Outside Cangming Island, scattered around its northern part, there were numerous islands of similar sizes.
At this moment, in front of a pavilion on one of these islands, Demon Soul watched Duan Hai leave.
Then he returned to the room, turned around, and took out a ring, from which he retrieved all the objects inside.
“Token, uniform, Communication Talisman…”
Demon Soul donned the Demon Sky Palace uniform and then pondered the information Duan Hai had mentioned earlier.
“Unexpectedly, I have inexplicably become the Demon Emperor’s registered disciple… even if it’s just a peripheral ‘registered disciple’.” Demon Soul smacked his lips.
According to what Duan Hai said, his master’s name was Lv Lan, the only surviving disciple of the Nether Sea Demon Emperor, one of the three Emperor Levels in the Demon Sky Palace.
Moreover, this lineage had not accepted disciples for a very long time.
No wonder Ji Changye was a bit surprised at that time.
Moreover, on Wangyue Island, even the lowest level was Radiant Moon Level.
Demon Soul, being merely a Shining Star Level and from an unknown origin, truly stood out conspicuously.
Fortunately, Lv Lan was still in seclusion, so there was no need to meet his master.
This was naturally good for Demon Soul, as it avoided the risk of being discovered by the King Level experts.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. There was no need to overthink…
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
In Central State, at the foot of Heavenly Mountain, Frost Sky City.
Although it was the largest city within a radius of ten thousand miles, because of its remote location, most of the inhabitants in Ice Sky City were local Star Card Masters or those who primarily cultivated Ice Skills.
And every few years, Ice Sky City would become bustling.
The reason was nothing else but the Ten Sects Swordfight!
In recent half a month, many foreign cultivators had flocked to Frost Sky City.
Although they couldn’t witness the Ten Sects Swordfight firsthand, they had the chance to see the top experts from various sects and get first-hand information about the Swordfight.
“Hey, Old Xu, I just saw people from Beast Taming Heavenly Sect in the eastern part of the city!”
In a teahouse, cultivators from different regions talked about the Swordfight.
“Oh? Beast Taming Heavenly Sect is from the Eastern Domain. It’s rare to see them here.”
“Indeed, it was an eye-opener. The Eight-eyed Divine Owl, Purple Eyes Soaring Monkey… it’s my first time seeing so many rare Star Beasts! If I were to face them, I’d probably fail against even one Beast!”
“That’s right. True Disciples always find ways to contract Epic Star Beasts. Ordinary Blue Card Masters like us can’t compete.”
Another nearby person laughed: “In a one-on-one fight, Beast Tamers are formidable at every stage. But as for the top tier… that’s different.”
Due to the number and quality of Beast Tamers’ beasts, their paper strength was high.
Typically, a Shining Star Level Star Card Master could contract five Beasts, equivalent to fighting five against one.
However, for top experts, as long as their strength surpassed by one point, their ability to handle group attacks would increase by several points.
Moreover, most top experts had methods to counter group attacks.
Thus, in the Ten Sects Swordfight, Beast Taming Heavenly Sect always ranked among the last few.
“It’s not just Beast Taming Heavenly Sect. The disciples of Limitless Demon Sect and Qiankun Sect are also here, right?”
“They arrived a few days ago!”
“I wonder how this Swordfight will be. I heard it will be different from before.”
“Yes, this time, it seems they are going into the Heavenly Mountain Secret Realm to find Heavenly Mountain Moon Milk!”
…
Not far away, a silver-eyed young man wearing a blue bracelet was drinking tea alone. It was Su Yuan.
After infiltrating the Demon Sky Palace, Demon Soul encountered no surprises.
He had found a way to the East Continent, but it wasn’t fully secured.
Like the Great Flame Sky Patrol, the Demon Sky Palace also had array barriers for teleportation to other continents.
But this path was challenging.
Demon Soul had no reason to use the transmission array.
Especially considering he had to teleport his real body too. If something went wrong, his real body would be doomed.
Thus, he had to find other ways.
Currently, Demon Soul was reading extensively within the sect to find other solutions.
Meanwhile, Su Yuan was also searching elsewhere for a way back to the East Continent.
But so far, he had no success.
Despite multiple predictions by Ashley, there were no results. It indicated that the causative conditions were lacking, and there was no feasible way for Su Yuan to return to the East Continent.
Therefore, the most important thing now was to win the Heavenly Mountain Moon Milk in the Ten Sects Swordfight!
