Chapter 113: Chapter 93: Heavenly Demon Imagination

Map, Returning to the Sect, Ning Yujing's Thoughts

Translator: 549690339

Han Ye took a Restoring Mind Pill, sat in a deep meditation on the spot, activating the Mind Stabilizing Technique to replenish the mental force he had just exhausted.

“What are the unique features of the Heavenly Demon Imagination Map?”

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the twenty-four murals in front of him that were exceptionally ancient and full of Taoist implication. He did not dare to stare intently anymore, afraid of being drawn into the murals and draining his mental power.

Chu Xianyu, who had read extensively and seen a lot, explained further when she saw that he was still in the dark,

“The Heavenly Demon Imagination Map, in fact, is the twenty-four majestic Divine Powers the Demon Lord Tongtian comprehended in the past. Each mural hides a legacy. Whether one can obtain the divine power depends on their abilities.”

“Demon Lord Tongtian dominated an era in ancient times, and his twenty-four special abilities are not only powerful but also extremely abstruse. Only twenty-four demon generals under him could learn them, and each could only master one.”

Han Ye stroked his chin thoughtfully and found this explanation somewhat familiar. He had a flash of insight and said,

“This…sounds quite similar to the twelve demonic envoys of Founder Bai Tian, doesn't it?”

Chu Xianyu gave a slight nod, “Indeed. The Demonic Sect's cult leader simply copied Demon Lord Tongtian. The twelve demonic envoys also had their own unique abilities. The cult leader attempted to imitate the ancients, and establish a new order in the cultivation world, but unfortunately, he failed in the end. The grand alliance of Immortal Gates and the army of cultivators formed by the Immortal Gates defeated the Demonic Cult while the Demon Kingdom he established was overthrown by the mortal emperors.”

At this, Han Ye had a sudden realization: “No wonder…the Demonic Sect is battling for this object, because having this map could have one rise to power quickly. If each Contemplation Diagram could cultivate a prime powerhouse, then they could quickly form an exceedingly powerful force.”

In the cultivation world, the strong are respected and strength represents all the talking rights. The Heavenly Demon Nether Dragon Scroll could continuously cultivate powerful cultivators, which catered to the interests of the Demonic Sect a lot.

“But why do I feel dizzy each time I look at these stone walls?”

Han Ye raised his question.

If he wanted to comprehend the Divine Powers, he would have to go through these Contemplation Diagrams. But as things stood, he could not do it yet.

“Because your cultivation is still too low. Your God Soul, mental power, as well as your dormant Primordial Spirit, cannot handle the power left behind by the Heavenly Demon.”

Chu Xianyu replied indifferently.

“Primordial Spirit huh…”

Hearing this, Han Ye was a bit despondent.

It was well known that for a cultivator to awaken their Primordial Spirit, they need to cultivate to the Deity Transformation Realm.

Foundation Establishment, Nascent Soul creation, and then Deity Transformation—the Primordial Spirit is the matured Nascent Soul residing inside the body during the Deity Transformation stage.

“You don't necessarily have to wait until you reach the Deity Transformation Realm. Once your God Soul becomes stronger, you can slowly comprehend. Even I reluctantly do it now.”

Chu Xianyu glanced at one of the Contemplation Diagrams and said so.

Upon hearing this, Han Ye calmed his heart. He could only glance at the first mural, daring not linger too long.

However, just with a glance, he could recall the appearance of the mural in his mind, an immovable Eyeless Rakshasa with three heads and six arms. The image lingered in his consciousness, indicating the strong influence of this Contemplation Diagram.

The first one seemed to be called the Immovable Rakshasa.

The Rakshasa's Demonic Armor, six arms, head, flesh wings—all became clearer and clearer as Han Ye recalled them. His breath slowed and his mind became clearer.

In just a few moments, Han Ye could feel that his mental state had slightly improved.

Upon opening his eyes, he finally realized.

Could it be that he had already begun to comprehend?

The image of the Eyeless Rakshasa hadn't disappeared from his mind and remained there. All it took was a thought, and it would appear, making it quite eerie.

It's incredible!

Han Ye was extremely amazed, for he was encountering such a Divine Power for the first time.

“It's been so long, maybe we should get out.”

Chu Xianyu said softly. In this place, they could not feel the passage of time, surrounded by endless darkness, which was quite oppressive.

She could not possibly hide here with Han Ye forever, could she?

Those guys outside couldn't possibly keep waiting like this, could they?

“About that… Let me ask.”

After thinking for a while, Han Ye decided.

“Asking?”

Hearing Han Ye's words, Chu Xianyu gave him a strange, puzzled look.

Han Ye channeled his Magic Power and sent a message towards the pitch-black sky:

“Hey! When can we leave?!”

As soon as his shout fell, a swishing sound echoed through the sky, as if something was rapidly unwinding and flying across the heavens, each dazzling point of black light carrying the radiance of stars.

In Chu Xianyu's view, the dark and boundless night sky suddenly revealed a pair of huge, scarlet vertical-pupil eyes. The stars were actually black scales shining brightly, and a deep humming sound filled the air:

“I'm not called 'Hey', my true name is Ao Jian.”

“You could have left anytime. Those guys left a long time ago.”

Looking at the surprised expression on Chu Xianyu's face, Han Ye explained with a smile.

“It's the spirit of this Demon Chart.”

Only then did Chu Xianyu remember that there was indeed the soul of a True Dragon in the Heavenly Demon Nether Dragon Scroll, which was the supreme entity of the ancient Dragon Clan.

“Finally out.”

By the time Han Ye and Chu Xianyu resurfaced, it was already daylight and the dazzling sunlight made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Back when they had killed the Qing Jiao, it was night. Now, it was already dawn.

The location where they had returned to the ground surface was quite a distance from Beihai Mansion since they had fled in a hurry and did not pay attention to where they had landed.

“What a shame. There were still many good things on the Jiaolong. After all, it was a great demon. If we had pulled off its skin, we could have even made a Treasure Armor, and its teeth could have been made into weapon Magic Treasures. Such a waste…”

Feeling regretful, Han Ye wanted to return to the original location and secure the Jiaolong's corpse. But on second thought, it seemed too risky. What if they were lying in wait there?

In the end, he decided not to go.

“At least the Demonic Pill is in my hands.”

With a frown, Chu Xianyu focused her gaze upon the ink-black Demonic Pill in Han Ye's hand. She looked at it for a while, unsure of what to say.

The Jiaolong's Demonic Pill was indeed a precious treasure.

It had many uses and was essentially priceless. When Han Ye killed the Jiaolong, he immediately excavated the Demonic Pill.

“Let's go, back to the sect.”

Han Ye said, summoning a Candle Flame from his Storage Ring. Chu Xianyu took out a spare veil from her Storage Ring and summoned Cangbi.

They morphed into two beams of light and rushed back to the sect.

During Han Ye's absence, someone in his Cave Mansion had ideas of their own.

Ning Yujing held a wooden ladle in her hand, drawing a bucket of spring water from the creek to water the flourishing Spiritual Plants in the spirit fields. She wiped the sweat from her forehead now and then, her graceful demeanour contrasting with the hard labour she was doing.

Her peach blossom eyes were clear and glistening. As she worked, she pondered, “This Han Ye isn't easy to deal with; the usual methods for men won't work on him. How can I pry out more information from him?”

“His status is higher than the average disciple. I heard he was the top of the Outer Sect two years ago and participated in the Sect War. He must have a lot of information.”

“But if I'm too obvious, I'll definitely arouse his suspicion.”

She noticed her clothes were soaked through, so she dipped her fingertips into the wooden bucket and splashed some water on her back and hair.

Once she saw water droplets forming on her hair, she was satisfied. She looked out at the empty Cave Mansion and murmured,

“It's been two days and nights, and he still isn't back.”

Just as she had that thought, two streaks of light cut across the sky.

It was Han Ye and Chu Xianyu returning to the sect.

“I'll report to the elder after settling the task at the Task Hall.”

“That's fine. I'll go see the senior sister first.”

During their conversation, Chu Xianyu spotted the figure of the woman in the Elixir Garden and remarked sharply;

“There's one more thing, you need to stay away from that woman.”

Han Ye glanced at Junior Sister Ning's back. Learning from his previous mistake, he nodded immediately.

“Okay, I will follow your advice.”

Chu Xianyu looked a little awkward under her veil. She stammered before finally adding, “Don't get me wrong. I just think she's suspicious and doesn't seem like a good person.”

“I understand, I understand.”

Han Ye chuckled.

“Fine… I'll be going then.”

Chu Xianyu transformed into a streak of light and quickly disappeared.

Watching her receding figure, Han Ye felt strangely reassured.

He then returned to his Cave Mansion to find a visibly sweaty Ning Yujing, which caught him by surprise.

You're working too hard. You're sweating so much.

“Junior Sister Ning, I'm back. Did you finish all these chores?”

He coughed to indicate his presence.

“Senior Brother!”

Ning Yujing had noticed the two figures in the sky long before, but she turned around to feign surprise, her tone filled with delight:

“I did it, senior brother, you can take a look. The plants have been well taken care of by me. I used to love planting all kinds of flowers and plants in the sect.”

Han Ye gave the growth and quantity of the Spiritual Plants a cursory glance. Everything seemed to be in order, and she had done so much work for him, so he had to say something.

So he praised, “Junior sister, you've done well. Over the next few days, I'll teach you some spells and give you a few Qi Nurturing Pills as a token of my thanks.”

Upon hearing this, Ning Yujing's ponytail swished behind her, she cheerfully responded, “Thank you, senior brother.”

“If senior brother has any more chores in the future, call me.”

“No matter what it is, I'll do my best to complete it! As long as senior brother is willing to teach me some experiences, I'll study hard.”

When Han Ye saw her peach blossom eyes filled with anticipation, he found it hard to refuse.

Thinking of the promise he made to Chu Xianyu, he started to ponder.

How can he drive her away without making Miss Chu angry again?

Difficult. The problem is that she hasn't done anything wrong.

He needs to find a reason to dismiss her, but this won't be easy.

Or what if he stoops to being a bit shameless, annoying, or even a bit lecherous? Would that compel her to leave?

With this thought, Han Ye tested the waters by asking:

“Can you really do anything?”

“Yes, anything.”

Ning Yujing showed a soft smile and nodded firmly.

“Then let me see your legs?”

Han Ye cocked an eyebrow, making a rather challenging proposition.

Hearing his request, Ning Yujing was obviously taken aback, but her face quickly returned to its usual color.

“What's so special about my legs?”

Ning Yujing seemed puzzled but obediently lifted her skirt, revealing her slender, delicate, and smooth legs, which were as white as a baby's skin.

“Alright, alright! I was just saying!”

Han Ye quickly stopped her and turned around.

He put his hand to his face, unable to believe she would dare fulfill such a request!

It seems like she's determined to stay no matter what.
