Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 1005 - 1001: Gate of Realms

The flying knives discovered them, as well as the disciples of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace lurking in the shadows.

Two groups of Great Heavenly Demon Palace disciples followed, silently trailing them.

Zhu Qingzhi was once again lost in thought.

Leng Tieya knew she was communicating with several managers, exchanging information.

He guessed that she had learned about the situation over there, where the Ghost Bone Sect had other secret bases.

They might be like this cave or even stronger bases.

Zhu Qingzhi looked up at Leng Tieya and shared her findings.

Leng Tieya nodded.

Zhu Qingzhi frowned and said, "Nephew, we at the Great Heavenly Demon Palace have made a mistake, misjudging the Ghost Bone Sect!"

Leng Tieya smiled silently.

Having just joined the Great Heavenly Demon Palace, he refrained from speaking rashly to avoid discontent.

Moreover, mistakes are common occurrences.

"Senior Brother Meng was careless!" Zhu Qingzhi said discontentedly, "He underestimated the Ghost Bone Sect and failed to investigate thoroughly, leading to the current embarrassing situation. It risks ending up as half-cooked rice!"

Leng Tieya laughed, "Just bring in more experts, the Ghost Bone Sect cannot possibly be stronger than us."

The strength of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace naturally surpassed the Ghost Bone Sect, ensuring victory.

Even if there were setbacks, it couldn’t change the larger situation.

As for the loss of a few Outer Palace Disciples, or even Inner Palace Disciples, it all depended on their fate.

"It’s not that simple!" Zhu Qingzhi murmured discontentedly, "Aside from dispatching several Outer Palace Disciples, this time we must use Inner Palace Disciples, but they are all out, not returned yet!"

"Senior Brother Zhao Yuanfeng has returned to the palace."

"That’s good." Zhu Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "Having one more Inner Palace Disciple is always beneficial."

The Great Heavenly Demon’s power far surpassed the Heavenly Demon’s, and the Ghost Bone Sect followed the path of the Evil Cultivators, having many at the level of Heavenly Demons, but rarely reaching that of the Great Sky Demon.

However, with more Heavenly Demons, the odds of producing a Great Sky Demon increased, ensuring there would be one.

Only a Great Sky Demon could handle another Great Sky Demon.

Including Senior Brother Meng and adding Leng Tieya, there were only three Great Sky Demons, and that wasn’t secure.

Leng Tieya said, "Chief, leave this to me, you take them over there."

"... Very well." Zhu Qingzhi considered it, feeling it was better this way.

There were already enough Great Heavenly Demon Palace disciples surrounding that area, and any Ghost Bone Sect disciples coming over would be intercepted directly.

Someone staying behind on this side was to prevent Ghost Bone Sect disciples from running over from elsewhere.

She looked towards the cave, whispering, "Can’t we destroy those Ghost Bone Flowers directly?"

"The Ghost Bone Flowers are an irresistible temptation for them, an undigestible bait," Leng Tieya shook his head, "Destroying them would prevent dispersing their efforts."

"Then I’ll discuss it with the chief." Zhu Qingzhi said, pondering.

Moments later, her bright eyes flashed, and she nodded gently, "The chief agreed, so we’ll go now, Nephew, take care of yourself."

Leng Tieya smiled and nodded.

Zhu Qingzhi led a group of Great Heavenly Demon Palace Outer Palace Disciples away gracefully.

Leng Tieya watched them leave and sighed with relief.

With them around, he was restricted, unable to use many techniques.

Especially with the Demon Artifact eager to emerge.

In his palm appeared a white flower bud, merely the size of his palm.

His palm flattened.

The flower bud slowly bloomed.

Layer by layer the petals unfolded, revealing a radiant jewel in the center.

The radiant jewel was dazzling, impossible to gaze at directly.

Leng Tieya examined this Breaking Space Demon Device; since its refinement, it had rarely shown itself.

Its appearance had unknowingly transformed, resembling a lotus.

He felt the lotus petals pulsating, absorbing the surrounding aura.

These auras were peculiar, previously unnoticed by him.

Now all of them flowed into the lotus.

He quickly tracked the source of these auras, the Ghost Bone Flowers within the cave.

The aura of the Ghost Bone Flowers was being absorbed continuously by the Breaking Space Demon Device.

Leng Tieya sensed the Breaking Space Demon Device emitting a feeling of satisfaction, like drought met with spring rain.

He frowned involuntarily.

He felt a strong aversion toward these Ghost Bone Flowers, after all, they grew from skulls, absorbing the spiritual energy of a Demon Clan member to form flowers.

Although the Ghost Bone Flowers appeared as golden liquid under his Super Sense, extremely precious, he still didn’t want to touch them.

Unexpectedly, the Breaking Space Demon Device favored the power of the Ghost Bone Flowers.

Yet it absorbed not the golden liquid-like energy inside the Ghost Bone Flowers, but another type of energy.

Each Ghost Bone Flower contained only a wisp of this strange energy, which entered the Breaking Space Demon Device and never appeared again.

Once the entire cave’s Ghost Bone Flowers ceased to produce this wisp of energy, the Demon Device showed a slight change.

One petal turned a faint gold, distinct from the others.

This faint golden petal gave rise to an indescribable feeling within him.

He saw the surrounding void change, presenting a series of light gates.

These light gates differed from those drawn by the White Cloud Map.

These light gates had frames, fixed in place, with diverse materials and varied engravings.

Leng Tieya couldn’t help but gaze at one of the light gates.

Unconsciously, he knew this light gate led to the Little Outer Heaven.

What about the other light gates?

He counted, there were a total of nine light gates, intertwined in the void.

He pondered and took a step forward, reaching the light gate of the Little Outer Heaven, ready to enter.

He aimed to understand the differences between this light gate and those of the White Cloud Map.

He lifted his foot, staying alert, prepared for unpredictable scenarios.

Yet his step halted, suspended in mid-air.

The tip of his foot was blocked by a gentle yet firm force, unable to touch the light gate. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He stubbornly pressed forward, but the resilient force steadfastly blocked his tiptoe, preventing progress.

He frowned at the light gate.

Vaguely, through the light gate, he saw mountains gathered, lush and green.

A bright idea struck him; he turned to the pale yellow petal and then urged it on.

The petal emanated a gentle golden glow that floated toward the light gate.

Upon contact with the light gate, it shook several times.

Instantly, he felt the release at his tiptoe, now unobstructed, so he stepped inside.

In the next moment, his view shook, light warped, everything changed suddenly.

The moment afterward, his feet landed firmly on the peak of a majestic mountain.

All around was a sea of mist, obscuring the distance, yet not blocking the Super Sensing Illumination.

He found himself amidst a vast mountain range, all around ten miles were mountains.

The spiritual energy nearby suddenly thinned, the air felt less fresh, making him feel uncomfortable to breathe.

It felt like entering a polluted place from a clean one; although there was no offensive smell, breathing wasn’t comfortable.

He discarded these abnormal feelings and sprinted towards the sunlight, like lightning.

He swept over mountains, glided across rivers, eventually reaching a city.

Jiangchuan City.

He knew this city; it was a bustling city of the Da Jing Dynasty.

He stood mid-air, observing the situation in Jiangchuan City, shaking his head.

This was the wonder of the Breaking Space Demon Device, yet it wasn’t so useful to him.

The light gates of the White Cloud Map sufficed for returning to the Little Outer Heaven, Da Jing, and the Prince Qing Mansion.

But what about the other light gates?

He activated the Breaking Space Demon Device; once again, nine light gates appeared in the void.

The original light gate of Little Outer Heaven was now replaced by that of the Outer Heaven.

He stepped into the light gate of the Outer Heaven, the scene shaking before him.

In the next moment, he found himself on the mountain opposite the Yougu Flower Cave.

Satisfied, he nodded, returning to the original spot saved much trouble.

Subsequently, he looked towards the remaining eight light gates, curiosity stirred within him.

At this moment, Zhu Qingzhi’s voice came through the Soul Pearl.

Leng Tieya had to suppress his curiosity and exchanged a few words with Zhu Qingzhi, scanning his surroundings.

Zhu Qingzhi informed him that more Ghost Bone Sect experts were approaching, four top-tier Heavenly Demons, warning him to be cautious.

The Great Heavenly Demon Palace Outer Palace Disciples had to quickly reach the Ghost Bone Sect’s valley base, with no delay, leaving him to handle these four Ghost Bone Sect experts alone.

Leng Tieya agreed readily, assuring her not to worry, that he would deal with these four experts.

His gaze turned towards another direction, six Ghost Bone Sect experts were rushing over.

His eyes then shifted to the opposite direction, where six more Ghost Bone Sect experts were also arriving.

They had clearly received news, preparing to turn from guests into hosts.
