Chapter 874: Chapter 816: Reunion

"Heaven-Reaching Demon Treasure?"

Jiang Yuebai tilted her head in confusion, searching through the Ice Demon’s memories for a long time but couldn’t find what exactly this thing was. They didn’t doubt its existence at all, only doubted their own qualifications, hence they couldn’t find it.

"I wonder if it’s similar to the Human Clan’s Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure. Brother’s books mentioned that the Human Clan only has one Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, which is some Observatory, and even Innate Spiritual Treasures are limited to just nine, each controlled by a Mahayana Immortal Monarch."

If there really is a Heaven-Reaching Demon Treasure comparable to a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure here, wouldn’t all the Demon Clan rush to fight over it?

Jiang Yuebai soon found the answer to this question.

The eight Demon Clan tribes each have their own trial grounds, set by former Heavenly Demons from each tribe, and subsequent appearances of Heavenly Demons would reinforce and repair these grounds.

Return to your home, find your own tribe, no visiting!

The entrance to the trial grounds is only accessible to powerful demons recognized by each tribe, with cultivation not lower than Late-Stage Primordial Demon and not higher than Late-Stage True Demon.

The demons in the Primordial and True Demon realms have the greatest chance of obtaining benefits in the trial grounds and can enter once every hundred years.

If their level is higher, it would damage the trial grounds, so every thousand years, Refining Void King Demons can enter once, and every three thousand years, Integration Emperor Demons can enter once.

Heavenly Demons can enter and exit at will, but must take on the responsibility of safeguarding the trial grounds.

"I could come in surely because I can transform. Maybe I can enter all the trial grounds of the Eight Great Demon Clan tribes. I am definitely unique in the entire Demon Realm, haha, I’m really amazing!"

Jiang Yuebai strutted arrogantly across the Ice Field disguised as an Ice Demon, her white hair flying amidst the wind and snow. She always felt that her white hair looked better than her previous black hair.

Due to the unprecedented Ice Demon Ancestor from the past, the Ice Demon Clan holds a special status among the eight Demon Clan tribes, and the Ice Demons have always been very proud.

The Ice Demon Ancestor once led the entire Demon Clan to break through the Spiritual Realm and battle across the Three Realms. At their most glorious moment, they occupied a third of the Upper Realm of the Human Clan, and even today’s Demon Realm was opened by the Ice Demon Ancestor leading the demons.

If it weren’t for several Mahayana joining forces from the Human and Demon Clans and perishing together with the Ice Demon Ancestor, he might have defeated the Human Clan, allowing the Demon Clan to rule over the Three Realms of all beings.

Perhaps the Ice Demon Ancestor’s brilliance was too radiant, his fortune unmatched, leading to the decline of the entire Ice Demon Clan after his fall, even without a single Integration Emperor Demon.

Jiang Yuebai sped northward towards the Ice Mountain, deep in thought.

"The trial grounds have been used many times by the Ice Demon Clan, yet they still haven’t found the Heaven-Reaching Demon Treasure left by the Ice Demon Ancestor. That’s certainly because I haven’t been here, so the Heaven-Reaching Demon Treasure hasn’t appeared yet. Now that I’m here, whether it’s the fragrant miss or the Heaven-Reaching Demon Treasure, they’re all mine!"

Reaching the foot of the mountain, Jiang Yuebai leapt upwards, charging forward, only to collide with an invisible barrier mid-air, crashing back down with a bang.

She quickly stabilized herself, hearing countless whistling sounds as large shadows descended from above.

Jiang Yuebai looked up, her pupils constricted.

She saw the sky filled with glimmering ice cones, realizing they were larger than her entire being as they drew closer!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Jiang Yuebai transformed into a swift gale, weaving through the ice cones, darting left and right among them. The intense cold quickly froze her demonic qi, slowing her speed.

A shadow struck her face, Jiang Yuebai struck out with her palm.

Bam!

Ice cones shattered, crystal dust flying. Six arms sprung from Jiang Yuebai’s back, eight palms striking in rapid succession, leaving phantom trails among the ice cones with overwhelming momentum.

A moment later, Jiang Yuebai landed, ice hail falling, snow mist spreading. She squinted upwards, observing the ice mountain ahead, seeing something moving amid the pure white, seemingly hiding numerous things.

It was the invisible barrier obstructing her, preventing her from sensing what it truly was.

The previous Ice Demon memory contained a map of the trial grounds; she’s currently on the Ice Field surrounding the trial grounds, encircled by five great mountains with a central plain Ice Valley.

The central part of the Ice Valley has a teardrop-shaped unfrozen pond called Luoze, which is an alias for ice among the Human Clan. The Ice Demon Clan prefers to call it ’Holy Ancestor Pond.’

The purpose of Ice Demon trials here is to cultivate beside the Holy Ancestor Pond.

Just a handful of pond water can transform the Ice Demon’s Demon Heart, washing away the ’impurity’ in the Demon Heart or Demon Spirit considered impure by the Demon Clan, leaving only pure Ice Demon power.

Generally, Ice Demons of the True Demon realm and Demon Spirits tend to manifest blue-gray colors due to muddy qi cleansing, but after being washed by the water of the Holy Ancestor Pond, the Demon Heart tends toward colorless transparency.

The purer and clearer the ice, the closer the Ice Demon power to the Ice Demon Ancestor, also closer to the Ancient Demons of ancient times, which were the closest to chaos’s Extreme Yin Power.

The Ice Demon Ancestor once said that humans and demons are just two sides of Yin and Yang in the world, humans as Yang, demons as Yin, so there’s no difference between demons and humans.

If humans can stand atop all beings, demons can do the same!

Jiang Yuebai couldn’t help but admire the Ice Demon Ancestor’s boldness, what he said made sense. No matter what, one shouldn’t belittle oneself, complain, but embark on self-improvement!

Now, she aims to reach the Holy Ancestor Pond, necessitating traversing the mountains surrounding it, with each mountain having a gorge path that can be climbed over or walked along.

Yet judging from the previous scenario, it’s definitely ’heavily guarded.’

The trial begins now.

Boom boom boom!

Suddenly, explosive sounds echoed from both sides, sweeping air currents, revealing invisible barriers in front of her, violently shaking.

The ground beneath shook, Jiang Yuebai looked up at the mountain peak, sure enough, it was a sign of an avalanche, indicating ice demons fiercely attacking the mountain defenses on both sides.

She stretched her neck and peered ahead, feeling the cold on the left side more intensely while the right side felt sharp amid the cold.

After a brief contemplation, Jiang Yuebai decisively charged right, surmounting small snow hills, seeing numerous icy swords hanging in the air, a white-clad black-haired woman standing among them, majestic like an immortal.

The female cultivator waved her arms, thousands of swords shot forward, fiercely bombarding, tearing a crack in the barrier that had knocked Jiang Yuebai earlier.

His heart joyous, Jiang Yuebai knew she was not far when following the missy down, even if scratched.

Watching the missy use Sword Control, swiftly passing through the crack in the barrier, Jiang Yuebai immediately increased her speed to the maximum, following closely behind, narrowly passing before the barrier closed.

"Wait for me!"

Jiang Yuebai called out from behind, Lu Nanzhi shuddered abruptly, spun around, seeing Jiang Yuebai dashing smaller in Ice Demon form, crashing right into her embrace.

The impact was so strong that Lu Nanzhi nearly fell.

"Li...Little Bai?!"

Lu Nanzhi couldn’t believe she’d see Jiang Yuebai here.

Although she appeared as an Ice Demon, with changed facial and body features, as soon as Lu Nanzhi saw those mischievous, agile, and clear eyes, she could confirm it was Jiang Yuebai.

"Watch out!"

No time for thorough thought, Jiang Yuebai shouted, Lu Nanzhi turned around, seeing hundreds of Snow Monsters on the ice mountain, raising massive ice cones, launching them fiercely toward them.

Clang!

Lu Nanzhi drew her sword, sweeping horizontally, resolutely shielding Jiang Yuebai.
