I'm a demon cultivator

Chapter 61 Heavy Snow in August, Peach Blossoms Blooming in the Snow
The seven mountains, five peaks and thirteen water veins represent the twenty-five blessed places of the Jiawu Realm, and also represent the boundaries of the twenty-five states of the Jiawu Realm.

The place where snow is falling in August is Guanghan Prefecture.

Apart from the 17 states ruled by the Zixuan Dynasty, it was a standard outside world that was beyond the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

In Guanghan Province, there are no four seasons in a year, only winter.

Heavy snowfall is the norm in this land. When it is not snowing, it is like a sunny day in other regions. Such a place is undoubtedly not suitable for ordinary creatures to survive.

But fortunately, there are monks who are extremely proficient in the forbidden power of magic. They set up one formation after another here, borrowing the power of heaven and earth to fight against the weather, thus protecting the mortals here.

However, even with the protection of the formation, this place is still too cold and harsh.

Therefore, after the Zixuan Dynasty announced twenty years ago that any mortal from Guanghan Prefecture who could reach the border of Linzhou would be regarded as meritorious citizens of the Zixuan Dynasty and would be arranged to live in and rewarded with food and clothing for three years, the mortals from Guanghan Prefecture all tried to find ways to leave Guanghan Prefecture.

This also resulted in Guanghan Prefecture, which originally had some people living there, now being completely deserted.

"Fellow Daoist Tan, your father's conspiracy back then can be said to have brought Guanghan Province under the rule of the Zixuan Dynasty!" At this time, Tan Shuchang and Master Jian were walking on the clouds, and these words were spoken by Master Jian out of his feelings.

"It can't be considered an open conspiracy. In fact, this is also tacitly approved by Jinglong Dongtian in Guanghan Province." Tan Shuchang shook his head slightly. Jinglong Dongtian is the strongest immortal sect in Guanghan Province.

Although there are many immortal sects in Guanghan Province, they all follow the lead of Jinglong Dongtian.

No matter what decision Jinglong Dongtian made, the other immortal sects in Guanghanzhou would follow it unconditionally. Therefore, it would be impossible for the mortals in Guanghanzhou to leave so smoothly without Jinglong Dongtian's approval.

"Although mortals are a burden to the cultivators here, it shouldn't be to the point of being so serious, right?" Young Master Jian was a little surprised.

"Even Brother Dao doesn't know about this, so I don't know the details."

"I have never heard of it before, but it doesn't matter. I will go back and ask someone the reason... Here we are!" Master Jian said as he was about to descend from the clouds.

At this moment, within their field of vision, a large peach blossom forest suddenly appeared out of the vast expanse of white.

This is undoubtedly out of place in this icy and snowy land.

This is also the destination of Tan Shuchang and Master Jian. The place where the precious map of mountains and rivers leads Tan Shuchang is an uninhabited area.

Not only are there no practitioners here, but they are also extremely vicious.

Many of the relatively rare mountain and sea beasts in the Zixuan Dynasty are hiding in this endless ice and snow.

Therefore, based on the principle of saving people to the end, Master Jian collected cloud energy and brought Tan Shuchang to a treasure land he knew.

Tan Shuchang could actually come by himself, but since he could only capture evil spirits, not only would his journey be slow but his appearance would also be unsightly, looking like a thousand-year-old monster. So he simply accepted Master Jian's kindness.

However, before the clouds descended, a token on Young Master Jian's body suddenly flashed.

And Master Jian's expression also changed drastically.

"Fellow Daoist Tan, I can't send you there. I have to go back and put the Map of Mountains and Rivers away first!" Young Master Jian said hurriedly. The precious Map of Mountains and Rivers used to rescue Tan Shuchang was stolen by him and Dong Dong together.

Because Dong Dong's skills were not yet able to collect cloud energy, he stayed at Tianjian Mansion to keep watch. Young Master Jian ran out to rescue Tan Shuchang and asked for something to write.

"Brother, please return soon. I will repay you for your kindness one day." Tan Shuchang was not surprised to hear Master Jian say this. He had also heard of the name of the Mountain and River Map. It was something that his mentor, the Black-hearted Old Man, had always been thinking about, so there was no way that the Heavenly Sword Mansion would take it out just to save him.

Therefore, the only possibility is that this Young Master Jian secretly took out the map of mountains and rivers from the Tianjian Mansion.

When Mr. Jian heard what Tan Shuchang said, he immediately clasped his fists in response, and then quickly unfolded a picture.

This picture is extremely mysterious, with a hazy feeling throughout, and when it is unfolded, it seems to encompass the entire world.

Suddenly, Young Master Jian disappeared.

As Young Master Jian left, the clouds he had collected became ownerless and immediately disintegrated.

Tan Shuchang fell down all of a sudden.

However, it is impossible for Tan Shuchang to fall down because of this.

Although the upper realm magic weapon was gone, Tan Shuchang still had other magic weapons in his hands. Although it was only a lower realm magic weapon obtained from Qitian Pavilion, it was completely fine to use it to capture evil spirits.

The reason why Dharma instruments are precious is that they can improve a practitioner in many aspects.

Although combat is the most important aspect, it is not comprehensive.

The black evil spirit was undoubtedly very eye-catching in the snow. Therefore, when Tan Shuchang stepped on the black spirit and approached the peach blossom forest, he was stopped by two monks who came out of the forest.

These are two young men dressed in gorgeous clothes.

One was dressed in snow-white with three plum blossoms embroidered on it, while the other was dressed in lavender with a large snake with a single horn.

These represent the two immortal sects for cultivation in Guanghan Prefecture, Sanmei Mountain and the Snake Cave.

The names of these two immortal sects, the former sounds unremarkable, and the latter sounds like a second-rate sect in the martial arts world. However, in fact, they are the two most powerful cultivation forces in Guanghan Prefecture besides Jinglong Cave Heaven.

Especially the Snake Cave, the disciples who came out of this immortal sect are not only not inferior to the disciples of top immortal sects such as Jinglong Dongtian, Tujian Mountain, Tianjian Mansion, and Xituo Mountain, but each of them has mastered an incredible magical power and can transform into a giant snake.

And this change is not just physical. The lifespan of every snake-transformed cave disciple who transforms into a giant snake will also change accordingly, which is equivalent to living a second life.

"Fellow Daoist, you are a cultivator of the Demon Sect. If that is the case, please do not quarrel with others in the Peach Blossom Land, because there are many cultivators who participated in the killing of the Demon Sect's leader back then, and their descendants are practicing in seclusion here." The disciple from the snake-transformed cave clasped his fists towards Tan Shuchang. Although his tone was indifferent, he did not give Tan Shuchang a bad look.

The disciples of Sanmei Mountain didn't even look at Tan Shuchang, and even looked arrogant.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for informing me."

Tan Shuchang clasped his fists towards the disciple from the snake-transformed cave. What the other party said was very clear. The battle to kill the leader of the Demon Sect would naturally be extremely dangerous.

And behind the danger, there is the possibility that former enemies will take advantage of the opportunity to attack.

There is no doubt that these monks who fled to Guanghan Prefecture had their elders killed by evil monks, and they were also being hunted down by their enemies.

As a result, this leads to this type of cultivators hating the evil cultivators deeply.
