Start slaying demons from the proficiency panel.

With the death of the Heavenly Immortal, the Purple Mansion Grotto Heaven immediately began to rumble, as it had lost contact with its creator and was now out of control.

Without the control of the Heavenly Immortal, this small world will likely automatically merge into the Three Thousand Great Worlds after tens of thousands of years, returning to its original state.

Looking at the devastated land, Ning Xiu inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

The great cataclysm that was supposed to happen was ultimately changed by itself. Everyone will survive, and no one will be bound by the rules of this world again. Everyone will have the opportunity to cultivate and become an immortal.

Everyone in the world of the Holy Mark was released, and seeing the world-ending scene outside, everyone was deeply shocked.

"Emperor Ningxiu, that ancient immortal?" someone asked.

Ning Xiu pointed to the headless corpse on the ground. The True Immortal was over two zhang tall, making it very conspicuous, and everyone fell silent.

Ning Xiu single-handedly killed a True Immortal!

Jinghua Zun breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze towards Ning Xiu filled with satisfaction. His prophecy had indeed come true; Ning Xiu was the one who could save this world.

Moreover, the result he achieved was even better than he had hoped. He not only saved all living beings in this world, but also killed that ancient immortal.

From then on, this world was completely freed from the control of the Heavenly Immortal, and all living beings were free.

But things didn't end so easily. After Ning Xiu's battle with Huang Tianzhenxian, the Gray Sea had turned into a desert, and this place was full of broken realms, where evil creatures from outside the realms could break in at any time.

If left unchecked, this world will become an extremely harsh environment.

“My two avatars will always guard this place. I will build a formidable fortress here to monitor and resist these shattered realms,” Ning Xiu said to everyone.

Two True Immortals died in the Gray Sea, which is rich in the blood and immortal energy of True Immortals. Cultivating here will yield extremely powerful results.

As soon as Ning Xiu made his statement, many people immediately responded: "I am willing to follow Emperor Ning Xiu to guard this place and do my part to protect the living beings of this world."

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

"I'm just like them!"

A crisis also represents huge gains. Staying here to cultivate will definitely bring far more benefits than returning to one's hometown.

With the support of so many great emperors, within just a few months, a magnificent city appeared in the Gray Sea, which was collectively named 'Demon Suppression Pass' by everyone.

From the Great Emperor to the First-Rank Sword Cultivator, many chose to stay in the city, fighting against demons and monsters from beyond the realm and absorbing immortal energy to cultivate.

Because the land is nourished by the blood of true immortals, this land has miraculously grown immortal herbs and flowers. Even without refining pills, simply consuming them can yield powerful medicinal effects and rapidly improve one's cultivation.

With Demon Buddha Ning Xiu and Heavenly Lord Ning Xiu in charge, and two True Immortals present, safety was guaranteed. Ning Xiu then left alone, and no one knew where he went.

A few months later, the Great Shang Dynasty...

The battle that took place at Zanghai Ridge and Gray Sea did not have a significant impact on the Shang Dynasty, because the distance between the two places was simply too great.

When Ning Xiu walked back to Da Shang, Da Shang had already recovered the lost territories and now had all thirty-six states under its control, thus fulfilling the long-cherished wish of the Demon Subduing Division since its inception.

Those predecessors who sacrificed themselves to vanquish evil throughout history can now rest in peace in the afterlife.

On his journey from Zanghai Ridge back to Dashang, Ning Xiu visited the barbarian tribes whose bloodlines he had activated. They had now unified the grasslands and established their capital city.

They all enshrined Ning Xiu as a deity.

In this era brimming with Daoist wisdom, everyone, regardless of their race, cultivates incredibly quickly. The once rare Dragon-Elephant Upper Realm is now practically everywhere.

Even some sects have begun to classify disciples who are not yet at the Dragon Elephant Upper Realm as weak and not allowed to go out, which shows that the overall strength level of this world is constantly improving.

The Great Zhou Dynasty, which possessed thirty-six states, appointed a Protector-General from the Dragon and Elephant Upper Realm to oversee each state and prevent foreign invasion.

Ning Xiu provided the best assistance to the Great Shang Dynasty, bestowing upon every citizen a blessing of vital energy and blood. This enabled even those who had not cultivated to achieve a strength of 500 jin, giving everyone the physique to fight tigers and wolves.

Given enough time, how could the Shang Dynasty not become powerful?

"May the God of Commerce bless my son so that he can pass the championship camp test this year."

"Sage of Commerce, please bless my wife so that she will give birth to a big, healthy son."

"Sage of Commerce, I've been experiencing pain in my butt when I poop lately. Please bless me so that I'll be alright."

Upon entering the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty, Ning Xiu happened to pass by a roadside temple, where incense was burning brightly and a tall stone statue was displayed.

Ning Xiu intended to continue walking forward, but then he heard various prayers coming from the temple, which made him stop in his tracks.

"The Sage of Commerce?" Ning Xiu turned his head and looked over. Sure enough, the tall stone statue looked exactly like himself.

These people were worshipping themselves.

Ning Xiu's contributions to the Shang Dynasty, from the time of Emperor Taizu to the present day, are all of the highest caliber.

The Shang emperor erected a statue of Ning Xiu as a sage, directly elevating his status above the Three Sages. This would be passed down through generations, making Ning Xiu an integral figure in the history of the Shang Dynasty.

Although he had become a true immortal, Ning Xiu's skills were all focused on combat and he was unable to respond to the people kneeling in the temple offering incense to him.

The idea of ​​deities receiving offerings of incense doesn't work for Ning Xiu; he won't gain anything from it.

After thinking it over, Ning Xiu activated the internal energy of all the people kneeling in the temple. Although he couldn't fulfill their wishes, he could at least ensure that they would be healthy, live long lives, and have a good appetite.

"I suddenly feel incredibly energetic!"

"I feel so energetic now!"

"It's the Sage of Commerce manifesting himself! It's definitely the Sage of Commerce manifesting himself!"

Immediately, the people in the temple resumed kowtowing, far more intensely than before.

After doing all this, Ning Xiu quietly left.

This world will inevitably be integrated into the Three Thousand Great Worlds in the future. Even Ning Xiu himself cannot predict what will happen then. As for the so-called Immortal Court that exists in the Three Thousand Worlds, Ning Xiu does not intend to leave this world now to learn about it.

Even immortals like Huangtian Zhenxian and Qingcang Zhenxian are subject to control in the Celestial Court. Clearly, joining the Celestial Court is not a good thing. It would be better to stay in this realm and wait for the small world to begin merging with the three thousand great worlds.

During this time, I can cultivate more promising talents who will become pillars of the Great Shang Dynasty and the world, preventing this world from being bullied by the locals of the Three Thousand Worlds.

……

After the yin tide ends, under the influence of the yang light, evil spirits in the world no longer dare to act easily, except perhaps at night when they might go out to harm people.

But nowadays, wealthy merchants possess astonishing vitality. Even at night, their vitality is as powerful as a bright lamp, and evil spirits dare not approach them easily, let alone harm them.

The Demon Subduing Division gradually began to transform, becoming a tool for capturing notorious thieves and bandits who, relying on their powerful and vigorous nature, committed heinous acts, murder for profit, and disregard for human life.

Outside Changyang City lies a mountain, a place of treacherous terrain, shrouded in mist year-round, with poisonous miasma and teeming with ferocious beasts and venomous insects deep within, a place even hunters have always avoided.

Therefore, this mountain has become a hiding place for many criminals.

Boom!

Thunder rumbled, the sky darkened, and within moments a torrential downpour began, as if the heavens were pouring water, the rain so dense that even a few steps away could not be clearly seen.

"It looks like they fled this way, but they've disappeared without a trace."

"Damn it, the rain washed away all the footprints. We're not going to find that one-eyed guy now."

"I spent ten days staking out him before he finally showed up, and then I lost the clue like this. I'm really not willing to accept it."

"There's nothing we can do. The weather just isn't cooperating. Man proposes, God disposes."

A group of men and women dressed in the robes of the Demon Slayers walked through the dense forest, holding blades and looking around. In just a short while, they were soaked to the bone by the rain.

"The terrain of Mangshan is complex and difficult to find. Let's retreat first, otherwise it will be troublesome if we get lost in the mountains."

One of the demon-slaying officers suggested this, but before his companions could agree, a dozen figures suddenly appeared around them, their hands wielding gleaming blades.

"Demon Slayer, you guys are pretty capable, daring to chase me all the way here. Damn it, a bunch of iron cavalry dare to be arrogant in front of me. Brothers, give us your men, kill the men directly, and take the women back to have a good taste." A man with only one eye shouted with a knife in hand and a wicked smile.

The men around him burst into laughter, raised their swords, and charged towards the group of demon-slaying officers.

"Sixth rank! Oh no, all of them are middle-rank three-level martial artists." Fu Mowei was shocked. Although they were also middle-rank three-level martial artists, the number of the other side was simply too much.

Once a fight breaks out, we will definitely be at a disadvantage.

"Get out of here quickly!"

But it was too late. The group of Demon Slayers were immediately surrounded, with One-Eyed Dragon's men blocking their way from all sides. In an instant, the rainy weather added a touch of murderous intent.

Soon, the group clashed. Although the Demon Slayers were able to put up some resistance, they were outnumbered and their disadvantage quickly became apparent.

Just as the demon-slaying officers were filled with despair, a tiger's roar suddenly rang out from the depths of the forest, and a ferocious figure ran out from the depths of the forest, roaring angrily.

It was a red-skinned, black-striped tiger, taller than an adult, with powerful muscles all over its body, clearly not a simple wild beast.

"Lord Mangshan! It's Lord Mangshan! Run! Don't kill anyone in front of Lord Mangshan!" Upon seeing the tiger, the one-eyed man and his gang turned tail and ran, having no intention of continuing to entangle with the Demon-Subduing Guards.

The sudden resolution of the crisis left the group of demon-slaying officers somewhat puzzled.

Does this tiger have some extraordinary background? How could it make the one-eyed man so afraid?

The tiger slowly walked up to the demon-slaying officers and spoke in human language: "Come with me, my master wants to see you."

"A monster!" a female demon-slaying officer exclaimed in surprise.

Although the Demon Exorcism Division has transformed itself, its glorious past is etched in the hearts of every Demon Exorcism Officer. Even the newly joined young Demon Exorcism Officers know that the Demon Exorcism Division once fought against demons and evil spirits.

In the current Great Shang realm, all monsters have been driven away, and it is generally difficult to see them again.

The sudden appearance of a demon before their eyes naturally filled the group of Iron Horse Demon Slayers with great curiosity.

Seeing the tiger turn and leave, the demon-slaying officers exchanged glances, somewhat wary.

Should we follow them?

"If we don't follow, it probably won't let us leave so easily."

"Let's follow it and see. Since this tiger saved us, it probably doesn't mean us any harm."

After thinking it over, the demon-slaying officers decided to follow them and see what was going on.

Following the tiger through the mountains and forests, they encountered many monsters along the way. With the tiger leading the way, these monsters were all respectful and dared not attack the demon-subduing officers.

Soon, deep in the Mangshan Mountains, a bamboo grove courtyard came into view.

The courtyard was extremely quiet and secluded. A handsome man was sitting in the courtyard, petting a cat and reading a book. The cat in his arms had one black eye and one white eye, and was obviously not an ordinary cat.

“Sir, I’ve brought them here,” the tiger said softly as it lay down beside the man.

Seeing that this powerful demon would obey the orders of the man before them, the demon-subduing officers were all very curious.

Who exactly is this person, that he possesses such great abilities?

"I just woke up and I already know about the filth that has been lurking in Mangshan all these years. When you go back, tell Qin Daorong that I have cleaned up this place and there is no need to send any more Demon-Subduing Officers." The man raised his head and said softly to the Demon-Subduing Officers.

His voice, like celestial music, entered everyone's minds, echoing endlessly and unforgettable.
