This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 713 - 602: Puppet Life Realm, Redfeather City_2

"Is Qingkong Sect also one you're supporting?"

Liang Yi's gaze shifted, and suddenly on the map, he noticed the Moro Domain next to the puppet area, marked with the location of Qingkong Sect, which they had previously disguised themselves as.

"How could that be possible, we only have some people planted inside."

Wan Tinggui smiled and waved his hand dismissively. That was a First-class force, and for now, they could only influence some decisions within that sect. To fully control it would still take some time.

They had several such targets, fully utilizing their time-honored expertise.

When they were with the Devouring Spirit Sect, all they did was quietly lurk and gather intelligence, staying as far away from the center of power as possible to ensure they wouldn't be exposed.

But now the direction had changed, they were set on causing trouble. The more power, the better, or else what was the point of playing?

"Hm? Senior Brother, look at this contour..."

Su Youyi, who was observing the map on the side, seemed to have noticed something. She suddenly stretched out her hand to rotate the map in the void by a hundred and eighty degrees, then flipped it inside out and sketched out the Mystical Mechanism Continent map alongside.

After placing these two maps together, everyone was astonished to discover that the outline of the Abyss Continent bore a shocking resemblance to the Mystical Mechanism Continent! It was almost as if one was a reflection of the other.

Wan Tinggui overlapped the two, and they matched exactly! The South Sea which they had just crossed was equivalent to Beimo of the Mystical Mechanism Continent!

"Observant indeed, Su Daoist friend, I've been here for so long and never noticed this..."

Wan Tinggui covered her mouth, her expression one of surprise as she looked toward the two maps in the air.

She had looked at this map many times, but had never compared it to the Mystical Mechanism Continent's map, therefore she had never noticed this. Yet Su Youyi, seeing it for the first time, was able to keenly detect the secret within, her sharp observational skills took Wan Tinggui by surprise.

"The Abyss is actually a reflection of the Mystical Mechanism Continent?"

He Zhiqing's eyes flickered with interest, and he was subconsciously tempted to calculate by pinching his fingers.

"Hisss!"

But as He Zhiqing extended his left hand, a streak of light flashed across the air, leaving a cut on the back of his hand.

"Do you not want your hands anymore? You dare to calculate this?"

The elder cat landed leisurely, gracefully retracting his paw, with a look that seeing an idiot.

How could this person dare? One calculation involving the Abyss is enough to be fatal, and yet he still thought of calculating the Abyss together with the Heavenly Dao.

"Out of habit, just out of habit..."

He Zhiqing also smiled sheepishly, feeling that he really got carried away. It was something he truly couldn't calculate.

It had been a long time since Ke Mengzhan had seen He Zhiqing take a setback, and this time he was quite refreshed, so he smiled happily watching the scene unfold on the side.

"The Abyss is actually a part that split off from the Heavenly Dao, don't you know?"

The elder cat looked at He Zhiqing and the others with puzzlement.

"That's a thing?!"

Upon hearing this, except for Liang Yi and Su Youyi, the rest were deeply shaken; it was their first time hearing about this.

"Huh? Didn't I tell them?"

The elder cat was startled by everyone's uniform reaction and looked at Liang Yi in confusion.

"You've only mentioned it to us, of course the others wouldn't know."

Liang Yi shrugged and replied.

"Old and forgetful, my memory isn't that good."

The elder cat patted his head, then simply explained the relation between the Abyss and the Heavenly Dao to everyone.

The origins of the Abyss were not complicated. The elder cat took less than half an incense stick's time to explain, but the details within that short period had shocked He Zhiqing and others time and again.

Wan Tinggui, Pang Qingshi, and Ke Mengzhan all looked as though their worldviews had been reshaped, leaning on their foreheads with profound expressions, digesting this explosive information on the spot.

So it turns out the Abyss was once a part of Heavenly Dao, merely a contaminated portion.

They had always speculated that the Abyss was another world within the Void, coveting the Mystical Mechanism world, intent on devouring it for some reason.

But now the truth was revealed; the Abyss had split off from Mystical Mechanism. Both the current Mystical Mechanism and the Abyss were in fact incomplete existences.

Only if one side was completely devoured by the other, could they be considered wholly complete again.

Liang Yi looked at everyone's shocked expressions and couldn't help but chuckle.

"But the fact that you are actually a reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao is really incredible."

Ke Mengzhan looked down at Mr. Orange, even now only just calming down a bit, but the thought was still somewhat unacceptable to him.

This fat cat? It's actually the Heavenly Dao?

"Now that you know my noble identity, huh? Show some respect from now on!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Mr. Orange strutted with feline grace, his tail held high behind him, with a face full of pride.

Finally, he could strut proudly. Mr. Orange was indeed in very high spirits right now!

"This..."

He Zhiqing and Ke Mengzhan exchanged glances, both seeing deep helplessness in each other's eyes.

If at first hearing this news they felt a sliver of awe, Mr. Orange's behavior made them feel like hanging and beating the Heavenly Dao!

Pang Qingshi didn't even cast a glance, with Senluo Wanxiang Sect always going against the Heavenly Dao; expect her to show awe? Dream on!

Only Wan Tinggui looked intrigued, incessantly sizing up Mr. Orange. Could the Heavenly Dao also reincarnate?

"No wonder the Banished Immortals insisted that you accompany us; it would indeed be difficult for just the few of us to find the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core."

Wan Tinggui now understood the real intent behind Chen Hua and the others stuffing this fat cat into their team.

Even with the presence of He Zhiqing and Pang Qingshi, two cultivators proficient in the Art of Divination, trying to locate the exact position of the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core without alerting the Abyss would probably take a long time.

If they had that much time, the Abyss would have likely already achieved its great power and broken out, sweeping across the Mystical Mechanism Continent. Then their investigation would be pointless!

"Hmm? So have you come up with any ideas yet?"

Liang Yi pointed to the Abyss Map beside him and asked Mr. Orange.

"Err... I just got here, I need some time, alright?"

Mr. Orange stiffened, then chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"However, since the terrain of the Abyss is quite similar to that of the Mystical Mechanism Continent, wouldn't the location of the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core be similar too?"

Su Youyi raised a finger and asked with curiosity.

"No, Heavenly Vein Spirit Cores are usually hidden very well by the Heavenly Dao of each world."

Mr. Orange shook his head, denying Su Youyi's speculation, and promptly lifted three paws.

"There are three unknowable places in a world! Two above the Nine Heavens, one being the abode of the Heavenly Dao and the other the convergence of Laws, and one below the Nine Heavens, which is the confluence of a world's Spiritual Power channels and the location of the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core."

Mr. Orange patiently explained these three places to everyone.

"The confluence of a world's Spiritual Power channels? So is heading to the very center of the entire Abyss now our most appropriate option?"

He Zhiqing nodded thoughtfully as he gazed at Redfeather City at the center of the map.

"That's right, give me some time to carefully sense the flow of the Abyss Demon Qi in this world. Once I've fully gathered it, that confluence will be the destination of our mission."

Mr. Orange's eyes revealed a solemnity as he slowly spoke.

"But with just us, can we really destroy the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core? It sounds like it's on the same level as the Heavenly Dao and the Laws."

Ke Mengzhan voiced his doubt. If they found the place, but failed to destroy it, that would be awkward.

"No problem at all! The very body of the core is incredibly fragile. As long as we can penetrate the world storm formed by the gathering of the Abyss Demon Qi surrounding it, then it's no issue!"

Mr. Orange confidently nodded his head.

After all, to put it simply, the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core is just the confluence of the entire world's Spiritual Power flow and a Spirit Core formed because of the terrifying congregation of that power.

In itself, it poses no danger, unless someone is foolish enough to try to directly absorb the Spiritual Power within the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core—that would be a premature journey to the afterlife.

Su Youyi took a covert glance at her senior brother, her eyes betraying a hint of concern.

She knew that the most effective method against the Abyss Demon Qi present was her senior brother's Cliff Sword Intent. Therefore, the pressure and danger her senior brother might face could be countless times more than theirs.

Noticing his junior sister's concerned look, Liang Yi quietly took Su Youyi's hand and smiled reassuringly, indicating that he was not worried.

Regardless of the danger, this task could only be entrusted to them. If the time came that he needed to clear the thorns, Liang Yi would not fear the spikes on those thorns!
