Chapter 409: Black Demon Abyss, Bloodline
Chapter 409: Black Demon Abyss, Bloodline
The Mara Holy Tower, compared to the Floating City, is like a rural town next to a metropolis.
The spiritual energy here is even more abundant.
Mortals living in the Mara Holy Tower can have their lifespans extended by almost double.
During this period, Qi Yuan has been using celestial spiritual energy to cleanse his body, causing his skin to become even more snowy white and translucent.
Of course, this kind of white is different from Ning Tou's cold white skin; it's more like a pure and spotless white.
This made Jiang Ling Su, who was standing beside him, stare at him in awe: "I want to become a Yin God too!"
She looked at Qi Yuan, feeling both envious and ashamed at the same time.
After all, it seemed that her skin was indeed not as good as Qi Yuan's.
"Now that we're here, let's focus on cultivation," Qi Yuan patted Jiang Ling Su's hair lightly.
The three of them arrived at one of the levels of the Mara Holy Tower, known as the Ji Yu Tian.
This level is the most prosperous and bustling level in the Mara Holy Tower, and it's also the level with the most foreign cultivators.
Many Holy Lands from other higher heavens and even some from the Fifth Heaven, have their bases here.
The region where the Mara Clan resides is abundant in Myriad Light, a valuable resource that can be used to expand the Divine Realm. For Yang God Heavenly Sovereigns, it also has significant benefits, seemingly related to the reflection of the myriad worlds.
Therefore, all the major powers have established bases in the Mara Holy Clan's territory and arranged personnel to collect Myriad Light.
At this moment, strolling through Ji Yu Tian, one can occasionally see streams of radiant light flashing by, emitting powerful auras.
Within the giant city, Qi Yuan and his two companions moved calmly among the crowd.
This colossal city is the central city of Ji Yu Tian, and within it are the bases of various Holy Lands from the higher heavens.
"The Floating Pagoda Mountain is really lacking in status; they don't even have a base here," Qi Yuan sighed.
"Cough, the Floating Pagoda Mountain is only a Second Heaven Holy Land, and it's normal for them not to have a base..." Shen Wushen forced a smile, feeling a bit embarrassed.
The Floating Pagoda Mountain only has one Yang God, and that's a Heaven Position Realm cultivator. How could they possibly extend their reach to the Mara Clan?
"It seems I need to choose a stronger power to join this time," Qi Yuan thought to himself.
It's not a good idea to wander aimlessly in the Mara Holy Tower; it's easy to attract unwanted attention.
Especially since he plans to do something significant, it will undoubtedly draw the attention of some Yang Gods.
By joining a power as a Guest Scholar, he can not only avoid paying for accommodation and meals but might also catch the eye of a powerful Ultimate Principle Realm rich woman with his hard work and talent.
Moreover, having a power to back him will also provide a sense of security for his junior sister and Shen Wushen.
At this moment, Qi Yuan stood on a pavilion, gazing at a distant wall.
On the wall were numerous "recruitment advertisements," and below them were many cultivators reading them.
"Mystic Cloud Mountain is recruiting three Yin God Guest Scholars, with priority given to Great Venerables. Salary is negotiable.
Also recruiting several Purple Mansion cultivators, with a salary of one Immortal Jade every ten years."
"Taohuang Palace is recruiting Purple Mansion Venerables..."
"Black Demon Abyss..."
Qi Yuan's eyes fell on the recruitment advertisement from Taohuang Palace, but he quickly decided to stay away from that Heavenly Sovereign for now.
"In this Mara Holy Tower, there are four Holy Lands from the Sixth Heaven with bases here.
Most of the others are Holy Lands from the Fifth Heaven.
As for the Fourth Heaven and below, there are even fewer." Shen Wushen was still trying to assert his presence.
After all, he had previously looked down on Qi Yuan as if he were not a native of the Immortal World, so now he needed to show his familiarity.
He was indeed aware of the famous major powers in the Sixth Heaven.
"What do you think of the Black Demon Abyss?" Qi Yuan asked casually.
Shen Wushen's expression turned solemn, and he replied, "Each top-tier Holy Land in the Sixth Heaven has its unique strengths.
The unique strength of the Black Demon Abyss is the abundance of Ultimate Principle Realm Yang God Heavenly Sovereigns.
As for the exact number, I, as a junior, am not aware."
"Because of this, the internal affairs of the Black Demon Abyss are intricate and complex, and many factions are even hostile to each other.
But even so, the Black Demon Abyss is undoubtedly one of the top ten major powers in the Sixth Heaven."
"So many white moonlights?" Qi Yuan's eyes lit up, but he quickly calmed down.
He hadn't even met them yet, and it wouldn't be right to consider them as white moonlights, as it would make his white moonlights seem cheap.
Just then, a well-mannered cultivator approached them, his eyes carrying a hint of arrogance: "Fellow Daoist must be from a lower heaven. Becoming a Guest Scholar in the Black Demon Abyss is not that simple."
This cultivator was named Ji Bu Ping, from the Fifth Heaven. He had a sense of superiority over cultivators from lower heavens.
So, when he spoke to Qi Yuan, he deliberately emphasized the phrase "lower heaven."
"Fellow Daoist has sharp eyes. I'm from the Second Heaven, and I accidentally entered a secret realm, which led me here. I don't even have a return jade to go home, so I'm looking for a job to earn some money for the trip back," Qi Yuan replied, "I wonder what it takes to become a Guest Scholar in the Black Demon Abyss..."
He was setting up his persona—a senior elder from the Floating Pagoda Mountain.
"The Black Demon Abyss is an extremely exclusive Holy Land, placing utmost importance on bloodline." Ji Bu Ping spoke, his hair fluttering as he gestured towards a black mark beside his ear, "See that? My bloodline, even in the Sixth Heaven's Black Demon Abyss, is enough to become a... Steward. It's a pity I don't have the Heaven-Piercing Jade, or I could reach the Sixth Heaven."
Ji Bu Ping yearned to join the Black Demon Abyss in the Sixth Heaven.
In his opinion, with his bloodline, joining the Black Demon Abyss would guarantee him a life of luxury and comfort.
"I also don't have the Heaven-Piercing Jade," Qi Yuan sighed.
Just then, a playful voice suddenly rang out, "Who says he can't join the Black Demon Abyss?"
A woman in a purple robe appeared, her figure graceful and alluring, but what caught everyone's attention were the two horns on her head, resembling the horns of a demon king, seemingly unbreakable.
She gazed at Qi Yuan, her eyes flashing with sharpness.
Ji Bu Ping was surprised by the newcomer, unable to discern her identity or strength, and felt a sense of dread.
"This handsome fellow, do you have a contact jade slip?" The purple-robed woman asked, her voice light and playful.
Qi Yuan was taken aback.
Was he about to be asked for his "WeChat"?
Indeed, good looks often bring trouble.
"I rarely give my contact information to someone on the first meeting," Qi Yuan was reserved and traditionally conservative.
"Give it to me, and I'll help you become a guest scholar of the Black Demon Abyss!" The purple-robed woman's eyes sparkled with a playful smile.
Qi Yuan's nose didn't grow, indicating that the purple-robed woman was telling the truth.
"Sister Cow Horn, this is my contact information, you can just mark it as... Blood Robe!" Qi Yuan quickly changed his tone.
Ji Bu Ping, standing beside Qi Yuan, witnessed this exchange and his expression shifted, as he didn't quite believe the purple-robed woman.
After all, the Black Demon Abyss valued bloodlines above all else, and even if they were recruiting guest scholars to collect Myriad Light, they would still require a bloodline.
The purple-robed woman's eyebrows twitched slightly, "I like this title, it's catchy."
She was referring to being called Sister Cow Horn.
"Here's my token, take it to the Black Demon Abyss, and you can become a guest scholar directly," the purple-robed woman said, producing a jade token.
Ji Bu Ping's expression changed slightly as he saw the jade token, and his body stiffened.
The jade token was black, a color that represented rarity in the Black Demon Abyss, and only core members possessed black tokens.
"Thank you, Sister Cow Horn," Qi Yuan said happily.
No wonder people say that beauty alone is a disaster, but when combined with other qualities, it becomes a deadly weapon.
The purple-robed woman's gaze shifted to Jiang Ling Su, scrutinizing her, "Is this your concubine?"
Her gaze was similar to that of a TV villain flirting with the female lead, only to dismiss the male lead with disdain.
Jiang Ling Su, who was hugging Qi Yuan, felt uncomfortable under this gaze.
Especially when she heard the content of the purple-robed woman's words, she felt a mix of anger and excitement.
"Cough... No."
In a 1691 bar, a book, a pen, and a book.
"Not the best, but she has no advantages except for being my little sister."
The purple-robed woman spoke simply and directly, and also crudely.
Jiang Ling Su's face turned red instantly.
But she knew this was the Upper Realm, and she couldn't lose her temper and cause trouble for her senior brother.
I'll endure!
Endure!
"Ling Su is a good person," Qi Yuan said gently.
Hearing this, Jiang Ling Su's initial anger dissipated by more than half.
"Are you interested in becoming my concubine?" The purple-robed woman asked Qi Yuan, her words astonishing.
"Cough, sorry, I don't have that hobby," Qi Yuan politely declined.
The purple-robed woman looked at Qi Yuan with a playful smile, "Man, you'll soon know my strength and charm!"
She spoke like a typical domineering CEO.
After saying this, she turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
"Young Master, was this human cultivator special in any way?"
A voice transmission entered the purple-robed woman's ear, filled with obvious curiosity.
"He has our Black Demon Abyss bloodline, and the concentration of his bloodline is no less than mine." The purple-robed woman's eyes flashed with curiosity, and she extended her hand, revealing a mark on her fair arm, "The Demon Heaven mark is flashing, a good concubine indeed!"
"His bloodline is so noble!" The purple-robed woman's bodyguard was shocked. "Which branch of the Black Demon Abyss does he belong to?"
The Divine Bodyguard was astonished.
In the Upper Realm, the Black Demon Abyss was fanatical and obsessed with bloodlines, even to the point of being somewhat demon-crazed.
When some infants were born, if they were found to possess extremely precious bloodlines, their entire family would experience a direct class elevation.
Even more extreme, these infants, even if they were ordinary people, would receive mythical treatment within the Black Demon Abyss. Once they advanced to Yin Gods, they would be treated like Yang Gods of the Tianzun level.
This was incredibly terrifying.
Precisely because of this, the core bloodlines of the Black Demon Abyss rarely leaked outside.
A look of surprise flashed through the Purple Robe woman's eyes.
Because the Demon Heaven Mark hadn't identified the source of the handsome male cultivator's bloodline.
"Which lineage he belongs to isn't important. What matters is that I discovered him, so... he belongs to my lineage.
Tell me, how should I please him so that he's willing to become my concubine?"
"This... with the Young Master's charm and authority, winning over that person is a given.
However, should I have my subordinates investigate his identity and background?" The Divine Bodyguard asked.
"No need." The Purple Robe woman shook her head. "What a pity, I need to find the Dawn Star Jade Blood Beast. Otherwise, I'd bring him back to the Sixth Heaven right now."
The Purple Robe woman had come to the Mara Clan from the Sixth Heaven in pursuit of the Dawn Star Jade Blood Beast.
This special exotic beast would greatly aid in elevating her bloodline.
On the other side, Qi Yuan held a pitch-black jade token, a smile in his eyes: "As expected, entering the Black Demon Abyss is quite easy."
Not far away, Ji Bu Ping heard this, feeling incredibly jealous, but he didn't dare show it, after all, he would offend the bigwigs of the Black Demon Abyss.
Regarding the Black Demon Abyss, he had always yearned for and revered it. Even the rats that escaped from there were, in his eyes, superior to him.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist!" Ji Bu Ping congratulated him sourly, then left without lingering.
At that moment, Jiang Lingsu clenched her small fists, feeling extremely depressed. She sighed: "Senior Brother, you're right, I was too self-absorbed.
In this Immortal World, no second-generation cultivator would look at me, causing trouble for you.
Instead, it's you, Senior Brother, who's been noticed by a second-generation cultivator, bringing trouble to me.
Is this what it feels like to be despised and looked down upon?"
This was the first time Jiang Lingsu had received such treatment, and she couldn't help but question life.
"What's there to fear? You're not the protagonist in a TV drama, these things are rare." Qi Yuan shrugged, "Let's go to the Black Demon Abyss's base, and see what we can scrounge."
"No, this time I must cultivate diligently and strive to advance to the Yin God realm!" Jiang Lingsu gritted her teeth, then sighed in frustration, "Sigh, my talent is too poor, becoming a Yin God is so difficult."
...
With the Purple Robe woman's jade token, Qi Yuan entered the Black Demon Abyss base, becoming a guest elder with ease.
One might even say that they didn't even verify Qi Yuan's identity, which saved him the trouble of using the Great Forgetting Scripture to pass through.
Within the base, Qi Yuan also encountered Ji Bu Ping.
Ji Bu Ping felt rather embarrassed and still held some jealousy.
He was of the Fourth-Grade bloodline and had become a Mysterious-Grade guest elder.
However, due to the jade token, Qi Yuan was an Earth-Grade guest elder, one rank higher than Ji Bu Ping.
This made him somewhat uncomfortable.
Qi Yuan didn't care about any of this.
At this moment, as he looked at Jiang Lingsu, a sudden idea struck him: "Do you think I should get a temporary tattoo, pretending to have a higher-grade bloodline?"
Qi Yuan noticed that the cultivators of the Black Demon Abyss always had some sort of mark, and these marks symbolized their bloodlines.
Whenever cultivators from the Black Demon Abyss went out, the Mara Holy Tower's Mara Clan cultivators treated them like gods.
One could say that the Black Demon Abyss cultivators enjoyed a superior "foreign master" treatment within the Mara Clan.
Now, Qi Yuan was considered a half "foreign master," and if he got a temporary tattoo, wouldn't he be able to swagger around?
Due to the Taohuang Palace mark, Jiang Lingsu and Qi Yuan couldn't be too far apart, so they lived in the same Cave Mansion but slept in separate rooms.
"What kind of mark? Where should I put it?" Jiang Lingsu asked eagerly.
"How about a crescent moon? On the forehead?" Qi Yuan suggested.
"I think it'll work."
"No, my face is too pale, I can't imitate Bao Zheng." Qi Yuan shook his head, but then a curious expression appeared on his face, "However, I might not need to pretend, as there seems to be a bloodline similar to the Black Demon Abyss within my body. Where did it come from?"
Qi Yuan was curious.
Earlier, when the Purple Robe woman spoke to him, Qi Yuan knew she wasn't that shallow, merely attracted to his looks.
After all, who in the Upper Realm could be that foolish? So, he had eavesdropped on their conversation in broad daylight.
