Chapter 1375: Primitive Mystic Realm
“She has powerful backers?”
Jiang Yi’s brows knotted. He had already categorized Xuanyuan Lingyan as someone that he wanted to stay as far away as possible. He utterly disliked ladies that were cold, arrogant, and had status and wealth. If he could, he would try his best to avoid contact with Xuanyuan Lingyan.
Lord Ba, however, did not seem to mind at all. He looked on as Xuanyuan Lingyan left and then chatted idly with Jiang Yi for a few moments, praising him. He seemed to just want to commend Jiang Yi as a capable man that had a bright future. Jiang Yi was helpless and could only banter with Lord Ba for a while. He was grimacing internally, however. If Jiang Xiaonu had not appeared, Lord Ba would probably not even look him directly in the eye, right? However, this world was that practical and materialistic; Jiang Yi had long gotten used to it.
Lord Ba continued for a while longer and then left for the Demon-Killing Pavilion. Jiang Yi asked Commander Liu to send Lord Ba along while he turned to He Wei and asked, “What does a Hunting Envoy do?”
“I am not sure…”
He Wei was not clear either. Jiang Yi motioned as He Wei hurriedly went out to make some inquiries and soon returned; he had even brought someone familiar back. Gu Mu had actually come along. He knelt heavily and said rather agitatedly, “Master, I have returned alive!”
“Keke!”
Jiang Yi smiled. Although Gu Mu was a soul slave and was previously his enemy—after spending some time together with Gu Mu, the animosity he felt for Gu Mu had dissipated. Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, “It is good that you had returned safely. Please stay within the castle at ease. You will be in charge of all internal affairs. Let the Black Deity go and cultivate instead.
“Black Deity!”
Jiang Yi shouted as the Black Deity came walking in. Jiang Yi ordered, “You are to go and cultivate in peace. Hand over everything to Gu Mu. Please breakthrough the Demon G.o.d Realm first.”
“Understood, Young Master!”
Black Deity nodded as he brought Gu Mu with him and handed over all his tasks to Gu Mu. He Wei then said, “Jiang Yi, this… Hunting Envoy is actually just a nice-sounding name and nothing else. It ent.i.tles you to visit all the Demon-Killing Pavilion Branches in the Earth Emanations Domain and for you to report directly to the General Pavilion if you discover anything amiss. Beyond that, it does not give you any power…”
“Oh, oh!”
This was something that was within Jiang Yi’s expectations. As he was still very weak, this t.i.tle had probably been given to him on account of Jiang Xiaonu, right? He had become the Divine Eagle City Lord and had helped the Demon-Killing Pavilion gain some face; this was just icing on the cake.
“Alright, I am heading to the tribe to cultivate. I leave all matters here in all of your hands!”
Jiang Yi did not bother about anything else anymore. He spoke a few words to He Wei and was just about to head out. He Wei, however, looked confused as he asked, “Why do you need to go to the tribe to cultivate? You have been given a hundred thousand battle merits, and you are now a Demon-Killing Battle King. You have also been named a Hunting Envoy. You are now ent.i.tled to enter the Primitive Mystic Realm once a year and can stay there for up to three days. The Primitive Mystic Realm’s heaven and earth spirit energy is extremely concentrated. It is even more concentrated than the best secret cultivation room in the city.”
“The Primitive Mystic Realm? Jiang Yi blinked and asked, “Where is this Primitive Mystic Realm? Can I enter for free? Is it dangerous?”
“It is absolutely safe!”
He Wei explained, “While I do not know where the Primitive Mystic Realm is, it seems that you can be teleported directly into it from the Demon-Killing Pavilion. You can ask any commander, and he will know what to do.”
Jiang Yi became excited as he asked He Wei to summon a commander to come over. After a while, a man named Commander Chen came. After Jiang Yi made his inquiries, all was made clear. He was also very agitated. No wonder the people in the Higher Domain were so strong; there was actually such an amazing place.
There were many special mystic realms in the Higher Domain. However, all the mystic realms had been divided and owned by different factions; normal people couldn’t enter them.
The Primitive Mystic Realm was the lowest-grade mystic realm. However, one cannot enter no matter how many divine roots he possessed; only battle merits could buy one’s pa.s.sage. Demon-Killing Battle Kings would enter free of charge once a year. However, they could only stay there for three days.
The Primitive Mystic Realm was already present at the time of the creation of the world; it was the most primitive place. There were many fascinating things inside. The commander had not gone into specifics but asked Jiang Yi to enter himself to find out. The heaven and earth spirit energy inside was a hundred thousand times that of the outside world. Cultivating one day inside was equivalent to cultivating a hundred thousand days outside; it was very powerful. Many G.o.d Kings desperately took on a.s.signments to acc.u.mulate battle merits just to enter the Primitive Mystic Realm.
Unfortunately, it was very hard to use battle merits to enter this place. The entrance fee each time was five hundred thousand battle merits. Even a Demon-Killing Battle King required an extremely long time to gather that amount of battle merits. After all, battle merits were used on a daily basis for everything else as well.
“Go!”
Jiang Yi’s heart palpitated. To be able to entire this place for free; how could he miss such an opportunity? He gave a few instructions and immediately left the Jiang Manor, with Xiao Leng following suit to protect him like a ghost floating about.
Jiang Yi did not bother with Xiao Leng and left just like that. However, along the way, he noticed that many were looking at him as if they were staring at a monster. Many people had recognized him and had fallen to their knees in fear. Jiang Yi walked for a while and then decided to ask Xiao Leng to bring him along. Xiao Leng’s speed was too fast; many did not even get a good look, and the duo left the city in a jiffy. They then went to the Divine Eagle Tribe below, entering the Demon-Killing Pavilion.
“Greetings to Lord Hunting Envoy!”
The one guarding the door was Elder Bu, someone that Jiang Yi was acquainted with. Seeing Jiang Yi, Elder Bu had been startled but then hurriedly went on his knees. Jiang Yi smiled faintly and pulled Elder Bu to his feet. “From now on, you do not need to greet me like this. You can just call me Jiang Yi. I want to go to the Primitive Mystic Realm; please lead the way.”
“This way, my Lord!”
How could Elder Bu call Jiang Yi by name? He looked emotional as he brought Jiang Yi to the innermost corridor. Even before they had entered, Lu Hong had caught up with them. Lu Hong said respectfully, “Lord Hunting Envoy, are you planning to enter the Primitive Mystic Realm to cultivate?”
“Of course! Is there a problem?” Jiang Yi asked.
“Of course not!”
Lu Hong smiled slightly and explained, “Lord Hunting Envoy, you had gotten a hundred thousand battle merits and had immediately been promoted to a Demon-Killing Battle King. You are ent.i.tled to one free entry. Furthermore, you are now a Hunting Envoy, and you have gotten yet another free entry a year. However… as the opportunity to enter the Primitive Mystic Realm is too precious, I propose that my Lord, you should cultivate until the Demon-Killing Battle General Realm before entering. If not, it would be too wasteful.”
Jiang Yi desperately wanted to increase his strength at the moment. Hearing that he had two free pa.s.ses, he did not hesitate any further. He waved a hand and said, “I want to enter now. I would like to trouble a.s.sistant Pavilion Lord Lu to send me in.”
“Alright then!”
Lu Hong could only nod helplessly. He brought Jiang Yi and walked into a side hall. There was no other decor in the side hall except for a huge Teleportation Formation. There was also a Demon-Killing Battle King standing guard. Seeing Lu Hong, the guard slightly bowed once and then again at Jiang Yi and Xiao Leng.
“Prepare to activate the Teleportation Formation!”
Lu Hong ordered. He then turned and addressed Jiang Yi. “My Lord, you cannot talk too loudly within the Primitive Mystic Realm and cannot unleash any attacks. You also cannot affect any others inside. If not, you would be immediately killed by the formidable martial artists protecting the realm. After you enter, you need to cultivate as much as you can and try to realize the true essence of heaven and earth inside. Every second in this place is priceless. In three days, you will automatically be teleported out.”
Jiang Yi nodded, thought for a while, and then asked, “Oh yes, do you guys have a way to check on the Stellarsky Domain? I want to make sure that it is safe and sound!”
Lu Hong thought for a moment and said, “This is easy. You only have to send a request to the General Pavilion for other Hunting Envoys to take note. You have this right as the Hunting Envoy. I will take care of this matter. My Lord, please cultivate with ease.”
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi was completely at ease as he entered the Teleportation Formation. The Demon-Killing Battle King guard activated the Teleportation Formation as Xiao Leng sat cross-legged to protect it.
If this Teleportation device was destroyed, Jiang Yi would probably not be able to return. The Primitive Mystic Realm was not actually in the Earth Emanations Domain. If that happened and Jiang Yi was teleported to some other domain, Xiao Leng would be accused of dereliction of his duty. As for him—an Earth Emanations Pavilion member—sitting cross-legged in the Demon-Killing Pavilion’s territory, he did not mind at all. The Demon-Killing Pavilion would probably not dare to say or do anything about his presence.
Buzz!
Jiang Yi felt a white light flash as he suddenly lost his sight. His head became heavy and groggy as well as if he was seasick.
Furthermore, the white light shone for more than four hours. When Jiang Yi was almost about to lose consciousness, he realized that the white light had finally vanished. A strange and desolate aura hit him as his heart skipped a beat. It seemed as if he had been teleported into the legendary Primitive Mystic Realm.
