Chapter 2250: Arrival at the Demon Inheritance Land
Sikong Jing felt that this possibility was very high, perhaps his drifting to the Divine Demon Island Sea Domain was no accident.
Because in his memory, the image of black fish swimming surfaced, seeming as though they were the ones that brought him to Demon Scale Island.
The memory was very vague, and Sikong Jing couldn’t tell if it was just an illusion.
Without thinking further, Sikong Jing sat cross-legged on the Divine Shuttle Ship, entering a state of cultivation.
Guesses were just guesses, whether true or not needed more exploration, and next, he had to face the powerful Cangyu Sect. His first step was to ensure Yinlu was not sacrificed.
Enhancing his realm was most important!
He must reach the Spirit Martial Stage before arriving at Divine Demon Island.
As for why he needed to reach the Spirit Martial Stage, War Tiger had explained, it was because there was a Demon Inheritance Land on Divine Demon Island.
Only young demons at the Spirit Martial Stage or above with exceptional talent could receive an inheritance.
And any inheritance obtained naturally had to be handed over to the Cangyu Sect.
If Elder Ruan’s demons obtained a powerful inheritance and offered it up, they could naturally gain a promotion in status.
Time passed little by little...
Several more shuttles joined Elder Ruan’s Divine Shuttle Ship, filled with demons and so-called sacrifices from various islands,
There was nothing further said due to the presence of War Tiger and Elder Ruan’s orders, so Elder Ruan’s subordinates dared not trouble Sikong Jing any more, and half a month quickly passed.
Elder Ruan’s Divine Shuttle Fleet had already arrived at the edge of Divine Demon Island.
"All demons board the deck and prepare to step onto Divine Demon Island..."
With War Tiger’s voice, including Sikong Jing, Yinlu, and other demons of Demon Scale Island, all demons boarded the deck.
At that moment, Sikong Jing finally beheld Divine Demon Island.
The Divine Demon Island appeared like boundless land, with no flowers, plants, or trees on the outer perimeter, only parched barren ground, resembling a terrifying wasteland at first glance.
All mountains and lands were grayish-black.
At the center of Divine Demon Island was a black mist akin to lightning and thunder, merging with the sky, obscuring everything.
It was overwhelmingly oppressive, giving one a breathless feeling at just a glance.
Around the Divine Shuttle Ship carrying Sikong Jing were thousands of Divine Shuttles, filled with demons brought by powerful figures of the Cangyu Sect, and sacrifices to be offered for the entertainment of those in the prison, with the demons also sent to work there.
Different from the Human Clan, demons can also leave the prison once entering.
War Tiger also explained the work of the demons, which was to transport Divine Demon Crystals blasted out by terrifying forces from the center of Divine Demon Island.
These Divine Demon Crystals are very special, extremely valuable, dozens of times more than Light Core Crystals, thus requiring demons to carry them out, and the prisoners to risk their lives collecting them...
Prisoners gather them at all times, and demons retrieve them every three years.
So, sacrifices are needed to placate these prisoners, making them more willing to collect Divine Demon Crystals for the Cangyu Sect.
"All demons, enter the island!"
Again with War Tiger’s command, all the demons on Sikong Jing’s Divine Shuttle stepped onto the land of Divine Demon Island, and the same was true for demons on other Divine Shuttles.
As for the people of the Cangyu Sect, they naturally also stepped onto Divine Demon Island.
They could set foot on the island but were not allowed too close to the center of Divine Demon Island.
However, the Divine Shuttles could not enter.
Thus, under the leadership of the powerful individuals of the Cangyu Sect, a group of demons headed towards the center of Divine Demon Island, surrounded by the Human Clan with the sacrifices, including Yinlu.
At this moment, Yinlu looked helplessly at Sikong Jing, not knowing if the latter could still save her.
Meanwhile, Hui Lu chuckled gleefully...
He taunted Sikong Jing from afar: "Black Scale Demon, you bragged so much before, but in the end isn’t Yinlu still going to be a sacrifice? She saved your life, won’t you rescue her?"
She wanted to provoke Sikong Jing to save Yinlu, perhaps leading him to be killed by the Human Clan.
To this, Sikong Jing paid no heed...
At this moment, Sikong Jing’s expression was as severe as it could get. Upon stepping onto Divine Demon Island, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, a strange familiarity, yet it was not from the Fierce Beast Bloodline.
This was very peculiar; as the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, how could the familiarity not be from a fierce beast?
Taking a deep breath, Sikong Jing temporarily dismissed the feeling from the depths of his heart, gave Yinlu a reassuring look, and continued with the group towards the center of Divine Demon Island.
Soon after... Stop!
A weighty voice boomed, still from War Tiger and also from surrounding demon groups.
The group suddenly halted, stopping before a cliff.
The cliff seemed to emit rolling Devil Light, giving an intensely oppressive feeling, and in the middle of the cliff was an indentation resembling a cave, like an inverted bowl pressed into the cliff.
At this moment...
A figure suddenly rose into the air, an elder exuding a Holy Martial Stage aura.
The elder slowly floated before the bowl-like indentation and looked to the group, saying, "This is the Demon Inheritance Land. Now have the Outer Sect Elders bring forth the talented demons eligible for inheritance and gather here."
This Holy Martial Stage elder, whom Sikong Jing also heard from War Tiger, was the strongest of the Cangyu Sect entering the Divine Demon Island Sea Domain this time.
He was an Inner Elder of the Cangyu Sect named Bu Tun.
And this indentation shaped like a bowl allowed talented young demons to enter and receive the power inheritance.
As for where the inheritance came from...
According to War Tiger, it was provided by the creator of Divine Demon Island as a benefit for their demon servants.
Yet, it was still controlled by the Cangyu Sect.
At this time, Sikong Jing’s group heard Elder Ruan’s voice saying, "You few, come with me."
Among the many Demon Islands he was responsible for transporting, Elder Ruan had, after all, found a few young demons with potential.
Thus, he swiftly gathered these young demons and soared toward Elder Bu Tun...
The same occurred for other groups, where the Outer Sect Elders gathered the young demons and ascended.
Some gathered dozens, some hundreds...
And like Elder Ruan, many gathered only a few demons, signifying the differences in status among Outer Sect Elders, showing that Elder Ruan’s status was not as high as War Tiger had mentioned.
Demon Islands varied in size and strength...
Those assigned to strong islands naturally held higher status among the Cangyu Sect’s Outer Sect Elders, having more talented demons at their disposal.
Elder Ruan having only a few talented demons naturally placed him at a lower status.
Watching Elder Ruan leave...
War Tiger slowly approached Sikong Jing, speaking in a low voice, "Elder Ruan’s status has further declined recently, his realm advances too slowly, and he’s had no achievements on the last visits to Divine Demon Island, so he’s being suppressed by other elders."
