As Soft Feather and I finalize our plan to strengthen the tribulation, I can see the excitement in her eyes. But as I reveal our next step, she looks surprised once again.
"After deciding our plan, we need to think about how we will convince enough cultivators to interfere in your tribulation. For starters, we will brute force our way into the headquarters of a certain sect," I say, my voice filled with determination.
Soft Feather's eyes widen in shock. "Whose headquarters are you talking about?" she asks.
I take a deep breath before answering. "The Limitless Demon Sect," I say, my voice firm.
Soft Feather looks at me in disbelief. "The Limitless Demon Sect? That's impossible! They are one of the most powerful and feared sects in the current cultivation world. Even the Ruism lineage would think twice before facing them."
I smile at her. "With my strength, there's nothing to fear. And besides, they should have long been eliminated, in my opinion."
After all, the only reason the Heavenly Court in the past still let them exist is because of fear that numerous even more evil demonic sects would rise from the ashes of the demonic giant, after it gets completely gets destroyed. Like the demon sect they are, they naturally ensure that no other demon sect can rise above a certain power level, even if that means secretly leaking information to the righteous faction. Most of the time, they however turn them into a subsidiary force of their own, after implanting their leaders with a slave seal.
Soft Feather looks at me with a mixture of fear and excitement. "But how do we 'convince' them to interfere in my tribulation?"
"We'll make them an 'offer' they can't refuse," I say with a smirk.
During this time I also decided, since we will face the Limitless Demon Sect either way, why not kidnap one of their Venerables instead of many disciples. After all, they will be among the first to jump at us to try to stop us, while their disciples will go into hiding.
With our plan in place, I waste no time in utilizing my space powers to locate the True Headquarters of the Limitless Demon Sect - the Demon Emperor Palace. Soft Feather looks at me in awe as I focus my energy, my eyes glowing with a faint blue light as I delve into the depths of space and time to locate our target.
After a few moments of intense concentration, I finally locate the Demon Emperor Palace. The palace is hidden deep within a mountain range, surrounded by dark clouds and an eerie mist that seems to repel any who approach it. Despite its ominous appearance, I am confident that I can breach its defenses with ease.
I turn to Soft Feather, a determined look on my face. "We've located their headquarters. Now it's time to take action." Soft Feather nods, her eyes gleaming with excitement as she prepares for what is sure to be a perilous mission.
"We need to be careful," I caution her. "The Limitless Demon Sect is not to be underestimated. They will put up a fierce fight to protect their territory." Well this warning is mostly for Soft Feather, because for me, they are no threat to begin with.
Soft Feather nods again, her expression serious as she braces herself for what's to come.
I turn to Soft Feather and tell her with a serious tone, "Soft Feather, the Demon Emperor Palace is actually not too far away from here. It's located in the mountains just a few hours from our current location. I think we should go for a frontal invasion instead of trying to sneak in. With my strength we shouldn't have to worry about any resistance."
Soft Feather's eyes widen in excitement at the mention of a frontal invasion. She loves extreme things, and this plan seems to satisfy her thirst for adventure. "Wow! That sounds so thrilling and dangerous! I love it! Let's do it!" she exclaims, her face lighting up with excitement.
I can't help but smile at Soft Feather's reaction. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and it gives me confidence in our plan. "Yes, let's do it. We'll use my Living Item, the World Destruction Weapon, in its Sword form as our flying sword to take us there. It's one of the fastest and most powerful weapons out there, and with it, we can get to the Demon Emperor Palace quickly and easily."
Soft Feather and I board the living weapon, and it takes off into the air, soaring towards our destination. The wind rushes past us as we speed towards our target, the World Destruction Weapon leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.
We make our way towards the mountains, and as we approach the Demon Emperor Palace, I can feel the demonic energy emanating from within. But I am undeterred and ready to face whatever lies ahead. With Soft Feather by my side, and my own power, I am confident that we can overcome any obstacle that comes our way.
As we fly through the air, Soft Feather grips onto me tightly, excitement filling her eyes. With her arms wrapped tightly around me, her body presses against mine as she leans in closer, her breath warm on my neck, clearly a little nervous. I place a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Soft Feather. We'll make it there safely."
I can feel her excitement radiating off of her as we fly towards the Demon Emperor Palace. Soft Feather's body presses against mine, and I can't help but notice the way her curves fit perfectly against me. As we fly closer, she grips onto me even tighter, her breasts pressing against my back.
I take a deep breath, preparing myself for what's to come. The Demon Emperor Palace is within sight, and we're about to engage in the battle of our lives. But I'm ready for it. I'm ready to do whatever it takes to help Soft Feather become the First Sage in a Thousand Years.
As we draw closer to the Demon Emperor Palace, the structure looms larger and larger, until it fills our entire field of vision. The first thing that strikes me is the sheer size of the palace - it's as large as a medium-sized city. The Palace is massive, towering over the surrounding landscape like a dark, ominous fortress. The walls are made of black stone, adorned with red demonic symbols and spikes, giving it a foreboding appearance. The palace is surrounded by a moat filled with a bubbling, red liquid that seems to be emitting an eerie glow.
As we approach even closer, we can see the main palace itself rising up behind the myriad small palaces surrounding it. The structure is built in a sprawling, chaotic fashion, with towers and turrets jutting out at all angles, as if the architects were trying to create a structure that was as confusing and labyrinthine as possible. The entire palace is made of the same dark stone as the walls, giving it a foreboding and ominous appearance.
Even from this distance, we can see the movement of guards patrolling along the walls. The air around the palace feels heavy and oppressive, as if it's filled with the very essence of evil itself. It's clear that the Demon Emperor Palace is a place where only the most depraved and ruthless individuals could feel at home, and the thought of going up against them sends shivers down my spine.
The gates to the Palace are made of dark metal, wrought with intricate carvings of demons and monsters. The gates are wide open, as if welcoming us into the lair of the demons.
As we enter the vicinity of the Palace, we see rooms filled with demonic artifacts and torture devices standing everywhere. We come across cages filled with screaming victims, their bodies twisted and mutilated.
