How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

Chapter 642: Chapter 0637: Ascending the Heavenly Peak

These were a pair of golden wings, where the originally damaged areas no longer existed, now filled in with some black feathers.

Apart from that, many other parts of the golden wings had also been transformed with black feathers, making the whole appear like two clumps of black flame patterns.

The originally splendid and dazzling golden wings, because of the embellishment of the black feathers, retracted some of their brilliance, adding a few strands of mystery.

Above the wings, there emitted a strange and ancient Holy Beast Bloodline aura, leaving it difficult to discern exactly which Holy Beast Bloodline it was.

It seemed that the clown, in the process of refining, had completely fused the aura of the two types of wings, making it difficult for outsiders to grasp the true origin of the wings unless they felt carefully.

“How about it? Brother Dong didn’t lie to you, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”

The clown’s face suddenly came close, that exaggerated clown face interrupting Chen Yu’s observation.

“Not bad.”

Chen Yu was quite satisfied.

“This wondrous artifact’s grade reaches the very top of high-grade, so I’ll charge you two million low-grade Primordial Stones,” the clown continued.

“Top high-grade?”

Chen Yu inhaled slightly, the grade also perfectly met his requirements.

A normal high-grade Spiritual Artifact was worth around two million, and the grade of these wings was even higher, it was only because Chen Yu provided the materials that the clown charged two million low-grade Primordial Stones.

However, in Chen Yu’s view, the price was still high.

Since he was in a good mood and had enough Primordial Stones, he didn’t quibble with the clown.

“Last time I broke your equipment, plus the cost of refining the Spiritual Artifact, that’s a total of three million!”

Chen Yu took out so many Primordial Stones in one go, which somewhat surprised the clown.

“By the way, Mr. Clown, did you encounter any obstacles during the artifact refining process?” Chen Yu suddenly remembered that the previous four shops had refused his artifact refining requests.

“Yes!” the clown revealed a thoughtful expression before answering.

“You really are a fine Artifact Refiner, honest Brother Dong!”

Chen Yu couldn’t help but praise the clown.

The previous few shops had all chosen to compromise, agreeing to the requests of the King clans, unlike this seemingly unremarkable small shop, where the slightly odd Artifact Refiner refused the others and helped Chen Yu complete the artifact refining.

The clown’s eyes lit up slightly, as if he liked the title Chen Yu gave him.

Having obtained the item, Chen Yu then left the place.

“It’s just a pity that Brother Dong only stops by here to earn some Money; I hope to see you again in the future so that I might uncover the secrets within your body…” The clown once again revealed an exaggerated smile, his eyes flickering with a sinister light as he muttered softly to himself and then turned to enter the shop.

After returning to his residence, Chen Yu began to refine the “Golden Phoenix Wing.”

Due to the high grade of this miraculous flying artifact, and Chen Yu’s lower cultivation level, the refining process was rather slow.

However, Chen Yu discovered that once he activated the Golden Winged Phoenix’s bloodline, the refining speed would increase exponentially.

Thus, in just three days, Chen Yu had completely refined the Golden Phoenix Wing!

During the refining process, Chen Yu noticed a detail that he couldn’t let go of for a long time.

“I just can’t trust that clown!” Chen Yu let out a sigh.

At the end of the Golden Phoenix Wing, there were many ancient mysterious characters that seemed to be related to Arrays, but they vaguely outlined three characters – Mo Sandong!

This was presumably Brother Dong’s real name, but how could he bear to do such a thing on such a beautiful creation?

There were still ten days left until the time Black Demon Valley was recruiting disciples, and Chen Yu began to retreat and cultivate on his own.

Chen Yu’s mental realm had already reached the Half-step Sky Sea Realm; the threat within the True Essence Lake had been completely resolved back when he was with the Yang Family, and he was now ready to make a breakthrough to the Late Stage Guiyuan Realm Peak at any time.

But since the assessment was coming up, Chen Yu wasn’t in a rush to make a breakthrough.

…

In a luxurious and spacious residence, a group of young men and women gathered.

“Has You Han been found yet?” You Lie, dressed in a black robe and exuding a sharp aura, asked in a low voice.

“No, not a single clue,” answered someone below.

“How is that possible? Where could he have run off to? Today is the day Black Demon Valley is recruiting disciples!”

You Lie roared somewhat irritably.

“Young Master You Lie, You Han was sent by you to track and obstruct that kid. Afterwards, he disappeared without a trace. Could he have been… killed by that kid?”

A man below spoke quietly and slowly.

You Lie’s pupils suddenly constricted. “You Han is a genius of our You Clan; how could he possibly die at the hands of that kid!”

“Moreover, his disappearance was sudden, without any disturbance, without any clues.”

Fighting is not allowed in the Cultivation Spirit Hall.

Now with so many people gathered in the Cultivation Spirit Hall, one could almost see heads wherever they turned.

In such a situation, would it be possible for Chen Yu to make a Late Guiyuan Realm genius disappear without alerting anyone?

“However, all of this started because of that kid; perhaps he also knows something.”

You Lie snorted coldly.

“You’re right, sir. Should we interrogate him?”

“No need, let’s just set off. I believe that kid will definitely come for the assessment; I’ll ask him myself!”

Suddenly standing up, You Lie walked out of the residence.

On the other hand, Chen Yu also left his dwelling with several people from the Yang Family.

“Wow, there are so many people, all going to be assessed by Black Demon Valley and the Heavenly Jade Sect.”

Yang Hai exclaimed in amazement.

Not far away, a huge carriage, drawn by two golden griffins, was moving forward slowly.

People ahead, upon seeing this carriage, made way for it one after another.

Under everyone’s gaze, members of the You Clan left the Cultivation Spirit Hall.

“If I’m not mistaken, the one who obstructed my Artifact Refining this time must be You Lie.”

A cold glint flashed in Chen Yu’s eyes.

Although the other party was a King Clan, if there were a chance, Chen Yu would still seek revenge for that arrow.

“Let’s go as well, if we’re too late, who knows how long we’ll have to queue!”

Yang Fenghou spoke and had already taken action.

Just then, a huge green peacock flew from behind, pulling behind it a yellow-green palanquin inside which sat an enchantingly beautiful woman and a long-haired, handsome man.

At this moment, the green peacock was heading toward the Yang Family members, and the surrounding crowd quickly stepped aside.

“Cui Clan!”

Yang Fenghou saw the man and woman on the carriage, along with a troop of dozens of people behind them, and he immediately stopped in his tracks, not daring to act rashly.

He could tell that they were coming for the Yang Family group.

“I’ve had the pleasure of meeting two talents from the Cui Clan. What guidance do you have for us?”

Yang Fenghou bowed and said with a smile, looking up at the green peacock exuding a strong aura and the man and woman in the palanquin, feeling immense pressure all over his body.

As a King Clan, the Cui Clan was the focus of everyone’s attention.

At the moment, countless people around found it odd that the Cui Clan’s talents were staying with several individuals who seemed to have weak cultivations and poor talent.

“Yan’er, you know someone?”

The long-haired man looked toward the woman beside him and asked.

Cui Yan’er nodded and then looked at Chen Yu with a confident smile, “You’re quite impressive, managing to put You Lie at a disadvantage. However, he won’t let it go. If you enter the Heavenly Jade Sect, you can join our Cui Clan faction!”

Hearing Cui Yan’er’s words, the long-haired man’s gaze became sharp, scrutinizing Chen Yu closely but didn’t find anything particularly special. He must be a foolhardy person who wasn’t afraid of anything, otherwise, how would he dare to offend You Lie.

“Thank you for your kindness, Miss, but my aim is the Black Demon Valley!”

Chen Yu replied politely.

“Black Demon Valley? If that’s the case, then we are enemies now!”

Cui Yan’er’s attitude changed abruptly, her proud demeanor laced with cold indifference and disdain.

Chen Yu was stunned, this woman changed her face too quickly.

He didn’t realize that Cui Yan’er placed great importance on face. She had invited Chen Yu, yet he not only refused but also declared that his goal was the Black Demon Valley.

Everyone knew that the Black Demon Valley and Heavenly Jade Sect were bitter rivals, and Chen Yu’s blunt words were seen as a provocation by Cui Yan’er; she felt this was a slap in the face.

“Let’s go, Yan’er. This kid doesn’t know what’s good for him. If we encounter him during the assessment, I’ll take care of him for you.”

The long-haired man said casually, as if it were a trivial matter easily handled.

Then, the green peacock, pulling the palanquin, passed by the Yang Family and others.

“Guest Chen, you have a feud with You Lie?”

Yang Fenghou wiped off cold sweat.

Chen Yu had offended not only You Lie of the You Clan but now also Cui Yan’er of the Cui Clan; he truly attracted trouble like a magnet.

“Fenghou Brother, it was You Lie who troubled Brother Chen.”

Yang Yuhuan spoke up for Chen Yu.

“Right, that man just now said, if we meet in the assessment… Members of the Cui Clan should all choose to enter the Heavenly Jade Sect, right? How could we meet them in the assessment?”

Chen Yu was somewhat puzzled.

“You don’t know?”

Yang Fenghou looked at Chen Yu in surprise and then explained, “The news has been spreading these past few days.”

“I heard that the Black Demon Valley and Heavenly Jade Sect are recruiting disciples simultaneously, seemingly betting on the results of the disciples… so this recruitment assessment is expected to be very brutal.”

Yang Fenghou shared what he had heard during these days.

“No wonder the recruitment location is at the Heavenly Ascension Peak!”

Chen Yu’s confusion was cleared.

The group also quickly left the Cultivation Spirit Hall and headed toward the Heavenly Ascension Peak.

The distance from the Cultivation Spirit Hall to the Heavenly Ascension Peak was not far, it could be reached in less than half a day.

At this moment, at the foot of the Heavenly Ascension Peak, it was already a sea of people with two long queues stretching on for more than twenty meters.

Many more were gathered nearby, unsure whether they were spectating or just waiting for the queues to lessen before joining.

From a distance, one could see two giant stone gateways, one black and one white. Hanging on the gateways were plaques inscribed with Black Demon Valley and Heavenly Jade Sect, the mere sight of those few characters emanating endless might, intimidating all creatures.

Chen Yu and the Yang Family members approached the queue leading to the black stone gateway.

At that moment, they saw two men walk straight to the front, skipping the queue, and after registering, they passed through the gateway.

“Those who don’t need to queue either belong to a King Clan or a Three-Star Great Clan, or they have a strong backer in a sect, allowing them to enter directly. None of them are simple.”

Yang Fenghou gave Chen Yu a heads-up, finding that Chen Yu really had a talent for attracting trouble.

Three hours later, it was finally Chen Yu and the others’ turn. After registering some information and paying a fee of five thousand middle-grade Primordial Stones each, they were allowed in.

Just then, a sharp-nosed elder approached from the side.

“You lot, you are from the Yang Family, aren’t you?”

The sharp-nosed elder glanced over at Chen Yu, Yang Fenghou, and the others and then shook his head slightly.

“Greetings to Senior Liu, I often hear the Ancestor mention you!”

Yang Fenghou immediately greeted with a fist and palm salute.

This sharp-nosed elder before them was a Steward within the Black Demon Valley, and if they could form a connection, life within the Black Demon Valley would be much easier.

“Let’s go. The first trial to enter the Black Demon Valley is that Heavenly Ascension Ladder. As long as you climb fifty steps, you can become an Outer Valley Disciple!”

The sharp-nosed elder led the group forward.

Ahead at the base of Heavenly Ascension Peak was a hundred-step stone staircase leading straight to the summit of the peak!

Atop the summit were two majestic palaces, distinct in black and white, surrounded by swirling winds of black and white, shrouding them and making them difficult to see clearly.

But standing at the foot of the mountain, everyone could feel the terrifying aura emanating from within those palaces!
