Chapter Seventeen: The Will of Gods and Devils

  "Heavenly Treasure"

  A place of perfect bliss

  "Strange Stories"

  "The Hundred Beasts' Directory"

  "Famous Mountains and Great Rivers"

  "Top 10 Forbidden Places"

  “……”

  Xiao Chen felt that a magnificent world had opened its doors to him, and for the time being, he suppressed his curiosity about the characteristics of various sects, instead continuing to browse the directory. Xiao Chen possessed an extraordinary ability to comprehend and remember, able to memorize everything at a glance.

  Hundreds and thousands of catalogues made Xiao Chen's eyes wide with wonder, but he had no idea who the author or editor of this book was. However, Xiao Chen thought to himself that whoever could compile the geography of the entire Divine Demon Continent, the heavenly treasures, the beast spectrum... must have astonishing abilities.

  This book thoroughly explains the entire Demon God Continent, including various genius treasures, equipment refining materials, pill refining materials, the four major continents and numerous sects, righteous and evil paths, forbidden lands on the continent, islands in the ocean, existing blessed places, ancient legends, strange tales, and more...

  "This book is well-written, you'd better study it yourself, and save Miss Ben from having to explain it to you." The voice of Ye Liu Xing echoed in Xiao Chen's mind.

  Xiao Chen heard this and raised an eyebrow, asking: "Ye Liu Xing sister, have you been to all the places written in this book?"

  "Jokes, on this God Demon Continent, there's nothing I don't know. Those ten major forbidden lands, even the young lady has gone through them one by one, creating a 'cave'. Thinking back to when the young lady traveled the God Demon Continent... forget it, past events have passed, you go read your book." Ye Liu Xing was majestic and heroic, but in the end, he became dispirited again, unwilling to speak more, and directly fell silent.

  "Night Flowing Star sister must be a person with stories." Xiao Chen thought to himself.

  But Xiao Chen didn't think much about it. Since Ye Liu Xing didn't want to say, he couldn't ask either. For the time being, he continued reading "Shen Mo Zhi".

  "I'll take a look at the number one ranked Changsheng Sect in Nanbanzhou."

  Xiao Chen's heart and soul merged into the jade slip, and he immediately found the information about the Longevity Sect.

  Changsheng Sect is located on the White Rainbow Suspended Mountain, and the sect leader Changkong Li is a person who has realized himself, reached the True Mirror Nine Heavens, and is just one step away from entering the Broken Mirror.

  The majestic Xuan Kong Mountain covers an area of tens of millions of square meters, with hundreds of thousands of disciples within the mountain who comprehend the way to longevity. It is the most flourishing and orthodox sect in the Southern Continent.

  It is precisely because of the powerful existence of Changsheng Jiao that it can suppress the Absolute Killing Demon Sect, making the first great demon gate of Nan Chanbu Continent dare not to act rashly. Otherwise, Nan Chanbu Continent would have been the world of the Absolute Killing Demon Sect long ago.

  "Ten Thousand Flower Valley?" Xiao Chen's gaze swept over, and he immediately noticed the last sect in line, feeling that it was interesting.

  The reason is that this sect consists entirely of women, who are skilled in the art of alchemy and medicine. The leader, Hua Man Tang, is a woman scorned by love, with hatred filling her heart, seeking to kill all unfaithful men under heaven. This sect is also the most lustful, often luring men into the valley with their female disciples, where they are drained of their vitality, then castrated and used as laborers, only to be killed when they are no longer needed.

  "This sect is really scary, all the women in this sect are female demons! It can be completely classified as one of the top ten forbidden places, no! It's a forbidden place for men!"

  Xiao Chen felt a chill run down his pants after reading the message.

  Next, Xiao Chen didn't have much time to learn about the other major sects. His focus was still on the Yunwu Sword Sect, after all, he was a disciple of the Yunwu Sword Sect.

  Having understood the hierarchy of Ichimonji Sword Sect, the fierce relationships, struggles and factions, that's when one can navigate through these gaps with ease.

  Xiao Chen took one look and felt that the situation was becoming increasingly uncontrollable. He felt that the Out Cloud Sword Sect's waters were also very deep. Although there wasn't a detailed description of the relationships between the different factions within the sect in this book, the six powers of the One Institute, Two Departments, and Three Halls, plus the authority held by the Sect Master, meant that there were seven forces at play within the Out Cloud Sword Sect.

  One court is the Council of Elders, which is the power behind the back of the Pope, and the two departments are the Department of Impeachment and the Department of Foreign Affairs. The former has the right to impeach the Pope, while the latter is also a department that deals with other sects, and its strength should not be underestimated.

  The three halls are the Tianxing Hall, the Sword Casting Hall, and the Jisheng Hall, which respectively correspond to the execution of religious laws, the forging of magical treasures, and the refining of elixirs. All three are the core driving force of the sect, and none can be missing!

  "This sect is just like a country, it seems that the leader does not have absolute power." Xiao Chen looked at it for a moment, and roughly understood the distribution of power in the Yunjian Sword Sect. He secretly sighed.

  Then Xiao Chen looked at the top 10 forbidden places, famous mountains and rivers, heavenly treasures and so on. He roughly glanced at them for a few moments, and this glance lasted until late in the evening. Only then did Xiao Chen withdraw from the vast and mysterious world of "Shenmo Zhuan".

  Xiao Chen withdrew after staring for half a day, shaking his head. After looking for more than half a day, Xiao Chen also felt that his divine soul was somewhat fatigued.

  "Go out and take a walk, relax your mind." Xiao Chen thought to himself.

  In the late afternoon, the red sun sets in the west, setting half of the western sky ablaze with a fiery glow. The Flying Cloud Pavilion is bathed in a layer of golden light, while the bamboo forest, artificial hills and streams all reflect a soft golden-red hue. Walking along the winding paths of the pavilion, one feels an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

  "Huh?" Walking on the green bamboo path, strolling casually and relaxing his mind, Xiao Chen suddenly furrowed his brow, and from far away, he heard angry screams and the noise of a crowd.

  "What's going on? Let's go take a look." Xiao Chen was curious and quickened his pace as he walked over...

  "Yue Ling, you see how tall and powerful I am, with an extraordinary appearance and unfathomable cultivation. And within the sect, I have a strong backer. As long as you follow me, I guarantee that you'll live a life of luxury and no one will dare to bully you in the outer sect!"

  "Yue Ling, as long as you follow Brother Zhong, who will dare to provoke you in the future? Don't be mistaken! After passing this village, there won't be such a shop!" Li Shixiong's lackeys echoed in agreement.

  "Not bad, with our Zhong Shixiong's strength, whoever he takes a fancy to is the lucky one. Yue Ling Shimei, don't you know what's good for you!"

  Yue Ling was the flower of Fei Yun Bie Yuan, she had a slender figure, good skin, big eyes and a very sexy body, with a prominent front and back, many outer door disciples were infatuated with her.

  However, Yue Ling was extremely disgusted with this Zhong Shixiong because although he was tall and handsome, his cultivation was also very high, but he was a sex addict, having affairs left and right, and four out of ten female disciples outside the sect had been tainted by him.

  However, Brother Zhong's younger cousin is a genius and an inner disciple of the martial arts school. Moreover, those female disciples who were harmed by Brother Zhong were all willing participants seeking benefits, so they didn't make this matter known to the higher-ups of the sect.

  However, Yue Ling was not that kind of weakling. Although he wasn't a martial artist, his cultivation was also quite good and wasn't much worse than Zhong Shixiong's. He had already reached the fifth layer of the Condensing Spirit stage.

  At this moment, looking at the four dog legs surrounding her, she coldly smiled and said: "Zhong Chongshan, you'd better not come to harm me, I'm not afraid of your tricks!"

  Zhong Chongshan's face changed, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and then he forced a smile, offering his pale face to Yue Ling, saying: "As long as you take the initiative to kiss me once, I'll let you go."

  Zhong Chongshan's lips curled up high, like a chrysanthemum blooming, as he leaned in towards Yue Ling's pale face. Yue Ling's expression twisted instantly, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and a thick disgust appeared in her eyes.

  "Go die!" Yue Ling was disgusted and wanted to vomit, she suddenly shouted loudly, lifted one foot and kicked Zhong Chongshan's crotch.

  This kick was so sudden that Zhong Chongshan didn't even think of it, and he was kicked straight up. The four disciples surrounding Yue Ling were also shocked, and they quickly went to help Zhong Chongshan up. Yue Ling took advantage of the situation and escaped immediately.

  "Stop her!" Zhong Chongshan roared at the four henchmen beside him, gritting his teeth against the intense pain in his groin.

  Splash!

  Yue Lingxiu was not ordinary, his footsteps were swift as flight, those four dog legs couldn't catch up at all.

  Just then, Xiao Chen happened to hear the commotion from this side and quickly walked over.

  Bang!

  Just as Xiao Chen walked to the corner of the small road, Yue Ling also happened to escape here. Due to the bamboo forest blocking the corner, neither of them noticed that there was someone on this side. With one escaping and the other coming out of curiosity, neither of them slowed down, and they crashed into each other, falling to the ground with a thud.

  Delayed like this, Zhong Chongshan's four dog legs also caught up and surrounded Yue Ling, saying with ill intentions: "Sister Yue Ling, where are you in such a hurry to go?"

  "Yue Ling's sister, the woman who caught Zhong Shixiong's eye, has never escaped!"

  Four disciples surrounded Yue Ling, speaking in a gloomy and weird tone, with strange smiles one after another.

  Yue Ling glared angrily at Xiao Chen and then said, "You dare to move me? I'll report it to the elder and you will definitely be expelled from the mountain!"

  "You're a despicable person! You won't be able to go anywhere today!" However, at this moment, Zhong Chongshan finally walked over slowly, with big drops of sweat on his forehead. Obviously, Yue Ling's kick was not light, causing Zhong Shixiong's face to contort in anger and start cursing.

  Yue Ling's face was shrouded in a layer of frost: "Zhong Chongshan, you can give up! I'm telling you, I don't think highly of you, and I won't kiss you. Whoever I kiss, it won't be you!"

  "Who dares to be intimate with me?" Zhong Chongshan sneered coldly upon hearing this: "I'd like to see who has the guts to steal my woman."

  However, at this moment, Xiao Chen happened to rub his forehead and stood up from the ground.

  Xiao Chen was originally knocked to the ground and no one paid attention, but at this moment Xiao Chen stood up at this critical juncture and immediately became the focus.

  Xiao Chen's appearance is not stunningly handsome, but he has a clean and elegant face, and can be considered a good-looking guy.

  Yue Ling was in a fit of rage at this moment, and with the next move, she directly flew into Xiao Chen's arms. Those fiery red lips were pressed against Xiao Chen's face before he could even react.

  A touch of red lips, fierce flames like fire, fragrant and refreshing.

  Whether in past life or this life, Xiao Chen was the first time to hold her warm and fragrant body, and imprint her red lips on his face.

  All of a sudden, Xiao Chen felt as if he had been electrocuted, without that kind of intoxicating feeling, but instead his whole body was numb, all the way to his scalp.

  His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as Xiao Chen thought to himself: "Is this really a movie shoot?"

  Yue Ling's red lips fiercely kissed Xiao Chen's face, and the unique girl's breath blew into Xiao Chen's ears, causing Xiao Chen's blood to surge instantly.

  Her red lips left Xiao Chen's face, perhaps because of using too much force, and playfully bounced a few times.
