Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 1084: Chapter 59: Arrived in the Mortal Realm, Just Got Off the Plane

Jiang Lian returned to the Demon Palace, and unlike the lively scene last time when her sisters flocked to greet her, the palace was much quieter this time.

Evidently, after Huan Yue returned, she had already told her sisters about the trip—although Jiang the Witch wasn’t sure exactly how she described it, but first there was the tedious long-distance journey, then a magical competition at the destination, followed by being sealed…

Without any fun or food, even the most tolerant Heavenly Demon wouldn’t find such a trip interesting, so the sisters quickly reached a consensus.

Our sister has changed!

She used to take us out to have fun, but now she only knows how to make us work hard for her, run errands, take bullets, and bear the damage!

Thus, upon discovering Jiang the Witch’s return, the sisters quickly chose to flee, scattering into the depths of the Demon Palace, determined not to let Jiang Lian catch them as laborers.

But now, as the most powerful eldest sister, how could Jiang the Witch let them go just because “the sisters didn’t want to go”?

Soon, she cast Demonic Techniques, transforming into a pitch-black cloud, laughing wildly as she charged into the depths of the Demon Palace.

Before long, she returned carrying a sister who appeared as if she was mourning her parents.

“Good sister, please spare me!” The other pleaded continuously, “I am the weakest among all the sisters, truly unable to assist you!”

This sister’s name was “Qing Shang,” and she seemed to be the first among the sisters to know about Jiang the Witch’s return, which led Jiang to suspect that this sister probably had some reconnaissance or secret technique related to Art Calculation, threatening her:

“Stop the nonsense, how did you find out I returned? Speak up immediately!”

Qing Shang the Witch was obviously much slyer, appearing pitiful, young, and helpless on the surface, but in reality, she was full of lies. She first claimed that “other sisters informed her,” and when Jiang Lian asked her who had reported the news, she changed her statement to say that “she just happened to see the sister outside returning, so she notified the other sisters.”

Jiang the Witch finally lost her patience and directly tore off her arms, swallowing them into her black mist, warning her:

“For every lie you tell, I’ll bite off a part of your body. Think for yourself how much of your body remains before you continue to act cunning with me!”

Qing Shang almost spat blood, thinking that rumors had spread among the sisters previously, saying that this sister Li An had kept a man outside, only to be abandoned by him, losing her mind. Now it seemed indeed true!

We are all daughters of the Demon King, biological sisters, how can there be anyone catching a sister to make her work for her, bullying her harshly if she doesn’t comply!

Complaints aside, with the situation stronger than herself, Qing Shang had no choice but to honestly say:

“I previously studied a Demonic Technique left by father and discovered an ’Instant Calculative Sutra.’ The content is profoundly obscure, and I only managed to study the surface…”

“No worries!” Jiang Lian waved a big hand, “Art Calculation is perfect, that’s exactly what I was looking for, there will be plenty of opportunities where you will be needed next!”

After saying this, she lifted Qing Shang and then flew towards the direction of the Heavenly Sphere in the Cultivation Realm.

On the Eastern Emperor Realm side, with the Jiaolong Clan entering the imperial capital and the agreements between the vassal states gradually being signed, the situation started to stabilize.

From this, the power struggle initiated by the sudden death of the Qilin Emperor was finally completely settled.

The Jiaolong Clan, returning to the pinnacle of power, received the joint support of the four dukes, which is quite rare in history.

To the Azure Dragon Clan, the Jiaolong imperial clan is considered “a relative they need to rely on”; to the Xuanwu Clan, they are “an old friend with a historical friendship.” Therefore, these two clans are currently the core allies of the Jiaolong Clan, still actively strengthening relationships with the imperial clan to further expand their influence.

The Vermilion Bird Clan immersed in the joy of defeating their old enemy, temporarily has no other ideas. Only the White Tiger Clan is the loser of the vassal war, historically speaking, they are the most prone to initiate subsequent rebellions.

But the most ingenious part is that the Long Hu possesses the bloodline of the Celestial Fox Clan, therefore, the internal resistance within the West State is not strong, everyone is more inclined to temporarily lie low and admit defeat, then let the Celestial Fox Clan leverage the advantage of being the emperor’s maternal family to reclaim authority for the Mao Clan in the upper echelon of the empire.

Therefore, the Eastern Emperor Realm also ushered in a rare and long-awaited peace.

For the Jiaolong imperial clan that has now returned to the imperial capital, the only thing they need to guard against is the possible counterattack from the Qilin Clan.

However, the empress Long Hu did not seem interested in further consolidating power, she merely divided the power cake left by the Qilin quickly with the other three dukes, and then set off, preparing to head to the Cultivation Realm.

The Abandoned Gateway to the Cultivation Realm is located deep within a barren valley in the west of the Central State, once the entrance the Demon Race collectively migrated into this realm through.

But due to being sealed by the Sun True Fire on the other side, it had long been completely abandoned for hundreds of years, usually, no Demon Race would come by here.

Even due to the overwhelming heat from the Sun True Fire, radiating through the Abandoned Gateway, the valley was almost perpetually like summer, with drought and high temperatures alternating, nearly nothing grows here, even the nearby Mao Clan wouldn’t come close to the surrounding areas of the valley.

An entourage with a considerable number suddenly arrived near the mouth of the valley one day.

Within the entourage, almost all were of Demon King Realm, clustered around a noble lady like stars escorting the moon, then dispersed in an orderly manner. The scouts, the rear guards, the sentinels around the peripherals, each proceeding with their roles in an organized way.
