Spirit Vessel

Elder Mu came to a pond inside another grotto with a manual scroll in one hand and a jade box containing a drop of blood in the other.

An old man was meditating on top of a bridge floating above a pond.

Spirit energy lingered around him, painting a dignified appearance. He slowly opened his eyes and said: “You have an important matter?”

“Take a look at this first.” Elder Mu threw the manual over, still feeling excited.

The old man didn’t have a big reaction at first but his expression gradually turned into one of shock. He read the manual three times over and said: “This can hide demonic presence.”

“I couldn’t sense anything from him, but maybe someone in a higher realm can.” Elder Mu said.

“Where did you get this from?” The old man knew that this was special if Elder Mu couldn’t sense it.

“We have to start with him.” Elder Mu tossed the box into the pond.

The old man opened the box and felt a monstrous demonic affinity striking him. There seemed to be an evil affinity as well. Waves of light emanated from his eyes but they were repelled, unable to see through the blood.

“This demonic affinity belongs to a first-generation bloodline.” The old man was ecstatic but didn’t show it on his face. He slowly closed the box.

Elder Mu said: “It didn’t seep into the jewel and nearly crushed it. I think it might be an ancient sacred bloodline.”

The old man took a deep breath and flew out of the pond, landing in front of the elder: “The jewel didn’t absorb it?”

“Indeed.”

“Where is he? I want to see him. Wait, let’s confirm the demonic affinity first in this bloodline. I’m rushing things.”

“Domain Lord, you’re going to central?” Elder Mu became emotional.

The old man in the pond turned out to be the domain lord of Season for half-demons.

Each domain was vast and had its own branch for half-demons. The location of the main one was very mysterious. It consisted of the strongest half-demons in Sixth Central. Only the domain lords knew its location.

“It’s too far away and I don’t have enough time. I’ll just go to the main branch for Crimson Territory.” The domain lord said.

Sixth Central was divided into various territories. Season Domain belonged to Crimson Territory.

Bi Ningshuai’s War Faction belonged to War Territory, more than ten territories away from Crimson Territory. This distance couldn’t be measured.

Each territory was ruled by a noble. The title was Territory Lord. They are the supreme existences in their jurisdiction.

Normally, one territory had ten thousand domains. After years and years, the initial divides were gone. Some realms have grown stronger and larger while others weakened. Some were taken over as well.

There were only 8,654 domains in Crimson right now. The others have disappeared into the river of time.

Elder Mu stood there in a daze even though the domain lord was gone. He then returned to his grotto.

“Brother Feng, you’re incredible. That’s a third-ranked badge after your first day but that manual is too valuable. If it isn’t for your seniority, you might have become a fourth-ranked half-demon right away.” Feng Wanxia still referred to him as Brother Feng but her voice was filled with respect.

“It’s more than enough, that’s half a month in here.” Feiyun was satisfied and thought that the members of the alliance had great solidarity.

“Hey, who’s your mother?” The crazy Grandpa Yu came over and grabbed Feiyun’s hand again, looking stimulated.

Feiyun was annoyed by the old man since he kept asking about his mother. However, the guy didn’t seem to be teasing him. Plus, he was old and had mental problems.

“Senior, why do you keep asking me this? I told you, I don’t know which race she’s from.” Feiyun said.

“Bra,t you can’t lie to me, I know your mom, you look exactly like her.” Grandpa Yu looked angry.

“You actually know my mother?” Feiyun was slightly startled.

“Obviously, your mom is Wang Erniu, your dad is Zhang Dasha, they ate at my house before.” The old man said with absolute certainty. [1]

Feiyun grimaced, wanting to beat down this old man if it wasn’t for his mental problems.

“Who’s your mother?” The old man suddenly grabbed his sleeve and asked again.

“Didn’t you say that she’s Wang Erniu?” Feiyun put on a forced smile. Seems like he had the memory of a goldfish.

Brat, you think I’m crazy? You can’t lie to me, your mom’s name is Wang Ermazi.” The old man thought that Feiyun was messing with him and became indignant. [2]

Feiyun pulled up his sleeves, ready to teach this old man a lesson.

Suddenly, someone ran in and shouted: “Meng Taiyue and Li Lang were beaten at the battle palace. Their dantian is broken, they’re crippled now.”

Several hundred cultivators in the alliance became alarmed after hearing this. All looked furious.

“It’s only a regular fight at the palace, how can someone be so cruel?”

“Are they purposely bullying half-demons?”

“No, in the beginning, Meng Taiyue, Li Lang, Zhan Yueming, and Ye Xiaomu only wanted to join the contest in order to win some spirit stones for the alliance. However, Meng Taiyue met a historical genius from his own clan. The two of them had a fight that kept on escalating. They picked the realm of death. Taiyue was strong but this genius was just too much. He easily suppressed Taiyue and destroyed his dantian. He even spewed out insults and said that half-demons are the lowest of the low, the most wretched animal. They’re not qualified to marry humans. Li Lang couldn’t stand this and also signed an agreement to fight to the death. He entered the realm but also lost. Zhan Yueming and Ye Xiaomu want to be next.”

The experts didn’t say anything after hearing “the realm of death”. Very few people chose this place to fight at the battle palace. They needed to sign an agreement before entering the realm. There was no responsibility for crippling or killing the opponent.”

“We’ll see how strong he is, this historical genius from the Meng!” A peak ninth-level Heaven’s Mandate ran out of the grotto. Several dozens more followed right behind him, looking quite aggressive.

“Brother Meng is prudent and not easily provoked, why did he agree to fight there?” Feiyun only knew Meng Taiyue for several days but could tell that he was experienced and calm.

“You don’t know, Brother Feng? Brother Meng and another daughter in his clan are in love. Once they were found out, even the upper echelon took note of this. They thought that he wasn’t worthy of her. Later on, The young lord of Firmaments City also liked her. In order to curry favor, the Meng agreed to let her be his concubine, the marriage is only several days from now. That genius from the Meng spoke some unsavory words because they thought that Brother Meng was a frog wanting to eat swan’s meat. That’s enough to anger him.” Feng Wanxia’s eyes were red. There was nothing she could do to help him against the monstrous Meng Clan.

“I see.” Feiyun stroked his chin, looking a bit interested. “Where is this battle palace? Let’s join in the fun and see how strong this historical genius is.”

1. These names aren’t flattering, clearly villagers without education. Erniu just means second daughter of the Wang. Dasha means big idiot

2. Ermazi means having pockmarks everywhere.
