Chapter 1211: Smuggling Cultivators
Chapter 1211: Smuggling Cultivators
After obtaining the Ten Thousand Trees Spring Birth Imprint Divine Ability from the light orb within the Demon Ghost Vine, Lu Xuan remained on the Sword Peak. He cultivated this intermediate-level divine ability while simultaneously making arrangements for his upcoming journey.
The trip to the Heavenly Demon Cave Heaven in the Demon Realm might take a considerable amount of time, and it was not advisable for his main body to be exposed within his personal space. Thus, he needed to make the necessary preparations.
During this time, Lu Xuan also visited the Sword Sect's library on several occasions, seeking out familiar fellow disciples like Li Xuandust, Jian Hantian, and Mo Yuanfeng to gather as much information as possible about the Demon Realm.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and he once again entered the Thunder Beast's territory, finding the Green Horned Thunder Beast.
"Senior, I've come to ask a favor. I'd like you to accompany me to the Demon Realm to gather some materials and, along the way, search for the spirit seed in the secret realm of your Thunder Beast clan that you mentioned." Lu Xuan respectfully bowed to the Green Horned Thunder Beast.
"No problem. I'll leave it all to you," the Green Horned Thunder Beast readily agreed.
After consuming the Turtle Crane Yuan Dan that Lu Xuan had provided, the Green Horned Thunder Beast not only extended its lifespan by nearly a hundred years but also restored its strength to near-peak condition.
Having received such a significant favor from Lu Xuan, it naturally wouldn't refuse this request, and accompanying him to the Demon Realm was not a problem at all.
"Good," Lu Xuan nodded with a smile.
"I usually conduct myself with utmost discretion and caution. Your strength is too powerful, and entering the Demon Realm might attract the attention of those terrifying demons. Therefore, I plan to have you enter a spatial magical treasure, and at a critical moment, you can make a timely appearance, which will have an extraordinary effect."
"I wonder what Senior thinks of this idea?"
Lu Xuan showed the Green Horned Thunder Beast the utmost respect.
"No problem," the Green Horned Thunder Beast nodded without hesitation, its body shrinking to the size of an ordinary water buffalo.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan captured it and stored it within his Tiny Universe Scroll.
"Lu Xuan, I didn't expect you to possess such a spatial treasure!"
"It seems the Sword Sect has treated you well!"
From within the Tiny Universe Scroll, the Green Horned Thunder Beast's muffled thunderous voice echoed.
Lu Xuan chuckled but didn't offer further explanation, letting the Green Horned Thunder Beast guess.
Having known each other for over a hundred years, their friendship was deep, and Lu Xuan was not worried about the Green Horned Thunder Beast learning about his possession of the Tiny Universe Scroll.
After giving instructions to the White Ape and Mu Yuanping, Lu Xuan released his White Lotus incarnation and hid his main body within his personal space. Then, carrying several unique treasures, he silently departed from the Sword Sect.
Over two months later, he arrived stealthily in the outer realm of the Heavenly Demon Cave Heaven in the Demon Realm.
The Demon Realm was vast beyond measure, with countless demon domains, making it one of the largest in the multiverse.
"According to Sword Master Senior Brother, it's extremely difficult for human cultivators to enter the Demon Realm," Lu Xuan thought to himself.
"But there are ways."
"The Demon Realm is home to countless high-level demon beasts. Seventh-rank and above are common, making it a significant attraction for certain advanced cultivators."
Lu Xuan pondered silently.
For instance, Lu Xuan himself required the life essence of seventh-rank demon beasts to refine the Turtle Crane Yuan Dan and also needed some high-level demon beast materials for his cultivation of the 'Mystic Refining Treasure Scripture.'
"The more challenging it is to enter, the more people want to get in. Over time, certain factions have devised methods to smuggle cultivators into the Demon Realm."
"They might establish an independent area within a demon domain and secretly set up hidden array formations to transport cultivators into the Demon Realm."
"Or they could collaborate with a powerful demon within the Demon Realm, utilizing their unique means of entry and exit."
"Jian Hantian Senior Brother has been there twice. According to him, there are organizations in the outer realm of the Demon Realm that can safely transport people into the Demon Realm for a substantial amount of spirit stones."
Lu Xuan swiftly flew through the void, using his divine sense to search the surrounding area for several hundred li.
"I possess a Heavenly Demon Token, and entering the Heavenly Demon Realm won't be an issue. However, to avoid wasting time there, I need more information about the place."
Thus, he planned to reach out to those organizations to see if he could obtain the information he desired.
"Someone's coming."
Lu Xuan retracted his divine sense, and in less than ten breaths, a black mist swiftly approached and stopped about ten li away.
"I am He Kun, affiliated with the Black Obsidian Tower. Greetings, fellow cultivator. May I ask how I should address you?"
A cold voice echoed in Lu Xuan's ears.
"I am Ling Gu, a wandering cultivator. Greetings, fellow cultivator He."
Lu Xuan replied in a deep voice, knowing that the Black Obsidian Tower was the largest force responsible for escorting cultivators into the Heavenly Demon Realm.
When traveling, one often had to create their own identity, and he did not reveal his true self, assuming the other party would do the same.
Perhaps the Black Obsidian Tower was established by that major sect!
"So, it's Fellow Cultivator Ling."
He Kun's figure emerged from the black mist, his face deathly pale, eyes tightly shut, and holding a flying sword that exuded faint white flames. A skull hung from his waist, also seemingly staring at Lu Xuan.
"Fellow Cultivator Ling, are you thinking of entering the Heavenly Demon Realm? If so, the Black Obsidian Tower can take care of it."
"I do have that intention, but I have some questions for Fellow Cultivator He."
Lu Xuan said slowly.
"Fellow Cultivator Ling, please ask. I will answer to the best of my knowledge."
"How safe is it for the Black Obsidian Tower to escort cultivators into the Heavenly Demon Realm?"
"You don't need to worry about that, Fellow Cultivator Ling. The Black Obsidian Tower has an excellent reputation, and there hasn't been a single failed case."
"However, once inside the Heavenly Demon Realm, the life and death of the cultivators are no longer the concern of the Black Obsidian Tower."
Lu Xuan nodded, indicating his understanding: they were only responsible for the delivery, and what happened afterward depended on the cultivator's luck.
"What about the price?"
He continued to ask.
"The price for entering a random demon domain is sixty thousand low-grade spirit stones, and for entering a designated demon domain, it's one hundred and twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones."
"Of course, we must exclude demon domains with Demon Saints. After all, the Black Obsidian Tower is just a small organization and dares not provoke the Demon Saints."
He Kun explained in detail.
"There's also an option for a round trip. When you want to leave the Heavenly Demon Realm, you can contact the Black Obsidian Tower in the designated demon domain, and we guarantee a safe exit."
"The price is discounted, requiring only two million low-grade spirit stones."
"How greedy..."
Lu Xuan's expression remained calm, but he secretly cursed in his heart.
"Delivering to a designated area costs one hundred and twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones; that's enough to buy a decent Seventh Rank Spirit Seed."
"They're monopolizing and making huge profits!"
He thought to himself, but said, "Let me consider it."
"By the way, Fellow Cultivator He, I wish to enter a designated demon domain, but I'm not familiar with the information about those domains. Do you have any relevant materials for sale?"
"Yes, we have exclusive information. Each set contains secrets about the hidden realms and Demon Kings in every demon domain. It's a bargain at only twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones per set."
A pale blue jade slip appeared in He Kun's hand.
"I'll take one."
Lu Xuan sent two thousand middle-grade spirit stones to He Kun.
After scanning it with his divine sense and confirming its authenticity, He Kun shot the pale blue jade slip towards Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan took the jade slip and, following He Kun's instructions, removed the simple restrictions. He then probed it with his divine sense.
"Fellow Cultivator Ling, which demon domain do you wish to enter?"
Soon, He Kun's cold voice reached Lu Xuan's ears.
