Eternal Pill Emperor

His bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at an old man standing not far away.    

If Gu Xuan was here, he would recognize the two of them.    

The man with dishevelled hair was the eldest disciple of his previous life, Gu Xingyun!    

As for the old man, he was a legendary figure whose Burning Heaven Realm was incomparably mysterious and powerful, the Demented Old Man!    

Demented Old Man was not crazy, there was even a trace of calmness that was hard to come by.    

"Ever since you knew about Gu Xuan not dying over fifty years ago, many Inner Devil have been growing up.    

If Gu Xuan doesn't die, your Inner Devil will never disappear. "    

Demented Old Man looked at Gu Xingyun indifferently.    

"So you took the initiative to invite your senior brother Qian Shan to kill Gu Xuan.    

Unfortunately, Qian Shan had failed.    

From the moment his Life Tablet breaks, your Inner Devil will become even more severe.    

Now, no one can help you anymore. Even if I kill Gu Xuan now, you won't be able to recover. "    

With a dong sound, Gu Xingyun kneeled in front of Demented Old Man.    

"Master, please teach me. What should I do now?"    

Demented Old Man shook his head and sighed.    

"What else can we do? Only if you personally kill Gu Xuan would this Inner Devil disappear.    

At that time, you will have a chance to advance your Holy Monarch Stage and surpass me. "    

Gu Xingyun's body could not help but tremble.    

"But, that Gu Xuan, was also my master.    

His talent is above mine.    

He could even kill Senior Brother Dong Qianshan, and now that fifty years had passed, who knew how far his strength would go?    

In a direct battle, how could I possibly beat him? "    

An angry look flashed past Demented Old Man's eyes.    

"If the information I have received is not bad, then Gu Xuan should not have had the chance to cultivate during these fifty-one years.    

He should have been trapped in some empty space and hadn't been able to return to the Burning Heaven Realm. That was the only reason he got such a lucky opportunity, and came to the True Realm.    

Thus, his strength will not progress much compared to fifty years ago. "    

Gu Xingyun was still not confident.    

"However, Master …"    

Demented Old Man glared fiercely at Gu Xingyun.    

"You idiot, there's nothing to 'but' about!    

Have your hard work and teaching gone down the drain over the past fifty years?    

Qian Shan is indeed a genius who hasn't appeared in ten thousand years, and even has the chance to attain Holy Monarch Stage, but you aren't weak either.    

In these fifty years, your strength has long since surpassed Qian Shan's. Compared to me, you have a better chance of achieving Holy Monarch Stage! "    

When Demented Old Man said till here, he extended his right index finger and danced in the air.    

Immediately, the word "death" appeared in the air.    

A frightening aura gushed out from this word, covering the sky and covering the earth.    

When anyone saw the word "die", they would be terrified by the power contained within the character. A bloody battlefield appeared in front of their eyes, where they could see the illusion of thousands of men and horses fighting each other.    

Demented Old Man's voice suddenly became hypnotic.    

"Therefore, Xingyun, do not have any fear. Go find that Gu Xuan and carry out your fated battle!    

With a death wish in mind, he fought Gu Xuan to the death.    

Believe in yourself, the one who will win in the end will be you!    

Don't worry, I will help you. The word 'die' contains my power.    

Keep it, your strength will advance to an unimaginable level!    

It can even be infinitely close to me!    

But in the end, the extent of your performance will depend on yourself. "    

Gu Xingyun's eyes revealed a look of ecstasy, he kowtowed as though he was knocking garlic.    

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!    

I definitely won't disappoint Master's expectations, and will thoroughly kill that Gu Xuan and remove his Inner Devil!    

If I can achieve Holy Monarch Stage in the future, I will definitely assist Master in breaking through the shackles of Half-Step Holy Monarch Stage with all my might.    

Gu Xingyun's mind moved, the word "die" that was floating in the air quickly flew towards him and entered between his brows.    

The aura around Gu Xingyun's body, suddenly changed.    

When Demented Old Man saw the change in Gu Xingyun, a strange expression flashed across his face, but in just an instant, it disappeared. Gu Xingyun didn't notice it in the slightest.    

"You should master this power of mine properly, don't disappoint me.    

I'll be going out first. True Ancestor'S Birthday Feast is about to start, I also need to prepare some gifts for this Old Death. "    

Demented Old Man flew out of the Secret Realm with a face full of kindness.    

"We respectfully send you off, Master!"    

Gu Xingyun's voice came out from the Secret Realm.    

The kindness on Demented Old Man's face disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.    

Replacing it was a gloomy expression.    

"This idiot, his strength has already reached such a level, yet there's actually such a serious Inner Devil.    

I really shouldn't have taken him as a disciple.    

However, his talent was indeed not bad. Compared to Qian Shan, it was not inferior at all.    

[What a fool. Even the Qian Shan I was looking forward to had been killed.]    

Qian Shan is my most potential vessel. Originally, according to plan, after I possessed his body, I would have the chance to try to raise my Holy Monarch Stage again.    

Unfortunately, they were all destroyed by that idiot Gu Xingyun.    

But, it doesn't matter. After he kills Gu Xuan and dispels the Inner Devil, his body will be able to help me break through my Holy Monarch Stage! "    

Demented Old Man's eyes were filled with yearning.    

Achieving Holy Monarch Stage was the greatest wish of his life.    

The reason why he had chosen disciples with exceptional talent was so that he could one day possess their bodies and attempt to promote his Holy Monarch Stage once again.    

Even if the chances were low.    

Even though he had tried three times, he failed.    

However, even if the chances were low, there was still a chance.    

If he did not give it a try, then he would never have a chance again. He would only be like that stupid True Ancestor, staying at the position of Half-Step Holy Monarch and would not be able to advance an inch until the end.    

"One day, I will definitely become a Holy Monarch!    

to become the true number one in the True Realm, and also the only one in the Holy Monarch! "    

Demented Old Man looked up to the sky, his eyes filled with desire for Holy Monarch Stage.    

True Realm, there was no such thing as a Holy Monarch.    

The so called True Realm Three Great Most Powerful s, were merely three pitiful worms that had failed to assail their Holy Monarch Stage.    

There were two possible outcomes for those who failed to break through Holy Monarch Stage.    

Or, die.    

Or, fake death.    

The consequences of faking one's death would allow one to preserve one's life, but one's current cultivation realm would forever remain at the peak of the Profound Saint, unable to advance even an inch.    

Of course, being able to fake their lives and survive through the Holy Monarch heavenly tribulation was in itself a symbol of strength. This meant that their strength was much stronger than the majority of their Peak Profound Saint.    

Therefore, in order to distinguish between the orthodox Martial Cultivator s at the peak of the Profound Saint, they would often put money on their face and call themselves Half-Step Holy Monarch.    

However, everyone knew that this half a step was the end. They would never be able to go out again.    

Within the Secret Realm.    

Watching Demented Old Man's figure disappear, Gu Xingyun's bloodshot eyes slowly regained clarity.    

"Respectfully sending off Master? "Heh heh, how laughable."
