"Sister, how many years have you been cultivating?"
"I've been cultivating for more than ten thousand years."
"It's not bad to have your level of cultivation after ten thousand years of cultivation on the path of demons."
Demons were different from humans.
If a human was talented and lucky, it was easy for them to become an immortal. After becoming an immortal, if they had good fortune, it wouldn't be hard for them to grow.
Demons, on the other hand, needed a long period of time to grow.
The demons in the Quicksand Secret Realm couldn't even be considered demons. At best, they could only be considered demon beasts.
Only after their minds had been enlightened could they be considered demons.
Even if their minds had been enlightened, demon cultivation was an extremely long process.
For example, Gu Tong was also a spirit demon, but Gu Qingfeng could tell that this old demon had cultivated for at least a hundred thousand years.
As for Bai Yanyan, it was definitely something to be proud of to be able to step into the Intricate Spirit Communication realm and become a Spirit Demon in just ten thousand years. Not to mention the Demon Dao, even in the Immortal Dao, it was very difficult to become a Spirit Immortal in ten thousand years.
For example, Zi Jin and Zi Qing had cultivated for ten thousand years and had been in seclusion. However, they were only Seven Luminaries Golden Sun Immortals. If they wanted to reach the Spiritually Attuned realm, they would need to cultivate to the Perfected Nine Luminaries. Although the difference between the Seven Luminaries and Nine Luminaries was only two luminaries, it was just a matter of appearance. Cultivation wasn't the same. Even if one cultivated to the Perfected Nine Luminaries, whether they could reach the Spiritually Attuned realm was still an unknown.
In the great wilderness, a small realm like the First Glory could stop many immortals from advancing for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years. Great realms like the Golden Immortal and Spirit Immortal realms could be stopped for tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years. This was not a rare occurrence in the great wilderness.
"Thank you for your praise, Esteemed Lord. My sister and I have our current cultivation levels all thanks to our master's guidance."
"I was wondering why you were taught by an expert." Gu Qingfeng asked with interest, "To be able to teach such a pair of Spirit Demons like you, your master must be an almighty."
"My master, Abbess Shuiyue, isn't a mighty figure. She's just a Buddhist who's seen through the world of mortals and lives in seclusion here."
"Your master is a nun?"
Gu Qingfeng was surprised. To be honest, he had seen many monks in his life, but he had never seen a nun before. He asked, "Is your master also living in seclusion in this Quicksand Secret World?"
"Yes."
"I'll definitely pay him a visit when I have time."
"Esteemed Lord, after chatting for so long, I still don't know your name."
"My Daoist name is Chi Xiao."
"So it's Master Chi Xiao."
"Why are you calling me Lord? You're treating me like an outsider. Just call me Master."
"This … Alright, Master Chi Xiao."
In the vast wilderness, be it demons or immortals, almost all of them had their own Daoist names. Moreover, they usually used Daoist names when they traveled outside. Even when they were conferred titles by the Great Dao, they were conferred Daoist names.
Upon hearing that Gu Qingfeng's Daoist name was Chi Xiao, both Bai Yanyan and Gu Qingfeng pondered for a moment. This was the first time Lord Ma, Zi Jin, and Zi Qing had heard of Gu Qingfeng's Daoist name. They also pondered for a moment, searching their minds for any information related to the Daoist name Chi Xiao.
Unfortunately.
After much thought, the only impression they had of the Daoist name Chi Xiao was that of the famous Nine Serenities.
Everyone knew that Emperor You, who had once turned the vast wilderness upside down in ancient times, had the Daoist name of Chi Xiao.
Other than that, they didn't seem to have any other impression of the Daoist name Chi Xiao.
However, none of them thought in this direction. After all, everyone knew that Emperor You had become the incarnation of original sin when the Modern Era had just begun. In the end, he sacrificed himself for the sake of all living beings, igniting the Fire of Original Sin and turning into ashes.
Just like that, Gu Qingfeng and Bai Yanyan chatted idly as they traveled through the Fire Cloud Chariot.
After an unknown period of time, they finally left the swamp under Gu Tong's lead. In front of them was a vast and barren sand dune, as well as many decayed cliffs and precipitous cliffs.
The natural environment here was even worse than the swamp. Fierce winds swept across the desert, turning into a sandstorm that roared wantonly like ferocious dragons.
Gu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes to take a look. He discovered that the natural environment of the sand dune could no longer be described as simply bad. It had completely collapsed. As soon as he arrived, he felt a mysterious and evil aura.
"What is this place?"
Gu Qingfeng asked.
"Master Chi Xiao, this is the Desert Demon Realm."
"Demon Realm? There are demonic creatures here? "
"Yes, and they are all abnormally terrifying."
Gu Qingfeng nodded. He could sense the evil aura of the Desert Demon Realm. Being enveloped by such an evil aura, it couldn't be more normal for demonic creatures to be born.
When Lord Ma heard that there were demonic creatures here, he couldn't help but tremble. Let alone him, even Zi Qing and Zi Jin's expressions changed when they heard that there were demonic creatures in the Desert Demon Realm.
This was because demonic creatures were much more terrifying than daemons. Most daemons were like humans, born generation after generation. However, demonic creatures were different. Demonic creatures were born naturally and didn't need to cultivate. They were born with extremely terrifying strength. Some powerful demonic creatures could kill daemons of the great wilderness as easily as squashing an ant.
Let alone Zi Qing and Zi Jin, even Gu Tong and Bai Yanyan were somewhat fearful of the demonic creatures in the Desert Demon Realm. They were old daemons of the swamp, so they knew very well just how terrifying the demonic creatures in the Desert Demon Realm were. Fortunately, there weren't many demonic creatures in the Desert Demon Realm. Under normal circumstances, they would only appear in the Desert Demon Realm and wouldn't go anywhere else.
Otherwise, the Quicksand Secret World would have been occupied by those demonic creatures long ago.
Gu Qingfeng looked for a while and asked, "How far is the One-Line Sky Forbidden Zone that you mentioned?"
"It's not far. It's just inside the Desert Demon Realm."
"Come, let's go take a look."
Gu Tong hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master Chi Xiao, the demonic creatures in the Quicksand Demon Realm are extremely terrifying. If we encounter some small demonic creatures, this one can still deal with them. However, if we encounter those old demonic creatures, this one is far from being a match for them …"
"With me here, what's there to be afraid of? It doesn't matter if they're small or old demonic creatures."
"This … alright."
Although Gu Tong didn't want to take the risk, he didn't dare to disobey Gu Qingfeng's orders due to how powerful he was. He could only grit his teeth and force himself to enter the Desert Demon Realm.
Fortunately, their luck wasn't bad and they didn't encounter any demonic creatures along the way. Soon, Gu Tong led Gu Qingfeng and the others to the One-Line Sky Forbidden Zone.
