Chapter 346: Chapter 201: The Origin of the Demon Lord, Changes in the Inner Domain_2

“The cultivation technique passed down by the Demon Lord is quite useful indeed, even if it does require the vitality of many young girls each year.”

Bing Niang sighs to herself.

Two maidens with gauze drapes approached and carried off the withered corpses on either side of Bing Niang.

“The Demon Lord is dead!”

Bing Niang suddenly felt desolate in this moment.

The missing Demon Lord was dead after all.

Bing Niang unrolled a scroll, “Demon child, your method of dealing with revenge is quite unique. I fear that I won’t live long if I do this as well.

“Well, never mind. I’ll help you this once.”

Following the instructions left by the demon child, Bing Niang burned the scroll and activated the jade bead. The bead transformed into powder and in the instant, Bing Niang recalled something the Demon Lord mentioned – a pair of beads known as Mother and Child Beads. If the child bead is shattered, the mother bead will feel the reaction.

Could this jade bead be the child bead?

“Demon child, I have done as you asked. Whether this is what you wish for or not, I have no idea.”

Bing Niang murmured to herself.

Her face was becoming increasingly flushed. She slumped onto a chair in a highly indecent pose, humming softly before ordering. “Go find a handsome young man for me. The more handsome the better and he must have the strength of a grandmaster or higher!”

“Yes!”

Her order was echoed in the Ice Tower.

North of the Cang, at Tianbao Pavilion’s headquarters.

A man with a purple coronet stood in the courtyard, lamenting at how the once powerful organization opposing the heavens had been wiped out overnight.

Moreover, it had turned into the malicious force causing chaos in the Inner Domain and harming Martial Artists.

“Who would’ve thought that the Demon Lord would be killed by him on Canglan Island.”

A half-step Heavenly Being sighed.

The man with the purple coronet shook his head. “The Demon Lord didn’t die at his hands.”

“Hmmm? What do you mean, Pavilion Master? The Blood Soul blade was discovered on Canglan Island, why didn’t he die there?”

The powerhouse of the Tianbao Pavilion present were all taken aback.

The man with the purple coronet seemed to have some reservations about the Demon Lord. After some thought, he said, “The Demon Lord was the person marked for death by the Taimiao Sect. In order to prevent a major disturbance in the Inner Domain, she asked me to pass on a message that drew the Demon Lord to the wilderness.”

The powerful members of the Tianbao Pavilion were all stunned. The sudden disappearance of the Demon Lord actually had something to do with their Pavilion Master?

“The Taimiao Sect?”

A powerhouse murmured under his breath as if he wanted to ask more, but the man with the purple coronet shook his head and declined further explanations.

With the conflict involving the coalition against the heavens over, Canglan Island returned to peace.

The reactions of the various major forces in the Inner Domain were as expected. The battle had a profound impact on the Inner Domain.

Once again, Dahua became the focus of attention.

Kou Ruozhi left Canglan Island and returned to Dahua City. He planned to overthrow the Great Yue Dynasty using the momentum he gained from eliminating the coalition.

One day, a Grandmaster Martial Artist visited the residence of Prince Du. Prince Du himself received him. As a peak Great Grandmaster, he was receiving a Grandmaster Martial Artist, clearly indicating that the visitor had a special status.

This Grandmaster Martial Artist was from Dahua City.

The families of several important ministers of the Great Yue Dynasty also received visits from Grandmaster Martial Artists.

Undercurrents were beginning to stir in the Great Yue Dynasty. Seizing the opportunity during unrest and the dynasty’s weakening power, a storm was brewing against the Great Yue Dynasty.

On Canglan Island, Li Xuan was back to his leisurely daily life.

Everyday, he would lazily raft along the river. A life of relaxing enjoyment.

Red Cat seemed to have been stimulated by the attack of the coalition. Especially after Shi’er mocked it for hiding in the ground like a timid rat, it had been in a huff ever since. It spent all day sleeping.

Occasionally, there would be a roar from within its body, as if it was undergoing some sort of transformation.

Shi’er started to regret making fun of Red Cat fearing that it might seek revenge after its transformation.

Su Lingxiu was continuously accumulating power, completely neglecting the Alchemy Room while she delved into studying the Martial Canon of Alchemy. Her aim was to understand the higher level of the Alchemy path.

She couldn’t wait to increase her strength. And the key to increasing her strength lay in her ability to use medicine acquired through alchemy to strengthen herself.

Zhou Ying was training with a renewed determination.

The attack by the green-faced man and the coalition were all connected to Su Lingxiu. She had seen the helplessness and despair written on Su Lingxiu’s face.

Despite the crisis having been averted with ease both times.

The experience spurred Mother Xu into training more diligently.

Her usual training practice was extended by an hour to one and a half hours each day.

Li Xuan returned from another boat ride.

“Your disciple, Xu Yan, has made a small breakthrough in the Tongxuan Realm, while you have fully mastered it.”

This feedback from the Golden Finger suddenly came.

“Xu Yan broke through so quickly?”

Li Xuan was taken aback for a moment. It seemed that there really was something within the Tomb of the Celestial Being.

His strength had increased once again.

The next day, as Li Xuan prepared to continue his boat journey down the Cang River, a golden light manifested.

“Your disciple, Meng Chong, has broken through to the Tongxuan Realm, successfully mastering the Great Sun Golden Body (Tongxuan Realm), with an increase in strength that is a hundredfold stronger than his peers within the same realm.”

Meng Chong had broken through to the Tongxuan Realm.

Li Xuan was overjoyed. His strength had increased once again.

Moreover, cultivating the Tongxuan Realm’s Great Sun Golden Body comes with the ability to transform into a ten-foot tall human.

Of course, Li Xuan did not attempt this transformation.

After all, once transformed into a ten-foot-tall colossal being, his clothes would disappear, leaving him stark naked.

“If Meng Chong wished to use the transformation of the Great Sun Golden Body, he probably would need to prepare a set of clothes that could drastically stretch without breaking.”

Such attire did exist in the Inner Domain.

Clothes woven from Yunhuan silkworm silk, even when transformed into a thirty-foot-tall giant, would not rupture but instead could still cover the body.

However, the Yunhuan silkworm silk clothing were costly. Although the Chang Qing Pavilion could easily afford them now, Meng Chong didn’t seem to have made any preparations.

“Hopefully Meng Chong won’t encounter strong opponents that would necessitate the use of the ten-foot-tall Golden Body.”

Li Xuan muttered to himself.

Otherwise, once Meng Chong transforms into a ten-foot-tall Golden Body, he would be completely naked.

Of his three disciples, Xu Yan had achieved minor success in the Tongxuan Realm, Meng Chong entered the Tongxuan Realm, and Su Lingxiu reached perfection in the Innate Realm. It won’t be long before she would break through to the Tongxuan Realm.

And about the realm above Tongxuan, the Divine Intent State, Xu Yan seemed close to understanding it?

“Your disciple, Meng Chong, has transformed into a Vajra spiritual body, causing you to obtain the Innate Mountain-River Vajra Spiritual Body.”

The Golden Finger issued another feedback; when Meng Chong broke through to the Tongxuan Realm, he also sublimated and metamorphosed into a spiritual body.

It had only been three days since Meng Chong broke through to the Tongxuan Realm.

As Li Xuan was drinking the Cloud Mist Spiritual Tea, a surge of golden light burst forth suddenly.

“Your disciple, Meng Chong, used the ten-foot-tall Golden Body to fight the spiritual beast, Snow Bear, leading to an enhancement in your ten-foot-tall Golden Body and an increase in battle experience.”

Li Xuan was taken aback; Meng Chong had used the ten-foot-tall Golden Body.

Where had Zi Yun gone?

Spiritual Beast Snow Bear?

Are there spirit beasts in the Inner Domain?

Li Xuan pondered. Indeed, spiritual beasts did exist in the Inner Domain, with the Mountain-Swallowing Toad being one of them.

Beyond that, it seemed that there were no news of any other formidable spiritual beasts existing in the Inner Domain.

The fact that Meng Chong had to use his ten-foot-tall Golden Body indicated that the Snow Bear was extremely powerful, comparable to a real Celestial Being.

Not long after Meng Chong killed the Snow Bear, Golden Finger sent more feedback.

“Your disciple, Meng Chong, understood the Martial Arts Divine Technique, Divine Slayer, and you have mastered the Divine Slayer!”

Li Xuan was somewhat surprised. Meng Chong must have encountered something, as he had suddenly comprehended a Martial Arts Divine Technique similar to the God-slaying Blade.

Although he didn’t comprehend any Sword Intent targeting the Divine Soul, comprehending the Divine Slayer technique that targets the Divine Soul made him extraordinarily powerful.

“Your disciple, Meng Chong, used the Divine Slayer to kill the Celestial Being’s Remaining Soul, which led to an enhancement in your Divine Slayer Technique and an increase in your battle experience!”

Leftover Soul of the Celestial Being?

Li Xuan furrowed his brows. This was the second time Meng Chong had killed a leftover soul of the Celestial Being, wasn’t it?

Previously, when he was still in the Blood Qi realm, he killed the Demon Lord’s remaining soul that possessed Senior Wu!

So who was the leftover soul of the Celestial Being that he killed this time?

Could it be that Meng Chong entered the Gate of Lingyu?

Li Xuan quietly mused, that wouldn’t mean… did he just make a Martial Arts Celestial Being his foe?

Would Meng Chong be hunted down by a Martial Arts Celestial Being?

“Meng Chong comprehended Divine Slayer, and also broke through to the Tongxuan Realm; even if a Martial Arts Celestial Being comes, they wouldn’t be his opponent…”

Li Xuan suddenly furrowed his brows, “That’s incorrect, Martial Arts Celestial Beings have different levels of strength too. Young Martial Artists who have just become Celestial Beings wouldn’t be a match for Meng Chong, but if it’s one of the stronger Martial Arts Celestial Beings, Meng Chong might not stand a chance!”

He then recalled Xu Yan, who entered the Tomb of the Celestial Being some time ago but seemed to have never encountered any danger.

“Even if a Martial Arts Celestial Being comes, with me not making a move and only using the mysterious aura, I should be able to deter them, right?”

Li Xuan murmured to himself.

In the northern wilderness, the Demon Hunting Battlefield.

After Meng Chong had destroyed the giant palm, Zi Yun began to tell the story of the origin of the Demon Hunting Battlefield.

This surprisingly had ties to the rumored Demon Lord.

As they walked further in, Zi Yun narrated the heroic deeds related to the Demon Hunting Battlefield and the Demon Lord.
