Chapter 614: Chapter 507: Two Cities Open in Succession, Seven Sons Grand Assembly! (9K, plus 1K) Chapter 614: Chapter 507: Two Cities Open in Succession, Seven Sons Grand Assembly! (9K, plus 1K) Shen Yi’s decision was not made on a whim.
After witnessing the so-called trials of life, which literally involved erging from a cocoon, he had a general guess about the subsequent tribulations.
Following Longhan Great City, it was Chiming City’s turn, where the character “birth” was succeeded by “aging.”
The vigor of life cannot burst forth endlessly; there is always a peak, followed by a descent into boundless darkness.
Death is certainly frightening, but the feeling of watching oneself weaken bit by bit, like a blunt knife cutting into flesh, is also a tornt that is hard to endure.
As the saying goes, “Turtles may live for a thousand years, and tortoises for ten thousand.”
Shen Yi always felt that Wu Jun of the Golden Patterned Turtle Demon race might be quite suitable for enduring this trial.
Of course, there was another reason.
That was, in the South Hong region, it was hard to find a demon with the sa level of talent and insight as Ke Shisan.
Its low cultivation was only because of its young age.
In terms of background, the Southern Dragon Palace was like a semi-ruler in South Hong. Ke Xuanjian was one of the rare direct descendants of this top-tier power, one of just thirteen Dragon Descendants.
Thirteen might sound like a lot.
But one has to realize that among those of the sa standing, the Seven Sons of Hong, just for the title of Daozi, would already number seven. Adding the direct disciples of the nurous elders, this number could very well surpass one hundred.
By comparison, the prestige associated with being one of the Dragon Descendants like Ke Shisan was so high it was sowhat terrifying. It could be said that within the younger generation, there were no more than twenty individuals whose background could surpass it, including both the Human Race and the Demon Race.
In terms of bloodline, it inherited the legacy of the Yellow Poison Dragon and also possessed the divine skills of the Purple Pearl Clam Demon, another great clan of the waters.
Not to ntion it was also extrely intelligent.
Since the Town Stone could not be used again, the Southern Dragon Palace had to be excluded.
Finding another similar demon to open the city was not an easy task.
Selecting the tallest from among the short, Wu Jun… was actually quite excellent.
After all, the Golden Patterned Turtle Demon race also counts as one of South Hong’s staunch forces.
[Remaining demon lifespan years: 1,750,000]
Shen Yi’s breath caught slightly, as if suddenly coming to his senses from a lavish spendthrift act, realizing there were only a few coins left in his purse.
If he rembered correctly, right before climbing the Path to Heaven, that sequence of numbers had started with an eight.
Apart from opening the White Jade Capital, he actually wanted to supplent his Cultivation Technique.
Thinking this, Shen Yi waved his hand wearily, “Go.”
“Wu Jun obeys the command!”
This Golden Patterned Turtle Demon took a deep breath, looked deeply at the statue of the majestic and domineering Yellow Dragon, finally mustered his courage, and bravely set off towards the second city, Chiming City.
As it stepped foot beneath the Immortal City, the inscription on the sign flickered uncertainly, as if stained by ripples in water, revealing the true form of the Northern Palace of Infinite Demons.
The vermilion gate swiftly turned pitch black.
In the quietly opening crack, the light rapidly changed, visibly turning from milky white to a rich purple.
Which cultivator, who could ascend to the White Jade Capital, was not a prominent genius in their youth?
But faced with this situation, even those with a Dao Heart as still as an ancient well would unconsciously tense up, to the point where even their breathing would be involuntarily held.
The slightest change in the light from within the portal might decide whether what is pulled out is a common spiritual weapon or a Hongng Heavenly Soldier that intimidates all beings.
However, for Shen Yi, the transition from white light to cyan, then to purple, was so natural, like water flows when it reaches the channel.
Even as the purple beca so thick it nearly turned tangible, his eyes still carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
Eleven entire levels of Heavenly Palaces, along with the gifts from Elder Xuan Qing, should not have culminated here.
Indeed, the familiar shade of gold once again leaped into view, even richer than before.
Using a Dao Pillar of far superior quality than others to build the Imasurable Demon Emperor Palace had definitely paid off.
“What a pity,” Shen Yi lanted with a slight downturn of his eyes. Even with his ample foundation, and the assistance from Elder Xuan Qing, he could only incorporate a strand of golden light into the purple qi.
But he would not regret, like Elder Xuan Qing, why he did not go slower or steadier at the beginning.
Because Shen Yi was well aware that every step he took, he had exerted his utmost effort.
Had he accepted Elder Xuan Qing’s final gift, perhaps he could have gone a step further when opening the city, but that was not sothing he wished to see.
Moreover, given Wu Jun’s bloodline talent,
Adding more difficulty, Shen Yi suspected that even if he exhausted all his resources, it might still not be enough for the other to successfully pass this tribulation.
Watching Wu Jun shuffle tentatively into Chiming City,
A similar transformation to what had previously appeared in Shen Yi’s mind erged once again.
It was still between the green waves, yet now there was a reef added. The Golden Patterned Turtle Demon lay idly on the edge of the stony beach, as if all vitality had been drained from its body.
This was just the beginning, and panic already appeared in Wu Jun’s eyes.
It found that its once-prized demon body seed to be stripped away by an invisible hand in an instant, rendering it so weak that even moving its limbs was difficult, let alone scaling mountains and crossing seas.
“My Lord…”
It instinctively considered retreat.
Shen Yi’s eyebrows raised slightly as he sensed the anomaly; unfortunately, he couldn’t help the other.
Although Wu Jun had enjoyed the blessings of the Demon Origin, that very thing torturing it was also making it stronger. This was in stark contrast to the current sensation of feeling increasingly weaker with nothing to be done.
