1562 Target: Subduing Demon City!

Meryl took out a piece of white paper and drew a circle in the middle, with two tips on opposite sides of the circle. “Look here. This is the structure of the World Tree. The circle in the center is the Celestial Path, linked to countless universes, countless beings living within each universe.

“The sharp cone at the top is the Upper Realm, and the sharp cone at the bottom is the Lower Realm you see before you. To be more specific, the Middle Realm is the largest, like a beehive, home to countless universes. Meanwhile, the Upper Realm and Lower Realm are like pyramids, ordered into levels.

“If you want to find Xia Fei and the others, you will have to go down a level, perhaps even more than that. The lower the level, the greater the difficulty!”

The diagram was very easy to understand. The Lower Realm was like an underground parking structure. To get to the second basement floor, one needed to take the elevator, but the elevator was guarded by experts who wouldn’t let just anyone ride the elevator!

“How do you know that Xia Fei and the Grand Ancestor are down below?” Xia Yu asked in confusion.

Meryl glanced at Xia Yu and said, “I’ve met them before and know how powerful they are. If Xia Fei and the others came here, given the strength of the Lower Realm’s first level, they would definitely be able to turn it upside-down.

“But I’ve never heard anything about the Skywings being here, which means they must have been taken to the lower continent, where many experts are gathered. After all, only a sufficient number of experts could suppress the power of the Skywings.”

Xia Geng clenched his fists. “I see! Then we’ll fight down to the next level and find Xia Fei and the Grand Ancestor!”

“Mm, that’s what we should do!” “What are we waiting for? Let’s go right now!”

The brothers grew as excited as if they were on fire, talking about how they were going to fight to the next level. But what Meryl said next pulled them back to reality.

“You couldn’t even break the Realm Barrier, so how do you expect to get to the next level?”

Xia Geng and the others fell silent. Now that they thought about it, it was rather strange. Speed had always been invincible, and the Skywings were extremely confident in their speed. But no matter how fast they were, they couldn’t break through the Realm Barrier. It was quite shameful when they thought about it. It seemed like the Speed Law was no good against that Barrier!

“Then could we sneak in? We’re also good at disguising ourselves. After all, we’re the scouting team, and we often have to infiltrate enemy ranks.”

Meryl shook her head. “In the Lower Realm, any person with a combat ability has a symbol on their arm. While you have speed, you don’t have a speed symbol, which means you would be immediately identified as not being natives of the Lower Realm. However, people without combat abilities won’t have any symbols on their arm, and in this aspect, only one of you could do that.”

Meryl turned to Xia Fan. Just like all the Skywing warriors, he had formidable speed, but at the same time, he also had the rare Scent ability!

…

When most people were unhappy, they would use alcohol to dilute their sorrows, but Traveling Buddha brewed tea.

As the dawn light illuminated the Lower Realm, the horizon a creamy white, a cool breeze blew across the castle. Traveling Buddha sat on a balcony where he had set up his tea set, having a sip of the tea he had just brewed while it was still hot.

“It’s been almost three years since we got to know each other, but this is the first time we’re splitting up,” Traveling Buddha said dejectedly.

Perhaps it was fate, but ever since the two had gotten to know each other, they had never been separated. They had adventured, lived, and fought together, but now, Xia Fan had to go to Subduing Demon City, which meant that these partners wouldn’t be seeing each other for a long time.

Pa!

Xia Fan gave Traveling Buddha a light slap on the back of the head and chuckled. “When did you become such an old lady? Who was it that said that a true man aspired to travel far and wide? And didn’t Meryl tell all of you? The people of Subduing Demon City aren’t bad people. They’re just rather mysterious and rather strict with their rules.”

Traveling Buddha scratched the back of his head and shrugged helplessly.

At that moment, Xia Yu’s voice came from behind him. “Relax. Once you’re gone, Traveling Buddha definitely won’t have the time to worry about you.”

“Why?”

“Because we’ve just decided to put Traveling Buddha through special training. He has the powerful Battle Buddha Golden Light, a top-class special ability. It has enormous potential, capable of turning one invincible. It’s not like we have anything else to do, so we might as well boost his combat power!”

Traveling Buddha scowled, his body shaking. “You don’t need to go as far as special training, right? Won’t some casual training do?”

Xia Yu replied, “We’re all brothers, so there’s no need to be polite. No matter how much potential we have, we’ve developed it long ago. As for Bright Pearl, she’s a dragon, belonging to the divine type, so she gets stronger as she gets older and doesn’t need special training. The only ones left with potential to develop are you and Xia Fan. Xia Fan is going to Subduing Demon City, so who else are we going to train? We’ll be too bored otherwise.”

Xia Fan wanted to laugh. He felt like he could already see the tragic sight of Traveling Buddha being surrounded by people as they pointed out his flaws. Among these guys, it was only the Water Elemental brothers who were rather kind. The others weren’t just veterans of the battlefield, they also had extremely rigorous standards. Traveling Buddha would probably find it impossible to enjoy his lazy and carefree life!

At daybreak, Xia Fan inspected his spatial ring seriously, leaving everything that might expose him or was out of place for Xia Geng to keep safe. Subduing Demon City was an extremely strict place, and even spatial rings were inspected!

Pearl had been planning to use her transformation powers to hide in Xia Fan’s spatial ring and accompany him to the city, but Meryl had swiftly rejected the idea.

“The Demon Subduers are the guardians of the Lower Realm. There’s no trick that can escape their sharp eyes. If you’re discovered, it will only harm you and harm Xia Fan,” Meryl said earnestly.

Thus, in the end, it was only Xia Fan and Armstrong who were going. They sat on a single Cathead Eagle and flew in the direction of the sun.

As the White City drew farther and farther away, the figures of his family and friends gradually vanishing from sight, Xia Fan suddenly felt an immense pressure. The mission of finding his father and the clan’s main force had ultimately fallen to him alone!

As a Mythical Beast that had a wingspan of fifteen meters, the Cathead Eagle had a very broad and sturdy back. Armstrong was sitting next to Xia Fan and said, “In the three days it will take to get there, we can use this time to have you memorize the history of the White City. The people of Subduing Demon City will probably ask you about it.”

Xia Fan nodded. The Lower Realm truly was an incredible place. Even a Cathead Eagle needed three whole days to fly from the White City to Subduing Demon City. This continent was vast beyond description, and snowy mountains, grassy plains, wastelands, and other kinds of terrain appeared over and over, as if there was no end to them.

Armstrong passed Xia Fan a thick stack of organized files. After two hours, he began asking questions.

“Who is the founder of the White City?”

“The founder was Francis, but after countless usurpers, the seat was taken by Merlin. Currently, Merlin’s daughter, Meryl, reigns as queen.”

“How many streets does the White City have?”

“1321.”

“How many registered warriors?”

“309.”

“How was Brutus’s left eye blinded?

“Brutus isn’t blind in the left eye, but his right.”

Armstrong raised his head and shot Xia Fan an admiring glance. He said in surprise, “You learn very quickly. You managed to memorize it all?”

Xia Fan shrugged and casually said, “When I was younger, I had several hundred teachers who taught me in shifts. If I didn’t learn properly, they would spank me!”
