Chapter 636 begins 20 years ago.
Yaochi Duoduo seems to be genuinely angry this time.
Because right after she loudly rebuked Shijin, Shijin was repelled several feet away by the Qi surrounding her.
Shijin was startled and instinctively wanted to summon the large iron shovel.
But after she had already spoken, she realized that her friend was already in dire straits and couldn't save her at all!
Yaochi Duoduo reacted instantly after her initial anger.
He quickly sprang to his feet and chased after Shijin, ensuring that Shijin landed safely.
After landing, she glared at Shijin, her words carrying a tone that was hard to decipher—whether genuine blame or feigned reproach was unclear.
"Li Dahua, who gave you such a brain that you're so audacious! I'm a Nascent Soul cultivator, what good will it do you to provoke me!"
Shijin awkwardly touched his nose: "Hehehe, well, I didn't treat you like an outsider. And I also believe you won't hurt me."
After Shijin finished speaking, Yaochi Duoduo's face showed a mixture of emotions.
She glanced at the assorted vegetables, then at the large shovel that had been transformed into a pickaxe.
After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
"Yes, you guessed right, it is my master."
After that, Yaochi Duoduo told Shijin everything she had found out over the years.
About 20 years ago, a village suddenly disappeared from the mortal realm.
At first, the matter was not leaked out because there was no one left in the village, and there was nowhere for the news to spread.
But as time went on, more and more villages disappeared. Gradually, panic began to spread.
So the Human Emperor went to the cultivation world, hoping they could help investigate.
As we all know, most cultivators come from the mortal realm, so the cultivation world and the mortal realm are interdependent, sharing both prosperity and adversity.
So the cultivation world sent several cultivators to investigate, but they found nothing.
The Human Emperor refused to give up and demanded that the cultivation world add more people to investigate.
But the number of cultivators increased tenfold, yet there was still not a single clue.
After returning to the cultivation world, the cultivators began to discuss the matter and suspected that it was the work of the Demon Realm.
But this conjecture was quickly dispelled.
Firstly, the demons in the Demon Realm have long been corrupted by demonic energy.
Their bodies have been transformed by demonic energy, making them completely unable to adapt to any living environment outside the Demon Realm.
In other words, they didn't leave the Demon Realm at all.
Secondly.
Although everyone knows that the demons of the Demon Realm cannot live without the Demon Realm.
However, to ensure absolute safety, before the Immortal Venerable Yidao ascended to heaven, he reinforced the barrier connecting the border with the Demon Realm once again.
Some people were still worried and even went to check the barrier.
But as it turned out, the barrier remained intact and its effectiveness was not diminished at all.
So, after marveling at how the Immortal Venerable Yidao truly lived up to his reputation as an ascended power, everyone felt relieved.
Since they're not involved in anything related to the Demon Realm, things should be much easier.
At least it's easy to fight.
But what's so easy about it? Everyone investigated for half a year without any clue.
As time went by, the calamities of the mortal realm eventually spread to the cultivation world.
Suddenly one day, the cultivators began to notice that some low-level cultivators seemed to have disappeared for quite some time.
As more and more cultivators went missing, the matter finally came to the attention of the cultivation world.
As a result, the two major sects began to send out large numbers of cultivators to investigate more and more frequently.
Until everyone discovered that the culprit behind everything was actually the Angry Beast.
Why are they two major sects?
Because this does not include the Cangwu Sect.
After the battle in the secret realm with Bai Ran, almost all of the Cangwu Sect's high-ranking members were severely injured.
After the Grand Elder passed away, Immortal Bai Ran went on a journey to seek enlightenment. Coincidentally, Shi Jin also went to the Yidao Sect at this time.
When Shijin got married in the mortal realm, the Yidao Sect gave him almost all of its possessions.
Chi An advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and all the spiritual plants and crops in the Cangwu Sect withered and died overnight.
In a short period of time, the Cangwu Sect seemed to have suddenly been reduced to only disciples, with nothing else remaining.
Therefore, after collective discussion, the higher-ups of the Cangwu Sect decided that all disciples above the Golden Core stage should go into seclusion.
Disciples below the Golden Core stage continued their cultivation by relying on the sect's stored food and living frugally.
Although there is no hope of advancing in the short term, at least one can still temper the body.
After all, for a sword cultivator, body tempering is an essential part of cultivation.
Why is it said that the beast was angered?
Actually, no one knew about it at first, until one day, when the Yidao Sect was on a mission.
A disciple who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage was devoured alive by a raging beast in front of his senior brother who had reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.
Only then did everyone realize that it was all the work of the Angry Beast.
But at first, people didn't quite understand.
After all, although the Nure Beast had a high level of cultivation, it had never stepped out of the Nure Forest for thousands of years.
Why did they suddenly turn their attention to the mortal realm and cultivators this time?
But at this moment, Fairy Wanchi raised a question.
Is it possible that this Angry Beast has actually been secretly going to the mortal realm to feed all along?
In the past, it ate few people and did not cause much of a stir.
Because people don't know this, they have always mistakenly believed that it has never stepped out of the Angry Forest.
Given its recent frequent appearances in the Angry Forest, could it be that it's about to advance to a higher level?
For example, it is about to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, but the spiritual energy on the Central Martial Continent is currently depleted.
Unable to absorb spiritual energy to advance, the Angry Beast turned its attention to "humans".
Later it discovered that the speed at which it could cultivate by devouring people could not keep up with the speed at which it could devour cultivators.
So, they set their sights on the world of cultivation?
However, this Angry Beast is, after all, a high-level demon beast with high intelligence.
It also knew that cultivators were not as easy to bully as mortals.
So they would only devour mortals on a large scale, occasionally picking off a few lone cultivators.
It must be said that Fairy Wanchi's guess seems to make a lot of sense.
Furthermore, there are personal testimonies from Nascent Soul disciples of the Yidao Sect.
Thus, the mystery that had troubled everyone for eighteen years was finally solved.
After identifying the culprit, everyone began to hunt down the Angry Beast in an organized and planned manner.
Logically speaking, the Yidao Sect, as the leading sect in the cultivation world, should be the first to be affected.
However, over the past 20 years, many disciples of the Yidao Sect have disappeared without a trace while investigating the case of the Angry Beast.
In addition, Chi An has been busy refining pills for Shi Jin and has no time to spare.
Therefore, the task of hunting down the Angry Beast fell to the Cangyao Immortal Sect.
Everyone originally thought that Fairy Yaochi was distracted and that killing the Angry Beast would be a piece of cake for her.
But to everyone's surprise, even the beast's cultivation had been affected by a distraction!
And judging from its appearance, it's already in the mid-to-late stage of the Nascent Soul realm!
Thus, the scene unfolded where Fairy Wanchi led hundreds of disciples to slay the demon, only to have her alone flee back to the sect in a panic.
