Shangguan Yun looked at Zhao Hai with a puzzled expression and said, "We've also investigated the Demons. They seem to be similar to the Ark of Misfortune. However, they are much worse compared to the Ark of Misfortune. I heard that they were driven out of their own realms. Although they aren't weak, they still seem to be lacking compared to the Ark of Misfortune." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "What do you mean?
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly, then he turned to Elder Tang and said, "Elder Tang, you explain it to them."
Elder Tang nodded, then he sighed and said, "The Extraterritorial Devil Race might be from a higher realm. We don't know why they came here, but they definitely wouldn't be so honest. Because of this, Zhao Hai thinks that they must be plotting something. We've been investigating the Extraterritorial Devil Race for many years, but we've been able to find very little information. This is because the Extraterritorial Devil Race seems to have been brainwashed. They only respect the Extraterritorial Devil Race and don't care about anyone else. Moreover, once they find out that someone wants to harm the Extraterritorial Devil Race, even if it's their own family, they wouldn't let them off. It's as if they've gone mad."
When he spoke up to here, Elder Tang sighed and said in a deep voice, "My Life and Death Arena sent a total of almost 100 spies into the territory controlled by the Outerealm Devil Race, but not a single one of them has returned alive."
As soon as Shangguan Yun and the others heard Elder Tang, they felt the seriousness of the matter. If what Elder Tang said was true, then the Extraterritorial Devil Race's goal wouldn't be small.
Shangguan Yun looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, what enmity do you have with the Extraterritorial Devil Race? Why do you want the Extraterritorial Devil Race to perish? "
Zhao Hai replied, "I don't have any enmity with the Extraterritorial Devil Race. However, the enmity between my realm and the Extraterritorial Devil Race is irreconcilable. I'm from the True Spiritual Realm. Have you heard of it?"
When Shangguan Yun and the others heard Zhao Hai, they couldn't help but frown. They really couldn't think of the True Spiritual Realm.
After some time, Sima Wuhen looked at Zhao Hai and said with some uncertainty, "Is the True Spiritual Realm the only realm that repelled the Extraterritorial Devil Race?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "In the past, when the Extraterritorial Demons invaded the True Spirit Realm, all the cultivators of the realm stood up to resist. In the end, the True Spirit Realm paid a very heavy price in order to repel the Extraterritorial Demons. However, since then, the True Spirit Realm has been in decline. The Extraterritorial Demons are like a sword that hangs over the True Spirit Realm's head. At the same time, the Extraterritorial Demons also considered the True Spirit Realm as their enemy. Most of the people that the True Spirit Realm sent to the Void were killed by them. Now that the Extraterritorial Demons are getting stronger and stronger, the True Spirit Realm has yet to recover. If the Extraterritorial Demons attack the True Spirit Realm, then the True Spirit Realm would be in danger."
At this point, Zhao Hai sighed, then he continued, "When I arrived in the Void Realm, I didn't dare to say that I'm from the True Spirit Realm because I was afraid that the Demons would deal with me. Later on, I discovered that the Void Realm is very loose, I can establish my own force. Therefore, I established the Four Righteous Gang and developed it step by step. In the past few years, I've been paying attention to the situation of the Sky Demons. However, I have to say that the Sky Demons have been very low-key in recent years, to the point that it's abnormal. Because of this, I didn't make a move against them.
Zhao Hai turned to Sima Wuhen and the others and said, "The appearance of the Ark of Misfortune has given me a reminder. If the Demons didn't expand in the past few years, and we didn't know about it, then what would the consequences be?" Zhao Hai looked at Sima Wuhen and the others and said, "The appearance of the Ark of Misfortune has given me a reminder. What if they accidentally opened a spatial rift from somewhere else and ran to a realm that we have never come into contact with? What would the consequences be? "
Shangguan Yun and the others shook. Shangguan Yun looked at Zhao Hai and said, "You mean to say that the Extraterritorial Devil Race is likely to conquer other planes that have no connection with the Six Regions of the Void? So they've been keeping a low profile in the outside world while secretly accumulating strength? "
Zhao Hai said, "It's very possible. Apart from this possibility, I don't know why the Extraterritorial Devil Race has been so well-behaved all these years. Could it be that they're satisfied? That they're not expanding? Is this possible? The Extraterritorial Devil Race is a race that doesn't know what satisfaction is. How could they be satisfied? I don't believe it even if you beat me to death. "
Shangguan Yun nodded and said, "I don't believe it either. If that's really the case, then we really have to be on guard."
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I'm not telling you this because I want you to help me deal with the Extraterritorial Demons. The Extraterritorial Demons have a great enmity with our True Spirit Realm, and I will personally take revenge. I just came in contact with you. Although your clans aren't particularly good friends, we aren't enemies either. Because of this, I don't want you to be defenseless against the Extraterritorial Demons. The Extraterritorial Demons conquering a plane doesn't mean that they want to rule it, they want to turn the people of the plane into slaves. I don't want you to become like that, so I'm telling you this."
Shangguan Yun looked at Zhao Hai and said, "We'll report this to our clans. However, it's not certain whether our clans will believe it or not. But I'm sure that our clans will send people to investigate. However, there's one thing we can guarantee, we'll keep this matter a secret for you."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you keep this secret or not. I established the Underworld and its strength isn't weak. If the Extraterritorial Devil Race knows about me, then I'm afraid it won't be easy for the True Spiritual World to kill me."
Shangguan Yun and the others believed in this point. Zhao Hai's strength was very formidable. Coupled with the Underworld's strength, even if the Extraterritorial Devil Race wanted to deal with Zhao Hai, they would have to pay a heavy price.
After looking at the time, Zhao Hai said, "Alright, everyone, the banquet is about to begin. Let's go and participate in the banquet. Just act as if nothing happened. As for the Extraterritorial Devil Race, you just need to be a little vigilant. I don't think they'll make a move right now. As for me going to deal with the other realms, you just need to act as if you don't know about it." After he said that, Zhao Hai stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture.
Shangguan Yun and the others sighed, but they still accepted Zhao Hai's good intentions. They stood up and cupped their fists towards Zhao Hai before following Zhao Hai outside.
The banquet was very successful. The people of the Void Realm didn't dare to not give face to Zhao Hai. For them, the Underworld was now a giant. They were no longer qualified to be on equal footing with Zhao Hai.
A few days after the banquet, Zhao Hai summoned Tiger's Might and the others to the conference room. After Tiger's Might and the others arrived, Zhao Hai opened his mouth and said, "I've already told everyone that we're going to send troops to the other realms. How are your preparations?"
Tiger's Might immediately replied, "Big Brother, don't worry. We're all ready. The people and supplies are ready. A hundred thousand iron armored troops and other supplies are ready. We can set off at any time."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Good, it's good that you're ready. I'll be leaving in seven days. After I leave, you must manage the Underworld well. Make sure that nothing goes wrong. Moreover, when I'm dealing with them, the people from the other realms might retaliate. You need to be prepared."
Tiger's Might nodded and said, "Big Brother, don't worry. We'll do it well."
Zhao Hai turned his head to the others and said, "What about you?"
The others immediately stood up and cupped their fists towards Zhao Hai, "Mansion Lord, please rest assured. We'll take care of the Underworld."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright. Ji Wuming, you'll come with me this time. Everyone else will take care of the Underworld." Ji Wuming nodded and didn't say anything else. In this year, Ji Wuming went from being Zhao Hai's secretary to a steward. He was still loyal to the Underworld and didn't act recklessly. However, he also became taciturn.
Zhao Hai didn't care about Ji Wuming's change. Ji Wuming was originally the second-in-command of the Ji Family. Now that he suddenly changed from being the second-in-command of the Ji Family to a small steward of the Underworld, he naturally couldn't adapt to this change. Therefore, he didn't care about it.
Zhao Hai looked at the others and said, "Now, our Underworld has the qualifications to compete with the Five Great Clans. Even if we dominate the Six Regions of the Void, that's not what we want. You should know that the Martial God Realm is much stronger than the Six Regions of the Void. We are all cultivators, we'll always pursue the Great Dao of Longevity. If we want to live longer, we must go to a higher realm. And if we want to go to a higher realm, we must first become stronger. The Martial God Realm can help us become stronger. Therefore, we're not going to the Martial God Realm just to take revenge and increase our strength, but also to pursue the Heavenly Dao."
As soon as everyone heard Zhao Hai's words, their eyes lit up. However, some of them looked sad. These people were people who were conquered by Zhao Hai, just like Ji Wuming.
Zhao Hai looked at Ji Wuming and the others who surrendered and said, "Some of you here have surrendered to me. You think that surrendering to me is the birth of an inner demon, and that you won't be able to advance your cultivation unless you kill me. But have you ever thought that if I ascend one day and you were defeated by me, would that still be an inner demon? In that realm, there are people who can ascend. Does that mean that those who were defeated by them can't ascend? Not necessarily. As long as I ascend, your inner demons will be dispelled. Naturally, you can ascend and pursue the Heavenly Dao. "
Zhao Hai's words made the eyes of Ji Wuming and the others shine. They all turned their heads and looked at Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "Cultivators, failure doesn't produce inner demons. Even if you do, you can still overcome them. The most important thing for a Cultivator is to have confidence and to have a firm heart. You must always believe that you can comprehend the Heavenly Dao. Only with a firm heart can you continue on. Otherwise, even if you weren't defeated by me and didn't surrender to me, you would still have other inner demons. You still wouldn't be able to ascend. That's all I have to say, you can comprehend it yourselves." After saying that, Zhao Hai stood up and turned to leave. Ji Wuming sat there for a long time without getting up.
White Tiger's Might also sat there. After a while, he patted Ji Wuming's shoulder and said, "Old Ji, don't think too much. Big Brother is a genius. Countless people have been defeated by him in his life. Aren't we also defeated by him? Don't tell me that our strength hasn't improved? Haha, this depends on whether you have the confidence. As long as your heart is firm, it's not impossible for you to ascend. "
Ji Wuming let out a long breath. He turned to White Tiger's Might and said, "Vice Leader, how did you deal with your inner demons after you were defeated by the Leader? If you can't overcome your inner demons, your strength will never improve. "
White Tiger's Might looked at Ji Wuming and smiled, "Inner demons turn into spirits. You have a god in your heart, and your Dao is firm!"
Ji Wuming was stunned. Then his expression changed. He looked at White Tiger's Might and said, "Inner demons turn into spirits? You treat the Mansion Lord as a god in your heart? But if the Mansion Lord can't ascend, then your strength will never surpass the Mansion Lord's. You will have no hope of ascending in this life. "
Inner Demon Spirit Transformation was a very common method for cultivators, but it was also the method that cultivators didn't like to use the most. It was impossible for cultivators to have no enemies in their lives. When they fought against their enemies, they sometimes won and sometimes lost. If they won, they wouldn't have any inner demons. But if they lost, they would inevitably have inner demons. Some people could naturally overcome their inner demons and improve their cultivation. However, there was a precondition for all of this, and that was the cultivation level. If your cultivation level wasn't high enough, then the inner demons that arose after you lost would naturally be very weak. In this case, although the inner demons would affect your cultivation, it wouldn't cause too much of an impact. Your cultivation could still progress, and you could even speed up your cultivation. As long as you could defeat the person who defeated you, then the inner demons would naturally be dispelled.
But this is for Cultivators with relatively weak cultivation. Once your cultivation reaches the Teleportation Realm, then the inner demons that arise after you lose will be very strong. This will affect your cultivation, and your cultivation speed will become very slow. Unless you defeat or kill the person who defeated you, it's almost impossible for you to advance to the next level.
If you reach the Vajra Realm, then it's even more so. Take Ji Wuming for example. Not only was he defeated by Zhao Hai, but he also made a Great Inner Demon Oath to Zhao Hai, becoming Zhao Hai's servant for the rest of his life. In this case, it's even more difficult for Cultivators to advance. All of this is because of the Great Inner Demon Oath, which makes your inner demons incomparably strong. Naturally, you won't be able to overcome your inner demons and advance your cultivation.
In Ji Wuming's case, there are only two ways to improve his strength. One is to kill Zhao Hai. If he can kill Zhao Hai, then his inner demons will disappear and he can continue to cultivate.
