Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Also, Young Master Chu, if you don't annihilate Karura Heaven, I won't be able to leave the Starry Sky Domain with peace of mind to help you find the World Magic Tree," Li Ji added.

"Alright, I get it," Chu Qin smiled faintly, "So you mean to say that if I destroy Karura Heaven, you can take me to find the World Magic Tree, right?"

"Yes, a promise is a promise, and no amount of horses could catch me breaking it!" Li Ji said, patting her ample chest as a guarantee, "When Li Ji gives her word, she sticks to it."

"However, if I do destroy Karura Heaven, apart from taking us to find the World Magic Tree, you must also agree to one more condition," Chu Qin continued.

"Another one? What condition?" Li Ji asked.

"I'll keep it to myself for now. Do you agree or not?" Chu Qin said with a smile, "After all, even obliterating Karura Heaven will take a considerable amount of effort."

"Hmm... okay!" Li Ji paused and then nodded, "Since the Starry Sky Domain has to hide beneath Looking North Mountain because of me, if you can rid us of this calamity, I'll agree to any one condition you have, so long as it's within my abilities!"

Chu Qin smiled indifferently and held out his hand, "Let's shake on it then!"

"Alright!" Li Ji nodded her head and reached out her delicate hand to slap against Chu Qin's palm.

"What a comfortable palm!" At that moment, Li Ji exclaimed in surprise. Chu Qin's palm was even more tender than a woman's, yet it was so strong and firm.

"Then you two catch up first," Chu Qin said with a light smile, "I'll go find Jiu Yin and ask about the situation in Devil's City."

"Goodbye, Young Master Chu!" Luo Tianyong immediately waved at Chu Qin.

"Hmm!" Chu Qin replied with a gentle, refined smile.

At that moment, Li Ji's heart fluttered!

The gentle and modest gentleman was exactly whom she had been searching for deep inside, and it seemed she had truly found him.

Chu Qin's smile seemed to have completely captivated her.

But Li Ji quickly contained her infatuated smile, after all, Luo Tianyong was still nearby.

However, when Li Ji turned around, she saw that Luo Tianyong's expression was even more intoxicated than her own.

"Hey, Tianyong, you couldn't have fallen for Young Master Chu, could you?" Li Ji asked, straightforwardly.

"Not at all!" Luo Tianyong immediately woke from his reverie and responded.

"Good to hear," Li Ji said with a smile, "Tianyong, while he may indeed be charming and refined, enough to be called the most handsome man in Infinite Heavens, he has many women after him, a true playboy. Such a person is not to be followed!"

"I've already said no," Luo Tianyong gave Li Ji a slight glance, "Even if I wanted to, Young Master Chu might not even take a second look at me."

"It seems you really have fallen for Young Master Chu," Li Ji said with a giggle, covering her mouth, "Then you should just confess."

"Not at all!" Luo Tianyong turned his head, his face turning slightly red.

"Who are you trying to kid? I know all about your little crush," Li Ji laughed heartily, "If you don't admit it, then I might as well just divine it!"

Luo Tianyong quickly stopped Li Ji, saying, "You win, I admit it, I like Young Master Chu. But I've only known him for a short time, and besides, I don't understand his feelings at all. What if I fail?"

"Failure is the mother of success," Li Ji optimistically replied, "If you fail, then try again..."

"Let me think about it," Luo Tianyong said, staring in the direction of Chu Qin's departure, lost in thought.

Chu Qin was unaware of the conversation that followed between Li Ji and Luo Tianyong, and he soon found Jiu Yin.

As a soul, Jiu Yin was also capable of absorbing some of the power from the Cosmic Energy Core, so Chu Qin had her stay together with the other women.

At this time, Chu Qin called out Jiu Yin and relayed to her every word that Li Ji had said exactly as it was told.

"Really, the World Tree is in Devil's City?" Jiu Yin's three dragon heads displayed a complex array of emotions, a mix of shock, joy, and concern.

"What's with that expression of yours?" Chu Qin couldn't help but frown.

"After so many years, to finally know the whereabouts of the World Tree, I might even find my physical body again, of course, I'm very happy," Jiu Yin replied. "But Chu Qin, do you know what kind of place Devil's City is?"

"It's not like that Seven Hells Demon Tower, a forbidden area for your Demon Race, is it?" Chu Qin asked indifferently.

"You are half right, Devil's City is indeed a Demon Race forbidden area, and moreover, it's a Demon Ancestor-level forbidden area!" Jiu Yin explained, "That Devil Xie, who Li Ji mentioned, is one of the most ferocious among the Twenty-Four Devil Ancestors of the Demonic Path. All the forbidden arts of the Demon Race came from his hands. Legend has it that he died of meditation in his place of origin, Devil's City, leaving behind his most ferocious and evil powers. This made the demons and creatures within Devil's City not only more powerful but also exceedingly savage and unpredictable, to the point where even the people of Great Thousand Buddha Nation and Infinite Immortal Domain dare not step foot inside! Therefore, some desperate demons choose to enter Devil's City, where their spiritual sensibilities are extinguished, becoming true evil demons!"

"You can't be serious, you're the Demon Race Supreme. Are you afraid of your own kind?" Chu Qin showed no significant surprise.

"Even at my peak, I would not dare to enter Devil's City, fearing the demons inside, especially the leader of Devil's City, a Demon Emperor whose strength is not inferior to mine. Secondly, I fear completely falling into darkness myself!" replied Jiu Yin.

"So, we're not going?" Chu Qin asked with a smile.

"It's too dangerous, Chu Qin. Actually, the way I am now isn't too bad. It's too risky. Why don't we wait until your strength has greatly increased, and then we can go?" Jiu Yin shook her head.

"Ding! Goddess Mission released, Goddess Mission, obtain the Heart of the Magic Beast, rewards: hundred percent favorability from the Demon Abyss Empress, Imperial Venerate level mount: Demon Emperor Ripper!"

"Demon Abyss Empress, Imperial Venerate level mount!" Chu Qin's pupils shrank with realization.

"Yes. The leader of Devil's City, Demon Abyss Empress, is an Imperial Venerate level powerhouse! Wait, Chu Qin, how did you know about the Demon Abyss Empress?" Jiu Yin said, suddenly filled with surprise.

"Jiu Yin," Chu Qin said with a calm smile, "let's go!"

"Ah? Why?" Jiu Yin asked, somewhat bewildered.

"There is no why," Chu Qin replied. "Jiu Yin, I once promised you that I would definitely help you find your physical body. Am I, Chu Qin, someone who goes back on his word?"

Chu Qin meant every word; even without the System's mission, he would have certainly helped Jiu Yin obtain her body!

"Chu Qin, are you really going to go?" asked Jiu Yin, somewhat moved.

"Yes!" Chu Qin nodded.

"Alright then," Jiu Yin said with a smile. "But before we enter Devil's City, we need to go to one place!"

"Where?" asked Chu Qin.

"Azure Cloud Divine Mountain," Jiu Yin replied. "It's the territory of the Earth Immortal Sect's Azure Cloud Sovereign. He has a kind of medicine that, when consumed, can resist the demonic miasma erosion in Devil's City."

"Earth Immortal Sect? Where have I heard that before?" Chu Qin raised an eyebrow slightly.

"You've forgotten, I once had you pose as a member of the Earth Immortal Sect," Jiu Yin said with a smile.

"That's right! The Earth Immortal Sect is that power that cultivates in gods, demons, the path, and Buddha," Chu Qin recalled. "But will he give us the medicine?"

"Don't worry, I once saved Azure Cloud Sovereign's life; she will definitely give us the medicine!" Jiu Yin stated confidently.

"Good, once we get to Azure Cloud Divine Mountain, I'll leave it to you," Chu Qin said with a smile, nodding his head.
