Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

The Swordsman flicked his sleeve and left, and with that, the live broadcast drew to a close.

The crowd was silent, their minds filled with the scenes that had just unfolded.

Shenxiao, Illusion Demon Lord, Beiming Longteng.

Murder... heart execution!

Although Shenxiao was fortunate to survive, taking the Demon-Slaying Immortal-Refining Sword from him was akin to killing him.

It might as well have been an execution of the heart, and yet, he did not get his wish to spill his blood on the other's body.

Joined by great momentum with sinister intent, such machinations were effortlessly broken by him.

As for how he seized the Demon-Slaying Immortal-Refining Sword... it no longer mattered.

What mattered was the current situation and the implications revealed by this live broadcast.

To first behead Beiming Longteng and then snatch the Demon-Slaying Immortal-Refining, the man's attitude spoke volumes.

Winning over some, suppressing others, old tricks, yet incredibly effective.

Those three, although not planning to be enemies of the world, would not tolerate demonic cultivators causing chaos like Beiming Longteng. Even if it meant waging an endless battle with demons like the Beiming Dragon Abyss, they would ruthlessly carry out executions.

This is true for both the Demon Path and the Righteous Path. As a disciple of the Mysterious Heaven Sword, Shenxiao's actions were not as vile as Beiming Longteng's, but for the benefit of his sect and the preservation of the Mysterious Heaven Cave Heaven, he had, both openly and secretly, gone against the great momentum.

Thus, he brought about this calamity upon himself; his lifebound immortal sword was seized, his Dao heart might not have shattered, but he was greatly shaken. If he could not break through this obstacle, his future would likely be overshadowed by that person.

This was suppression, against demonic beings like Beiming Longteng, and righteous beings like Shenxiao.

As for winning over...

"The broadcast has ended?"

"It's finally over!"

"Thank heavens, Amitabha, Boundless Heavenly Sovereign!"

Inside the Cave Mansion, collapsing onto the couch, the Demon Enchantress sighed in relief, her jade hand pressing against her heaving chest as if to calm the trepidation in her heart.

It was finally over.

This Li Xuanyuan... truly terrifying!

But thankfully, he was reasonable and had no intention of a bloodbath.

Otherwise...

"My lady!"

Just as the Demon Enchantress's thoughts were in turmoil, the Yin Yang Strategist also emerged from her bosom.

"This live broadcast has clarified the stance of those three: to respond to the Demon Catastrophe, the Cave Heavens must enter the world, and Blessed Lands must be revealed. It's imperative. Anyone who opposes this momentum is an enemy of those three, in a relentless battle to the death!"

"Even if they don't publicly oppose like the Mysterious Heaven Sword disciple, committing small acts secretly, they will receive a heavy blow, perhaps even an execution from him. This shows how determined the three are."

"My lady, do you wish to be Beiming Longteng or the Mysterious Heaven Sword disciple?"

"Your words..."

The Demon Enchantress glared, looking at the chattering Yin Yang Strategist: "Are you cursing me to death, or do you want to switch to a new master, just like the Demon-Slaying Immortal-Refining Sword?"

"Ce'er wouldn't dare!"

The Artifact Spirit responded helplessly to her words: "The end met by Beiming Longteng and the Mysterious Heaven Sword disciple cannot be wished upon you, my lady. Why not follow the tide?

Now that External Demons disrupt the world and the Heavenly Dao is generous with rewards, if you act as the Taoist from the Alliance Heavenly Tao does, the future promises the fruit of the Ninth Calamity True Immortal."

"Don't mention her, just hearing about her annoys me!"

The Demon Enchantress snorted coldly, her attitude softening: "Are you suggesting I imitate that woman, or become someone's servant?"

"There's no need for that, just follow the sequence of steps, go with the flow."

The Artifact Spirit explained: "Although that pressing person acts domineeringly, he doesn't leave without options. You, my lady, are precisely whom he seeks to win over. As long as you do not go against his grand momentum and continue smoothly with your broadcasts, you will be rewarded greatly."

"With your talents, my lady, coupled with this good fortune, attaining True Immortality is not far-fetched, even within reach."

"Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

The Artifact Spirit painted a beautiful picture with his words.

"True Immortal?"

The Demon Enchantress murmured softly, longing in her eyes.

Through the ages, countless cultivators have sought immortality, but how many can surpass the Nine Tribulations to attain the True Immortal fruit and wander the Three Realms, immortal and eternally youthful?

As a disciple of an Immortal Sect, she could aim for True Immortality, but it was just an aim.

The chance of immortality was still tenuous, still requiring countless efforts to turn that hope into reality.

The woman from the Alliance Heavenly Tao is the best example. If she had already attained True Immortality, would she need to swear the Great Oath of the Alliance Heavenly that she would not become an immortal until the Demon Catastrophe subsided?

Although she was loath to admit it, the Demon Enchantress had to concede that, in terms of talent, the insufferable woman from the Alliance Heavenly Tao was a smidgen stronger than herself.

She had to make a great vow to seek the chance of True Immortality – what about her own chances...

"Can I really make it just by livestreaming?"

"Hate that! We both cultivate both Buddhism and Daoism, so why does that Alliance Heavenly Tao have a Heaven-Reaching method that can help resolve Blessed Lands, while my Joyous Union Sect has only this much?"

"No, I can't let her outdo me if we continue this way. I must outperform that woman!"

"What can I do..."

The Demon Enchantress, ruffling her hair without a care for her looks, pondered deeply until an idea sparked, and she suddenly looked up at the Yin Yang Strategist: "Say, if I apply to the Wandao School now, would they accept me?"

"Wandao School?"

"Apply?"

The Yin Yang Strategist looked puzzled: "My lady wishes to... be a student?"

"Be a student my foot, is there much merit in that?"

The Demon Enchantress retorted irritably: "I want to be a teacher, and crush that detestable woman from the Alliance Heavenly Tao!"

"This..."

...

"To take on the filth of a country is to be its pillar; to bear its worst omen is to be the king of the world!"

"In such dense tribulation energy, we've come to this state."

"If this succeeds, these three will surely become True Immortals in the future!"

"But there are more than a thousand True Immortals in the world, and still there are Emperor Venerables, Buddhas, Heaven Kings, Saint Lords..."

"With such a destiny, such dangers..."

Yuzhao's gaze was distant, faintly seeing into the future yet shrouded in chaos.
