Chapter 448
Nine Astra Skies
448 The floating city!
~~
Ye chen did not know what kind of treasure this ghost king token was, but he felt a sense of pity. He had originally wanted to subdue the ghost king and Chi Mei and then take the ghost king token. He had not expected such a treasure to explode directly.
It seemed that the ghost king and evil spirits had also been destroyed!
Ye Chen’s right hand moved and the demon suppressing watch slowly shrank and landed in his palm. After touching the demon suppressing watch, ye chen suddenly felt that there was something strange about it. It seemed to be different from before.
“What’s wrong with the demon suppressing watch?” Ye chen gasped and examined the demon suppressing watch carefully.
Little tanuki stood on ye Chen’s shoulder and looked at the demon suppressing watch curiously with its big eyes.
Ye chen felt that the demon suppressing watch had gained some intelligence. The body of the clock exuded a cold and bloodthirsty aura, similar to the aura of the ghost king and Chi Mei!
“Master Lion, what’s going on?” Ye chen thought about it and had a rough idea but still asked.
the ghost king token is just an item possessed by the ghost king Chi Mei. It’s not a big deal. After being bombarded by the demon suppressing watch, its material couldn’t withstand it and broke directly. The ghost king Chi Mei had nowhere to possess. It just so happens that your demon suppressing watch doesn’t have a weapon spirit, so it possessed your demon suppressing watch. Master Lion took a sip of wine and caressed his beloved concubine beside him. He was rather pleased with himself.
“These ghost kings and demons won’t have any bad influence on the demon suppressing watch, right?” Ye chen nodded. It was almost as he had guessed, but he was still a little worried.
“The demon suppressing watch has already recognized its master. This ghost king and Chi Mei have coincidentally become the tool spirit of the demon suppressing watch, and they should be very compatible. You’ve struck it rich, kid!” Master Lion said with a smile.
“Thank you, Master Lion. As expected, Master Lion is wise, wise, and resourceful. I’ve never missed a plan!” Ye chen praised without any pressure. After being with Master Lion for so long, he understood Master lion’s temper very well. He had to stroke Master lion’s fur. This time, Master Lion had probably expected this to happen and had asked ye chen to use the demon suppressing watch to suppress the ghost king token.
“Brat, you’re flattering me again. I don’t buy it!” Master Lion scoffed and twisted his head in disdain. However, his eyes were filled with pride.
“My husband is so powerful!”
“My husband is really wise and farsighted!”
The young lionesses by Master lion’s side were observant as well. They praised him one after another. Master Lion could not help grinning for a long time. When he thought about the life he had led with their master in the past, it was like heaven and hell.
Ye chen studied the demon suppressing watch in his palm. With the ghost king and Chi Mei as its Artifact Spirit, the demon suppressing watch seemed a little more mysterious.
He tried to activate the demon suppressing watch, but the demon suppressing watch flew up into the air with a whoosh. It kept spinning and enlarging, and countless evil spirits and demons surged from all directions and entered the body of the bell.
Little tanuki blinked her eyes and looked at the demon suppressing watch curiously. The illusionary Pearl beside her flickered. The power of the demon suppressing watch shocked little tanuki and her ancestors who were in the illusionary Pearl.
The tanuki clan’s ancestors in the illusion Pearl were extremely dissatisfied with little tanuki for following ye chen. How could the tanuki clan’s chief follow a human all the time?
They had asked little tanuki to leave ye chen several times. This was also one of the reasons why they had been reluctant to let little tanuki out of the illusion Pearl. However, as time passed, they calmed down and did not stop little tanuki for the time being. They wanted to see how far this human boy named ye chen could grow.
However, they still strongly opposed little tanuki’s transformation. The tanuki clan’s patriarch could not be easily promised to a human!
Little tanuki was likely to grow her tenth tail before she reached adulthood, so they had to ensure the purity of the tanuki clan’s bloodline. The tanuki clan’s Affairs were far more complicated than he had imagined. If little tanuki wanted to become a ten-tailed tanuki, she had to be fully prepared.
However, no matter what her ancestors said, little tanuki was not willing to be separated from ye chen. However, she could not tell ye chen about some of her hidden worries.
The demon suppressing watch kept devouring the demons and monsters. Ye chen felt that after the demons and monsters were devoured by the demon suppressing watch, they did not vanish but became a part of the ghost king and monsters. They could merge with the ghost king and monsters at any time and could also separate at any time.
Once someone was suppressed by the demon suppressing watch, these evil spirits could rush out at any time!
‘I wonder how powerful the demon suppressing watch will be with the artifact Spirit,’ ye chen thought to himself. He was eager to try but unfortunately, he could not find anyone to test it on.
No matter what, he had to let the demon suppressing watch absorb more powerful evil spirits in the sunken Jade Tower.
Ye chen saw that most of the daemon King rank evil spirits around him had been absorbed. He reached out his right hand and grabbed the demon suppressing watch.
“Little Wing, one buck, you guys can come out now.” Ye chen said to little Wingsy and one buck inside the soul Pearl.
With a whoosh, little Wingsy and one buck flew out of the soul Pearl. They had just seen the entire process of ye chen subduing the ghost king Chimei from the soul Pearl and had been amazed. The demon suppressing watch was truly too powerful.
“Search the area and see if there are any other discoveries.” Ye chen did not forget the purpose of this trip. His astral body had already spread out in all directions.
Ye chen, little Wingsy, one buck, and little tanuki had turned the fifth floor of the sunken Jade Tower upside down. They had found all sorts of tier four or five spirit artifacts, as well as medicinal pills such as earth quintessence pills and heaven quintessence pills. They had piled up like a small hill in ye Chen’s armguard space. Unfortunately, there was nothing that excited ye chen. There was also no clue about the spirit beast.
The old man who had carved the ice sculpture had said that with his strength, he could only reach the sixth floor of the sunken Jade Tower at most. Ye chen did not know what was on the sixth floor. Ye chen led little tanuki forward and a huge pit appeared at the end of the fifth floor. Looking down, it was pitch black.
From this deep pit, one could pass through the sixth floor of the sunken Jade Tower!
Looking down, the extremely deep and huge pit was like an endless abyss, exuding an indescribable and mysterious aura.
Ye chen had to explore the sunken Jade Tower, whether it was to unravel the secrets of Tianyuan ancient city or to obtain more things to fight against the spirit beast tide.
“Little tanuki, little Wingsy, one buck, you guys should enter the soul Pearl next,” Ye chen looked at little tanuki, little Wingsy, and one buck behind him. He did not know what dangers lay on the sixth floor of the sunken Jade Tower. To be safe, it was better to let them enter the soul Pearl first.
“Big brother ye chen, you have to be careful too.” Little Wingsy said in his childish voice. Although he was young, he knew the dangers of the sixth floor. The demons and monsters on the fifth floor were already very powerful. He wondered what level of monsters would appear on the sixth floor.
Little tanuki also looked at ye chen with a face full of worry.
Ye chen smiled and consoled her. it’s alright. I’ll hide in the heavenly Astra seal whenever I’m in danger. I’ll have no problem protecting myself.
Little tanuki, little Wingsy, and one buck entered the soul Pearl. Ye chen put away the soul Pearl and leaped into the deep pit. As he fell, he could clearly feel that he had passed through a thin spatial barrier. Each level of the sunken Jade Tower was an independent space.
In the blink of an eye, a different scene appeared before his eyes. Everything here made ye chen feel a sense of shock from the bottom of his heart.
He looked down and saw a dark void beneath his feet. Above his head, a huge vortex of light was spinning. That was the way out of the sixth floor of the sunken Jade Tower. In front of ye chen was a huge city. The city took up hundreds of miles and was crowded with buildings. On top of each building, there were various defensive formations, machines, and other things.
Light and shadow swirled around the secret engravings, making the city look dazzling.
Around the city stood a total of six towering towers. A sword River flowed around the towers as if a powerful sword array had been set up. At the top of the towers was a huge windmill-like thing but ye chen knew that it was not a windmill because each of its leaves was a sharp steel knife. Anything that came close to it would be cut into pieces.
The city was suspended in the air. Ye chen flew outside but found that he could not find any gap to enter the city.
The city’s defense was too tight. Once they got close, they would trigger the array at the edge of the city.
Ye chen stood in the air and used his astral body. He carefully extended his astral body into the city and was pleasantly surprised to find that his astral body was not hindered by the restriction.
His soul smoothly extended into the city. Inside, it was like a bustling city. On both sides of the streets, there were all kinds of shops, too many for the eyes to take in. However, in such a large city, there was not a single person. The streets that should have been extremely lively and prosperous seemed a little cold and desolate.
Ye Chen’s astral body probed into the shops on both sides of the street. He saw that all the shops were filled with goods, selling all kinds of things. There were all kinds of clothing, heaven-earth pouches, spirit artifacts, and so on. There were a few shops selling food, medicinal pills, and so on. However, those things had already rotted away. Only things like heaven-earth pouches and spirit artifacts remained.
those heaven and earth bags should belong to the high-grade ones, and the space inside was much larger than ordinary heaven and earth bags. and those spirit artifacts were mostly tier six or seven and above, and there were even tier eight or nine! There were so many of them that they could almost be described as a mountain. If they were placed in the outside world, who knew what kind of uproar they would cause.
There were all kinds of treasures in front of him but unfortunately, he could not enter at all. The defense of this city was too tight. Ye chen did not dare to barge in without full confidence.
Ye Chen’s astral body continued to extend and reached the corner of the street. Inside, an extremely luxurious shop attracted ye Chen’s attention. The storefront of this shop was made of Tianhua crystal. It was transparent, bright, and extremely conspicuous. In the auction house of the central Empire’s imperial capital, a small piece of Tianhua crystal the size of a thumb could be sold for the high price of tens of thousands of Chi-amassing pills! And here, the extremely expensive Tianhua crystal, five to six meters tall and three to four meters wide, was actually used as a facade!
A shop that used Tianhua crystal to decorate its front, what would it sell?
