Demon Cultivator: Heaven and earth are the cauldron, and all living beings are the medicine

Inside the Canglan Sect's training grounds, a clamorous atmosphere filled the air. The semi-finals of the sect competition had just concluded, with both sides heavily injured.

At this moment, Zheng Ling looked at Ning Lu, whose chest was continuously gushing blood, with immense horror in his heart.

"What technique did this kid use just now? Even I can't see through it. It eroded Gu Han's mind in just a breath. Truly terrifying!"

Zheng Ling's eyes widened as he muttered to himself.

The disciples watching from below were equally bewildered, their faces full of shock.

"Hey! Did any of you see clearly how Ning Lu made his move?"

"I don't know! I just saw his eyes turn scarlet, and then Gu Han went completely insane!"

"It seems this is Ning Lu's trump card! He's even stronger than we imagined!"

"It's truly unimaginable! At his age, perhaps only Gu Family's eldest son and the Third Prince can compare to him!"

Blood seeped continuously from the corner of Ning Lu's mouth. He clenched his teeth, sweat streaming down his face, and tightly pressed his hands against his chest. The young man looked down at his chest, but the blood still flowed uncontrollably.

"No! The Cangdao Secret Realm is about to open in less than half a month! Since I've already secured a spot, and I'm heavily injured, I might as well skip the finals of the sect competition!"

As the thought arose in Ning Lu's mind, he resolutely stood up, dragging his trembling body slowly towards Zheng Ling.

"Elder Zheng, this disciple is heavily injured! I fear I am unable to participate in the sect competition finals. I hope Elder will forgive me and allow me to abstain!" Ning Lu cupped his fist and bowed.

"Alright! No problem. You've suffered such severe injuries. There's no need to say more. Quickly go back and rest!"

Zheng Ling patted the young man's shoulder, his tone comforting.

The conversation between the two fell into the ears of the surrounding disciples, immediately triggering a thunderous wave of discussion.

"What? Ning Lu abstained?"

"That's such a pity! He won the semi-finals, but he's giving up the chance at the finals!"

"Alas, there's nothing that can be done about it! Look at Ning Lu's chest, it's still bleeding. With such severe injuries, he really can't fight anymore!"

……

"Cough, cough!"

Zheng Ling cleared his throat twice, and then his old and dignified voice echoed throughout the training grounds, loudly announcing the results of the competition.

"Because Ning Lu has forfeited his spot in the finals! The champion of this sect competition is His Highness, the Fifth Prince, Li Mo!"

Thus, the sect competition came to a complete end. The entire Canglan Sect began to conserve energy and prepare for the extremely important Cangdao Secret Realm.

……

Approximately half a month later, the gates of the Canglan Sect were bustling with noise. Hundreds upon hundreds of inner disciples bowed in unison, seeing off a group of people at the gate.

At the gate, the crowd was divided into three groups, each consisting of influential figures, forming long lines as they bid their final farewells to the sect, ready to depart for the Cangdao Secret Realm.

The first group was led by Elder Zheng Ling of the Canglan Sect, behind whom stood the talented disciples of the Canglan Sect, represented by Ning Lu.

The second group was led by Gu Yan, the head of the Gu family, behind whom were Gu Qin, the Gu family's number one genius, and a group of the Gu family's talented disciples.

The third group was led by the royal family's guardian, Gu Lian, behind whom stood the Third Prince Li Ke, the Fifth Prince Li Mo, who had just won the sect competition, and a group of the royal family's talented disciples.

These people were all about to go to the Cangdao Secret Realm to participate in the training. There were many opportunities in the secret realm, but at the same time, it was a place of nine deaths and one life. It was very likely that after this trip, they would be separated forever. Therefore, the Canglan Sect made such a big show.

However, hidden within the third group was also the figure of a beautiful young girl. The girl was none other than the Sixth Princess, Li Linglong. Her trip was not to participate in the training, but to see off her two brothers, as well as a young man who had saved her life.

"Alright! Go, go, don't make it so sentimental. This Sect Master doesn't expect you to make a big name for yourselves, but at least come back safely!"

The Canglan Sect Master, Li Xiao, waved his hand, and said loudly as he looked at the three groups of people.

"Sect Master! This old man will do everything in his power to bring all the disciples back safely!" Zheng Ling's face showed worry, as he cupped his fist and bowed towards Li Xiao.

After the words fell, everyone turned their heads, resolutely took a step forward, and went straight to the Cangdao Secret Realm.

At this moment, hundreds upon hundreds of disciples in the Canglan Sect knelt down together, their voices shaking the sky.

"Respectfully send off the lords!"

Cangyuan Kingdom and the boundary of the Demon Abyss Sea, Cangdao Secret Realm.

At this moment, two groups of people with great momentum had already guarded before the secret realm, quietly waiting for the secret realm to open.

These two groups of people came from the periphery of the Demon Abyss Sea, representing the Hengmo Sect and the Bloodwing Gate respectively.

Among them, the leader of one group was Mo Yan, the Great Elder of the Hengmo Sect, behind whom were Chen Xuan, the Young Sect Master of the Hengmo Sect, and a group of Hengmo Sect disciples.

The other group of people were all dressed in black robes, with a blood-colored eye carved on their foreheads.

The leader was Bloodshed, the First Protector of the Bloodwing Gate, behind whom stood a woman who showed all kinds of charms. This woman's name was Tang Xuan'er, who was also the Young Sect Master of the Bloodwing Gate.

After a while, Zheng Ling and his party also arrived late, reaching the gate of the Cangdao Secret Realm.

Ning Lu looked up and stared ahead.

A huge stone altar stood in front of him, and four huge stone pillars stood in each corner. Each stone pillar looked ordinary, but seemed to contain supreme power.

"Yo! Linglong?! Why are you also here at the Cangdao Secret Realm? Hehehe, do you miss this Young Sect Master?"

Chen Xuan saw Li Linglong in the crowd at a glance, immediately took a step forward, squinted his triangular eyes, and looked at the beautiful girl lewdly.

Li Linglong's face suddenly showed fear when she heard the words, and she hid behind Li Ke.

Li Ke touched the girl's small head to show comfort, then suddenly raised his head, his face full of anger.

"Chen Xuan! Are you looking to die? I haven't settled the score with you for kidnapping Linglong in Jiaolong Valley last time. You still dare to harass Linglong. Do you really think that there is no one in my royal family?!"

Li Ke immediately took a big step forward, holding the spear tightly in his hand, making bursts of thunder, roaring constantly, his eyes showing ferocity, as if he could rise up at any time.

Mo Yan, the Great Elder of the Hengmo Sect, saw this and immediately protected Chen Xuan behind him, his face gloomy, and he sneered repeatedly.

"Third Prince, what do you mean by this? The secret realm is about to open. Do you want to fight with our Hengmo Sect here?"

After the words fell, the Hengmo Sect's people all looked unkind, and their fighting spirit was high.

"Mo Yan, you are so old! You are still involved in the disputes between the younger generation. Aren't you ashamed! Now that the secret realm is about to open, our forces will temporarily cease fighting. All grievances will be resolved after the secret realm is over. How about it?"

Zheng Ling's eyes were cold. Although he was discussing on the surface, his tone was actually mixed with an unquestionable majesty.

"Okay!" Mo Yan sneered.

Although the major forces are at daggers drawn, they are not yet ready to take action. They just stand quietly in front of the secret realm, waiting for the secret realm to open.
