Chapter 1775 - 1776: Demonic Heaven Realm
"Challenge?" Lin Chen furrowed his brows.
The Ice Spirit Fairy continued, "This time, they were clever. They've chosen a place called the Demon World, where only those under thirty can enter."
"The Demon World?" Lin Chen also furrowed his brows upon hearing this.
The Ice Spirit Fairy went on, "To be more precise, the Demon World is an ancient battleground, where the immortals and demons once fought. Choosing this place again, they must have their reasons."
"Are you asking me to help you?" Lin Chen asked with a frown.
"Initially, I thought you were one of them, but now I know I was wrong. I only hope you can protect Wan Er," the Ice Spirit Fairy sighed.
"All sects were invited to this challenge in the Demon Domain. Wan Er, as my only disciple, will definitely have to go. But I just feel the Demon World is a trap, and I can't enter," the Ice Spirit Fairy looked at Lin Chen, her eyes pleading.
Lin Chen nodded, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll go to the Demon World and meet those so-called demon gods."
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the Ice Spirit Fairy was delighted and looked at Lin Chen with gratitude.
"Also, I hope you can keep Wan Er's information a secret for her. I don't want her to bear so much pressure, nor do I want the outside world to know her identity," the Ice Spirit Fairy said solemnly.
Lin Chen nodded, "Don't worry, I won't say a word."
With Shangguan Wan'er's potential so great, if her information leaks, she will certainly be targeted by ill-intentioned people and enemies from the Demon Realm.
Lin Chen told the Ice Spirit Fairy the method to repair the formation.
At this moment, the Ice Spirit Fairy could only use two words to describe Lin Chen: admiration.
Just after Lin Chen left, the Ice Spirit Fairy sighed.
At that moment, a ripple appeared behind the Ice Spirit Fairy, "Bing Ling, you should have prepared for Wan Er's situation long ago, why so worried now?"
"Even though I was prepared, now that it's coming, I still feel uneasy. I didn't expect Wan Er to activate the divine seal so quickly, I fear…"
The Celestial Daoist said calmly, "Don't worry, Bing Ling, everything will fall into place."
"By the way, Ten Thousand Swords Mountain recently sent news that they will also send their chief disciple to participate in this martial gathering in the Demon World," the Celestial Daoist said.
The Ice Spirit Fairy sighed, "I didn't expect we would still live in chaotic times."
The Celestial Daoist looked intently at the Ice Spirit Fairy, "Rest assured, no matter what happens, I will stand by your side."
The Ice Spirit Fairy was moved, "Celestial Daoist, I'm sorry. You've given so much for me, but I…"
The Celestial Daoist sighed, "Everything in the world is destiny. Liking you is also my destiny. Sometimes a result is unnecessary, as long as there is the companionship in the process."
Although Lin Chen had walked far, the conversation between the two was transmitted to him by Xiao Shuai.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly cold Ice Spirit Fairy and Celestial Daoist were a pair of devoted lovers.
It seems I should find an opportunity to bring them together for a happy autumn.
Back in his room, Lin Chen re-entered a state of cultivation.
Lin Chen discovered that ever since he awakened his martial soul, his progress in cultivation was incredibly swift.
These days, Shangguan Wan'er had been continuously training under her master, evidently intending to pass on all her knowledge to Wan Er during this time to provide more protection in the Demon World.
As time passed and the time to enter the Demon World approached, the atmosphere at Jade Maiden Peak became intense.
The selected disciples at Jade Maiden Peak trained hard, preparing for the showdown in the Demon World.
This time, the Demon Domain came with aggression, and although various sects dispatched their disciples, their hearts weren't as united as those in the Demon Domain.
In recent years, many sects fought over mineral veins and territories.
Jade Maiden Peak also had many rival forces, like the Black Tiger Gate from White Tiger City.
Years ago, a battle for a mineral vein saw Qiu Xiang's sister, Qiu Kui, die at the hands of the Black Tiger Gate.
There are too many such grudges, so though it's a battle between immortals and demons, the Demon World is also a place to resolve these sect grudges.
Therefore, this time, they face not only the Demon Domain but even their own allies.
Time flew by, and the day of departure finally arrived.
The plaza in front of the great hall was solemn; everyone knew the Demon World was no ordinary place, filled with bloodshed and danger, where one could easily fall.
In the Demon World, besides enemies of the demon and immortal realms, there were also some beasts.
It's a journey fraught with danger, and entering the Demon World could be described as a deadly gamble.
The area in front of the great hall was grand and solemn.
Lin Chen was currently sitting cross-legged atop the mountain peak.
Streams of spiritual energy were absorbed into the Qi Sea, fully taken by his martial soul, Little Lotus, and transformed into more refined spiritual energy, flowing into Lin Chen's limbs and body.
Beneath the mountain foyer lay the great hall, with tens of thousands of Jade Maiden Peak disciples standing gracefully.
Since Jade Maiden Peak only recruited female disciples and was known for its beautiful mountains and waters, it nurtured them well.
Seeing the elegant figures and slender legs, Lin Chen couldn't help but marvel, this truly was an immortal abode.
No wonder old man Green Python stayed here unwilling to leave.
In front of the countless girls were a few hundred charming young women, all in white robes, their graceful shapes especially pleasing to the eye.
At this moment, the Ice Spirit Fairy waved her hand, and a patch of clouds appeared above the hundreds' heads.
From the clouds, drizzles of fine rain fell.
This is, spiritual rain!
Lin Chen's eyes focused, recognizing that Jade Maiden Peak was indeed extravagant, creating this spiritual rain must cost billions of spiritual stones.
The hundred disciples below displayed delight, their hands forming techniques, refining the spiritual rain falling from the sky into their bodies.
With the spiritual rain being absorbed into the disciples' bodies, their auras surged significantly.
At this moment, Lin Chen's gaze suddenly landed on another beauty.
This beauty was sternly poised, sitting alone beneath a waterfall, yet the rushing waters parted around her.
Illuminated by the sunlight, a colorful glow appeared behind her, exceptionally beautiful.
"Who is this beauty? I don't think I've seen her before!" Lin Chen's face showed curiosity.
Lin Chen stood up, and with a few leaps, arrived before the young woman.
The girl appeared about twenty-four or twenty-five, with long black lustrous hair cascading down like silk, gently wafted by the breeze.
Her face was exquisitely carved, with phoenix eyes and soft brows, like a fairy descending to the world.
Though the girl sensed Lin Chen's presence, she did not open her eyes, yet a fierce aura radiated from her.
Suddenly, the girl opened her eyes, and a cold gleam flashed in her beautiful eyes: "Have you seen enough?"
