United Yao Race

Lu Yang and Lu Yi hit it off immediately and decided to go to the Demon Realm.

"We can't rush things. We need to find out about the situation in the Demon Realm first." Lu Yang remained relatively restrained, trying to suppress the upward curve of his lips.

"Should Man Gu and the other two go to the Demon Realm?"

"Man Gu won't work. His Ancient Barbarian Tribe bloodline is a double-edged sword for the Demon Race. It has a suppressive effect on low-level Demon Race, but it just attracts hatred from high-level Demon Beast." Lu Yang still can't forget when they were training in the dense forest during their Foundation Establishment Realm, Man Gu's Ancient Barbarian Tribe bloodline awakened, attracting a large group of Golden Core stage Demon Beast.

If Man Gu were to reach the Demon Realm, he would likely attract a large group of Demon Beast at the Nascent Spirit Transformation stage or even higher. They wouldn't need to do anything else but escape.

Oh, we might not be able to outrun the Demon Beast if we try to escape, so let's just use Senior Sister's Imitation Fist.

"Junior Sister Tao is busy cultivating her Ascension Immortal Body and can't leave the house."

Before coming to Meng Jingzhou's place, Lu Yang had visited Tao Yaoye. He saw that Tao Yaoye was wrapped in white-gold feathers, as if it was nurturing something, isolated from the outside world, and should not be disturbed.

"Junior Brother Li should be alright, you can go and ask him."

The two temporarily abandoned Old Ma and ignored Xu You, who was shackled, and went to Hundred Refinement Peak to find Li Haoran.

Li Haoran, shirtless, had removed his wig, revealing muscular muscles and a bald head. He was swinging a sledgehammer, working hard as if he were forging some kind of Law Treasure.

The sound of forging Law Treasure is very loud, so the disciples of Hundred Refinements Peak always set up soundproof formations before forging to prevent the sound from spreading and disturbing other disciples.

"Phew, finally done." Li Haoran breathed a sigh of relief and picked up a small rectangular object from under the sledgehammer.

"What kind of magical Law Treasure is this?"

Hearing Lu Yang's voice, Li Haoran looked up and realized that the two of them had arrived. He had been so engrossed in swinging the sledgehammer that he hadn't noticed his surroundings.

"You mean this? It's not some kind of Law Treasure, it's just compressed steamed buns."

"This is some kind of special treat from the Hundred Refinement Peak canteen, exclusively for our disciples. It's a combination of steamed buns, Great Rejuvenation Pills, and Spirit Gathering Pills all compressed together. Whether you're exhausted from your journey or drained of spiritual energy during battle, just one bite will guarantee to restore your strength and energy!"

"Putting it on your chest can also be used as a breast protector, it's even more effective than the previous sesame seed cake, want one? I just made some."

The two quickly shook their heads in refusal and explained their purpose.

Li Haoran looked troubled. "Go to the Demon Realm? I'm afraid that won't work. My master told me to stay in the sect and cultivate peacefully. I can't leave the sect until I catch up with you in terms of cultivation level."

"Aren't you already at the late stage of the Golden Core?"

"But I was only at the late Golden Core stage three months ago, while you two were five months ago."

Lu Yang understood; Li Haoran was at the seventh level of the Golden Core stage, while he and Lao Meng were already at Golden Core eighth level.

That's the difference.

"If you're going to the Demon Realm, you'd better prepare in advance. Qin Haoran once went there to hide from debts for a while, so I know a bit about the Demon Realm. There are some things you need to be careful about. For example, Senior Brother Meng, it's best not to bring your horse to the Demon Realm."

"Ah, why?"

"Old Ma is a strange Demon Beast. Are you making Demon Beast pull your cart because you're afraid of making enemies with the Demon Race?"

Judging from its appearance, Old Ma has several dragon scales on its forehead, which easily classifies it as a different kind of Demon Beast, that is, a livestock with Demon Beast blood but mixed blood.

Li Haoran was unaware of Lao Ma's identity.

Whether you know it or not makes no difference. Regardless of whether the old horse is Demon Beast or a different kind of Demon Beast, having the old horse pull the cart is not much different from taking the Man Gu to the Demon Realm.

"However, if you took the opposite stance from Old Ma, you probably wouldn't have become enemies."

"In turn?"

"It's you two pulling the cart, and Old Ma sitting in it."

"..."

So what's the point of us bringing Lao Ma along?

"Are all Demon Beast this united?" Lu Yang thought to himself. Humans are one race, while Demon Race are Body Integration of many races. Why would a tiger clan get angry at an old horse pulling a cart?

This is perhaps a bit too much unity.

"The Demon Race wasn't this united at the beginning." The Immortal Fairy knew the inside story.

"In the earliest times, Demon Beast roamed freely, leaving no room for humans. There were tiger clans, dragon clans, bull clans, horse clans, and so on. There were great differences between them, and they often fought to the death."

"Later, as the human race rose and tribes multiplied, the Demon Beast began to feel the pressure. By our time, three of the five High Antiquity immortals were human, while the Demon Race only had one Qilin Immortal. The Time Immortal did not belong to any race. With three against one, the human race had too great an advantage at the top, which established the human race's dominant position."

"Feeling the pressure from the human race, the Demon Race voluntarily united and came together as the Demon Race."

Lu Yang thought to himself, "I thought they were afraid of being eaten by you, which is why they were forced to unite and fight against you."

"Junior Brother Li, could you tell me about the Demon Realm?" Meng Jingzhou asked.

Li Haoran nodded, drew a large circle on the ground with a twig, and then drew many smaller circles inside the larger circle.

"This is the Demon Realm, and the small circles represent the Demon Race."

"Unlike the Great Xia and the Buddhist Kingdom, the Demon Race is chaotic and has not established a dynasty. They are much like the original human race, living in tribes. The relationships between the various races are intricate, with ancestral feuds, personal grudges, alliances, and betrayals. Don't just look at the relationships between the various Demon Race on the surface; there are many things we don't know about them."

"The Demon Race can be roughly divided into three categories: those who are friendly to humans, those who are neutral, and those who hate humans."

"The Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan are very close to the Human Clan, while the Taotie Clan dislikes the Human Clan. The Chaos Clan is neutral. When you arrive in the Demon Race, be careful and try to get close to the Demon Race territories of the Human Clan."

"The Demon Race values strength and bloodline. The purer the bloodline and the higher the strength, the more likely one is to earn their respect."

"Those who are both major clans and pure-blooded, such as the pure-blooded dragon clan, the pure-blooded phoenix clan, and the pure-blooded black tortoise, hold the highest status among the Demon Race."

"Of course, humans are an exception. At least I've never heard of the Demon Race respecting us just because we're pure-blooded humans."

Next, Li Haoran recounted the taboos of various races, such as the dragon having a reverse scale that cannot be touched, and not mentioning the phoenix clan's blood-selling practices to them.

"I don't know much about the Demon Realm. After all, I only have half of Qin Haoran's memories, so many things are blurry. Telling you might mislead you. The elders traveled all over the country when they were young and should have been to the Demon Realm. You can ask them if there are any precautions."

That makes sense.

The elders are experienced; they've been to both the underworld and the legitimate world, prisons and brothels, Buddhist kingdoms and demon realms—what haven't they been to?

The Grand Elder was chatting with Xu You when the two of them found Grandpa Ba.

"Are there any precautions you should take when you go to the Demon Realm?"

Grandpa Ba lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said seriously.

"Don't tell them you're from the Ask Dao Sect."

The second update will be at 11 PM.
