Ch266 - The Demon Totem

It was unknown if it was because getting inside the Golden Palace and the Muze Palace was too smooth, therefore, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu encountered difficulties when trying to enter the Crystal (Water) Palace, Fire Palace, and Earth Palace, and did not get any opportunities.

There were too many puppets in the Crystal Palace, and Liu Mufeng’s soul power was not as good as that of the Third Elder, so he could not turn the puppets into his own. Therefore, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu fought with the puppets in the corridor for a year, but they failed to enter the Crystal Palace.

The Fire Palace, it was a bit stifling to say, the two of them passed through the aisle but failed to open the Palace door. Obviously, other cultivators had already entered the Palace first, so the Palace door could not be opened, and the two of them could only wait in the corridor for a year .

The Earth Palace was the Palace of the Fifth Elder. The Fifth Elder was an Array Master. Liu Mufeng’s Earth Spirit Insects were not strong enough, so they failed to enter the Earth Palace and were trapped in the array for a year.

In the blink of an eye, five years had passed, although Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu broke into five Palaces, they only got the opportunities from two Palaces, which made Jiang Xu a little depressed. It was fortunate that they found a lot of storage rings in Golden Palace and Muze Palace.

When Liu Mufeng went into seclusion, Jiang Xu took out the large number of storage rings they had found and sorted out all the things in there by himself. Although the storage rings of many enemies of the Tianyan Clan were old, and the pills, spiritual plants, and spirit stones in the storage rings could no longer be used, Jiang Xu still found a lot of good magic tools and weapons and inheritances. However, those inheritances were all written in ancient characters, some characters Liu Mufeng knew, but some he didn’t know. In any case, it was still a small gain.

In addition, there were also many cultivators who had come to Mechanism Island for exploration and treasure hunting in the modern times. There were quite a lot of spiritual plants, spiritual talismans, spirit stones, and pills in their storage rings. This allowed Jiang Xu to find some comfort.

After breaking through the Five Palaces of Metal (Gold), Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, Liu Mufeng took his partner Jiang Xu directly to the Demon Gate of the Ninth Elder.

“Mufeng, why is this door called the Demon Gate? Was the Ninth Elder not from the Tianyan Clan but the Heavenly Demon Clan?” Jiang Xu was puzzled by this.

“No, no, the Ninth Elder was a cultivator of the Tianyan clan, but his partner was from the Demon Clan, so the Palace he lived in was called the Heavenly Demon Palace. Hence this gate is also called the Demon Gate!” Liu Mufeng explained as he looked at his lover.

Hearing this, Jiang Xu nodded. “So that’s the case. Then, was this Ninth Elder a Puppet Master or a Mechanism Master?”

“The Ninth Elder was a Puppet Master, but his puppetry skills were not as good as the Third Elder.” Liu Mufeng replied like this.

“However, the Ninth Elder’s things may not be useful to us. We haven’t come in vain, right?” Jiang Xu felt that he and Mufeng might not be able to use the Ninth Elder’s opportunity.

“If we can get opportunities that are beneficial to demon beasts, Xiaoyuan and Xiaoyue can use them.” Liu Mufeng explained.

“En,that’s true.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed.

“I hope not.” Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu continued to walk forward.

They walked unimpeded all the way to the gate of the Demon Palace, Jiang Xu was dumbfounded seeing the open Palace gate and the empty Palace Hall.

“Was this raided by the previous batch of cultivators? Even the big night pearl on the ceiling was taken away?” Looking at the two big holes in the ceiling, Jiang Xu smiled wryly.

“En, I’m afraid it was wiped clean by cultivators thousands of years ago.” Liu Mufeng sighed softly saying that. He led Jiang Xu into the empty Palace Hall. It didn’t matter if the opportunities were found or not, what he really wanted was the Totem.

“There is nothing in the Palace, let’s go to the side halls on the left and right to have a look.” Jiang Xu replied listlessly.

“Okay.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng took Jiang Xu to the west side hall first. That was the room where the puppets were crafted, but some parts and inheritance of puppetry were already taken away. Only a few wooden shelves remained, without any value.

After walking out of the west side hall, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu walked into the east side hall. This was the bedroom of the Ninth Elder and his wife. The room was empty, there was nothing, probably all the furniture had been taken away as well. There was a side door in the room, and when they opened it, they could see it was the cultivation room.

Walking into the cultivation room, Jiang Xu sighed softly as he looked at the stone tables, benches, and beds inside the room. “Oh, the search was so clean. There is nothing left.”

“No, there are still things left.” Speaking thus, Liu Mufeng walked to the north wall and looked at the Demon Totem on the wall.

“Mufeng, what is that?” Looking at the weird picture on the wall, Jiang Xu looked curious.

“This is the Totem of the Demon Clan. It’s a good thing.XiaoXu, come and help me take these stone slabs off the wall.” Liu Mufeng said as he looked at his lover.

“Oh, okay.” Jiang Xu immediately went to help.

This Demon Totem was composed of eight 80×60 stone slabs. Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu took the stone slabs off the wall piece by piece, checked the stone slabs, and Liu Mufeng put all eight stone slabs into his storage ring.

“Master, the key.” Seeing the key hidden in the crevice of the wall, Xiaoyuan reached out and took out the key.

Putting on gloves, Liu Mufeng took the key and immediately sterilized it. After disinfection, it was put together with the other two keys.

“Ei,we just found one key and eight stone slabs, and we’re going to stay here for four years.” Jiang Xu felt a little depressed.

Liu Mufeng smiled wryly. “There is no way around this. Xiaoyuan, you should bring the Golden Spirit Insects and Fire Spirit Insects to live in the bedroom next door. You can bring out the furniture that you have, so you can live in that room.XiaoXu and I will live here in the cultivation room.”

“I understand, Master.” Xiaoyuan responded, then turned and left.

Putting away the two puppets, Liu Mufeng took out the Dust Cleansing talisman and cleaned the training room. Then, he took out the quilt and spread it on the stone bed. “Take a break if you’re tired.”

“En.” Jiang Xu sat on the bed sullenly.

Looking at his dejected lover, Liu Mufeng smiled and sat beside his wife. “Don’t be like this. If we can’t find opportunities this time, there will be another time. In the future, we will always find other opportunities.”

“Mufeng, what’s the use of those eight stone slabs? I saw that you seemed to like those stone slabs very much.” Jiang Xu asked curiously.

“The Totem of the Demon Clan is engraved on the slate. It is a simple one-time-use teleportation totem. It is like a teleportation array that can teleport people away. However, it can only be used once. After use, the slate will shatter and can no longer be used.” Liu Mufeng explained to his lover.

“It’s a teleportation array? Wow, that’s amazing!” Jiang Xu couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

“I’ve thought about it. We have stayed in the Shengtian Continent for more than 30 years, and it is no longer safe here. We will not go back to the Shengtian mainland, let’s go to Tianyao Continent.” Liu Mufeng told Jiang Xu his plan.

At that, Jiang Xu nodded. “En, what you said makes sense. We’ve been on Mechanism Island for 30 years. Maybe we’ll meet people from the Sun family as soon as we go back to the Shengtian mainland, so, for the sake of safety, we can’t go back.”

“Yes, I think so too. I want to take you to a relatively safe place, so that you can retreat and advance to the Spiritual Profound Realm without any worries.” Liu Mufeng spoke of his idea.

“Then, what kind of continent is the Tianyao Continent? Is it a mid-level continent or a high-level continent?”Jiang Xu asked.

“It’s a mid-level continent. Over there is the territory of the Demon race, inhabited by all the demon races. Before we go there, we first need to refine some pills to cover up our human auras, and disguise ourselves as demon race. Then, we can find a deserted island, find a secluded place for you to retreat. After you have advanced to the Spiritual Profound Realm, we will find a way out and go back to the Zunhuang Continent.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xu nodded. “Okay, you decide. You have read more books, know more things than me, and have more ideas than me. I will go wherever you say.” Jiang Xu trusted his man very, very much.

“En,okay, I’ll arrange this matter. Even if we have to leave, we will have to wait until fifteen years later. Don’t worry, we can prepare slowly.” Saying this, Liu Mufeng leaned forward and kissed his beloved on the cheek.

“Xiaoyuan is next door!” Jiang Xu protested helplessly.

“It’s okay, I’ll set up a barrier, and she won’t be able to get in.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng waved his hand immediately to set up a barrier.

“You!” Jiang Xu shook his head helplessly looking at his lover who was eagerly coming to untie his belt.

“Before, it was either you were in seclusion or I was in seclusion. We finally stopped retreating, and then the two of us were still trapped in those Palace corridors, conditions did not permit us. At this moment, there is finally a Palace to live in. You have to make it up to me.” Liu Mufeng said in a rascal-like manner.

Jiang Xu smiled wryly. “Okay, I’ll accompany you in dual cultivation for a few days, but the time can’t be too long. I promised Xiaoyuan that I will teach her sword skills.”

“I’m more important than her.” With his arms around his wife, Liu Mufeng said relentlessly.

Jiang Xu smiled helplessly. “You, you’ll even eat Xiaoyuan’s vinegar, right?”

“No, I’ll eat you if I’m jealous.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng directly pressed him on the bed…
