Green Snake Peak nodded, Han Yi's eyes lit up.

Although he did not directly know where the cross-border passage was from the memory of the demon king Green Snake, he could get a glimpse of the entire Shimmering Light Demon Realm from his memory.

The area of the Shimmering Light Demon Realm is similar to that of the Jade Balance Realm. Unlike Jade Balance Realm which divides Nine Prefectures, the division of the Demon Realm is simpler and is divided into the four major demon domains of southeast, northwest and northwest.

In every demon realm, there are countless ancient mountains. The mountains have owners, either demon gods or demon saints. Only in the large mountains occupied by demon gods can demon cities be built.

The geographical location of Green Snake Demon Stockade is located at the Devour Heaven Mountains in the Eastern Region. Deep in this vast mountain range, there is a city named Devour Heaven City, which was founded by the demon god Devour Heaven.

besides.

In every Demon Realm, there is a giant Upper Ancient Demon City jointly controlled by multiple demon gods. In the Eastern Region, tens of millions of miles away from the Devour Heaven Mountains, there is such a Upper Ancient Demon City.

Its name is, Undying Ancient City.

In the memory of Green Snake Demon King, he only visited Undying Ancient City once.

Moreover, the city lord of Undying Ancient City is the Undying Immortal Python who led the demons from the Eastern Region through the space channel to invade Jade Balance Realm.

Yes, in the soul shadow of Green Snake Demon King, he also participated in the invasion of the Jade Balance Realm. However, he was lucky. In the battle between the two worlds like a big millstone, he survived. But what he never expected was that he would still die among the human monks.

In addition, Han Yi also learned a secret.

The so-called Spirit-Devouring Python royal family was not originally called Undying Immortal Python, but Nine-Lives Immortal Python, which means that members of the Spirit-Devouring Python royal family who have broken through to Divine Transformation have nine lives.

But after the Nine-Lives Immortal Python clan leader, Nine-Lives Demon God, became the lord of Undying Ancient City, he changed his royal name to Undying Immortal Python.

actually.

Most of the city lords of Undying Ancient City in the past would change their title to Undying Demon God after becoming city lords. There were even a few rare races who would name their races immortal, such as Nine-Lives Immortal Python. After Nine-Lives Demon God became the city lord of Undying Ancient City, they changed their names to Undying Immortal Python.

but.

With the fall of Undying Immortal Python and the birth of the new Undying Ancient City lord, the Undying Immortal Python ethnic group will be changed to its original name, which is Nine-Lives Immortal Python.

This rule has happened many times in the long history of the Shaking Light Realm.

In addition, in the memory of Green Snake Demon King, Undying Ancient City has stood in the Shaking Light Realm for hundreds of thousands of years. It has existed since ancient times when Great Luo Immortal Realm was not broken.

Great Luo Immortal Realm, this name appeared in Han Yi's mind for the first time.

And he also knows that the fairy world above Big Dipper Domain is called Great Luo Immortal Realm. As for the Shattered Immortal Realm that Void Immortal-Seeking went to before, it is naturally a fragment of the Great Luo Immortal Realm.

The divergent thoughts converged. After knowing Devour Heaven City and Undying Ancient City from the soul shadow of Green Snake, Han Yi had already decided to skip Devour Heaven City and go to Undying Ancient City.

No matter how you say it, Devour Heaven City is just a city on a mountain, while Undying Ancient City is a city in a region. Moreover, it has existed since ancient times. If there is any news about the passage between the two realms, Undying Ancient City definitely has it.

Han Yi felt excited.

However, to prepare for a rainy day, in order to ensure that his identity was qualified, Han Yi still directed and acted. In full view of the public, he killed the demon king Green Snake and occupied this demon village. If someone came to check his identity in the future, his secret would not be revealed. He took a step back and said that in case of any accident, this was his retreat.

This was a sign of extreme caution on his part.

After digesting the ghost memory of Demon King Green Snake, Han Yi did not stay any longer. He convened a meeting with many big monsters and monsters in the demon village, announced his upcoming trip to Undying Ancient City, promoted three deputy village leaders, and divided the body of Demon King Green Snake. All the big monsters were ecstatic and shouted continuously.

Moreover, he wished that these big demons would be promoted to demon kings. After he left, they would seize the power of the village master. Seizing the power would be equivalent to helping him defend the demon village. By guarding this coordinate, he could come back and shoot the opponent to death at any time.

After arranging Bull Demon Stronghold's affairs, Han Yi no longer stayed and set off directly. From Green Snake Demon King's Qiankun Ring, he took out a Immortal Boat. Although this Immortal Boat was only a low-grade magic weapon level Immortal Boat, it was exquisitely made.

Immortal Boat's name is Wind Rider, and Han Yi also knows from the memory of Green Snake Demon King that this Immortal Boat was bought when he went to Undying Ancient City for the only time.

In the Shimmering Light Demon Realm, there are also weapon refiners, formation masters, Alchemy and other cultivators of various immortal arts. Moreover, some demon cultivators with different talents focus on various arts, and their attainments in various arts are much stronger than those of human monks.

This was different from Han Yi's original concept. He originally thought that the demon clan was arrogant and must be far behind human monks in the development of immortal civilization. However, the Undying Ancient City situation presented in the memory of Green Snake demon king was contrary to Han Yi's cognition.

As one of the four most powerful ancient cities in the Shaking Light Realm, Undying Ancient City has gathered nearly half of the powerful demon cultivators in the entire Eastern Region.

Among the ordinary mountains in the Eastern Region, although the Demon Village looks simple, the big cities in the mountains, such as Devour Heaven City deep in the Devour Heaven Mountains, are inferior to the cities in one state in the world of human immortality, not to mention the ancient cities that are much more majestic than the big cities.

Severe polarization, this is the current situation of the Shimmering Light Demon Realm.

Han Yi kept thinking about the next plan in his mind, driving Wind Rider Immortal Boat, without slowing down, according to the memory of Green Snake Demon King, and escaped towards the outside of the Devour Heaven Mountains.

His appearance at this moment is still that of Niu Dali. The demonic aura on his body is controlled at the early stage of Demon King and is not very prominent.

One month later.

From a distance, Han Yi saw a river cutting off Devour Heaven Mountains. It is not appropriate to call it a river. The other side of this raging river could not be seen at a glance. If it were not in the memory of the demon king Green Snake, this was a river. Han Yi would have recognized it as an ocean at the first sight.

This river, Chi Dragon River.

Rumor has it that in ancient times, a Chilong Demon Fairy fell in this world, and the place where he fell created Chi Dragon River.

This is one of the Demon Realm's many rumors. In the memory of Green Snake Demon King, there are at least a dozen places similar to the places where these demon fairies fell.

Han Yi gathered his thoughts, took Wind Rider Immortal Boat, and continued driving in the fixed direction. It took three full days before he reached the other side. One can imagine how wide this river is.

On the other side of the Chi Dragon River, there are also vast mountains. This endless mountain with no edge at a glance is named Heavenly Ape Mountains. There is a demon god here named Heavenly Ape Demon God. However, this demon god, At the time of the Jade Balance Realm, the demon body had been killed, leaving only the demon soul. Although with the demon god's Tongtian power, even the demon soul could survive, and it was not difficult to shape the demon body, but weakening of strength was inevitable.

In the memory of Green Snake Demon King, more than half a year ago, when Han Yi was in retreat in a mountain stream to heal his wounds, this Heavenly Ape Mountains had begun to show signs of chaos. Of course, the specific situation, Green Snake Demon King also occasionally heard from Devour Heaven City, and there was no definite news.

Of course, these are not important to Han Yi. Whether it is Devour Heaven Mountains or Heavenly Ape Mountains, they have little to do with him. He is just a passerby.

However, when crossing Heavenly Ape Mountains, the Demon King intercepted and killed him several times, but for Han Yi, each time it contributed a lot of resources to him and left soul shadows one after another in the sea of consciousness.

These soul shadows gave Han Yi a more comprehensive and detailed understanding of the Heavenly Ape Mountains, and even the current Eastern Region.

Green Snake What the demon king heard in Devour Heaven City is true. Heavenly Ape Mountains is indeed in chaos. The demon clan that invaded Jade Balance Realm this time are the eastern and southern regions of the Shaking Light Realm. The eastern region is the main force, and only six demon gods and a dozen demon saints are participating in the southern region.

Undying Ancient City Lord, Undying Demon God, fell in the Jade Balance Realm, and several demon gods were killed on the spot. Among them, Heavenly Ape Demon God, although he escaped the demon soul, followed the demon gods and retreated back to the Demon Realm at the last moment, but disappeared shortly after returning to the Heavenly Ape Mountains.

A large mountain range left by a demon god is a big piece of fat, which naturally causes other demon gods around to covet it. However, no news of Heavenly Ape Demon God's death has been transmitted, so the most popular thing at the moment is testing.

This kind of testing is mainly done near the Heavenly Ape Mountains. The demon gods of several other mountain ranges secretly commanded and sent their subordinate demon saints to test Heavenly Ape Mountains.

Among them, even other demon gods who went to the Jade Balance Realm, and even the Devour Heaven demon god who had his tail broken and injured, all intervened.

For the demon clan, there has never been such a thing as allies. What they have is absolute power and interests.

Situations like Heavenly Ape Mountains are still in the trial stage. For the other demon gods who fell in the Jade Balance Realm, their mountains of power have completely fallen into fighting and snatching.

But in the memories of the demon kings who robbed and killed Han Yi, the memory of Undying Ancient City does not appear to be chaotic at all, but rather a smooth transition quickly.

Today's Undying Ancient City Lord has been replaced by another demon god. This demon god is called Profound Yin Demon God.

This demon god is so mysterious that even his race is not known to outsiders.

However, according to the confirmation of other demon gods in Undying Ancient City, the current master of Undying Ancient City is indeed Profound Yin Demon God.

What happened here is unknown to outsiders.

As for the management of Undying Ancient City, Profound Yin Demon God never came forward, but was managed by the deputy city lord of the original ancient city.

There are four deputy city lords, two of whom died in the Jade Balance Realm, and two more demon gods were selected, making up four deputy city lord demon gods.

Therefore, on the surface, the entire Eastern Region, and even the entire Shaking Light Realm, knew that Undying Ancient City had changed to a mysterious master, Profound Yin Demon God. Moreover, this Profound Yin Demon God was also recognized by the demon gods in other ancient cities, but they knew nothing about Profound Yin Demon God.

The fall of Undying Demon God did not bring the chaos of the past transition period to this ancient city. Instead, it was so calm that even Demon Realm was surprised. This made the entire Demon Realm more curious about the identity of Profound Yin Demon God. People kept trying it, but nothing was found.

Han Yi digested the soul shadow memory and continued to fly to Undying Ancient City. Along the way, Devour Heaven Mountains, Heavenly Ape Mountains, Thunder Wolf Mountains, Black Flood Dragon Mountains.

After crossing four mountain ranges in succession, flying out of the Black Flood Dragon Mountains, a vast plain came into view.

At the edge of the Black Flood Dragon Mountains, more than a hundred kilometers away, a huge ancient city was built on a vast mountain range.

This ancient city is bigger than Shu Capital and Qian Capital, and is only smaller than Eternal Rest Immortal City that I saw in the Shattered Immortal Realm.

Undying Mountains, Undying Ancient City.

Across a long distance, Han Yi could feel that there was a majestic power entrenched in the depths of that ancient demon city. That power faintly surpassed the peak of god transformation. It was the power of this ancient demon city.

It may not be appropriate to say strength, but spirituality is more appropriate.

This ancient demon city, in the long years of demon clan, began to breed a certain spirituality. This spirituality is more instinctive, rather than the spirituality possessed by all races of creatures or magic weapon arrays.

A moment later, Han Yi approached the ancient city. The aura on his body suddenly changed and he was promoted to the late stage of Demon King. Then, he put away Immortal Boat, fell down, and walked directly into the ancient city.

The ancient city is naturally guarded, and the people on guard all started as great demons, and the captain is at the level of a demon king.

After entering the ancient city, Han Yi saw a world belonging to the demon clan. This world, full of monsters Lu Li, made Han Yi feel a bit unreal.

He saw a spiritual snake carrying a plate, walking out of the kitchen, placing the spiritual fruit spirit wine on the plate on the restaurant's guest table, and said softly, "Guest, a pound of ten-year-old Bai Zhenguo, and a pot of twenty-year-old sapphire spirit wine, please use it slowly."

He saw a black bear nearly two meters tall on the guest table. He nodded, his eyes were deep in thought, and he was obviously very preoccupied. He picked up the wine bottle, drank it all in one gulp, and sighed softly, as if he was troubled by his spiritual practice.

He saw a canine monster walking upright. This dog beast was walking out of a certain attic where elixirs were sold. He was holding the storage bag on his waist, observing the surrounding area with vigilant eyes, and carefully blended into the group of monsters.

He saw a fox girl with three tails behind her, standing in front of a brand new loft, shouting loudly, soliciting customers, but the demons passing by were obviously more interested in the fox girl, but when they saw the loft plaque clearly, they were afraid and stayed away.

Yaoguang, the ancient city, thousands of demons, and myriad appearances.

"Sir, my lord, come in and take a look. Our store is newly opened. Everything is 20% off. Spirit fruit, spirit wine, blood pills, Demon-Transforming Pill, everything is available. It will definitely meet your needs, sir."

Han Yi was about to leave, but the sharp-eyed fox girl saw a slight pause and immediately came up to her and started to sell her.

What surprised Han Yi was that the fox girl not only lacked the scent of a monster, but had a rare fragrance. You know, although he was disguised as a bull monster at the moment, his five senses still felt like a human being.

and.

Since entering the city, more than 80% of the monsters he has seen are monsters, and the rest are big monsters and monster kings.

But the monsters in this ancient city are different from the monsters of the Jade Balance Realm.

The monsters Jade Balance Realm and Han Yi have seen are basically closer to "beasts" than "demon". They are beasts that grow wildly.

The monsters in this ancient city are more "demon" and are members of the monster civilization.

Moreover, the monsters here are all fluent in human language and can communicate through words. They are not like the monsters in the Jade Balance Realm who need to remove the bones in their throats before they can speak.

Han Yi knew about this situation as early as Green Snake Demon King and the soul shadows of more than ten demon kings killed on the road.

In the Shaking Light Realm, there is an elixir called Demon-Transforming Pill. This elixir is the basic elixir of this world. The effect of Demon-Transforming Pill is not reflected in the cultivation level, but after taking it, it can make ordinary monsters remove the cross bones in their throats, and unlock the wisdom of the monster in advance. From then on, it turns from a "beast" to a "demon".

The ordinary monsters in Green Snake Demon Stockade are all the monsters that have taken Demon-Transforming Pill. However, the environment of Green Snake Demon Stockade's monsters is more brutal and rough than that of Undying Ancient City. The monsters there naturally do not pay more attention to etiquette than the monsters in this ancient city.

It is precisely because of Demon-Transforming Pill that the number of demons in this world is so exaggerated. The number of great demons, demon kings, demon saints, and even demon gods that have emerged is much greater than the number of monks of the same level in other immortal worlds headed by humans.

For example, the number of demon gods in the Shaking Light Realm is more than twenty in the Eastern Region alone. This number is equivalent to the number of powerful gods in the entire Jade Balance Realm.

However, demons are cunning and have certain cooperation based on interests and strength. For example, this invasion of the Jade Balance Realm was led by Undying Demon God. Even though he is the city lord of Undying Ancient City and is the most powerful demon god in the East Region, nearly half of the demon gods did not respond to his call.

As soon as Han Yi thought came to mind, he was attracted by this fox girl. She could come out to solicit business, so naturally her mind was smart. With a turn of her spiritual eyes, she already understood Han Yi's doubts.

"This must be your first time coming to the ancient city, sir."

"The fragrance on my body is a kind of spiritual fruit medicine powder called Ten-Mile Fragrance. You can buy it in the store."

"In addition, sir, you can rest assured that I, Heavenly Fox Pavilion, am a peripheral store of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan. The training resources involved in the store are all available and will definitely satisfy you."

"Sir, can you please go inside and take a look? It won't take up much of your time. If you see a suitable spiritual object, it can also help you. What do you think?"

"Even if there is no suitable spiritual object that the adults value, I have the final say and can give you a bottle of Ten-Mile Fragrance as a gift."

This fox goddess has a charming look, a look in her eyes, and a gentle voice. She swings the fox tail behind her, and there is an indescribable agility. If she closes her eyes and hears these words, Han Yi thought she was in the Myriad Immortals Pavilion. In front of her is a certain beautiful and soft-spoken female shopkeeper.

Han Yi moved in his heart, nodded, and walked into the attic where the plaque read Heavenly Fox Pavilion under the fox girl's eager eyes.

He was a strong man nearly two meters tall at the moment, with a strong demon king aura. As long as he was not unlucky enough to bump into the demon god head-on, or meet some powerful demon saint who had the power to see through his true identity, he believed that he would never be recognized.

This charming fox girl welcomed Han Yi into the building, and there was another fox girl who looked like her. After saying hello, she walked out of the attic and started a new round of shouting and soliciting customers, which made Han Yi curious.

"I, Hu Bai, that is my sister, her name is Hu Qing."

"My lord, please come this way."

Han Yi nodded, followed him up to the second floor without saying anything.

"Sir, do you have a favorite spiritual creature?"

Han Yi nodded, shopping is not an end, but a means.

"I am Devour Heaven Mountains, the leader of Bull Demon Stronghold. My name is Niu Dali. I came to Undying Ancient City this time mainly to buy a powerful magic weapon."

"Your Majesty, do you have any magic weapons like sticks?"

"In addition, I am also planning to stay in the ancient city for a while. In this regard, I also want to get some information from your Majesty."

In fact, Han Yi has no shortage of resources for cultivating immortals, but many of his magic weapons are not suitable to appear in the Demon Realm, such as the Demon-Suppressing Sword awarded by Emperor Great Qian, such as his own Green Duckweed Sword, such as Demon-Slayer Broken Sword.

These swords all have traces of human monks and cannot be taken out in public, otherwise they will be easily suspected. Once suspected, they may be exposed. With his cautious attitude, this loophole is naturally expected.

Therefore, Han Yi plans to use the weapon that the bull demon is good at, the stick magic weapon.

As for Spirit Stone, Han Yi crossed four large mountain ranges and killed more than ten demon kings. Among them, there were two demon cultivators in the later stages of the demon kings. They also made a lot of money, so Spirit Stone could naturally pay for it.

Han Yi has decided that if it is not necessary, he will not take Jade Balance Realm's things out from the original Qiankun Ring to prevent others from noticing.

Therefore, he followed his own strategy and wanted to buy the magic weapon of the demon cultivator, so he would take it from the demon cultivator. The demon cultivators who killed him were all living bodhisattvas.

When Hu Bai heard Han Yi's words, her heart moved. The tone and demeanor of this bull demon showed that she was not an ordinary demon king. This deal would definitely make her a huge profit.

Thinking of this, her eyes became brighter.

"Sir, you have come to the right place."

"However, sales of magic weapons and above can only be negotiated with the deacon of the branch. Please wait a moment, and I will ask the deacon to come over."

Han Yi nodded. After all, this fox girl is just a great demon. She naturally has no right to participate in transactions involving magic weapons or more.

After a while, Hu Bai led an old man over. This old man was about seventy years old. At first glance, he looked like a human being. However, although the demonic aura on his body was slightly dull, he was undoubtedly the demon king.

"This is my Heavenly Fox Pavilion butler, Lord Hu Ping."

"Hu Ping Master, this is the Bull Demon Master. He wants to buy a stick magic weapon and plans to stay in the ancient city for a while. He can inquire about the news by the way."

The old man Hu Ping nodded, took Hu Bai's words, showed a signature smile, and said to Han Yi.

"It turns out to be Devour Heaven Mountains's fellow Bull Demon Daoist. Fellow Bull Demon Daoist, the old man Hu Ping has been appointed as the deacon of the Heavenly Fox Pavilion. Do you have any requirements for the level of the magic weapon you need to purchase?"

Han Yi naturally has requirements, and he is not surprised by the title Hu Ping calls him. In this world, people usually address each other based on their identity.

Han Yi is the village leader of Bull Demon Stronghold, and others call him the Bull Demon Demon King, or the Bull Demon Village Master, or the Bull Demon Daoist Fellow.

"I want to buy a stick-type magic weapon of the high-grade magic weapon level." Han Yi responded in a deep voice.

Hu Ping stroked his white beard, smiled, and turned his hand gently. A Jade Butterfly appeared in the palm of his hand. He placed Jade Butterfly on the table between the two of them. A trace of evil spirit popped up and connected to Jade Butterfly. An image appeared on top of Jade Butterfly.

In the image, there is a giant stick that is purple in color and glowing with cold light.

"This is a top-grade magic weapon, Violet Frost Staff. It comes from the Ancient Li Demon Ape family, and Ancient Li Demon Ape is the most powerful weapon-refining family in our Eastern Region. I don't need to say more about the magic weapon produced by it. Fellow Daoist Bull Demon should know how precious it is."

"Sale price: 150,000 high-grade Spirit Stone."

The image changed. This time, it was a black giant stick. Mysterious runes were carved on the giant stick, revealing a strange and demonic aura.

"This is also a top-grade magic weapon, Black Demon Staff. This magic weapon comes from a Ancient Demon ruins in the northern region. The material and performance are not inferior to Violet Frost Staff."

"Sale price, top grade Spirit Stone, 120,000 yuan."

The old man Hu Ping did not continue the introduction. It would be inappropriate to give too many choices to the guests. Taking out two high-quality magic weapons can already prove the strength of the Heavenly Fox Pavilion.

Han Yi nodded. These two magic weapons are both good. His eyes moved and he asked suddenly with curiosity.

"By the way, Butler Hu, last time the demon god invaded Jade Balance Realm, did you bring back the magic weapon of the human monk?"

"Are their magic weapons more powerful?"
