Shangyang Inner Landscape.
"Looks like you're not from my domain, junior brother!" Shen Yue Ru looked at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning nodded. "Senior sister, do you know about the Ten Domains?"
"The Ten Domains?" Shen Yue Ru glanced at him. "You know about the Ten Domains too? You know quite a lot!"
"I read a little about them in ancient texts," Jiang Ning said.
"The Ten Domains was a term from the Primordial Era. There are no Ten Domains anymore!" Shen Yue Ru shook her head. "I don't know much about them either. Even the Crimson Radiance Sword Sect has few records on the subject. Much of the information was erased by some mysterious power! You're only the second person from beyond this domain I've met."
"Who was the other?" Jiang Ning looked puzzled.
An extraordinarily handsome man with nine tails surfaced in Shen Yue Ru's mind. She shook her head. "You could call him your senior brother! He's a demon blessed with the good fortune to obtain a true disciple token of the Shangyang Immortal Sect."
"A demon?" Jiang Ning immediately caught the crucial detail in her words.
"Mm." Shen Yue Ru nodded. "A great demon who's taken human form, with pure Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox blood. His strength is absurd."
A great demon who's taken human form!
Those words made Jiang Ning's heart tighten.
A demon with over a thousand years of cultivation was a great demon, capable of taking human form.
At that stage, though, it was difficult to conceal its nature. Its body would still bear obvious signs of its species.
Only after accumulating over three thousand years of cultivation and surviving a lightning tribulation could it truly assume human form and blend in among humans without a trace.
Such a demon was a demon king.
