The host of the quick travel is lacking in virtue for eight generations

Chapter 743: Immortal World, Old Friend 7

The two of them walked onto the stage one after the other. There was a slight buzzing sound, and then a transparent barrier slowly rose up, covering the entire stage.

Xiao Yun sensed that this barrier was also a fairy-grade formation that could separate the people inside and outside, preventing the magic from leaking out, but it would not block the sound, allowing the spectators to feel more immersed in the scene and get excited together.

The red-haired boy took the first step. His figure flashed and he moved across the stage as quickly as a ghost.

His movements were light and agile, dazzling the eyes. At the same time, his arms kept hitting the brush head like lightning, each blow carrying huge force, as if to knock the brush head away.

Faced with such a fierce attack from the red-haired boy, Brush Head showed no fear.

Relying on his strong body, he stood firmly in place and took the attacks of the red-haired boy. Every time he was hit, Brush Head's body would tremble slightly, but he never took a step back.

Just when the red-haired boy's attack paused for a moment, Brush Head began to fight back. His huge body crashed straight into the red-haired boy like a cannonball.

The impact was so powerful, like a mountain crushing an egg, that it directly knocked the red-haired boy away, making people worry for him.

The red-haired boy flew directly to the edge of the arena, but was blocked by the barrier and could not fly out. He flipped back onto the stage, steadied his body and rushed forward again. In an instant, the two figures overlapped again, and the fight was hard to separate.

The fierce battle between them became more and more intense. They fought back and forth, neither side gave in, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

What surprised Xiao Yun and others was that from beginning to end, they did not use any magic power at all, and relied entirely on physical skills to carry out this thrilling duel.

After a while, she heard the same sounds of fighting and cheering coming from both sides. She swept her spiritual sense to both sides and saw that people were fighting on the arena on both sides.

She was still confused about the significance of these fighting arenas. If the demons were belligerent, then these arenas were specially set up for them to fight. But she didn't think other demons were that violent. Although their eyes were fiery as they watched the two fighting, they seemed more like they were just watching the fun.

Moreover, they are not like those in the spiritual world who use this fighting arena to make money and let people bet on winning or losing. They have built so many of them so densely that it is really unbelievable.

"Mom, are they settling a personal grudge, or competing for rankings? Why do they stop after deciding who's better?"

Xiao Yue didn't understand either, and asked Xiao Yun with a puzzled look.

Xiao Yun shook his head. "I'm not sure either."

A fox girl standing nearby watching the fight heard their conversation, turned around and asked, "You guys came from somewhere else, right?"

The mother and daughter nodded at the same time, and Xiao Yun replied, "Yes, we just came from the northwest. This is our first time in Wuwang City. I would like to ask this fairy to help us solve some of our doubts."

The fox girl covered her mouth and giggled, "Oh my~ I can tell you just came from the human race. You speak so elegantly. You don't have to call me fairy. That's how humans call me. Just call me by my name. My name is Hu Jing'er. What's your name? What race are you from? I can't tell. You must have a higher cultivation level than me..."

As if her chatterbox had been opened, Hu Jing'er chattered and said a long string of words in one breath.

Xiao Yun waited for her to stop before speaking again: "We did just come from the human race. My name is Xiao Yun, and this is my daughter Xiao Yue. We are from the Nine-tailed Celestial Raccoon Clan..."

"What!? You are actually from the Nine-tailed Celestial Raccoon clan!" Before Xiao Yun could finish his words, Hu Jing'er exclaimed, her eyes wide open, full of shock and awe.

The surrounding monsters all looked over, their eyes identical to Hu Jing'er's.

Xiao Yun's eyes flashed. It seemed that the Nine-tailed Heavenly Raccoon had a high status in the fairy world. That was good. It would be convenient for him to speak and do things in the future.

"Yes, but we ascended from the lower realm and have been practicing in seclusion in a sparsely populated area in the northwest. It was only recently that we came out for a walk after achieving some success, and only then did we realize that the south is the territory of the demon world."

Hu Jing'er's face lit up with realization. "So that's how it is. Your Nine-tailed Celestial Raccoon clan must be one of the top existences in the lower realm. In the past ten thousand years, your clan has the most demons who have ascended to the immortal realm. And your cultivation talent is particularly high, more talented than those of us who were born in the immortal realm."

Xiao Yun was delighted. He didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise. He heard the news he wanted to know so soon.

She smiled and took Hu Jing'er's hand. "Sister Jing'er, you're too kind. We were just lucky and happened to come across some opportunities. Sister Jing'er, do you know where those Nine-tailed Sky Raccoons who ascended earlier are? We are here to join them."

Hu Jing'er disagreed, saying that not everyone can have that kind of luck.

However, she did not refute, but followed her words and replied: "I only know that the Nine-tailed Sky Raccoon clan's home is on an island in the Wuwang Sea. They come here to train, and no other demon clan outside has ever been there. Everyone speculates that the island they are on has a ban set up, and they don't want outsiders to disturb them.

However, they do come out often. In addition to the younger generations who come out to gain experience, they will also come out to participate whenever there is a fairyland event or a secret realm is opened. They are not isolated from the world.

By the way, your timing is perfect, so you don't have to go out of your way to find them. The Demon Ancestor Secret Realm will open in just two months, and they will definitely lead a team over then."

"The Demon Ancestor's Secret Realm? Is their competition here related to the opening of that secret realm?"

Xiao Yun immediately connected the two.

Hu Jing'er's eyes lit up, "That's right! The Demon Ancestor Secret Realm opens once every thousand years. There is no restriction on the cultivation level of the demons that can enter, but there is a limit on the number of demons that can enter.

There are so many monsters that the number of those entering can only be controlled through competitions. These competition arenas are specially built to select candidates to enter the secret realm.

Every adult demon has one chance to compete. The winner will be eligible to enter the secret realm. The loser can no longer compete and can only wait until the next opening.

This way, half of the population can be eliminated. Of course, this only applies to those demon tribes without tribes to rely on. Those with tribes will either compete within the tribe or directly have the tribe leader and elders determine the candidates. The number of candidates cannot exceed half of the entire tribe, so it can only be less, not more."

Xiao Yun: It’s simple and crude.

However, she still had a question, "How can we be sure that the demons who go there are all victors of the competition? What if there are losers, or those who simply don't participate in the competition? How can we detect them?"

Hu Jing'er nodded, "Of course it can be detected. These arenas have special marks left by law enforcers. The marks will be placed on the victors, and when they enter the secret realm, they will not be thrown out by the formation set up at the entrance.

The same goes for those big clans. They will go to the Demon Palace to report their numbers within a hundred years before the secret realm begins. If there are any newborn cubs, they will also be included in the number.

For example, if there were a thousand people in the tribe before, and they gave birth to a hundred cubs within a thousand years, then half of the thousand and one hundred would be eligible to enter, and the Demon Palace would issue them a token with a mark on it."

"Demon Palace? Law enforcers? Are they the managers of the entire demon clan?" Xiao Yun asked, grasping the key point.

Hu Jing'er nodded, "Yes, our demon clan's headquarters is on the Wan Yao Continent across from the Wuwang Sea. It's led by Demon Lord Jiu Yan. The Demon Palace is where the Demon Lord lives, and the law enforcers are the twelve Demon Emperors who follow the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord is from your Nine-tailed Celestial Raccoon clan. It was because of avoiding suspicion that the Nine-tailed Celestial Raccoon clan moved to the island alone. The Demon Lord is very fair and much better than those human immortal lords who don't care about things~"

Xiao Yun's heart moved. He didn't expect that the Demon Lord was from the Nine-tailed Sky Raccoon clan. No wonder these demons showed respect to them. It turned out that they were benefiting from the Demon Lord.

She then asked, "Sister Jing'er, are there any treasures in this Demon Ancestor Secret Realm that are worth so many demons fighting to get in?"

Hu Jing'er's eyes lit up as she said excitedly, "That's a lot! The Demon Ancestor's Secret Realm is the companion space of the first generation of Demon Lords in the Immortal Realm. There are many spiritual objects in it that are useful to us. It is said that if you practice in it, your speed can be several times faster than outside. If you can obtain the Demon Ancestor's inheritance in it, it will be a leap to heaven!"

After hearing this, Xiao Yun was also tempted. She didn't need it because she still had Yaoyao and the others. However, it was a bit unreliable to ask them to compete with others. Only Xiaoyueyue and Yaoyao had a chance of winning, let alone others.

At this time, the duel on the stage had come to an end. The red-haired boy flashed around behind Brush Head and kicked him on the back. Brush Head staggered a few steps and almost fell down.

The red-haired boy pressed forward, delivering a few more punches until Brushhead finally collapsed. The red-haired boy triumphed, and a faint light shone from his body, marking the mark left by the law enforcer.

Xiao Yun looked at this scene and had a plan in mind. They could make two preparations. They could let Yaoyao participate in the competition, and when he got the mark, they could put the others into his space and bring them in. If that didn't work, she would bring them in herself.

The main reason is that I want Yaoyao to try actual combat with others. He has always been fighting with people who have lower cultivation than him, which is a dimensionality reduction attack and cannot serve the purpose of training at all.

Now there are people here with the same level of cultivation as him, and there are also people with higher cultivation than him. In this arena, he does not have to worry about the opponent killing him and can choose his own opponent. It is the most suitable.

Xiao Yun conveyed his thoughts to Yaoyao, who was a little skeptical. "Mom, I have no problem trying my skills against others, but I'm not optimistic about taking them all into my space. That demon lord is from the same clan as us. What if he has already prepared for this?"

Indeed, Xiao Yun thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do this: they'll be in my space, and I'll be in yours. Even if the entrance to the Demon Ancestor Secret Realm detects the space, we can completely avoid it with the Sky-Blocking Mirror."

At this moment, a young man from the Wolf Clan walked over, bowed respectfully to Xiao Yun, and said, "Senior, I am Lang An, the next leader of the Snow Wolf Clan. I have reached the peak of the Demon King level and am only one step away from breaking through to the Demon Emperor level."

Seeing the admiration in the eyes of the surrounding demons, he puffed out his chest proudly and continued, "I fell in love with your daughter at first sight and want to be her partner. If we can become a Taoist couple, we can use the quota from our tribe and won't have to compete with others for the quota."

Xiao Yun frowned, and before she could say anything, Xiao Yue said with disgust on her face: "I don't like you."

He has white hair like an old man and is not even half as handsome as her brother. Yet he wants to be her life partner. He is not even worthy of being her lover!

What's more, he tempted her with a chance to enter the secret realm. Does she look like someone who would be cheap?

Lang An's face froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "Miss, my Snow Wolf Clan is quite well-known in the demon world, and I'm the next Clan Leader that we're training. Becoming my Taoist partner will only benefit you."

Xiao Yun said in a deep voice, "My daughter has just reached adulthood and doesn't want to get involved in love affairs yet. As for the place to enter the secret realm, I will obtain it based on my own strength. This Snow Wolf Young Master doesn't need to worry about it."

A hint of displeasure flashed across Lang An's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. He smiled again and said, "Senior, this opportunity to enter the Demon Ancestor Secret Realm is rare. If you miss it, you'll have to wait another thousand years. Why are you so hasty to refuse? Even if we're not in a hurry to become Taoist companions, we can spend some time together first. Maybe we'll develop feelings for each other..."

Yaoyao stood up at this time and said, "My sister doesn't like you, so please leave immediately. If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being rude."

Lang An looked at Yaoyao and snorted disdainfully, "Just you? A kid who just advanced to the Demon Emperor, I want to see how you can be rude to me. Why don't we go to the fighting arena and have a fight? I already have a mark on my body, so even if I win, I won't take up a spot in the secret realm, and I can even free up a spot for someone else."

As he said this, he made an inviting gesture to Yaoyao, indicating that he should go up to the empty fighting arena with him.

Seeing this, the other monsters around started to cheer excitedly. One more spot meant one more chance for them, so of course they agreed with both hands.

Unexpectedly, the snow wolf was so persistent that Xiao Yun's eyes turned cold.
