Liu Ming's eyes revealed a trace of astonishment. During these few days, he had learned a lot about the Ten Thousand Demon Continent from Mo Tian.
The greatest power on the Myriad Demon Continent was naturally the Central Imperial Dynasty, followed by the Four Great Clans, each with their own territory.
However, he didn't know the names of the four prestigious clans, and he didn't expect one of them to have the same surname as him.
"The four prestigious clans are the Gao Hei Clan, Kong Xiang Clan, Liu Clan, and Long Clan. The four prestigious clans' influence was spread throughout the Ten Thousand Demon Continent, and even the Central Imperial Dynasty had to take them into consideration. If there weren't any major changes to the Ten Thousand Demon Continent during the years that I was away, we should be in the Bing Province that is controlled by the Liu Clan. However, I am unable to ascertain the exact location. "Mo Tian's tone had already regained its calmness as he spoke indifferently.
"That's easy." Liu Ming smiled and moved, turning into a faint black light as he descended.
In a quiet room in a two-story building near the ore mine, the Jin Dan Devil was sitting cross-legged on the ground. His body was constantly emitting black gas which was then swallowed into his mouth. It seemed like he was cultivating some kind of devil art.
The room was enveloped by a layer of faint purple array, but right at this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of the Jin Dan Devil.
The Jin Dan Devil suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the black shadow in front of him.
The restriction in the room didn't have any signs of being damaged, and it was a high-grade defensive restriction. The person in front of him just appeared silently.
The Jin Dan Devil's divine senses swept across the black shadow and actually couldn't detect anything. He immediately stood up respectfully and bowed. "I am Fen Yang. Greetings to Senior. I wonder if Senior has come to visit. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Give me a map of the nearby region. The more detailed, the better." Within the black shadow, Liu Ming's voice emitted a buzzing sound.
"Yes!" When the Jin Dan Devil heard Liu Ming's words, he was slightly startled and immediately agreed.
His Divine Sense rummaged through his Storage Artifact, and he quickly took out a dark Jade Slips and handed it to Liu Ming with both hands.
Liu Ming took it and probed it with his Divine Sense. Sure enough, it was a detailed map. He nodded slightly, and the next moment, his figure became blurry and disappeared without a trace like a ghost.
Jin Dan Demon Cultivator watched as Liu Ming left and let out a long sigh. Beads of sweat could be seen on both sides of his face. At the same time, he cursed in his heart.
The cultivation base of the black silhouette earlier was at least at the late-phase of the Jin Dan Realm, and there was even a possibility that he was a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant. Why would he appear in such a desolate place?
If the other party had any other thoughts, he would already be a corpse by now.
Jin Dan Demon Cultivator's face was gloomy. His eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking.
On a mountain peak dozens of miles away from the mine, a black silhouette flashed, and Liu Ming's figure gradually emerged. He was holding the dark Jade Slips in his hand.
He placed the Jade Slips on his forehead and probed it with his Divine Sense. He quickly found the nearest city from here.
"Lunar Cliff City …" His eyes flickered as he muttered to himself.
A black aura rolled up beside him, and Mo Tian also appeared. He said with some emotions,
"It seems like I guessed it right. This is the Bing Province. It has been tens of thousands of years since I left the Ten Thousand Demons Continent. It seems like there hasn't been much change here. "
The Ten Thousand Demons Continent was divided into dozens of provinces and counties. The Bing Province was the most remote province in the southeast of the continent.
"No matter what, I will make a trip to the Lunar Cliff City first." Liu Ming kept the Jade Slips and turned into a black light. After a few flashes, he disappeared into the horizon.
…
A few days later …
On a plain far away from the Magic Crystal Mountain Range, Liu Ming's figure was suspended in the sky, looking at a huge gray city in front of him.
It was early in the morning, and the purple demonic sun was shining brightly in the sky. However, the whole city was filled with thick black clouds, making the whole city look a little dusky.
The city wall of the city was a thousand feet high, surrounding the whole city in a huge oval shape. There were many Demon Clan guards in yellow armor patrolling back and forth.
In addition, in the center of the city, there was a giant gray stone pillar that was almost twice the height of the city wall. It was surrounded by gray mist, and the surface of the stone pillar was engraved with some mysterious demonic patterns.
At first glance, the whole city was like a giant beast crawling on the ground, giving people an unusually majestic feeling.
"This is the Lunar Cliff City? I didn't expect it to be of such a scale. "Seeing this, Liu Ming whispered to himself.
"This is merely a small city at the border. Once you see the scale of the imperial city, you will be able to truly understand the deep foundation of the Ten Thousand Demon Continent." When Mo Tian spoke until here, his tone had a hint of pride.
When Liu Ming heard this, he didn't say much. He immediately wrapped his body in black gas and turned into a stream of light, whistling toward the Lunar Cliff City.
After a while, Liu Ming came to the city gate.
On both sides of the city gate, there was a thousand feet tall statue of a winged beastkin. A pair of ferocious giant eyes seemed to be watching the people who entered and left the city gate, giving people an inexplicable sense of deterrence.
A group of Demon Clan guards in yellow armor guarded the city gate. Each of them looked solemn. No one talked. They carefully checked the demons who entered and left.
Liu Ming was secretly surprised. The strength of these Demon Clan guards was not high, but in terms of their well-trained level, they were far better than those Sect families in the Middle Sky Continent and the Wild Continent.
The appearance of the Demon Clan was almost the same as that of the Human Clan. Now that Liu Ming could easily mobilize the demonic qi in his body, he naturally didn't have to worry about being recognized.
He immediately urged Che Huan Totem to hide the spiritual power fluctuations in his body, then he mixed in with the Demon Clan. Without any hindrance, he entered the city openly.
As soon as he entered the city, a row of neat and extremely neat giant buildings suddenly came into view.
These buildings seemed to be built from huge dark gray stones, looking orderly and magnificent.
The main road connecting the city gate was very wide, and all kinds of Demon Race people were entering and exiting the buildings on both sides. Occasionally, one could see some strange-looking Demon Beast carriages galloping back and forth, but these Demon Beasts were surrounded by waves of Demon Qi.
After Liu Ming looked at it for a while, he narrowed his eyes, expanded his Divine Thought, and soon grasped the general layout of the Moon Cliff City.
After a slight hesitation, he immediately walked in one direction of the city. After a while, he came to another wide street.
This place was much more lively than the main road. There were all kinds of shops on both sides of the street.
In the following time, Liu Ming walked into some medium-sized shops from time to time, but when he came out, he often had a large bag of demonic crystals in his hand.
Half a day later, after going through more than a dozen shops, Liu Ming finally exchanged some of the spiritual materials in his hand for demonic crystals.
After all, it would be difficult to walk in the Ten Thousand Demon Continent without some demonic crystals.
During this period, he also paid attention to the things sold in some shops. Most of them were ordinary materials and strange demonic weapons.
Speaking of which, on the way here, Liu Ming had already learned from Mo Tian that there was not much difference between demonic weapons and spiritual weapons. It was just that the patterns inscribed on them were different. The former was a demonic pattern, while the latter was a spiritual pattern. Therefore, demonic weapons had to be activated by demonic qi, and the power of demonic weapons was much greater than spiritual weapons.
Although he wanted to find a suitable demonic weapon, he didn't find anything. He didn't know if it was because of luck.
Occasionally, he would encounter some special demonic weapons, but they were often ridiculously expensive.
In addition, Liu Ming didn't shy away from collecting some ancient books that introduced information about the Ten Thousand Demon Continent.
After a busy day, he found an inn and stayed there.
In the room, Liu Ming took out the ancient books he collected during the day and piled them in front of him, carefully reading them.
Time elapsed bit by bit, and it was only until the second day when the sky gradually brightened that he finished reading all the ancient books in his hand. He finally had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the Ten Thousand Demon Continent, and he was completely in deep thought.
Right at this moment, his body flashed with black light, and Mo Tian's figure appeared.
Liu Ming was already used to Mo Tian's actions and simply spoke indifferently, "Senior Mo Tian."
"This is the list of materials for me to reforge my demonic body and for the Mountain River Pearl to advance to a grotto-heaven artifact. Now that you have a basic understanding of the entire continent, you can pay attention."
As soon as the voice ended, Mo Tian's figure flicked his finger, and a black light flashed and vanished into Liu Ming's glabella.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed, and his divine senses quickly scanned the list. His brows gradually knitted together and revealed an awkward expression.
"Let's not talk about the materials required for the advancement of the Mountain River Pearl. I have never heard of most of the materials for you to reforge your demonic body. If I want to find them, I don't know how many years it will take."
"If you were to rely on yourself, it would naturally be extremely difficult to gather all these materials. However, it isn't that there isn't a shortcut." Mo Tian chuckled as he spoke.
Liu Ming's expression changed as he cupped his fists and said, "Senior, please give me some pointers."
"This method is easy to explain. With your current strength, as long as you join a Demon Race Clan and rely on the clan's power to gather these materials, it will naturally be much easier." Mo Tian saw this and immediately said.
"Join a Demon Race Clan?" Liu Ming's expression changed, and he was a little hesitant.
Ever since he started cultivating, he might have joined the Barbarian Ghost Sect and the Taiqing Gate, but he had basically maintained his own style because he didn't want to be restricted.
"You don't have to worry. I am asking you to join a Demon Race Clan. It was established by me back then, and I am very clear about the details. Furthermore, when I left back then, I had already left behind some backup plans … As long as you go, with my help, I believe you will soon be able to take control of this Demon Race Clan and will not be restricted by anyone. "Mo Tian saw through Liu Ming's thoughts and spoke with a mischievous smile.
"Then I shall listen to Senior's arrangements." Liu Ming rubbed his chin and muttered for a moment before he slowly nodded.
