The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

The Star Moon Demon Clan is born with the ability to observe the stars and make divinations. This is an innate supernatural power that is extremely accurate, with not a single word out of place!

Therefore, even if the individual strength of the Star Moon Demon Clan is not particularly strong, a Demon King candidate can still emerge and receive the love and protection of all the demons.

Moreover, this prophecy was calculated by the current patriarch of the Star Moon Demon Clan, which made all the demons wary of Chi Miao and want to kill him before he grew up!

Otherwise... once Chi Miao truly gains control over the fate of the demon race, it will be too late for them to regret it!

But now...

What if Chi Miao is actually that damned holy maiden of the Tantric sect?!

If the Demon King doesn't appear... the demon race will have to be wary of the Tantric sect.

Moreover, the Tantric sect is notoriously protective of its own. If they knew that their holy maiden died inside, and was killed by demons, I'm afraid... the consequences wouldn't be pleasant.

Although Tantric Buddhism does not have the ability to wipe out the entire demon race, it can still eliminate one of its lineages.

At this moment, the powerful demons present were all drenched in sweat, silently praying in their hearts:

"Please, please don't let my child kill Chi Miao, otherwise... I really won't be able to take responsibility!"

At that moment, the young men and women of the Tantric sect learned, after some conversation, that Chi Miao had already entered the Tianbei Cave.

They launched into another tirade against their third junior brother who was leading the way:

"It's all your fault! You're such a terrible navigator, you led us astray once, and then you took the longest route to Tianbei Cave! If you had taken any other route, we would have met the Holy Maiden and brought her back!"

Yan Ge puffed out his chest, defiantly retorting, "No... when did my disciple become your saintess?"

A young man dressed in white with a refined demeanor stepped out; he was Bai Yue, the senior disciple of the Tantric sect.

He bowed to Yan Ge and said, "Elder Yan Ge, the birth of the Holy Maiden is what our sect leader said, and she has successfully awakened the Star Golden Core. As for whether she is the true Holy Maiden... we will know when we bring her back to the sect."

Yan Ge wanted to say something more, but the Supreme Elder stopped him.

The Supreme Elder chuckled and said, "Don't worry, this is a good thing for Chi Miao. The Tantric sect... was originally hers."

Yan Ge finally shut his mouth, feeling quite displeased.

……

Inside the Heavenly Sorrow Cave, Chi Miao finally woke up.

She fainted in a daze, and when she woke up, she found herself lying in front of a palace with a bonfire burning.

The moment she opened her eyes and regained consciousness...

Gou Shi System: "Oh, you're awake?"

"I say being young is great. You can fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow. Others are about to get the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Sorrow Cave, and you're still sleeping soundly here. You really don't have any sense of crisis at all."

Chi Miao's head still ached a little as she looked around.

There was a huge wall in front of them, and there seemed to be no one else around.

She called out "Sorrowful Sword" twice, but the sword did not respond at all.

Chi Miao: "Dead?"

Gou Shi System: "Don't worry..."

Before the system could continue speaking, Chi Miao smashed the Weeping Sword on the ground.

With a crisp "snap," it made a really clear sound!

Does it sound good?

A good-sounding sword is one that sounds good.

However, the Weeping Sword remained silent.

Chi Miao immediately put on a sorrowful expression: "My Jianjian! How could you die before you could even be of any use! My Jianjian~"

"It's alright, your master loves you. Your master will bury you now... bury you in the place where your former master once lived, then you can die in peace."

As she spoke, she took the Weeping Sword and began digging in the soil.

Gou Shi System: "???"

No way!

You're asking people to dig their own graves, is that polite of you?!

That's way too abstract!

"Don't worry! The Weeping Sword is fine. After you entered this place, your souls and spirits entered a strange space that even I can't sense, but it poses no threat to you... On the contrary, look at your own cultivation level?"

Chi Miao was stunned, only then realizing that he had silently broken through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Chi Miao was dumbfounded: "???"

"I broke through? How did I break through? I just remember fainting as soon as I entered, and then... my Identity V helped me break through?"

That's unreasonable!

She only just broke through to the Golden Core stage today, and besides, her breakthrough required several times more spiritual power than ordinary people.

And then I woke up and had broken through?

To be honest, she was a little panicked.

"Oh no... Will this inexplicable breakthrough make my cultivation level unstable? Should we think of a way to drop a cultivation level? It's a big taboo to not have a solid foundation!"

"I don't feel comfortable using this kind of advancement that doesn't come from hard work!"

She was really going to put herself through a lot of trouble, and her energy was at its peak!

Is this something a human being could do?

Others try every possible way to break through but can't, and you've already broken through but you're still not satisfied. You want to further complicate things yourself, and if others hear about it, wouldn't they all commit seppuku?!

Fortunately, the Gou Shi system quickly stopped him: "You silly fool, what foolish thing are you doing! Your realm is real, why are you falling? Besides... I can feel an indescribable fresh power within you."

"That power is extremely strong and very familiar, but you can't use it right now. I suppose... you've already obtained a fortuitous opportunity."

"You... you met the Heavenly Sorrow Immortal?"

Chi Miao was stunned, and then told the Gou Shi system the whole truth about how he fainted.

Even the historical system couldn't understand it.

But after some discussion between the two...

Chi Miao said, "Fine, since it's not a bad thing, let's leave it alone. If that phantom really is the Heavenly Sorrow Immortal... I doubt he'll actually do anything to the Sorrowful Sword."

"Perhaps when the Weeping Sword awakens, his fourth ability will also awaken? It would be excellent to let him catch up with his former master."

"But...where am I now?"

Looking at the enormous palace in front of him, Chi Miao felt a strange sense of bewilderment and helplessness.

It was empty... she was all alone.

Just then, the Gou Shi system spoke up again: "This should be a site called Cangtian Pavilion within the Tianbei Cave."

Chi Miao was taken aback: "How did you know?"

Gou Shi System: "...Hehe."

Chi Miao: "What the hell are you laughing at? Believe me or not, I'll make you stop laughing in the next second! Hurry up and tell me!"

The Gou Shi system, like a pitiful creature that had just been slapped, said with a wronged expression:

"You're the one who let her down, who forgot all the good things she did for you, and yet you're turning around and blaming her? You! You! You wicked, wicked woman!"

Chi Miao: "?"

She immediately retorted sharply, "You're crazy. Can't I have a normal person around me?"

The history system was then choked up.

How dare you say such a thing? You're the one who's abnormal! You're the one who infected everyone!

However, there are some things it dares not say, since it is living under someone else's roof.

So the Gou Shi system stopped keeping us in suspense: "Look at what's under your feet!"
