Chapter 1234: Chapter 527: The Coveting of the Minor Success Celestial Demon (2)

Under these circumstances, how could that Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, that Little Immortal Realm down below, possibly produce an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact?

Unless, in that Little Immortal Realm Golden Dragon Immortal Realm below, there had appeared a Primordial Artifact Master whose comprehension could rival that of Soul Shattering Da Cheng Celestial Monarch! But our Holy Sanctuary is vast and boundless, and the Little Worlds under our control number as many as thirty quadrillion; the Holy Race Cultivators are beyond counting, yet even so, among all of them, only two Primordial Artifact Masters have appeared, and one of those has already become the first Saint Monarch of our Holy Race—Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch!"

Cyan Wood Celestial Demon looked somewhat helplessly at the seven Celestial Demons around it, all with doubtful faces, then felt inside its robe; an Immortal Artifact flickering with Spiritual Light had already appeared in its palm. It was precisely that Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact which Lin Xuankong had gifted to Jade Bright Celestial Buddha back then, which had undergone Celestial Tribulation tempering and become even stronger.

Cyan Wood Celestial Demon carefully stroked that Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact, raised its brows, and said:

"How could I possibly be bullshitting you seven about something like this! This Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact that has already endured Celestial Tribulation tempering and gained a trace of Celestial Monarch’s Power—although it’s not on the level of any Primordial Artifact—is still an extremely precious and rare Treasure! It’s a pity it’s not a Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifact; otherwise, once I got my hands on it and asked Senior Soul Shattering to refine it into a Primordial Artifact, then I, Qingmu, would have two true First-Grade Primordial Artifacts in my possession!"

Speaking of this, its gaze turned toward the southwest, and it continued:

"There’s another rather regrettable point. That Celestial Buddha named Yu Ming—who knows what kind of fortuitous encounter she obtained in the Little Immortal Realm Golden Dragon Immortal Realm below—her Divine Soul already completely fused with her Celestial Buddha body after undergoing Celestial Tribulation, and her Realm is quite high. Even though I’ve driven the Life-lock Chain to torture her for so many days, I have still never managed to shatter her Divine Soul, never pried any information about the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm from her mouth, let alone found out how this Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact of hers came to be!

However, coincidentally, His Highness Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch mentioned the matter of the eight Little Worlds today,

according to my deductions,

within the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, that trace of Saint Monarch’s Power that His Highness Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch sent over through the Red Water Passage was affected. It is highly likely that it is related to this Jade Bright Celestial Buddha, and this Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact is even more likely to be closely tied to the upheaval in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm!"

The other seven Minor Success Celestial Demons all nodded at these words.

Among them, Nine Spirits Celestial Demon spoke up: "Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifacts... Since in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm there is a junior of our Holy Race who received a trace of Celestial Monarch’s Power from His Highness Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch, that junior’s strength should be enough to contend with all Human Race Cultivators, Demon Race Demon Kings, and Buddhist Bodhisattvas holding Fourth and Fifth Grades, Sixth Grade, and even Seventh-Grade Immortal Artifacts. But if a few Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifacts have appeared in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, then it’s possible that junior of our Holy Race will suffer losses, and be unable to promptly help some Holy Race juniors obtain enough resources to ascend to the Supreme Origin Realm!

Still, this mission was personally laid down by His Highness Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch; we eight must investigate carefully, confirm without a doubt, then, after thoroughly seizing the vile troublemakers, consider our next move. We must never report information based solely on conjecture, otherwise the tempers of Saints Ri and Yue are nothing like the amiable His Highness Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch. If any mistake appears in our deductions, the tens of millions of years of Cultivation we eight have put in might very well go up in smoke!"

Hearing Nine Spirits Celestial Demon say this, the other seven Minor Success Celestial Demons all changed expressions and fell silent. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Very clearly, in the eyes of these eight extremely powerful Minor Success Celestial Demons—who didn’t even put a powerhouse like Jade Bright Celestial Buddha in their eyes—the terror of those two Saints called Ri and Yue was even more frightening than that of the Primordial Artifact Master known as Soul Shattering Celestial Monarch!

The Primordial Artifact Master called Soul Shattering Celestial Monarch was himself a terrifying Celestial Demon of the Great Success Realm and also possessed the extremely formidable methods of Artifact Refining Primordial Artifacts spoken of by these eight Minor Success Celestial Demons, yet even so, he still could not compare to the renown of these two Saints called Ri and Yue. It could be imagined that, not to mention Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch, that top Celestial Demon of the Demon Race—even just these two Saints named Ri and Yue were already dread beings many times stronger than Great Success Realm Celestial Demons!!

After these eight Minor Success Celestial Demons had remained silent for a while, they had already traveled an unknown distance. After about six or seven Hours, in front of the eight Minor Success Celestial Demons, whose Escape Speed was incomparably swift, a huge city gradually appeared!

This city was divided into twelve sections, and each section covered an extremely vast area.

Although each section, taken alone, was not as large as that enormous Five-Clawed Golden Dragon which Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch used as his cave-dwelling, they were uniquely grand and exquisitely constructed, making the whole place look like a legendary Immortal Realm. Above each section of the city, large numbers of Celestial Demons of wildly differing Equal Tiers were constantly flying in and out.

Nine Spirits Celestial Demon gazed at the distant city and said: "Everyone, this mission was personally laid down by His Highness Thousand Illusion Saint Monarch and absolutely cannot fail. We eight will split up here and each guard one exit of the Red Water Passage. We must not let a single Cultivator who Ascends to the Upper Realm slip by. No matter whether the Cultivator ascending to the Supreme Origin Realm is one of the so-called Strongest Immortal Lords of the Human Race’s Immortal Realm below, or a Top Demon King of the Demon Race, or a Great Accomplishment Bodhisattva of the Buddhist Sect, even if they are juniors of our own Holy Race ascending, every single one must be captured. We’ll search their souls and tear their spirits one by one; we’d rather wrongly kill countless than fail to uncover the truth!

We are already close to the Red Water Passage, so we’ll part ways here. Once something happens at any of the passage exits, we’ll contact each other through the Nine Gates Celestial Eye!"

The other seven Minor Success Celestial Demons, all incomparably powerful, nodded one after another, then each took a step and headed toward different sections of that huge city.

Among them, the Cyan Wood Celestial Demon who had already captured Jade Bright Celestial Buddha gripped the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact in its hand, a flame flickering in its eyes.

Three breaths later,

from the section of the city toward which Cyan Wood Celestial Demon was walking, no fewer than several thousand Celestial Demons suddenly flew out.

All these Celestial Demons, just like Cyan Wood Celestial Demon, strode forward rapidly. Though their strengths varied, even the weakest among them emanated waves of power that surpassed by far that Jade Bright Celestial Buddha who had most recently ascended from the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm. Clearly, they were all ’old Celestial Demons’ who had ascended to the Supreme Origin Realm many years ago!

These several thousand Celestial Demons hurried forward; when they were a few thousand steps away from Cyan Wood Celestial Demon, they all halted, forming two perfectly neat rows and dropping to one knee.

Among them, twelve Celestial Demons whose auras were the strongest strode quickly up to Cyan Wood Celestial Demon and said in unison:

"We subordinates greet Cyan Wood Celestial Monarch with utmost respect!"

Cyan Wood Celestial Demon nodded slightly, looked over the twelve Celestial Demons, and finally fixed its gaze on the female Celestial Demon whose aura was the strongest, with an enchanting face and voluptuous figure. It said, "Hongyu, immediately pass down my order: increase the manpower at Passage Three, and keep watch day and night without rest! Once any Cultivator Ascends to the Upper Realm, whether they are of the Human Race, Demon Race, Buddhist Sect, or our Holy Race, they are to be taken down on the spot! In addition, bring that prisoner named Yu Ming to my cave-dwelling. In the days to come, I will definitely crush her Divine Soul and make her clearly and thoroughly explain every single thing that happened in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm to me!"

Red Jade Celestial Demon cupped her hands in acknowledgement at these words, then turned into a streak of flowing light and shot away.

Cyan Wood Celestial Demon, meanwhile, tightened its grip on the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact in its hand. Under its extreme strength, that extremely powerful Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact actually let out one mournful cry after another, sounding as if it were about to shatter at any moment!

This was one of the Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifacts in which Lin Xuankong took the greatest pride, second only to the growth-type Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifact refined by the Artifact Refining Genius Miss Xiao. Such a powerful Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact had even gone through the tempering of Celestial Tribulation; one could imagine how firm it had become. At the very least, in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, there was virtually no Power capable of destroying an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact! Yet this extraordinarily sturdy Immortal Artifact, in Cyan Wood Celestial Demon’s hand, was like a clay sculpture—if it exerted just a bit more force, it seemed it would directly shatter...
