“My head hurts so much…”
In the gloomy environment, Jun Changxiao struggled to stand up, one hand covering his head, one hand covering his waist, his facial expression showing slight pain.
The taste of demonic energy entering his body just now was too refreshing. Even though it had disappeared now, the aftertaste still lingered.
“Sect Master.”
Yao Mengying rubbed her head, saying: “Where is this place?”
Pulling the camera back, one could discover the two were standing on a piece of crimson red earth. The surrounding plants and trees were also crimson red, looking somewhat frightening.
Hearing the girl speak normally, Jun Changxiao breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he seriously observe the environment, then said with considerable confusion: “The underworld? The Nine Nether Yellow Springs?”
In the distant firmament, streams of flowing light circled, and space seemed layered together. It really gave people a feeling that this wasn’t a world where living beings resided.
“If I’m not mistaken.”
A middle-aged man with a relatively composed countenance guessed: “This should be the Demon Delusion Domain that was jointly sealed by the Ten Great Immortal Sects and various major clans.”
Who’s this?
One of the nine Innate Demon Body possessors.
That is to say, at this moment beside Jun Changxiao wasn’t just Yao Mengying, but also the other eight who were simultaneously transported in.
Because their names were unknown, the males would temporarily be introduced as Man Number One, Man Number Two, and the females as Woman Number One, Woman Number Two.
“Demon Delusion Domain?” Jun Changxiao was stunned.
Wasn’t that place sealed in the Western Sea? How did he muddle-headedly get in?
Muddle-headedly—excellently used.
Including Yao Mengying, they all entered through proper procedures. Only Dog Sheng was the one who mixed in to make up the numbers. According to the normal plot, he shouldn’t appear here at all.
No choice.
Cheaters are often special existences that jump outside the three realms and aren’t within the five elements.
Man Number One said: “Although it’s been sealed for a hundred thousand years, ancient texts have records, so combining with the current geographic environment, I can be certain this must be Demon Delusion Domain.”
“Since it’s Demon Delusion Domain, why is the demonic energy so withered?”
Man Number Two spoke up. Judging just from his appearance, he was at least sixty or seventy years old.
“Need you ask?”
Woman Number One walked over, flipping her black hair: “It must be because the Demon Ancestor died and because of the long-term seal.”
This woman’s voice was very seductive, with an exotic appearance. She could also be considered a first-class beauty.
Jun Changxiao subconsciously looked over, not to appreciate her beauty, but suddenly realizing that the aura the eight people emitted was all demonic cultivation, only he belonged to conventional martial cultivation.
The current situation: a dog had mixed into a flock of sheep.
Of course.
The eight Innate Demon Body inheritors were also puzzled—everyone else was a demonic cultivator, how did a completely incompatible conventional martial cultivator mix in?
“Girl.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Let’s go.”
First, let’s assume this is Demon Delusion Domain. Since they’d come, they naturally had to search thoroughly. Perhaps there would be some great harvest, perhaps there would be opportunities waiting for his disciple to inherit.
The eight Innate Demon Body inheritors also took action.
However, they very consciously separated, obviously planning to act alone. At least if they found good things, they’d belong to themselves.
“Everyone.”
Jun Changxiao called out: “This one advises you all—if this is Demon Delusion Domain, there may be many unknown mechanisms and traps, so it’s best to move together. Otherwise, you might lose your lives here and become lonely ghosts.”
“Tch.”
Man Number Three snorted coldly, continuing forward on his own.
The others also didn’t take Jun Changxiao’s words seriously, insisting on acting alone, and soon went in different directions.
Dog Sheng shook his head: “Are demonic cultivators’ personalities all very arrogant?”
“Sect Master.”
Yao Mengying said: “This place seems very large. Where should we go?”
After confirming the eight demonic cultivators had left, Jun Changxiao took out the treasure-seeking device, laughing: “Of course to the place where good things are hidden.”
Why did this guy suggest group departure just now? Mainly because several of the Innate Demon Body inheritors had considerable strength, most at the Fourth, Fifth, or Sixth Revolution level. If they could establish revolutionary friendship on the road, perhaps he could pull them into the sect to keep the girl company.
Since they wouldn’t come along, he could only monopolize all the good things.
“Buzz!”
Spiritual念 merged in, activating the treasure.
However, when the light on the compass began to flicker and gradually stabilized, there was actually no indication at all.
Jun Changxiao collapsed: “No way, there’s nothing here?”
The system said: “The treasure-seeking device was bought from the lower realm after all. Coming to the upper realm to search for high-level treasures may not be effective, so… quickly update and replace it.”
“Screw off!”
Jun Changxiao rolled his eyes.
Although the treasure-seeking device had no effect, it didn’t prevent him from moving forward. So he closed his eyes, silently recited numbers in his heart, waved his right hand randomly, and after stopping, said: “Girl, we’ll take this path.”
The system said speechlessly: “Choosing paths by fate, how particular!”
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao jumped upward, his body falling straight down.
“Swish! Swish!”
He jumped a few more times, all embarrassingly landing.
“Pfft!” Yao Mengying couldn’t help covering her mouth to laugh.
“…”
Jun Changxiao collapsed: “The Heavenly Dao system here seems far inferior to the upper realm, so why can’t I fly?”
The system said: “Because there’s a certain kind of flight restriction prohibition.”
“Fine.”
Jun Changxiao shook his head: “Girl, bring out the Seven-Colored Dazzling Wings.”
“Mm!”
Yao Mengying quickly shrugged her shoulders, and two pairs of gorgeous multicolored wings appeared, then “flap flap” flapped, her entire person gradually breaking free from the earth’s restraints.
“Sect Master!”
“I can fly!”
Jun Changxiao said proudly: “Although the prohibition here can forbid martial artists’ flying power, how could it forbid products that transcend heaven and earth’s limits?”
At this moment, he was no longer the one clamoring for independence, wanting to break away from the mall.
“Swish!”
The Seven-Colored Dazzling Wings spread, soaring up gracefully.
“Swish! Swish!”
The two transformed into flowing light, soaring through the firmament. They happened to take the same route as Man Number Three, immediately causing him to stand dumbfounded in place, his gaze flashing with disbelief: “How can those two fly?”
…
The area where Jun Changxiao and Yao Mengying were located was a piece of crimson red earth similar to grassland. It took a full half hour to fly out, traveling over an extremely wide scope of primitive mountain forest.
They’d seen many forests.
But this one was somewhat different.
Because every certain distance, they would see a stone tower with complex patterns carved on it.
“Sect Master.”
Yao Mengying said: “What are these stone towers for?”
“From their form, they’re similar to a kind of signal base station, perhaps used to transmit messages.” Jun Changxiao guessed.
“…”
The system said: “Why not say it’s a 5G base station!”
“Sect Master!”
Yao Mengying pointed ahead: “There seems to be a city over there!”
Jun Changxiao looked up. Indeed, at the end of their field of vision, the outline of a city that seemed embedded in mountains and water gradually appeared. Looking from afar, it was like a fierce tiger sitting on the ground.
“Doesn’t look like human architectural style.”
“Could it be… this really is Demon Delusion Domain?”
As they spoke, the two accelerated and went forth. Soon they stopped above a city completely built by piling stones—whether city walls, city gates, or internal building groups, it was indeed different from human style.
“Sect Master.”
Yao Mengying said: “There’s no one in the city.”
This city’s scale wasn’t small, but all the major streets were empty of people. With the atmosphere’s rendering, it gave people the feeling of a ghost city in horror movies.
“Strange.”
Jun Changxiao said with confusion: “This place doesn’t seem to have suffered destruction from external forces, so why can’t we see a single living being?”
“More than that.”
The system said: “Host, the primitive mountain forest you just passed through also had no animals.”
“Could they all be dead?”
Just then, the expression on Jun Changxiao’s face gradually stiffened, because his spiritual念 spread to a place outside the city similar to a military camp. On the drill ground, there stood statue after statue wearing battle armor and holding sharp blades. There must be at least ten thousand of them!
…
In the outside world, at the altar.
Although the Grand Protector had been depressed for most of the day, his face gradually revealed a smile: “This time breaking through the seal to enter, the million-strong Demon Delusion Army will surely reappear in the light of day. When our ancestor raises his arm, the entire upper realm will tremble for it!”
