Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 303 Demon Exorcism Conference
Recently, the three thousand states have become restless.

During his return to the Patching Heaven Sect, Lin Fan heard a lot of news, some of which surprised him greatly.

"Have you heard? Half a month ago, the new successor of the Demon Dragon Path was attacked and killed while traveling. There wasn't even a trace of his body left."

"What?! Who on earth is so audacious as to offend such an ancient and enduring lineage as the Demon Dragon Path?!" someone exclaimed in shock.

"It is said to be the work of the inheritors of the Taiyi Heavenly Skill, who devour the essence of living beings in various states to strengthen themselves."

"At first, it was just some ordinary disciples of major sects who were harmed, and those sects didn't care much, since every year disciples would be injured or killed by various accidents."

But later, this only fueled their arrogance. Perhaps because they had become stronger, they were no longer satisfied and set their sights on the geniuses of various races.

"Is that demonic art so alluring that one is willing to offend major powers for it? Where will he find refuge in the Three Thousand Provinces in the future?"

A group of people gasped in disbelief, because in their eyes, this behavior was undoubtedly suicidal.

"Tsk, it's not just attractive, it's amazing. It can make ordinary people comparable to the first generation. All the major cult leaders want to see it."

"Furthermore, there have been many attacks on the successors of the prodigies in recent years. There was a first-generation successor who perished, and it is said that the successor of the Immortal Palace was almost ambushed as well."

"Hiss... Do those major sects just not react at all and let it develop like this?"

Some people are well aware that if the inheritors of demonic arts are allowed to grow stronger, it will become uncontrollable, and in the end, no one will be able to do anything about it.

It is even possible that another Devouring Demon Emperor will be born, causing turmoil in the upper realm and resulting in endless bloodshed.

Especially for the younger generation, who would dare to travel far from home in the future? They might be attacked and killed at any moment. From then on, everyone would live in fear.

"Some geniuses with protectors are fine and will receive special protection, but we rogue cultivators without any background are in a terrible situation."

Many creatures shuddered; the mere thought of it was terrifying, sending shivers down their spines.

"The pebbles I casually tossed down were meant to distract people, but now they've unexpectedly created some waves..."

On the way, Lin Fan heard all sorts of information, which he found very interesting.

For example, some sects have begun to take this seriously, and in order to capture the inheritors of demonic arts, they have even offered rewards such as sacred medicines and sect-specific techniques.

However, its true purpose remains to be seen, since the "great teaching" refers to capturing the enemy alive, as the dead are of little value.

At the same time, some sects are spreading misinformation, attacking and killing the successors of opposing forces, and blaming the inheritors of demonic arts for their mistakes.

Their intentions were undeniably sinister!

Therefore, in order to deal with these people, Ziwei Prefecture will hold a gathering where a large number of geniuses will gather to exchange ideas.

"The strongest young generation from the three thousand states has gathered to hold the Demon Hunting Tournament. I wonder what kind of sparks will fly. It's truly something to look forward to!"

Which outstanding individuals are participating?

“There are over a hundred people from various lineages participating, including the successor of the Immortal Palace, the genius of Sword Valley, the War King of the War Clan, the first generation of the Celestial Race, and the two prodigies of the Divine Cliff Academy.”

"If you think about it this way, it really is a grand event. I just wonder if we are qualified to attend?"

"Although the various sects have not restricted the number of participants, not just anyone can participate. Let's take a look from the outside."

Along the way, many people were talking about it, hoping that the executioner would be eliminated as soon as possible and that peace would be restored to the upper realm.

"The Demon Extermination Tournament is such an interesting event, how could I miss it?"

Lin Fan's lips curled up slightly. He was known as the Little Demon King, and he was probably one of the demons to be eliminated in secret.

Afterwards, he blended into the crowd, having already adjusted his cultivation level to the Venerable Realm to avoid attracting attention. ...

The next day, Lin Fan arrived at a giant city, its entire body shimmering with purple light. Its grandeur could be seen from afar, a scene of purple light coming from the east.

As for the Gathering of Geniuses, it is held right here!
Moreover, this city is no ordinary city. It is said to be the capital of an ancient dynasty and was once named after an emperor. It was quite powerful and prosperous at the time.

But one day, this vast dynasty suddenly began to decline, and its enemies seized the opportunity to destroy it in one fell swoop.

In fact, there are many different opinions about its demise, but one theory that is widely accepted is related to its self-proclaimed status as an "emperor".

It is known that throughout history, the word "emperor" seems to possess a kind of mysterious power; once one is tainted by it, calamity will befall them.

The Thunder Emperor, one of the Ten Fiends of the Immortal Era, was such a case. He could have acted on behalf of Heaven to punish evil, and his talent was unparalleled throughout history, allowing him to achieve the status of an Immortal King. Unfortunately, he died too early.

"Candied hawthorn berries, big and sweet!"

"Jiaolong meat buns, juicy and fragrant!"

……

As soon as you step into the ancient city, the atmosphere of the bustling world hits you. The streets are crowded with people, and the sounds of vendors calling out their wares fill the air. It's very lively.

The candied hawthorn berries are indeed very sweet. They are not made from ordinary fruits, but from a mixture of spiritual fruits and herbs.

Just like the dragon meat filling buns, the ingredients come from real ferocious beasts, which shows how remarkable this shop and this city are.

You could say this is a divine city, with a constant stream of pedestrians on the streets, but none of them are ordinary people; they are all cultivators.

Recently, the grand gathering of young heroes has been held, attracting many powerful individuals, making the city extremely noisy and far from peaceful.

"The successor of the Immortal Palace will appear. It is said that he killed a demonic art inheritor. He is exceptionally talented and will be the highlight of the event."

"A remarkable person. Such a figure deserves respect wherever he goes. He will surely become the supreme ruler who controls the three thousand states in the future."

"Will that little devil from the Heaven-Mending Sect, who is on par with him, come?" someone asked.

"What are you thinking? This is the Demon Hunter Tournament. Although it's not officially about dealing with him, it's still awkward to come here."

"Don't forget, the little devil possesses the Dao weapon of the Devouring Demon Emperor. Theoretically speaking, he is the true successor of the Demon Emperor. It's just that he is the first generation and doesn't need to cultivate the man-eating technique."

Lin Fan listened quietly, gaining a lot, and even changed his appearance, now wearing roc feathers and with every strand of hair turning golden.

At first glance, the cultivators along the way thought he came from the Golden-Winged Roc Clan, with his sharp eyes and fiery blood as intense as the sun.

He walked forward, and in the center of the great city, there was a purple stone ridge, shrouded in mist and clouds, majestic and imposing.

If you look closely, you can see that it resembles a giant dragon coiled there, with a hazy purple color and a magnificent presence.

Unfortunately, the only flaw is that the seven-inch mark seems to have been cleaved in two by a sword, preventing the diffused purple color from converging.

If you think about it carefully, there is a special meaning behind it, which is equivalent to cutting off the fortune of a dynasty.

However, even so, it appears incredibly grand and imposing!
"With the fall of the Ziwei Dynasty, this mountain range also collapsed in the war, losing a large amount of its divinity and becoming unsuitable for cultivation, turning into a mere landscape."

Sure enough, as soon as he got close, Lin Fan heard some living beings say that they were here to pay their respects and mourn.

"The Grand Gathering of Geniuses is being held on the highest stone mountain—Dragon Head Peak!" Lin Fan inquired, heading there uninvited.
