Chapter 15: Demon Spirit Mountain Range, Tiandao Sect

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Yi ate some simple food and headed towards the Demon Spirit Mountain Range.

If he wanted to reach the Demon Spirit Mountain Range, he had to pass through the Demon Wolf Valley.

Originally, Su Yi wanted to collect some demon cores in the Demon Wolf Valley. In the end, after those demon wolves saw Su Yi from afar, they actually turned around and ran.

Seeing this scene, Su Yi also helplessly shook his head. He only killed a few hundred of their kind these few days. Why were they so afraid of him?

Helpless, he could only pass through the Demon Wolf Valley and enter the periphery of the Demon Spirit Mountain Range.

In the northern region of the great desolate region, the Demon Spirit Mountain Range was considered an important resource.

Therefore, the gathering of cultivators resulted in a small town here.

Seeing that it was getting late, Su Yi planned to rest in this small town for a night and then set off tomorrow.

After entering a tavern, Su Yi ordered some food. Then, he asked the waiter about the distribution of demon beasts in the demon spirit mountain range.

The waiter’s eyes immediately lit up as he started to boast, “hey, you’re asking the right person. In this Demon Spirit Mountain Range, the main demon beasts are black apes.”

“There are other demon beasts, but there aren’t many. Moreover, their strength is slightly inferior to the black apes. The strength of those demon apes are generally at the middle stage of the qi condensation realm. A small portion of them have the strength of the late stage of the qi condensation realm.”

After hearing this, Su Yi nodded thoughtfully. He took out a low-grade spirit stone and gave it to the waiter.

The waiter took the spirit stone and immediately thanked him in great joy. Then, he took out a cowhide map from his pocket and handed it to Su Yi.

“This is a rough map of the Demon Spirit Mountain Range. At least, it provides a rough layout. I’ll give this to you.”

Su Yi nodded and took the map with a smile. This map was indeed useful to him.

After sending the waiter away, Su Yi continued to drink and eat his dishes.

At this moment, the conversation of three men at the dining table not far away from him caught his attention.

“Hey, brother Li, have you heard? In three months, the Tiandao sect’s ten-year induction ceremony will begin.”

“Of course I’ve heard. I plan to go to the great desolate central plains to try my luck.”

“That’s good. I have the same plan. Why don’t the three of us go together?”

“Okay, it’s a deal then. Come, let’s drink.”

…

Hearing this, Su Yi’s expression changed.

The Tiandao sect they were talking about was the general name of the sect that existed in the secret region after the heavenly voice descended.

No one knew the true origins of these sects, and these sects did not have any management personnel. To put it bluntly, they were similar to abandoned sect ruins.

However, as long as one passed the entrance examination of these sects, one would be qualified to obtain the cultivation methods, pill refining, and weapon refining recipes. They would also be able to access the system of accepting sect missions and other things that belonged to the sect.

It could be said that it was a kind of inheritance. To cultivators without any background, it was simply extremely tempting.

However, the entrance examination was not that simple. In the hundred years of the Dao calendar, it had only been tested ten times. According to the proportion of the mortal world’s population, the passing rate was not even 1%.

However, this was definitely a major event.

After hearing this news, Su Yi confirmed his intention to make a trip to the great desolate central plains. After all, every cultivator in the Tiandao sect had to fight for it.

They did not only exist in the great desolate secret region but also existed in all secret regions at the same time.

In other words, after breaking through to the foundation establishment realm, when Su Yi entered the next secret region, he would also be able to obtain an inheritance.

Thinking of this, Su Yi thought about the situation of heading to the central plains.

The great desolate region was mainly divided into five regions, which were east, south, west, north, and central plains.

According to the map knowledge that Su Yi had learned before the activation of the immortal destiny, the journey from Shangyang City to the central plains was relatively far. One had to pass through the Demon Spirit Mountain Range and cross the chaotic cloudy creeks before reaching the city at the very edge of the central plains.

However, on this road, the demon beasts at the chaotic cloudy creek alone were all at the foundation establishment stage. If ordinary qi condensation cultivators wanted to pass through, they would need someone to lead them.

In the area of Shangyang City, the only forces that had the strength to lead people through the chaotic cloudy creek were the Hundred Herb Hall, the Seven Fiend School, and the Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

However, that cost was not something that an ordinary person could bear.

“There’s no rush. There’s still three months left. My current strength is comparable to the foundation establishment stage. I’m completely qualified to pass through the chaotic cloudy creek. It’s just a dangerous point.”

“But after three months, I might be able to crush it.”

Su Yi drank some wine and pondered for a moment. Then, he immediately made up his mind. First, he would make a trip to the demon spirit mountain range and collect the full moon grass. Then, he would refine the profound condensing pill first.

After ordering a room in a restaurant, Su Yi began to meditate and cultivate.

The next morning, Su Yi left the small town and entered the Demon Spirit Mountain Range.

As soon as he entered the periphery of the mountain range, ape roars could be heard one after another, startling the birds in the mountain stream.

Perhaps it was because Su Yi got up too early, but he did not see a single cultivator on his way here.

When he passed by a small canyon, a black ape about ten feet tall yawned and walked out from behind the pile of stones.

[Demon beast: Demon ape.]

[Bloodline: Normal.]

[Realm: Mid-stage of qi condensation.]

After seeing Su Yi, the demon ape rubbed its eyes in a human-like manner. It seemed like it thought that its eyes were playing tricks on it.

However, after confirming that it was a living person in front of it, it opened its mouth wide and revealed its sharp fangs. Its scarlet tongue licked its lips and looked at Su Yi with its mouth full of saliva.

Su Yi shrugged his shoulders in annoyance. This monster ape that was in the middle stage of the qi condensation stage seemed to be a little silly early in the morning.

Roar!!

The demon ape faced the sky and roared angrily. Its huge fist pounded at its own chest, emitting a muffled sound of ‘bang bang bang’.

Then, the demon ape moved its feet and dashed towards Su Yi.

Su Yi could clearly feel the tremors coming from the ground. However, in the face of this demon ape, he only extended a finger.

“Tiangang Sword Finger!”

As soon as he finished speaking, an inch-long invisible sword qi instantly formed at the tip of his finger.

“Go!”

Su Yi gave a light shout and lightly tapped his finger. The sword qi on the tip of his finger whistled and shot towards the demonic ape like lightning.

Roar!!

The demon ape let out an angry roar. It bent down and picked up a rock the size of a calf from the ground and smashed it towards Su Yi.

Bang!!

The huge rock was smashed into pieces by Su Yi’s sharp sword finger and fell all over the ground. However, the Tiangang sword qi also dissipated along with it.

Seeing that the demon ape was about to pounce in front of him, Su Yi flicked his five fingers continuously.

“Second move. Tiangang Six Swords!”

Six sword qi shot toward the monster ape half a meter away at lightning speed.

Feeling the terrifying pressure contained in the sword qi, the demon ape rolled on the ground and dodged the three sword Qi. Just as it was about to roll over and dodge again…

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Three muffled sounds rang out. Three thumb-sized bloody holes appeared on the demon ape’s thick body. Dark red blood spurted out from them. The demon ape let out a shrill cry and fell to the ground.

Su Yi waved his hand and a ray of light landed on the demon ape’s body.
