This Journey to the West is so terrifying
Chapter 355 - 293 Luoxing City
"And this one!" After speaking, another book was passed over.
Lin Fang glanced at the cover and saw three big characters written on it: Tao Te Ching.
As he gently flipped open the book, a grand voice suddenly echoed in his ears.
"The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao."
The moment he heard this voice, Lin Fang entered a mysterious realm where countless images appeared before his eyes, depicting the evolution of the world.
He didn’t know how much time had passed when he emerged from that mysterious state, his mind now filled with much more knowledge. Shocked, he looked at the Tao Te Ching; it was worthy of being a handwritten work of the Taoist Master, capable of leading people to enlightenment.
This visit to Tushita Palace truly was not in vain, the rewards were indeed substantial.
"Does the Taoist Master have any other instructions?" Lin Fang inquired.
"The master has commanded us to follow you from now on," Golden Horn and Silver Horn said, looking at Lin Fang with a gaze full of expectation.
Ever since the three masters disappeared and they were trapped inside Tushita Palace, though safe and sound, they felt like birds in a cage, devoid of freedom – they had been eagerly awaiting Lin Fang’s arrival.
At last, they could go out.
Lin Fang did not expect that the Taoist Master, before departing, had intended to entrust to him his apprentices and mounts.
He didn’t ask why the Elderly Lord would know such things, as such beings, with their ability to foresee and peer into destiny, wouldn’t find it difficult to predict the future; perhaps he had foreseen this day already.
"Are you sure about this? My strength is modest, and I can’t guarantee your safety," Lin Fang asked seriously.
"We abide by the master’s arrangement. Since the master has said to follow you, that naturally is the safest choice," the Green Ox Demon said, rather speechlessly.
This young man actually dared to underestimate their master.
Lin Fang smiled at these words, then connected with the Demon Realm, and a space gate instantly appeared within Tushita Palace.
"Since you have decided, go on in. I still have matters to attend to in the Heavenly Court. You guys wait inside for a while." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Before he even finished speaking, Golden Horn and Silver Horn had leaped into the space gate. They had had enough of this place.
Lin Fang watched their figures disappear and said somewhat speechlessly, "Actually, you didn’t need to jump; walking in would have sufficed."
"Right, how should Tushita Palace be brought in?"
"You’ll understand in a moment!" The Green Ox Demon said, shaking his head lightly, then strolled leisurely into the space gate.
Once the three of them had left, Lin Fang felt as if an invisible will was communicating with him. Understanding it to be the spirit of Tushita Palace, his thoughts connected with it, and he watched as the grand Tushita Palace seemed to transform into flowing water, slowly entering the space gate.
Lin Fang sighed lightly and, taking advantage of the special aura left by the Taoist Master that had not yet dissipated, quickly morphed into a butterfly and took flight out of the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Not long after his departure, the special aura that hovered above the Thirty-Three Heavens vanished, and the sense of looking at the world from afar also completely dissipated.
Celestial beings throughout the Three Realms suddenly opened their eyes and cast their gaze towards the Thirty-Three Heavens.
"What happened?"
"The Elderly Lord’s dojo has disappeared, and this place seems to have returned to normal," they communicated through thought, their minds captivated by the changes in the Thirty-Three Heavens; they had once believed it hid the key to another realm.
But now, the uniqueness of this place is fading.
They searched curiously for some traces, the enormous Tushita Palace had simply vanished as if it had never been there.
However, all efforts were in vain, the Tushita Palace seemed to have disappeared into thin air, leaving not a single clue behind.
"Is this the power of the Taoist Master, that even his dojo we cannot find?"
Sitting upon his throne, the Jade Emperor looked over the now empty Thirty-Three Heavens, in silence, his eyes deep with thoughts unknown.
The mighty beings outside were shaken and bewildered, little did they know that Golden Horn and Silver Horn, who had entered the Demon Realm, were even more astounded, their mouths hanging open in shock.
What met their sight was an immense world. As demons of experience, Green Ox Demon and Golden Horn and Silver Horn could tell this was not the so-called Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
Such a space was but a minor space attached to the Three Realms, and though it was proclaimed a Cave Heaven Blessed Land, its laws were not complete.
But the world before them was undeniably a real world, one that, if nurtured, could evolve into another Heaven and Earth.
"This world!" Golden Horn exclaimed in amazement.
Soon, their attention was captivated by the distant Starry Sky Tree. Even though they considered themselves worldly from following their master, they were still astonished by the sight of such a majestic Starry Sky Tree.
That towering tree reached from Heaven to Earth, drawing in endless starlight pouring down from the Nine Heavens, turning into specks of starlight that fell upon the city below, enveloping the entire city in brilliant starlight.
And on the city walls, there were dazzling Runes, flickering uncertainly as if absorbing the speckles of starlight, strengthening themselves.
This was a city of starlight, a city of miracles.
"Come on, let’s go have a look!" Silver Horn called out loudly and then raced towards the city.
Golden Horn and Green Ox Demon followed closely behind; all three of them were formidable in strength, and since Lin Fang had let them in, they were quite bold.
It wasn’t long before they arrived at the base of the city and saw the huge characters for Demon Capital.
"Luoxing City!" Golden Horn murmured, trying to recall any memories associated with Luoxing City in his mind but found none.
"Who are you?" Suddenly, a voice came from nearby. It was two armor-clad demons sternly questioning them.
Golden Horn and Silver Horn glanced over and realized that these two gatekeeping demons were not weak; they could have even been minor leaders in their own Lotus Cave.
"Where is this place?" Golden Horn asked curiously.
"This is the Demon Court’s Demon Capital. Who are you, and why do you look so unfamiliar?" the gatekeeping demon interrogated them.
After all, although this world was large, there were only so many from the Demon Clan who had entered, and they had generally met each other, having certain impressions. However, these three were completely unfamiliar, yet the Demon Qi they exuded was very strong, immediately recognizable as powerful Demon Kings.
"Demon Capital!" Green Ox Demon shouted in shock.
The Demon Capital was once the center of the Demon Court, already destroyed in the war between the Heavenly Court and the Demon Court. Yet why was there a Demon Capital here, and judging by its appearance, it was even more grandiose and formidable than the previous one.
And what exactly was Lin Fang’s connection to this Demon Capital, and why had he sent them here?
"Wasn’t the Demon Capital destroyed?"
"The old one was destroyed. This is a newly constructed Demon Capital in the Demon Realm. It has just been completed not long ago. Shocking, isn’t it? The first time I saw it, I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep for several days. This place will be the center for our Demon Clan in the future," said the gatekeeping demon with a hint of pride.
They had all come from suffering and cherished everything they had now all the more.
