If nothing out of the ordinary happened, there would be an unexpected gain here.
A ray of starlight bloomed from Wang Yan's hand.
In that instant, a tiny astral vortex appeared in his palm. It spun and expanded a hundred times.
"Open!"
With one word, Wang Yan pressed his palm down. At the same time, he soared into the sky and stood there.
Bang!
With a loud explosion, the basin that covered an area of about a hundred miles completely collapsed!
The wind howled and dust flew everywhere.
A hundred-mile-wide, bottomless pit appeared in Wang Yan's sight.
"What happened?
Kid... what is this? "
Xiao Long, who had just arrived, froze and frowned. "How did you do this?"
"Did you sense anything?"
Faced with Wang Yan's irrelevant answer, Xiao Long was startled. He then snorted in disdain. His eyes lit up as he stared at the bottomless pit.
After a while, Xiao Long raised an eyebrow. His young face was filled with disbelief.
"This place is the remains of a sect, and it is well preserved."
Hearing this, Wang Yan was also startled. "Remains of a sect?
Well preserved? "
"Could it be that this valley used to be the site of a sect?"
Xiao Long nodded. "Based on the current situation, it shouldn't be wrong."
Then, he looked at Wang Yan eagerly. "Should we go down and check it out?"
"What do you think?"
Shrugging, Wang Yan stepped into the air and disappeared.
"What an impatient kid. But Master Long likes it."
With a flash of red light, the little dragon followed closely behind, disappearing without a trace.
...
The wind howled in his ears, but with the protection of the starlight shield, Wang Yan could see with his eyes open.
Everything around him was pitch black. But with Wang Yan's eyesight, everything became clear.
This pitch-black pit was unfathomably deep, and it looked as smooth as a mirror. It seemed to have been a passageway before.
However, no one knew what it was used for.
"Just now, Master Long sensed that there are sect ruins deep underground. If we want to know everything, we can only wait until we reach the bottom."
Xiao Long's voice rang out in his mind. Wang Yan nodded in response. Without another word, the two of them descended at full speed.
About a dozen breaths later, Wang Yan and Xiao Long finally landed.
"This is truly a completely different world."
Astral Power gathered in his eyes. No matter how dark it was, he could see everything clearly.
After looking around, Wang Yan could not help but click his tongue in wonder.
This place occupied an area of about a thousand miles, and the towering and magnificent buildings could be seen at any time.
Although many of them had become mottled and dilapidated in the long river of time, most of them were still intact.
"Over the endless years, this unknown sect must have been incomparably glorious. It was definitely a colossal existence."
Nodding his head in agreement, the little dragon started flying around.
Wang Yan looked around and made his way towards the most majestic palace.
A while later, Wang Yan stopped. He raised his head and looked at the huge board that seemed to be made of gold and jade. His brows gradually furrowed.
"Demonic … sect?"
The words on the board were complicated, so Wang Yan was uncertain.
"That's right, it's the demonic sect."
Before he knew it, Xiao Long had arrived beside Wang Yan. As he looked at the huge board, disbelief filled his eyes.
"Why would a demonic sect appear in such a barren miniature world?"
Xiao Long asked in doubt. His brows were tightly furrowed the entire time, as if he was very confused by this so-called 'demonic sect'.
It was as if something that should have happened had happened against all common sense.
"Why have I never heard of demonic sects before?
Not only have there been no records of demonic sects on the Eastern Continent, but even the entire Starsource Continent has never heard of them before? "
Xiao Long sneered. "Kid, you're still young. You haven't even eaten as much as Master Long."
"The world is so big that nothing is too strange. There are only things you can't think of, but nothing is impossible."
"For example, demonic sects. They were a renowned superpower in the ancient times when experts were everywhere. They dominated for a period of time, and very few sects could stop them."
Reaching there, Xiao Long let out a deep sigh. His gaze was no longer sharp, and it was gloomy.
Wang Yan failed to sense any of this. He asked with a frown, "Since demonic sects are so powerful, how did they end up like this?"
"Heh, why do you have so many questions?"
Xiao Long glanced at Wang Yan unhappily and sighed, "The reason why demonic sects are called demonic sects is because their method of cultivation is vastly different from the usual methods of cultivation."
"Everyone knows that martial cultivators cultivate by drawing the power of the stars in the surroundings into their dantian and refining it into stellar energy."
"However, demonic sects cultivate by directly absorbing the power of the stars. They do not refine it, nor do they store it in their dantian. They use it to charge through the one hundred and eight acupoints of the human body to refine their bodies."
Wang Yan's eyes immediately widened. Disbelief filled his face.
He had never heard of such a method of cultivation. It was basically unprecedented.
"It's exactly because of this that the people of demonic sects possess extremely powerful bodies. They're far more powerful than regular cultivators. A powerful demonic cultivator can take on three regular cultivators at the same level of cultivation alone."
"Perhaps it's because the cultivation method of demonic cultivators is not tolerated by the world, or perhaps demonic cultivators are just too powerful, so they've always been shunned by the self-proclaimed righteous cultivators."
"Every single so-called righteous cultivator will attack demonic cultivators directly without any hesitation when they come across them."
"In the ancient times, all the self-proclaimed righteous sects formed an alliance to destroy the demonic sects together."
Reaching there, Xiao Long paused slightly. He could not help but sigh as if he did not want to go on.
It was as if the memories of the demonic sects made him extremely sad.
"That war was an unprecedented one. There were mountains of corpses and seas of blood. It was hell on earth and the sky was dyed red with blood."
"In the end, though the demonic sects were destroyed, the alliance of the righteous sects also suffered heavy losses and never recovered."
Sighing, Xiao Long stared at the giant board that had the words "demonic sect" carved on it. "From then on, the demonic sects disappeared and the demonic cultivators disappeared without a trace."
"I didn't think that I would be able to witness the demonic sects' glory today. Though they have been destroyed, Master Long believes that demonic cultivators still exist in this world!"
Xiao Long's tone was very certain. His dim gaze once again became sharp and bright.
Seeing this, Wang Yan frowned. He wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he did not say anything.
"Young man, your opportunity has arrived. Who knows, maybe this place has the inheritance of the demonic sects."
"If you can cultivate both demonic and martial arts, your strength will increase exponentially!"
Xiao Long emphasized the last sentence, as if he was deliberately emphasizing it.
Hearing this, Wang Yan curled his lips. "Forget it. Demonic cultivators are not tolerated by heaven and earth. Everyone wants to kill them."
"If I cultivate the demonic sects, wouldn't I be jumping into a pit of fire and seeking my own death?"
But just as Wang Yan finished speaking, Xiao Long immediately jumped up and gave him a hard knock on the head.
"Foolish!
Rotten wood!
Idiot! "
Xiao Long shouted three times in a row, causing Wang Yan's mind to buzz.
