Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 840: Chapter 707: The Hierarchy of Demons

The Demon Awakening Gate, shrouded in dark clouds, was like a sharp blade laid across the underground of Sifang City.

Ye Lingyue, along with Feng Xun and Long Baobao, passed through the Demon Awakening Gate.

Once through the Demon Sect’s portal, all of Sifang City was left behind.

What surprised Ye Lingyue, however, was that behind the Demon Awakening Gate was not the anticipated Senluo Ghost Prison with its terrifying scenes; instead, apart from the air being slightly chillier, the scenery here was not much different from that of Qing Province Continent.

Ahead was an ordinary wilderness path, winding and curving with an abundance of Ghost Moss growing on the ground.

Ghost Moss is a type of Demon Grass with an extremely tenacious life force, capable of growing on gravel or cliff faces.

In the darkness, the Ghost Moss emits a faint green glow, and walking on it easily gives the illusion of walking on moonlit mountain paths.

The surroundings were quiet and desolate; Yue Mei and the others were long out of sight, seemingly having moved on ahead.

With the Ghost Grass lighting the way, the path ahead was relatively easy to navigate.

”Sister Yue, can we let them out now?”

Long Baobao surveyed his surroundings with eyes full of curiosity. The adaptability of children is always remarkable. Having gotten used to the environment, he remembered his own Beast Pets.

Hearing this, Ye Lingyue unbuckled the Qiankun Purple Gold Bag hanging at her waist.

Upon opening the bulging Qiankun Bag, out rolled a green and lush Little Qiu Tian, topped with a sunflower-like flower disk.

Little Qiu Tian stretched its limbs and shook its Flower Vine, and then leisurely opened its half-closed flower disk.

With three puffing sounds, from within Little Qiu Tian’s flower disk emerged three fluffy little ones.

They were Little Wuya, Little Zhiyo, and Little Corpse, all in their bird forms.

Ye Lingyue’s Purple Gold Bag, due to the Gray Fire, had been refined with the ability to carry living beings.

Therefore, she had put Little Qiu Tian and the three little birds into it beforehand to bring through the Demon Awakening Gate.

Her previous Qiankun Purple Gold Bag had been robbed by Zi Tang Su from Lonely Moon Sea. Luckily, she had a spare. However, this new Life Qiankun Bag was a bit smaller. Little Qiu Tian had to uncomfortably swallow the three little beasts.

Little Wuya was also forced to revert back to its Little Phoenix form.

Little Wuya clumsily clambered up and transformed into a little loli.

Speaking of which, Little Zhiyo’s place in her arms is naturally his exclusive spot, while the newly joined member Little Corpse found its place on Little Wuya’s shoulder.

A flower, a loli, accompanied by two little beasts—it was quite a comedic grouping.

Fortunately, these little ones got along well on a daily basis. Seeing their companionship, Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but smile warmly.

”We’ve now entered the Demon Awakening Gate. We can’t stay here for more than twelve hours. To hurry up and help Long Baobao earn more points, we need to split up and act individually.”

Ever since obtaining the Chaos Heaven and Earth Array and capturing the forty-eight layers of the Earth Evil Prison, Ye Lingyue would toss her little beasts into Earth Evil Prison to practice whenever she could.

After several months of trials, Ye Lingyue had noticed that the strength of her little beasts had greatly improved.

As long as they don’t venture deep into the Demon Awakening Gate, the little creatures are first-tier in combat ability, so she plans to let them work in division, accumulating as many hunting points as possible within six hours.

The little beasts were also full of enthusiasm.

But at this moment, Little Corpse suddenly spoke up.

”Little Corpse? You say you recognize the paths around here and wish to stay to guide us?” After Ye Lingyue obtained the Demon Core ”Spirit Language,” she could understand the language of the Demon Weasel clan.

According to Little Corpse, the ancestors of the Lightning Mink clan had once been to this area.

Little Corpse is the last bloodline of the Lightning Mink clan; from birth, it obtained some ancestral memories, making it much wiser than the average Lightning Mink and demon beast.

It also told Ye Lingyue that the Fierce Beasts around the Rift Valley Sand River originally lived in the outskirts of the Demon Awakening Gate.

They were captured and released around the Rift Valley Sand River by the Sifang City Lord and the people from the Three Sects.

Among them, the high-level King-level Fierce Beasts were mostly chosen by the elders or core disciples of the Three Sects to be tamed as Beast Pets.

As for the other Fierce Beasts, they were used as trial subjects for the disciples of the Three Sects to hunt, to advance their cultivation.

Little Corpse’s words carried a sense of hatred.

Ye Lingyue and Long Baobao remained silent, it was also their first time learning that the purpose of Sifang City was as such.

Luckily, Little Corpse quickly recovered from its hatred.

Its dark, glossy eyes swept around before it confidently informed Ye Lingyue.

Their current location was still on the outskirts of the Demon Awakening Gate, far from the Endless World where the real demons reside, so they needn’t worry about encountering overly powerful demon beasts nearby.

The place with the highest concentration of demon beasts nearby should be a place called Demon Lying Abyss. Assuming they walk quickly, they should be able to reach the Demon Lying Abyss in about one and a half hours.

Ye Lingyue was worried that aimlessly wandering for six hours wouldn’t necessarily lead them to a gathering spot for demon beasts. Since Little Corpse could lead the way, nothing could be better.

So Little Qiu Tian, Little Zhiyo, and Little Wuya each chose a direction, agreeing to contact Ye Lingyue once every two hours, and then the three little guys rushed into the gray fog, disappearing from sight.

The three of them took Little Corpse and walked towards the Demon Lying Abyss.

Along the way, Long Baobao even asked Little Corpse some questions about demons and the Demon Domain.

”There are many kinds of demons, and among the Demon Clan, they are divided into demons, Great Demons, Sky Demons, Demon Kings, and Demon Ancestors. My ancestral clan, the Lightning Mink, belong to the lowest level of Fierce Beasts and are not even classified as demons. But due to certain reasons, I evolved and became a Corpse Demon. My cultivation is roughly close to that of a Great Demon. I’ve heard that true demons are very powerful, with Sky Demon level ones even comparable to the Human Clan’s Divine Power Realm. As for Demon Kings and Demon Ancestors, they are one in ten thousand existences.” That was all Little Corpse knew about demons and the Demon Domain.

After all, it was still young; its inherited memories were limited, plus its original lowly bloodline meant it knew very little indeed.

But with Little Corpse’s explanations, the journey seemed to pass particularly quickly.

Moreover, the plants in the Demon Domain varied widely and were very different from those on the Qing Province Continent, so they walked and watched along the way, and without realizing it, they were already near the Demon Lying Abyss.

The winding path had disappeared, and they could clearly hear the sound of rushing water ahead.

”Up ahead is the Demon Lying Abyss, a freshwater abyss and drinking spot for nearby demon and Fierce Beasts. At the same time, it’s also a hunting ground for high-level Fierce Beasts, so it’s extremely dangerous—everyone must be careful.” No sooner had Little Corpse finished speaking when Ye Lingyue and the others saw a black ”dragon” appear on the cliffs ahead, plunging down from the towering mountains.
