The changes before him were too sudden, and Lingfeng momentarily couldn't react. What surprised Lingfeng even more was that the people in front of him were actually the gods of the Demon Realm, and he never expected to find himself in the Demon Realm.
"How did I end up here?" Lingfeng asked in confusion.
He felt as if just a second ago he was still at Spirit Sect, and now he had already arrived in the Demon Realm.
"Has the Demon King forgotten? You returned to the Demon Realm through the Gate of the Demon Realm," the old man said calmly.
Lingfeng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, suddenly recalling the wall filled with Demonic Nature. He had seen a large door before; he didn't expect it to be the gateway to the Demon Realm.
"We left a Gate of the Demon Realm at Spirit Sect. Only the reincarnation of the Demon King can see this door, and only the reincarnation of the Demon King can pass through it," the old man continued.
Lingfeng then realized that Master of the Demon Cult and others could not see the hidden door within the Demonic Nature, and he had coincidentally entered the Gate of the Demon Realm at the moment his soul was sealed.
"Now that the Demon King has returned to the Demon Realm, it's time to take revenge on Mortal Realm and Demon Cultivators!" The old man suddenly said something that left Lingfeng puzzled.
Lingfeng took a moment to organize his thoughts before asking, "Those Demon Cultivators at Spirit Sect worship demons; why do you want revenge?"
"Worship?" The old man scoffed disdainfully, his eyes filled with Killing Intent, gritting his teeth in hatred.
"The Demon King probably hasn't remembered who I am yet," the old man said softly again.
Lingfeng shook his head, looking at the old man who was tall and thin, with nothing particularly remarkable about him; he looked like a straw that couldn't withstand wind or rain.
The old man sighed gently and said slowly, "Ever since the battle with Yellow Emperor, the Demon King's soul was sealed. Only Virtuous Soul and Evil Soul managed to escape. As for us generals, after being killed, our souls had nowhere to rest, which is why we came to the Demon Realm."
Lingfeng was taken aback and looked at the old man again, but still couldn't recall anything.
The old man glanced at Lingfeng and said, "I am Kua Fu."
"Kua Fu!" Lingfeng's jaw nearly dropped to the ground as he hurriedly stepped forward to touch the old man's face, which was soft and squishy, like a wrinkled piece of cotton.
In Lingfeng's mind, Kua Fu was a figure from ancient times, strong and robust; how could he be just an old man?
Kua Fu seemed quite helpless and after a moment, he softly said, "After we arrived in the Demon Realm, the Yellow Emperor once sent people to persuade us to surrender and even helped us reconstruct our bodies. Unfortunately, our new bodies could not merge with our spiritual power and would gradually age over time. This was also a trap set by the Yellow Emperor to prevent us from rising up again. In desperation, we had no choice but to sign a contract with the Celestial Realm, promising never to invade the Celestial Realm or the Human Realm!"
"But the people from Spirit Sect want to help unify the three realms, and they have already found Demon Lord Reincarnation. As soon as Demon Lord Reincarnation awakens, they will launch an attack!" The more Lingfeng listened, the more confused he became; it felt like there was something fishy going on.
Kua Fu nodded and sighed lightly, "They are merely using the banner of unifying the Demon Realm to expand their own power. The people from Spirit Sect have hidden terrifying abilities; they even sealed the gates of the Demon Realm when many demon gods were unprepared. As a result, we have been unable to leave the Demon Realm or communicate with the Celestial Realm. To this day, we have been sealed for thousands of years!"
Upon hearing this, Lingfeng slumped down onto the bed. The Demon Realm was equivalent to what gods represented in the minds of Demon Cultivators, much like how the Celestial Realm was viewed by ordinary people. If Spirit Sect could permanently seal the gods of the Demon Realm within it, what terrifying power would they possess? At this rate, even without relying on Demon Lord Reincarnation's strength, they could easily conquer other eight states and unify the Cultivation Realm.
However, what puzzled Lingfeng was why they were so intent on awakening Demon Lord Reincarnation. Why did Spirit Sect still fail during the last Celestial and Demonic War?
A series of questions flooded Lingfeng's mind, making these matters even more perplexing—like a tangled mess with no clear beginning.
Seeing Lingfeng's puzzled expression, Kua Fu continued, "Before we were sealed, Spirit Priest from Spirit Sect prayed to us. They wanted to restore glory to the Demon Realm and unify the three realms. However, after thousands of years of peaceful living, we had lost our fighting spirit and only wished to live quietly in the Demon Realm without conflict. So I unhesitatingly rejected Spirit Priest's suggestion. But unexpectedly, they made such a decision on their own."
Lingfeng could see Kua Fu's helplessness and understood that he was indeed weary of war. He gently said, "Three hundred years ago, they launched a war."
Kua Fu reacted violently and looked at Lingfeng with a tense expression.
"But they failed. Although they do not know why they failed, that war has left them reclusive until now. However, they are currently searching for the Demon Relic, hoping to awaken the Demon Lord Reincarnation to further unify the Cultivation Realm."
Kua Fu shook his head and murmured, "The last failure was due to the assistance of the gods from the Divine Realm in the Cultivation Realm, and the Demon Lord Reincarnation had not fully awakened. This time, they intend to use the energy of the Demon Lord Reincarnation to seal off the Divine Realm, thereby further unifying the Three Realms and declaring themselves as gods!"
Regardless, Kua Fu is considered an ancient figure, and his deductions must be quite reliable.
After listening to Kua Fu's analysis, Lingfeng's mind suddenly became clear.
Based on the Mandala Demon Realm's ability to seal off the Demon Realm, they have considerable strength to break through the other eight states. However, if the other eight states have the assistance of the gods from the Divine Realm, then Spirit Sect's chances of victory would be slim.
Moreover, with benevolence at play, they could not bear to eradicate the Demon Cultivators of the Mandala Demon Realm, yet did not expect it would lead to the current situation.
In order to prevent the gods from the Divine Realm from intervening again, Spirit Sect decided to completely awaken the Demon Lord Reincarnation and then seal off the Divine Realm. This way, they could easily unify the Three Realms and subsequently declare themselves as gods.
However, if such a thing were to truly happen, there would inevitably be a significant reform across the Three Realms, and those most likely to suffer would be those in the middle position with little self-protection ability—the Human Realm. At that time, the land would surely be in chaos and countless lives would be lost.
Thinking of this, Lingfeng couldn't help but shiver.
Just as he was lost in thought, the door slowly opened, and two maidservants entered carrying some food. They placed a delicate table in front of Lingfeng and then set down the food on it.
Lingfeng's mind was filled with thoughts; seeing the delicious dishes before him had diminished his appetite.
Lingfeng sighed lightly and waved his hand towards those below, softly saying, "You may leave now."
The group responded in unison and then turned to leave.
Looking at Kua Fu's back, Lingfeng hurriedly called out, "Kua Fu, stay here."
"Yes!"
Lingfeng had Kua Fu sit on a chair, and the two fell into silence for a while.
"The Demon God has not fully regained his divine powers and still needs food to maintain his strength, so hurry up and eat these dishes while they're hot!" Kua Fu said calmly.
Lingfeng nodded and picked up a leg of an unknown animal, but when he brought it to his mouth, he found he couldn't eat it.
"Now that I have arrived in the Demon Realm, but the Demon Realm is sealed. How can I get out?" Lingfeng was genuinely worried about the safety of the Mortal Realm.
As the saying goes, one year in the upper realm equals one year on the ground. Although the Demon Realm is not the upper realm, it follows a similar principle. If Lingfeng lingered here for too long, ten days could mean ten years in the Mortal Realm. Even if the Spirit Sect had not found the Demon Relic, Monkey Head might already possess the ability to seal the Divine Realm.
Kua Fu seemed to understand Lingfeng's thoughts. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "While the Demon God was unconscious, I assessed your abilities. We found that you have already utilized most of your Demonic Nature. Although you cannot apply it all, combined with the energy of the gods in the Demon Realm, it should be sufficient to break the seal."
"Demonic Nature?" Lingfeng was confused; he hadn't even reached the level of Demon Cultivation, so how could he have any Demonic Nature?
Kua Fu nodded and said, "What you need to do now is eat your fill and then try to utilize your Demonic Nature. After that, we will use your Demonic Nature to set up a formation and attempt to break the seal."
Lingfeng was initially skeptical of Kua Fu's words, but no matter what, Kua Fu was an ancient god, and his words were likely true. Moreover, he had inexplicably ended up here, which could very well be due to absorbing the Demonic Nature collected by the Spirit Sect.
Lingfeng seemed to see hope and temporarily set aside his thoughts. He picked up the meat and began to eat heartily.
In just a short while, the table was already in disarray.
Kua Fu was momentarily stunned, looking somewhat at a loss at Lingfeng. Lingfeng, when not eating, would not touch anything, but when he decided to eat, he would finish everything.
After eating and drinking to his fill, Lingfeng suddenly felt invigorated. Stretching his limbs, a familiar sense of comfort surged through his entire body once again.
"Now that I've eaten, how are we going to test my abilities?" Lingfeng asked Kua Fu.
"Follow me for now!" Kua Fu said, leading Lingfeng outside.
As they stepped out the door, Lingfeng was immediately taken aback by the scene before him. In the dim sky above, various strange beasts were flying. Outside the palace stood bizarrely shaped creatures that were hard to tell apart from humans or magical beasts.
They all stared at Lingfeng with expressionless faces, yet he could feel their reverence.
Lingfeng smiled at them, but felt somewhat out of place.
"These are the gods of the demon realm. Each of them possesses different abilities. It was they who assisted the Demon God and the Yellow Emperor in a long war. After that war, some surrendered to the Yellow Emperor and secured a place in the divine realm; the rest are all awaiting the return of the Demon King," Kua Fu explained.
Lingfeng had always had a poor impression of the demon realm, but he never expected that in his past life he was Chiyou's Virtuous Soul, nor did he anticipate being regarded as the king of the demon realm.
