Chapter 1369 - Chapter 1369 Chapter 573 Abyssal Demon Nest Heavenly Fate

Chapter 1369: Chapter 573: Abyssal Demon Nest, Heavenly Fate Divine Pupil_2 Chapter 1369: Chapter 573: Abyssal Demon Nest, Heavenly Fate Divine Pupil_2 This was indeed a key consideration for him.

However, the main reason he chose Han Yi was because Han Yi was not an Immortal Monarch but a Golden Immortal, and as a Golden Immortal, he possessed the combat power of an Immortal Monarch.

For this trip, his goal was aimed at a certain type of item suitable for the cultivation of Immortal Monarchs. If it had been another Immortal Monarch, disputes could easily arise, but with Han Yi, there was no such issue.

Using favors to facilitate Han Yi’s intervention was the safest, most prudent, and most cost-effective approach.

Of course.

When they had met earlier, Immortal Monarch Dongming had realized the extraordinary nature of Han Yi and regretted his decision, though he did not show this regret in his Immortal Thoughts.

As for what the so-called Abyssal Demon Nest entailed, it was not complicated.

The Wisdom Clan had nine major subordinate races, with the Abyss Demon Clan ranking first. Han Yi had the fortune to encounter them a few times in the past. These Abyss Demon Clan members were gigantic and extremely powerful.

One characteristic of the distant Abyss Demon Clan was that their place of cultivation was not an ordinary place; it required transforming a certain area into one suitable for their cultivation.

This transformed area, in the Daluo Immortal Realm, was known as the Abyssal Demon Nest.

This Abyssal Demon Nest was similar to the cultivation Cave Mansions of Immortals in the Immortal Realm.

However, unlike the Cave Mansion, inside the Abyssal Demon Nest there was a special treasure called the Abyssal Demon Crystal, which was essential for transforming the space into a suitable place for the cultivation of the Abyss Demon Clan.

The essence of the Abyssal Demon Crystal was the crystallization of the Tao Principle of the Abyssal Great World, extremely beneficial for the cultivation of Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Venerates.

Once an Immortal reaches the Immortal Monarch level, they comprehend over ten thousand Laws, and their Immortal Body, Immortal Soul, and Immortal Power can all be considered complete. The next stage of cultivation involves the Tao Principle.

The so-called Tao Principle is the rule of the Great Tao, much more profound than the Law.

By gradually integrating the Tao Principle into their Realm Heavens, one can stabilize and gradually transform towards the world, even towards the Great World.

And the Abyssal Demon Crystal is the crystallization of the Abyssal World’s Tao Principle, for Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Venerates, it is as crucial as Spirit Stones were during the Qi Cultivation Stage, making it one of the core cultivation resources.

After listening to Immortal Monarch Dongming, Han Yi suddenly understood; no wonder he had attempted multiple times to enter the Abyssal Demon Nest–all because of the Demon Crystal related to his cultivation.

After unsuccessful attempts, he even expended favors to invite Han Yi to help.

Moreover, since Han Yi was not an Immortal Monarch, his demand for the Abyssal Demon Crystal was not as urgent as other Immortal Monarchs, thus, this trip could avoid potential disputes.

“Abyssal Demon Crystal,” Han Yi uttered.

“Exactly, according to my investigations, there should still be quite a few Abyssal Demon Crystals within the nest. If we can enter, a thorough scavenging could yield even greater rewards,” Immortal Monarch Dongming stated solemnly.

At the level of Immortal Monarch and Immortal Venerate, one can establish a millennia-old dojo and become a master of that dojo in the Immortal Realm, generating intense cultivation concerns because their needs no longer involve merely Spirit Stones or Immortal Stones, but rather Strange Treasures that could facilitate the comprehension of Tao Principles.

The Abyssal Demon Crystal is one such treasure that assists in the comprehension of Tao Principles, no wonder Immortal Monarch Dongming was tempted.

“I encountered some difficulties on the outskirts of the Demon Nest, and couldn’t break in several times. With Han helping, the chances of breaking through would definitely increase significantly. Once inside the Demon Nest, finding the Demon Crystal could be a great opportunity,”

Immortal Monarch Dongming explained.

And this point was indeed true; for Han Yi, assisting in breaking into the Demon Nest was a way of repaying a favor, and afterwards, entering the Demon Nest and finding the Demon Crystal through his own strength, was also an opportunity.

Han Yi did not refuse and agreed.

Seeing this, Immortal Monarch Dongming breathed a sigh of relief.

He was just a regular Immortal Monarch, although among the ordinary Immortal Monarchs his abilities were above average, enabling him to retreat from a One-Star Star Lord of the Black Realm, but defeating one was also difficult.

Han Yi, however, had the power to slay an ordinary Immortal Monarch with a single strike within the Emperor Fallen Sky Pond two hundred years ago, and by now, he most likely had advanced further to reach the senior Immortal Monarch combat power level.

This was another reason why Immortal Monarch Dongming chose Han Yi; his strength was sufficiently formidable.

Immortal Monarch Dongming did not return to the Immortal Castle Cluster but took Han Yi directly to the destination of this trip, the Abyssal Demon Nest.

Three days later.

Immortal Monarch Dongming halted before a stretch of the void, his expression grave.

Han Yi followed beside him, his eyes swirling with red-gold light, which was different from that of two hundred years ago.

The Destiny Gold Pupil from two hundred years ago was a Divine Art at the “Know Life” level.

Over two hundred years, his Divine Art system had mostly upgraded from the “Know Life” stage to the “Xiuyun” stage, including this Pupil Skill.

The current Divine Pupil Skill, named Heavenly Fate Divine Pupil, was more than ten times stronger than the Destiny Gold Pupil. It also possessed the heaven-defying ability to initially trace cause and effect and alter fate.

Under the Heavenly Fate Divine Pupil, ahead in the void, there was an extremely deeply hidden spatial fold. At a glance, this fold contained layers upon layers of dense space, from which dark abyssal Demon Energy surged from its depths.

Had an ordinary Golden Immortal arrived here, they would have definitely failed to notice it, even if they possessed the Heavenly Fate Divine Pupil, as without deliberate observation, this spatial fold could easily be overlooked as a natural fluctuation of the void.

The location of this spatial fold was at an equal distance from both Daluo and Penglai, a spot difficult for ordinary people to reach. No wonder, after the Wisdom Realm withdrew, this Demon Nest had not been discovered immediately.

As Han Yi knew, when the Wisdom Realm withdrew, all the great Immortal Courts deployed powerful immortals to explore the void near the Daluo Immortal Realm, as if patrolling to ensure anything left by the Wisdom Realm was unearthed or thoroughly annihilated.

The region that Immortal Monarch Dongming brought them to was too far away and outside the scope of their search.

Seeing Han Yi’s expression shift slightly, Immortal Monarch Dongming knew he had noticed the anomaly in the space and said,

“I also stumbled upon this special space by chance and discovered a deeply hidden Demon Nest within.”

“At the periphery of the Demon Nest, there are Nine Venerated Demon Puppets, all at the Immortal Monarch level, I naturally do not fear facing them one by one; however, these Demon Puppets swarm together. Even if they are slain, they can instantly regenerate, making them difficult to absolutely destroy.”

“After several attempts, I learned through special means that these nine Demon Puppets are from the same body. Only by slaying them all within an instant can they be totally destroyed; otherwise, even if eight were slain, if the ninth still exists, the other eight can recover.”

“And the Demon Puppets draw energy from the Demon Nest. Until the Demon Nest collapses, the Demon Puppets cannot be eradicated.”

“Thus, I need Han to assist and join hands with me to slay them.”

Immortal Monarch Dongming explained with a solemn voice.

He had already mentioned this in the Immortal Thought he transmitted to Han Yi earlier, but stating it outright now naturally showed more sincerity.

“Demon Puppets!”

“Nine equivalent to the ordinary Immortal Monarch level Demon Puppets.”

Han Yi mused. He knew what the Demon Puppets were–though different Great Worlds follow different Tao Principles and popular cultivation paths, the path of puppetry was common among them.

In the Ancient Great World, there were Spirit Puppets, Immortal Puppets, and in the Eternal Wisdom Great World, there were similarly puppets. After the Abyss Demon Clan submitted to the Wisdom Clan, they utilized puppetry to create the Demon Puppets guarding the Demon Nest.

Details regarding the Demon Nest and Demon Puppets were recorded in the Xuancang Palace, accessible to Golden Immortals, let alone Han Yi who now possessed Immortal Monarch privileges and knew no less than Immortal Monarch Dongming.

“Since that’s the case, then let’s venture in.”

“Let me witness for myself what makes this Abyssal Demon Nest so formidable.”

Han Yi’s eyes sparkled with red-gold light, Qingping in hand, he took the lead and stepped toward the spatial fold ahead.

…

Just as Immortal Monarch Dongming and Han Yi arrived outside the void of the Abyssal Demon Nest.

In the Penglai Immortal Realm, within a deeply hidden mysterious Cave Heaven of the Dharma Origin Sect, a gaunt Taoist opened his eyes from seclusion.

“The aura of the Qingyan Knife.”

“It has finally appeared again.”

“This time, you won’t escape!”
