63: Section 63
Tu Shan Mingyi carefully examined the text and the pattern drawn on the fragment, which depicted the natural scenery around Azure Sky Peak.
Although the fragment was only palm-sized, every major river was clearly marked. He had no idea how this fragment ended up in Ao Bo's hands.
"Misty Cloud City?"
Tu Shan Mingyi muttered to himself, his face full of doubt: "That's not right. The river flowing down from Azure Sky Peak connects to the Xuan River, which is the territory of the Human Race's Da Kun Dynasty. It shouldn't be Misty Cloud City."
Xiao Bai asked curiously, "Where is Misty Cloud City? This is the first time I've heard of it."
Tu Shan Mingyi then took out the map of Xuan Tian Continent, which contained no information about Misty Cloud City, nor its specific location.
"Old Clan Leader, the information on the fragment isn't fake, is it?"
"It shouldn't be. Legend says Misty Cloud City was the capital of Yu Country, a kingdom established by the Feathered Race, located on the Northwest Frontier of Xuan Tian Continent. It disappeared ten thousand years ago."
"After so many years, it seems to have vanished from the continent, possibly related to the great battle at the Demon Emperors Tomb."
The more Xiao Bai listened, the more confused he became. He had finally obtained this information, but he didn't know what step to take next.
"Can you interpret any more information from this fragment?"
Tu Shan Mingyi shook his head: "Only Misty Cloud City is important information; the rest records the rivers and mountains near Azure Sky Peak."
"You should personally make a trip to the Northwest Frontier. Perhaps you can find the long-lost Misty Cloud City."
"I will leave immediately. Please take care, old man."
After bidding farewell to Tu Shan Mingyi, Xiao Bai decided to head to the Northwest Frontier to search for the legendary Misty Cloud City and investigate the whereabouts of the second fragment.
While he was at it, he would return to Pan Si Mountain to check on his First Wife and the children.
If it weren't for the strength of these children, he couldn't have instantly reached the strength of a Level 3 Demon King, nor would he have been rewarded with the monstrous Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques. Such Spells only existed during the Primordial Era.
For the Demon Cultivators on Xuan Tian Continent, mastering five of these Magical Powers was considered very formidable. They usually relied on skill clashes during fights.
Just as he arrived at Pan Si Mountain, the descendants, led by Xiao Dong, came out to greet him. With hundreds of heads swarming, it was impossible to tell who was who.
"Royal Father, Royal Father!"
The noise was incessant, and the massive cave instantly became lively.
"Be good, children!"
Iris flew over from the air, waving her large hand with the bearing of an Empress.
"Children, step back. Dong Zi, take them outside first. Your mother and Royal Father have things to discuss."
Iris, having given birth, not only maintained her figure but also exuded a more mature charm.
"Husband, you're back."
"Mm..."
The couple embraced. Xiao Bai flipped Iris beneath him, preparing to 'fire the gun.'
"Not right now. I haven't fully recovered."
"Alright!"
The territories of Pan Si Mountain and Black Bull Mountain had been connected. Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei were responsible for guarding that area.
Xiao Bai also prepared to go take a look. After the Black Bull Demon died, over a hundred wives and Concubines were transferred to him, and some little cubs might have already been born.
Xiao Nan had received the news in advance and was already waiting respectfully at the Stockade gate.
"Your child greets Royal Father."
"Ah Nan, dispense with the formalities. Are you used to this place?"
"Yes, this side is pretty good. It's just that the smell of cow dung is too strong; I wasn't used to it at first."
As he spoke, a whiff of cow dung smell assailed them, coming from the Pill Refining Room. After the Black Bull Demon died, the Cow Dung Transformation Pill recipe was preserved.
It provided a platform for advancement for low-level beasts. By casting a wide net, a few individuals with exceptional Aptitude could officially step into Demon Cultivation using the effects of the Transformation Pill.
The Concubines, led by Niu Li, brought over a dozen offspring to see their father, whom they had never met.
"My little bulls, why haven't you paid respects to your Royal Father?"
Xiao Bai looked at these offspring, feeling their appearance was quite unique. Just as he had guessed, these descendants of the Cow Demon were all Ox-headed and Snake-bodied.
"Amazing! They're actually Ox Pythons. Although they don't look large right now, they are full of imposing aura."
There were also some Cow Demons he had previously favored whose Aptitude was mediocre. Even after taking three batches of Transformation Pills, they failed to withstand the test of Demon Cultivation and died suddenly.
Xiao Bai had absolutely no way to deal with this; even if he wanted to help, he couldn't.
Having chosen to take the Cow Dung Transformation Pill, their success ultimately depended on themselves. If Xiao Bai infused Magical Power into them, they would instantly explode and die.
"Ah Nan, these little Ox Pythons are also your younger brothers. Make sure to take good care of them."
"Yes... Please rest assured, Royal Father, I have been teaching them Cultivation Techniques during this time."
"Very good. Keep up the hard work."
After completing the inspection, Xiao Bai was very satisfied with the current situation. It would be perfect if Bai Su and Qing Lin were by his side.
Surrounded by Wives and Concubines, doing it day and night, doing it as soon as he woke up, until his little brother turned purple, surviving in this mountain forest until the end of time.
That night, he asked Niu Li and the Cat-eared Girl Miao Miao to come serve him in bed. Since he had been away, this counted as compensation for them.
When the nearby monsters heard that the Snake King had returned, they rushed to present their beautiful wives or daughters.
Xiao Bai did not disappoint their kindness, selecting those with good figures and appearances to keep.
For those who offered themselves willingly, Xiao Bai consistently Spread Favors Evenly, ensuring they all returned fully satisfied.
"No way, there are still so many queuing outside."
"Damn it, who leaked the matter about the two kun kun?"
Xiao Bai waved his hands repeatedly, his face bitter: "Ah Nan, send those queuing behind to your room."
"Your physique counts as an adult now; you must inherit your Royal Father's style."
Xiao Nan did not refuse, bowing respectfully: "Thank you for the bestowal, Royal Father!"
Chapter 85: The Skill of Drilling Holes is Extraordinary
Xiao Bai also asked Iris about Misty Cloud City but didn't get any clues.
He stayed at Pan Si Mountain and Black Bull Stockade for two days, enjoying himself so much he almost didn't want to leave.
Just as he was about to get up and leave, Xiao Dong rushed over to report: "Royal Father, the Patrol Soldiers caught a large injured bird in the nearby deep mountains."
"Dong Zi, you don't need to bother me with such minor matters."
Xiao Dong said seriously: "That large bird is a bit strange. It's in Bird-Man Form, and its Cultivation doesn't seem low. With my current strength, I can't break through its hard feathers."
"There's such a thing? Bring it over for me to see."
Xiao Dong waved vigorously: "Bring that bird up."
"Yes..."
Two strong Spider Guards escorted the bird-man forward. He kept his head down and was still unconscious.
Xiao Bai had a feeling of déjà vu and walked forward curiously to examine him.
"Why is Mo Peng here?"
"Where did you find him?"
"Reporting to the Snake King, we found him on that Stone Mountain to the west. He was already unconscious when we found him."
Xiao Bai continued to ask: "Did you find any trace of a Fox Demon nearby, one who likes to wear red clothes?"
One of the guards quickly shook his head: "The brothers searched all around the incident location, but found no trace of a Fox Demon."
"You may withdraw. Well done! Go to the Accounting Office to receive your reward."
"Thank you, Great King."
Xiao Dong did not ask unnecessary questions and withdrew with them.
Xiao Bai condensed True Qi in his hands and infused it into the Blue Lightning Demon Peng's body. After giving him a Medicinal Pill to consume, he gradually regained consciousness and slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he saw Xiao Bai, the Blue Lightning Demon Peng was very excited: "Big Brother, why are you here?"
"What happened? You're a Level 4 Demon King, why are you in such a sorry state? Stone Mountain shouldn't have such great power."
Mo Peng touched his stinging buttocks and plopped down on his knees.
"I deserve to die. I failed to protect Sister You You."
"That day, I was taking Sister You You to escape Tu Shan Village. Ao Bo shot an arrow into my butt, and I crashed into Stone Mountain. In my daze, I saw Sister You You seemed to have been taken away by a White-robed Fairy."
"After waking up, I found myself here."
Mo Peng recalled carefully, but couldn't remember what happened afterward, his face full of pain and guilt.
"Forget it. With the Little Fox's intelligence, she should be able to turn misfortune into fortune."
Xiao Bai looked at Mo Peng's bird-man appearance, suddenly recalled the matter of Misty Cloud City, and asked him about the situation.
It turned out that the Blue Lightning Demon Peng also came from Yu Country. During the great battle at the Demon Emperors Tomb, he escaped from the Yu Country Prison.
Later, he was Sealed in Tu Shan Village for nearly ten thousand years. If Xiao Bai hadn't brought him out, he probably would have stayed there for life.
The crash caused him to recall many past events. Since Tu Shan Village was now destroyed, partly due to Xiao Bai, he decided not to pursue the matter further.
"Big Brother, why are you asking about Yu Country?"
"I heard from a friend that Cultivating in Yu Country can lead to rapid improvement. I want to go see for myself."
Mo Peng scoffed: "That place is full of ungrateful fellows. I'll go with Big Brother and slaughter them all."
Xiao Bai did not tell Mo Peng about the Demon Emperors Tomb fragments. This matter needed to be kept secret and not known by too many monsters.
"Do you know where it is?"
"I came from there. How could I not know?"
Xiao Bai looked delighted and chuckled: "Alright, you lead the way! We'll set off immediately."
Mo Peng slowly crouched down and patted his shoulder: "Big Brother, please sit on my back."
