Having mastered the Daoist arts, you're telling me you're in a world of demons and monster

In Qingshan County.

The sudden downpour came quickly and went quickly.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the sun shone brightly once more.

in the courtyard.

Jiang Xuanjing slowly stood up.

Within the quiet room, lightning bolts suddenly seemed to dance across the space, displaying extraordinary power.

The golden elixir has been formed.

Yin and Yang in harmony, cultivating both body and spirit.

Having cultivated to this point, Jiang Xuanjing had already realized that he had reached the pinnacle of the "Jade Purity Six Imperial True Scripture," and there was no higher realm to be found.

hum!

The ripples spread across the nine layers of the void, creating vast ripples.

A wisp of golden elixir light rose from within his body and spread out continuously.

Baili.

Thousands of miles...

Compared to his time at the Purple Mansion Realm, Jiang Xuanjing felt that his Jade Book Spirit Chapter Flying Sword Technique was now capable of taking someone's head from a thousand miles away—a true sword immortal's skill.

"After swallowing a golden pill, I realized that my fate was not determined by heaven."

Jiang Xuanjing stood in the quiet room, a sense of joy welling up inside him.

After years of cultivation, I have finally achieved the Golden Elixir. How could I not be overjoyed?

"Previously, Zhao Wuduan thought I had entered the Dao realm, but now that my Purple Mansion has transformed into the Golden Core stage, I wonder how long I have been in this world?"

He secretly compared the differences between the cultivation system of this world and the Daoist teachings of the Heavenly Book. With a slight thought, his figure flashed.

Shrinking the earth to an inch, making the near seem far, is all just a thought away.

In the blink of an eye, he stepped out of the quiet courtyard and appeared directly in front of Zhao Wuduan.

"Hiss... Congratulations, senior!"

Upon seeing Jiang Xuanjing suddenly appear, Zhao Wuduan was startled and instinctively wanted to attack him, but upon seeing that it was Jiang Xuanjing, he quickly changed his gesture to cupping his hands in congratulations.

Such unbelievable methods are undoubtedly indicative of someone who has entered the Dao!

Kind words cost nothing, and it would be truly foolish not to take the opportunity to curry favor with such a powerful figure.

As for the differences in their appearances...

Those who have entered the Dao realm naturally have long lifespans, and their appearance can change in various ways, which is commonplace for them.

"Let's go."

Jiang Xuanjing smiled faintly.

The two entered the main hall, and Zhao Wuduan immediately dismissed the servants and maids around him, personally stepped forward to pour a cup of tea, and presented it with both hands:

"This tea is the first harvest of spring tea from Longhu. Please enjoy it, senior."

As he spoke, Zhao Wuduan secretly rejoiced.

He usually wouldn't even dare to drink this Longhu Spring Tea lightly, not even for himself.

It's not that I'm stingy, but this tea is so rare and hard to come by that a single ounce costs more than a thousand gold pieces, and it's so expensive that there's no market for it. Even if you have a lot of money, you might not be able to buy it.

This bit of spring tea was a gift from a close friend when he took up his post here.

Today, I have finally met a distinguished guest worthy of such exquisite tea.

"Speak."

Jiang Xuanjing raised his eyes and said calmly, "What do you want to discuss with me?"

Zhao Wuduan carefully chose his words and respectfully asked, "This junior dares to ask, senior, do you know why such demons have been attracted to Yu Family Fortress? And what is the origin of that Heavenly Wolf bloodline?"

"Speak your mind."

Jiang Xuanjing took a sip of Longhu Spring Tea, but couldn't discern anything particularly special about it.

"Yes."

Zhao Wuduan wasn't embarrassed and quickly said,

"Ten thousand miles east of Qingshan, there is a formidable pass, a natural barrier that has been defending against the eight demon tribes since its establishment a hundred years ago. One of these tribes is the Moon Tribe, belonging to the Heavenly Wolf. The Heavenly Wolf that was slain by our predecessor should be one of the descendants of the current Heavenly Wolf King..."

He recounted in detail everything he had witnessed in his desperate situation.

"Senior Jiang is a highly accomplished master, possessing great compassion, immense magical power, and supernatural abilities. Therefore, we earnestly request your assistance to save the people from this dire situation!"

As he spoke, he was about to kowtow.

But an invisible force seemed to be blocking his way, preventing him from bowing any further. He did not force himself, but simply remained in the prostrate position, waiting quietly.

But my heart was already in turmoil.

He couldn't fathom Jiang Xuanjing's thoughts, nor did he know what the other party intended to do, so for now, he had no choice but to take this desperate gamble.

"The Eight Divisions of Demons...The Wolf King..."

Jiang Xuanjing smiled faintly, his gaze fixed on Zhao Wuduan.

"How do you know that the so-called scene of despair you speak of is real, and not just an illusion deliberately woven by that wolf demon?"

Zhao Wuduan had considered this point before.

However, since this matter is of great importance, it's better to believe it's true than not to believe it's not.

Moreover, his true objective was not the Sirius King himself, but rather the Xuanjing Division, specifically the hidden mole within it.

"What you say is absolutely right, senior. But the pass is an insurmountable barrier. Without the help of an inside agent, even someone as strong as the Heavenly Wolf bloodline could not easily cross the border to get here."

Zhao Wuduan explained in a deep voice, "The Xuanjing Division is responsible for slaying demons and protecting the region. Tianlang has been lurking in Zhangtai Prefecture for so long, yet there has been no movement from within the prefecture. This is too abnormal."

Among the demon race, many possess innate supernatural abilities.

Many demons are skilled at concealing their whereabouts.

However, the Xuanjing Division also has specific methods to deal with this.

The Demon-Sensing Mirror and the Sky-Patrolling Disc, two magical artifacts from the Heavenly Crafts Academy, are powerful tools specifically designed to detect the aura of demons.

Even if it cannot pinpoint the exact location, it can still sense the general clues.

However, since the incident at Yujiabao, the Xuanjing Division has remained completely silent.

"An inside man?"

Jiang Xuanjing remained calm and unconcerned.

"Slaying demons and eliminating evil is the duty of our Taoist sect."

"If there are indeed demons causing trouble, I will personally take action to slay them; there is no need for further words."

Compared to these conspiracies and schemes, what he cared about more was the world itself.

In the Great Xin Dynasty, demons roamed freely, martial arts flourished, and magic was profound...

"I have been living in seclusion in the mountains for many years, indifferent to worldly affairs, and know very little about the changing world below."

Jiang Xuanjing casually found an excuse and said in a light tone, "Commander Zhao has been running around in the mortal world for a long time and is well aware of the situation here. Why don't you tell me in detail?"

"Yes."

Zhao Wuduan was overjoyed and no longer pondered whether Jiang Xuanjing was truly ignorant of worldly affairs. He immediately replied,

"Senior, please ask whatever you wish, and I will answer to the best of my knowledge!"

And so, the time that followed slipped by quietly as the two of them asked and answered questions.

Fortunately, both of them possessed cultivation, so even if they sat and talked for a long time and lost track of time, it was not a big problem.

As dusk approached, the head constable of the county government hurriedly came to the door, saying that something had suddenly happened in Yu Family Fort and he had come to ask Zhao Wuduan to go and investigate.

"Please forgive me, senior."

Zhao Wuduan looked apologetic. "I suppose the yamen runners below are inexperienced and panicked when things happened. I'll be right back."

"Go."

Jiang Xuanjing sat motionless, already having a clear understanding of everything he needed to know.

No longer completely in the dark.

The Great Xin Dynasty faces border troubles on all sides, and numerous powerful families and sects stand side by side... This is a vast and indescribable world.

Besides the demons that roam the world, there are even rarer and more bizarre creatures, formless and intangible, without any physical substance...

"etc."

Jiang Xuanjing suddenly spoke up and called out to Zhao Wuduan.

"senior……"

Although Zhao Wuduan was puzzled, he immediately stopped and turned around.

"If you encounter an insurmountable danger, you may recite my name."
