Chapter 1006: The God of East Cang

Celestial Demon Realm, Kuyun Mountain.

This place lies in the southeast of the Celestial Demon Realm, and Kuyun Mountain is no ordinary region even within the southeastern territories.

It is an extraordinarily steep and treacherous mountain range, and also the domain of the Poison Attribute powers of the Demon Race.

Within this range are gathered myriad highly poisonous branches of the Demon Race, among which are many famous venomous Exotic Beasts of the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, such as the Taiyin Celestial Centipede, Iron Wire Golden Centipede, Jade Toad, Three-tailed Scorpion, and so on.

Among them are also those like the Profound Ice Celestial Silkworm that Zhang Jian once captured.

When Poison Attribute branches of the Demon Race from the Mortal Realm ascend to the Celestial Realm, quite a few choose to ascend to this place.

At this moment, over the great river, a sky-piercing snow-white Unihorned Flood Dragon wore a somewhat dazed expression; right now its face looked rather strange.

“I, this God, am a peerless genius of the Dragon Race, I should be ascending to the Eight Desolates Dragon Realm, how did I ascend to this place? This is impossible, the Ascension Talisman Decrees of the Eight Desolates Dragon Realm can’t be fake. The Jade Dragon Lord, a dignified Taiyi Celestial Immortal Level Dragon God, personally promised it. How could that possibly be false?”

“Isn’t the Eight Desolates Dragon Realm centered on the Divine Dao? Why is there Demon Qi everywhere…”

It coiled its body and looked around in all directions, its expression full of shock.

Meanwhile, in the depths of the river below, as though it had sensed the Exotic Beast divine aura emanating from the snow-white Flood Dragon, the waters suddenly roiled and boiled.

Countless strands of terrifying Demon Qi surged out from within, carrying a vast and majestic tide of energy. That circulating, boundless momentum surpassed Celestial Immortal, surpassed Taiyi, and reached all the way to the Taiyi True Number.

In an instant, a terrifying giant black serpent burst forth from the spray, soaring up and lunging to devour the snow-white Flood Dragon hanging in midair.

The chilling Demon Qi it exuded was bone-piercingly cold, and the snow-white Flood Dragon’s Dragon Gaze widened in an instant.

Under the impact of that dreadful, vast Demon Qi, it even felt that its Flood Dragon Body at the peak of the Celestial Immortal was completely rigid in that moment, as though suffering absolute suppression from a higher existence, unable to move at all.

The snow-white Flood Dragon could not help howling in its heart at this moment.

“It’s over, this God actually ascended right into the maw of an old demon at the Taiyi True Number Level. Such ecstatic joy and crushing despair came far too fast…”

Just then, a purple-robed figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in the void. That figure seemed to leisurely straighten his robes, then looked over with a faint gaze, and the Black Water Profound Snake that had just leapt skyward abruptly froze, its massive demon body instantly arrested in mid-motion before a single palm.

In the next moment, with a wave of that figure’s hand, the Black Water Profound Snake at the Taiyi True Number Level shot down like a cannonball, crashing into the Jade River Water, and was immediately and completely suppressed by a shaft of golden light that fell right after.

Such ease and effortlessness left the Unihorned Flood Dragon utterly dumbfounded.

But in the blink of an eye it glanced up again at the slowly dispersing Gate of Many Demons overhead, and a thoughtful look surfaced in its eyes.

It had just noticed that this figure also seemed to have dropped out from the Gate of Many Demons.

Yet the two of them had not ascended from the same region, so how could they have appeared from the same Gate of Many Demons?

The snow-white Flood Dragon suddenly reacted, belatedly crying out.

“It’s because of you that this God fell into this dangerous place!”

“You little dragon are actually fairly clever. Unfortunately, it was still some distance from the place I wanted to go, and in the end there wasn’t enough time. I didn’t manage to completely revise all the coordinates inside!”

A slightly amused voice came from the void.

That figure’s gaze swept over with a smiling glint; he was, of course, Zhang Jian.

After entering the Gate of Many Demons, Zhang Jian had intended to conveniently tweak the ascension coordinates a bit, but unexpectedly the power of this Supreme Treasure, the Gate of Many Demons, was far greater than he had imagined.

In its core depths, there was even a terrifying will.

After Zhang Jian had modified a portion of the ascension coordinates, he sensed that terrifying will within faintly stirring, and could only stop. In his haste he could only choose a single direction and perform a random transmission.

“Awooo, you’re going to get this God killed! You bastard…”

The snow-white Unihorned Flood Dragon now ground its steel-like teeth to pieces, originally wanting to pounce straight at him, but recalling the terrifying battle power Zhang Jian had just displayed, it still held itself back!

For such a powerhouse to secretly slip through using the Gate of Many Demons, and even be able to tamper with the transmission coordinates of this famed inherited Supreme Treasure of the Demon Race—this spoke volumes of his dreadfulness. That was someone it absolutely could not afford to provoke.

“Mm? You have an opinion?”

Zhang Jian cast a sidelong look at the snow-white Flood Dragon that was wailing in complaint.

At his words, the snow-white Flood Dragon’s heart tightened, and its dragon face twisted into an awkward grin.

“Senior, how would this little god dare!”

Its eyes rolled, and then it shamelessly sidled up.

“Senior, since you were able to transmit this little god to this place, could you perhaps think of a way to send this little dragon to the Eight Desolates Dragon Realm? Otherwise this little dragon really can’t leave here. This place is far too terrifying…”

It cautiously swept its gaze over the various peaks surrounding Kuyun Mountain.

From deep within the mountains, strands of terrifying Demon Qi were recklessly spilling out from the primeval forests. This was clearly one of the core inner regions of Kuyun Mountain, and who knew how many fearsome demon creatures were concealed within.

It had to cling tightly to this thigh, otherwise once this person left, the many terrifying branches of the Demon Race lurking in the mountains, watching like tigers eyeing prey, would definitely pounce and devour it clean.

For the moment it paid no heed to its noble bloodline, and carefully scooted closer to Zhang Jian’s side.

Zhang Jian raised an eyebrow, glanced at the snow-white Unihorned Flood Dragon, then suddenly laughed.

“Little dragon, deep in your brow there is indeed a trace of Destiny, and your background is not bad. There’s not much blood-reek on your body either. Very well, this Monarch will give you a hand. Follow this Monarch for now!”

Zhang Jian actually felt a bit of affinity for this little dragon before him, and so did not cast it aside. With a wave of his hand, a veil of purple-yellow Immortal Light enveloped the snow-white Flood Dragon, and his figure instantly tore through the void, speeding toward the location of Cyan Dragon Valley.

Only after he had been gone for a long while did several streaks of Demon Qi finally fly out from the deep mountains around the long river, alighting upon the Coiling Dragon River below.

Several Demon Kings, each with surging Demon Qi, had a demonic aura no weaker than that of the Taiyi Realm. ℯ

At this moment, the eyes of the various demons were filled with relief.

They had just witnessed the Overlord of the Coiling Dragon River, the Black Water Demon Monarch, get swatted down in a single exchange.

Without doubt, that was an extremely terrifying Immortal God.

Fortunately, that Immortal God appeared relatively ‘mild’, and did not vent his anger on them.

Otherwise, the few lives they had would never have been enough to die with.

However, now that the Black Water Profound Snake has been sealed, the territory it left behind can be directly taken over by the many Demon Kings.

…

Zhang Jian flew swiftly toward the southeast with the Flood Dragon in tow.

Zhang Jian’s speed was extremely fast, his Escape Light streaking rapidly toward Cyan Dragon Valley.

Kuyun Mountain was not far from Cyan Dragon Valley.

With Zhang Jian’s pace, it only took several hours.

Crossing vast territories of Exotic Beasts and the Demon Race, Zhang Jian soon saw the complete Cyan Dragon Mountain Range. 𝔣𝖗ⅇℯ

The cyan-colored mountains were lush and verdant, towering peaks vast and majestic, and who knew how many Heaven and Earth Alien Species were nurtured within.

Yet compared to Kuyun Mountain before, this mountain range’s Spiritual Mechanism and Creation were much weaker, not very eye-catching.

Zhang Jian’s eyes swept once, a strange light in their depths.

It seemed that the Earth Goddess Houtu had laid down an Array to suppress the Spiritual Mechanism and Creation of this place.

Otherwise, given Divine Monarch Dongcang’s scale and Position, the Divine Mountain and great peaks birthed after his fall would surely possess first-rate divine charm and spiritual elegance in the Celestial Demon Realm.

After all, Divine Monarch Dongcang was a mighty one who had comprehended to the extreme the authorities of Wood Element, Creation, Wind and Thunder.

“The dignified Divine Monarch Dongcang, Guardian who suppressed the four poles of the Wilderness World, actually buried in such a place…”

A faint sigh rose in Zhang Jian’s heart.

Yet for a powerhouse of that level, it was the same no matter where he was buried.

At this time, many formidable demons were also entrenched in the depths of Cyan Dragon Mountain.

But when Zhang Jian’s vast Daoist Monarch Divine Sense swept across, he discovered that the most powerful demon among them was only at the Taiyi True Number Realm.

This was completely different from the situation at Kuyun Mountain.

Kuyun Mountain’s Spirit Veins were grand, with many branches; within its vast ranges there were not only more than one old Great Demon at the Taiyi True Number Realm, there was even a Demon Saint of Taiyi Celestial Immortal Level who reigned as ancestor, ruling over many old demons.

Zhang Jian did not rush to make a move, but instead first found a mountain peak, to first adapt somewhat to the Celestial Demon Realm’s special Heaven and Earth Dao Laws.

For Zhang Jian, this was very important.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles.

If he could not understand the changes in the Celestial Demon Realm’s Heaven and Earth Dao Laws, then when he clashed with powerful Demon Race experts of this local Celestial Realm, he would certainly suffer in the end.

The Unihorned Flood Dragon, seeing Zhang Jian temporarily remain within Cyan Dragon Mountain, had no choice and could only follow Zhang Jian for the time being.

After Zhang Jian went into seclusion, it actually felt quite at ease; relying on its Dao Practice at Celestial Immortal Level, it soon became an Overlord among the surrounding peaks.

Even when it encountered Demon Kings of Taiyi Level, with Zhang Jian backing it, it could remain unharmed.

After some time, this Unihorned Flood Dragon lived quite a carefree life.

…

Six hundred years later, on that mountain peak, Zhang Jian—who had never made any other move—suddenly had strands of invisible purple-yellow Immortal Light bloom from his body, faintly resonating with the threefold Ancestral Qi network of Earth, Sheji, and Nine Netherworld in the Celestial Demon Realm; with a thought, an even more vast strand of Divine Power surged from his body.

Deep between Zhang Jian’s brows a faint dragon shadow was born, rippling in his eyes.

A sigh stirred in his heart: to read ten thousand scrolls and travel ten thousand miles is indeed an excellent method of cultivation.

By comprehending the Heaven and Earth Dao Laws of Earth Attribute and Great Earth Attribute in the depths of the Celestial Demon Realm, he had indeed gained not a little harvest.

Regarding the cultivation method of the Earth Emperor Dao, he had developed many new lines of thought.

Zhang Jian quickly gathered in all miscellaneous thoughts, and in an instant rose, preparing to directly enter Cyan Dragon Valley in the depths of Cyan Dragon Mountain.

Zhang Jian considered for a moment; with a wave of his hand he first settled the Unihorned Flood Dragon in a secluded place, gave it one or two protective treasures, and then headed toward the coordinates bestowed by the Houtu Earth Goddess.

Cyan Dragon Valley was located in the Central Land of Cyan Dragon Mountain, where the Dragon Pearl lay.

Here, fengshui converged; below was hidden a large Spirit Vein, and a Demon King of Taiyi True Number Level had already occupied this place.

It was a Vine Dragon Species of Wood Attribute, also of Dragon Race origin, with no shallow Dao Practice.

It had established a Demon Cave in the valley, gathering many Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals.

Zhang Jian raised a palm, pressing it down slightly; a grand purple-yellow Divine Light directly took control of the entire Cyan Dragon Mountain Range.

Purple-yellow Immortal Light flowed through it, and one could see the Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals, and even that Vine Dragon Demon King, all swept up by the Earth Emperor Divine Light and suppressed into the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

At this time, relying on the Array Stone Plate bestowed by the Houtu Earth Goddess in his hand, Zhang Jian also found that Array of Heaven and Earth.

He pondered slightly, then in a moment summoned the Array Stone Plate within his body; a strand of earth-yellow Divine Light blossomed, and his figure instantly transformed into a streak of flowing light, descending beneath the valley.

Rumble rumble rumble!!

In just an instant, beside Zhang Jian’s ears it was as if he saw yellow mist formed by endless great earth turbid Qi rolling toward him.

Innate Muddy Qi Divine Light flowed within, carrying a power that veiled Spiritual Sense and obscured the Dao Heart.

A hazy yellow expanse, incomparably vast.

This torrent seemed to form, beneath the earth, a gray desert world.

The yellow mist covered the sky and the earth, as if endless.

The Array Stone Plate above his head radiated hazy yellow brilliance, blocking that vast, heavy Divine Light of great earth turbid Qi, preventing the outcomes of petrification and being devoured by the earth.

His figure turned into a streak of light flying at high speed, while he constantly inferred the positions within the Array of Heaven and Earth.

After some time probing, he finally approached the core.

In the distance Zhang Jian could already see a grand “oasis” buried in the yellow sand!
