Chapter 87

First Update!

With a refined face, a towering figure, and a steady and dignified demeanor, the sight of this young man caused countless great demons who had been waiting outside to rise in unison, bowing in respect.

Their movements were uniform, as if they were a well-drilled army.

There were no congratulatory words, no clamor, just a solemn and silent rise and bow, which was more powerful than any words. This was reverence and obedience from the heart.

Silence speaks louder than words, straight to the heart!

This was the most magnificent scene in the deep mountains of the Southern Barbarian region for countless years, with ten thousand demons paying homage, a sight unprecedented and unparalleled.

Countless great demons stood solemnly, like soldiers facing a general on the battlefield, like ministers paying homage to the supreme ruler. This scene left Du Qingxi and the others in endless shock.

Chen Xi was also taken aback, looking at the countless demons stretching endlessly into the distance, seeing the reverence and obedience in their expressions, his heart was also deeply moved.

"Demons are more straightforward than humans. They believe in strength and power, and have a fanaticism and reverence for the strong that ordinary people cannot understand. You have killed four of the seven great demon kings, and your reputation is at its peak. I can assure you that if you declare yourself king, these demons will immediately join you, serving you without hesitation."

Ji Yu's voice echoed in his mind.

"Alright, your wish has been fulfilled. Quickly withdraw, do not disturb my young friend Chen Xi's cultivation." The Fox King of Qingshu flew into the air, his voice like thunder, rumbling throughout the entire Bao Yue Mountain.

With the Fox King of Qingshu taking the lead, no demon dared to disobey.

Soon, the great and small demons surged down Bao Yue Mountain like a tide. Although they had no chance to speak with Chen Xi, seeing his appearance was enough to satisfy them, making their journey worthwhile.

"Have you advanced in cultivation?"

Not long after the great and small demons left, the Fox King of Qingshu glanced over and was surprised to find that Chen Xi seemed to have undergone a complete transformation. Although his aura was becoming increasingly faint, he exuded a transcendent and elegant demeanor, like a mountain standing firm and a deep pool of water, with inner radiance.

Chen Xi nodded. Not only had he advanced, but in a month of seclusion, he had absorbed all the spirit liquid he had obtained. Now, in his Purple Mansion space, five dazzling stars hung, their light shimmering and echoing with each other. The true essence in the Purple Mansion lake was vast and clear, like crystalline ice.

If not for the lack of spirit liquid, Chen Xi could have even broken through to the Yellow Court realm!

More importantly, cultivating the "Ice Crane Technique" made Chen Xi's Purple Mansion lake wider and deeper than that of ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators. Although the true essence he accumulated was extremely vast and substantial, to advance further would require many times more spirit liquid than ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators.

Chen Xi would need about 100,000 pounds of spirit liquid to advance to the sixth star of the Purple Mansion.

To advance to the seventh star, he would need 200,000 pounds of spirit liquid.

To advance to the eighth star, he would need 400,000 pounds of spirit liquid.

...

To break through to the Yellow Court realm, he would need at least 2,000,000 pounds of spirit liquid!

Of course, with Chen Xi's current strength, he was no longer afraid of full-circle Purple Mansion cultivators. Even challenging Yellow Court cultivators, he had a chance to defeat them.

After all, no one could improve their divine soul as constantly as he did, with a talent for enlightenment that was heaven-defying, and cultivating the precious technique "Ice Crane Technique"... He was truly a monstrous existence.

If he could also advance his body cultivation to the Purple Mansion realm, gathering star patterns and wielding witch power, Chen Xi's combat power would soar even higher!

Unfortunately, the path of divine and demonic body cultivation advanced too slowly. Even with the powerful body cultivation technique "Zhou Tian Star Body Forging Technique," he was still stuck at the edge of the innate full-circle realm, unable to break through.

As Ji Yu said, the Purple Mansion body cultivation realm was a powerful realm where one could gather star patterns, transform witch power, and control incomprehensible divine techniques! How could it be so easy?

This step was like a chasm, a qualitative transformation, like a caterpillar breaking out of its cocoon to become a beautiful butterfly!

But this step was like a vast gulf, impossible to reach the edge of the Purple Mansion without prior hard cultivation and accumulation, without daily tempering and refinement of the body, and without that elusive breakthrough opportunity.

"Chen Xi, when are we leaving here?" Du Qingxi walked over and asked softly, a bit worried that Chen Xi might not want to leave after seeing the scene of ten thousand demons paying homage.

"Yes, we have been in the Southern Barbarian Nether Region for almost a year now. Now that we are free, we should leave quickly so that our families won't worry." Duanmu Ze also spoke.

Chen Xi was also eager to leave, but he still had something to do. "Wait until I finish something with the two demon kings, then we will set off."

"Indeed, if this matter is not resolved, you might not be able to leave either." The old turtle king smiled and said.

Du Qingxi and the others' expressions changed. What did he mean? Was he threatening Chen Xi?

"You misunderstand. To put it simply, the task we are undertaking with young friend Chen Xi is to open a passage to the outside world. Without this passage, not only can you not leave, but we cannot leave either." The old turtle king vaguely explained, not mentioning the fragments of the River Map.

"Indeed, that's true." Chen Xi nodded.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"Be careful and come back quickly."

Du Qingxi suddenly looked up, meeting Chen Xi's eyes, and said softly. The cold and icy voice rarely showed a hint of shyness and tenderness.

...

Whoosh!

Sitting on the treasure boat, flying out of Bao Yue Mountain for a long time, Chen Xi inexplicably felt a sense of relief.

Thinking about Du Qingxi's words just now, a lingering thrill still remained in his heart, like an electric shock, making him unprepared and yet filled with joy.

This feeling was like drinking strong liquor, like listening to beautiful music, truly indescribable.

"Seeing young friend Chen Xi like this, are you troubled by love? No wonder you charged up the Howling Moon Ridge alone with your sword, driven by your passion for a beauty. Truly an enviable pair of dao companions." The Fox King of Qingshu blinked his charming eyes and teased.

Chen Xi was taken aback, quickly shook his head, and changed the subject. He did not want to discuss his inner secrets with an old fox.

"By the way, where is the fragment of the River Map?"

The Fox King of Qingshu smiled, knowing when to stop, then leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, saying leisurely, "Naturally, it is in the center of the deep mountains of the Southern Barbarian region, 50,000 miles away, beneath the Yin-Yang Inversion Mountain."

Yin-Yang Inversion Mountain?

What a strange name!

A sense of anticipation rose in Chen Xi's heart.

Whoosh!

The treasure boat broke through the rolling clouds, flying swiftly under the sky. Although its speed was not as fast as a flying sword, it did not consume true essence, and it could protect against wind and rain and the air currents, making it extremely convenient and comfortable.

Soon, a pitch-black mountain peak piercing the clouds came into view. The mountain was covered in strange rocks, with no vegetation, like a ferocious steel beast. Within a hundred miles, there was a complete silence, with no signs of life!
