Above all spirits

Chapter 418 Returning to the Upper Realm

The Ultimate Demon Realm.

A restaurant located not far from the outer city of the imperial city.

This restaurant is grand in scale and magnificent in appearance. It is famous for its meat dishes and is frequented not only by the royal family in the palace, but also by demons from outside the Supreme Demon Realm. Even people from the gods occasionally come here.

The meaning of food in the upper realm is different from that in the lower realm. In the upper realm, it is considered a luxury, rather than a necessity in the lower realm.

Upper Bound.

The concepts of gods, demons, and asuras are very broad. Basically, any being with inherent powers within its own realm can be called a god, demon, or asura. The only difference is whether or not it can form a race or even a royal family.

But that doesn't mean there are no other living beings.

There are still many natural beings whose intelligence has not yet been developed, or beings whose intelligence has just begun to develop.

However, these creatures do not possess inherent powers, but only racial talents.

It is not a necessity, and that is precisely why.

Lacking inherent powers and unable to learn and use them, these beings inherently have extremely low requirements for soul essence, and similarly, their bodies contain very little soul essence.

This indirectly explains that consuming the flesh of these creatures does not help in improving one's divine or demonic status or in increasing the amount of soul essence stored.

Therefore, meat is a luxury in the upper realm.

Incidentally, depending on the realm they were born from, these creatures are called divine beasts, demonic beasts, and underworld beasts, and their racial talents vary greatly.

In short, this is a high-end restaurant.

Feng Qiao pointed to the restaurant, which was brightly lit but not a sound of laughter could be heard.

"Young Master Ling Jian, I've already inquired, and this restaurant has been booked out for today."

"Private venue?"

"Yes, I heard that Consort Xu has important matters to discuss here today. She doesn't like to be disturbed while eating, and the content of her conversations is not suitable for outsiders to hear."

The entire restaurant has been booked out, the rent must be exorbitant, and this is not something that money can solve.

It seems that Feng Qiao's statement is most likely true.

Feng Qiao was one of the two attendants of Xue Lingjian Jihuang Demon Realm. He was a member of the Wind Demon Clan, but it would be more accurate to say that he was a spy planted by the Blood Cloud Demon Clan within the Wind Demon Clan.

The other follower is a female demon named Lin Tong, who is a demon without a race, but whose inherent powers are not weak.

Both of these followers are demon generals who have mastered "power".

Xue Lingjian looked at the dozens of armored guards stationed near the restaurant's walls and sighed.

"There are so many guards."

"Young master, this is actually a small number. Once you leave the imperial city a little further away, the number of guards will increase to several hundred."

"Um...are you sure your surname is Xu?"

Unlike other royal families or races, the Supreme Emperor Demon Clan is one of the few demon races that is not named after its race.

Those who admire the imperial style believe that only the most powerful demons of the direct bloodline are qualified to use "extreme" or "emperor" as their surname.

As for the other collateral bloodlines, the Supreme Emperor Demon doesn't care, as long as they have the will to submit.

"My subordinate is sure."

"Ha, how interesting. It seems that Consort Xu is quite skilled. She has given birth before and is still favored by the emperor."

"Reporting to Master, I heard that Consort Xu recently gave birth to a baby boy for that person, which is why her status has been restored. A few years ago, Consort Xu would have had trouble even leaving the palace."

Xue Lingjian sneered, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

"I see. How lucky she is. The higher one's rank, the harder it is to have children, yet she was so fortunate to give birth to two. Is she a succubus reincarnated?"

"Hmm? Young master, I've only managed to find out about one..."

Upon hearing Feng Qiao's words, Xue Lingjian stopped and turned around.

"It seems that spending too much time among the lowly demon race, the Wind Demon Clan, has made you forget who you are. I heard that you seem to have some status among the younger generation of the Wind Demon Clan?"

Feng Qiao trembled slightly and lowered his head.

"Don't dare."

"You just need to answer my questions; I don't want to hear anything else."

"Yes."

As expected of a master-disciple relationship, Xue Lingjian not only inherited the legacy and powers of the Second Blood Lord, but his style of doing things was also influenced by it.

"Lin Tong, you go this time."

Xue Lingjian tossed a jade pendant to Lin Tong.

"Give this to the gatekeeper and have him pass it on to Consort Xu. I think she'll agree to let us have a full meal."

"correct."

Xue Lingjian pointed to his eyes and said.

"Don't forget to keep an eye on the various conditions in the restaurant."

"You probably don't want to become a useless demon, do you?"

"Yes!"

……

"Cough! Cough!"

"Where is this?"

Gu Yun wearily opened her eyes and found herself lying on a bed in a traditional Chinese bedroom, but with a more luxurious and decadent feel than a normal home bedroom.

A dark shadow slowly extended against the light.

"I don't know. When I arrived, I was in the courtyard. I took a quick look and it seemed to be a restaurant. I was lucky; there didn't seem to be many people in the restaurant today, so I just randomly chose a room to come in."

"As for the location, we can rule out the Asura Realm first. There are probably very few buildings of this style in the God Realm either. It is most likely in the Demon Realm."

Gu Yun nodded, took a deep breath, and assessed his current physical condition.

He immediately relaxed and his brow unfurrowed.

Although the internal damage was still not negligible, he naturally stepped into the realm of a demon general the moment he arrived in the upper realm.

With the body of a demon general as his foundation, and the 'Boundless' blessing of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's will, his injuries are visibly healing.

Gu Yun did not immediately catch up with Werner because there was something he wanted to confirm.

"Xiao Tian?"

Gu Yun tried to summon the consciousness of the Heavenly Demon Emperor. Although he hadn't paid attention to it for a long time, it didn't mean that Gu Yun had forgotten it. It was just that the only function of Little Heaven to him at present was to relay messages between demons.

The familiar, innocent child's voice did not respond as Gu Yun had hoped for for a long time.

This made Gu Yun feel somewhat disappointed.

This means that Gu Yun Information will be connected to the lower boundary fault.

But the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will can still be cast normally...

In the end, Xiao Tian is just a derivative of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's will. There's no reason why the Emperor's will can be used but Xiao Tian can't respond.

Could it be...

Is the signal too weak here?

It was like entering a deep forest without any antenna equipment. He was the only demon in the entire upper realm, and Xiao Tian couldn't connect to him normally.

Or...

Gu Yun was unsure of the specific reasons and had many guesses, which could only be verified little by little.

Gu Yun shook off his momentary disappointment and smiled as he stared at the dark figure before him.

"Long time no see, Werner."

The familiar voice sounded again.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Hmm...it hasn't been that long, maybe a month or two? To be honest, I thought you'd be asleep for a few years."

"Indeed, I also thought it would take me several years to get used to this body that is filled with the feeling of death, but your reckless behavior made me wake up earlier than expected."
