Chapter 381 - 303: Intercepting the True Transmission
Demon Suppression Tower. Find your next read on empire
A realm where the Heaven Patching Sect suppresses malicious demons and disciples who have violated the sect’s laws.
Those who qualify to be locked inside are at least at the Divinity Transformation level; legends say that an ancient demon of the Return to Void realm is suppressed at the bottom of the tower.
Thus, the Demon Suppression Tower is unlike common mortal prisons; the demons imprisoned have enormous strength, and it’s unpredictable when they might break through the restrictions. If they escape, they will surely first slaughter the prison guards to vent their anger, then be suppressed again by the sect’s ancient ancestors.
Zhou Yi wouldn’t dare get anywhere near such a perilous place.
"Thank you, Master, for pleading on your disciple’s behalf."
Zhou Yi asked, puzzled, "Why doesn’t the sect just disperse the souls of those demons and send them to reincarnate, instead of going through the trouble of constructing the Demon Suppression Tower to imprison them?"
"What, do you actually want to visit the Demon Suppression Tower?"
The Iron Crown Immortal glanced at him, noticing that this disciple was different from before: his actions and methods were distinct, yet what he had done saved tens of millions of the human tribe. He pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Are you aware of the Blood Devil Sect?"
"I’ve heard the elder brothers mention it; they say it’s the number one branch of the demonic cults."
When Zhou Yi dined with his fellow disciples, he had heard many secrets of the Dongsheng Divine Continent; most were stories of the Heaven Patching Sect’s ancestors "saving the world."
Legend has it that ten thousand years ago, the Blood Devil Sect produced an astonishingly talented Demon Head. In just a mere thousand years, he achieved the Return to Void level as an immortal, recruiting master demon practitioners from all over to serve under him, causing the demonic path to prosper.
While the Heaven Patching Sect, Buddhism, and other righteous sects were discussing how to restrain the Blood Devil Child, turmoil arose within the demonic cult itself.
The Blood Devil Child gathered the top echelons and performed a Blood Sacrifice on them all, refining three thousand Blood God Children. Then, he slaughtered all the disciples of the Blood Devil Sect, merging the blood and souls of countless living beings into a vast blood sea.
Zhou Yi couldn’t help but lament; the tradition of slaughtering one’s own sect ran deep in the demonic path.
"Cough cough cough!"
The Iron Crown Immortal heard this and coughed violently due to anger; a three-foot golden whip appeared in his hand, glinting with spiritual light, ready to discipline this shameless disciple.
"Junior brother, there’s no need to be so impatient."
A voice approached, and soon beside the Iron Crown Immortal, a purple-robed Daoist appeared, holding a yin-yang fan of two colors, fluttering it like a refined and cultured scholar.
Zhou Yi immediately bowed, "Greetings to the Sect Leader!"
"I’ve long heard my junior brother has taken an intriguing person as a disciple. Seeing you today indeed proves interesting. In just a few decades you’ve stirred up the entire Heavenly Mountain."
The person was the Heaven Patching Sect Leader, Guang Weizi, who wore a warm and courteous demeanor, and said with a smile, "I’ve heard that among the third-generation disciples in the sect, all respect you as the leader. You even have the nickname ’Timely Rain,’ and also call yourself the ’Congratulatory Daoist Lord!’"
Zhou Yi’s mind raced as he struggled to concoct plausible excuses.
Guang Weizi seemed amicable and approachable. However, he was earlier known by the nickname ’smiling face with a cold heart,’ as many demons and spirits suffered in his clutches, unable to live or die.
There’s never a wrong nickname in the world. One moment it’s all smiles, the next, Guang Weizi might be sending Zhou Yi off to the Demon Suppression Tower.
"What ’Timely Rain,’ what ’Congratulatory Daoist Lord’? These are just the kind passings of fellow disciples..."
Zhou Yi reorganized his words, explaining, "What I’ve done is not just to take control of mountains and rivers, nor for a few Wish Power Beads, but also for the countless people of the Dongsheng Divine Continent!"
Guang Weizi’s lips curled into a smile, "Do tell."
"I was once a Loose Cultivator, traveling all around, and I’ve seen many self-proclaimed Mountain Gods and River Lords who are actually disguised demons and spirits."
Zhou Yi continued, "In pursuit of incense offerings and wish power, these demons and spirits cause natural disasters and calamities, forcing people to worship them. Although protected by gods, the people end up with shattered families and a dwindling population..."
Guang Weizi nodded slightly; such matters were not uncommon in the Dongsheng Divine Continent.
"My heart couldn’t bear it, and I swore that once I had the power, I would slay demons and spirits, enshrine kind deities, and ensure the common folk could live peacefully!"
