Life is like a drama, it all depends on one's acting skills. This saying is both right and wrong.
In this world, strength was the only thing that mattered. However, in a situation like today, acting skills were the only thing that mattered.
If Ling Xian's acting wasn't so realistic, he wouldn't be able to keep his life, let alone get the Grass of the Netherworld.
"Phew … It wasn't easy."
Ling Xian exhaled deeply. His entire body was soaked, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
It couldn't be helped, the pressure was too great, and the slightest carelessness would lead to eternal damnation.
Therefore, even with his mentality, he broke out in cold sweat.
Fortunately, his performance was perfect, and he successfully stabilized the Demon Sect's leader.
However, the crisis had yet to be resolved.
Ling Xian still had to face a test. If he passes, he will gain the allegiance of the entire demonic house. But if he is exposed, he will die.
The latter was undoubtedly more likely than the former. As long as the master of the Demon Sect really had a way, he, a fake otherworldly demon, would definitely not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, Ling Xian frowned and wondered if he should run away or not.
In the end, he decided to stay, not because he was greedy, but because he couldn't leave.
It could be imagined that the Demon Sect Master must have sent a large number of troops to surround this peak. In fact, this person might even be monitoring this place personally.
Under these circumstances, no matter how strong Ling Xian was, it would be difficult for him to leave.
Moreover, even if he could escape, he wouldn't be able to resolve the crisis. As long as the Demon Sect Master spread the news that he was an Otherworldly Demon, there would be no place for him in the entire Black Tortoise Continent.
"I have no choice but to take it one step at a time." Ling Xian softly sighed, somewhat bitter.
In order to stabilize the Demon Sect Master, he had sacrificed too much, and it could be said that he had fallen into a dangerous situation.
However, when the Saintess arrived with the Great Sun Netherworld Herb and the Ancient Buddha Relic, all the sacrifices were worth it.
Ling Xian revealed a smile. Looking at the half-gold, half-black heavenly grass, his eyes were full of heat.
The conditions for the Great Sun Nether Herb to grow were extremely harsh, even more so than the Yin Yang Dao Integration Flower. Even if one flipped the entire Black Tortoise Continent upside down, they might not be able to find it.
Now that he had obtained the medicine with his acting skills, how could he not feel happy?
Besides, other than the Great Sun Nether Grass, there was also the priceless Ancient Buddha Sarira!
"It's worth it. Although I've fallen into danger because of this, if I can't get the Great Sun Netherworld Grass, I'll still die."
Ling Xian whispered to himself. He walked up and smiled, "Thank you, saintess."
"Senior's words make me feel ashamed."
The Saintess was embarrassed and said, "I didn't help much, but instead put Senior in danger. Fortunately, you proved your identity."
At this point, her eyes revealed her curiosity as she stared at Ling Xian.
The Leader of the Demonic House didn't tell her the details. He only said that after confirming Ling Xian's identity, he wanted her to bring him the Grass of the Netherworld and the ancient Buddha's relic.
"It's not your fault. There's no need to blame yourself."
Ling Xian brandished his hand. Flapping around his sleeve, the Grass of the Underworld and the Buddha's relic levitated into midair. Both were blinding with heavenly light and spiritual energy.
This was especially true for the latter, which allowed one to release the ability to calm one's heart. If one were to cultivate in such a state, one's efficiency would undoubtedly increase by several folds.
Therefore, Ling Xian was truly happy and felt like this trip was worth it.
"The conditions for the birth of the Grass of the Underworld are extremely harsh. If it weren't for the fact that an elder of the Demonic House luckily acquired a three-legged golden crow, this medicine wouldn't have been born." The saintess exclaimed.
"Three-legged golden crow? I see. "Ling Xian understood now.
The three-legged golden crow was an ancient heavenly beast that did not pale next to a real phoenix. The best of them could even transform into the Sun.
Thinking about it, the elder of the Demonic House had the three-legged golden crow transform into the Sun and illuminate the abyss for a thousand years. That was how the Grass of the Underworld was born.
"Oh right, the Headmaster told me to tell you that in two years, he wants you to participate in the ceremony." The saintess smiled brightly.
"Ceremony?" Ling Xian's heart dropped. He guessed that this was the test the Leader of the Demonic House was talking about.
"That's right." The saintess nodded but didn't elaborate.
This made Ling Xian frown and fall into deep thought.
It was obvious that this was the method the Leader of the Demonic House was talking about. In other words, he only had two years left.
"I won't disturb you any longer. If you need anything, you can find me at the Peak of the Saintess." The saintess bowed and left.
"What kind of ceremony is it that can test whether or not I am a demon from the outside world. Could it be …" Ling Xian connected the dots and his expression changed.
If what he guessed was true, then he would without a doubt die if he stayed.
Immediately, the space between Ling Xian's brows began to emit light. Then, his expression darkened.
Sure enough, as he expected, there were guards in a radius of a hundred miles, surrounding the peak so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
Other than the guards, there were also many seventh leveled cultivators' Qi that were watching over this place.
This meant Ling Xian only had two paths to walk. He could either wait or he could force his way in.
The former could die, the latter could as well. The chances of him dying were much higher than the former.
There were far too many powerhouses in the Demonic House. Ignoring everything else, the Leader of the Demonic House alone was not someone Ling Xian could fight against.
"It looks like I can only sit and wait."
Ling Xian frowned. As much as he felt pressured, he was also curious.
He really wanted to see what the Demonic House was offering and whether or not it was as he guessed.
Even though this was playing with fire and he could burn himself if he wasn't careful, he had no other choice. He could only take it one step at a time.
"Fine, let's do it this way. There's always a way out. There will always be a turning point."
Ling Xian softly sighed and no longer thought about this. Instead, he focused on the Grass of the Netherworld.
Including this medicine, he already had four. He was only missing the Devious Burial Flower and the last two before he could complete the mission that nobody has completed in the past 500 years.
"The remaining three are even more difficult." Ling Xian sighed. His gaze turned determined.
No matter how difficult it is, he will not give up!
"I will wait patiently. Two years from now, everything will become clear."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself. Then, he sat in a lotus position and entered a state of enlightenment.
More accurately speaking, he was entering his own world.
Back then, he created his own world and created his own world.
Now that he had broken through to the seventh level, the world inside his body had changed drastically.
The sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, everything was becoming more and more real. However, this world was still in its embryonic form and was lacking far too much.
The most important thing was spiritual energy. Without spiritual energy, living beings cannot be born.
Without living beings, it cannot become a real world.
However, Ling Xian still felt proud.
In the entire universe, since the beginning of time, how many people could create their own world and create their own world?
They could be counted on one hand!
And he was one of them. This was a gargantuan achievement, a gargantuan honor!
"This is my world, my territory."
Ling Xian stared at the moon, the sun, the stars, the mountains, and the rivers. Other than feeling proud, he also made up his mind.
One day, he will transform this world into a real Heaven and Earth!
When that time comes, he will be the ruler of Heaven and Earth!
But that day was destined to be far away.
"I will plant the Phoenix Tree here. After it matures, I will find a place to plant it and attract real phoenixes."
Ling Xian grinned and took out the Phoenix Tree.
