The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

"During Jade City, I analyzed the information of the Blood Demon Cult from the case files."

"Although I couldn't see the case files, these stories have been circulating in the city."

"As long as I can retell these stories, organize them into a book, it won't be much different from the case files, and maybe I can get a lead on the Blood Demon Cult."

"After all, the case files are just rough descriptions and speculations. The difference between what I write and the official records won't be much."

"With the ability of the Jade Tablet, it's not very difficult to deduce."

"So starting today, I will let the shadow paper people collect the stories that have been circulating in the streets and alleys, most of which should be strange events that have occurred."

As Li Qing was contemplating, the door of the Seven Treasures Pagoda opened, and a large number of people poured in, beginning to search for the books they wanted.

The shadow paper person mingling in the crowd touched all the books hidden in the shadows.

Whether it was a single copy or a mass print, none escaped his recording.

In just an hour, he had recorded all the books in the Seven Treasures Pagoda.

At the same time, there was a huge change in the information on the jade tablet.

Old Version

"Legends of the Northern Wilderness"

...(various information, totaling 3,500 volumes)

New Version

"Li Qing's Human Tribulation"

"The Blood Demon Cult set traps at the site of the True Teaching, luring independent cultivators and cultivating the bizarre."

"The Blood Demon Cult colludes with the Zhou family, aiming to destroy the Demon Suppression Palace within the Jixia Academy."

"The Demon Suppression Palace is a separate space specially built by the Jixia Academy to suppress the unbreakable anomalies in the world."

"These anomalies can only be worn down by time or die in mutual combat, all of which are terrifying beings with undying characteristics."

"Once the Demon Suppression Palace is destroyed, according to historical records, at least five kinds of monsters capable of destroying the entire city will be released."

"These monsters will break through all the formations and prohibitions of Dragon Path City from the inside, turning Dragon Path City into an undefended city."

"At that time, unknown monsters cultivated at the site of the True Teaching and members of the Blood Demon Cult will invade from the outside, coordinating inside and out, ultimately leading to the destruction of Dragon Path City."

"Zhou Suhua only has the cultivation of the Spiritual Consciousness Realm and does not have the ability to destroy the Demon Suppression Palace."

"She carries a kind of demon treasure bestowed by the Blood Demon Cult, which can be used to destroy the Blood Demon Palace."

"It is a kind of treasure adept at hiding, and can only successfully destroy the Demon Suppression Palace under specific conditions, without attracting the attention of many high-level members of the Jixia Academy."

"The ten hidden agents of the Demon Dao exist to coordinate with other conspiracies of the Blood Demon Cult."

"When the conspiracy is completed, Li Qing will meet his death, with no possibility of survival."

Looking at the content reenacted on the Jade Tablet, Li Qing took a deep breath, a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

"Very good, the crucial information is finally complete."

"Since the Demon Suppression Palace exists in the Jixia Academy, it is not something that a cultivator of the Demon Dao can easily infiltrate."

"Only Zhou Suhua, the mole, is likely to set up means to destroy the Demon Suppression Palace."

"So the key to breaking the situation lies in this Demon Suppression Palace."

"As long as I find this crucial demon treasure, most of their layout will be disrupted."

"But it seems that the Blood Demon Cult has other conspiracies that must be uncovered in their entirety, otherwise I might still be implicated."

"After writing down all their conspiracies and tricks, I'll think about how to crack them."

"So now, the first goal is to find the location of the Demon Suppression Palace."

Rising slightly, Li Qing left his room.

It was a very lively time outside, with students leisurely attending classes in the academy.

Li Qing quietly displayed his two different spells.

"The Six Senses Reaching the Sky and Investigating Myriad Paths" and "Myriad Dao Myriad Qi Domain" - one is passive information collection, and the other is active mastery of all Essence Qi, with the nature of exploration, able to perceive any different forces.

He had already visited the public areas of the Jixia Academy, but as for the mysterious Demon Suppression Palace, he estimated that it was either underground or fixed in an unknown time and space by some kind of power.

"Zhou Suhua definitely doesn't have the ability to enter the Demon Suppression Palace. If he wants to set up means, it should be outside the Demon Suppression Palace."

"As long as I find a force that is incongruous with the entire Jixia Academy, it may be something left by Zhou Suhua."

Li Qing began to stroll around, perceiving everything within a three-yard radius, every bit of Essence Qi fluctuation, or any abnormal aura, all escaping his perception.

Starting from the front garden of the Jixia Academy, he strolled leisurely, looking as if he was just taking a walk.

He greeted people he met along the way with a hearty hello.

Both of Li Qing's abilities were very peculiar, related to his own organ perception, and almost no one would notice them.

After a morning, he had already circled all the classrooms, living quarters, library, and lecture halls of the Jixia Academy.

Even the master's small building, he also circled outside, reflecting all the different unusual auras, especially those related to the Demon Dao.

In his mind, a three-dimensional exploration image formed, and by this time, he had arrived at the cafeteria and logistics area at the back.

The structures and items here were very chaotic, so Li Qing's search slowed down.

In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon, and he had arrived at the garden at the very back of the academy.

Here, Li Qing sensed a person.

Zhou Suhua appeared here, and Li Qing was instantly delighted.

"This guy showing up here means there's a problem."

"Li Xunyou? Are you taking a stroll?"

Zhou Suhua's face was filled with a faint smile, his whole person gentle and refined, showing no hint of animosity.

As if the previous incident had been completely smoothed over.

A smile appeared on Li Qing's face, "Yes, I've been staying in the academy every day recently, not daring to step out of the gate."

"I was afraid that Mr. Zhou would be upset and come looking for trouble."

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to actually catch me here, making me feel scared."

Zhou Suhua chuckled, "Li Xunyou, you're joking. After all, I am a teacher at the Jixia Academy."

"How could I do such a thing? Shouldn't the rules of the Jixia Academy still be followed?"

Li Qing smiled slightly, "Just kidding, Mr. Zhou's character is naturally trustworthy to me."

"Haha," the two laughed as if they were old friends.

"Then I'll continue my stroll. Goodbye, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Suhua nodded slightly, "Goodbye."

The two passed each other, and a fleeting cold gaze flashed in their eyes.

An inexplicable confrontation, mutual probing, both sly foxes with their own calculations.

"Let you be arrogant for a few more days, heh."

Li Qing's eyes were cold as he looked at the vast garden, covering an area of at least a hundred acres, with many tall trees, resembling a jungle.

"So, where is it?"
