Chen Ping retreated to a naturally formed hidden grotto in the deepest part of the valley.

The entrance was narrow, but inside stretched a unique cave heaven. Faint natural textures on the stone walls isolated the interior from exploration—exactly what he needed.

“Senior, please guard me here. No one is allowed to disturb me,” Chen Ping instructed the Red Cloud Demon Lord, who followed closely behind.

He could not risk letting anyone know the secret of the Demon Suppression Tower. People were unpredictable. If word spread about a device that could manipulate the flow of time—a precious commodity for any monk—it would surely draw dangerous attention.

The Red Cloud Demon Lord’s scarlet eyes glowed solemnly. “Don’t worry. With me here, not a single fly can get in. Recover in peace.”

Chen Ping nodded silently and stepped deeper into the grotto. With a wave of his hand, he set up simple but effective warnings and shielding prohibitions. Then he sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and the faintly glowing Demon Suppression Tower appeared in his palm.
