The Trapped Demon Star _3 …
Meanwhile, in the Bright Cloud Mountain Range of the Southern Region, within the Four Regions.

The once lush and densely populated Bright Cloud Mountain Range had been reduced to something like a scrofulous head, tilled until it was fragmented and broken.
The former Jingxiu Workshop had long been demolished and leveled.
A seemingly indestructible city stood erect within the mountain range, built from massive stones excavated from the land, and surrounded and protected by a grand array.
...
Gazing at this gigantic Immortal City, ordinary people could only marvel at the power of cultivators.
They were completely unaware that numerous human skeletons, both of mortals and cultivators, were piled up within the crevices of the city walls.
Mortal lives are considered insignificant, and cultivators are not spared this harsh reality.
Many loose cultivators, as well as sect cultivators captured by the heretic immortals, led lives that were worse than death.
At this moment, amidst the desolate land outside the seemingly magnificent and shiny Immortal City was another scene.
Rows upon rows of huge barracks stretched out far into the tilled wasteland, where many grizzled and low-ranking cultivators labored.
They wore ragged and tattered clothes, with most not even owning a decent robe.
Their bodies frail from exhaustion, their eyes nearly devoid of any sparkle, and their movements restricted by shackles that suppressed most of their mana.
Even those who harbored resentment managed to hide their discontentment exceptionally well.
That was because the supervising cultivators in the air and scattered on the distant mountains were ruthless.
Anyone found slacking off in cultivating the barren land or excavating spiritual materials from the depths of the mountains would face severe punishment.
However, neither the Immortal City nor the spiritual materials in the deep mountains were of significant importance.
The most important thing was the snow mountain that was in direct opposition to the gigantic Immortal City.
Atop the snow mountain sat a giant figure that resembled an ice crystal.
Like a separate mountain peak, it towered in a seated position, its head touching the sky, its imposing presence dominating the surroundings.
This figure, condensed into an ice crystal, was the Heavenly Crystal Dao Monarch.
This was just one area under the control of a faction of heretic immortals, managed by the Frost Snow Body Sect.
Among the heretic evil cultivators, the Demon Immortal Dao was the most influential power, but this area was not controlled by them.
In essence, this area was just too desolate and remote.
Otherwise, these many cultivators would have long been turned into dead souls, or members of the demon cultivation sects.
They would pledge allegiance to the Outer Domain Devil Lord, turning this area into a holy land of worship and devotion.
The Heavenly Crystal Dao Monarch has been stationed here for over four years.
After Lord Dongfang Huayuan’s betrayal and his subsequent interfering with the processes of the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Sacrifice Dao Domain, the Demon Palace issued a warrant for his elimination.
In the beginning, the Heavenly Demon and the Lord of Mosha Country jointly conspired with the Appalled Demon Lord, a heretic Divine Transformation, to siege Dongfang Huayuan with a substantial force.
Unable to match their power, Dongfang Huayuan sought refuge within the broken Human Immortal Mustard World, barely escaping with his life but sustaining heavy injuries in the process.
The Heavenly Crystal Dao Monarch’s command over this remote area was intended to deter Dongfang Huayuan from leaving the Mustard World and disrupting the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Sacrifice Dao Domain’s progression.
!
Suddenly, a flash of light shimmered from the mountainside below, and a roasted pig, smelling deliciously fragrant, was thrown out from it, landing on the clean, snowy ground.
“Crack——”
On the mountain peak, the ice crystal cracked open slightly.
A dazzling gaze emanated from within, accompanying a big, broad voice, the sound rolling down from the summit with the wind and snow.
“Daoist Dongfang, what kind of trick are you playing now?”
From within the light membrane, an elder figure wrapped in silver light manifested, responding respectfully, “Heavenly Crystal senior, this is a token of appreciation from my lord for your more than four years of company here.
My lord wishes to invite you to share a drink.”
After speaking, the elder bowed, and another object, a huge wine gourd as tall as a person, was tossed from the light membrane, sinking into the snow with a ‘plop.’
The Heavenly Crystal appeared unmoved, his gaze lowered.
From inside the light membrane came an arrogant and rampant laughter, “Heavenly Crystal, surely you’re not afraid to eat something sent by me, Dongfang Huayuan?
If I want to leave the Mustard World, you can’t stop me, and I wouldn’t stoop to such petty tactics.”
The Heavenly Crystal Dao Monarch responded calmly, “Your capabilities are beyond me, Daoist Dongfang.
However, your divine spirit is damaged and can’t be healed in just a few years.
Wouldn’t you risk further damage to your divine spirit by fighting me?”
After saying these words, he exhaled suddenly.
A chill wind whooshed down, picking up the roasted pig and wine gourd and lifting them to the mountain peak.
“Heavenly Crystal!
This roasted pig should be eaten while it’s hot, not cold like this.”
From the mountain peak came the sound of ‘crunching crunching,’ the delicious aroma of wine filling the air, followed by the voice of the Heavenly Crystal Dao Monarch.
“Thank you for your hospitality and reminder, Daoist Dongfang.
I would also like to remind you that in a few years, when this place is enveloped by the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Sacrifice Dao Domain, even the Mustard World will be unsustainable.
You should look out for yourself and not persist in futile resistance!
What we seek is simply the path to immortality.
Why bother with the lives of numerous insignificant beings, or argue about this Dao or that Dao?
Any path that leads to immortality is part of the Great Dao.”
