The Path of Survivor Begins With Obtaining Titles
Chapter 762: The Attack of the Demon Race (2)For him, injuries that would take hundreds or thousands of years to heal were effortlessly cured by this Dragon, which is unbelievable.
“There’s no need for formalities, I’m simply fulfilling a request. Let’s head back to the human race first, as I have some matters to deal with here later on,” Lin Yi said lightly, waving his hand and taking off into the sky with Zhang Dao Xuan.
Seeing a massive number of the demon race frantically moving in one direction below, Zhang Dao Xuan’s expression slightly changed, “Fellow Daoist, what are those demons below up to? Are they attacking the human race?”
“Yes, our smooth departure from the Demon Domain naturally infuriated them, so I must return later to find a solution,” Lin Yi nodded. He had already transmitted the news here to Tian Ba via his Primordial Spirit, so the three Spirit Cities should be preparing in advance.
Zhang Dao Xuan shook his head and sighed with a tone of self-reproach, “Alas, it’s all my fault. If I had not entered the demon world, none of this would have happened. It also troubled Dragon to come and rescue me. Let’s not go back to the human race for now. Fellow Daoist, you deal with the matters here first so that you don’t have to make another trip later.”
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yi nodded, “Alright, then let us first seek the true form of the Dark Abyss.”
Under his protection, Zhang Dao Xuan would not be in any danger. Moreover, the highest cultivation level of the demons that could teleport to the Spirit Profound Realm was merely at the Crossing Tribulation stage, so there was no need for concern.
Thus, Lin Yi changed direction, heading deep into the Demon Clan Territory.
While on the way, Zhang Dao Xuan seemed to remember something and quickly asked, “Dragon, you said you came especially to rescue me because someone entrusted you. May I know who it was?”
His heart was full of curiosity, wondering who could have entrusted such a powerful cultivator to enter the demon world and rescue him, and what a great favor it must have been.Lin Yi smiled, knowing Zhang Dao Xuan would surely ask, “You left a trace of your Divine Soul in the Heng Yuan Realm Dan God Secret Realm, didn’t you? I am fulfilling his request. Previously, when I traveled to the Lower Realm, I sensed the Dan God Secret Realm and entered it, becoming friends with that trace of your Divine Soul.”
“Later, when it sensed you were in danger, it requested me to come and rescue you.”
Zhang Dao Xuan’s face revealed a look of shock. He had not anticipated that it would be his own Divine Soul that he had left behind to watch over the Secret Realm that helped him get through a life-and-death crisis and return alive to the Spirit Profound Realm.
He felt something was amiss, but couldn’t quite say what it was. Finally, he could only lament, “Ah, I never imagined it would be the Divine Soul I left behind casually to watch over the Secret Realm. Dragon, your cultivation level is so profound, you’re probably not from the Spirit Profound Realm, are you?”
Lin Yi’s face revealed a hint of mystery, “You will know in the future.”
Then, he asked a question of his own, “I’m also curious. You’ve been missing in the Spirit Profound Realm for thousands of years. Why did you suddenly enter the Demon Domain?”
Hearing Lin Yi’s question, Zhang Dao Xuan sighed, “That’s a long story. Thousands of years ago, based on information from a map I found in a certain Secret Realm, I began to search for a hidden Secret Realm, rumored to contain items left behind by immortals.”
“I entered this Secret Realm using a false identity and discovered it was actually the Cave Mansion of a Mahayana Cultivator. I had some serendipitous encounters inside and, after cultivating for thousands of years and passing his tests, I received all of his inheritances.”
“Later, from a Jade Slip he left behind, I learned that after reaching Mahayana, he chose not to ascend but rather ventured into the Demon Domain to cut off future troubles.”
“However, he encountered unimaginable danger and horror within, and in his last effort, he sent a trace of his Primordial Spirit back to the Spirit Profound Realm. This Primordial Spirit took residence in a corpse and returned to that Cave Mansion, leaving behind that Jade Slip…”
“It contained not only his understanding and research of the Demon Domain but also his discoveries of various celestial and terrestrial treasures, among which were the Demonic Light Grass and the Demonic Light Flower. These plants can block the sensing of most of the demon race, except for the demons with huge ears.”
“Also, using the Demonic Light plants in combination with other special materials, it’s even possible to concoct Demon-Purifying Pills that can purify demonic Qi and turn it into one’s own energy.”
“Alas, the Primordial Spirit of this senior also became tainted with Demonic Qi. The Demonic Light Flowers that he had picked were not brought out. To avoid becoming one of those demons, he forcibly dispersed his Primordial Spirit and thus perished.”
“Moreover, this Mahayana senior left some warnings: the higher the Cultivation levels, the more dangerous it becomes to enter. Being a Dan God obsessed with Alchemy, I took the risk to enter.”
“This senior’s Cave Mansion is located in the mountain ranges near the Demon Slayer City. He spent his life studying how to combat the Demon race. After returning to the Human race, I do not plan to conceal this matter. Brother Long, if it’s inconvenient for you to reveal your identity, I can omit your existence.”
Lin Yi waved his hand lightly, “No matter, you may speak the truth. However, just don’t say that it was at the commission of your Divine Soul that I acted, but that I went into the Demon Domain for Cultivation and unexpectedly saved you.”
With his current strength, he already no longer needed to conceal certain things. Besides, he wasn’t going to use this identity of the Demon Tribe’s Long Ao for much longer. After all, his mission to glean benefits was now gloriously completed. What remained was the comprehension of his own great path.
Therefore, whether he had a Demon Tribe identity was no longer important. Even if he returned to his original form, he could still proceed with his comprehension.
What was more critical was that after revealing his strength in the Demon Domain, this identity of the Demon Tribe’s Long Ao would definitely attract unnecessary trouble, such as the blood-colored Humanoid Demon, which might have connections with some people in the Immortal Realm.
Perhaps, one day, an Immortal would come down looking for Long Ao.
That was why he had entered the Demon Domain as Long Ao rather than in his original form. Later, he would find a proper time to allow Long Ao’s identity to ascend to the Immortal Realm, and then he would return to his true form, to comprehend his great path. That was the proper course.
“Good, many thanks, Brother Long,” Zhang Dao Xuan quickly agreed.
Lin Yi smiled and spoke of another important matter, “There is another thing. Are you willing to let that strand of your Divine Soul come to the Spirit Profound Realm and become an independent incarnation?”
“I was going to bring him up earlier, but who knew he would say that it was you, the original body, who left him behind to look after this Secret Realm. Even if he were to leave, it would have to be with your consent.”
“Moreover, when you were in danger, this strand of Divine Soul started to flicker like a candle flame, ready to extinguished at any moment, possibly disappearing along with you. I wanted to help him sever the connection with you, the original body, but he said, ‘Born from the original body, how could he leave in times of peril?'”
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, a touch of emotion appeared on Zhang Dao Xuan’s face. The strand of Divine Soul that he had left behind had developed an independent consciousness after thousands of years. Unexpectedly, it chose to share life and death with his original self.
“Friend Long Ao, I am willing. You may bring him up at any time, but there’s no need for him to become an independent incarnation of me. Sever the connection with me, and let him become an independent person,” he said.
Lin Yi nodded, “Alright, I will ask his opinion.”
He swiftly navigated through the skies above the Demon Clan Territory with Zhang Dao Xuan, while using the Eye of Emptiness to search for the true body of the Dark Abyss.
If nothing unexpected happened, the true body of the Dark Abyss should be connected to the core location of the Demon Domain and might even be the place where a large number of Demon Beasts were created. Perhaps, they might even see the figure of the Yellow Humanoid Demon.
He felt that with his current strength, it was highly unlikely that he could uproot the true body of the Dark Abyss. He had speculated before that the Demon Domain should be in another universe. To traverse such a vast distance and place the Dark Abyss into the Spirit Profound Realm would certainly not be within the abilities of just anyone.
Even if he couldn’t remove it, with his current strength, he should be able to affect the transporting process of the Dark Abyss.
However, he would have to wait until he saw the true body of the Dark Abyss to reach a conclusion.
