Demon Gate Player

Chapter 35: Divine Firmament Lightning Ship

The Void Abyss Continent stretches 330,000 miles from north to south and 190,000 miles from east to west.

With its vast mountains, rivers, lakes, and forests, this expansive land is impossible for mortals to explore in their lifetime.

Hundreds of mortal kingdoms stand on this continent, witnessing the rise and fall of dynasties and the changes of the world.

Only the nine great immortal sects have stood tall for countless ages.

The five sects of the Profound Gate: Azure Cloud Mountain, Cloud Heaven Sect, Ten Thousand Flower Valley, Hundred Refinements Sect, and Earth Treasury Temple.

The four sects of the Demon Gate: Blood Demon Sect, Sword Demon Sect, Netherworld Demon Sect, and White Bone Demon Sect.

There are also hundreds of smaller sects, aristocratic families, and independent cultivator forces.

In the past five years, two earth-shattering events have occurred in the cultivation world of the Void Abyss Continent!

First, five years ago, the five sects of the Profound Gate dispatched seven Gold Core cultivators, carrying the Hundred Refinements Sect's treasured Grotto-Heaven Divine Sand and Azure Cloud Mountain's grand formation, the Micro Dust Formation, to launch a surprise attack on the Heavenly Demon Pill Banquet!

In this battle, four Gold Core experts from the Demon Gate perished, along with hundreds of Dao Foundation and Qi Nourishing stage cultivators. The Demon Gate suffered a great loss of vitality.

Second, two years ago, the White Bone Demon Sect issued a proclamation to the world, announcing the promotion of their new Gold Core cultivator, Pang Yue, to become the sect's nineteenth generation sect master.

She became the wife of the White Bone Demon Sect's previous sect master.

The White Bone Demon Sect originally had three Gold Core cultivators, but one was killed by the Profound Gate's formation during the Heavenly Demon Pill Banquet, and another one was later added. They still have three Gold Core cultivators.

The other three Great Demon sects did not have such good fortune.

Furthermore, it is rumored that the new sect master of the White Bone Demon Sect possesses a Rank Five Law Treasure, which is incredibly powerful and allowed her to easily defeat the previous sect master of the Demon Gate and seize power.

The White Bone Demon Sect has faintly become the number one sect in the Demon Gate.

The name of the Seven Kills Demon Lord, Pang Yue, has spread throughout the world.

There are also rumors that the Seven Kills Demon Lord was originally a disciple of the Cloud Heaven Sect and was sent undercover to the White Bone Demon Sect on the orders of her master.

Unexpectedly, after the Heavenly Demon Pill Banquet, she did not return to the Profound Gate... The once brilliant prodigy of the Profound Gate has transformed into the sect master of the Demon Gate.

It is strange that both the Cloud Heaven Sect and the White Bone Demon Sect have remained silent about this matter.

The truth is elusive and difficult to guess.

Various versions of the story have emerged and spread widely.

There is also a rumor that the number one beauty of the righteous sects, Gao Yan, has become the wife of the Seven Kills Demon Lord.

On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the White Bone Demon Sect held a Gold Core ceremony to celebrate the cultivation of Gao Yan, the sect master's wife, to the Gold Core stage.

They now have four Gold Core cultivators.

In just five years, the strength of the White Bone Demon Sect has grown, second only to the number one sect of the Profound Gate, Azure Cloud Mountain.

...

In the southern part of the Void Abyss Continent, near the endless sea coastline, stands an immensely huge palace in the void.

This palace is made entirely of white bones, shining with a radiant and mysterious light under the sun.

This palace is called the White Bone Dao Palace, the Law Treasure of the founder of the White Bone Demon Sect.

Before the White Bone Demon Lord's death, this treasure was already a Rank Three Law Treasure.

After being refined by generations of Gold Core experts from the White Bone Demon Sect, it has broken through its limitations and become a Rank Four Law Treasure.

Inside the Dao Palace, there is a world of its own, the ancestral land of the White Bone Demon Sect.

On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, in front of the White Bone Demon Palace, thirty-two lotus leaves appeared out of thin air.

Each lotus leaf has a radius of ten miles and is arranged in two rows in front of the palace.

There are elegant seats and tables on the lotus leaves, filled with delicious spiritual food for the guests to enjoy.

Outside the lotus leaves, a white bone bridge suppresses the void. Many disciples of the Demon Gate, dressed in luxurious clothes, stand at the bridgehead to welcome the guests.

From time to time, streaks of light fly across the sky.

Many cultivators from the Void Abyss Continent fly to the White Bone Bridge, slowly descending and presenting gifts, then being guided inside by the disciples of the Demon Gate.

The three Great Demon sects, various cultivation families, independent cultivators, and overseas Monster Cultivators come one after another.

Every time a guest presents a gift, the disciples of the White Bone Demon Sect bow respectfully.

Blood Jade Coral.

Flying Night Pearl.

Purple Extreme Gold Core.

Supreme Grade Law Weapon.

Crane Spirit Beast.

Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Various names of dazzling treasures spread through the air, causing bursts of astonishment.

...

Deep within the White Bone Dao Palace, on a cloud-shrouded immortal mountain, there is a magnificent and luxurious palace complex.

In a quiet room of one of the palaces.

Pang Yue sits cross-legged on the ground, with a shrunken white bone bridge floating in front of her. Countless runes and restrictions shuttle around, integrated into the bridge by her refinement.

The Netherworld Bridge.

The Seven Kills Sword is her Law Treasure, which first broke through to Rank One.

In recent years, she has refined the Netherworld Bridge and finally broke through the limitations of a Law Weapon, becoming a Law Treasure.

When she left the Nine Netherworld River, Pang Yue killed countless demons and collected a large number of bones, including the remains of Gold Core level demons.

After more than two years of refinement, she finally succeeded.

On his finger, there was also a bone ring shining with a strange light, which was also a Law Treasure.

The Ring of Dark Abyssal Fire.

After returning from the Gobi, he not only consolidated his Gold Core cultivation, but also used his position as the sect leader and resources to refine two Rank One Law Treasures!

Now his strength is immeasurable.

Even Pang Yue herself doesn't know how powerful he is now.

Heavenly Book of Separation and Regret.

Now this magic treasure has been completely refined by him.

He used the Heavenly Book of Separation and Regret to refine Gao Yan's body, who had exceptional talent and profound foundation, and easily broke through the Gold Core.

Xiong Ying was slightly inferior and is still at the ninth level of Dao Foundation...

Gao Yan carries the supreme inheritance of Azure Cloud Mountain - the Divine Thunder Technique.

After breaking through the Gold Core, her cultivation and spells are most effective against demonic cultivators.

In addition, Pang Yue intentionally guided her in her martial arts skills, and they often sparred. Gao Yan's combat experience has greatly increased, and her true strength is remarkable.

Pang Yue slowly stopped and put away the Naihe Bridge.

He turned his head and looked north, as if his gaze penetrated through layers of space and saw something.

"Sure enough, they've come."

He sneered and said to himself, "Good, let's settle old and new accounts together!"

...

The melodious sound of nine bells echoed through the sky.

The auspicious time has come.

The Gold Core ceremony officially begins.

Before the Demon Palace, the thirty-two lotus leaves were filled with cultivators.

In front of the Demon Palace, a white jade platform rose.

The ceremony was presided over by Elder Shen Lun of the White Bone Demon Sect's Gold Core.

Among the four Gold Cores in the sect, his position was the lowest.

Not to mention the sect leader, the Seven-Killing Demon Lord.

The other two Gold Cores were either the former sect leader or the current sect leader's wife...

So he was the one who had to do the work.

Shen Lun wore a white robe, with an immortal demeanor and a gentle and pleasant voice, making people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

First, he led a group of disciples to pay homage to the past sect leaders and elders of the White Bone Demon Sect.

Then, he gave a long speech, telling the guests about the long history and inheritance of the White Bone Demon Sect.

Finally, he invited today's protagonist, Gao Yan, out.

Gao Yan wore a gorgeous white phoenix-patterned long dress, with a noble and elegant temperament and an extremely beautiful appearance. As soon as she appeared, it was as if she attracted all the light in the world, gathering on her body, dazzling.

An astonishing spiritual pressure emanated from her, covering the sky and reaching far and wide.

The guests stood up and saluted, saying, "Congratulations to Gao Yan for achieving the Great Dao as a Perfected Being!"

Gao Yan smiled slightly, sat down gracefully, and began to lecture.

"The way of heaven is to diminish the excess and supplement the deficiency."

"The way of man is to diminish the deficiency and offer the excess."

"..."

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the distant horizon, "Where is Pang Yue? Dare you fight me!"

Gao Yan's expression changed slightly, and she stopped lecturing.

She saw a golden giant ship appearing in the distant sky, carrying wind and thunder!

Six majestic auras rose to the sky without any concealment, forming a vast pressure that rolled over.

Six Gold Cores!

There was an uproar among the guests.

"Don't panic, everyone."

Gao Yan's cold voice sounded.

She looked up at the sky and said softly, "Father, are you here to attend your daughter's ceremony?"

Her gentle voice traveled far away.

The golden giant ship stopped from a distance, confronting the White Bone Dao Palace.

On the bow of the ship, a cultivator in an ancient robe stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Gao Yan and shouting, "Yan'er, come to your father's side!"

Gao Yan shook her head slightly and said, "Yan'er is now married to someone else. She will come back to visit her family another day, but not today."

A flash of light appeared in the sky, and a graceful young female cultivator appeared, persuading, "Junior sister, why are you so stubborn? Are you really going to turn against your parents and sect for a demon?"

Surprisingly, it was Xi Yueming, the Elder of Azure Cloud Mountain's Gold Core.

Four figures emerged from the golden giant ship, all of them powerful Gold Core experts.

Gao Chong shouted, "Pang Yue, don't be a coward. Come out and fight. Otherwise, even if I have to risk my life today, I will destroy the foundation of your sect!"

After speaking, the golden giant ship behind him emitted boundless brilliance, and the void trembled. It seemed that as long as Gao Chong had a thought, it would crash into the White Bone Dao Palace!

Divine Firmament Lightning Ship!

A Rank Five Law Treasure.

Everyone's hearts trembled as they recalled the rumors. They couldn't help but be shocked. Gao Chong actually brought out the sect's treasured artifact.

For a while, the situation became tense, and the guests scattered in fear of being affected. The scene was chaotic.

Only a few Gold Core experts dared to sit and watch.

"Why bother!"

A long sigh echoed in the void.

Then, a tall figure appeared on the Naihe Bridge and appeared in front of the Divine Firmament Lightning Ship.
