Chapter 579 - 578: Shocking the Underworld, Ingenious Use of Domain

Under the "warm hospitality" of Jin Ritian, Li Jing, who originally planned to sit for a while and leave, stayed for more than two hours.

Helpless.

Jin Ritian really knows how to enjoy life.

Furthermore, he understands men!

Setting up a banquet, however, is a never-ending array of exciting side events.

The hot dance of the Fox Demon Girl Group is just the appetizer.

Subsequently, there were various stage plays and scene plays originating from the Blue Star.

Green Snake, White Snake etc.

The ones who performed were all "genuine" Monsters who played with their hearts.

Those authentic water snake waist twists.

Not to mention the thrill.

The flavour is very appealing.

The banquet eventually came to an end.

Li Jing bid farewell to Jin Ritian, and left the Heavenly Monster Palace with Jin Ling and Jin Yue.

...

The Heavenly Monster Palace and the Beiming Divine Palace are located in the north and south respectively.

Heading north all the way.

Li Jing did not rush to go to the dead place mentioned by Zi Shu immediately. He walked and stopped with Jin Ling and Jin Yue, and along the way, they appreciated the elegance of Zhong Shen Zhou.

Zhong Shen Zhou, it’s like a hodgepodge.

Excluding the power range where the four imperial palaces are located.

You can see a variety of Alien Species, monsters, and some weird ethnic groups in the neutral area.

Different ethnic group clans bring different cultures and traditions.

The relatively chaotic neutral area with no one in charge is not always about fighting and killing, those who live there are still living happily.

Not trying to touch the dark side, you can feel a very diverse culture shock in Zhongyang Zhou.

Jin Ling and Jin Yue are naturally familiar with Zhong Shen Zhou.

But they also enjoy exploring mountains and playing with water together.

Due to their special identities, both of them were carefully protected from childhood.

Going out is not something that the two of them can do whenever they want.

Even if they have the strength of the Emperor now, it’s still the same.

The two of them have a poor reputation within the Heavenly Monster Palace. They are like two mischievous Little Devils who constantly cause trouble, largely due to the lack of freedom they have.

The overprotection from their father, Jin Ritian, is one factor.

The two of them, as the daughters of the Southern Demon Emperor, have been held as princesses inside the Heavenly Monster Palace since they were young.

Even if they are troubled all day and even beaten by the two of them, no one will have any complaints about them.

In this regard, monster cultivators are indeed purer than humans.

As long as Jin Ritian is in power.

The two of them are the little princesses of the Heavenly Monster Palace and can be tolerated no matter what they do.

If it were human cultivators.

I’m afraid it won’t be long before their own father’s reputation is ruined. They will get a reputation for not disciplining their daughters properly, and people will gossip about them behind their backs.

Of course.

Although Jin Ling and Jin Yue are a bit troublesome, they aren’t unreasonable people. They won’t be careless on big matters.

Following Li Jing this time, it can be said that it is the first time the two have left their sphere of influence without the protection of their father Jin Ritian or the Heavenly Monster Palace.

To the two of them, this experience means that even the air is free.

Gradually, the two of them began to loosen up.

After all, they were unfamiliar with Li Jing before.

Jin Ritian depicted him as if he was a man-eating demon.

While the two of them were curious about Li Jing, they were also somewhat in awe, fearing that they might do something that would displease him.

Li Jing has always been thoughtful.

He realized that the performance of the two women in front of him, selling cuteness and playing dumb, was due to the fact they were not familiar with him, and didn’t dare to show their true selves.

This trip is largely due to his hope that the two women can be a little more open.

He doesn’t expect the two of them to treat him like a common friend, but he hopes that their minds be at ease when they think of him.

...

Playing around during the journey, naturally, their journey was delayed.

By the time they reached the sphere of influence of the Beiming Divine Palace, it was the third day.

When they arrived in the corresponding sphere of influence, the three of them didn’t wander about anymore.

The Beiming Divine Palace is like another Northern Immortal Domain, emphasizing "no outsiders."

Here, it’s all about Dead Objects.

Even on the outskirts, zombies, skeletons, and the like Dead Objects can be seen wandering around everywhere.

In the abundant Dead Object population of the Northern Immortal Domain.

Zombies, skeletons and others belong to the relatively low level, but the most massive group of species.

These species could be people, or other beings who have awakened into Dead Objects and picked up cultivation again after death.

Because they are relatively low-level.

They often have low cultivation levels and an intense desire for vitality.

They can see similar things everywhere, so of course Li Jing, Jin Ling, and Jin Yue won’t casually stroll on the ground.

They knowingly go to places where people can’t control themselves and stay alive, isn’t this tantamount to seeking their own death?

This time around.

Li Jing has indeed learned quite a bit.

Heading deep into the territory of the Beiming Divine Palace, along the way, they saw that dead objects were generally moving towards the cultivation level of the Tenth Realm. They were all living normally like living entities.

They even had their cities.

Selling from stalls, shouting their wares, even brothels.

Anything a normal city of the living would have, they had.

Apart from an overall tendency for strong flavors, one really couldn’t see any difference.

Of course.

That’s just the surface.

Not to mention anything else.

The moment a ordinary being would enter such a city, there would be chaotic scenes of dancing monsters.

...

After a while, Li Jing and the others reached the area mentioned by the Rat as the dead zone.

The so-called ’dead zone’.

It was not a barren wasteland like the place of ultimate silence.

On the contrary, there was a great variety of "life" here.

It’s just that these "life forms" were all closely associated with death.

For the corpse cultivation in the Northern Immortal Domain.

The dead zone itself is a very important resource point.

The things produced here are usually what they use in their daily cultivation.

For ordinary living beings, the dead zone is also a rare treasure land.

Here you can find many precious things that are hard to come by.

The corpse grass, which is a deadly poison for the living but also a precious alchemy ingredient, the dead spirit tree stump, which is often used as the main material for forging dark and evil items, all of these come from the dead zone.

You can’t get such things anywhere else.

The appearance of a dead zone has a great relationship with corpse cultivation.

The conditions for its formation are remarkably strict.

Firstly, there must be a large amount of dead creatures frequently active in the surrounding earth realm, with a lot of the death energy and corpse energy they emit while active accumulating there.

Even if these conditions are met, it still requires some opportunity before the nature of the area can change.

In simple terms.

The emergence of a dead zone is inseparable from the gathering of dead creatures.

Throughout the entire Immortal Realm, apart from certain earth realms in the Northern Immortal Domain and the territory controlled by the Beiming Divine Palace in Zhong Shen Zhou, it is almost impossible to find such dead zones elsewhere.

The dead zone before them was extremely close to the Beiming Divine Palace.

The Divine Palace was likely only about a hundred miles away.

Looking down from the sky.

One can already see the towering Beiming Divine Palace standing there, constantly emitting an aura of death.

Looking down further.

As depicted by the Rat.

The dead zone was teeming with a large number of bizarre dead creatures cultivating. They weren’t merely looking for something to aid their cultivation, but all occupied a piece of land and seemed to be waiting for something.

Besides dead creature cultivators.

There were also a great number of human cultivators and Alien Species in the dead zone.

They all managed to perfectly conceal their vitality using some sort of method.

Only those possessing such methods had the "qualification" to coexist with so many dead creature cultivators present at the same time.

An interesting fact.

The dead creature cultivators were aware of this, but they chose to turn a blind eye.

Going into a frenzy upon seeing a living creature.

It wasn’t really something the dead creature cultivators wanted.

It was merely a primal urge that emerged when they turned into dead creatures, and it was so strong that they could hardly restrain it.

At this moment, down in the dead zone.

The dead creature cultivators, human cultivators and Alien Species stayed in their own territories and gave each other space, keeping a certain distance from each other.

After roughly inspecting the situation below, Li Jing turned his head.

"Let’s go, we’re heading down."

Jin Ling and Jin Yue instinctively agreed.

Then they both had a second thought.

"We’re not preparing anything, and we’re just going down like this?"

Jin Yue reacted in astonishment.

Before she could finish speaking, Li Jing had already hurried straight down.

Seeing this, Jin Yue opened her mouth silently, then turned her head to look at Jin Ling.

Jin Ling shrugged helplessly.

"Brother Li must have a plan, let’s just follow him."

With that, she pulled Jin Yue and descended together.

...

Soon, the party of three landed one after another.

In the midst of the dead zone teeming with dead creatures at this moment, their audacious entrance immediately attracted the attention of many dead creatures cultivators.

In an instant.

The eyes of quite a few dead creatures cultivators started turning red.

This.

Was a premonition of an upcoming frenzy.

People of the same alien species as well as human cultivators nearby also noticed them, and many were frowning on the spot.

Dead creatures are extremely sensitive to life energy.

The stronger the vitality, the easier it is to provoke them.

Those who dare to venture deep into the territory of the Beiming Divine Palace must have a high level of cultivation.

If they have a high level of cultivation, their internal vitality is naturally overwhelming.

The three of them appearing in public without any concealment, is akin to openly challenging the self-control, which even they themselves do not have complete confidence in, of the corpse cultivators present.

Are they looking for death!?

Everyone is uncertain.

The three who arrived are all at Emperor Level.

Pick anyone of them, they could flatten the entire land of death with the flip of a hand.

Over here.

Jin Ling and Jin Yue followed Li Jing as he descended. Seeing that many of the dead objects present were about to go mad, both of them instinctively prepared to release their Emperor aura to attempt to intimidate.

While the dead objects have not gone mad, intimidation can still have some effects.

Once they really go mad.

No matter if you’re an Emperor or anything else.

The only thing left in their minds is "attack".

Of course.

Intimidation using the Emperor aura is "effectively treating the symptoms but not the root cause," at most, it’s a display of personal strength to barely calm down the dead objects present.

If they stay for too long, the dead objects who are practicing cultivation would still go mad.

Just as they were about to act, Li Jing turned around.

"Hold it in for a bit."

?

Both of them were puzzled.

Hold it in?

Hold what in?

While they were confused, Li Jing swung his hand and took off the bracelet that restrained his evil aura.

"Boom!"

There was a loud noise.

A massive surge of evil aura rose from Li Jing, forming a terrible ghost in the air.

!!!

Jin Ling.

!!!

Jin Yue.

Li Jing, who had slaughtered countless Alien Species, had accumulated an unimaginably horrid aura of evilness which he had to constrain using a crafted bracelet, this aspect is something their father had "taught" in-depth.

But how does the saying go?

Seeing is believing.

When Li Jing abruptly unleased his aura of evilness, both of them felt their knees go soft.

Regardless of one’s cultivation level, at this moment, it felt utterly insignificant.

In the face of the overwhelming evil aura, Jin Ling and Jin Yue felt like weak little quails instead of Great Sun Golden Crows. They were instinctively terrified and wished they could immediately distance themselves from him.

Such was the feeling for Jin Ling and Jin Yue, both of whom were divine beasts of Emperor Level.

Not to mention the dead objects that were practicing cultivation present?

Dead objects, in essence, are also Alien Species.

However, due to the boundary of life or death, they are categorized separately from Alien Species and are specifically referred to as dead objects.

Those pairs of eyes, filled with blood, saw the overwhelming evil aura erupting from Li Jing and restored their sanity in an instant. Some nearby dead objects silently got up and moved to more distant locations.

This intimidation, one could say, is unparalleled.

Indeed, it was proven.

As long as he made himself look dangerous enough, the dead objects wouldn’t go as far as losing complete control.

The cultivators nearby were stunned.

The Alien Species were trembling.

This is...

Where did this demon star come from?

How is it possible for one person to accumulate such dense evil aura?

Li Jing, with his intimidating evil aura, stomped his foot onto the ground.

"Boom!"

The earth trembled, torn to pieces beneath him.

The dead objects present saw this and their eyes instantly turned red.

But in this wave, they were not going mad, rather, it was Li Jing’s stomp that nearly shattered half of the land of death.

Although the land of death would not be destroyed just like that, the earth looks ugly now. But won’t it be an issue if the good land of death is smashed to smithereens?

Especially since this place is adjacent to the Beiming Divine Palace.

Someone’s act is tantamount to shitting on the head of the Divine Palace!

Yet, facing Li Jing, the dead objects practicing cultivation didn’t dare to express their anger.

Watching the dead objects, their eyes red with rage but dared not utter a word, Jin Ling and Jin Yue, who were uncomfortably close to the overwhelming evil aura, smirked at each other.

This man truly acted, as their father said, in a simple and crude manner.

As they were mulling this over, Li Jing spoke.

"Let’s go."

?

Go?

Go where?

Jin Ling and Jin Yue blinked in surprise, watching as Li Jing leapt into a crevice formed by his foot stamping on the ground.

They couldn’t help but glance into the crevice.

To their surprise, they discovered a whole new world underneath, with a cavern deep within.

Without thinking twice, they hurriedly followed suit.

It didn’t take long.

One by one, they landed inside the underground cavern.

As they found their footing, Jin Ling and Jin Yue discovered many unique plants growing in the cavern — "specialties" unique to the netherworld yet rarely seen. Not only were these plants greatly beneficial to corpse cultivation, but they were also rare treasures to humans and Alien Species.

Here.

Even many Heavenly Treasures were growing.

This cavern was truly a treasure within a treasure trove!

When Li Jing arrived and saw all the good things growing in the cavern, a spark flickered in his eyes, and he opened his field of power.

Then.

All the things in the whole cavern were incorporated into his Little Universe.

"..."

Jin Ling.

"..."

Jin Yue.

What Li Jing did...

was frankly a bit outrageous!

The use of one’s field of power represented the prestige of an Emperor.

For this indisputably prestigious power to be used in such a way seemed rather... unconventional.

Looking at the spotless clean-up operation by Li Jing, one could tell that he was a veteran, having done the same thing many times before.

Yet, you can’t deny.

What they saw right now seemed like opening the door to a "whole new world" for Jin Ling and Jin Yue, who were essentially goody-two-shoes at heart.

So, this was another way an Emperor’s field of power could be used.

The moment Li Jing opened his field of power, the women seemed to have glimpsed a mansion typical of the Western Immortal Realm’s style, which looked very familiar.

It was just like...

The Emperor of the Western Earth’s Mansion which they once visited with their father years ago.

After exchanging silent glances, the two were astounded.

As sisters, they had a deep empathetic connection.

A single eye contact was enough for them to understand each other’s thoughts: spotting the Emperor of the Western Earth’s Mansion in Li Jing’s Little Universe was something that either of them could have mistaken.

It was possible for one person to have seen wrongly.

But not likely for two persons to be mistaken.

So.

Li Jing must have successfully "stolen" from the Emperor of the Western Earth.

They were secretly amazed, and the more curious Jin Yue asked,

"Brother Li, how did you discover this hidden world underneath?"

?

Li Jing responded with a question mark, saying,

"The geomagnetic disturbance. Isn’t it obvious that there’s something fishy underneath?"

"..."

Jin Yue.

Li Jing’s straightforward response told her that she might have been overthinking.

And indeed, his explanation made complete sense.

Usually, geomagnetic disturbances indicate that something unusual is happening underground.

Upon seeing her sister silenced by Li Jing’s retort, Jin Ling laughed and looked around.

"So, Brother Li, what do we do next? This cavern seems to only extend this far. Do we look for other passages or...?"

"This is the entrance to the blessed land. There’s no need to look elsewhere."

Li Jing replied calmly.

?

Jin Ling expressed surprise.

Jin Yue’s eyes sparkled with curiosity, like a curious baby looking over.

Seeing their reactions, Li Jing couldn’t help but chuckle and said,

"Why don’t you two try extending your fields of power to cover this cavern?"

Hearing this, both women used their fields of power out of curiosity.

Subsequently.

They distinctly felt a semi-opened space gateway that hadn’t fully activated yet.

If nothing unexpected happens.

This must be the entrance to the blessed land about to open.

Amid surprise, they both admired sincerely.

The field of power could also be used in this way, truly refreshing their understanding since becoming Empresses.

Moreover, everything made sense.

Everything trapped within the field of power, including space itself.

It was equivalent to being within their own independent world.

While the controller couldn’t necessarily claim everything, they could effortlessly discern things usually hidden from view, leaving nowhere for people, incidents, or things to hide.
