Primordial Cultivator

Early in the morning, Yang Wei woke up as his eyes remained in the tall and black Pagoda.

"It has already been a long time since the Pagoda appeared…" Yang Wei mumbled softly as he stood up.

Afterward, he glanced around to see where Elder Jing had gone and saw her above a tree branch.

Kicking the ground lightly, Yang Wei propelled himself upward as he landed next to Elder Jing.

"Why are you wrinkling your brows, Jing Feng?" Yang Wei suddenly asked when he noticed her complexion.

Elder Jing didn't look at Yang Wei and merely kept her eyes in one particular direction.

"Do you remember what I said about Senior Zhong Guowei?" Elder Jing then asked.

'Senior Zhong Guowei?' Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly and was dazed since he could only remember he was an unreliable senior that made them do an overly complicated and difficult trial.

There was nothing good about Senior Zhong Guowei that Yang Wei could recall about so Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders.

"No, I do not remember what you have said about Senior Zhong Guowei," Yang Wei said in response to Elder Jing's question.

Elder Jing wasn't surprised by Yang Wei forgetting about Senior Zhong Guowei's past.

"Did you remember how awestruck I was before knowing how disgusting and terrible he was in person?" Elder Jing then asked.

"Un, you said something about him being renowned for something but I forgot about it." Yang Wei replied.

Elder Jing nodded and stared at Yang Wei with a solemn expression, "Senior Zhong Guowei was known for being a demon exterminator back in his era."

And she continued, "Hence, I'm afraid that this mysterious realm contains more hidden secrets than just a Pagoda… and I don't want my premonition to be true but there could be demons lurking in this realm."

Yang Wei's face was ashen at the possibility of demons lurking in here, the mysterious realm no less.

However, doubts start appearing in Yang Wei's mind as he found it ridiculous for them to only realize a demon could be living in the mysterious realm when this area has been opened for others for a long time already.

"Jing Feng, aren't you just overthinking things?" Yang Wei then asked, hoping to lighten the atmosphere.

"Maybe I am or maybe I'm just stating the facts," Elder Jing said and turned around to face Yang Wei.

"During the underground passage, besides the corpses… I managed to find some texts that are related to demons," Elder Jing then said, shocking Yang Wei as he didn't see any text related to the demons.

Elder Jing saw his doubtful look as she sighed before retrieving out a brownish-looking paper that had some holes in multiple areas.

Afterward. Elder Jing showed the paper for Yang Wei to see.

"This is the paper I managed to retrieve from a corpse before we burn them into ashes," Elder Jing said and pointed at a particular line.

Yang Wei glanced at the line but was confused as the language it used was different from what he learned.

"What kind of language is this?" Yang Wei then asked.

"It's an ancient language from the past and not many people would know how to read it." Elder Jing said, without giving any more details about how she could identify the ancient text with one glance.

Yang Wei didn't pry further and asked another question, "What does the ancient text say?"

"The ancient text stated that they are currently in the underground passage, hiding from the demons." Elder Jing said and continued.

"The demons have been resurrected and are repopulating themselves in secret. Please, may heaven bless us with mercy from these horrific creatures."

Once Elder Jing finished translating the ancient text for Yang Wei, he was already shocked by this information.

"Jing Feng, when are we leaving this mysterious realm?" Yang Wei quickly asked as they need to get out of the mysterious realm as quickly as possible.

There was no point in risking their lives in fighting demons when they could be in the outside world, safe from the demons.

After all, Elder Jing has mentioned that no one within the mysterious realm can head outside, meaning the magical beasts and even the demons are restricted to stay in the mysterious realm for the rest of their lives.

Alas, Elder Jing shook her head and said, "The mysterious realm usually kicks everyone out in about 1 week now but there has been zero change in the environment that indicates the eviction."

And she continued, "I'm just afraid that this year, the mysterious realm is going to cause an uproar in this world."

Elder Jing was worried that the demons were really here and if they somehow managed to find a way to the outside world, then the cultivation world would become a nightmare for everyone.

Demons are extremely hard to kill and with their high regenerative ability, it is near impossible to fight against them unless one has a technique that specifically targets demons.

'Sigh, if only there weren't greedy cultivators and caused the technique to become lost then I wouldn't have been troubled with this information.'

Elder Jing sighed inwardly when there is no longer any available technique that deals with the demons in this world anymore, or at least that's what she knew.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei was busy pondering on what to do if the demons truly appeared like Elder Jing has jinxed on.

'I only came here to try and improve my cultivation base…' Yang Wei cried inwardly when he became dragged in all these grand schemes of things that were beyond his reach.

He was only a lowly Qi Condensation realm yet it seemed like heaven wanted him to fight against people in the Nascent Soul realm constantly.

"What did I do to offend heaven? Is it because I cursed at them and said I would not yield to them?" Yang Wei mumbled softly as he looked up at the sky, hoping that it wasn't because of his remark.
