The Myriad Buddhas Sect's hidden secrets were numerous, and the Demon-Sealing Valley was one of them.

As its name implies, the Demon-Sealing Valley was a place used to seal demons.

This matter dates back ten thousand years ago... due to some disputes over interests, the Demon Race and the Human Race waged a great war; every day, vast numbers of humans and demons perished, leaving corpses strewn everywhere and blood flowing like rivers. Many innocent civilians got caught in the turmoil. After months of fierce fighting, the Demon Race gained the upper hand, forcing the Human Race to retreat step by step.

Emboldened, the Demon Race surged forward, capturing city after city. With each city they conquered, the Demon Race leaders issued orders for a massacre, sparing not even the newborn babes. Their ruthless actions were utterly appalling.

Latter, by chance, the demon army trespassed into the territory of the Myriad Buddhas Sect and clashed with them. The Myriad Buddhas Sect ten thousand years ago was even more formidable, possessing hundreds of Tribulation Crossing Stage masters, a third of whom held Tribulation Crossing Period Great Perfection cultivation. After a grand battle, the Myriad Buddhas Sect emerged victorious! They not only crushed the million-strong demon army but also captured hundreds of Great Demons (the so-called Great Demons were those of the Tribulation Crossing Stage Cultivation).

The Myriad Buddhas Sect decided to execute these Great Demons as a warning to the Demon Race. Terrified, these Great Demons knelt and begged for mercy, weeping and sobbing, and in their fear, some of the Great Demons even wet themselves... Ultimately, the high monks of the Myriad Buddhas Sect took pity, deciding to grant these Great Demons a chance for redemption.

After much deliberation, the high monks carved out a valley behind the mountains to seal these Great Demons. And just like that, ten thousand years went by, leaving it uncertain as to how many of the Great Demons still lived.

The sudden loss of hundreds of Great Demons severely demoralized the Demon Race, which the Human Race's army drove to a disorderly retreat, finally scuttling back to the Demon Territory with their tails between their legs.

Preliminary counts revealed billions of human deaths, mostly ordinary civilians, and the casualties were extremely heavy on the Demon Race's side as well. In a word, the ancient war of ten thousand years ago was a foolish endeavor; neither the Demon Race nor the Human Race gained any advantage.

As time passed, tens of thousands of years slipped by unnoticed.

Those who knew of that great battle became fewer and fewer, and those aware of the existence of the Demon-Sealing Valley were even scarcer.

Within the entire Myriad Buddhas Sect, only seven Supreme Elders and Abbot Xuan Si knew the origins of the Demon-Sealing Valley. They were deeply wary of the valley and would set up numerous formations at the entrance each year, fearing that the Great Demons inside might break out... Were they not utterly compelled, they would never even think of targeting the Demon-Sealing Valley.

The Demon-Sealing Valley was a double-edged sword: properly utilized, it could slay enemies, but mishandled, it could cause harm to oneself...

"Let's hope that nothing goes awry this time!" the old monk Hui Ming heaved a gentle sigh, "May our ancestors bless us, may they see us vanquish the female demon and ensure the Myriad Buddhas Sect prospers for posterity!"

...

Elsewhere.

In a cavern.

With his teeth bared in a grimace, He Hentian said, "I originally thought Abbot Xuan Si was the strongest in the Myriad Buddhas Sect, but I never expected there to be even mightier experts, and more than one at that."

"The Myriad Buddhas Sect has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years; the existence of some hidden masters is understandable." Gao Fei commented.

"What astounded me most was Senior Duanmu! Senior Duanmu is remarkable, really, facing three at once, he actually defeated his opponents. I... I was so stirred at the time, I almost wanted to shout with joy!" He Hentian grew increasingly excited as he spoke.

"If you could live for several hundred thousand years, you'd be very impressive too," Duanmu Hong said indifferently, "Time is the best teacher. The longer you live, the more you learn."

"I wish I could live for several hundred thousand years, but the crux is... I can't," He Hentian said with a rueful smile, "The greatest wish of my life is to ascend to the Immortal Realm, to become an immortal with an endless lifespan."

Duanmu Hong nodded slightly, "Your aspirations are grand, but they are somewhat difficult to realize."

"Difficult is hardly the word—it's nearly impossible... I lack a master. If Senior Duanmu could take me as his disciple, guide me properly, broaden my horizons, and teach me some real skills, perhaps I might have a chance to ascend to the Immortal Realm someday."

"I can't ascend to the Immortal Realm myself, how could I guide you? You should seek another worthy teacher."

"Senior Duanmu..."

"I'm tired and need to rest," Duanmu Hong closed her eyes, no longer paying attention to He Hentian.

He Hentian felt so frustrated inside, What's wrong with me? Why can't she see me? Why is this happening?!!

...

Soon, night fell.

Duanmu Hong, Gao Fei, and He Hentian left the cave tacitly and then flew towards the Myriad Buddhas Sect.

It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at the Myriad Buddhas Sect.

"You arrived right on time," the elderly monk Hui Ming said with a smile, "Leaving when the sky was about to lighten, and coming back after nightfall, you really timed it perfectly. However, I am a bit curious, why did you leave before dawn? Can you answer that for me?" After a day's rest, Hui Ming's injuries had improved significantly, and his complexion had become rosy.

"Cut the crap, let's fight," Duanmu Hong leapt towards the old monk Hui Ming.

"Wait! Wait!! Don't do it, I have something to say!! Hey, hey, hey, don't fight, didn't you want Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual Medicine? I'll give it to you!" Hui Ming hurriedly shouted, "I'll give it to you!!"

"Swoosh!"

Duanmu Hong stopped her attack, her bright eyes fixating on Hui Ming: "What did you say? Say it again!"

Seeing Duanmu Hong stop, Hui Ming immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Senior Duanmu, you are too strong, so strong that it makes me tremble! From top to bottom, no one at the Myriad Buddhas Sect can match you, even if they attacked together, they would not be your match... After much thought, I can only compromise with you and agree to the conditions you've proposed."

"Compromise with me?" Duanmu Hong narrowed her eyes, "Are you being sincere?"

"Absolutely sincere," Hui Ming nodded earnestly, "Every word I say is from the heart. If you don't believe me, I can dig my heart out to show you."

"Alright then, dig it out," Duanmu Hong nodded, "Let me have a look."

"Ah? Dig for real?" Hui Ming was taken aback, he was only speaking figuratively and hadn't expected Duanmu Hong to take him literally.

"You said it yourself, if I didn't believe you, you would dig out your heart," Duanmu Hong said, "I'm telling you clearly right now, I don't believe you! Start digging now, I really want to see if your heart is black or red."

"I..." Hui Ming was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

"Dig, why aren't you digging? Are you feeling guilty?" Duanmu Hong relentlessly pressed, "I knew it, what you said earlier was all lies, all just to deceive me."

"No, no, no, I didn't deceive you, everything I said is true, truer than gold!" Hui Ming said urgently, "I was just... making a metaphor, not really going to dig out my heart... The heart is an essential part of the body, if I dug it out, I would die..."

"Metaphor?" Duanmu Hong sneered coldly, "You're really good at making excuses for yourself."

"It's not an excuse, it's the absolute truth," Hui Ming said with a wry smile, "Senior Duanmu, I truly and sincerely want to make peace with you."

"You want to make peace, is that right? Sure! Bring out the Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual Medicine, and I'll make peace with you immediately," Duanmu Hong snorted.
