Chapter 178: Chapter 75: I haven’t gotten on the sculpture yet! 【Seeking for Monthly Tickets!】_1

Night fell.

The four of them sat around the bonfire.

Xu Ziyang’s face was serious, "Something is off about today. Generally, only common Iron Demons are found around the outskirts of Immortal’s Lake. As we venture deeper, we encounter Copper Demons and Silver Demons. Gold Demons only exist in the depths of the lake. Under normal circumstances, their territories do not change significantly."

"Then today..." Shang Ziliang was confused.

"Yes, today we encountered both Copper and Iron Demons, which is an extremely rare situation," said Xu Ziyang, furrowing his brow, "In the past, only when a Disaster Demon was born would the other Demons flee due to innate fear. The surge of vicious Demons into the outside world is one of the major signs of the Disaster Demon’s emergence."

A Disaster Demon was no trifling matter.

It commanded the power of the Seventh Realm, and although the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands were not lacking in masters of this realm, any superior disciples, regardless of their sects or even the evil entities, were bound by certain restrictions upon reaching this realm.

They must adhere to some rules, whether they chose the path of righteousness or evil, they were all law-abiding.

But the Disaster Demon was different.

It was born for slaughter, with its sole desire being harvesting the vital essence of living beings. Such a ruthless entity from the Seventh Realm could inflict immense destruction with just one of its kind.

Complete genocide was a matter of time!

"However, a Disaster Demon only appeared two hundred years ago. Normally, such a short time wouldn’t be enough for the birth of a new Disaster Demon." Xu Ziyang voiced his thoughts.

Since he was leading the team this time, he was responsible for the safety of the others and had to consider all possibilities.

"Could it be just a coincidence?" Shang Ziliang suggested with a smile, "After all, we didn’t encounter any more Demons afterwards."

"We’ll continue to observe. If signs point toward Demons emerging from the depths, we’ll immediately return," Xu Ziyang firmly stated.

If a Gold Demon were to approach their vicinity, he might not be able to handle it.

"Then don’t we always need to traverse the entirety of Immortal’s Lake if we were to find the Immortal Ascending Grass?" Chu Liang asked with some confusion.

He had been curious about it all day.

"There’s no need," Chen Su explained for Xu Ziyang, "The Immortal Ascending Grass is distinct from other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Typically, spirit plants possess the instinct to gravitate toward beneficial environments and away from harmful ones, even developing extraordinary protective measures. But the Immortal Ascending Grass is the exact opposite. If it exists, it tends to move toward human energy. If it’s here, we don’t have to venture deep into the Immortal’s Lake. We just need to circle around its outskirts, and it would come to us on its own."

"The Immortal Ascending Grass can move? And it’ll approach humans on its own?" Shang Ziliang was surprised, "This seems like..."

"It’s as though it’s destined to be consumed by humans," Chu Liang cut in.

"Correct," Chen Su nodded lightly, "The Immortal Ascending Grass nourishes the plants around it and helps cultivators refine the Golden Core. It is the kindest of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."

"Indeed," Chu Liang agreed.

Speaking like this, it seemed like the Immortal Ascending Grass deserved a medal of honor.

After chatting briefly, Xu Ziyang gestured to the Golden Winged Eagle, "I’ll stand as lookout tonight. You three should rest in turns. Every hour, one of you will keep watch with me."

"Hehe, I don’t need rest!" Shang Ziliang finally found his chance to shine, thumping his chest at once, "Senior Brother Xu, I’ll keep you company all night."

"No," Xu Ziyang shook his head indifferently, warning with a stern tone. "All of you are at the Divine Consciousness Realm. Extended periods without rest will deplete your essence and spirit. It may not be a problem back on Shu Mountain, but in this dangerous place, you must stay in peak condition!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Shang Ziliang was a little disheartened, but given his enthusiasm, he was arranged to be the first to stand watch with Xu Ziyang.

Meanwhile, underneath the Golden Winged Eagle’s protection, Chu Liang felt secure and started wondering if he could use the Golden Fur Beast as a shelter for sleeping when he ventures out in the wilderness in the future.

But on second thought, it seemed implausible.

With the Golden Fur Beast’s enormous head snoring loudly and possessing horrendous bad breath, it would be too difficult to sleep next to it. In the midst of sleep, he might even get crushed by it, which wouldn’t be worth it.

...

All around was quiet.

Instead of falling asleep immediately, Chu Liang sunk his consciousness and entered the interior of the White Pagoda, planning to secretly reward himself when the others were unaware.

Inside the White Pagoda, Big Head Baby popped out thick clouds of smoke, almost suffusing the entire space. The phantom image of the Copper Demon was imprisoned silently within. With no hesitation, Chu Liang pressed the "Refine" button.

Boom——

A flash of light, and a thin wisp of white light drifted out.

[Copper Demon Talisman]: It can allow the caster to obtain the copper demon’s blessing, possessing an equally hard body, strong strength, and increased agility, lasting for an hour.

Copper Demon Talisman?

Chu Liang has been deeply studying the ’Dao of Talisman True Meaning’ these days. After understanding all the basic runes, he started to come into contact with some complex runes. As far as he knew, there had never been a talisman in the Immortal Cultivation World named after the ba.

He would sometimes wonder, where did everything in the White Pagoda come from? Could it be that it, like him, does not belong to this world?

The functionality of this talisman seemed straightforward: it was designed to endow the caster with an all-round enhancement of a Copper Demon’s power, speed, and defense. Compared to the Spirit Cat Leaping Talisman that Chu Liang had seized earlier, this could be said to be a full enhancement.

Moreover, the Copper Demon Talisman...

This couldn’t help but lead to wild fantasies.

If he killed a Gold Demon some day, would there be a Gold Demon Talisman then? What if he killed a Disaster Demon...

"Huh?"

While he was deep in thought, a rustling noise came from a distance. Chu Liang suddenly stood up.

Before he could stand up, Xu Ziyang had already leaped into the air and shouted, "There’s a ba!"

The Golden Winged Eagle stood tall and spread its wings. These wings were not only its means of flight, but also its sharpest weapon! Almost invincible!

Shang Ziliang and Chen Su were also standing up on guard.

Then, they saw several dark shadows rushing from both sides. There were both Copper and Iron Ba. The sound of the wind being broken was constant, but they did not attack them. Instead, they just flew past them from both sides!

"Huh?"

The first reaction of the three in the Divine Consciousness Realm was somewhat puzzled. After all, ba had a natural desire for blood, so why didn’t they attack when they were in such close contact with people?

But upon seeing this, Xu Ziyang’s expressionChanged instantly!

"The only thing that can deter ba from being attracted by blood is a higher-ranking ba," he shouted, "There must be something wrong here. Get on the Golden Winged Eagle, we’re going to leave Immortal’s Lake!"

The Golden Winged Eagle’s feathers stood on end, seemingly forming an array of swords. Its sharp eyes pierced the darkness in the distance!

Hostility surfaced.

Whistling ——

The next moment, a golden light swooshed from that direction!

"It’s a Gold Demon! Get them out of here immediately!" Xu Ziyang hardly had time to shout before he had already summoned his Flying Sword to meet the attack!

a Gold Demon, equivalent to the power of the Sixth Realm, had suddenly appeared here!

"Roar!"

The Golden Winged Eagle immediately heeded the order and let out a long roar. It grabbed Chu Liang and Chen Su with its claws and turned to fly!

Shang Ziliang, who was a bit farther away, was desperately trying to catch up. But once the Golden Winged Eagle started to fly, how could he catch up to it?

So the Golden Winged Eagle paused on the spot, waiting for him to climb onto its back.

But just at this slight pause, there was a loud noise. Xu Ziyang’s figure had already been knocked back! Boom ——

Turned out that when the golden light was flying from afar, Xu Ziyang summoned his sword and extended his hand to launch a powerful Heavenly Sword Technique!

Facing a strong enemy in a life-or-death battle, there was no room for testing. The initial move had to be the strongest attack!

The Heavenly Sword Technique he displayed was even stronger than the one Jiang Yuebai had used the other day, given that he was now in the Fifth Realm. A gigantic sword light several feet long clashed head-on with the incoming golden light, causing a loud blast! The explosion spread out, shattering the Heavenly Sword Technique, and knocking Xu Ziyang dozens of feet away!

Meanwhile, Shang Ziliang, who was relatively closer, was also knocked over! He tumbled a few times before stopping.

Whistling ——

But with only a brief pause, that golden light rushed out again, heading for the Golden Winged Eagle!

The explosion had not caused any damage.

It seemed to know that among them, only the Golden Winged Eagle could outrun it. As long as it dealt with the eagle first, none of these people could escape!

"Golden Winged Eagle, run!" Xu Ziyang ordered without hesitation.

If he had been the only one left, he might have been able to escape. However, if the disciples in the Divine Consciousness Realm stayed with him, they would become a burden, and they all might die together!

The speed and strength of this Gold Demon were beyond imagination, always a blur, with no one able to see its body clearly.

The Golden Winged Eagle heeded the command and took off, darting off like an arrow off the string! Shang Ziliang, who was on the ground, picked himself up and chased after them frantically, like a dog off its leash, shouting:

"Eh! I haven’t gotten on the eagle yet!"
