Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

Great Wei State.

Deep palace.

Ji Xian sat upright in the hall, quietly looking at the documents on the table.

The Phantom Star Demon slept on the ground bored, his white hair hanging down on his shoulders. His breathing was soft, and condensed spiritual energy kept flowing in and out of his nostrils.

"Don't you feel bored staring at these things every day?" Phantom Star Demon said in a low voice.

Ji Xian put down the scroll in his hand, endured the persistent headache, and said to the Phantom Star Demon, "If you're fine, can you please stop hanging around in front of me?"

"If I don't hang out here, where else can I go?" The Phantom Star Demon turned over and faced the roof of the hall. "I am still the commander-in-chief of the demon army. Can't I stay in your great Wei Kingdom for a while?"

"Why don't you find something to do?" Ji Xian couldn't help but frown.

"The battle in Nanzhou has already ended, what else can we do?" Phantom Star Demon sneered, "Do you still want to attack Longhua Kingdom?"

Ji Xian lowered his head and said, "Nanzhou is not stable yet, and we still need to train a new batch of demon soldiers. Now is not the best time to attack Longhua Kingdom."

"Okay, okay, you are the real commander, I will listen to you." Phantom Star Demon said boredly.

"The Turtle Shell Demon and the others have divided up the land. Don't you want to occupy a piece of land for yourself?" Ji Xian asked.

"I'm not a lowly demon that sucks human blood. What's the point of that territory? Is it just playing house?" The Phantom Star Demon said, gazing at Ji Xian. "But you, Ji Xian, have clearly inherited the legacy of the Outer Realm Demon, so why are you still trying to rule the Great Wei Kingdom like a human monarch?"

"Could it be... that you want to be the new king?"

Ji Xian rolled her eyes at him and said nothing more.

All the furnishings in the deep palace were ordered to be replaced with new ones, and even some documents of the previous dynasty were burned by her. Ji Xian erased the traces of the old King of Wei's rule bit by bit. She wanted to completely rid the Great Wei Kingdom under her nose of the old King of Wei's legacy.

"I went to the Demon Cave a while ago, but didn't see the Demon Lord. Neither have any of the other demon cultivators seen him," the Phantom Star Demon said slowly. "Do you know where the Demon Lord went?"

"I don't know," Ji Xian replied. "The Demon Lord always likes to go it alone. I've only been his attendant for a few days. How can I know what he's thinking?"

"That's quite interesting," said the Phantom Star Demon with a faint smile. "When the Demon Lord's clone saved Longhua Country from disaster, it was thanks to you that you opened the secret pattern in time. Otherwise, if the Demon Lord had blamed us, none of us would have been able to escape."

Ji Xian listened to his words and remained silent.

"Guess what else I discovered?" Phantom Star Demon said with a mysterious smile, "Youmingzi's soul lamp is half extinguished."

"what?!"

Ji Xian was shocked.

"Although I don't know what mission the Demon Lord has assigned him, I am sure that he must be in imminent danger. We don't know where he is hiding now." The Phantom Star Demon said with narrowed eyes.

Ji Xian clenched her trembling hands. She knew what You Mingzi had done. She was present when the Demon Lord gave the order, and even this mission was caused by her.

——If he’s alive, I want to see him in person; if he’s dead, I want to see his body.

"I heard that the southern expeditionary force sent by Longhua Kingdom has arrived at their southern border?" Phantom Star Demon suddenly said.

"So what?" Ji Xian frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The Phantom Star Demon slowly stood up and dusted himself off. He looked at Ji Xian with a smile and said, "Since you don't want me to stay here, then I'm going to find some fun."

"Huanxing, I'm warning you, if you dare to act rashly before the next order from the Demon Lord arrives, be careful or I will kill you without your permission." Ji Xian suddenly looked up and said to him coldly.

The Phantom Star Demon chuckled and shrugged, saying, "I'm not as brainless as Crazy Sky Hammer. I know my limits."

After the Phantom Star Demon finished speaking, he left the palace without looking back. As soon as he walked out of the door, he opened his arms, and suddenly, without wind, he moved and floated into the air.

The deep palace was exceptionally deserted. Even in summer, the wind blowing into the palace was chilling.

Ji Xian looked at the palace wall outside and felt an inexplicable loneliness in her heart.

She suddenly remembered something, put the cloth bag hidden in her arms on the table, and opened it carefully. Inside was the bag of popping candies that Lu Yuguan had given her.

"Longhua Country..."

"Xuanyu Sect..."

"Before my demon army conquers Longhua Country, you must not die..."

Just as Ji Xian was lost in thought, the voice of his subordinates suddenly came from outside the door.

"Report——"

"Master Ji, someone has discovered traces of the Barbarian Demon Clan in the outer city. Should we invite them into the palace?"

Hearing this, Ji Xian frowned.

"Mad Sky Hammer?"

"Why did he send someone here without informing me in advance?"

Ji Xian was silent for a moment before ordering, "Don't worry for now. Keep sending people to monitor the situation. If anything unusual happens, notify me."

"As ordered."

The subordinate glanced at Ji Xian and continued, "Sir, the teleportation arrays we previously sent people to investigate have reappeared near various countries in Nanzhou."

Ji Xian's eyes darkened and he said, "Continue to send people to investigate."

"Yes."

"By the way, has there been any news sent out from Longhua Kingdom recently?" Ji Xian suddenly asked.

The subordinate bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency, the last contact was two weeks ago, and there has been no further news in recent days."

"It's okay, you can go down." Ji Xian turned his back and said slowly.

"As ordered."

*

Longhua Kingdom, southern border.

Taocheng.

Lu Yuguan slowly opened his eyes. His cultivation had been improving continuously over the past two days, and there were signs that he was about to break through the Golden Core Stage.

"Tong-chan, check the properties panel——"

[Ding! Opening the panel...]

After defeating the divine pig, Lu Yuguan gained new skills, which surprised him.

[Introduction: Summons a spirit figure to attach to friendly forces, granting random positive bonus BUFFs. The number of summons and duration are related to the user's spirit power consumption.]

"Now I really become a wet nurse." Lu Yuguan said self-deprecatingly.

In addition to the new skills, Lu Yuguan also discovered that staying with the dome could actually increase the progress of the [Xuanyuan] divinity entry!

"Without Li Zhonglin's harassment, I can still increase my own strength. Where in the world can such a good thing happen?"

Lu Yuguan happily held the giant egg. Although he had not yet found a way to help Li Chonglin break out of the shell, he was still very happy.

He has been going out on the streets frequently these two days, triggering many civilized tasks.

Although they were all small things, when accumulated, they gave him a dozen extra civilization values.

"Tong-chan."

Lu Yuguan spoke slowly.

What does it mean?

"You know what I'm going to say."

【…】

"I advise you to quickly raise the winning rate," Lu Yuguan said nervously, "I'm in a good mood recently, I'm going to draw a lot of prizes!"
