Chapter 887: Chapter 887

As for Shan Jiu, he was originally wandering in the Penglai Sea with Tao Qian and Mosquito Daoist Xue Ming.

Until one night, this fellow suddenly had a moment of insight, the wild leek roots surged, reaching the heavens and the earth, and he only had time to shout to Tao Qian: "Hahaha... Shan Jiu has attained the Dao today, no longer a wild leek, but a celestial leek. To the great folks of Wild Man Mountain, Shan Jiu is returning to repay the grudge of driving me away."

After saying that, Shan Jiu had already transformed into a strange rainbow that nearly illuminated half the East Sea, casually breaking through the barrier of the Longevity Realm and heading to the Outer Realm.

An old question from back then had been answered.

The territory with wonderful scenery, called [Wild Man Mountain], was indeed in the Outer Realm.

"It's also good that they're not here, having others around would inevitably cause some hesitation in actions."

"Alone, I can freely be a carefree Secret Demon Child."

Muttering, Tao Qian had already opened the door and stepped onto the Secret Path.

What he saw first was a massive starry passage that seemed to have no end.

The passage was not empty either.

There were some strange spiritual plants, glowing meteorites, or some rustling insects.

Tao Qian knew without touching them, these should be some evil objects like demon stones or star insects, each with pollution that could be fatal to weaker life forms.

For him, they were just scenery and road-lighting tools along the way.

Of course, the strongest presence here was the extremely pure [Secret Demon Origin Qi], not only filling the void but also having aged over years like fine wine, intoxicating.

If one looked to his feet, at the star wall, they could faintly see the secret liquid flowing like streams, and clusters of Qingming Demon Crystals, all born from the highly concentrated Secret Demon Origin Qi.

Tao Qian, as the freshly born "Secret Demon Child" today, felt completely at home here.

With each breath, his cultivation grew.

As he was slightly intoxicated and the door behind him closed, two phantoms suddenly jumped out in front of him.

It was Yuan Gong and Jiang Luan, obviously having been stored here beforehand.

Seeing Tao Qian, they directly began explaining.

"Good disciple, though you have stepped onto this Secret Path, it does not mean this journey will be safe and without danger."

"The unexpected calamities need not be mentioned, what you truly need to be cautious of are the other Secret Demon Children, even other Secret Demon Ancestors."

"Our Secret Demon Sect, after all, is a Demon Path sect, quite different from Spiritual Treasure."

"Even among fellow disciples, one should not easily trust."

"Among them, there are some who are utterly insane and harbor sinister intentions, especially since this election is very different from the past; the position of Sect Master concerns Dao Fruit. If one truly can sit on it, they can step into Daoist Transformation, and even have hopes of becoming a Tribulation Immortal, hence there will surely be incidents along the way, mutual ambushes to spy on each other's strength."

"Your master and I didn't tell you before, as we worried that too many people talking would invite trouble, the secret skills are treacherous."

"I also used the [Heavenly Puppet All Living Beings Secret Technique] to predict, since you are the Secret Demon Child from the Ancestral Land, you attract the most hatred. On your way to the inferior demon world, you will encounter more than three ambushes."

"The outcome is uncertain, so be cautious!"

Jiang Luan's words were mature, not to mention she even gave a prediction warning.

Yuan Gong spoke, initially with a murderous aura, but then his tone changed.

"If anyone wants to stop you from attaining the Dao, no matter who, cut them down with a single sword."

"Who doesn't know that our Secret Demon Sect's Sacrifice Sword Skill, Demon Cleansing Technique, is best at slaying Secret Demon Children."

"However, you should also know how to advance and retreat. If it's something unattainable, we don't care for that lousy Sect Master position, and if it doesn't suit you, you weren't meant to refine demons anyway. Tao Daoist, Tao Buddha, aren't those names much better than Tao Demon Lord."

Yuan Gong's big turn again revealed the nature of this old sword cultivator, straightforward and honest.

When he spoke, Tao Qian received another secret transmission in his mind from Jiang Luan, this Thousand Puppet Mother.

"While what your master said holds some truth, as cultivators, we should still strive when it's time to strive."

"Moreover, if you manage to sit on that Sect Master position, you may be able to save your master's life."

"The reason he cannot reincarnate with ease like Mr. Duobao is because the True Spirit he left behind is but a weak thread. Forget about the mysteries of the womb, he can't even achieve reincarnation; once he enters the cycle of reincarnation, he'll instantly return to dust." Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩

"However, when we were promoted to Elder back then, we all used a secret technique to split a thread of True Spirit and put it into the Secret Demon Treasure [Ten Thousand Demon Heart Lamp]."

"When the Ancestral Land faced calamity, that treasure flew away on its own, jointly kept by a group of second-generation ancestors, obtainable only by the new Sect Master."

"Senior Brother Yuan knows these too, but he doesn't want to tell you, what he pursues isn't for you to sit on the Sect Master position, but to refine the Secret Demon Sacrifice Body Tenth Form... he has no scheming mind, just a sword-obsessed fool."

"If not for this, he, the strongest in combat among the elders back then, wouldn't have died the earliest and quickest."

After explaining, both figures disappeared at the same time.

Tao Qian stood in place, first digesting some of what Jiang Luan had said.

A fellow disciple should not be easily trusted... the Ancestral Land Secret Demon Child attracts the most hatred... more than three ambushes... good heavens, the selection of the Sect Master is already a dangerous matter, didn't expect there'd be appetizers before it.

Though Tao Qian had suppressed a group of talents in the Longevity Realm.

He didn't have any arrogance, and wouldn't underestimate the Secret Demon Children from various realms across the heavens.

"Being cautious is never a bad thing."

"Before hitting the road, I should prepare too."

As Tao Qian muttered this, his eyes rolled, and he took action.

With both hands, he continuously rummaged through the treasure bag, repeatedly summoning and pulling out various treasures and spiritual objects.
