Sword in Hand, Entering Demon Territory [Bonus Chapter 2]

For Chen Nianzhi, this was merely a minor incident.

His deep incursion into the Demon Race realm was solely for the Ren-Water Crystal within the Ren-Water Earth Vein of Heavenly Python Lake.

Every ten years, a Ren-Water Crystal is born in the Ren-Water Earth Vein of Heavenly Python Lake. So far, no new Demon King has been born. He plans to take this opportunity to obtain the Ren-Water Crystal he has accumulated over the years.

Strictly speaking, it was actually quite dangerous, but Chen Nianzhi was highly skilled and daring.

As long as it's not Demon King in front of him, he can kill even a powerful demon in the Purple Mansion Late Stage with a single sword stroke. Since there is no Demon King in Heavenly Python Lake, he can naturally move freely.

He moved with incredible speed, reaching Heavenly Python Lake in just a few days.

At such a speed, even if the Demon Race wanted to send a message, they wouldn't have enough time, since they didn't have a treasure like the Horizon Communication Mirror.

When Chen Nianzhi arrived at the Lakeheart Island Heavenly Python Lake, the Demon Beast in the lake finally realized what was happening and fled in all directions in a frenzy.

"Huh."

Chen Nianzhi's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. She hadn't expected that after forty years, several Purple Mansion Demon Beast would be born again in Heavenly Python Lake.

Leading the pack was the Black Black-Horn Python Black-Horn Python, whose aura was growing ever stronger. Its bloodline was extraordinary, and it was almost ready to transform into a dragon.

The transformation of its bloodline allowed the Black-Horn Python to make great progress in its cultivation, and its strength has now reached the Eighth Purple Mansion Layer.

"If this fellow were to break through to the Golden Core realm, he might transform into a Black Flood Dragon Treasure Ship."

Chen Nianzhi's pupils narrowed slightly; if she encountered this menace, she would chase after him and eliminate him.

That Black-Horn Python Bu Fan bloodline and was even stronger than a cultivator at the peak of the Purple Mansion. It actually managed to escape by taking advantage of the complex terrain in the water.

"Snort."

Seeing the beast escape, Chen Nianzhi had no choice but to direct his killing intent at the other Purple Mansion Demon Beast.

He killed a Mid-Purple Mansion realm demon crocodile, and only abandoned his plan to go on a killing spree after the other Demon Beast dispersed.

The Heavenly Python Lake stretches for thousands of miles, and even with his cultivation level, it would be difficult to find all the hidden Demon Beast.

After slaying a Purple Mansion Demon Crocodile and collecting its Demon Core, Chen Nianzhi ventured into the Ren-Water Earth Vein. However, he found no Ren-Water Crystal within the Ren-Water Earth Vein, but instead obtained two water-attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

I also received a portion of Ice-Jade Condensed Essence, a portion of high- Higher Vehicle Ren-Water Treasure Gold, and two third-tier Shell Pearl and forty-odd Tier 2 Shell Pearl.

The Lineage also raised some Azure-Spirit Clam, but the Ren-Water Essence in Spirit Isle Lake was insufficient, so the Azure-Spirit Clam could never reproduce and grow, and could only produce a few Shell Pearl every ten years.

At this moment, obtaining these Shell Pearl can be considered as replenishing some of the Lineage's inventory.

Although he did not find the Ren-Water Crystal, Chen Nianzhi was not disappointed. He went straight to the Spirit Pool Spirit Pool and found two Ren-Water Crystal there.

Logically, this Ren-Water Earth Vein should be able to nurture four Ren-Water Crystal every forty years, but now there are only two, most likely consumed by the Black-Horn Python.

After obtaining the treasure, Chen Nianzhi did not linger and flew back to Yu Commandery on his sword that very day.

In just four days, he returned to Yu Commandery, and surprisingly, not a single Purple Mansion Demon Beast dared to stop him along the way.

He breathed a huge sigh of relief after returning to Yu Commandery.

Although he was invincible on this journey, he was actually a little scared. After all, it was the heartland of the Demon Race race. If he was held up and the Golden Core realm Demon King came after him, he would probably be in big trouble.

But everything went surprisingly smoothly.

With his Mid-Purple Mansion realm cultivation, he single-handedly charged into the heart of the Demon Race realm, slaying a Purple Mansion Demon Beast along the way and taking back a specialty of Tier 4 Spirit Vein.

Along the way, he was invincible, with countless demons retreating and no Purple Mansion Demon Beast daring to block his path.

Before even the Golden Core realm Demon King could react, he had already achieved his wish and returned to his Lineage. After this trip, the surrounding human, demon, and monster races would probably be shocked by his imposing presence.

Sword cultivators value this indomitable spirit. With such a feat, even Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivators will likely have to concede to him in the future.

For him, this journey made him even more resolute and sharp. When he activated his flying sword, it was effortless. Every slash he made carried an unstoppable force.

This is the spirit of a sword immortal, and an unwavering belief.

On Qingyuan Mountain, Chen Nianzhi handed over the Ren-Water Crystal and the Ren-Water Treasure Gold to Chen Xianye.

When Chen Xianye heard that he had ventured alone into the Demon Race realm and returned with these treasures, his eyes practically lit up.

"Uncle Nianzhi, one day I will become someone like you."

"Then you'll need to cultivate diligently."

Chen Nianzhi smiled and patted his head. This guy was incredibly brave and certainly had his own unique charm.

After handing over the Purple Mansion Inner Core to Chen Qinghao and instructing him to deliver it to Azure Sun Mountain, Chen Nianzhi finally prepared to set off for the Heavenly Hut Continent.

"..."

Heavenly Hut Continent is located southeast of the Ji Continent, while the Chu Kingdom is situated on the northwestern border of the Ji Continent. To reach Heavenly Hut Continent, one would have to traverse almost the entire Ji Continent.

Chen Nianzhi flew across the Chu Kingdom on his sword, traversing the Azuregreen Mountains, and arrived in the Yan Kingdom after more than a month.

The Yan Kingdom was also known as the Million-Li Yan Lake, which was connected to the Ji Continent River, which stretched for nearly ten million li, separating the States of the Cang Kingdom, Ji Kingdom, and Yan Kingdom.

He flew across the vast river, which was a hundred thousand miles wide, on his sword, and arrived at the Ji Kingdom Ji Kingdom, where he decided to rest for a while.

The Ji Kingdom is the core territory occupied by the Ji Immortal Clan. As a top-tier Nascent Soul Immortal Clan, the Ji Immortal Clan actually possesses Teleportation Array.

Only Spirit Vein at the Tier 4 Golden Core realm realm or above can barely set up short-distance Teleportation Array covering millions of miles.

To set up a long-distance Teleportation Array spanning tens of millions of miles, Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein is required.

Legend has it that within the Tier 6 Ancestral Vein of the Dao Lord Holy Land, there is an ultra-long-distance Teleportation Array that can span hundreds of millions of miles of void.

The Ji Clan didn't have many Teleportation Array, but they could still travel tens of millions of miles to reach distant beyond the void.

For a Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Clan like this, there is absolutely no need to set up a short-distance Teleportation Array spanning millions of miles.

Nascent Soul True Lord can travel a million miles in a single night; in his eyes, the entire Ji Continent Nascent Soul True Lord be traversed in just a few days.

Moreover, they have Tier 5- or even Tier 6 Treasure Ship, so traversing a million miles of void is not a long journey, and the cost incurred will be much lower.

Therefore, even the wealthy and powerful Ji Immortal Clan only set up Teleportation Array arrays between a few of their own Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein.

Chen Nianzhi rested in the Ji Kingdom for three days. After making some inquiries, she discovered that the Ji Clan's Teleportation Array was not connected to the Heavenly Hut Continent.

The reason is that the two continents are too close, only five or six million miles apart. Setting up a long-distance Teleportation Array would be wasteful, while setting up a short-distance Teleportation Array would be impossible.

Foundation Establishment cultivators can't afford the teleportation fee, but Purple Mansion cultivators can easily cross it, so they might as well just fly there on their swords.

"Looks like we'll still have to cross the Heaven's Spine Mountains."

Left with no other choice, Chen Nianzhi sighed and could only continue flying towards the Heavenly Hut Continent on her sword.

After traveling at various stops and for about 800,000 li, Chen Nianzhi finally arrived at the Heaven's Spine Mountains.

Looking at the vast mountain range before him, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Legend has it that the Heaven's Spine Mountains are vast and boundless, a mountain range with a name and reputation even in the Eastern Wilderness. Only after seeing them today do I understand their terror.

If the vast Vast Expanse Marshes for hundreds of millions of miles could rank among the top three famous mountains and rivers of the Eastern Wilderness, then the Heaven's Spine Mountains would certainly be among the top dozens.

Compared to it, the Azuregreen Mountains stretching for millions of miles is nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

The Heaven's Spine Mountains, like the spine of an ancient Demon God, stretch across the heavens and earth, extending for over 30 million miles, spanning several vast continents, and dividing this magnificent Great Wilderness.
