My Fairy Growth System

Yu Qingtan's eyes flashed with a hint of different color upon hearing the words, the Zhu Yan Secret Realm? This indeed sounded like a tempting secret. Yet, she did not immediately respond, but signaled for Hao Yang Demon Saint to continue.

"As for the second secret, it is that in recent years, the Demon Emperors of the Demon Race and the Sea Emperors of the Sea Clan have had several meetings. It is unclear what they are plotting."

After hearing Hao Yang Demon Saint's narration, Yu Qingtan mused internally.

The Zhu Yan Secret Realm, she had an opportunity to make some plans, and the secret plot between the Demon Race and the Sea Clan was even more extensive, perhaps the Lichuan Cultivation World would not be peaceful.

"Hao Yang, if what you say is true, it is indeed valuable," Yu Qingtan's voice contained a trace of barely noticeable amusement as she slowly descended in front of Hao Yang Demon Saint, her gaze profound, "But you must understand that the outcome of betrayal will be even more miserable than death."

Hao Yang Demon Saint hastily kowtowed, his attitude sincere: "Fairy, rest assured, Hao Yang speaks nothing but the truth, and will never have a second heart in the future. I am willing to swear by my soul, to be loyal to you in this life. If there is any betrayal, may I receive heavenly punishment."

After saying that, Hao Yang Demon Saint solemnly made a Soul Oath.

"Release your Demon Core, do not resist!" Yu Qingtan commanded, naturally, she would not solely rely on the Soul Oath for restraint.

Hao Yang Demon Saint lowered his head, a hint of helplessness flickering in his eyes, then he spat out a dove egg-sized inner core from his mouth, most of a high-stage demon's soul rested within this inner core.

Yu Qingtan's soul stirred, leaving a Soul Constraint upon his inner core. Only then did Hao Yang Demon Saint realize that Yu Qingtan's soul was even stronger than his own, which had been branded with the Soul Dao Principle, no wonder his own soul attacks were useless.

What Hao Yang Demon Saint did not know was that the Soul Constraint Yu Qingtan had planted was also linked to Yu Qingtan's "Fairy Cultivation System," placing Hao Yang Demon Saint's life and death on Yu Qingtan's whim, and it would be useless even if he broke through to become a Demon Emperor.

"Remember my name, Wuniang of the Eternal Sect. Now go back, integrate the four tribes, and have all the resources and treasures packed. Deliver them to Xing'an Immortal City in one month's time, and continue to gather information about the secret plot between the Demon Race and the Sea Clan," Yu Qingtan ordered. Xing'an Immortal City was her next destination.

Upon hearing this, Hao Yang Demon Saint showed a complex look in his eyes, feeling both grateful for surviving a disaster and apprehensive about his future destiny. He respectfully bowed and said, "I shall obey the Fairy's command. Hao Yang will do his utmost to fulfill your trust."

With that, Hao Yang Demon Saint's figure flickered as he turned into a streak of light, quickly disappearing on the spot, rushing towards the direction of the White Ape, Titan Giant Ape, Huangmi, and Bear Monkey tribes.

Meanwhile, Yu Qingtan stood in the void, watching the direction in which Hao Yang Demon Saint had left, a faint smile curving her lips.

She returned to the original battlefield, and Xiao Lian had already collected the flesh and blood of the three Demon Saints. Upon seeing Yu Qingtan return, she handed over the Demon Cores and Taoist Instruments of the three demons to Yu Qingtan.

The flesh and blood of three Seventh Stage Demon Saints, though not as good as the Eighth Stage Demon Emperor's essential blood obtained from an auction, still offered significant help to her Body Refinement.

The Demon Cores were specially preserved by Yu Qingtan, who only used Sword Qi to annihilate their souls, as after all, the Demon Cores were quite valuable. Inside the Artifact Space were the possessions of the three Demon Saints, worth over three billion Immortal Crystals when added together.

After another sweep through the battlefield, Yu Qingtan continued on her way towards Xing'an Immortal City.

Xing'an Immortal City, close to the Lichuan Inner Sea, was also near the destination marked on the map in Yu Qingtan's hands—the Netherworld Phoenix Ancient Land.

After reaching Xing'an Immortal City, Yu Qingtan directly bought a house to stay temporarily, waiting for Hao Yang Demon Saint on the one hand, and for news about the Netherworld Phoenix Ancient Land on the other.

Indeed, just a few days later, terrifying fluctuations of a battle wave came from afar. Yu Qingtan felt it and knew that an Emperor Sovereign at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage had taken action, and it was in the direction he was heading.

"Could it be that the information about the auction selling the location of the Netherworld Phoenix Ancient Land is true?" Yu Qingtan thought to himself but didn't act rashly.

A few more days passed, and finally, news arrived. At Heavenly Corner, the Demon Race and Sea Clan joined forces to use a fake Netherworld Phoenix Ancient Land as a trap to kill two Human Race Emperor Sovereigns and dozens of Body Integration Saint Venerables.

The fallen Human Race Emperor Sovereigns were from the Primordial Demon Sect's Yilin Emperor Sovereign and Red Dust Demon Sect's Lin Fan Emperor Sovereign.

"At that time, my seventh aunt's good friend was at the scene. The fall of an Eighth Stage Tribulation Crossing Emperor Sovereign was truly terrifying, as if the sky had collapsed!"

"Are the Demon Race and Sea Clan joining forces to wage war against the Human Race? Isn't staying in the Myriad Demon Empire extremely dangerous for us?"

"Isn't that the truth? Although the Demon Race claims that it really was the Netherworld Phoenix Ancient Land, and the Eighth Stage Formation inside was not something they could set up, the cultivators from the Da Gao Empire clearly do not believe it. Both sides are now in a standoff at the border. We better hurry up and leave the Myriad Demon Empire!"

...

After the news came, many of the Human Race in Xing'an Immortal City chose to leave. Of course, Yu Qingtan was unmoved.

It wasn't long before Hao Yang Demon Saint arrived and brought Yu Qingtan high-stage treasures from the four clans, worth more than three billion Immortal Crystals and over two billion Divine Crystals.

"Fairy, the upper echelons of the Myriad Demon Empire have issued a conscription order. Although I have reported to my superiors about the fall of the three clan Demon Saints, they ignored it and still decided to conscript half of our four clan's high-stage members of the Demon Tribe, and I am also on the list. It seems a war is about to start!" Hao Yang Demon Saint reported the news she had gathered to Yu Qingtan.

"Mm, I understand. You go back first and do as necessary, don't die, I'll contact you if I need anything," Yu Qingtan said coldly.

After Hao Yang Demon Saint left, Yu Qingtan used the Reincarnation Mantra to transform into a Fifth Stage Demon Clan member and left Xing'an Immortal City, heading towards Heavenly Corner.

The Central Continent extends towards the Lichuan Inner Sea in the southwest of the Myriad Demon Empire, stretching into a peninsula tens of thousands of miles long; the place closest to the sea at the peninsula is named Heavenly Corner.

Heavenly Corner is a cliff with its highest point tens of thousands of feet above the sea level. Yet, below the sea surface, the cliff extends downward for over a hundred thousand feet.

The location of the Netherworld Phoenix Ancient Land indicated on the map in Yu Qingtan's hands lies somewhere along the sea bottom cliff at Heavenly Corner.

That is to say, the news auctioned by the Hundred Treasures Auction was true. But according to the intelligence Yu Qingtan had obtained, the Netherworld Phoenix Ancient Land had not been entered, so the Human Race claimed it was just a trap.

When Yu Qingtan stealthily approached Heavenly Corner, he found that many members of the Demon Race and Sea Clan still guarded the place.

Yu Qingtan concealed himself in the sea, quietly waiting for an opportunity. In just a few days, he noticed a Sixth Stage Canglong Sea Emperor leaving his guard post and heading into the deep sea.

Then, this unfortunate Canglong Sea Emperor was easily captured by Yu Qingtan, who interrogated him with a Truth Talisman to learn all the intelligence.

This Canglong Sea Emperor also had a significant status, as a direct descendant of the Canglong Sea Emperor himself and was the second in command of the Sea Clan forces guarding Heavenly Corner. He left his post for a secret rendezvous with his lover.
