Su Chen admitted that when he first came here, he had the resolve to guard the gates of hell alone.
However, after gaining a preliminary understanding of the situation, Su Chen's anxious heart was finally at ease.
As long as he remained vigilant at all times, did not get bewitched by the demons, and did not walk out of the boundary, he would be invincible.
These demons were each more powerful than the other. Even the weakest demon could easily crush him.
However … under the illumination of the Soul Lamp, they were not even qualified to stand up to Su Chen.
With such an absolute advantage, what did Su Chen have to fear?
Bold but careful!
As long as he followed this rule, Su Chen could easily spend half a year here.
He did not even intend to extort many treasures from these demons. Under the premise of ensuring his own safety, he would be lucky if he could earn anything. If he could not, it did not matter. He would just treat it as cultivation.
As long as he had a good attitude, Su Chen did not need to fear these demons. He just needed to treat them as bugs and trash in the dark.
Are you very strong?
I have meat to eat.
Do you have countless treasures to count?
I have meat to eat.
Were you once the great demons who could summon the wind and summon the rain?
However, that was already in the past. After being imprisoned for so many years, if he did not learn to be more honest, then he would really be incurable.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Su Chen patted his stomach and began to take out a pen and paper. He concentrated on copying the Divine Runes contained in the boundary around him.
"What a complicated structure. Even copying it is so difficult."
"Ordinary Divine Runes can be mastered with the Eight Strokes of Yong. However, the Divine Runes here have thousands of structures. Different structures can form new ones. If I continue to deduce it, it can be said that there are billions of changes. With my current strength, even if I use up the power of the sea, I will not be able to understand even one ten-thousandth of it."
"However, what I do not lack the most now is time. As long as I continue to copy, imitate, and learn, I will be able to master the changes of these Divine Runes sooner or later."
Just as Su Chen was diligently studying the mysteries of the divine inscriptions, the surrounding Evil Demons were whispering to each other.
"This brat isn't simple at all. He's able to compose himself and study Divine Inscriptions under the pressure of so many Greater Demons. He's definitely not someone to be trifled with."
"This kid's aptitude is indeed not bad. Although his cultivation is very weak, his physique is extremely tyrannical, and his soul is also extremely sturdy. I originally thought that in today's Immortal Cultivation World, it would be very difficult for such a gifted genius to appear. Who would have thought that I would still meet one. It seems that today's Immortal Cultivation World has not regressed much."
"It's just a coincidence that a genius has appeared. It has been three hundred thousand years since anyone dared to challenge the Mirage Dao. Back then, the Mirage Dao was so lively. Saints, Heaven's Equal, appeared one after another. Divine Kings should have appeared one after another. The Saint Kings would also descend once every hundred thousand years.
Think about it, how many years has it been since a Sage King appeared? The last time a Godly King appeared was eight million years ago. "
"Old man, I've always been curious. How long have you been imprisoned in the Mirage Sect?"
"This old man has been here since the beginning of the Primordial Era."
"Old man, you're boasting again. The Primordial Era was more than ten billion years ago. Even the Great Emperor Pangu who had cultivated the Primordial Golden Body couldn't escape the corrosion of time. He died long ago. Although Nuwa created the reincarnation system, allowing all living beings to circulate in the world for eternity, they still couldn't escape the fate of death. That era has already disappeared in the passage of time. If this old man was a great figure from the Primordial Era, why would he be trapped in the Mirage Dao? He would have long been a Heavenly Emperor."
"It's up to you whether to believe it or not. When this old man and Hongjun Old Ancestor became sworn brothers, your ancestors were still single-celled organisms."
"Old man, since you're so awesome, then think of a way to deal with this brat and let us out."
"This old man is used to living in the Mirage Dao. I don't want to leave. If you want to leave, then think of a way yourself."

Three days later.
In front of Su Chen's hut, a charcoal fire was lit once again. A meter-long fat fish was being roasted on a large iron plate.
"How fragrant."
Su Chen chuckled as he looked at the dark area outside. He said, "Although this fish isn't some rare species, it's a fresh fish that I caught not long ago. The meat is called delicious. The meat can be roasted, and after eating, the fish bones can be boiled into a thick bone soup. That snow-white fish soup, if I taste it, I'd rather lose three years of my life."
"Brat, stop wasting time. Name a price."
"Wine … I want wine …"
"I want both wine and meat. I'll exchange a Saint artifact with you."
In a situation where there was no temptation, these demons might be able to resist. But after smelling the fragrance of meat and wine three days ago, that feeling was simply torture.
Moreover, Su Chen had put in so much effort in his performance. The scene of him eating large chunks of meat and drinking wine was deeply imprinted in the minds of every demon. They simply couldn't get rid of it.
I want to eat meat, I want to drink wine!
Who would have thought that these great demons who had once dominated the world and swept through a region, causing countless cultivators to tremble in fear, would actually be drooling over a roasted fish and a bottle of strong wine at this moment?
People, when they had something, they didn't cherish it. It was only when they lost it that they regretted it.
Seeing that the emotions were more or less stirred up, Su Chen said, "Take out all the things you want to trade. I'll screen them one by one. If I find that they've been tampered with, I'm sorry, but I won't be able to eat a single one. Also, don't take anything that's too expensive.
This brat … was smarter than a monkey!
He was forcing these great demons to supervise each other. Among so many demons, there were definitely some who wanted to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the situation to kill Su Chen. But there were also demons who really couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. Under such circumstances, who would play tricks and cause other demons who sincerely wanted to trade to lose their opportunity? That would definitely cause internal strife.
But even if they knew Su Chen's intentions, what was the use?
All the initiative was in Su Chen's hands.
When these demons fell step by step into Su Chen's food trap, they were destined to be at Su Chen's mercy.
"I'll go first. I'll use a piece of jade to trade with you. This jade is pure and transparent. It's a top-grade refining material that can be used to forge sacred artifacts. Because of its purity, it can't be contaminated. It's absolutely impossible to poison or impose curses on it."
"I also have this kind of thing. I can also trade."
"I have a page of scriptures that I stole from Spirit Mountain. I can use it as an exchange."
"I have a long-extinct divine medicine with the effect of reviving the dead."
"I have ten million spirit stones …"
