Chapter 1961 - 1965: Demon Clan Domain
After Qin Tian left the Demon Clan Forbidden Land, he spent another two days at the Demon Clan Palace with Liu Fei’er.
Liu Fei’er’s dedication moved him deeply, but under her governance, the Demon Clan was well organized, which reassured Qin Tian greatly.
Two days later, Qin Tian left the Demon Capital. Upon returning to West Capital City, he began planning his journey to the Ghost Corpse Mountain Range.
According to the old monsters of the Demon Clan, as long as he survived the training at the Ghost Corpse Mountain Range, it should be easy for him to advance his cultivation to the Flying Immortal Realm.
However, the Ghost King Tomb located in the Ghost Corpse Mountain Range was within the Demon Clan’s territory, which made Qin Tian somewhat uneasy.
He had never been to the Demon Clan’s land, but from ancient texts and conversations with others, Qin Tian had heard countless legends about the Demon Clan.
The Demon Clan is situated in the northwest of West State, with a territory much smaller than even half of the Demon Clan’s land.
Moreover, the entire Demon Clan is surrounded by the Demon God River, and it has little interaction with the outside world.
For this reason, the Demon Clan is incredibly mysterious within the Spiritual Domain.
Some individuals of the Demon Clan that Qin Tian knew were famous figures who once caused quite a stir within the Tianyuan Dynasty.
For instance, Voldemort, who killed the top ten experts of the dynasty, and the creation Great Demon God, whose mere mention instills fear across the Spiritual Domain!
It is rumored that the Demon Clan has a very small population, with low fertility rates, but yet they possess exceptional cultivation immortality talent and can quickly elevate their cultivation through unconventional methods such as killing and cannibalism.
It’s rumored that some nobles in the Imperial City secretly keep skilled individuals from the Demon Clan, although Qin Tian had never encountered them.
He only knows that his identity and lineage should be closely related to the Demon Clan.
"My father is from the Dragon Flame Clan and is undoubtedly of the royal family from the Tianyuan Dynasty. However, those elders insisted that my demonic aura is strong... This means my demonic aura only could have come from my mother!"
Qin Tian speculated in his mind, "Could it be that my mother is a member of the Demon Clan?"
On this point, Qin Tian was almost certain.
Therefore, as he packed his belongings to head toward the Demon Clan, a change occurred within him, leading him to become curious about his journey to the Demon Clan.
"Is this the legendary Demon God River?"
Standing by the banks of a vast, mist-covered river, Qin Tian gazed across, yet the fog obscured his view of what the Demon Clan on the opposite bank looked like.
However, as Qin Tian expanded his Divine Sense toward the river’s edge, he felt a resistance. The closer he attempted to explore the opposite bank, the stronger the resistance became.
No bridges spanned the Demon God River, so Qin Tian had no choice but to fly across.
When he flew over the Demon God River, a mysterious pressure descended from the sky, exerting down on him until his Dan Tian Qi Sea was instantly suppressed, making it difficult for him to exert strength.
"Without the cultivation in the Great Immortal Realm, I’m afraid one wouldn’t have the strength to cross the river!"
As Qin Tian successfully flew to the opposite bank, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Just as he flew over, the height he managed was merely three to four meters above the river’s surface; any slight carelessness would have led him to fall into the turbulent waters of the Demon God River.
Moreover, in a span of just ten miles, Qin Tian expended most of his True Qi, almost succumbing to exhaustion and nearly falling into the river.
Standing by the Demon God River’s edge, Qin Tian overlooked the vast expanse of the Demon Clan’s lands. The clouds lingered, there was no blazing sunshine, and the entire land seemed shrouded by dark clouds, imparting an oppressive feeling.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Suddenly, he heard footsteps rapidly approaching him!
"Who goes there?!"
From afar, several silhouettes sprinted fiercely toward him!
Those individuals were all clad in black armor, with abundant True Qi, moving at lightning speed. In a matter of speaking, they were already within two miles of Qin Tian!
They were border sentries of the Demon Clan, few in number but with formidable cultivation!
Qin Tian quickly summoned his energy to escape, not wanting to alert the Demon Clan members.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Utilizing his Flowing Cloud Skill, Qin Tian soared swiftly away, fleeing toward the distant mountains.
The four soldiers behind him were not much slower than Qin Tian, as they chased him relentlessly over thirty kilometers!
Had Qin Tian not exerted himself to evade, he might have been caught by those insignificant soldiers.
After crossing the Demon God River and evading the Demon Clan sentries’ pursuit, the road ahead appeared much quieter.
The Demon Clan is not truly a large nation. With a small population and lax governance, many of the castles and sects within the Demon Clan’s regions are self-governed. There is no true Great Demon King capable of ruling the entire Demon Clan, not even the Demon Emperor can accomplish this.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Within the undulating skies above the Demon Clan’s mountainous terrain, a shadow raced rapidly.
After locating the position of the Ghost Corpse Mountain Range on the map, Qin Tian flew directly towards the Ghost Corpse Mountain Range.
Along the way, the vast rivers and grasslands of the Demon Clan, mountains and rivers were all within sight.
Unlike other places in the Spiritual Domain, the Demon Clan’s mountains and grasslands held enormous trees whose leaves were not green but a peculiar grey-black color, appearing highly bizarre.
The entirety of Qin Tian was akin to a ghost, as he flew low over the forests to avoid alerting other Demon Clan members, his speed turning him into a streak of light. So fast that ordinary people would not have caught sight of him.
According to the map, after flying swiftly for half a day, Qin Tian finally arrived at a mountain range densely populated with trees!
The mountains themselves were covered with trees that reached a height of seven to eight meters.
These trees, without exception, lacked leaves!
The entire mountain stretched high and vast beyond compare.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Qin Tian easily felt an unusual aura emanating from the Ghost Corpse Mountain Range, like that of an enormous dragon, bringing forth rare demonic energy unseen by Qin Tian!
"It seems this is the Ghost Corpse Mountain Range!"
With a serious demeanor, Qin Tian put away the map, fortified himself with a three-layer True Qi Shield, and ventured into the Ghost Corpse Mountain Range.
The sky remained overcast; it was already dusk as Qin Tian entered the Ghost Corpse Mountain Range. Suddenly, a flock of gigantic crow beasts flew out from the midst of the mountains, each one maniacal in form, a pitch-black swarm, casting an ominous atmosphere under the darkened sky!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Ascending the crest of the Ghost Corpse Mountain Range, gusts of eerie winds blew, carrying with them a stench of death that sent chills through Qin Tian’s body.
A small river flowed atop the peak of the Ghost Corpse Mountain Range, extending from the highest point of the mountain, following the main vein of the Ghost Corpse Mountain Range, flowing further away.
Upon the river, black water fog surged, and as Qin Tian hurried along its banks, he easily spotted giant aquatic beasts intermittently extending their heads out from the river, monstrous and grotesque in shape, utterly repugnant.
After sprinting for over thirty kilometers, Qin Tian saw that atop the Ghost Corpse Mountain Range, an isolated peak towered mightily!
The river, in the end, flowed directly into the cave beneath the peak!
As Qin Tian leaped to the base of the peak, a massive cave unfolded before him, an aura of menace bubbling forth! From within the cave emanated the nightmarish cries of ghosts and fiends!
And there, at the entrance, three ancient words faded under a veil of moss—
Ghost King Tomb!
