He truly hadn’t suffered any real injuries.
Bone Demon and Mortal Sovereign had both overestimated him.
Some Immortal-Slaying Undying Formation.
Mortal Sovereign was nothing more than a frog at the bottom of a well.
The reason Xu Zimo hadn’t eliminated them was that he feared that, once the threat was gone, Liu Xu'er would flee on her own to the Jade Maiden Palace.
Although this meant wasting the Human Sovereign’s power, it didn’t matter.
Because he had already obtained the Otherworldly Demon Stone.
Once he truly advanced into the Infinite Dao realm, he wouldn’t need anyone’s help at all to kill Bone Demon and Mortal Sovereign.
So for now, Xu Zimo’s top priority was to first enter the Infinite Dao realm.
After that, he would look for the Desolate Tree.
As for the demon inside the Otherworldly Demon Stone, he wasn’t afraid in the slightest.
In fact, this Otherworldly Demon might even be of great use to him.
Liu Xu'er didn’t say much.
She had to report everything to the ancestor immediately.
The sect master’s betrayal and death, and the emergence of the evil beings, were a double blow to the Jade Maiden Palace.
As the Holy Maiden of the Jade Maiden Palace, Liu Xu'er held considerable status.
At this moment, she went alone to seek out the ancestor.
She also arranged for a female disciple to find Xu Zimo a place to stay.
…
Since the Jade Maiden Palace was composed entirely of female disciples, Xu Zimo was treated to quite a spectacle.
Along the way, he was like a rare curiosity, drawing countless gazes.
It was the first time a man had ever entered the Jade Maiden Palace.
“What’s your name?” Xu Zimo asked the woman guiding him.
“Wang Xiang,” she replied.
“Why doesn’t your Jade Maiden Palace accept male disciples?” Xu Zimo asked.
“It’s our grand-ancestor’s command. We simply obey,” Wang Xiang replied.
“Do you think your grand-ancestor was hurt by a man, so she became this extreme?” Xu Zimo smiled.
“Don’t speak recklessly about our grand-ancestor,” Wang Xiang said hurriedly.
“She has her own reasons.”
“Then have you ever left the Jade Maiden Palace to see the outside world?” Xu Zimo asked again.
He decided to build a good relationship with her.
That way, he could ask about some of the Jade Maiden Palace’s secrets.
He couldn’t always be treated with suspicion.
“My master said that unless there’s a special reason, disciples of the Jade Maiden Palace aren’t allowed to leave casually,” Wang Xiang shook her head.
This made Xu Zimo feel even more puzzled.
He sensed that the Jade Maiden Palace must be hiding some unspeakable secret.
Otherwise, why would they be so strict with their disciples?
It was almost like a form of disguised imprisonment.
“The outside world is very exciting,” Xu Zimo said.
This piqued Wang Xiang’s curiosity.
After all, a bird kept caged for too long will always yearn for the outside world.
“Then tell me about it,” Wang Xiang said with interest.
Xu Zimo smiled.
He talked about the Great Beyond, and also about the Nine Heavens.
The different regions of the Nine Heavens, the diverse races, and some of his own experiences.
It made Wang Xiang cover her mouth and laugh.
Before long, the two arrived at the courtyard where Xu Zimo would rest.
The courtyard was located above a hot spring.
Its scale was fairly decent.
Red bricks and green tiles, with peach trees planted in the courtyard.
At this moment, peach blossoms were in full bloom, giving the place a unique atmosphere.
“I’ll send you off here, then,” Wang Xiang said, still wanting more.
Xu Zimo nodded.
Smiling, he said, “If you still want to hear stories, you can come find me tomorrow.”
“Really?” Wang Xiang said joyfully.
After receiving Xu Zimo’s confirmation, she left happily.
…
After entering the courtyard, Xu Zimo first set up restrictions around it.
This was to prevent anyone from barging in.
Then he entered the God World.
He took out the Otherworldly Demon Stone.
Within the God World, he was a god.
No matter how strong this demon was, it couldn’t possibly turn the tables.
So from beginning to end, Xu Zimo had never been worried.
Outside, he might not have been completely confident.
But in the God World, he could suppress any existence with a mere gesture.
The Otherworldly Demon Stone was indeed extraordinary.
Once taken out, its surface looked like a meteorite, full of pits and craters.
A very sinister aura radiated from it.
However, there was a seal placed on its surface by the Human Sovereign.
Otherwise, the demonic aura would have surged straight into the heavens.
Xu Zimo shattered the Human Sovereign’s seal.
The next moment, vast waves of demonic energy erupted violently.
The power filled the entire sky.
Loud laughter echoed throughout heaven and earth.
“Old fool, you still couldn’t control me in the end. My demonic army is invincible. One day, we will rule this place.”
Listening to the somewhat crazed voice, Xu Zimo said calmly, “That’s enough. Shut up.”
As soon as he spoke, the being inside the Otherworldly Demon Stone froze for a moment.
“You’re not of my race?”
“Now I ask, you answer,” Xu Zimo said.
“Brat, who are you?” the Otherworldly Demon snorted coldly.
Xu Zimo waved his hand.
Heaven and earth changed instantly, and a bolt of supreme thunder descended from the sky.
It struck the Otherworldly Demon Stone with brutal force.
Inside the stone, the Otherworldly Demon was also affected and screamed in agony.
Perhaps other forms of power couldn’t harm an Otherworldly Demon.
But thunder was the ultimate yang force, specifically meant to restrain such evil beings.
“Brat, you deserve death,” the Otherworldly Demon roared in fury, starting to issue threats.
“If I don’t die, I’ll tear you to pieces.”
“In that case, then go die,” Xu Zimo said calmly.
He raised his hand.
Countless bolts of thunder exploded across the sky.
Judging by the momentum, it looked enough to reduce the Otherworldly Demon to ashes.
“Don’t act rashly. I submit. I submit, all right?!” the Otherworldly Demon shouted frantically.
It could sense that Xu Zimo truly dared to kill it.
At this moment, it felt utterly aggrieved.
It had been sealed by the Human Sovereign for countless years, and just when it finally saw the light of day, it ran into this situation again.
For a noble member of the Otherworldly Demon race, when had it ever suffered such humiliation?
Xu Zimo didn’t really care.
What he wanted was the Otherworldly Demon Stone.
As for whether the Otherworldly Demon lived or died, it didn’t matter.
Something without value was just a waste to keep around.
“What do you want to know?” the Otherworldly Demon asked.
“The Human Sovereign told me that you intended to invade the Great Beyond and the Nine Heavens?” Xu Zimo asked.
“We only wanted to admire the scenery and travel to other worlds. Who knew the people here would be so barbaric, actually imprisoning us,” the Otherworldly Demon replied.
“Still not being honest?” Xu Zimo snorted coldly.
Heavenly thunder was about to descend again.
The Otherworldly Demon immediately begged for mercy.
But Xu Zimo didn’t stop, intending to teach it a harsh lesson.
The thunder fell.
After a round of miserable screams, the Otherworldly Demon could only say, “At first, we really did want to attack the Nine Heavens. But the strength of the Nine Heavens far exceeded our expectations. So we planned to start with the Great Beyond. We never expected to be discovered by the Heavenly Dao.”
“It seems the Heavenly Dao really hates you,” Xu Zimo said with interest.
“You’ve invaded quite a few other worlds, haven’t you?”
The Otherworldly Demon chuckled.
“We didn’t invade. We brought beauty to other worlds.”
“Enough. Can you contact the other Otherworldly Demons now?” Xu Zimo asked again.
The Otherworldly Demon hesitated for a moment.
