Chapter 1272: Cliff Moon City
There was a hint of surprise in Liu Ming’s eyes. He learned a lot about Thousands Demons Continent from Mo Tian in the past few days.
The greatest power of the Thousands Demons Continent was naturally the central imperial, followed by the 4 great families that had their own territories.
But he didn’t expect that 1 of the 4 great families actually shared the same surnamed as him.
“The 4 great families are the Gao He Family, the Kong Xiang Family, the Liu Family, and the Long Family. The 4 great families are all over the Thousands Demons Continent. Even the central imperial has to take them into account. If there are no major changes in the Thousands Demons Continent after I left, then we should be at the Bing State under the Liu Family, but I can’t be sure about the exact location.” Mo Tian’s tone has returned to calm, and he said lightly.
“This is easy.” Liu Ming smiled, then he turned into a faint black light and flew down.
In a quiet room in the small two-story building near the mine, the Real Pellet State demon was sitting cross-legged on the ground. Streams of black air emerged from his body, then they were swallowed by him. He seemed to be practicing some kind of demonic technique.
The room was shrouded in a faint purple array, but at this moment, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of the Real Pellet State demon.
Real Pellet State demon suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the black figure in front.
The enchantment in the room showed no signs of being destroyed, but the figure just appeared like a shadow.
The Real Pellet State demon released his Divine Thought, but he couldn’t detect anything. He immediately stood up respectfully and bowed, “I’m Fen Yang. Greetings to senior. Is there anything I can do for you, senior?”
“Give me a map of the nearby area. The more detailed the better.” In the black figure, there was a buzzing sound from Liu Ming.
“Yes!” The Real Pellet State demon was startled, then he immediately responded.
He searched in the storage device with Divine Thought, and he soon handed over a black jade slip to Liu Ming with both hands.
Liu Ming took it over and scanned it with Divine Thought. It was really a detailed map. He nodded slightly, then his figure blurred and disappeared without a trace.
When the Real Pellet State demon saw Liu Ming leave, he let out a long breath. Sweat dripped from both sides of his cheeks. He cursed secretly in his mind at the same time.
The black figure just now is at least at the Real Pellet State later stage, maybe even a Celestial State powerhouse. Why did he come to such a remote place?
If he has other intention, I’m already a dead corpse now.
The Real Pellet State demon thought with a sullen face.
On a mountain peak dozens of miles away from the mine, Liu Ming’s figure gradually emerged. He was holding the black map jade slip in his hand.
He stuck the jade slip on his forehead and quickly found the nearest city.
“Cliff Moon City…” He muttered to himself.
Black air rolled out around him, and Mo Tian also emerged. He said with emotion,
“It seems that my guess is correct. This is Bing State. It has been tens of thousands of years since I left the Thousands Demons Continent, but it hasn’t been changed much.”
Thousands Demons Continent was divided into dozens of counties in total. Bing State is the most remote state in the southeastern part of the mainland.
“Anyway, let’s go to Cliff Moon City first.” Liu Ming put away the jade slip and flew into the distance.
…
After a few days.
On a plain not far away from the demonic crystal mountain range, Liu Ming’s figure was suspended in the sky. He looked at a huge gray city in front from a distance.
It was early morning. The purple demonic sun shone brightly in the sky. However, a large thick black cloud hung over the whole city, making the whole city look a bit dark.
The city wall was about 300 meters tall, enclosing the entire city in a huge oval shape. There were some demon soldiers in yellow armor patrolling the city wall.
In addition, in the very center of the city stood a huge gray stone pillar nearly twice the height of the city wall. It was surrounded by gray mist, and some mysterious demonic patterns could be vaguely engraved on the stone pillar.
At first glance, the whole city looked like a giant monster crawling on the ground, giving people a very majestic feeling.
“This is Cliff Moon City? I didn’t expect it to have such a scale.” Seeing this, Liu Ming muttered to himself.
“This is just a small frontier city. Only when you see the scale of the imperial city can you truly appreciate the profound heritage of the Thousands Demons Continent.” As Mo Tian said this, there was a hint of pride in his tone.
Hearing this, Liu Ming didn’t say much. He turned into a black light and rushed toward the Cliff Moon City.
After a while, Liu Ming arrived in front of the city gate.
On both sides of the city gate, there stood a 300 meters tall winged beastkin sculpture. The pair of ferocious giant eyes seemed to be watching the people entering and leaving the city gate, giving people an inexplicable sense of deterrence.
A team of demon soldiers in yellow armor stood at the gate of the city with solemn expressions and carefully checked the demons entering and leaving.
Liu Ming was secretly surprised. These demon soldiers were not very strong, but in terms of their level of well-trained discipline, they far surpa.s.sed those sect families of Middle Sky Continent and Savage Wild Continent.
The demons were almost the same as the humans in terms of body and appearance. Now that Liu Ming could easily mobilize the demon qi on his body, he was not afraid of being seen through.
He immediately activated Che Huan Totem to conceal the spiritual power fluctuations in his body, then he mixed in with the demons entering to enter the city without any hindrance.
As soon as he entered the city, rows of neat and orderly giant buildings immediately came into view.
These buildings seemed to be made of huge gray stone blocks, which looked orderly and magnificent.
The main road connecting the city gate was very wide. All kinds of demons went in and out of the buildings on both sides. Occasionally, some strange-looking beastkin carriages could be seen galloping back and forth, but these beastkin bodies were shrouded in demonic qi.
After looking for a while, Liu Ming expanded his Divine Thought, and he quickly grasped the general layout of Cliff Moon City.
After pondering for a moment, he immediately walked in one direction and soon came to another wide street.
This place was surprisingly much more lively than the main road. Both sides of the street were full of various shops.
In the following time, Liu Ming walked into some small and large shops from time to time, but when he came out, he often had a big bag of demonic crystals in his hand.
Half a day later, Liu Ming finally exchanged some of the spiritual materials in his hands for demonic crystals after visiting more than 10 shops.
After all, he almost couldn’t do anything without demonic crystals in the Thousands Demons Continent.
During this period, he also paid attention to the items sold in some shops. Most of which were ordinary materials and strange demonic weapons.
Speaking of which, on the way here, Liu Ming learned from Mo Tian that there was actually not much difference between a demonic weapon and a spiritual weapon, but the patterns engraved on it were different. The former was demonic patterns and the latter was spirit patterns, so the demonic weapons must be activated by demon qi. The power was much greater than that of a spiritual weapon.
Although he intentionally wanted to find a good demonic weapon, he couldn’t find one that he like.
Occasionally, some demonic weapons that seemed special were often outrageously expensive.
In addition, Liu Ming did not shy away from collecting some books that introduced information about the Thousands Demons Continent.
After he was busy all day, he found an inn to stay.
In the room, Liu Ming took out the books collected during the day and piled them up in front of him, reading through them carefully.
Time pa.s.sed little by little. The next morning, he had read all the books. He already had a relatively comprehensive preliminary understanding of the Thousands Demons Continent in his mind.
At this moment, Mo Tian emerged.
Liu Ming was no stranger to Mo Tian’s behavior, so he just greeted faintly.
“Here is the material list about reconstructing my demon body and upgrading Mountain River Pearl into an immortal magic weapon. Now that you have a preliminary understanding of the entire continent, you can pay attention to the materials.”
As Mo Tian finished speaking, he flicked a black light into Liu Ming’s forehead.
Liu Ming quickly checked it, but he said with a troubled look,
“Leaving aside the materials needed to upgrade the Mountain River Pearl, I have never heard of most of the materials you need to reconstruct a demon body. How long does it take to find them?”
“If replying on only you alone, it will be extremely difficult to gather all these materials, but there is a shortcut.” Mo Tian said with a chuckle.
Liu Ming’s expression changed, and he cupped his fist and said, “Senior, please give me some pointers.”
“This method is also simple. With your current strength, as long as you join a demon race family and rely on the power of the family to collect these materials, it is naturally much simpler.” Seeing this, Mo Tian said directly.
“Join a demon race family?” Liu Ming seemed to hesitate.
Since the beginning of his road of cultivation until now, although he had also joined Savage Ghost Sect and Taiqing Sect, he still basically maintained his own style, just because he didn’t want to be restrained.
“You don’t have to worry. The demon race family I let you join was founded by me back then. Of course, I know the details of it all too well. When I left back then, I had already left some measures behind… With my help, I believe that you will be able to take charge of this demon race family soon. You will never be restrained by anyone.” Mo Tian saw through Liu Ming’s mind and said with a smile.
“Then I will follow senior’s arrangement.” Liu Ming stroked his chin, pondered for a while, and then nodded slowly.
TL: Is it 1 of the 4 great families? Or another smaller family?
