Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

This is a blatant declaration to the Northern Wilderness that the Vast Immortal Sect and the Myriad Manifestations Palace have formed an alliance. It's quite explosive.

The three first-rate powers in the Northern Wilderness can alarm countless smaller forces around them with the slightest movement.

The Haoran Immortal Sect has been at odds with the Taixu Sword Sect for many years, which has made countless small forces tremble with fear and pray that it will not affect them.

The sudden alliance between the Haoran Immortal Sect and the Myriad Manifestations Palace has made the situation even more perplexing.

Is Wanxiang Palace truly determined to help Haoran Immortal Sect fight Taixu Sword Sect, or is it merely standing up for Haoran Immortal Sect? Countless people are speculating.

The Taixu Sword Sect was naturally the first to be affected.

Kong Jian stood with his hands behind his back on the spirit ship, gazing in the direction of Lin Baoding and Yin Tiancheng, his eyes slightly narrowed, remaining silent for a long time.

"Master, there is no need to worry. After this Demon Suppression Ceremony concludes, the Northern Wilderness will respect our Taixu Sword Sect."

Just then, Taiyi transmitted his voice to the empty sword beside him.

"Just go for it."

Kong Jian remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.

After a brief conversation, the master and disciple stood still, no longer paying attention to the Haoran Immortal Sect and the Myriad Phenomena Palace.

Since Taiyi returned from the Sword Tomb, he has been determined to win the Demon Suppression Ceremony, and even Changwen and Wuwo working together could not stop him.

Once Taiyi arrives in the Imperial Continent, all crises will be resolved.

Even if the Myriad Manifestations Palace were to side with the Vast Immortal Sect, the Void Sword Sect might still receive reinforcements. There's no need to panic.

Seeing Kong Jian and Taiyi so calm, those who were watching couldn't help but get excited.

Faced with the combined forces of the two sects, the Taixu Sword Sect remained completely unmoved.

Does this mean that Taiyi already possesses the strength to completely overwhelm Changwen? Or is it that the Taixu Sword Sect has become so powerful that it is unafraid of the two sects joining forces?

"Oh?"

Chang Wen was bored on the deck, so he opened the Taiyi panel and his eyes lit up.

[Name, Taiyi. 】

[Age/Height/Weight: 457 years old/182cm/82kg]

[Identity: Holy Son of the Taixu Sword Sect.]

[Realm: Peak of Tribulation Transcending.]

[Spiritual Root: None.]

[Physique: Chaotic Saint Body.]

[Favorability, -10/100]

[System evaluation: Rapid progress.]

Seeing Taiyi reach the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, Chang Wen was very surprised, "This is pure cheating, he doesn't even need to act anymore."

"A year ago, he was only at the third level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. In just one year, he went directly from the third level to the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm? What else could this be but a cheat code?"

Most importantly, Taiichi's eyes turned completely black, which was very eerie.

"And this favorability rating is ridiculously high. I've never seen a negative number before. Just how much does this person hate me?"

Chang Wen couldn't help but say, "Even though Kong Jian wanted to kill me, his favorability rating was at least 0. How did yours become negative? Are you so desperate to kill me?"

After obtaining the information, Chang Wen closed the Taiyi panel, feeling a bit pressured.

Given Taiyi's level of skill, he might be able to put up a fight with him, and the outcome could be decided in the blink of an eye.

If we want to crush them, the only solution is probably the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

But the Immortal-Slaying Sword can only be used once. Is it worth using such a precious item on Taiyi?

It's clearly not worth it.

"In that case, this trip to the Demon Suppression Platform will inevitably involve a fierce battle."

Chang Wen ultimately made a judgment and then stopped paying attention to the matter.

What he needed to do next was to settle his junior brothers and sisters in place before entering the Demon Suppression Platform.

First of all, Su Xiaoman definitely cannot be brought into the Demon Suppression Platform.

Since Chen Changsheng was unwilling to go, we decided to have him look after Su Xiaoman.

Chu Xinghe and Shen Nianqing are both experienced; whether they go or not is up to them. Finally, there's Lin Yuan.

"Senior Brother, stop talking! I'll go wherever you go!"

Lin Yuan's attitude was firm.

"Yuan'er, it is precisely because of your attitude that I cannot let you come with me."

Chang Wen patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder and continued, "You know what happened last time when you wanted to help me beat up my senior uncles. When we get to the Demon Suppression Platform and face the same situation, the result will be no different. And those enemies won't show any mercy like my senior uncles."

"If you really want to help me, then stay here and find a way to become stronger. You can protect me when you're invincible in the world."

Lin Yuan remained silent for a long time, which could be considered an admission.

While Chang Wen was talking with Lin Yuan, the various forces in the Northern Wilderness were also having a heated discussion about him and Taiyi.

After all, they've been speculating about this topic for a whole year.

The Demon Suppression Ceremony is about to begin, and the answer will soon be revealed.

This encounter will inevitably lead to a life-or-death battle between Chang Wen and Taiyi. What will the outcome be?

"We've waited a year, and this day has finally come. Do you think this will lead to a major war between the two sects?"

"I don't know."

"Anyway, it's no longer important whether Chang Wen or Tai Yi is stronger. What's important is that no matter who dies, the conflict between the two sects could escalate and lead to a final showdown."

"You can't say that. Have you all forgotten how Zhou Qing fell victim to this a thousand years ago?"

"Indeed. Judging from this, the outcome is completely beyond our control..."

"We'll just have to wait and see."

People were talking about it, saying all sorts of things. But no matter what they were talking about, everyone was on edge.

This Demon Suppression Ceremony is very likely to be the end of the feud between the Haoran Immortal Sect and the Taixu Sword Sect.

Even if it doesn't end, it will escalate completely. In short, the impact is enormous, and no one can remain unaffected.

All they can do is wait for time to provide the answer.

On the deck of the Haoran Immortal Sect's spirit ship.

Chang Wen raised his eyes and looked at the light barrier of the Demon Suppression Platform, trying to understand the environment in advance.

The eerie, multicolored gas inside the light shield made him instinctively uncomfortable.

And upon seeing this, a question suddenly arose in his mind.

Since these gases can erode the Great Vehicle's restrictions, they must also be able to kill. If they can kill, why are so many people coming to the Northern Wilderness?

Even Foundation Establishment stage rogue cultivators have come? Are they going in too?

Unable to figure it out, Chang Wen could only look at Jian Jiuxiao and ask the question.

"this……"

Jian Jiuxiao followed Chang Wen's gaze and said, "Only third-rate forces are qualified to enter the Demon Suppression Platform. Others can also enter if they are not afraid of death."

"even……"

"Even what?"

Chang Wen inquired.

"Some people even deliberately want to go in, and then... become demons."

Jian Jiuxiao hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Intentionally becoming a demon?"

Chang Wen never expected that there was such a thing.

"right."

Jian Jiuxiao smiled helplessly, "Not everyone in the Northern Wilderness is like us, able to spend each night peacefully and wake up to plan what to do today."

"Many people teeter on the edge of life and death every day. Even those independent cultivators with some strength are ostracized and suppressed by local forces, and in more serious cases, they may even be surrounded and killed. For them, life is very hard."

"They've heard that becoming a demon grants eternal bliss, so they all want to go in and see if they can change their fate."

Chang Wen...

This explanation truly shattered his preconceived notions about demons. Are there really people who willingly become demons?

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it...
