At first, Qin Fen didn't understand what the Demon Stone was, but after seven days, when he saw the giant meteorite that looked like it had fallen from the heavens, everything became clear.
According to Hong Chen Wu, this boulder had existed since the Demon City had existed. In fact, it had existed even longer than the Demon City itself. Later on, a Demon King designated this boulder as the entrance to the Demon City, and carved the words "Demon City" onto it.
From then on, the Demon Stone became the symbol of Demon City. The back of this stone was the territory of Demon City.
Among the four major areas of the West Sea Continent, Demon City and the Dead Sea didn't allow outsiders to enter. However, Hong Chen Wu gave Qin Fen a Demon Orb in advance. She said that as long as he kept the Demon Orb on him, he wouldn't be discovered.
Actually, Qin Fen was thinking that even if he didn't use the Demon Orb, he could still cultivate the Demon Lord's Bible and produce Demon Qi in his body. However, he already had the Creation of Heaven and Earth Skill, so it was better for him not to touch other cultivation methods to avoid Qi Deviation.
When the two of them walked under the giant stone, a white light appeared in the air in front of them. Although Qin Fen couldn't see through this formation, he could feel the ancient and familiar aura of the formation. It was undoubtedly the aura of an ancient formation.
The two of them smoothly passed through the formation. The barren desert in front of them changed greatly, and a large, bustling city appeared.
This city was surrounded by mountains. There were tall buildings, and there was an endless stream of horses and carriages. It was no less prosperous than Snow Field City. When Qin Fen scanned the mountains in the distance with his divine sense, he realized that the real holy land of Demon City was the mountains, and not the bustling city in front of him.
"Qin Fen, we've entered Demon City. The formation that appeared under the Demon Stone is the only entrance to Demon City. As long as you're not a Demon Clan disciple, you can't enter the formation," Hong Chen Wu said.
"I'm not a Demon Clan disciple. Just because you gave me that Demon Orb, I can enter?" Qin Fen didn't understand the principle behind the formation.
Hong Chen Wu said, "The Demon Gate is a formation that has existed since ancient times. It can sense Demon Qi. As long as a cultivator doesn't have Demon Qi, they will be judged as a Demon Clan disciple. The Demon Orb contains abundant Demon Qi, so the Demon Gate judged you as a Demon Clan disciple."
Qin Feng came to a realization. "So, it doesn't have to be a Demon Bead. As long as it's an item with Demon Qi, the Demon Sect will judge it as a Demon Clan disciple?"
Hongchen Wu nodded.
"Then what is the meaning of this Demon Sect Array Gate? Items with demonic energy can be easily found. If cultivators from other races want to enter Demon City, they can just find an item with demonic energy. "Qin Fen was puzzled.
Hongchen Wu covered her mouth and giggled. Her simple movement was full of charm. "You're right, but aside from the disciples of the Demon Race, who else would know the secret of the Demon Path's spell formation? Or rather, even if there are people like me in Shanghai who bring in outsiders, this is a very rare occurrence … "
Qin Fen understood Hong Chen Wu's meaning.
To put it simply, if Hong Chen Wu hadn't told him about the Demon Gate's verification method, he definitely wouldn't have thought of it.
Putting aside the issue of the Demon Sect, Qin Feng looked at the mountain range in the distance and asked, "What is that place?"
"That's the Demonic Mountains in Shanghai." Hong Chen Wu patiently explained the situation of Demon City to him. "The truly precious place in Demon City isn't in the central city. It's the remote and remote Demonic Mountains …"
"Rumor has it that there are 308 Demonic Mountains in Demon City, and every Demonic Mountain contains dense spiritual energy. It's precisely because of this dense spiritual energy that the Demonic Mountains have become the treasured land that all the Demon Race sects fight over. But now that the power of Demon City has taken shape, the 308 Demonic Mountains have all been occupied by the major powers. But every year, there are still some incidents where people fight over the Demonic Mountains …"
"Aside from the dense spiritual energy in the Demonic Mountains, there's another important reason why all the major powers fight over them. Those Demonic Mountains will automatically grow some spirit herbs, and they're all level four and above spirit herbs."
"Spirit herbs above level four?" Qin Fen asked in confusion.
Hong Chen Wu nodded seriously and said, "That's right! There really are spirit herbs above level four. I've seen this with my own eyes. "
Qin Fen revealed an extremely shocked expression, but it wasn't because spirit herbs above level four grew on the Demonic Mountains. Instead, it was because he'd read a sentence in the Encyclopedia of Medicinal Pills. The general meaning was that spirit herbs above level four had spiritual intelligence, and would automatically seek out spirit veins to grow.
If what Hong Chen Wu said was true, then there must be spirit veins hidden under these Demonic Mountains. And this was the reason why Qin Fen was so shocked. If there was a spirit vein hidden under every Demonic Mountain, then wouldn't there be 308 spirit veins in Demon City?
Or, to put it in another way, if there was only one spirit vein under the 308 Demonic Mountains, then how high was this spirit vein's grade? Even a supreme-grade spirit vein couldn't support the supply of spirit energy from 308 Demonic Mountains at the same time. Could it be an immortal vein?
Qin Fen was shocked by his own thoughts. Or rather, this wasn't a thought at all, but a hole in his brain.
"Qin Fen, what's wrong?" Hong Chen Wu asked when she saw his serious expression.
"Miss Hong, have you heard why the Demonic Mountains are rich in spirit energy, and why there are spirit herbs above level four?"
Hong Chen Wu had already taken off her red veil. The reason why she always covered her face when she went out in the past was because she was afraid that her appearance would attract unnecessary trouble. Now that she was back in Demon City, she had nothing to worry about.
"I've heard my father and uncles talk about this when they were chatting. They guessed that there might be a spirit vein hidden under the Demonic Mountains. They even sent people down to investigate the situation, but there seemed to be an ancient formation at the bottom of the Demonic Mountains. There was no way to go underground," Hong Chen Wu said.
Qin Fen became more and more curious about the 308 Demonic Mountains. He was even more certain about the theory of immortal veins. Since even immortal stones appeared on the Divine Continent, immortal veins weren't completely impossible.
The two of them chatted as they walked, like a pair of strolling lovers.
Qin Fen had a general understanding of Demon City's terrain and situation. Now, his mind was filled with the 308 Demonic Mountains. He wasn't very interested in the central city. After a simple stroll on a few streets, he suggested, "Miss Hong, why don't we take a look at the Demonic Mountains? There aren't any restrictions there, right?"
Hong Chen Wu shook her head and said, "There aren't any restrictions in the Demonic Mountains, but there are seals and formations on every Demonic Mountain. Other than the sect's disciples who occupy that Demonic Mountain, outsiders are not allowed to enter. Once this happens, it will be regarded as a provocation, and you will be killed on the spot."
Qin Fen was a little disappointed. In this way, how could he investigate the secret of the Demonic Mountains' source of spirit energy?
Hong Chen Wu continued, "Since Senior Qin wants to go home, then let's go."
"Go home?" Qin Fen was dumbfounded.
Hong Chen Wu smiled and said, "I forgot to tell Senior Qin that the Black Demon Clan lives on the second Demonic Mountain. The 308 Demonic Mountains in Demon City are ranked according to the number. The higher the number, the denser the spirit energy on the corresponding Demonic Mountain."
