The road is vague

Chapter 332 Xuanwu Island

Seven days later.

The true demon avatar, together with the Golden Turtle Master, arrived in the waters near Xuanwu Island.

Xuanwu Island is the true sacred island of the Qianzhen Islands, located in the inner sea area of ​​the Qianzhen Islands, and is clearly marked on the nautical chart. The so-called Four Treasures Sea Area, on the other hand, is an outer sea island that does not exist on the nautical chart at all.

There are countless similar wild islands outside of the Senjin Islands.

The Golden Tortoise Master, shrouded in a heavy cloak, paused for a moment.

"This is Xuanwu Island."

Upon hearing this, the true demon clone looked into the distance.

The vast Xuanwu Island was shrouded by a large array, with eighty-one beams of spiritual light shooting into the sky, exuding oppressive power. One could vaguely see a large number of cargo ships, birds, flying boats, and tamed sea beasts constantly gathering or leaving the island, making it an exceptionally busy place.

The true demon clone lightly made a hand seal, actually using the Blood Path Demon Body to unleash the true spirit eye divine power of the original body.

As his gray-white eyes flashed with spiritual light, with the help of his True Spirit Eye after his main body had reached a minor stage of mastery, he could vaguely perceive some of the great forces of heaven and earth.

The island is roughly the size of the entire town of Hua'an.

At the speed of a Golden Core cultivator, it would take about half a day to cross.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth from all directions is constantly converging on Xuanwu Island, forming a giant spiritual eye, where the vegetation is exceptionally lush.

The spiritual veins of Xuanwu Island extend to the surrounding seas, and countless demon cultivators have established caves here. However, since these mountain spirits and water monsters cultivate by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, they do not cause too much disturbance to the spiritual energy of this place.

"It's really good."

Li Mo said it casually and didn't care about it.

He had lived in Qingming Mountain for a long time, which was a true sacred mountain in the Central Plains. In his eyes, the spiritual veins of Xuanwu Island were only so-so.

However, the Golden Turtle Master clearly did not notice the perfunctory tone in Li Mo's words.

He gazed at Xuanwu Island, his eyes filled with longing and admiration, followed by helplessness and a sigh. Finally, he looked at Li Mo and bowed with clasped hands.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I'm begging you."

If he hadn't carefully investigated Li Mo, learned about the true demon's actions from Zhu Wunian, and seen that Dabao Island had indeed been completely transformed, and understood Li Mo's character, even if he longed to leave the Lost Sea and go to the sacred Central Continent in his heart, he would never have dared to take such a risk and try to obtain the identity of an evil god.

As for Xuanwu Island, he had disguised himself and visited it many times, so he was quite familiar with the place.

However, he knew that the Xuanwu Trident God was a transformed demon king comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if it was more gentle than other transformed demon kings, it would never reach the point of accepting humans, just as some people would keep livestock as pets but would never regard them as their own kind.

"kindness."

Li Mo took out the Dark Thunder Heavenly Book.

Upon seeing this, the Golden Turtle Master casually summoned a huge sea fish from the ocean, which struggled continuously within his spiritual light.

"Only in the vicinity of these spirit islands can such plump and delicious sea fish be produced."

After sighing, the Golden Turtle Master handed it over to the True Demon Avatar.

In front of the Golden Turtle Master, the True Demon Avatar revealed its demonic and evil god form. It was over two zhang tall, had no gender characteristics, had a long tail with wings on its back, a pair of huge curved ram horns on its head, and its skin was covered with many patterns. Something seemed to be constantly wriggling beneath it, exuding a demonic and evil plant spirit aura.

If he were in the Central Plains, displaying such a physique would surely make him a demon, and he would not be easily accepted.

But here, there are countless ferocious monsters of all shapes and sizes, whose appearances are those of ordinary people and would not attract any attention.

On the contrary, those beings that resemble humans.

Aside from being a true human, the real terror lies in being a transformed great demon king.

The true demon clone grabbed the sea fish with its left hand, and lightly scratched the sea fish with its right fingernail. After drawing out some blood with its demonic power, it casually discarded the sea fish and then gently pointed at the Dark Thunder Heavenly Book.

The Dark Thunder Tome, having undergone a blood sacrifice, exudes a hint of evil energy.

"So-called cultists are essentially descendants of great demons, only their bloodline is too thin, and due to later modifications, they have lost the ability to reproduce. The amount of these evil energies is not large, not enough to convert a cultist, but it should be enough for you."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Golden Tortoise nodded in satisfaction.

He immediately used a secret technique to remove the golden tortoise shell magic artifact from his body. After absorbing the evil energy, the original golden tortoise shell suddenly became extremely ferocious. As the Golden Tortoise Master put it back on, his whole person also became awe-inspiringly evil.

The demonic clone witnessed the entire process, and its gray-white eyes suddenly understood, prompting it to nod in approval.

“It’s really good!”

The sinister-looking Golden Turtle Master made a gesture of cupping his hands in a fist salute.

"Master, please."

"kindness!"

After a short while, Li Mo arrived at the coastal city of Xuanwu Island.

The Golden Turtle Master looked puzzled.

"Master, this is the living area of ​​low-level demons. To obtain the Evil God's token or to trade for what we need, we need to go to Tiankui City on the island."

Upon hearing this, the true demon avatar did not leave.

He looked thoughtful as he walked through the streets amidst all sorts of strange beasts.

"I plan to familiarize myself with the local customs and culture first."

"Local customs and traditions?"

Golden Turtle Master naturally did not know that Li Mo had not escaped from the Lost Continent, and that he knew very little about the true customs and culture of the Lost Continent.

At this moment, among all the strange and grotesque monsters that Li Mo could see, the pig demon, rat demon, snake demon, and turtle demon were the most numerous.

Of these four types of monsters, the Lost Continent has the largest number, but their status is relatively low.

The reason they have a low status is not because there is a lack of high-level demon cultivators, but simply because their numbers are too large. Even high-level demons of the same kind will not take special care of their junior demon cultivators.

Because of its exceptionally large population, it naturally gave rise to many high-level transformed demon kings, who had a greater say in the pantheon, which further consolidated its massive numerical advantage.

The image of the true demon avatar and the Golden Tortoise Master makes one instantly recognizable as an evil god as they walk down this street.

The nearby monsters would deliberately avoid the two. Their fear of the two was not due to their race or bloodline, but rather to their cultivation level. After all, this was just a small coastal town, not Tiankui City, where high-level monsters gathered.

At the same time, Li Mo also had some doubts.

The monsters here are actually able to become sentient and develop intelligence at the Qi Refining stage?

Do they have demon cores inside their bodies?
It wasn't until Li Mo saw a fat, big-eared pig demon walking with a group of cubs that he suddenly realized something.

"Could it be because the monsters here are the offspring of demons who have become spirits, which greatly improves the aptitude of their offspring, making them similar to humans with spiritual roots, while the vast majority of monsters on the Central Continent are first-generation demons who have become spirits?"

This boar demon, although it speaks human language, is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Therefore, its appearance is no different from that of a wild boar, only larger and more ferocious, and it has not yet transformed into a human form.

In this small city, a demon cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage already holds a high status.

However, when it looked up and noticed the evil god-like true demon clone walking towards it on the street, it was immediately taken aback. Like the other demon cultivators, it led its cubs to hide on the side of the street and avoided Li Mo.

"Daddy, Daddy, what kind of demons are those two?"

They look even scarier than you!

"Yeah yeah!"

The pig demon quickly signaled to the cubs behind him to shut up.

Only after the true demon avatar and the Golden Turtle Master had gone far away did the pig demon breathe a sigh of relief and patiently begin to explain.

"Those are cunning beings, also known as evil gods. They have cultivated for many years and have mastered unparalleled power. If you see them in the future, you must stay away."

"So this is the evil god! My God, how terrifying!"

"So humans can become spirits too."

"Dad, when can we go to the countryside again and see the people in the villages? I haven't seen any humans in so long..."

The True Demon Avatar, accompanied by the Golden Turtle Master, arrived at a tavern.

The bull demon in charge of reception, wearing an apron, walked over like a human.

"Please have a seat, sir. Would you like something to eat?"

While entertaining the important figure Li Mo, it casually took away the bowls and plates of the rat demon next to it, making room for the true demon clone.

These tiny rat demons dared not speak out against their anger.

They are generally only three or four feet tall, about half the height of an adult human. Next to the true demon clone in the form of an evil god, they are not even as tall as his knees. Even the huge bull demon only reaches his waist.

However, this hotel is one of the few buildings that can accommodate him.

The demon clone took the menu. Even though he was somewhat prepared, he still felt nauseous when he saw that there were quite a few dishes made from human ingredients. In the end, he patiently ordered some dishes that he considered normal.

Upon seeing this, the bull demon instinctively offered his suggestion.

"Would you like some meat dishes, sir?"

The demon's clone, with its greyish-white eyes, looked down at the bull demon and glared at him coldly.

The bull demon was intimidated by the aura of the true demon clone and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He stopped talking and his human-like gait changed to a beast-like gait as he carried Li Mo's request to the kitchen.

The Golden Turtle Master beside him had anticipated this. In his evil god form, he resembled a humanoid demonic turtle, his dark shell radiating an aura of malevolence.

The dishes made by monsters emphasize the original flavor, and the vast majority are eaten raw.

There were rice balls wrapped in sashimi and served with sauce, chunks of meat wrapped in seaweed, fermented fruit and dairy products served with ice, and coconut stewed meat everywhere. Li Mo had gone from not being used to the food at first to gradually getting used to the taste.

At the same time, Li Mo noticed that the people here seemed to have a special fondness for mushrooms, though he wondered if it was a specialty of this hotel.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Li Mo threw a handful of copper coins on the table and left with the Golden Turtle Master.

The currency here is also made of gold, silver, and copper, but it is not in the form of copper coins or ingots from the Middle-earth. Instead, it is uniformly shaped like a knife with a hole in the handle through which a thread can be passed. At the same time, it seems to be greatly valued due to the lack of the essence of metal.

"Sir, please take care!"

The bull demon laughed and shouted.

The two quickly toured the small coastal town before leaving and flying towards Tian Gui City.

There are many villages on the island, inhabited by humans.

The village is surrounded by vast farmlands, and inside the village are various statues, which are used by the local monsters to absorb human energy, and at the same time, they will receive the protection of these monsters.

However, these are things that only need to be considered when a demon transforms into human form.

Logically speaking.

All humans on Xuanwu Island are the property of the Trident God.

However, this great demon will obviously not lack popularity. At the same time, there are quite a few demons that have transformed on Xuanwu Island. Not all demons can obtain a divine position after transforming.

After all, there are only so many spirit islands in the Senjin Islands.

Therefore, some Nascent Soul stage demon kings without divine positions would go to those large spirit islands, rent villages after paying some price, erect their own statues, and absorb and store up some popularity.

"It truly lives up to its name as a spiritual island; the crops are growing so well. If Little Zhen Island had even half the harvest here, things wouldn't be like this."

After Li Mo finished speaking, he looked at a wasteland in the distance.

The little demons in charge of managing the two villages were actually driving the young men and women who had just come of age in their respective villages to gather here and mate like livestock.

The pig demon and the ghost demon sat together like shepherds, laughing and talking about how to successfully mate.

"Ugh."

Master Jin Gui sighed, a hint of bitterness in his eyes.

Li Mo comforted him, saying, "It seems that the fact that we've survived until now is already an incredible stroke of luck."

Li Mo's words seemed to touch the Golden Turtle Master, who gave a low "hmm" and seemed to be thinking about something.
