Along the way, the Heavenly God Mirror constantly checked the surroundings, reminding Fan Wuji to avoid those powerful demon beasts. At the beginning, this method had always worked wonders. But as they went deeper and deeper into the mountains, more and more Diremonsters and even Diremonsters began to move out.

There were demons at the Spirit Sea Realm everywhere, and demon kings at the Life and Death Realm were appearing one after another. Although no Fey Immortal had appeared yet, this scene was already very shocking.

Three days later, it was a rainy night.

Under the torrential downpour, Fan Wuji was unable to light a bonfire, so he could only sit alone in a dark and gloomy corner. His clothes were muddy and soaked.

"I've killed more than twenty Spirit Sea Realm demons in the past few days. He saw demon after demon, dodging demon king after demon. Gui Guan had used his strength several times already, but he was only left with the power of the final strike. I don't see any hope for life in my heart, but even if I am to lose my life, I can't give up on it. " Fan Wuji curled up in the corner and whispered to himself.

These days, his communication with Tongtian was getting weaker and weaker. There was a haze called despair that seemed to linger around him forever. He activated the Celestial Mirror to avoid the Demon King. Coupled with the many life and death battles that he was unable to avoid, it caused him to be physically and mentally exhausted.

In his despair, he had come this far by talking to himself, comforting himself, strengthening his will with perseverance.

A few days later, an aura of despair appeared nearby. This aura was undoubtedly from a demonic beast, but judging from its fluctuations, it had completely surpassed the level of a demonic beast king. Fan Wuji was completely certain that this was a Demon Immortal.

"Has it finally come? My Gui Guan only needs one strike to deal with a Demon Immortal, and I have no way to fight back. Since I can't dodge it, then I'll just wait for this Demon Immortal. Even if I have to die, I have to die with dignity and my final pride. " Fan Wuji muttered to himself.

His gaze was somewhat unfocused, but within that unfocused gaze, there was still perseverance or paranoia. It could also be considered as something of faith. He strode towards the direction of the demonic immortal aura.

Soon, he arrived in front of the Demon Immortal. The demon immortal did not reveal his true appearance and instead turned into a human youth. He was dressed in a snow-white robe with a white jade crown on his head and a white jade ring on his waist.

If he didn't have the terrifying aura of a Fey Immortal, and if this wasn't the Spiritual Medicine Mountain, Fan Wuji would have truly thought he was a human. His temperament was the same as a human's, without the slightest bit of wildness of a demon beast drinking blood.

Are you human?" Interesting. I, Wu Daozi, am actually able to see a human in the depths of the Spiritual Medicine Mountain. I have to say, you do have big guts, and now that ten thousand demons are paying their respects, you actually dare to go deeper. " The Fey Immortal said with a smile that was not a smile.

"You demon beasts can worship that existence, but can't we, humans, do the same? This matter of pilgrimage was not something that was unique to the demon race. All living beings of all races have the heart to pay homage to sages. " Fan Wuji said clearly.

He was acting; he did not come for the worship at all, because he did not even know what the existence he was going to worship was. But he knew, this existence must be the idol of all the demons.

"A saint? Indeed, the old man was worthy of the word 'sage'. However, this is the first time a human has come to pay his respects to a Holy Lord. " The Demon Immortal said with a slightly puzzled expression.

Fan Wuji had an extremely serious expression as he said, "In this world, who doesn't know of the Holy Lord of the Spiritual Medicine Mountain who is renowned for his talent and benevolence? I was greatly moved when I learned of the Holy Lord's deeds. Among humans, there was a saying, 'One seeks strength through emotion'. The Lord moved me, and I found strength in him. "Because of this, he is able to reach the Spirit Sea Realm before the age of twenty."

The expression on the face of the Demon Immortal froze for a moment, as astonishment filled his heart. He stared unblinkingly at Fan Wuji, wanting to see through him.

At this moment, Fan Wuji's eyes were serious and grave. When he spoke of the word 'Holy Lord', there was a hint of admiration, or even a sort of fanaticism. He had seen many gazes filled with this sort of fanaticism and admiration. The owners of those gazes were all demons who worshipped the Holy Lord.

And now, a human being speaking of the Holy Lord also had this sort of expression. It was hard to not be surprised.

"Are you telling the truth? Don't lie to me. You should know what happens when you lie to a Fey Immortal. " The Demon Immortal said with a cold tone.

"Why should I lie to you? I am just at the Spirit Sea Realm. In the Spirit Medicinal Mountain, I am insignificant. If I didn't worship the Lord, I would worship him. Why did I have to go deep into the mountains? Could it be that my brain was broken and I came here to die? Other than paying respects to the Holy Master, do you need any other reason to explain why I, a human, am deep within the Spiritual Medicine Mountain? " Fan Wuji coldly asked.

"True. Humans are very afraid of death." For a tiny spiritual ocean like yours to appear here, there is no other explanation than paying respects to the Sacred Master. " A look of understanding appeared on the face of the Demon Immortal.

"Young man, you should be glad you encountered me." The Demon Immortal paused for a moment, then continued, "After I became a Demon Immortal, I transformed into a human form. I hid my aura and stayed in the mortal world of the human realm for over a hundred years. I pretended to be a child and studied under Teacher's tutelage. In the end, I even got on the list and became a civil servant for decades in that mortal kingdom. After that, I faked my death, left the human territory, and returned here to become my Demon Immortal. "

"Other demon beasts are full of hatred and hostility when they see humans, but when I see humans, I instead feel some intimacy with them. You don't look like you're lying. Moreover, a person who had a narrow escape from death and died on the way here, I couldn't bear it. So you will come with me to worship the Lord. As for your life and death, they are not in my hands, so I still have to ask the Sacred Master about it. " The Demon Immortal said.

At this moment, his heart relaxed and his whole body was covered in cold sweat. He sighed to himself, feeling lucky again. He had actually managed to deceive a Demon Immortal, and now felt that he had been extremely lucky.

"May I know your esteemed name, brother?" As Fan Wuji spoke, he cupped his hands towards the Demon Immortal. This was a common etiquette among mortal scholars.

Seeing that, the Fey Immortal chuckled, "It seems that you are also a scholar with a good heart." Meeting again was fate. "My name is Lin Qingmo at Fan Wuji. I was once the Minister of the Left in the Northwest Empire."

"So it is Brother Lin. I am Fan Wuji." Although I have never joined an official post, I have followed a teacher and read a few years' worth of books. " Fan Wuji smiled.

One was a scholar while the other one was a book demon. They were of different races but both of them loved to study and was proficient in literature. Even though they had crossed races, they had a great time conversing with each other.

Even in the vast Spiritual Medicine Mountain, a Demon Immortal was considered one of the peak existences. Along the way, he released his aura, causing the other demonic beasts to move out of the way. The two of them, one human and one demonic beast, proceeded towards the depths of the mountain range.2
