C299 Disdainful

Reality is always the opposite of imagination, and every time you think things are going the way you want them to go, you find out what reality is, and reality always makes you see how small you are.

The world is too vast, and there are too many geniuses to count, and every one of them who wants to climb to the top has forgotten another fact, and that is that there are a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times more people who have fallen on the way to the top than those who are on the way.

So don't ever overestimate yourself, before you see the truth, because there's always someone better and more gifted than you.

This Demon Realm Cultivator had grasped the secrets of San Hua and naturally had a good talent, but he had overestimated himself. Compared to The Mad Demon and Shen Lang, he was just a wave in the crowd. In the end, he could only be a foil in front of the two of them. This was the cruelty of reality.

"How can that be possible? I've already touched the three evils, so how can I still be so far behind them?" The Demon Realm Cultivator lowered his head and looked at his hands as he muttered to himself.

The three disasters he was talking about were the requirements to break through to the Astral Realm. They were the three disasters: Essence, Spirit, Qi, Heavenly Fire, Ruoshui, and Feng San.

The Three Calamities and the Three Calamities were the tribulations of the essence, Qi, Spirit, and the Three Calamities. Once one passed through a calamity, a Divine Flower would form at the top. If the Three Calamities and the Three Calamities were over and the Three Calamities were all completed, then it meant that this person would definitely be able to enter the Energy Shaping Realm.

The road of cultivation was a path that defied the heavens and stole one's life. Under the Astral Realm, one's physical body was still that of a mortal. No matter how strong one was, one's lifespan would be no different from that of an ordinary person. In a hundred years, one would die of illness.

However, once one reached the Energy Shaping Realm, they would no longer be the same as before. Putting aside the mysterious changes that would happen to their body, just the Lifespan alone would increase to 200 years. There would also be a qualitative change in other aspects. It could be said that this was a transitional leap in one's life.

The reason why this kind of change would occur was because all the Energy Shaping Realm Warriors had already condensed their essence, energy, and spirit to an extremely pure level. Moreover, after experiencing three disasters, they would no longer be injured by ordinary things. Other than being killed by people of the same level, they would only die when they reached the end of their Lifespan.

Thus, in this world, once a cultivator reached the Energy Shaping Realm, they would no longer be someone that an ordinary person could compare with.

However, not everyone could touch the three disasters of the Three Magnificence. Those who could touch even the slightest clue were those who had a chance to advance to a higher level. There were very few people like the Demon Realm Cultivator, who was still at the Early Astral Reaching Realm.

It didn't mean that the Demon Realm Cultivator's talent was outstanding, and maybe it was due to luck, but it was more due to his own demon bloodline.

But even so, there was a high chance that he would be able to break through to the Energy Shaping Realm in the future. It was precisely because of this foundation that the Demon Realm Cultivator believed that he was definitely not weaker than The Mad Demon and Shen Lang.

But the failure of leaving his name on the stone had struck a blow to his pride, and he could not understand why he had not been able to do so.

The Demon Realm Cultivator could not understand where the gap between him and The Mad Demon was. He had clearly already touched the edge of the three disasters. However, he had forgotten that The Mad Demon had relied solely on her own blood and Qi when she attacked the Obsidian Tablet, and did not use any of her strongest techniques.

With just the power of his Qi and blood alone, he was able to surpass the Demon Realm Cultivator's full strength. The difference between the two of them could not be measured by reason.

This Demon Realm Cultivator fell into a cycle of self-improvement. The confidence he had built up over the years suddenly collapsed at this moment.

The surrounding onlookers had originally thought that the Demon Realm Cultivator would be able to leave his name on the stone tablet, but the current result surprised them. At the same time, many of them gave up on the idea of trying.

Firstly, they were here for the Obsidian Tablet because there was a treasure here, and secondly, they once thought they could leave their name on the tablet.

But the Mad Demon's verification had already made it clear to everyone that there was no treasure under this stone tablet. Even if it was a name-stone, it would at most be limited to the right to browse through the Depository of Buddhist Scriptures.

Although the permission to browse the Depository of Buddhist Scriptures was already extremely tempting, this Demon Realm Cultivator also made them understand the fact that only the New Hegemon was allowed to leave his name on the stone monument.

This made everyone who was watching disappointed. Many of them had already left in disappointment.

The people here left one after another, but the Demon Realm Cultivator was still standing there in a daze, while Lee Zhuohua and the others did not leave.

After looking at it for so long, Lee Zhuohua saw the Demon Realm's New Hegemon and also saw the reward for leaving his name on the stone tablet. He had gained a lot.

When he saw the Mad Demon, he realized that the so-called New Hegemon was not what he had imagined. It was just a Middle Period of Astral Reaching Stage, and the realm might just be a threshold. However, the power that the other party displayed was something that surprised even Lee Zhuohua. This changed his opinion of the New Hegemon greatly. At the very least, he would no longer look down on him.

Actually, Lee Zhuohua still cared a lot about the reward of leaving his name on the stone tablet. His main purpose in coming to the Qian Yuan Academy was to enter the Scripture Pavilion and check it out, and now that he had such an opportunity, he naturally wouldn't miss it.

"Brother Di, do you want to give it a try in front of the Obsidian Tablet?" Seeing that the surrounding people were leaving one after another, Lee Zhuohua turned his head and asked Di Chixing.

Di Chixing had followed Lee Zhuohua for so long, so he had a certain understanding of the Obsidian Tablet. In his heart, he naturally wanted to give it a try. But after seeing The Mad Demon and the Demon Realm Cultivator in front of him, he gave up on the idea.

Even though he had a certain amount of confidence in himself, he didn't think that he would be able to do better than the Demon Realm Cultivator. Both of them were at the Early Astral Reaching Realm, but the aura fluctuations of the Demon Realm Cultivator was much stronger than Di Chixing's.

"Forget it. With my strength, I'm afraid I won't have any reaction when I go up, but Brother Li, you can give it a try." Di Chixing shook his head without hesitation.

When Lee Zhuohua heard Di Chixing's words, he nodded his head slightly. After that, he didn't say anything else and walked out of the crowd with large strides towards the Obsidian Tablet.

When Di Chixing saw that Lee Zhuohua really went forward to give it a try, his expression revealed a trace of anticipation. In his heart, he had long since treated Lee Zhuohua as the level of The New Hegemon, and although he didn't know how Lee Zhuohua was compared to The Mad Demon, he believed that he shouldn't be too far off.

Therefore, Di Chixing believed that Lee Zhuohua would definitely be able to leave his name on the Obsidian Tablet.

Even though many people had left in succession, Lee Zhuohua's appearance still attracted the attention of those who had yet to leave.

"Look, someone is going to attack the Obsidian Tablet again."

"Isn't this person feeling too good about himself? Can't you see that the Demon Realm Cultivator has already failed?"

"Only someone at the level of The New Hegemon can leave his name on the Obsidian Tablet. Look at the names on it, they are all overlords of the new students of the three great realms in the past. If this kid wants to give it a try, I'm afraid he's going to lose his mind."

"Just wait and watch."

Those who noticed Lee Zhuohua walking forward all looked at him as if they were watching a show. No one thought that Lee Zhuohua could leave his name on the stone monument. After all, all the Early Astral Reaching Realm cultivators had failed.

In everyone's hearts, only a new overlord like The Mad Demon could leave her name on the stone monument.

Lee Zhuohua did not pay attention to the mocking voices of the people around him. He walked to the stone tablet by himself, but the Demon Realm Cultivator had not left yet, as if he was in a daze.

Lee Zhuohua noticed the expression of the Demon Realm Cultivator and shook his head slightly. He could tell that this person's self-esteem was extremely heavy, and he could not accept such a blow for a moment. However, this had nothing to do with Lee Zhuohua, so he did not need to bother with the Demon Realm Cultivator.

Although Lee Zhuohua did not look at the Demon Realm Cultivator, the Demon Realm Cultivator, who was questioning himself, saw Lee Zhuohua arrive in front of the stone monument.

Just when the Demon Realm Cultivator was questioning himself, he suddenly saw someone trying to attack the stone monument after he had failed. He subconsciously looked over.

In Demon Realm Cultivator's eyes, the person who came was a young man wearing a black robe. Although his facial features were spirited, the aura on his body did not seem to be very strong. Seeing this, Demon Realm Cultivator thought that Lee Zhuohua was just a person who thought that he could prove himself through the stone tablet.

The Demon Realm Cultivator stopped questioning himself and looked at Lee Zhuohua with some doubt.

"What do you want to do?" The Demon Realm Cultivator asked with a frown. He was not sure if Lee Zhuohua was also going to try and attack the Obsidian Tablet.

"Of course it's to attack this stone tablet." Lee Zhuohua naturally did not have any ill feelings towards Demon Realm Cultivator's question. He replied with a smile.

After hearing Lee Zhuohua's reply, Demon Realm Cultivator began to despise Lee Zhuohua in his heart. He could not tell how powerful the person in front of him was. Could it be that the other party did not see that he had also failed? In his eyes, Lee Zhuohua was the one who wanted to show off and prove that he was different.

This made the Demon Realm Cultivator extremely unhappy. Did this mean that the other party didn't put him in his eyes at all? He had even failed, yet he still wanted to give it a try. Clearly, he thought that the other party was stronger than him.

"Hmph. It is a good idea, but aren't you overestimating yourself too much?" The Demon Realm Cultivator thought that Lee Zhuohua was the kind of villain he thought he was, so he mocked him.
