Chapter 034: Searching for True Love

A phoenix cry.

A demon from the Demon Clan ignited its bloodline and transformed into a fire phoenix, swirling towards Lu Ye to attack.

Sword light flashed.

The fire phoenix was cleaved in half, trees splintered, and sword qi vanished into the thicket, its reach unknown.

The demons occupying the Heavenly Spirit Pool went from brutal to dumbfounded, then to terrified, and finally collapsed in despair.

The figure donned in dark robes waved their sword qi effortlessly, unstoppable.

No demon could block even a sliver of sword qi.

Limbs were scattered everywhere, blood flowed freely, and the Heavenly Spirit Pool was stained a faint red.

Some demons completely broke down, wailing as they fled.

Lu Ye didn’t pursue; he felt it was a waste of time.

While slaying demons, he had spotted a few familiar faces, like the Little Golden Leopard King, the Iron-Eating Beast, and a descendant of the White Tiger bloodline.

These were all enemies from his past life, but in this life, it only took a single sword strike.

Lu Ye stepped into the Heavenly Spirit Pool.

He began cultivating.

The pool’s water rippled lightly, and massive, pure spiritual energy flowed continuously into Lu Ye’s body, a hint of satisfaction creeping across his face.

“Tian Wu King, Tian Wu King, it’s bad! A very powerful human has appeared at the Heavenly Spirit Pool; he single-handedly slaughtered many demons there! Please, Tian Wu King, help us take him down and avenge our demon brothers!” A demon scrambled back to the main force of demons, its voice urgent.

At this moment, Tian Wu was in human form. Upon reaching the Breaking Embryo Realm, demons could shapeshift into humans to accelerate their cultivation.

Human bodies are weak, unable to compare with the strength of demons and monsters, but humans have one thing that surpasses all other races: wisdom.

Wisdom can be called intelligence, or the radiance of enlightenment.

Through millions of years, generations of humans evolved themselves into the most suitable beings for cultivation.

In the past, human cultivation aimed to mimic demons and monsters, such as painting strange patterns around their bodies, gaining worship from others, transforming themselves into muscular giants, or even growing powerful limbs akin to demon beasts.

Now, whether demon or monster, everyone preferred to transform into humans and comprehend their methods.

Tian Wu was no exception, nor was he the only one.

Despite taking human form, Tian Wu still had sharp, knife-like limbs growing from his sides.

“You mean to say, a single person left all the demons at the Heavenly Spirit Pool dead?” Tian Wu asked.

“Yeah, that human was too strong! His sword light couldn’t be blocked by anyone; with one strike, he could kill dozens of demons! It’s terrifying!”

“So frightening…”

Suddenly, purple threads crawled up the reporting demon’s body. It grabbed its throat, eyes widening at Tian Wu.

The purple threads spread across its eyeballs.

This demon could utter no more words; its body stiffened, and the breath of life vanished entirely.

Dead.

“First, chase down Feng Wuxie; nothing is more important than this!” Tian Wu said coldly.

He was confident in his strength against any Tianjiao, but he never imagined there were still remnants of the Phoenix Clan in existence.

The Tian Wu clan fought fiercely, their power terrifying.

But when facing the Phoenix Clan, they were at a natural disadvantage; it was a predator-prey relationship. Even if Feng Wuxie was weaker, the moment Tian Wu laid eyes on him, he felt a shiver from the depths of his soul.

How could he bear that?

Feng Wuxie had to die.

Erase the Phoenix Clan from the heavens and earth entirely.

“Understood!”

A group of demons continued tracking Feng Wuxie’s trail.

Meanwhile, at the human gathering place known as the Enlightenment Wind Cliff, the wind blowing through could awaken one’s mind and inspire creativity, putting many into a state of sudden enlightenment.

There were already hundreds of humans gathered here, including powerful figures like Shangguan Wuchang, Liao Yijian from the Supreme Sword Sect, and Yun Tianxing from the Mountain River Pagoda Sect.

Many had encountered demons and monsters before and were aware of their strength.

Yet, they weren’t overly afraid.

Humans were strong, and that was no empty boast.

If you pulled out a random human, and a random demon or monster, in a fight, it was likely the human would survive.

However, demons and monsters enjoyed teaming up, which made things tricky.

Yue Hongling noticed the growing number of people and the presence of other strong individuals; she was preparing to help Lu Ye with what he needed to do last time.

Lu Ye wouldn’t have to tire himself out this time.

Now, she’d finally go see that person.

“If we can’t meet with red eyes, can we still blush, just like that hurriedly engraved forever together that beautiful rumor from that year…”

Yue Hongling hummed the song, the one her Senior Brother sang, which was about his hometown.

She had gone to his hometown but hadn’t heard that song.

But it was truly beautiful.

“The base has been successfully established; now I must leave,” Yue Hongling said to the crowd.

“Ah? What are you going to do?” the others asked, confused.

Is she planning to go treasure hunting alone?

“Searching for true love!” Yue Hongling happily lifted her face, her long ponytail swaying gently.

Searching… for true love…

“Turns out the Moon Fairy sees the Dao as true love; such a heart towards the Dao is indeed admirable!”

The crowd realized, in the end, it was still about hunting for treasures.

Well, if she’s going to look, then let her go find it; better than genuinely seeking true love.

“Hahaha, I suppose you can say it that way! Well then, everyone, until we meet again!”

Yue Hongling bid farewell to the group and quickly vanished.

According to timing, Feng Wuxie should be fleeing toward the second layer of space, where there exists a merciless battlefield, with many monsters and spirits nearby.

She herself had previously provoked the demon clan and was chased, thus encountering Feng Wuxie, who was similarly pursued by demons.

The two would soon help each other, fighting side by side, searching for ways to escape unscathed.

In this life, things were proceeding similarly.

But, intriguingly, in her past life, she wasn’t strong, whereas in this life, very few could defeat her.

Yue Hongling rushed towards the second layer of space.

Before long, she arrived at the second layer, her figure appearing at Blood Demon Mountain, where the colorless flower withstood the blood demon.

Here, a great battle had once occurred, and many from the demon race had died, tainted by demon blood, yet from this demon blood-tainted area sprang a divine flower, the Unstained Flower.

One could only marvel at how miraculous the heavens and earth were.

In terms of power, Yue Hongling could easily wipe out this bunch of demons and leisurely take the Unstained Flower and leave.

But that would stray from the path.

She suppressed her strength to a level similar to her past life, hastily fleeing as a pack of demons began to rush after her.

Feng Wuxie, here I come.
