Chapter 58

<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>

The reaction of Duan Qianli was just like the first time Li Fenglan saw Endless Purgatory in Ling Buyan’s memory, even more shocked.

According to legend, the Du Sheng plaque was not made by anyone, but was a divine tool born naturally between heaven and earth. It is rumored that this thing originally existed in the human world, but once it appears, it can absorb all the spiritual energy, demonic energy, magic energy, and ghostly energy in the surrounding area, causing unrest in one way or another.

After causing several incidents, it was finally devoured by a dying fierce beast and brought to Endless Purgatory.

Many people in the cultivation world have heard of this legend. However, Duan Qianli had always thought that whether it was the Du Sheng plaque or the Endless Purgatory, they were just legends.

But now, everything appearing before him was saying otherwise.

At the moment when the Du Sheng plaque appeared, Duan Qianli and Duan Wannian could clearly feel that all the demonic energy around them had disappeared in an instant.

They were like entering a vacuum.

At the same time, the decaying wooden board in Ling Buyan’s hand revealed a little red light.

At this moment, Duan Qianli even temporarily forgot about his father.

The golden thirteen-section whip cut through the sky, and Ling Buyan heard a “whoosh” sound in his ear, but he didn’t even blink.

“Who are you? How could you have this thing?” Duan Qianli had never liked Ling Buyan before, and now he saw him as a dangerous person.

Ling Buyan slowly took the Du Sheng plaque back into his hand and glanced at Duan Qianli, saying with a smile, “Duan Jisu’s son, are you always this impolite?”

Even though they were out of the demon realm, those cultivators would directly refer to Duan Jisu by name.

But upon hearing Ling Buyan’s words, Duan Qianli actually felt…as if the other party’s tone was that of an elder who knew his father.

Wait, why am I lowering my status?!

Just as Ling Buyan finished speaking, the wooden plaque in his hand suddenly emitted a bright red light. Ling Buyan slowly released his grip and let the Du Sheng plaque fly out.

“Ah! The Du Sheng plaque!” Duan Wannian couldn’t help but exclaim when she saw this.

Duan Qianli also quickly acted, trying to use his thirteen-section whip to retrieve the Du Sheng plaque. They only knew that the Du Sheng plaque could absorb all the energy in the world, and seeing Ling Buyan’s actions, they immediately saw this behavior as a threat.

However, even the thirteen-section whip that symbolized the identity of the leader of the demon race could not stop the Du Sheng plaque.

In a blink of an eye, the Du Sheng plaque flew to Duan Jisu’s forehead.

“Father!” Duan Wannian made a move to rush over.

Before he could reach him, Cheng Huang suddenly jumped out of Li Fenglan’s arms and bit onto Duan Wannian’s large sleeve.

“You silly, Ling Buyan is feeding him!” Cheng Huang used his milky voice and said disdainfully.

Feeding him? After Cheng Huang’s reminder, Li Fenglan finally noticed that, as Cheng Huang said, the Du Sheng plaque, after flying onto Duan Jisu’s forehead, began to continuously release demon energy.

“So, all the demon energy absorbed by the Du Sheng plaque in the nearby area is being sent out by it?” Li Fenglan said unconsciously.

Cheng Huang slowly released Duan Wannian and crawled back into Li Fenglan’s arms.

Duan Qianli and Duan Wannian saw that it was indeed as Cheng Huang said, and demon energy kept pouring out of the Du Sheng plaque and into Duan Jisu’s body.

So much demon energy slowly filled Duan Jisu’s meridians and stimulated his demon heart.

“How…how is this possible…” Duan Qianli stared at Ling Buyan with wide eyes.

How did this person do it?

But Li Fenglan already had the answer in his heart.

“Our Master refined the Du Sheng plaque,” he said.

Unlike Duan Qianli, Li Fenglan knew that Ling Buyan had also been to the Endless Purgatory and even stayed there for a long time… He should have refined the Du Sheng plaque during that time!

When Li Fenglan said this, his expression could be described as “calm.”

However, only he knew that his mood was definitely not as calm as his expression showed when he spoke.

What exactly happened in the Endless Purgatory?

How did his master go to the Endless Purgatory?

How long did Ling Buyan stay there until he could refine the Du Sheng plaque?

Li Fenglan was full of doubts, while on the other side, Duan Qianli and Duan Wannian only had their father in their eyes at this moment.

They saw that as the demonic energy continuously flowed out from the Du Sheng plaque, the huge Bi Fang lying on the ground, which had not moved at all, suddenly trembled its eyelids lightly…

Duan Jisu, who had been asleep for thousands of years, was about to wake up!

Duan Qianli was born as the young master of the demonic clan, and the demonic clan attached great importance to family background.

As a young master, he has always had a strong sense of pride and honor towards his own family. As for his father Duan Jisu, he was the most powerful existence in Duan Qianli’s heart.

Until Duan Jisu was seriously injured and returned to his original form, and then slept here for thousands of years.

Duan Qianli finally knew that his father could also be injured.

“Be careful!” At this moment, Li Fenglan suddenly shouted loudly.

At the same time, he reached out and used his sleeve to cover the eyes of Cheng Huang.

As Li Fenglan’s voice fell, a burst of flames soared into the sky. The huge demon that had just been lying quietly on the ground suddenly burst into flames.

Even the surrounding mountains and rocks were melted by the flames.

The surrounding air was heated up as a result.

The radiance was extremely dazzling, much more formidable than Duan Qianli’s original form.

…So this is the power of a peak demon cultivator?

Indeed, much more formidable than Duan Qianli.

In fact, although Cheng Huang looked small, it was already a fully grown fierce beast. Its eyes were not afraid of the flames.

However, Cheng Huang, who had a little trick up its sleeve, did not say anything.

After having its eyes covered gently by Li Fenglan, Cheng Huang happily wriggled its body and then sniffed the fragrance on Li Fenglan’s clothes.

It felt like it must be the happiest fierce beast in the world!

After several loud bangs, Duan Jisu, who had been sleeping for a thousand years, finally opened his eyes completely. A ball of fire flashed by, and a huge golden bird flew into the sky in an instant.

At that moment, everyone living in the demon realm saw two suns appearing in the sky at the same time.

Their former demon lord had awakened!

All the demons who had seen Duan Jisu in the demon realm knelt down on the ground. Even Duan Qianli and Duan Wannian, who were in the forbidden area, also kneeled down towards the huge Bi Fang.

Although Duan Jisu had already flown into the sky, the rocks and stones ignited by its huge body had turned into magma. The scene before Li Fenglan was too shocking that his emotions couldn’t calm down for a long time.

As the former number one person in the cultivation world, Li Fenglan thought that he had already witnessed the most powerful force in the world. However, the people and events he encountered after being reborn were constantly refreshing Li Fenglan’s cognition.

Looking at the golden giant bird wrapped in flames flying in the sky, Li Fenglan’s feelings were unexpectedly complicated.

Duan Jisu flew several circles in the air, looking down at the land below and patrolling the world that belonged to him.

Just now, the Du Sheng plaque that had just awakened Duan Jisu flew back into Ling Buyan’s hands and disappeared.

In this vast demon realm, only Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan were standing.

At this moment, Li Fenglan suddenly saw that Duan Jisu, who had been hovering and dancing in the air just now, suddenly stopped! The huge demon pupils suddenly looked towards his direction.

Duan Jisu was indeed a demon who had lived for tens of thousands of years.

When he looked at him like this, Li Fenglan’s heart couldn’t help but feel cold. Not only him, but Duan Qianli and Duan Wannian also noticed that their father was looking towards Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan. Did he discover that these two were cultivators?

Just as Duan Wannian was about to speak and explain to his father, a dazzling golden light flashed by, and the huge golden bird that had been flying in the air just now turned into a human form in an instant.

A man in his thirties, dressed in golden clothes with white hair, appeared before them.

As a demon cultivator who had lived for tens of thousands of years, Duan Jisu’s temperament was particularly calm. His features were deep and resolute, and his white hair was tied up in a golden crown, making him look mature and imposing.

Upon closer inspection, although Duan Qianli’s features were six or seven points similar to his father’s, his temperament was far inferior to his father’s.

Duan Jisu had turned into a human form!

“Father, you’re finally awake!” Duan Wannian said excitedly.

At the same time as he stood on the mountain, Duan Jisu lifted his hand gently, indicating that his two children who had been kneeling on the ground could stand up.

However, before Duan Qianli and Duan Wannian could say anything, Duan Jisu’s gaze turned to Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan.

He frowned slightly, as if he was thinking or trying to recall something.

“Father, it’s him–” Although Duan Qianli disliked Ling Buyan and had a bit of an unpleasant encounter with him earlier, he felt it was necessary to tell his father who had woken him up.

After all, Li Fenglan was still here, and he needed to make a good impression.

But before Duan Qianli could finish his sentence, Duan Jisu coldly interrupted his son.

Duan Jisu slowly spoke, tentatively asking Ling Buyan, “May I ask…did you save me?”

“You?”

The appearance of this word surprised Li Fenglan.

He didn’t expect Duan Qianli’s father to be so polite. How did he raise a son like him?

At this moment, Li Fenglan was shocked, but the person who was even more shocked than him was Duan Qianli.

As mentioned before, a demon race often has several demon cubs in one litter, and just-born cubs will use cute behavior to gain the care of their elders.

This behavior often lasts for hundreds of years.

Duan Qianli and Duan Wannian are siblings, and except for the period of confusion just after birth, Duan Qianli was very disdainful of using cute behavior, while Duan Wannian was a master at it.

Therefore, with the comparison of his little sister, coupled with his inherently more mischievous personality, Duan Jisu, as a father, was particularly irritable when facing Duan Qianli.

If Duan Qianli remembered correctly, this seemed to be the first time he has heard the word “you” from his father’s mouth.

He had been asleep for thousands of years, so why did he suddenly become polite upon waking up?

But that wasn’t the most shocking thing.

The most terrifying thing was that after saying that sentence, Duan Jisu murmured, “It must be you…”

From Duan Jisu’s tone, Li Fenglan could hear surprise and disbelief.

Then, wearing a golden robe and a golden crown, Duan Jisu slowly knelt in front of Ling Buyan in front of everyone’s eyes.

“Father!” Duan Qianli was about to lose his mind. His father, Duan Jisu, was a great demon who had lived for tens of thousands of years!

Even peak period Li Fuyue might not be his opponent.

In the memory of Duan Qianli, Duan Jisu never regarded any demon or human as being worthy of his attention.

But now, this great demon actually knelt down in front of Ling Buyan!

“How can you kneel to him?” Duan Qianli couldn’t help but express his disbelief.

But Duan Jisu ignored his son and not only knelt down in front of Ling Buyan, but also raised his hands above his eyebrows and paused for at least three seconds. His movements were particularly solemn and serious, this was a complete act of kneeling and worship.

Then, amidst Duan Qianli’s questioning of the meaning of life, he kowtowed to Ling Buyan three times.

Did his father kowtow to Ling Buyan?

… Duan Qianli felt like his whole world had collapsed.

He was completely at a loss!

But Li Fenglan was thinking – this old demon lord was really different from Duan Qianli, who had deceived him even after he saved him!

He is really polite, and knows how to repay kindness…

With these big gestures, not only was Duan Qianli shock, even Li Fenglan was scared.

He was surprised to learn that the demon race was such a polite group.

Duan Qianli really embarrassed his father.

As for Duan Wannian, she was completely confused.

Even when she saw Duan Jisu kowtow to Ling Buyan, Duan Wannian was still hesitant – if her father paid respect to Ling Buyan, should she follow suit?

When Duan Jisu paid his respects to him, Ling Buyan’s gaze finally fell.

He did not seem surprised or frightened, unlike what Li Fenglan had imagined.

All Ling Buyan did was to simply nod after looking at the kneeling demon.

That’s it???

Not only did Duan Qianli feel this way, even Li Fenglan felt that his master’s behavior seemed too aloof.

But something even more unexpected happened. Duan Jisu still knelt on the ground and did not stand up. He showed an extremely surprised expression and then said to Ling Buyan, “I thought you were still in the Upper Realm…”

Wait, Upper Realm!

Upon hearing Duan Jisu’s words, Li Fenglan suddenly grasped the main point.

It seemed that Duan Jisu did not kneel because Ling Buyan saved him, but because they had already known each other?

… And in Duan Jisu’s eyes, Ling Buyan had already ascended to the Upper Realm?

Could it be that like Qiu Wanyou, Ling Buyan had forcibly suppressed his realm and come down from the Upper Realm? Over the years, many cultivators had ascended to the Upper Realm, but the Tianmian Palace had detailed records of them.

After returning to Tianmian Palace, could Li Fenglan find out his master’s true identity? Li Fenglan’s mind was wandering.

At this moment, Li Fenglan felt that he was one step closer to the truth.

“Upper Realm?” Upon hearing these two words, Duan Qianli was also confused.

Ling Buyan has always hidden his cultivation level in front of others, so Duan Qianli never knew his true realm. But with the title of “Immortal Lord” of the Tianmian Palace, Duan Qianli always thought that Ling Buyan’s cultivation level was only at the Demigod stage.

However, now he actually heard the words “Upper Realm” from his own father’s mouth.

If it weren’t for the fact that the person speaking these words was Duan Jisu, Duan Qianli would have thought he was joking.

Contrary to Duan Jisu’s expectations, Ling Buyan frowned when he heard the words “Ascension” and “Upper Realm”, and his expression was clearly displeased.

This displeasure was very restrained, but at this moment, everyone present felt a sense of fear in their hearts, even Cheng Huang.

After a while, Li Fenglan finally reacted. At this moment, Ling Buyan’s aura could be described as “dignified without anger”.

“Don’t mention the past,” Ling Buyan said after a moment of silence. “Get up.”

With Ling Buyan’s permission, Duan Jisu finally stood up.

“Is–” he seemed to want to say something, but the words were interrupted by Ling Buyan.

“Just call me Ling Buyan.”

“Huh?” Duan Jisu was clearly stunned.

At this moment, Li Fenglan and Duan Qianli finally guessed from their conversation that Duan Jisu’s almost slip of the tongue was another name for Ling Buyan…

Immortal Lord Ling?

Obviously it couldn’t be that…

So what did Duan Jisu want to call Ling Buyan?

Li Fenglan was deeply puzzled and couldn’t figure out how else others would address his master.

Just now, Duan Jisu even said the words “upper realm”. Could it be that this time he will call him “Immortal master”?

After standing up, Duan Jisu still didn’t pay attention to his two children.

He finally remembered that he was saved by Ling Buyan and kept thanking him, saying that if it weren’t for him, he might have continued to sleep for another hundred and eighty years.

But Ling Buyan didn’t really care about saving Duan Jisu.

He said that if he hadn’t taken action, Duan Jisu might have slept for another hundred and eighty years and would have woken up at the right time.

Perhaps it was because he couldn’t stand his high and mighty father was “currying favor” with Ling Buyan.

After holding back for a while, Duan Qianli finally interjected, “Father, you see, he has already said that if he doesn’t take action, you will only sleep for a few more years at most, why are you performing this grand gesture and saying these things? Haven’t you always said that our demonic clan’s reputation rests on the shoulders of our family members?”

Your current behavior is really shameful–this was what Duan Qianli didn’t say in the latter half of his sentence.

Upon hearing this, Duan Jisu gave Duan Qianli a glare.

Duan Qianli continued, “Besides, he didn’t save you for nothing. I promised him that if he could wake you up, I would give him our demonic clan’s Xuyou Jade.”

When he said this, there was a hint of reluctance in Duan Qianli’s tone.

In fact, according to his father Duan Jisu’s nature, Duan Qianli originally thought that after Duan Jisu was awakened, he would most likely break his promise and not give the Xuyou Jade to Ling Buyan.

At that time, he would just go along with the flow.

But after Duan Jisu woke up, Duan Qianli thought, forget Xuyou Jade, now if Ling Buyan says he’s idle and wants to try being the leader of the demonic clan, Duan Jisu might be happy and honored to hand over this position to him.

What is going on here!

Duan Qianli even began to suspect that Ling Buyan had done something sneaky when he saved Duan Jisu just now.

“Xuyou Jade?” Duan Jisu repeated these three words, then said a sentence that was just as Duan Qianli had expected, “Of course, of course! If you’re willing to take it away, it’s much better than it being a decoration here with us!”

Duan Qianli: “…”

Duan Wannian: “…Wow.”

Even before the others could react, Duan Jisu, who had been standing here just now, suddenly turned into a ball of golden light and disappeared before their eyes.

In just a few moments, the golden light appeared again, accompanied by a piece of rough jade that looked grayish on the surface.

“Is this the Xuyou Jade?” Li Fenglan asked unconsciously.

Although he knew that the Xuyou Jade was just a piece of rough jade, seeing its unremarkable appearance made Li Fenglan unable to resist asking.

Did Master really come to the Demon Clan for this piece of jade?

Upon hearing Li Fenglan’s skeptical tone, Duan Jisu, who had just landed back on the cliff and was talking to Ling Buyan, immediately frowned.

He had been too focused on his conversation with Ling Buyan and hadn’t noticed Li Fenglan until now. So it wasn’t until now that Duan Jisu saw that there was another human cultivator here whose cultivation level was unknown. And judging from his tone, he seemed to look down on the Xuyou Jade of the Demon Clan.

With this frown, Duan Qianli finally felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.

This was his father’s bad temper and irritability that he was familiar with!

However, before Duan Jisu could lose his temper, he saw Ling Buyan nod suddenly.

“Yes, although it may not look very impressive, it is a piece of rough jade that shares the same fate as the world and has the same lifespan as the sun and moon.” Ling Buyan’s tone was particularly gentle.

Duan Jisu, the former Demon Clan leader, had lived for tens of thousands of years. When he heard the tone in which Ling Buyan spoke to Li Fenglan, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

The words that had just been on the tip of his tongue were also swallowed back.

“Yes, that’s right.” Duan Jisu smiled kindly at Li Fenglan.

Li Fenglan: ???

…

After chatting for a while on the cliff, after about the time it took to burn an incense stick, Ling Buyan finally picked up the Xuyou Jade, saying that he had something to do and would go to the Demon Clan palace to catch up with Duan Jisu later.

Upon hearing Ling Buyan’s words, Duan Jisu naturally looked very honored.

After seeing Ling Buyan off, Duan Jisu finally remembered his two children.

He looked at Li Fenglan and said politely, “May I know how to address you, young friend?”

Before Li Fenglan could answer, Duan Qianli hurriedly interjected, “Fenglan is my good friend and confidant, and in the future will be–“

Before Duan Qianli could finish his sentence, Duan Jisu, who had been smiling at Li Fenglan just a moment ago, suddenly turned around and heavily knocked Duan Qianli on the shoulder with his hand, saying, “Don’t be disrespectful! Show some respect!”

Disrespectful?

Wait a minute, I am thousands of years older than Li Fenglan. Could it be that my father is feeling dizzy from sleeping too long and hasn’t recovered yet?”

The Whole Cultivation World Wants To Revive The Venerable Chapter 58

Chapter 58

<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>

The reaction of Duan Qianli was just like the first time Li Fenglan saw Endless Purgatory in Ling Buyan’s memory, even more shocked.

After causing several incidents, it was finally devoured by a dying fierce beast and brought to Endless Purgatory.

Many people in the cultivation world have heard of this legend. However, Duan Qianli had always thought that whether it was the Du Sheng plaque or the Endless Purgatory, they were just legends.

But now, everything appearing before him was saying otherwise.

At the moment when the Du Sheng plaque appeared, Duan Qianli and Duan Wannian could clearly feel that all the demonic energy around them had disappeared in an instant.

They were like entering a vacuum.

At the same time, the decaying wooden board in Ling Buyan's hand revealed a little red light.

At this moment, Duan Qianli even temporarily forgot about his father.

The golden thirteen-section whip cut through the sky, and Ling Buyan heard a "whoosh" sound in his ear, but he didn't even blink.

"Who are you? How could you have this thing?" Duan Qianli had never liked Ling Buyan before, and now he saw him as a dangerous person.

Ling Buyan slowly took the Du Sheng plaque back into his hand and glanced at Duan Qianli, saying with a smile, "Duan Jisu's son, are you always this impolite?"

Even though they were out of the demon realm, those cultivators would directly refer to Duan Jisu by name.

But upon hearing Ling Buyan's words, Duan Qianli actually felt...as if the other party's tone was that of an elder who knew his father.

Wait, why am I lowering my status?!

Just as Ling Buyan finished speaking, the wooden plaque in his hand suddenly emitted a bright red light. Ling Buyan slowly released his grip and let the Du Sheng plaque fly out.

"Ah! The Du Sheng plaque!" Duan Wannian couldn't help but exclaim when she saw this.

Duan Qianli also quickly acted, trying to use his thirteen-section whip to retrieve the Du Sheng plaque. They only knew that the Du Sheng plaque could absorb all the energy in the world, and seeing Ling Buyan's actions, they immediately saw this behavior as a threat.

However, even the thirteen-section whip that symbolized the identity of the leader of the demon race could not stop the Du Sheng plaque.

In a blink of an eye, the Du Sheng plaque flew to Duan Jisu's forehead.

"Father!" Duan Wannian made a move to rush over.

Before he could reach him, Cheng Huang suddenly jumped out of Li Fenglan's arms and bit onto Duan Wannian's large sleeve.

"You silly, Ling Buyan is feeding him!" Cheng Huang used his milky voice and said disdainfully.

Feeding him? After Cheng Huang's reminder, Li Fenglan finally noticed that, as Cheng Huang said, the Du Sheng plaque, after flying onto Duan Jisu's forehead, began to continuously release demon energy.

"So, all the demon energy absorbed by the Du Sheng plaque in the nearby area is being sent out by it?" Li Fenglan said unconsciously.

Cheng Huang slowly released Duan Wannian and crawled back into Li Fenglan's arms.

Duan Qianli and Duan Wannian saw that it was indeed as Cheng Huang said, and demon energy kept pouring out of the Du Sheng plaque and into Duan Jisu's body.

So much demon energy slowly filled Duan Jisu's meridians and stimulated his demon heart.

"How...how is this possible..." Duan Qianli stared at Ling Buyan with wide eyes.

How did this person do it?

But Li Fenglan already had the answer in his heart.

"Our Master refined the Du Sheng plaque," he said.

Unlike Duan Qianli, Li Fenglan knew that Ling Buyan had also been to the Endless Purgatory and even stayed there for a long time... He should have refined the Du Sheng plaque during that time!

When Li Fenglan said this, his expression could be described as "calm."

However, only he knew that his mood was definitely not as calm as his expression showed when he spoke.

What exactly happened in the Endless Purgatory?

How did his master go to the Endless Purgatory?

How long did Ling Buyan stay there until he could refine the Du Sheng plaque?

Li Fenglan was full of doubts, while on the other side, Duan Qianli and Duan Wannian only had their father in their eyes at this moment.

They saw that as the demonic energy continuously flowed out from the Du Sheng plaque, the huge Bi Fang lying on the ground, which had not moved at all, suddenly trembled its eyelids lightly...

Duan Jisu, who had been asleep for thousands of years, was about to wake up!

Duan Qianli was born as the young master of the demonic clan, and the demonic clan attached great importance to family background.

As a young master, he has always had a strong sense of pride and honor towards his own family. As for his father Duan Jisu, he was the most powerful existence in Duan Qianli's heart.

Until Duan Jisu was seriously injured and returned to his original form, and then slept here for thousands of years.

Duan Qianli finally knew that his father could also be injured.

"Be careful!" At this moment, Li Fenglan suddenly shouted loudly.

At the same time, he reached out and used his sleeve to cover the eyes of Cheng Huang.

As Li Fenglan's voice fell, a burst of flames soared into the sky. The huge demon that had just been lying quietly on the ground suddenly burst into flames.

Even the surrounding mountains and rocks were melted by the flames.

The surrounding air was heated up as a result.

The radiance was extremely dazzling, much more formidable than Duan Qianli's original form.

...So this is the power of a peak demon cultivator?

Indeed, much more formidable than Duan Qianli.

In fact, although Cheng Huang looked small, it was already a fully grown fierce beast. Its eyes were not afraid of the flames.

However, Cheng Huang, who had a little trick up its sleeve, did not say anything.

After having its eyes covered gently by Li Fenglan, Cheng Huang happily wriggled its body and then sniffed the fragrance on Li Fenglan's clothes.

It felt like it must be the happiest fierce beast in the world!

After several loud bangs, Duan Jisu, who had been sleeping for a thousand years, finally opened his eyes completely. A ball of fire flashed by, and a huge golden bird flew into the sky in an instant.

At that moment, everyone living in the demon realm saw two suns appearing in the sky at the same time.

Their former demon lord had awakened!

All the demons who had seen Duan Jisu in the demon realm knelt down on the ground. Even Duan Qianli and Duan Wannian, who were in the forbidden area, also kneeled down towards the huge Bi Fang.

Looking at the golden giant bird wrapped in flames flying in the sky, Li Fenglan's feelings were unexpectedly complicated.

Duan Jisu flew several circles in the air, looking down at the land below and patrolling the world that belonged to him.

Just now, the Du Sheng plaque that had just awakened Duan Jisu flew back into Ling Buyan's hands and disappeared.

In this vast demon realm, only Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan were standing.

At this moment, Li Fenglan suddenly saw that Duan Jisu, who had been hovering and dancing in the air just now, suddenly stopped! The huge demon pupils suddenly looked towards his direction.

Duan Jisu was indeed a demon who had lived for tens of thousands of years.

When he looked at him like this, Li Fenglan's heart couldn't help but feel cold. Not only him, but Duan Qianli and Duan Wannian also noticed that their father was looking towards Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan. Did he discover that these two were cultivators?

A man in his thirties, dressed in golden clothes with white hair, appeared before them.

As a demon cultivator who had lived for tens of thousands of years, Duan Jisu's temperament was particularly calm. His features were deep and resolute, and his white hair was tied up in a golden crown, making him look mature and imposing.

Upon closer inspection, although Duan Qianli's features were six or seven points similar to his father's, his temperament was far inferior to his father's.

Duan Jisu had turned into a human form!

"Father, you're finally awake!" Duan Wannian said excitedly.

At the same time as he stood on the mountain, Duan Jisu lifted his hand gently, indicating that his two children who had been kneeling on the ground could stand up.

However, before Duan Qianli and Duan Wannian could say anything, Duan Jisu's gaze turned to Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan.

He frowned slightly, as if he was thinking or trying to recall something.

"Father, it's him--" Although Duan Qianli disliked Ling Buyan and had a bit of an unpleasant encounter with him earlier, he felt it was necessary to tell his father who had woken him up.

After all, Li Fenglan was still here, and he needed to make a good impression.

But before Duan Qianli could finish his sentence, Duan Jisu coldly interrupted his son.

Duan Jisu slowly spoke, tentatively asking Ling Buyan, "May I ask...did you save me?"

"You?"

The appearance of this word surprised Li Fenglan.

He didn't expect Duan Qianli's father to be so polite. How did he raise a son like him?

At this moment, Li Fenglan was shocked, but the person who was even more shocked than him was Duan Qianli.

As mentioned before, a demon race often has several demon cubs in one litter, and just-born cubs will use cute behavior to gain the care of their elders.

This behavior often lasts for hundreds of years.

Duan Qianli and Duan Wannian are siblings, and except for the period of confusion just after birth, Duan Qianli was very disdainful of using cute behavior, while Duan Wannian was a master at it.

Therefore, with the comparison of his little sister, coupled with his inherently more mischievous personality, Duan Jisu, as a father, was particularly irritable when facing Duan Qianli.

If Duan Qianli remembered correctly, this seemed to be the first time he has heard the word "you" from his father's mouth.

He had been asleep for thousands of years, so why did he suddenly become polite upon waking up?

But that wasn't the most shocking thing.

The most terrifying thing was that after saying that sentence, Duan Jisu murmured, "It must be you..."

From Duan Jisu's tone, Li Fenglan could hear surprise and disbelief.

Then, wearing a golden robe and a golden crown, Duan Jisu slowly knelt in front of Ling Buyan in front of everyone's eyes.

"Father!" Duan Qianli was about to lose his mind. His father, Duan Jisu, was a great demon who had lived for tens of thousands of years!

Even peak period Li Fuyue might not be his opponent.

In the memory of Duan Qianli, Duan Jisu never regarded any demon or human as being worthy of his attention.

But now, this great demon actually knelt down in front of Ling Buyan!

"How can you kneel to him?" Duan Qianli couldn't help but express his disbelief.

Then, amidst Duan Qianli's questioning of the meaning of life, he kowtowed to Ling Buyan three times.

Did his father kowtow to Ling Buyan?

... Duan Qianli felt like his whole world had collapsed.

He was completely at a loss!

But Li Fenglan was thinking - this old demon lord was really different from Duan Qianli, who had deceived him even after he saved him!

He is really polite, and knows how to repay kindness...

With these big gestures, not only was Duan Qianli shock, even Li Fenglan was scared.

He was surprised to learn that the demon race was such a polite group.

Duan Qianli really embarrassed his father.

As for Duan Wannian, she was completely confused.

Even when she saw Duan Jisu kowtow to Ling Buyan, Duan Wannian was still hesitant - if her father paid respect to Ling Buyan, should she follow suit?

When Duan Jisu paid his respects to him, Ling Buyan's gaze finally fell.

He did not seem surprised or frightened, unlike what Li Fenglan had imagined.

All Ling Buyan did was to simply nod after looking at the kneeling demon.

That's it???

Not only did Duan Qianli feel this way, even Li Fenglan felt that his master's behavior seemed too aloof.

But something even more unexpected happened. Duan Jisu still knelt on the ground and did not stand up. He showed an extremely surprised expression and then said to Ling Buyan, "I thought you were still in the Upper Realm..."

Wait, Upper Realm!

Upon hearing Duan Jisu's words, Li Fenglan suddenly grasped the main point.

It seemed that Duan Jisu did not kneel because Ling Buyan saved him, but because they had already known each other?

... And in Duan Jisu's eyes, Ling Buyan had already ascended to the Upper Realm?

After returning to Tianmian Palace, could Li Fenglan find out his master's true identity? Li Fenglan's mind was wandering.

At this moment, Li Fenglan felt that he was one step closer to the truth.

"Upper Realm?" Upon hearing these two words, Duan Qianli was also confused.

Ling Buyan has always hidden his cultivation level in front of others, so Duan Qianli never knew his true realm. But with the title of "Immortal Lord" of the Tianmian Palace, Duan Qianli always thought that Ling Buyan's cultivation level was only at the Demigod stage.

However, now he actually heard the words "Upper Realm" from his own father's mouth.

If it weren't for the fact that the person speaking these words was Duan Jisu, Duan Qianli would have thought he was joking.

Contrary to Duan Jisu's expectations, Ling Buyan frowned when he heard the words "Ascension" and "Upper Realm", and his expression was clearly displeased.

This displeasure was very restrained, but at this moment, everyone present felt a sense of fear in their hearts, even Cheng Huang.

After a while, Li Fenglan finally reacted. At this moment, Ling Buyan's aura could be described as "dignified without anger".

"Don't mention the past," Ling Buyan said after a moment of silence. "Get up."

With Ling Buyan's permission, Duan Jisu finally stood up.

"Is--" he seemed to want to say something, but the words were interrupted by Ling Buyan.

"Just call me Ling Buyan."

"Huh?" Duan Jisu was clearly stunned.

At this moment, Li Fenglan and Duan Qianli finally guessed from their conversation that Duan Jisu's almost slip of the tongue was another name for Ling Buyan...

Immortal Lord Ling?

Obviously it couldn't be that...

So what did Duan Jisu want to call Ling Buyan?

Li Fenglan was deeply puzzled and couldn't figure out how else others would address his master.

Just now, Duan Jisu even said the words "upper realm". Could it be that this time he will call him "Immortal master"?

After standing up, Duan Jisu still didn't pay attention to his two children.

He finally remembered that he was saved by Ling Buyan and kept thanking him, saying that if it weren't for him, he might have continued to sleep for another hundred and eighty years.

But Ling Buyan didn't really care about saving Duan Jisu.

He said that if he hadn't taken action, Duan Jisu might have slept for another hundred and eighty years and would have woken up at the right time.

Perhaps it was because he couldn't stand his high and mighty father was "currying favor" with Ling Buyan.

After holding back for a while, Duan Qianli finally interjected, "Father, you see, he has already said that if he doesn't take action, you will only sleep for a few more years at most, why are you performing this grand gesture and saying these things? Haven't you always said that our demonic clan's reputation rests on the shoulders of our family members?"

Your current behavior is really shameful--this was what Duan Qianli didn't say in the latter half of his sentence.

Upon hearing this, Duan Jisu gave Duan Qianli a glare.

Duan Qianli continued, "Besides, he didn't save you for nothing. I promised him that if he could wake you up, I would give him our demonic clan's Xuyou Jade."

When he said this, there was a hint of reluctance in Duan Qianli's tone.

In fact, according to his father Duan Jisu's nature, Duan Qianli originally thought that after Duan Jisu was awakened, he would most likely break his promise and not give the Xuyou Jade to Ling Buyan.

At that time, he would just go along with the flow.

But after Duan Jisu woke up, Duan Qianli thought, forget Xuyou Jade, now if Ling Buyan says he's idle and wants to try being the leader of the demonic clan, Duan Jisu might be happy and honored to hand over this position to him.

What is going on here!

Duan Qianli even began to suspect that Ling Buyan had done something sneaky when he saved Duan Jisu just now.

"Xuyou Jade?" Duan Jisu repeated these three words, then said a sentence that was just as Duan Qianli had expected, "Of course, of course! If you're willing to take it away, it's much better than it being a decoration here with us!"

Duan Qianli: "..."

Duan Wannian: "...Wow."

Even before the others could react, Duan Jisu, who had been standing here just now, suddenly turned into a ball of golden light and disappeared before their eyes.

In just a few moments, the golden light appeared again, accompanied by a piece of rough jade that looked grayish on the surface.

"Is this the Xuyou Jade?" Li Fenglan asked unconsciously.

Although he knew that the Xuyou Jade was just a piece of rough jade, seeing its unremarkable appearance made Li Fenglan unable to resist asking.

Did Master really come to the Demon Clan for this piece of jade?

Upon hearing Li Fenglan's skeptical tone, Duan Jisu, who had just landed back on the cliff and was talking to Ling Buyan, immediately frowned.

He had been too focused on his conversation with Ling Buyan and hadn't noticed Li Fenglan until now. So it wasn't until now that Duan Jisu saw that there was another human cultivator here whose cultivation level was unknown. And judging from his tone, he seemed to look down on the Xuyou Jade of the Demon Clan.

With this frown, Duan Qianli finally felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.

This was his father's bad temper and irritability that he was familiar with!

However, before Duan Jisu could lose his temper, he saw Ling Buyan nod suddenly.

"Yes, although it may not look very impressive, it is a piece of rough jade that shares the same fate as the world and has the same lifespan as the sun and moon." Ling Buyan's tone was particularly gentle.

Duan Jisu, the former Demon Clan leader, had lived for tens of thousands of years. When he heard the tone in which Ling Buyan spoke to Li Fenglan, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

The words that had just been on the tip of his tongue were also swallowed back.

"Yes, that's right." Duan Jisu smiled kindly at Li Fenglan.

Li Fenglan: ???

...

Upon hearing Ling Buyan's words, Duan Jisu naturally looked very honored.

After seeing Ling Buyan off, Duan Jisu finally remembered his two children.

He looked at Li Fenglan and said politely, "May I know how to address you, young friend?"

Before Li Fenglan could answer, Duan Qianli hurriedly interjected, "Fenglan is my good friend and confidant, and in the future will be--"

Disrespectful?

Wait a minute, I am thousands of years older than Li Fenglan. Could it be that my father is feeling dizzy from sleeping too long and hasn't recovered yet?"
