Xu Jingming chose Entrapment Net for the second Dharmic spell.

Entrapment Net was very ordinary. By condensing starlight into a net, it could trap, bind, and imprison the enemy.

He had also cultivated Entrapment Net to greater mastery.

If it went one step further and transformed into a divine power, it would be the divine power, Inescapable Net! When that happened, every node in the Inescapable Net would be like a star, and its might would far exceed that of Entrapment Net.

The third Dharmic spell was Bolt!

Due to the rules of Demon Vanquishing World, the might of lightning was extraordinary. During Xu Jingming’s initial cultivation, he chose Bolt as his sole means of killing the enemy.

Bolt also contained some superficial principles of Light Rays. Of the three spells, Xu Jingming spent the most time cultivating Bolt; he had only reached greater mastery last night.

Although all three spells are at greater mastery, they aren’t anything beyond the category they are in. They haven’t reached the level of a divine power, Xu Jingming thought. Therefore, I’m far from being an opponent of an Earth Demon. I’ll have to run as far as I can.

I can fight anything below Earth Demon. Xu Jingming was also confident.

With his mental strength and having received the Primordial Star legacy for just two-plus months, he encountered significant improvement early on with his visualization cultivation. He believed that it wasn’t bad among Lv. 7 cosmic lifeforms.

Coupled with the Ice Flower Spirit Liquid’s effects, Xu Jingming’s mental strength reached the third realm of Myriad Star Demon Refining Scroll in one go.

Demon Vanquishers are divided into nine realms.

Demons are divided into three major levels: Human Demon, Earth Demon, and Heaven Demon, he thought to himself. With my third-realm strength and the three greater mastery spells, I can deal with Human Demons.

Things went quite smoothly for Xu Jingming. As a peripheral member of the Primordial Research Institute, he had obtained the strongest legacy of cosmic humans and had obtained the Demon Vanquishing techniques early on. He still had the advantage in the Demon Vanquishing World.

Many Lv. 8 and Lv. 7 cosmic civilizations entered the Demon Vanquishing World in groups. Typically, seniors would first determine the strength of the ‘demon’ and ensure that it was within the range of the juniors before getting them to deal with it and refine it! After all, charging over without figuring out the ‘demon’s’ strength was a small matter if one died and lost 100 million cosmic dollars! If their minds and consciousness were injured, that would be a serious loss.

Xu Jingming and the others were different. The best Demon Vanquishing techniques, their outstanding talent, and almost terrifying strength among their peers gave them the confidence to act alone.

For example, Xu Jingming dared to deal with any Human Demon.

However, ordinary Lv. 7 cosmic lifeforms wouldn’t have the guts to do so.

The next day, Xu Jingming and Wu Qi left their residence at dawn.

“The Yu family’s business happens to be heading back to the prefecture capital. I paid them 20 taels of silver for the two of us to follow the caravan,” Wu Qi said. “It’s more than 500 kilometers to the prefecture capital from White County. This journey will be filled with uncertainties, so it’s better to follow a large caravan.”

Xu Jingming nodded.

The county spanned hundreds of kilometers while the entire prefecture spanned 2,000 to 3,000 kilometers. Although the population in the countryside was small, the numbers added up due to the vastness of the area. Naturally, some demons and bandits hid in the forest.

Following a large caravan could avoid a lot of trouble.

Soon, Xu Jingming and Wu Qi arrived outside the city gate and saw a large caravan of more than 200 people.

“Seventh Master, you’re here.” A manager of the caravan walked over and said, “Let’s wait a little longer. Not everyone is here yet, but we’ll definitely set off in an hour.”

“There’s no rush.” Wu Qi nodded. After being in White County for so many years, he was quite famous.

“Young Master Chen.” The manager was rather polite. He then bowed and left.

Xu Jingming and Wu Qi were behind the caravan, surrounded by 50 to 60 people who were following the caravan to the capital.

“Brother Chen Qi!” A delighted voice sounded.

Xu Jingming turned his head and saw a stocky youth and an elder walking over.

The stocky youth was very enthusiastic. “I never expected to meet you here. You’re going to the prefecture capital too?”

“Brother Zhao,” Xu Jingming greeted with a smile.

“Dad,” the stocky youth explained to the elder beside him, “this is my good friend from the martial arts center, Chen Qi.”

“Young Master Chen.” The elder nodded slightly.

“Why are you going to the prefecture capital?” Xu Jingming asked. Chen Qi studied martial arts at the martial arts center in his youth, but he didn’t achieve much to his name. The stocky youth in front of him was called Zhao Zhen, and he was one of the more outstanding disciples at the center.

The stocky Zhao Zhen said excitedly, “I’ve finally reached the realm of being able to gain an inner view of my body and be one with my strength. I’ve finally stepped past the basic threshold of martial arts. My father has decided that our entire family is to prepare to move to the capital. I can also become a disciple of an even more powerful master in the capital.”

“Basic mastery of martial arts?” Xu Jingming smiled. “Brother Zhao, congratulations.”

Martial arts were also flourishing in the Demon Vanquishing World. After all, becoming a Demon Vanquisher was quite an intangible matter. Learning martial arts… was something anyone in a county city could learn.

“It’s rare for our family to produce a martial arts seedling, so we naturally have to go to the prefecture capital,” the elder said with a smile.

As they conversed, some other people around them also paid attention.

“Isn’t that the Chen family’s scion, Chen Qi?”

“It’s him. I heard that he left the Chen family and severed his ties with them. The Chen family has also removed him from the family register. This news has long spread in White County.”

“I heard that the Chen family forced this young master to leave. They even relocated his mother’s grave out in order to draw a line between them and the Wu family in the prefecture capital!”

“The Chen family sure is ruthless.”

“Poor Young Master Chen Qi. He has to go out and earn a living now.”

Those people spoke very softly, but Xu Jingming’s strength allowed him to hear them clearly. However, he didn’t mind; he couldn’t stop what others had to say.

Moments later, the caravan finally set off.

…

The Yu family’s caravan often traveled the various county cities in the prefecture and had plenty of experience. Stops to rest and get supplies were planned and prepared ahead of time.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed, and they were halfway there.

Although they had encountered bandits on the way, the Yu family’s company was quite famous in Cheng’an Prefecture. The lesser bandits didn’t dare to show their faces at all. As for the more egregious bandits, they let the caravan pass after receiving some toll money.

“It’s really not easy to make a trip to the capital,” Zhao Zhen said.

“Your father treats you really well. He’s moving the entire family for you,” Xu Jingming said.

“Yeah.” Zhao Zhen nodded, and his eyes lit up. “I’ll definitely work harder when I reach the prefecture capital. I have to become a martial arts expert.”

“I believe you will definitely become a great expert,” Xu Jingming said with a smile.

“You will definitely make a name for yourself and let the Chen family know how blind they were!” Zhao Zhen said.

As the two chatted, they walked easily with the caravan. Although they relied on their two legs, even the weaker Zhao Zhen had gained basic mastery of martial arts—he was already considered a Lv. 5 in reality. If it weren’t for the fact that they accommodated the overall speed of the caravan, they could’ve been much faster when fully unleashing their strength.

The caravan passed through a forest. The mountain was covered in mist, and an invisible aura gathered in the mist, silently condensing into a blurry figure that spied on the caravan.

All this delicious food. If you want to blame someone, blame it on your bad luck! The blurry figure was a little excited and couldn’t hold back his killing intent.

Whoosh.

The blurry figure lunged into the caravan.

Buzz.

Suddenly, the talisman stuck to a carriage suddenly burned.

Boom! 

The talisman burst into flames and shot at the blurry figure.

“Not good!” The experts in the caravan immediately became vigilant.

Xu Jingming—who was in the crowd behind the caravan—also sensed it. He looked up, and his eyes glowed faintly.

He couldn’t help but be delighted when he saw a blurry figure in the distance. I’ve finally encountered a demon?
