Liusu's Opponents

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

Upon seeing the giant python's skeleton, Qin Yi put his hands on his hips in annoyance; there really wasn't anything here that suited his needs.

Many of the treasures found within the secret cave are items used by the Demon Race, which might actually be poisonous to humans. Even the Law Treasure are bizarrely shaped and incredibly ugly, and they are powered by Demon Power rather than Law Power, making them completely unusable.

He wanted to explore the rift valley, specifically the kind of ancient, unique, and mysterious place that had formed long ago, not some man-made tomb created after the Demon Calamity. Such a place was obviously of little value to him.

If I had to say something useful, it would be that the Python Skin, which never breaks, could be made into a piece of soft armor with strong protective capabilities. However, the feeling of taking it off from an ancient corpse is... well, you know. I can't wear it.

Besides, the clothes I'm wearing were hand-knitted by Cheng Cheng, so I'm reluctant to change them. If I'm going to change, it has to be something Chengcheng knitted for me, right...?

Cheng Cheng glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, clearly seeing what he was thinking, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she examined a jade slip that Ying Li had presented. The other demons were scattered, searching for things.

Qin Yi then spoke quietly to Liusu.

"Bangbang, what she just said..."

"Yes, that makes sense, that's how it should be."

"What?"

"Plundering and possessing Spiritual Qi and resources, hoarding universal Spiritual Qi in a corner, and becoming their Heavenly Being. That's what true immortals are. What are you mortals compared to them?" Liusu's tone was as sarcastic as Cheng Cheng's, as if they both thought Qin Yi and the others were cultivating fake immortality.

Qin Yi, however, was unmoved. "You've taught me so much, but it's all about transcending the mundane and engaging with the world. You've never mentioned anything about ascending to heaven. You scoff at that kind of thinking, so why mock me?"

After a moment of silence, Liusu said calmly, "That would be too boring."

Qin Yi: "..."

Liusu immediately changed the subject. "I have some ideas about why they protected the Demon Race, but I can't be sure. You stay here and I'll tell you when I find some evidence."

"Why don't you tell me first and we find evidence together?"

Liusu said nonchalantly, "Anyway, the Demon Race has been protected. Cheng Cheng Ye Ling, whom you care about most, are alive and kicking. What does anything else have to do with you? My thoughts are just based on my psychological exploration of my old rival. Why are you making such a fuss?"

"Isn't your opponent my opponent?"

"If you think saying this will move me, that seems a bit off... Imagine a three-year-old child saying the same thing to you, how would you feel?"

"You son of a bitch..." Qin Yi gripped the Wolf Tooth Club.

Liusu said, "I told you that's not my neck, you idiot!"

Qin Yi gave up indignantly. "Speaking of which, it's a good thing they're in heaven, right? They're so far removed from the human world, it's even less likely they'll notice you and me?"

"Although Taiqing can overlook the world, he doesn't do this kind of thing often. He has his own things to do, so it's indeed not easy for him to notice you and me," Liusu said. "Moreover, I think they are not in good condition. They have probably spent most of the past tens of thousands of years recuperating. Otherwise, there would be legends about them in the mortal world. It seems that the people in the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace don't even know of their existence? Maybe the Palace Master knows... Anyway, you've read so many Immortal Palace records and haven't seen any mention of them."

"Hmm... that means even the envoys rarely travel to the mortal realm." Qin Yi hesitated, "Perhaps the Demon Calamity only intervened once?"

"I'm already dead, it would be a miracle if they were still alive and kicking." Liusu sneered, "But they have better resources, being in the heavens, so their strength recovery is much better than mine. They actually managed to resolve the Demon Calamity, impressive, impressive."

It sounded incredibly sour, but Qin Yi didn't laugh at it. The little stick harbored deep hatred for them; anyone would feel the same way. After being killed and left with only a remnant soul, it huddled in the stick for tens of thousands of years in darkness. It was a miracle it didn't emerge as a vengeful Great Devil King, slaughtering humanity. The fact that it could still be so cute was truly remarkable.

"So, if there are any fragments left uncollected in the Rift Valley and the Land of Chaos, it's because they were unable to collect them before. The space around a large fragment would be incredibly terrifying, beyond their current capabilities; it would take them some time. As for smaller fragments that don't form such clearly defined regional phenomena as the Rift Valley and the Land of Chaos, they probably don't know where they are scattered..." Liusu pondered. "You're probably wrong to say there are no envoys in the mortal realm. There should be specialists exploring, but they haven't made it public, so it's unknown to the public."

Qin Yi said, "When we start exploring these fragments with all our might, we'll inevitably run into these people sooner or later."

As he said this, he felt no crisis or fear of possibly encountering a powerful enemy; instead, he felt a faint sense of excitement. Killing these people would be a way of avenging the porters, wouldn't it...?

Liusu sensed his feelings and this time she didn't mock him as a three-year-old child, but grinned from ear to ear.

Qin Yi also smiled, revealing that they understood each other perfectly.

They're secretly searching for fragments in the mortal realm, afraid to make it public, keeping it a secret. Sooner or later, they'll have a chance to kill them in secret. Even if the other party is Qian Yuan or Wu Xiang, it's not impossible to use someone else to do their dirty work.

"Brother, you're grinning like an idiot at those sticks again." Ye Ling stood beside him, tugging at his sleeve, her eyes filled with worry. "You've had this illness for years, isn't it better yet?"

Qin Yi said speechlessly, "You've got some free time now?"

"I've been fine the whole time, just standing here watching you for a long time..."

Qin Yi's forehead veins bulged.

"Brother, look at this giant python. It has a very faint trace of the bloodline of the Soaring Serpent."

"Where? I can't tell."

"Here, here, it also has a pair of fleshy wings."

Qin Yi leaned closer and finally found tiny, palm-sized wings on the giant python's back.

"So, does it work for you?"

Cheng Cheng walked over from the side. "The corpse is useless. But the Secret Method it records are worth it. Ye Ling should go back and study them in seclusion immediately."

Ye Ling asked curiously, "What Secret Method?"

"Art of Terrifying Gods and Ghosts." Cheng Cheng sighed, "I encountered the secret technique of the Teng Snake Remnant Soul before, and I lost my composure, thinking that it only targeted the soul. But it turns out that it is used for both the soul and the body. It not only terrifies the soul, but also shatters the heart and breaks the spirit. Even physical defenses are ineffective... So I lost my way and fell into the hands of this Peach Blossom Spirit."

Qin Yi: "You seem to have some misconceptions about the opponent you defeated?"

"Of course it's a misconception." Cheng Cheng looked into the distance and said softly, "The secret techniques of our ancestors were so powerful, yet we, the later generations, not only failed to inherit them, but we didn't even have the knowledge of them..."

Qin Yi felt that their Demon Race was indeed quite tragic.

Humanity has also lost much of its heritage, but other things are constantly being innovated and improved. Even Liusu praised that many things now surpass those of the ancient times, so humanity doesn't have much need for ancient techniques. At most, like Minghe, they might use his ancient formations as a reference.

However, the Demon City is located in a remote corner and has become weak due to its division. It's best to forget about innovation and instead rely on archaeology to make up for its lack of knowledge.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say, "With your kind of attitude, you still try to act like kings in front of me all day long, talking about tribal politics... It's like a three-year-old child telling an adult, 'I'm not playing with you anymore.'"

Liusu almost burst out laughing inside the stick; her quick learning and application skills were quite impressive.

Cheng Cheng raised an eyebrow and grabbed Qin Yi by the collar. "Stop being so arrogant! With your knowledge from the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, how many ancient secrets could you possibly unravel!"

Before he finished speaking, Ying Li and the others put away the giant python's remains, revealing the strange patterns on the stone slab beneath them.

Cheng Cheng stared intently. "What do these patterns mean? Can anyone decipher them?"

Qin Yi looked obedient and remained silent.
