Chapter 666: Nine Big Demon Kings!
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Stepping on the purple gold hairpin, Hao Ren didn’t see the eight Soul Formation Realm cultivators who were lingering around the Immortal Spirit Island.
After breakfast with Xie Yujia and the others at home, he said that he needed to run an errand. In fact, he remembered that he needed to finish the mission of delivering the elixir pill to Penglai Island in one week.
The celestial mountains where independent cultivators lived were all situated in the Demon Sea, and ordinary cultivators couldn’t enter. Even the inspectors of the Dragon God Shrine didn’t dare to enter the Demon Sea without a cause.
Now that Hao Ren had reached top-tier Dui-level, only four openings away from Xun-level, he sensed the abundant nature essence of the Demon Sea while he traveled on the sea surface.
The purple gold hairpin was so fast that the moment the bottom of the golden boat touched the water, it entered the depth of the Demon Sea from the edge in the blink of an eye.
The eight Soul Formation Realm cultivators watched the golden boat disappear from their sight in an instant, and they were astonished by its speed which was even faster than the traveling speed of Soul Formation Realm cultivators.
“The golden boat is probably a supreme spiritual treasure!” they thought.
“Well. With the godly lamp stolen, we have to ask Qingfeng Hermit to deal with it,” one of the eight Soul Formation Realm cultivators sighed helplessly.
The other seven Soul Formation Realm cultivators looked scared when they heard the name of Qingfeng Hermit.
They had received the news that Qingfeng Hermit was still in seclusion cultivation on Eighth Heaven, and none of them dared to interrupt her.
After all, Qingfeng Hermit was extremely eccentric!
“Forget it,” one of the Soul Formation Realm cultivators said.
The others nodded. The godly lamp was one of the ultimate treasures of Kunlun Mountain, but dealing with Qingfeng Hermit was more troublesome!
Hua… Eight lights flew toward the land.
“I remember that… Qingfeng Hermit took a girl as her disciple. If we can find the girl, maybe she can ask Qingfeng Hermit to solve the problem for us.” During their swift flight, one of the cultivators said suddenly.
“If we can find the girl, we can give it a try. Anyway, let’s go back and cultivate for a while since we all used lots of cultivation strength last night,” another Soul Formation Realm cultivator said.
The Kunlun Godly Lamp was the ultimate treasure of the Kunlun Mountain and the core item that kept the big array formation around the Kunlun Mountain operational. However, these cultivators didn’t think that the demon king who stole it could activate the ancient godly lamp without the special array formation in Kunlun!
Besides, without the big array formation, the Kunlun Mountain was still guarded by the Soul Formation Realm cultivators, and they didn’t think that anyone would dare to make trouble for them.
They were planning to wait until Qingfeng Hermit came out of her seclusion cultivation!
Only her note technique could defeat demon kings!
Boom! While the Soul Formation Realm cultivators left in frustration without a plan to deal with Lady Zhen, Hao Ren had reached the center of the Demon Sea on the golden boat.
When Hao Ren led the troops of East Ocean across the Demon Sea, they had avoided the central area and detoured a little to avoid trouble. Now that Hao Ren got close to the center of the Demon Sea, he felt as if he had entered a sea full of abundant nature essence. Each breath he took contained the purest form of nature essence!
Waves of fog floated on the sea. It wasn’t the water vapor that was evaporated by the Sun but the excess nature essence that was coming from the Demon Sea!
If mortals entered this place, the high intensity of nature essence would kill them! Even low-level cultivators would die of bleeding meridians.
Under the sea, level 10 demon beasts surged up like waves, and they looked at Hao Ren greedily.
Hum! The golden boat which Hao Ren stepped on released purple light all over the place.
The level 10 demon beasts that were ready to make a move scrambled away like a startled herd of fishes.
These level 10 demon beasts could transform into humans after surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, and they moved near the ocean surface since their strengths were not great enough for them to live deep in the ocean!
While Hao Ren flew across the surface of the sea which was covered by a thick layer of fog-like nature essence, he was tempted to see the world underwater. Although he knew Lady Zhen and Duan Yao had returned to the Demon Sea, he was only at top-tier Dui-level and was not qualified to visit Lady Zhen.
If he still couldn’t find enough spiritual herbs for cultivating the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus after his trip to the Nine Dragon Palace with Su Han, he would come to the Demon Sea to try his luck!
While he made his plan, the golden boat left a series of purple afterimages and flew toward a distant island.
As one of the three biggest remote celestial mountains, Penglai Island was almost in the center of the Demon Sea. With layers of fog-like nature essence floating around the island, it looked like a realm of its own.
Stepping on the golden boat, Hao Ren saw a reef protruding from the island and the ancient characters on it, Penglai, from a distance.
The Dragon God Shrine had no detailed map on the layout of the islands in the Demon Sea except the information that Penglai Celestial Mountain was situated in the center of the Demon Sea. After some searching, Hao Ren had found it.
However, he was only able to do this since he had Lady Zhen’s purple gold hairpin. If other inspectors, including top-tier Qian-level dragon cultivators, had roamed on the surface of the Demon Sea, they would have been swallowed by a dozen level 10 demon beasts which were eager to break through.
To Hao Ren’s surprise, the Penglai Celestial Mountain had no array formation around it. His golden boat landed successfully on the island.
“Which friend has come to visit me?” A voice came from the depth of the island.
“I’m Inspector Hao Ren from the Dragon God Shrine. I’m here to deliver the elixir pills,” Hao Ren answered.
From the perspective of cultivation, these remote independent cultivators were human cultivators.
However, different from the cultivation sects on land which were like large-scale schools, these islands were more like small private home-schools.
However, the independent cultivators who could live on the Demon Sea were figures with extremely great cultivation strength.
“Oh?” The person in the depth of the island sounded surprised, probably since he didn’t expect a dragon cultivator of the Dragon God Shrine could come to this place.
After a moment of hesitation, the voice sounded again, “You’ve got an identity token from Lady Zhen. No wonder you can come here.”
The independent cultivators on the remote celestial mountains had agreements with the big demon kings, so even level 10 demon beasts wouldn’t attack the islands. That was why these islands didn’t have array formation around them.
When Hao Ren landed on the island on the dharma treasure, the Penglai Island Master had thought that another independent cultivator of a nearby island had sent a disciple here to deliver something, not expecting Hao Ren from the Dragon God Shrine.
“Qingfeng! Mingyue! Welcome the guest!” The cultivator on the island called out.
The moment he said it, a handsome boy and a pretty girl appeared from the void, looking at Hao Ren curiously.
While putting away the purple gold hairpin, Hao Ren was secretly alarmed since he had felt nothing when the two kids who were about seven years old had hidden themselves in the void on both sides of him!
When they appeared, Hao Ren checked their realms and realized that they were already at low-tier Nascent Soul Realm!
Following the two kids cautiously, Hao Ren saw all kinds of precious beasts on the island.
Some deer ran from a nearby forest, and Hao Ren realized that they were all level 5 and level 6 spirit beasts.
“It’s fortunate that Little White isn’t here, or its self-esteem will be crushed,” Hao Ren thought.
No wonder Penglai was ranked as one of the three biggest remote celestial mountains. When Hao Ren saw Penglai Island in the high sky, he had thought that it wasn’t a big island. However, when he was inside walking on the winding path, he realized that he couldn’t see the end of it.
If the famous Penglai Island weren’t situated in the most dangerous Demon Sea, there would probably be lots of inspectors wanting to take this mission.
“Master, Gongzi Hao is here.” After leading Hao Ren around one corner, passing a big peach tree, and coming to a closed brass door, the two kids reported to the person inside.
During the journey, Hao Ren noticed that all the plants were blooming, including peach flowers, pear flowers, plum flowers, and more.
Keeping the flowers blooming was something Lady Zhen was capable of. However, the flowers on Penglai Island were in full bloom at the same time without any special array formation, and it showed the great power of the island master.
“Junior Hao Ren greets the Penglai Island Master,” Hao Ren cupped his hands and bowed.
There were islands of different sizes on the Demon Sea, and they were all occupied by independent cultivators. It was a remote cultivation world different from the one on the land.
Having almost no dealings with the cultivation sects on land, the independent cultivators had their own system, which was why they didn’t join the war between the cultivation sects and the dragon clans.
However, the independent cultivators on the remote celestial islands had regular dealings with each other. Living on Penglai Island, one of the three biggest remote celestial mountains, its master was one of the three most influential figures among the independent cultivators.
Hao Ren was very respectful at this moment for his own benefit as he wondered if the Penglai Island Master would give him something for his efforts.
Otherwise, the master could have asked him to leave instead of bringing him into the island.
“The Dragon God Shrine is indeed full of talented people, and one of its inspectors can even enter the Demon Sea,” the voice sounded from behind the brass door, and it seemed like the Penglai Island Master was looking at Hao Ren up and down.
Hao Ren took out the small bottle from his necklace and handed it to the little boy who was wearing an Eight-Trigram Taoist robe and standing beside him.
“At your age, it is not easy to cultivate to top-tier Dui-level on land where nature essence is scarce,” the Penglai Island Master continued.
“Huh…” This person paused for a second before continuing in amazement “Immortal Physique! You have the Immortal Physique?”
“With the Immortal Physique, you still managed to fly across the Demon Sea without being eaten by the level 10 demon beasts. It seems like Lady Zhen’s power has grown even stronger. However, level 10 demon beasts have activated their intelligence. Now the news is out, and you’ll catch the eyes of the other nine most powerful demon kings when you leave my place.”
The person on the other side of the brass door said after a short pause.
