Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 137, Section 136: My Butt Hurts

At the very center of the inner island is a massive mountain, around which all the buildings and training grounds of the Blood Demon Palace are arranged, much like how the outer islands surround the inner island.

This mountain is usually a restricted area. Not to mention elders, even a True Person is not allowed to come up here without the Blood Demon Lord's order.

Moreover, the interior is fraught with danger, with demonic beasts and plants whose blood energy has entered their brains everywhere. Those below the fifth realm who enter this place will most likely meet their demise.

But today is an exception.

Because of the young master's test, the restrictions on this mountain have been lifted today.

Climbing the mountain was the first part of the assessment.

The Blood Demon Lord has more than twenty offspring. Among them, there are always some with weak foundations. It would be fine if they voluntarily gave up the position of young master. But if they overestimate their abilities and climb the mountain, there are other brothers and sisters who would greet them warmly, besides the blood demons that fill the mountains.

If you're unlucky enough to die halfway up the mountain, then you're dead.

After all, it's not a problem if a person lacks ability; the problem is a fool who lacks ability but is unaware of it.

Look from a distance.

A group of people had already reached the halfway point of the mountain. They were the fastest, and the leader was a beautiful woman holding a whip.

"Young Master Ni Chang, shouldn't we speed things up?"

The town elder looked at the already gloomy sky, stretched out the mechanical arm made by Lu Ban Palace, and caught a drop of rain.

It's raining.

The blood-red raindrops pattered on the leaves of trees not far away, staining them a deep crimson.

Not only that, the rain was shockingly cold, and it carried a strange, intoxicating feeling that made one feel disoriented, almost like a demon of desire, yes, like a demon of desire that tormented the mind.

Fortunately, the rain wasn't strong enough. The town elder estimated that it would only affect cultivators below the third realm.

Xue Nishang said calmly, "It's alright, the door to the burial ground has not yet been opened."

She also frowned as she looked at the rain.

Even Xue Nishang, who had lived on Blood Demon Island since childhood, had never seen such blood rain before, and the malice in the rain made her feel quite uncomfortable.

It was as if the blood in her body was boiling, ready to burst out at any moment.

stab.

The blood whip rippled through the air before slamming down on a blood centipede in the jungle, sending flesh and blood flying.

The town elder touched his pulse, his face darkening, and said, "This matter of the Dragon Bone seems to be quite unusual. I feel as if I can sense the tremors of the meridians within the palace."

On the surface, the selection of the Dragon Bone was just a selection of a young master. Although it was somewhat important to the Blood Demon Palace, it was not enough to warrant such a big commotion.

It's not like the power struggle among the nine princes after the emperor of a mortal dynasty died.

Master Zihua smiled with narrowed eyes: "About three thousand years ago, a monster fell to this island after being seriously injured. This monster recuperated here for many years. Later, a person passed by and met the monster, who was still healing. He came up with a plan to seal the monster and use the earth's veins to extract the monster's power."

The town elder asked curiously, "How does Master Zihua know such a secret? Such a secret is unheard of. Do you know if it's true or not?"

"Of course it's fake. I'm not a member of the Blood Demon Palace, so how could I know more than you Blood Demon Palace cultivators?"

Aside from a few Yao Guangs who emerged from the chaos of war and the current sixth-realm True Persons of the Blood Demon Palace, few others know about the matter of the Blood Demon Palace suppressing the Blood Demon.

Therefore, even the town elders and Xue Nishang were unaware of this secret.

Even Lu Changyuan only learned that the other half of the Blood Demon was hidden here after the little fairy in the white dress mentioned it in the green gauze sedan chair.

Xue Ni Chang and her group increased their speed again.

The town elder couldn't help but ask, "Why doesn't Master Zihua use a paintbrush?"

The monsters blocking their way were easily dealt with by the group, but Master Zihua did not use the secret techniques of his Qingluo Painting Palace, nor did he reveal his own Dao. Instead, he ruthlessly used his palm to kill the monsters.

When did the people of Qingluo Painting Palace acquire such powerful palm techniques?

"I don't need to use my magic brush to deal with these. I should save my energy for the dragon bone transformation later."

This explanation is reasonable, and given the urgency of the situation, no one raised any objections.

soon.

The mountaintop appeared before them, and the intense heat hit their faces, causing sweat to drip down.

The largest mountain on Blood Demon Island is actually an active volcano, and they are currently in the crater, where churning lava inspires fear.

Xue Nishang suddenly smelled a bloody odor: "This is not magma, but a sea of ​​blood."

For some reason, the scalding hot blood did not evaporate, but remained as viscous as magma.

Ignoring this strange sight, Xue Nishang looked up and saw that Qingxue Zhenren was already waiting there. He nodded when he saw that Xue Nishang had successfully climbed the mountain.

Xue Nishang brandished her long whip: "Master, when will you open the burial ground?"

Master Qingxue said, "Wait another hour, until the beginning of the You hour."

That was before sunset.

But today, blood rain is falling from the sky, and dark clouds have obscured the heavens and earth, making it impossible to see the sun.

Xue Nishang had no choice but to sit cross-legged and wait.

Another hour passed.

Including Xue Nishang, a total of five descendants of the Blood Demon Lord arrived at the mountaintop to compete for the position of young master.

Qingxue Zhenren took out the young master's token of Xueyanluo.

"Then let them all go to their burial place."

Xue Nishang asked, "Where is the Demon Lord now?"

They went to great lengths to complete the trials and tried every means to find the so-called method of transforming dragon bones, all in order to make the Blood Demon Lord see them. But so far, the Blood Demon Lord has not shown himself.

Master Qingxue said calmly, "The Demon Lord will always be watching you."

The surrounding space distorted, the token grew larger in the wind, and finally slowly transformed into a door.

"The door to the burial ground is open, young masters, please come in."

As the sound faded, the entire mountain shook violently, and cracks appeared in its surface.

~~~~~~~~~~~
"My butt hurts, and my feet hurt too."

Mei Zhaozhao rubbed her pert buttocks and looked at her tender little feet that had been scraped and bruised with heartache. There were two bloody holes there, but the bleeding had stopped.

While in mid-air, several snakes also fell down and fought with Mei Zhaozhao in the air, which prevented Mei Zhaozhao from climbing back up.

"Annoying! If it weren't for those loaches, I wouldn't have fallen down."

She strained with all her might to avoid falling to the bottom in one go. Heaven knows how deep the cliff was; if she had fallen straight down, she might have been flattened.

Mei Zhaozhao got up and looked ahead.

Before me lay a pitch-black tunnel, its end unknown, and there was no light in any direction.

Only Mei Zhaozhao, with her good eyesight, was able to see it clearly.

"Where is this? I want to go home. But never mind, going home isn't a good idea either."

They even eat people in their own home.

In this vast world, Mei Zhaozhao, the dignified Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect, found herself with nowhere to go for the time being.

Well, none of that matters. Once this ordeal is over, Mei Zhaozhao will be as free as a fish soaring in the sky and as unrestrained as a bird leaping in the vast sea!
Mei Zhaozhao's plan was actually quite simple.

In the cultivation world, the best way to kill an enemy is to treat them to a meal. So what is the best way to leave a sect that kills traitors without mercy?
It was obviously a fake death.

The reason she clung to Lu Changyuan's coattails was also for this reason. She didn't really want to die. Heaven knows what kind of big commotion the Blood Demon Palace might cause. If something really happened, she would be finished.

Although it seems I've lost touch with Lu Changyuan now, and my insurance is gone. I should have known better than to wander off like that; Mei Zhaozhao blinked dejectedly.

Wow!

Something was making noise all around, like the sound of water, or some other sound, as if metal was clashing together.

Where am I?

Mei Zhaozhao then looked up, but she couldn't even see the light above her. It was hard to imagine how deep the cliff was.

It's impossible to climb up on your own.

She suddenly thought of something.

The Blood Demon Palace is located on Blood Demon Island, which is an island. She fell from a crack in the island and should have fallen into the Blood Sea. Why did she land on actual ground?

Mei Zhaozhao frowned, pondered for a long time, and finally walked forward.

I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly a red light emanated from this place.

"Mei Zhaozhao."

Mei Zhaozhao was startled.

She heard someone call her name, and if she had a tail, the fur on it would definitely stand up straight.

"Who?"

no respond.

Mei Zhaozhao had no choice but to grit her teeth and keep walking forward. At the end of the red light, she discovered that there was a wide river of lava in front of her, and the red light came from there.

The terrifyingly hot lava pooled together and eventually formed a huge lava lake, with a stone platform in the center of the lake.

Above the platform was a red figure, bound by nine chains hanging from the sky, preventing it from escaping.

"Mei Zhaozhao."

It was this red figure that was calling out to Mei Zhaozhao.

Mei Zhaozhao couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? And how do you know my name?"

The red voice became more agitated and shrill, murmuring incomprehensible sounds.

"Why should I go there?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mei Zhaozhao froze, and as if she were being controlled, she walked toward the red figure.

But before she could take two steps, she suddenly came to her senses.

The red figure paused for a moment, seemingly incredulous, then flew into a rage.

This figure is the other half of the Blood Demon, trapped here for many years. Its intuition tells it that Mei Zhaozhao can help it break the seal.

So it influenced that group of blood snakes, driving Mei Zhaozhao directly above its seal and guiding her to fall into this place. The blood snakes then sucked Mei Zhaozhao's blood, and it was able to control Mei Zhaozhao with its own power.

However, for some reason, the connection was severed. The blood in its hands and Mei Zhaozhao were no longer linked, so it could no longer control Mei Zhaozhao.

Mei Zhaozhao quickly took two steps back warily: "I can't be bothered with you."

She wasn't stupid, so she turned and ran.

Boom.

The rocks fell, completely blocking the path she had come from, and even shimmered with a blood-red glow.

The Blood Demon said in broken human language, "Open the seal for me, and I will ensure your survival in the face of the great calamity that befell humanity."

"Do you think I'd believe you?" Mei Zhaozhao snorted, then began digging into the rock with a series of loud bangs.

~~~~~~~~
"What are you thinking about?"

Lu Changyuan's voice suddenly pulled Qiu Yuehan's wandering thoughts back.

The blood rain falling from the sky was thick, sticky, and sweet, making one's skin feel cold and one's mind uneasy.

Qiu Yuehan shook her head gently, her gaze still somewhat unfocused: "I just feel like I've seen all of this somewhere before."

The oppressive grayness of the sky seemed to overflow, the volcano stood at our feet, ready to erupt at any moment, and the earth beneath our feet was cracked in several places.

This was a scene that kept recurring in her dreams. She had fought an enemy in the same scene before, but she couldn't remember the enemy's identity.

Lu Changyuan said, "Follow me."

"Ok?"

"Why aren't you leaving?" Lu Changyuan turned around and looked at him.

The fairy in the black dress remained silent for a moment, then stretched out a fair hand, her fingertips appearing even whiter against the blood-red rain. She smiled at Lu Changyuan and said, "I seem to have remembered something, and it's not convenient for me to move around. My vision is a little blurry, and I can't see the road clearly."

Fragmented memories surged like a tide, and chaotic images rapidly flashed before her eyes.

Helpless, Lu Changyuan could only reach out and grasp that slightly cool, soft hand: "I'm afraid you'll get lost."

The fairy gave a soft "hmm," looking incredibly obedient.

The two then went up the mountain. Lu Changyuan instinctively searched for traces of the Blood Demon's main body. However, the entire island was built on top of the Blood Demon, and a strong bloody smell permeated the area. He couldn't immediately discern the exact location of the other half of the Blood Demon's main body.

The Blood Dragon is about to be born.

understood.

[Using the Blood Demon's technique, one can enter the burial ground.]

A place for burial?

Where is that?
The kitten in his eyes finally stopped throwing a tantrum and started telling Lu Changyuan more things.

The dragon bones lie buried in the place where bones are laid to rest; half of the Blood Demon's body is attached beneath the dragon bones.

Lu Changyuan's mind raced: "Anything else?"

The dazzling golden characters that flashed before my eyes remained unchanged, silent as ever.

She's throwing a tantrum again.

Lu Changyuan had no choice but to close his eyes and search for that connection. The drizzling blood rain seemed to become Lu Changyuan's eyes. Having swallowed half of the Blood Demon, he had unimaginable advantages in this place.

"found it."

He drew his sword, and with a single stroke, forcefully cleaved open a rift in space.

The blood rain from the sky seemed to be drawn in, gushing into the cracks, and a portal built of blood slowly took shape before the two of them.

The Young Master's Token was originally a key condensed by the Blood Demon Lord using the Blood Demon's method, so Lu Changyuan could naturally replicate one. Moreover, because he had devoured half a Blood Demon, he didn't even need to follow the rules and open the entrance at the mountaintop.

Lu Changyuan led Qiu Yuehan stepping into the doorway.

A strong stench of decay and blood assaulted the senses. Countless skeletons floated on the sea of ​​blood. These skeletons did not belong to any one race. Lu Changyuan saw human bones, snake bones, and all sorts of strange bones.

The "Five Desires and Six Dusts Transformation Mind Technique" spun wildly, greedily absorbing the Daoist essence of the Blood Demon in the air.

"The Blood Demon Lord feeds the Blood Demon with the blood of living beings, and then extracts the Blood Demon's Dao to nourish the Blood Demon Palace."

Lu Changyuan quickly guessed what the Blood Demon Lord had done and couldn't help but click his tongue in astonishment.

This person is truly ruthless, actually turning the Blood Demon into a transit point, relentlessly squeezing out the Blood Demon's power.

"This is a lunatic."

With nowhere to land, Lu Changyuan could only carry Qiu Yuehan and step onto a skeleton, drifting along the river of blood.
