Paradise of Demonic Gods

Chapter 1016: Derivation

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

As Fang Xingjian watched his clone start to derive an understanding of this world’s martial arts, he continued pondering, ‘...It’s not just the Demon Sect. Right now, I’ve become the Great Jin Dynasty’s Emperor, and although I have the justice and status on my side, the number of enemies I have is also unprecedented.’

Right now, the dynasty was nearing its downfall. There was the uprising of rebels, aristocrats, and feudal vassals taking over land and claiming it as their own. These people were watching this Emperor with covetous gazes.

Over the past few days, Fang Xingjian had read the reports from the Azure Dragon Secret Bureau and gotten a great understanding about this world’s politics.

As there was the presence of martial arts and martial arts experts with the capability of going up against armies, the experts and sects in this world possessed extremely high statuses.

Tiangang Realm experts, who stood at the very top of the pugilistic world, also had the capability of changing the world situation with just a single world.

The passing of the royal family’s Old Ancestor, who had been at the Tiangang Realm, was also a very important reason that the Great Jin Dynasty had entered a decline.

All of the rebels in the 12 regions would more or less be associated with major sects in the pugilistic worlds. The strongest feudal vassals were also closely connected with the seven strongest sects in the world—the Three Mountains Four Peaks.

‘Demon Sect... and there’s the Three Mountains Four Peaks...’

Fang Xingjian thought of how there was a shortage of manpower in the Imperial Capital at the moment. He dug out the paper seal.

After opening up the black paper, the Crown Princess’ furious expression was revealed. Her cheeks were puffed up like two buns as she glared at Fang Xingjian, seemingly with hints of blood streaks in her eyes.

“Fang Xingjian, you haven’t forgotten that I’m inside, right?

“Do you know how terrible it is to be alone in here?! Are you trying to drive me crazy?!

“There’s no food, no books, no lights, and not even a servant whom I can talk to. How do you expect me to spend my days in here?!”

Fang Xingjian looked at how flustered and exasperated she was. He smiled, “Then do you want to come out?”

...

Late night, the moonlight scattered down onto the earth like silver frost.

It was already the time for the night curfew to take effect. There were not many people along the streets in the entire Divine Capital, only the occasional passing by of the patrolling city guards. As almost everyone was trained in martial arts, they did not even need to hold a torch. They would merely need to throw a gaze and be able to see every single movement in the darkness.

Right now, in a manor in the north of the Divine Capital, there was a young lady wearing a black dress on her wonderful figure. She was like a fairy in the darkness, fluttering to and fro in the air before entering a study like a wisp of smoke.

The moment she entered the study, she saw an official reading the document in his hand, frowning.

“Who’s there?”

When that official saw the figure suddenly appear before him, he was about to call for help. However, when he saw that young lady’s face at the next moment, he immediately lowered his voice and dropped to his knees. He asked, “Lady Saint, why have you come?”

The young lady’s face was pale like she had not seen the sun throughout the year. Her pupils were bloodshot as if they were embedded with red rubies, revealing a limitless sense of mystery.

Hearing the official’s question, the young lady’s voice rang out, “This operation has failed, and the Sacred Sect’s set up that had been prepared for many years has gone down the drain. The Elders in the sect are enraged, and there’s a need to investigate what’s going on.”

The official sighed and said, “The Fang Clan’s abilities seemed to be stronger than we expected. There are probably still Tiangang Realm experts hidden in the royal family who are watching over the situation.”

“Tiangang Realm?” The female Saint’s brows twitched. “What’s going on? Could it be that Fang Youwei hasn’t died?”

“Impossible. Back then, we saw it with our own eyes that Fang Youwei was seriously injured. It couldn’t be faked. The only possibility is that another new expert in the Fang Clan has advanced to the Tiangang Realm.”

As for the rumors about the Emperor Fang Xuan attaining the Tiangang Realm, the two of them did not even mention it. Clearly, both of them knew that this was complete nonsense.

“Tiangang Realm?” The female Saint let out a cold laugh. “Someone who has just advanced to the Tiangang Realm won’t be able to change the situation. You guys should continue laying low. There will naturally be Tiangang Realm experts to deal with Tiangang Realm experts.”

As they spoke, the female Saint’s figure turned into bubbles, dissipating in the air and causing the official to gasp.

‘This is... the Reverie Art?’

...

In a forest on a hill situated outside the Divine Capital, the Demon Sect’s female Saint opened her eyes slowly, and a pondering glow flashed in her eyes.

The official in the north of the city was the 12th official she had gotten into contact with over the past few days. This allowed her to have a good understanding of the situation in the Divine Capital.

‘A Tiangang Realm expert?

‘And the Emperor Fang Xuan who suddenly changed into a completely different person, devoting great efforts into governing the country to make it prosperous...’

A hint of a wave flashed in the female Saint’s eyes as she thought, ‘There’s enough information, but if I were to return like this, how would I be able to display my means?’

The Demon Sect was situated in the outer fringes of civilization, with very little resources. The competition there was 100 times more intense than in Middle-earth.

Although Fu Daoxian was the female Saint of the Demon Sect’s Illusory Emotions Path ¹ , it was not as if she did not have any competitors.

She contemplated, ‘With a Tiangang Realm expert watching over things in the palace, it’s true that I won’t be able to enter easily. However, if I were to use the Reverie Art to control my essential Qi, I might be able to get close to that young Emperor.

‘That young Emperor is merely 16 to 17 years of age. How can he possibly withstand our Illusory Emotions Path’s Art of Heavenly Emotions ² ?

‘If I can gain control over the young Emperor, I’ll have accomplished a matter of great merit. Moreover, my actual body is outside the Divine Capital, so there’s no risk at all.

‘It’s worth a try.’

The young Emperor had merely been a puppet, and it had not mattered who was the one in that position.

However, with the news that there might be a Tiangang Realm expert in the royal family, the importance of the young Emperor rose in Fu Daoxian’s eyes.

The female Saint decided to take action immediately. She sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes. At the next moment, a stream of essential Qi was formed, and a blurry figure slowly appeared from her back. With a slight movement, it drifted in the direction of the palace together with the night breeze.

For this gamble, Fu Daoxian exerted a tremendous amount of effort. As an expert at the Disha Realm with 40 acupuncture points refined, the clone—that was formed from the essential Qi using her Reverie Art—used up 50% of her prowess.

Arriving in the courtyard of a palace hall, Fu Daoxian quickly chose to possess a maid. Her essential Qi was a perfect match with this person, and as it flowed into the maid’s body, it filled up her veins in the blink of an eye, controlling her every move.

This maid was clearly carefully selected by Fu Daoxian. Not only was her skin fair, but she also had a tall figure and a beautiful face. She was a great beauty.

Right now, the maid’s body was filled with Fu Daoxian’s essential Qi, and the maid’s disposition immediately became graceful and dignified, full of feminine charm.

With a slight smile, she acted like an ordinary maid over the next few days, showing no abnormalities. However, she was secretly trying to find information about Fang Xuan in the palace.

With the essential Qi from her Illusory Emotion Path’s martial arts as well as her many years of experience competing in the Demon Sect, everything went very smoothly. How could ordinary maids and eunuchs in the palace be a match for her? Unknowingly, she managed to get her hands on all sorts of information.
