[After returning to the Sword Pavilion, your expression was extremely grim.]
[You knew that in at most fifteen years, perhaps not even that long, Chu Wudi would come for you.]
[Left with no other choice, you ultimately turned your attention to the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art.]
[The Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art recorded a method of rapid advancement. Even if you abolished your cultivation and started over, you would still catch up to your current level very quickly.]
[Devouring all things, devouring the flesh and blood of cultivators to cultivate—such a method would inevitably result in you being hunted across the Canglan Realm.]
[That was also one of the reasons you had been unwilling to cultivate the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art before.]
[But now, you had no choice but to set your sights on the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art. If there was only one way for you to break through to the Mahayana Realm within fifteen years, this was it.]
[Whether you were killed by Chu Wudi or by the bizarre insects, death was still death.]
[After making up your mind, you rose and left the Sword Pavilion, preparing to make a trip to the Pill Sect.]
[You intended to use Qingzhou as the starting point of your rise, and the greatest threat to you there was the Qingyun Sect Master.]
[He was the only Void Refinement expert in Qingzhou. As long as Gu Xinyue broke through to Void Refinement, she would be able to develop steadily in Qingzhou.]
[Two days later, you arrived at the Pill Sect, found Gu Xinyue, and told her why you had come.]
[When Gu Xinyue saw the Void-Breaking Pill you took out, she agreed without the slightest hesitation.]
[Even though she did not even know your purpose in doing this, she was still willing to help you.]
[You took her with you and flew toward the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm. Gu Xinyue looked at you in confusion.]
["Little Junior Brother, didn't you say the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm had already been contaminated? Then what are we still going there for?"]
[In response to Gu Xinyue's question, you merely smiled faintly and did not explain much.]
["Don't worry, Senior Sister. There is a place there that has not been contaminated, and only I can enter it."]
[Gu Xinyue looked at you, half-believing and half-doubting. She truly had no idea that such a place existed in the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.]
[A month later, you arrived at the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm. Upon entering it, you sensed that the Spiritual Energy there had already been completely polluted.]
[Moreover, the formations there had also failed, and the bizarre insects could enter the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm at any time.]
[At this moment, there was not a single person inside the secret realm. You led Gu Xinyue all the way deeper in, and not long afterward, you arrived before the Bronze Divine Hall.]
["Little Junior Brother, is this Bronze Divine Hall the mysterious place you were talking about?"]
[You nodded and stepped forward. Under Gu Xinyue's shocked gaze, you directly pushed open the bronze doors with both hands.]
[You brought the still-stunned Gu Xinyue inside.]
["Senior Sister, hurry and break through. The Fallen Immortal Secret Realm has already fallen. This place may very well be occupied by sects like the Qingyun Sect soon."]
[Hearing this, a trace of gravity surfaced in Gu Xinyue's heart. She took out the Void-Breaking Pill and swallowed it immediately.]
[Seeing that Gu Xinyue had begun her secluded breakthrough, you also found a corner and began dispersing all of your cultivation.]
[The immortal body cultivated through the Azure Emperor Longevity Art and the demonic body cultivated through the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art conflicted to a certain extent, forcing you to disperse your cultivation.]
[Very quickly, your Late Deity Transformation cultivation fell directly to nothing. Your face turned deathly pale, and sweat beaded across your forehead.]
[After resting briefly, you began circulating the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art to absorb the Spiritual Energy inside the hall.]
[With the boost from the Demonic Dao Sacred Body, a small vortex quickly formed above your head and began greedily absorbing Spiritual Energy.]
[However, you did not dare absorb too recklessly, for fear of affecting Gu Xinyue, who was breaking through beside you.]
[In the third year, Gu Xinyue successfully broke through to Initial Void Refinement.]
[The moment she opened her eyes and saw you, she was immediately stunned by your condition.]
["Little Junior Brother, your cultivation?"]
[Looking at you, who possessed only Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivation, Gu Xinyue's face was filled with shock.]
["It's fine, Senior Sister. I dispersed my cultivation because I plan to cultivate again from the beginning!"]
[Afterward, you explained to Gu Xinyue your plan to recultivate the demonic path.]
[After hearing this, Gu Xinyue looked at you with a complicated expression.]
["Little Junior Brother, with your talent, your future achievements will absolutely surpass mine. There is no need for you to be this radical.]
["Although demonic cultivators advance very quickly, it is also very easy for them to lose control and fall into deviation."]
[You listened to Gu Xinyue's advice and knew that she truly meant well.]
[But the problem you were facing right now was being hunted by a Mahayana expert.]
[Time was life. You did not have so much time to cultivate in peace. As for whether you would fall into deviation or not, you had no time to think about it.]
[In less than two years, during the time Gu Xinyue spent breaking through to Void Refinement, you went directly from Layer 1 of Qi Refining to Qi Refining Great Perfection.]
[This speed could not be called anything but astonishing, though the main reason was still the pure Spiritual Energy inside the Bronze Divine Hall.]
[Now that Gu Xinyue had already broken through, the two of you prepared to leave the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.]
[The moment you stepped out of the Bronze Divine Hall, you saw a familiar scene.]
[You had not expected the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm to be discovered so quickly by the people of Qingzhou's three major sects. However, this differed somewhat from the previous simulation. You did not see any people from Youzhou.]
[It seemed that the forces of Youzhou had not yet discovered the abnormality here. Otherwise, they certainly would have come to claim a share of the spoils.]
[You had originally been troubled by how slow your cultivation speed was and by your inability to break through to Core Formation for so long. Now, however, cultivation resources had delivered themselves right to your doorstep.]
[You told Gu Xinyue to wait for you at the exit of the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, because you now needed to go cultivate.]
[After Gu Xinyue left, you looked at the disciples of the three major sects around the Bronze Divine Hall with a crazed expression, your tongue unable to resist licking the corner of your mouth.]
[Although your cultivation was gone, your comprehension of Sword Intent still remained. Relying on Taixu Sword Intent, it was still effortless for you to kill this group of bizarre insects in the Core Formation Realm.]
[You took out the Taixu Sword and, without any hesitation, began a slaughter.]
[Starting from the Bronze Divine Hall, the stench of blood spread throughout the entire Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.]
[Although these cultivators had been parasitized by bizarre insects, their true bodies were still human.]
[The blood essence of these humans could be devoured by you and transformed into Spiritual Energy.]
[For seven days, you slaughtered your way through the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm for a full seven days before finally killing every disciple of Qingzhou's three major sects.]
[You arrived before the secret realm's exit and, sensing your Late Core Formation cultivation, nodded in satisfaction.]
[Gu Xinyue looked at your bloodstained appearance, and her brows furrowed slightly.]
["Little Junior Brother, are you all right?"]
["Don't worry, Senior Sister. I'm doing great right now! Let's go out!"]
[After leaving the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, you saw the three Deity Transformation Elders leading the three major sects watching you warily.]
[Looking at the three Deity Transformation experts before you, the corners of your lips curled upward slightly.]
["Senior Sister, kill them."]
[Hearing this, Gu Xinyue did not hesitate and immediately struck, killing all three.]
[After the three died, you used the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art to devour their flesh and blood directly.]
[The flesh and blood of three Deity Transformation cultivators allowed you to break straight through to Core Formation Great Perfection.]
[Feeling this soaring cultivation speed, you could not help but become immersed in it.]
["Senior Sister, go to Heaven's Revelation Academy and find Senior Brother Fang first. I'll come find you later."]
[Gu Xinyue looked at you with deep concern. She had obtained the Void-Breaking Pill from you, so naturally she would help you, but seeing your current appearance, she was worried that you would fall into demonic deviation.]
["Little Junior Brother, you must remember not to fall into demonic deviation!"]
