Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 418 Luckily, I'm a cut above the rest!
These words immediately eased the atmosphere.

The young demon geniuses who had come with Yan Ruyu also breathed a sigh of relief, and they all changed their expressions, chatting and laughing with Su Haoming and the other two, without mentioning anything about the Ji family or the divine body.

Those who came to greet Yan Ruyu and the Green-Clad Little Dragon King were certainly not reckless individuals.

Even if they had some reservations about the affairs of the Southern Region, they would never offend the neutral Immortal Palace because of it.

Only Ji Ziyue and Yan Ruyu seemed to be at odds. The former was because of Ye Fan's previous words, while the latter was still thinking about the encirclement and the disappearance of the Demon Emperor's Heart.

Fortunately, there were three other group members and the Green-Clad Little Dragon King. With their initiative, the confrontation between the two women remained only at the level of words and did not escalate into a more heated exchange.

He Jingfeng and the others were eager to befriend the Green-Clad Little Dragon King.

After all, this guy controls the cave on behalf of his father and has the right to open the treasure vault.

All three group members were eyeing the treasures in the vault, so they naturally wanted to build a good relationship with the Azure-Clad Little Dragon King and see if they could exchange cheap goods from the mall for treasures from the vault.

Just as the three group members were enjoying a pleasant conversation with the Azure-Clad Little Dragon King at the banquet, outside the cave world, a dignified old man stood on the shore, gazing solemnly at the celestial ship in the sky.

Just then, two streams of light emerged from the cave and transformed into Jiang Yi and the Peacock King beside the old man.

"Seventh Brother, you're finally back!"

Jiang Yi smiled and walked to the old man's side, revealing the man's identity.

—It was Tu Tian, ​​ranked seventh among the thirteen great bandits!
Tu Tian frowned, turned to look at Jiang Yi, and asked, "Why is the Immortal Palace's immortal ship here?"

Jiang Yi and the Peacock King exchanged a glance, and Jiang Yi immediately smiled and told him what had just happened.

"I see!"

Tu Tian breathed a sigh of relief, then said thoughtfully, "As a disciple of the Immortal Palace, I am willing to accept your invitation to visit Fourth Brother's cave."

"Judging from this, the Celestial Palace and the Ji family don't seem to have that deep a relationship!"

"Of course!" Jiang Yi laughed. "The Immortal Palace has only taken the little princess of the Ji family as a disciple. If that's considered a binding agreement, wouldn't all the major holy lands and aristocratic families have already formed a united front?"

"That's not what I'm talking about!"

Tu Tian shook his head, then glanced at Jiang Yi and the other two and said, "You don't know yet, do you? Just a few days ago, the Ji family suddenly visited various holy lands to announce the arrival of that old monster from the Immortal Palace."

"They keep bringing up the 'three-month apprenticeship' agreement between that old monster and the little princess of the Ji family, both openly and secretly, clearly trying to use his name to intimidate the Northern Region."

"I returned from this trip with news that I wish you to temporarily halt your operations..."

Jiang Yi and the Peacock King exchanged a glance, both of them feeling a stirring in their hearts.

"So, that old monster has also come to the Northern Region?"

"They've arrived, and quite a few people have seen them."

"But he's not on the fairy ship!"

"Perhaps something has happened..."

At this point, all three of them fell silent.

After a moment, the Peacock King said thoughtfully, "Now it seems that the Celestial Palace and the Ji family are not that close, not to mention the Yao Guang Holy Land."

Tu Tian chuckled lightly, "So, our plan..."

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Of course we'll continue!"

……

……

Time flies, and another week has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this week, the three group members did not rush to the Holy City. Instead, they stayed temporarily in the Azure Dragon King's cave. While they became sworn brothers with the Azure Dragon King, they also intentionally or unintentionally showed off various good things in front of the demons.

The more you show off, the more people will inevitably come to you to make a deal.

He Jingfeng and his two companions accepted all offers without hesitation, as long as the items offered were rare enough, they were willing to exchange them.

Gradually, even the Azure-Clad Little Flood Dragon King couldn't resist visiting He Jingfeng and exchanging his collection of treasures for a few drops of the essence blood of the Ancient Void Dragon from the Doupo World next door.

However, He Jingfeng's target was not the personal collection of the Green-Clad Little Dragon King, but the treasure trove of his father, the Green Dragon King.

Unfortunately, with the Azure Dragon King gone, and without his father's orders, the Azure-Clad Little Dragon King dared not tamper with the treasure vault, thus preventing He Jingfeng and his group from succeeding.

Even so, He Jingfeng and his two companions remained completely calm.

Because they still have many powerful moves to make.

The most powerful of them all is the Longevity Pill, which Lin Yu himself refined.

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, due to the constraints of the laws of heaven and earth, all kinds of life-extending treasures are greatly weakened.

A creature that could extend the lifespan of a thousand years in other worlds would only live for thirty to fifty years here at most.

For this reason, Lin Yu's longevity pills actually showed normal medicinal effects. Even the weakest one was estimated to have the effect of extending lifespan by a hundred years.

Faced with such a tempting lifespan extension, the group members remained as steadfast as ever, unconcerned that the Little Dragon King and the Old Dragon King wouldn't be tempted!

Of course, longevity-extending elixirs are extremely precious.

The group members don't plan to reveal anything until Lin Yu returns or the female corpse takes over.

While Ji Ziyue and the three group members were temporarily staying in the Azure Dragon King's cave, Ye Fan on the other side was not idle either. He finally found the source mine of the Yao Guang Holy Land in the plot.

But just as he arrived, an accident occurred at the source mine.

An ancient pyramid suddenly emerged from the mine, alarming the Supreme Elder who was in charge of the mining area.

The Supreme Elder quickly relayed the information, and the Holy Lord of Yaoguang rushed over with the Holy Lord of the Ji family, only to stumble right into Jiang Yi and his group's trap.

Thus, the Holy Lord of Yaoguang, the Holy Lord of the Ji family, the fourth great bandit Qingjiao King, the seventh great bandit Tutian, the ninth great bandit Jiang Yi, plus the Peacock King who had been holding back his anger for half a month.

Six powerful beings at the Saint Lord level appeared and engaged in a fierce battle in the mine.

With four against two and the advantage of going first, theoretically, the Holy Lord of Yaoguang and the Holy Lord of Ji family should not be a match for them.

But to our surprise, they were so cautious that they brought the Supreme Emperor Weapon, the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, with them before they arrived.

With the blessing of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, the two sides were evenly matched. Even when Tu Tian unleashed the incomplete Devouring Demon Jar, he could not gain the upper hand against the two Holy Lords. For a moment, the sky darkened, and the sun and moon lost their light.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Ye Fan could no longer suppress his greed and immediately changed his appearance, pretending to be a disciple of the Yao Guang Holy Land, and sneaked into the warehouse where the source ore was stored.

There, he encountered another petty thief who stole mineral resources, Tu Fei, the grandson of Tu Tian, ​​the seventh bandit leader.

This person's personality is just like the one in the original story, which suits Ye Fan's taste perfectly. The two are birds of a feather, bickering and arguing while swiftly ransacking the warehouse.

On their way out of the warehouse, they encountered the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang and fought with her.

Finally, Ye Fan found an opportunity to get close to the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang and threw a Crimson Lotus Pulse Grenade, almost blowing the stunningly beautiful Holy Maiden half to death.

The intense energy fluctuations caught the attention of the Holy Lord Yao Guang.

Upon realizing that the fluctuation was coming from the source ore warehouse, the Holy Lord Yao Guang was furious. He immediately drew his hand and struck the two thieves whose appearances he could not see in the direction of the warehouse.

Fortunately, Ye Fan possessed a fragment of the Xingzi Secret, and his movement techniques and speed far surpassed those of cultivators at the same level.

Furthermore, due to the pressure from Jiang Yi and others, the Holy Master of Yao Guang had no choice but to act hastily, thus failing to hit Ye Fan.

After narrowly escaping the attack of the Holy Lord of Yao Guang, Ye Fan and Tu Fei dared not linger and immediately fled in different directions.

As a result, during his escape, Ye Fan happened to see that purple mountain, as if it were destined.

Without hesitation, Ye Fan immediately changed direction and headed towards Zishan. He rested for two days in a small village at the foot of Zishan and recovered from the injuries he sustained in the source mine before finally heading to Zishan.

With his foresight regarding the plot, Ye Fan's journey in the first half went extremely smoothly.

He followed the path opened up by the immortal of the Zhang family a thousand years ago, and along the way he not only unearthed a large number of sources, but also encountered many strange creatures formed from source energy.

Fortunately, he had made ample preparations in advance. Not only did he bring the stone knife and the golden book as in the original story, but he also wore special energy armor that could isolate all auras and brought many treasures purchased from the store.

In addition, he used more than ten magic scrolls to give himself various buffs.

Especially the protective auras, which cover the soul and body in every way, are armed to the teeth and are not afraid of the so-called demonic power.

Ignoring the dangers around him, Ye Fan charged forward until he reached a natural Tai Chi diagram.

This thing is quite mysterious. It consists of two large holes that breathe in and out primordial energy and malevolent energy. It is yin and yang, and yang and yin. Primordial energy and malevolent energy flow together. Sometimes it is completely covered by malevolent energy, and sometimes it is completely covered by primordial energy.

Looking at the dozens of skeletons pierced by sword energy in the primordial energy cave, Ye Fan did not hesitate. He skillfully took off his armor, put on the stone armor left by the Zhang family ancestors, and easily passed through when the primordial energy erupted and covered the Taiji diagram.

Everything in the universe has its counterpart, and although the sword energy formed by the divine source is indestructible, it does not harm the stone skin that envelops it.

Therefore, when the lone sun shines alone and is covered by primal energy, one can easily block those divine primal sword energies while wearing stone armor.

After passing through the curtain-like curtain at the end of the passage, Ye Fan finally arrived at the bottom of Purple Mountain.

He wore a stone suit close to his body, then donned a more protective kinetic armor, his entire body enveloped in various colorful spiritual lights, and began to walk forward.

During his journey, he saw the writing on the purple stone wall, just as in the original story.

A rough count reveals that approximately thirty-seven people left their writings, the most recent of which was by Zhang Jiye, an ancestor of the Zhang family from a thousand years ago and a descendant of the Yuan Tianshi.

The oldest writing dates back more than 70,000 years.

Ye Fan had not yet seen the later plot and did not know who left the writing.

Compared to other people's handwriting, he cared more about the handwriting of the Jiang family's God King, Jiang Taixu!

"God King Jiang Taixu accidentally entered the Magic Mountain and decided to find out what happened!"

These dozen or so characters, written with powerful strokes, contain a Daoist realm, making one feel as if the aura of a deity is flowing within them, as if a god-king stands before one's eyes.

Ye Fan gazed at the handwriting before him with a face full of emotion.

Unlike him, the magical boy with a body full of spiritual light, King Jiang broke in by force with his own strength. Even the Taiji diagram that was covered with divine source sword energy did not rely on any stone armor.

"Indeed, strength is the only true measure of success."

"In the face of true power, all tricks and gimmicks are futile..."

Ye Fan composed himself and took another heavy step, heading deeper into Purple Mountain.

Before long, he passed by many skeletons and came to a purple jade wall.

According to the plot, Jiang Taixu should be nearby, but for some reason, this Jiang God King did not send a message to him during his journey as in the original work.

"Could it be that I arrived too early, and King Jiang has not yet awakened?"

Ye Fan frowned, thinking to himself, and stopped to look at the purple jade wall.

But the instant he looked at the jade wall, a towering and ferocious figure appeared on the purple jade wall that had previously only reflected his figure!

It was much taller than Ye Fan, with a single horn between its eyebrows, six arms under its shoulders, wings on its back, and its body covered with fine scales. It stood quietly behind Ye Fan.

The strangest thing is that the figure only appeared in the jade wall, and there was still nothing behind Ye Fan.

Upon realizing this, Ye Fan's expression changed slightly, his pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately reached for his waist without hesitation.

Just then, a broken voice finally entered his mind, speaking rather weakly:

"Don't panic... This invisible evil intent... cannot harm you—"

Before he could even utter the word "you," Ye Fan decisively removed the jade pendant and slapped it against the jade wall in front of him.

In an instant, the jade pendant emitted a silver light, merging into the jade wall like a shadow, and instantly swallowed the ancient creature with six arms and two wings.

The silver light shone brightly, and the ancient creature's expression changed drastically. As if the darkness had been dispelled by the light, it couldn't help but let out a terrified and silent scream.

In the blink of an eye, the six-armed, two-winged figure vanished into thin air in the silver light.

Upon seeing this, the slightly weak voice abruptly stopped, followed by a long silence.

Ye Fan, standing before the jade disc, breathed a sigh of relief. As he hung the jade pendant back on his waist, he muttered to himself:

"What kind of demons and monsters are these? They scared me half to death... Luckily, I'm a cut above the rest!"

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at the jade wall in front of him politely, saying, "I'm sorry, I was a little nervous just now and failed to hear your teachings clearly. I wonder if you would be so kind as to repeat them again?"

Jiang Taixu: "..."
