I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 652

Then the swordsman chuckled and continued.

"Since we are willing to follow the Fourteenth Prince, we naturally know a thing or two about the situation here. This Juntian Desert is a remote and desolate place, rarely visited by humans. Its strange environment has also bred countless strange and bizarre beasts. However, we have two great masters here, and you, the know-it-all Hongye Scholar, have mastered the map of this area. I think we can escape unscathed."

The Red Leaf Scholar said in a deep voice, "You are all well-known masters in the martial arts world. A simple crisis will naturally not be a problem for you. However, you must not take it lightly. After all, we are facing not only natural dangers but also the demonic sect entrenched within them!"

The Fourteenth Prince nodded in due time and said, "Yes, this trip is indeed extremely dangerous. We have to face not only natural disasters, but also man-made disasters. Natural disasters are indeed dangerous, but as long as we understand them, there are ways to overcome them. However, the human heart is more vicious than anything else, especially those in the Demon Sect. They are cruel and cunning. Our goal is to find out the truth and try not to have a head-on conflict with them. After all, this is their base camp. If we really alarm the powerful gods, we will be in danger."

The Fourteenth Prince is not very old, but he grew up in the royal family. As the saying goes, living in a good environment nourishes the body and moving nourishes the spirit. He grew up in the deep palace, so naturally he is very different from ordinary people. When he said this, he had an attitude that was better than that of Hongye Scholar, which made people convinced.

Li Ming looked at the crimson desert before him and sighed softly, "I wonder how they survived in such a harsh environment."

As one of the only two grandmasters in the team, Li Ming's words naturally carry great weight, so Taoist Tianfeng came over and said.

"The six paths of the demon sect each have their own unique magic skills. Although they are brutal and domineering, it must be said that they do have their own unique features. For example, the Blood River Path kills people to obtain their blood for training. As long as they have sufficient resources, their innate nature will have no worries at all. This is unimaginable for ordinary people."

"As far as I know, there's a magical skill called 'Eating Wind and Drinking Dew'. It was originally passed down by a certain master, but later fell into the hands of the demon sect. The wonder of this magical skill is that it allows people to absorb nutrients from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. People like us who are innate can usually go for more than ten days without food or drink, but there is a limit. It is said that those who practice this skill can survive by eating Qi. At the innate realm, people can almost completely abandon food and drink. There are also things like 'Chewing Iron Magic' and 'Eating Earth' for the acquired realm. Although the names are a bit rustic, the effects are really amazing. People can sharpen the Qi of Gold and the Qi of Earth to enhance their internal cultivation, and to a certain extent reduce their demand for the outside world."

Upon hearing this, Hongye Scholar sighed softly and shook his head.

Hongye Scholar and Tianfeng Taoist are both veterans of the martial arts world. The title of Hongye Scholar has been passed down from generation to generation. He is the owner of Hongye Study. Hongye Study is also a very famous sect in the martial arts world, but unlike Huanggelou which is spread all over the world, there is only one Hongye Study, and there is only Hongye Scholar in the study.

They also do intelligence work, but unlike Huang Gelou who focuses on current affairs, Hongye Shuzhai focuses on being knowledgeable and well-informed, with hundreds of years of accumulation, and covers all kinds of strange stories and secrets in the martial arts world.

This time, the Red Leaf Scholar wasn't a self-proclaimed recruit; he was specifically invited by the Great Xia Imperial Family because a previous Red Leaf Scholar had traveled through the Juntian Desert and, upon returning, had left behind maps. Taoist Tianfeng, on the other hand, was a solitary individual, but his life experience was legendary and rich. He had interacted with everyone from the Great Xia Imperial Family to the lower classes, and was considered well-informed. Of course, the Red Leaf Scholar was more like someone who had graduated from a professional school, as he now spoke.

"Old Taoist, you only know one side of the story. The several miraculous skills you mentioned are indeed true, but apart from the 'Eating Wind and Drinking Dew Art' which can directly lead to supernatural powers, and even makes one naturally suitable for achieving the 'Eating Wind and Drinking Dew Art' after mastering it, the 'Chewing Iron Art' and the 'Eating Dirt Art' are both extremely harmful to the body. Especially the 'Eating Dirt Art'. Although it can temporarily relieve worries in extreme environments, the damage to the human body is irreversible. Once eaten, it will happen again. The people of the Demon Sect survive here by relying on fierce struggles and plundering the other party's resources. It's like raising a Gu. Only the victor can survive!!!"

Then the two of them talked about the magic skills, its organizational structure and the model of cultivating talents. Hearing this, Li Ming's eyes showed a little more worry.

"Those who grow up in such an environment, amidst such brutal struggles, are undoubtedly far superior to the greenhouse-grown talents of the Central Plains martial arts world. While the magic of the demonic sects is often said to be treacherous, aren't the orthodox skills of the Xuan Sect also profound and unfathomable? They even possess restraint. When it comes to a true duel between masters, these are often the final words that come to the fore."

"Orthodox martial arts emphasize moderation and peace. If the practitioner's mindset is aligned with this, they will achieve twice the result with half the effort. The same is true for demonic skills. Demonic skills are brutal and fierce. The more resentment is contained, the more it can stimulate one's own demonic nature, and the cultivation level will advance by leaps and bounds!"

"It now seems that the Six Paths of Demon Sect were expelled from the Central Plains and finally settled in the bitter cold land outside the Four Poles. It wasn't necessarily out of helplessness, but perhaps the result of various considerations. After all, if they were to hide their identities, the Jianghu is so vast that they would always find a way to hide. And here, people of the right path wouldn't have nothing better to do than come and investigate. Red Leaf Scholar is not an exception; he really has too much time to spare."

"Secondly, it can sharpen the minds of future disciples. It seems that while the demonic sects are constantly emerging with new talents, the righteous sects are still following the rules. There's a reason for this. But since they've been quiet outside the domain for a thousand years, why have they suddenly started to stir up trouble recently? If I were the emperor of Great Xia, I'd probably be suspicious too."

In fact, when it comes to the understanding of the Demon Sect, neither the Red Leaf Scholar nor the Tianfeng Taoist can compare with Li Ming. What they have obtained is nothing more than news from the outside world, but Li Ming has truly swallowed all the memories of a master of the Demon Sect. Although he is not at the top level, he can also access many secrets. Naturally, he knows that the Demon Sect has been able to survive here for nearly a thousand years and they also have their own way of survival.

However, regarding the invasion of the Central Plains, Zi Yi was just following orders and carrying out the plan. He was not quite sure about the reason behind it.

When he read this, a purple light suddenly flashed in Li Ming's eyes. He raised his head and looked into the distance. His gaze seemed to have traveled through thousands of miles of space and locked onto a certain place.
