Chapter 850: Chapter 850
A flick of Wutian’s finger sent a sphere flying out, unfolding in front of him with a snapping sound to form a screen. On the screen, Axiu sat atop a tall pavilion, wearing a red long dress. Her figure was graceful, and her bright red lipstick only added to her otherworldly allure, making every gesture and smile exude charm.
As soon as the video connected, Axiu immediately asked, "Little monk, have you found Master?"
"Not yet, but don’t worry. I’m in the Demon Realm, so there’s no danger to Emperor Gouchen."
"That Demon Ancestor!" Axiu knitted her brows slightly.
Buddha Ancestor Wutian laughed heartily, "The Demon Ancestor values Master very much and has no ill intentions. You needn’t worry.
Besides, standing behind Master are three Saints: the Tongtian Sect Master, the Taishang Saint, and the Primordial Venerable. Even the Demon Ancestor wouldn’t dare make any reckless move."
Axiu sighed in relief and smiled, "That’s good. I’ll inform my two senior sisters right away, so they don’t have to worry."
Axiu’s expression shifted as she playfully licked her red lips and softly asked, "Little monk, when will you come out to see me?"
"Very soon. When I come out, I’ll take you to break through the Spiritual Mountain." Buddha Ancestor Wutian immediately emanated an intense aura.
Axiu gazed at Wutian, her eyes carrying a hint of worry. I have no desire to break through the Spiritual Mountain; I just want to be with you peacefully.
But after so much time spent communicating, Axiu understood that breaking through the Spiritual Mountain was Wutian’s obsession, one she couldn’t change. She immediately smiled and said, "Alright! I’ll accompany you."
Time passed leisurely for Bai Jin, unaware that the entire Demon Realm was swirling with undercurrents.
Within the Demon Realm, one renowned Demon Lord after another was heading towards the Dark Illusion Sea.
As ancient tales go, when the Demon Realm was born, it too had stars, the sun, and the moon. Later, a giant multi-colored hand pressed down, causing stars to fall, and the sun and moon to bleed, almost destroying the entire Demon Realm. It was only when the Demon Ancestor attained the Tao that the Demon Realm was saved.
The Dark Illusion Sea is where the Star Fragments gather. Though called a sea, it is actually filled with violent Star Power, which even the Demon Lords are reluctant to approach. However, it is a reclusive abode for many Demon Saints and the largest Dark Forbidden Land in the Demon Realm.
In the manor of Bai Ren City, Bai Jin sat on a stone bench, surrounded by various writhing peculiar plants.
Standing respectfully before Bai Jin, the Illusion Peach Demon Venerable reported the situation.
Bai Jin frowned and said, "You say the Demon King wants to suddenly summon all the Demon Lords?"
The Illusion Peach Demon Venerable respectfully said, "Yes! Emperor Gouchen has yet to be found. His presence in the Demon Realm poses a daily threat, so the Demon King has summoned the Demon Lords to search the Forbidden Land."
Having been in the Demon Realm for this long, Bai Jin understood what the Forbidden Land entailed; it was filled with Quasi-Saints who could explode at any touch.
Bai Jin felt somewhat apprehensive; he could manage to not reveal anything in front of the Demon Lords, but against the Demon Clan Quasi-Saints, he wasn’t confident, not to mention the two Demon Kings.
Bai Jin coughed and said, "Illusion Peach Demon Venerable, my cultivation has been a bit unstable recently, so I need to enter seclusion. Could you go on my behalf?"
The Illusion Peach Demon Venerable hurriedly said, "My lord, that is absolutely not possible.
The Demon King is patrolling the Demon Realm. If any Demon Lord doesn’t show up at the Dark Illusion Sea, they will surely be mistaken by the Demon King for Emperor Gouchen and be subjected to a thunderous attack."
"The Demon King is patrolling the Demon Realm?"
"My lord, we’re not exactly a small force. If you don’t go to the Dark Illusion Sea, it won’t escape the Demon King’s notice."
Bai Jin’s heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Is our force very large?"
In Illusion Peach Demon Venerable’s mind, Great Leiyin Temple, Dark Abyss, and several intimidating Forbidden Lands appeared. Though the Demon Sect had many Demon Lords, it had no Demon Saints. With some hesitation, he said, "I apologize, my lord, for not living up to your trust; our force is not very strong, but just barely adequate."
"Not very strong?" Bai Jin let out a breath of relief. His biggest fear was attracting attention; being neither too big nor too small was optimal. Suddenly, he thought of the Demon Sect Leader and felt reassured. With that clueless leader taking the lead, he felt very safe.
"My lord, please go to the Dark Illusion Sea! I won’t lead you astray," the Illusion Peach Demon Venerable sincerely persuaded Bai Jin.
"I’ve suddenly felt better; since it’s a summon from the Demon King, I’ll give him this face."
The Illusion Peach Demon Venerable bowed respectfully and said joyfully, "Please move, my lord!"
Bai Jin stood up, silently resolving that his strategy of keeping a low profile had worked well so far. As long as he followed the strategy he’d set, he should remain safe. Since the summoning was for all Demon Lords, he decided to hide among them, making it harder to be noticed.
After considering the situation, Bai Jin felt much more at ease and strode outside with determination. Wasn’t it just a Forbidden Land? If I can’t provoke them, can’t I just hide? Once inside, I’ll find a corner to conceal myself.
As soon as he stepped out the main door, the Illusion Peach Demon Venerable urgently called out, "My lord, please wait!" Get full chapters from novelFɪre.net
"What’s the matter?" Bai Jin stopped and asked in confusion.
With respect, the Illusion Peach Demon Venerable said, "Reporting to my lord, your chariot has arrived."
Suddenly, five-colored light spread across the sky, and atop the light was a chariot swiftly descending along the path of light.
The chariot floated in mid-air, three hundred meters high with three levels. The top level was draped with black gauze, over which blood-red lightning danced. The two lower levels resembled a pagoda, with doors and railings all around. The chariot was adorned with demonic carvings and fantastical scenes, where myriads of demons and spirits prostrated.
The chariot was borne by eight hundred demon heads, all with Taiyi cultivation. Even in the Three Realms, they were formidable individuals; the chariot resembled more a mobile palace of the Demon Clan’s king.
Bai Jin felt a little anxious and said, "Is this what you call a chariot?"
"Reporting to my lord, the time was tight, and I couldn’t prepare anything better. Please forgive me."
"This... This is still casual?" Bai Jin immediately shook his head and said, "No, it’s too ostentatious."
The Illusion Peach Demon Venerable hurriedly said, "Reporting to my lord, it’s not ostentatious at all."
"Let’s just fly there! I prefer to keep a low profile."
The Illusion Peach Demon Venerable hastily explained, "My lord, that’s not possible. All other leaders travel . If you fly there, won’t others look down on us?"
Bai Jin hesitated and said, "You mean other leaders all travel with this kind of chariot?"
In Bai Jin’s understanding, the other leaders referred to were other Demon Lords, while in the Illusion Peach Demon Venerable’s words, the other leaders were the masters of the Forbidden Lands, and also the two Demon Kings. Although the Illusion Peach Demon Venerable had never seen the Demon Kings travel, when the Forbidden Land masters traveled, each was with great pomp and circumstance. Even this chariot of the Sect Leader was small!
The Illusion Peach Demon Venerable nodded repeatedly and said, "That’s right, everyone travels . Rest assured, my lord, I won’t lead you astray."
