Floating Immortal Order-Chapter 229: Red Silk Monster General

Chapter 229: Red Silk Monster General

In the Quicksand Earth Territory, there were many demon paradises, but also monster paradises as well. However, there were no human sects, so practically all of the humans that appeared in the Quicksand Earth Territory were rogue cultivators.

Xu Disheng had somehow arrived unknowingly at the gate of Sandsea Paradise.

The man in the lead was a straightforward man. He was descending on a nimbus cloud, brows furrowed as he spoke coldly. “Sandsea Paradise doesn’t welcome humans or demons. Hurry up and leave, otherwise don’t blame us for being discourteous!”

The other people accompanying him also had threatening expressions, as if they were prepared to immediately unleash attacks at him.

The straightforward man, who was at the half-step Monster Core stage, perhaps wouldn’t feel such deep-seated apprehension towards Xu Disheng if it weren’t for the powerful, domineering aura emanating from his body. These Monster Generals would have attacked a long time ago, and they wouldn’t have even bothered exchanging words with him.

Sandsea Paradise was a monster paradise, which consisted not only of several Monster Core stage Monster Generals, but also even Primordial Monster stage Monster Kings. These kinds of existences couldn’t be lightly insulted by a mere Dao Foundation stage cultivator like Xu Disheng.

“Would you happen to know where Ten Thousand Ghosts Mountain is located?” Xu Disheng asked the straightforward man and the other Monster Generals, not showing any signs of hostility.

The difference between the cultivation boundaries was similar for the demon race and human race, for example the Dao Foundation stage and Divine Core stage.

The names for the different cultivation realms for monsters were different from that of the humans and demons. Ordinary Transformation stage monsters were called Monster Generals, which were analogous to the human and demon race Dao Foundation stage. Those at the Monster Core stage were referred to as Great Monster Generals, which were analogous to the human and demon race Divine Core stage.

“Ten Thousand Ghosts Mountain?” the straightforward man repeated, his expression altering slightly. He seemed to know something about this place. “What are you planning to do at Ten Thousand Ghosts Mountain?”

“Where is it?” Xu Disheng asked. Faint black lightning rippled around his body as he released a shocking aura.

When the straightforward man sensed the surging aura erupting from Xu Disheng’s body, some guesses about his status formed in his mind. He wasn’t willing to complicate things further, so he pointed in the direction of the heart of the Quicksand Earth Territory, where the Quicksand Paradise was located. “In Quicksand Paradise, which is ruled by the Quicksand Sea Deity, there is a Divine Palace. The name of this palace is very strange—Ten Thousand Ghosts Mountain.”

Xu Disheng nodded, then left in a beam of light, leaving behind sonic booms in his wake.

“Old Black, this is the gate of our Sandsea Paradise. Why were you so lenient towards that human brat? That’s so unlike you!” 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝘯𝑒𝘵

“Use your eyes a bit, will you? If my guesses aren’t wrong, given that brat’s aura and demeanor, he’s probably from an overlord sect! Inviting disaster upon Sandsea Paradise is the last thing I would want!”

… …

There was a sea deity in the Quicksand Sea who had been appointed as a deity by the will of heaven and earth.

This sea deity wasn’t like the lake deity of Jade Water Lake, Bai Tong, who had been a rank 9 deity. This was a rank 6 deity of heaven and earth, ruling over an entire sea region!

The divine power of a deity, in terms of the human race’s profound qi cultivation, was analogous to the terrifying Clone Avatar stage!

The Quicksand Earth Territory was an aquatic territory. It couldn’t be considered extremely powerful, and it was lacking in comparison to the Shan Mountain Territory. Although there were numerous large-scale sects and large paradises in the Quicksand Earth Territory, there was no overlord sect.

The only organization that could be considered half of an overlord sect was Quicksand Paradise, which had a rank 6 deity. In the entire Quicksand Earth Territory, the Quicksand Deity was the sole Clone Avatar level existence.

Although the Quicksand Deity referred to as a deity, it was really a monster. Even though there were many Monster Kings and Great Monster Generals in Quicksand Paradise stationed to protect the Divine Palace, nothing could change the fact that they were all still monsters.

… …

Xu Disheng turned over the jade slip containing the Water Manipulation Monster Technique in his hands, his brows furrowed lightly.

Monster cultivation methods were usually innate, and only some rare, powerful monster techniques could be acquired through cultivation. It took a full day, but Xu Disheng managed to obtain this Water Manipulation Monster Technique from a water mussel monster. He had used a jade slip to record down the details of the technique.

However, it would be a bit of a stretch if he relied on this exceedingly simple Water Manipulation Monster Technique to fuel the Primordial Canon of Supreme Mystery’s shape-shifting capability.

He gave it a try, but the most it could do was convert his Shangqing profound qi into water elemental energy with a hint of faint monster qi to it. It might work against a Monster General, but a Monster Core stage Great Monster General would immediately be able to discover the human nature of his body.

The moment he finished transforming all of the profound qi in his meridians into monster qi, he sensed a handsome green-clothed man flying toward him from up ahead. When he passed by Xu Disheng, he subconsciously inhaled, taking in the surrounding smells. His brows suddenly furrowed, and he stopped in his tracks. “What subspecies of monster are you?” he asked.

Monsters and demons were distinct races. The demon race stemmed from an ancient, noble bloodline and had special characteristics depending on their subspecies. Any other subspecies of demon race were usually considered outsiders. Take the demon race of the Ancient Nuwa Sect for example, who possessed human upper halves and serpent lower halves.

All living beings in the world knew that after the monster race cultivated to the Transformation stage, they would take on a fully humanoid appearance, making it extremely difficult to distinguish by appearance which subspecies they were originally.

Xu Disheng peered at him and replied, “Water monster.”

The green-clothed man looked even more confused. He shook his head and laughed, “What piddling water monster? If it weren’t for the purity of the monster qi coming from your body, I would have taken you to be a human rogue cultivator.”

“Where are you headed at the moment?”

The green-clothed man responded, “I’m off to pay a visit to Red Silk Monster General, to attend his banquet. What is it to you?”

Xu Disheng waved his sleeve, causing a few dozen spirit stones to appear in front of him. “I’ve always greatly admired Red Silk Monster General. Would you be willing to bring me with you? I hope this small tribute could serve as an expression of my gratitude.”

Spirit stones were an amalgamation of the essence of heaven and earth. Aside from ghosts, who couldn’t use them, they were used by practically every race.

The green-clothed man wavered for a moment. After sensing the frightening aura Xu Disheng possessed, he swept up the spirit stones and tucked them away. “Fine then. I’ll say that you are… my clan brother.”

Xu Disheng’s curiosity was suddenly piqued. “What subspecies of monster are you?”

The green-clothed man’s face stiffened as he replied, “I am a transformation of the sea turtle race.”

“….”

Xu Disheng lifted his gaze slightly and asked, “What cultivation realm is Red Silk Monster General at? Why did he invite you to his banquet?”

“Red Silk Monster General is at the half-step Monster Core stage. His invitation is naturally because…” the green-clothed man’s words trailed off, and his gaze suddenly turned doubtful as he gazed at Xu Disheng. “Didn’t you say that you admired Red Silk Monster General for a long time? But why do you not even know his cultivation realm?”
