The three stages of the demonic sect were of the same lineage.

The first stage was to use the Earth’s fire to roast the body and seal the energy veins so that the body would not be burned by the earth fire while ascending the Stairway to Heaven.

The second stage was to use demonic energy to cleanse the body and transform the tendons and meridians during the process of ascending the Stairway to Heaven.

The more levels one went down, the more demonic energy one would obtain. The body that was transformed would also be more compatible with the demonic sect’s cultivation technique.

The spies sent by the righteous path, regardless of whether they were from the eight great immortal sects or the disciples of other sects, all had to go through this dilemma.

If they did not insist on climbing the Stairway to Heaven, they would be reduced to handymen and would not be able to access the secrets of the sect.

Once they climbed the Stairway to Heaven and were modified by the demonic qi, there was no turning back.

Only experts who had reached the Immortal Ascension Realm or the Heavenly Demon Realm could resist the Earth’s fire with their true qi.

Otherwise, even the sect masters of the various sects would be unable to resist the attack of the Earth’s fire.

When the genuine qi in one’s body was replaced with demonic qi, the demonic qi would be overwhelming.

If you said that you were a disciple of the righteous path and a spy of the demon sect, who would believe you?

With your demonic qi, you would be killed before the righteous path could even speak.

As for the third stage, only inner sect disciples were qualified to participate.

Ai Li did not reveal too much. He only vaguely told Alan that the benefits of being able to enter the sky reaching pavilion would be beyond imagination.

Any of the highest cultivation techniques of the sect was the basic reward.

Alan’s eyes stared straight at the bottom of the demon cave. Although his eyes were burning with pain, he still refused to look away.

When he first came to the demon gate, Alan had vaguely sensed a trace of cold air hidden in the Earth’s fire.

Now that he was close to it, this feeling became clearer.

Strangely, Alan felt that this cold air had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

It seemed that he had seen it before, but he could not remember where.

It should not be!

Although he had transmigrated to the nine regions world for a thousand years, he had never left his house to cultivate in the Righteous Immortal Sect. He had never left his house.

How could there be something familiar to him?

Could it be that he had encountered something before he transmigrated, or was it related to his transmigration?

Right now, the Earth’s fire was erupting violently, and the scorching power was too strong,

Even Alan, who was in the Heavenly Demon Realm, appeared rather insignificant in front of this great power of heaven and earth.

He could only forcefully suppress the desire to explore in his heart.

Suddenly, a series of urgent clanking sounds were heard, followed by a dragon’s roar that reverberated throughout the entire demon den.

“Oh no, quickly go back. Don’t come out unless there’s something wrong.

“This lord has a bad temper. If you were to be hit by it, I wouldn’t be able to save you.”

Ai Li said a few words and suddenly turned into a black cloud and left.

Alan felt a familiar aura. He turned his head to take a look and vaguely heard a series of chaotic sounds coming from behind, mixed with words such as, ‘The reincarnation of the demon lord, I’m going to be the mount of the demon lord’.

“Who is the demon god?”

“Why is there another demon god? Is it a new boss?”

Alan listened in puzzlement. He was ready to do his job as a spy and collect information, but it was covered by other voices.

Every time the Earth’s fire erupted, it was the day to worship the three-headed blue-winged sea dragon.

No matter how busy he was, it was a top priority in the demon sect. He could not underestimate it.

This year, for some unknown reason, the spatial door that was originally burned by the Earth’s fire was sealed by itself. The various demonic beasts that were originally captured could not be transported into the interdimensional space.

The human face had no choice but to report it and find an expert to open the spatial door again.

Even in the demon sect, there were not many experts like this.

Ai Li had spent a lot of effort and finally opened a new door. Then, he happened to meet Alan, which was why he brought him here to familiarize himself with the path to the Stairway to Heaven.
