Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi retched as they clenched each other's hands.
The thought that the water surrounding them was corpse water made their skin itch.
The loudest retching sound came from Patriarch Wuzhiqi.
Wuzhiqi, the patriarch, boasted that he was invincible in the water and could breathe freely underwater, so he never opened his protective shield.
The old ancestor, while gagging, asked:
"Don't you guys put anglerfish in the lake? At least clean up the water! I can smell the stench of corpses from hundreds of meters away!"
Mo Yue frowned and said disapprovingly:
"Although anglerfish can clean the water, they eat the eggs of other fish, thus squeezing out their living space."
Never raise them in a lake, or it will be the beginning of a great disaster!
When all life in Yunmeng Marsh disappears, leaving only the anglerfish, who will provide the spiritual energy?
Ancestor Wuzhiqi quickly formed a hand seal, casting a water-repelling spell on himself. He murmured:
"Alright, alright, I give up. The lake is indeed not as clean as the sea."
Demon Moon asked:
"Now that you've seen it, do you have any way to get rid of the evil energy here?"
I dared not go any further. Beset by malevolent energy, given our age, we might only have a few years left to live.
“This…” Ancestor Wuzhiqi scratched his head helplessly: “Let’s solve the spiritual energy problem of the True Treasure Continent first, and then I’ll deal with the evil energy of Yunmeng Marsh. There’s a proper order to things.”
Having already spoken, Ancestor Wuzhiqi could only resort to delaying tactics.
Such shameless behavior caused the four demon ancestors to roll their eyes in unison.
"Since we can't solve this, let's go. We'll take you to the real Yunmeng Marsh!"
After saying this, Mowu took the lead and went upstream.
Zhao Ziyi blinked curiously:
"Ancestor, isn't this Yunmeng Marsh?"
Where are we going next?
Wuzhiqi said in a low voice:
"Actually, I don't visit other people's places much, except for the demon race. This is my first time in the demon race, so I don't know much about them. We can just follow along."
The group quickly rose to the surface and headed towards the center of Yunmeng Marsh. In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they reached the surface of Yunmeng Marsh.
The four demon ancestors stood in the center of the lake and chanted an incantation towards the lake surface.
In an instant, a round mirror, shimmering with silver light and about ten meters wide, formed beneath the feet of the four people.
This round mirror is different from the surrounding seawater; it is truly silver.
The Demon Crow Ancestor laughed:
"Yunmengze, a place where one can dream of resting in a vast marsh, is a natural place where one can travel to the opposite side of reality."
You may call it the Dreamland; the Dreamland is also a real continent.
"Come with me, and I'll show you the true territory of the demons!"
After speaking, the Demon Crow Ancestor jumped up first and fell into the silver mirror with a thud.
Zhao Ziyi looked down and saw that although the Demon Crow Ancestor had fallen into the Silver Mirror, there were no ripples underwater.
Demon Moon laughed:
"Everyone, you may now enter the true land of the demons."
Upon hearing Mo Yue's words, Ancestor Wuzhiqi grasped the belts around Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi's waists and instructed them:
"Don't be afraid, you two come with me, I'll catch you. Let's go."
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi nodded.
The three of them moved at the same time, closing their eyes and leaping directly into the silver mirror.
The next second, the humid air disappeared.
Song Chen stepped onto solid ground and heard a noisy commotion.
He opened his eyes and saw a strangely shaped building standing tall in the distance.
This is a huge square, paved entirely with stones.
In the center of the square stand four enormous statues carved from white stone.
These four statues are clearly the four demon ancestors from earlier, Wujiang Tayue.
Zhao Ziyi said in surprise:
"The prototype of Gothic architecture!"
The art and culture of the demon race has actually taken this path!
Gothic architecture also emphasizes square shapes, but because the rocks are square, mortise and tenon joints cannot be used as they are prone to collapse. Therefore, piers and flying buttresses are added on top of the building. Pointed vaults and spires are also added.
As a result, Gothic architecture became increasingly taller, emphasizing a high and spacious interior, as well as simplicity and uniformity.
The beauty of all lies in unity.
And so came the Rock Plaza, the Rock Street, and all the rock-decorated ornaments.
The Demon race's current architecture resembles Gothic style, but it also has significant differences.
Because the core of the architecture is still Chinese style.
While the three were observing these buildings.
The Demon Crow Ancestor walked slowly over, and he smiled proudly:
"What Gothic? This is the architectural style of the Demon Race. What do you think? Aren't our buildings a bit different? Beautiful, right?"
Wuzhiqi, the old ancestor, came to his senses and pursed his lips, saying:
"It's alright, but you get tired of it after a while."
I see this place is all bare and there's no sunlight, so you must have run out of timber, which is why you built the houses with stone. It must have been hard work.”
The Demon Crow Ancestor twitched his lips, unsure how to refute it. Because Wuzhiqi was right.
In the demon realm, a set of wooden furniture, a wooden futon, and a wooden bed are indeed considered luxurious and indulgent items.
The sky over the demon realm is always grayish-white, with no blue sky and no sunshine.
The three old ancestors of the Demon Moon then came to their side.
Demon Moon laughed:
"We've now landed on the territory of the Demon Academy. There are quite a few people around, shall we move on?"
Ancestor Wuzhiqi nodded.
The elders took flight again, heading to the very top of a building not far away.
It was a stone pavilion similar to the Wangjiang Tower.
Inside the stone pavilion, there is also a stone-carved Eight Immortals table.
"Ahem!" Mo Wu coughed twice, then began to flatter with a clear purpose: "Please take a seat, both of you bosses."
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi sat down side by side, and Song Chen tactfully took out a set of banquet dishes that he had prepared earlier from his storage bag.
The banquet consisted of 19 dishes. Although the ingredients were all ordinary second or third-tier ingredients from the Spicy Palace, the portions were generous and filling. The dishes were also rich in spiritual energy, tasted delicious, and contained chaotic energy.
Song Chen said with a smile:
"You must all be tired from your long journey. Why don't we eat and chat at the same time to replenish our spiritual energy?"
The four demon ancestors began drooling the moment the dishes were served.
After so long, they can finally enjoy a meal at Spicy Palace again!
Mo Wu wiped his mouth and grinned foolishly:
"Hehe, yes, let's eat and chat! Let's eat and chat!"
Mo Yue clicked her tongue and quickly chose a seat:
"Alright, let's eat and chat. The two bosses have really gone to great lengths, bringing out nineteen dishes!"
We demons are poor and have nothing to offer our two masters.
If the boss doesn't mind, you can stay in my demon race's cultivation secret realm for a few more days.
Upon seeing the food, the four demon ancestors were in high spirits and all expressed their intention to provide Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi with more cultivation resources.
Song Chen smiled and said:
"Haha, no problem, we're just thinking of that!"
