Extraordinary Awakening, starting with Samadhi True Fire

Chapter 157 Entrance to the Demon Realm

The square was bustling with people, and shouts filled the air.

"Long-term collection of water-based elemental crystals!"

"Recruiting one support cultivator from the fourth realm, with preference given to those who possess the talent skill of spiritual energy recovery."

"Reclaiming the wilderness, reclaiming the wilderness, recruiting three powerful magic users, with preference given to those with lightning and fire magic."

"Elemental weapons, 5 points each, you won't regret buying them."

"..."

Judging from the color of the school uniforms, there are mostly third and fourth-year students here, and very few second-year students. There are at least 10,000 to 20,000 students in total, including some geniuses from other extraordinary universities.

"So that's why I rarely see senior students at the university!" Fei Xiaobao exclaimed.

Jiang Peng said, "Before graduation, everyone wants to earn enough resources for a second awakening. After you graduate, if you want to enter the Demon Realm, you either need to join the Demon Suppression Army or pay a fee to enter."

"Pay close attention to the information on the screen. Some treasures can't even be found on Blue Star, but you might encounter them once you enter the Demon Realm. Any one of them is worth at least a thousand points."

The eyes of the more than two hundred students immediately lit up as they stared at the holographic screen.

Xiao Weiqing asked, "Senior, can killing demons accumulate contribution points and be exchanged for divine essence materials?"

Jiang Peng glanced at Xiao Weiqing and replied, "That's right."

"Shenyun materials are controlled items. Only those who have reached a certain contribution level can purchase the corresponding level of Shenyun materials."

"You'll understand once you've accumulated contribution points; the contribution point system will appear on your identity bracelet then."

Many students had never heard of Shen Yun's "material" before and humbly asked, "Senior, what is Shen Yun's material, and what is it used for?"

"You can understand Shen Yun as a high-level energy. Anything containing Shen Yun is called Shen Yun matter. Its most important function is to be used for secondary awakening."

"The third and fourth-year students you see here are here for Shen Yun materials."

"We open up our dantian, break through the three barriers, and form spiritual meridians within our bodies, absorbing spiritual energy. However, to enter the fifth realm, we need to absorb a large amount of divine essence and then undergo a second awakening."

Xiao Weiqing asked again, "Senior, how do I know it was me who killed the demon? How do I know how much contribution I made?"

"The demon race is an advanced civilization just like ours, and they also have something to represent their identity, a kind of medal with the totem of their respective race on it."

"This special medal, once the wearer dies, will bear the mark of the demon race. Bring the medal back and you can exchange it for corresponding contribution points at the military headquarters."

Xiao Weiqing nodded. "I understand."

"Senior Jiang, I have another question." Fei Xiaobao raised his hand.

"explain."

Fei Xiaobao asked, "Once this entrance to the demon realm stabilizes, for example, anchored in a certain location of the demon race for a year or two, won't the demon race launch a large-scale attack on Blue Star once they discover it?"

"That's a good question. Within the Great Xia Dynasty, the No. 3 Demon Realm entrance takes the longest to change its anchorage location, about three months at a time."

"A few years ago, we encountered an Eighth Realm Demon Lord entering Blue Star. The entrance passage immediately became unstable. According to the official assessment of Great Xia, it is currently difficult for powerful demons to enter Blue Star in large numbers."

"Our Luojiang entrance to the Demon Realm is even more vulnerable. Whether we enter the Demon Realm or enter Blue Star from the Demon Realm, only those with strength below the eighth realm can enter and exit without causing turmoil at the entrance."

Jiang Peng's words reassured everyone somewhat.

"But what about later?"

Xiao Weiqing's voice wasn't loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

Yes, what about the future?

Following this trend, Blue Star will inevitably be completely exposed to the gaze of the Demon Realm.

"The only option is to fight to the death!"

Jiang Peng said in a deep voice.

"Where did all those cultural relics come from? Eighty percent of them were destroyed by the demon race. A war with the demon race is unavoidable, and it may even happen in our generation."

Everyone felt immense pressure upon hearing this.

"Remember, when you encounter demons, you must be ruthless and kill them. In the wild, you can easily kill demons of higher levels, but in the demon realm, never have such thoughts."

"If you can't win, run away immediately. Never think about fighting back."

The group asked for more details, and Jiang Peng and Wang Fu answered them one by one, no matter how small. Once they stepped into the demon realm, it would be a completely unfamiliar other world, and the more information they had, the less danger they would be in.

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Woo... Buzz...

A long bugle call sounded, echoing throughout Base 7.

"Come on, it's time."

The students from Luojiang Prefecture followed the crowd to a square.

In the center of the square, a square building lay quietly, its sides measuring over a hundred feet.

now.

Each side of the building has three large doors at its base, all brown in color, and it's unclear what material they're made of.

"This is the entrance to the demon realm? It's so modern?"

"No, the entrance is inside. This building was built later by Luojiang Prefecture as an early warning system, just in case, and also the first line of defense to prevent the demon race from entering Blue Star."

Two minutes later.

All the doors were opened.

An old man, dressed in the battle uniform of the Demon Suppression Army, came out.

"Entrance anchored, no immediate danger from the other side!"

"May you all return victorious!"

"Swish! Swish! Swish!~~"

On the square to Xiao Weiqing's right, a dense mass of demon-suppressing soldiers stood in perfect unison, bowing in unison to the old general who was speaking.

Fei Xiaobao noticed that Qin Tian's expression was a little strange and asked:

"Do you know Qin Tian?"

Qin Tian nodded, "I haven't seen my third grandfather for five years."

The old general's name was Qin Shouyi, an eighth-level expert. He had been guarding this place ever since the entrance to the Demon Realm appeared, and had never left.

Tap~ Tap~ Tap~

The demon-suppressing army entered the black building in perfect unison.

then.

Then it was Xiao Weiqing's turn and the others' turn.

Everyone swiped their wristbands one by one and entered the building.

"Do we need to swipe our wristbands to get in?" someone asked, puzzled.

Jiang Peng said, "It's like a roll call. If you die inside, we'll know immediately."

"..."

Go through the gate.

The stench of blood filled the air, causing many to frown.

The group finally saw the entrance to the Demon Realm, which was similar to the entrance to the No. 1 Civilization Relic, but much larger, resembling a vortex, floating two meters above the ground. However, bloodstains were scattered around the entrance.

Xiao Weiqing's expression was grave. "It seems the Demon Realm is far more dangerous than we imagined."

When the last demon-suppressing soldier disappeared.

At the entrance.

A middle-aged man called out loudly, "Come in!"

Jiang Peng said in a low voice, "Let's go."

Xiao Weiqing easily leaped into the entrance.

"Um?"

The scene changes.

Xiao Weiqing was already in a passage, as if he were in a time machine, with countless photons flying backward.

Ahead were the Demon Suppression Army, and behind them, people kept appearing, including students from other schools and elites from various families.

Inside the passageway.

The group, entering for the first time, looked around curiously.

"Don't run around, don't touch anything, wait quietly," Jiang Peng shouted.

Sudden.

A beam of bright light shone from ahead.

Everyone felt a sudden weightlessness.

They are falling.

"What happened?"
