Chapter 264
Four days ago, in Xu Ming’s courtyard, Mo Zhuer took out a box.
When the box was opened, it revealed a heart. The heart was pitch-black, as though it had been soaked in ink for millennia and then coated in a thick layer of oil.
Yet, the heart appeared to be beating, emanating an ominous aura.
“What is this thing?” Wu Yanhan asked, visibly displeased by the object.
“Is this… a demon heart?” Wang Xuan frowned deeply.
“Exactly. This is a demon heart. Elder Wang Xuan, you truly are well-informed,” Mo Zhuer nodded. “This particular heart was discovered by the previous leader of the Black Lotus Sect during a chance encounter in the Desolate Demon Abyss. Judging by its grade, it should be the heart of a Demon King.”
“What’s the purpose of this heart? Can it alone allow Xia He to reach the Ascension Realm?” Wu Yanhan questioned. “If that’s the case, then wouldn’t everyone just go to the Abyss to hunt demons for their hearts?”
Xu Ming, listening to their conversation, felt completely lost. To be honest, he didn’t really understand what demons were.
“That’s certainly not possible,” Mo Zhuer shook her head. “If it were just an ordinary demon, its heart would be useless. Even a Demon King’s heart wouldn’t suffice. If it were that simple, every time a Demon King was slain, humanity would gain an Ascension Realm cultivator. Things are never that easy. However, this particular heart is different.”
