The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 439 The Ye’s Arrangement

The territory of demon clan was very large and no one knew how large it was. Even if Li Ye’s cultivation was in the Ground Immortal Realm, it was still hard for him to go all the places of demon clan.

It was not easy to open up such a world. It was said that it was Founder Kunpeng and the twelve Demon Kings who did it, who used to be Emperor Taiyi’s right hands. They were omnipotent and famed the world over. However, their corpses couldn’t be found anywhere now.

The map in Li Ye’s hand showed that he was at the territory of Macaque King. It was said that the Macaque King was an annoying monkey. He not only looked ugly, but also always sought revenge for the smallest grievance. But Li Ye didn’t care about that. Even if the Macaque King was highly cultivated and on bad terms with Monkey King, Li Ye also didn’t care.

But now he was very angry with this monkey. Because people and demons were not allowed to fly freely in the Macaque King’s territory. In short, fly was banned.

From the mortal world to the territory of demon clan, Li Ye had gone a long way, but not for a long time. He didn’t intend to see Macaque King, because when he left, Monkey King told him to find Bull Demon King or Roc Demon King first, not because he dared not provoke Macaque King.

But Monkey King did not tell him how to find them or which way to take. When Li Ye asked, the Monkey King only said that the road was under his feet and just went ahead. Li Ye thought that Monkey King’s words were bullshit, but he couldn’t directly say that to Monkey King, because he was no fighting match for him.

In fact, Li Ye didn’t need to be taught how to go. He came to the demon clan only for one thing. He came here to let the demon clan provide cultivators and magic treasures, so that he could form an army capable of fighting against the Taoist soldiers of the Immortal Court. This matter was not easy, at least not easier than Founder Kunpeng opening up this world.

Li Ye didn’t care. He had his own method, which was very simple. Wherever he went, and whoever he met was not convinced, he would fight against him or her until the other side was convinced.

He was the prince of Tang Empire, and would be the king of the army formed by the cultivators of demon clan. He was not here to beg the demon clan, and the army he got by begging would not be willing to obey his orders.

It did not matter that he couldn’t defeat the Macaque King. He just needed to fight. It also did not matter that he couldn’t defeat the Lion Camel King. He also just needed to fight. He would not stop. Because it was impossible for him to give in. He would never give in.

Li Ye was very clear about what these demon kings want. They would not let him die. As for the dispute among Bull Demon King, Macaque King and Lion Camel King, he didn’t plan to think about it.

Tens of millions of people in the north of Tang Empire, which was at the east of the Yellow River, were all his people now, and the gathering of Luck kept going every day. Although Li Ye’s cultivation kept increasing little by little every day, it never stopped increasing. It would be sooner or later for him to reach the Sky Immortal Realm. So he was not coward.

At this time, Li Ye was squatting beside Wu You and looking at the footprints on the stone, mind wandering.

The footprints were more than 3 decimeters deep and looked shocking. But what shocked Li Ye now was not this footprint, but the fluctuation of spiritual Qi under the footprint.

In Wu You’s strange eyes, Li Ye took out his Luke Sword and began to dig the stone.

You Daxiao, squatting beside the big hole, asked curiously, “What treasure are you digging for, Brother Li?”

Li Ye did not answer. After a while, he found an amber spiritual stone, which was as big as a fist.

When the spiritual stone appeared in the air, it was as bright as the sun, which made Li Ye almost unable to open his eyes.

Wu You tilted her small head and looked at the spiritual stone curiously, asking, “What’s this?”

Li Ye also didn’t know what it was. He turned and asked You Daxiao, “What’s it?”

You Daxiao had jumped down. He took the spiritual stone and felt it for a moment, then he looked at Li Ye in shock and said, “This is a nonpareil spiritual stone! It’s the material for making nonpareil magic treasures. It’s extremely rare! Its value is immeasurable. The whole nonpareil spiritual stone in the Roc Demon Mountain is no more than this one!”

He took a deep breath to calm down and continued, “But, this spiritual stone is too small. If it’s a lode of spiritual stone, I’m afraid it’s already found and explored by the demon clan. However, this spiritual stone is only as big as the fist. Maybe it fell here at a certain time. It’s probably the time when Founder Kunpeng and the twelve Demon Kings opened up the world. After all, their cultivations are high, and they have many spiritual stones like this one.”

At the end of the speech, You Daxiao looked at Li Ye with extremely complicated eyes. “Brother Li, you’re so lucky. I really can’t believe that you can find such a treasure by the road on your first journey to the territory of demon clan.”

Li Ye looked at Wu You and said with a smile, “This is Duchess’ luck.”

A nonpareil spiritual stone actually appeared while Wu You chasing after the demon fox. She was so lucky.

The point was that if she could control her body and keep balance, she wouldn’t have left a big hole on the ground while jumping and falling and Li Ye wouldn’t have found this spiritual stone buried inside the stone when he helped her pull her calf out of the stone.

“It’s not my luck, it’s a Ye’s arrangement!” Wu You waved her small fist and smiled happily, conglobate eyes turning into crescentic.

You Daxiao was stunned for a moment and asked, “What do you mean?”

Wu You said naturally, “Others always say that the heaven has its own arrangement. I think Brother Ye is the heaven, so it’s a Ye’s arrangement.”

You Daxiao opened his mouth and looked at Li Ye again. “Are you so excellent?”

Li Ye said with a smile, “No. The Duchess is excellent.”

Wu You said firmly, “It’s Brother Ye who is excellent!”

“No, it’s you!”

You Daxiao was speechless. “What the hell? Are you praising each other?”

Li Ye asked, “Can this spiritual stone be a magic treasure?” Since it was a spiritual stone, it should have this effect.

However, You Daxiao shook his head and said, “It’s still too few to be a new magic treasure... In fact, the nonpareil magic treasure is the acquired magic treasure of the highest class-ranking, and there are few in the demon clan as well as the Roc Demon Mountain... But it can transform the magic treasure of low class-ranking and improve their power.”

You Daxiao’s words were clear and logical. It seemed that he knew a lot about it. In fact, this was also normal. After all, he was the Son of God of the demon clan. Although he was young and had not achieved high cultivation, he was the demon from the place where there was a tradition of cultivating and which was different from the mortal world strictly controlled by the Immortal Court.

Although Luke Sword was much better than other magic tools in the mortal world, its class-ranking was similar to that of the low magic tools at most. Otherwise, Li Ye would not lose to the demon fox’s calabash gourd. Last night, it even couldn’t break the door, which was a great blow to Li Ye

Luke Sword had always been Li Ye’s best weapon. In the past battles, it had brought many conveniences to Li Ye. However, its strong point suddenly became a weak point, which had a great bad impact on his combat power. He was not used to it.

Li Ye took out his Luke Sword and asked You Daxiao, “Do you think whether this spiritual stone can improve my sword?”

You Daxiao was familiar with Li Ye’s sword. After all, he always saw him use it and knew that it was the emperor’s sword. He said in a deep voice, “If it’s a magic tool below the average, I can help you refine it. However, although the class-ranking of your sword is not high, it’s still not a common sword in essence. I have to go back to Roc Demon Mountain and ask for help from my father’s subordination, Great Power.”

Li Ye was disappointed. There was still a long way to the Roc Demon Mountain, and they could not arrive there in a day or two. The key was that they were in the territory of Macaque King and it was hard to say whether they could go out smoothly.

Li Ye had been thinking that he happened to get a nonpareil spiritual stone due to great luck so that he could improve his Luke Sword with it. If there was any trouble later, at least he wouldn’t lose in the competition of magic treasures. Otherwise, he would be depressed when he was unable to exert his combat power.

Since the spiritual stone could not be used now, it became less important. Li Ye felt sorry about that.

At this moment, the Dragon Qi in his body suddenly became active. It flowed for two circles, swum in Li Ye’s meridians, and finally entered Luke Sword.

Before Li Ye could react, Dragon Qi opened its mouth to the spiritual stone. The spiritual stone immediately shone, and many amber snake-shaped spiritual Qi flew out of it and entered Luke Sword, lighting the ancient rune on the body of the sword.

With the appearance of green light, the sword trembled violently and almost slipped out of Li Ye’s hand, who then held it firmly in a hurry.

The whole process did not last for a long time. The sword soon stopped trembling. The Dragon Qi also came back to the Ocean of Qi and kept floating as usual.

However, Luke Sword seemed to have been polished and became brighter and even heavier. The seemingly ordinary rune was also full of breathtaking power now.

Li Ye sensed that the Luke Sword had become more powerful, as if it had given birth to an invincible will.

And the nonpareil spiritual stone in Li Ye’s hand was already dim and looked like an ordinary stone.

This scene made You Daxiao confused, who was completely unclear about the situation. However, he still could clearly sense great pressure from Luke Sword after it was improved and that there was no fluctuation of spiritual Qi inside the spiritual stone.

You Daxiao said, “Brother Li, you have learned how to make weapons? What’s more, I haven’t seen this method before. It’s so unpredictable. How can you refine the weapon in an instant?”

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said, “Maybe it’s really a Ye’s arrangement.”

Wu You, face full of adoration, called out, “Brother Ye is really excellent!”

You Daxiao smiled and said nothing.

In fact, Li Ye was also confused. He had never experienced such a thing before and didn’t know that Dragon Qi had such a role.

However, after careful thinking, he thought that maybe the class-ranking of the magic tools and spiritual stones in the mortal world was too low to upgrade Luke Sword, so Dragon Qi had no chance to play its role. Now the spiritual stone in front of them was nonpareil, so it was not surprising that such a thing happened. After all, Dragon Qi and Luke Sword came down in one continuous line.

Whatever, it surprised Li Ye that the Dragon Qi had directly absorbed the spiritual Qi in the spiritual stone and increased the class-ranking of Luke Sword.

If Luke Sword used to be a magic tool of low class-ranking, it was now infinitely close to middle class-ranking.

Li Ye thought that maybe he should try to get more spiritual stones and magic treasures for Dragon Qi, so as to improve his Luke Sword as much as possible.

When he thought of that, his eyes to the front became firm and were gradually full of fire. He seemed to have seen piles of spiritual stones and countless magic treasures.

“There is a city not far in front. Let’s go and have a look.” Li Ye smiled and said.

Li Ye was a little anxious now, so he said the city was not far away, but in fact, it was not close. After walking for a day, they came to a valley plain at dusk, where they saw a city.

The scale of this city of demon clan was not small. The perimeter of city wall was no shorter than that of the city of the Tang Empire. But the thickness and height of the city wall were much better than that of the city in the mortal world. The towering city wall gave people a great sense of oppression. If someone guarded the wall, even the people in the Spiritual Master Realm couldn’t invade it.

Compared with the cultivators in the mortal world, the cultivators of the demon clan was undoubtedly much stronger. After all, each demon king governed 100,000 demons, and almost all of them were cultivators, so there were many cultivators in the Immortal Realm in the demon clan.

Compared with the mortal world, there were indeed more cultivators in the Immortal Realm in the demon clan. But, in fact, most of the demons hadn’t reached the Immortal Realm, so the city wall did play an important role in defending.

Li Ye, standing on the hill in front of the river valley, looked at the demon city named Panfeng City from afar, and sighed with emotion in his heart.

Different from his imagination, Panfeng City was not an isolated city. Because of the vast area of the valley plain, there were many villages around the city, which were scattered in the endless fields.

Because it was summer, the crops in the fertile fields were growing well. It looked like a green ocean. Every time wind blew, green waves rose and fell one after another, which made people feel happy.

Different from the mortal world, there were few demons bending and working in the fertile fields. Instead, there were many flying in the air and spreading fertilizer to the fields.

In a field, several strong old cows were plowing, faster than the running horses. When the work was done, the old cows actually turned into human beings and went out to rest.

Beside a field of wheat, several demons were speaking incantations and carrying out techniques to bring clouds and rain. Soon, the small sky was covered with dark clouds and it rained heavily.

In a place not far from Li Ye, several cultivators of the demon clan were mining. Batches of spiritual stones were transported out of the mine and were loaded onto the cart, which then was pulled by demon animals on the road steadily and quickly. Under the guard of the cultivators in the air, they rushed to Panfeng City.

In front of the city gate of Panfeng City, merchants were in a long queue, going into and out of the city.

Li Ye was dazed by the beautiful scenery.
