A Heavenly Human descended

Having arrived in the Demon Realm, Gu Yuanqing naturally paid attention to the jurisdiction of this area.

This place is located on the edge of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and this large area belongs to the Iron Eater Beast clan.

The Iron Eater Beast clan can be described as being peaceful and averse to fighting. Regardless of their cultivation level, they only love to eat. Yet, this gluttonous clan has two Heavenly Human Realm Great Demon the Celestial Realm level. No other Demon Race in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains is willing to fight these simpletons.

It is precisely because of their nature that various ethnic groups have settled in this vast territory.

Managing the Iron Eater Beast is quite simple. Since they live in my territory, they naturally have to pay rent. The rent is also simple: bamboo and bamboo shoots cultivated using various methods such as Demonic Essence and demonic blood.

It collects taxes annually, based on cultivation level and the territory occupied. Those who can pay their taxes are allowed to remain, while those who cannot are expelled from the territory.

Gu Yuanqing knew about this, but didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

A giant ape leaped onto the mountaintop, carrying a large bundle of bamboo and bamboo shoots that had been packed in advance on its back.

A Purple Scale Demon Snake raised its tail high, with a bundle of Purple Blood Spot Bamboo hanging from the tip of its tail.

A Bull Demon used its horns to lift a bundle of Tiger Tooth Bamboo bamboo shoots from the ground and toss them into the air.

The Iron Eater Beast in the clouds glanced down, tore a Bag from its waist, and with a wave of its hand, all kinds of bamboo offered from the foot of the mountain flew up and fell into the bag.

It took out a stick, snapped a bite, nodded, and seemed quite satisfied. Then it stared at a White Headed Eagle Tribe on a mountain.

"What about this year's rent?"

"I used to raise a large patch of Blood Spot Bamboo, but some damned bastard stole it from me when I wasn't looking." A ten-foot-tall white-headed eagle stared intently at a Purple Scale Demon Snake.

The snake demon glared back, hissing and radiating Divine Intent power. "Why are you staring at me like that? My Blood Spot Bamboo is something I painstakingly raised; it didn't steal anything from you. You stupid bird, you need to provide evidence before you speak!"

While eating bamboo shoots, the Iron Eater Beast in the clouds said in its Divine Sense, "What happens between you is none of my business, and I can't be bothered with it. Since you can't pay the rent, then leave my territory within a day. Come back when you've paid the rent in full."

"Great Gong Venerable, could you please grant me some more time?"

"Our ancestor said that beasts can't be too lazy. Look, you can't even pay this little rent for a year, which shows that you're too lazy. We, the Iron Eater Tribe, don't raise idle beasts."

The White Headed Eagle Tribe naturally didn't want to leave. Compared to other areas of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, although they had to pay rent, it was much safer here.

Whether it's Human Race or other Demon Race, they still have to be wary of this dominant power.

Lan Tinglie was able to protect hundreds of Human Race on the edge of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains thanks in large part to the Iron Eater Tribe Clan. With their Divine Platform Realm cultivation, they were not afraid of ordinary Demon Beast, and even powerful Demon Race dared not trespass into the Iron Eater Tribe's territory.

Those two Great Demon at the Heavenly Human Realm are not to be trifled with.

Gu Yuanqing looked at it from afar, and the appearance of this Iron Eater Beast was clearly the same as the giant panda he had seen in his previous life. He had thought it looked somewhat similar when he heard the description before, but now that he saw it, he realized that it was exactly the same.

As expected of the legendary mount of Chiyou, it had a simple and honest appearance in its previous life, but it is now a powerful overlord in this Demon Realm. The only thing that remains unchanged is that both of them are gluttons.

The Great Gong Venerable didn't want to waste words with these beasts. He rode on the Cloudmist and continued onward, ate a bamboo shoot from his front paw, and then struck the gong again, letting his Divine Soul freely release the intent to collect rent.

A moment later, he arrived at the summit of North Spring Mountain.

It lowered its head and spoke in human language, "So this is the extra mountain that the ancestor mentioned a few days ago? Hey, Human Race, where's your rent?"

Gu Yuanqing felt a sense of familiarity looking at the black and white face in mid-air, especially the eye with a large dark circle around it, which looked rather comical.

There are indeed bamboos on North Spring Mountain, growing below a spring that flows year-round halfway up the mountain.

However, Gu Yuanqing did not want to take the bamboo from the Mountain out, because once it was taken out, the cover of North Spring Mountain would be lost, and this was the Demon Realm, where things with Spiritual Qi would be too conspicuous.

Seeing that he wasn't very bright, Gu Yuanqing smiled and casually said, "Your ancestor said this is an extra mountain. You see, I'm in this mountain, not in your Iron Eater Tribe's territory, so I don't have to pay rent, right?"

The Great Gong Venerable paused, feeling that what was said seemed to make sense, but something still felt off. After hesitating for a while, he muttered, "I need to go back and ask the ancestor about this."

Gu Yuanqing was also taken aback. He didn't expect that it could be dealt with so easily. Moreover, he had to go back and ask the ancestor. If he wasn't mistaken, this ancestor was probably Great Demon in the Heavenly Human Realm. It was really something that he had to ask Great Demon in the Heavenly Human Realm about collecting rent.

Gu Yuanqing saw that it looked honest and cute, and thought to himself that if he raised one, he didn't know if there would be enough bamboo shoots on the mountainside. But it didn't matter if there weren't enough, he could Object Control Art to make it grow faster.

He couldn't help but ask, "Are you the Great Gong Venerable? I see you're tired from collecting rent, why don't you come down and sit for a while?"

It said in a muffled voice, "No need. The ancestor said that we Iron Eater Beast need to move around more. I'll ask the ancestor later and then get back to you."

Then it urged the Cloudmist forward and banged the gong loudly, "Rental time!"

Gu Yuanqing watched its departing figure, feeling a pang of longing.

In my past life, I didn't even have the chance to touch it, so to raise one in this life is just asking for too much, isn't it?

This one, though it doesn't seem very intelligent, is at least at the Divine Platform Realm!

It's just that its clan also has Great Demon at the Heavenly Human Realm, otherwise I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to resist keeping it.

Thinking of the Heavenly Human Realm, Gu Yuanqing frowned slightly. With his current strength, with the help of North Spring Mountain and the Law Treasure in his hand, he should be able to defeat ordinary Divine Platform Realm Cultivator, and perhaps even fight against the Void Heaven Realm. However, he was not confident in facing the Heavenly Human Realm, which was a level above him.

"Therefore, it's best to keep a low profile in the Demon Realm."

He looked into the Heaven and Earth Pool again and suddenly thought of the Spirituality White Fox Cub he had caught earlier.

"After so much time, the Demonic Qi on its body should have mostly dissipated. Why don't we scoop it up and take a look?"

With a thought, he found the little fish that the fox cub had transformed into and rolled it out.

When the fox cub was brought before him, its blood-red eyes turned black and white, sparkling like jewels. Gu Yuanqing could see from the panic in its eyes that it had displayed Spirituality when it was first captured, and could tell that it was no ordinary creature.

The beasts in the Demon Realm are mostly corrupted by Demonic Qi, resulting in low intelligence and volatile temperaments. The fact that this fox could display such Spirituality and wisdom at such a young age indicates that it has an extraordinary bloodline.

Gu Yuanqing immediately thought of the Sky Fox Tribe within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. The Sky Fox Tribe has pure white fur all over its body and possesses the bloodline of Nine-tailed Demon Fox. The characteristics exhibited by the Little Fox in front of him were almost completely identical to those of the Sky Fox Tribe.

Gu Yuanqing's lips twitched. He wondered if any other cubs from major clans had been caught besides this fox.

"Fortunately, no one knows that I was the one who used this Heavenly Fishing Method. If it were to spread throughout the Demon Realm, life would really not be so easy."

Seeing the Little Fox in front of him, Gu Yuanqing felt it was a bit too hot to handle, so after thinking for a moment, he simply threw it back into the Heaven and Earth Pool.

He had originally planned to keep it in the Mountain after its Demonic Qi dissipated, but now he thought better of it; if it accidentally escaped, it would be a huge problem.

If you really want to raise it, you'd need to have a higher level of cultivation first.

Gu Yuanqing roughly surveyed the Heaven and Earth Pool and felt that six or seven of the cubs inside were probably beasts from the great clans within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

"Let's leave that aside for now. As long as I don't expose these cubs, who would suspect it was me? Why Worrying Needlessly? Cultivation is ultimately the most important thing."

On this day, Zuo Songhe, the newly appointed Mansion Master of the Heavenly Policy Mansion, paid homage outside the mountain gate.

"Young Master Gu, this book contains the regulations discussed by our Heavenly Policy Mansion and various sects of the Great Qian Dynasty at their North Spring Mountain Outer Cultivation Station. Please take a look."

Gu Yuanqing Mountain Observation, replied, "What happens outside the mountain is none of my concern; the Great Qian Dynasty can arrange it as it sees fit."

There has been no further response since.

Zuo Songhe quickly bowed and then stepped back, a look of joy on his face.

With this matter successfully resolved, the Heavenly Policy Mansion has become renowned among the major Sect of Great Qian. It is no longer the seemingly high and mighty entity that was secretly regarded as a lackey and looked down upon by the Sect members.

"It's a pity that Grandmaster Zhou didn't live to see this scene. Alas!"

Zhou Yin was both his teacher and friend, and it is truly a pity that he was suddenly killed at the Grandmaster level.

Guixu Island, deep within Lingxiao Mountain.

Inside an underground Cave, hidden by an Array Formation and unknown to anyone.

In the center of a Grand Formation connecting to the depths of the Earth Vein, a male body is immersed in a special liquid.

Suddenly, the body opened its eyes, emerged from the liquid, and the clothes placed beside it flew over and automatically put on.

Disliking the clothes, he formed a Seal Technique, chanted a few True Word, and then touched his forehead. In an instant, his body changed, becoming similar to his original Outer Realm, and his clothes transformed into the familiar Purple Robe.

He frowned slightly. "This Puppet is only at the Great Accomplishment of the Dao Fire Realm, but that should be enough. Any stronger power would be difficult to utilize in this realm."

He slowly walked uphill, and a hidden door opened, leading to a Spiral Secret Passage staircase that led straight to the top of the mountain.

A moment later, he stepped out onto the steps and found himself in the main hall Lingxiao Mountain. He glanced at the seven soul lamps beside him and said calmly, "Who is in charge of the Lingxu Sect now? Come to the main hall to see me."

As the words were spoken, the soul lamps flickered a few times, and the words were transmitted to their owners' minds through the divided souls of the lamps!

Kuang Tongyi, far away in the Great Zhou Dynasty, also suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Guixu Island. Just a moment ago, he clearly saw a person standing in the main hall on the top of the Lingxu Sect, wearing Golden Crown and Purple Robe, speaking to him!

"Who exactly is this person? Why can they transmit messages through the Void using the Soul Lamp within the Lingxu Sect?"
