Chapter 955: Chapter 822: Ye’s Search, Demon Spirit The Other Side
The true Fox of Absolving!
The Thunder Lord of the Seven Sins Fox, a Dominator-level creature controlling the sky thunder, Chu Mu could even imagine that figure of the Fox of Absolving moving like a bolt of lightning, with its divine and majestic purple silhouette!
“The northern side of the Great Demon Lake, Demonic Realm,” Chu Mu noted down the name of this seldom visited place by humans.
There will be a day when Chu Mu steps into that demon spirit’s territory, taking Mo Ye with him to meet that Thunder Lord of the Seven Sins Fox!
“Your strength will threaten some people, so try to keep a low profile,” said Mu Qingyi.
In fact, even Mu Qingyi found hard to imagine how he had advanced to Peak Emperor in such a short time!
Having a Peak Emperor Soul Pet means truly entering the ranks of the top strong ones; if Chu Mu were to stand with the Three Great Palaces, the strong ones of the Soul Covenant would hardly let a Soul Pet Master with such potential continue to develop.
Mu Qingyi only said these few words and did not say any more, and Chu Mu knew that Mu Qingyi meant well. After thanking her, he returned to the group of gracefully dancing people.
“Your Highness, there is something strange about this Chu Fangchen,” Fang Wu said to Mu Qingyi in a low voice as she watched Chu Mu’s retreating figure.
Mu Qingyi did indeed feel that there was something extraordinary about this man, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
Between Peak Emperor and Dominator-level, there’s a vast crevice. Mu Qingyi wanted to know if this miraculously talented individual could cross that threshold. In those hundreds of billions within the Wanxiang Realm, geniuses abound. There will always be a few Soul Pet Masters like Chu Fangchen, but how many once-promising geniuses have been forever stuck at the Peak Emperor level, as those who reached Dominator-level are few and far between!
…
“Chu Mu, if you go to Wanxiang City, you should really get to know the Crown Prince. He, like you, is an aberrant Soul Pet Master, and in terms of controlling a single soul pet, you could also spar with him,” Teng Lang said to Chu Mu.
From Teng Lang’s words, it was clear he had great admiration for the Crown Prince. Chu Mu had heard about the power of Soul Hall’s Crown Prince early on and would indeed like to meet him if he had the chance.
“Yeah, if I get the chance,” Chu Mu nodded.
“Hehe, that guy, you’d better not be fooled by his appearance,” Teng Lang said with a laugh.
Chu Mu didn’t mind; as a Soul Hall Young Master, he would meet him sooner or later!
“Did the Ye Family siblings say where they were planning to go when they left here?” Chu Mu asked.
Although it was a year old, at least Chu Mu would have a direction and not take too many detours.
For some reason, after his soul awakening, Chu Mu felt an even stronger desire to see Ye Qingzi. And next, Chu Mu was planning to make no further stays and go directly east in search of Ye Qingzi.
“Ye Wansheng did mention it; they seem to be planning to go to Spirit City. That place is the headquarters of the Spirit Sect, and they should be staying there for a while,” Teng Lang said.
“Spirit City?” Chu Mu hadn’t expected there to be such a city in the Wanxiang Realm. From the name alone, it must be a gathering place for Spirit Masters!
“Yeah, by the way, Brother Chu, why are you so concerned about them, could it be that you’ve taken an interest in his younger sister?” Teng Lang raised his eyebrows, looking intrigued as he continued,
“Don’t blame me for being a downer, Brother Chu, but as far as I know, the person Ye Qingzi has her eyes on is Chu Mu. You should know about Chu Mu, right? The one who summoned the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, defeated the Half-demon Bai Yu, and saved World City with an epic feat. If he is still alive, there probably aren’t many in the world who could stand against him. That’s someone who could autonomously control a half-demon, an extremely aberrant person. Although you’re an aberrant as well, competing with him for a woman, you really need to tread carefully,” he concluded.
“…” Chu Mu was speechless. How did this even relate?
Unable to clear up the misunderstanding, Chu Mu simply didn’t bother explaining. Since Ye Qingzi was going to Spirit City, then that would be his next destination. After all, Chu Mu still had a tear crystal that belonged to her.
…
Ultimately, Mo Ling still withdrew with his army.
Snow City, after celebrating, welcomed true peace, and Chu Mu, during a few days of post-battle recuperation, received a letter from Elder Liu.
The letter expressed the old man’s joy and excitement at Chu Mu’s awakening and Elder Liu also agreed with Chu Mu’s decision to keep a low profile and not reveal his identity; it wasn’t the time to go to war with the Soul Covenant yet, and Chu Mu needed to increase the strength of all his Soul Pets.
Moreover, Elder Liu also informed Chu Mu that in the more than a year of Chu Mu’s demonization, Liu Binglan had gone alone to the Desolate Forbidden Zone, determined to search for the Heavenly Immortal Ice…
So, she still did not know that Chu Mu had traced back his own soul through Monument Tears.
Knowing this, a wave of emotion and bitterness rose in Chu Mu’s heart. She must have known that the Heavenly Immortal Ice could never revive someone who had been demonized, and her stubbornness indicated her extremely downcast spirits—downcast enough to rely on a search for the Heavenly Immortal Ice as self-deception.
Chu Mu was far from the Desolate Forbidden Zone, and he couldn’t possibly go there. Elder Liu had also indicated that she wouldn’t be in any danger. Presumably, when she returned and learned that Chu Mu had awakened, she would immediately feel better.
…
Chu Mu did not stay in Snow City for too long. After the situation in Snow City stabilized, Chu Mu bid farewell to the Soul Emperors from the Three Great Palaces, took Ning Man’er and the ten White Nightmare Demons that had achieved great merit, and headed for the distant Spirit City to the east…
During the journey, Chu Mu planned to enhance the strength of the Ghost Dome King and the Demon Tree Warrior so as not to let them fall too far behind.
“Take care, Brother Chu. One day, I believe you will definitely achieve the two ideals of a man!” At his departure, Teng Lang’s roguish voice still echoed in Chu Mu’s ears…
…
…
In the far west of Prison Island lay the endless and boundless Henghai Sea.
If the entire ocean were likened to a vast night sky, then the islands scattered irregularly across it would be like stars, too numerous to count.
Even the Nightmare Demon Island and Prison Island under the control of the Nightmare Demon Palace in the far west were just a few of the outermost islands, not even enough to account for one ten-thousandth of the entire Henghai!
The sea was calm, its deep emerald expanse blending with the densely cloudy sky at the horizon.
Upon this surface paced an elegant creature, utterly black save for a long white tail, as if walking on solid ground.
Under the symmetry of the azure sky and sea, this black figure seemed extremely small, and looking around, one could see neither island nor land.
It trotted quietly across the water like a lonely wanderer on an aimless journey…
In the vast sea, limitless and infinite, this cherished night traveler appeared to have lost its way.
For more than a year, following the guidance of Old Master Li, it had found four homes of Demon Spirits, and the wandering blood of the Demon Spirits had lifted it to the rank of a low-grade Emperor.
Yet these were not its destinations, for it knew there lay an island within this vast sea, an island like a continent, which hosted the most elusive and formidable Demon Spirits. There lay the true Demon Spirit House, the other shore of all Demon Spirits’ souls.
For this goal, it roamed countless days and nights, trotting under the veil of darkness, all to seek that dreamlike sanctuary.
At nightfall, the still ocean mirrored the clean night sky with its stars, the starscape merging with the sea, indistinguishable.
At such times, the night creature was entirely concealed between the sea and sky, save for that solitary white tail drifting forlornly through the dark…
“Hoo~~~~~~~~~~~”
Suddenly, the night creature let out an excited cry!
At the end of the star-reflecting ocean loomed a misty night fog, shrouding a sea riddled with countless reefs.
The appearance of reefs and night fog indicated the presence of islands or continents!
No matter whether this was the sanctuary it sought or not, finding this island enshrouded in night fog meant it was likely another Demon Spirit House!
The night creature began to run, skimming the sea surface, leaving behind beautiful ripples on the star-strewn canvas where sky met ocean.
…
The night creature moved through the reefs, alighting gently onto the fog-covered island.
Its black pupils surveyed the surroundings and soon noticed pairs of hostile eyes flickering in the rainforest at the edge of the island.
“Sss sss~~~~~~~~~~~~”
“Hoo hoo hoo hoo~~~~~~~~~~~”
The nocturnal calls of the Demon Spirits came forth as if to intimidate the intruder.
The night stood there, its black eyes sweeping across the slowly brightening pairs of demon gazes.
It knew, as a wandering Demon Spirit arriving at a new home, that it must endure the trial of defeating these native dwellers who were unwelcoming of outsiders!
In fact, the entire Henghai contained a vast Demon Spirit Empire, something the night knew as it had wandered through four Demon Spirit tribes and houses.
The myriad lands and mist-shrouded islands within this sea formed various tribes and groups, all governed by this Demon Spirit Empire.
However, not even the oldest of the wandering Demon Spirits knew where the empire’s “Demon Tomb” could be found. The night continued to rove, searching continuously, and also interacting with other Demon Spirits, absorbing all kinds of legends about the Empire and the Demon Tomb.
Of course, there existed a most direct way of interacting among Demon Spirits: the mighty reigned supreme!
If a wandering outsider wanted to be accommodated by the tribe of Demon Spirits, it had to prove its strength worthy of their respect.
This time, the Demon Spirit House that night had entered was far more powerful than those it had encountered before; the patrol Demon Spirits around the territory were all of Commander grade, and likely there would be Demons of Monarch grade in the heart of the island. Within the innermost part would be the birthplace of Demon Spirit Emperors!
The night needed the aura of Demon Spirits to enhance its own strength, but the houses would not lightly bestow this essence on external Demon Spirits.
Thus, stepping into a Demon Spirit House didn’t mean a place to belong for the night, but instead signified that it would face continuous challenges from the native Demon Spirits, until it earned the recognition of the tribe’s ruler!
(In the following section, the narrative of the night’s gaining strength will be fleshed out, and it will be spectacular!!)
(Today is Saturday, and two chapters are up. There will be no update tonight, as Little Fish takes a small break. There’s only one Monthly Ticket for today, yet there were 100 yesterday; surely you won’t allow for such a shocking fluctuation in numbers, right?)
(For those who love our roaming creature of the night, spare a few Monthly Tickets!!) (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian () to cast your recommendation votes and Month Votes. Your support is my biggest driving force.)
