Wu Tian and Li Xingyun also walked outside the City Lord's Mansion.
Up until this point, they were both still somewhat dazed, clearly not having come to terms with what had happened.
They had inexplicably joined the Demon Slaying Palace?
If someone had told them this an hour ago, they wouldn't have believed it even in their wildest dreams.
Li Xingyun couldn't help but sigh, saying, "It looks like we're people of the Demon Slaying Palace now. If we work hard in the future, we can strive to reach the Jade Pendant level."
"At that point, which hidden aristocratic sect wouldn't I be able to walk all over?"
Wu Tian asked, "Jade Pendant? Is that very powerful? What exactly is the ranking system of this Demon Slaying Palace?"
Li Xingyun replied, "From what I understand, the Demon Slaying Palace has five levels in total: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Jade."
"And if one can reach Jade, then they are undoubtedly the top existence in the Demon Slaying Palace."
Wu Tian then asked, "Didn't you say your master is also in the Demon Slaying Palace?"
"As the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect, your master's abilities must be extraordinary, right? What level is your master then?"
Li Xingyun said, "I recall my master's current realm should be Golden Immortal, right? And his level in the Demon Slaying Palace should be Gold?"
"I'm stunned, Golden Immortal is only Gold?" Hearing Li Xingyun say this, Wu Tian was utterly shocked.
He couldn't help but be shocked, as Golden Immortal was already a very powerful level among immortal cultivators. Above that were only the Great Luo Golden Immortal and Immortal King realms.
As for beings like Immortal Kings, there were only ten in ancient times, and it's estimated there are none now.
Li Xingyun's master was essentially an existence just below the absolute peak.
If such a master was only Gold, then how terrifying must Platinum and Jade be?
For a moment, Wu Tian was lost in thought.
The strength of the Demon Slaying Palace was truly outrageous, no wonder they could become the greatest force against the demon race.
Such a power was absolutely the strongest force in the world.
If they even wanted to subvert the entire world, it wouldn't be too difficult.
Li Xingyun continued to smile, saying, "Otherwise, for a power like the Demon Slaying Palace, although nominally one needs to reach the Immortal realm to start, in reality, even if one truly reaches the Immortal realm, it's not as simple as just joining."
"Being able to join the Demon Slaying Palace is a great fortune for us. I never expected to encounter such good fortune when I descended the mountain this time."
"If my master knew, he would definitely be very happy."
Wu Tian could see that Li Xingyun genuinely wanted to join the Demon Slaying Palace. He smiled and said:
"Speaking of which, this is all thanks to your own abilities. If you hadn't fought alongside me back then, let alone joining the Demon Slaying Palace, even I would have surely died."
Li Xingyun pouted and said, "Oh, come on. Who are you? You are the inheritor of the Sacred Dragon. Even without me, you could have solved the problem yourself."
"Speaking of which, I think I was redundant. After all, if it weren't for me, perhaps you would have exploded long ago. Why wait until that moment?"
Wu Tian knew Li Xingyun was joking, so he just smiled and said, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about these irrelevant things."
"Where are you planning to go next? If you have nothing else to do, why not come over to my place?"
Li Xingyun shook his head and said, "No need. I originally wanted to wander around a bit more, but now that I've joined the Demon Slaying Palace, I need to go tell my master this good news right away."
"I was worried about what to do about my immortal root, but now it seems like my immortal root might also have a solution."
"When the time comes to brave the Gate of Life and Death, won't I be soaring?"
"Gate of Life and Death?" Hearing Li Xingyun's words, Wu Tian became curious. "What is the Gate of Life and Death?"
Li Xingyun said, "It's nothing, just a trial for our Heavenly Sword Divine Sect."
"I must enter it, otherwise, I might never be able to surpass my senior brother in this lifetime."
As he said this, Wu Tian could clearly sense a fervor ignite in the depths of Li Xingyun's eyes.
Clearly, that so-called senior brother must have some special relationship with him.
However, Wu Tian did not inquire further. This was a matter of the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect, and it had nothing to do with him.
Therefore, he nodded and said, "Alright, since you don't plan to stay here, I won't linger either. Let's say goodbye here."
Li Xingyun also nodded and said, "Okay, but the next time we meet, I will definitely have surpassed you. I'll show you how powerful I am then!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "No problem, I look forward to our next meeting!"
After saying that, the two lightly bumped their fists, and then Li Xingyun left.
Looking at Li Xingyun's retreating back, Wu Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
At first, he had simply disliked the unscrupulous merchant cheating people, so he stepped forward to help Li Xingyun.
But who could have imagined that such a thing would happen later?
So, fate is truly a wondrous thing.
After sighing, Wu Tian didn't intend to stay in the county town anymore. He found his car and drove towards Peach Blossom Village.
On the way, he passed the city square. At this moment, the entire square had been sealed off, and the situation inside was completely obscured.
However, Wu Tian understood that after such a terrible disaster had occurred inside, it must still be in ruins, with the bloodstains being difficult to wash away.
Thinking of so many innocent people losing their lives, Wu Tian's mood couldn't help but become somewhat sorrowful.
After a while, he drove back to the village and then eagerly returned to his room.
In fact, he had been restless for some time because he was about to experience a major event in his life.
Ascending to Immortality!
That's right, Ascending to Immortality!
Once he ascended, he would become a legendary immortal!
With a slight movement of his hand, a black pill appeared in his palm.
Black energy coiled around the pill, clearly the one that the Sacred Dragon had extracted from the demon's body!
From the Sacred Dragon's memories, Wu Tian learned that this pill was actually the demon's inner core.
This demon core was similar to a person's spiritual palace. A spiritual palace could generate spiritual energy, while a demon core could generate demonic energy.
For humans, a demon core was actually of little use.
If not handled properly, it could even be corroded by demonic energy, allowing the demon to possess the body and revive.
But for Wu Tian, this thing was an extremely precious treasure.
Because the Sacred Dragon could purify the demonic energy within it, transforming it into his own energy!
In other words, after consuming it, Wu Tian's strength would once again experience a new level of improvement!
