"Oh?" Zhang Xiaolong, who was sitting relaxed on a big black tree in his incubus form, was surprised by the first notification. After all, the system had just been upgraded to level three a while ago, but it had already started the upgrade process again.

Even so, he was also excited about it, especially since he always got a new feature every time the system finished upgrading, and he was looking forward to the new feature. "Hey, Mei! It appears that the creator is really directing me to choose my demon side, especially since the system has always given me more quests while I was in the demon realm.

In the Sky Jade Realm, I never got any quests other than a daily quest, and in the Tian Realm, I only got one quest, but in this place, I got four quests. Sigh! The darkness of this realm is particularly ominous in comparison to the Diyu Realm. Anyway, what about the flow of time in this place?"

Mei herself doesn't have an answer about that because the system always runs automatically, and the creator created her specifically to monitor the system. [Master, the time flow in this realm is the same as in the Sky Jade Realm, so it is four times faster than on Earth.]

"Oh? I think that's good." Zhang Xiaolong muttered as he nodded in satisfaction.

[So what will you do now, Master? Are you going to do the quest right away? If you go to one of the cities in this realm, I'm sure those heavenly foxes won't dare to follow you. Moreover, they can't stay in this realm for too long, or the demon aura here will affect and transform them into demon beasts, and they will not be able to return to the Heavenly Moon Realm anymore.]

"Isn't that great? I have been curious for a long time about this realm, especially since the demons here are much stronger compared to Oz and the others.

That's why I was going to the nearest town to complete the first quest, but I had to wait for the system to finish scanning this realm first." Zhang Xiaolong suddenly remembered that he had not opened the three rewards from the three quests he got from the Amaris Twin's sub-realm. "Mei, open the three rewards."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

[Yes, Master.]

{You got Demon Coins x1000}

{You got Nine Demon Secret Scripture x1}

{You got Moon Demon Wheel x1}

"1000 demon coins from the normal gift pack, right?"

[Yes, Master. I will show you the other two.]

[Nine Demon Secret Scripture: This technique has nine sub-techniques, and each sub-technique was created by a different demon. Requirements: Duke Rank.]

[Moon Demon Wheel: This artifact was created by the Moon Demon, and it can be used for both offense and defense at the same time. Grade: Earth Grade.]

"Hmm?" Zhang Xiaolong raised his eyebrows after he saw the two notifications, but he ignored the nine demon secret scriptures, especially since the Duke Rank was still far from his reach. He then took out the moon demon wheel from the system inventory, and it was pitch black with several small blades on its side. "How do you think this weapon compares to the demon extermination sword, Mei?"

[Master, the demon extermination sword is a soul weapon, so it is superior if you compare it to this earth-grade demon wheel. Moreover, your sword is not yet perfect, and there are some parts missing, so it will be even stronger once you have perfected it.

Even so, this demon wheel is quite useful because it moves according to your will, so you can use it to protect your rear, especially when many enemies surround you. In addition, it has a darkness element, so you can use it to fight against winged races or cultivators with a light element.]

"Yeah, you're right." Zhang Xiaolong then tried to use the moon demon wheel, and it actually moved according to his wishes, which made him quite satisfied.

[Ding]

[Mapping of the area of the Netherworld Realm has been completed, so the host can check the entire area via the map.]

After the notification appeared, Zhang Xiaolong immediately stored the moon demon wheel, opened the map, and searched for the location of the dead forest. The forest was not far from his current location, especially it was also located right in the middle of the realm.

As for the ancient sub-realm, the system could not detect its location, so he chose to ignore it for the time being, and he intended to find information about it from the demons in the realm.

However, Zhang Xiaolong only saw a few large cities in the Netherworld Realm, and all of them were scattered far from each other. Lust City, which was in the northeast, was the closest one to his location.

Although Lust City was the closest city, Zhang Xiaolong estimated that it would take seven to ten days to get there, especially since the realm was several times larger than the Sky Jade Realm. Even so, he was confident that he could arrive there faster as long as he continued to use his Nine Cloud Steps, but he also had to continuously swallow Qi recovery pills to be able to do so. "Sigh!

This realm is so big and vast, but there are not many cities in this realm, and the distance between each large city is so far apart."

[Are you going to Lust City now, Master?]

Zhang Xiaolong didn't answer Mei straight away, especially since he saw several red dots on the map, which indicated that they were people who were hostile to him. Moreover, four of them were gathered in Lust City, and another red dot was in Black Moon City, which was located far to the south.

"Haha!" Zhang Xiaolong laughed loudly after he saw the names of the four people in Lust City, especially since they are Zhao Yun, Huan Ning, Yu Xixuan, and Lu Xin. "I didn't expect that they were still alive, even though they had spent their time for so long in this realm, but they should have become demons by now.

Unfortunately, of all the men I sent to this realm before, there were only two of them left alive, and Yin Tong seemed to be comfortable living in Black Moon City."

(A/N: If you forgot, you can reread chapter 143 to remember about Yu Xixuan and Lu Xin. As for Huan Ning and Zhao Yun, they are Zhao Ziqin's mother and big brother.)

Zhang Xiaolong smiled faintly when he saw Tian Jiyuan and Tian Gongzhu's names quite far away from his location, and he immediately stood up as he looked towards the northeast. "Since they were gathered there, I'll go there to finish the quest and check on those four people."

Zhang Xiaolong did not immediately use his movement technique, and he chose to fly around the outside of the dead forest to check it, especially since the second quest tasked him to explore it.

Mei suddenly informed Zhang Xiaolong of her discovery. [Master, I detected a bewildering formation in this forest, and I also detected a sign of life in the heart of this forest, so I think the formation was deliberately set up in this forest to prevent other demons from going there.]

After Mei said that, a new red dot suddenly appeared on the map, and it came from the heart of the dead forest. He then touched the red dot, but he immediately frowned because nothing appeared there. "Unknown? Why does this red dot only reveal the unknown?'

[Perhaps the living being in the heart of this forest has long been sealed, so the creator also doesn't have any information about the creature, Master.] Mei expressed her assumption.

Zhang Xiaolong nodded in agreement with Mei, but he could feel a faint, powerful aura coming from the heart of the dead forest, which he believed belonged to the mysterious living being. "Do you think the fourth quest has something to do with that mysterious creature, Mei?"

[That's possible, Master. However, it will be best if you don't go there for the time being, especially since the formation is too powerful, and there are so many demon beasts that are much stronger than you are there.]

"Forget it! I'll go to Lust City first, and I'll look for information about this forest and the mysterious creature from the demons living in that city." After he said that, Zhang Xiaolong immediately used the Nine Cloud Steps and rushed towards the northeast area, which was where the city was located.

Time quickly passed in the Netherworld Realm.

Tian Jiyuan and Tian Gongzhu, who were still trying to find Zhang Xiaolong, were annoyed because they still couldn't find him. Moreover, there were many flying demons trying to attack them, so they were forced to fight with them.

"Damn it! Why did that bastard have to escape into this disgusting realm?" Tian Gongzhu then killed the last demon before asking Tian Jiyuan. "What are we going to do now, senior brother? I am becoming more and more uncomfortable staying in this realm, especially since this demon aura is starting to affect me.

I'm worried that I will turn into a demon beast if we continue to stay here, so I think we should return to that realm first, and we can report this matter to Ancestor Baitian."

Tian Jiyuan nodded in agreement with that, especially since he himself began to feel the influence of the demon aura in the Netherworld Realm, so he immediately opened a portal leading to the Sky Jade Realm before bringing Tian Gongzhu to enter it.

As soon as they arrived in that realm, the two of them immediately headed to the western region, specifically the Heavenly Sword City, to meet Tian Wangzhi.

"How did it go? Did you see him in that clan?" Tian Jiyuan asked Tian Wangzhi as soon as they landed on his side.

"No." Tian Wangzhi answered with a shake of his head. "I've been waiting since earlier, but not a single member of that clan left their residence, and I didn't see him come here either."

Hearing that, Tian Gongzhu immediately expressed her idea. "Senior brother, we can't kill these humans, but we can at least interrogate them, right? That way, we can get additional information about that bastard, and we might be able to find him in other places."

After he thought about it, Tian Jiyuan agreed with Tian Gongzhu's idea, and he immediately moved towards the Chu Clan before destroying the barrier, which caused the clan's residents to panic.

Tian Jiyuan and the two heavenly foxes immediately entered the Chu Clan, but they couldn't find Liu Qingyu and Zhang Fei's family members there, especially since his other clone had already evacuated them to the training space when they chased Zhang Xiaolong to the Netherworld Realm, and he also cut off the connection from the teleportation device to the Liu Clan.

Your next journey awaits at empire

The three of them then interrogated everyone living in the Chu Clan, but none of them knew about the whereabouts of Liu Qingyu and the others. "Does Zhang Fei have any relations with other clans?"

"I don't know." The guard answered by shaking his head. "We are just guards and servants, so we don't know anything about our young master's relationship."

"Then, what about your master? Where is he now?" This time, it was Tian Wangzhi who asked the guard, as he used his aura to scare him.

Tian Wangzhi's actions caused the guard to break out in a cold sweat, and he responded with a trembling body. "Our... master has not been living in this clan for a long time, and he is currently in the northern region to help others stabilize the seal in the demon cave."

"The demon cave?" The guard nodded repeatedly to Tian Jiyuan. "Is the demon cave the origin of those demons from the other realm?"

"Yes..." The guard then told them about the invasion of the demons that came from another realm in the past, and his story was consistent with Hu Xiufu's, so they did not doubt him.

Tian Jiyuan suddenly realized something before speaking to his two juniors. "If I think about it, the aura of the female demon I killed before was the same as the previous demon realm, so the demons that invaded this realm in the past were demons from there."

"Does that mean that bastard has a relationship with those demons, senior brother?" Tian Gongzhu asked with a raised eyebrow.

However, Tian Jiyuan immediately denied Tian Gongzhu's guess with a shake of his head. "Judging by his bone age, that kid shouldn't be even twenty years old yet, so he can't possibly have any connection with those demons. However, I'm also confused as to how he managed to open the gate to that realm, especially since we can only open the gate to another realm after we go there."

Several questions suddenly appeared in Tian Wangzhi's mind. "Is it possible that that kid has been to that realm before? How could he go into that realm with his current cultivation? Could there be beasts of the same race as us in this realm, besides him?"

"That's impossible, brother!" Yun Gongzhu spoke while shaking her head. "Ancestor Baitian and Ancestor Baixin told us that they have brought all members of our race to our current realm, so there should be no members of our race left in this realm except for that bastard."
