Checking In for Sixty Years, From Puppet Emperor to Heavenly Emperor – Chapter 81

Ch 81: Azure Ghost King’s Obsession

Flying all the way, they saw the group of demons walking in the wind and snow, feeling that they would be frozen into ice sculptures sooner or later.

They ignored them and continued to fly forward. When they had passed halfway, they began to see some ice sculptures in the snow, all of which were demons who had been here before.

On the way to the entrance of the fifth level, they couldn’t withstand being frozen here.

Here, magic cannot be used, so it is impossible to fly. Even demons with wings find it difficult to fly because the wind and snow at high altitudes are extremely strong. Without magic to block the wind and snow, it is difficult to fly. Once their strength is exhausted, they are waiting to die.

Flying all the way, seeing more and more frozen demons, the Azure Ghost King became more nervous, afraid of seeing his elder brother.

Fortunately, the Azure Ghost King’s elder brother was not found all the way to the snow peak.

When they arrived here, they saw ice stone giants guarding the teleportation array, with a large number of them scattered all over the mountain.

Zhou An directly released Mystic Ice Divine Light in the high altitude. This time, the power of the Mystic Ice Divine Light was terrifying, the white light swept across, and these ice-attribute stone giants were frozen, stiffening in place.

Zhou An flew directly onto the teleportation array, and then the three of them disappeared in a flash.

The fifth level is a hot desert, without wind, the air is hot and extremely dry.

This extreme environment is aimed at cultivators. If you don’t consider the super-strong gravity pressure, just the heat of the air alone would make it difficult for mortals to live for five minutes.

Arriving here, the Azure Ghost King and the Bamboo Hat Old Demon almost knelt down, the gravity already making it difficult for them to walk.

Zhou An stood, looking at the system panel, and checked in here, rewarding a Flame Soul Demon Pill.

The system prompted that it could increase True Origin cultivation by 800 years and True Energy cultivation by 4800 years. After absorbing it, it would also absorb Demonic Origin, and would immediately Enter Demon.

This time he did not take it immediately. He wanted to refine the Demonic Origin, and needed to use the Yin-Yang Chamber Arts, which could only be done with Hua Wuyue or Shangguan Rong. He didn’t dare to take risks here.

After getting it, he directly took the two of them and flew in one direction.

In the air, they could see eight mirages, which were a ruin. They could clearly see the six-layer teleportation array in the ruin.

It was just difficult to distinguish the direction, but Zhou An’s Ethereal Demon Eye could see through all illusions. This mirage was just a low-level illusion, and he could directly see the real location of the ruin.

However, the temperature here was indeed too high, it was simply a high-temperature dryer. After flying for more than an hour, when they arrived at the location of the ruins, the Azure Ghost King and the Bamboo Hat Old Demon, who were not protected by True Energy, were almost dried out.

Zhou An gave them each a large bucket of water, and the two of them recovered.

The guards at the entrance here were Sand Giants. Zhou An still used one move of Mystic Ice Divine Light to freeze them, easily entering inside.

The Azure Ghost King was very envious of such power, and admired his Master’s abilities from the bottom of his heart, and was already sincerely following him.

The Bamboo Hat Old Demon was the same, it was his nature to be willing to follow a true powerhouse.

The sixth level of the Heavenly Authority Tower is a world of lava blood pools. The sky is blood red, and there are boiling blood pools everywhere below, emitting red steam.

Above the blood pool, there are many stone pillars. You need to step on the stone pillars of varying heights to pass. Some stone pillars are tens of meters apart, or even close to a hundred meters. Coupled with the terrifying gravity here, even Demon Saints and Old Demon Heads would find it difficult to jump over.

On this level, the Azure Ghost King and the Bamboo Hat Old Demon were completely unable to move, and fell to the ground as soon as they appeared.

Zhou An also felt the heaviness of his body. If it weren’t for the blessing of True Origin, he could only barely jump within a range of ten meters with his physical body alone.

He first checked in here and obtained the Sky Devil Book·Six Desires Chapter. This is an ancient Demonic Path skill, divided into the Seven Emotions Chapter and the Six Desires Chapter, a skill to control one’s own emotions and desires and stimulate one’s own potential.

The Six Desires Chapter, comprehending Divine Power from desires, turning anger, hatred, and sadness into entities, refining them into a Sky Devil Blade, and slashing everything in the world.

Comprehending Sky Devil Paradise from greed, appetite, lust, and possessiveness, one can absorb the opponent’s essence in joy, and even absorb the Primordial Spirit, turning it into one’s own use, turning people into dried corpses in joy.

However, these abilities are ineffective against those who are ruthless and desireless, and one must first be able to avoid being confused by emotions and desires, otherwise one will also be swallowed.

This Sky Devil Book is powerful, a power that even true Immortals fear, but it is also extremely dangerous. Those with weak minds will be doomed forever.

Zhou An learned this secret book, evolved it in his mind, and comprehended the Sky Devil Book. He didn’t expect that in ancient times, there was no distinction between gods and demons, and they all regarded themselves as Heavenly Gods.

Because of comprehending the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, it is easy to fall into them and become crazy. If love is too deep, hatred will naturally be deeper. The Six Desires are extremely easy to make people addicted, which is a great test for cultivators.

Therefore, there are too many who have fallen into infatuation because of comprehending the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, and even slaughtered the world because of love, hatred, and grudges. This is why they are called demons by the people of the world, and this is also the origin of demons.

Understanding the true origin of the Demonic Path, Zhou An could only sigh.

From what he had gained from checking in along the way, he increasingly felt that he had made the right choice in entering the Heavenly Authority Tower. Such a place was probably difficult to find in Qian Province, or even the entire continent.

The Azure Ghost King, lying on all fours, said shamefully: “Master, I can’t walk anymore, please leave me here.”

After hesitating, the Bamboo Hat Old Demon sat cross-legged and said: “Immortal, this little demon can’t move either, and has no face to follow anymore, so let us stay here.”

Both of them are top-level existences among the Demon Race and the Ghost Race. After experiencing the world of ice and snow and the scorching desert world, their confidence has been hit, and they are unwilling to be taken out, which is too hurtful to their self-esteem.

Zhou An looked at the two of them and said: “Looking at the surrounding blood energy, these are all transformed from Demonic Energy. This should be the place where the Heavenly Authority Tower refines demons. If you stay here, you will Enter Demon because you inhale too much Demonic Energy, and then be refined here to become a part of the blood pool.”

The two swallowed their saliva. Who is not afraid of the Demon Transformation Pool? Between life and self-esteem, the two struggled in their minds. For people like them, self-esteem is even higher than life.

Zhou An understood what the two were thinking. After contacting the Ten Thousand Demons King and others, he knew that these guys were actually very arrogant in their hearts.

They could still accept being taken out, after all, they also cared about their lives, but being carried like trash was really difficult to let go of their face.

“Your abilities are good. I am now in need of people. After you go out and your strength recovers, you will naturally have opportunities to make contributions.” After saying that, he released the Flying Sword, and True Origin wrapped the two of them and landed on the Flying Sword, taking them away.

The higher up the Heavenly Authority Tower, the smaller the area, but the danger is greater. Flying down this way, they quickly saw the location of the teleportation array ahead.

But just as they approached, suddenly a person who was completely black, with cracks all over his body, and red light emerging from the cracks, appeared and slapped down with his claws.

This person looked seven points similar to the Azure Ghost King, and the pair of horns on his head were longer and larger. His eyes had completely turned crimson red, emitting blood light.

“Elder Brother!” The Azure Ghost King exclaimed, with an excited expression.

Zhou An looked at him, flew down to a stone pillar below, took out a bottle of Elixir and handed it to him, saying: “It can help you restore Ghost Power. Whether you can cut off the obsession in your heart depends on yourself, I can’t do it for you.”

“Thank you, Master.” The Azure Ghost King understood that his elder brother had been completely demonized, had lost consciousness, and had become a fierce demon who only knew how to kill.

If he left, or let the Master kill him, it would become a knot in his heart, which would affect his future cultivation.

He was very grateful to Zhou An for deliberately stopping to give him a chance.

Opening the bottle, he poured it into his mouth, ate one of them, and held all the other Elixir in his mouth. He knew his elder brother’s strength. All his skills were taught by his elder brother. The demonized elder brother only knew how to kill, did not know pain, and would be stronger than before. Moreover, the Demonic Energy here was strong, and his elder brother’s power was endless until he was completely melted away.

The Azure Ghost King’s body burst out with Ghost Power. He hadn’t felt Ghost Power for three thousand years, and it felt strange, but the return of Ghost Power made him feel very refreshed. Looking at his elder brother who was resisting the Void Wheel in front of him, a fighting spirit burned in his eyes.

Azure flames emerged from his body, and even the knife in his hand appeared with an Azure Light.

Zhou An took back the Void Wheel, and the Azure Ghost King disappeared in the blink of an eye. Under this gravity, the speed could still reach the point where it was difficult to see with the naked eye. This Azure Ghost King was really not called that for nothing.

Zhou An was very curious about how strong the Azure Ghost King’s true strength was.

The Bamboo Hat Old Demon next to him was the same, wanting to know the Azure Ghost King’s true strength. Those who could be taken into the Heavenly Authority Tower were definitely at the level of Great Power in the outside world, and should have all passed the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation.
