Cultivation: I Have a Golden Talisman

The changes in the Xuanyu Realm had little effect on Fang Cheng.

His purpose in coming to this realm was to hunt Tier Three Late Stage and even Tier Four Early Stage Celestial Demons to rapidly advance his Cultivation Realm.

As for the schemes of the four Tribulation Realm Ancestral Kings from the Mo Luo Realm, or the feuds and hatreds among the dozens of Demon Marquises in this realm, none of it mattered to him.

In other words, he was just here to watch the show.

If anyone or anything threatened him, he could simply activate the Ten Thousand Worlds Compass and return to the Red Profound Realm.

Besides, in addition to his Dream Spirit Incarnation, he also had three Five-stage Xuanhuang Cloud Smoke Talismans. As long as he didn’t run into a Tier Five Celestial Demon, he was perfectly safe.

Now that he had a beautiful concubine who could both warm his bed and act as a guide, what he had expected to be the tedious task of hunting Celestial Demons had gained a certain fragrant, romantic allure.

Since this place had numerous Demon Cities, Fang Cheng decided to find a place to settle down first before leisurely heading out to hunt demons.

...

In the sky, a Flame Lion pulled a massive, exquisite, and luxurious carriage, speeding beneath a layer of scarlet clouds.

This carriage was a Third-tier Magical Artifact that had the Beast Soul of a Tier Three Demon Beast sealed within. It was not only fast but also possessed an extraordinary presence.

The carriage’s interior was spacious and comfortable. Yan Shutong personally brewed a cup of Spirit Tea and brought it to Fang Cheng. Her voice was soft and pleasing to the ear. "My lord, this is the Green Pool Floating Snow Spirit Tea from the Profound Celestial Demon City. Please, enjoy."

The woman’s figure was full and captivating. Her eyes were as bright as stars, her brows were like strokes of ink, and her every move was filled with allure.

The two of them were currently heading toward Yan Shutong’s Cave Mansion.

Fang Cheng accepted the teacup. "Profound Celestial Demon City... that seems to be Marquis Li’s territory, doesn’t it? I hear Marquis Li is the second most powerful expert in the realm, and he has a blood feud with Marquis Yan."

Yan Shutong nodded lightly. "That’s right. Marquis Li is also a man of breathtaking talent. It’s just a shame he was born a century after Marquis Yan. Otherwise, he might have been the one to reign supreme over the Xuanyu Realm."

"There’s a rumor that Marquis Li is the son of Marquis Yan and a Feather Race cultivator. From a young age, Marquis Li was disregarded by his father and was ostracized and oppressed within the clan. His mother was even persecuted to death by Marquis Yan’s other concubines."

"Later, Marquis Li escaped the Demon City and found a surviving faction of the Feather Race. After that, his rise was meteoric."

Fang Cheng leisurely sipped his tea as he listened to Yan Shutong’s tale. ’This woman seems to know even more than the Life Soul Realm cultivator I used Soul Search on,’ he thought, his appreciation for her growing.

As they were chatting idly, over a hundred Celestial Demons burst forth from the thick, scarlet clouds in the distance.

These Celestial Demons were enormous, standing over a hundred feet tall. They had the faces of beasts, horns like an ox, and dark blue skin. Eight arms grew from their sides, and they exuded a powerful, overwhelming demonic aura.

The one in the lead was a Tier Three Mid Stage Celestial Demon, followed by six at the Tier Three Early Stage. The rest were all Tier Two.

This swarm of Celestial Demons descended from on high, filling more than half the sky as they flew rapidly toward Fang Cheng, as if something was chasing them.

"They’re Eight-Armed Cold Demons." Yan Shutong’s expression grew solemn as she glanced over.

The moment she finished speaking, a slender stream of light shot out from the carriage.

The light was impossibly fast. Even with her Late-stage Life Talisman Cultivation, all Yan Shutong could see was a fleeting afterimage.

She turned to look just in time to see the stream of light flash across the sky. An incomparably sharp ray of sword light pierced straight through the brow of the Tier Three Mid Stage Eight-Armed Cold Demon!

The next moment.

The stream of light shot out from the back of the Celestial Demon’s head and abruptly split into a hundred rays!

The hundred rays of light moved silently and methodically, quietly piercing through the Celestial Demons’ Protective Spiritual Light and drilling into their brows.

From a distance, the sight was strangely beautiful.

The hundred rays of light suddenly fanned out and then vanished, like a brief firework display.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred Celestial Demons fell dead from the sky!

Yan Shutong could hardly believe her eyes.

’That was a Tier Three Mid Stage Celestial Demon! How... how could it be so weak?’

She was left dumbfounded by what she had just witnessed. Her heart was shaken to its core, and the scene felt utterly surreal.

Before she could even collect her thoughts, she heard Fang Cheng make a soft sound of surprise.

A ring of Li Hen Demon Light spread out from the carriage. Wherever it passed, the bodies of the Eight-Armed Cold Demons ignited and turned to ash.

In their place, crystal-clear relics of varying sizes remained, suspended in the air like diamonds.

"Celestial Demon Relics..."

With a grasping motion of his hand, Fang Cheng pulled the hundred-odd Celestial Demon Relics into the carriage.

From the Soul Search he’d performed, he knew that these Celestial Demon Relics served as currency in this realm, much like Spirit Stones.

But that wasn’t what had surprised him. It was...

ROAR!

An earth-shattering roar echoed from within the scarlet clouds. Then, a thousand-foot-tall Celestial Demon with the head of an eagle and the body of a wolf burst out of the Demon Fog.

Behind it, a dense, overwhelming horde of Celestial Demons poured out of the scarlet clouds.

Among them were numerous Tier Three Celestial Demons!

There were also thousands upon thousands of Tier One and Tier Two Celestial Demons.

The Celestial Demon leading them was also at Tier Three Mid Stage.

No wonder those Eight-Armed Cold Demons had been fleeing so frantically toward them. They had run into a Demon Tide.

In the past, if Yan Shutong had encountered such a Demon Tide, her first instinct would have been to use the Celestial Demon Possession Technique and hide inside one of the demons.

But now, seeing Fang Cheng so unconcerned, she couldn’t help but feel nervous. ’This cultivator from the Li Hen Dojo is as bold as he is skilled,’ she thought.

"My lord, this Demon Tide looks quite large. Perhaps we should avoid it?" she couldn’t help but suggest.

But Fang Cheng seemed to have taken an interest. He smiled at her and said, "No need to rush."

He then formed a spell with his hands. The Li Hen Demon Light outside the carriage erupted, manifesting in the sky like a vast ocean that instantly blotted out the heavens.
