The strange world of demon cultivators

"Ah——" With this heart-wrenching scream, it was as if a thunderbolt tore through the sky, echoing through the clouds.

Ji Yan slowly awoke amidst the torment of excruciating pain, his consciousness gradually returning to his mind.

When he laboriously opened his eyes, a completely unfamiliar scene unfolded before him.

The first thing that caught his eye was a colossal medicine cauldron, standing there like a small mountain.

It exuded an extremely rich medicinal fragrance, and the entire space was enveloped by this aroma.

Ji Yan was shocked to discover that he was trapped in a corner of the room, his hands and feet firmly locked by chains, unable to move at all.

And the source of his unbearable pain was this ubiquitous medicinal fragrance.

The medicinal fragrance was like sharp, bone-piercing knives, wave after wave assaulting his body.

Each impact brought the pain of skinning and tendon-pulling, ruthlessly drilling into Ji Yan's already weakened body.

Enduring the pain, Ji Yan laboriously turned his eyes and began to carefully observe the surrounding environment.

This place gave him a strange feeling that was both distant and familiar, as if some vague fragments were hidden in the depths of his memory.

Suddenly, his heart stirred, and he remembered his experiences in the Zheng Yi Sect.

That atmosphere, layout, and the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy in the air were all so similar to this moment.

Ji Yan sighed inwardly:

Could it be that this place is the location of some righteous sect?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

He had just managed to escape from a dangerous place, but unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he had fallen into another wolf's den.

It seems that the days ahead will not be easy!

Sure enough, just as Ji Yan had guessed.

He unfortunately fell into the clutches of those people from the Wan Tian Sect.

Due to the ghost techniques that Ji Yan practiced.

In addition to the fierce struggle between the righteous and demonic paths, which is still very intense.

He was directly regarded as a furnace that could be manipulated at will, becoming a sacrifice for various dangerous drug experiments.

Poor Ji Yan, who was already weak, suffered unimaginable trauma to his body under such inhumane torture.

Day after day, year after year, Ji Yan's physical condition deteriorated.

Eventually, he ended up in a miserable state of blindness, deafness, and inability to speak, becoming a medicine slave.

............

However, it seemed that there was a will in the dark, and the hand of fate did not completely abandon Ji Yan.

Back then, after the end of the war between the righteous and demonic paths, Ji Yan and two others were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.

It was then that they accidentally encountered Shen An, who was on the verge of death.

At first, Ji Yan was unwilling to get involved, after all, he was like a clay Bodhisattva crossing a river—barely able to save himself.

But just as he was about to turn and leave, he inadvertently glanced at Shen An lying in a pool of blood.

He was shocked to find the identity plate hanging on his body clearly engraved with two large characters—"Shen An".

In an instant, a distant memory flooded into his mind like a tide.

Perhaps it was because Shen An was an old acquaintance, or perhaps it was because he had a trace of nostalgia for the time he spent in the Zheng Yi Sect.

Ji Yan actually seemed to be possessed, deciding to help him as if by some divine intervention.

And it was this seemingly insignificant act that laid the groundwork for today's events.

The current Shen An is no longer what he used to be, relying on his own talent and hard work.

He has successfully been promoted to the chief disciple of the Wan Tian Sect, with an extremely respected status.

One day, Shen An went to the Alchemy Pavilion for important matters and inadvertently discovered the figure curled up in the corner, suffering from torture.

Taking a closer look, wasn't that Ji Yan, whom he had met once and who had saved his life?

When Shen An saw that his old friend had become so miserable, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of pity in his heart.

Without even thinking about it, he resolutely decided to take Ji Yan back to the cave where he lived, and he also planned to take him in as his servant.

However, what is regrettable is that Ji Yan at this time has become a deaf, mute, and blind person.

This physical condition made him unable to fulfill the responsibilities and obligations that a servant should bear.

However, the kind-hearted Shen An did not treat Ji Yan harshly for this reason.

On the contrary, he not only never asked Ji Yan to serve him, but also often arranged for some reliable people to come over.

So that they can take care of Ji Yan's daily life carefully and thoughtfully.

Days passed by like this, and time passed quietly like flowing water.

But no one expected that a sudden and huge change would break the original peaceful life.

Since some unknown time, "Shen An" has been secretly plotted against by those treacherous villains and unfortunately suffered an extremely terrifying Doom Gu poison.

Once this Gu poison enters the human body, it will quickly spread, eroding the person's internal organs and putting them in an extremely dangerous situation.

At this moment, "Shen An" is already on the verge of death, his breath as weak as a flickering candle in the wind, as if it will go out at any time.

Faced with this helpless situation, everyone in Shen An's sect felt anxious.

Just when everyone felt hopeless, Ji Yan, who always remembered that Shen An had saved his life, suddenly stood up.

I saw that his expression was firm and his face was full of determination.

He said that he was willing to personally try various drugs in order to save Shen An's life, even if it meant paying for it with his own life!

............

In this regard, people in Shen An's sect were surprised by Ji Yan's behavior, but they were also gratified!

Shen An did not save the wrong person!

Shen An's master tried countless times.

As the saying goes, hard work pays off. After consulting a large number of ancient books.

Finally discovered the legendary mysterious solution - the Life-Sharing Gu.

It is not easy to perform the Life-Sharing Gu technique. It not only requires the caster to have strong mental power and precise control skills.

As the caster, the master is naturally no problem.

More importantly, there must be an unwavering heart and a willingness to exchange lives for the subject.

And Ji Yan happened to have these conditions.

On a dark and windy night, Shen An's master placed the two side by side in a magic circle.

It was quiet all around, with only the occasional hooting of owls piercing the night sky.

Ji Yan took a deep breath and calmed his nervous mood.

Although he could not see or hear anything.

But he could feel Shen An's master casting the spell.

From an outsider's perspective, Shen An's master was seen making hand seals quickly, chanting words, and mysterious rays of light flickered out with his movements.

At this moment, Ji Yan suddenly felt a huge pressure coming towards him, as if the entire world was squeezing him.

But he gritted his teeth and resisted the pressure, continuing to concentrate on allowing Shen An's master to perform the spell.

Gradually, beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, and his face became as pale as paper, but his eyes were still as firm as ever.

Finally, after a long and painful process, the master finally successfully performed the Life-Sharing Gu technique.

In an instant, a dazzling light rose into the sky, illuminating the entire valley.

At the same time, Ji Yan only felt his life force flowing away rapidly, as if an invisible hand was forcibly extracting it from his body.

But he did not hesitate or flinch at all, but looked at Shen An, who was gradually recovering his vitality, with a smile on his face.

However, things did not end there.

Although Shen An's life was saved, the terrifying Doom Gu was not completely eliminated.

Taking advantage of the gap in performing the Life-Sharing Gu, it suddenly launched a final attack, bringing unprecedented trauma to Shen An.

In an instant, Shen An's meridians were broken and his dantian was shattered.

The cultivation that he had worked so hard to cultivate was instantly reduced to nothing like a flood that had burst its banks.

Even more terrifying was that his originally outstanding aptitude was completely destroyed at this moment.

From then on, he could no longer embark on the path of cultivation and became a complete cripple!

Faced with such a heavy blow, Shen An fell into deep despair.

He stared blankly at the sky, and tears flowed uncontrollably down his cheeks.

At this time, Ji Yan was seriously injured because of performing the Life-Sharing Gu.

However, as the saying goes, good fortune and misfortune depend on each other.

Due to the special effect of the Life-Sharing Gu, Ji Yan unexpectedly gained a strange ability—he could perceive the world through Shen An's senses.

That is to say, he could see the surrounding things through Shen An's eyes.

He could hear the sounds that Shen An heard, and even use Shen An's mouth to speak!

This wonderful change undoubtedly made the connection between the two even closer.

From then on, no matter what difficulties and challenges they faced, they would face them together.

Even worse, the two of them are now integrated into one because of the Life-Sharing Gu.

They can not only clearly feel each other's emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

Even their physical conditions are presented to each other without reservation.

If one of them is unfortunately injured, then the other will inevitably suffer the same degree of pain;

And once either of them dies, the other will also go to the Yellow Springs with them.

It can be said that the two of them have become veritable "life-linked".

Faced with such a dangerous situation, in order to protect his beloved disciple Shen An from more harm.

Shen An's master decisively cast a mysterious and unpredictable ancient forbidden technique.

Under the shroud of a dazzling light, Shen An and Ji Yan were sent to the Sea of Shattered Pieces outside the distant Dead Bone Beach, far away from the Wan Tian Sect.
