Chapter 10: Heavenly Court
At night, the monkeys, supported by hoarfrost, walk slowly through the misty forest. It is followed by a big red, a black tail, a bull's head, and a fat intestine. As for Yin Xing, he was ahead of the curve.
The fog in this forest does not dissipate all year round, and even in the daytime, it is only less than ten zhang of visual distance, and once it is night, it can be said that it is completely unclear.
Not even moonshine.
Helpless, Yin Xing had no choice but to stretch out his hand and condense a ball of spiritual power, which was used as illumination.
However, even so, the group stumbled and bumped, stumbling twice on this vine and that root from time to time, and was embarrassed.
Finally, when he tripped over the fifteenth vine, the monkey became a little impatient: "That...... Senior brother, how far is it?"
"I'm not your brother yet. Yin Xing glanced back at him.
"Okay, okay. The monkey sighed helplessly and said, "You can call it whatever you want." This...... How far is it? We've been walking for hours. β
"I can't tell. Holding the spiritual power in his palm, Yin Xing looked into the distance and said, "If it's normal, it's only half an hour at most." However, I don't walk down the mountain on weekdays. β
"Then how do you get down the mountain?"
"Jump. β
"Yue?" the monkey's brow furrowed.
Without continuing to explain, Yin Xing held on to his spiritual power, and continued to walk forward, saying, "We haven't come out of the fog yet, that is to say, we are still at least half the way away. In this way, I am afraid that it will be necessary until dawn. However, if you want to apprentice, you can't even walk this little way, and there is nothing to say. β
"Did I say I couldn't go?" the monkey hurriedly shouted, "I just ...... If you're hurt, just ask. No, you said that the dawn would come, didn't I have a count in my heart?"
Big Red panted and leaned over to his side and asked in a low voice, "Do you think he's going to trick us?" β
Hearing this, the monkey couldn't help but sneer and said, "Have you forgotten that you were chased and killed by a monster? β
Looking at the monkey's face covered with cold sweat and somewhat pale face, White Frost asked in a low voice, "Do you want to take a break?"
"No, I don't. The monkey waved his hand and said, "Let's go." β
Gritting his teeth, he stepped forward again.
......
At this moment, in the deep space, the silver light that shattered from the remote beads on the chariot had already flown over thousands of miles, but it was still increasing in height.
Gradually, in the pitch-black deep space, another silver light that was exactly like it and flew in the same direction. Followed by the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth...... In the end, countless silver lights converged into a silver river - this is the heavenly river!
The rushing river flowed slowly in the dark depths of the sky.
Around the river, there are one saucer-shaped floating island after another, on which grass and trees grow, just like the islands of the mortal world.
In fact, such places are almost everywhere in the entire deep space, but they can only be seen clearly in the dark night with the help of the light of the heavenly river.
If you look up from the mortal world at this time, they become stars in the sky.
A warship flying the banner of the sword of the waves slowly sailed on the heavenly river formed by the convergence of silver light, and the deck was full of elite soldiers wearing silver armor and armed to the teeth.
Gradually, as the number of warships increased, one sentry after another appeared on the pumice rocks around it, and small harbors were even directly converted into fortresses.
On the buildings like mortal walls, there were columns of heavenly soldiers patrolling back and forth. On the suspended dock, huge booms are loading and unloading various supplies.
A heavenly general stood on the watchtower at the top of the fortress and watched the heavenly river go away.
As the silver water gathers more and more, they eventually merge into a silver ocean that illuminates the entire sky.
Above the silver ocean, there are countless floating islands, layers of ports, and fleets that cover the sky like locusts.
Some are so big that they can no longer be described as simply "floating islands". The towers standing, the barracks all over the place, and the huge school field are one military formation after another.
Countless celestial armies in full gear lined up here. The neatly erected halberds resemble the boundless woods.
As they continued to advance towards the middle of the Silver Sea, passing through the outer defense network guarded by the Tianhe Naval Army, what came into view was a seven-story Optimus Towerβor rather, seven separate pieces, suspended in mid-air, and descended to the top, arranged from large to small, forming a huge tower-like suspended land.
At the bottom, the largest piece of land is dozens of miles wide. On each floor, there are fortresses, buildings, towers, school grounds, barracks, soldiers, and warships.
Unlike the Tianhe Water Army, which wore silver armor and hung the banner of the Wave Sword, this was another strong force of Heavenly Court, and their soldiers were wearing golden armor and hanging the Tianmen Banner, which symbolized the defenders of Nantianmen Town.
And at the bottom of that, under the huge land that was ten miles wide, was a huge cavity dozens of miles wide.
The silver light that converged from all the three realms, and the silver ocean broke off here, forming countless waterfalls and pouring into it.
Outside the hollow is the mortal world in the night, but inside the hollow, it is the heavenly court in the daytime.
Countless landmasses are suspended in the sky, or covered with greenery and vegetation, or built layers of palaces. The layers of suspended land are connected by flowing water like a curtain of beads.
The silver water fell all the way to the bottom, forming an endless "Sea of Wishing Power", nourishing the huge trees that grew on the island directly below the Nantianmen Gate and were hundreds of miles high.
Countless immortals walked through the branches like flying insects.
A flower withered and quickly grew a fruit.
A gentleman plucked the fruit and slashed it with a knife. The fruit was split in two, but it was empty.
A golden light flew out of the fruit, converging into a line of words in the air. The Qing family hurriedly took a note and wrote it down.
Soon, countless books and slips of the Qing family recording the Chinese characters of the fruit were gathered together and piled up. Under Xian'e's classification, Shujian was sent to different suspended ships one after another and sent to all corners of the Heavenly Court.
......
In the Heaven Survey Mansion, dozens of Heavenly Court's servants kept moving batches of books and slips from the suspended ships docked at the side gate harbor.
In the spacious hall, dozens of scribes sat at their desks and carefully flipped through them, approving them one by one, divided into four different grades: A, B, C, and D, and then presented to different generals by the commissioners.
A long-bearded heavenly general opened a Grade B book and was slightly stunned.
"What's wrong?" a bearded general walked over.
Judging from the rank, this bearded general should be the highest-ranking in this entire hall.
The long-bearded Heavenly General raised his head slightly and said, "The two people sent out to hunt down the White Bone Spirit have been killed. β
"Huh?" the bearded man reached out suspiciously, took the book from the long-bearded general's hand, spread it out in his hand, and examined it carefully.
"Our estimation of the White Bone Spirit is correct, it is true that it has only been transformed for many years, and it is not a cultivation path. If the calculation was wrong, the two of them would not act rashly. The ones who started killing people were the six demon generals of the Lion Camel King who came out of nowhere. Also, in addition to the white bone spirit, there is another spirit demon, which is a stone monkey. β
"The two spirit demons are still in their immaturity. The bearded general snorted, rolled up the book in his hand, and threw it back on the table of the long-bearded general.
"Another team?"
The bearded general glanced at the long-bearded general and said lightly: "Do we still have manpower to send now?"
As he spoke, he had already picked up two wooden cards, took a pen from the pen holder of the long-bearded general, dipped it in some ink and began to write.
"The two spirit demons are still in their immature stage, but they don't matter. The six Demon Generals of the God Refining Realm are still under the command of the Lion Camel King, and there may be other reinforcements at any time. To be safe, there must be at least twenty Refining God Realm Heavenly Generals, or three to five Transforming God Realm Heavenly Generals. Where are we going to get these manpower now?"
Hearing this, the long-bearded heavenly general couldn't help but sigh: "However, the spirit demon is the most difficult to deal with among the six clans of the demon country, if you don't kill it now, once the strength of this white bone spirit and stone monkey matures, it will be a disaster in the future." β
"What's the solution? Although it's a spirit demon, it's just a spirit demon that hasn't yet taken shape. It's a scourge, and it's also a matter of the future, where is it urgent now? Besides, they entered Wanshou Mountain, the territory of Wanshou Daxian, and it was really difficult to deal with it. β
After that, the bearded man put the two wooden cards written in his hand on the red plate on the side, and said, "Stone monkey, offer a reward of 1,000 pure gold, white bone essence, 1,200 pure gold." A wanted criminal with a thousand pure gold, where can it be more expensive than the head of the six demon kings who have tens of millions of pure gold? Now that all the troops are abnormally mobilized, you can't keep an eye on it. What's more, the nine-headed insect at the top of the wanted list has also entered the demon capital...... Recently, the demon capital has been really fucking lively. β
When he said this, the bearded man frowned slightly, with a hint of ridicule.
"Send someone to Wanshou Mountain to worship the mountain, find the Taoist priest who reported the white bone essence, and wait for the opportunity. One is fine, but if you go too much, you won't be allowed to enter. β
"No!" replied simply, and the long-bearded tensho opened a white blank ribbon and began to write carefully.
......
Demon capital, dungeon.
There was a commotion in the distance.
Ao Tingxin stood in front of the window and looked out, and asked softly, "What happened?"
"It looks like a hydra is coming. A crab general reported.
"Hydra?" Hearing the name, Ao Ting's heart was stunned for a moment.
"Why, is the hydra so popular?" asked Princess Nuan Nuan in a low voice.
"Not popular. Staring at the source of the hustle and bustle outside the book, Ao Tingxin replied expressionlessly: "The nine-headed insect is the first great demon on the Heavenly Court's wanted list, and the nominal great elder of the Yu clan, but it is also the feud of the demon emperor Jun. According to the regulations, it is impossible for him to appear in the demon capital. β
"That's ......"
"There's a drama to watch. β
