Chapter 373 Discussion
After Shen Yao became an Immortal Venerable, her cultivation speed increased even further.
She spent three months perfecting the ninth form of the God-Slaying Technique, thus qualifying to cultivate the tenth form.
Finally, I can use the God-Slaying Blade to cultivate.
In the cultivation illusion, she used the God-Slaying Blade to complete the first nine moves, and felt refreshed and at ease.
They even had a sliver of confidence that killing the Blood Demon wouldn't come at a great cost.
She excitedly called her father and husbands together, expressing her desire to go with her father to kill the evil emperor.
"It's time to kill the Evil Emperor, Father. Let's head south and west to Jeju Island, kill all the evil cultivators along the way, and clear out all the bloodworms too."
"The sooner we get there, the sooner the border cultivators will be free. After we've killed them all, we'll go to the secret realm and kill all the Blood Demons."
Her eyes shone brightly as she spoke, her killing intent intense.
I had truly prepared myself mentally, and all I wanted to do was go and have some fun.
Huo Die originally planned to kill the Evil Emperor with Tu Xiaoxiao, but the invasion of the Mermaid Lord disrupted their plans.
After understanding his daughter's thoughts, he didn't rush to object, but simply asked her, "Are you sure that encountering the Blood Demon won't come at a price?"
Shen Yao tapped her storage ring: "Guardian."
Sheath Spirit Guardian flew out of the storage ring: "She has achieved minor mastery of sword intent and become a Celestial Venerable. She is now qualified to use the God-Slaying Blade. Killing a Blood Demon will probably leave her exhausted for half a year, so the price is not too high."
Shen Yao echoed, "Destroying a wisp of a fallen god's consciousness is nothing more than treating him as a cripple for half a year. Moreover, as my cultivation improves, the time I need to be exhausted will become shorter and shorter."
In her eagerness to save the world, she didn't consider the more complicated situation.
Jiang Ming took out a map and highlighted the key points: "Currently, there are eight secret realms in the world: the Longzhou Secret Realm of the Immortal Clan, the Thunder Secret Realm, the Lishui Secret Realm..."
"In the Thunder Secret Realm, apart from the red shadow monster I saw, I explored it for three years. It was full of overlapping spaces, but not illusions."
“My father once explored the Longzhou Secret Realm. Apart from an underground palace, it was just an endless desert.”
“The Longzhou Secret Realm is extremely dangerous. My father returned severely injured back then, and the former sect leader who went with him died not long after returning.”
His mention of this stirred up long-forgotten memories for Shen Yao.
Before her master died, he told her that Jiang Ye and Zong Huan returned from the Longzhou Secret Realm severely injured. After Zong Huan died, Jiang Ye's personality changed drastically, and his master's father discovered that he had used the Spirit Awakening Seal to conduct a spirit-swapping experiment...
Huo Die had explored the Lishui Secret Realm before, and he continued, "The Lishui Secret Realm is full of overlapping mazes. Everything in the mazes seems to be alive and could devour cultivators at any time."
He sighed, his expression grave: "Back then, Jiang Qi and I led many companions to explore the maze, and nine out of ten of them were swallowed up by it."
The Lishui Secret Realm sounds even more dangerous than the Longzhou Secret Realm.
Jiang Ming continued to circle on the map: "The territory of the heretical cultivators. There is a secret realm called the Southern Swamp here. Ning Yuan and Gou Yue should have explored it. Let's go and ask them tomorrow."
"This river is called Yi River. It passes through Yi City and flows into Hengtong River. There is a secret place along this river, but we don't know exactly where it is located yet."
"Based on our current speculation, the Evil Emperor is controlled by the Blood Demon, and the Evil Emperor's lair is located in Yicheng. Therefore, the Blood Demon is very likely to be in the Yihe Secret Realm."
"Moreover, the Blood Demon's seal must be damaged to release the Blood Nematodes and control the Evil Emperor."
Tu Xiaoxiao has explored all the secret realms of the demon race.
He took the ink brush and marked the demon territory: "This is the Myriad Abyss Secret Realm, within the territory of Dragon Abyss City. The most dangerous monster that has ever appeared here is the Drought Demon. I have been to this secret realm, which is also an overlapping space, but I did not encounter any particular danger."
He paused, then said to Shen Yao, "Those three wisteria trees were moved from here."
Shen Yao gave him a look that she understood and asked him to continue explaining the diagram.
Mo Bi drew a circle in Ruifeng City: "The Qilin Secret Realm appeared after we explored the casino. We've confirmed that there's a Blood Demon inside."
He drew a circle in the southern sea area of the demon race: "This is the exit of the Jiaoluo Secret Realm. The entrance to the Jiaoluo Secret Realm changes every few years in the Jiaoluo Sea, but the exit is on the stone island. There is only one known exit."
"This secret realm is extremely dangerous. I've been there and almost died inside."
"Its exit is especially dangerous, with thorny vines on both sides of the exit passage. If you get whipped, you will turn into a stone statue."
Shen Yao knew about this; it was there that Xianyu's master turned into a stone statue.
After explaining the secret realm, Feng Yu pointed to Longyuan City: "And at the bottom of the Long family's Trial Tower, the Blood Demon is very likely sealed as well."
He looked at Shen Yao with pleading in his eyes: "Yanzhou, give me some more time, two years at most. After two years, we will go and kill the Evil Emperor and the Blood Demon."
Shen Yao asked, puzzled, "What preparations are you making?"
With a decision imminent, Feng Yu revealed everything: "I'm researching Hai Mu's magic and I already have some ideas. Perhaps I can replicate the Obsidian Teleportation Array."
“Yanzhou, the secret realm is fraught with danger. If I can create movable array points, we won’t have to worry about being separated in the secret realm.”
He took out the model he had drawn and laid it on top of the map: "At that time, we will use Chongcheng as the main battle point. Each of us will carry a movable battle point. If we are separated or encounter an insurmountable danger, we will be teleported back to Chongcheng directly."
If successful, it would indeed be a good way to ensure survival.
Huo Die agreed: "Let's do as Yunhe says. If we can create such a formation, it's worth it even if we wait five years, let alone two."
Tu Xiaoxiao and Jiang Ming also expressed their approval.
Shen Yao still wanted to kill the Evil Emperor first: "My father, Xiaoxiao, and I can go kill the Evil Emperor first. You can stay here to study the formation. After we take back the Evil Cultivator Territory, we can go to the Secret Realm together."
Feng Yu disagreed: "The Evil Emperor is controlled by the Blood Demon. If she has a way to freely enter and leave the secret realm, or even bring you in, what will you do?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming immediately chimed in, "Feng Yu is right, there are too many uncontrollable factors."
Tu Xiaoxiao can track her location, but only within the same space. If they are separated in different barriers, he cannot sense her, which is why he also supports Feng Yu.
After all, the Obsidian Teleportation Array can ignore distance and space.
If it can be replicated, or even improved into a movable array, then the security level will be near perfect, and waiting a few more years will be worthwhile.
Everyone decided to wait a few more years, and Shen Yao compromised as well.
Killing the evil emperor is only a temporary solution; we still need to find and kill all the blood demons in the world to truly stop the expansion of evil cultivators and cut off the root of evil.
Not wanting to see her discouraged, Feng Yu made her a promise: "Yan Zhou, I am confident that I can complete the formation within two years. If I can't, we will go and kill the Evil Emperor first."
Shen Yao was always willing to encourage him: "Okay, Yunhe, I believe in you, you will definitely succeed."
Her praises came one after another, making Feng Yu overjoyed, while the other two unwanted suitors' faces grew increasingly dark.
"Yunhe, you are the best craftsman in the world."
"You are the best."
"You can definitely do it."
"You are the most persevering immortal lord I have ever met."
Ha, the fox demon and Jiang Ming were so angry they laughed.
Tu Xiaoxiao: How old are you? How many immortal lords have you ever met? How dare you praise me like that?
Jiang Ming: The most persevering... Ha... Don't even mention rogue cultivators, just look at any disciple of the True God Sect, which Immortal Lord doesn't have perseverance? Without perseverance, how could you possibly succeed?
eccentric.
