Xu Qingtong sat cross-legged not far from the entrance barrier, considering his next move while carefully sensing his surroundings.
He discovered that the Demon Realm was not as he had imagined. Rather than demonic qi surging to the heavens, rich spiritual qi actually permeated the air.
This discovery gave Xu Qingtong a new idea. Why not attempt Core Formation here? If he succeeded, it would undoubtedly improve his chances of surviving in the Demon Realm!
Having made up his mind, Xu Qingtong began preparing for Core Formation. Taking the barrier entrance as his center, he slowly explored the surrounding area within a thousand-li radius.
Xu Qingtong spent two days searching the entire area within a thousand li. Apart from a few scattered Demon Person tribes, he found no cities of the Devil Race.
These scattered Demon Person tribes had few Devil Race cultivators. The highest-ranked among them were merely Demon Generals, equivalent to human Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
From what he had learned before, Xu Qingtong knew that the Devil Race had eight ranks: Demon Person, Demon General, Demon Marshal, Demon King, Devil Master, Demon Emperor, Demon Venerable, and Demon Saint. These corresponded respectively to the human stages of Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Void Refinement, Body Integration, and Mahayana.
Two kinds of Demon People mainly inhabited these Devil Race tribes: one had blue hair, while the other had brown bodies from head to toe.
Xu Qingtong looked himself over and could not help smiling wryly. No matter how he looked at himself, he did not resemble a Demon Person. If he went out and those Demon People saw him, they would certainly regard him as a monster.
Fortunately, there were no powerful figures nearby. Even if someone discovered him, he could deal with them easily.
