The Demon Emperor's Blood
Great Sage Mountain, Demon Ape Clan.
Inside the cave, the Demon Ape King sat high above, drinking the fine wine served to him by his servants.
"Your Majesty, I've heard that the Sky Fox Tribe and the Tiger Race have both sent the items destined for Demonic Dragon Mountain to that Mighty Figure Human Race!" said an old ape with white hair as he poured wine for the Demon Ape King.
The Ape King snorted and said, "It's one thing for the Old Demoness of the Sky Fox Tribe to do this, but I didn't expect the Tiger Lord to be such a sycophant. The Dragon Demon Ancestor just got into trouble, and he rushed to his aid. What does that say about the reputation of my Demon Race Royal Race?"
The old ape said, "I know Your Majesty's temperament; you are unwilling to bow down to the Human Race. However, now both the Sky Fox Tribe and the Tiger Race are on good terms with the Human Race and have even offered lavish gifts. With two of the Four Great Royal Races gone, our Ape Race is placed in the eye of the storm. The Sky Fox Tribe has always been fond of stirring up trouble, which may be detrimental to our Demon Ape Clan. Of course, with our clan's strength, we may not be afraid of the Human Race, but now that the Dragon Demon Ancestor is not here, if the Human Race joins forces with the Tiger Race or the Sky Fox Tribe, it will be difficult to deal with."
The Demon Ape King downed the wine in the bowl in one gulp, his brow furrowing slightly.
The old ape continued, "Among the Demon King of the Demonic Dragon Clan and the Four Great Royal Races, the Great King and Ao Guang are the youngest. Ao Guang was terrified by that Human Race and lost his will to fight. Although the Tiger Lord is strong, he is old, as is the Heavenly Fox King, and they are not skilled in combat. Therefore, only the Great King is most likely to break through to the Yin-Yang Realm and become a Demon Emperor. The Great King has become the target of everyone's attacks, so we must be careful. Especially the Tiger Lord, if he does not break through to the Yin-Yang Realm, his Lifespan will only be a few hundred years. He is always cunning and calculating, and there are no other Great Demon in the Tiger Race who have reached the Peak of Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change. I'm afraid the one most likely to be plotted against is the Great King."
Upon hearing this, the Demon Ape King's face immediately darkened. Whether the Demon Emperor had fallen into the hands of the Human Race or died, the demons would be leaderless and would inevitably cause trouble sooner or later. If that Great Cultivator Human Race were to be dragged into it, the Demon Ape Clan would be in serious trouble.
It hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat reluctantly, "Go to the storehouse and select some treasures, then pack some of the tribe's finest wine and send it to that Human Race."
"Yes, sir, I'll take care of it right away."
A few days later, both the Demon Ape Clan and the Demon Phoenix Race sent gifts, explaining that they were welcoming Fellow Daoist Friend to this realm and wanted to express their respect by bringing these items.
Gu Yuanqing accepted them all without hesitation. Although he had obtained many good things from the Heavenly Ladder over the years, how could he refuse treasures that were delivered to his door?
Moreover, although the Floating World is much richer than before, its foundation is still too shallow. It lacks many Spirit Materials Spiritual Treasure. Even the things that once existed in this realm have mostly been taken away by the Spirit Ruins and the Cultivator came to try their skills.
Gu Yuanqing occasionally wanted to refine certain items or Restoration Pill but lacked the necessary materials. The items sent by the Great Demon replenished his inventory, so he wouldn't have to search for them again if needed in the future.
Moreover, Li Chengyi controls a newly established cultivation Dynasty in the Floating World, which is lacking in everything.
However, these artifacts all contain Demonic Qi and need to Refinement before they can be used.
Of course, these things were no challenge for Gu Yuanqing. With his cultivation increasing, he had already gained some understanding of how to use the power of North Spring Mountain to cleanse the Demonic Qi; it was just a matter of spending some effort.
Moreover, feeling the subtle changes in Vital Energy during the process of washing away Demonic Qi is also a form of cultivation.
The Demon Realm is temporarily at peace, and no one dares to provoke it.
Gu Yuanqing felt much more at ease and focused his energy back on cultivation.
Mountain Gazing Enlightenment every day, drawing upon the Object Control Method and the Heavenly Angling Technique, transforming them into your own control over the Dao Resonance.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. The Dao Resonance obtained through the Dao Soul has been completely settled, and the Void Heaven World is gradually becoming perfect.
From the perspective of ordinary Cultivator, he has already achieved the Void Heaven Great Accomplishment. In fact, if he wished, he could trigger the Great Calamity of Celestial Person and become Celestial Person.
However, Gu Yuanqing's Void Heaven World is vast and still has many areas that need improvement, so rushing into a tribulation still carries great risks.
Furthermore, the degree of perfection of the Void Heaven World will also affect the strength of the person who has achieved the status of Celestial Person Being.
With the help of the Spirit Mountain and no external enemies to bother him, he naturally wouldn't make such a choice.
The more solid the foundation, the brighter the future!
Just as if he hadn't condensed the Sacred Martial Divine Treasury back then, his strength would probably be more than half weaker now.
Whenever he had free time, he would still enter the Heavenly Ladder. By this time, he could easily suppress a group of Void Heaven Peak Cultivator, and the targets of his battles and training had all changed to Celestial Person.
Moreover, the Cultivator guarding the Heavenly Ladder steps are not as weak as those in the within the Exquisite World; each one possesses extraordinary combat power.
He occasionally entered the Spiritual Mountain Trial, but mostly used them to practice new Cultivation Method; his combat skills were temporarily replaced by the Heavenly Ladder.
As its cultivation level increased, North Spring Mountain's Transformation accelerated.
Unbeknownst to many, the entire Great Mountain had grown even wider and more majestic.
The power of the Spirit Mountain grew increasingly potent, accelerating the conversion of Demonic Qi, which in turn affected the area surrounding North Spring Mountain in the Demon Realm.
Just as Xiong Mo of the Iron Eater Tribe said, the Demonic Qi in the Demon Realm has increased slightly, but only the area around North Spring Mountain remains at the same level as before.
Xiong Mo was no longer surprised by this. In its view, North Spring Mountain was shrouded in Array Formation all day long, and maintaining such a Grand Formation would naturally consume a lot of Demonic Qi.
The spiritual Vital Energy within the Spirit Mountain is becoming increasingly abundant, and the flowers, plants, and trees in the Mountain have all Transformation, blooming spiritual flowers and bearing Spirit Fruit.
The beasts in the Mountain are all exceptionally intelligent, and many have condensed their Inner Core, thus qualifying them as demons.
Whether by coincidence or not, the situation in the Mountain was quite similar to that in the Demon Realm.
Among all the beasts, the Little Fox, the Monkey King, and the eagle that lived on the Cliff were the most powerful. The half-grown cubs from the Tiger Race were much weaker because they had been delayed in the Heaven and Earth Pool for some time. However, the Tiger Race was stubborn and would not submit to anyone, so they were often beaten up.
As for the Gungun members of the Iron Eater Tribe, they spend their days eating, drinking, sleeping, and playing, seemingly without a care in the world. In addition, Gu Yuanqing likes them, so no one wants to provoke them.
In the Floating World, there are already more than sixty Divine Platform Cultivator on the Heaven Ladder Rankings, more than two thousand Dao Fire Realm Cultivator, and nearly one hundred thousand Dao Embryo Cultivator.
Among them, the one with the highest level of the Divine Platform Realm is already at the Divine Platform Third Level, and that is Li Shi'an. He lives in North Spring Mountain and has benefited the most from it.
Kuang Tongyi, Fan Hongqing, Ji Dai, and four other former Dao Fire Cultivator have already reached the Peak the Second Divine Platform.
Li Chengyi's cultivation has caught up with this second tier, and he may break through to the Divine Platform Third Level at any time.
The Dao Embryo Cultivator who have undergone the most significant changes are mostly young people born after the Spiritual Qi revival. They benefit from their innate talents and have better aptitude than their predecessors. The Dao and methods they cultivate are also more refined. Perhaps in the past few decades, the number of people who have reached the Divine Platform Realm is far greater than that of their fathers.
Before the Heaven and Earth Pool, Gu Yuanqing stirred his thoughts and swept up the Dragon Demon Ancestor.
However, it did not summon it completely into the Mountain. Instead, it was about seven feet above the water when the Demon Subduing Sword slashed past.
The Scales cracked, and Dragon Blood seeped out. Gu Yuanqing then collected the Dragon Blood and put it into Jade Bottle...
