Cultivation Online

After their training with the demon ended, Li Jinxi approached Yuan, who went to pick up the demon core left behind by the demon, and said to him, "I don't need to rest. I want to practice my technique."

"I like your enthusiasm, but you should rest today. You've already spent the entire morning fighting with the demon. You need to let your muscles rest before you start practicing that technique." Yuan said to her.

"Then tomorrow…"

"Yes, we'll start tomorrow."

"Okay."

"Do you have some kind of special training for her?" Chu Liuxiang asked him.

"Not really. I'm only there to make sure she doesn't hurt herself too much. After all, I'm the only one in this place who can stop her when she goes on a rampage." He said.

"I see… Anyways, I'm going to take a bath and practice my demon sealing technique some more. Want to join me in the bath?" She calmly asked him, almost as though it was a normal routine to bathe together.

"Sure." Yuan nodded his head without hesitation.

Meanwhile, inside a luxurious restaurant somewhere in Spirit Heaven, the Sect Master of the Universal Music Academy, Sun Hao, sat before the Patriarch of the Gu Family.

"It's been a while, Patriarch Gu. I hope your family has been well." Sun Hao greeted.

"Indeed, it's been a few years. My family is doing well. I hope my nephew is not causing any troubles in your sect. If he is, don't hesitate to tell me. I will give him a good scolding."

The two of them laughed for a good moment.

"Anyways, I heard you have some information on the people that robbed my Gu Family. Although it happened in the Lower Heaven, it is still a fact that they are a Gu Family. No matter where it occurred, I cannot allow such insolence towards the Gu Family."

"Indeed. The person responsible for robbing your Gu Family is someone named 'Yuan', is that correct?"

"That's the information we had received from the Lower Heavens." Patriarch Gu nodded.

"Well, I happened to meet that bastard a couple of days ago when he severed my arm." Sun Hao pointed at his missing left arm.

"What?" Patriarch Gu's eyes widened with surprise.

"I heard about what happened at the disciple examination. It was a tragedy. What a coincidence that the person who harmed you also happened to be the same person that robbed my Gu Family. However, it makes sense. Truly fitting of someone so barbaric and disrespectful."

"Don't worry, Sect Master Sun. I will make him pay for his crimes. I had only intended to imprison him for life, but I will now add torture to his punishment. In fact, I will remove his limbs and send them to you as a gift."

"That sounds like music to my ears." Sun Hao laughed merrily.

"Then Sect Master Sun, do you happen to know where he is currently located?" Patriarch Gu suddenly asked.

"Unfortunately, I do not know where he is currently located, but I know where and how you can find him." Sun Hao said.

And he continued, "That bastard will be heading to the Stairway to Heaven soon. You will find him at the site, or you can surround the area and wait for him to show up."

"The Stairway to Heaven? He's planning on challenging it? Is he a Spirit King?" Patriarch Gu showed a look of surprise.

"No, he's a peak Spirit Lord, but you shouldn't underestimate him. In fact, treat him as though you're fighting a Spirit King. You will need all of your experts if you want to deal with him, and he most likely won't be alone." Sun Hao said, purposefully not revealing to Patriarch Gu that Yuan had managed to defeat 6 Sect Masters of the Seven Spirit Academies all by himself, and it was an overwhelming defeat for them.

"Yes, I heard that he was traveling in a small group the last time, and there is even a Spirit King amongst them. The other Gu Family said that the Spirit King had the appearance of a little girl."

"A little girl? There was a little girl with that bastard at the disciple examination. I didn't pay any attention to her due to the circumstances. To think that she was actually a Spirit King…" Sun Hao said.

The two of them continued to chat with each other over some food and tea.

About two hours later, Patriarch Gu returned to his family.

After spending two days preparing for their mission, Patriarch Gu and over a thousand people from the Gu Family started making their way towards the Stairway to Heaven.

Of course, this alarmed the neighboring cities and sects, and they wondered if the Gu Family was going to war with such incredible military power.

The following day, the Manager returned to the Demon Sealing Faction's household with another demon.

"This demon looks weaker than the previous one." Wang Ming said after looking at the demon's appearance.

It was smaller and thinner than the last demon, after all.

"Don't let its appearance fool you. This demon is three levels stronger than the last demon. The last demon only had the strength of a peak Spirit Warrior cultivator. This one is around third level Spirit Master."

"T-Third level Spirit Master? That's as strong as the strongest cultivators in our families…" Wang Bingbing swallowed nervously.

"By the way, the next demon is around the fifth level." Yuan suddenly said.

"F-Fifth level?! Can we even fight that thing?!" Hong Xiuquan exclaimed.

"It's not going to be easy, but it's possible." Yuan nodded.

"Out of curiosity, what about the rest of the demons? There are a total of 11 demons, right?" Wu Zao asked.

"Three of them have the strength of a peak Spirit Master. Two of them are between the third level and fourth level of Spirit Grandmaster. Two more at the sixth and seventh level of Spirit Grandmaster. As for the last one… It has the strength of a 2nd level Spirit Lord."

"S-Second level Spirit Lord? What's your cultivation again, Yuan?" Wang Ming asked him in a nervous tone.

"Fifth level Spirit Grandmaster." He calmly responded.

"What?! You're six whole levels below the strongest demon! Are you sure that you can defeat it?"

"Of course." He confidently responded.
