Chapter 461: Chapter 241: The Arrival of the Demon Lair, Shu Du Falls_2

After discussing the details for a while, it took almost a quarter of an hour before everyone disbanded. The other elders summoned the Foundation Establishment Elders to discuss the selection of cultivators from the sect to form an expedition team, heading to Shu Du.

Zhuge Wu You asked Han Yi to stay behind, obviously having something else to discuss.

“Han junior brother, I know you’ve had a tough time these years.”

Zhuge Wu You’s expression was complex; he had watched Han Yi step by step from the Qi Cultivation Stage, to Foundation Establishment, to Golden Core, and now becoming a mainstay of the sect.

Han Yi shook his head.

“Compared to the other senior brothers and sisters, I am already the most relaxed one. The sect has been lenient with me, and that’s why I am who I am today.”

When he said this, he was sincere. The sect wasn’t a charity, but as far as Han Yi was concerned, he had only taken on a few missions during his Qi Cultivation Stage. Since reaching the Foundation Establishment, he had taken relatively easy tasks, such as guarding the Blood Sea with a team and being asked to sit in the Qian Du Profound Immortal Pavilion.

Aside from this, the sect did not restrict Han Yi’s actions, allowing him to freely develop.

Unlike Han Yi, other cultivators in the sect, like Lu Li and Wo Changyun from the Azure Dragon Palace, had to take turns on duty, spending a certain amount of time managing the sect. The other Foundation Establishment Elders had to complete many alchemy tasks.

After Han Yi’s promotion to the Golden Core, he became more aware of the sect’s situation and drew the conclusion that the sect did treat him with preference and favor.

“I’m glad that you can think this way.”

After saying this, Zhuge Wu You’s face turned serious.

“When you reach Shu Du, you must focus on your own safety. You cannot be distracted by taking care of other cultivators from the sect, including myself.” “You are the future and hope of the sect.”

“Remember, never reverse the importance of this and do not get the priorities wrong.”

Han Yi felt warmth in his heart upon hearing this.

Seven days later, the team set out. Everyone boarded Zhuge Wu You’s Heavenly Immortal Level Boat and headed for Shu Du.

Less than a month later, Shu Du was in sight.

However, to everyone’s astonishment, about tens of miles away from Shu Du, they could see a vast and mighty Immortal City in the distance. A third of it had been enveloped in a boundless, black demonic energy.

This vast expanse of demonic energy seemed to reach the sky, with no visible end.

The Demon Lair.

This was a completely formed Demon Lair. Within it, Heavenly Demons occupied the bodies of cultivators, transforming them into the True Body of Heavenly Demons. If they were not eradicated in time, more and more Heavenly Demon Lords would descend and lay out Heavenly Demon Arrays, expanding the Demon Lair and altering its rules. As the Demon Lair grew larger, it would expand outward, inviting even more powerful Heavenly Demons.

Eventually, they could even invite down Heavenly Demon Gods equivalent to Spirit Transformation Experts.

As everyone looked on, hundreds of Heavenly Demons happened to flee from the Demon Lair, breaching the barrier formed by the demonic energy and beginning to fight with the cultivators guarding nearby.

Furthermore, once a Heavenly Demon was killed and its True Body shattered, its essence would be revealed. If it was not immediately destroyed, it could infiltrate a cultivator’s body, seizing it and transforming it into the True Body of a Heavenly Demon.

This was the reason why Heavenly Demons were hard to kill. In a certain sense, they possessed undying bodies.

However, the Cultivation World had long since summarized a set of methods to deal with Heavenly Demons. The most commonly used were two methods. One was using thunder-attribute magic skills, thunder-attribute talismans, or thunder-attribute formations. Heavenly Demons were most afraid of thunder-attribute attacks, which could be twice as effective.

The second method was using Divine Soul secret skills or Soul Destruction talismans. These secret skills or talismans targeted the Divine Soul and were equally deadly to the essence of the Heavenly Demons.

In the Cultivation World, Demons were generally divided into two categories: Heavenly Demons and Demon Clan.

Heavenly Demons were intangible and formless, existing in the outer world and pervading all realms. They belonged to the level of Divine Souls’ power.

The Demon Clan, on the other hand, focused on their physical bodies. Their physical bodies were incredibly strong when fully cultivated, achieving immortality.

Since ancient times, the traditional view held that the Demon Clan was the descendant of Ancient Demons.

However, some ancient records claimed that the Heavenly Demons were the true descendants of Ancient Demons, while the Demon Clan was the descendants of the Ancient Gods who had gone astray. The Demon Clan should actually be called the “False Divine Clan,” as both they and the Ancient Gods were pursuing the path of immortal physical bodies.

Theories varied, but the truth could only be traced back to ancient times. Alternatively, real immortals might know the connections between them.

These Heavenly Demons here belonged to the level of Divine Souls. Using Divine Soul secret skills or soul-killing talismans could truly eradicate them.

Han Yi practiced the Ninefold Soul Tower and possessed four Divine Soul secret skills. He believed he could face Heavenly Demons without fear, and this was one of the reasons he dared to come here.

The Immortal Boat stopped.

A cultivator wearing the armor of the Daqian Demon Extermination Guard and holding a token came to greet them.

The Demon Extermination Guard and the Demon Slayer Army both belonged to the Daqian Immortal Official Department. These were two specialized departments, one focusing on exterminating demons and the other on slaying monsters. The Demon Extermination Guard was the first, and the demons they killed included both the Demon Clan and the Heavenly Demons.

Zhuge Wu You went to greet him and returned to the Immortal Boat a moment later. Then, he manipulated the Immortal Boat to enter the Shu Du Immortal Ship Channel, crossing the Ninth Immortal Ring and the Eighth Immortal Ring, arriving at the Seventh Immortal Ring. The boat slowly descended on the inner edge of the Seventh Immortal Ring.

The Demon Lair, which appeared to be connected to the sky and covered the sun outside Shu Du, was actually located in the southern region between the Sixth Immortal Ring and the Fourth Immortal Ring.
