Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 992: Chapter 988: Reporting to the Authorities

In terms of knowledge, the original host was far behind Song Lianshuang.

Neither the Ghost Bone Flower nor the Ghost Bone Sect were anything the original host had heard of, let alone remembered.

Yet Song Lianshuang recognized them at a glance.

”The Ghost Bone Sect is an Evil Sect, practicing Evil Techniques, and was destroyed tens of thousands of years ago. Could this place be the remnants of the Ghost Bone Sect... ? No, that’s not right.”

”How is it not right?”

”The Ghost Bone Flower needs a Secret Technique to be activated, and its blooming period is extremely short. It was crucial for the cultivation of the Ghost Bone Sect. With this flower, the disciples of the Ghost Bone Sect could cultivate at an astonishing speed!”

Leng Tieya asked, ”How long does the Secret Technique need to activate before it can bloom?”

”The Ghost Bone Flower takes at least ten years from planting to blooming.”

”Ten years...” Leng Tieya thought about the Black Pearl in his hand.

It was obtained ten years ago.

Leng Tieya’s gaze swept around the surroundings.

The expansive Stone Chamber before him was nearly two hundred square meters, covered with skulls, among which grew one hundred and twenty Ghost Bone Flowers.

His eyes focused on a spot.

At the center of the Stone Chamber was a circular platform, only a foot high and a meter in diameter.

It was easy to overlook.

His gaze rested there.

The platform was covered in skulls, unlike the surrounding ones.

Instead of the gruesome white of the other skulls, it was as white as Mutton Fat Jade.

The flowers on it were larger, each as big as two, with a brighter sheen.

Through Super Sense, these luminous flowers appeared as a mass of golden liquid.

As if formed by molten gold.

The appearance of this golden liquid invigorated him, stirring an unexplained desire.

A desire to devour it, thereby strengthening the soul and oneself.

Song Lianshuang said, ”Brother Leng, this is definitely not a temporary place for the Ghost Bone Sect. It has been at least ten years, yet it remains undetected, which is indeed impressive.”

”What characteristics do the disciples of the Ghost Bone Sect possess for them to be labeled an Evil Sect? Is it solely because of these Ghost Bone Flowers?”

”The disciples of the Ghost Bone Sect seek to elevate their Realm through slaughter, absorbing the aura of the Demon Abyss.”

”Aura of the Demon Abyss?”

”Yes, when our souls return to the Demon Abyss, the Demon Abyss guides our souls, and the disciples of the Ghost Bone Sect can capture the aura momentarily leaked from the Demon Abyss at this moment.”

”Slaughter all the Demon Clan in the world?”

”Exactly, the disciples of the Ghost Bone Sect long to do so, and countless Demon Clan experts have perished at their hands, ultimately leading to a joint force extinguishing them. Unexpectedly, they have resurfaced, with remnants of the Ghost Bone Sect still existing.”

”Let’s go.” Leng Tieya said slowly, ”Let’s head to the Great Heavenly Demon Palace as soon as possible.”

”Report to the Great Heavenly Demon Palace?”

”Since the Ghost Bone Sect is so formidable, leave it to the Great Heavenly Demon Palace. It’s unnecessary for us to bear this burden.”

”... All right.” Song Lianshuang said with a smile.

She also agreed with this approach.

The Ghost Bone Sect is extremely troublesome; otherwise, it wouldn’t have warranted a joint extermination.

Even so, they couldn’t be completely eradicated, illustrating their troublesome nature.

”Let’s go.” Leng Tieya said in a deep voice.

There was no unusual power around. Staying here might guard against the disciples of the Ghost Bone Sect.

His intuition told him it was better to leave.

The two of them drifted out of the cave.

Song Lianshuang looked at the cave entrance: ”If they return, they will find they have already been exposed.”

”It depends on whether they can escape the pursuit.” Leng Tieya said, ”Traces have already been left behind, and it’s impossible to completely erase them.”

Song Lianshuang nodded lightly.

Not long after they left, a Light Gate appeared, and Chu Liezhao emerged on the third mountain outside the two peaks.

Chu Liezhao sat in a patch of woods, opened his Super Sense, and Insight looked this way.

...

Leng Tieya and Song Lianshuang quickened their pace, striving to reach the Great Heavenly Demon Palace promptly.

The Great Heavenly Demon Palace was not located in a deep mountain forest as people imagined.

Rather, it was situated in Beiyuan City.

However, Beiyuan City itself was on a plateau, basking in bright sunshine.

Within Beiyuan City stood a majestic and towering complex, which was the Great Heavenly Demon Palace.

Within a hundred meters around the Great Heavenly Demon Palace, there was nothing; it was only beyond that range that buildings began to appear.

It is said that Beiyuan City was built relying on the Great Heavenly Demon Palace, constructing this city around the palace.

As one of the most prosperous cities in the Demon World, Beiyuan City boasts over ten million Demons, extremely massive.

And in Beiyuan City, experts abound; it is said that most of the top-notch experts of the Demon World are gathered in this city.

When Leng Tieya and Song Lianshuang entered Beiyuan City, they felt like country bumpkins entering the city.

Song Lianshuang’s expression remained peaceful, but her eyes darted around, feeling that she didn’t have enough eyes to take it all in.

The attire of the Demons in Beiyuan City, their unique aura, the surrounding shops, and the dazzling array of goods left her in awe.

Leng Tieya’s gaze remained calm.

No matter how prosperous Beiyuan City was, it couldn’t compare to the prosperity he had known in his previous life, thus it didn’t surprise him.

Walking straight through the bustling crowd, he arrived before the majestic complex at the city’s center.

This complex was constructed on a hundred-meter-high platform with one palace after another, arranged in an orderly manner, forming a cluster of buildings.

They walked through the street to the open space before this complex.

Leng Tieya took out a Token from his waist, raising it high.

Two handsome young men floated down and landed in front of them.

They cupped their fists in salute: ”Greetings, Senior Brother.”

Leng Tieya cupped his fists in return.

Song Lianshuang took out a Token from her sleeve, different in color from Leng Tieya’s.

The two young men, seeing this Token, breathed a sigh of relief and cupped their fists with a smile: ”Ah, so it’s the new Junior Sister.”

Song Lianshuang cupped her fists, smiling.

Leng Tieya said solemnly, ”I have important matters to report; please lead the way, Junior Brothers.”

”Senior Brother, please follow us.”

The two quickly adjusted their expressions to seriousness.

They floated up, leading Leng Tieya and Song Lianshuang onto the high platform.

Before them was a spacious plaza, followed by palace upon palace scattered around.

They led Leng Tieya and Song Lianshuang directly to the outside of the second large palace.

This palace was about three hundred square meters, ten meters high, with a pavilion-style roof, and its glazed tiles glistened in the sunlight.

It was majestic, grand, and luxurious.

It was very quiet around, with only the sound of the wind whistling and the sound of copper bells under the flying eaves.

Besides the four of them, no other Demon experts were seen.

As the two youths led the way, they introduced themselves and casually gave an overview of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace.

The Outer Palace and Inner Palace were separate and not in the same place; the Inner Palace disciples were at the far north, and here were the Outer Palace disciples.

Regarding mundane affairs and trifles, the Outer Palace was responsible, while the Inner Palace focused solely on Cultivation.

They led Leng Tieya and Song Lianshuang to meet the Outer Palace Chief, Yu Zhengsheng.

They stopped outside a large hall.

The hall was ancient and simple, with a plaque on the door reading ”Ruyi Hall.”

One of the youths went inside to report, and shortly afterward, he came out, leading Leng Tieya and Song Lianshuang into the hall.

The hall was wide and bright inside, with several meditation mats on the floor. In front of the mats was a statue of a middle-aged man.

The statue was lifelike, with a sharp aura.

At first glance, it seemed like a living, breathing Demon expert standing before them.

An old man with white eyebrows and a white beard sat on a meditation mat, appearing to be dozing with his eyes closed.

Upon hearing the commotion, he slowly opened his eyes, and a burst of electric light suddenly illuminated the hall.

His electric gaze swept over Leng Tieya and Song Lianshuang, finally stopping on Leng Tieya’s face.

”Greetings, Chief Yu.” Leng Tieya cupped his fists.

Song Lianshuang followed suit.

Yu Zhengsheng nodded, smiling as he stood up.

Leng Tieya said, ”Sister Song.”

”Yes.” Song Lianshuang responded and began to recount what had happened on their journey.

In a slow and gentle voice, she narrated their journey in a captivating manner.

”The Ghost Bone Sect...” Yu Zhengsheng said slowly, ”They have indeed resurged, but they are nothing to fear, as people have already been sent to monitor them secretly.”

Leng Tieya frowned: ”Aren’t we going to deal with them?”

”Actions will be taken, but not enough experts have been gathered yet,” Yu Zhengsheng replied, ”The Great Sky Demons are either in seclusion or traveling, and having only the Heavenly Demons take action is not very well assured, so we’re stuck here.”

Leng Tieya said, ”Even our Great Heavenly Demon Palace doesn’t dare to act?”

”For the sake of prudence, we’ll wait for the two Great Sky Demons to return from their travels before taking action.”

”When will they return?”

”They said half a year, but it was two years ago when they said they’d return in half a year.” Yu Zhengsheng said helplessly: ”Junior Brother Leng, without the Great Sky Demons, we can’t act.”
