The Path of the Sage

Chapter 254: The Three Holy Sons (Part 3)

Views:

"What are the two demon kings doing..." Fang Yun's mind was full of Moon Guards, Moon Emperor, Moon Goddess' relics, Moon Phase Divine Stones and so on. He didn't care at all what the two demon kings were thinking.

The Ape Demon King laughed awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty the Moon Emperor, your status is higher than that of the Great Demon King. It is almost equivalent to the Wen Zong of your human race, or the Demon King of the demon world. Do you know that?"

"Status is virtual, strength is real. I am still a role model of Jingguo's literati, but I am just a juren." Fang Yun said.

"Your Majesty the Moon Emperor holds a high position but is not complacent. He is truly a role model for the three tribes of demons and barbarians. I admire you!" said the Ape Demon King.

The Bear Demon King was not as good at speaking as the Ape Demon King. He kept nodding and smiling foolishly.

Fang Yun understood immediately and said, "Just tell me what you two want to talk to me about. You two have helped me a lot. I will definitely help you as long as I can."

The Ape Demon King was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Look, the Moon Goddess's relic has disappeared. Can you help write a note saying that this matter has nothing to do with us two demons? If you don't write it, I'm afraid we will be executed."

"It can't be that serious, right? You two are demon kings after all."

The Ape Demon King asked, "If a scholar from your race loses an important relic of Confucius, how will you deal with it?"

"Send him to the frontier and never allow him to return." Fang Yun said.

"You must know that our demon race is more cruel than humans. So please help us. If there is a chance, we will definitely reward you handsomely!" said the Ape Demon King.

"After all, I'm the one who got the benefit. Since it's just a piece of cake, I'll explain it." Fang Yun said, putting down the tray and starting to write, pointing out that the two demon kings were not only right but also helped him.

After writing, Fang Yun handed the paper to the Ape Demon King.

"Thank you, His Majesty the Moon Emperor!" The Ape Demon King was ecstatic.

"You're welcome. Just give me some convenience while I'm in the First Star City. By the way, do you have any books on the demon race?"

"Yes! We, the Ape Clan, are responsible for recording and compiling the history and classics of the Demon Clan. Do you want to read them? I'll let my nephew take you there right away. It's not that I don't want to go with you in person, I still have to go to the Third Star City to report the details of today."

"It doesn't matter. Let's talk while we walk. I want to ask when the Comet Corridor will open?" Fang Yun said.

"The Comet Corridor will probably open within two days. The exact time cannot be determined because it was originally controlled by the Demon Ancestor himself. Now we can only wait for the best time."

"How many demon barbarians will participate this time?"

"There are only about thirty of you humans, but there are probably more than a thousand monsters and barbarians. After you leave the Comet Corridor, new monsters and barbarians will enter the Second Star City. I can't be sure how many there will be by then."

"Oh? Both cities can be entered?"

"After the Comet Corridor flies over the Second City, its power will increase greatly. It will not be a test for the Monster General, but a test for the Monster Commander. However, the Monster Barbarians who enter at that time will have some benefits, but they will not become the King of the Star."

"What secret does the Comet Gallery have?"

The Ape Demon King smiled and said, "My Ape Clan is in charge of the demon clan's classics, so we know it best. According to the ancient demons' speculation, the core of the Comet Corridor is a special star fragment. The demon ancestors couldn't use it, so they simply transformed it into a Comet Corridor, hoping that the demons would have a chance to gain the power inside. But we don't know which star fragment it is."

"So that's how it is! No wonder you can be called the King of Stars if you reach the end of the Comet Corridor. It turns out that you can obtain some of the power of star fragments." Fang Yun said.

The Ape Demon King nodded and looked around. He whispered, "After you enter the Comet Corridor, you must stay with other humans. If you find that there are blood demons who may go to the deepest part and sit on the Star Throne, immediately crush the ice and run away!"

"What is ice stone?" Fang Yun asked.

"Everyone who enters the Comet Corridor will receive an ice stone. Once in danger, you can leave. This was originally a method used by the Demon Ancestor to protect participants. However, since the disappearance of the Demon Ancestor, the power of the ice stone has weakened. It needs to be released slowly. If it is interrupted before the power of the ice stone is fully released, the ice stone will lose its effect."

"I see. I'll remember that."

The Ape Demon King whispered, "The Comet Corridor is divided into seven sections. I suggest you stop at the fifth corridor and don't go any further. Because fighting is not allowed in the first five corridors, any attack on others will be eliminated by the power of the corridor. But starting from the sixth corridor, you can fight for the Star King."

Fang Yun smiled and said, "If you don't even dare to step into the Sixth Corridor, how can you become the Star King?"

The Ape Demon King hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Since you saved me, I will no longer hide it. This time in the Comet Corridor, the human race has no chance, because eight of the ten great saints among the demon generals have already arrived. Among them, three of them have talents that are not inferior to the Demon King, and they all have the potential to become great saints!"

"So strong?" Fang Yun asked.

"After decades of accumulation, your human race has produced many talented people, showing a great momentum of revival. In a few decades, there may even be a hundred schools of thought. The demon world is even better! Not to mention that the Demon King single-handedly suppressed the four great talents of the previous generation, the saints under the Demon King are all talented. The Demon King has restrained his ferocity in the past two years because he knows that those younger generations may surpass him."

Fang Yun couldn't help but recall that a golden guard of the Demon King in front of the giant bronze gate said that only the ten holy sons were allowed to enter. It seemed that the Demon King did not dare to offend too many demons.

"I see. Then who is the most outstanding Saint Son who entered the Comet Gallery this time?"

"The Wolf Barbarian Saint and the Third Prince are both geniuses, but there are three Demon General Saints who are even better than the Wolf Barbarian Saint. It can even be said that they are superior to the Wolf Barbarian Saint!"

"Who are they?" Fang Yun asked hurriedly.

"One is the son of the Jiao Saint, who gave him the name Douji. When this Jiaolong was born, the Big Dipper and the North Star, the brightest star in the demon world, vibrated at the same time, and the stars were naturally moving, so he was named Douji."

Fang Yun looked serious and nodded, "The Big Dipper was shaking at the same time, the eight stars were ringing, and the lightning flashed for two minutes. I heard that he is even more famous in the demon race than Yan Yukong is in the human race. I didn't expect that he would come."

Whether a monster is powerful or not is determined by the movement of its stars when it is born.

"The second one is the Dragon Barbarian, Long Ling. He has dragon blood, but also mixed blood of many kinds. His body is as strong as a mountain. His ancestor is a very strange bone dragon, which is very powerful and not weaker than Dou Ji at all."

Fang Yun said: "I haven't heard of this. It seems that he has been living in the demon world."

"The third one is a bird demon named Eagle Flame. It was born during the day, and the sun's true flames entered its egg, causing it to inexplicably gain a trace of phoenix blood. Since it broke out of its shell, its body has been surrounded by flames, and it is deeply loved by the Eagle Saint."

Fang Yun said: "I have heard that there was an eagle demon with phoenix blood in the demon tribe. He should be the one you are talking about."

"If these three saints can grow up smoothly, they will all have the potential to become great saints. They may even go one step further. If you are not as good as these three saints, entering the Sixth Corridor will be a dead end. If you are not weaker than these three saints, you will make enemies in the Comet Corridor and you will never have peace in the future. If you are stronger than the three saints and kill them, it means you will offend the three tribes of demon saints at the same time, which is also a dead end."

"No wonder you didn't let me go to the Sixth Corridor. In addition to these three saints, there are other saints who are not weak. The power of the demon and barbarian tribes is stronger than our human race. They also seem to have overwhelming power in the Comet Corridor. However, as far as I know, the relationship between the bird tribe and the dragon tribe is very bad, right?"

"Yes. The dragon tribe believes that the sky and the sea belong to the dragon tribe, but the bird tribe believes that the sky belongs to the bird tribe, so the two tribes have friction from time to time, and the Jiaolong will definitely help the dragon tribe at such times. So they have a great feud with the bird tribe. In fact, there are conflicts between the tribes in the demon world, but the severity varies. However, if a tribe conflicts with you, the other tribe is more likely to help them, you have to understand this."

"I know, thank you." Fang Yun said.

Fang Yun learned a lot about the Comet Corridor as he walked and talked.

Afterwards, the Ape Demon King arranged accommodation for Fang Yun and everyone else, and asked his nephew, the Ape Demon Marquis, to bring a team of ape demon generals to protect Fang Yun, and allowed Fang Yun to go to the book room managed by the ape tribe.

After Fang Yun entered the library, he immediately began to select books according to category, specifically those that recorded the history of the ancient demon clan, and then read at the speed of ten lines at a glance. All the books he had read would appear in the world of strange books.

Unfortunately, these books belong to the demon clan and cannot be directly included in the world of strange books. Fang Yun can only read them after they are finished before they can be included.

Since he didn't know when the Comet Corridor would open, Fang Yun would take a quick nap for half a quarter of an hour every three quarters of an hour to avoid being out of energy after suddenly entering the Comet Corridor.

As time passed, Fang Yun read more and more books and learned more and more about the demon race and the demon world.

Fang Yun closed a book and was about to take another half a minute nap when the Ape Demon Marquis walked in and said, "Your Majesty the Moon Emperor, your friend is in trouble. I failed to take good care of him. Please forgive me."

Fang Yun stood up and asked, "What's going on? Go back to your residence first!"

As they walked, Ape Demon Marquis said, "The Wolf Barbarian Saint is good friends with Long Ling of the Dragon Barbarian Tribe. When he heard that you stole the Wolf Barbarian Tribe's Moon Phase Divine Stone, Long Ling led people to look for you, but they ran into Han Shoulu and others, who said you were not there. Long Ling has always been irritable and scolded you. Han Shoulu was so angry that he refuted a few words, but Long Ling suddenly tore off Han Shoulu's leg and walked away."

"What! Where are the other candidates? You, the Star Demon Barbarians, allow the Blood Demon Barbarians to commit crimes in Star City?" Fang Yun asked.

Ape Demon Marquis said helplessly: "The other candidates were in other rooms and failed to arrive in time. As for the murderer... After all, he is the son of the Demon Saint. Unless the Demon King in the city orders us to do so, we cannot capture him. If an ordinary Blood Demon Barbarian did this, we would have killed him on the spot!"

"Is the Moon Emperor's status enough to catch him?"

"If Long Ling dared to attack you in Star City, we would have killed him on the spot, but the one he injured was an ordinary human, barely a Moon Soldier, so we have no way to catch him."

"In that case, gather your men and go with me to find Longling!"

"This... Actually, there is no need for you to make enemies with Saint Son Longling for outsiders."

"He is not an outsider. He was willing to give me the Secret Records of the Sacred Ruins right after we met. After I was poisoned, he gave me the precious Jiaolong Pearl without hesitation. He even gave me the Yinjiang Clam first, knowing that my Hanhu Clam couldn't hold too many things. What's more, he has already worshipped me as his master! How can I not take action when the demons bully my disciple!"

Yuan Yao Hou said helplessly: "If that's the case, then I will go and mobilize the troops. As long as you fight with him and get injured, we will have a reason to take him down!"

As soon as the Ape Demon Marquis finished speaking, a thousand-mile-long bridge of starlight descended from the sky and landed on the top of Star City Mountain. (To be continued...)
