Meeting the Demon Wing Venerable

"However, since the race wants me to delve into the path of the Beast God, I might as well put in the effort to study it. Good things delivered to my doorstep shouldn't be wasted," Qin Cang thought.

After all, he had only been cultivating for ten thousand years so far. A World Lord's lifespan was a full ten million years, and for the Yan God Clan, their lifespans were six times that of an ordinary World Lord, not to mention Qin Cang himself.

Ten thousand years, for Qin Cang, even at the World Lord level, didn't even count as a drop in the ocean of his lifespan. He still had plenty of time to learn and experience various different paths of cultivation.

The path of the Beast God was already in Qin Cang's plans; it was merely a matter of when he would pursue it.

Since the race had provided this lead, Qin Cang didn't mind pursuing the artistic conception of the Beast God while still at the World Lord level. Of course, most of his focus would definitely remain on comprehending the laws and creating spear techniques. These claw techniques and the path of the Beast God would just be entertainment for his leisure time.

After thinking all this through, Qin Cang stood up, preparing to leave Wuchen Spacetime.

"Pato, let's go. To the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm, the Desolate Star Region, to see my teacher," Qin Cang commanded.

"Understood, Master. Once we've seen Demon Wing Venerable, we'll head to the Outer-Region Battlefield for a grand fight!" Pato's tone was full of excitement; clearly, it had been itching to have some fun for a long time.

"I'm the one going to fight, why are you so excited?" Qin Cang was also troubled. How did his artificial intelligence end up like this? They said artificial intelligences were supposed to take after their masters, so why didn't that hold true for him?

"Master, that way I can see your wise, martial, and awe-inspiring figure in action again. Besides, playing games in the Virtual Universe every day is so boring," Pato's voice turned cunning again.

"It is said that the Evolution Heart is sold in the Outer-Region Battlefield. Once we accumulate enough military merit, I will buy you an Evolution Heart. That way, you can cultivate on your own, no different from those pure Machine Race beings," Qin Cang promised. Artificial intelligence was his most loyal partner, bar none, and giving Pato the chance to cultivate had long been part of his plan.

"Yay! Thank you, Master! I definitely won't hold you back." Pato couldn't have been happier. That was an Evolution Heart! A treasure that could grant it a physical body, allowing it to truly become a living being. Artificial intelligence, while said to have emotions and thoughts, was essentially just high-level intelligence and couldn't be considered a true life form.

Whoosh!

Qin Cang waved his hand, and a massive spaceship appeared out of thin air. It was a spear-shaped vessel over 2,000 meters long, silver-white all over, emitting a white-hot streamer. This ship was Qin Cang's current ride—the Streamer.

The hull of the Streamer was crafted entirely from F9-grade Streamer Mithril, while the core lounge in the cabin was made from G-grade Mother of Mithril.

The interior was inscribed with defensive secret patterns created by top spaceship designers from the Virtual Universe Company. Even attacks from a King-level powerhouse couldn't necessarily damage this ship, and the interior lounge required the destructive power of a King to be destroyed.

Its propulsion system was nearly at the limit for a ship of this class, capable of reaching 80 times the speed of light in the dark universe. It was also equipped with several Star-Destroying Cannons, each with the power comparable to a strike from an Immortal god. While not incredibly strong, the ship wasn't meant for combat; it was purely for Qin Cang's travel, so its greatest feature was its speed.

A ship of this caliber was something even those King-level Immortals might not possess. For Qin Cang, it was sufficient for his current stage. He would be using the Streamer for travel for quite some time. Once he had more money in the future, he could integrate a metal life form into it, which would further enhance the ship's performance in all aspects.

It could be said that since transmigrating into this world, one of Qin Cang's hobbies was collecting all kinds of spaceships.

Because his Star-Eating Grass had advanced to Immortal a thousand years ago and established a God Kingdom, Pato's biggest task over the last millennium had been piloting the ship to scatter Divine Power Coordinates all over the universe with the Star-Eating Grass, especially in his home Yanxing Universe Kingdom, the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm, and the Primal Secret Region, which were key areas.

Divine Power Coordinates weren't worth much, but they were incredibly convenient for God Kingdom Teleportation.

"Star-Eating, initiate God Kingdom Teleportation. Destination: the Desolate Star Region within the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm," Qin Cang ordered.

"Understood, Master." The Star-Eating Grass sent the message and immediately initiated the God Kingdom Teleportation. The cost of this bit of divine power was nothing to its massive divine body.

God Kingdom Teleportation was indeed convenient. Before long, Qin Cang arrived at the outskirts of the Desolate Star Region and saw the Nine-Story Pagoda standing high above the star region from afar.

Without further thought, Qin Cang ordered Pato to pilot the Streamer toward the Nine-Story Pagoda.

Soon, they arrived beneath the pagoda.

"Disciple, since you've arrived, come on up," the voice of Demon Wing Venerable came. Clearly, he had sensed Qin Cang's aura long ago.

Hearing Demon Wing Venerable's words, Qin Cang didn't hesitate and rushed toward the ninth floor of the pagoda. This was where Demon Wing Venerable truly held his seat; unless there was an important matter, he rarely left this place.

"Disciple pays respects to Teacher." Entering the ninth floor, Qin Cang saw Demon Wing Venerable sitting on his throne, wearing the same attire as he had seen in the Virtual Universe.

"Haha, disciple, how did you find your three thousand years in Chaos City?" Demon Wing Venerable asked about Qin Cang's situation.

"Teacher, everything went well in Chaos City. Fourth Senior Brother took great care of me, and I have already reached the eighteenth level of the Sky Bridge," Qin Cang answered Demon Wing Venerable's questions honestly.

"Haha, I already knew. Reaching this point in ten thousand years is truly not easy. But this is also because you worked hard; otherwise, no amount of resources dumped on a mediocre talent would have any effect," Demon Wing Venerable said. "I heard you are heading to the Outer-Region Battlefield, is that right?"

"That's right, Teacher. I want to go to the Outer-Region Battlefield to hone myself."

"The Outer-Region Battlefield is quite good. It is indeed a good choice for you to go there for training at this stage. However, you must be careful of the Bug Race. I won't say much about other races, but the Bug Race is the most insidious and cunning. Countless human geniuses have fallen at their hands. Soul attacks are simply the greatest nemesis of these geniuses." Like Chaos City Lord, Demon Wing Venerable specifically pointed out the insidious and cunning nature of the Bug Race, warning Qin Cang to be careful.

"Disciple understands!"

"Disciple, I have basically taught you everything I can. Since the race has gifted you a treasure, I naturally have one to give you as well. This is one of the few things I can do for you from now on. From here on out, how far you can go on the path of a cosmic powerhouse depends only on yourself. No one can help you; everything relies on your own efforts."

As Demon Wing Venerable waved his hand, a long spear appeared out of thin air!

"This treasure is called the Holy Sun Spear, a top-tier heavy treasure. At this stage, I truly didn't know what treasure to give you, so I chose this. Once you bind it, you will naturally understand the terrifying nature of this spear."
