Chapter 1373: Boundless Snow
Figures like the Boundless True Demon King were still far beyond Su Jingzhen’s current reach.
At this stage, he had no intention of confronting such beings.
By shifting the conversation to the younger generation, he hoped to glean information about Yunmeng Goddess from Jin Zhongbao and his group.
Hearing this, Jin Zhongbao nodded without suspicion and continued, "The Boundless Demon Realm boasts no shortage of young geniuses. Within the Boundless Demon Sect alone, dozens of talents have made names for themselves.
The holy sons and daughters of sects like the Yin Wind Demon Sect and Bone Demon Sect are also standout figures of their generation.
Many have reached the high stages of the Demon Sage Realm or even the Demon General Realm at a young age. The Boundless Demon Realm’s future is bright, and its younger generation doesn’t seem to lag behind the Demon God Realm in the slightest."
After a pause, Jin Zhongbao added, "Of course, the most dazzling among them is undoubtedly the current holy daughter of the Boundless Demon Sect—Boundless Snow!"
At this name, Su Jingzhen’s heart trembled.
As his thoughts raced, Jin Zhongbao went on, "Holy Daughter Boundless Snow is only a thousand years old, yet she’s already at the Demon General Realm. Rumors say she has numerous avatars she’s recalling, deepening her foundation.
She’s even expected to become the first Demon King among the younger generation. Such talent is truly unimaginable."
As Jin Zhongbao spoke with admiration, Su Jingzhen’s heart trembled again.
The first Demon King among the younger generation?
He hadn’t realized the gap between them had widened so much.
"Still, she took the entire Qingzhou land with her when she left. Surely she wouldn’t harm Qingya and Yuebai, right?"
This thought sparked a pang of worry in Su Jingzhen.
Though he could now face most Demon General Realm experts fearlessly, thanks to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, defeating Boundless Snow seemed daunting even with all his strength.
After a moment’s reflection, a playful smile returned to his lips.
He looked at Jin Zhongbao and asked, "Is Boundless Snow married? Do I stand a chance?"
The question caught everyone off guard.
They hadn’t expected Su Jingzhen’s thoughts to leap so abruptly.
What kind of question was this?
Still, needing to maintain a good relationship with him, Jin Zhongbao and his group hid their disdain and replied with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Su, you’re indeed a dragon among men. Though the Moluo Realm is weaker among the nine major realms, your demeanor outshines most young talents in the Boundless Demon Realm. If Boundless Snow ever considers marriage, you certainly have a chance."
Even in flattery, Jin Zhongbao could only cautiously suggest a possibility.
"Hahaha, I’ll take that as a blessing. On this trip to the Boundless Demon Realm, I intend to meet Boundless Snow. If possible, I hope you can help arrange it."
Su Jingzhen’s words carried layers of meaning. While he seemed to jest about his prospects, his true aim was to leverage the realm merchants’ connections to approach her.
Jin Zhongbao’s expression twitched.
He wanted to distance himself, but the adage “if you take someone’s hand, you can’t easily let go” held true. The realm merchants had profited greatly from Su Jingzhen’s eight Demon General Realm spirit tools.
Reluctantly, he replied, "I can only say I’ll try. But Fellow Daoist Su, don’t set your hopes too high."
As they chatted, the cross-realm warship suddenly shuddered.
Jin Zhongbao explained, "We’re setting off. The journey between realms involves navigating chaotic void currents and overlapping spaces. We might even stop in some desolate space along the way. The trip will take about an hour."
Though the major realms were linked, the distances were vast. An hour’s travel was impressive for this warship.
During the voyage, Su Jingzhen kept talking with Jin Zhongbao and his group.
The conversation flowed lively, and he learned much about the Boundless Demon Realm and its sect.
The more he heard about Boundless Snow, the more anxious and worried he grew.
To Jin Zhongbao and his group, she was a cold, ruthless war goddess, devoid of sentimentality.
"Will such a ruthless person recall past affections? Will her avatars’ personalities affect her true self? If there’s no influence, those from Qingzhou who followed her might not be hostages or bargaining chips—they could be here to erase her traces in the immortal realm. If so, wouldn’t Yuebai and Qingya be in danger?"
This thought weighed heavily on Su Jingzhen.
He instinctively checked his attribute panel.
Seeing that Luo Yuebai’s and Feng Qingya’s sub-panels remained stable, he sighed in slight relief.
As long as those sub-panels existed, they were alive and well.
An hour passed in a flash.
The warship shuddered again and steadied at the port.
This was now the Boundless Demon Realm.
Passengers disembarked in orderly fashion.
Though Su Jingzhen’s heart grew more complex, his expression stayed calm and carefree.
He maintained the air of a playful rogue, eyes brimming with anticipation, as if eager to meet Boundless Snow.
"This guy’s way too confident. A few setbacks in the Boundless Demon Realm might ground him. It’s not the Moluo Realm, after all."
Seeing his demeanor, Jin Zhongbao and the others muttered inwardly.
"Fellow Daoist Su, follow me. The port here is also a grand city, Blood Demon City. It’s much like the City of Chaos in the Moluo Realm and will give you a taste of the Boundless Demon Realm’s customs."
As he spoke, Su Jingzhen followed Jin Zhongbao and his group off the ship.
On the gangway, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure below.
"That figure looks so familiar…"
Muttering to himself, Su Jingzhen quickened his pace toward it.
