Zixin didn’t know how far the Immortal Realm was from his meagre Saint Realm strength but it sounded pretty far away and scary.
’Tens of thousand of years? But I haven’t been here for long, maybe different realms have different time zones.’ thought Zixin.
[Tell me more. Can I go there right now?] asked Zixin.
"It’s fun there. Earthlings have cool tech stuff like phones, laptops, tv’s, etc. They also have delicious foods like ice cream, cakes, biscuits, chocolate, coffee, etc. They are evil and good, some more evil than demons, some more cunning than devils while others are kinder and gentler than Buddha. They are very vengeful, especially when you eat their loved ones so do that cautiously. And lastly, they are very greedy, both the good and the bad ones."
[I want to go there.]
"Haha, that’s where things get complicated. The Demon King of Pride left with the Gate to Earth so you can’t just go there like it was in the past. But we Devils do have Earth’s coordinates, saving you time and energy looking for the Cosmos Realm in the Myriad Realms. All you have to do is find a Devil, have that Devil go to Earth, establish a cult for you and prepare a Summoning Ritual for you and vuala, you’re there. The Summoning Ritual is very important because it determines how much strength you’ll have once you’re summoned. You can be summoned will all your strength or no strength at all." explained Ciel.
[That sounds like alot, is there a short cut to this process?]
"Unfortunately there isn’t but you can travel to either Domains in the meantime like the Chaos Domain, the Void Domain, the Nightmare-Dream Domain or the Life Domain but I highly don’t recommend going to the Void Domain, that place is scary."
[There are other Domains other than the Life and Death Domains?!] exclaimed Zixin.
"Of course there are. I’ve just mentioned them. You can go to any Domain or just explore the Underworld, it’s one third the Death Domain so you can’t even imagine how massive this place is. No demon, not even the Demon Kings could claim to have explored even half of this place."
"Yeah, this place has many interesting places. For example, the Cyclops Palace collapsed just a few years ago. You might not think much about this story but the Cyclops Kingdom was one of the blacksmith clans, forging powerful weapons for Noble Demons but now they are gone. It’s rumoured that the Cyclops Demons had true mass destruction type weapons, the Blood Sabers, the Dual Blades and the Heavy Gauntlets, true Demon Treasure Weapons."
[Who runs this city?]
[Take us to him. I want to talk to him.]
"The City Lord isn’t just someone you can just..."
[Take us to him.] said Zixin while grabbing Ciel’s shoulder, scaring him to almost the point of despair.
"A-As you w-wish." he said while wiping away his sweat.
[By the way, I want to buy some insects and worms, is there someone selling them around here?]
"Of course! Please follow me, I’ll take you to her right now."
Ciel took them deeper into the city where it mostly mud or rock houses with grass roofing, simplicity at its finest. He took them to a relatively big house compared to the others and there was a queue to enter the house.
"Stand in line and wait your turn."
[What is this place?]
[Fast food? What are we doing here?]
"Please be patient, you’ll see in a short while." said Ciel mysteriously. The group then waited patiently until it their turn and entered. Inside, there were multiple holes filled with different kinds of worms and maggots, some holes had mixed land and flying insects blocked by a thin net.
[Welcome to my establishment, what would you like to buy?]
Standing upside down on the webbed ceiling was a spider woman, a human torso with six arms, a spider head and spider lower body with a crimson hourglass on her spider abdomen. Zixin was mesmerized by the beautiful spider demon that he couldn’t take his eyes off of her.
As he stared at her, information about her appeared in his mind and he was shocked speechless. Poldi is a Demon Widow Spider, Rank 15 with a plethora of abilities and techniques, some average, some powerful and some extremely powerful. She even has a trace of the Time Spider Bloodline that she’s yet to awaken. To tame her, Zixin must subdue her with his phyisal prowess to tame her, use a Time Treasure of any kind to refine her and must comprehend the Time Law to nurture her and help her grow and evolve further.
Currently, Zixin couldn’t even complete one requirement because he’d be killed instantly. As for using his Noble Demon Rank to suppress her, he wasn’t sure if it would work. Her strength was calculated in the thousands and at full strength, at nine thousand.
What this meant was that Poldi could destroy a thousand Planes at minimum and maximum of nine thousand Planes. Zixin wasn’t even solar system level yet so how could he subdue a multi galactic being, it was best not to offend her.
’If she’s already so strong, I wonder just how strong Gozzl actually is. Since it’s not a Gu, I can’t tell.’thought Zixin and moved his attention to the insects and maggots in the holes. Wan Shui and Dong Shilin were too scared to even move because they too could feel Poldi’s immense strength. They even had the edge to kneel but something deep within Shilin’s very being stopped him while Wan Shui directly knelt on the ground.
Shilin’s demeanour completely changed, now emitting an air of arrogance and superiority over everyone. His body was covered in grey flames that didn’t release heat but still melted the ground.
[No matter the immensity of your strength is, you shall always be beneath me! A lowly demon you dares to try and make me kneel! Such disrespect will not be tolerated in my presence. For your transgression, a hundred whips will be enough. GUARDS, COME HERE THIS INSTANT!!!]
