2554 The Old Turtle’s Thoughts

Han Fei didn’t listen to the Emperor Sparrow. In fact, he couldn’t temper himself much by fighting the Lizard Demons. This was because his main method of fighting the Lizard Demons was to rely on the Void Stealing Technique.

If he didn’t have the Void Stealing Technique, it wasn’t impossible for him to hunt a Lizard Demon, but the odds would be much smaller and it would be much more troublesome.

Considering that there was no need to fight head-on in such a battle, Han Fei simply turned into his black-mist body. Anyway, he shouldn’t be far from the Mine Demon Stream. The speed of his black-mist body might be slow, but it was safe!

Sure enough, as Han Fei expected, in a certain col, Han Fei found two more Lizard Demons. Because there were only two of them, Han Fei took the opportunity to trap and kill one with the Mirror of Infinity. It was much easier to deal with the other.

Han Fei had planned to hunt two more Lizard Demons. But when he saw a large number of ordinary mine demons running around, fighting, or disguising themselves, he knew that he had arrived at the Mine Demon Stream.

This was because these creatures were in line with what the old turtle said. The mine demons born in the Mine Demon Stream were not strong. They were mainly used for training and trials. And these stone men, mineral crabs, big sword carp, strange stone starfish, and so on were too many. With a sweep of his perception, he found more than 100,000 of them.

And this was just the number Han Fei casually scanned. This meant that there were more than a million mine demons here. From the outside to the inside, the level of the mine demons was constantly increasing.

At first, among the mine demons that Han Fei sensed, there were even some Explorer-level mine demons who had no intelligence at all. They just instinctively absorbed the essence of the minerals here and moved bit by bit in the direction of the Mine Demon Stream.

“Huh! This is a great place for training soldiers. Mine demons are like body refiners. They are even harder to deal with than cultivators of the same level.”

Without immediately carrying out the training plan, Han Fei continued to move forward until the mine demons became stronger and stronger, reaching the Sea Establishment realm or even the peak-level Sea Establishment realm.

But then Han Fei saw a huge crack between east and west, where there were turbulent sea currents and corrosive water similar to the Desolation Water.

“Huh! Is this the Mine Demon Stream? There are no mine demons in the Sky Opening Realm?”

With a thought, Han Fei released the old turtle. The Emperor Sparrow hadn’t digested all the Demonic Seeds yet, and even if he had, he might need some consolidation, so he didn’t come out.

When the old turtle appeared and saw the Mine Demon Stream, he immediately exclaimed, “Huh? Has the Mine Demon Stream become so small now? The width of the former Mine Demon Stream was at least three times larger than this one.”

Han Fei said, “How can your era be the same as now? You just need to be sure that this is the Mine Demon Stream.”

The old turtle said, “I’m sure this is the Mine Demon Stream. Look at the power rolling in the deep stream, it’s the aura of minerals, hiding the law of the Heavenly Dao. What the mine demons like most is this power. However, not all mine demons of any level can absorb this power. It’s usually difficult for mine demons below level-three to absorb it. Even level-three mine demons sometimes can’t withstand this power and explode to death.”

Han Fei was surprised. “Level-three mine demons? Many level-two mine demons are already in the Sky Opening realm. Can’t Sky Openers enter it?”

The old turtle said, “This doesn’t have much to do with the realm. The strength of mine demons lies in the refinement of their minerals. Generally speaking, when a level-three mine appears, it will be in the Sky Opening realm. Those level-two mine demons can only slowly absorb the power of the minerals to strengthen their own minerals’ quality. Before reaching level-three, they will most likely explode if they enter the Mine Demon Stream.”

Han Fei nodded slightly, but then he said, “What about the Lizard Demons? Did the Lizard Demons come from the Mine Demon Stream? They’re in the perfected Star Transformation Realm and their combat power is comparable to that of Dao Provers. They couldn’t have been born from the mine demons outside the Mine Demon Stream, right?”

After a moment of silence, the old turtle said, “If I’ve guessed right, they came out of the Mine Demon Stream.”

Han Fei’s eyelids twitched. “Didn’t you say that the Mine Demon Stream is a place for training? How can there be perfected Star Transformation Realm creatures?”

The old turtle thought for a moment and said, “This has to be explained from a long time ago. The Mine Demon Stream doesn’t exist naturally. This place was artificially dug out. In our era, the Infinite Mining Area was guarded by Monarchs, and it’s said that there were even gods in the early days. And this Mine Demon Stream belongs to the puppet training ground of the Puppet City under the rule of Great Monarch Mystic Martial.”

“Great Monarch Mystic Martial? Puppet City?”

The old turtle said, “No Monarchs have entered this place now, so the Great Monarch Mystic Martial is definitely not here. But Puppet City should be here. It’s a special city, where after a person dies, their soul remains intact. They can use the body of a mine demon to transform themselves into a mine demon. After transforming into a mine demon, it’s hard to say if they are still normal creatures or not. Anyway, gradually, these people who transform into mine demons become more and more like puppets. They only know how to fight and guard…”

“Wait…”

Han Fei hurriedly interrupted the old turtle. “So, under this Mine Demon Stream is a city?”

The old turtle said, “I don’t know if it’s under the Mine Demon Stream, but the Mine Demon Stream used to be outside Puppet City.”

Han Fei couldn’t help but narrow his eyes and look at the old turtle. “Why didn’t you say before that there was also this puppet city?”

The old turtle said, “Didn’t I? Then I must have forgotten…”

Seeing that Han Fei was looking at him with shining eyes, the old turtle said awkwardly, “Actually, I want to rebuild my body. Ordinary bodies or spiritual treasure of heaven and earth might not be very useful. Even if I can use them, they’ll probably be like my previous body. At most, I can establish a connection with my original body in the Godfiend Sea once or twice. It’s meaningless. Therefore, I want to find out. Perhaps there is the inheritance of the Great Monarch Mystic Martial here.”

The corner of Han Fei’s mouth twitched. “So you came to the northern mining area for the things of Great Monarch Mystic Martial? Why? Were you hiding your true intention earlier because you were afraid that I wouldn’t come?”

The old turtle said, “I really didn’t mean to hide it. This is indeed the best place to train soldiers and, by the way, build my body.”

Han Fei chuckled. “I don’t believe you. Tell me, what’s the threat here? Otherwise, why did you tell me your true intentions until we arrived?”

The old turtle said without blushing, “It’s not a big deal. It’s just that there might be Monarch-level mine demons in Puppet City.”

“Hiss…”

“Not a big deal? How do you have the cheek to say that?!”

Han Fei was dumbfounded. A Monarch-level mine demon? He knew that the old turtle must have some ulterior motive. If there were really Monarchs in Puppet City, how strong would they be? Would he still be able to train his soldiers here?

The old turtle hurriedly added, “Don’t worry. The puppet army of Puppet City won’t come out. Besides, this place has clearly been abandoned for a long time. The Puppet City hasn’t been replenished for such a long time. It might not be as strong as before.”

Han Fei asked, “There were Monarchs in Puppet City? How strong were they?”

The old turtle said leisurely, “In the past, except for Great Monarch Mystic Martial, there were also immortal-level Monarchs. However, they were just guarding this place. Under normal circumstances, most Monarchs would follow the Great Monarch Mystic Martial. Therefore, it’s hard to say if there are any Monarch-level puppets here now. If this place is abandoned, I think there’s a chance that there aren’t any Monarch-level puppets.”

Han Fei: “…”

Han Fei said, “Alright, so you just don’t know anything. Let me ask you, are you sure the puppets in Puppet City won’t go out of the city?”

The old turtle said, “I’m sure. I’m from the same race as the Great Monarch Mystic Martial. I used to fight side by side with the Great Monarch Mystic Martial. When I was young, we were even good brothers, so I know Puppet City very well.”

“Good brother? Keep bragging. A great monarch is your good brother? Old Yuan! When did you get the bad habit of bragging?”

The old turtle said, “I’m not lying to you. It’s just that Mystic Martial got better after that.”

Seeing the disbelief on Han Fei’s face, the old turtle grew anxious. “Don’t doubt me. I know the secrets of Mystic Martial. She likes to lay eggs the most. She once said that if she didn’t become a god, she would make one of her children become a god. So she laid many eggs, which is why I came here to rebuild my body.”

“Hiss! Are you going to use her egg to rebuild your body? Or are you going to seal yourself and enter her egg… F*ck, won’t you become the son of Great Monarch Mystic Martial? If Great Monarch Mystic Martial is still alive, do you think she will be willing to see this scene?”

The old turtle: “…”

After a long silence, the old turtle said, “I just borrow the flesh and blood to reconstruct a unique body for myself.”

Han Fei said indifferently, “Alright, if you say so. Even if I admit that you are on good terms with Great Monarch Mystic Martial, where do you think the Lizard Demons came from? And where is the mine devil you mentioned?”

The old turtle looked at the Mine Demon Stream and said leisurely, “The Lizard Demons definitely didn’t come from Puppet City, so it can only be the Mine Demon Stream. Perhaps something happened at the bottom of the Mine Demon Stream. We still have to go down and take a look.”

Han Fei nodded. It was inevitable to go down the Mine Demon Stream. Even if there were a large group of Lizard Demons under the Mine Demon Stream, they would still have to go down.

The Mine Demon Stream was indeed suitable for training soldiers. Besides, there was enough spiritual energy and minerals here. If there were no Monarch-level puppets in the Puppet City, it might be able to become his cultivation ground and help him reach the perfected Star Transformation Realm as soon as possible.

Han Fei said, “Come down with me.”

The old turtle hesitated. “That’s not good! I don’t even have a body.”

Han Fei sneered. “You don’t even have a body. The mine demons are equivalent to body refiners. What are you afraid of?”

Han Fei couldn’t cultivate here without solving the threat of the Lizard Demons. Therefore, he had to confirm what mine demons were under the Mine Demon Stream and kill them first. Only by eliminating the hidden dangers could the Mine Demon Stream become his territory.
