Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 827 - 77: Emperor Demon Pet
"Jinghua, you must not act impulsively. The Emperor Demon Clan is born in the Dan Realm, although Ying Wuwang has managed to conceal his Evil Qi and deceive City Lord Changsun, the Evil Qi he carries will accelerate the growth of the Black Vine Pearl Flower within us. I have been in the Danlu for more than ten years and have not found a cure for the Black Vine Pearl Flower. According to an ancient medicinal text, the Black Vine Pearl Flower is also known as the Emperor Demon Pet, and only a small amount is cultivated in the Imperial Palace of the Demons in the Chen Plane. It is said that the purpose of cultivating this flower is to control the restless concubines of the Emperor Demon Palace, and only the people of Emperor Demon Palace have the cure. If the Demon Flower enters the body and you disobey the Demon Lord’s orders, the flower vine will pierce through your body and kill you," Chen Jiangyin was forced to disguise himself as a woman; the Jile Crown Prince is notoriously cruel and licentious, and if he found out Chen Jiangyin was a man, he would surely have acted with lethal brutality.
The Black Vine Pearl Flower is a type of Demon Flower, the longer it resides in the body, the easier it is to form seductive energy in a person. Chen Jiangyin, already resembling a woman, became even more delicate due to the Black Vine Pearl Flower’s influence.
"Then we must force him to hand over the cure, this is not the Chen Plane where he can act with impunity," Yue Jinghua had already developed a strong desire to kill Ying Wuwang; using the Evil Flower to control people, and even using it on her, had caused "Yue Jinghua" to change from genius to waste, bearing the reputation of an ugly woman for years. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Everything must be settled with Ying Wuwang.
Although Ying Wuwang is the Crown Prince of the Demon Clan, he is deeply entrenched in the Chen Plane. According to the Heaven and Earth Laws, the Demon Clan’s powers are restricted in other planes, and Ying Wuwang is no exception. Yue Jinghua initially did not want to accompany Ying Wuwang to the ruins of the fallen but decided to go and deal with him in the Divine Ruins, seize the opportunity to get the cure before eliminating him.
"I ask you, on this journey to the Divine Ruins, will you be traveling with the Holy Beast Team?" Yue Jinghua had made up her mind, and Chen Jiangyin’s further words were useless.
"City Lord Changsun invited me to join the army as a Pill Master and to camp outside the Divine Ruins," Chen Jiangyin also told Yue Jinghua about the format of this Xuyang Trial.
This Xuyang Trial is different from previous years, adopting a real combat mode, and accumulating merit points by killing certain invading Demons, Demon Beasts, and alien races.
Invaders below Dark Earth (low to mid-level Demon Beasts) count for one merit point; invaders below Dark Heavenly (high-level Demon Beasts) including Dark Heavenly count for five points; invaders below Dan Realm (Dan Realm Demon Beasts) including Dan Realm count for ten points. If one can kill invaders above Dan Realm, even up to the Body Seizing Realm, or enemies of the Demon General level, one can earn one hundred merit points.
Additionally, since this Xuyang Trial employs individual and team formats simultaneously, combat within and between teams is not excluded, and teammates can seize each other’s Merit Rings, casualties notwithstanding.
Four teams, with hundreds of team members, will spend about four months in the Divine Ruins, and the results of the competition will be based on the total merit points accumulated by different teams and individual merit points. If the merit points are the same, the outcome will be determined by the number of team members.
Even Yue Jinghua was taken aback by such a competition format, and the members of the Four Great Teams who learned of this were even more surprised.
City Lord Changsun appears peaceful, but his methods are indeed fierce.
The Holy Beast Clan is known for its strength, and although City Lord Changsun is of Turtle Clan origin, he still has the belligerent and fierce side of a Holy Beast flowing in his veins.
The appearance of the Demon Army further convinced him to subject this new batch of genius youths on the continent to hellish training. Four months later, those who emerge from the Divine Ruins will be transformed and become true continental powerhouses.
Casualties notwithstanding implies that one may use any means necessary to seize the Merit Rings from other teams and teammates.
Despite the brutal nature of this Xuyang Trial, the rewards for the winners are unprecedented.
The top three in this Xuyang Trial will receive permanent residency rights in Yue District of Four Symbols City, a set of inherited Dark Techniques from the Four Great Holy Beasts, and a piece of Divine Artifact Level Armor from the Four Symbols City Treasure Vault.
As for the winning team, they will receive permanent residency rights in Four Symbols City, one opportunity to be recommended to the Dimension Army, and a high-level customized weapon from the Star Sparrow Pavilion in Four Symbols City’s public area.
"Hmm? These rewards are truly enticing," Yue Jinghua could foresee that upon learning the reward mechanism, the members of the Four Great Teams were already eager to move.
After residing in Four Symbols City for a while, most people presumably have felt that the Spiritual Energy in Four Symbols City is much more abundant than outside, making it much more efficient to cultivate here.
Moreover, having permanent residency rights in Four Symbols City allows unrestricted access to Four Symbols City, enabling one to manage continental family affairs without hindering personal cultivation.
As for the Dimension Army, it is a gathering of elite experts, and it is said that the leaders of the Dimension Army are supreme powerhouses, with some even being prominent figures in the Body Seizing Realm. Entering the Dimension Army and earning merit there can provide opportunities to enter higher planes.
This is also the only legitimate way for the Dark Practitioners of the Star Plane to enter higher planes.
"It seems easy, but it’s very challenging to accomplish. People of the Four Great Teams do not know that due to the Heavenly Witch Pill, City Lord Changsun has issued mercenary tasks in different boundary cities of the Star Plane and across the entire Star Continent. Teams and powerhouses from other continents and boundary cities may appear in the inner sea of the Divine Ruins. One must evade a multitude of invading forces with unknown strength, guard against attacks from other teams and even their own, and face strong opponents from other continents. The Divine Ruins are fraught with danger at every step, and surviving the trial is already commendable," Chen Jiangyin lamented, which was why he disapproved of Yue Jinghua entering the Divine Ruins.
"If you don’t enter the tiger’s lair, how will you capture the tiger cubs? I have something else to tell you, the Four Unlikes Team, including Ying Wuwang, will also enter the Divine Ruins. You must be cautious and not let him find out about the Black Vine Pearl Flower on you. You do not possess Dark Skill, and your self-preservation ability is weak. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, do not leave City Lord Changsun’s protection circle. I have a bottle of Corrosive Corpse Water here if you encounter danger, use it to adapt to the situation," Yue Jinghua handed the Corrosive Corpse Water to Chen Jiangyin.
"Hehe, don’t underestimate me," Chen Jiangyin felt a mild warmth at Yue Jinghua’s concern, eyes flowing as he winked at Yue Jinghua with seductive beauty.
Yue Jinghua shrugged, bid farewell to Chen Jiangyin, and turned towards Bai Residence in the Sun District. This time, if she wanted to successfully kill Ying Wuwang, she needed to borrow something from Bai Sheng.
