Thanks to Yan Tong, Yi Tian was able to join the transport team heading to the imperial capital of the Flaming Prison Dynasty. He arrived at the imperial capital without a hitch and left quietly. Relying on his profound cultivation base, he snuck into the imperial capital alone. After passing through several barriers, he finally arrived at the entrance of a secret palace.
Here, Yi Tian sensed the strongest spiritual pressure fluctuation in the entire imperial capital. Speaking of which, his main target this time was the Flaming Prison Emperor's uncle, Yan Lei.
Now that he had found the right person, he naturally wouldn't leave so easily. Without alerting anyone, Yi Tian quietly broke the restriction and snuck in, only to find two people confronting each other in the main hall. One of them was the Flaming Prison Emperor's uncle, Yan Lei, while the other was the Flaming Prison Emperor, Chu Yanfei, who was also an old acquaintance of his.
Listening to their conversation, it seemed that they were discussing something, but the content was about the agenda of the 'joust for a spouse' to be held in the imperial capital. In Yan Fei's opinion, she would never agree to this matter no matter what, but because of the Flaming Prison Demon Emperor, she had to bite the bullet and accept this arrangement.
As for Yan Lei, he was also analyzing the pros and cons. Speaking of which, it was also because the Flaming Prison Demon Clan was not strong enough. After the Great War of the Demonic Calamity, the other major races would be suppressed by the Heavenly Demon Clan. Although the Flaming Prison Demon Clan had the closest relationship with the Heavenly Demon Clan, they couldn't be suppressed. However, compared to the other major races, the Heavenly Demon Dugu Jimo was a man with his own ideas. He wouldn't kill them all. He just sent his younger generation to the Flaming Prison Demon Clan to propose marriage. It seemed that he wanted to weaken the Flaming Prison Demon Clan's imperial family.
Speaking of which, although the Flaming Prison Demon Emperor had many children, only a few of them could become successful. Their cultivation bases were mostly stuck at the Immortal Transformation stage, and only a few could cultivate to the Severed Soul stage. Among them, Concubine Yan had the greatest potential, which was why the Sky Fiend Clan had proposed marriage.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Devil Race had lost a lot of their core power after the demonic calamity, so they couldn't find a suitable candidate among the Severed Soul Stage cultivators. Great Celestial Devil Dugu Jimo had no choice but to send his great-grandson, Dugu Canglang. Although his cultivation base was slightly weaker, he was still at the peak of the late Soul Formation stage. There was at least an 80% chance that he could break through the bottleneck and reach the Severed Soul stage in the future. In that case, he would be a good match for Concubine Yan.
While the two were talking, the Infernal Inferno Royal Uncle seemed to have noticed something. Immediately, Yi Tian stopped hiding and revealed his true self. It was just that when he came to the Devil World this time, he had already cultivated the [Celestial Demon as One] to the Dacheng Realm, so there was no need for him to appear in front of others as a cultivator of the Infernal Prison.
His appearance as a member of the Heavenly Demon Clan stunned the two of them. Fortunately, his accent did not change, so Concubine Yan and Yan Lei recognized him on the spot.
After comforting the two, Yi Tian sat down first and then let the two sit together to discuss.
After a brief introduction of his situation, Yi Tian found that Yan Lei seemed to be more confident than before. He was probably thinking about how to use him to deal with the great celestial devil Dugu Jimo.
On the other hand, Concubine Yan's thoughts were much simpler. After looking at herself, she said, "After I heard that you died in the abyss of the Devil World, I was sure that things weren't that simple. However, after that, news about you from other levels of the Upper Spirit Nine Realms really surprised me. "
"What could make you, the crown prince, so restless?" Yi Tian asked with a smile.
When he mentioned her identity, Concubine Yan suddenly realized something. She instantly straightened her appearance and returned to her previous solemn appearance. However, there was still a glimmer in her eyes. She then replied, "According to the news that came back, there was a cultivator with the same name as you who displayed great power in the Demon Realm. You were there in the ancient battlefield of the Demon Realm and the battle of Yan Peigong in the Demon City."
"I didn't expect those old stories to spread so quickly," Yi Tian said jokingly.
"Although the news only came back from the Demon Realm a few years later, I was skeptical when I first heard it," Concubine Yan said.
"Why is that?" Yi Tian asked.
"Other than the name, the rest of the information is still very different from the Yi Tian I know," Concubine Yan explained, "But as the news about you continued to come back from the Demon Realm and the Spiritual Realm, I vaguely realized that the Li Fire Sect Master Yi Tian was the same person as the consecrator of my expedition to the Infernal Prison."
"Why is that?" Yi Tian asked.
"Because it's easy for a big shot like you to sneak into the Demon Realm and hide your identity. Moreover, the large sects in the Spiritual Realm usually let their juniors travel to various realms, so these things should be prepared in advance," Concubine Yan said, "But what I want to ask you is, did you have any other intentions when you approached me back then?"
Hearing this, Yi Tian looked embarrassed. After a while, he sighed helplessly and said, "You guessed right. Back then, I came to the Demon Realm to look for an opportunity to advance. As for when I was in the Demon Realm, I also took good care of you. At first, it was to hide my identity. After all, my ultimate goal was to sneak into the Demon Realm and the Abyss. In fact, I never had the intention of using you. "
"So you didn't have any intention of having sex?" Concubine Yan asked.
After hearing this, the embarrassment on Yi Tian's face became even more intense. He turned to look at Yan Lei, who seemed to have not heard the conversation at all. He was sitting in the main seat and dozing off like an old monk. He knew what he should participate in and what he should pretend to be ignorant of.
At this moment, Yi Tian only felt a headache. With his identity, he could totally ignore this problem. But when he saw Concubine Yan's expectant face, he couldn't bear it. He sighed and said, "If it weren't for our identities, of course we would be together."
"Okay, I know what you're thinking now. Thank you for finally untying the knot in my heart for many years." Concubine Yan was a little sobbing now. She wiped her eyes and returned to normal, "I know some things can't be forced, but it's fine as long as you have me in your heart. I think you sneaked into the Flaming Prison Dynasty this time because you heard about the 'Marriage Contest', right? "
Nodding, Yi Tian smiled and said, "The 'Marriage Contest' held by the Flaming Prison Demon Emperor this time should be used to shut the mouth of the Great Sky Demon Dugu Jimo. But don't worry, this matter will be solved eventually."
"With you around, everything can be handled properly. I remember I thought so too back then." Concubine Yan stopped crying and smiled, "But why did you come to the Devil Realm this time? With your current cultivation, you won't easily put yourself in danger, right?"
When it came to business, Yi Tian's face naturally became serious. The implications were too complicated. Speaking of which, he didn't want to get them involved. After thinking about it, he said, "This time I did come to the Devil Realm for an urgent matter. My main purpose is to find the One-eyed Demon Cultivator and confront him face to face."
"Isn't the One-eyed Demon Cultivator called Scarlet-Eyed Demon? Is this his real name?" Concubine Yan asked in confusion.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian glanced at the Flaming Prison Imperial Uncle Yan Lei. He seemed to have woken up from his daydream. Then a trace of clarity flashed through his eyes. He should know the answer to Concubine Yan's question. With his Body Integration Stage cultivation, he could naturally discover the changes after coming into contact with the One-eyed Demon Cultivator.
After a pause, Yi Tian replied, "The Scarlet-Eyed Demon died long ago. He was taken over by his father, the One-eyed Demon Cultivator."
"I didn't expect these One-eyed Demon Cultivators to be so cruel. They didn't even let their own son go," Concubine Yan replied in surprise.
"That's normal. These One-eyed Demon Cultivators are born eccentric, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did anything out of line," Yi Tian said indifferently.
"Then why are you looking for this One-eyed Demon Cultivator?" Concubine Yan asked.
"This One-eyed Demon Cultivator can be considered a living fossil in the Demon Realm. Naturally, he knows the situation of the Demon Realm for a long time. I have a question about a long time ago that I need to ask him," Yi Tian said.
"It seems you came at the wrong time," Imperial Uncle Yan Lei suddenly said, "The One-eyed Demon Cultivator was last seen in the Demon Realm dozens of years ago. Now, under the joint search of the Body Integration Stage cultivators in the Demon Realm, I don't know where he escaped to. He should have escaped to some corner in the depths of the Demon Realm."
"No," Yi Tian shook his head and said, "Although I didn't have much contact with the One-eyed Demon Cultivator, we worked together to deal with the Great Heavenly Demon Dugu Jimo. Judging from his arrogant behavior, this person is definitely not someone who is willing to be lonely. Moreover, I concluded that this person should be in the main cities of the major clans in the Demon Realm. With his strength, it's easy for him to hide from Body Integration Stage cultivators. Moreover, the One-eyed Demon Cultivators have all kinds of secret techniques and abilities. I'm sure that One-eyed Demon Cultivator has cultivated some kind of secret technique that can hide him from the Great Heavenly Demon Dugu Jimo's detection. "
"Then, according to you, how should we find him?" Yan Lei asked with a puzzled expression.
"You can start by looking for the whereabouts of high-grade resources," Yi Tian said, "As far as I know, although One-eyed Demon Cultivator possessed the Scarlet-Eyed Demon, his cultivation hasn't recovered to its peak state. Therefore, he needs to collect a large number of top-grade treasures. As for advancing to the next level, it's absolutely impossible in the current environment of the Demon Realm. "
"I agree with the first half of what Brother Yi said. If One-eyed Demon Cultivator wants to recover to the pinnacle of the late-Body Integration Stage, it's absolutely impossible for him to do so without sufficient resources," Yan Lei said with a sigh. "It's impossible for him to hide in the depths of the Demon Realm, so he should be searching for the high-grade treasures he needs in the main cities of the Demon Realm. However, I don't know why you're so sure that he won't be able to progress to the Grand Ascension Stage. "
"I remember that when I faced the Great Heavenly Demon Dugu Jimo in the Jasper Flower Pavilion, One-eyed Demon Cultivator said that his clan's path to the Grand Ascension Stage had been cut off by the Great Heavenly Demon Cultivator. That's why he's so hostile toward the Heavenly Demon Cultivator," Yi Tian said slowly.
Expressions of shock appeared on Concubine Yan and Yan Lei's faces upon hearing this. Before the two of them had a chance to ask any questions, Yi Tian continued, "Furthermore, One-eyed Demon Cultivator told me that the reason behind the One-eyed Demon Cultivator's downfall was all because of the Great Heavenly Demon Cultivator. After all, the One-eyed Demon Cultivator has a terrifying history. If One-eyed Demon Cultivator were to progress to the Grand Ascension Stage, perhaps even the Great Heavenly Demon Cultivator would be wary of him. "
"So you're saying that the Great Heavenly Demon Cultivator didn't have any good intentions and wanted to bring Crimson Demon Cultivator into the Spirit Realm. If he were to encounter powerful spirit cultivators and perish on the spot, that would be the best outcome. Even if that doesn't work, it'd still be able to greatly weaken him, right?" Concubine Yan suddenly asked.
"That's pretty much it. In reality, the development of the situation was very moderate," Yi Tian replied. "It's just that there were some unexpected variables."
"Are these unexpected variables referring to your sudden participation in the Spirit Realm invasion?" Concubine Yan asked out of the blue.
Yi Tian gently waved his hand, but he shook his head. "My participation in the Spirit Realm invasion was expected by the Spirit Realm cultivators. Furthermore, I was the only one in the Spirit Realm who had the ability to face off against the One-eyed Demon Cultivator. The unexpected variable I'm talking about is the possession of Crimson Demon Cultivator in the Jade Flower Pavilion. Speaking of which, the situation back then was already beyond the Great Heavenly Demon Dugu Jimo's control. In the end, the Demon Realm army was forced to retreat to the Demon Realm without a leader. "
"It seems like this One-eyed Demon Clan's Scarlet-Eyed Demon didn't plan to put in any effort. As for his father, he knew everything about him. That's why he immediately ran away after taking over his body," said Yan Lei.
"Actually, my coming here is a great opportunity for the Flaming Prison Imperial Court," Yi Tian said with a smile.
"What kind of opportunity?" Yan Lei asked with a serious expression.
"A great opportunity to break free from the control of the Sky Demon Race," Yi Tian calmly said.
"Then what's the plan?" Yan Lei asked.
"The Sky Demon Race is only relying on two Grand Ascension Stage cultivators. Of the two, I know that Demon Saint Bao Chi is troubled by something and won't act easily. Also, the first Holy Emperor of the Asura Race, Luo Qin, should be with him right now," Yi Tian said.
Yan Lei was naturally shocked when he mentioned the name of the first Holy Emperor of the Asura Race, Luo Qin. Everyone in the Upper Spirit Nine Realms knew about him. In terms of strength, he was on par with Demon Saint Bao Chi. If the two of them were together right now, there must be some secret. Furthermore, the two of them were both leaders of a realm, so they naturally wouldn't submit to each other. The relationship between the two of them must be very subtle.
Completely ignoring the two of them, Yi Tian continued, "Actually, I want to let Dutong try to reach the Grand Ascension Stage. That way, I can lessen a lot of the burden. I can let him deal with Great Heavenly Demon Dugu Jimo, and I can focus on Demon Saint Bao Chi and Asura Holy Emperor Luo Qin. "
