第两千三百三十八章 分神期古魔

All sorts of difficulties and dangers did not distract Lin Xuan at this moment. He faced them head-on, ready to deal with whatever came his way.

Lin Xuan had cleared all杂念 from his mind, focusing solely on breaking through the bottleneck.

Regardless of how many demons and monsters were outside, his goal was simply to break through that bottleneck.

As for those two Core Formation Stage魔族, he had already set up a prearranged array to deal with them.

When the dwarf and Blood Demon entered the thick fog, the Ghostly Phantom Array immediately activated. The wind howled in anger, and the spirits roared in vengeance. The two demon cultivators were alarmed and quickly summoned their treasures.

Instantly, thunderous sounds echoed through the air, filling his ears.

At this moment, a few thousand miles away, a woman turned her head sharply.

Eastern Bracelet originally belonged to a prominent family in Heavenly Crane State. With her spirit root condition, she was at the top of her class in terms of talent and aptitude within the sect. Her beauty also made her a standout among the family.

However, as part of a mid-sized demon sect, there were limited resources available for cultivation techniques and treasures. Despite being favored by the family, Eastern Bracelet's share of the sect’s offerings was limited due to its size.

If she had stayed in the family, she would have been admired by ordinary disciples, but what use is that? Like a frog at the bottom of a well, she could never know how high the sky truly was or how vast the sea was.

How far could her immortal path extend?

Eastern Bracelet wasn't sure. She was not content with such a peaceful life.

As they say, jade uncarved cannot become a fine object; without experiencing storms, one can never achieve greatness.

Thus, Eastern Bracelet abandoned her family's comfortable life and ventured out into the world in search of opportunities to enhance her strength.

However, over a decade passed, and she found herself far from satisfied. The outside world was not as idyllic as it seemed. Without the sect’s support, she was little more than an independent cultivator. The dangers of the demon realm were numerous, and the thorns were even more so compared to the spirit realm.

She hadn’t encountered any opportunities; in fact, she had almost lost her life several times.

Eastern Bracelet felt increasingly迷茫 as the years passed without any significant gains.

Should she have made that restless choice back then? Should she return now?

But this thought only flashed through her mind before she dismissed it.

---

Return?

Apologize with humility or face ridicule and sarcasm from others.

After all, the elders in her family did not approve of her decision, nor did her peers. She ignored their advice and left on her own accord.

How could she return now?

Eastern Bracelet was born into a small family but remained proud and ambitious. She would never return unless she had achieved something remarkable, even if it meant dying outside the family rather than returning humbly to face gossip.

One must have ambition!

But while that was true, after years of wandering, she didn’t know what to do. Opportunities were elusive and hard to come by; waiting for luck seemed foolish.

Eastern Bracelet felt extremely迷茫 but decided not to give up just yet. She heard about Spirit Source Valley and decided to take a chance there.

Despite the many dangers associated with the valley, she was willing to risk it all. After traveling thousands of miles, she entered the valley months ago without any significant gains, only narrowly avoiding death several times.

While she didn’t want to give up hope entirely, she noticed an enormous celestial phenomenon in her line of sight.

Was this really heaven’s way of showing mercy?

Eastern Bracelet felt a mix of joy and excitement. She immediately flew towards the location where the anomaly appeared.

Others had also noticed the phenomenon. Hundreds of ancient demons surrounded Lin Xuan's abode, their faces filled with curiosity and greed.

As time passed, more demon cultivators arrived, their whispers filling the sky.

Eastern Bracelet’s heart sank as she realized so many others were here. Even if there was a precious treasure to be found, it would likely elude her.

But she didn’t want to leave just yet. After all, getting treasures required both strength and luck. Perhaps these fellows would fight over the prize, leaving her to reap the benefits...

Although she knew such an outcome was highly unlikely, people needed hope, right? There was no absolute certainty; maybe fate had a surprise in store for her.

Thus, Eastern Bracelet remained hidden in a corner, listening to the ancient demons’ conversations. Though she was only at the Core Formation late stage, her strength was insignificant among these demon cultivators, so they paid her no mind.

After a cup of tea, Eastern Bracelet pieced together the details of their idle chatter and finally understood the situation.

Indeed, it was quite unusual. These demons had come due to the natural anomaly, but what shocked them more was that someone had been waiting there overnight.

At first, many rushed in, only to disappear into the fog with no trace left behind. The only sounds were thunderous noises that soon faded away, never to be heard again.

The demons weren’t fools; after a few rounds of exploration, they knew something strange lay within the fog.

This wasn’t a safe place, but dangerous places often yielded the most precious treasures.

They hesitated to leave.

Some, however, were determined. They had such confidence in their abilities that they ignored warnings and ventured into the fog, only to vanish without a trace.

Finally, when a Core Formation late stage demon entered, he saw countless ghostly figures emerging from within. Simultaneously, immense spiritual pressure descended from the sky, accompanied by the angry shouts of that same old monster.

The surrounding demons were both nervous and hopeful as they watched this unfold. They feared losing the treasure but hoped for some outcome.

Unfortunately, even a Core Formation late stage demon could only stay inside for two cups of tea before the anomaly disappeared, leaving him trapped within without ever emerging.

All the demons were shocked. Suddenly, brilliant light streaked from afar, and two ancient demons arrived, heading straight towards this location.

This was not unusual in itself, but when their divine sense swept over them, all the other demons were stunned.

A Spirit Separation stage expert had arrived; an old demon of that level.
