The Demon Prodigies
The Ancient Realm of Creation is said to be a secret realm that existed High Antiquity times. The owner who created this secret realm is so ancient that it is impossible to trace, and the name of the secret realm is also unknown.
The only thing we know is that there are many fortuitous opportunity within the secret realm. If young talents of the Demon Race are lucky enough to enter the secret realm, they can directly advance a major level without any side effects, greatly reducing their cultivation time.
Therefore, the Demon Realm named the secret realm "Creation".
In addition, there are various High Antiquity and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures existed only in ancient times. With the transition from ancient to modern times and drastic environmental changes, some of these rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which have strict requirements for their growth environment, have become extinct and cannot adapt to the current environment.
These extinct heavenly materials and earthly treasures can only be found in High Antiquity, secret realms.
If it weren't for limitations in cultivation level, even a demon king would want to enter the secret realm to seek fortuitous opportunity.
"Fairy, have you ever heard of the Ancient Realm of Creation?" Lu Yang asked, naturally asking people from High Antiquity times about matters of High Antiquity.
"The descriptions do match a few of the secret realms I've come across, but none of them are called the Ancient Realm of Creation."
"The names are different now than in ancient times; perhaps they have simply changed."
Three pure-blooded humans quietly landed in the distance and walked to the vicinity of the secret realm's entrance.
Before the secret realm was even open, most of the major demon clans had already arrived. The three of them had visited the ancestral graves of these clans before and were quite familiar with them.
If you were to take out the Immortal Fairy's recipe, you could basically find the names.
Among these great clans, the Dragon and Phoenix clans are the most prominent. They are the two largest races among the Demon Race, and countless Demon Race follow them.
The dragon has nine sons, and the Chaofeng clan, Qiuniu clan, Baxia clan, and others all look up to the dragon as their leader.
The dragon prodigy of this generation is named Ao Yue. He appeared in human form at the entrance of the secret realm. He had dragon horns on his head, a handsome appearance, and wore a yellow robe woven with gold and silver threads, which was seamless.
With a clear phoenix cry, the demons looked up and saw a dazzling array of colors emanating from the feathers of various birds in the distance.
The Chongming Bird Clan, the Bifang Clan, the Qingluan Clan...
Flying at the forefront were several colorful phoenixes.
The Phoenix is the king of birds.
The bird landed and transformed into human form, a bright-eyed, beautiful young woman with black hair and red eyes, full of vitality, named Jiang Shishi.
Among the elders who came with Jiang Shishi, there was one whom all three of Lu Yang knew: Jiang Shan.
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had met Jiang Shan at the scene of the forged Phoenix Blood Stone crime. Jiang Shan had been taught a lesson by the people of the Ask Dao Sect. When he learned that the two of them were from the Ask Dao Sect, he was very enthusiastic.
As for the third senior sister, she was the one who taught Jiang Shan a lesson back then.
Lu Yang and his two companions had also visited the ancestral tombs of the Dragon and Phoenix clans; in fact, they could be considered Lu Yang's primary targets for investigation.
He wanted to know the whereabouts of the Dragon Clan's prodigies and the Phoenix Clan's prodigies, hoping to find clues in their ancestral tombs.
Unfortunately, things weren't that simple. The Immortal Fairy used her divine sense to scan both races in detail, even figuring out their foundations and discovering many High Antiquity secrets that neither race knew.
Still no clues found.
Besides the dragon and phoenix clans attracting attention, there are many other Demon Race with sworn enemies, constantly at odds.
For example, the conflict between the Heavenly Dog Clan and the Jade Rabbit Clan is well-known in the Demon Realm.
The Celestial Dog Clan has a long-standing legend about celestial dogs eating the moon, while the Jade Rabbit Clan used to live on the moon.
They just randomly ate the Jade Rabbit Clan's home, and that's how they made enemies.
"White-haired and barefoot, resembling a monkey, could it be Zhu Yan?"
"And that one dressed simply and unassumingly, is he the Qiongqi clan's prodigy who has never shown his face before?"
"I heard that he voluntarily went to the Human Race's Landing Money Merchant Guild to learn the ways of business, without asking for wages. The guild is worried that after he finishes his studies, he will return and establish his own guild in our Demon Realm, seizing the Landing Money Merchant Guild's territory, so they have been refusing to let him join!"
"What I've heard is that the Qiongqi tribe is plagued by poverty, and the Land Money Merchants Association is worried about being implicated, so they don't even dare to take free labor?"
"It's definitely a rumor. The Qiongqi Clan has always been known for its false and negative news. There's even a legend that High Antiquity immortal suggested the Qiongqi Clan be renamed the Prosperous Wealth Clan or the Rich Noble Clan. That sounds like a lie."
That makes sense.
"Look! That's the prodigy of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan of Qingqiu! Just like in the legends, every smile and gesture of his is captivating!"
The prodigy of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is named Su Lian'er. Dressed in white, her nine white tails sway behind her. Red eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes adds a touch of allure. Although she looks to be about the same age as Lu Yang, she already possesses a captivating charm.
Many Demon Race prodigies surrounded Su Lian'er, their expressions filled with infatuation.
"I've heard that the High Antiquity nine-tailed fox was incredibly beautiful, with legends of her beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, and the moon hide its face in shame."
"She does resemble her ancestor somewhat," the Immortal Fairy scoffed.
"Truly so beautiful that fish would sink and geese would fall from the sky, the moon would hide and flowers would blush?"
"More or less," the Immortal Fairy said, pursing her lips.
"It was springtime, and the flowers were in full bloom. The nine-tailed fox and the tengu were fighting by the lake. Their magic was so powerful that the fish in the lake were frightened and darted to the bottom. The geese didn't have time to escape and were caught in the attack, burning to a crisp as they fell to the ground with a crackling sound."
"The nine-tailed fox used the moon to create an illusion, and the tengu almost fell for it. In desperation, he used the Heavenly Transformation Technique and swallowed the moon whole."
After the two finished fighting, the ground was a mess, and the flowers were withered.
Lu Yang: "..."
This isn't quite the scene I imagined.
"After the great battle, people said that the nine-tailed fox had a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, and the moon hide and flowers blush. I have always suspected that this legend was spread by her herself."
"After all, back when Ying Tianxian organized high-level cultivators to learn how to maintain their prestige, the Nine-Tailed Fox was quite engrossed in it."
The Immortal Fairy disdained the Nine-Tailed Fox's petty tricks.
The High Antiquity nine-tailed fox was ranked among the ten beauties of High Antiquity, but in terms of appearance, she could not compare to the one who was the High Antiquity beautiful of the ten beauties.
The Ten Beauties of High Antiquity is a list compiled based on a combination of appearance, strength, and the subjective evaluation of the immortal fairy.
The Immortal Fairy unequivocally puts herself first.
As far as Lu Yang knew, based on their closeness to each other, the Immortal Fairy ranked the two prodigies, Dragon and Phoenix, and the believer Qinghe, second to fourth.
The Little Qiongqi Jin Caiwei and the High Antiquity Nine-Tailed Fox are both among the Ten Beauties, but their rankings vary depending on the Immortal Fairy's mood.
Lu Yang thought to himself that it was fortunate that this was a list that the Immortal Fairy had made up after she got to know him, just to boast about it.
If this list existed in High Antiquity times, these ten people would probably have fought tooth and nail to compete for the ranking.
That's incorrect. There are nine people. The Immortal Fairy proved her Dao through strength, making her the undisputed number one contender.
"Fairy, did you learn how to maintain your high-class image with Ying Tianxian?"
The immortal fairy raised an eyebrow, her brows raised in a defiant manner, exuding great confidence.
"As the head of the Five Immortals of High Antiquity, every move I make has profound meaning. Why should I learn from others?"
At this moment, the spiritual space transformed into a tropical rainforest, and the immortal fairy, dressed in animal skins and a grass skirt, possessed a primal, wild beauty.
Looking at this scene, Lu Yang couldn't see any elegance or sophistication in the fairy.
