A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality (Chapter 1001-Chapter 1200)

“Yes!” The other elder flew off as soon as he gave his reply.

“In addition, you’ll need to inform the disciples outside of the city to be careful. The suppression of the Sea Calming Bell will only last a half-hour at most. After that, it’ll be over a hundred years before we’ll be able to use it again. After the elapsed time had passed, the disciples are to immediately return to the city and seal off the secret teleportation formations. We can’t have the demons use them to invade!”

“As you command!”

With a string of commands uttered, the other elders began to move and carry out her orders.

...

Hundreds of kilometers away from the icy city, a large group of high-grade demons arrived on top of a small ice mountain.

They were at the very edge of the North Night Palace’s protective grand formation. As they looked at the glacial mist flying in front of them, the metamorphosed demons wore a solemn expression.

These demons clearly belonged to two groups. One group numbered about a dozen and were surrounding a tall old man and a short child. The other group consisted of over twenty and were escorting a slender silver-clothed woman.

But oddly enough, these demons all looked quite ordinary. Apart from a few discrepancies in their appearance, they were no different than human cultivators. And even stranger was how each group looked at each other with contempt.

The larger group of demons wore hateful expressions and clothes made of fur. There were even those that left their chest uncovered.

They carried a large assortment of weapons in either their hands or back. They also hung storage pouches made of hide on their waist. While it was unknown why they didn’t keep their weapons there, these demon beasts emitted violent intent as they gazed at the other group.

The two groups of demon beasts faced one another with a clear gap between them.

But if any cultivator were to come across them, they would fearfully run away.

They were all metamorphosed demon beasts at grade eight and higher. The old man, the child, and the silver-clothed woman, in particular, were grade ten demon beasts.

Such power would likely be able to instantly crush any of the ten great sects of the Righteous or Devilish Dao. High-grade demon beasts were already more powerful than their equivalently-ranked cultivator counterparts.

The black-robed old man amongst them had a stern and squarish face with spirited eyes; his grey hair faintly glowed with azure light, overall producing an aura of self confidence.

Next to him was the boy that appeared seven years old with a delicate, nearly otherworldly appearance. His irises were faintly red and he wore a faint smile.

The silver-robed woman facing him had snow-white skin and beauty capable of toppling nations.

However, this gorgeous woman was escorted by many formidable high-grade demons, who didn’t dare to meet her gaze. They looked down as if in fear.

The old man said with a chuckle, “Fairy Feng, I didn’t expect that these North Night Palace cultivators were truly willing to attack. They actually released the glacial Qi they were accumulating for nearly a thousand years. I’ll have to see how they respond when they encounter another great enemy in the future.”

The woman’s expression stirred and she coldly said, “Fellow Daoist Qing, why do you ask despite knowing the answer? The North Night Palace cultivators do not know that our objective this time isn’t the Glacial Quintessence, so it is natural for them to hold nothing back. Otherwise, if our line of defense is broken, it won't matter how much glacial Qi they store."

The child then opened his mouth and spoke with an aged raspy voice, “However, I am quite surprised to see that Fellow Daoist Feng had personally made an appearance. For over two thousand years, you’ve entered seclusion in the icy depths.”

The silver-robed woman shifted her gaze to the child and calmly said, “If it were for anything else apart from passage up to the Spirit Realm, I wouldn’t have left. Didn’t you also send your incarnation over here?”

The child narrowed his eyes and chuckled, “I didn’t expect you to readily agree with my proposal! How surprising! It seems you’ve been dissatisfied with North Night Island since long ago and have thought about exterminating Fairy Ice Soul’s line of cultivators in the mortal realm. Fellow Daoist Feng, you are relying rather heavily on the power of our Myriad Demon Valley!”





Chapter 1097: The Sea Calming Bell


Without betraying the slightest emotion from her voice or face, the silver-clothed woman said, “In the past before Fairy Ice Soul ascended, she made use of her grand abilities to freeze over the Ice Depth Mountains for over a hundred years and forced us to avoid the North Night Palace cultivators to a certain degree. But after so many years have passed, I have no choice but to take action now that the matter relates to ascension to the spirit realm. Rather, isn’t Brother Che worried about losing your incarnation after putting so much effort into developing it?”

The child let out a cackle, “If it is as you say, this trip will be well worth it even if there must be sacrifice. I only didn't expect for the most possible location for a spatial node to be located in spatial tear inside North Night Palace’s Spirit Void Hall.

If it weren’t for the fact I sent men to investigate this several times, I wouldn’t have personally taken action. After all, the North Night Palace is quite powerful. They will not be easily destroyed.”

The silver-robed woman’s eyes flickered to the boy, “A spatial node would only be able to continue to exist until now in a spatial tear as large as the one inside Spirit Void Hall. I’ve heard you say that you’ve already checked the other area and found nothing? If we find nothing here as well, what do you plan on doing from now on?”

The boy was silent for a moment before letting out a cold laugh, “It’s very simple. I’ll just continue in my search for spatial nodes. In the past, the ancient cultivators managed to find it for themselves. Why can’t I do the same?”

“But we do not have much time left. It is said you were the descendant of an ancient demon from the Spirit Realm. Not only are your abilities vast, but your lifespan is much longer than other demon beasts. But even you must feel your time running thin after all these years. Didn’t you already use a secret technique to seal your true body and prolong your life?”

“Again, why do you ask something you already know the answer to?” The child’s expression sank as if hurt by what she said.

The silver-robed woman sighed and looked at the grand formation in the distance with a lost expression, “You can’t continue to ignore the problem. You don’t have much time left. A few days ago, I acquired information about the Five Dragon Seas. Eccentric White Deer had perished from age. He is a descendant of a heavenly spirit beast and cultivated ever since the ancient battle against the cultivators.

Ordinarily when one’s lifespan becomes bleak, they seal their true body, but that is life without purpose, leading to an unavoidable death.”

With a strange light flowing from the “That’s why I am willing to take any risk to find any spatial nodes. If Fellow Daoist Phoenix is willing, how about we work together?”

“Let’s wait until after you find the spatial node! North Night Palace will not be so easily defeated!”

“Please don’t worry about that, Fairy Phoenix. In the past, our Myriad Demon Valley have launched attacks several times against their city of ice, forcing the human cultivators to hide in Spirit Void Hall each time. We’ll be relying on your abilities to use the spatial tear in Spirit Void Hall.

“That reassuring. Our Ice Phoenix Clan’s innate abilities to tear space shouldn’t disappoint you!” The woman replied with a smile.
