Chapter 294 Demon Realm
The Demon-Subduing Tower has eighteen levels, where the Jade Emperor Sect imprisons all the vicious demons and heretics captured over the years. The Jade Emperor Sect's experts have used their great supernatural powers to suppress them within the tower.
Lin Fei had spent three years in the Demon-Subduing Tower, where he met his uncle Yuan Wu, who had been a great help to him. He even learned his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill in the Demon-Subduing Tower.
Even though Lin Fei stayed here for three years, he never reached the top floor of this eighteen-story Demon-Subduing Tower.
Even Yuan Wu, who was originally in charge of guarding the Demon-Subduing Tower, didn't seem to come to the top floor easily, and he never allowed anyone to go there. Therefore, Lin Fei never knew what kind of terrifying demons and monsters were imprisoned in the Demon-Subduing Tower on the top floor.
Now, under the guidance of the Jade Emperor and the Immortal Yongcheng, they have reached the top floor of the Demon-Subduing Tower—the eighteenth floor.
As Master Yongcheng led Lin Fei up the tower, he said to Lin Fei, "I'm giving you a chance to rescue your master and uncle. First, because of your filial piety. Second, there's something I hope you can help me with."
Lin Fei naturally knew that Master Yongcheng would not help him for no reason. If he wanted to get this opportunity, he would have to pay a corresponding price.
As for Lin Fei, he was willing to bear any cost as long as he could rescue his master and uncle from under the Demon-Subduing Tower.
Without a second thought, Lin Fei replied, "Please speak, Master. Whatever the conditions, this disciple will agree."
Master Yongcheng smiled and said, "It's not a difficult matter. I'm not the kind of person who would take advantage of someone in distress. It shouldn't be difficult for you."
Lin Fei waited for Master Yongcheng to continue, but Master Yongcheng waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about that now. If you can come out alive, I will tell you the conditions. Let me remind you again, the eighteen levels of the Demon Subduing Tower are full of killing intent. Even those at the third level of the Dharma Aspect Realm may not be able to come out alive. Do you really want to go up?"
Lin Fei nodded heavily: "This disciple must go up!"
"Alright!" Master Yongcheng sighed. "If you can come out alive, I will take the liberty of pardoning your master and uncles' sins. As for you, if you wish to return to the sect, you can do so at any time."
As they spoke, the three of them had already reached the eighteenth floor of the Demon-Subduing Tower, which was also the top floor of the tower.
……
Contrary to Lin Fei's expectations, there were no demons or monsters imprisoned on the eighteenth floor of the Demon-Subduing Tower. In fact, not a single ghost could be seen on the eighteenth floor.
At the very top of the Demon-Subduing Tower, unlike the other floors (which Lin Fei had visited before), each floor held demons, monsters, and heretics captured by the Jade Emperor Sect over the years. Moreover, the higher one went, the more powerful the imprisoned individuals became.
However, the top floor of the Demon-Subduing Tower is different. In the very center of the entire eighteen floors stands a massive stone tablet, upon which are engraved the two large characters "Slay Demons." More than ten iron chains, each as thick as an arm, are wrapped around the tablet, connecting it to the very top of the Demon-Subduing Tower.
It seemed that these dozen or so iron chains were specifically used to lock up this stone tablet. The entire eighteenth level of the Demon-Subduing Tower was deserted; not only was there not a single person in sight, but even Yuan Yi and Yuan Wu, who were imprisoned and tortured there, were nowhere to be seen. Lin Fei couldn't help but wonder—could it be that the eighteenth level of the Demon-Subduing Tower was actually where this enormous stone tablet was imprisoned?
Du Qingmu, standing to the side, let out a soft exclamation and looked at the huge stone tablet in the center of the Demon-Subduing Tower, saying, "Could this stone tablet be something left over from ancient times?"
As the saying goes, the layman sees the spectacle, while the expert sees the details. Although Lin Fei has now reached the Dharma Aspect realm, when it comes to insight, he is far inferior to these ancient relics at the Celestial Master level.
Lin Fei didn't notice anything wrong with the stone tablet, but Du Qingmu saw it at a glance.
"Brother Du, you have a keen eye indeed!" Master Yongcheng nodded and said, "This stone tablet is a treasure left over from ancient times. Its interior forms a small universe of its own, and even within the Jade Emperor Sect, very few people know about it. Apart from the successive sect leaders, only the elders responsible for guarding the Demon Subduing Tower know of the existence of this stone tablet."
No wonder even Lin Fei, who stayed inside the Demon-Subduing Tower for three years, didn't know that such a stone tablet existed on the top floor of the tower. This stone tablet was a secret even to the Jade Emperor Sect; not many people knew about it.
What Master Yongcheng said next was even more astonishing: "According to the successive leaders of my Jade Emperor Sect, the two characters 'Dangmo' on this stone tablet were written by the True Martial Demon-Slaying Emperor himself in ancient times."
"What? It's actually the True Martial Demon-Slaying Emperor?" Lin Fei was shocked.
Who is the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor? He is a legendary figure who can be compared with the Heavenly Emperor of the ancient Heavenly Court. In terms of cultivation, he is even above the Three Ancient Sovereigns whom Lin Fei once met.
Ever since he saw the Three Sovereigns at the Three Sovereigns Ruins, Lin Fei had a premonition that those ancient gods might not have truly disappeared from the world.
Ancient events are shrouded in mystery. The deaths of the Three Sovereigns seem to have involved the ancient Buddhist sect, and there appears to be much entanglement between the ancient Heavenly Court and the ancient demon race, not to mention the ancient Kunlun, the direct descendants of the Three Pure Ones.
The ancient times are far removed from the present. Unless one witnesses them firsthand, no one would know what exactly happened in those ancient times when the gods fell. And now, in the Jade Emperor Sect, one of the four great Daoist sects, a stone tablet has appeared, inscribed by the ancient True Martial Demon-Slaying Emperor himself.
Lin Fei had a vague feeling that things might not be so simple. Perhaps it was related to the ancient celestial court ruins that he was so eager to find.
"The small world inside the stone tablet is called the 'Demon Realm'." Master Yongcheng continued, "Since ancient times, evil spirits have been suppressed in this small world inside the stone tablet. The evil spirits and demons captured by my Jade Emperor Sect throughout the ages, if they are extremely wicked, have also been imprisoned in this small world inside the stone tablet. Now your master and uncle are being tortured in this small world inside the stone tablet."
As they spoke, a faint halo appeared on Master Yongcheng's hand.
Master Yongcheng reached out and gently pried open a chain on the stone tablet. In an instant, a beam of black light emerged from the stone tablet.
Along with the surge of black light came a bloody and foul stench. Lin Fei felt a surge of unease, as if an uncontrollable killing intent was welling up within him.
