I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

"However, it seems that it only took half a day for Madam Wei to destroy the 'Liu Clan Immortal City'?" Wei Tu flew to the ruins of the 'Liu Clan Immortal City' and pondered to himself after observing the remaining magical energy within.

This half-day was precisely the time it took for Ruan Shui'er to digest the fragments of her soul and awaken.

Without a doubt, Madam Wei, the mastermind behind it all, must have fled from the Cloud Mist Desert to this place after realizing that he was no match for her, and then destroyed the entire Liu Clan Immortal City.

During this time, the woman wasted not a moment!
But precisely because of this, Wei Tu's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

There's no other reason than that, given his speed, if he were to rush to that place at full speed, he should have a good chance of intercepting Madam Wei in the 'Black Cloud Small World' before she returns to the Heavenly Demon Realm.

This place was also another way for him to reach the Heavenly Demon Realm, which he had found from Yu Linzi's divine memories.

This method—different from the official teleportation channel that Chief Chai previously used to lead cultivators from the 'Black Cloud Minor Realm' to the 'Heavenly Demon Realm'—was discovered by the 'Shangyang Clan' behind Madam Wei, who spent tens of thousands of hours exploring the 'Black Cloud Minor Realm' to find a 'spatial node' between the two realms leading to the 'Heavenly Demon Realm'.

Therefore, Chief Chai, inside the 'Reincarnation Cave,' was completely unprepared for the sudden arrival of 'Madam Wei,' and belatedly realized that Yu Linzi might have other accomplices...

If nothing unexpected happens, the Shangyang clan should only be able to find one 'spatial node' that allows them to travel between the two worlds, since this clan is not a legitimate powerful clan like the Heavenly Demon Realm that has Mahayana immortals.

Having thought this through, Wei Tu didn't hesitate. He narrowed his eyes, bit his tongue, and activated his Blood Escape power, heading towards the 'spatial node' in Yu Linzi's soul memory.

However, several days later, when he finally arrived at this 'spatial node', he was greatly disappointed by what he saw.

Along the way, he did not encounter any trace of 'Madam Wei', as if she was not in a hurry to return to 'Heavenly Demon Realm' as he had thought.

"With Blood Escape and the 'Seven Mystic Demonic Body,' my escape speed is comparable to that of a half-step Mahayana cultivator... A mere half-day difference shouldn't be difficult to catch up with Madam Wei... But I haven't seen her along the way, could it be..."

Wei Tu frowned inwardly. By this point, he could easily understand that Madam Wei was much smarter than he had imagined.

It wasn't just the ruthless slaughter of the 'Nine Serpents Liu Clan'!

When he escaped from the 'Reincarnation Cave,' he had already guessed that Yu Linzi would have little chance of survival, which is why he made a ruthless move to seize the accumulated wealth of the 'Nine Serpents Willow Clan,' a combined family. So, naturally, in order to deal with the pursuit of this 'unfamiliar powerhouse,' he could not obediently escape through this 'spatial node' as he had imagined.

At present, he is most likely hiding his identity within the 'Black Cloud Minor World' to avoid the limelight.

"Well then, since that's the case, there's no need to keep chasing after this woman..." After thinking for a moment, Wei Tu shook his head and let go of the sliver of greed in his heart.

This wasn't because he was 'forgiving,' but rather because the benefits of continuing to hunt down this woman were disproportionate to the time he wasted.

Although the 'Black Cloud Minor Realm' is called a 'minor realm', it is still a vast realm. If he were to search alone like a headless fly, even if it took a hundred years, he would probably find it difficult to find the specific trace of Madam Wei, a powerful expert of the same realm, in this vast sea of ​​people.

Secondly, the 'Black Cloud Minor Realm' is not a closed interface. If he does something too outrageous and attracts the attention of the immortals of the Heavenly Demon Realm, it will be very disadvantageous to him.

Ultimately, there wasn't much of the "treasure" this woman possessed that he was particularly interested in.

This is the same reason why Yu Linzi gave up on pursuing Chief Chai... Now he is almost the same as Yu Linzi, and he has accumulated enough opportunities to break through to the 'Great Ascension Realm'. There is no need for him to take any more risks for this matter.

"Let's go back to the Heavenly Demon Realm first."

Once this thought arose, Wei Tu didn't waste any more time. He raised his hand and tore open the 'void' in front of him. After finding the location of the 'spatial node' in the memory of the Jade Unicorn, he flew into it without hesitation.

Speechless all the way.

More than ten days later, Wei Tu successfully returned to the Heavenly Demon Realm and once again arrived at the spiritless place where the 'Silver-White Stone Tablet' was kept—the 'Lost Forest' of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

However, upon arriving at this place, he did not immediately use the 'interdimensional teleportation array' to tear open space and travel to another realm.

After all, the 'Spirit Realm' and the 'Black Cloud Minor Realm' which is adjacent to the Heavenly Demon Realm are very different. Relying solely on the teleportation distance of this 'Silver-White Stone Tablet' is far from enough to reach the 'Spirit Realm'.

However, Satellite has other solutions for this 'distance restriction'.

—The 'Heavenly Demon Realm' is not an isolated realm; it is also adjacent to the 'Five Minor Realms' of the Ancient Demon Realm.

Back in the 'Shengguang Realm', Island Master Ye used the 'Blood Refining Ground' of the Shengguang Realm to cross over to the 'Heavenly Demon Realm', whereupon he was taken in as a spirit servant by Luqiu Qingfeng.

Now that he is in this realm, he can also use this method to first go to the 'Zichen Realm' which is adjacent to the Heavenly Demon Realm, and then take the interdimensional teleportation array carried by the 'Silver White Stone Tablet' from this realm to return to the Spirit Realm.

The conditions for using the 'Blood Refining Grounds' set up by the Heavenly Demon Realm in various realms were not as harsh as imagined, at least not for him... all that was needed was the permission of the major clans of the Heavenly Demon Realm or the higher-ups of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Over the years, many disciples of the Heavenly Demon Palace have used this method to travel to other realms in search of opportunities.

“Now that a century has passed, my cultivation level within the Heavenly Demon Palace can be improved further…” Wei Tu’s eyes flickered slightly as he gradually finalized his plan in his mind.

……

This return to the 'Heavenly Demon Palace' did not attract much attention from other cultivators, just like before.

Only the cultivators of the 'Nine Serpents Willow Clan' paid attention to Wei Tu and were greatly surprised.

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul? This cultivator has only been in the Heavenly Demon Realm for a few years..." Such exclamations of surprise kept appearing in the divine sense transmissions among the Nine Serpents Liu Clan members.

If Wei Tu's previous aptitude was at the bottom among the ascended cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Palace, and he had no value for cultivation, then...

But now, its speed of breakthrough is undoubtedly among the top in its time.

The contrast between the initial downturn and the subsequent rise will surely surprise people.

To Wei Tu's surprise, this time the members of the 'Nine Serpents Willow Clan' did not openly show any indifference towards him. Instead, several of the clan elders sent him talismanic messages, inviting him to meet.

"Is it... related to the 'extermination of the Nine Serpents Liu Clan' in the lower realm?" Wei Tu's eyes flickered slightly, and he had a guess about this.

Although the 'Black Cloud Minor Realm' and the 'Heavenly Demon Realm' are separated by an interface, as the subordinate interface of the 'Heavenly Demon Realm', news from this realm can easily reach the Heavenly Demon Realm... not to mention that this is a major event related to the extermination of the 'Nine Serpents Willow Clan', a powerful combined clan.

As expected, after Wei Tu agreed to keep the appointment...

The topic that these elders of the 'Nine Serpents Willow Clan' brought up was related to this matter.

"Our clan's 'Liu Clan Immortal City' was destroyed by a mysterious entity for unknown reasons... Even the 'Deer Mountain Dojo' fell victim to this cultivator's wickedness... Currently, the Feather Saint Sect and other major clans of the 'Black Cloud Minor World' are joining forces to investigate this matter..."

"And our clan's 'Jade Unicorn' senior and ancestor also seemed to have suddenly perished for some reason."

The elders sighed softly and said in a sorrowful voice.

Unbeknownst to them, the murderer who killed Yu Linzi and the old woman with snake scales was none other than Wei Tu, and the extermination of their clan was also inseparable from Wei Tu.

"This..." Upon hearing this, Wei Tu remained silent, without any schadenfreude in his heart.

He had no grudges against this clan, and although the clan chief Liu had once harbored ill intentions towards him... his help to him was genuine.

After leaving the Cloud Mist Desert, although he also wanted to go to this clan to retrieve its treasures, he never imagined that he would be as ruthless as Madam Wei, directly slaughtering the entire 'Nine Serpents Willow Clan' of cultivators.

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.

However, if given another chance, Wei Tu believed he would still choose to lurk near the 'Reincarnation Cave', seize the opportunity to attack Yu Linzi, and kill the old woman with snake scales who wanted to possess his body.

In short, the 'treasure' is truly captivating!

Moreover, it is a rare and precious material that can help cultivators break through to the Mahayana realm.

Given that Yu Linzi and the Snake-Scale Old Woman were not good people, he wouldn't mind playing the villain.

Moreover, if he hadn't been a 'Fusion Realm expert' this time, he probably would have ended up like the bloodline cultivators of the Deer Mountain Dojo, falling victim to Yu Linzi's schemes and meeting his end under Madam Wei's blade.

"If I succeed in my cultivation, I will never let the murderer who slaughtered my clan go..." Wei Tu narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath as he made his statement.

These words also came from his true feelings.

If given the chance, he wouldn't mind killing Madam Wei, the murderer who annihilated the Deer Mountain Dojo and the Nine-Snake Liu Clan.

This is neither hatred nor self-interest, but simply a conclusion to the cause and effect between him and the 'Nine-Snake Liu Clan'.

And coincidentally, Madam Wei was among those he could kill at will!
As soon as these words fell.

The elders of the Nine Serpents Liu Clan breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles returned to their faces.

Their futures are set, and they will never have the hope of ever getting together.

As for Wei Tu, although it seems that his chances of breaking through to the Fusion Realm are not high, after all, there is a huge gap between the Nascent Soul Realm and the Fusion Realm... but his advantage is that he is young, which gives him a better chance than them.

Without pinning their hopes on Wei Tu, they have little chance of turning the tide.

"We old folks have no hope of revenge; we can only hope that you youngsters will strive hard and make a difference in the future..."

"However, right now, we old folks can also do some things for you youngsters..."

After exchanging glances, the elders of the Nine Serpents Liu Clan spoke these words, indicating that Wei Tu could make some demands on them and ask for some treasures.

This can be considered a form of 'support' for the younger generation, Wei Tu.

This scene, though somewhat tragic at its core, still left Wei Tu speechless. With his experience, he could easily understand that without the great upheaval in the lower realm, these elders of the 'Nine Serpents Willow Clan' would not be so easy to talk to now.

"If possible, I would like to travel to other realms... After all, the identity of the murderer who slaughtered my clan is still unknown. If he is a powerful being in the Heavenly Demon Realm, then my life..."

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu immediately realized that this was a great opportunity for him to leave the 'Heavenly Demon Realm'.

He carefully considered his words and immediately followed up on the previous topic, expressing his deep concern.

These words instantly made the elders of the Nine Serpents Liu Clan's expressions turn serious, realizing that what Wei Tu said was not an exaggeration.

Putting themselves in their shoes, if they were the mysterious entity that annihilated the 'Nine Serpents Liu Clan,' would they sit idly by and watch their remaining branch of the 'Nine Serpents Liu Clan' continue to live?

Although Wei Tu's words now reveal a hint of wanting to escape... the cultivation world has never had the custom of 'throwing eggs against rocks'.

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be firewood.

Given time, if Wei Tu were to reach the Integration Realm and gain the power to deal with the murderer, even if not to avenge the 'Nine Serpents Liu Clan,' he would certainly hunt down the murderer and eliminate this future threat for his own safety...

“What you say makes sense. Although the ‘Heavenly Demon Palace’ is safe, it is indeed not advisable to stay there for long…” After a moment, the elders of the ‘Nine Serpents Willow Clan’ agreed with Wei Tu’s opinion.

"There's no time to lose. Now, you will leave this 'Heavenly Demon Palace' with me and go to another realm..."

The leader of the Nine Serpents Liu Clan was swift and decisive. After learning that Wei Tu had no other important business in the 'Heavenly Demon Realm', he immediately grabbed Wei Tu's shoulder and led him away from the cave, heading straight for the 'Blood Refining Hall' of the Heavenly Demon Palace, which led to other realms.

This hall is the central array connecting the 'Heavenly Demon Realm' to the 'Blood Refining Land' of other realms.

Apart from the higher-ups of the Heavenly Demon Palace, it is difficult for other cultivators to enter.

Although the elder of the 'Nine Serpents Liu Clan' was only at the Refinement of Void Realm, he was still a high-ranking member of the Heavenly Demon Palace and naturally had the authority to use this palace to travel to other realms.

"It went so smoothly?" Upon arriving at the 'Blood Refining Hall', Wei Tu couldn't help but feel a bit strange when he saw the teleportation arrays leading to other realms.

You should know that he had come up with many ways to bribe the higher-ups of the Heavenly Demon Palace before returning to the palace, in order to gain the opportunity to use the 'Blood Refining Hall'!

Unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, this surviving member of the 'Nine Serpents Liu Clan' directly helped him accomplish this task.

"It seems... that once we return to the Heavenly Demon Realm, we will have no choice but to kill Madam Wei." Wei Tu shook his head inwardly, feeling indebted to 'Nine Serpents Liu Clan' for this favor.

Next, Wei Tu, who had entered the Blood Refining Hall, did not hesitate. Under the watchful eyes of the elders of the Nine Serpents Liu Clan, he directly ascended the array platform bearing the words "Purple Imperial Realm".

The elders of the Nine Serpents Willow Clan did not have much doubt about Wei Tu's choice, assuming that Wei Tu had made a random selection.

He nodded, took a storage bag from his waist, tossed it to Wei Tu without a word, and immediately activated the array within the hall, sending Wei Tu away from the 'Heavenly Demon Realm'. (End of Chapter)
