Chapter 93 - 93 92 Entering the City 810

93: Chapter 92 Entering the City (8/10) 93: Chapter 92 Entering the City (8/10) “This time I was injured mainly because my cultivation realm was too low, only having Inner Breath as Vast as River and I’d only developed the Forbidden Seed of the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban, without having started to congeal the Magic Prohibition.” In the landfill, An Jing, who had arrived in the Tianyuan Realm, didn’t immediately set off but instead found a secluded spot and chose a flying shuttle that was half-buried and still looked intact on the outside. An Jing used discarded curtains to cover the windows from the outside, then opened the door of the flying shuttle—riddled with bullet holes—crawled inside, and after asking the Sword Spirit to help keep watch, he began to regulate his breath and heal his injuries. The Demon Sound had made his lungs and innards feel as if they had been struck by thousands of pine needles, causing some instability in his mind. To ensure he would not be defenseless in an unexpected battle later on, he had to suppress some of his injuries. Fortunately, the self-healing ability of the Embracing the Void Martial Arts was top-notch; as Inner Breath flowed within his body and a fiery sensation circulated his whole body, An Jing’s breathing quickly stabilized. An hour later, he opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath tinged with blood, “Still, my cultivation is too weak. Even though I wield the Chongming Sword Box, an excellent Magic Artifact, I can’t inflict much damage on the Heavenly Demon.” “You shouldn’t belittle yourself unnecessarily,” counter the Sword Spirit. “You’re only about twelve years old, and even with Innate Wisdom, achieving Inner Breath as Vast as River at your age already marks you as a genius. To desire even greater strength is simply to overreach.” “As for the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban… to be candid, back in the Sects, some disciples couldn’t even get started for years, and yet you’ve already developed the Forbidden Seed and achieved the First Prohibition.” “Although this includes the credit of your Heavenly Mandate as well as my teachings, your own hard work is also unquestionable.” An Jing actually knew that his strength had indeed been improving rapidly. However, the matters of Embracing the Void came one after another, with neither the Heavenly Demons nor the Demon Sect showing any mercy, not underestimating him in the least, thus creating a sense of urgency. However, once this ordeal was overcome, the sky’s the limit, like a dragon taking to the sea! Gathering his thoughts, An Jing continued to regulate his Inner Breath while pondering the next procurement targets, “Currently, my most important goal may not even be finding some powerful weapon, but rather achieving the cultivation needed to move freely under the suppression of Demonic Qi and Demon Sound, so I won’t be injured by the residual effects of an enemy’s attack.” “Progress in Martial Arts is slow due to the limitations of the Cultivation Techniques, so let’s start with the quickly achieved Taibai Luminous Godly Ban. This trip to the Black Market, I’ll prioritize searching for Immortal Path resources.” “As for the Evil Born Demon, its physical body indeed has the Martial Meridian realm; even the flying swords of the White-robed Scholar’s Sword Box that can straightaway kill a Scholar couldn’t even pierce its palm and could only detonate, yet it could still only injure its fingers.” “Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, this Evil Born Demon’s regeneration abilities are also very strong. When procuring weapons, ‘fire’ and ‘ice’—the types that can hinder regeneration—must be considered.” “Sword Spirit, is there anything I’ve overlooked?” seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. “You’ve analyzed it well,” said the Sword Spirit. “A characteristic of the Evil Born Demon is that once fully formed, its body is tough, and it has strong regeneration powers, able to consume other living beings to heal itself.” “As a trade-off, its mana is not strong; anyone with a slight mastery of Art of Magic or Divine Skills is stronger than it, and that includes you. At the very least, you have already developed ‘Injury-Sword Finger’ from the Divine Skill ‘Coalescing Qi into Soldiers,’ much stronger than its instinctive usage of Demonic Qi for controlling objects and contaminating other things.” “The only issue is…” At this point, the Sword Spirit’s tone became grave, “This Evil Born Demon is pursuing you entirely because the ‘Great Heavenly Demon’ that created it is interested in you.” “Whether it’s the one suppressed by my fragments in Hanging Fate Valley or the one later rescued, any interest they show in you constitutes a tremendous calamity… Defeating this Evil Born Demon will only increase their interest in you.” “With your power, being targeted by a Heavenly Demon is undoubtedly extremely dangerous!” Listening silently to the Sword Spirit’s analysis, An Jing spoke, “But they also can’t easily come to our realm, can they?” “That is true,” the Sword Spirit agreed with An Jing’s view: “Although for some unknown reason, the Demonic Qi in the Embracing the Void realm is extremely dense, those Heavenly Demons are likewise repelled by this Demonic Qi. As a result, they can only stay briefly in this world and must spend most of their time in a deep slumber within the Underworld and Netherworld.” “To appear in their true forms, they need to pay a great price or make lengthy preparations, so even if they are extremely interested in you, at most, they can only send Divided Demons to probe.” “The prerequisite is, they haven’t discovered that I am on you.” “Mhm.” An Jing nodded slightly, the Sword Spirit’s true identity obviously had a connection with the Heavenly Demons, It might very well be a sword used for exorcising demons from the Ancient Times, hence called ‘Subdue Demons and Exorcise Evil’.” “If possible,” the Sword Spirit continued, “instead of purchasing Ice and Fire Magical Instruments, it might be better to buy some Thunder Attribute Magical Instruments.” “Your Sword Box uses Thunder Method for acceleration, and with the addition of my Sword Intent, that’s why it can inflict extra damage on Evil Born Demons—An Jing, you also need to be cautious, real Body Cultivation martial artists, Martial Meridian warriors, won’t be easily injured by flying swords of this level.” “Besides their physical strength, they also possess Martial Skills and Divine Skills.” “We must prepare not only for fighting Demon Monsters but also weapons to deal with ‘people’.” “I understand,” An Jing pressed his chest, where a faint pain from his internal organs reminded him: “Other than that, my lung and entrails have also sustained no minor injuries; I still need to recover for a good day.” At the moment, he was also contemplating: “But all this requires Good Deeds… Anyway, let’s first enter the city.” Currently, An Jing was located around the periphery of the garbage dump, but before leaving the recycling shelter last time, Iron Hand had given him a map of the route into the city, or to be exact, a small tablet specifically designed to locate one’s position and generate a guiding route. Initially, to be cautious and to avoid Iron Hand detecting his location through the map, An Jing didn’t even power on the tablet and even requested the Sword Spirit to confirm there were no energy flows within the tablet, no Formation currents. But now, he activated the map, and a red dot and a path appeared on the Floating Dust Plains map constructed from numerous colored lines. “The distance… isn’t far either.” The Floating Dust Plains were already a cleared safety zone to protect Xuanye City; the garbage dump was Xuanye City’s mechanical waste site, it naturally wouldn’t be too far away—a journey of over a hundred li would be quickly covered. However, according to Iron Hand’s message, before entering the city, even if one holds a City Entry Pass, one must undergo official inspection in Xuanye City, to leave a name and a photo for the record. For locals, this is naturally nothing of concern, as practically everyone who commenced cultivation has left their Spirit Qi records in Xuanye City or other Spirit Vein cities. Only those who have always lived in the Wilderness have no such records. Even the Wilderness people are indifferent to information registration. Entering the city means a good life, the ability to buy good things for the tribe. Keeping a record wouldn’t kill them, so what’s there to fear?
