Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

[Hmm, during the writing process, I discovered a timeline inconsistency.]

[This refers to the background of the Demon Suppression Ceremony. Before the change, it was held annually, which conflicted with the year-long rest period following the Grand Feast. Therefore, the background of the Demon Suppression Ceremony was changed to be held every two years.]

[The following is the main text]

……

Chang Wen was certain that after their fury subsided, the three demons would spare no effort to hunt him down.

So he has to run away now.

But the reality was not quite what he expected. He traveled hundreds of thousands of miles without finding any trace of the three demons.

Chang Wen couldn't help but turn around and look, his face full of question marks. "Where is everyone?"

There are some things I don't understand.

By destroying two of their array's key points, I essentially ruined their five-hundred-year-long plan. They should be filled with righteous indignation, so why are they completely silent?

"Could they be busy repairing the array's core?"

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Chang Wen slowed down abruptly, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Before long, Chang Wen simply stopped where he was, responding to the disturbance by remaining still.

……

While Chang Wen was waiting, a scene was unfolding in the far distance.

At the center of the field of vision lies a vast golden plaza, spanning hundreds of thousands of square meters. It shines particularly brightly in this space filled with the vibrant energy of desire.

This is the venue for the demon-suppressing ceremony, Demon-Suppressing Peak.

It is also the final stop of this Demon Suppression Ceremony.

After cultivators from the Northern Wilderness enter the Demon Suppression Platform, a two-month period will be used as a benchmark.

Two months later, all cultivators will gather at the Demon-Suppressing Peak to participate in the Demon-Suppressing Ceremony.

There will be a 15-day grace period to allow monks who are delayed and unable to arrive due to special circumstances to wait.

After a 15-day grace period, the entrance to Demon Suppression Peak will close regardless of whether one has arrived at Demon Suppression Peak or not, until the next Demon Suppression Ceremony begins.

No one can be certain that they can remain untainted by the allure of desire. Therefore, the vast majority of people will rush to the Demon-Suppressing Peak before the deadline.

Only a few unlucky individuals will remain on the Demon Suppression Platform forever for various reasons, eventually becoming demonic cultivators.

At this moment.

The Zhenmoding Square was already packed with people.

Nearly 90% of the personnel from the two first-rate forces, Taixu Sword Sect and Wanxiang Palace, have arrived.

This trip to the Demon Suppression Platform is different from the past.

After they entered, the local demonic cultivators seemed to have an almost fanatical obsession with demonizing them, a desire that far surpassed that of before.

It's like receiving a mission that requires you to corrupt them all.

To avoid direct confrontation, they had no choice but to abandon their plan to destroy the Desire Base and instead arrived at the Demon-Suppressing Peak a month early to await the commencement of the Demon-Suppressing Ceremony.

The same applies to the other cultivators in the Northern Wilderness.

Some might ask, since Taixu Sword Sect and Wanxiang Palace have both arrived, has Haoran Immortal Sect, another first-class power, arrived?

Of course they came.

After Fang Zheng obtained the [Foundation Stone], he immediately stayed put and waited for the disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect to gather.

The disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect also strictly adhered to discipline, and after entering the Demon Suppression Platform, they headed towards the [Foundation Stone].

In just half a month, all the disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect had assembled, with not a single one left behind.

After they had assembled, they intended to destroy more bases of lust, but they encountered the same problem as the cultivators from the Northern Wilderness.

A large-scale attack by demonic cultivators forced them to temporarily abandon their mission to destroy the Desire Base and head straight for Demon Suppression Peak.

After arriving at the Demon-Suppressing Peak, they were supposed to go inside.

Because the Demon-Suppressing Peak is protected by an array, it is not subject to the interference of demonic cultivators.

But they did not rush in.

one.

Inside the Demon-Suppressing Peak, Taiyi and the heroes of the Taixu Sword Sect were eyeing each other warily. Chang Wen and Ye Qingliu had not yet arrived.

If a dispute arises, it will be extremely disadvantageous for them.

Secondly.

The Mahayana restrictions on them have not yet disappeared, and they can still hold out for a month without fear of demonic cultivators' interference.

It's not too late to go in once Chang Wen and Ye Qingliu arrive.

however……

Although their approach is very prudent, it seems somewhat detrimental to the sect's reputation.

Inside the Demon Suppression Peak, the mocking voices of the Taixu Sword Sect were extremely loud.

Quan Zhenzi, Jian Jiuxiao, Shen Changfeng, and the others' expressions changed slightly, but they did not respond.

With Chang Wen and Ye Qingliu absent, they became the leaders of the Haoran Immortal Sect. As leaders, they must always prioritize the safety of their disciples and not act impulsively.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and Ye Qingliu arrived at the scene.

Ye Qingliu's appearance undoubtedly gave the disciples of Haoran Immortal Sect a pillar of support, which is why they all entered Zhenmo Peak.

"Senior Sister Qingliu, where is my senior brother?"

When Chu Xinghe had a spare moment, he couldn't help but ask about Chang Wen's whereabouts.

Shen Nianqing, who was standing next to her, also turned her attention over.

"He is dealing with the demons."

Ye Qingliu's response was very brief.

Chu Xinghe was stunned.

How to deal with the demons?

As expected of the eldest disciple, he single-handedly contended with the entire Northern Wilderness Demon Clan...

In his previous life, he had heard that there were three great demons comparable to the peak of the Great Ascension Realm at the Demon Suppression Platform in the Northern Wilderness.

With their extraordinary teamwork, even a peak Mahayana cultivator couldn't survive against them. And yet, their own senior brother was able to hold his own against them... truly...

That's incredible!

Thinking of this, his respect for Chang Wen reached its peak. He couldn't help but wonder, just where exactly was his senior brother's limit?

I don't think I'll be confined to this realm...

"So my senior brother has already reached this level? In that case, I can't hold him back. After this Demon Suppression Ceremony, I should also go to the Imperial Continent to reclaim what belongs to me..."

As if remembering something, Chu Xinghe's gaze regained its firmness.

With a senior brother like Chang Wen, he has a goal in his cultivation. His path to immortality in this world will surely be more exciting because of this.

Shen Nianqing, standing beside her, was also not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

After learning about Chang Wen's current combat strength, she couldn't help but worry about his future.

Because Chang Wen is too dazzling right now.

It's like a towering tree suddenly growing in a forest; the result is predictable.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

Ordinary people can only see Chang Wen's seemingly endless glory, but she understands that behind this glory, there must be a crisis that matches it.

The more dazzling one's fame, the more deadly the crisis.

"Sigh... I thought I could develop my strength in this world in a lowly way, but it seems the plan has fallen through before it even started."

Shen Nianqing smiled bitterly to herself, but quickly regained her composure. "Since this has already happened, I certainly can't sit idly by. I must help my senior brother."

"However, my cultivation level is too low right now, and my strength is limited, so I can't be of much help. I can only wait until the Demon Suppression Ceremony is over before I go back to the Shen family to take a look."

When Shen Nianqing thought of the Shen family, her starry eyes flickered with emotion, her thoughts unreadable.

……

While Chu Xinghe and Shen Nianqing were lost in their own thoughts, the disciples of Haoran Immortal Sect also learned of Chang Wen's actions and couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

They both saw pride and helplessness in each other's eyes.

What I'm proud of is that Chang Wen is incredibly strong.

Unfortunately, Chang Wen was too strong.

The two are not in conflict.

"It is truly my misfortune to be born in the same era as my senior brother."

Quan Zhenzi sighed with relief, "Now I even want to go back to the drawing board."

"In my opinion, after the Demon Suppression Ceremony, we should ask the Sect Master to send us into reincarnation. Let's avoid our senior brother's sharp edge for now."

Jian Jiuxiao also showed emotion in his eyes.

Shen Changfeng nodded. "I think it's feasible."

Everyone...
