King of Creation Chapter 2057 - 2042: Difficult Journey Home
Previously on King of Creation...
Ye Zhen’s current landing place is neither a dangerous nor secret forbidden land, nor has he unexpectedly entered a stronghold of any military force or fallen into the midst of a million troops.
The place he landed is very quiet, it’s a hillside where knee-high grass emits a mysteriously sweet fragrance, and many small animals with poor spirit perception are rustling about.
Quiet and harmonious!
What shocked Ye Zhen was not the environment, but the aura of this land!
Different worlds emit different aura fluctuations.
Generally, martial artists cannot sense this difference, but martial artists with powerful primordial spirits can feel these subtle differences.
For instance, the land of the Primordial Continent has a different environment, giving martial artists different aura fluctuations, but generally it is a kind of thick aura with infinite vitality, yet containing a kind of ancient vastness.
The land beneath Ye Zhen’s feet also emits extremely thick aura fluctuations, with infinite vitality, but lacks the unique ancient vastness of the Primordial Continent.
In other words, the place Ye Zhen landed is not the Desolate Land Continent.
According to Ye Zhen’s expectations, leaving the Demon Soul Realm should allow him to return to the Primordial Continent. No matter where he appeared on the Primordial Continent, Ye Zhen believed, with his abilities, that he could return to North Sea County within three to five months at most.
Then, he would proceed with matters regarding the Human Demon Battlefield, and time was relatively ample, so Ye Zhen was not anxious at all.
However, now, after leaving the Demon Soul Realm, Ye Zhen did not return to the Primordial Continent as anticipated, throwing his plans into chaos.
Even more problematic, according to Ye Zhen’s senses, if he wasn’t mistaken, the place he landed should be the Taimeng Demon Realm.
This is rather critical.
If he cannot directly return to the Primordial Continent from the Demon Soul Realm, but has to return via the Taimeng Demon Realm, not only will it be more cumbersome, but the time it will consume is also uncertain.
Thus, Ye Zhen’s schedule becomes extremely pressing.
The Great Zhou’s military orders must not be defied.
Rain or shine, they must be fulfilled.
Military Department orders are not to be trifled with; if overdue, Ye Zhen will be sentenced to execution, his home confiscated, and titles revoked. Even the subordinates of Ye Zhen’s North Sea County would face collective punishment, with execution being the lightest consequence.
Ye Zhen can ascertain that the only Two-World Passage to leave the Demon Soul Realm didn’t have any issues.
The Two-World Passage didn’t have issues, yet Ye Zhen appeared not in the expected Primordial Continent but back in the Taimeng Demon Realm, then most likely Ye Zhen’s understanding is flawed.
"Achou, explain what’s going on?" Ye Zhen naturally asked the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit, Achou.
This guy, albeit foul-mouthed and unpleasant to listen to at times, really has unmatched insight.
"My Lord Ye, why would you think that way? This incident is, in fact, as it should be!"
"As it should be? What do you mean?"
"You mean that when I came out, I should have appeared in the Taimeng Demon Realm?"
"Exactly, that’s how it is."
The Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou shook his head, "When you were in the Demon Soul Realm, you entered from the Taimeng Demon Realm, so naturally you would exit back into the Taimeng Demon Realm."
"No!"
After thinking for a moment, Ye Zhen shook his head, "Do you remember when I tracked Yuann Hongying and went to the Yuann Family’s Hongqing Realm to retrieve the Void-Slaughtering Radiance?"
"At that time, after getting the Void-Slaughtering Radiance, to avoid the Dao Realm Eunuch Fuq, I directly used the War Soul Blood Flag to open a passage and escape into the Demon Soul Realm.
Later, after leaving the Demon Soul Realm, I directly returned to the Primordial Continent.
Entering the Demon Soul Realm from the Hongqing Realm enabled direct return to the Primordial Continent, why is it not possible from the Taimeng Demon Realm?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Damn it, this is related to world tiers."
"Although the Hongqing Realm is situated within the Chaos, refining Earth, Water, Wind, and Water elements, its grade is just a common Little World.
Your Demon Soul Realm, in terms of its current grade, is also a common Little World, but its origin is a common Great World. As long as there’s enough resources and time, the Demon Soul Realm can grow into a common Great World."
"However, the Taimeng Demon Realm is an All Heavens Small World, its grade is comparable to the Primordial Continent and higher than your Demon Soul Realm.
Originally, even though the Demon Soul Realm is an independent, self-contained Little World, due to lack of refining Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire within the Chaos, it moves within the Chaotic Void in a special trajectory without fixed location.
Thus, although its Two-World Passage exists, its exit location is always changing with each change."
"And its movement trajectory is subtly influenced by the Realm-Control Spirit Treasure War Soul Blood Flag. For instance, when you use the War Soul Blood Flag in the Taimeng Demon Realm, the Demon Soul Realm would invisibly lean towards the direction of the Taimeng Demon Realm and be influenced by its aura.
Using it within the Primordial Continent would be impacted by the Primordial Continent’s aura.
Only worlds with tiers stronger than the Demon Soul Realm can influence it. The Hongqing Realm’s tier is inferior to the Demon Soul Realm, thus could not affect its position, allowing the Demon Soul Realm to continue being influenced by the last place where the Realm-Control Spirit Treasure was activated—the Primordial Continent.
Thus, you could directly return to the Primordial Continent from the Hongqing Realm, but the Taimeng Demon Realm is different; its tier surpasses the Demon Soul Realm too greatly."
After this explanation, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou cautiously asked, "My Lord, did you understand?"
Ye Zhen slowly nodded with a fleeting bitter smile.
He’s lacking knowledge.
If he had more knowledge in this area, he wouldn’t make such errors.
He didn’t expect different world tiers would affect this matter.
It seems Ye Zhen’s idea of directly returning to the Primordial Continent through the Demon Soul Realm is dashed.
So, Ye Zhen carefully started planning and calculating his route for returning to the Primordial Continent.
Counting, it’s been ten months since Ye Zhen last left the Taimeng Demon Realm.
Ten months is quite a long time for ordinary people, but for Dao Realm, it may just be a blink.
Ye Zhen believes that Tu Zheng, the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, and the Stone Monkey Saint, would not easily give up trying to hunt down Ye Zhen and his party.
The only passage for Ye Zhen to leave the Taimeng Demon Realm is the Two-World Teleportation Formation there, and with Tu Zheng’s wisdom, he would certainly deploy a heavy setup there, searching for Ye Zhen’s traces.
The crucial problem is that if it were anywhere else, even if Tu Zheng had some setups, considering Ye Zhen’s current strength, sacrificing the Wish Power of All Living Beings, there would somehow be a chance to break through.
However, the Two-World Teleportation Formation in the Taimeng Demon Realm is encamped with two vast military cities of the Human Clan and the Demon Race, posing a never-ending threat if things go wrong.
If it was usual times, Ye Zhen wouldn’t care.
He could afford the time; even ten years or eight wouldn’t bother Ye Zhen, as he could wait it out.
Yet, the Military Department’s orders are there; Ye Zhen must return within half a year to avoid any delays.
Thus, this departure becomes incredibly perilous.
As for other methods, Ye Zhen hasn’t overlooked them either.
There are some Two-World Passages between the Taimeng Demon Realm and other worlds.
However, since the incident of animosity with the Great Zhou ten thousand years ago, worlds capable of establishing Two-World Passages with the Taimeng Demon Realm cannot establish any with the Primordial Continent.
If Ye Zhen maneuvered through them, who knows how long it would take him to return to the Primordial Continent.
Of course, there might be some highly secret and unknown Two-World Passages, but it’s exceptionally difficult for Ye Zhen to discover them in a short time.
Ultimately, after careful consideration, Ye Zhen still decided to head towards the Taimeng Demon Realm’s Two-World Teleportation Formation and figure things out then.
After all, Ye Zhen possesses the Mirage Dragon’s Mirage Energy and the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape.
What Ye Zhen did not know was that as soon as he arrived in the Taimeng Demon Realm, the Clan Leader of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, Tu Zheng, suddenly opened his eyes with a cold smile!
