Chapter 655: Secret Realm Success, Demonic Cultivator’s “Opportunity”

As soon as Jiang Chengxuan stepped outside, he was greeted by Shen Ruyan’s laughter.
“Husband, congratulations.
You’ve advanced to a Level 6 array master.”
Jiang Chengxuan replied with a smile, “Hehe, I have to thank you for that.
Without your relentless guidance, I wouldn’t have been able to progress so quickly.”
The couple exchanged compliments for a while.
After a while.
After a moment, Shen Ruyan mentioned, “During your seclusion, the cities of our human race have once again been attacked by demon beasts.
However, this time, the beasts are not normal; they’ve been corrupted by demonic Qi, turning into what we call ‘demon monsters’.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan’s smile faded.
“Is the Demon Race really committed to this path to the end?
They are willing to let their low-level beasts be tainted by demonic Qi.
Aren’t they worried about being betrayed eventually?”
Shen Ruyan shook her head.
At this point, they probably don’t have any other choice.
If they don’t want to be held accountable by this world and be exterminated by our human race, it seems that’s the only path left for them.”
Jiang Chengxuan agreed with this statement.
Considering the current situation, if the external powerful being ceases his attempt to refine their world, the Demon Race would likely be the first to suffer.
The world’s will is currently preoccupied and can’t deal with them, but if it becomes free, the Demon Race might not be let off easily.
Including the human race.
The grudge between the two races for so many years was a blood feud.
If the human race had the upper hand, they would definitely not let the demon race have an easy time.
The conversation didn’t linger on this topic for long. Jiang Chengxuan shifted to other matters,
“By the way, were the demons affected when those demon monsters attacked our human cities?”
Shen Ruyan’s expression turned grave.
“Husband, what I wanted to tell you is about this matter.
As per the current situation, it seems that the Demon Race has not been significantly affected.
They, along with those lurking in the shadows, appear to have confirmed that this method can bypass the protective period of our human race.”
“Is that so?”
Jiang Chengxuan narrowed his eyes.
“If this is true, then it’s going to be troublesome.
Given the current situation, it’s unlikely that they would dare to start a major war.
However, our lower-level human cities might face significant problems.
Wife, it’s about time to resolve this issue once and for all.”
‘Well, you mean … ?’
Shen Ruyan’s eyes narrowed.
“That’s right.”
Jiang Chengxuan nodded.
“Inform Infinite Ocean, Everlasting Mountain, and Senior Xuan Yang.
We’ll set the location at…”
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chengxuan said:
“Let’s set it in the Ancient River Desert. It’s on the edge of the Death Desert.
This way, even if something really happens, it won’t affect our Northern Border.
But before that, we need to take some precautions…”
Then, Jiang Chengxuan told Shen Ruyan his thoughts.
Half a month later.
In the Ancient River Desert.
The three Heavenly Lords, Infinite Ocean, Everlasting Mountain, and Xuan Yang nodded when they heard Jiang Chengxuan and his wife’s plan.
“In that case, we will set up this fabricated True Demon Inheritance Secret Realm here, as Jiang and Shen have suggested.”
“Good!”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately took out various materials for array-making.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Lords of Everlasting Mountain, Infinite Ocean, and Xuan Yang also took out the corresponding materials from their bodies.
Every material here was at least Level 4.
There were even many materials that had reached Level 6.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan wasted no time.
While they used their Level 6 array abilities to construct the basic structure of the secret realm, they also used their understanding of spatial rules to gradually stabilize it.
The three Heavenly Lords of Everlasting Mountain, Infinite Ocean, and Xuan Yang were all shocked.
Especially Infinite Ocean and Everlasting Mountain.
As veteran Heavenly Lords of the Northern Border, they could almost immediately tell that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s comprehension of spatial rules was on par with, or even surpassed, their own.
These two, how did they cultivate to this extent in just a few hundred years?
It’s truly humbling.
Thinking of this, Infinite Ocean, Everlasting Mountain, and Xuan Yang did not idle.
They maintained the stability of the surrounding space as per the couple’s request, ensuring that the secret realm’s space didn’t overlap or collide with the real world.
And so, eight years passed in a flash.
On this day.
Shen Ruyan fused the jade talisman sealed with the True Demon Qi into the void before her.
With her and Jiang Chengxuan’s joint effort, they then sealed the void in front of them.
This signified the successful creation of their fabricated secret realm.
“The stage is set. Next, it’s time for the show to begin.”
Jiang Chengxuan said with a smile.
First of all, we mustn’t be the ones to discover this secret realm.
Ideally, it should be stumbled upon by a demonic cultivator or a demon beast.
They would inadvertently touch the barrier of the secret realm, triggering the phenomenon of its opening.
Once they reach the point of encountering the True Demon Qi,
I believe those lurking in the shadows will not be able to resist.
Even if they want to stay put, I’m afraid there will be those who won’t agree.”
“Hmm? Fellow Daoist Jiang, are you saying…?”
Infinite Ocean, Everlasting Mountain, and Xuan Yang suddenly thought of something and their expressions could not help but change.
Jiang Chengxuan nodded.
Then, he pointed at the sky and said affirmatively,
“That’s right. You have to know that that’s the True Demon Qi. If it’s connected to the True Demon heritage, wouldn’t it tempt you?
Even if you knew there was a 90% chance it was fake, wouldn’t you still be tempted to check it out?”
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s rhetorical question, everyone present nodded with a smile.
They clearly understood that their adversaries would not let such an opportunity slip by.
Even if they were aware that the chances of the realm being an actual True Demon heritage were less than 10%, they wouldn’t give up on it.
This would be their opportunity to confront those who had been hiding in the dark.
Half a year later.
Faint black-brown streams of airflow began to slowly meander across the surface of the Ancient River Desert.
At first, no one noticed these streams.
However, as time went on, a few months later, these airflows became more conspicuous.
Another few months later.
Several figures with extremely concealed presences suddenly appeared in this area.
They looked at the area where the black-brown streams of airflows were flowing, and their faces showed surprise and delight.
“This is the dark and evil Qi, greatly beneficial for our cultivation, and can help us condense demonic Qi,” exclaimed a man with red eyes, unable to contain his excitement.
However, he soon became puzzled.
“Strange, we’ve been to this Ancient River Desert before, but why haven’t we noticed this dark and evil Qi until now?”
As they spoke, their gaze shifted towards the source of the dark Qi – a patch of black-brown sand.
Could it be that there was something else hidden there, or perhaps…
As the possibility dawned on them, their faces involuntarily displayed greed.
If their guesses were correct, this could be an opportunity, a chance to change their current fate.
“Everyone, I suggest that we do not act rashly without knowing exactly what this place is.
I think none of us want such a rare opportunity to be wasted, right?
So I suggest.
It’s best if we work together to confirm the nature of this site and then use our individual abilities to seize the opportunity within.
What do you think?”
As soon as the red-eyed man finished speaking, a woman with an exotic appearance chuckled in agreement.
“I concur with Fellow Red Eye’s suggestion. Since we haven’t seen what’s really there, there’s no need for unnecessary conflicts at this point.”
“I agree too,” said a man wearing a silver mask.
The others, not wanting to miss out on a potential windfall yet wary of unknown dangers, nodded in agreement.
United in their decision, the group of demonic cultivators, led by the man with red eyes, approached the source of the dark and evil Qi.
Buzz!
Suddenly, as they neared within about ten meters of the area, a dark black barrier appeared before them, blocking their path.
“This is…
A secret realm barrier!” exclaimed the exotic woman, startled.
The others were also shocked.
They really did not expect that what they saw in front of them was actually a secret realm barrier.
Didn’t this mean that there was a secret realm behind this barrier?
The prospect of discovering treasures and inheritances within a secret realm sent a wave of excitement through the group.
Unknowingly, everyone’s breathing became a little heavy at this moment.
Their eyes were filled with undisguised greed as they looked at the barrier.
Fortunately, not everyone was blinded by greed.
The man with the silver mask said, “Everyone, I admit that we might have really discovered something impressive this time.
However, we still don’t know what the secret realm is like.
Even if everyone wants to fight, I don’t think it should be now, right?”
These words immediately made some of the people present whose brains were already starting to heat up fiercely shudder.
They were pulled back from irrationality..
