PDLP Chapter 297 Nascent Soul Leader, Star Shuttle Departs
Chapter 297 Nascent Soul Leader, Star Shuttle Departs
Demon world.
Dark and deep, with no dawn ever breaking.
As one of the eleven plagues, the Parasitic Clan, with its unpredictable parasitic techniques, silently controls the bodies of countless cultivators, turning them into puppets, and has become one of the overlords of the Demon Realm.
A few days ago, a member of the tribe named Ji Chao accidentally discovered an unknown new world, but was seriously injured by spatial turbulence. He left behind only a faint distress signal and then disappeared without a trace.
Hong Ling, Huang Laomo, and Jin Lei, Ji Chao's three old friends, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news.
They had been hunting down the Jiu Clan together, attempting to kill them and steal their treasures, but Ji Chao and the target of their hunt were caught in a spatial turbulence and disappeared.
For so long, they had not received any contact from Ji Chao and assumed he was dead.
Surviving the spatial turbulence was already incredibly lucky, let alone discovering a new lower realm as a result. In their eyes, Ji Chao's situation was truly a case of good fortune turning into misfortune, and his luck turning around after all his bad luck.
The three quickly assembled and prepared to depart according to the spatial coordinates left by Ji Chao.
At this time, the clan dispatched two more powerful individuals—Ji Ying and Kuang Dao—to go together and verify the authenticity of the news from the New Territories.
Ji Ying, now parasitizing a sword cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, has a tall and straight figure and a cold and aloof temperament.
He was dressed in black, and the sword at his waist was as bright as autumn water, exuding a powerful sword intent.
Not long ago, his identity as a parasite was exposed, and he was hunted down by his former master and friends from the original world. He finally escaped back to the mother nest after going through countless hardships.
He was chosen as the leader of this operation because of his profound cultivation.
Mad Blade, a burly man carrying a sword on his back, exudes a murderous aura and has sharp eyes.
This person is a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and a genius in swordsmanship. He has just made a name for himself as the Mad Blade in the outside world, but this has also caused him a lot of grudges.
His secret return to the Demon Realm was to avoid the limelight and take the opportunity to seek new opportunities for improvement.
Old Demon Huang had a gloomy face and deep-set eyes, giving people a chilling feeling.
Several storage bags hung from his waist, bulging and full, undoubtedly containing countless rare treasures. His cultivation was at the late Nascent Soul stage; his strength was not to be underestimated.
Hong Ling, a tall woman, dressed in fiery red, was as beautiful as a flower and possessed a cultivation level of mid-Nascent Soul.
She is skilled in fire magic, and her blazing serpent whip is incredibly powerful.
Jin Lei was parasitizing a golden-winged roc demon. When its wings were spread, they shone with golden light and exuded an imposing aura.
His cultivation level was also at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, but with the help of a small amount of the Roc's bloodline power, his strength was comparable to that of a late-Nascent Soul stage expert.
After the five of them had assembled, Ji Ying glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Now that everyone is ready, let's set off. This exploration of the new realm carries a heavy responsibility."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Exploring new realms is full of unknowns, but their journey involves a full-fledged Nascent Soul cultivator and four Nascent Soul cultivators, along with a statue blessed by the God of Plague. Suppressing a small world should be a piece of cake for them.
The five people stood in the teleportation array and disappeared in a flash.
When they reappeared, they were already on the edge of the Demon Realm, in a vast, empty area.
The place was deserted and silent, but it was, after all, the Demon Realm, hiding countless unknown dangers, so no one dared to be careless.
Ji Ying flicked her hand across her storage ring, releasing the Star Shuttle.
This small, shuttle-shaped spacecraft shimmered faintly in the starry sky.
He immediately led everyone onto the star shuttle and sped toward the spatial coordinates.
The Milky Way stretches endlessly, seemingly without end.
Only those with a cultivation level of at least Nascent Soul can easily control the Star Shuttle and travel between different worlds.
Ji Ying possessed profound cultivation and was the main controller of the Star Shuttle, traversing the starry sky with ease. When he used up half of his spiritual energy and needed to rest, Huang Laomo and Kuangdao took turns taking over.
Standing on the star shuttle, the group looked at the ever-changing starry scenery around them and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
If one were to rely on their own flight, it would take decades or even centuries to reach the next world, which would be an incredibly long and tedious journey.
Moreover, they would face threats such as raids on cultivators and spatial storms along the way, making the journey fraught with danger.
In comparison, traveling by star shuttle or interdimensional celestial vessel is much more convenient and safer.
Therefore, although this star shuttle is small, it is of extraordinary value.
After flying for months and enduring countless hardships, they finally crossed the starry sky safely and arrived at this mysterious little world.
They descended upon the misty mountain region, where Ji Chao had last sent his message.
Before me lay a quiet yet desolate mountain wilderness.
Although the buildings on and at the foot of the mountain still stand, they are long gone, making them look particularly desolate.
The spiritual energy here was thin, and all five of them frowned slightly, their faces showing displeasure.
Without any attempt to conceal their intentions, they directly unleashed their divine senses, sweeping across a radius of a hundred miles in a simple and brutal manner, yet they failed to discover any trace of anyone.
Hongling was worried and carefully searched every corner, hoping to find Ji Chao's whereabouts.
Suddenly, her divine sense caught a faint trace, and she was overjoyed. She immediately flew to that spot.
"Look here, there are signs of a battle," Hong Ling said, pointing to the marks on the ground.
Upon hearing this, Old Demon Huang immediately squatted down to examine the body carefully.
He rubbed some dust between his fingers, sniffed it lightly, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes: "There is the aura of a demonic beast here, but it's not high-ranking, only second-tier."
He made his judgment, his tone tinged with relief.
Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted.
Although they were only second-tier demonic beasts, this meant they might be closer to Ji Chao.
Ji Ying nodded and said, "Very good, let's continue searching around here."
Jin Lei flapped his wings and soared into the sky, hovering in the air in the form of a demon beast.
With sharp eyes, he constantly scanned the terrain below, and soon he made a new discovery.
"I've discovered a buried entrance that seems to lead underground," Jin Lei's voice came from the air, tinged with excitement.
With a flap of his wings, he swooped down, transformed into human form, and pointed to a hidden entrance not far away.
Upon hearing this, Kuangdao drew his broadsword from his back, the blade gleaming with a chilling light in the sunlight.
"Then let's not waste any more time, let's go."
After saying that, he strode forward and took the lead towards the entrance. He used his broadsword to slash out a blood-red blade of light, clearing away the nearby weeds and making the cave entrance, which was hidden by the boulder, even bigger.
Ji Ying followed without hesitation. Old Demon Huang cast several protective talismans to protect himself before entering.
Hong Ling and Jin Lei followed closely behind, each taking out their magical treasures for protection.
The underground space was surprisingly spacious, and the air was filled with a strange spiritual energy.
There, they discovered a strange white crystal barrier.
These crystal barriers continuously radiate spiritual energy, forming halos of light.
