Chapter 232 Eagle Demon's Lair
Inside the underground palace, countless ancient scriptures are displayed.
There were so many scriptures that they could practically be piled up into a mountain, covering countless categories. Yun Chen and Qin Xi spent some time scanning them, and found that 90% of the types were ones they had never heard of before.
All the relevant scriptures are not recorded in current online information, so Yun Chen and Qin Xi cannot move them all. They can only set up a magic array here to temporarily seal this underground palace, and then lead the immortal cultivators to retrieve it after a period of time.
After tidying up the place, Yun Chen and Qin Xi left.
They went directly to the coal-producing country across the ocean. The two continents, to the north and south, are basically the territory of this country, which also has a population of over one billion, more than China.
With their current level of cultivation, although they have mastered the two supreme combat techniques, Willow and Long Tassel, it will be very difficult for them to deal with the other seven Golden Core Realm demons at the same time.
However, they now have no choice but to take the initiative, because a world war has already broken out in the mortal world. If they cannot destroy these great demons, then the demon race's various actions will become even more frantic. For China after the war and for the immortal race, there will be no peace, and countless people will be killed.
Only by taking the initiative can we eliminate these powerful demons.
If given the chance, they would rather cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage before making their move, but now, time waits for no one.
During the war, all flights were suspended, so they could only travel east and north, trekking across the vast, uninhabited Arctic plateau of Asia, across boundless snow-capped mountains, and through a frozen strait a dozen kilometers wide into North America.
This is something that ordinary people could never do.
They only took less than a month.
In August, they entered the territory of the coal-producing country.
Qin Xi said, "The territory of Fusang consists of two regions, north and south."
"We are currently in the Northern Region."
This land is very primitive, with high mountains and plains, and diverse terrain.
After searching for more than a month, they finally found out where the great demon, the white-headed eagle, was located.
On a desolate plateau in the middle of this continent.
Besides the bald eagle, there was a second powerful demon at the Golden Core stage, a red sparrow that had recently returned from outer space and was the demon king of its kind.
The White-headed Eagle King and the Crimson Sparrow King are two powerful demons at the peak of the Golden Core stage. They can be said to be the rulers of the world today. Apart from the mysterious forbidden area in China, which they dare not enter, they are known as invincible.
The Red Sparrow King showed the White-Headed Eagle King many ancient magical artifacts, including some palace-sized spaceships and many palm-sized model warships, which were endlessly varied. These were all tools mastered by the Red Sparrow Clan, but they actually originated from the Immortal Clan.
"With your current level of intelligence, you certainly cannot unravel the mysteries of these things. Even our Crimson Sparrow clan has only mastered the activation method, not the core refining technique!"
The Crimson Sparrow King has lived for over five hundred years, spending most of his life on alien planets leading his clan in hunting down the descendants of the Immortal Clan and the contracted spirit beasts around them.
The Bald Eagle King took the magical artifacts and examined them carefully. Each artifact was only the size of a palm, yet incredibly exquisite. Some were round, others were square, and every detail was lifelike, truly resembling a palace or a warship. Furthermore, each artifact was engraved with mysterious formations.
These ritual implements are very ancient, at least six or seven hundred years old, reflecting the level of technology of that era, which was many times more advanced than it is today.
"And this too!"
"A treasure from over nine hundred years ago."
The Crimson Sparrow King opened his palm, and a spiritual light appeared, revealing a square magic seal, like a golden jade seal.
The bald eagle king looked at it in surprise: "What is this?"
The Crimson Sparrow King declared, "This is the Heaven-Turning Seal!"
Since the Crimson Sparrow Clan returned from beyond Blue Star, they have been studying these magical artifacts for the past two months. The White-Headed Eagle King has many ancient scriptures, and they want to use them to decipher the secrets of these magical artifacts and master the core technology of their crafting.
"Deciphering these scriptures is a long and arduous task. Only by luring a large number of immortals from China to study these scriptures can we hope to succeed."
The Bald Eagle King said.
After fiddling with these magical artifacts and scriptures, they began to cultivate their human form and unleash their supernatural powers. Various cracking sounds emanated from their bodies, as if their bones were being squeezed and their flesh was shrinking. They wanted to transform into human form, but it was extremely difficult for them to do so. They ended up looking neither fish nor fowl, with the shape of a human body, but still retaining many of their original characteristics.
The bald eagle transformed into a human form, with a head covered in white feathers, large, dark eyes that resembled two black gems, and a hard, narrow beak. Its wings transformed into two feathered arms, without hands or claws, not to mention feet, which consisted of two jet-black claws as sharp as iron hooks.
The Red Sparrow was the same; it transformed into a red-feathered, humanoid bird-headed monster with large, round red eyes and sharp teeth and beak.
Their appearance is quite bizarre, somewhat like the various aliens reported in the news by ordinary people.
This is transformation. Once they can truly transform into human form and look no different from humans, it means they have entered the Nascent Soul stage of human cultivators.
Their cave dwelling was located in a mountain range, surrounded by hundreds of rolling hills with various secret passages connecting them, which had long since become their backyard.
The trees are tall and the forest is vast.
This is a forbidden area for humans.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the sky changed dramatically, dark clouds covered the area, and then a torrential downpour began, with a thick fog enveloping the entire mountain range.
Yun Chen and Qin Xi arrived here together.
These mountains are filled with a terrifying, eerie aura.
The two suppressed several minor demons along the way, and after interrogation, they finally found the territory of the great white-headed eagle demon.
At this moment, the White-headed Eagle King and the Red Sparrow King were cultivating their transformation in the cave. They sensed that the aura of heaven and earth outside was not right, so they stopped cultivating, transformed into their original forms, and exchanged a glance.
The Bald Eagle King said coldly, "Someone has broken into our territory. They are no ordinary people; they are human cultivators."
It immediately dispatched more than a dozen lesser demons to check the situation.
A dozen or so bald eagles appeared in front of Yun Chen and Qin Xi, surrounding the two of them.
Qin Xi decisively drew her sword, and with a whoosh, she cut down all of the dozen or so lesser demons, leaving only one alive.
"Which direction is the bald eagle's den?"
Yun Chen interrogated the little demon.
The little demon could understand his meaning, but it couldn't speak human language. In fear, it raised its wings and pointed in a direction.
A burst of sword energy emanated from Yun Chen's fingertips, killing him instantly.
The two then quickly headed in that direction.
They became extremely vigilant, realizing that there was a grand array of heaven and earth here, inscribed between various mountain ranges, which, once activated, would unleash the power of heaven and earth.
The bald eagle has chosen a good spot.
They came to a majestic mountain, which must have been three or four thousand meters high. The mountainside was covered in snow, and the summit soared into the clouds, a vast expanse of white. However, the two of them could clearly see the peak.
Inside the mountains lies a hidden paradise.
Instead of entering immediately, they keenly sensed a demonic aura approaching from the depths of the mountains.
The great demon has arrived!
At the same time, the Bald Eagle King noticed it.
"The visitor is not friendly."
"All the little demons I sent out are dead."
"Those human cultivators must have come looking for us again."
The White-headed Eagle King spoke with great solemnity, for the person who had come this time was not a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but rather a Golden Core cultivator.
Upon hearing this, the Crimson Sparrow King's eyes turned serious.
Those were more than a dozen minor demons equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Then, the Bald Eagle King became enraged, spread its wings, and took flight like a fighter jet, roaring as it flew out of the cave and out of an exit on the snow-capped mountain.
The Red Sparrow King hurriedly followed him out.
