Chapter 1041: Chapter 30 Nirvana
“I’ve decided to stop being human,” the premise sounds quite impressive, evolving from a human to a higher existence.
But evolving into a Heavenly Demon… Let’s not ntion whether it’s really a higher level of existence, how do you explain this failed evolution?
As if detecting Chen Guanshui’s mocking gaze, the shadow helplessly defended itself:
“Transforming all Nascent Soul Elders and Golden Core True Persons into Heavenly Demon forms was a decision made by the sect’s core leadership. We did not have the power to refuse.”
“Later, when the transformation failed, most of the leadership died on the spot. Those who were lucky enough to survive beca these bizarre shadow forms, unable to leave this place for life.”
Chen Guanshui pondered for a mont and asked:
“Given that, what about the Foundation Establishnt disciples and civilians? Where did they go?”
“I was just about to explain to you, fellow Daoist.” The shadow let out a bitter laugh, “Becoming a Heavenly Demon not only permanently alters the physical form but also fundantally changes the nature of the soul.”
“So fellow sect mbers were deeply transford, their minds assimilated by the instincts of the Heavenly Demon, and thus began to voraciously devour civilians within this Dwelling Cave Heaven…”
Although the shadow had not finished speaking, Chen Guanshui, with his wisdom, imdiately guessed his intention:
The reason he was invited in for negotiation was simply to use his strength to eliminate those Heavenly Demon-transford evil cultivators.
On the other side, as soon as Shi Liuli entered the secret realm, she discreetly pinched a Daoist Formula, switching the entrance of the secret realm.
The secret realm’s entrance was designed to be extrely concealed, hard to detect from a distance, showing the high secrecy requirents of the Feather Courtyard Gate.
Therefore, she spent so extra ti and finally confird that the entrance to this secret realm indeed had restrictions set.
Once the restriction is activated, it can transport entrants to another location—where that might be is unknown, but it’s not a likely benevolent place compared to where it originally led.
As the person most aware of the current situation, Shi Liuli clearly knew her strengths and weaknesses.
An Zhisu and Xu Yinglian were both formidable in combat; although she needed to leverage their strength, she couldn’t let them reach Luo Yan unhard. Otherwise, once a conflict arose, it would be disadvantageous to her.
First, she created so trials and difficulties for them to wear down their strength.
Of course, if both of them ended up falling here because of her interference, it may seem like she couldn’t rely on their help, but in the long run, it would an removing major threats, which wouldn’t be such a bad result.
Thinking of this, Shi Liuli couldn’t help but feel a sense of joy.
The gloom and pain of being deceived and tricked by her husband were finally slightly alleviated.
Upon entering the secret realm, she discovered that a massive city had been built here, and her estimation of the Feather Courtyard Gate rose considerably.
This place… It seems that besides the sect cultivators, many civilians related to the sect also live here, hence such a huge city.
But why did the Feather Courtyard Gate allow civilians inside?
With this thought, Shi Liuli casually tossed a copper coin and perford a divination.
No response.
In this Dwelling Cave Heaven, there was evidently so restriction suppressing art calculations, preventing her from predicting the future.
So Shi Liuli didn’t hesitate, quickly choosing a house at random to hide in.
An Zhisu and Xu Yinglian, who entered the secret realm at the sa ti as her, appeared in a dark environnt.
All around were mud-green bricks, and the stone slab floor beneath their feet was uneven, with shallow puddles everywhere.
An Zhisu glanced to the side, seeing that it was Xu Yinglian, and showed a disappointed expression:
“Where’s Dong You, did you see her?”
She ran off long ago… Xu Yinglian thought to herself, but she didn’t tell the truth, rely said blandly:
“She ca in before you.”
“Hmm.” An Zhisu frowned again, looking around.
Although she saw no one, a sense of impending danger grew increasingly intense in her Sea of Consciousness.
She slowly ford a Sword technique, and both the Flying Smoke Sword and the Harsh Cold Sword unsheathed simultaneously, hovering in the air ahead on high alert.
Seeing her readiness for battle, Xu Yinglian couldn’t help but form a Daoist Formula, with the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire ready to launch.
After only a few breaths, the iron gate ahead slowly began to open.
From behind that gate, a hand first reached out, gripping the edge of the gate, then slowly pushed it open.
The hand had no flesh or bones but was a kind of soft, limp gray substance, like rotten mud, roughly sketching out the shape of five fingers.
Then a body squeezed out from behind the door, with the sa rotten, foul-slling skin, and only faint holes for facial features above the neck, making one want to retch at the sight.
“Niefelu.” Within Xu Yinglian’s Sea of Consciousness, Feng Lan suddenly spoke.
“What?”
“Creatures corrupted by the Heavenly Demons,” Feng Lan said gravely, “It’s said that before Nuwa patched the sky, the Heavenly Demons could easily descend into the world through the cracks in the sky to hunt.”
“So Heavenly Demons, too lazy to hunt themselves, would use so spell to corrupt humans or demons, turning them into these rotten bodies…”
Before Feng Lan could finish speaking, An Zhisu couldn’t hold back and attacked first.
The Flying Smoke Sword shot forward rapidly, piercing through the rotting mud creature, the wound suddenly erupting in blazing flas, enveloping its body completely in an instant.
“…The most troubleso aspect of this Niefelu is its extensive attack range, and that it’s impervious to swords, spears, water, or fire.” Feng Lan continued explaining.
