‘Damn! A real open conspiracy that I can’t avoid!’ Yue Qianchou really wanted to sell her to Africa to work as a prostitute. It didn’t feel good for a grown man to be dug a pit by a woman and invited to jump in, especially a female ghost, and it was very hard to refuse not jumping down. Yue Qianchou smiled and said: “Please tell me, Madam.”
Yu Ji gracefully bowed to Meng Yan, who nodded. This left Yue Qianchou completely puzzled. Yu Ji’s face showed rare seriousness as she asked: “How much does Master understand about this Demon Ghost Domain?”
Yue Qianchou paused and said very honestly: “I don’t understand much, just heard a little from others. Even the General’s affairs were heard for the first time. It seems others don’t understand much about this place either.”
“Ordinary people indeed find it very difficult to penetrate deep into the Demon Ghost Domain, so not understanding is quite normal.” Yu Ji nodded and slowly said: “The Demon Ghost Domain spans tens of millions of li in radius, countless times larger than the Huaxia Empire. My General’s sphere of influence is only several thousand li in radius, and even that is co-ruled with a Demon King – demons rule yang, ghosts rule yin. Compared to the entire Demon Ghost Domain’s tens of millions of li area, the General’s territory is only one ten-thousandth of it. The other Demon Kings and Ghost Kings are the same. Calculating this way, the territories of the ten great Demon and Ghost Kings combined are only tens of thousands of li in radius.”
“The Demon Ghost Domain has such a large area?” Yue Qianchou was shocked and couldn’t help asking: “Do the remaining places have owners?”
Meng Yan stepped down from his seat and waved his hand: “How could such good rivers and mountains have no owners? It’s just that heroes are divided, without the fame and strength of us ten great Demon and Ghost Kings. If they united, their strength would be countless times greater than us ten great Demon and Ghost Kings. But once scattered, they can’t compare to any one of us.”
Seeing him still maintain his commanding general’s bearing while speaking, Yue Qianchou smiled: “Then why doesn’t the General lead his great army to devour them one by one and occupy those territories? You should know that ‘In life, be an outstanding person; in death, still be a hero among ghosts’ – that’s also something enviable.”
“In life, be an outstanding person; in death, still be a hero among ghosts!” Meng Yan repeated these lines and immediately felt heroic spirit soaring, his eyes brightening. But then they dimmed again as he shook his head: “Speaking of it is shameful – it’s not that I don’t want to, but that I don’t dare.” After speaking, his face was full of bitter smiles, and he said no more.
“Oh!” Yue Qianchou guessed the two had some unspeakable difficulties, but what did this have to do with him taking them to Utopia for a visit?
At this time, Yu Ji took over the conversation, saying: “As Master said before, we indeed cannot leave the Demon Ghost Domain. If we could leave, with the strength of the General’s army, transforming the Li family dynasty and establishing someone else as ruler wouldn’t be difficult. But like the reason the General stays in the Demon Ghost Domain, it’s not that we don’t want to, but that we don’t dare.”
Yue Qianchou examined the two and asked suspiciously: “Could there be someone who can threaten the General?”
Yu Ji and Meng Yan exchanged glances, and she nodded, saying sweetly: “There is indeed someone who can threaten the General. It’s precisely because of his threat that the Demon Ghost Domain doesn’t fall into great chaos, the General’s army doesn’t dare leave the Demon Ghost Domain, and the other Demon and Ghost Kings are also threatened by that person and don’t dare act recklessly.”
She particularly emphasized the words “person” and “him” in her tone, clearly telling Yue Qianchou that what could intimidate the demons and ghosts across tens of thousands of li wasn’t some other powerful Demon or Ghost King, but a living person.
‘What person actually has such means?’ Yue Qianchou’s blood boiled as he asked forcefully: “Who is it?”
Yu Ji’s face showed anxiety as she moved with lotus steps, circling the large tent several times, occasionally looking around as if afraid someone would hear what she was saying. Finally, she bit her red lips and said: “Going straight south from here, you can reach the central area of the Demon Ghost Domain. There lives a… a cultivator named Bi Changchun.”
“What?” Yue Qianchou cried out in shock, stepping back: “A cultivator? Could there really be Deity Transformation stage cultivators in this world?”
Yue Qianchou’s blood boiled again. Heavens! So immortality wasn’t a legend but real. You should know that cultivation levels in the cultivation world were generally divided into five stages: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and Tribulation Crossing. At late Tribulation Crossing stage, living seven or eight hundred years was already quite good. Everyone pursued the great dao of cultivation and longevity. But only the legendary Deity Transformation stage was a realm that lingered at the doorstep of immortality. Being able to live several thousand years – for humans, what difference was there between that and immortality? But it was just a legend after all. Some said it was real, some said it was fake. No one dared guarantee it, and naturally it became legend over time.
Yue Qianchou, someone who had transmigrated, believed in cultivation’s pursuit of longevity – after all, he was experiencing it firsthand. But regarding the absurd matter of immortality, he would occasionally fantasize about it. To really say a person could never die? Live forever? He really couldn’t find a shred of scientific basis and didn’t hold such hopes. But now, if what Yu Ji said was true, that would be incredible!
Yue Qianchou pressed again: “Is what Madam says true?” Immortality was simply too tempting for people, especially for a cultivator who had the chance to step onto the starting point.
“Naturally it’s true.” Yu Ji smiled bitterly: “Actually, the ten great Demon and Ghost Kings of the Demon Ghost Domain were established by him and given the title of ‘ten great.’ After all, with just one person, it’s impossible for him to worry about everything in the Demon Ghost Domain, so he supported us to restrain the other heroes of the Demon Ghost Domain.”
Hiss! Yue Qianchou drew in a cold breath. It seemed this was definitely true. This trip to the Demon Ghost Domain, even if there were no other gains, just this one piece of news was too valuable. He had a new pursuit and definite goal.
“What does this have to do with you two going to Utopia?” Yue Qianchou asked doubtfully, though he already had a vague answer in his heart.
Yu Ji’s face turned somewhat pale, her voice trembling: “Once there was a Ghost King who was infatuated with the mortal world from his lifetime and violated his rules, wanting to lead his subordinate heroes into the human world. The result… the result was that the Ghost King’s more than one hundred thousand subordinates were instantly annihilated by him, and that Ghost King also met the fate of complete destruction with no chance of reincarnation.”
Meng Yan also sighed, looking like he still had lingering fears.
‘Damn! That’s too strong! More than one hundred thousand ghost cultivators instantly annihilated? Probably only Deity Transformation stage cultivation could have such means.’ Yue Qianchou’s face kept twitching as he looked at Yu Ji with a mixture of crying and laughing: “Madam! The… the small favor you want me to help with isn’t to have me take you away from the Demon Ghost Domain, is it?”
These demons and ghosts probably thought about leaving the Demon Ghost Domain all the time. After all, those who could reach late Tribulation Crossing stage cultivation, whether human, demon, or ghost, didn’t want to be constrained, especially by someone who could take their lives at any time. But the key was that when these guys went out, they brought their whole families, and not just one or two people – they wanted to bring their entire power base out to rule and dominate in the outside world. If they were really allowed to do this, wouldn’t the human world be in chaos? He now understood the thinking of that Deity Transformation stage cultivator Bi Changchun – it was to forever constrain these demons and ghosts here. Those who were obedient were fine, but those who weren’t would be killed without mercy! There was no reasoning to be done.
Yu Ji’s expression had recovered by now, and she smiled charmingly: “Could it be that Utopia is not in the Demon Ghost Domain?”
“Uh…” Yue Qianchou was speechless. It wasn’t in the Demon Ghost Domain, but it could also be said to be in the Demon Ghost Domain, because Utopia was on his person. He smiled bitterly: “Madam thinks too highly of me. Surely Madam doesn’t think I have the ability to contend with a Deity Transformation stage cultivator?”
