Chapter 114
After waking up, Shi Xiaoxiao saw Meng Su's concerned face at a glance. Because Meng Su had absorbed too much life force in the Soul Domain, he now appeared exceptionally young.
Shi Xiaoxiao smiled slightly: "Brother, why have you become so young? And handsome too."
Meng Su breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "You have suffered. Where is Yang Mei?"
Shi Xiaoxiao stood up. At this time, nourished by the soul power, she looked a circle fuller, and she had grown quite a bit taller. This made Li Bai, who was on the side, stare straight-eyed.
Shi Xiaoxiao told Meng Su about what had happened in detail.
Finally, she said faintly: "At the critical moment of life and death, I activated the Heavenly Speaker origin. I don't know from how many generations of Pill Saints ago, we alchemy cultivators have had a powerful ability, which is to communicate with the Heavenly Will. But this communication requires soul power as the price, so under normal circumstances, we do not take the initiative to communicate."
Meng Su: "I am also an alchemy cultivator, and a Pill Saint at that, why can't I communicate with the Heavenly Will?"
Shi Xiaoxiao said formally: "Brother also has this ability, but it is best not to use it rashly unless your soul power is formidable. But now that brother has a soul treasure, it is not a big problem. At the very least, it will not endanger yourself."
Shi Xiaoxiao turned her face to look at the sky of the Demon Realm and said: "Do you know why we have this ability?"
Meng Su and Li Bai shook their heads.
Shi Xiaoxiao: "It is not that we have this ability, but that the Heavenly Will of the Demon Realm lets us have this ability. For millions of years, the Demon Realm has never produced a Demon Immortal. Do you know why?"
Meng Su and Li Bai still shook their heads.
Shi Xiaoxiao: "The Heavenly Mandate is incomplete, which is what we often call the incomplete laws of the Demon Realm, so it is impossible to produce a Demon Immortal. The highest realm of the Demon Realm is the Demon Venerable, so the Demon Venerable becomes the Supreme; this is the highest realm for Demon Realm demon cultivators."
"The Heavenly Mandate is incomplete, so it needs to be completed. The first generation Pill Saint, while refining pills, inadvertently communicated with the Heavenly Will and made a deal with it. This deal was: the Pill Saint would help the Demon Realm complete its laws, and the Heavenly Will would ensure the Pill Saint's immortality."
"If the laws of the Demon Realm need to be completed, powerful law pills need to be refined. The heavenly materials and earthly treasures required for that are not possessed by the Demon Realm, so until now, the Law Pill has not been born. The Demon Realm still has no Demon Immortals."
"The laws of heaven and earth are divided into nine major laws, and there are also three thousand minor laws. Among them, the law ranked first is time, followed by space, then life and death, and next are the Five Elements laws; the Five Elements laws are the basic laws that constitute the Demon Realm. Time, space, life, and death are the order laws of the Demon Realm. Next are the three thousand minor laws, including the Origin Law, the Force Law, and so on."
Meng Su and Li Bai listened to Shi Xiaoxiao finish speaking slowly, and only then did they basically understand the composition of the Demon Realm. As for which laws the Demon Realm was missing that caused Demon Venerables to be unable to advance to the Demon Immortal realm, that was the Heavenly Will, and Shi Xiaoxiao did not know either.
The Yang Family had always been eyeing the Danmo Sect, which should be because they had taken a fancy to this Heavenly Speaker identity. However, they were not trying to complete the laws for the Demon Realm, but had other unspeakable secrets.
Meng Su was furious when he heard that Yang Mei had almost tortured Shi Xiaoxiao to death, and he immediately flew into the high sky, intending to kill Yang Mei. He was stopped by Shi Xiaoxiao.
"Brother, even if you chase after them now, you won't be able to catch up with the Yang Family members. They are not us; relying on flying, they will use large teleportation arrays. Once they teleport, they will be ten thousand miles away. How long would you have to fly? Moreover, wiping out the Yang Family Army is equivalent to being in an endless struggle with the Yang Family. The Yang Family Army is an important defensive force in the Monster Forest. They can block the monster tide."
After listening, Meng Su landed hatefully and said viciously: "The Yang Family, I will go to meet them sooner or later. This Yang Family has had many movements recently; I estimate it is not purely for revenge."
Li Bai stepped forward: "Brother Meng, after this matter is over, I will return to the Li Family to meet the Patriarch. The Yang Family sent troops to intercept and kill the Li Family elite; this has already violated the great taboo of the Demon Realm. The Li Family will go to the Yang Family to ask for an explanation."
Meng Su nodded.
The three of them packed up and set off again. The rest of the journey was surprisingly quiet; the Yang Family never sent anyone to harass them again, and the two shadow assassins of the Left and Right Sect also vanished without a trace.
Two months later, the three of them came to another forest. This forest was more vast than the previous wilderness and was filled with thick fog. Meng Su smelled an unusual aura in this forest; this aura was very familiar to Meng Su—it was death Qi.
This was a forest filled with death Qi. Fortunately, the forest was not large, only two or three hundred miles in circumference.
For the sake of safety, Li Bai suggested flying from the air. This forest bulged high, shaped like a steamed bun.
In the air, Meng Su looked at the strange forest below and said to the two of them: "What do you think this forest looks like?"
Li Bai and Shi Xiaoxiao looked carefully, and Li Bai said with a serious face: "Brother Meng, judging from the appearance alone, this forest looks like a huge grave."
Meng Su: "Exactly. This forest is strange, everyone be careful."
Just as Meng Su finished speaking, his brow moved, and the Thought Infant automatically walked from Meng Su's brow to below his forehead. Meng Su saw a huge human face in the forest; this human face was deathly still, with a strange smile on its face.
Meng Su shook his head violently, and when he looked again, there was nothing, only thick fog and tall trees.
Li Bai focused his mind to probe the forest below, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Brother Meng, I felt the aura of Phantom Crystal. There might be a Phantom Crystal mine here."
Meng Su: "Will a Phantom Crystal mine cause passersby to have hallucinations?"
Li Bai: "It will. A Phantom Crystal mine will form a unique field. Cultivators and commoners in the field will have hallucinations, and in severe cases, they will lose their lives."
Meng Su muttered: "Could it be that it was just my hallucination just now?"
The three of them were doubly vigilant. The three of them flew over these two or three hundred miles in the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, and nothing happened.
Meng Su breathed a sigh of relief. The three of them continued to move forward.
Li Bai carried a map of the Demon Realm. He opened the map and looked, discovering that they were not far from Wangmo Corner.
Meng Su looked at Li Bai checking the map and asked: "Is that strange forest just now on your map?"
Li Bai shook his head: "This Demon Realm is huge. The map drawn now is only the area that Demon Realm cultivators have already explored, and this only accounts for a small part of the Demon Realm. Most places, let alone maps, have never been reached by anyone."
Li Bai held the map and looked into the distance. He pointed to a corner on the map and said to Meng Su: "This is Wangmo Corner. This is a birch tip slanted into the Black Demon Sea, surrounded by the sea on three sides and connected to the wilderness on one side. In this place connected to the wilderness, there is also a swamp of over a thousand miles. Various demon beasts run rampant in this swamp. Although demon beasts cannot cultivate, many demon beasts are extremely poisonous, and some demon beasts are immensely strong, so wanting to get to Wangmo Corner from the shore is almost impossible."
"To enter Wangmo Corner, you can only rely on ferrying. On the Black Demon Sea, only Demon Venerables can fly. The spatial laws on the Black Demon Sea are formidable and have a suppressive effect on cultivators. We can only take a boat."
Meng Su nodded.
