“Now that you’ve dealt with the demon avatar, can you break through to the second stage of the Martial Demon Realm?” Xiao Shi asked.

If Xiang Zizhen’s strength could really be increased, their Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect would be able to stand firm in the Xingluo Province and carry out more actions. This was naturally what Xiao Shi was happy to see.

However, Xiang Zizhen shook his head. “It’s not that simple. If I deal with the demon avatar now, my strength and cultivation will basically stop here. I won’t have any hope of stepping into the Sage realm in my life. At the same time, it will be weaker than other martial artists in the Martial Demon Realm who have dealt with their demon avatars.”

Xiang Zizhen’s words surprised Xiao Shi. “Why is that?” According to what the other party had said before, as long as he dealt with his demon avatar, he could successfully step into the second stage of the Martial Demon Realm.

However, Xiang Zizhen’s current situation did not match what he had said previously.

“Under normal circumstances, after every martial artist in the Martial Demon Realm split into demon avatars, even if they have the ability to kill them, they will let them grow to a certain extent before killing them.

“This is because the more demon avatars grow, the greater the improvement after killing them. Someone once tried to set up everything in the surroundings before splitting into his demon avatar. After the demon avatar split up, he would immediately kill him!

“Although this method can resolve the demon avatars as quickly as possible, the improvement is extremely small. After that, no one chose to use this method to kill the demon avatars. They will deliberately let their demon avatars grow.”

Xiang Zizhen’s words could not help but make Xiao Shi sigh with emotion again about the difficulty of the Martial Demon Realm.

Apart from having to face an evil self, he had to compete with this evil self in the speed of growth. Once he fell behind the demon avatar in terms of growth, he might be hunted down by the demon avatar.

“Since that’s the case, why is your demon avatar so anxious to kill you?” Xiao Shi was puzzled by this. In terms of demon avatars, they should be the same as the main body. If he killed the main body too early, even if his demon avatar could enter the second stage of the Martial Demon Realm, their strength would not increase much.

Yet Xiang Zizhen’s demon avatar was in such a hurry to kill him. Something was very wrong.

“Because he’s afraid of me.” Xiang Zizhen looked at the black mark in his hand. “The soul avatar has all my memories before 1 split up, so he knows that… if he develops steadily with me, he will definitely have no hope. The longer this drags on, the worse it will be for him. Of course, 1 originally thought that he wanted to find an opportunity to suppress me and limit my growth. I didn’t expect him to be in a hurry to end things with me so early.”

Xiao Shi nodded. Although Xiang Zizhen did not explain in detail, he knew Xiang Zizhen’s background like the back of his hand. He knew that behind Xiang Zizhen, there was still a priest of the Church out there and had luckily not been exterminated.

With this powerful priest backing him up, Xiang Zizhen’s demon avatar was definitely inferior to Xiang Zizhen in terms of development speed.

This was the difference brought about by his identity. Although the demonized avatar was the same as Xiang Zizhen in terms of strength, methods, intelligence, and so on, he could not inherit Xiang Zizhen’s identity.

This meant that he and Xiang Zizhen would definitely not be able to compete. That was why there was such a series of actions.

“He killed Qin Mo to destroy my identity in the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. Only when 1 don’t have my identity in the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect will he have a chance to develop with me.

“However, after 1 sensed it, I immediately cut off his connection with the other members so that he wouldn’t have a chance to persecute them. At the same time, no one doubts my trust in the other members. As for me guiding the murderer to you, it’s also to test you. 1 don’t want you to take the rap. I hope you don’t mind.” Xiang Zizhen said apologetically.

Xiao Shi understood this. The first time he saw Xiang Zizhen, he felt the same characteristic from him.

Cautious!

If it were him, he would have done the same. After all, this not only concerned him, but also the safety of the other members.

“Then what do you plan to do with this demon avatar?” Xiao Shi asked. With the current strength of this demon avatar, it was clearly not the time to kill it. If Xiang Zizhen were to deal with the demon avatar now, even if he could break through to the second stage of the Martial Demon Realm, the improvement would not be too great.

However, it was impossible for him to let go of the demon avatar.

“I need to ask Master about this.” Xiang Zizhen said. “No matter what, now that the demon avatar is in my hands, i have the initiative. It just so happens that I can take this opportunity to learn some information from Master.”

Xiao Shi nodded. After learning about the Martial Demon Realm from Xiang Zizhen, his heart felt a little heavy.

This realm was far more difficult than he had imagined!

The reason why Xiang Zizhen told him about the Martial Demon Realm in advance was partly because he was grateful and trusted him. On the other hand, he was also reminding himself that if he wanted to break through to the Martial Demon Realm, he had to be prepared to face his other self..
