Chapter 631: Chapter 316: Spirit Demon-Slaying City_2

“Thank you for the reminder,” Lin Yi said, bowing with a fist, and without presenting Elder Peng’s token, he then ascended the city walls.

If the Demon Tribe had not been attacking, it would have been feasible, but now with the Demon Tribe’s assault underway, it was somewhat frivolous for a Cultivator of Huashen like himself to mount the walls using Elder Peng’s name amidst the war.

As he turned to leave, an immense presence descended from the sky and blocked his path. It was a black-armored cultivator in Fusion Realm who said indifferently, “I heard that in Qinglian Spirit City, there is an enchanting female Huashen cultivator who resolved the Monster Beast crisis, and also, today, produced Elder Peng Tianwu’s token to access the Teleportation Array to Spirit Demon-Slaying City. That must be you.”

Lin Yi nodded and responded with a slight bow, “Indeed, Elder Peng granted me the token to go to Tai Xuan Dao Palace for the trial.”

This Fusion Realm cultivator had a scholarly appearance, a stark contrast to Elder Peng’s rugged look.

“Oh, I heard you’re also an Ascender. What then is your purpose here?” the black-armored cultivator asked further.

“I want to see the enemy faced by the main city, and also, I need to inquire about something,” Lin Yi replied honestly without concealment.

The black-armored cultivator nodded slightly, “It seems Elder Peng Tianwu did not give his token to the wrong person. While many Ascenders avoid involvement, you actually want to observe. Tell me, what is it you want to inquire about?”

Lin Yi immediately asked, “I had some Spiritual Pets in the Lower Realm. I wonder if these Spiritual Pets, after undergoing their Transformation Tribulation and ascending, would they arrive in the territory of the Demon Tribe?”

The black-armored cultivator replied with a cold expression, “I can tell you the exact answer, yes. Monster Beasts, Spirit Beasts from the Lower Realm, all ascend to the Demon Tribe’s domain. However, Monster Beasts from the Lower Realm that reach the realm of Transformation are few and far between, not as numerous as Ascenders.”

“Thus, every Monster Beast capable of ascending is precious. Therefore, they are not sent to the battlefield. Especially the Spiritual Pets of some Ascenders, they are considered valuable leverage against the Human race, used to threaten the defenders of the city during critical moments.”

“Of course, there are also some powerful individuals among the Human race who enter the Demon Tribe territory alone to reclaim their Spiritual Pets.”

“Thank you, senior, for clarifying my doubt. With the battle imminent, I won’t disturb you any longer, I take my leave,” Lin Yi said, bowing with a fist. This ascension mechanism was truly sickening, having Spiritual Pets, connected by blood to Human cultivators in the Lower Realm, ascend to the territory of the Demon Tribe—Humanity’s enemy.

However, for Monster Beasts to reach the realm of Transformation and ascend to the higher realm was much more difficult than for Humans, not just a matter of wisdom and resources, but also facing the ascension tribulation.

Just like White Painting, which entered the Dan God Secret Realm for Cultivation and yet failed the Transformation Tribulation twice. If it failed a third time, it would perish along with its cultivation path.

With his help, White Painting awakened a trace of the Jiao Dragon Bloodline, which enabled it to successfully overcome its Transformation Tribulation, illustrating the difficulty of crossing tribulation.

If a Spiritual Pet could successfully cross tribulation, then the cultivator who was the pet’s master must be an extraordinary person. No wonder they were treated like treasures by the Demon Tribe.

After arriving in the upper realms, he still had some questions. From the information he had gathered, Dan God Zhang Dao Xuan had ascended over two thousand years ago. If one considered the human lifespan, White Painting, a little snake nurtured by the Dan Immortal, could not possibly have lived for two thousand years.

Previously in the Lower Realm, he learned that higher realm Monster Beasts lived longer lives than Humans, but he hadn’t given it much thought. Now, it seemed this was indeed true.

Because the Demon Tribe practiced Body Refinement and had incredibly strong physical bodies, their life force was enhanced, making it natural for them to live longer than the Human race. If they had the same lifespan as Humans, without the intelligence of Humans, they wouldn’t be able to have an advantage in warfare.

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, the black-armored cultivator said with an indifferent expression, “Wait. Since you wish to see the enemy faced by the main city, then come with me. Let’s see if the cultivator that Elder Peng Tianwu valued would be scared stiff.”

“Then I’ll trouble you, senior,” Lin Yi replied graciously. What he saw through the Eye of Emptiness was only one facet. Perhaps standing on the city walls would grant a clearer view.

He followed behind the black-armored fusion cultivator and arrived at the central wall, where he witnessed the true beast tide, countless Monster Beasts furiously charging toward them, some clad in armor, and some primate Monster Beasts wielding shields.

In the rear, there were some Monster Beasts who had transformed into human form and were using human spell techniques for long-range attacks.

Although their power was much weaker compared to human cultivators of Divinity Transformation, they were still causing a lot of trouble.

Not only were there Monster Beasts on the ground, but the skies were also filled with Bird Demonic Beasts constantly launching attacks.

Because the Monster Beasts’ assault was so fierce and they had many tactics, some cultivators were forced to fly out of the formation to attack, in order to prevent the Monster Beasts from reaching the base of the formation. At the same time, they faced greater danger, with many cultivators being ambushed by the Monster Beasts, sustaining serious injuries, and even dying.

Seeing these scenes, Lin Yi’s expression showed deep solemnity. Compared to the monster siege on this main city, Qinglian Spirit City’s beast tide was like mere child’s play, small-fry before a titan.

From these scenes in Spirit Demon-Slaying City, one could imagine how dangerous the inhuman Demon race facing Spirit City of Demon Purging must be.

As Lin Yi watched, he also summoned his Flying Sword and launched some attacks, saving several cultivators outside of the ascension formation.

The black-armored fusion cultivator nodded approvingly, “You have a decent grasp of the art of war. It seems you’ve experienced quite a few battles in the Lower Realm. Once you’re done watching, you can leave. The mission for you ascenders is to diligently cultivate in Tai Xuan Dao Palace, and it’s not just for your own path but also for the safety and security of the Human race.”

“Thank you, senior.” Lin Yi bowed with his hands clasped and left the wall.

He wandered around the market and noticed that the Monster Beast materials were obviously more abundant than those in Qinglian Spirit City. He purchased some and then continued on his way to Tai Xuan Divine City.

The black-armored fusion cultivator had said that very few Monster Beasts ascend from the Lower Realm. If the Spirit Beasts in the Dan God Secret Realm’s Spirit Beast Dojo started ascending en masse, it would likely shock the Demon Tribe.

In the several hundred years since establishing the Spirit Beast Dojo, as some Spirit Beasts were outstanding, he had helped them awaken their Ancestral bloodline. At the very least, around a thousand of them had the potential to ascend.

However, the difficulty of using them to overturn the internal order of the Demon Tribe would be immense. According to his prediction, these Spirit Beasts from the Dojo, upon ascending, if they saw such a situation, would likely try to escape and establish their own forces.

Among them, the four Guardian Beasts from the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, as well as Big Bull, Golden Treasure, and Tiger Gate, had their rich Ancestral bloodlines awakened by him. Even in the Spirit Profound Realm, such bloodlines were extremely rare.

Especially Golden Treasure, that old mouse, who had a talent for breaking formations and the ability to cast illusions. He had helped it awaken an even stronger bloodline, not only to break through formations but also to dispel various binding spells. One of its Ancestral bloodlines allowed it to become invisible to the eye, undetected by others.

Basing on his understanding of these Spirit Beasts, they would definitely not be enemies with the Human race and would absolutely find a way to escape, hoping for their success.

Lin Yi decided that once he entered the Dao Palace, he would do everything possible to “shear wool” and rapidly enhance his strength. He would first reach the Refining Void Realm and see what the fortune of that realm truly was.

Soon, he used the teleportation array of Spirit Demon-Slaying City to reach a city within the Human domain, but he didn’t go out. Instead, he directly went to the Transmission Hall and teleported to the next city.

Before setting out today, he specially used his Predict Crisis ability but did not perceive any danger.

Teleporting between cities within the Human realm, he had Elder Peng’s Token. If he still encountered danger, it would mean the enemy was far too brazen.
