Chapter 316 - 174: Journey to the Little Demon Realm, Feng Jue’s Plea for Help
How Feng Jue went to Wind and Cloud Immortal City, Wen Jiu had no interest in knowing, but he knew that if he were to go from the Far West to the central Divine Fall Mountain Range, he might encounter plenty of spies from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks or Foundation Establishment Cultivators along the way.
Although he didn’t know the movements of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, last night Ping Mountain informed him of the situation with the Prohibition of Living People.
Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks had already locked down the market at the Prohibition of Living People, not allowing anyone to leave without permission.
The purpose wasn’t just to control the Prohibition of Living People but also to investigate the Three Life Gates’ agents. They were also scrutinizing those who had crossed the tribulation twice at the Prohibition of Living People. With such strict control over the Prohibition of Living People, how could the road to the central Divine Fall Mountain Range not be full of spies? Going to Wind and Cloud Immortal City now is akin to walking into a trap.
Expecting Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks to be reasonable and show evidence, honestly, is like expecting Feng Jue to be merciful and compassionate in the future.
"Fellow Daoist, the Sound Transmission Talisman is not omnipotent, and Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks indeed has means to monitor and acquire the messages sent through Sound Transmission Talismans, so there are things that cannot be said through them," Feng Jue explained.
Upon hearing this, Wen Jiu was somewhat surprised.
Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks actually had such means?
Does that mean Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks can listen to the entire Divine Fall Mountain Range at any time?
"How did you come to know this?" Wen Jiu inquired, realizing that it was best to clarify matters involving safety.
Feng Jue communicated via Divine Sense, "When Fellow Daoist Shan was leaving, he mentioned that within Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, there exists an extremely special Tier Three Spiritual Artifact—the Immortal Inference Mirror. It’s said to have developed intelligence, birthed sentience, and can eavesdrop on any sound within a thousand miles.
Whether this is true, I don’t know, but even if there are some discrepancies with reality, it at least proves that Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks does have such means. So, just in case, I request that you personally come to Wind and Cloud Immortal City."
Upon hearing these words, Wen Jiu became even more resolute about not going to Wind and Cloud Immortal City, and immediately communicated back.
"Not going."
After the rejection, Wen Jiu couldn’t help but secretly be amazed in his heart. The means of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks are truly not to be underestimated; they even created such a Spiritual Artifact that can listen to sounds within a thousand miles.
Doesn’t that mean Divine Sense communication will be captured as well? Isn’t it challenging to be exempt even within a Sound Insulation Barrier or an Array?
However, one can imagine that using such an impressive Spiritual Artifact shouldn’t be simple, and its monitoring range is only a thousand miles, so when placed in the Far West, it can only cover one-third of the area.
Thus, the Cultivators of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks definitely wouldn’t bring it to monitor the Far West; at most, they might intercept communications between two places. Unless really unlucky, the chances of capturing transmissions are still quite small.
"Very well." Before long, Feng Jue communicated once more, sighing as he spoke, "Originally, I wanted to invite you, fellow Daoist, to temporarily hide together somewhere, but since you are unwilling to move, I won’t insist."
On the other side, after the communication ended in Wind and Cloud Immortal City, he swallowed a Tier Two Lower Grade Elixir to continue healing. Yesterday, while pursuing a Female Cultivator Wang who was about to leave the Divine Fall Mountain Range, he suffered some injuries, but he discovered a secret that only a very small part of Heterodox Cultivators knew.
At the edge of the Far South, beneath the Little Demon Realm, there exists another "Wind and Cloud Immortal City." It was also created by the Lord of Wind and Cloud Immortal City, but it is both more dangerous and safer than the current Wind and Cloud Immortal City.
The danger here refers to the inherent danger of the Little Demon Realm, while safety means being completely beyond the control of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks. Without the threat of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, it could indeed be considered safe.
What a pity.
Even though he obtained the pass to enter from Female Cultivator Wang, he dared not venture into the Little Demon Realm alone.
Because the Cultivators within the Little Demon Realm are purely wicked and unorthodox, not Demon Cultivators, but each one is extremely vile and very strong. If he were to go alone, he couldn’t possibly kill one and thus gain entry to the Little Demon Realm.
Only with the addition of Han Li would there be a chance.
"No way, I must go personally to find Han Li." Being now wanted, Wind and Cloud Immortal City isn’t a place to linger; even with a false identity, one can only deceive for so long before being discovered.
Only the Little Demon Realm offers a place to take refuge, with the Lord of Wind and Cloud Immortal City along with its inherent uniqueness; even the Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks dare not rashly enter.
As for surrounding the entire Little Demon Realm, the Golden Core Ancestor of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks doesn’t have much time left and is not a match for the Lord of Wind and Cloud Immortal City, much less willing to risk surrounding the Little Demon Realm just to catch a minor player like him.
...
The next day.
This day, Wen Jiu took a casual stroll to Ye Chen’s place, casually mentioning that he was practicing the Yinzhou Heterodox Record, reaching a crucial point, preparing for long-term and frequent closed-door training.
After laying the groundwork, Wen Jiu announced his seclusion on the very next morning, prepared everything, and headed to the Little Demon Realm.
He now eagerly anticipates what the Little Demon Realm might bring, hoping for some surprises; otherwise, solely relying on demon cultivation for Corpse Refining and Blood Nourishing, just to elevate the Three Thousand Blood Inks to Tier Two Middle Realm would require killing nearly twenty Tier Two Demon Beasts.
If it’s only twenty, that’s fine; in the Divine Fall Mountain Range, with some effort, one could gather about twenty.
Then there’s the Blood Demon Undying Bone; Wen Jiu tried nourishing it with Corpse Blood, and the effect wasn’t very good. It takes two pounds of Tier Two Demon Corpse Blood to gain a bit of experience, and a thousand pounds yield merely five hundred.
If he wishes to elevate it to the Middle Realm, he’d need to kill nearly fifty Tier Two Demons, along with the twenty or so earlier, making a total of seventy. That’s equivalent to killing seventy Foundation Establishment Cultivators; not to mention whether he can kill them, it’s doubtful he’d find that many in the entire Divine Fall Mountain Range.
