In fact.

The benefits of serving as the dean of this branch sect are obvious.

Not to mention, just the mere existence of this fifth-tier Small Cave Heaven is a cultivation treasure beyond reach for those in the outside world.

But likewise, the responsibilities and risks it entails are equally immense.

At least, until True Monarch Yanfa advances to Divinity Transformation, all this pressure and responsibility will fall on Ji Haoyuan's shoulders.

Yet, this is also something unavoidable.

Given the current situation of the Demonstration Sect, besides Ji Haoyuan, there truly isn't anyone else more suitable for the position of dean.

Even True Monarch Xuanyuan falls short by quite a bit.

Therefore, after confirming this matter, they did not linger any further in the Small Cave Heaven.

Apart from True Monarch Yanfa, Ji Haoyuan, Master Binghuo, True Monarch Xuanyuan, True Monarch Fuguang, and True Monarch Baihua all left the Small Cave Heaven.

At the same time, they returned to the Demonstration Sect gates at the fastest speed.

In the following years.

Batch after batch of cultivators from the Demonstration Sect were brought to the branch sect, reconstructing and improving the mountain gates to better suit the cultivation of Mystic Sect disciples.

Simultaneously, Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo sent messages to the Ji Family and the Crimson Sunset Sect.

This is the best time for outside cultivators to integrate as the branch sect is newly established.

It depends on whether they are willing to let go of nominal ties and integrate proactively.

Fortunately.

Neither the Ji Family nor the Crimson Sunset Sect's cultivators showed much resistance to joining the Demonstration Sect branch.

More than a decade later.

Both Ji Family and Crimson Sunset Sect cultivators successfully integrated into the Demonstration Sect branch system.

At this time.

At the new Nanhua Peak of the Demonstration Sect branch.

A message suddenly landed in Ji Haoyuan's hand.

The message was sent from True Monarch Xuanyuan's side.

They informed Ji Haoyuan that not long ago, a powerful demon, leading numerous demon beasts, massacred several Golden Core sects in the Southern Wilderness Realm.

If nothing unexpected happens, the second great war between humans and demons is likely to come soon.

This time, the scale will undoubtedly exceed the previous one.

Even as Nascent Soul cultivators, they may find it hard to stay uninvolved.

This is obviously not good news for the human cultivators in the Southern Wilderness Realm.

After all, war means turmoil.

Especially in such a great war involving territorial disputes between two races.

Once it breaks out, death is inevitable.

But for the Demonstration Sect, especially for True Monarch Yanfa, who is about to attempt advancement to Divinity Transformation, it might not be bad news.

Once the war between the two races begins.

Then, as one of the three most powerful Divinity Transformation sects in the Southern Wilderness Realm, its attention will be drawn by this war.

Even the Divinity Transformation experts within might be restrained by the Demon Emperor on the demon side.

To put it bluntly.

Although the war is a disaster for many human cultivators, it could very well be the perfect opportunity for True Monarch Yanfa to advance to Divinity Transformation.

It may also be the opportunity for the Demonstration Sect to step onto the pinnacle of the Southern Wilderness Realm stage.

No time could be better than the present.

One can only hope that everything goes smoothly then.

Suppressing his thoughts temporarily, Ji Haoyuan arrived at the back mountain of Nanhua Peak.

Immediately, a portal suddenly appeared.

Ji Haoyuan stepped inside.

In an instant, he was greeted by a surge of dense spiritual qi.

Ji Haoyuan quickly appeared at the closed cultivation site of True Monarch Yanfa.

Afterward, he left the relevant information he had gathered during this time there.

Some time later.

A voice transmission fell into Ji Haoyuan's ear.

"Junior Brother Nanhua, four years from now, I will formally attempt to reach Divinity Transformation.

At that time, I will cut off all contact with the outside world and will close the Small Cave Heaven.

If any emergencies arise during this period, you can make all decisions."

"Hmm? In four years, the formal attempt for Divinity Transformation?"

Upon hearing this transmission from True Monarch Yanfa, Ji Haoyuan's expression became solemn.

He knew that once True Monarch Yanfa took that step, there would be no turning back.

It would be either success or death.

Thinking this, he could not help but bow deeply toward the direction of True Monarch Yanfa's retreat.

"In that case, let me in advance wish you, Senior Brother, a swift victory and ascension to the position of a respected lord!"

With those words, Ji Haoyuan did not hesitate any longer, flashing out of the Small Cave Heaven back to the rear of Nanhua Peak.

Months later.

A message again landed in Ji Haoyuan's hand.

After reading its contents, Ji Haoyuan's eyes slightly narrowed.

Not long ago, Feixing Palace had already issued orders concerning the human-demon war to all Nascent Soul sects.

One of the orders was directed at all major Nascent Soul sects.

It required each major sect to send a Great True Monarch to the designated combat zone within the stipulated time.

Otherwise, at least three True Monarchs must be sent to the designated combat zone.

If not, they will be seen as disobeying wartime commands and will face penalties from Feixing Palace.

Although the message did not specify what penalties Feixing Palace would impose on those who defy orders,

based on previous actions against such sects, they would at least annihilate the sect and sever its lineage.

For the Demonstration Sect right now, this is undoubtedly very bad news.

Because at this time, True Monarch Yanfa clearly cannot go to the designated war zone.

So, they are left with only one choice: send three True Monarchs to the designated combat area.

And during this process, it's hard to predict what might happen or whether unforeseen accidents will arise.

The most important thing is, if such things occur while there's no response from True Monarch Yanfa, those who know him well might become suspicious.

Sometimes, once suspicion arises, it can become quite troublesome.

Because in this cultivation realm, when deciding whether to take action, people often do not require absolute certainty; suspicion alone is often enough.

Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan arrived at Master Binghuo's cultivation abode.

As soon as the abode opened, Ji Haoyuan immediately entered.

"Junior Brother..."

Seeing Ji Haoyuan arrive, Master Binghuo, who was sitting cross-legged on a mat, stood up and asked directly,

"Is something the matter?"

With their current tacit understanding.

Master Binghuo had already sensed something unusual just from Ji Haoyuan's expression.

Ji Haoyuan wasted no time, nodding first at the words.

Then, he handed the message in his hand to Master Binghuo.

"Senior Sister, take a look at this first."
