Heavenly Emperor
First City
The Second Layer of the Sage Realm
Ren Yuu and Zi Ling were currently continuing to fly at high speed to a certain place namely the direction towards the Soul Emperor Territory of the Second Layer of the Sage Realm being led by the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign through sound transmission.
Passing through the unused place in the Second Layer of the Sage Realm, Ren Yuu and Zi Ling took quite a long time to come out. Both took almost a month before they left the area.
When it came out of the region, what Ren Yuu and Zi Ling saw was not the same as the one in the First Layer of the Sage Realm that looked a little arid.
Although the ceiling looked gloomy, the natural scenery in the Second Layer of the Sage Realm seemed to be alive, although it was not comparable to the human world.
In that place, there were many Demon beasts that lived in a beautiful place even though the demon beasts were the same as those in the First Layer or the Surface of the Sage Realm.
“Old Devil, is from this place still far from Soul Emperor Territory?” Ren Yuu asked through a voice transmission.
“Not really. In a few days with your speed you will arrive. Do you intend to pass through some big cities? If you want to take a detour, you need a longer time.” Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign said through voice transmission.
“City?” Inner Ren Yuu while rethinking seemed that the situation in the Second Layer of the Sage Realm was not the same as the First Layer of the Sage Realm.
“Is there a big city on this line?” Ask Ren Yuu again.
“Yes. There are two cities you must cross. One of them is not very big, but the second city you will cross is very close to the Soul Emperor Territory. Although the Soul Emperor Territory was not guarded, the city became an antidote for souls not to enter. If the souls went in there, they would definitely be able to thrive. This is what the Devils do not want.” Reply Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign.
Ren Yuu seemed to think for a while then raised the corner of her lips. He was a little interested in the abode of the demons. If he went to that place, he would indeed have to use the Devil's blood on his body to disguise himself. Also, if he could blend in at that place, it was certain that he might get important information.
The information from the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign was indeed useful. But it must be information from ancient times, not the present times. Even for all the rulers there as well as the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign would not know.
“Show the way to the first city.” said Ren Yuu.
Hearing that, the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign only directly pointed out the location without commenting at all.
Ren Yuu and Zi Ling continued to move. During the journey, the two instantly changed their appearance once again into demons. In less than half a day, a vast city was visible.
“Is that the city that the old devil said? Wait a minute, he said that it was us little? This city is as vast as one of the largest cities managed by the Heavenly Light Sect.” Zi Ling said and felt that the information of the Heavenly Slaughter Devil Sovereign was not true at all.
“Come in. It is likely that the city has evolved over time. This place is also suitable for us to collect important resources.” Ren Yuu said as he flew at full speed approaching the city followed by Zi Ling.
Upon reaching the city gate, the gatekeepers were also very numerous. Aside from that, they were all quite strong as the average of them had a Mid Exalt God Tier cultivation level.
No one cared about the presence of Ren Yuu and Zi Ling as both of them did indeed look like demons in general.
“100 Demon Crystals to enter into.” One of the guards stopped Ren Yuu and Zi Ling and directly asked for the amount of the entrance fee into the city.
“Quite expensive.” Zi Ling muttered slightly as she saw Ren Yuu give her 200 Demon Crystals.
The guard was slightly disgusted at Zi Ling's words because naturally he thought that for a Mid Exalt Tier God demon, that number must be very cheap. From this, the guard realized that Ren Yuu and Zi Ling were extremely poor for a demon of their level.
Ren Yuu could only be speechless when he heard what Zi Ling said. He shook his head and slowly walked into the city. If the road is slow like that, it may take several months to reach the end of the city because the city is very large.
“Ren Yuu, the demons in this city are very much strong. Very different from the First Layer of the Sage Realm that the Devils looked very retarded.” Zi Ling sent a voice transmission.
“Yes, apart from that, it seems that this city is indeed prosperous, just like the city inhabited by humans.” Reply Ren Yuu through voice transmission while gazing at all the places they passed by.
However, when they had spent more than ten minutes, Ren Yuu and Zi Ling were shocked when there was a shop trading something unexpected.
“Ren Yuu, they are.. man!” said Zi Ling in a very small yet very cold tone.
Ren Yuu's gaze could not be separated from a large enough shop either. In addition, on the edge of the shop glass, there are some humans who are given a price. Without even asking, he was well aware that the demons enslaved humans.
And Ren Yuu knew exactly where the human origin was because the emanating aura was more inclined towards the spiritual aura. Which meant, those humans were souls that condensed their bodies to almost 60%.
“How can this happen? Did the Demon Soul not capture those souls who were close to becoming human?” Zi Ling asked through a voice transmission with a tone of great disbelief. He already understood what the duties of the Soul Devils were so that they would not let go of the souls that condensed their bodies.
“Zi Ling, did you forget about that old demon story? He said that the demons did not want the humans to carry out the reincarnation cycle. Which means, demons practice other ways, and use souls for their needs, perhaps they are used for labor or a specific purpose.” Reply Ren Yuu through voice transmission.
Zi Ling put on a slightly grim face. He immediately predicted many things for the demons who used humans. And one of them, the possibility of the devil making souls who are almost human to war troops against the humans when the time comes. Just by looking at the Second Layer of the Sage Realm, he had also speculated that this way must have been more done in the Third Layer all the way to the Seven Sage Realms because it was there, the souls that enter must be stronger.
