Free Web NovelChapter 1917: Chapter 1902: Taimeng Demon Realm
When Captain Zhou from the Two-World Teleportation Formation found Ye Zhen at a restaurant, drenched in sweat, Ye Zhen was leisurely savoring fine wine and dining on an entire banquet.
Those passing through Zhengyao Two-World City are wealthy, so the culinary offerings here are abundant, spanning the world from South to North Sea.
Ye Zhen figured that with his upcoming departure from the Primordial Continent, it would be difficult to taste the unique delicacies of the continent again within the next two or three years.
"Count Ye, we finally found you."
"What’s the matter, Captain Zhou? Come, have a bowl of water wine to refresh your throat and then speak." Ye Zhen casually handed him a bowl of wine.
With a gulp, Captain Zhou downed the whole bowl, leaned against the table, and said, "Count Ye, I am here mainly to inform you that your investigation is complete. From now on, you can use the Two-World Teleportation Formation at any time!"
"Oh, the investigation is over?"
"Indeed, it was ordered personally by the garrison commander, no need to worry!" Captain Zhou added.
"Thank you! How about joining me for a drink?" Ye Zhen invited.
Captain Zhou glanced at Ye Zhen again but shook his head, "I have duties to attend to, so I won’t impose. Farewell!"
In a flash, Captain Zhou departed from the restaurant.
Captain Zhou wasn’t foolish; the garrison commander’s attitude had changed so obviously, who knows what Ye Zhen did.
He certainly did not want to get involved with Ye Zhen, just to avoid raising unnecessary suspicions from the garrison commander, as he reported directly to Marquis Ji Guan.
Watching Captain Zhou leave, Ye Zhen chuckled and resumed his wine and food.
The news came faster than Ye Zhen expected.
Apparently, Marquis Kaiyuan Ji Guan is even less impressive than reported.
The intelligence described Marquis Kaiyuan Ji Guan with four words: ’tough exterior, soft interior’.
An ostensibly strong but fundamentally weak individual, all bark and no bite.
In fact, even though Great Zhou has been peaceful for many years and has enforced a policy of iron and blood, the royal disciples who assume military roles, such as Ji Guan, do so in positions with no real danger.
There are few royal disciples capable of developing a fighting spirit.
This was precisely why Ye Zhen devised this plan.
As for the mysterious occurrences over the last two days, with the help of a Little Demon, everything went smoothly.
Meanwhile, within the Guardian Mansion, since Ye Zhen left, Marquis Ji Guan had been restless.
The experiences from the last two days and Ye Zhen’s visit today truly frightened him.
Having faced close scrapes with death twice, he was at his wits’ end.
After Ye Zhen left and he issued the command to stop obstructing Ye Zhen, he had been constantly asking Eunuch Yua whether Ye Zhen had left Zhengyao Two-World City.
Marquis Kaiyuan Ji Guan had decided that if Ye Zhen didn’t leave today, he would.
He would find an excuse to visit the Military Governor’s Mansion, where experts abound, which should be very safe.
Fortunately, two hours later, Marquis Kaiyuan Ji Guan received the news that Ye Zhen had already used the Zhengyao Two Worlds Transfer Formation and left the Primordial Continent.
Only then did Marquis Kaiyuan Ji Guan breathe a sigh of relief, the terrifying, chilly feeling behind his head finally disappeared!
Upon entering the Zhongzuo Zhengyao Realm, Ye Zhen merely took a brief look at the scenery.
The Zhengyao Realm is just an ordinary little world; among its Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, Earth Spiritual Power predominates, accounting for eighty percent, with omnipresent Earth Spiritual Power.
Wood Spiritual Power is slightly less, Water Spiritual Power comes next, while Fire Spirit Power and Golden Spirit Power are very rare.
This characteristic caters to the defensive attributes of the Zhengyao Realm.
The Two-World Teleportation Formation between Zhengyao Realm and the Primordial Continent, and between Zhengyao Realm and the Taimeng Demon Realm, are divided into two parts.
The Two-World Teleportation Formation between Zhengyao Realm and the Primordial Continent is located within Zhengyao City in the Zhengyao Realm.
While the Two-World Teleportation Formation between Zhengyao Realm and the Taimeng Demon Realm is located outside the city, separated by two huge army camps.
One camp belongs to the Taimeng Demon Realm’s garrison, which appears somewhat disorganized. The other belongs to the Great Zhou Empire’s garrison, strict and disciplined.
Moreover, here in Zhengyao City, the city walls are broad and tall, engraved inside and outside with countless mysterious and complex patterns, each subtly resonating with the breath of Earth Spiritual Power.
Imagine, once the Demon Race invades, the Zhengyao Realm could become a stronghold for resistance, and Zhengyao City, relying on the extremely abundant Earth Spiritual Power within the Zhengyao Realm, could exert powerful defensive capabilities.
It’s said that as long as the defensive power is normally functioning, Zhengyao City can withstand a top-tier Dao Realm powerhouse’s attack for several days.
Since the last invasion by the Demon Race and Demon Clan, Great Zhou’s vigilance against the Demon Race has reached its peak.
If not for the quagmire of the Human-Demon Battlefield consistently draining Great Zhou’s strength, with Great Zhou’s aggressive nature, they might have already launched a retaliatory campaign against the Taimeng Demon Realm.
Ye Zhen only gained a cursory understanding of these matters, and after stopping for half a day in Zhengyao Realm, he departed for the Taimeng Demon Realm.
The Two-World Teleportation Formation from Zhengyao Realm to Taimeng Demon Realm is guarded by the Demon Race.
Compared to the strictness of the Great Zhou People, the Demon Race’s guard is much more relaxed.
After verifying the documentation issued by the Great Zhou on the other side and inquiring about Ye Zhen’s purposes, a registration was made, and Ye Zhen was allowed to pass.
The most important thing was that Ye Zhen was charged a hundred high-grade spiritual stones as the two-world teleportation fee; when coming over, Zhengyao Two Realm City had only charged ten high-grade spiritual stones.
Ye Zhen felt that the Demon Race likely already considered this two-world teleportation passage as a way to make money.
An hour later, Ye Zhen had successfully arrived in the Taimeng Demon Realm.
The Taimeng Demon Realm is a small world within the All Heavens, complete with Heaven and Earth Laws, similar to the Primordial Continent.
The fundamental difference from the Primordial Continent, which is a great world within the All Heavens, is that the Taimeng Demon Realm is unable to nurture any innate spiritual treasures compared to the Primordial Continent.
Moreover, the earth vein of the great world-level Primordial Continent is incredibly rich; over the years, the area of the Primordial Continent has been slowly growing.
Essentially, the size of the great world within the All Heavens will continue to slowly grow as long as this great world exists.
However, a small world within the All Heavens has a limit.
Additionally, the two-world barriers and the earth primal core of the great world within the All Heavens are much stronger than those in the small world.
The specific differences and gaps are many, too much to elaborate.
In this Taimeng Demon Realm, the Demon Race occupies over ninety percent; compared to the Human Clan’s development and utilization, the Demon Race also develops and utilizes, but it falls far short compared to the Human Clan.
The advantage is that the scenic beauty in the Taimeng Demon Realm is much better than the Primordial Continent.
It is practically a picturesque landscape of mountains and rivers.
However, Ye Zhen only admired this beauty for half a day before feeling somewhat tired of it.
Before coming, Ye Zhen got a simplified map of the Taimeng Demon Realm from the Heavenly Patrol Department and confirmed the first destination.
Ye Zhen’s first destination is the Tiger Clan’s residence in the Taimeng Demon Realm, the White Tiger Mountain.
Back then, Xuan Hu, Zhu Hong, Sunx Ba, and Hu Qingtong all returned to their respective clan lands; the clan lands of Zhu Hong, Sunx Ba, and Hu Qingtong are scattered.
However, within the Demon Race, the Tiger Clan, especially those of noble bloodline, is entirely concentrated in the White Tiger Mountain Range of the Taimeng Demon Realm.
Ye Zhen plans to find Xuan Hu first and then contact Zhu Hong, Sunx Ba, Hu Qingtong, and others through Xuan Hu.
Unfortunately, when they split up back then, the only method of contact was the talisman communication, which couldn’t reach beyond its range.
Ye Zhen can only go find them first.
Although the Taimeng Demon Realm is a small world within the All Heavens, it is vast and boundless.
Ye Zhen asked about it; the place where he arrived, the two-world teleportation formation in the Taimeng Demon Realm, is approximately sixteen million miles away from the White Tiger Mountain Range.
At Ye Zhen’s speed of less than six hundred thousand miles a day, it would take nearly a month to get there.
Reluctantly, Ye Zhen let the little cat take the road.
With the little cat’s normal speed of two hundred thousand miles per hour, covering two million four hundred thousand miles a day, it would take only seven days to reach the White Tiger Mountain Range.
During these seven days, Ye Zhen was not idle.
Ye Zhen transformed the Mirage Dragon Pearl into a bright pearl, hanging it from the neck of the little cat, allowing the little cat to take the Mirage Dragon Pearl to the White Tiger Mountain Range.
Meanwhile, Ye Zhen seized the time to refine and merge the fragment of the All Heavens Small World.
Normal martial artists need three to five years to refine a fragment of a typical great world, while refining such a fragment of a small world within the All Heavens, complete with Dao Law Imprints, usually takes them at least thirty to fifty years.
Therefore, martial artists rarely use fragments of small worlds within the All Heavens to break through the Ninth Stage Peak of the Dark Palace Realm.
Those who dare to use fragments from small worlds within the All Heavens have a secret technique for refining or an unusually fast speed.
Ye Zhen’s strong primordial spirit greatly reduced the time required to refine this fragment from the small world within the All Heavens.
According to Ye Zhen’s refining speed these days, it would take him about four and a half years to completely refine the fragment of the All Heavens Small World, enabling him to break through to the Realm King Realm.
Four and a half years is indeed quite a long time.
Fortunately, Ye Zhen has the sequential space of the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
Given sufficient time, Ye Zhen needs only four and a half months to complete the refinement and breakthrough to the Realm King Realm.
However, it is clear that Ye Zhen cannot spend twelve hours a day in the sequential space of the Mirage Dragon Pearl refining the fragment from the All Heavens Small World.
Therefore, Ye Zhen seizes every opportunity to hide in the sequential space of the Mirage Dragon Pearl to cultivate and refine, regularly spending at least half his daily time in the sequential space cultivating and refining.
Ye Zhen estimates that by continuing this way, he can break through to the Realm King Realm in three months at the fastest or six to seven months at the slowest.
At that time, once Ye Zhen’s cultivation breaks through to the Realm King Realm, the heavens and the paths before him will change once more.
During the more than a year of disaster relief in the Yizhi Sand Sea, the little cat had stayed in the sequential space of the Mirage Dragon Pearl to cultivate.
Over ten years of cultivation and a substantial supply of cultivation resources brought the little cat’s cultivation to the late stage of Fifth Stage Realm King Realm.
While flying in the Taimeng Demon Realm, the little cat revealed its true form, and combined with its naturally strong aura, few from the Demon Race dared to provoke it.
The journey was rather safe, until the afternoon of the sixth day, less than three million miles from the White Tiger Mountain Range, when an incident occurred.
