Chapter 2681 - 547_5
"What exactly is happening here?"
"The human race, just what kind of race are they?"
"In just two years, how many have reached the Golden Immortal Realm among them!"
"This... perhaps only the Heavenly Clan could surpass the humans in terms of Golden Immortal Realm numbers."
"The rise of the human race is too rapid!"
"It should be said that the human race is truly terrifying!"
"Could it be, all of this is because of Cao Zhen?"
Inside Heaven Accordance City, the Fourth Prince of the Heavenly Clan could no longer maintain his usual composure. The number of humans advancing to the Golden Immortal Realm has become too many. If this continues, by the time of the Eight Tribes Alliance Leader election, their Golden Immortals might not surpass those of the human race.
Even more troubling is that if the humans continue to grow, they could even threaten the Heavenly Clan!
At the Hundred Peaks Sect, Cao Zhen finally managed to finish advising everyone, when Ju E, along with Immortal Lord Lin Feng and Immortal Lord Yao Tu, came together to find him.
Ju E spoke up before the other two, "Husband, our Clan Leader has asked you to come to our Demon Clan to jointly discuss the matter of our Daoist Companion Ceremony.
Our Clan Leader has said that I am the future Clan Leader of our Fox Monster Clan, and you are now the Clan Leader of the human race. Our Daoist Companion Ceremony must be grand, to reassure the entire Demon Clan. After all, with the recent emergence of so many Golden Immortal Realms in your human race, our Demon Clan is somewhat concerned."
Before Cao Zhen could speak, from behind Ju E, Immortal Lord Yao Tu added, "The Beast Clan also shares this sentiment."
Immortal Lord Lin Feng was the last to speak, "Our Prison Clan Leader holds the same view."
Cao Zhen also realized that with so many Golden Immortal Realms emerging from the human race recently, it’s normal for their allies to have concerns.
So, he had no choice but to go to the allied Demon Clan, Beast Clan, and Prison Clan.
The Demon Clan had long been very friendly towards the human race, and he had met Ju E a long time ago, making the Demon Clan his first choice.
He did not know how many races made up the Demon Clan, even Ju E couldn’t clearly say exactly how many races there were. After all, the variety was vast, and she didn’t know about many of the smaller races.
Moreover, not all races within the Demon Clan had their own Minor World. Some of the very weak small clans were either attached to another clan’s Minor World or had jointly built a Minor World.
The Fox Clan, being the second largest clan within the Demon Clan, naturally had their own Minor World.
Cao Zhen initially thought he was going to Central Continent to discuss this matter with the Fox Clan, but after entering the Fox Clan’s base in Central Continent, Ju E did not stop. Instead, she led Cao Zhen away directly, flying into the Fox Clan’s Minor World.
Cao Zhen had previously entered the Fox Clan’s Minor World, but this time, upon entering again, he clearly felt a difference.
The Spiritual Energy in this Minor World was noticeably more abundant than the one he had initially entered, and these two Minor Worlds were not the same.
The Minor World before him was magnificent and mysterious. As far as the eye could see, emerald bamboo forests stretched endlessly, with bamboo leaves swaying gently in the wind, creating a soft rustling sound. Sunlight filtered through gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows and adding a touch of freshness and vitality to the world.
In the distance, a lake like a mirror rippled gently with azure waters.
And further away, mountain ranges rose and fell continuously. Lofty peaks shrouded in mist appeared to lead to another mysterious world.
Upon entering this world, one could immediately notice a special fragrance, prompting an urge to take deeper breaths.
Cao Zhen suddenly asked, "Isn’t this the Minor World I initially entered?"
"Actually, the Minor World you initially entered was what we can call the real Minor World of the Fox Clan, while this Minor World you’re in now is our Holy Land."
Ju E explained as she held Cao Zhen’s hand and led him forward, "You should have noticed the scent; it’s unique to our Holy Land. This aroma generates a type of illusory aura that ordinary cultivators can’t resist.
Even cultivators of the Immortality Regainment Realm can’t stay here for long; thus, there are very few cultivators here. The Immortality Regainment Realm cultivators seen occasionally are those entering for training."
"I see, but why bring me into your Holy Land?" Cao Zhen was still puzzled. "Can’t we discuss our Daoist Companion Ceremony in Central Continent?"
"We can’t because our Ancestral Elder wants to meet you." Ju E’s last sentence wasn’t spoken openly like before, but rather transmitted secretly. After a slight pause, she continued to transmit, "In truth, very few cultivators know that the strongest in our Fox Monster Clan isn’t the Clan Leader but our Ancestral Elder.
Indeed, our Fox Monster Clan has always been the second strongest race within the Demon Clan. Even the Dragon Demon Clan treats us with respect because of our Ancestral Elder.
And besides me and our Clan Leader, only our Demon Clan Leader knows about the existence of our Ancestral Elder. Now, you are the fourth person to know."
Cao Zhen grew even more puzzled and transmitted back, "This... isn’t our Daoist Companion Ceremony something that could happen without meeting your Ancestral Elder? With your Ancestral Elder’s existence so secretive, wouldn’t it be bad to let someone like me know?"
