Chapter 241 Sanskrit City
"In the future, if you encounter any difficulties on the Azure Cloud Continent, just give the order, and I, Cangwu, will do my utmost," Cangwu promised firmly. His voice, like a resounding bell, echoed throughout the mountains and forests.
Lin Shushu and Mo Ze exchanged a smile, sensing Cangwu's sincerity. This unfamiliar yet vibrant Qingyun Continent seemed to gain a touch of warmth and intimacy because of Cangwu's presence.
Unlike the Yan Yang Continent, the Qingyun Continent is home to numerous races. Humans are scattered throughout the continent, but are mainly concentrated in the prosperous towns of the central and eastern parts, where they have established many cultivation sects and mortal kingdoms.
The demon race inhabits the vast forests of the northern part of the continent, which are protected by powerful barriers to prevent outside invasion. The demon race is diverse, and internally divided into different factions.
The demons live in the dark abyss in the southern part of the continent, a harsh environment filled with demonic energy. Demons are warlike by nature and frequently clash with other races.
The dragons live on Dragon Island, located in the endless ocean to the east of the continent. The island is rich in spiritual energy and possesses a natural protective array, making it the dragons' habitat and breeding ground. The dragons are powerful, proud, and rarely participate in the continent's conflicts.
Just as Lin Shushu and Mo Ze were heading towards Dragon Island, an unexpected event occurred. Waves of cultivators appeared in the sky, their expressions hurried, their robes fluttering, and their bodies radiating powerful spiritual energy.
The appearance of these cultivators instantly turned the previously peaceful journey into a tense one. A tense atmosphere filled the air, as if a great battle was about to break out.
Lin Shushu and Mo Ze looked puzzled. What important thing had happened?
Before they could ponder for long, another group of cultivators passed by. One of them, a young cultivator in a blue robe, stopped them, his eyes revealing anxiety and worry.
He grabbed the two of them and said, panting, "Why are you still here? The demons are rampaging again, killing people everywhere. The people of Brahma Sound City are suffering terribly."
"us……"
Before Lin Shushu could say anything, the cultivator continued, "You two are also rogue cultivators, right? Brahma Sound City has issued a recruitment notice, seeking cultivators from all over the world to help fight against the demon race. It is said that there is also a chance to enter the major sects!"
Lin Shushu and Mo Ze weren't interested in joining a sect, but since they had encountered this situation, they couldn't just stand by and do nothing. Besides, it was also an opportunity to learn about the Qingyun Continent.
Lin Shushu discussed with Cangwu in the space through her divine sense that they would go to Dragon Island later. Cangwu naturally had no objection; now that they had returned to Qingyun Continent, there was no rush to go back to Dragon Island.
The two then traveled with the cultivator to Brahma Sound City. After talking, Lin Shushu learned that the cultivator's name was Xie Fan, a rogue cultivator who had worked his way up to the Nascent Soul stage through his own efforts. His biggest dream was to join a major sect.
“Fellow Daoist Xie, we have been in seclusion and only recently emerged. Could you tell us about the Demon Clan invasion?” To avoid appearing out of place, Mo Ze subtly inquired of Xie Fan.
"What else could it be? The demons have never given up on encroaching on human territory. Over the years, they've been provoking us on small scales in various places. However..."
As is well known, the Dark Abyss where demons live is rich in demonic energy but lacks other resources, such as rare spiritual plants and ores. In contrast, the human realm is rich in resources. In order to acquire these resources and enhance their overall strength, demons have long coveted human territory and have repeatedly harassed and invaded it over the years.
Xie Fan's words implied that the Demon Clan's invasion this time was not simple; could there be other reasons?
Sure enough, Xie Fan looked around mysteriously before continuing to speak.
"The reason for the sudden large-scale invasion by the demon race is said to be that a powerful magical artifact is sealed in a mysterious place on the Qingyun Continent. This artifact is of vital importance to the demon race and may be the key to unlocking the seal of the ancient demon god. In order to find and obtain this artifact, the demon race launched an attack, not hesitating to become an enemy of the entire continent."
Lin Shushu and Mo Ze were both somewhat surprised. What kind of magical artifact was so powerful that it could break the seal of the ancient demon god?
"Could that magical artifact be in Brahma City?" Lin Shushu asked curiously.
"No, that's not it. They just want to take over Brahma Sound City to use it as a stronghold for the demons, in preparation for a large-scale invasion in the future," Xie Fan explained.
As they traveled, Lin Shushu talked with Cangwu to learn about the magical artifact.
It turns out that in ancient times, a great war that shook the heavens and moved even the gods to tears took place. A powerful demon god ravaged the Qingyun Continent, causing widespread devastation wherever he went.
To save all living beings, the major powers on the Azure Cloud Continent set aside their past grievances and joined hands to fight against the Demon God. In this arduous and extraordinary battle, the key to victory was the divine artifact, the Brahma Bowl.
With the immense power of the Brahma Bowl, the various forces finally succeeded in sealing the demon god in the abyss of darkness. After the war, to prevent the power of the Brahma Bowl from being misused, it was sealed in an extremely secret place, known to very few.
It now seems that this secret was leaked at some point.
The demons' current actions demonstrate that they are well aware of the terrifying power of the Brahma Bowl, capable of breaking the seal on the Demon God and dominating the continent. In order to free the Demon God and thus gain control of the entire continent, the demons have launched a large-scale attack, searching for the whereabouts of the Brahma Bowl throughout the Azure Cloud Continent.
When the three finally arrived at Brahma Sound City, the sight before them made their hearts tighten. The city was a scene of ruins, with broken walls and rubble. The once tall and sturdy city walls were now riddled with holes, and the flags on the walls were torn to shreds, fluttering helplessly in the wind.
A thick, eerie aura lingered in the streets. The survivors bore wounds, their eyes filled with fear and despair. Children clung tightly to their parents, staring in terror at their surroundings, tears welling in their eyes.
Lin Shushu and Mo Ze had no time for sentimentality and immediately joined the other cultivators in the battle against the demons. In an instant, shouts of battle shook the heavens, demonic attacks clashed with spells, sparks mingling and illuminating the entire battlefield.
The demons were too numerous and fearless, launching wave after wave of attacks on the humans. The battle became fiercely contested, with both sides suffering heavy losses.
Fortunately, cultivators from various places arrived one after another, and after they joined the battle, the situation for the human side improved significantly.
Just when humanity thought victory was assured, a powerful demon leader appeared.
It was enormous, more than two people tall, and its entire body emanated black demonic energy. It held a huge battle axe in its hand, and the ground trembled with every step it took. It roared and charged towards the crowd. Wherever it went, the cultivators were intimidated by its aura and involuntarily retreated.
