I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 385: Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Raising (Subscription Request)

It's dark.

The gorgeous "Heaven and Earth Bridge" glows brightly, blocking out the light of the scattered stars around it, stretching across the night sky like a dazzling galaxy.

The dense forests outside the human race’s fortified city and the Acropolis were completely silent, as quiet as death.

The demons hiding in the dense forest are not deliberately silent, but there are formations set up by the Great Demon King in the Demon Court all around them, which have a certain ability to isolate sounds, conceal their bodies and mask their mental perceptions.

However, with the talents of the great demon kings in the Demon Court, even if they possess the magic techniques of the human race, they still have no aptitude for practicing the art of formations.

Therefore, such a large formation can at most isolate human cultivators below the realm of supernatural powers. To those in the realm of supernatural powers, especially to Chen Yi, whose cultivation has reached the perfection of the heavenly realm and whose swordsmanship has reached the sixth realm, it is like being defenseless.

Even if he didn't use his mind to perceive the dense forest, he could still hear and see everything within a ten-mile radius with just his hearing and vision.

Moreover, with his current height as a wood demon, his field of vision is wider. He can watch from afar all the movements of the surrounding demons, and occasionally look towards the nearest Earth Flame City.

It was the first time that Chen Yi viewed the human race’s fortified city and acropolis from a distance in such a position.

At this moment, the city wall, which was dozens of feet high, looked like a giant dragon crawling on the ground from afar.

On the flat grey city walls are prominent watchtowers and fortresses, which not only do not appear abrupt, but are rather majestic and strong.

It was covered with mottled marks with dark brown blood precipitated in it, and between the marks one could seem to make out the silhouette of the great demon that had left these marks in the past.

While Chen Yi was glancing around, he was listening to Panmu introducing its own situation and what happened on the way from this location to the Barbarian King's Demon Court.

"I am a wood demon of the second level of magical power from the West Third Demon Village of the Demon Court. My name is Panmu. I am under the command of the Great Demon King Di Chi and live in Cave No. 5 in the Demon Village."

"Emperor Chi is the strongest demon king below the pillar level. His father is Emperor Tian, ​​one of the ancestors of the demon court."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. He was actually having a conflict with Di Tian's lineage.

Before, when he went to the Shiwanda Mountains, the half-demon Xiaolan found him the identity of Dihu, the descendant of Ditian.

Unexpectedly, the wood monster that Hu Bayi found was still under the command of Emperor Tian’s descendants.

"continue."

"The Azure Dragon Sword Immortal should be careful. Emperor Chi has already reached the perfection of the Heavenly Demon Realm, which is the Heavenly Human Realm of your human race. In addition to the two seventh-level bloodline magical powers, he has also learned the human race's martial arts and cultivated the way of the sword to the sixth level of magical powers."

The great demon king who possesses the three magical powers is worthy of being ranked below the pillar demon king of the Demon Court.

"In addition, I command 5,000 little demons. The two closest to me are the Water Demon King and the Rabbit Demon. They are both at the same level of magical power..."

After talking for nearly two hours, Chen Yi had a clear understanding of Panmu's situation and memorized it one by one in his mind.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "You should know that there are certain risks in helping me sneak into the Demon Court. Why do you still do this?"

Just like Hu Baiyi betrayed the Barbarian King and chose the Fengyue Demon King for the sake of the status of their fox clan.

But this wood demon seems to be a loner, is it also for the sake of the tribe?
Panmu was silent for a moment, then replied, "Qinglong Sword Immortal, we, the demon race, sometimes envy you humans."

"Do you know the reason?"

Without waiting for Chen Yi to answer, it continued: "Your human race has a heritage, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, military, law and other heritages, thousands of schools of thought contend."

"Although it's not as convenient as my bloodline to pass on, your human race's heritage is more stable."

"In addition to the Dharma, you pay more attention to the inheritance of spirit. The Confucian saints, the Taoists' tranquility and inaction, the Buddhists' merits and virtues to save the world, and the military strategists' expertise in conquest... have been passed down from generation to generation."

“If a lineage dies out one day, it’s not because it is useless, but because it is no longer suitable for this era.”

"But the demons of my race are different."

"The strong are respected. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, choice is always more important than hard work."

"So I chose the same as the Fox King and chose the Wind Moon Demon Emperor."

"It's not that the Barbarian Emperor's cultivation strength is not as good as the Wind Moon Demon Emperor, but the Fox King and I are betting that the Wind Moon Demon Emperor's luck will not dissipate, and that she and your human race will be able to live in peace in the future."

"That's all."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, this statement sounded quite reasonable.

But hearing such words coming from the mouth of a wood monster always made him feel a little weird.

The wood demon seemed to see through his thoughts, and a smile appeared on its wrinkled face under the big red flower:

"Although my cultivation and magical powers are weak, I have lived for seven thousand years."

"When I first gained intelligence, there was a young man from the human race who learned to read and write under me."

"Oh?" Chen Yi burst out laughing. There was actually such a funny thing.

The wood demon grinned, "He is the first human on Tianyuan Continent to stand up against the rule of the demon court. His name is Taiyi!"

Hearing this, Chen Yi looked at it seriously. The name Taiyi was a little special.

The first human to rebel against the Demon Court?

This was the first time he heard of this name.

"Thank you."

"You don't have to be polite, Azure Dragon Sword Immortal. I am not helping you, but to help the Demon Court and the Fox Clan."

Panmu tilted his head slightly and said in a voice transmission: "But please be careful, the Barbarian King is not an ordinary demon, but a great demon king who has inherited part of the ancient demon court."

“Although I don’t know how much inheritance it has obtained, and what kind of trump cards it has, I know that when the Ancient Demon Court was at its peak, it suppressed the Dao Court and Lingshan.”

"This is what was passed down in my bloodline when I was nurtured by the gods."

Chen Yi pondered and said, "I heard from Hu Baiyi that the great demon kings in the demon court have been practicing in seclusion recently?"

Panmu paused and replied, "Indeed, this is also why the Fox King and I think it is the best time for you to sneak into the Demon Court."

"At this moment, not only the Barbarian Emperor and the Pillar-level Great Demon King, but even the King Di Chi in the demon village where I am is practicing in seclusion."

"As long as you keep a low profile, you should be able to travel safely to and from the Demon Court."

Chen Yi nodded in understanding. If those great demon kings were in seclusion, his trip would indeed be safer.

However, his original plan was to investigate the terrain of the area under the jurisdiction of the Demon Court, thinking of going deep into it to take a closer look and then retreating to the human race's fortified city.

But now he is going to try to rescue the captured human soldiers.

The latter is obviously more risky than the former.

A moment of silence.

Chen Yi did not tell Panmu about this idea, and planned to act accordingly after going deeper into the demon court.

Of course, what is more important is that if Panmu knew about this, it is estimated that the calm character that he has cultivated for seven thousand years would be shattered.

"What happens next? If I go from here to the demon village you mentioned, will you stay here?"

When he sneaked into the Shiwan Mountains before, Xiaolan directly provided him with the location of the tiger monster, and he took action to kill it.

At that time, Emperor Hu's identity was enough to allow him to walk sideways in the Ten Thousand Mountains, but Panmu's identity obviously had many restrictions.

Even if he killed Panmu now, he would have to find a legitimate reason to go from the Demon Village to the Demon Court later.

And this might require the order of Di Chi, otherwise he might be discovered by the Great Demon King guarding outside not long after he enters the Demon Court.

Panmu and Hubai had obviously been prepared for this.

"Don't worry, Qinglong Sword Immortal. In a few hours, I will have to take a break and return to the Demon Village tomorrow morning. You can follow me back then."

"As for the future, the Fox King has already made arrangements. He has already given me an order. After I return to the Demon Village, I can go to the Demon Court with the token and report back to him." "At that time, you will take my place in the Demon Court."

Having said this, Panmu paused for a moment, and seeing that he did not raise any objections, he continued:

"But you still have to be careful. The pillar-level demon kings are all near the Demon King's Palace deep in the Demon Court. If you are exposed, you will definitely be surrounded and killed."

Chen Yi nodded secretly. It seemed that Hu Baiyi had already prepared all the details he could think of this time.

fair enough.

It saved him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Okay, what do you need me to do?"

Iwamu glanced at him, and a smile slowly appeared on his wrinkled face again.

"You have the power of illusion, just find a suitable place on my body."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi looked it up and down, then immediately used the [Mask of Delusion Breaking] to transform himself into a branch and stand above its head.

Not to mention that this transformation was quite strange. After the transformation, his body stood on the branches of the wood monster, but it did not affect his ability to observe the surrounding situation.

Even with his eyes open, he could only see two more holes caused by insects on the branch.

Iwamu noticed this and grinned again.

The human race is indeed blessed by nature.

Those with higher talents can, in just a few decades, cultivate to the level of cultivation and realm that demons need hundreds or thousands of years to reach.

And for a talented person like the Azure Dragon Sword Immortal, it only takes ten years.

After that, the man and the demon stopped talking and waited quietly for midnight to pass and dawn to come.

Chen Yi's mental perception covered the surroundings all the time. While he was being cautious and alert, he also heard the conversations of several demon kings in the depths.

"I don't know when I can reach the level of cultivation of King Di Chi, alas."

"Your bloodline inheritance is more comprehensive, so you have a better chance than me. Two thousand years should be enough to reach the realm of Emperor Chi."

"But by that time, the Demon Court should have undergone tremendous changes. It would have been very difficult to obtain the gift from the Demon King like today."

"Yes, before King Di Chi went into seclusion to practice, he said that Lord Barbarian Emperor was considering the loss of the ancient Demon Court's inheritance, and that many of the kings' magical powers and methods had been partially lost, so he bestowed the gift."

"Next time, if you want to get the inheritance so easily, we will need to make equal contributions."

But such words made no sense to him.

Now, he only knows that the Barbarian King has mastered the inheritance of the ancient demon court. Some powerful demon kings and great demon kings naturally know better.

However, except for those great demon kings who received the grace of the Barbarian King, no one else could know what kind of inheritance it was.

The magic methods of the ancient demon court, immortal weapons, or treasures from heaven and earth?
Chen Yi didn't know all this.

At this time, the big demon king hiding in the swamp thousands of miles away said:
"It's too difficult... If the Demon King had led us to completely kill the human race before that, we would have to explore the Taizhou Mountain area to gain credit."

"Speaking of this, I remember that two ancestors had teamed up to break through the Netherworld River and reached the other side."

"Indeed, they have been gone for twenty years. Occasionally, news is passed on, saying that they have found the cave of an ancient demon fairy in a certain realm, and that the fairy is practicing in seclusion there."

"I'm really envious. It would be great if I could also go to the Taizhou Mountain Realm. Even if I can't find the Demon Immortal inheritance or the Great Demon King's Cave, that would be great."

"My cultivation is not enough..."

Hearing this, Chen Yi frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, he relaxed a little.

The Demon Court is separated from the various realms of Taizhou Mountain by only the "Netherworld River". It would be strange if they did not send demons there.

Just thinking like this, another doubt arose in his mind.

With such a unique location advantage, why does the Demon Court stay in a corner and fight to the death with the human race in the Tianyuan Continent?

With their strength, it shouldn't be difficult for them to go to Taizhou Mountain, find a territory, and take it all for themselves, right?

……

The next day.

At dawn, Pan Mu's voice came to Chen Yi's ears, "Hold on tight, Azure Dragon Sword Immortal, I am about to set off to return to the demon village."

After Chen Yi responded, he felt his body shaking a few times, and then he saw the rock rising from the ground.

It did not rush towards the demon village like the evil wind, but used the roots under its feet as feet and walked step by step towards the demon village behind.

"The demon kings in my demon court have a strong sense of territory. Except for those pillar-level demon kings with extremely powerful cultivation and magical powers who can walk and fly at will, other demon kings need to move in a more cautious way when passing through."

"The Azure Dragon Sword Immortal will also need to pay attention to this later."

Chen Yi took note of it secretly.

"In addition, there is the route. After we return to the cave, I will mark out a route map for you to the Demon Court. You just need to follow it carefully."

"If you encounter a demon on patrol during this period, you only need to take out the token to pass."

"Just remember not to answer any of their questions and push them all to the Fox King."

Chen Yi replied with an "OK" and followed Pan Mu all the way deep into the demon palace.

Just as it had said before, when it walked through the swamp, the demon kings and great demon kings along the way were all silent.

Even if a demon king paid it attention, or used its mind to investigate, it would not say a word.

It can be said to be indifferent.

Panmu seemed to be accustomed to this. He took slow but quick steps.

It was not until noon that it brought Chen Yi back to its West Three Demon Village.

Chen Yi did not look at it for long. He just scanned the area with his weak divine sense of being so close yet so far away, and then converged to an area of ​​ten miles in radius to prevent the divine sense from being too strong and being noticed by the great demon kings inside.

This demon village is quite large, with only three hills covering an area of ​​a thousand miles.

Among them there are many great demon kings who are at the first to fifth level of supernatural powers, and each of them stays in his own cave.

Some were practicing, some were sleeping, and some were chatting in groups of three or four.

Chen Yi looked around and didn't think there was any difference between this place and the demon community in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Not long after, Panmu took him back to his cave, found a token and gave it to him.

"Qinglong Sword Immortal, I will use my magical powers to hide in the cave and sleep later. If you return safely, remember to come here to wake me up."

"If you are discovered by the demon court..."

Before it could finish, Chen Yi smiled and said, "If they find me, I will definitely try my best to escape."

He had already planned to find another great demon king to serve as a substitute and cover him after entering the demon palace, so as not to cause trouble to Hu Bai and Pan Mu.

After all, they are now temporarily in the same boat.

After waiting for a while, Panmu used his magical powers to transform into a finger-sized sapling and fell into a crevice in the depths of the cave.

After Chen Yi used his mind to make sure that it would not be discovered by other great demon kings, he transformed into the image of a wood demon named Panmu, took the token, left the cave and the demon village along the predetermined route, and headed towards the Demon King's Palace.

"I have to say, this is really slow..."
