Chapter 586 - 585: Demon Race Geniuses (Happy New Year’s Day, Extra Release, Vote for Monthly Tickets)
The Creation Ancient Land, it is said that this secret realm has existed since ancient times, and the master who arranged it is so ancient that it’s impossible to investigate. Even the name of the secret realm remains unknown.
The only thing that is known is that the secret realm harbors many opportunities. When the Demon Race’s young talents enter the secret realm, if they are lucky enough, they can directly improve by a whole major level without any side effects, significantly reducing the time needed for cultivation.
Therefore, the Demon Territory has bestowed the name "Creation" to the secret realm.
Besides this, there are various heavenly and earthly treasures that only existed in ancient times. As ages changed and environments underwent drastic alterations, some treasures with strict requirements for their growth environment couldn’t adapt to the current world and have become extinct.
Only in ancient secret realms can one find those extinct heavenly and earthly treasures.
If it weren’t for the limitations of cultivation levels, even Demon Kings would wish to enter the secret realm to look for opportunities.
"Fairy, have you ever heard of the Creation Ancient Land?" Lu Yang asked, naturally turning to someone from ancient times for information about the ancient past.
"Listening to the description, it does fit the impression of a few secret realms in my memory, but none of them are known by the name ’Creation Ancient Land’."
"Names may differ between ancient and modern times; perhaps its name has changed."
Three pure-blooded members from the Human race quietly descended in the distance and walked towards the entrance of the secret realm.
Even before the opening time of the secret realm, various major clans from the Demon Territory had already arrived in droves. These clans’ ancestral graves had basically all been visited by the three individuals, who were very familiar with them.
If they were to take out Fairy Eternity’s cookbook, they could likely find their names in it.
Among these major clans, the Dragon and Phoenix Clans stood out the most; they are the two largest groups within the Demon Race, followed by countless other demons.
The Dragon gives birth to nine offspring, the Chao Feng Clan, Qiu Niu Clan, Ba Xia Clan, and so on, all look up to the Dragon Clan as the leader.
The genius of this generation’s Dragon Clan is named Ao Yue, who appeared at the entrance of the secret realm in human form, with dragon horns on his head, handsome features, and wearing a yellow robe woven with golden and silver threads, seamless as the garments of heaven.
Accompanied by a crisp phoenix cry, all the demons looked up, where multicolored lights shone from afar, the luminescence of various flying birds’ feathers.
The Chong Ming Bird Clan, Bifang Clan, Qing Luan Clan...
Leading the way were several colorful phoenixes.
The Phoenix Tribe is the king of birds.
As the birds landed, they transformed into human form. One was a vibrant and beautiful young girl with bright eyes, black hair, and red pupils, full of vitality, named Jiang Shishi.
Among the elders accompanying Jiang Shishi, there was one that all three people recognized, named Jiang Shan.
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had encountered Jiang Shan at the crime scene of a fake Phoenix Blood Stone. Having learned a lesson from the people of the Seek Dao Sect, he was very enthusiastic upon realizing the two were from the Seek Dao Sect.
As for the Third Senior Sister, she was the one who had taught Jiang Shan a lesson back then.
The ancestral graves of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans were also sites well-visited by the three, and could even be seen as key investigation objects for Lu Yang.
He wanted to know the whereabouts of the geniuses of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans and thought it might be possible to find some clues in their ancestral graves.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t that simple. Fairy Eternity used her spiritual awareness to scan both clans in detail, getting to grips with their foundations. She even uncovered many ancient secrets that the two clans themselves were unaware of.
Still, no clues were found.
Aside from the eye-catching Dragon and Phoenix Clans, there were many Demon Race clans with ancient grudges, confronting each other like pointed arrows.
For example, the enmity between the Tian Gou Clan and the Jade Rabbit Clan was well known throughout the Demon Territory.
The Tian Gou Clan has an ancient legend about the celestial dog eating the moon, and the Jade Rabbit Clan used to live on the moon.
It’s no wonder a grudge formed when one eats away the home of the other so casually.
"White-haired and red-footed, with an appearance like a monkey, could it be Zhuyan?"
"And that one who dresses simply, low-key and unassuming, is she the never-seen-before genius of the Qiongqi Clan?"
"I heard that he took the initiative to go to the human race’s Land Money Trade Association to learn the art of business. They didn’t pay him, and the association feared he would return to our Demon Territory to establish a competing business, taking over their turf, so they have always refused to let him in!"
"How come I heard that the Qiongqi Clan is plagued by bad luck and the Land Money Trade Association feared being affected by it, so they didn’t even dare to accept free labor?"
"That must be a rumor. The Qiongqi Clan has always had more than its fair share of negative gossip. There’s even a legend that an Ancient Immortal suggested they change their name to the Prosperous Wealth Clan or the Rich and Honorable Clan, which just sounds fake when you hear it."
"Makes sense."
"Look quick, that’s the prodigy of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan from Qingqiu, just like in the legends, every frown and smile tugging at one’s heartstrings!"
The prodigy of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was named Su Lian’er, dressed in a white robe, with nine white tails swaying behind her. She had red eye shadow in the corners of her eyes, adding an allure to her demeanor. She appeared to be around the same age as Lu Yang but already possessed the charm to captivate mortals.
Many geniuses of the Demon Race were gathered around Su Lian’er, showing infatuated expressions.
"I heard that the ancient Nine-Tailed Foxes were incredibly beautiful, with legends of ’sinking fish and falling geese, and shaming the moon and flowers.’"
"She does have a bit of her ancestors’ looks." Fairy Eternity said with a hmph.
"Is she truly so breathtaking that ’fish sink and geese fall, and even the moon hides in embarrassment’?"
"Pretty much." Fairy Eternity pouted.
"Back then, it was spring, the flowers were in full bloom, and the Nine-Tailed Foxes were competing in magic with the Heaven Dogs by the lake. The power of their magic was so great that the fish hid at the bottom of the lake out of fright, and the geese were not quick enough to flee and got caught in the attacks, burning to a crisp and falling pitter-patter to the ground."
"The Nine-Tailed Fox used the moonlight to create an illusionary realm, and the Heaven Dog nearly fell for it. In a panic, he used the Law of Heaven and Earth and swallowed the moon in one gulp."
"After their battle, the ground was in disarray, flowers withering."
Lu Yang: "..."
How come this doesn’t match the scene I had in my mind?
"After the great battle, people began to say that the Nine-Tailed Fox possessed beauty that ’made fish sink and geese fall, and shame the moon and flowers.’ I’ve always suspected that she herself started this legend."
"After all, when Yingtian Immortal organized the high-level cultivators to learn how to keep up their prestige, the Nine-Tailed Fox took it quite seriously."
Fairy Eternity had no regard for the Nine-Tailed Fox’s petty tricks.
The ancient Nine-Tailed Fox was ranked among the top ten beauties of bygone times, but in terms of looks, she still couldn’t surpass Fairy Eternity, the premier beauty of that top ten.
The top ten beauties was a list combining looks, power, and Fairy Eternity’s subjective judgment.
Fairy Eternity unarguably placed herself at the top.
As far as Lu Yang knew, Fairy Eternity ranked the Dragon and Phoenix Clans’ geniuses and her follower Qinghe second to fourth based on her closeness to them.
The little Qiongqi Jin Caiwei and the ancient Nine-Tailed Fox were also among the top ten beauties, with their ranks changing depending on Fairy Eternity’s mood.
Lu Yang thought thankfully this was a list Fairy Eternity compiled after getting to know him, bragging and boasting.
If this list had existed in ancient times, those ten individuals would probably have fought over their rankings until no one knew what might happen.
Correction, it would be nine individuals. Fairy Eternity established her supremacy through strength, so the contest for the top spot was uncontested.
"Fairy, did you also learn with Yingtian Immortal how to maintain your prestige?"
Fairy Eternity raised an eyebrow, her expression proud and confident.
"As the leader of the Five Ancient Immortals, every move I make is profound. Why would I need to learn from others?"
At that moment, the Spiritual Space turned into a tropical rainforest, and Fairy Eternity was dressed in animal skins and a grass skirt, exuding a primal wild beauty.
Looking at this scene, Lu Yang just couldn’t see the prestige in the Fairy.
