The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 675: Chapter 338: Spirit City Conquered
 

Atop the vast form of the Golden Peng, Lin Yi sensed that this Monster Beast could ride the wind and fly, its wings merely fluttering lightly to maintain an extremely high speed.

It reminded him of a famous poem, “Like the great Peng bird, taking off with the wind, soaring up to ninety thousand miles in one day.”

Although the Golden Serpent Dragon’s flying abilities were not weak, compared to the avian class of the Golden Peng, they still fell short, as the greatest innate talent of birds is flight.

From high above, he also observed the conditions within the Monster Forest. The outskirts of the forest closest to the Spirit Demon-Slaying City were home to some non-Transformed Monster Beasts, and they were of exceptionally ferocious types.

As one ventured deeper into the forest, the strength of the Monster Beasts grew increasingly terrifying, eventually, Integration Stage demons began to make their presence known.

This forest also bore many Spirit Grasses and Spirit Fruits; given their sufficient value, even within a forest rife with Monster Beasts, Cultivators would risk adventuring there.

However, he did not sense even a trace of Resentment in the forest, despite the fact that Cultivators killed by Monster Beasts and lacking the means for deliverance should result in some Resentment.

After flying a vast distance, Lin Yi finally saw the emergence of a towering city, almost identical to the Border Spirit City. By distance, this grand city located in the Monster Forest was likely the Human Spirit City that had been conquered.

Near this city, many from the Demon Tribe gathered, forming a community that seemed to be guarding the city.

Upon seeing an area below filled with tombstones exuding a somber Yin Qi and sky-piercing Resentment, he suddenly understood why he had not sensed any Resentment in the Monster Forest.

The Cultivators who had entered the Monster Forest and been killed were probably taken by the Fox Clan to be placed in tombs to absorb Yin Qi, a Cultivation method similar to that of the Fox Clan in the Lower Realm.

In the Lower Realm, those from the Fox Clan could maintain a certain level of vitality in the corpses to continuously generate Yin Qi. Here in the Spirit Profound Realm, the ghastly sight below indicated that this group’s technique was even more formidable.

Through the Eye of Emptiness, Lin Yi saw that within this Yin Qi-filled Fox Clan, there were many Cultivators who had been bewitched into losing their sanity, serving as nourishment for the Fox Demon’s Cultivation.

As they approached the city, the Golden Peng flying below enthusiastically introduced, “Senior, do you see the massive city ahead? That is one of the two Human Spirit Cities that our Demon Tribe has captured. It has now become an important area for our tribe, with many of our kind living there, but only those who have undergone Transformation are eligible to enter.”

“Another city was captured by the Demon race, but those inhumane creatures did not bother to develop it and let a perfectly good Spirit City go to waste.”

Lin Yi nodded. He had delved into the history of the Spirit Profound Realm at the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, understanding that the two Spirit Cities seized by the Demon Tribe were like two watchtowers for the Human race, stationed among the demons and serving as the forefront of the defense for the Spirit Demon-Slaying City.

Yet, these two Spirit Cities were conquered by the Demon Tribe tens of thousands of years ago and had since become their own citadels.

From the scenes viewed during the flight, there were no other cities surrounding this one. Had they not captured a Human Spirit City, it would have been impossible for the Demon Tribe to form a city; the differences between the various species are simply too great to establish a unified recognition like the Human race.

Just like the eligibility to enter the city, only those who have undergone Transformation are deemed worthy, signaling that adopting a human form is still considered a symbol of status within the Demon Tribe.

From the tactics of the siege, it was clear that these powerful Integration Stage demons did not regard the lives of lesser Monster Beasts at all.

As for the Human race, even though the lives of lower-level Cultivators were harsh, those High-Level Cultivators would not use the lives of low-ranking Cultivators to fill the gaps on the battlefield.

And the test of command abilities on the third floor of the Tai Xuan Tower in the battlefield also reflected this, incorporating humanity as part of the test.

Upon their imminent arrival at the city, the Golden Peng altered its course, flew some distance more, and headed straight for another city entrance.

At that moment, from the nearby city walls, two men clad in golden armor, riding the wind, approached them. Approaching, they smiled and said, “Little Lin, you’ve finally flown back. We thought you got lost halfway.”

Then, turning to Lin Yi at the lead, they nodded in acknowledgment. The returning tribespeople had not lied; this Long Ao fellow was indeed suave and handsome. They said with a salute, “This must be Brother Long. We were ordered by the elder ancestor to welcome you here. We have heard of your impressive actions before the Demon-Slaying City and deeply admire them. We have long disdained that dark-hearted Fox Clan.”

Another one chimed in, “Yes, they claim every day to be prettier than human women and more handsome than human men. But now, compared to Brother Long, they truly fall short.”

Lin Yi could sense that these two men were Integration Stage demons from the Golden Peng Clan. To have two Integration Stage demons welcome him showed the Golden Peng Clan’s sincere hospitality.

However, the power he had displayed earlier had already reached the Body Fusion Realm, and allying himself with this Golden Serpent Dragon was an opportunity for the Golden Peng Clan to enhance their influence.
