Thus, after arranging everything, Qianchong Zhenjun left the secret realm and began his journey across realms.
One day, he arrived at the Forsaken Continent, at the original site of the primitive Demon Clan's city—the present-day "Sacred Demon City."
In the city, Qianchong Zhenjun encountered a Spirit Transformation cultivator of the primitive Demon Clan. To him, this was just an insignificant little cultivator.
Although he had concealed his cultivation, in order to act conveniently and deter some petty individuals, he would occasionally reveal a trace of his aura.
Qianchong Zhenjun only planned to stay for a short while before leaving directly. However, the entry of a cultivator of such a level into "Sacred Demon City" would naturally alert the city's experts.
That Spirit Transformation cultivator from the "Sacred Demon Palace" came knocking.
Firstly, of course, was to determine the other party's purpose for coming here. If such a cultivator had malicious intentions, it would be a huge problem.
Secondly, it was with the intention of making friends. High-level foreign cultivators were rarely encountered.
They often traveled across realms and usually had many good things on them, some of which might only be things heard of in rumors. If they could barter, it would be extremely beneficial for both sides.
Initially, Qianchong Zhenjun was just being perfunctory with the other party, paying no mind to it. He was just trying to gather some information in the city.
A Spirit Transformation cultivator, to him, was someone he could crush a whole bunch of with a flick of his wrist. However, taking the opportunity to gather the information he needed was also feasible.
Unexpectedly, during his casual chat with the other party, he found that this person had a faintly familiar aura, which made Qianchong Zhenjun a little strange.
With his methods, he quickly figured out that this Spirit Transformation cultivator was actually a descendant of Zhu Tian from the Ding Fire Immortal Sect. That is to say, this little cultivator had a slight connection with the Five Immortal Sects.
Although he and Zhu Tian were many years apart in age, there was actually some blood relationship.
Not all in the Five Immortal Sects were human cultivators. For example, Zhu Tian from the Ding Fire Immortal Sect and Ning Ke from the Yi Wood Immortal Sect were not human.
Since he had met a descendant of Zhu Tian, Qianchong Zhenjun thought for a moment and, for Zhu Tian's sake, pretended to take out two items and exchanged them for so-called "treasures" that he didn't need at all.
How could that demon Spirit Transformation cultivator know the reason for this? He was naturally overjoyed, feeling that this trip had really been worthwhile.
Those two items were exactly what he needed for his current cultivation.
Thus, in his excitement, he began to discuss the Dao with Qianchong Zhenjun. This time, Qianchong Zhenjun was really just being perfunctory.
For him to exchange two raw materials with the other party was already the greatest gift he could give for Zhu Tian's sake.
But he would definitely not give any further guidance. It was just that the other party felt that their conversation was very "congenial."
After discussing the Dao for a while, that Spirit Transformation cultivator saw that the other party seemed unwilling to talk much due to his cultivation method, so he began to talk about some of the things he had seen and heard in the cultivation world.
Qianchong Zhenjun felt extremely bored. He then casually mentioned the rumored "Pangu Sand."
His original intention was just to say a few words casually, not believing that such a treasure could appear on the Forsaken Continent.
To Qianchong Zhenjun's great surprise, that demon cultivator, upon hearing this, actually said that he knew some news about "Pangu Sand."
This time, it was Qianchong Zhenjun's turn to be overjoyed. He immediately wanted to exchange for this piece of information, but was refused by the other party.
He said that "Pangu Sand" was too important and was related to the whereabouts of a good friend of his, so even if he were offered more treasures, he still couldn't reveal it.
This made Qianchong Zhenjun a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. He had looked after the other party, but that demon Spirit Transformation cultivator didn't know it.
The other party thought it was just an equal exchange, so he had no intention of feeling indebted.
After that Spirit Transformation cultivator left, Qianchong Zhenjun considered whether to go and soul-search him at night. With his cultivation, he could definitely do it without anyone knowing, and it wouldn't cause any discomfort to the other party.
But there was a problem here, which was this person's relationship with Zhu Tian. If Zhu Tian found out in the future that he had made a move against a junior, it would be inevitable...
Just as Qianchong Zhenjun was considering how to handle this matter, the Black Demon Clan's army had already broken through the front line and had come straight to the outside of "Sacred Demon City."
For a time, experts from both demon clans came out in full force, including that descendant of Zhu Tian, who also went out of the city to fight.
Qianchong Zhenjun was thinking that if the other party was in a crisis, and if he were to save him once and let him know, then it would be enough to exchange for the information.
This way, at least he wouldn't be criticized by Zhu Tian after he found out.
Thus, Qianchong Zhenjun stayed in the city and secretly observed the battle between the two sides.
The situation at that time was that the "Sacred Demon City" side was no match for Xiahou Shangxie's side at all. There were three additional foreign Spirit Transformation cultivators on that side.
These experts were all helpers secretly invited by Xiahou Shangxie. That was the final trump card, which could play a decisive role in a battle at a critical moment.
And the "Sacred Demon City" side also seemed to sense the crisis. Under the siege of the Black Demon Clan's army, they also began to lobby the Nascent Soul and above cultivators of the major sects in the city, hoping to attract important external aid.
That era was an era of emerging experts, and there were still many masters in the city.
And someone like Qianchong Zhenjun naturally became the first batch of cultivators who needed to be wooed with huge benefits.
The one who came to lobby him was that descendant of Zhu Tian. After all, the two had met once before.
Qianchong Zhenjun had no intention of getting involved in the other party's racial war, but the moment he saw that descendant of the demon clan, he immediately changed his mind.
He proposed that he could make a move, but he needed to get the news about "Pangu Sand."
He did this, of course, because he didn't want to really go and soul-search him, so as to avoid Zhu Tian having any hard feelings in the future.
After hearing Qianchong Zhenjun's condition, the descendant of Zhu Tian immediately refused and then left directly.
Qianchong Zhenjun was not annoyed by this. The more it was like this, the happier he was in his heart, which meant that the authenticity of the other party's news was very high.
Of course, he could still negotiate with the other party calmly now because he was keeping track of the other party's whereabouts at all times. If they really couldn't reach an agreement in the end, for the sake of "Pangu Sand," he would have to "bully the small."
Subsequently, the battle between the two sides became more and more intense. In the end, even if there were experts in the city willing to make a move, "Sacred Demon City" was still beaten to a dilapidated state, and the situation had reached its final moment.
Under Qianchong Zhenjun's secret observation, that descendant of Zhu Tian, a Spirit Transformation cultivator, after participating in another secret gathering of the top cultivators of "Sacred Demon City," came to his lodging place again.
This time, that demon cultivator helplessly indicated that he could provide information about "Pangu Sand" in exchange, but he required Qianchong Zhenjun to at least hold off one mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator in the battle tomorrow.
Qianchong Zhenjun knew that "Sacred Demon City" was already planning to kick off the final decisive battle.
He thought for a moment and decided that since he was going to make a move, he might as well resolve this matter completely and then let the other party hand over the information willingly. Anyway, he would be leaving soon after.
Thus, after seeing off the descendant of Zhu Tian, he quietly left the city and went directly to Xiahou Shangxie's military camp where six Spirit Transformation cultivators were present.
He easily found Xiahou Shangxie's military tent, casually left a jade slip, demanding that he immediately withdraw his troops, otherwise he would come back to "visit" him again.
After that, he returned to "Sacred Demon City" without anyone knowing and directly sent a voice transmission to the descendant of Zhu Tian.
He clearly told him that, if nothing unexpected happened, the Black Demon Clan would retreat tomorrow, and he hoped that he would not go back on his word then.
After receiving Qianchong Zhenjun's voice transmission, that descendant of Zhu Tian thought the other party had gone mad, but thinking that that person was after all a Spirit Transformation cultivator, he didn't dare to get angry.
But in his heart, he no longer wanted to cooperate with the other party, so he didn't even reply.
Before the sky was bright, the experts in the city sensed powerful auras soaring into the sky from the Black Demon Clan camp outside the city, a tense atmosphere of an impending great battle.
Everyone thought the final great battle was about to begin and made preparations one after another.
Not long after, a jaw-dropping scene appeared. The Black Demon Clan army suddenly packed up their camp and retreated rapidly to the rear.
This made the cultivators of "Sacred Demon City" think that the other party was deliberately feigning a retreat, employing some kind of trickery.
But then they thought again and felt it was impossible. They had already reached a dead end. The final decisive battle was unavoidable. What kind of trickery could there be?
At this time, that descendant of Zhu Tian suddenly thought of Qianchong Zhenjun's voice transmission from last night. He was immediately shocked and immediately told this news to the other few top experts of the demon clan.
After hearing this, the faces of the few people became extremely solemn. At this time, they vaguely guessed that a cultivator with heaven-defying cultivation had come to "Sacred Demon City."
Thus, this time, no one could sit still any longer and immediately went to visit Qianchong Zhenjun together.
And at this time, Qianchong Zhenjun no longer concealed his cultivation. When those few top experts of this world came over, he just slightly released his aura, and everything else was self-evident.
He also smoothly obtained the news about "Pangu Sand." That descendant of Zhu Tian knew that there must be a reason why the other party did not take it by force.
He hesitated for a moment and still cautiously asked a question. And Qianchong Zhenjun just said lightly, "I have some connection with an elder of yours!" and said no more.
Only then did the few top experts of "Sacred Demon City" suddenly understand, but who would dare to continue asking?
Seeing that Qianchong Zhenjun was about to leave immediately after getting the news, the few people quickly transmitted their voices for a few sentences, and it was still the descendant of Zhu Tian who spoke.
At this time, "Sacred Demon City" was already severely damaged, and the role of the sect-protecting grand formation in this battle was also less than satisfactory.
Now, although they couldn't see through Qianchong Zhenjun's true cultivation, just by his own power, he had forced the arrogant and condescending Xiahou Shangxie to flee overnight.
They already had a guess in their hearts. The cultivation of this Daoist in front of them was at least at the Void Refining realm that should only exist in the upper realm, or even higher.
In addition, the other party actually had some connection with a certain great power in their clan. They naturally wanted to ask the other party to help them one more time.
So, they wanted to ask Qianchong Zhenjun to make a move once and help him reinforce the sect-protecting grand formation to resist Xiahou Shangxie.
Qianchong Zhenjun was already very unhappy about this. The demon cultivators were getting a bit too greedy.
Although his face showed no expression, his aura had begun to turn cold.
The few demon experts were so scared that they directly prostrated themselves on the ground. These cultivators who could decide the life and death of countless beings in this world with a wave of their hand were trembling like ants at that moment.
But they still kept begging Qianchong Zhenjun. They knew that once this person left, Xiahou Shangxie would definitely come back to probe the situation.
If they found out that their side had lost its strong support, they would definitely launch a large-scale attack again. At that time, what resistance would the primitive Demon Clan have? Their inheritance would surely be broken.
Qianchong Zhenjun listened to their pleas and looked at their appearance of wanting to continue their race. He suddenly thought of some of the human cultivators he had seen on the Forsaken Continent.
He immediately thought of the Immortal Spirit Realm, where the status of human cultivators was not high. About eighty percent of them had ascended from the lower realms.
Because the innate talent and physical body of the human race were not too strong, as long as they could ascend to the upper realm, they were all powerful fighters with extremely strong personalities.
This kind of personality would not be swayed by others, so human cultivators were not liked by the native cultivators of the Immortal Spirit Realm and were often ostracized by other races.
The overall situation of human cultivators in the Immortal Spirit Realm was not too good.
