Teng Snake's Wrath (Fake)

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

There are some areas near the Demon City that are not ancient remnants, but rather the burial grounds of the Demon Race ancestors over the years. Some things were buried there, and there are likely many records left behind. This is also the focus of Cheng Cheng's strategy.

This is very close to the significance of human archaeology.

The secret cave Cheng Cheng is exploring is called the Heartless Cave, located thirty miles northeast of the former Guo Country. It is the burial place of an ancestor from before the Demon City split apart. According to some records from the former Guo Country's palace, the ancestors here also possessed some secret techniques similar to the Soaring Serpent's terror. Cheng Cheng plans to use this as a stepping stone to understand the nature of these secret techniques before exploring the Teng Snake Remnant Soul.

So it does indeed belong to only one small instance.

However, this ancestor seemed to be quite proficient in the art of enchantment. Even the entrance to the secret cave was subject to extremely strict enchantment, and the method to open it could not be found. Forcibly destroying it could trigger a fierce attack or even destroy the entire secret cave. Cheng Cheng and a group of elite Demon Race studied it for several days but were at a loss.

When Ying Li led Qin Yi into the cave, a group of monsters inside were being scolded by Cheng Cheng like grandsons, "You need This King to do everything! This King, neither can you! You even have to sell your This King to ask for favors! What use are you bunch of good-for-nothings!"

A group of monsters were drenched in sweat. One of them, a Wild Boar Demon, muttered to himself, "If Your Majesty is willing, I can also sell my beauty and keep that human company..."

Cheng Cheng glanced at her sideways. "Go ahead, if you can hook up with him, that'll be impressive."

I haven't even completely seduced This King. Everyone's still debating whether he'll fall at her feet or This King. What makes you think you can do that?

The Wild Boar Demon patted his chest. "I'll give him a try when he gets here..."

"He's already here." Cheng Cheng looked at the cave entrance with a half-smile.

Qin Yi was staring in fright at the Wild Boar Demon, carefully inching his way in along the cave wall.

The Wild Boar Demon pounced, causing the earth to shake. "Mr. Qin..."

"Bang!" Qin Yi pressed F and kicked out, sending the Wild Boar Demon sticking to the other side of the cave wall and slowly sliding down.

Qin Yi wiped away his cold sweat. "I think you'd be quite compatible with a colleague named Humble Origins. You two could meet sometime, maybe even go on a blind date, to contribute to the reproduction of the Demon Race..."

Cheng Cheng sneered, "So what use are you?"

silence.

The group of monsters couldn't even lift their heads, and only Ye Ling could be heard eating melon seeds on the side, making smacking noises.

Qin Yi asked, "What kind of melon is this?"

"White Melon. I heard that eating it will make your skin whiter."

Qin Yi covered his forehead.

Ying Li, standing to the side, said, "Now that Mr. Qin is here, why don't you take a look at the restrictions?"

Qin Yi glanced at Cheng Cheng turned her head away in a huff, refusing to look at him.

Qin Yi smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and went to the cave entrance's barrier.

My first thought was that the eerie blue light emanating from the cave entrance really looked like something out of a dungeon...

My second reaction was to thank Liusu.

All along, Liusu had been teaching him useful side skills such as alchemy, talisman making, and array formations. Although she didn't teach him the main subjects, she did touch on them. Liusu generally believed that these things could often achieve things that couldn't be done by strength alone, which happened to align with Qin Yi's original interest in cultivating immortality.

The saying "One force can overcome all laws" is indeed true. However, many things are simply beyond the reach of force. For example, Martial Cultivation can never create the mystical world by painting a picture, nor can they turn themselves into a mosquito, nor can they turn a tea leaf into a cute girl.

Force is closer to breaking, while technique is closer to life. Which is superior is another matter. In short, Qin Yi felt that cultivating immortality and seeking the Dao would be meaningless if it only focused on accumulating power. These other things were much more fun.

Therefore, Qin Yi also enjoyed studying these miscellaneous subjects.

My interest in the restrictions stemmed from the box containing the ancient tomb owner's fragments, the one that had tricked Meng Qingying back then. The method to break the restrictions was surprisingly through a portrait on the person's body; this mysterious method was quite intriguing, unlike array formations.

In the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, there are people who play all sorts of tricks, and of course, there are plenty of classic texts on restriction techniques for him to study.

There are several types of restrictions, including sealing types and attack-triggered types, mainly used for protection and sealing. The cave entrance in front of us is a typical example of a protective type; there's no solution found, so we can't even get in.

This solution might be bizarre, unbelievable, and beyond anyone's expectations...

Qin Yi reached out and gently pressed the blue light, simultaneously activating the True Sight Technique and the Soul Stealing Technique to analyze the composition of the blue light.

It's like reducing the entire program to binary 0s and 1s.

Just considering this step alone, Cheng Cheng could do it, and many monsters could do it too. What one gains from 0 and 1, what one deconstructs, depends on one's own knowledge.

Liusu remained silent, testing Qin Yi's own abilities. This had become the norm; most of the time, Liusu no longer offered any guidance.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the demons, Qin Yi suddenly spoke, "Um..."

Cheng Cheng's heart leaped with joy. "What idea do you have?"

"I also have some restrictions in my mind that I need to remove first..."

Cheng Cheng paused, then asked with a half-smile, "How do you solve it?"

Qin Yi coughed dryly. "I want a female Chenghuang to kiss me."

The monsters all raised their heads and stared at Qin Yi.

Have you no shame?

Ying Li and other high-ranking officials turned purple with suppressed rage. They could tolerate Cheng Cheng's human form being so affectionate with Qin Yi, how could they tolerate Chenghuang's true form flirting with Qin Yi?

Moreover, this happened in public... It wasn't just Cheng Cheng who lost face, but the entire Demon City.

If you take one step back, you'll take every step back. You've already asked for help to this extent, so what's one more kiss?

It's not like we haven't kissed before.

Cheng Cheng squinted and slowly leaned close to Qin Yi's ear. "If you can't get rid of this humiliation you've done in public, you'll be bitten to death."

Qin Yi said, "I didn't just lose face... just think of it as kissing your own Imperial Concubine."

"Heh..." Cheng Cheng leaned in. In front of everyone, she kissed Qin Yi on the cheek.

A group of demons angrily turned their gaze away. Ying Li, suppressing his rage, said in a deep voice, "Mr. Qin, the restriction in your mind has been lifted; shouldn't this restriction be lifted too?"

Qin Yi sighed, turned around, and picked up Ye Ling.

Ye Ling fell down, staring at him in bewilderment.

No, I can't let the poor little snake fill the barrier, it'll die...

Qin Yi grabbed her and faced the blue light. "Come on, take your anger out on this door."

Ye Ling: "???"

Cheng Cheng said cautiously, "All it takes is for someone to get angry? Isn't that simple? We can just do it."

"We must unleash the Teng Snake's Wrath," Qin Yi said. "The Demon Race ancestors inside must have indeed cultivated something related to the Soaring Serpent; it's very likely that it was a snake... Anyway, as long as the ancestor is angry, the gate will open."

"..." Everyone looked at Ye Ling in disbelief. Was it really that simple? The solution was right in front of them, after all the trouble they'd caused in the entire Demon City for so many days?

Then they all sighed in unison. The solution was indeed simple, but it was useless if they couldn't decipher it. Besides, it wasn't exactly simple; this was actually a highly targeted restriction, and under normal circumstances, the Soaring Serpent couldn't be found at all.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Ye Ling grinned and said, "Rua!"

The blue light remained completely still.

The demons. "..."

Is this anger too bizarre, or is this human's judgment simply wrong?

Qin Yi sensed the distrustful gazes and, sweating profusely, said, "Be more authoritative!"

Ye Ling: "Hehehe!"

The blue light remained still.

Qin Yi was drenched in sweat.

Cheng Cheng said quietly from behind, "From today onwards, you are not allowed to see your brother."

Ye Ling flew into a rage. "You vixen, what right do you have? That's my brother!"

The blue light trembled and then disappeared.

Cheng Cheng entered first with a blank expression. "Mr. Qin, you've had a long day. Please rest for a bit."

Qin Yi sighed and crossed his arms, saying, "You're still a long way from thinking about burning bridges after crossing the river. It won't be as simple as a kiss later."

Cheng Cheng paused, then strode in angrily, "Follow me! If we have to rely on others even for exploring and fighting in the secret cave, you might as well all go find a block of tofu and kill yourselves tonight!"
