Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 659 Hierarchy and Superiority
Just as Lin Feng was carrying the token and rushing towards the Floating City, Hong Yi had already arrived at the Floating City first, thanks to the "Void Gate".

This treatment is indeed somewhat unfair. If Lin Feng knew, he would probably complain about it in secret.

This shows that King Lingtian valued Hongyi highly.

Gently flapping his spiritual wings, Hong Yi floated above the city, his eyes revealing a hint of curiosity.

This is a city suspended in mid-air, the entire city shrouded in a barrier.

Beneath the city lies a dense thicket of thorns and brambles.

The buildings beneath her feet were quite strange, including courtyards in the style of the East, classical castles in the West, and temples resembling those of ancient Greece.

"Even the pyramids are there!"

Hong Yi even discovered a pyramid fifty or sixty meters high, shimmering with a hazy light in the sunlight.

"The Floating City has a population of over 80,000. The residents come from all over the world, representing various races and speaking different languages. The architectural styles within the city are also incredibly diverse, appearing quite chaotic. The culture here is very free, so you might find it a bit unusual when you first arrive," Qi Jin explained, looking down into the underground.

Hong Yi nodded slightly, suppressing the curiosity in his eyes.

As she was about to become an apostle, she could not be as naive as a child.

The new environment made Hong Yi feel uneasy, but it also temporarily dispelled the sadness of leaving home.

The appearance of Hong Yi and his companion attracted the attention of many people, with some noticing that they had emerged from a spatial portal.

From this, we can be certain that the two are important figures in the Pure Land.

In the Floating City, the Pure Land is the sole ruler. The city appears free, and any kind of architecture and culture can coexist, but only if it operates according to the order established by the Pure Land.

"Is that Qi Jin?"

Someone recognized Qi Jin's identity.

Although he was not an apostle, Ling Tianwang's son was a big shot in the Floating City, so it was not surprising that he was recognized.

Moreover, the residents of the Floating City are more or less related to the apostles and the Heavenly King.

What truly piqued people's curiosity was the girl beside him, dressed in black and wearing a hood that covered most of her face.

What is the identity of this girl who can command such respect from Qi Jin?
"Who is this girl? Qi Jin's girlfriend?"

"I haven't heard that Qi Jin has a girlfriend. She doesn't seem like it."

"It looks like Hong Yi from the Avengers."

"Hong Yi is here?"

"Did the medium come? Is it real?"

Hong Yi's arrival caused an uproar.

With Hong Yi joining the Avengers, her fame spread all over the world, and she became very popular.

It can be said that he is the most popular one besides Lin Feng and Yun Kai.

Hong Yi is naturally cute, with double eyelids, big eyes, short legs, and a slightly chubby round face, making him very endearing. His pair of jet-black eye circles, while a bit odd, actually give him a slightly goofy and adorable look after a while.

With his adorable appearance, ranking among the top monks, terrifying potential, and pitiful experiences, his popularity surpasses even that of Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi.

Like Lin Feng, it's no secret to the residents of the Floating City that Hong Yi might come to the Pure Land and become an apostle.

All news from the Pure Land is a hot topic of discussion among the residents of the Suspended City.

Moreover, not long ago, Hong Yi had attracted the attention of many top stars.

Lin Feng didn't even receive this kind of treatment.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qi Jin led Hong Yi towards the center of the floating city, towards a temple that also floated in mid-air and resembled an ancient Greek style.

As the two landed, many people came forward, men and women, young and old. The way they looked at Hong Yi varied: curiosity, envy, jealousy, indifference, hostility, and dislike. But without exception, they all bowed to Hong Yi and said, "Greetings, Apostle."

As for Qi Jin, he was ignored; those who knew him at most just nodded at him.

Qi Jin didn't pay any attention to this.

In the Pure Land, the Twelve Heavenly Kings are the most revered and supreme, followed by the Twenty-Four Apostles. Even if he is the son of a Heavenly King, so what?

In Pure Land Buddhism, the hierarchy is very strict.

Today, he brought Hong Yi to the Floating City, so there was no need for formalities. In the future, if he encounters Hong Yi, he will have to bow and pay his respects.

"Hello." Hong Yi greeted them somewhat shyly. This was the first time she had ever felt this way, and she was quite unaccustomed to it, but to be honest, she also enjoyed it a little.

However, she soon realized that although everyone bowed to her, there was not much respect or fear in their eyes.

There are quite a few people who disagree.

Some of their gazes were not friendly.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the Spirit King."

Qi Jin gave Hong Yi a look, and Hong Yi, though seemingly calm, hurriedly followed after her.

Along the way, they encountered many people. When Hong Yi passed by, they all stopped and bowed. Only when no one was around did Qi Jin remind them, "In the Pure Land, the Heavenly King is the highest, followed by the Apostles, and then the Heavenly Soldiers. The hierarchy is very strict, and no one can overstep this hierarchy. Those people just now were all Heavenly Soldiers. Their status is lower than yours, so they had to bow to you, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't dare to attack you."

"What do you mean?"

Hong Yi asked, "Given the strict hierarchy, why did you dare to attack her?"

Qi Jin explained, "In the Pure Land, at any time, an apostle can challenge a Heavenly King, and a Heavenly Soldier can also challenge an apostle. The winner takes the place of the loser. As for the fate of the loser, it is decided by the Heavenly King or the apostle. To prevent anyone from continuing to challenge me in the future, nine out of ten challengers will die!"

After a slight pause, Qi Jin continued to explain, "The treatment of apostles is very attractive. Every few years, there are examples of apostles being defeated by heavenly soldiers and replaced. Of course, those heavenly soldiers do not dare to challenge apostles easily, after all, if they fail to challenge them, the outcome is likely to be death."

Hong Yi nodded, feeling considerable pressure, finally understanding the source of his previous malice.

This supposedly sacred place is indeed quite insane. There is no trust here, and you have to be constantly on guard against being ambushed or assassinated.

This rule was clearly set up intentionally by the Heavenly King.

Seeing Hong Yi remain silent, Qi Jin smiled and said, "You don't need to worry too much. Apostles have a one-year privilege period. No one can challenge you within a year. After a year, I'm afraid no one will dare to challenge you."

He was all too aware of the potential and power of the medium.

Given a few years, I doubt many of the twenty-four apostles will be a match for her.

Even decades from now, he may still have a chance to become a superstar.

"It's so enviable!"

Qi Jin sighed inwardly, and a strange glint flashed in his eyes as he glanced at Hong Yi.

Five minutes later, Hong Yi met Ling Tianwang.

An ordinary-looking middle-aged man with an Asian face, dark skin, and a full beard, he didn't have the aura of a superstar; instead, he looked more like a worker.

"Greetings, Spirit King."

Hong Yi followed Qi Jin's example and knelt down to pay his respects.

Although it's not something I'm used to, facing an emperor isn't really a humiliation.

Even though he felt humiliated, Hong Yi knew he had to bow his head when he was under someone else's roof, so he was still quite sensible.

To the right of the Spirit King was a tall, thin young man dressed in blue. He had fair skin and narrow eyes, which gave him a somewhat sinister look.

When Hong Yi arrived, his eyes were constantly watching her.

"Get up. You are an apostle. A simple bow is enough."

"The Heavenly King Ling said with a smile."

Hong Yi stood up, while Qi Jin remained kneeling on the ground.

"You should get up too."

Ling Tianwang spoke calmly, his tone somewhat cold. Only then did Qi Jin stand up and stand behind Hong Yi.

Ling Tianwang slowly approached Hong Yi. Under Hong Yi's slightly nervous gaze, Ling Tianwang reached out and pressed on his abdomen. The next moment, Hong Yi lost consciousness.

When darkness falls.
"hey-hey."

With a deafening, sinister laugh, a colossal figure suddenly appeared, its body shrouded in swirling sand, the yellow sand swirling in the wind.

As it grinned menacingly, fine sand continuously fell from its body.

It does resemble a fox in appearance, but it is much more ferocious. It is golden all over, stands thirteen or fourteen meters tall, has a stout body, a pointed snout, triangular ears, and thick, short limbs. Its body is covered with strange violet patterns, and its face has large black spots that cover its eyes.

Inside the enormous eye was pitch black, with a golden pupil that exuded terrifying killing intent. On its chest, sand swirled and caved in, gradually revealing a head, and then a body, which emerged bit by bit.

The novice monk ignored Hong Yi and instead looked down at the Spirit King underground, his eyes showing some surprise as he asked, "It's you? How did you get involved with Hong Yi?"

The Heavenly King looked up, a hint of emotion in his voice, and said, "Long time no see!"
