Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

Chapter 1300 - 560: Divine Communication Demon King (Part 2)

Thinking of this, when Ma Hongtao looked at Lin Xuankong, Zhao Yufei, Lii Xiaolan, Xiaoo Ying’Er, and Little Hu again, his eyes were filled with shock.Lii Xiaolan then looked at Ma Hongtao and asked, "What you said about the Eighth-Layer Realm City Lord Jiang, I can understand. After all, the Great Xia Dynasty is already so powerful, sending someone to guard Great Marsh Prefecture is definitely stronger than the City Lord who was sent more than ten thousand years ago. But what is this Divine Communication Demon King you mentioned? Is it very famous and powerful in Great Marsh Prefecture?"

At this moment, Ma Hongtao had already regarded Lin Xuankong and Lii Xiaolan as beings close to Earth Immortals, even if they were not exactly that. So he dared not speak in the same tone as before, and bowed respectfully when he saw Lii Xiaolan asking.

"The Divine Communication Demon King is extremely famous throughout Great Marsh Prefecture and even the entire Great Xia Dynasty!

It’s said that more than ten thousand years ago, it was just an ordinary old willow tree in Great Marsh Prefecture, nearly withered. Later, it encountered a person of exceptional talent, who has reputedly become an unspeakable top existence within the Immortal Realm! Before leaving Great Marsh Prefecture, this top character in the Immortal Realm enlightened the Divine Communication Demon King, granting it a sliver of intelligence and thus the opportunity for cultivation!

After more than ten thousand years, this Divine Communication Demon King has become the only demon king in the entire Great Xia Dynasty with power comparable to an Earth Immortal!

Over the span of ten thousand years, Great Marsh Prefecture has thrived, second only to Kyoto within the Great Xia Dynasty, thanks to this Divine Communication Demon King’s protection. Countless cultivators from other countries visiting the Great Xia Dynasty come to Great Marsh Prefecture to pay their respects to this Divine Communication Demon King before heading to Kyoto. Even demon race cultivators from the mountain ranges near Boundaryless Mountain, when they awaken intelligence and embark on their cultivation path, come to Great Marsh Prefecture, endeavoring to meet this Divine Communication Demon King in hopes of obtaining guidance!

I ran away from home today to come here because of the Divine Communication Demon King!

I heard an envoy from Rakshasa Kingdom arrived in Great Marsh Prefecture to visit the Divine Communication Demon King with City Lord Jiang. Cultivators and demon race practitioners from all around Great Marsh Prefecture have gathered upon hearing this news, hoping to glimpse the true form of this Divine Communication Demon King. If they could listen to its teachings on the path of cultivation, it would be a lifelong benefit for any cultivator!

It seems you all are here because the Divine Communication Demon King is teaching today as well!"

Young Lady Lii Xiaolan couldn’t help but laugh aloud after hearing Ma Hongtao’s words.

She turned to Lin Xuankong and laughed, "Who would have thought that after so many years, I could still see that old willow tree. I thought on this visit back to Great Marsh Prefecture, I could only taste the leek pancakes while watching over Sister Huang’s descendants from the Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone Secret Realm! Unexpectedly, I get to meet an old acquaintance!"

Lin Xuankong smiled upon hearing Ma Hongtao’s recount.

When he left Great Marsh Prefecture back then, he never expected the old willow tree he once enlightened could achieve such a high realm!

Then, with a thought, his powerful Divine Soul swept over the enormous Great Marsh Prefecture. He then looked toward the southwest and spoke with a smile:

"Time flies, yet more than ten thousand years later, the chance to meet an old acquaintance is indeed a pleasant surprise. Since that’s the case, let’s all go and see how well this old acquaintance, the Divine Communication Demon King, can teach cultivation!"

"Hahaha, I hope this famous Divine Communication Demon King won’t embarrass Immortal Lin!" Young Lady Lii Xiaolan said playfully and was the first to head southwest.

Everyone made their way southwest, finding that along the wide streets, cultivators with vigorous qi blood, both human and demon, were heading in the same direction, obviously aiming to hear the Divine Communication Demon King Old Willow Tree teaching about the path of cultivation!

As they proceeded, the crowd of cultivators grew denser, and as they neared the vicinity of Lin Xuankong’s former residence, people and demons were packed tightly, leaving no space to squeeze through! The rooftops and eaves of tall buildings were also filled with practitioners skilled in lightweight techniques!

Scanning over the street, there were at least thirty to forty thousand human and demon race Transcendence Realm cultivators gathered.

At this time, Ma Hongtao, who was following near Lin Xuankong, had an odd expression, his heart fluttering.

Just now Lin Xuankong and the others’ conversation had stirred waves within Ma Hongtao’s heart... After all, in legends, the Divine Communication Demon King itself was enlightened by a prominent figure named Lin Xuankong more than ten thousand years ago, which led to its birth of intelligence embarking on the cultivation path! Yet just now, they repeatedly called Lin Xuankong ’Xuankong’...

I, Ma Hongtao, must have been blind earlier; I threatened these people, who are not only Immortals from the Immortal Realm but likely one of them is the top character from the Immortal Realm who enlightened the Divine Communication Demon King...

But then, with a turn in thought, Ma Hongtao’s heart was filled with a wild hope.

He thought silently: After ten years of arduous cultivation, his family cultivation technique was too esoteric and difficult to practice, which prevented him from breaking through to the Fourth Layer Realm. If things continued, he’d likely never become a true master before his qi blood declined in his forties! But if what he overheard was true, these individuals standing before him were definitely his greatest opportunity in life!

Especially since he had threatened them earlier, claiming Great Marsh Prefecture was not a place for them to act recklessly, yet they seemed unperturbed... Perhaps these Immortals are not only unimaginably powerful but also possess pure and kind dispositions! If he could establish any connection or receive guidance, he would certainly achieve great success...

Second Lady Zhao Yufei frowned at the blocked road ahead. Glancing around, she spotted a small path within the crowd, guarded by cultivators in the Great Xia Dynasty government official attire.

These officials, whose strength varied between Second and Fourth Layer Transcendence, including those in First and Second Layer, were clearly respected and revered by the crowded human and demon race cultivators gathered around, none daring to intrude on the path guarded by them.

Zhao Yufei raised her eyebrow and said:

"Let’s go this way! After more than ten thousand years, the officials of Great Marsh Prefecture have become far more imposing!

I remember the last time I came to Great Marsh Prefecture, the officials were very respectful to powerful cultivators!"

With that, Zhao Yufei led the way forward, followed by Lin Xuankong, Lii Xiaolan, and the others. After a few moments of contemplation, Ma Hongtao bit his lip, stomped his foot, and followed them.

What gave Ma Hongtao a complex expression was

He had expected that upon following Lin Xuankong and the others to the official path, they would be stopped and questioned, since today was the Divine Communication Demon King’s day to teach the Rakshasa Kingdom envoy, and this path was clearly meant for the envoy and City Lord Jiang. How could it allow others to pass freely?

Yet Ma Hongtao saw Lin Xuankong’s group calmly proceeding down the path guarded by officials toward the Divine Communication Demon King’s residence, and none of those officials seemed to notice them, as if they were completely invisible!
