Chapter 1212: A Minor Punishment, An Alternative Approach
Chapter 1212: A Minor Punishment, An Alternative Approach
"To be honest, Elder He, before learning the detailed information about the Heavenly Demon Realm, I was considering exploring it myself."
"But after reading the information about the Demon Domain within, that idea was completely dismissed."
"It's filled with Demon Kings everywhere, not something a small-time wandering cultivator like me can handle."
Lu Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile.
His purpose had been achieved, so naturally, he wouldn't waste more spirit stones by having Black Obsidian Tower send him in.
"Elder Ling, you're not going in?"
He Kun's face showed a fleeting look of surprise. It was rare for someone to come to the outer realm of the Heavenly Demon Realm and then back out at the last moment.
"I have no choice. With my insufficient strength, going in would only make it easier for those powerful demons to fill their bellies with me."
Lu Xuan sighed lightly, his acting skills impeccable.
"Since your mind is made up, Elder He, I won't force you."
He Kun's eyes flickered, and he didn't try to persuade Lu Xuan further.
Lu Xuan immediately rode on a sword light and quickly flew away.
"Little Lu, there's an evil entity tracking you. Do you want me to step in and help you deal with it?"
In less than half a breath, a transmission came from within the Tiny Universe Scroll, the voice belonging to the Green Horned Thunder Beast.
"This minor issue doesn't require your assistance, Senior."
Lu Xuan chuckled lightly, and the star in the depths of his spiritual sea suddenly lit up. His divine sense rapidly spread out, instantly capturing the subtle anomaly in the void.
Immediately, a faint golden divine thunder shot out, striking the source of the anomaly.
The divine thunder possessed a formidable might, as if it could purge all impurity and evil from the world.
A pair of eerie eyes with a faint glow appeared, and within their pupils seemed to be a hint of panic.
These eerie eyes flickered in and out of the void, even more mysterious and hidden than the Void Nightmare Eyes Lu Xuan had possessed before.
However, under the Celestial Thunder, all evil had nowhere to hide.
In an instant, the divine thunder struck the eerie eyes, and the thunderous light swept over them, instantly reducing the eyes to nothingness.
"Dare to track me, huh? Then let this minor punishment teach you a lesson."
He hooked his finger, and the Celestial Thunder immediately returned to his side, flexibly slithering into his spiritual sea like a tiny snake.
He no longer sought to find He Kun, as this void was filled with countless Black Obsidian Tower cultivators. If he couldn't strike down his opponent with lightning speed, it would only bring trouble upon himself. A minor lesson was sufficient.
"You've got quite a collection of items, kid."
The Green Horned Thunder Beast was surprised, impressed by Lu Xuan's thunderous abilities.
"I have no choice. As a Spirit Plant Cultivator, when exploring the outside world, I must focus on reconnaissance and escape techniques."
Lu Xuan smiled, and a blood-red token appeared in his hand. Deep within the token, blood-red light surged, seemingly containing countless shadows of ferocious beasts, making anyone who looked at it feel dizzy.
This was the key to entering the Heavenly Demon Realm—the Heavenly Demon Token.
...
In the void.
He Kun sat quietly on a massive meteorite, which was covered in concealment restrictions, blending seamlessly with the surroundings, making it extremely difficult to detect.
Suddenly, he let out a muffled hum, and two streams of dark black tears flowed from his tightly closed eyes.
"The Black Eerie Eyes have been destroyed!"
He was shocked, and quickly dropped a drop of his essence blood into the skull at his waist.
"Elder He, what happened?"
Soon, an aged voice came from within the skull.
"Elder Brother, my Black Eerie Eyes have been broken by someone. Just in case, please be prepared to support me at any time."
He Kun looked around, filled with uncertainty and suspicion, fearing that the cultivator who had just destroyed his eyes might emerge from the shadows.
"Alright, I'll be there shortly."
Upon hearing this, the aged voice became more serious and decisive.
"Tell me the details of what happened."
"Elder Brother, a wandering cultivator named Ling Gu just came by, wanting to enter the Heavenly Demon Realm..."
He Kun remained vigilant, maneuvering the giant meteorite to move swiftly while briefly explaining his encounter to his senior brother.
"That person bought a set of Heavenly Demon Realm information but suddenly changed his mind and wanted to back out."
"I didn't believe it, so I sent out the Black Shadow Pupils to follow him, but unexpectedly, not only did he sense them, but he also destroyed them in an instant."
The dark tears on He Kun's face gradually dried up.
The Black Shadow Pupils were refined from his own eyes, infused with various sinister substances, giving them an incredibly powerful concealment ability and the capability to cast formidable illusions. In the past, they had been used to track numerous Nascent Soul Realm cultivators without being discovered.
However, not only did that rogue cultivator sense them, but he also destroyed them at a speed that He Kun couldn't react to, causing He Kun to be implicated.
"When I tried to control the Black Shadow Pupils to leave, I realized it was some kind of powerful thunder technique."
He transmitted his thoughts to the skull.
"It's fortunate that he noticed the Black Shadow Pupils, indicating that he either has a powerful divine sense or possesses other secret techniques and treasures."
"But to instantly destroy the Black Shadow Pupils is no simple feat. It's likely a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator who is highly skilled in thunder techniques, possibly at the Mid-stage or higher."
The aged voice speculated.
...
"Phew... Finally, I'm in."
Lu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. The blood energy that had enveloped his body gradually dissipated, leaving behind only traces of pure demonic energy.
After activating the Heavenly Demon Order, he smoothly entered the Heavenly Demon Realm's Cave Heaven under the guidance of the blood-red token.
He released the Flower Alluring Slave, instructing it to pay close attention to the surroundings, and after scanning with his divine sense to confirm there were no anomalies, he finally relaxed.
Looking around, the area was filled with a primitive aura, and faint demonic energy permeated the air.
"First, I need to confirm my location, then choose the designated demon domain to see if I can obtain the life essence of a Seventh Rank Demon Turtle or Divine Crane."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
The jade slip that He Kun sold him contained information about some high-level demon turtles and divine cranes, saving him a lot of searching time, making it worth the price.
The next day.
"The Jade Spirit Dragon Pool isn't too far; I just need to pass through four demon domains."
Lu Xuan figured out his location and stood atop a hundred-zhang tall spirit tree, overlooking the area below.
Below, half-human, half-beast demons occasionally passed by, and the stronger their demonic energy, the more human-like their appearance and physique became.
"This is the demons' stronghold. If a commotion is caused, it could easily lead to being surrounded and besieged."
"Therefore, everything must be done in secret, and I must avoid attracting too much attention."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
"The Jade Spirit Dragon Pool is home to many Seventh Rank Dragon Turtles, said to be descendants of true dragons and mystical turtles, possessing unique bloodlines. Even an Eighth Rank existence is rumored to dwell in the deepest part of the pool."
"A direct assault is out of the question; I'll have to use cunning."
"I can capture a dragon turtle and keep it in my personal space. Whenever I need its life essence, I can extract it at any time."
Lu Xuan changed his approach, taking a different path.
Killing a Seventh Rank dragon turtle required speed and stealth, without alerting the other dragon turtles, and being cautious of any potential Eighth Rank dragon turtles.
In comparison, capturing a Seventh Rank dragon turtle was a more covert and less challenging task.
"There's no need for violence; I can be more subtle!"
"It can live comfortably in my personal space for a few hundred years, and who knows, I might even spare its life in the end."
"As for the lost life essence..."
"My Ten Thousand Wood Spring Birth Seal is more than enough to make up for it."
Lu Xuan smiled.
