"Alright. Follow me." Wan Yu said to Yuan before taking him to this open area somewhere within the building.

In this open area, there were many groups of people standing in different spots watching cultivators attempt to fight the artificial demons.

'These are artificial demons…?' Yuan's eyes widened when he saw one of these artificial demons for the first time.

They resembled the demons greatly with red skin, horns, a bloodthirsty face, and even a red crystal embedded in their chest.

However, there was one big difference between these artificial demons and real demons— they lacked the bloodthirsty aura that real demons possessed.

Instead, they had this overwhelming aura created from spiritual energy to pressure the cultivator fighting it.

"It appears that all of the artificial demons are occupied. Let's watch them for now. You can also learn something from them." Wan Yu said.

"Okay." Yuan nodded, and he watched these cultivators fight the demons.

After watching these cultivators for about half an hour, Yuan realized something about these cultivators— that they really sucked at sealing these demons.

Despite these cultivators hitting the artificial demons many times with their demon sealing strike, the demons were still able to move and fight back.

"Why aren't the demons being sealed despite getting struck by demon sealing techniques?" Yuan asked Wan Yu.

Wan Yu looked at him with raised eyebrows and said, "If a demon can be sealed with a single strike, the cultivator fighting that demon would be many levels above the demon. Even the most talented demon sealers of our generation require a couple of strikes before they can seal a demon entirely."

"Once you strike a demon with a demon sealing strike, the demon sealing aura will slowly build up inside their body, and once there is enough built up, it seals the demon."

Yuan didn't know what to make of Wan Yu's words, as he'd sealed multiple demons stronger than him with a single strike, and even the Demon Lord that was far stronger than him had succumbed to his demon sealing technique in a single strike, albeit it took a bit for it to take effect.

"However, there was someone who could seal demons with a single strike. In fact, he could seal a thousand demons with a single move. Can you guess who it is?" Wan Yu suddenly said.

"Divine Paragon?" Yuan answered.

"That's right. The founder of the Demon Sealing Clan— Divine Paragon! He was not only the most powerful demon sealer during his era, nobody has been able to get close to his power since then even though millions of years have passed." This content is © .

"People say he was created by the heavens to deal with the demons, and that's exactly what he did. The cultivation world used to be terrorized and ruled by demons, but when the Divine Paragon showed up, the demons ran in all direction."

"Of course, no matter where they ran, the Divine Paragon would chase them until they pretty much became extinct."

"It's truly unfortunate that the Divine Paragon disappeared without saying a word. Some people still believe that he's still alive somewhere in this boundless universe."

"..."

Yuan remained silent. If they knew that the Divine Paragon had died and reincarnated, not even the heavens would know how they would react.

Sometime later, one of the cultivators there has finally managed to seal the artificial demon.

Once that happened, a figure approached the demon to inspect it.

"Not bad. Your demon sealing aura is quite powerful, this demon will remain sealed for about 500 years." The person said to the cultivator, who appeared to be very happy about his results.

"Who is that?" Yuan asked.

"He's a fellow lecturer like me. We occasionally come here to watch these junior demon sealers and give them pointers." Wan Yu said.

"I see…"

"Who wants to go next?" The lecturer asked.

"Here's your chance." Wan Yu said to Yuan, who nodded and stepped forward.

"I would like to go."

The lecturer turned to look at Yuan, and to his surprise, there was a Spirit Lord in this place.

"Uhh… Give me a minute to adjust the difficulty. Do you want to fight a demon at the Spirit Lord level, or should I make it Spirit Grandmaster?" The lecturer asked him.

"Can you make it Spirit King?" Yuan asked him.

"S-Spirit King?"

Everyone there looked at him with wide eyes.

"Who's this kid? He wants to fight a Spirit King demon as a Spirit Lord? How reckless!"

"He's probably just seeking attention. He won't last a minute."

'As expected… He's an interesting one.' Wan Yu was the only person there that had a smile on his face that didn't give off the feeling of ridicule.

Once the lecturer adjusted the artificial demon's cultivation to that of a first level Spirit King, Yuan stepped into the arena to face the demon.

"Good luck, kiddo!" Wan Yu cheered him on.

It was at this moment the people there noticed Wan Yu's presence.

"Greetings, Senior Wan!" Everybody there greeted him in a respectful manner.

"Don't mind me, I am just here to watch my new friend." Wan Yu said.

"Friend? That Spirit Lord?" The people there were in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Yuan started his fight with the artificial demon.

After summoning his Empyrean Overlord, Yuan attacked the demon without hesitation.

The demon tried to defend itself against Yuan's fierce assault, but it was having trouble doing so, leaving the spectators dazed.

They couldn't believe their eyes— that a Spirit Lord was putting so much pressure on a demon that was an entire realm above him. Even though it was only an artificial demon, it still has the same prowess as a real demon, so realistically speaking, a Spirit Lord shouldn't be able to push this demon back so far!

"E-Even if he can overpower a demon with pure strength, all of his efforts will be pointless if he cannot seal the demon, as they will simply regenerate all of its injuries." One of the spectators there said, which is 100 percent true.

However, Yuan has only been hitting the demon with normal attacks without using any demon sealing techniques, which puzzled the spectators, Wan Yu included.

While they didn't expect Yuan to use demon sealing techniques with every strike, it also didn't make any sense for him to not use them at all, and this made the spectators' ponder Yuan's thoughts.
