Chapter 704: 255: Thousands of talented individuals are trapped, and Zhou Shen accidentally enters the Demonic Underground World (Seeking monthly votes!!)_2
At this time, one or two Immortal City cultivators were still rushing over, seemingly wanting to try their luck in the Beast Swamp, unwilling to admit their fate.
Liang Sheng watched Feng Yuan’s Kaiyuan Child rush into the Beast Swamp, and after some thought, decided that everyone who needed to be here had already arrived, and it was time for the big show to begin.
“Master, I need to go to the Beast Swamp.”
“Go.”
After respectfully saluting, Liang Sheng went towards the Beast Swamp, while the Zi Zai Free Gate Elder merely glanced at the chessboard on the table and smiled faintly.
He then looked in the direction of the northeast and casually took out a pot of wine, leisurely and carefree.
From now on, nobody should come to disturb him.
Northeast, unknown mountains and rivers.
The elderly Taoist, one of the Sacred Land Representatives, couldn’t help but shiver and looked towards the direction of Longevity Immortal City, grumbling in his heart.
He had given up meddling in the affairs of Longevity Immortal City earlier, but why was Senior Zi Zai still holding onto him?
This was really too much bullying.
So what if Free Gate had a new disciple?
After all, I am a great cultivator at the Void Refining Seven-Layered Realm, so why must I suffer like this?
Not knowing if he had sensed the other party’s thoughts, the Zi Zai independent cultivator couldn’t help but frown, but remained unmoved.
The other party was not wrong in their thoughts. Having a disciple was indeed nothing extraordinary, but a monstrous disciple with no shortcomings deserved to be celebrated.
Moreover, this was the only disciple of the Free Gate lineage!
My disciple, with me protecting you, do as you wish, and let’s see what other heaven-defying means you will come up with next.
…
Beast Swamp.
After realizing there was no immediate danger, Zhou Shen followed the sense of seeking fortune and avoiding evil, using the top-grade Earth Travel Talisman to carefully move in the underground.
He wasn’t concerned about how fast he was going, but safety first, as he cautiously investigated the current situation in the Beast Swamp.
Elder Liang must have had a reason for sending him to the Beast Swamp. Especially just now, his heart sensed that the omen of disaster had become a sign of great fortune. He didn’t know it was because Liang Sheng was on his way to the Beast Swamp.
Although Zhou Shen didn’t know the specifics, it showed that things were gradually improving and he had taken the right path.
In that case, Zhou Shen wouldn’t mess around. He carefully proceeded underground, and with his focus on the Horizontal Training Method, it was even more relaxed.
He had gained some benefits by now. Although the spiritual energy of the Beast Swamp was scarce, it was indeed suitable for cultivating the Horizontal Training Method.
Moreover, with Liang Sheng’s previous method of combining spiritual veins and ancient spring water, Zhou Shen’s cultivation level had unknowingly and steadily progressed.
If only he had a thousand years, there would be great surprises, but unfortunately, now time was of the essence, and there was no such time for his growth.
Just then, Zhou Shen suddenly stopped and couldn’t help but frown. How did it feel like something was wrong? Why were there formation fluctuations underground?
Zhou Shen couldn’t help but feel puzzled, as he was already deep underground. In a desolate and remote place like the Beast Swamp, this situation was indeed strange.
Furthermore, the feeling of seeking fortune and avoiding evil was also very strange, as if it was wavering between good and bad, uncertain.
What was going on?
For a short while, Zhou Shen couldn’t make up his mind.
…
The other side of the Beast Swamp.
After entering the Beast Swamp, Liang Sheng didn’t take immediate action. Upon sensing Zhou Shen’s location, he couldn’t help but feel emotional.
Zhou Shen’s luck was indeed extraordinary, as he had unknowingly stumbled upon the entrance to the Demonic Underground World.
Previously, Liang Sheng had already planned to scheme against the Demon Clan. However, some of the arrangements required him to take action himself and create a conflict of accidents.
But now it seemed that there was no need for him to act because Zhou Shen had inadvertently become the best executor of his plan in the midst of a mistake.
However, this would also mean that Zhou Shen would reap many benefits.
Could it be that there were truly children with Heaven and Earth’s destiny in the world?
As Liang Sheng thought about this, he couldn’t help but look up at the sky above, feeling as though everything had been monitored.
However, he seemed to be a little different himself. He turned several thoughts in his mind but decided to let it go for now.
In fact, under the deduction of the Law of Cause and Effect, he had also experienced this situation before, but the probability of this opportunity was less than one in a billion.
But reality had indeed happened in this situation, so it could only be said that Zhou Shen’s blessings were deep, making people sigh in admiration.
Since that’s the case, let’s help him along the way.
As for the outcome, it depends on Zhou Shen’s own fortune…
…
Underground in the Beast Swamp.
As Liang Sheng determined to continue with the plan, Zhou Shen was moving forward underground when he suddenly stepped into the void and fell into a deep, bottomless tunnel.
The entire tunnel had smooth walls, clearly constructed by someone, and not formed naturally.
Zhou Shen felt a surge of great fortune omen at this moment, and couldn’t help but wonder if there was some opportunity here.
Although Zhou Shen was extremely excited, he still proceeded cautiously without being overwhelmed by his emotions. In the Beast Swamp, safety came first.
As he carefully moved forward in the tunnel alone, there were no other disturbances. However, he didn’t know that every move he made was being watched by those with ulterior motives.
To be precise, after he fell into the tunnel, all his actions were being observed by the Demon Clan. The Demon Clan Ancestors had already gathered in the secret land of the Medicine Hall.
“Brother Hu, what should we do with this human who has trespassed? If we don’t stop him, he will soon discover our underground secrets,” said an impatient Demon Ancestor. Hu Fei did not respond, but remained silent.
The other Demon Ancestors didn’t press him, as they knew Hu Fei was considering how to deal with the situation. They wholeheartedly trusted Hu Fei’s Heavenly Fate Divine Ability.
Hu Fei was indeed contemplating, but the Spiritual Seed left by Liang Sheng hidden deep in his mind was influencing his judgement without him realizing it.
Finally, he made up his mind.
“Let him in, pretend we haven’t discovered him, and even help him. Don’t let our own people find out about his anomaly,” Hu Fei decided.
“What?”
They had to help this human disguise his Qi and make sure he wouldn’t be discovered by the underground Demon Clan?
What was going on?
Everyone was puzzled by Hu Fei’s words, but he didn’t explain. The other Demon Ancestors didn’t say much, and Huang Feng just opened his mouth.
After all the Demon Ancestors had left, Hu Fei himself looked a little confused. Was his decision really beneficial to the Demon Clan? Why did he feel a sense of relief that this human had entered the underground world?
He couldn’t explain any of it. With that in mind, he couldn’t help but glance again at Zhou Shen, who was slowly moving forward.
Was there something special about this human?
Well, they would just have to wait and see.
…
Zhou Shen continued to move forward cautiously, unaware that he had been exposed. When he entered the underground world, his eyes suddenly widened in astonishment.
What is this place?
Zhou Shen was dumbstruck.
He was amazed to find that the underground world was no different from the human world in terms of layout. Countless half-beastmen demons populated the area, dressed similarly to humans.
From time to time, street vendors called out their wares amidst the bustling streets. If not for the half-beastman appearance, Zhou Shen would have thought he was in the human world.
What was even more terrifying was the cultivation levels of the demons he encountered. There were hardly any below the Foundation Establishment realm. Wasn’t the Beast Swamp a barren land filled with low-ranking demonic beasts?
Within a short time, he had even spotted two Demon Saints equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm, and more than a hundred Gold Core Monster Kings.
As for demons comparable to the Divinity Transformation Realm of the human world, he could sense one or two as well. This made Zhou Shen’s heart race.
Longevity Immortal City had no chance of winning against these underground demons. Moreover, these underground demons had completely transformed themselves and their actions were no different from those of humans.
But why were these powerful demons hiding underground? Did they have some earth-shattering conspiracy?
If so, did Elder Liang know about it? This Beast Swamp was placed under his watch by a secret method right above Longevity Immortal City.
For a long while, Zhou Shen struggled to accept the truth. While stirred by the shocking revelation, his Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Bloodline Ability was eager to dive in.
How could he have a great fortune omen by entering the land of the demons?
All these things overwhelmed Zhou Shen.
However, when he had calmed down from the shock, he decided to let go and take the risk, because his Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Bloodline Ability had never made a mistake before.
Fortunately, he still had the Concealment Talisman that Elder Liang had given him earlier. He had been reluctant to use it before, but now he had no choice.
Whether or not Elder Liang was aware of the existence of this place, it could not be a bad thing for Zhou Shen to sneak in and investigate.
Moreover…
He touched the area over his heart…
A great fortune omen was upon him!
