I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!

Chapter 322: This Marquis Is Leaving, No Need to See Me Off!



As summer arrived, sunlight shone brightly in Kyoto Prefecture.

But in and around Beixiong Pass, built in the canyon north of Beizhi and spanning dozens of miles to resist the Demon Court, it was still shrouded in gloomy clouds, with the wind and snow howling.

Even if the sun shone brightly a hundred miles to the south, raising the temperature slightly, it was still impossible to bring warmth to Beixiong Pass.

Chen Yi stood shoulder to shoulder with Hua Xianzi amidst the clouds above Beixiong Pass, his combed black hair gently fluttering, and his Martial Marquis Purple Robe flapping loudly in the cold wind.

Beside him, Hua Xianzi, with her body brimming with True Yuan, resisted the wind and snow without any discomfort. Her bright and crystal-clear eyes shifted from Chen Yi to curiously survey the below Beixiong Pass and the misty Ten Thousand Mountains covered in white snow in the distance.

"Senior brother, so this is Beixiong Pass. It truly is as majestic as the sect's classics depict."

Hua Xianzi looked inside the pass. Even though the sky was dim under the clouds and the wind and snow were turbulent, the Taishan Army soldiers on duty never idle. Instead, they were shirtless, training in Martial Arts in the expansive Martial Arts Arena.

Some practiced fist techniques, some wielded swords, guns, and clubs, while others tempered their physical bodies. Despite their lower cultivation, their bodies were filled with blood energy and their True Yuan was thick.

Surrounding these soldiers were various enclosed regions like workshops, armories, and medical halls.

Even the artisans or pill masters were as busy as the soldiers, the entire Beixiong Pass with its hundreds of thousands of people was almost devoid of anyone idle.

Chen Yi nodded slightly, a smile on his face, "This storied stronghold that has stood for over a thousand years naturally has its own unique charm. Not just Beixiong Pass, but also there—"

Following the direction of his finger, Hua Xianzi gazed out. Her eyes beheld a whirlwind of wind and snow, large goose feather-like snowflakes densely packed, obscuring her vision. However, in her eyes, she could spot tiny black dots the size of ants moving continuously on the ridges of the distant Ten Thousand Mountains.

It was the swarm of little demons on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

"So many."

"Just within three thousand miles of the outer perimeter of the Ten Thousand Mountains, there are no less than a million demon forces," Chen Yi's smile withdrew as he watched those patrolling little demons and said:

"They are mostly driven from the inner regions by the Great Demon Kings of the Demon Court. According to Demon Court's rules, all new demons born in various fortresses or cave mansions will have their talents assessed. Those found lacking talent are sent to the outskirts to vie for the scarce so-called 'Dragon Gate'."

Hua Xianzi's eyes widened slightly as she recalled Chen Yi previously explaining the Dragon Gate to her and said in surprise, "So in the end, out of these million little demons... less than one in ten survive?"

Chen Yi neither denied nor confirmed, "In the eyes of those Great Demon Kings of the Demon Court, even if only ten thousand of the million little demons survive, they consider it profitable."

"These surviving little demons will be given focused training, continuously fed by the demon blood cores of those who perished outside Beixiong Pass until their cultivation reaches the Fifth Grade Realm. Then, they are transferred to the inner fortresses or cave mansions, where the demon kings and demon generals further exploit them."

"It can be said that within these Ten Thousand Mountains, the law of the jungle is the most fundamental rule for survival, and almost all demon kings and demon generals who have risen through the ranks have done so by stepping over mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

"..."

Imagining such a bloody scene, Hua Xianzi suddenly felt somewhat breathless, "If they were to break through Beixiong Pass..."

"That day will never come!" Chen Yi snorted, "They wish to break through Beixiong Pass and harm the people of the Great Wei Dynasty? Not a chance!"

Seeing his expression harden slightly, Hua Xianzi could not help but smile, "I believe in you, senior brother."

Chen Yi paused and turned his head to meet her eyes, his face also displaying a hint of a smile.

"Let's go, there isn't much time left until the third round of the grand contest, we need to hurry."

"Senior brother, you still haven't told me what we're... doing at the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"To capture some Little Demon Kings for you to broaden your horizons."

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Hua Xianzi recalled how, when she first joined the Grand Void Sect, Xiao Xuanzhen tested them in the same manner.

Back then, had Chen Yi not been the first to strike at the demon, perhaps others would have been too intimidated by the demon's prowess to act, resulting in them being expelled from the Grand Void Sect.

"Senior brother, do you want us to engage in combat with the demons?"

Just as Chen Yi was about to use his Near and Far Divine Power, his smile paused, and he turned to look at Hua Xianzi, saying:

"Junior sister, do you think if those old geezers knew I revealed the contest topic to you, they would be displeased?"

"..."

Hua Xianzi's exquisite face tensed up, "Then, then I'll return to Kyoto Prefecture first..."

"Just kidding," Chen Yi found her expression adorable and laughed heartily, grasping her hand, saying:

"Follow me, and don't worry, whether you're participating in the competition prepared by the Huangshan Taoist of the Qimen lineage or even in Martial Arts contests, your cultivation and techniques are not weaker than those of other geniuses."

Before he finished speaking, he took a single step, bringing Hua Xianzi directly to a place five thousand miles within the outer perimeter of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Taking a glance around, Sword Intent spread out, pinpointing the locations of several Third Grade Realm demon generals and even further, there were two Second Grade Heavenly Union Realm demon kings.

And when Slaughter Sword Intent extended to a range of ten thousand miles, even the First-grade Void Extreme Realm demon kings hidden within fortresses and cave mansions clearly appeared in his mind.

Moments later.

Chen Yi released Hua Xianzi's hand, deploying a few strands of Slaughter Sword Intent around her with a wave of his sleeve for protection.

"Rest here for a moment, junior sister, I'll be back shortly."
