#271 - A palm from the sky
Li Chengfeng had only seen the appearance of an ancient demon in the "Heaven-Shaking Myriad Demon Transformation" technique—nearly ten thousand feet tall, with a single horn on its head, demonic energy soaring to the sky, subtly containing the power of heaven and earth in its every move, capable of shattering stars with a single punch.
This kind of power filled Li Chengfeng with envy, wondering when he would be able to reach such a realm.
However, what shocked Li Chengfeng even more was that when he carefully observed this mountain range, he discovered that the layout and shape of these mountains actually resembled an ancient demon that had been bound.
He gasped, and after the geographical reduction and image clarification, the image of this ancient demon became even clearer.
It was as if someone had slapped it onto the ground, transforming it into the current Heavenly Demon Mountain Range.
Li Chengfeng was shocked, the power of this slap was so powerful that it could directly kill the ancient demon here.
This was definitely a celestial being's method, not something ordinary people could achieve.
His heart was filled with awe and curiosity for the unknown power, and at the same time, it strengthened his determination to cultivate.
Li Chengfeng suddenly woke up from his cultivation, quickly retrieving the Substitute Death Puppet back into the Life World space, and truly came to reality himself.
His divine sense quickly swept around, carefully deducing the information he had received from the Substitute Death Puppet earlier.
The picture gradually became clearer, and his heartbeat also accelerated, what kind of powerful and ancient magic was this?
Just like the Buddha's Palm on Blue Star, descending from the sky, slapping Sun Wukong to death on the ground, and suppressing him under the Five Fingers Mountain.
And here, it seemed that some force directly crushed the ancient demon with a giant palm, forming the current Heavenly Demon Mountain Range.
Li Chengfeng was excited, was this ancient demon really dead? How many years had passed here? It should be tens of thousands of years, or even longer.
His face became extremely solemn, and he firmly imprinted the clarity of this picture in his mind.
Afterwards, he laughed and said, "I think the scenery here is pleasant and the scenery is good, why not rest here for two days. My mana has been severely depleted on this journey."
Doctor Zhou Ming coughed beside him, reminding him: "Fellow Daoist, the scenery here is good, but it would be very troublesome if the demon race found out.
If you really want to rest here, waiting for two days is fine, but you have to add money."
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "I'll add thirty more low-grade spirit stones for you, and I'll stay for three days. I will leave after three days."
Zhou Ming was immediately happy when he heard this: "That's no problem. I will stay here for these three days. Although this is not a place where the demon race is rampant, we can't take it lightly.
You can recover well in the cave, I will open up a cave next to it, and also cultivate in seclusion.
Call me when you are about to leave, remember, ten low-grade spirit stones a day, thirty spirit stones for three days. If you stay one more day, you will have to give me another ten low-grade spirit stones."
Zhou Ming was naturally very happy. He calculated in his mind that as long as Li Chengfeng could afford the spirit stones, let alone waiting for three days, even ten or eight years would be fine.
So, he began to dig a cave not far away, and set up a hidden small magic circle.
For cultivators, these are the three essential things to do when going out: digging caves, setting up magic circles, and cultivating in seclusion.
But Li Chengfeng was different. As the main body personally descended, he felt that this seemed to be the core of the entire Heavenly Demon Mountain Range.
This core was not the geographical center, but the place where the power brought by that palm exploded the strongest.
He sat cross-legged, integrating all his divine sense and beliefs into the heaven and earth, carefully comprehending and slowly deducing. He explored bit by bit according to the clues and graphics of that finger.
Sure enough, after a while, a picture began to appear in his mind.
Although it was only fleeting, it gave him a great shock.
It was a big hand coming from outside the sky, huge and boundless, covering the sky and the sun, as if it could block several star fields.
Li Chengfeng's face became very wonderful, this hand was too big, the great power on it made him feel unable to resist, even the existence of the Transformation God stage would probably explode on the spot and turn into nothingness.
He carefully observed and found that there were some kind of runes or precedents rolling in on that big hand, and a palm covering the sky and covering the earth fell down, like a cage of heaven and earth.
The demon stood between the star fields, reaching the sky and the ground, and let out a roar, and a pair of wings behind him suddenly unfolded.
The spear in his hand kept waving, meeting the big hand with an unyielding will.
However, his strength was still not enough, and he was directly knocked down.
As the picture progressed, the demon's body became smaller and smaller, and the big hand also became smaller and smaller, not knowing how many space barriers and star fields it passed through, and finally slapped it on the human world, turning it into this Heavenly Demon Mountain Range.
Li Chengfeng's face became extremely ugly, and at the same time he was shocked by the picture in front of him.
He gasped, because at the end of the picture, he always felt that the demon was not dead, but might still be alive.
But there was no demon energy in this Heavenly Demon Mountain Range, because the demon's soul exploded in the air when it crossed the endless starry sky, and it should have been scattered to various corners, and its body was slapped into the human world.
He stood in front of this Heavenly Demon Mountain Range, his heart filled with excitement and anticipation.
This was an extremely precious place for him, because it contained a secret he had dreamed of—the ancient demon's essence blood.
According to legend, as long as he extracted this essence blood, he could transform into an ancient demon, master the power of the Heaven-Shaking Myriad Demon Transformation, and become an invincible powerhouse.
However, he knew that his current strength was far from enough.
Even if the essence blood was right in front of him, he could only resist the temptation and choose to wait.
Unless he advanced to the Half-Step Transformation God or Transformation God stage, he would have enough strength to deal with possible unknown risks.
He was not sure whether there was still some unknown power hidden in the ancient demon's body, or whether the laws of the immortal power's big hand still remained.
Although tens of thousands of years had passed, once these forces broke out, it would definitely not be something that the cultivators of the human world could resist.
Three days passed in a flash, he restrained his mind, remembered all this in his heart, and at the same time his heart was full of joy.
He knew that this Heavenly Demon Mountain Range was a place full of opportunities and challenges. Although it seemed dangerous, it was these dangers that nurtured countless opportunities.
He packed his bags and prepared to set off.
Arriving in front of Zhou Ming's cave, Zhou Ming was actually just the most common blindfold, like a transparency under his divine sense.
He saw Zhou Ming sitting cross-legged inside meditating and cultivating, holding a spirit stone in his hand, directly absorbing the spiritual energy inside.
He couldn't help but sigh, Zhou Ming's cultivation method was indeed a bit crude, he didn't even have pills, he could only directly absorb the spiritual power in the spirit stone, which was undoubtedly a great waste.
However, he didn't say much. He coughed lightly and called Zhou Ming softly, saying, "Fellow Daoist, three days have passed, we should set off."
Zhou Ming heard Li Chengfeng's call, although he was a little reluctant, he quickly got up.
He smiled kindly on the surface and said: "Haha, Fellow Daoist, you are really punctual these three days, why don't you stay a few more days?
There are many treasures waiting for us to discover in this place."
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and replied: "I do like to travel around and observe the scenery of mountains and rivers, and learn about Taoism from nature.
I came here this time for this purpose."
Zhou Ming shook his head disapprovingly and said: "If you can really feel the laws of heaven and earth from the mountains and rivers, wouldn't there be cultivators everywhere?
However, I still have to say that you are definitely a person with great luck."
He continued: "Five thousand miles ahead is the location of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
But don't worry, Fellow Daoist, it's very safe there. Moreover, there is a Tianlu Fang Market near the Heavenly Demon Sect, and a grand auction is about to be held.
It is said that there are important treasures appearing at this auction, Fellow Daoist, why not come with me to broaden your horizons, even if you don't participate in the auction, you can still be inspired."
After hearing this, Li Chengfeng's heart moved, and he became interested in Zhou Ming's words. He nodded and agreed: "Okay, then let's go and see. Maybe we can really find something good."
