Centered around the three unusually active peaks, cultivators stood atop the surrounding mountains.

Be they evil cultivators or those from the Immortal Realm, including those from Penglai Immortal Sect and Mount Hua Sword Sect, all of them revealed hostility in their eyes upon seeing Wang Xiaoqiang. It was clear that after the last Demon Slayer Crystal Retrieval incident, everyone had doubts about him.

However, after seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base, they all secretly clicked their tongues. In just a few days, Wang Xiaoqiang had already broken through to the Solidification Realm and was stepping towards the Immortal Realm.

Little Qiang flew towards the peak where Taiyi Sect was located. There were many members of Taiyi Sect present this time, including the two ladies from the Immortal Realm's Yans Family, True Person of Taiyi, the Top Ten Elders, the Four Deputy Sect Masters, and a good number of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators like Zhao Wushuang. It seemed that everyone placed great importance on the three great demons at Mount Tai.

Although True Person of Taiyi and the sect members also had their doubts about the last incident, they still greeted Wang Xiaoqiang civilly on the surface.

After all, he's one of our own!

But the Yans sisters didn't show such good will. They had a strong guard against Wang Xiaoqiang, and if it weren't for the fact that Wang Xiaoqiang had saved Yans Ruyu's life, a dispute would have been inevitable.

However, even the sisters were taken aback by Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base. They were truly surprised how he had made such a breakthrough in just a few days. If only they knew that Wang Xiaoqiang had broken through by absorbing Spiritual Power and True Yuan from killing people and through Dual Cultivation with a Goddess of Transformation, what would the sisters have thought?

True Person of Taiyi, despite also suspecting Wang Xiaoqiang about the demon crystal matter, did not pose any questions but instead stared at Wang Xiaoqiang and exclaimed, "Eh? Little Qiang, you... you've reached the Solidification Realm, haven't you?"

Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled, "Yes, True Person, it won't be long before I am a Demi Immortal, haha."

True Person of Taiyi pulled Wang Xiaoqiang aside to discuss another matter, "Little Qiang, I heard that on the night of the full moon next month, someone from the Immortal Realm will set up a Teleportation Array to transport us Earthlings to the Immortal Realm. Moreover, those who are transferred this time can reside permanently in the Immortal Realm. For those who are interested in going to the Immortal Realm, this is a great opportunity..."

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "True Person, are you really willing to go to the Immortal Realm?"

"Alas, I am over a hundred years old, yet my cultivation is still at the Late Stage of Transformation. If I cannot break through to the Immortal Realm in my lifetime, I will die just like a normal person. Honestly, who doesn't want to live forever..."

"True Person, from what you're saying, you've already made up your mind?"

"The Spiritual Energy and cultivation resources in the Immortal Realm are far superior to those on Earth, so I want to take that chance..."

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Then count me in as well. I want to visit the Immortal Realm too..."

"Then, let's go together. It'll be good to have someone to watch each other's backs in the Immortal Realm." True Person of Taiyi became excited when Wang Xiaoqiang said he would go. After all, with Wang Xiaoqiang's high cultivation, following him in the Immortal Realm meant they would not be bullied.

"Alright, then it's settled. By the way, who else from Taiyi Sect is planning to go?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked.

"There are three Elders who are willing to go," said True Person of Taiyi.

"Great, then let's go together," Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"By the way, Little Qiang, since we're both interested in going to the Immortal Realm, we shouldn't bother about what's right or wrong. When we fight for the demon crystals later, don't be polite with the others; just grab what you can," True Person of Taiyi said.

"Uh, wouldn't that possibly lead to the Three Major Sects killing each other? What if it harms our families?" Wang Xiaoqiang expressed his concern.

"There might be killings, but it definitely won't affect our families, because at the time when the Heaven and Earth Laws were enacted, the Three Great Immortal Sects of Earth had already received a decree from the Palm Technique Venerable of the Immortal Realm forbidding the cultivators from killing ordinary people. Whoever violates it will face the extermination of their Nine Clans..."

"Uh, that's good then. We can go at it with full force." Wang Xiaoqiang rubbed his hands together eagerly.

In truth, if he hadn't been considering his family's safety, he would have killed Li Jianyi long ago and not allowed him to keep causing trouble until now.

As long as there were no safety issues for his family, what was there to fear? And this further solidified his determination to go to the Immortal Realm.

"However, Little Qiang, when we get the demon crystals later, could you share some with us..." True Person of Taiyi asked reluctantly.

"Of course, no problem. If it really is about three Great Demons breaking free, and I manage to slay them, I won't take a single crystal and will give them all to you. But True Person, could you get the Taiyi Sect members to help me take down Li Jianyi?"

"We'll see how it goes at that time," True Person of Taiyi gripped Wang Xiaoqiang's hand firmly.

Meanwhile, at the peak where Mount Hua Sword Sect was stationed, they had more people coming out of the cave this time, with the Six Grand Elders and Nascent Soul Stage cultivators all present.

Now, Li Jianyi had the status of Young Lord in the Mount Hua Sword Sect, and the sect regarded him as their leader.

At the moment, Li Jianyi was whispering to the two people next to him.

"Young Lord, don't let that kid steal the demon crystals again this time..." said one man, looking worriedly at Wang Xiaoqiang on a distant peak.

"Don't worry, I have arranged everything. Once we kill the demon, our Six Grand Elders will be ready to secure the crystals quickly... We won't let that kid succeed," Li Jianyi said confidently.

At the peak top where Penglai Mountain Gate was stationed, Penglai disciples sat in a circle, numbering even more, likely four or five hundred people. Among the Three Great Immortal Sects, Penglai Immortal Sect had the most disciples and was rich in skilled cultivators.

However, at the moment, the group from Penglai Immortal Sect was also discussing Wang Xiaoqiang with various opinions;

"Venerable One, this Wang Xiaoqiang is very peculiar. We must guard against him this time and not let him steal the demon crystal again..."

"Yes, look at how smug that kid is. What's infuriating is that True Person of Taiyi is actually protecting him,"

"Don't worry, I have made preparations. If he insists on snatching it forcefully, we will just have to fall out with Taiyi Sect, hmph!" Penglai Immortal declared angrily.

"Venerable One, but that kid has reached the Solidification Realm..." someone reminded in a low voice.

"Solidification Realm? So what? If we are pushed to the brink, we will call upon the Penglai Immortal Sword to execute him..."

"Hush..." Everyone gasped, their eyes flashing with excitement,

the legendary Penglai Immortal Sword, the unparalleled Penglai Immortal Sword that Penglai disciples had heard of but never seen, was it truly about to appear?

Just at that moment...

The mountain that was the source of the disturbance trembled greatly, faint beastly howls echoing from it. Hearing this sound, the cultivators became agitated and excited.

"True Person, it seems the Barbaric Demon will break the seal tonight again. Let us rest for the moment, to conserve our energy..." Wang Xiaoqiang suggested.

"Hmm, fine," the True Person of Taiyi agreed upon hearing this and immediately ordered the group to rest on the spot and assigned someone to stand guard.

As night fell.

The bright moon rose in the east.

The night wind howled,

making the flowers and trees on the mountain sway, bringing a desolate feeling to the air.

"Roar~"

When midnight arrived, a sudden roar shook a mountain, causing a severe landslide.

Another roar followed, and another mountain experienced a severe landslide.

Then, a third mountain.

The cultivators, who had been asleep, were all awoken. They prepared for battle, ready to strike at the Barbaric Demon the moment it broke free.

"Roar..."

"Roar..."

"Roar..."

Three roars sounded nearly at the same time, and the three mountains crumbled together. The thunderous explosions shattered the heavens and earth, dislodged stars from the sky, and sent boulders as large as huts scattering in all directions, as if it were the end of the world.

To protect themselves from the falling boulders, the cultivators quickly erected their Spiritual Energy Shields as barriers.

With the collapse of the three mountains, three demon beasts emerged at once, each one different from the others,

One was a snake-shaped monster with five heads and five tails, its body as thick as a main road. Coiled there, it looked exceedingly strange and terrifying.

Another was a toad-shaped monster, except this Toad-Shaped Demon Barbarian was especially huge, as large as a small hill, and its body was covered with backward spines as long as spears. It looked extremely frightening.

The last was a tiger-shaped demon beast, but this tiger-shaped beast had a pair of wings on its back, and oddly, it had eyes all over its head, allowing it to see enemies from all 180 degrees. It was freakishly bizarre.

Each of the three demon beasts was extraordinarily strange and carried a lethal ferocity as they appeared before the world.

"Kill!" Led by Li Jianyi, the people from the Mount Hua Sword Sect charged at the tiger-shaped demon beast. However, instead of engaging in close quarters, they lured the beast into the sky.

Once the demon beast was in pursuit and ascended into the sky, the Mount Hua Sword Sect, repeating their old trick, quickly reassembled into formation and activated the Big Dipper Sword Array.

Meanwhile, hundreds from the Penglai Immortal Sect, except for a few Elders who held back, followed the lead of the Penglai Immortal and rushed towards the Toad-Shaped Demon Beast covered in spines.

On the side of the Taiyi Sect, Wang Xiaoqiang led the charge against the snake-shaped demon beast with five heads and five tails.

The True Person of Taiyi followed closely, and the Top Ten Elders lent their hands in combat, including the Four Deputy Sect Masters. Seeing that all the experts from the Taiyi Sect joined the fight, the Yans sisters no longer hesitated and pounced towards the snake-shaped demon beast as well.

As the group from the Taiyi Sect flew above the body of the snake-shaped demon beast, the monster raised its five heads,

The first mouth opened wide, revealing a maw as large as a basin, and it spewed out a ball of fire. The flames, powerful as a flamethrower, shot directly towards Wang Xiaoqiang at the forefront.

Wang Xiaoqiang, who was in the line of fire, immediately erected a Spiritual Energy Shield to block the oncoming flames.

Then, the second mouth of the demon beast opened, spewing out a torrent of water, which was tangible as it sprayed towards the True Person of Taiyi.

In a critical moment, the True Person of Taiyi also erected a Spiritual Energy Shield.

Whoosh!

Although it was a jet of water, it was far from ordinary; when the water hit the Spiritual Energy Shield, it instantly Condensation into countless ice spears shaped like halberds, sending powerful tremors through the True Person of Taiyi's shield.

Next, the snake's third mouth opened, releasing ten yellow Qi Dragons aimed at the Top Ten Elders.

The Top Ten Elders also erected Spiritual Energy Shields, but still, they were violently shaken by the impact of the Qi Dragons, almost collapsing.

Afterward, the dragon's fourth mouth opened, releasing two Qi Soldiers that looked like scythes, their formidable power targeting the Yans sisters.

As the Yans sisters erected their Spiritual Energy Shields, Yans Ruxue pointed with her hand, and a white Immortal Sword emerged. A flash of white glow struck the advancing Qi Soldiers, creating a metallic clanging sound, then dissipating. Yans Ruxue's sword light faded and the weapon flew back to her. Yans Ruyu also displayed her Twin Jade Rings, deflecting the other Qi Soldier. (To be continued.
