Cultivation: Being Immortal Chapter 1008

Demon Domain

Cao Ying reached the Demon Domain in just one day, crossing nearly ten thousand light-years.

It wasn’t that Cao Ying was so impressive, but she took a shortcut, which was through the Heavenly Court.

Lin Jiang and Liang Long had talked, and it seemed that the Heavenly Court involved higher-dimensional areas, where the laws of space were different. Liang Long was very eager about it and had thought many times about bringing scientific instruments to study in the Heavenly Court, but Lin Jiang had stopped him, as it would be like seeking death. Eventually, Liang Long had to give up.

This time, Cao Ying was going to the Demon Domain for a scouting mission, using the Heavenly Court as a way in. She came down from somewhere in the Heavenly Court and directly arrived at the outskirts of the Demon Domain.

After that, Cao Ying’s first task was to meet with Liang Long. Cao Ying brought a lot of powerful weapons and gave half of them to Liang Long.

Cao Ying felt that sharing the Soul Fragment was not the best idea, so she thought about it and decided it was better to give it to Liang Long, letting him support Cao Ying.

"The Immortal Lord Chang Rong is not a big worry; what we should be afraid of is that this matter is directed by the Heavenly Emperor."

After listening to Cao Ying, Liang Long told her that lower-level tricks are easy to break, but what worries him is that the Immortal Lord Chang Rong might have someone behind him.

"Liang Long, do you have any stronger weapons over there that can cut down the Heavenly Emperor?"

"Cao Ying, you think too highly of me."

"After all these years, is there still no sign?"

Cao Ying said that the technology level on the surface of Blue Star has been stagnant for a long time. For thousands of years, it has been at the same level without any breakthroughs, but Cao Ying knows that Liang Long has been researching weapons with the Soul Fragment all these years.

"In the past, I had a few conversations with Buddha Master, and he told me that even the Dual Vector Foil from sci-fi movies can be blocked by him. I don’t think he’s bragging. The Heavenly Emperor and Buddha Master are at a higher level than immortals, a level we still cannot understand, so I believe the current powerful weapons cannot deal with them."

Liang Long said, "The weapon technology has reached the third generation, and the fourth generation is in development. However, there haven’t been any significant changes; it has only been made more powerful. He thinks it’s not the right time yet."

"Alright, let’s do it this way. How do you plan to cover for me?"

"I don’t trust others to take action, so I will do it myself. I can disguise myself as a demon; as long as I don’t get caught, they won’t notice."

Liang Long said that he was very skilled in this kind of disguise; it was better than any transformation technique. He could even create a presence exactly like that of a demon race. As long as he didn’t get caught, no one would be able to tell.

·······

Cao Ying also knew ordinary disguise techniques. After arriving in the Demon Domain, she created a group of puppets and infused them with her own presence, sending them to various planets in the Demon Domain.

In fact, Cao Ying didn’t need to go to such lengths; she could have received information directly from Liang Long. But this required putting on a complete act; otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to the Heavenly Court, and it could reveal Liang Long’s existence.

The Heavenly Court didn’t expect Cao Ying to gather information on the true power of the Demon Immortal. They only needed information about the strength of the Demon King and Demon Emperor in the Demon Domain.

"It seems the demon race truly has talented individuals; they should not be underestimated."

Before long, Cao Ying discovered something interesting: the technology materials that Long San brought back had already started to be put into practice on the demon race’s planet.

According to the agreement between the Demon Domain, the demon race, and the Demon Queen, the Demon Queen gave the demon race a complete set of technology materials, covering all areas, from mandatory education to graduate study materials, which also included hundreds of high-quality talents that the Demon Queen had tricked into coming.

These materials only reached the Demon Domain planet about twenty years ago, and then a large number of factories appeared for the demon race. The demon race’s approach was somewhat similar to the Buddhist sect: the demon race divided areas, marked their territory, and then drove away the demon race, leaving only the humans they enslaved, and taught those humans to use the materials.

Of course, the demon race was also sending people to learn, but their learning abilities were not impressive. Like the demon race under the Demon Queen, very few could actually absorb the knowledge; most relied on magical techniques to memorize things. They could reach the level of a college student easily, but advancing further was extremely difficult.

So after twenty years, the humans within their designated areas made great progress. This gave the demon race immediate hope, and they began to train the humans vigorously. They were not worried about a human rebellion; first, they believed that the limit of technological civilization was here. Even Blue Star couldn’t deal with immortals, so if a rebellion happened, it could be easily suppressed. Second, they also had enslavement magic to maintain control.

This scene surprised Cao Ying greatly, after all, making such decisions was no small feat. It showed great talent since enslaving humans was a tradition of the demon race, and breaking from tradition indicated powerful individuals.

"Taoist friend from the Heavenly Court, after wandering in my Demon Domain for a long time, why not rest a while on my dragon race’s planet?"

One day, a voice reached Cao Ying’s ears, causing her face to change dramatically; she realized the Demon Immortal had gotten close without her noticing.

Cao Ying’s form exploded, and in the next moment, she soared into the sky, activating the jade ruler granted by the Heavenly Court, intending to enter the Heavenly Court directly. She could go from the Heavenly Court to the Demon Domain and vice versa.

The light from the jade mirror created a path into a very strange space.

"Boom"

Just then, a giant handprint appeared and smashed the path Cao Ying was using to go to the Heavenly Court. Cao Ying fell from the path and then flew wildly to the side.

"Stay here"

Surrounding her, the Demon Immortals appeared one after another, and together, there were actually more than ten Demon Immortals attacking Cao Ying.

"Damn it"

Cao Ying felt a surge of anger; she realized she had been tricked, tricked by Immortal Lord Chang Rong. Even if her location was leaked, she shouldn’t be surrounded by so many Demon Immortals. This had to be a trap for such a thing to happen.

"Boom…"

Cao Ying charged forward, running right into a Demon Immortal. The terrifying power of the rules erupted from her, crashing like a tsunami into one of the Demon Immortals, shattering its form and breaking through the encirclement.

"What’s going on?"

The leader of the Dragon Race, Demon Immortal, furrowed his brow. The news he received was that the visitor was just a little immortal who had become an immortal for a few thousand years. How could they be so strong? Even the immortals who had been immortal for tens of thousands of years at Heavenly Court were not like this.

"Chase!"

But no matter how strong Cao Ying was, they could not let her go. All the Demon Immortals fiercely pursued her.

The demon race and Heavenly Court also infiltrated each other. This kind of thing must be dealt with swiftly; otherwise, it would be too dangerous if immortals came to spy every day.

Both sides chased each other, not knowing how far they had run, but the Demon Immortals would not give up. This made Cao Ying very worried. She was afraid to use her weapon because she couldn’t ensure that she could defeat all the Demon Immortals.

After chasing for an unknown distance, Cao Ying’s communicator suddenly received a message, and then Cao Ying dashed into the nearby meteorite belt.

"Where is he?"

"Where is he?"

"I didn’t find it."

"Where did it hide?"

A group of Demon Immortals followed closely, but after entering the meteor belt, they lost track of the person. They kept scanning with their divine senses, but found nothing, leaving all the Demon Immortals feeling amazed. They had clearly seen that immortal enter; how could they just vanish?

"My lord."

The group of Demon Immortals finally looked at the Dragon Demon Immortal, asking for his advice on what to do next.

"Search. We must break all these meteors to find them."

The Dragon Demon Immortal said, and then the group of Demon Immortals began to smash the meteors.

They believed Cao Ying was just using some kind of hiding technique, hiding on one of the meteors, so they couldn’t find her. They decided to use a simple method—smash all the meteors. How could she still hide?

This meteor belt was a moon of a planet, and there were only a few hundred thousand meteors, not too many. The group of Demon Immortals worked very hard for a long time breaking the meteors, but the immortal still disappeared.

"Go"

The Dragon Clan’s Demon Immortal looked gloomy but still ordered a retreat. Since they could not find anyone, they could not stay here for long. They needed to return to their defense as soon as possible.

After the Demon Immortal walked far away, a crack opened in a broken meteorite, and Cao Ying flew out from inside, holding a Star Chart that was wrapped in her power of rules.

She had already realized that the problem was with this Star Chart; someone had tampered with it, and Cao Ying’s face looked very grim.

"Taoist Friend Cao Ying, are you okay?"

"I’m fine, Liang Long. Thank you very much this time."

"No need to thank me. You take the things with you; I don’t have much material left. I’ll put it somewhere else."

"Okay."

Cao Ying nodded. The reason she could escape the pursuit just now was that Liang Long had done something here to help her.

Liang Long created some space treasures and hid them using special methods. He placed them in various locations so that whenever he was being chased, he could enter and hide. If no one saw him go into the space, then the pursuers would find it very difficult to know about it. Liang Long set up no fewer than twenty of these escape routes.
