Chapter 856: Wang Pei Zhi Becomes a Heaven Weapon Refiner
Unlike most protagonists in other stories who venture into dangerous places to obtain inheritances, Shenlian Yingyue did not receive any inheritance from the previous Demon Emperor during her journey to the Abyssal Throne Ruins.
However, what she gained was worth a fortune. These treasures could shake the entire Nine Realms.
Speaking of the Nine Realms, she remembered that last time, Shen Xian had told her that when she ascended to True Immortal, something had happened to the realms. But he refused to tell her what exactly it was.
"Wait." As she spoke, she suddenly raised her hand to stop several people from walking.
Shenlian Yinzhu, Jun Mu Yang, Zhiyi, Bing Xue, Shenlian Sheshan, Xiong Zi Ying, and Bu Si Shu paused slightly.
"Wow, so many demons waiting outside." Xiao Li, who was sitting on Shenlian Yingyue’s left shoulder, exclaimed in amusement.
At the entrance of the Abyssal Throne Ruins, countless demons had gathered. There were all types of demons, and never before had they seen so many in one place. It was as if the entire Demon Realm had assembled here.
"Not good, Master. Let’s find another exit." Xiao Lan narrowed his eyes, his tiger tail swinging back and forth before wrapping intimately around Shenlian Yingyue’s slender neck.
"Why are they here?" Zhiyi was taken aback.
"Because someone has obtained the inheritance of the previous Demon Emperor. It alarmed the entire Demon Realm, so they want to see who was lucky enough to receive it," Xiao Yun explained, enjoying the warmth of being held in Shenlian Yingyue’s arms.
"Troublesome," Bu Si Shu muttered, crossing his arms. He still preferred to float in the air with his bare feet.
"We have to find another exit. Master, can I see your map again?" Shenlian Yingyue turned to look at Xiong Zi Ying.
"Here. There are three exits from the Abyssal Throne Ruins. Two lead to gates that connect to forbidden lands in the Demon Realm. The last exit is near an abandoned city," Xiong Zi Ying said, taking out the map for everyone to see.
"The two forbidden lands are located in the heart of the Demon Realm, where many people have gathered and established cities. We can’t take those routes," Jun Mu Yang pondered.
"Let’s take the third exit," Shenlian Yingyue decided.
----------------
The third exit was more dangerous than the other two. It took them quite some time to clear the obstacles.
Since Shenlian Yingyue was now at the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm, she was able to help everyone clear the obstacles more efficiently than before.
From inside the Abyssal Throne Ruins, an invisible barrier prevented outsiders from seeing in, but those within could observe the situation outside clearly.
"Strange, why are there no demons here?" Bing Xue looked around doubtfully. His beautiful, angelic face was filled with confusion and caution.
"Even if this is an abandoned city, there should still be patrols." Shenlian Yinzhu narrowed her eyes, full of vigilance.
Suddenly, they all looked at each other and spoke at the same time, "Hidden breaths!"
There were countless concealed auras. These demons were much stronger than the ones in the cities. If they hadn’t been powerful enough, they wouldn’t have noticed these hidden presences even with their divine senses.
"Everyone, put these on." Shenlian Yingyue took out long black cloaks with wide sleeves and handed them to everyone.
These were Celestial Cloaks (Heaven Cloaks), exquisite garments fashioned by Wang Pei Zhi. After spending centuries honing his skills in the Ethereal Realm, Wang Pei Zhi had risen from a low-grade Weapon Refiner to a masterful Heaven Weapon Refiner.
His talent was astonishing.
Despite being under thirty, Wang Pei Zhi appeared remarkably youthful. Few understood the countless hours he had dedicated to mastering his craft under the tutelage of Shenlian Sheshan.
Although time flowed differently in the Ethereal Realm, it did not diminish his innate abilities. While most individuals took millennia to achieve the rank of Heaven Weapon Refiner, Wang Pei Zhi accomplished this feat in under two thousand years.
What did this signify?
It indicated that if provided with the right resources and materials, he could forge any Heaven-grade weapon he envisioned.
The Celestial Cloaks masked their wearers’ energies far more effectively than their previous counterparts.
Wang Pei Zhi felt a profound sense of gratitude towards Shenlian Sheshan, and especially Shenlian Yingyue, who had brought him from a humble planet to this grand realm, gifting him with boundless treasures and invaluable lessons. His joy was unparalleled when he could finally apply his talents to support them.
Thus, each day, beyond his training, he dedicated himself to the refinement and exploration of new Heaven weapons.
As soon as they put on the cloaks, their auras were concealed. They didn’t want to rely on Xiao Yun’s power every time to hide their presence. The less Xiao Yun used his abilities, the safer it was for all of them.
Xiao Yun, Xiao Li, and Xiao Lan hid under her cloak. It wasn’t stuffy at all, the cloak was enormous.
"I don’t want to wear it. I can just change my appearance," Bu Si Shu refused. He muttered something, and soon, his divine appearance shifted. His ancient, ethereal aura disappeared.
Although he didn’t look as perfect as before, he was still incredibly good-looking. His flawless skin contrasted sharply against his black silk robes. Especially striking were his chest muscles and his perfect eight-pack abs, which peeked through his slightly open robe.
Everyone: "..."
Shenlian Yingyue: "..."
Shenlian Yingyue subconsciously pulled out a butterfly mask and put it on. She didn’t want to admit that she knew this entity. Silently, she clung to Shenlian Yinzhu’s sleeve.
Shenlian Yinzhu and the others exchanged glances, silently agreeing that if they made it out of here, they needed to distance themselves from Bu Si Shu as much as possible.
As soon as they stepped out of the Abyssal Throne Ruins, Shenlian Yingyue and the others instantly distanced themselves from Bu Si Shu.
"Why are you all standing so far away from me?" Bu Si Shu asked in confusion.
He got his answer soon enough.
"Wow, who is that handsome man? Is he a demon?"
"This man is more beautiful than any charming demon I’ve ever seen. If I can make him my husband, I’m willing to leave my Demon King and devote myself to him!"
The moment they saw Bu Si Shu, countless male and female demons widened their eyes, practically drooling over his flawless perfection.
Demons were never ashamed to admit their desires.
And so, Bu Si Shu who had underestimated the intensity of demon lust, soon experienced his first-ever nightmare.
The demons pounced on him without hesitation.
