This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 214: Heavenly Demon Realm

Xiang Yuan brought Senior Zhuang into the Gate of Yama and stood on a mountain top. He saw two beautiful figures, black and white, both silent, looking in all directions, sensing the changes in the laws of heaven and earth.

I don’t know where this world is. The sky is covered by a thick layer of clouds, with clouds and fog rolling, like a black ocean.

The color of the clouds is deep and strange. It is not a single black color. From time to time, the five colors of gold, wood, water, fire and earth flash by, converging together to become darkness.

The five-colored energy is extremely huge, and is the concrete product of the interweaving of the laws of heaven and earth. Occasionally, purple lightning flashes across, like the roar of the sky, making it difficult for Xiang Yuan, who is trying to understand the laws of heaven and earth, to remain calm.

What poor quality! My neighbors still have to go to work tomorrow!

After several unsuccessful attempts, Xiang Yuan looked extremely unhappy.

Remove the possibility, this world is rejecting him and not allowing him to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth.

You can comprehend it by studying hard, but it takes a lot of time and will be interrupted by thunder from time to time, so there is a risk of going astray.

Xiang Yuan took a step forward, looked down from the top of the mountain, and found that the scenery where he was standing was quite strange.

The surrounding mountains are like huge petals, curved and sharp, with peaks like hooks and claws, as if they were forcibly shaped by some irresistible force.

These petal-shaped peaks are stacked one on top of the other and arranged in a circle, forming a unique ring structure.

In the center of the mountain, that is, far ahead, there is a depression forming a basin of extremely large area.

The terrain around the basin is flat, with trees and strange rocks. The center is shrouded in a thick layer of fog, like a natural barrier that isolates the interior of the basin from the outside world. The fog is so thick that the true appearance cannot be seen clearly.

A strong wind blew by, and the fog rolled thickly, condensing and refusing to disperse.

Such strange terrain and such unique layout of mountains and basins are definitely not the work of nature.

It's man-made!

Looking far away, my sight penetrates the veil of mist and touches a chaos.

Beneath the chaos, glimmers of light flickered, as if some light source was sending out signals.

He was just about to see it clearly when suddenly, an inexplicable backlash force hit him, shocking him so much that he almost fell off the mountain.

"What kind of place is so weird?"

Xiang Yuan steadied his body. Even though he only had innate cultivation, his soul was powerful and he believed that he was not inferior to a cultivator in the Divine Transformation Stage.

The upper limit of this realm is the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage, and the ultimate limit is the half-step peak perfection. With the strength of his soul, even if he could not peek into the true face, he should not be knocked off balance on the spot.

"Junior brother, this is the Heavenly Demon Realm!" Xiao Lingyue looked solemn.

Xiang Yuan was stunned when he heard this. Xiao Lingyue and Chan'er had entered the Heavenly Demon Realm before. Although they completed their mission, they were both seriously injured. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they returned in failure.

What is this? Didn’t get a grade above A, and got another one?
"Senior Sister, I remember you said that there are no human beings in this world?" Xiang Yuan frowned.

"Yes."

Xiao Lingyue's expression became more solemn. He glanced at the sky and said, "According to my speculation, there were originally human races, but the demon race became the protagonists of this world, and the human race no longer existed..."

Kill them all!
Xiang Yuan's breathing stagnated as he thought of the former Dragon Subduing Realm.

During the chaotic times of the demons and the dark ages, the human race there almost didn’t survive.

The Dragon-Subduing Realm was lucky. The upper realm favored the human race and only recruited humans to ascend. The demons were violent for a while, but they couldn't be arrogant for long. The Heavenly Demon Realm...

The topic was too heavy. Xiang Yuan shook his head repeatedly and looked at the basin below. Seeing Chan'er's body shaking, he raised his hand to support his arm to help him stabilize his body.

"Don't look at it anymore. This place is dangerous and strange. The more you look at it, the more you will be hurt."

Xiang Yuan pondered for a moment and said what Xiao Lingyue and Chan'er were thinking: "If I'm not mistaken, the relic is down there. This mission is a bit difficult. Who of you would go down and try?"

"..." x2
Seeing that no one responded, Xiang Yuan continued, "Senior Sister, Chan'er, you have entered this world before. Tell me, what information did you collect last time?"

Xiao Lingyue turned her head to the side, concentrating on observing the laws of heaven and earth, and did not hear what Xiang Yuan said.

Zener had an innocent and silly look on his face, and his big watery eyes showed the clear light of great stupidity and wisdom.

Xiang Yuan: (_)
No wonder he was injured so badly. He dared to rush straight to the target without any intelligence.

Xiang Yuan also knew that the two women did not want to collect intelligence, but the conditions did not allow it. There were no human beings in the demon world, and they smelled so sweet that they would cause people to swallow their saliva wherever they went.

Literally, this is a world of cannibalism!

"At least we need to figure out where we are down there, how to dispel the fog, and whether there are any tricks."

Xiang Yuan rubbed his temples, raised his eyebrows, and said to the two women, "I see that you two have beauty that can make fish sink to the bottom of the water and geese fall to the ground, and beauty that can make the moon hide and the flowers blush. You are both beautiful women who are born with natural beauty. I guess you two have suffered a great loss and must have made some preparations. Tell me, how are you going to pretend to be monsters this time?"

Don't say it, there really is.

The two women simultaneously took out a magic pill and used their own methods to draw the demonic energy around their bodies.

At first glance, it's a genuine changeling.

Looking closely, the demonic aura is outside, but the inside is still human.

"No way, the master will see through it at a glance." Xiang Yuan curled his lips.

"..." x2
Xiao Lingyue continued to look up at the sky, while Chan'er continued to act cute, blinking and saying, "Brother Baihu, you must have a solution, right?"

"It's natural!"

Xiang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a shadow with a long white tail flashed behind him. The demonic energy spread from inside to outside, and anyone who came would think he was a demon who had successfully transformed.

The phantom with a long white tail is Bai Ze, a smart and capable female secretary who knows how to please her boss. She is Xiang Yuan’s favorite mount and also the first choice for impersonating a demon.

However, the Bai Ze transformed by Xiang Yuan was too fragile, and his ability to avoid danger and seek good fortune was not well-trained. It was really inappropriate to use Bai Ze as a vest.

After thinking about it, he switched to Jiuying's demonic shadow, and nine black shadows flashed behind him in succession, with a very impressive momentum.

Once the evil spirit dissipated, Xiang Yuan suddenly felt that the laws of heaven and earth became clear. He looked up at the sky in surprise and discovered that the laws of heaven and earth no longer rejected him and allowed him to observe and comprehend.

The Heavenly Demon Realm has already taken the shape of a demon race.

Xiang Yuan then understood that the reason why the two girls were injured so badly last time was not because they were incapable, but because of the version iteration, they were reduced to blank slate.

It's just that they have amazing comprehension and talent, and they can learn a thing or two by reading books. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would be beaten to the bone.

"Junior brother, where does this evil aura of yours come from?" Xiao Lingyue was greatly surprised.

"Lingyue, believe in your own judgment. The husband you chose is more than capable." Xiang Yuan raised his eyebrows and transmitted his voice. Xiao Lingyue looked unhappy and warned Xiang Yuan not to talk nonsense. Even if she was eaten by a monster and jumped off from here, she would not agree to this marriage, let alone marry Xiang Yuan.

"I know that Senior Brother Baihu got an opportunity in the previous world." Zener raised his hand to speak.

Seeing her innocent look, Xiang Yuan wanted to laugh in his heart. He really wanted to tell Chaner that there was no need to act silly or cute, because Xiao Lingyue was consistent inside and out and was really not a scheming woman.

However, Zener's silly husband's appearance is really pleasing. It's a dark history. Since she likes to play it, let her play it well.

"Let me show you how to do it."

Xiang Yuan took a deep breath, raised his hands and placed them on the shoulders of the two women. The true energy wrapped in demonic energy poured into them, lingering in their abdomens, and patterns appeared on their body surfaces, allowing the two to transform and simply simulate some of the physical features of the demon race.

"Junior brother, the place where the true energy is entrenched... you didn't mess around with Chan'er, did you?"

"Asshole, who told you to do this? Where's the slave girl?"

Xiang Yuan received two voice transmissions at the same time and gave the same reply: "Don't worry, she is at the center of the eyebrows, which is different from you."

"Then I want the eyebrow center too!" x2
"Let's talk about it after the demonic energy is exhausted..."

Xiang Yuan looked exhausted, pointed at the two girls and said, "The demonic energy I simulated is very limited, so I can't help you transform into a big demon. I was afraid you wouldn't like an ugly demon, so I picked two cute ones."

"..." x2
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingyue and Chaner both took a step back.

Both of them had suffered at the hands of Xiang Yuan and knew that he liked to play pranks and would never let go of any opportunity to play a trick on others.

"Senior sister, you are a rabbit demon, Zener, you are a cat girl."

"..." x2
Why rabbit/cat, any explanation?

The two women had never entered the Blue Star Realm, so they didn't know what the bunny girl and catwoman looked like there. After careful consideration, they felt it was okay. After all, it was just a demonic aura to conceal their identities, so there was no need to be too critical.

Besides, he looked tired.

Xiang Yuan treated everyone equally, which made Xiao Lingyue very satisfied. She was afraid that she was given too much care and Chaner would notice something.

Chaner was also very satisfied, but he was afraid that Xiao Lingyue would get too much and would unknowingly overshadow him.

"This is not a place to talk. Let's find a well-informed monster nearby and ask for some information." Xiang Yuan flew up into the sky, looked around, and randomly picked a direction to fly west.

----

Daya Town.

The town once inhabited by humans was replaced by demons and has become unrecognizable.

The streets and alleys were filled with ruins. Most of the shops and houses on both sides of the streets were destroyed, leaving only some dilapidated frames. The towering city walls on all four sides were also knocked down and covered with vegetation.

In the direction of the gate in and out of the county town, this wall was preserved to support the facade, and it is covered with claw marks.

There was a team of demon soldiers in tattered armor patrolling the ruins, some carrying flags, some beating gongs. Ignoring their colorful pants full of holes, at first glance they really looked like the real thing.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, causing sand and rocks to fly all over the street. The demon soldiers hid behind the wall to avoid the wind, but because the wall had been in disrepair for a long time, it could not withstand the wind and was buried by it.

“Ahem…”

"What bad luck! Where does such a strong wind come from?"

"Go back, go back. Why are you patrolling? I'm starving to death..."

When the little demons were complaining, a big demon that had completely transformed into a human suddenly appeared before them. They were so frightened that they knelt down in a hurry and called him "King".

king?

Xiang Yuan raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Look up and look into my eyes!"

A little demon looked up upon hearing this, and felt that the demon king's eyes had infinite magical power. The world spun around after just one glance at him, and he knew nothing after that.

Xiang Yuan raised his hands and clapped his hands, and Xiao Lingyue and Chan'er walked out to his left and right. All three of them had questions, and they asked the demon soldiers.

"What's your name?"

"I was enlightened by King Taisui and have no name. I am the second child in the family, so I will be called Leopard Two." Leopard Head said.

"Leopard Two... you are still honest, why don't you call Lin Chong?"

While Xiang Yuan was complaining, Xiao Lingyue and Chaner had already asked several questions.

After a cup of tea, the three met and exchanged the intelligence they had just obtained.

The demons in the Heavenly Demon Realm are generally divided into two categories. One is to transform themselves after practicing. Those with advanced cultivation can basically transform into human form.

Secondly, after being enlightened by a great demon, the orcs became half-orcs. However, due to the hasty practice, it was not easy for them to cultivate and they had no chance to transform into human form. They could only use a trick to transform themselves into human form.

Daya Town is occupied by a demon king, whose name is Tai Sui King. He wields a nine-ring steel knife and has immense power. At this moment, he is drinking wine and eating meat in the City Lord's Mansion.

What is the situation with the mysterious cliff? Does King Tai Sui have a higher-level demon? With the little demons' dull minds, they can't get a definite answer no matter how hard they try.

"Senior sister, what do you think?"

"Junior brother, please consider it."

That's how it should be. Senior sister, just listen to me.

Xiang Yuan looked at Chan'er and saw that she was pretending to be innocent. Her left eye was naive and her right eye was ignorant. Her face showed that she could be fooled nine times in one night. So he did not ask for her opinion and said bluntly: "The three of us have an advantage in appearance. We can be called great demons with profound cultivation at a glance. We can call ourselves demon kings, but..."

"The sudden appearance of three giant demons will definitely arouse suspicion. If you can't explain it clearly, the ending will be like what happened to you last time, where you were surrounded and chased."

"The current situation of the relic is unclear, so I will keep my identity secret. I will replace the Demon King City Lord here, mingle with the circle of great demons, and extract more information from other demon kings."

Xiang Yuan said a lot, but Xiao Lingyue had the dignity of a senior sister and had no objection. Chan'er was a fool and had no right to speak.

Seeing the two girls nod, Xiang Yuan flipped through the short map and revealed a dagger: "To avoid unnecessary complications, you two should reveal some of your demon appearances. As for your identities, it will be easy to cause trouble if they are too complicated. Let's keep it simple..."

"For the beautiful princess whom this king loves!"

Xiang Yuan's eyebrows danced with joy, and he became more and more excited as he spoke: "Also, you two seem to be sisters with deep affection and inseparable, but in fact you are jealous of each other and want to suppress each other openly or secretly. This part is very important. You should think carefully about the monster setting. If you don't perform well, all your efforts will be wasted. If you fail the mission, everyone will be finished."

"..." x2
"Why are you glaring at me? Is it okay or not? Just give me the answer!"

Xiang Yuan didn't understand at first, but then his face suddenly turned red, veins popped out on his forehead, and he said angrily, "How can this be? Who are you looking down on? I didn't intend to take advantage of you, and I didn't even think about hugging you. It's because this world is too dangerous, and I had no choice but to do it."
