Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

The problem is coming.

"Since we know they'll become demons, why didn't we stop them before they went in? If they really do become demons, wouldn't they harm us and our descendants?"

Chang Wen inquired.

"Who can stop this?"

Jian Jiuxiao looked at Chang Wen, "Before they turned into demons, they were genuine humans. If we kill them to avoid risks in advance, it would be tantamount to jeopardizing the livelihood of all the rogue cultivators in the Northern Wilderness. The consequences would be too great."

"Furthermore, whether one becomes an adult or a demon is a matter of personal freedom, and we have no right to interfere."

Chang Wen...

That's a valid point.

"However, I still have a question. Why did those third-rate forces also go in? According to the standards for classifying forces in the Northern Wilderness, the strongest members of third-rate forces are at most at the Integration Realm. How can they resist the aura of desire?"

Chang Wen asked again.

Isn't this knowingly courting death, yet still choosing to die? Do they willingly become demons? Surely not.

"This is related to interests."

Jian Jiuxiao gathered his thoughts and continued, "Once the seal beneath the Demon-Suppressing Platform is broken, the aura of desire will sweep across countless territories in an extremely short time. Not only will the three first-rate forces suffer, but every force in the Northern Wilderness will be affected."

"Third-rate forces are already able to resist the demonic tide to some extent, so we've included them as well."

"It is clearly stipulated that if they are unwilling to go to the Demon Suppression Platform, they must pay a certain amount of handling fee."

Chang Wen suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

"It's not entirely because of that."

Jian Jiuxiao remembered the key point, "There is an even more important reason, which is to let the disciples get used to the feeling of fighting against demons in advance, so that when the seal is truly broken one day, they will not be completely in the dark."

"There's one more thing."

"After the 'Base of Desire' inside the Demon Suppression Platform is destroyed, pure soul power will be released. This soul power has a miraculous effect on nourishing the soul, and it can only be obtained by killing people outside, so it is very rare. Many people come here for this reason."

"I see."

Chang Wenli clarified the ins and outs.

People die for wealth, birds die for food. Since there's something desirable inside, it's not surprising that people would risk going in.

Several days passed quickly, and only five days remained until the Demon Suppression Ceremony began.

Unlike the grand banquet, everyone present, including Ren Yuanzi, Lin Baoding, and Chang Wen, was filled with varying degrees of tension.

After all, this is no friendly sparring match; it's a true death trap. One wrong move and you could be forever corrupted into a demon, with dire consequences.

The younger generation humbly sought advice from the older generation, hoping to gain a better chance of survival.

Peak masters such as Ren Yuanzi and Lin Baoding were also patiently explaining the precautions to their disciples.

Two more days passed.

There are only three days left until the Demon Suppression Ceremony begins.

Discussions about Chang Wen and Taiyi have decreased significantly, and everyone has turned their attention back to themselves, thinking about what will happen at the Demon Suppression Platform and how to survive longer.

Chang Wen was no exception, also informing Chu Xinghe and Shen Nianqing of the precautions.

Although Chu Xinghe and Shen Nianqing had extraordinary experiences, he didn't care about their past lives, only about this one.

In this life, the two are his junior brothers and sisters, and he has an obligation to be responsible for their safety.

"Xinghe Nianqing, once we enter the Demon Suppression Platform, follow me. Don't get lost."

Chang Wen spoke up to remind him.

"Um."

The two nodded in unison, neither of them objecting.

Although they have a strong foundation, their level of cultivation is relatively low, so following Chang Wen will not be a mistake.

After explaining all this, Chang Wen gazed at the distant horizon.

According to Jian Jiuxiao, the Imperial Continent's Sky Patrol Division will come to preside over the Demon Suppression Ceremony three days before it begins.

Judging by the time, it should be almost here.

Emperor Continent, the foremost of the Five Realms. A sacred land for cultivation in the hearts of all cultivators.

The Sky Patrol Division, as the "World Police," is a super giant on par with the Holy Alliance and the Imperial Palace.

The thought of meeting these legendary and powerful forces filled Chang Wen with anticipation.

"They're here."

Before Chang Wen could finish his thoughts, he was drawn to a commotion coming from the horizon.

Above the sky, the clouds silently split open, revealing a gaping hole thousands of feet wide.

Golden light cascaded down like a waterfall, bathing the entire loess plain in a sacred glow.

Everyone looked up.

All cultivators below the Mahayana level trembled slightly, as if a pair of eyes were looking down upon all living beings from the clouds.

Bathed in golden light, a figure slowly descended.

He was an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a plain white robe embroidered with the unique star pattern of the Sky Patrol Division.

With his hands behind his back and his feet treading on the void, golden ripples bloomed beneath his feet with each step, as if the heavens and earth were paving the way for him.

The old man's face was peaceful, without the slightest hint of aura emanating from him. Yet, it was precisely this peaceful demeanor that caused nearly ten million cultivators present to hold their breath in unison.

Even Lin Baoding couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart, sensing a bit of pressure.

"In previous years, it was always ordinary elders from the Sky Patrol Division who came. Why did they send him this time?"

Lin Baoding frowned slightly. "Could it be because Chang Wen has comprehended the Great Brightness Sutra?"

He had met this person a few times.

In his youth, he was full of vigor and ambition, and once ventured into the Imperial Continent as a rogue cultivator. At that time, he was already a well-known figure in the Imperial Continent.

Now, tens of thousands of years later, this person's aura has become even more unfathomable.

Although both were at the peak of the Mahayana realm, Lin Baoding was very certain that he was no match for this old man.

Things don't seem to be as simple as they seem.

"Greetings, Venerable White-browed One!"

In the stillness of the night, the sound of the empty sword echoed across the surrounding area, conveying a deep and heartfelt respect.

"Greetings, Venerable White-browed One—"

Hundreds of millions of cultivators clasped their hands in a salute.

These clan leaders and family heads, who were usually high and mighty, all bowed their heads respectfully at this moment, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

The Imperial Continent's Celestial Patrol Division is not only a symbol of power, but also a synonym for divinity.

Legend has it that the spiritual energy in the Imperial Continent is so rich that it is almost liquid, and there are immortal herbs and spiritual medicines everywhere. Moreover, some babies are born with the cultivation level of a Golden Core.

The cultivators there often live for tens of thousands of years, and the landscape changes with every gesture they make.

The Sky Patrol Division consists of law enforcement officers dispatched by the Imperial Continent to various departments to maintain order throughout the cultivation world.

In the eyes of hundreds of millions of cultivators, the Imperial Continent is the Immortal Realm.

The white-browed venerable one before them was an immortal descended from the celestial realm. Even Lin Baoding, Kong Jian, and Yin Tiancheng were far inferior to him.

"So this is the prestige of cultivators from the Imperial Continent..."

Chang Wen stared at the old man, and after the initial shock, quietly opened his interface.

[Name: Seeking Wangji.]

[Age/Height/Weight: 81111 years old/175cm/81kg]

[Identity: Left Demon Suppressor of the Sky Patrol Division, Venerable White Eyebrows.]

[Realm Level: Peak of the Great Ascension Realm (Possesses all the necessary elements for advancement to the Divine Bridge Realm, but the conditions are not yet met, and the advancement has not been achieved).]

[Spiritual Root: Mid-grade Wood Spiritual Root.]

[Physique, the essence of all things.]

[Favorability, 65/100]

[System review: Seeking the meaning of justice in this broken and chaotic world.]

"Wow, over 80,000 years old, a true antique..."

Upon seeing the old man's cultivation level, Chang Wen couldn't help but sigh.

After the initial shock, a deep sense of doubt arose. What was the old man's cultivation level...?

The peak of Mahayana is the peak of Mahayana. What does the peak of Super Mahayana mean?

Most importantly, he had never met the old man before, yet his favorability rating was an astonishing 65.

Ok……

There must be an explanation.

Putting all that aside, one thing is certain: this old man was definitely a fair and just person…

After learning the old man's basic information, Chang Wen turned off the panel and continued to observe the situation on the field.
