Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

This time, Chu Xiu did not immediately strike ruthlessly as before, but frowned and landed in front of the three.

He initially planned to capture the three and interrogate them about the information of this place, but unexpectedly, when the three saw Chu Xiu, they showed no hostility. The monkey ghost even raised its hand in greeting, transmitting a trace of friendly intention.

”I am Profound Fire, greetings fellow Daoist.”

Communication between ghosts relies entirely on intention, requiring no language.

The giant and copper bull seemed as if their intelligence hadn’t awakened, showing no surplus reaction, but Chu Xiu also did not feel any hostility from them.

This bizarre scene made Chu Xiu and Jiang Miaoyin exchange glances, unsure of what was happening here, as the Demon-Exorcising Race, ghosts, and a peculiar copper bull were actually together.

Strangely, in this Hundred Demons Melting Furnace World where civilization is supposedly extinct, the monkey has given itself a Daoist name and appears quite courteous. If civilization were truly extinct, where could it have learned?

Thinking quickly, Chu Xiu secretly transmitted to Jiang Miaoyin: ”This place is strange, we should act discreetly.”

Jiang Miaoyin nodded promptly.

Chu Xiu turned to the peculiar monkey, cupped his hands and said: ”I am Qin Yu, greetings fellow Daoist. May I ask where you are headed?”

The monkey returned the greeting, saying: ”To You City.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu was even more amazed; there are cities here?

Having cities isn’t strange, but having them here is exceedingly odd. For on planets where civilization isn’t extinct, the Abyss cannot devour them, because civilization exponentially increases the variables of the world. Those worlds devoured by the Abyss only have beasts left, and are the same regardless of world level.

Even those high-level powerful beings are either bound or in slumber, only awakening when new variables are brought by the Awakened.

This monkey has clearly opened its intelligence, and hearing it speak of a city, how can such a place be devoured by the Abyss?

Chu Xiu only felt things getting stranger, he disliked the feeling of events being beyond his control, but maintained his composure, saying: ”Fellow Daoist, I am from outside, may I ask where this ’You City’ is located, and could you tell me about it?”

The monkey replied: ”Apparently, fellow Daoist has not long been ’reborn’. Honestly, I too have not been to You City, only know it’s the largest city in this Hundred Demons Melting Furnace, directly leading to ’Penglai’.”

The information in the monkey’s words was substantial, and Chu Xiu’s mind raced with thoughts. What does it mean by directly leading to Penglai? Is it the road to the outer world, and what is this rebirth?

He turned to the monkey and asked his doubts: ”Could you explain what ’Penglai’ is, and what ’rebirth’ means? Since you haven’t been to You City, how do you know how to reach it?”

The monkey chuckled and said: ”Penglai is the upper world here, located on the Holy Mountain. Entering it grants immortality, and even nearing it and inhaling a breath of Immortal Qi brings endless benefits.”

”Rebirth refers to the beings that were ’reborn’ in this world.”

”As for You City’s location, I don’t know either, but walking in this world, we’ll meet it someday, won’t we?”

The monkey’s words made Chu Xiu furrow his brow: ”So, you’re wandering aimlessly? How can you find You City this way?”

The monkey shook its head and said: ”Walking is also cultivating. A senior once told me that when cultivation reaches a point, You City will naturally be seen.”

This made Chu Xiu furrow his brow deeper, asking: ”Fellow Daoist, how long have you been walking this world?”

”I haven’t paid attention.” the monkey said.

Chu Xiu used his divine sense to carefully scan the monkey and indeed found, like the four from the Celestial Mechanics Guild, it was merely a corpse.

Though its body was filled with mutated flesh, some parts showed traces of the past, and from the signs of decay, it wouldn’t be surprising if it had been dead for a hundred years.

This peculiar ghost walked for so long without finding You City, where could he seek?

Chu Xiu even suspected the monkey might be making things up for entertainment.

Just as he was pondering whether to capture the three ghosts and interrogate them, suddenly, a cry sounded beside his ear: ”Senior, look!”

Chu Xiu looked up, his face showing surprise.

A mountain peak piercing the sky had appeared at the distant horizon without him noticing.
