“Brother Xia, Sister He, can I join your team later?” At this moment, a disciple quietly approached the two and whispered.
He was extremely envious of Brother Xia and Sister He, not only because of their formidable strength but also because they were a couple. It was truly enviable.
The “Ancient Demon Domain” was fraught with danger, and staying close to these two experts would undoubtedly ensure his safety.
Even if he couldn’t obtain any treasures, he was sure to get some decent items.
“Sure,” He Yuhan’s eyes sparkled with a hint of cunning as she nodded.
“Brother, Sister, we also want to join your team,” several other disciples chimed in, seeking protection as they entered the trial.
“Alright, no problem,” He Yuhan accepted them without hesitation.
“Yuhan, this…” Xia Youtian couldn’t help but feel concerned. Weren’t they here to find something? Why were they taking so many people?
However, when he saw the smile on Yuhan’s face, he decided not to say anything more.
He trusted Yuhan, and in his eyes, she was incredibly intelligent. His survival and rapid improvement in strength were all thanks to her.
…
Lin Fan watched as these people disappeared into the thick mist and then entered the mist from another direction.
The “Ancient Demon Domain” was perpetually shrouded in a dense fog, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.
Legend had it that the “Ancient Demon Domain” was the place where an ancient demon had fallen. The massive corpse had plummeted from the sky and landed in the heart of a once-thriving capital. The murky aura emitted by the ancient demon’s corpse was absorbed by the people of the capital, causing them all to perish. Simultaneously, an impenetrable mist enveloped the area.
Whether this was true or not remained unknown.
Now, Lin Fan broke through the mist and saw the scene before him: dilapidated roofs and collapsed pavilions, all indicating that this had once been a prosperous capital.
The “Ancient Demon Domain” was filled with a murky mist, eerie and terrifying, sending shivers down one’s spine.
At that moment, a pair of blood-red eyes hidden in the depths suddenly lunged at Lin Fan.
“What the hell?” Lin Fan flicked his finger, and a sword intent instantly slashed through the shadowy figure.
“Ding, congratulations on killing an early-stage innate demon.”
“Ding, congratulations on gaining +1 experience.”
…
Lin Fan shook his head. It seemed the rumors were true; these must be people infected by the ancient demon’s murky aura.
But they were too weak.
Lin Fan was also at a loss, unsure of how to proceed, so he wandered aimlessly like a headless fly.
Along the way, Lin Fan killed many demons, but most were at the innate level, with none stronger.
Lin Fan couldn’t help but ponder. Was this area not particularly dangerous? Would he need to venture deeper to encounter more powerful demons?
At that moment, a herb emitting a red glow grew on a corpse.
“Ding, congratulations on discovering Blood Spirit Grass.”
“Blood Spirit Grass: Nourished by blood qi, it can double one’s blood qi.”
Lin Fan tossed the Blood Spirit Grass aside. While it was a precious treasure for ordinary martial artists, to Lin Fan, it was no different from trash.
The trial ground was indeed a trial ground—full of danger but also accompanied by treasures.
Lin Fan continued to delve deeper, encountering many sect disciples along the way. However, Lin Fan remained in the shadows, never revealing himself.
These disciples formed small groups, killing demons and obtaining many precious herbs and treasures.
However, Lin Fan also encountered some disciples in peril. Although the demons weren’t particularly strong, their grotesque appearances terrified the disciples, who were caught off guard and thus at a disadvantage.
Since he had come across them, Lin Fan naturally didn’t stand idly by. From the shadows, he effortlessly eliminated the threats.
As Lin Fan pressed on, the mist in the air grew thicker.
The strength of the demons also saw a qualitative leap.
Most were now at the divine transformation level.
But to Lin Fan, these were still like ants, easily dispatched, with only a pitiful amount of experience gained.
…
Elsewhere.
Some disciples clung tightly to Xia Youtian and He Yuhan, reaping bountiful rewards along the way.
“Brother, Sister, there’s a spirit herb here,” a disciple excitedly called out upon spotting a herb growing in a crevice.
However, the disciple didn’t dare to keep the herb for himself.
“Since you found it, it’s yours,” He Yuhan said.
“Thank you, Sister,” the disciple replied happily, carefully placing the herb in his storage bag.
Following Brother and Sister was indeed the right choice. This spirit herb was guarded by a divine transformation-level demon.
If it weren’t for Brother and Sister slaying the demon, he might not have been able to defeat it alone.
The other disciples looked on with envy.
Damn, why was his luck so good? Why hadn’t they spotted it?
But they were also content. Along the way, Brother and Sister had displayed their might, slaying every demon in their path.
As for the spirit herbs and treasures, Brother Xia and Sister He didn’t care, letting the disciples take them, which made them ecstatic.
“Brother, Sister, the demons ahead are getting stronger. Should we turn back?” a disciple asked, feeling uneasy.
Especially since his storage bag was already full, he was quite satisfied.
“Hmph, why are you so timid? With Brother and Sister here, what is there to fear? If you want to go back, go alone. Staying with Brother and Sister means there’s meat to be had,” another disciple retorted.
“Alright then,” the first disciple thought it over and agreed. With Brother and Sister around, there was nothing to fear.
He Yuhan looked at the group of disciples, a slight smile playing on her lips.
“Yuhan, I sense a mysterious aura ahead,” Xia Youtian frowned, feeling a sense of foreboding.
“Brother Xia, that’s exactly what we’re looking for,” He Yuhan said.
“Yuhan, can you tell me what it is?” Xia Youtian, seeing Yuhan’s confident expression, knew she must be aware of something, otherwise she wouldn’t be so calm.
“The bloodline of the ancient demon,” He Yuhan whispered.
“Ah…” Xia Youtian was stunned.
“Legend has it that this is the place where the ancient demon fell, and it’s true. This ancient demon was a ruler. Even after tens of thousands of years, its bloodline can withstand the passage of time. If Brother Xia consumes this bloodline, you will possess the bloodline of a demon god, and the benefits will be immense,” He Yuhan said, her eyes narrowing.
“Yuhan, who exactly are you? How do you know so much?” Xia Youtian asked.
“Brother Xia, don’t ask. Just believe that I won’t harm you,” He Yuhan replied.
Xia Youtian remained silent for a moment, then nodded. Over the past few months, he had followed Yuhan into many forbidden lands, reaping numerous benefits. His cultivation had skyrocketed, all thanks to Yuhan.
Without Yuhan, his cultivation might still be stuck at the early stage of divine transformation.
In Xia Youtian’s eyes, Yuhan was like a walking encyclopedia, seemingly knowing everything.
“Brother Xia, Sister He, can I join your team later?” A disciple quietly approached the two and asked.
He was quite envious of Brother Xia and Sister He, not only because they were powerful but also because they were a couple—truly enviable.

At that moment, a pair of blood-red eyes hidden in the depths suddenly lunged at Lin Fan.
“What the hell?” Lin Fan flicked his finger, and a sword intent instantly killed the shadowy figure.
“Ding, congratulations on killing a low-level demon.”
“Ding, congratulations on gaining +1 experience.”
…
Lin Fan shook his head. It seemed the rumors were true. These must be people infected by the ancient demon’s foul aura.
But they were too weak.
Lin Fan was also clueless about where to go, so he wandered aimlessly like a headless fly.
Along the way, Lin Fan killed many demons, but most were only at the innate level, with none stronger.
Lin Fan began to ponder. Could it be that this area wasn’t too dangerous? Would he have to venture deeper to encounter more powerful demons?
At that moment, a herb glowing with red light grew on a corpse.
“Ding, congratulations on discovering the Blood Spirit Herb.”

These disciples formed groups, killing demons and collecting valuable herbs and treasures.
However, Lin Fan also encountered some disciples in crisis. Although these demons weren’t particularly strong, their grotesque appearances terrified the disciples, who were caught off guard and nearly killed.
Since he had encountered them, Lin Fan naturally wouldn’t stand by and watch. From the shadows, he casually eliminated the threats.
As Lin Fan pressed forward, the mist in the air grew thicker.
The strength of the demons also saw a qualitative leap.
Most were now at the divine level.
But to Lin Fan, they were still like ants. He killed them effortlessly, gaining only a pitiful amount of experience.
…

Some disciples clung tightly to Xia Youtian and He Yuhan, reaping bountiful rewards along the way.
“Brother, Sister, there’s a spirit herb here!” A disciple excitedly pointed out a herb growing in a crevice.
But for this disciple, discovering the herb didn’t mean he could keep it for himself.
“Since you found it, it’s yours,” He Yuhan said.
“Thank you, Sister!” The disciple was overjoyed and carefully stored the herb in his pouch.
Following Brother Xia and Sister He was indeed the right choice. This spirit herb was guarded by a divine-level demon.
If it weren’t for Brother Xia and Sister He killing the demon, he might not have been able to defeat it alone.

But they were also satisfied. Along the way, Brother Xia and Sister He had displayed their might, effortlessly killing any demon that crossed their path.
As for the spirit herbs and treasures, Brother Xia and Sister He didn’t care at all, letting the disciples take them freely, which made them ecstatic.
“Brother, Sister, the demons ahead are getting stronger. Should we head back?” One disciple looked at the increasingly powerful demons and couldn’t help but feel worried.
Especially since his pouch was already full, he was quite content.
“Hmph, why are you so timid? With Brother and Sister here, what is there to fear? If you want to go back, go back alone. Staying with Brother and Sister means there’s meat to eat,” another disciple retorted.
“Alright then,” the first disciple thought it over and agreed. With Brother and Sister around, what was there to fear?
He Yuhan looked at the group of disciples, a slight smile curling her lips.
“Yuhan, I feel a mysterious aura ahead,” Xia Youtian frowned, sensing something ominous.
“Brother Xia, that’s exactly what we’re looking for,” He Yuhan said.
“Yuhan, can you tell me what it is?” Seeing the confidence in Yuhan’s expression, Xia Youtian knew she must have some idea, or else she wouldn’t be so calm.

“Yuhan, who exactly are you? How do you know so much?” Xia Youtian asked.
“Brother Xia, don’t ask. Just believe that I won’t harm you,” He Yuhan replied.
Xia Youtian fell silent for a moment, then nodded. Over the past few months, he had followed Yuhan into many forbidden lands, reaping countless benefits. His cultivation had skyrocketed, and all of it was thanks to Yuhan.
Without Yuhan, his cultivation might still be stuck at the early divine level.
In Xia Youtian’s eyes, Yuhan was like a walking encyclopedia, seemingly knowing everything.
The “Ancient Beast Domain” is full of dangers, so staying close to two experts would definitely ensure his own safety.
Even if he couldn’t get the best treasures, he was sure to obtain at least some decent items.
“Sure,” He Yuhan’s eyes flickered with a hint of mischief before she nodded in agreement.
“Senior Brother Xia, Senior Sister He, can I join your team later?” A disciple quietly approached the two of them and asked.
He was quite envious of Senior Brother Xia and Senior Sister He, not only because of their formidable strength but also because they were a couple. It was truly enviable.
The “Ancient Demon Domain” was fraught with dangers, and being close to two experts would surely guarantee his safety.
Even if he couldn’t obtain anything extraordinary, he would at least get some decent items.

“Senior Brother, Senior Sister, we also want to join your team,” several other disciples chimed in as they entered the trial, immediately seeking protection.
“Alright, no problem,” He Yuhan didn’t refuse any of them.
“Yuhan, this…” Xia Youtian couldn’t help but feel a bit worried. Weren’t they here to search for something? Why were they bringing so many people along?
However, when he saw the smile on He Yuhan’s face, he decided not to say anything more.
He trusted Yuhan, and in his eyes, she was very intelligent. The fact that he had survived until now and improved his strength so rapidly was all thanks to her.

“Ding, congratulations on killing an early-stage innate demon.”

As Lin Fan pressed forward, the mist in the air grew thicker.

But to Lin Fan, these were still like ants, easily killed, with only a pitiful few points of experience gained.

Elsewhere.
Some disciples clung tightly to Xia Youtian and He Yuhan, reaping bountiful rewards along the way.
“Senior Brother, Senior Sister, there’s a spirit herb here,” a disciple excitedly called out upon spotting a herb growing in a crevice.

“Mm, since you found it, it’s yours,” He Yuhan said.

However, when he saw Yuhan’s smile, Xia Yutian decided not to say anything further.
Because he trusted Yuhan, and in his eyes, Yuhan was very clever. He had survived until now and advanced so quickly largely thanks to Yuhan.
…
After watching these people disappear into the mist, Lin Fan also entered the fog from another direction.
The “Ancient Beast Domain” had always been shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see what was inside from the outside.
Legend has it that the “Ancient Beast Domain” was the place where an ancient great beast perished. Its massive corpse fell from the sky into the capital of a nation. The turbid aura emitted from the corpse was absorbed by the people in the city, causing them all to die violently, and an impenetrable fog then covered the area.
Whether this was true or not remained unknown.
At this moment, Lin Fan broke through the mist and looked at the scene before him—broken eaves and collapsed pavilions, all signs that this had once been a bustling capital.
The “Ancient Beast Domain” was filled with murky fog, eerie and terrifying, enough to send chills down one’s spine.
Just then, a pair of blood-red eyes hidden deep within suddenly lunged toward Lin Fan.
“What the hell?” Lin Fan flicked his finger, unleashing a sword intent that instantly cut down the shadowy figure.
“Ding, congratulations on defeating a Primordial-stage beast.”
“Ding, congratulations on gaining +1 experience.”
…
Lin Fan shook his head. It seemed the rumors were true—these must be people infected by the ancient beast’s corrupting aura.
Still, they were too weak.
Lin Fan looked around, puzzled, unsure of how to proceed, wandering aimlessly like a headless fly.
Along the way, Lin Fan killed many beasts, but most were at the Primordial stage, none stronger.
At this point, Lin Fan began to ponder—could this area be relatively safe? Did he need to go deeper to encounter stronger beasts?
Just then, a red-glowing herb grew on a corpse.
“Ding, congratulations on discovering Blood Spirit Grass.”
“Blood Spirit Grass: Nourished by blood energy, it can double one’s blood vitality.”
Lin Fan tossed the Blood Spirit Grass aside. For ordinary cultivators, it was a rare treasure, but to Lin Fan, it was no better than garbage.
A trial ground truly lived up to its name—it held both danger and treasures.
Lin Fan continued deeper and encountered many sect disciples along the way, though he remained hidden in the shadows.
These disciples traveled in groups, killing beasts and obtaining many precious herbs and treasures.
However, Lin Fan also saw some disciples facing danger. Although these beasts weren’t particularly strong, their grotesque appearances frightened the disciples, especially those seeing such horrors for the first time. Naturally, the beasts seized the advantage.
But since he was here, Lin Fan naturally wouldn’t stand by and watch. From the shadows, he casually eliminated the threats.
As Lin Fan moved forward, the fog in the air grew thicker.
The beasts’ strength also improved significantly.
Most were now at the Divine Foundation stage.
But to Lin Fan, they were like ants—easily slain, yielding only pitiful amounts of experience.
…
Elsewhere.
Some disciples tightly clung to Xia Yutian and He Yuhan, enjoying great success along the way.
“Senior Brother Xia, Senior Sister He, can I join your team later?” A disciple quietly approached the two and asked.

The “Ancient Demon Domain” was perpetually shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.
Legend had it that the domain was the resting place of an ancient demon. Its massive corpse had fallen from the sky, landing in the heart of a once-thriving capital. The foul aura emanating from the corpse had poisoned the inhabitants, causing them to perish, while an impenetrable mist enveloped the area.
Whether this was true or not remained a mystery.
As Lin Fan broke through the mist, he was greeted by a scene of desolation: broken rooftops and collapsed pavilions, remnants of what was once a prosperous capital.
The “Ancient Demon Domain” was filled with a murky mist, eerie and terrifying, sending shivers down one’s spine.
At that moment, a pair of blood-red eyes hidden in the depths suddenly lunged at Lin Fan.
“What the hell is that?” Lin Fan flicked his finger, and a sword aura instantly slashed through the shadowy figure.
“Ding, congratulations on killing a low-level demon.”
“Ding, congratulations on gaining +1 experience.”
…
Lin Fan shook his head. It seemed the rumors were true—these were likely people who had been corrupted by the ancient demon’s foul aura.
But they were too weak.
Lin Fan was also at a loss, unsure of where to go, so he wandered aimlessly.
Along the way, he killed many demons, though most were at the early stages of the innate realm, with none stronger appearing.
Lin Fan couldn’t help but wonder: Was this area just a less dangerous zone? Would he need to venture deeper to encounter more powerful demons?
At that moment, a herb glowing with a red light grew atop a corpse.
“Ding, congratulations on discovering the Blood Spirit Grass.”
“Blood Spirit Grass: Nourished by blood energy, it can double one’s blood energy.”
Lin Fan tossed the Blood Spirit Grass aside. While it was a precious treasure for ordinary martial artists, to him, it was no different from trash.
The trial grounds were indeed a place of both danger and treasure.
Lin Fan continued deeper, encountering many sect disciples along the way, though he remained hidden in the shadows.
These disciples worked in teams, killing demons and collecting valuable herbs and treasures.
However, Lin Fan also came across some disciples in peril. While the demons weren’t particularly strong, their grotesque appearances terrified the disciples, who were caught off guard and quickly overwhelmed.
Whenever he encountered such situations, Lin Fan wouldn’t stand idly by. From the shadows, he would casually eliminate the threats.
As Lin Fan pressed on, the mist in the air grew thicker.
The strength of the demons also saw a qualitative leap, with most now at the divine transformation realm.
But to Lin Fan, they were still like ants, easily crushed, and the experience gained was pitifully low.
…
Elsewhere.
Several disciples clung closely to Xia Youtian and He Yuhan, reaping bountiful rewards along the way.
“Brother, Sister, there’s a spirit herb here!” one disciple excitedly called out upon spotting a herb growing in a crevice.
However, the disciple didn’t dare to keep the discovery to himself.
“Since you found it, it’s yours,” He Yuhan said.
“Thank you, Sister!” The disciple was overjoyed and carefully stored the herb in his storage bag.
Following Brother Xia and Sister He was indeed the right choice. The herb was guarded by a divine transformation realm demon.
If it weren’t for Brother Xia and Sister He slaying the demon, he might not have been able to defeat it alone.
The other disciples looked on with envy.
Damn, why was his luck so good? Why hadn’t they spotted it?
But they were already satisfied. Along the way, Brother Xia and Sister He had displayed their might, effortlessly slaying any demon in their path.
And the spirit herbs and treasures? Brother Xia and Sister He didn’t care about them, letting the disciples take whatever they found, which made them ecstatic.
“Brother, Sister, the demons ahead are getting stronger. Should we turn back?” one disciple asked, feeling uneasy.
Especially since his storage bag was already full, he was content.
“Hmph, why are you so timid? With Brother and Sister here, what is there to fear? If you want to go back, go alone. Staying with Brother and Sister means there’s meat to be had,” another disciple retorted.
“Alright then,” the first disciple thought it over and agreed. With Brother and Sister around, there was nothing to fear.
He Yuhan looked at the group of disciples, a faint smile playing on her lips.
“Yuhan, I feel a mysterious aura ahead,” Xia Youtian frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping over him.
“Brother Xia, that’s exactly what we’re looking for,” He Yuhan replied.
“Yuhan, can you tell me what it is?” Xia Youtian, seeing the confidence in He Yuhan’s expression, knew she must have some idea, otherwise she wouldn’t be so calm.
“The bloodline of the ancient demon,” He Yuhan whispered.
“Ah…” Xia Youtian was stunned.
“Legend has it that this is the resting place of the ancient demon, and it’s true. This ancient demon was a ruler. Even after tens of thousands of years, its bloodline has endured. If you consume it, Brother Xia, you’ll gain the bloodline of a demon god, and the benefits will be immense,” He Yuhan said, her eyes narrowing.
“Yuhan, who exactly are you? How do you know so much?” Xia Youtian asked.
“Brother Xia, don’t ask. Just trust that I won’t harm you,” He Yuhan replied.
Xia Youtian fell silent for a moment before nodding. Over the past few months, he had followed He Yuhan into many forbidden lands, reaping countless benefits. His cultivation had skyrocketed, and all of it was thanks to He Yuhan.
Without her, he might still be stuck at the early stages of the divine transformation realm.
In Xia Youtian’s eyes, He Yuhan was like a walking encyclopedia, seemingly knowing everything.
“Brother Xia, Sister He, can I join your team later?” At this moment, a disciple quietly approached the two and asked.
He was extremely envious of Brother Xia and Sister He, not only for their formidable strength but also because they were a couple. It was truly enviable.
The “Ancient Demon Domain” was fraught with dangers, and being in the company of two experts would surely ensure his safety.
Even if he couldn’t obtain any treasures, he would at least get some decent items.
“Sure,” He Yuhan’s eyes flickered with a hint of cunning as she nodded.
“Brother, Sister, we also want to join your team,” several other disciples chimed in, seeking protection as they entered the trial.
“Alright, no problem,” He Yuhan accepted them without hesitation.
“Yuhan, this…” Xia Youtian couldn’t help but feel concerned. Weren’t they here to search for something? Why were they bringing so many people along?
However, when he saw the smile on Yuhan’s face, he decided not to say anything more.
He trusted Yuhan, and in his eyes, she was incredibly intelligent. His survival and rapid improvement in strength were all thanks to her.
…
Lin Fan watched as these people disappeared into the thick mist, then entered the mist from another direction.
The “Ancient Demon Domain” was perpetually shrouded in a dense fog, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.
Legend had it that the “Ancient Demon Domain” was the place where an ancient demon had fallen. Its massive corpse had plummeted from the sky and landed in the heart of a once-thriving capital. The foul aura emanating from the ancient demon’s corpse was absorbed by the people of the capital, causing them all to perish. Simultaneously, an impenetrable mist enveloped the area.
Whether this legend was true or not remained unknown.
Now, Lin Fan broke through the mist and gazed at the scene before him: dilapidated rooftops and collapsed pavilions, all remnants of a once-prosperous capital.
The “Ancient Demon Domain” was filled with a murky mist, eerie and terrifying, sending chills down one’s spine.
At that moment, a pair of blood-red eyes hidden in the depths suddenly lunged at Lin Fan.
“What the hell is that?” Lin Fan flicked his finger, and a sword intent instantly slashed through the shadowy figure that had pounced on him.
“Ding, congratulations on killing an early-stage innate demon.”
“Ding, congratulations on gaining +1 experience.”
…
Lin Fan shook his head. It seemed the rumors were true. These must be people who had been corrupted by the ancient demon’s foul aura.
But they were too weak.
Lin Fan was also at a loss, unsure of how to proceed. He wandered aimlessly like a headless fly.
Along the way, Lin Fan killed many demons, but most were only at the innate level. None with higher cultivation appeared.
At this point, Lin Fan couldn’t help but ponder. Was this area not particularly dangerous? Would he have to venture deeper to encounter more powerful demons?
Just then, a herb emitting a red glow grew on a corpse.
“Ding, congratulations on discovering a Blood Spirit Herb.”
“Blood Spirit Herb: Nourished by blood energy, it can double one’s blood energy.”
Lin Fan tossed the Blood Spirit Herb aside. While it might be a precious treasure for ordinary martial artists, to Lin Fan, it was no different from trash.
The trial grounds were indeed the trial grounds—full of dangers but also accompanied by treasures.
Lin Fan continued to delve deeper, encountering many sect disciples along the way. However, Lin Fan remained in the shadows, never revealing himself.
These disciples formed small groups, killing demons and obtaining various precious herbs and treasures.
However, Lin Fan also encountered some disciples in peril. Although the demons weren’t particularly strong, their grotesque appearances terrified the disciples, who were caught off guard and thus at a disadvantage.
Since he had come across them, Lin Fan naturally didn’t stand idly by. He quietly eliminated the threats.
As Lin Fan pressed forward, the mist in the air grew thicker.
The strength of the demons also saw a qualitative leap.
Most were now at the divine level.
But to Lin Fan, these were still like ants. He casually dispatched them, gaining only a pitiful amount of experience.

If it weren’t for Brother and Sister slaying the demon, he might not have been able to defeat it alone.
The other disciples around looked on with envy.
Damn, why was he so lucky? Why hadn’t they spotted it?
But they were already quite satisfied. Along the way, Brother and Sister had displayed their might, and any demon that crossed their path met a swift end.
As for the spirit herbs and treasures, Brother Xia and Sister He didn’t care at all, letting the disciples take them freely, which made them ecstatic.
“Brother, Sister, the demons ahead are getting stronger. Should we turn back?” one disciple asked, feeling uneasy.
Especially since his pouch was already full, he was quite content.
“Hmph, why are you so timid? With Brother and Sister here, what is there to fear? If you want to go back, go alone. Staying with Brother and Sister means there’s meat to be had,” another disciple retorted.
“Alright then,” the first disciple thought it over and agreed. With Brother and Sister around, there was nothing to fear.
He Yuhan looked at the group of disciples, a slight smile playing on her lips.
“Yuhan, I sense a mysterious aura ahead,” Xia Youtian frowned, feeling a sense of foreboding.
“Brother Xia, that’s exactly what we’re looking for,” He Yuhan said.
“Yuhan, can you tell me what it is?” Xia Youtian, seeing Yuhan’s confident expression, knew she must have some knowledge of it, otherwise she wouldn’t be so calm.
“The bloodline of the ancient demon,” He Yuhan whispered.

“Yuhan, who exactly are you? How do you know so much?” Xia Youtian asked.

“Sure,” He Yuhan’s eyes flickered with a hint of cunning before she nodded.
“Brother, Sister, we also want to join your team,” several other disciples chimed in, eager to latch onto the strong as soon as the trial began.
“Alright, no problem,” He Yuhan accepted them without hesitation.

At that moment, a herb glowing with a red light grew on a corpse.
“Ding, congratulations on discovering Blood Spirit Grass.”

Lin Fan tossed the Blood Spirit Grass to the ground. While it was a precious treasure for ordinary martial artists, to Lin Fan, it was no different from trash.

Damn, how lucky can one person be? Why hadn’t they seen anything?
“Senior Brother Xia, Senior Sister He, can I join your team later?” At this moment, a disciple quietly approached the two and asked.
He was deeply envious of Senior Brother Xia and Senior Sister He, not only for their formidable strength but also because they were a couple. It was truly enviable.
The “Ancient Demon Domain” was fraught with dangers, and staying close to these two experts would surely guarantee his safety.
Even if he didn’t get any treasures, he could at least secure some ordinary items.

“Yuhan, who exactly are you? How do you know so much?” Xia Youtian asked.
“Brother Xia, don’t ask. Just believe that I won’t harm you,” He Yuhan replied.
Xia Youtian fell silent for a moment, then nodded. Over the past few months, he had followed Yuhan into many forbidden lands, reaping numerous benefits. His cultivation had skyrocketed, and all of this was thanks to Yuhan.
Without Yuhan, his cultivation might still be stuck at the early divine level.
In Xia Youtian’s eyes, Yuhan was like a walking encyclopedia, seemingly knowing everything.
“Senior Brother Xia, Senior Sister He, can I join your team later?” At this moment, a disciple quietly approached the two and whispered.
He was extremely envious of Senior Brother Xia and Senior Sister He. Not only were they both incredibly strong, but they were also a couple. It was almost too much to bear.
The “Ancient Demon Domain” was fraught with danger, and by sticking close to these two experts, he was sure to have his safety guaranteed.
Even if he didn’t get any treasures, he would at least be able to secure some decent items.
“Sure,” He Yuhan’s eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief as she nodded.
“Senior Brother, Senior Sister, we also want to join your team,” several other disciples chimed in as they entered the trial, already looking for strong allies.
“No problem,” He Yuhan welcomed them all without hesitation.
“Yuhan, this…” Xia Youtian couldn’t help but feel a bit worried. Weren’t they here to search for treasures? Why were they bringing so many people along?
But when he saw the smile on He Yuhan’s face, he decided not to say anything more.
He trusted Yuhan. In his eyes, she was incredibly intelligent. The fact that he had survived this long and his strength had grown so rapidly was all thanks to her.
…
Lin Fan watched as the group disappeared into the thick mist before he too entered from another direction.
The “Ancient Demon Domain” was perpetually shrouded in a dense fog, making it impossible to see what lay inside from the outside.
Legend had it that the “Ancient Demon Domain” was the place where an ancient demon had fallen. Its massive corpse had plummeted from the sky and landed in the heart of a once-prosperous capital. The foul aura emanating from the ancient demon’s corpse had been absorbed by the people of the capital, causing them all to perish. At the same time, an impenetrable mist had enveloped the area.
Whether this was true or not, no one could say for certain.
Now, as Lin Fan broke through the mist, he saw the remnants of a once-thriving capital—crumbling rooftops and collapsed pavilions.
The “Ancient Demon Domain” was filled with a murky, oppressive fog, eerie and terrifying, sending chills down one’s spine.
Just then, a pair of blood-red eyes hidden in the depths suddenly lunged at Lin Fan.
“What the hell is that?” Lin Fan flicked his finger, and a sword aura instantly sliced through the shadowy figure that had attacked him.
“Ding, congratulations on killing a low-level demon.”
“Ding, congratulations on gaining +1 experience.”
…
Lin Fan shook his head. It seemed the rumors were true. These must be people who had been corrupted by the ancient demon’s foul aura.
But they were too weak.
Lin Fan was also at a loss about where to go next. He wandered aimlessly, like a headless fly.
Along the way, he killed many demons, but most were only at the innate level. None of them were stronger.
Lin Fan began to ponder. Perhaps this area wasn’t too dangerous? Would he have to venture deeper to encounter more powerful demons?
Just then, he spotted a glowing red herb growing on a corpse.
“Ding, congratulations on discovering a Blood Spirit Herb.”
“Blood Spirit Herb: Nourished by blood essence, it can double one’s own blood essence.”
Lin Fan tossed the Blood Spirit Herb aside. For most martial artists, this would be a precious treasure, but to Lin Fan, it was no different from trash.
The trial grounds were indeed the trial grounds—full of danger, but also treasures.
Lin Fan continued to venture deeper, encountering many sect disciples along the way. However, he remained hidden, never revealing himself.
These disciples were all in groups, killing demons and collecting valuable herbs and treasures.
However, Lin Fan also came across some disciples in peril. While the demons weren’t particularly strong, their grotesque appearances were enough to terrify the disciples, who were often caught off guard and overwhelmed.
Whenever Lin Fan encountered such situations, he wouldn’t stand idly by. From the shadows, he would casually eliminate the threat.
As Lin Fan pressed on, the mist in the air grew thicker, and the strength of the demons increased significantly.
Most of them were now at the divine level.
But to Lin Fan, they were still like ants. He killed them effortlessly, gaining only a pitiful amount of experience.
…
Elsewhere.
A group of disciples clung tightly to Xia Youtian and He Yuhan, reaping bountiful rewards along the way.
“Senior Brother, Senior Sister, there’s a spirit herb here!” A disciple excitedly called out upon spotting a herb growing in a crevice.
However, the disciple didn’t dare to keep the herb for himself.
“Good, since you found it, it’s yours,” He Yuhan said.
“Thank you, Senior Sister!” The disciple was overjoyed and carefully stored the herb in his storage bag.
Following Senior Brother and Senior Sister was definitely the right choice. This spirit herb had been guarded by a divine-level demon.
If it weren’t for Senior Brother and Senior Sister killing the demon, he probably wouldn’t have been able to defeat it on his own.
The other disciples around them looked on with envy.
Damn, why was his luck so good? Why hadn’t they spotted it?
But they were also quite satisfied. Along the way, Senior Brother and Senior Sister had been unstoppable, effortlessly killing any demon that crossed their path.
As for the spirit herbs and treasures, Senior Brother Xia and Senior Sister He didn’t seem to care, letting the disciples take them as they pleased. It was almost too good to be true.
“Senior Brother, Senior Sister, the demons ahead are getting stronger. Should we turn back?” One disciple couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous, especially since his storage bag was already full.
“Hmph, why are you so timid? With Senior Brother and Senior Sister here, what’s there to fear? If you want to go back, go back alone. Staying with Senior Brother and Senior Sister means there’s always more to gain,” another disciple retorted.
“Alright then,” the first disciple thought about it and agreed. With Senior Brother and Senior Sister around, what was there to fear?
He Yuhan looked at the group of disciples, a slight smile playing on her lips.
“Yuhan, I feel like there’s a mysterious aura ahead,” Xia Youtian frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping over him.
“Brother Xia, that’s exactly what we’re looking for,” He Yuhan said.
“Yuhan, can you tell me what it is?” Xia Youtian, seeing the confidence in He Yuhan’s expression, knew she must have some idea, otherwise she wouldn’t be so calm.
“The bloodline of the ancient demon,” He Yuhan whispered.
“What?” Xia Youtian was stunned.
“Legend has it that this is the place where the ancient demon fell, and it’s true. This ancient demon was a king. Even after tens of thousands of years, its bloodline can withstand the passage of time. If you consume it, Brother Xia, you’ll gain the bloodline of a demon god. The benefits will be immense,” He Yuhan said, her eyes narrowing.
“Yuhan, who exactly are you? How do you know so much?” Xia Youtian asked.
“Brother Xia, don’t ask. Just trust that I won’t harm you,” He Yuhan replied.
Xia Youtian fell silent for a moment, then nodded. Over the past few months, he had followed He Yuhan into many forbidden lands, reaping countless benefits. His cultivation had skyrocketed, and all of it was thanks to He Yuhan.
Without her, he might still be stuck at the early divine level.
To Xia Youtian, He Yuhan was like a walking encyclopedia, seemingly knowing everything.
Especially since his storage pouch was already full, he was quite satisfied.
“Senior Brother Xia, Senior Sister He, can I join your team later?” A disciple quietly approached them and asked.
He was quite envious of Senior Brother Xia and Senior Sister He, not only for their formidable strength but also because they were a couple. It was truly enviable.
The “Ancient Demon Domain” was fraught with dangers, and staying close to these two experts would surely guarantee his safety.
Even if he couldn’t obtain any treasures, he would at least secure some decent items.
“Sure,” He Yuhan’s eyes sparkled with a hint of slyness before she nodded.
“Senior Brother, Senior Sister, we want to join your team too,” several other disciples chimed in, seeking protection as they entered the trial.
“Alright, no problem,” He Yuhan welcomed them without hesitation.
“Yuhan, this…” Xia Youtian couldn’t help but feel concerned. Weren’t they here to search for something? Why were they bringing so many people along?
However, when he saw the smile on Yuhan’s face, he decided not to say anything more.
He trusted Yuhan, and in his eyes, she was incredibly intelligent. His survival and rapid improvement in strength were all thanks to her.

Lin Fan watched as these people disappeared into the thick mist before entering the fog from another direction.

Legend had it that the “Ancient Demon Domain” was the site where an ancient demon had fallen. Its massive corpse had plummeted from the sky, landing in the heart of a once-thriving capital. The foul aura emitted by the ancient demon’s corpse had been absorbed by the city’s inhabitants, causing them all to perish. Simultaneously, an impenetrable mist had enveloped the area.
Whether this tale was true or not remained a mystery.
As Lin Fan broke through the mist, he was greeted by a scene of desolation: crumbling roofs and collapsed pavilions, all remnants of what had once been a prosperous capital.
The “Ancient Demon Domain” was filled with a murky, eerie mist that sent shivers down one’s spine.
At that moment, a pair of blood-red eyes hidden in the depths suddenly lunged at Lin Fan.
“What the hell is that?” Lin Fan flicked his finger, and a sword intent instantly slashed through the shadowy figure.
“Ding, congratulations on killing a beginner-level demon.”
“Ding, congratulations on gaining +1 experience.”
…
Lin Fan shook his head. It seemed the rumors were true; these must be people who had been corrupted by the ancient demon’s foul aura.
But they were too weak.
Lin Fan was also at a loss, unsure of where to search, so he wandered aimlessly like a headless fly.
Along the way, he killed many demons, but most were at the beginner level, with none of higher cultivation.
Lin Fan couldn’t help but ponder: Was this area not particularly dangerous? Would he have to venture deeper to encounter more powerful demons?
At that moment, a glowing red herb sprouted from a corpse.
“Ding, congratulations on discovering the Blood Spirit Herb.”
“Blood Spirit Herb: Nourished by blood energy, it can double one’s blood energy.”
Lin Fan tossed the Blood Spirit Herb aside. While it might be a precious treasure for ordinary martial artists, to him, it was no different from trash.
The trial grounds were indeed the trial grounds—full of dangers but also accompanied by treasures.
Lin Fan continued to delve deeper, encountering many sect disciples along the way. However, he remained hidden, never revealing himself.
These disciples formed groups, killing demons and obtaining many precious herbs and treasures.
However, Lin Fan also encountered some disciples in peril. While the demons weren’t particularly strong, their grotesque appearances terrified the disciples, who were caught off guard and thus at a disadvantage.
Since he had come across them, Lin Fan naturally didn’t stand idly by. He discreetly eliminated the threats.
As Lin Fan pressed on, the mist in the air grew thicker, and the strength of the demons also saw a qualitative leap.
Most were now at the Divine Transformation level.
But to Lin Fan, they were still like ants, easily slain, with only a pitiful amount of experience gained.

Several disciples clung tightly to Xia Youtian and He Yuhan, reaping bountiful rewards along the way.

Other disciples around them looked on with envy.
Damn, why was his luck so good? Why hadn’t they spotted it?
But they were already quite satisfied. Along the way, Senior Brother and Senior Sister had displayed their might, and any demon that crossed their path met a bitter end.
As for the spirit herbs and treasures, Senior Brother Xia and Senior Sister He didn’t mind at all, letting the disciples take them freely, which made them ecstatic.
“Senior Brother, Senior Sister, the demons ahead are getting stronger. Should we head back?” one disciple asked, feeling uneasy.
Especially since his storage bag was already full, he was quite content.
“Hmph, why are you so timid? With Senior Brother and Senior Sister here, what is there to fear? If you want to go back, go alone. Staying with Senior Brother and Senior Sister means there’s meat to be had,” another disciple retorted.
“Alright then,” the first disciple thought it over and agreed. With Senior Brother and Senior Sister around, what was there to fear?
He Yuhan looked at the group of disciples, a slight smile curling her lips.
“Yuhan, I sense a mysterious aura ahead,” Xia Youtian frowned, feeling a sense of foreboding.
“Brother Xia, that’s exactly what we’re looking for,” He Yuhan said.
“Yuhan, just tell me what it is,” Xia Youtian, seeing the confidence in Yuhan’s eyes, knew she must have some idea, otherwise she wouldn’t be so composed.
“The bloodline of the ancient demon,” He Yuhan whispered.
“Ah…” Xia Youtian was stunned.
“Legend has it that this is the site where the ancient demon fell, and it’s true. This ancient demon was a sovereign. Even after tens of thousands of years, its bloodline can withstand the passage of time. If Brother Xia consumes this bloodline, you will possess the bloodline of a demon god, and the benefits will be immense,” He Yuhan said, her eyes narrowing.
“Yuhan, who exactly are you? How do you know so much?” Xia Youtian asked.

Lin Fan tossed the Blood Spirit Grass aside. While it was a precious treasure for ordinary martial artists, to Lin Fan, it was no different from trash.
The trial grounds were indeed the trial grounds—full of dangers but also accompanied by treasures.
Lin Fan continued deeper, encountering many sect disciples along the way. However, he remained hidden, never revealing himself.
These disciples worked in teams, killing demons and acquiring many precious herbs and treasures.
However, Lin Fan also encountered some disciples in peril. While the demons weren’t particularly strong, their grotesque appearances terrified the disciples, who were caught off guard and overwhelmed.
When Lin Fan saw this, he naturally didn’t stand idly by. From the shadows, he casually eliminated the threats.

The strength of the demons also saw a qualitative leap.

He Yuhan looked at the group of disciples and slightly lifted the corners of her mouth into a faint smile.
“Yuhan, I feel like there’s a mysterious aura ahead,” Xia Yutian furrowed his brows at this moment, sensing an ominous premonition.
“Xia Ge, what we’re looking for is that thing,” He Yuhan said.
“Yuhan, just tell me what it is, okay?” Seeing He Yuhan’s confident expression, Xia Yutian realized she must know what it was, otherwise she wouldn’t be so calm.
“The ancient great beast’s bloodline,” He Yuhan softly said.
“Eh…” Xia Yutian was taken aback.
“It’s said this is the place where the ancient great beast perished, and in fact, that’s true. This ancient beast was a king. Although thousands of years have passed, its bloodline can withstand the test of time. Once Xia Ge absorbs this bloodline, you will obtain the bloodline of a beast god, bringing countless benefits,” He Yuhan said with a smile.
“Yuhan, exactly who are you? How do you know so much?” Xia Yutian asked.
“Xia Ge, don’t ask. Just believe me when I say I would never harm you,” He Yuhan said.
Xia Yutian was silent for a moment before nodding. Over these past few months, he had followed Yuhan through many forbidden areas, gaining many treasures and rapidly advancing in cultivation. All of this was thanks to Yuhan.
Without Yuhan, he might still be stuck at the early Divine Foundation stage.
In Xia Yutian’s eyes, Yuhan was like a walking omniscient being, seemingly knowing everything.
