The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh-Chapter 91 – Human Emperor City Chronicles
After the three of them exited the Spiritual Power Room, Lisa Chen instructed:
"You two should head to your cabins. After all, you've just joined Human Emperor City and aren't familiar with the exact route to the Lotus Branch."
The two had no objections and were about to leave when Brandon Jiang suddenly thought of something and asked:
"By the way, Fairy Chen, once we enter Human Emperor City, can we still come out?"
Frank Fan also paused at these words, looking curiously at Lisa Chen. He was still hoping to return to the Brotherhood Hall someday. If they couldn't leave once they entered Human Emperor City, it would be troublesome.
Lisa Chen smiled and said:
"Of course you can. As long as you become an emissary like me, you can freely enter and exit Human Emperor City."
Brandon Jiang asked again:
"What are the requirements to become an emissary?"
Lisa Chen patiently explained:
"Emissaries of Human Emperor City bear the responsibility of enlightening the world. They must not only have an extremely firm Daoist Heart but also possess the cultivation to protect themselves in the outside world, which means at least Foundation Establishment."
"Either requirement is still too early for you two newcomers. You'll need to work hard after entering Human Emperor City to become an emissary."
Hearing this, Brandon Jiang frowned and said in a deep voice:
"To be honest, Fairy Chen, although I want to join Human Emperor City, I still need to return to the Heavenly Lotus Sect soon, or my life will be in danger!"
A look of surprise flashed in Lisa Chen's eyes:
"Why is that?"
Brandon Jiang smiled bitterly and said:
"I was poisoned by a Heartbreak Pill from a Foundation Establishment senior sister in the sect. The antidote I have only lasts for four months, and almost a month has already passed."
"If I don't return for the antidote in time, I will die from my mind and spirit shattering!"

"But don't worry, Fairy Chen. I have a certain grasp on detoxifying it. As long as I return to the Heavenly Lotus Sect once more, there's an eighty to ninety percent chance I can completely cure the Heartbreak Pill's poison."
"Heartbreak Pill!"
Lisa Chen frowned:
"That is indeed a big problem. Different alchemists produce different antidotes for the Heartbreak Pill. Even a Golden Elixir Master cannot forcibly detoxify it!"
She looked at Brandon Jiang with some sympathy:
"Living in a demonic sect like the Heavenly Lotus Sect must be tough."
"Don't worry, Human Emperor City will not abandon your life. When you need to return to the Heavenly Lotus Sect, come find me, and I'll take you out!"
Brandon Jiang felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this and quickly thanked her:
"Thank you very much, Fairy Chen."
Lisa Chen waved her hand:
"It's a small matter. If there are no other questions, you two should head to your cabins first."
"Yes."
The two responded in unison and each chose a cabin to enter.
As soon as they entered, the cabin doors were tightly locked, and the walls inside were constructed in a special way, impervious to spiritual power.
However, Brandon Jiang was not worried. Lisa Chen had mentioned earlier that this was to prevent them from discovering the exact location of the Lotus Branch.
Brandon Jiang sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate quietly.
Several days passed in a flash.
It had been a full month since Brandon Jiang left the Heavenly Lotus Sect.
Lisa Chen's flying boat finally slowed down and descended.
"Click—"
With a light sound, the locked cabin door opened.
Brandon Jiang opened his eyes, a look of joy flashing in them.
They had arrived at Human Emperor City!
He pushed open the cabin door and stepped onto the deck, where Lisa Chen and Frank Fan were already present.
He joined them and looked ahead, seeing a magnificent, grand, and splendid city before him!
In the city, Brandon Jiang saw a bustling crowd, mortals and cultivators living in harmony, cultivators tending to vegetable gardens, and others forging weapons in shops.
This was Human Emperor City!
A place where cultivators could cultivate without devouring humans, and mortals could live peacefully under the protection of cultivators.
Brandon Jiang was filled with awe as he looked at the scenes before him. Human Emperor City seemed even better than he had imagined!
Thud—
Beside Brandon Jiang, Frank Fan suddenly knelt down.
With tears streaming down his face, he looked at the city and cried out like a child:
"This is it! This is it! The place I've been searching for my entire life! Why did I only find you now!"
"One hundred and sixty-four years! I've spent one hundred and sixty-four years looking for you!!!"
"Today, I've finally found it! Human Emperor City!!!"
Brandon Jiang looked at Human Emperor City, feeling equally elated, though not as exaggerated as Frank Fan.
He had finally found a normal cultivation force.
Thinking back to his previous life, what a mess it had been!
Lisa Chen patiently waited for the two to calm down before gently saying:
"Alright, follow me inside. I'll give you a proper tour of Human Emperor City."
"Yes!"
The two quickly nodded and followed Lisa Chen off the flying boat.
Setting foot on the land of the Lotus Branch in Human Emperor City, Brandon Jiang immediately felt a difference from the outside world.
"Spiritual energy! I... I think I can feel the spiritual energy."
Both he and Frank Fan were shocked.
Although the spiritual energy in Human Emperor City was much thinner than the spiritual energy they felt after devouring the power and fortune of living people outside, they hadn't used a sacrificial furnace!
Being able to feel the spiritual energy meant they could cultivate!
They could cultivate without killing people!
Even though they had known all this, they couldn't help but feel a strong surge of excitement when they truly sensed the spiritual energy!
Lisa Chen smiled and said:
"The spiritual energy in Human Emperor City is gathered by the Human Dao formation in the city. Anyone with a spiritual root can cultivate here!"
"I'll teach you the unique breathing techniques of Human Emperor City later, which will help you maximize your cultivation speed."
Brandon Jiang and Frank Fan exchanged a glance and nodded excitedly.
When you're just trying to make great content at
.
Lisa Chen led the two through the streets, where everyone greeted her with respect. There was no fear of the strong in their eyes, only genuine respect.
Soon, Brandon Jiang noticed a vegetable garden. The vegetables looked like Chinese cabbage, each one lush and enticing.
What shocked the two even more was that these vegetables emitted a strong spiritual energy!
Lisa Chen introduced:
"These are unique spiritual plants cultivated by Human Emperor City. They contain abundant spiritual energy, not only filling your stomach but also accelerating your cultivation."
Frank Fan was astonished:
"Even eating vegetables can speed up cultivation?!"
Lisa Chen nodded:
"Of course! Not only that, but Human Emperor City has replaced all the practices that required human materials with other methods!"
"For example, in some elixir recipes that required human power and fortune, we've replaced those parts with specially cultivated spiritual herbs. The efficacy of the elixirs is not significantly reduced."
"And the same goes for talisman making, artifact forging, Daoist arts, and so on. You'll experience all of this as you live in Human Emperor City."
The two nodded in amazement and followed Lisa Chen through the streets.
Before long, they arrived at a grand hall. The plaque above the entrance bore four large, elegant characters.
Mortal Shedding Hall!
Entering the solemn hall, they saw a blazing fire at the end.
Brandon Jiang and Frank Fan were puzzled.
"This place is..."
Lisa Chen explained:
"The Mortal Shedding Hall symbolizes shedding the mundane, meaning you completely sever your ties with the outside world."
"You probably have items related to the outside world and human flesh. These mundane items must be burned to completely cleanse the sins you've committed in your cultivation."
Hearing this, Brandon Jiang frowned, suddenly alert, a sense of caution rising in his heart.
It sounded reasonable, but wasn't it just a way to take away all his cultivation resources?!
What was Human Emperor City really up to with this move!
