Chapter 0924: Little Valley
Chapter 0924: Little Valley
The Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi did not think about it, but from the moment Wu Yu set his eyes upon the Double-Ended Taia Sword, he had already thought that it was suitable for Ye Xixi.
This Double-Ended Taia Sword could be separated into two and could be combined into one. When it combined into one, the sword hilts would join and the two edges could have offensive abilities.
The double-edged offensive abilities of the sword were different compared to those of the Demon Subduing Scepter, which had a crescent spear on one end and an axe on the other. One side was heavy, while the other was light. This was different from the balanced ends of the Double-Ended Taia Sword. But up to now, this was the most suitable advanced dao treasure for Ye Xixi that Wu Yu had seen.
Her previous two advanced dao treasures, the Enchanted Wind Chime and the Infernal Inferno Map, were not suitable for her current use. Now her physical strength and Violet Kingdom Primordial Energy were both increasing exponentially. The Ten Wheels Bodhisattva Ghostly Immortal Mantra and Hell Incarnation Avatar had changed her and made her more suitable for close combat type weapons. Hence, Wu Yu had suggested giving her the Double-Ended Taia Sword now.
This was his own suggestion so he naturally had no objections. And the Full Moon of Nanshan... he had contributed a lot to the battle. However, he was not interested in these dao treasures. Furthermore, he was modestly declining it for Ye Xixi's benefit. Thirdly, Wu Yu had given him all the other treasures of the Old Yin Yang Demon. Hence, he did not have any objections.
Besides, he knew that everyone had a long path to take together.
"Take it." Wu Yu saw that she was a little embarrassed and directly pushed it into her hand. He said, "Our trip to the Nanyin Demon Continent will probably be filled with many unknown challenges. You don't have the immortal's mystiques at the moment. It is more helpful for us if you can control an advanced dao treasure first."
Wu Yu could escape alone at any time and the Full Moon of Nanshan had his invisibility mystique, while she lacked the ability to escape and protect herself. Wu Yu was worried that he could cost her her life by bringing her here.
"Okay, then thank you, both my brothers!" Ye Xixi was extremely happy. At this moment, she could not even be bothered with Lazy and held the Double-Ended Taia Sword tightly with both hands. Lazy landed on the deck of the Hidden Immortal and was a little unhappy. It glared at Ye Xixi and then climbed onto somewhere high on the Hidden Immortal to continue snoring.
She naturally wanted to form a blood bond with this advanced dao treasure, so she immediately returned to her room.
Wu Yu and the Full Moon of Nanshan exchanged a smile. The Full Moon of Nanshan said, "With this little sister here, it'll be less awkward than with just the two of us."
Indeed, it would be quite awkward if it were just the two of them in the team....
He started to sail and continued towards the Nanyin Demon Continent. The Old Yin Yang Demon was only an interlude. Wu Yu's current goal was still to reach the Nanyin Demon Continent as soon as possible.
"If you had not harbored any improper desires about me, then it wouldn't have been so awkward," Wu Yu said and gave him a side glance.
"Dream on!" The Full Moon of Nanshan did not expect to be teased.
"Looks like the nearer you get to the Nanyin Demon Continent, the better your mood." The Full Moon of Nanshan smiled ambiguously.
That was not the case. Wu Yu simply thought that it was great to have companions on this road of martial cultivation. This time, if not for their cooperation in the battle, he could not have defeated the Old Yin Yang Demon alone.
While the Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi were weaker than him in offensive power, they had many unique moves that could help him. For instance, the Green Frenzy from the Flowered Branch of Reincarnation had given Wu Yu a deep impression.
The Hidden Immortal sailed again and continued to be concealed. The Nanyin Demon Continent was in front of them, and they were nearing it.
On the way, Wu Yu used his Eyes of Fire and Gold and saw many demons hidden deep in the sea. It was just that these demons did not spot him. On the way, he widened his horizons. There were simply too many demons in the sea region. The key part was the great variety of sea region demons. Many demons were turned from living things that he had not seen before.
It was said that there were more demons deep in the sea beyond the Nanyin Demon Continent.
Some places where the demons gathered, for instance, the Perennial Sea and Dead Souls Sea Region, had trillions of sea region demons! The sea was vast and endless.
A few days later, standing at the bow of the boat, Wu Yu could see that a vast continent had appeared. The closer they got, the more it looked like the Yan Huang Ancient Region.
"I heard that the biggest island is not even half the size of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent. It's called the Nanyin Demon Island. But it actually looks so big, like a continent." The Full Moon of Nanshan also saw it.
Demons had demonic auras, and from afar, Wu Yu could see that the Nanyin Demon Continent was practically flourishing in demonic aura. It was thick and widespread. It rushed towards them before they even neared it. It was all demonic aura and carried a foul stench with it. It was uncomfortable for people.
It was unknown how many demons were on the land.
"Let's go to the south side before disembarking."
"Okay."
Actually, they had already agreed beforehand.
This was the north side of the Nanyin Demon Continent, and the Phoenix's Perch was on the south side. If they disembarked here, then they would have to pass through the entire Nanyin Demon Continent. There would be too many demons on the way. Naturally, it was faster to sail to the south side of the Nanyin Demon Continent and directly disembark there.
Then the Hidden Immortal started to sail around the Nanyin Demon Continent.
This way, the range of the Nanyin Demon Continent would be clearer to them. While they did not enter directly, Wu Yu could vaguely see tall mountains and forests from the outside. Within the mountain valleys and rivers, there were countless demons. They were different from sea region demons. These were basically land demons that Wu Yu could identify.
During this period of time, Ye Xixi had already formed a blood bond with the advanced dao treasure and was now studying its spirit designs. She had witnessed the Old Yin Yang Demon using the Offensive Spirit Designs and personally endured their power. This was helpful for her in familiarizing herself with the hundreds of thousands of spirit designs inside.
They spent a few days sailing to the south side! Along the way, Wu Yu was also studying the map that they had prepared before setting off. When the Hidden Immortal had approximately reached their destination, they were prepared to put the Hidden Immortal away and directly enter the Nanyin Demon Continent.
They would no longer need to use the much concealed Hidden Immortal on the Nanyin Demon Continent. This was because as long as they did not venture into a demon's territory on the Nanyin Demon Continent, not all the demons they encountered would attack them. After all, there were many martial cultivators here too. Of course, this was also because there were some places in the Nanyin Demon Continent that had spirit designs set up by demons. In the Hidden Immortal, Wu Yu would have to see through these spirit design traps and might be slower. On land, it would be much more convenient and flexible if they advanced directly. After all, if they entered from this side, the Phoenix's Perch was not too far away.
Hence, the three of them silently disembarked onto the Nanyin Demon Continent. The Nanyin Demon Continent possessed a complex terrain. There were tall mountains and forests everywhere. It was like a primitive wilderness. Demons were not adept at using spirit designs to build cities and palaces. Hence, many lived in immortal treasures and dao treasures. For instance, warships that they bought from martial cultivators or snatched from others.
Hence, the Nanyin Demon Continent was just a primitive wilderness. It was deserted mountains and tall, ancient trees. Demonic aura covered everything. Dark clouds covered the sky, hence the visibility was very bad.
While it looked abandoned, there were actually many demons hidden in the tall mountains, the wild, the swamps, the lakes, and the rivers. Most of them were young demons of the Jindan Dao or Violet Kingdom Realms. Those who had reached the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm were considered adult demons. Of course, to Wu Yu and his group, those that truly formed a threat were those old demons at the Dao Querying Realm. As for those demon kings and Demon lords, they were the rulers of the Nanyin Demon Continent. For instance, the Black Hornet Demon King was exceptionally strong, probably at about Qu Yin's level.
After they disembarked, Wu Yu started to walk in the primitive forest. He had the Eyes of Fire and Gold, and many demons could not escape his eyes. As long as they did not meet any old demons, they would not need to give way. The Full Moon of Nanshan was a demon at the Primordial Spirit Transformation Realm. After receiving his immortal's legacy, he was quite outstanding in terms of demonic aura. When he passed by, those young and adult demons along the way were basically intimidated to the point that they even peed in fright! They dared not approach them.
On the way, there was a young Jindan Dao Realm demon. It was a three-zhang-tall black bear. When he saw the Full Moon of Nanshan, he was so scared that he wet himself, whimpered, and crawled away.
"While there are many demons here, they are not as concentrated as those in the sea region. They seem to gather in millions. Comparatively, sea region demons are scarier," Ye Xixi said.
Wu Yu said, "Indeed. I heard that once a demon lord from the sea region initiates an attack, they can gather billions of demons. They are so densely packed, and you can't see the end with one look. "
"Billions...." That was indeed terrifying.
But most sea region demons were at lower cultivation levels. At least 90% of the billions would be cannon fodder. But it would still be quite scary for so much cannon fodder to attack at the same time.
"Where are we going now?"
"To a place called Little Valley. It is near the region the Black Hornet Demon King controls. We have spent a lot of time on the way. Upon arriving, we should go there to find out the latest situation and see if there is any updated news."
"Little Valley? Why can we find news at this place?" Ye Xixi did not know much.
Wu Yu explained patiently, "That place is similar to the cities of martial cultivators. At that place, the demons trade and rest. There are many martial cultivators with shops set up there to trade with demons. It is considered one of the safer places in the Nanyin Demon Continent. Most demons will follow the rules and will not cause trouble there. But there are no military armies like those in immortal kingdoms to suppress disorder there. Hence, it is actually quite chaotic and there will actually be fights, assassinations, and robbery."
There were many demons who did not play by the rules.
There were also those who robbed openly in Little Valley just because they were strong. Some similar territories were directly opened by important beings, and those would be safer. Little Valley was said to be looked after by the Black Hornet Demon King.
"The martial cultivators who dare to open shops here should have strong backgrounds," the Full Moon of Nanshan said.
"That's true. They basically have some power. Perhaps they might be wealthy. Or they have the protection of the Black Hornet Demon King."
Wu Yu now had to go deep into the tiger's lair to find her.
