In a different part of the demon city, inside one of the rooms in a towering mansion, a demon that was about two meters tall can be seen looking outside the window. The demon's blood-red pupils contracted as he peered deeply into the distance.

This demon's body was covered in black armor-like scales and even the demon's eyeballs looked as tough as a diamond.

This demon's name was Burlock and he was one of the Demon Lords in Morlon City, the demon city where Jiu Shen was currently in. Burlock was a lot stronger than the other Demon Lords since he was already a peak stage Demon Lord!

Burlock's diamond-like eyes flashed with confusion as he stared at the horizon.

"Why is that area a lot brighter than before?" Burlock muttered with uncertainty. He has been in Morlon City for hundreds of years and he knew everything about the city like the back of his hands, so he was puzzled by the sudden change in one of the places outside.

"Could it be... someone is celebrating there? Hmph! They dare organize an event in my territory without my permission?! Preposterous!" Burlock lashed out. He then strode outside his room with a dark expression. Each step he took shook the mansion, scaring the demons serving him.

"A Spirit Gathering Array Formation was actually inscribed here. This made the true essence in this part of the store even more abundant. If one cultivates here, their cultivation speed would be a lot faster than normal." Jiu Shen was also an Array Formation Maker in his past life. Although he did not study this occupation seriously, he still reached a high level in it, so when he saw the Spirit Gathering Array inscribed on the second floor, he immediately identified it.

The Spirit Gathering Array that Jiu Shen had mentioned was an Array Formation that can augment the amount of true essence in a specific place. This array formation was used by notable clans and sects to make the cultivation speed of their juniors faster.

The space inside the second floor was also large and it could accommodate more than a hundred customers as well, and from the looks of it, this place would certainly be famous in Morlon City in just a matter of time.

"System, is there also a requirement for the access of the second floor in this branch?" Jiu Shen asked.

Ding!

"Host, only Nascent God Realm experts are allowed to step inside the second floor, but they can only remain for a maximum of two hours. As for VIP cardholders, they can go inside without limit." The system answered mechanically.

After getting the system's answer, Jiu Shen did not linger for long on the second floor. He went to the topmost floor of the lotus building and was surprised.

"I thought that this place was meant for the store's workers... Then why is this..." When Jiu Shen went inside the third floor, he discovered that there weren't any rooms meant for the workers, instead, the third floor was a vast space with a huge battle ring at the center.

Looking at this ring, Jiu Shen furrowed his eyebrows.

Ding!

"Host, this is the store's Divine Battle Arena. The host can unlock this floor after accumulating enough True Crystals or Blood Stones. As of the moment, the host is still not permitted to open this part of the store to the public.

"A Battle Arena? What benefits would this battle arena provide to my customers if they spar here?" Jiu Shen asked curiously.

Ding!

"The winning participants would receive bountiful rewards. As for the rewards, the host will have to provide them. Aside from the host's rewards, the winning participants would also be rewarded with God Crystals." The system answered coldly.

"I see." Jiu Shen could already imagine the storm that this battle arena would cause once it goes into public. God Crystal was a precious resource that could enhance one's cultivation without any backlash. A single God Crystal was already precious in the eyes of inhabitants in the Primordial God Realm, how much more the mortals of Nuar?

After learning that the third floor was still unavailable, Jiu Shen went back to the first floor.

"Where am I supposed to rest in this place?" He frowned.

Ding!

"Host, there is a basement in this store." The system suddenly said.

"Basement?" Jiu Shen raised his eyebrows in surprise and he immediately used his spiritual power to peer towards the wooden floor. His spiritual sight penetrated the wooden floor and he discovered that there was indeed a basement below.

Without hesitation, Jiu Shen searched for the door towards the basement and he swiftly went downstairs.

"Not bad. The rooms here are also much better." Jiu Shen nodded his head contentedly. He then moved his line of sight towards the furthest room in the basement. This room was significantly larger than the others and Jiu Shen was sure that it was meant for him.

Burlock's expression changed when he saw an unfamiliar lotus flower ahead of him. This lotus flower was azure in color and it was so huge that he had to raise his head slightly to see its tip.

"What the hell is this thing? I don't recall this being here. Strange. Wait. It is fenced? This place. This is not a real lotus, but a building?!" Burlock's eyes widened upon discovering that the huge blooming azure lotus in front of him was actually a building. If it was not for his impressive eyesight, it would have taken him longer to see the truth about this lotus building.

"Who could create such an impressive building here without everyone's notice? Perhaps he might be a Demon Ancestor..." Thinking about that, Burlock's gaze went cold. This was his territory and he did not want anybody to claim it without his permission, but if the owner of this lotus building was indeed a Demon Ancestor, then things might not be easy for him.

"No matter what, this is still my territory! Whoever this person is, he must give me an explanation for this intrusion! If worst comes to worst, I can ask for Demon Ancestor Jun's help to punish this fellow! Hmph!" Burlock muttered angrily.
