I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

"Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor?" Wei Tu was startled, and he vaguely guessed the source of this cultivator's divine sense.

There's no other reason than that within this little-known 'Slaying Netherworld,' it's extremely difficult for any 'third party' to exist besides Old Ghost Pei and Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor.

The various "abnormalities" of the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor within this "Slaying Netherworld" undoubtedly prove that his "authority" within this Slaying Netherworld is far superior to that of "intruders" like Old Ghost Pei.

"Immortal Jin Cheng... the Severing Realm and Severing Platform, which seem to be the work of an immortal..."

"Is this woman, like Old Ghost Pei, an 'intruder' who entered this realm even earlier... or is she connected to the immortals who created this realm?"

Wei Tu took a deep look at the 'True Immortal Soul' that had fallen on Black Mountain and torn a corner of the Execution Platform's scenery. At that moment, his thoughts surged and he had countless guesses about it.

If he hasn't admitted his mistake.

This wisp of a true immortal's soul, hidden deep within the Black Mountain and resembling a state of suspended animation, is none other than the "Immortal Jin Cheng," who descended to the mortal realm with the Old Ancestor of Secretly More than two hundred thousand years ago...

Its aura and appearance were identical to the remnant soul of a true immortal that he had glimpsed in the Feathered Dragon Clan's "Ancient Feathered Immortal Land" back then.

The only difference is that the 'True Immortal Remnant Soul' was headless and footless, while this wisp of 'True Immortal Soul' was much more complete... but in terms of power, it was far inferior to the 'True Immortal Remnant Soul' trapped in that 'Heavenly Prison'.

At the same time, Wei Tu's mind raced.

A faint voice finally spoke at this moment.

"Such bizarre methods, is it life force? A life cultivator at the Hidden Life Realm? I never imagined... that after the Demon Ancestor Garan, someone in this cultivation world would once again reach this realm of life cultivation..."

The sound was like a silver bell, clear and melodious, and it was the voice of the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor.

Immediately afterwards, a beautiful figure dressed in a plain-colored dress appeared on the 'Execution Platform'.

Her face was as beautiful as ever, even more radiant and captivating than the 'Demon Ancestor's Soul' that Wei Tu had glimpsed in the 'Blood Pool' of the Rebirth Realm.

Only those clear eyes were deep and cold, like a dark spring that never sees the sun, chilling to the bone.

Upon seeing this, Wei Tu frowned slightly, realizing that this was because the woman had suppressed her murderous intent after realizing that this 'secret' she had kept hidden for many years was now at risk of being exposed.

If he hadn't possessed this woman's 'life'...

If it weren't for his formidable record of slaying 'Old Ghost Pei'...

At this moment, this woman probably couldn't resist making a move.

"It seems that Senior Sister Qibao is indeed no ordinary person, just as I expected. Her multiple reincarnations... are all for the purpose of seizing greater opportunities, not just for the purpose of transcending the tribulation realm..."

A moment later, while releasing his vast divine sense to warn of his surroundings, Wei Tu also spoke these words in a detached tone.

"Senior Sister Qibao?" Upon hearing this, Qibao Demon Ancestor, who was standing on the Execution Platform, frowned and showed a hint of surprise.

This is not just because she suddenly gained Wei Tu as a 'cheap junior brother'.

Even more surprising was the underlying meaning of Wei Tu's words.

Its meaning is not only to imply a desire for peace, but also to temporarily set aside the "fate of immortality" and not to pursue it further.

That was the real surprise for her.

How many ordinary cultivators could resist being tempted when faced with a 'fate for immortality' laid out before them?

Moreover, Wei Tu at this moment seems to actually possess the formidable strength to satisfy this greed.

"Junior Brother Wei is indeed a clever person..."

After a short while, Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor, who had been deep in thought, seemed to have thought of something and immediately restrained his killing intent.

Following that, her clear eyes also became more peaceful, no longer cold and icy.

But the atmosphere became quiet for a moment.

Until the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor spoke again, continuing to extend goodwill.

"However, I advise Junior Brother Wei to give up the idea of ​​trying to find out my background as soon as possible... This 'destiny for immortality' is not something Junior Brother Wei can covet..." Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor coldly warned.

However, Wei Tu didn't take these words to heart.

Since the 'Bao Ri Divine Tower' obtained the 'one-life body' of the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor, it has been equivalent to holding this woman's 'lifeline' in his hands... As long as he doesn't cross the final line, this woman won't make things too difficult for him.

Not to mention, his current strength is no longer something that the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor can underestimate.

At present, his expression of reluctance to stop is more out of fear of the dangers within the 'Execution Platform'... not because he is so afraid of the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor, a demon ancestor of the same realm.

I just didn't want things to get out of hand.

“I will stop today, but hundreds of years later, thousands of years later… the next time I enter this ‘Slaying Netherworld’, I may not be able to leave so easily again…” Wei Tu said calmly, making the matter clear.

As soon as he said this...

The Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's divine soul, floating on the 'Execution Platform,' froze instantly.

Clearly, she understood the meaning behind Wei Tu's threat.

Today, Wei Tu is merely a Mahayana cultivator and dares not risk entering these clusters of black mountains, nor come to this 'Execution Platform' that seems to have been created by immortals...

But what about the future? What about a thousand years from now?

The satellite imagery of that time may not still be at its current level!

Even though she harbored deep resentment towards her old enemy Wei Tu, she had to admit that in this 'life', Wei Tu was indeed the most likely candidate among countless cultivators to become a Tribulation Transcending Immortal!
Therefore, its meaning is already quite clear.

She told Wei Tu the secrets contained in the 'Execution Platform', and that he would remember her 'kindness' when he succeeded in attaining enlightenment... But if he refused, although Wei Tu might not necessarily regard her as a mortal enemy in the future, he would definitely not help her too much.

Every act of kindness and affection has its predetermined fate!

"Is Junior Brother Wei threatening me?" Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor narrowed his eyes and asked bluntly.

It seems that within this 'Slaying Netherworld' and the Slaying Platform, there is ample confidence to deal with Wei Tu.

However, seeing this, Wei Tu was not in a hurry and immediately uttered four words with his lips slightly moving.

"what?"

"Stealing from the Ancestor?"

"This demon has actually been born?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's pretty face changed instantly, and a hint of fear appeared in her eyes.

It was as if this taboo name was equivalent to a 'natural enemy' that could take his life.

"It seems I wasn't wrong. Senior Sister Qibao also has close ties with immortals from the upper realms like Immortal Jin Cheng and Old Ancestor Tou Tou, and they are suspected to be enemies..."

"However, given Senior Sister Qibao's lifespan, it seems difficult for her to have any connection with these immortals from the upper realm who suddenly descended to the mortal world..."

Wei Tu's eyes flashed, and he continued calmly.

This conjecture was not just a wild guess.

He had long suspected why the Old Ancestor had appeared near the leader of the Three Lives Immortal Sect...

Subsequently, although the Old Ancestor of Stealth managed to brush it off with the excuse of 'multiple boundary seas', after the Old Ancestor of Stealth's 'defection', he would no longer easily believe what the demon rat had said before.

Ironically, the only one who could be associated with the 'Demon Immortal' among the leaders of the Three Lives Immortal Sect seems to be the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor, who intends to seize the inheritance of the 'Demon Immortal Marrow Sea'...

The two are from the same school!

……

as predicted.

Wei Tu's words seemed to have struck at the heart of the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor.

Immediately afterward, the woman's expression shifted between light and dark for a moment before she finally relented.

However, just as the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor was about to speak, Wei Tu suddenly turned cold and his words became extremely indifferent.

"At this moment, I hope that Senior Sister Qibao will be careful with her words... As for that Old Ancestor, I have had many dealings with this demon. Today, even if Senior Sister Qibao is lucky enough to deceive me for a while, she will not be able to deceive me forever!"

Wei Tu issued a direct warning.

As soon as he said this...

Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's pretty face stiffened slightly again, clearly understanding the meaning behind Wei Tu's words.

After Wei Tu and the old ancestor secretly exchanged information, the space left for her to be deceived was already very small.

Besides, even if she succeeded in deceiving Wei Tu this time.

When Wei Tuzheng passes his tribulation in the future, this deception could very well 'bring' into a murderous plot against her.

"It's been millions of years, millions of years..."

"Junior Brother Wei is the only one who has forced me into such a predicament."

Inside the Execution Platform, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor, gazing into the distance and giving Wei Tu's true form a deep look, spoke in a low, melancholic tone.

It seemed that her experience of being killed by various demon gods in her 'reincarnation' during this period was insignificant to her... or perhaps, far less significant than Wei Tu's 'coercion' at this moment.

But then...

As if opening a floodgate, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor began to speak on his own.

“I do not know the immortals of the Seventh Mountain... I have never heard of the Golden Immortal or the Old Ancestor of Stealing before.”

"If there is any connection, it is this 'Slaying Netherworld'... This place is where the immortals of the 'Seventh Mountain' collect 'Immortal Souls'."

"Fellow Daoist Wei is also an ascendant, so he should know that cultivators in the lower realms are not entirely incomparable to those in the upper realms. On the contrary, those cultivators who have the potential to ascend are often among the most talented in the various upper realms..."

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu, who was standing near the clusters of black mountains in the 'Slaying Netherworld', nodded secretly.

Back then, he ascended from the human realm to the 'spirit realm'. After joining the Qingling Sect of the human race, he immediately became a 'refining seed' of the sect and enjoyed the resource support provided by the Qingling Sect.

Not to mention, long before Jiang Lingzi descended to the mortal realm, he had already reserved a spot for him in the 'Hall of Human Ancestors' of the human race...

"But... what if some cultivators from higher sects don't want these ascended cultivators and only want to strip them of their qualifications?"

At this point, a cold smile appeared on the lips of the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor.

This statement came out.

Instantly, even though Wei Tu was well-prepared, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

At this moment, he finally understood why the 'Six-Armed Evil Immortal' was obsessed with the 'Immortal Bones' that had better aptitude!

His gifts to Old Man Pei
Ultimately, this is closely related to the design of the 'Slaying Netherworld' – all aimed at extracting and stripping away as much of the aptitude and potential of the 'ascending cultivators' in this cultivation world as possible.

"If that's the case, then... the Bridge to Immortality?" Wei Tu felt a chill in his heart and immediately began to speculate about the 'breakage' of the bridge.

At this moment, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor seemed to have guessed Wei Tu's thoughts.

He nodded slightly in affirmation, saying, "That's right! The bridge to immortality in this cultivation world was severed after the immortals of the Seventh Mountain created this 'Severing Netherworld'..."

"Therefore, for cultivators in this cultivation world, the only way to escape from this realm and ascend to the 'Seventh Mountain' is to obtain the [Holy Edict Golden Words] held by those 'Immortal Envoys'..."

"【Imperial Edict】?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tu raised an eyebrow and memorized the name of this precious treasure.

If nothing unexpected happens, this treasure should still be in the hands of that 'True Immortal Remnant Soul'... Otherwise, at this time, Ancestor Ao and others would not be focusing on the 'Two Realms War' and seeking the 'Demon Immortal Inheritance', but would have already been preparing for ascension.

"But... if this 'Slaying Netherworld' is the work of immortals, how did Senior Sister Qibao enter this world, and... 'slay' the wisp of 'True Immortal Soul' that Jin Cheng Shangxian had escaped into this place?"

Wei Tu frowned and glanced at the wisp of remnant soul belonging to 'Immortal Jin Cheng' hidden deep in the Black Mountain.

However, at this moment, the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor did not keep anyone in suspense.

Seemingly surprised that Wei Tu recognized this wisp of 'True Immortal Soul' as belonging to Immortal Jin Cheng, he explained succinctly:

“Cultivators from the lower realms have never even heard of the ‘Slaying Netherworld,’ so naturally they cannot enter this ‘Slaying Platform’… But what about ‘Immortal Descendants’?”

"A descendant of immortals?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tu was immediately startled, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

Immortal descendants, without a doubt, belong to the 'offspring of true immortals'.

However... since the 'Seventh Mountain' faction, to which Immortal Jin Cheng belongs, has chosen to sever the 'Bridge to Immortality' and construct the 'Netherworld Severing Realm' in this cultivation world to strip away 'Immortal Souls'...

How could he possibly give birth to his offspring in this 'prison' where he will never see the light of day?
"No! This cultivation world... is not only home to 'Immortals' like Jin Cheng, there is also a Demon Immortal!"

Wei Tu narrowed his eyes, his mind already subtly connecting the clues he had gathered.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the construction of this 'Slaying Netherworld'... will probably require extraordinary spiritual materials, and it is very likely that it will also require a Demon Immortal!" He took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.

This cultivation world, or the 'new world,' according to the records of various races, was originally the realm where the great true spirits existed. It gradually evolved into its present form after the 'old world' forces moved in.

However, if that were the case, how could the ancient demon realm, which was completely different from spiritual cultivators and even regarded spiritual cultivators as 'raw food', have been allowed to exist when all races were at their peak?
This history has been lost to the vast expanse of time.

But now it seems that this history has been deliberately erased.

The masterminds behind this are these 'immortals from the upper realm'.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Wei already knows of the existence of that demonic immortal..."

"Indeed, the Execution Platform, the Execution Platform... In this cultivation world, who are the 'immortals' that have been slain by the Execution Platform?"

The Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor sighed softly. (End of Chapter)
