Source of Ten Thousand Demons
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
Even after being taken to the Main Earth Veins the Demon Race by Ye Ling, Qin Yi still subconsciously lay down on the ground, looking completely uninterested in getting up.
The power of that cultivation posture was so strong that it overshadowed the initial shock of entering the main lineage of the Demon Race.
Lying down like this feels so comfortable. The ground here doesn't seem solid either; it feels just like lying on the carpet at Ye Ling...
Qin Yi lay there, the image of the Fox Clan Legion he had seen when he entered the room flashing through his mind.
As expected, Cheng Cheng's main force was guarding the core of the earth vein, consisting of over thirty Core Condensation Stage foxes, forming an extremely tight defense. Among them, the strongest cultivator was already comparable to Ying Li, making it difficult to maintain Ying Li's claim of being second only to one person.
The effect of unifying the Three Meridians back then was so immediate. Qin Yi was certain that Cheng Cheng didn't have a group of such powerful foxes at her disposal Cheng Cheng then. Otherwise, there would have been no need to set up such a scheme. She could have just set up a trap to lure out those two demon kings and then swarmed them to their deaths.
This group of loyal followers clearly rose to power after the unification of the Three Meridians, reaping greater benefits than others due to their long-term protection of the outer edges of the earth's veins. The overall capabilities of the White Kingdom's citizens also obviously improved significantly, making the subsequent annihilation of Guo Xiao a piece of cake.
Currently, the number of Core Formation demons alone is already greater than the number of Cloud-Soaring cultivators in the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace.
Judging from its continued growth, and with the blessing of Sacred Land like the Kun Peng Purple Mansion, it's not too far off that the Demon City will have a second Myriad Manifestations Great Demon.
It was this rapid growth and vigorous vitality that alerted Qin Yi, leading him to demand that Chengcheng never attack humans in the Cheng Cheng. Now that he had made that promise, Qin Yi no longer worried about how strong the Demon City would be. Given his intention to use this place for cultivation, it seemed better if the Demon City were stronger.
Otherwise, there would be many areas in the Rift Valley that would be too difficult for us to explore.
As for this Main Earth Veins, well...
If the earth veins tested with Ye Ling before were like capillaries, then this Main Earth Veins is like a major artery.
That's right. If nothing unexpected happens, the so-called ley lines are actually the blood of the Kunpeng, the source of the Demon Race's fundamental power.
The blood of the saints transformed into the most fundamental earth vein power of the race, nourishing it for tens of thousands of years without ceasing.
It was almost identical to the Pangu legend that Qin Yi knew, only on a much smaller scale; in essence, they were completely the same. The demonic body transformed into the mountains and rivers of this place, the feathers into city walls, and even the wounds on its body became various dangerous secret caves.
This is the workings of nature.
Of course, now that it has evolved, it is no longer a form with flowing blood. Just like what I felt at Ye Ling's place before, it was just a primitive stone cave, blood-colored, with incomprehensible patterns, engraved with the most ancient meanings.
However, Ye Ling's cave was very small. The Main Earth Veins here seemed to have no boundaries, and the end could not be seen at a glance.
The spiraling energy roared back and forth, like the primal breath of ancient mountains and rivers, the howl of ancient beasts and the oppressive atmosphere that blotted out the sky, stirring up the most violent factors in the blood, causing the blood to surge and making one want to shout to the heavens.
Looking up, it's as if there's a giant dragon in the sky; opening and closing your eyes is like the opening and closing of the sun and moon; exhaling a breath is like a raging wind for thousands of miles; and shaking your body is like the sky collapsing and the earth sinking.
The wilderness is the origin of the Dao, the realm of the Beginning of Heaven and Earth.
In this realm, boundless Demon Power surrounds you, much like how humans absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. The Demon Power here is so dense and vast that it is like an endless sea. No matter how much you absorb from it, you are only scooping up a small spoonful of seawater.
The Spiritual Qi in Qin Yi's usual Huiyang-level cave abode was like a stinking ditch compared to this vast ocean.
The Radiant Sun cave abode is already the most top-tier spiritual mountain treasure land; there aren't many spiritual mountains that can surpass it purely due to the creation of heaven and earth. Qin Yi wondered if any human treasure lands of the same caliber as this Demon City's ley lines existed in the world. If so... could they be in the heavens?
"With this demonic vein, the rise of the Demon Race is only a matter of time." Liusu floated out, stared at the patterns on the blood-red ground for a long, long time, and suddenly laughed, "Back then, Cheng Cheng tricked you for this very reason, didn't she?"
Qin Yi nodded. "That should be true."
When the Demon City was divided into Three Kingdoms, the power of the earth veins was somehow divided into three streams. This division was not simply a matter of quantity becoming three parts, but rather a dilution of quality. There was no longer such a strong concentration of Demon Power, and the entire Demon City declined as a result.
Cheng Cheng Lure the snake out of its hole, using herself as bait to enter the Purple Mansion and keep the Guo King Xiao King outside the Purple Mansion. She then launched a surprise attack on the two countries to seize the earth veins, thus unifying the Three Meridians into one, which is why she is so prosperous at this moment.
This place is merely the core of the earth's ley lines; in reality, the power of the ley lines permeates the entire region, benefiting every demon, not just those who come here. Of course, those who come here will benefit the most...
"So, after all this time, the rise and fall of the Demon City already bears your mark," Liusu said disdainfully. "Qin Yi, you still insist you're not the Demon Empress!"
Qin Yi lay on the ground, remaining silent and irritated.
Actually, it was a bit difficult for him to speak. The Demon Power here was too immense, making him feel somewhat burdened and too lazy to talk much.
As for cultivation, he dared not casually circulate his energy for the time being. After all, he was a human cultivator, and his cultivation was not the same as that of Demon Power. He was afraid of causing problems if he acted rashly. While waiting for Liusu's guidance, he calmly began to talk about this old story.
Liusu stared at the patterns on the ground for a long time before saying, "The demon corpse shouldn't have evolved to this extent. If it had this ability, I would have been killed by it long ago, and it wouldn't have been the one that caused this later... There must have been a large fragment that fell into this place later, causing various effects. It's very likely that the later Demon Calamity are related to this. Another day, when you talk to Cheng Cheng, don't always talk about those trivial matters between men and women. You should ask her about serious matters."
Qin Yi's face turned bright red.
Instead of teasing him, Liusu said seriously, "Why don't human powerhouses come to sweep through the rift valley? Is it just because of the Kun Peng Protection? This pure energy release might scare weaklings, but it won't scare powerhouses above the Formless level, let alone Taiqing. The stronger they are, the less likely they are to sit idly by and watch the possibility of fragments here. There must be some story behind the fact that they have been able to live in peace for so long."
Qin Yi said rather awkwardly, "I wanted to know before, but there just wasn't a suitable opportunity to bring it up. Besides, she might not be willing to tell me. I feel that our relationship... seems close, but it's not really close enough."
Liusu waved her hand dismissively. "She'll tell you everything once you ride her. It's no big deal."
Qin Yi simply ignored the question and asked, "So how do I cultivate now? As usual?"
"You can just lie down."
"Huh?"
"It's all about being comfortable. This isn't cultivation; it doesn't require the Daoist postures of merging with heaven and earth," Liusu laughed. "Did you think Ye Ling was being cute by lying down to cultivate? That's her method of cultivation."
"So it wasn't supposed to be cute?" Qin Yi asked curiously. "Then what about Chenghuang? Will it be on all fours?"
Liusu said disdainfully, "What kind of scene are you imagining?"
"Uh..." Qin Yi out in a cold sweat.
"Didn't you notice that every time you see her in the Fragrant Aroma Hall, she's lying on her side?"
"... I see. I thought it was just the act of listening to songs and watching dances, but it turns out that was also part of her spiritual practice."
"Just circulate your Immortal Martial United Core and cultivate using either of your preferred methods." Liusu looked at the patterns on the ground again and casually said, "You might feel a surge of violence and awaken your wild nature... Don't worry, I'm right here. If things get out of hand, I'll knock you out."
Qin Yi's lips twitched. "This texture is very attractive to you?"
Liusu Su hummed in agreement. "These are Dao patterns."
Qin Yi was startled. "How can Demon Cultivator have Dao patterns?"
"It's not the kind of Dao you're thinking of. It's the Three Thousand Great Daos, the meaning of eternal existence with Heaven and Earth. What's engraved here is... the abode of all living beings, the Source of Ten Thousand Demons." Liusu smiled, "I'm thinking about how my physical body came to be. Maybe I can get some clues from here."
Qin Yi almost jumped up from the ground.
"Don't get excited..." Liusu's tone was somewhat desolate. "I have no clue right now, and even if I figure it out, it will be... a very, very long time from now."
