Chapter 584: The Vast Demon Realm

~11 min read 2,102 words

And now, the cultivators living in the Immortal Domain only know that the spiritual energy of the Immortal Domain is exceptionally dense, but they do not know that it is precisely because of this dense spiritual energy that a realm was destroyed!

If it weren't for the fact that the outcome of this trip to the Demon Realm is unpredictable, Bi Yuyang likely would not have spoken of this matter so easily!

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why the Immortal Domain Sixteen Chambers would treat the Bi Family with such favor! Even when the Bi Family didn't have a single Integration Stage cultivator, they were still given a large amount of benefits!"

Du Hui gave a cold, light chuckle. The Du Family was completely different from the Bi Family; they were located in the territory of Jile Temple, surviving almost in the cracks, and every descendant in the family who possessed the Xuanwu True Spirit bloodline was an extremely precious occurrence!

"Fellow Daoist Du, don't say that! The main reason the Bi Family is favored by the Immortal Domain Sixteen Chambers is that the Bi Family's ancestors participated in the 'Ten Thousand Year Calamity' war! And they paid a heavy price for it!"

Hearing the sour tone in Du Hui's words, Bi Yuyang immediately stiffened her expression and said. Because of the two's conversation, the surrounding atmosphere immediately became tense!

At this moment, Xu Ren laughed and played the peacemaker:

"Two fellow Daoists, these are all old, stale matters; is there any point in bringing them up now? Don't forget the purpose of our trip! As long as we find the True Spirit Remains, are we afraid that the Four Great True Spirit Families won't rise in the future?"

"Fellow Daoist Xu is absolutely right; those are all things of the past!"

Chen Li also chimed in from the side. With the two of them mediating like mud-mixers, the previous uneasy atmosphere was finally dispelled!

Zhang Nuo, however, was constantly pondering this matter in his heart. It seems that once one's cultivation reaches a certain level, even something as heaven-defying as stealing the spiritual energy of a realm can be done!

The five people slowly landed on the ground. At this moment, Bi Yuyang gently flipped her jade hand, and a Jade Slip appeared in her palm! She sank her Divine Sense into it, and after a moment, she withdrew it!

"Three fellow Daoists, the place we are currently in is the outer perimeter of the Demon Realm. Fortunately, it is not a major area of the Demon Realm, so it will not attract the attention of demon cultivators! According to our prior agreement, we will first help whoever is closest to their True Spirit Sacred Beast remains! This place is closest to Fellow Daoist Du's Black Tortoise True Spirit Remains, so let us accompany Fellow Daoist Du on a trip first!"

Because the four of them had tampered with the teleportation array in the 'Nine Lives Desert', the light of the teleportation array had deviated from its course, causing them to appear in this place. If they had teleported directly into the Demon Realm's teleportation array, they would likely have had to expend some effort!

However, for the Four Great True Spirit Families, the closer one is to their own True Spirit Remains, the more advantageous it is. After all, having just arrived in the Demon Realm, they haven't lost too much mana. If they were to fight several major battles in the process of searching for the True Spirit Remains, then by the time it reached the last family, the probability of obtaining the True Spirit Remains would be much smaller!

Du Hui's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with joy. Truly, heaven is blessing him; this place is actually closest to the Black Tortoise True Spirit Remains! It seems he has hope of being the first person to obtain the True Spirit Remains!

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I am very grateful that we were able to arrive in the Demon Realm smoothly this time. Our Four Great True Spirit Families do not expect you to help us, Fellow Daoist. I wonder if you have any plans for your next step?"

Bi Yuyang turned her beautiful eyes to look at Zhang Nuo. She saw that ever since he landed on the ground, he had been using his Divine Sense to probe the surroundings, as if he hadn't heard the four of them talking at all! It wasn't until Bi Yuyang called him that he snapped out of his trance!

"I will not participate in the four of you's affairs. I also have things to do upon coming to the Demon Realm, so I will bid you farewell here. Furthermore, although we have arrived in the Demon Realm, returning is still a problem. It is best to find the location of the cross-realm teleportation array for our return beforehand. Let's do this: I will be responsible for this matter. You four fellow Daoists can each leave a Sound Transmission Talisman imprinted with your Divine Sense Mark. Once I find the array for returning, I will use these talismans to notify you!"

Zhang Nuo's meticulous planning solved the worries of the four!

"Fellow Daoist Zhang is truly thoughtful, and has helped us a great deal without even realizing it! Let's do this: I, this old man, will thank you first, Fellow Daoist. If there is a chance to return to the Immortal Domain in the future, as long as you speak, my Xu Family will definitely assist with all our might!"

Xu Ren's old face bloomed like a flower. He was the first to take out a Ten Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Talisman, imprint it with his Divine Sense Mark, and hand it to Zhang Nuo! The other three were equally delighted, said some words of thanks to Zhang Nuo, and one after another presented a Sound Transmission Talisman!

Zhang Nuo tucked the Sound Transmission Talismans bearing the four's Divine Sense Marks into his bosom, gave a slight cupped-fist salute, and then transformed into a streak of light, speeding away in a certain direction of the Demon Realm!

In fact, his claim of having business in the Demon Realm was just an excuse. He was a stranger to the Demon Realm and had only obtained a Jade Slip with a map of the Demon Realm from Bi Yuyang! The reason he did this was that he didn't want to take risks for other people's affairs!

What the True Spirit Families wanted to obtain were the True Spirit Remains, which held no benefit for Zhang Nuo at all. Moreover, the location of the True Spirit Remains was the most critical area of the Demon Realm. If he were to encounter a powerful demon cultivator and lose his life because of it, it would not be worth the loss. It would be better to walk and train in the Demon Realm by himself; perhaps he would have major gains!

Holding this intention, Zhang Nuo decided to leave alone!

Watching Zhang Nuo's escape light disappear at the edge of the horizon, Bi Yuyang sighed softly and said:

"This person hasn't been in the Immortal Domain for long, but the waves he has stirred up are not small! If he were willing to lend us a hand, things might be even easier! It's just a pity that Zhang Nuo is so cautious; he would absolutely never do anything that doesn't yield a profit!"

"Being able to obtain the method to enter the Demon Realm from him is already not bad! We of the True Spirit Families also don't wish for outsiders to interfere too much!"

Chen Li said with a cold expression.

"Exactly! How could the secret of the True Spirit Bloodline be known to those outsiders? Even if Zhang Nuo obtained the True Spirit Bloodline, it would be in vain if he didn't know the method to use it!"

Du Hui snorted coldly!

"Let's go too! Staying here for too long will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the demon cultivators!"

Bi Yuyang let out a long sigh and, leading the three, rushed toward the place where the Black Tortoise True Spirit Remains were located!

Leaving aside the people of the Four Great True Spirit Families to search for the True Spirit Remains, we shall turn back and continue to talk about the protagonist of this book, Zhang Nuo!

Entering the Demon Realm for the first time was an eye-opener for Zhang Nuo. This was a place completely different from the Immortal Domain. Although the Demon Realm had long since fallen into ruin due to the exhaustion of the Main Spirit Vein, one could still see its extraordinary past from various ruins!

Two years later, Zhang Nuo appeared in a city in the Demon Realm. Because he had taken a 'Pseudo-Demon Pill', no one noticed his difference while walking in the city of the Demon Realm; they simply regarded him as a transformed demon beast! Moreover, Zhang Nuo deliberately restrained a portion of his cultivation.

Now, from the surface, he looked at most like he was in the Spirit Transformation Mid-Stage!

This city in the Demon Realm was completely different from human cities in the Immortal Domain. There were not many pavilions or halls; the most common things were buildings that looked like caves!

After simply understanding the situation in the city, Zhang Nuo stepped into a workshop. Although Zhang Nuo had no way to practice the cultivation techniques of the Demon Realm, some materials could still be used! Going to the workshop to look around, he might just find a few pieces of high-quality materials!

Especially things related to fusing the Nine Divine Seas were his top priority!

Due to the Demon Beast Tide, there were almost no customers in the workshop, and even if there were demon cultivators coming and going, their cultivation was very low, with none exceeding the Eighth Rank!

Glancing into the workshop, Zhang Nuo came to the front of the counter. He saw a Sixth-Rank small demon that had not yet transformed standing there bored. This demon looked like a monster pig standing on its hind legs! Tusks half a foot long protruded from both sides of its mouth, and occasionally, 'oink' sounds came from its mouth!

Suddenly seeing someone arrive, the Tusk Pig Demon raised its head. A sweep of its Divine Sense revealed that Zhang Nuo's cultivation was not weak, so it hurriedly said:

"This senior, I wonder what you would like to purchase in our workshop? Is it a Magic Treasure, a cultivation technique, or various materials?"

As if it hadn't seen a high-rank demon cultivator in a long time, the small demon said respectfully.

"I need a few types of materials, but I don't know if your workshop has them. How about this: you list the most precious materials in your workshop for me to hear! If you don't have them, I will leave immediately!"

Zhang Nuo spoke very straightforwardly, possessing a bit of the dominance of a high-rank cultivator! When the Tusk Pig Demon heard this, a look of excitement flashed in its eyes! Finally, a big customer had arrived. It immediately straightened its expression and began to list the names of various precious materials in the workshop! As it spoke, it kept oinking and grunting, looking very comical!

Pricking up his ears to listen, until the small demon had finished saying everything, Zhang Nuo shook his head slightly. Among these materials, there was not a single one he wanted!

With a light wave of his hand, Zhang Nuo didn't bother to waste words with the small demon and was about to walk out of the workshop, but at this moment, a loud, resonant voice came from the back of the workshop!

"If the fellow Daoist wants better materials, why not come inside and talk!"

This voice had a metallic texture that made one's heart flutter! With Zhang Nuo's current supernatural powers, he still gasped in surprise!

"What an overbearing cultivation technique!"

He secretly thought to himself, then stopped his footsteps and released his Divine Sense to probe into the back of the workshop! He saw a man who looked to be in his fifties standing in the courtyard behind the workshop. His cultivation had already reached the Spirit Transformation Late Stage, and he was fully transformed with his intelligence completely opened!

Having a bottom line in his heart, Zhang Nuo stepped toward the backyard of the workshop, and the Tusk Pig Demon did not stop him, simply letting him enter!
