Myriad Monster Kingdom
"Oh? You have good eyesight, actually able to tell that this is a Clone of mine," Lu Yuling, with her peerless beauty, raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise appearing on her jade-like face, but then she smiled calmly, making everything else pale in comparison. "Even if it's Clone, I am still Lu Yuling. Could it be that, with a Clone, I am no longer Lu Yuling?"
"That makes sense. Even if it's Clone, you're still Lu Yuling." Zhuge Xiang nodded in agreement, admitting his mistake. "I misspoke. Both the Clone and the True Body are you."
But then, Zhuge Xiang's tone shifted, revealing a lewd expression that would disgust any woman. "Hehe, it seems that if I marry you, with Clone on top of each other, wouldn't I be able to enjoy sleeping together, having two women on each side, even three or four?"
"Alright, hurry up and tell me, what is it?" Even though Lu Yuling knew Zhuge Xiang's personality well, a blush still appeared on her beautiful face as she cut to the chase after Zhuge Xiang's irrelevant teasing and blatant words.
"It's simple, I need you to accompany me to the Myriad Monster Kingdom." Since Lu Yuling wanted to get straight to the point, Zhuge Xiang explained his purpose for coming. At the same time, he told Lu Yuling about the major forces uniting to fight against the Great Qin Imperial Family in three days, as well as the events involving Heavenly Dragon Temple and the Myriad Monster Kingdom.
"So that's how it is. It's come to this?" Upon hearing that they were going to launch a military campaign against the Great Qin Imperial Family, Lu Yuling's face became more solemn as she spoke.
Such a campaign naturally requires winning over the powerful force of the Myriad Monster Kingdom. Therefore, I really need to accompany him on a trip. Besides, I haven't been back to the Myriad Monster Kingdom in a long time.
"The Myriad Monster Kingdom, it's time for me to go back and take a look." A magnificent aura emerged from White Lotus Mountain, and another peerless figure appeared in the snowy landscape. Her white dress fluttered as she stood proudly in the wind and snow. Even the breathtaking scenery of flying snow White Lotus seemed to serve only as a backdrop to highlight her otherworldly beauty. Lu Yuling, the True Body.
"First level of the Dharma Aspect Realm?" Zhuge Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Lu Yuling who was flying through the air.
Is the Heart Fighting Technique really that powerful? It's only been a short time; even if she had been in seclusion all this time, her cultivation couldn't have improved so dramatically. She actually surpassed me and entered the Dharma Aspect Realm?
"As expected of the Cultivation Technique that made the founder of the Asura Sect Founding Ancestor famous. Your cultivation speed is quite astonishing," Zhuge Xiang praised, gazing at Lu Yuling's cultivation at the first level of the Dharma Aspect Realm. He was also happy for Lu Yuling's cultivation.
"The Heart Fighting Technique is the most suitable Cultivation Technique for me. Relying on my Clone to cultivate is equivalent to many of me cultivating at the same time. So, how can my cultivation level improve so quickly?" Lu Yuling, with her beautiful face and a faint smile, replied to Zhuge Xiang. The Heart Fighting Technique is very powerful. With her Clone cultivating at the same time, it is naturally much faster than cultivating alone.
"Just by meditating and cultivating, you can improve so quickly? How many Clone do you have?" Zhuge Xiang exclaimed in surprise, his eyes wide.
If Zhuge Xiang had encountered some rare and precious treasure, coupled with Heart Fighting Technique, he could understand how his cultivation level could have increased to this point. However, simply through meditation and cultivation, in just a few months, he actually raised his cultivation level from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Dharma Aspect Realm? Spanning three minor realms?
"All over the mountains and plains," Lu Yuling said calmly, seemingly appreciating Zhuge Xiang's shocked expression.
As Lu Yuling finished speaking, the White Lotus covering the entire White Lotus Mountain, amidst the swirling snow, transformed in a flash, all becoming Lu Yuling's figure— Clone technique, and not just any Clone, but hundreds and thousands of them...
"This... this..." Zhuge Xiang stared wide-eyed at the hundreds and thousands of Lu Yuling covering the entire mountainside.
Lu Yuling was originally formed from Ice Lotus, but in this White Lotus Mountain, could she have spread her roots throughout the entire Floating Mountain, and then each lotus flower could become a Clone? Even if these Clones were not highly cultivated, not very strong in combat, and did not increase much power through cultivation, their sheer number was terrifying.
Seeing Zhuge Xiang's astonished expression, Lu Yuling smiled knowingly. Zhuge Xiang's cultivation speed had always astonished Lu Yuling. No matter how hard she tried, she would always be left behind by him, and the gap would only widen. Today, she finally saw that he was astonished because of her.
"Oh my god, this is wonderful! If I marry only you, I can enjoy the privilege of having three thousand concubines in my harem..." However, what Zhuge Xiang said next made Lu Yuling's face darken. All her many Clones, and he was only thinking about such filthy things?
"Alright, let's go, we don't have much time." Seeing Zhuge Xiang's expression, Lu Yuling really didn't want her to continue talking. With a thought, all her Clone transformed into lotus flowers, and all of Lu Yuling Clone the mountains and fields disappeared.
"That's right, let's go." Thinking that he still had missions in the Myriad Monster Kingdom and the Heavenly Dragon Temple, but only three days left, Zhuge Xiang's expression became much more serious. He nodded and said, no longer teasing Lu Yuling. The two of them traveled together and flew towards the Myriad Monster Kingdom.
The Myriad Monster Kingdom is located in the Far North of the Great Qin Empire. Taiyi Commandery is the largest prefecture in the Great Qin Empire. In terms of the Great Qin Empire's territory, Taiyi Commandery's area is almost equivalent to two ordinary prefectures.
Taiyi Commandery in the Far North is the territory controlled by the Myriad Monster Kingdom. On the surface, Taiyi Commandery is still part of the Great Qin Empire, but in reality, the Great Qin Empire's control over Taiyi Commandery is so weak that it is almost zero. Taiyi Commandery has become a country within a country.
Taiyi Commandery was not originally named this, but it was renamed by the Myriad Monster Kingdom. Legend has it that at the beginning of the Heaven and Earth, the Demon Race appeared on this continent. At that time, the famous emperor of the Demon Race was Eastern Emperor Taiyi. This Taiyi Commandery shows the ambition of the Myriad Monster Kingdom, meaning that this territory belongs to their Demon Race and no one else can even think of touching it, not even the Great Qin Imperial Family.
With Zhuge Xiang and Lu Yuling's speed, they naturally arrived in Taiyi Commandery very quickly. The two Void Returning Stage powerhouses flew through the air, looking down at the scene of Taiyi Commandery. Even though Zhuge Xiang was considered well-traveled, he was still shocked by the atmosphere of Taiyi Commandery.
A terrifying Demonic Qi permeated the skies above Taiyi Commandery, making the territory seem like a gathering place for demons. Monster Beast roamed freely within the Taiyi Commandery, controlled by countless Monster Beasts. It was truly Demonic Creatures Fairy...
Within Taiyi Commandery, Monster Beast are like children, and Fairy are like adults. The strange buildings have no style of the human world at all. Zhuge Xiang even looked down from the air and saw a tavern. The owner was a Black Bear spirit, and all the people eating and drinking in the tavern were Fairy. The dishes on the tables had everything, and he could even see dishes made from human bodies.
In the human world, humans enslave all sorts of animals, even raising them for meat. But in this Myriad Monster Kingdom, humans are actually food. Zhuge Xiang could even see dilapidated breeding grounds, like pigsties, where hundreds and thousands of humans were raised as meat. These raised humans were like beasts, their eyes lifeless and numb, showing no trace of the brilliance that should be present in them as the most intelligent beings.
"Indeed, this is a kingdom of Demonic Creatures..." As he flew through this Myriad Monster Kingdom, the atmosphere and the completely opposite status of humans and Demonic Creatures made Zhuge Xiang murmur to himself.
Let alone those so-called Righteous Path Cultivator, even Zhuge Xiang, a Demon Cultivator, felt as if his worldview had been distorted upon seeing the situation in the Myriad Monster Kingdom.
"Since ancient times, humans and Demonic Creatures have been opposing forces. Humans have the idea that those who are not of our kind must have different intentions, so they hunt and kill Demonic Creatures indiscriminately, calling it 'subduing demons and protecting the righteous path.' In reality, how many of them are actually after Demon Core, or even the bones, fur, and blood of Monster Beast for medicine or for forging weapons?"
Lu Yuling, born in the Myriad Monster Kingdom, was already accustomed to this scene. She parted her lips slightly and said, "Naturally, human hunting will also incur the hatred of Demonic Creatures. Relatively speaking, although human Cultivator are strong, ordinary humans are powerless in front of Demonic Creatures. Countless Demonic Creatures vent their hatred on humans. Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a deep-seated hatred between humans and demons."
"The Myriad Monster Kingdom helped the Ying Clan seize the throne, and in return, they gained this territory of their own. In reality, the relationship between the Myriad Monster Kingdom and the Ying Clan was one of transaction. It was inevitable that the Ying Clan had the weakest control over Taiyi Commandery."
"Firstly, how could the Demonic Creatures of the Myriad Monster Kingdom willingly obey humans? Secondly, the Myriad Monster Kingdom, with its billions of Demonic Creatures, if not restrained by Taiyi Commandery, would spread throughout the entire Great Qin Empire, and the newly acquired empire would surely crumble. Therefore, the Ying Clan also hopes that the Myriad Monster Kingdom can stay obediently in Taiyi Commandery."
"That makes sense." Upon hearing Lu Yuling's words, Zhuge Xiang nodded in agreement. People only know that the Myriad Monster Kingdom is incredibly powerful, and Taiyi Commandery is a country within a country, which makes people wary. However, they do not know that there are also intricate relationships between them.
In the Myriad Monster Kingdom, how to settle the billions of Demonic Creatures? The Ying Clan's decision to carve out Taiyi Commandery was actually a last resort. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be Taiyi Commandery that would suffer, but the entire Great Qin Empire. Moreover, if these Demonic Creatures spread Great Qin Empire and harmed surrounding countries, it would surely arouse the wrath of those countries.
Therefore, the Myriad Monster Kingdom is almost independent of the Great Qin Empire, becoming a country within a country. This is partly due to the special identities of the billions of Demonic Creatures in the Myriad Monster Kingdom, and partly due to other inevitable reasons... (To be continued...)
