Full-Time Magister: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 76 Are there still Emperor-level demons in Helan Mountain?

"You're awake." The first thing Su Ming saw when he opened his eyes was Jiuyouhou. What he saw when he was unconscious was indeed real. Jiuyouhou had saved him.

Perfect, but my head still hurts a bit. This isn't a cave anymore. I don't know where I am. There's a fire burning around Jiuyouhou. Ghosts don't need fire. Maybe she wants to be more like a human. Many of Jiuyouhou's actions are similar to those of a living person.

This campfire in the wild is one of them, but she doesn't need it.

"Where are we now?" Su Ming shook his head and asked.

"Helan Mountain, I don't know what you're doing here." Jiuyou Hou was speechless and in a bad mood. Helan Mountain was not only barren, but more importantly, staying here would cause one to lose cultivation.

The poisonous gas here, along with the fire from the cave, was constantly burning away her cultivation, which angered the Nine Netherworld Queen.

"I just want to improve my strength as soon as possible. Half of the year you asked for has already passed. If I don't improve my strength quickly, I'm worried I won't be able to complete the mission," Su Ming said with an awkward smile.

"So you came all the way to Helan Mountain?" Empress Jiuyou laughed.

Choosing Helan Mountain to improve their strength is absolutely brilliant; they actually came to this godforsaken place.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Jiuyouhou exclaimed, "You didn't come here because you heard someone say there's a big bird in Helan Mountain, did you?"

"Totem Bifang, sister, have you heard of it?" Su Ming was overjoyed. Even an old monster like Jiuyouhou knew that the totem beast must be true. At least Green Brother had some knowledge. The totem beast existed, but the power of the totem was unknown.

But this is highly likely to be true.

The Nine Nether Queen's expression was somewhat strange. Her face changed slightly, and finally she nodded and said, "There is indeed such a totem beast, the Totem Bifang, which was even more powerful than me at its peak."

"But she's already dead."

"So, is the power of the totem still there?" Su Ming asked cautiously.

"Totem power, what is that?" Jiuyou asked, puzzled, but quickly realized: "You mean that thing? Totem beasts themselves contain something that can improve a person's magical cultivation. It's not wrong to call that power totem power. Let's call it totem power as you say. It needs to be collected using a special container."

"Do you know about Totem Guardians? They possess special soul-cultivation vessels for totems; only those can collect totem power. Do you have one?"

Do we still need this thing?

Su Ming really didn't know. He only learned about totems from Brother Green. It would be strange if he knew about totem vessels.

He took out the vessel that Jiang Shaojun had given him from his pocket and asked, "Is this alright?"

This vessel is of a high grade, and the Empress of the Nine Netherworlds even made a special trip for it. It must be a good thing, but I don't know if it matches.

The saying goes, "Everyone has their own expertise." Being good at something in one field is useless in an unfamiliar one.

"I don't know, you can try it when you have the chance in the future," Jiuyouhou suggested, poking at the fire and remaining silent for a while.

Su Ming looked around and noticed something was wrong. Why did Jiu Youhou choose to stay here instead of running away after bringing him out?

Empress Jiuyou clearly loathed Helan Mountain. If she disliked it, why stay? She should just leave. With her strength, there are few places that could keep her here.

It's impossible to keep Helan Mountain here.

Su Ming thought for a moment and asked, "Sister Jiuyouhou, why did this totem Bifang pull me into that cave?"

"I was traveling with the military mages, but I fainted after seeing a snake. When I woke up, I was in that cave. Xiaoqing and that Bifang seem to be connected too. Sister, do you know what happened?"

The candlelight illuminated Jiuyou's face. She exclaimed, "Ah!" and replied, "I know a little."

"Your little summoned beast, I heard from someone that its real name is Garuda, a primordial spirit. A long, long time ago, she was with Bifang. The two of them died for some unknown reason. The one you have is Garuda's reincarnation."

"This is where Bifang died, it's normal for her to have feelings."

"As for why you suddenly appeared in the cave, I don't know either. You'll have to ask Bifang yourself, but she's dead, so you won't get any information from her." Jiuyouhou waved her hand, indicating that she didn't have any good solutions either.

Su Ming fell silent; he was certain of one thing.

"Queen of the Nine Netherworlds, take me away from Helan Mountain," Su Ming said.

"Okay, I was just about to leave too." Jiuyou readily agreed. Su Ming thought to himself, "Just as I thought," and didn't say anything more, secretly following behind Jiuyou.

After Jiuyou took Su Ming westward at great speed, they should have been able to leave Helan Mountain in just a few minutes. However, more than an hour had passed and they were still not out of Helan Mountain.

Cold sweat broke out on Jiuyou's forehead, and his face turned rather pale.

After traveling some distance, Jiuyou stopped, looked at Su Ming, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "It seems like we can't get out of here."

Even Jiuyou Queen herself could hardly believe it. She was a thousand-year-old demon, one of the eight kings of the king, one of the commanders of the undead empire, and the supreme ruler of the ghost legion—Jiuyou Queen.

She actually got lost in this godforsaken place called Helan Mountain and couldn't find her way out.

That's so embarrassing.

After stopping, Jiuyou paced back and forth, trying to figure out what had happened and why she couldn't get out.

Bifang is dead. She left only a flame deep in the Helan Mountains. As for the other great demons here, there seems to be little trace of them.

When Bi Fang was alive, it wouldn't have been difficult for her to trap Jiu You Hou with her spatial flame abilities. After all, she was an ascended emperor, an absolute being, and no one except the king could match her.

But now that Bifang is dead, there's nothing to fear. What trapped her wasn't Bifang, but something else.

The Helan Mountains have always been extremely barren, even during her lifetime. Few people have ever ventured into the Helan Mountains to explore them, so people know very little about this place.

Even though Jiuyou once controlled the resources of a country, her informants didn't understand Helan Mountain.

Helan Mountain is a very large place, so it's normal for it to produce a few powerful demons and monsters, but only a few can actually trap those in the Nine Netherworlds.

It must be a spiritual demon of the invincible monarch level, and it must be in the process of advancing, otherwise it is impossible to trap her and you will not be able to react.

The second is a pure emperor, an emperor who can make her completely unaware.

Did emperors originate in the Helan Mountains?

Wang said a large bird died here. That bird must be Bifang, a king-level bird, and a sister of the Vermilion Bird and Phoenix. It is indeed powerful enough that she cannot compare to it. But besides Bifang, are there any other king-level birds?

I haven't really looked into the Nine Netherworlds, but I'll start paying attention to it now.
