The Demon Suppression Saint didn't talk about any secrets, just narrated his own life story.

He came from an ordinary background, but with outstanding talent, he was diligent and studious. After many years of wandering in the Cultivation World, he overcame countless difficulties with luck and strength, finally reaching the end of his cultivation journey—Ascension.

Originally, the Demon Suppression Saint was nearly certain about his Ascension, but unfortunately, his luck was extremely poor. During Ascension, it coincided with a massive change in heaven and earth, causing yin and yang to become imbalanced.

In such circumstances, even Immortals from the Immortal Realm were affected, let alone him, an Ascender from the Lower Realm.

Unsurprisingly, the Ascension of the Demon Suppression Saint failed tragically, dropping him from the clouds to the depths.

But he didn't give up, nor did he blame the heavens or fall into despair. Instead, he started anew, embarking on the path of the Earth Immortal.

To deal with the already imbalanced world, the Demon Suppression Saint also learned from the failure of his Ascension and created a Divine Skill that could blend yin and yang and seamlessly connect the Five Elements.

When the Demon Suppression Saint emerged after hundreds of years of secluded cultivation as an Earth Immortal, he found that the Cultivation World had greatly changed. Yin was stronger than yang, making male cultivation a hundred times more difficult, and male cultivators rapidly decreased.

The Demon Suppression Saint, like many others, also wanted to change this situation, but first, he needed to understand the cause of this.

To do so, one must Ascend to the Immortal Realm, but the Demon Suppression Saint had already turned to the path of Earth Immortal, making it almost impossible to Ascend again.

Moreover, the imbalance of yin and yang made Ascension extremely difficult, many prominent figures in the Ascension Realm had personal connections in the Immortal Realm. However, knowing the massive changes in heaven and earth, even the Immortal Realm struggled for survival and couldn't solve this problem.

Facing internal and external difficulties, many Ascenders left the Cultivation World to explore new worlds, hoping to find a new land unaffected by these changes.

This action was akin to opening a floodgate, prompting even those below the Ascension Realm to leave early.

Over time, the top cultivators of the Cultivation World had largely departed, and newcomers followed suit, leaving after reaching a certain realm of cultivation.

The Demon Suppression Saint was also among the first to leave the Cultivation World, staying here would only mean waiting for death.

Though Earth Immortal also has the word "immortal," it differs from a true Immortal. Apart from differences in realm and power, their lifespan isn't boundless like that of an Immortal.

In essence, Earth Immortal is just a term for failed Ascenders, used to embellish their status.

The Demon Suppression Saint went to explore new worlds and find a new path, but the future was uncertain, as no one knew what the new world was like.

He didn't want his inheritance to be cut off if he accidentally perished during exploration, so he left a strand of Divine Soul in his cave abode, opening the cave door to attract cultivators for adventures, selecting suitable candidates as successors.

If not for this, how could a group of individuals from the Righteous Alliance, with their highest combat power only at the Golden Core Realm, break through an Earth Immortal's cave abode?

And to draw more people in, the Demon Suppression Saint also canceled many of the dangerous precautions inside the cave, leaving only some that weren't too hazardous.

Even so, the Righteous Alliance was stuck on the twenty-seventh level for years, unable to move forward.

The Demon Suppression Saint's true form had left the Cultivation World thousands of years ago, whether he found a new world or perished on the way, nobody knew.

His remaining Divine Soul also didn't know, only enduring inside the Refining Immortal City, waiting for a suitable successor to appear.

Thousands of years of waiting had exhausted the Demon Suppression Saint's Divine Soul to the extreme, and if Fang Zhou hadn't appeared, this strand of soul would have disappeared in a few decades.

Thus, one could imagine how thrilled the Demon Suppression Saint was upon seeing Fang Zhou.

Fang Zhou quietly listened to the Demon Suppression Saint recount the changes in the Cultivation World.

He had originally learned from Chang Kong that the higher realm cultivators had already left the Cultivation World to explore new worlds.

For example, the Masters from generations of the Heavenly Sword Sect would choose to leave after passing on their titles.

Previously, Fang Zhou didn't understand why these prominent figures left, thinking they were out to seize new territory.

After listening to the Demon Suppression Saint, he realized leaving was necessary, staying meant only awaiting death. The imbalance of yin and yang in this land caused many cultivators to be excessively yin, unable to Ascend.

Being unable to Ascend meant a finite lifespan, those capable and talented Ascenders could only watch themselves gradually age due to environmental issues, wasting years of cultivation.

So, they had to leave to find new lands. Otherwise, even Immortals in the Immortal Realm, with infinite lifespans, were also affected by the massive changes in heaven and earth.

Although Ling Xiaoyue was unwilling to elaborate, even she, a Master of the Moon Palace with such high status, had to reincarnate and start anew, one can only imagine the fate of other Immortals.

After speaking of his own life, the Demon Suppression Saint began explaining the situation of the Refining Immortal City to Fang Zhou.

As his disciple, Fang Zhou had the right to inherit everything in the Refining Immortal City, including the true inheritance left on the hundredth level by the Demon Suppression Saint.

When it was all explained, the Demon Suppression Saint already looked like a seventy or eighty-year-old man, with a head full of white hair.

At the last moment of his passing, the Demon Suppression Saint reached out his hand that was like a wrinkled old tree, firmly grasping Fang Zhou's palm.

"I have only one wish. In the future, if you leave the Cultivation World, you must find my whereabouts in the new world. See if I succeeded or failed."

The Demon Suppression Saint looked at Fang Zhou with gentle eyes: "I know this is difficult, but it's my only remaining wish, you won't refuse, right?"

Fang Zhou didn't make any oaths, he simply said with a serious expression: "I promise you, Master."

The Demon Suppression Saint chuckled, then couldn't help but touch his face, even at this time, he used his remaining strength to maintain the smoothness and elasticity of his facial skin.

"My eternally unique handsome face almost got ruined by wrinkles, thank goodness, thank goodness."

Hearing him brag, Fang Zhou couldn't help but want to laugh, though his heart held a trace of sadness.

A few breaths later, the Demon Suppression Saint's figure dispersed with the wind, and the space around him, seemingly like an Immortal Realm, disappeared as well.

After a moment of daze, Fang Zhou found himself still standing in the gourd space, as if everything just now had been an illusion.

But within Fang Zhou's heart, there's a cultivation method left by the Demon Suppression Saint, and a lotus seed in his hand.

This lotus seed is the essence of the Refining Immortal City itself.

This made Fang Zhou feel very peculiar, as he was now in the Refining Immortal City while the city was in his hand, a recursive enigma.

Refining Immortal City was made by the Demon Suppression Saint into a small world, containing many things, including his life's collection.

Due to limited time, the Demon Suppression Saint couldn't explain everything in detail, and Fang Zhou had to explore on his own.
