The Demon Territory Today

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

In Qin Yi and Liusu's minds, time passed very quickly.

But when Qin Yi broke through the sixth level of the Bone Forging and Cloud Soaring techniques and officially emerged from seclusion, he realized that more than three months, a hundred days, had passed, from early autumn to winter.

Each layer is older than the last...

Moreover, this is in the most prestigious training ground, with ample supplementary medicines and all the necessary conditions in place, so there's no way to speed things up.

Sensing that his cultivation had just broken through to the sixth level and was still incredibly far from the seventh, Qin Yi truly couldn't predict how long it would be before his next breakthrough.

When he left the Immortal Palace, he was at the third level of the Cloud Ascension Realm, and now it has been almost a year and a half. Reaching the sixth level in such a short time is terrifying in the eyes of others, but Qin Yi knows in his heart that the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels were achieved through some trickery, not through conventional cultivation.

Breaking through the fourth level was thanks to Meng Qingying's first time, and that time was also comparable to Meng Qingying's cultivation, which was particularly beneficial.

Breaking through the fifth level required dedicated cultivation twice within the Demon City's ley lines, once for ten days and once forty-nine days, and he even borrowed a drop of Kunpeng stalactite to forge his bones. Without that drop of stalactite, he might not have been able to succeed.

Breaking through the sixth level involved battling Qian Yuan, then Cheng Cheng with Cheng Cheng, followed by another forty-nine days of training. Afterward, he spent two or three months honing his skills in various secret realms, and finally completed the great karmic task of saving the humans of the Demon City, thus achieving enlightenment through the Great Dao. Even so, he still went into seclusion for another hundred days. All in all, this single level alone took him seven or eight months.

Taking this aspect as an example, without those special conditions, wouldn't it take seven or eight years just for meditation?

Absolutely necessary, and seven or eight years is enough for the world to envy. It's so fast, we need seventy or eighty years.

The path to enlightenment is arduous, as one can imagine.

Qin Yi highly doubted that Minghe had even reached the sixth level yet, or perhaps she had only just reached it, similar to himself. Unless she also had other opportunities, then it was hard to say.

These aren't chaotic times; cultivators are bored out of their minds, even joining in the excitement of martial arts competitions. Where do so many opportunities come from...? I don't even know if Minghe has any; where am I going to find them in the future?

Opportunities don't just fall into your lap; they require luck and are often accompanied by immense risks. They've used up Discarded Piece in just over a year—that's no joke. Without these opportunities, how long will it take to break through from level six to level seven? This is a leap from the mid-to-late game, far more troublesome than before.

What's next? Don't be fooled by the fact that he's already broken through halfway through the century-long agreement in just three years. It seems fast, but Qin Yi is actually more doubtful about whether a century will be enough... What if he comes out of seclusion one day and finds that a century has already passed? That's entirely possible, and then it would be too late to cry...

In any case, the current speed is satisfactory enough. There's no way to go any faster, so there's no need to put too much pressure on myself.

Qin Yi stood outside the ley lines, stretching his arms and performing a set of basic martial arts movements to loosen his muscles and bones before running to find Cheng Cheng. However, Cheng Cheng's demon form was not there; she was still engaged in the grand strategy of expanding the secret realm. Ye Ling was also absent, having gone on an expedition with the team. Qin Yi then went to Brocade Embroidery Workshop to find Human Form Cheng Cheng.

The moment Qin Yi saw Human Form Cheng Cheng, his mouth dropped open.

He had just said "there's no way to speed it up" when the girl in front of him slapped him hard across the face.

She took to the clouds.

How long has he been cultivating?

Qin Yi tried hard to recall... Did it add up to a year?

He himself achieved meteoric success in two years, claiming to be unprecedented, but this guy only managed one year!

Knowing that she doesn't need others to go through the process of "enlightenment," "establishment," "practice," or "touching," nor does she need to carefully open her soul or deal with the pill tribulation like others, she is already very experienced. She only needs the most brutal and pure accumulation of resources... In a sense, it is somewhat similar to the revival of Liusu, which is completely different from ordinary people starting from scratch.

But it's already terrifyingly fast. How can her body withstand such an intense and rapid accumulation of energy? This kind of efficiency would burst an ordinary person...

"Don't think my body is weak. I'm a demon king's avatar, after all. Do you really think I'm the kind that can be blown away by the wind?" Cheng Cheng said with a grin. "My basic vitality and the ability to withstand pressure in my meridians are stronger than any mortal."

"That's true." Qin Yi carefully examined her and noticed some problems. "You forced a breakthrough, so your foundation isn't solid enough, and the quality of your cultivation at the same level isn't very good either. You're not even as good as ordinary cultivators. People like you are the kind of people who get killed by those of higher levels. You're not worthy of the title of Demon King."

Cheng Cheng wrapped her arms around his neck and laughed, "It's alright... isn't there dual cultivation to solidify our foundation?"

Qin Yi's eyes widened. "You planned this floor?"

"Of course!" Cheng Cheng said proudly. "I have a man, how can I be compared to those single snakes?"

Liusu's voice echoed in her Sea of Consciousness: "Can we not take her out? I want to beat her up."

Qin Yi: "..."

Cheng Cheng took his hand and flew into the sky. "Let me show you the Demon City and the Rift Valley now."

Qin Yi then flew up and looked down at the Demon City from mid-air.

As a result, they saw various exotic birds, such as the Qingluan, circling in the sky, various dragons shuttling around, Qilin and White Tiger patrolling the city, and the giant tortoise and Black Tortoise squatting in the central square, with their powerful Demon Power resounding in all directions.

This Demon City... is no longer the low-level demon species with only ordinary jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards that I saw in the past, but a true realm of all demons, full of spirituality.

In a way, it wouldn't be too wrong to call this a fairyland...

If given more time to develop and cultivate, the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace will probably become a junior, and the rise of these Divine Beast Bloodline will be very rapid.

Looking down into the city, the human-bodied, animal-headed creatures of the past are gone. Those capable of transformation have all taken human form, retaining only some demonic features, some of which are quite cute. Clothing and accessories have also become more human-like, completely overturning the uncivilized animal-skin wooden huts of the former Guoxiao Two Kingdoms, and showing signs of civilization, just like the White Kingdom.

In the early days, most of the Demon City I saw was desolate, after all, it was a super city with all kinds of terrain, including deserts. But now, the desolate areas are becoming fewer and fewer, and life is thriving everywhere. The bustling parts of the city are full of people and vehicles, and the city is full of vitality.

Looking out from the outskirts of the city, the desolate mountains and blood pools where Qin Yi first arrived have been covered with vegetation, and the blood pools are now clear. People are living and grazing their livestock in the mountains. The desolate road halfway into the city that Qin Yi and Cheng Cheng once traveled through was now a grassland.

Gathering the Demon Power to start a new era is really not difficult.

Expanding his Divine Sense, he looked at the rift valley region surrounding the Demon City. All sorts of powerful Demon Power and soul forces were incredibly clear, representing various secret realms and remnant souls of different sizes. Now, they had all established connections with Kun Peng City, and the entire rift valley was interconnected, like stars intertwined, forming a very peculiar array.

The Demon Power of each secret realm resonates with the others, forming a chain that affects everything. The entire rift valley becomes a unified formation, stretching for thousands of miles, with immense power.

Qin Yi had no doubt that if he simply activated the device, this novice at the Soaring Cloud Sixth Layer Realm would be instantly annihilated without even a chance to utter a sound.

Because this kind of super formation is used to counter the Formless.

It was no longer a rigid attack using the power of the Kunpeng, but a dynamic array. Within the array lay the power of ten thousand demons, infinitely powerful and infinitely mysterious; even several Formless beings would likely be trapped inside.

The entire Transverse Rift Valley has become a demon realm completely controlled by the Demon City. As long as it doesn't encounter an attack from Taiqing, this place is a true Peach Garden, inviolable by anyone.

Qin Yi took a deep breath and sincerely said to Cheng Cheng, "You are truly a great king."

Cheng Cheng smiled and shook her head slightly, "At least half the credit belongs to you. This is Peach Garden you and I share."

Qin Yi also felt a sense of accomplishment, knowing that the changes here were indeed inseparable from his own efforts.

I remember when I hit a home run, it was a peach, and I tricked her.

In retrospect, it seems that planting a peach in the past has created a Peach Garden on earth.
