Chapter 417: Birth of Obsession (1)

Translator: CKtalon 

Although the sky was dark, Mountain Lord Dongming, Wang Cheng, was in an extremely good mood because his master had arrived at Cheng’an Prefecture.

“Master, try this.” Wang Cheng warmly carried a jar of fine wine.

In a pavilion by the side, a white-robed woman leaned against the railing with a wine glass in hand as she watched the fish swimming freely in the pool.

“What wine is it this time?” The white-robed woman glanced at it.

Wang Cheng chuckled. “I know you like fine wine, Master. I’ve been collecting fine wine all these years. This jar is Hundred Flowers Wine that has been sealed for 50 years.”

As he spoke, he placed the jar on the table.

“Wang Cheng, thank you.” The white-robed woman smiled. “You know my preferences well.”

“If Master likes it, I will naturally work hard to find it,” Wang Cheng said ingratiatingly.

“I’m somewhat disappointed seeing you,” the white-robed woman commented softly.

Wang Cheng’s expression changed slightly.

“When I saw you 11 years ago, you were at the limit of Earth Demon. Yet, you are still at the Earth Demon stage.” The white-robed woman shook her head. “You should know that demons also have a limited lifespan that’s equal to humans. Once our lifespan comes to an end, we will naturally be reduced to ashes.”

“Yes.” Wang Cheng nodded.

“You should be past 50, right?” the white-robed woman said. “I advise you to break through to become a Heaven Demon before your time is up. That way, even if you die, it will only open up another world for you. If you just remain an Earth Demon… It will be for nothing if you die.”

“I can vaguely sense that there will be great benefits as long as I become a Heaven Demon!” Wang Cheng said.

“Yes.” The white-robed woman smiled and remarked, “This world takes great care of us demons! We can be undying and indestructible just by relying on our obsessions! As long as we become Heaven Demons… Even if our lifespans are up, we will still have other opportunities. Demons are the favored children of heaven in this world! We are the masters of this world… Countless humans are our resources for growth.”

Wang Cheng nodded. “What about Demon Vanquishers?”

“Demon Vanquishers? They are our tribulation,” the white-robed woman answered. “They refine demons with their minds, but aren’t we refining them as well… As long as we can win, we can absorb their insights and grow further.”

“Actually, there’s a way to break through when you reach a bottleneck sometimes.” The white-robed woman glanced at Wang Cheng.

“Master, please teach me.” Wang Cheng said with anticipation.

“By using brutal means.” The white-robed woman’s eyes seemed to be filled with blood. “To push others is also to push yourself!”

“Brutal means?” Wang Cheng’s heart trembled.

“Go crazy or perish.” The white-robed woman said calmly, “We are demons, so we naturally have to be crazier!”

“The outcome of madness will attract many powerful Demon Vanquishers. Therefore, it’s a way of pushing yourself. Either the crazy demon breaks through to become a Heaven Demon or die under the Demon Vanquishers’ teamwork,” the white-robed woman said. “Even if you are killed, if you can win and seriously injure the Demon Vanquisher’s mind during the demon refinement, you can seize the opportunity to escape! By absorbing the nourishment of the Demon Vanquisher’s mind, you have a chance of advancing further and becoming a Heaven Demon.”

Wang Cheng understood.

First, one could break through in madness. Second, even if one failed, they still had a chance of breaking through if they could win during the demon refinement.

“Your lifespan is coming to an end,” the white-robed woman said softly. “Think about it.”

“Yes.” Wang Cheng nodded slightly.

“Only by becoming a Heaven Demon can I recommend you to Orchid Jade Pavilion,” the white-robed woman remarked. “The members of Orchid Jade Pavilion have to be Heaven Demons. Our opponents… are all high-level Demon Vanquishers. They aren’t like these weak Demon Vanquishers you encounter in Cheng’an Prefecture.”

“High-level Demon Vanquisher?” Wang Cheng also knew that Demon Vanquishers from the seventh to ninth realms were high-level Demon Vanquishers. Every one of them had destructive strength and was extremely terrifying—they could easily crush him.

The white-robed woman chuckled. In her eyes, Cheng’an Prefecture City was nothing.

Bam! Bam! Bam! 

Someone suddenly knocked on the door in the distance.

Wang Cheng frowned and looked over. An old woman knocked on the garden door gently.

“Master, I’ll go take a look.” Wang Cheng apologized.

The white-robed woman waved her hand and continued drinking.

Wang Cheng’s figure turned into a blur as he arrived at the door.

“What’s the matter?” Wang Cheng frowned and rebuked in a low voice. With his master here, he had long given strict orders not to disturb him unless something important happened. Since his subordinate still came to report, it meant that something important had happened.

“Mountain Lord.” The old woman suppressed her excitement and whispered, “Demon Vanquisher Wu Ming is back.”

Killing intent immediately surged in Wang Cheng’s heart. The death of Blood-Robed Demon God, Guan Muyu, had long infuriated him. It was just that Xu Jingming had been outside the city recently, and it was difficult for Dongming Mountain’s intelligence network to determine his location.

“He’s finally back.” Wang Cheng’s killing intent erupted. When he thought of his master’s advice of ‘go crazy or perish,’ his eyes turned red. This is the will of the heavens, right? The will of the heavens wants me to go crazy! This Demon Vanquisher… might be my opportunity to become a Heaven Demon!

Wang Cheng’s figure turned into a blur as he returned to the white-robed woman’s side and bowed slightly. “Master, I’m preparing to go out and try out the brutal method.”

The white-robed woman looked at him in surprise. “Oh? You’ve figured it out so quickly?”

“I have someone I really want to kill. He’s back,” Wang Cheng explained.

“Alright, I’ll accompany you. Let’s see how brutal you are on yourself,” the white-robed woman said.

“I definitely won’t disappoint you, Master.” Wang Cheng smiled and bowed.

“Let’s go.” The white-robed woman was very interested in the so-called ‘brutal means,’ and she was already eager to see how things would develop.
