yunyao?"

"No, everything is normal."

"I doubt they could discover anything. When the critical moment arrives, we will still have to rely on you, Saintess Yunyao. You are a crucial link in our plan, so do not let anything happen to you."

"You may withdraw. Notify me the moment there is any news. I have other matters to attend to."

Watching the two leave, Demon Beginning transformed into a wisp of black smoke and vanished from the scene.

When he reappeared, he had already arrived in an ancient forest.

This was the Land of Divine Fall.

At this moment, Demon Beginning was walking through the Land of Divine Fall, carrying the lamp of hope.

He had a purpose for coming here.

His individual power was limited; he needed helpers.

And this person was within the Land of Divine Fall. During a battle here long ago, he had been trapped inside.

Now, he was going to meet him—the Demon of Death, Perishing Demon.

He was an existence who possessed the Law of Death, a Grim Reaper born to harvest lives; his very existence could be said to be the embodiment of fear.

Demon Race members of their caliber were extremely difficult to kill, unless there was an overwhelming gap in strength.

Otherwise, they could only be sealed, but there would always be those who could not resist the temptation to release them.

However, the situation with Perishing Demon was somewhat special.

The Land of Divine Fall was too eerie, and there was that special existence; even he dared not disturb that one's rest.

Therefore, no one would come here, and with the special nature of this place, no one could find Perishing Demon either.

Only he, relying on the lamp of hope, found it quite simple to locate Perishing Demon now.

His own Seal was the same; that final item also required the lamp of hope.

As Demon Beginning delved deeper, he soon arrived at a desolate place, filled with the aura of decay and death.

Everywhere were remains, and dark crows circled in the sky above.

Those trees all grew eerie human faces, and as the wind blew through, it sounded as if tormented souls were screaming.

Seeing this, Demon Beginning thought, "It is worthy of being Perishing Demon's domain; it is truly different."

Demon Beginning directly took out some items he had previously collected; these items could undo a portion of the Seal.

He did not think Perishing Demon would help him so easily.

As Demon Beginning began to circulate his Cultivation Technique.

Perishing Demon's voice appeared.

"I wondered who had come. So it is you, Demon Beginning. I did not expect you to come looking for me? We are not on good terms, are we?"

Demon Beginning laughed. "Why, do you want to stay here forever? That feeling must not be pleasant. Unlike me, I have been out for a long time and have already established a massive faction within the Human Race."

"Stop joking. If that were really the case, would you have come to find me? Speak, what is the matter?"

"Indeed, it is always pleasant speaking with a smart person."

Demon Beginning then explained the situation.

"Isn't it because you fear your strength is insufficient that you came to find me? I do indeed want to leave, but why should I help you? The grudges between us have not yet been settled."

"Do not be in such a hurry to answer. You must think this through. Once you help me, we will be even, and I will not hinder whatever you wish to do."

"There is only one chance. Give me your answer the next time I come. For you, this is a huge bargain."

"I must go. If I stay too long, that one might appear. Think it over carefully; I hope to see you when I return."

With that, Demon Beginning vanished from the scene. The lamp of hope had just given a premonition, which was why he did not linger and left immediately.

This just happened to give Perishing Demon some time to consider.

He did not believe Perishing Demon could resist the temptation of freedom; he himself had been sealed for so long and knew that feeling well.

Su Yu observed the situation before him. Perishing Demon, and that existence within the Land of Divine Fall.

To Su Yu, this was not a secret at all.

It just so happened that he did not have much of a lead on his own Law of Death.

Su Yu collected his thoughts and continued drinking tea in the courtyard.

A few days passed. On this day, Su Yu received another message from Ling Wanqing.

It asked him to go over there.

Looking at the message, Su Yu thought she would not be calling him over for a while.

He had been constantly probing her, which resulted in Ling Wanqing scolding him quite a bit.

Furthermore, he felt that Ling Wanqing had vaguely guessed something.

Therefore, Su Yu could be a little bolder. When the time came, he would see whether she would reveal herself first or if he would expose her.

Su Yu smiled and left the area.

In the bamboo forest, Ling Wanqing looked at the message in the Jade Slip.

She hoped Su Yu would not do anything unexpected this time. Should she act a bit colder?

However, she always let her guard down when facing Su Yu, even though she was not like that at other times.
