Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon! Chapter 659 659: Demon Cultivation Sacred Land of the Wester

Having witnessed a different starting point, she naturally harbored no desire for it. Alas, Chen Pingping chose such a path, and furthermore, it was more arduous than that of an ordinary cultivator, with even more formidable foes to face. She was left with no choice but to make this decision.

Now, at last, the turmoil in the Northern Border had finally cald down. Next, she was very likely to enter the Western Wilderness to complete her path of Cultivating Demon.

But she had a feeling that Chen Pingping's arrival here might be about more than just his worry over her safety. It was probably also to inquire about her situation and to say goodbye.

Yes! He was about to set off.

The astute Guang Xiaoyu caught on to Chen Pingping's intention.

Her senior brother wanted to protect her on her path, which essentially ant: Don't Cultivate Demon. You don't need to exert yourself. With present, no one would dare to harm you.

But she was determined throughout her life, even after witnessing a different starting point and feeling a profound sense of powerlessness.

She would not choose to be just a decorative vase.

She wanted to fight shoulder to shoulder with her senior brother.

Even if it required a trendous sacrifice.

"If you won't talk, fine!" Guang Xiaoyu let out a breath, her face full of complaints. "I'm sure of it now, you are just thick-headed."

At this mont, she was actually quite relieved. Chen Pingping had not provided an answer, at least not a rejection. That ant she still had a chance to strive for it.

Otherwise, her senior brother might just say, "How can you have such thoughts? We are not suitable! I am your senior brother, after all! I've always treated you like a little sister." And then? She might as well have lost the aning to strive in life. Why bother Cultivating Demon at all? Better to find a small mountain village and wait for death.

Chen Pingping laughed. He noticed that Guang Xiaoyu's expressions and moods were constantly shifting today; one mont she was full of excitent, her face brimming with enthusiasm, and the next she was complaining, almost like a resentful wife.

Not at all like the Demon Emperor.

Guang Xiaoyu twitched her eyelids and said huffily, "What are you laughing about?"

"Although… I don't know what your path of Cultivating Demon ans, what kind of sacrifices it requires, or what goals you can achieve, from your words I know this path is incredibly difficult," Chen Pingping said earnestly.

Of course! She made a bitter face. Breaking free from shackles, shattering the Emperor Realm, and cultivating the Supre Path is not easy. From ancient tis to the present, countless Emperor Realm powerhouses have strived, but they spent their whole lives without seeing any hope. Naturally, she didn't know either whether she would be successful.

Chen Pingping continued, "You just boldly stride forward; your senior brother will be right behind you, watching over you. If one day you want to turn back, just tell your senior brother. Above the Heavens and under the Nine Heavens' great earth, anyone who dares to touch a hair on your head, I… swear to annihilate their entire clan. If anything were to happen to you in the Western Wilderness, I, your senior brother, will level the Western Wilderness to erect your tomb."

"SOB SOB!" Guang Xiaoyu was moved and said chokingly, "Senior Brother, you love so much, I'm really touched, but… could you please not curse with death?"

Chen Pingping: "..."

"If I die, who will accompany you to battle the Heavens?" Guang Xiaoyu looked aggrieved. "So, I cannot die."

That makes sense. He nodded. "Let's go!"

Guang Xiaoyu: "Where to?"

"To the Western Wilderness!" Chen Pingping said. "Senior Brother will accompany you on one last journey, to protect your path."

"Senior Brother? Do you have another purpose?"

"No."

"Do you want to see the Demon Palace?"

"Nonsense."

"Senior Brother, you are holding my hand." She widened her eyes in disbelief...

Goodness! This was real.

She was certain she wasn't seeing things.

The mont Chen Pingping stood up, he indeed took her hand and started heading in the direction of the Western Wilderness.

The setting sun gradually went down as the two of them walked through the mountains and fields, the remaining light stretching their shadows very, very long.

At this mont, the Demon Emperor felt sowhat restrained, not daring to speak, her mind filled with chaos, and… most of the ti, her gaze was fixed on that hand.

So soft, so warm.

Is Senior Brother giving his answer?

I understand! His shy nature doesn't allow him to answer directly, so he's answering bashfully.

That's right, it must be so.

As expected, I am a beautiful girl loved by all, and even a man like Senior Brother can't hold back.

Heh! With that thought, Guang Xiaoyu imdiately felt brimming with confidence. All her previous nervousness and gloom were swept away. When her gaze fell upon Chen Pingping, she even had the feeling that he wasn't worthy of her.

They traveled in silence; neither spoke. It seed that between them, no words were needed for communication, as if their souls could understand each other with just one glance, knowing each other's thoughts.

Of course, it wasn't that Chen Pingping didn't want to talk, but he was being vigilant.

「From the Northern Border into the Western Wilderness.」

The Demon cultivators here wouldn't fear his strength just because he had slain the Demon Emperor and forged an Emperor Weapon. After all, the lineage of Demon cultivators had always resisted cultivators of the Human Clan.

And Guang Xiaoyu kept silent because she didn't know what to say, nor did she want to disrupt such a beautiful mont; she simply wanted to continue walking quietly, just like this. All thoughts of Cultivating Demon, shattering the Emperor Realm, pursuing the Supre Path, fighting side by side, and so on, were all cast from her mind.

Following behind Chen Pingping, watching his back, her eyes were gentle, filled with affection and love...

「In the depths of the Demon Palace.」

A woman in red ca before him. "Palace Master, she has arrived."

The latter remained silent, his expression calm.

---

Guang Xiaoyu, the reincarnated Demon Emperor, once again set foot in the Western Wilderness.

Many Demon cultivators fell silent as the tomb, and the major races trembled. Those who knew the Demon Emperor's history and understood how she had fallen thought the Demon Palace would make a move. Yet, as Guang Xiaoyu ventured deeper, the one deep within the Demon Palace remained without any reaction.

It was too quiet. This quietness gave everyone a strange and eerie feeling. What was even more bizarre was that everyone had thought the Demon Emperor was entering the Western Wilderness to settle all scores, yet she passed by the Demon Palace without so much as a glance.

People exclaid in shock, "Inconceivable! With the Demon Emperor's vengeful temperant, she actually didn't storm the Demon Palace."

"There's also soone with her, Chen Pingping from the Qingfeng lineage."

"Right, that guy is the one who slew the Demon Emperor."

The buzz of discussions rose and fell quickly.

But what they didn't know was that the mont she had entered the Western Wilderness, Chen Pingping had asked Guang Xiaoyu, "Do you think these trivial people of the mortal world will still beco inner demons for you?"

This question made Guang Xiaoyu realize sothing, as if awakening from a dream.

She was the Demon Emperor, after all! An invincible being looking down upon the mortal world from a lofty height. Though it was true she had been slain by a traitorous disciple who took everything from her... on the other hand, looking at it from another perspective, this might have been her own destiny. Reborn, she would Cultivate Demon, pursue the Supre Path. If she hadn't been reborn, perhaps she would have ended up living a re existence like the White Emperor, looking up to the Heavens, then slowly shedding her passion and blood upon this ancient land until she beca a walking corpse among the Emperor Realm powerhouses. That would be a tragedy.

Chen Pingping's words made Guang Xiaoyu let go of the hatred in her heart, severing the karma with the Demon Palace as well as the personal demons within her.

She said with a light laugh, "Then let's leave that to young Li Qi to deal with!"

Chen Pingping smiled. "And then?"

"Enter the Demon Cultivation Sacred Land, the Origin of All Demons. My previous life began here, where I was recognized by a 'Big Shot.' From then on, I soared to the heavens, rising steadily until I achieved Tao Verification and beca an Emperor," she said seriously.

Chen Pingping was taken aback. "This place actually has a 'Big Shot'?"

Guang Xiaoyu sighed. "Yes, but... that Big Shot is perhaps in slumber, or maybe he has already left."

"And then? What will you do?" Chen Pingping asked.

"I'll venture deep into the Demon Cultivation Sacred Land and completely sever my karmic ties with it. Only then can I begin the next stage of Cultivating Demon," she said, taking a deep breath. "That place is too dangerous; non-Demon cultivators cannot enter. So, Senior Brother, just escort to the entrance. I'll go in alone."

Chen Pingping looked at her. "How long will it take?"

Guang Xiaoyu shook her head. "I don't know. They say the depths of the Demon Cultivation Sacred Land connect to another world, so it might take a very long ti, or it could be brief."

Understood. Chen Pingping didn't say anything more.

The Demon Cultivation Sacred Land. Just by hearing the na, one could tell it was a terrifying place. Thus, Guang Xiaoyu's path of Cultivating Demon was destined to be far from easy, fraught with mortal peril and countless hardships.

Thinking of this, his heart ached slightly. He held Guang Xiaoyu's hand even more tightly, giving it a squeeze...

She, too, felt his worry and tension. Feigning ease, she said with a smile, "Senior Brother, don't worry. I am the Demon Emperor, after all!"
