From the memories of the awakened demonic spirit, its familiarity and obsession with the Boundless Void Divine Lord, including its deductions about the Jade Firmament Celestial Palace, all made a lot of sense. In particular, the Jade Firmament Celestial Palace might not be a physical reality, but rather something that evolved from the Heavenly Demon Hall, which subtly aligned with some of Yu Ci's own speculations.
Yet this failed to explain Madame Yellow Springs's intentions.
Planting a seed and letting it sprout twelve hundred years later?
It made no sense!
However, if he wanted to know, the best opportunity was right in front of him.
"Your technique can be used on Madame Yellow Springs, can't it?"
"If Your Majesty's mastery over demonic transformation and incarnation is sufficient... uh, certainly it is."
Looking at the Myriad Demon Pool alone, Zhao Xiangshan knew he was stating the obvious.
Yu Ci was eager to try, yet he temporarily held back, deciding that things should still be done step by step.
He went to inspect the second demonic insect.
This "Star Gleam Insect" parasitic on Kuang Yanqi had not only forcefully pushed a cultivator inferior to the young Yu Ci to the level of a Six Desire Heavenly Demon, but it also enabled him to wield the boundless power of the Boundless Void Divine Lord without any obstruction. If they truly shared the same origin, then the demonic spirit's progress had reached a point where one could not bear to look straight at it.
More importantly, through the Star Gleam Insect, Yu Ci sensed that it already possessed the emotions unique to living beings—roughly apprehension, fear, and the like. While still somewhat simple, it was definitely no longer the pure, rational thinking the demonic spirit possessed when it was first born.
This was terrifying.
