AST 1568 - Third Palace Lord Jin Liyu Immortal Demon Demon Essence? Myriad existences reverting to origin (2/2)
……
The host of demons that saw Muyun Qingge hurriedly saluted in respect, but she casually waved her hands signalling them to drop the formalities, as she led Qing Shui through the palaces, towards the most awe-inspiring palace.
The palaces in the cluster only got bigger the further back it was situated, indicating the noble positions of their owners, giving rise in Qing Shui a newfound curiosity, as he scanned his surroundings throughout the journey.
This formation-world was akin to a natural formation. It required the energy from crystals to exist and served as a natural barrier, and by now, he had already seen many existences that uncannily resemble humans, some even had the aura of humans.
Muyun Qingge did mention it before, that the Sea King’s Palace did have some humans, who were typically experts that were driven to a corner, and their less outstanding offspring, that could only exist down here.
“The Palace Lord has returned!”
A deep, powerful voice rang. Qing Shui curiously veered over, where he saw a young man, a stout figure, incisive eyes, a tightly closed mouth and an upright posture.
Qing Shui could not tell if he was human… but the hint of aura uncharacteristic of humans in his body was much greater than Muyun Qingge.
“Yu Lang, I trust there were no problems in my absence. Did the Sea Dragon Palace and the Vicious Shark Palace make any moves?” Muyun Qingge said and smiled.
Qing Shui could detect that this man was very strong, and though he seemed young, his real age should be at least more than ten times his own.
The lifespans of demons was already terrifyingly long. Each demon here was likely to have gone through millennia of cultivation, as they would have existed for countless years without their own consciousness, and this time could not be calculated.
“We’re still holding the fort. The Sea Dragon Palace and Vicious Shark palace had attacked several times, but with the leadership of the Second Palace Lord and the Third Palace Lord, our defense held through, causing them to retreat voluntarily.” Yuliang quickly said, as he followed behind Qing Shui and Muyun Qingge.
Qing Shui knew that there were three Sea King Palaces in the Ice Ocean Domain, and that the other two should be the Sea Dragon Palace and the Vicious Shark Palace. He could guess the controlling faction of the other two Sea King Palaces.
Sea Dragon, was a powerful existence; they belonged to the race of true dragons, while the Vicious Shark Palace purplexed Qing Shui... could it belong to the Shark race? Sharks did not only refer to just sharks, but was a group of terrifying existences,
Vicious Shark Palace’s power probably stemmed from a group of vicious sharks, though Qing Shui was only guessing. But, with his basic understanding, to be able to match the power of Sea Dragons, the Vicious Sharks would probably be far from simple existences.
“En, I got it, do not slacken off on their training.” Muyun Qingge said.
Yu Lang nodded before backing down, without ever asking about Qing Shui’s identity, showing that although he had a considerable status, it was far from being qualified enough.
Qing Shui was curious towards everything, when suddenly a powerful aura swept the area, and a handsome young man appeared before him.
“The Palace Lord has returned!”
Qing Shui looked at this man seriously, he was no different from ordinary humans, his aura not at all inferior to Muyun Qingge, eyes brimming with confidence, with a hint of lust as he stared at Muyun Qingge.
But his expression was still genuine!
“Third Palace Lord has exited secluded meditation.” Muyun Qingge lightly said.
“En, I’ve been out for three days, this sir is?” He smiled at Qing Shui as he asked.
“He is Qing Shui, he is here to help us overcome our crisis.” Muyun Qingge answered smilingly, Yiye Jiange and Qing Shui’s relationship was a secret only she knew, the Third Palace Lord had no idea.
“Welcome, welcome, I am Jin Liyu.” The man said.
Qing Shui did not dislike this man, nor did he have any good impressions, but he smiled as he greeted him.
“Palace Lord, I’ve arranged for a banquet, Qing Shui can come along!” smiled before leaving.
Qing Shui was displeased, this sentence spoke volumes about his unwelcoming of Qing Shui, to actually tell him to come along, but Great Official Qing was a magnanimous person, plus he could immediately tell that this Jin Liyu liked Muyun Qingge.
“This guy‘s name is truly strange.” Qing Shui smiled as he looked towards Muyun Qingge.
“This isn’t strange at all, he’s a naturally-born spiritual carp that swallowed a stalk of Amber Grass to have become this powerful.” Muyun Qingge laughed.
“There are countless fantastical events in the boundless world, why does it seem like he is no different from humans.” Qing Shui smiled.
“At this level, there really are no differences from normal humans, the human race’s specialty is its high intelligence and awareness, but the spiritual beasts at this level, already have intelligence and awarenesses equal to humans. They could be considered human themselves.”
Qing Shui could accept the carp spirits; this world’s demon beasts would become more intelligent the stronger they grew. For example, he could now mentally converse with his own demon beasts, they could not be considered to be pure beasts given their intelligence.
The legendary Xianxia worlds of his previous life, Immortals, demons, spirits, most of them were beast-related, such as the Great Roc Immortal, the Fox Immortal and the Deer Immortal…
Qing Shui was easily able to adapt here; at this level the physical form didn’t matter, strength was absolute.
“Many of the peak False God experts that I know of are Immortal Demons, and all of them can change forms; they are already used to the mannerisms and habits of humans. Humans only need tens of years to be used to the world, while demons have thousands of years to accustom themselves, hence they are not much different from humans.
