Chentang Pass is a giant city surrounded by Lin Hai.
The city has nearly a million residents, who live in peace and contentment, presenting a prosperous scene.
The east gate of Chentang Pass faces the East Blue, and beyond the Ximen lies Shallow Water Town. Further south from Shallow Water Town is Hundred Demon Valley.
To the north are continuous mountain ranges, and the coastline winds its way up.
To the south lies a vast primeval forest, its undulating terrain resembling a green sea of waves.
At this moment, Ling Yi, with the Xiaoniu, was hovering above the primeval forest.
This place seems vibrant with life, but upon closer inspection, one will discover that the hundreds of miles of forest near Chentang Pass are teeming with demons.
"Boss, this place has been like this ever since Nezha was born," Xiaoniu explained.
"However, these demons dared not approach Chentang Pass, and only wandered around the vicinity of Chentang Pass, after all, Li Jing and his wife from Chentang Pass were not weak in cultivation."
"Furthermore, Chentang Pass is Guard by Formation, so demons dare not even step inside."
Ling Yi didn't speak, but kept casting Probe Technique.
[Wolf Demon (80 years old), Golden Core Stage, Strength 1100, Agility 1500, Constitution 1000, Intelligence 40!]
[Snake Demon (400 years old), Nascent Soul Formation Stage, Strength 2600, Agility 2000, Constitution 2800, Intelligence 80!]
[Bat Demon (120 years old), Foundation Establishment Stage, Strength 105, Agility 130, Constitution 75, Intelligence 20!]
[ Corpse Demon (50 years old), Golden Core Stage, Strength 1000, Agility 1900, Constitution 1000, Intelligence 100!]
[Tiger Demon (800 years old), Body Integration Stage: Strength 8200, Agility 8000, Constitution 8000, Intelligence 200!]
Among these demons, the strongest is this tiger demon, Great Demon in the Body Integration Stage.
Aside from intelligence, the average number of surnames is over eight thousand.
After Ling Yi cast his Probe Technique on him, the tiger demon immediately Perception, instantly locking onto Ling Yi's location. It Roar into the air, took flight from the forest, and charged straight at Ling Yi.
Up close, this tiger demon is absolutely enormous.
Its head alone is the size of a small car. If this thing were to take a bite, even Xiaoniu wouldn't be enough to fill the tiger demon's teeth.
The tiger demon is all white with gold lines, and the word "" on its forehead is clearly visible.
It looks imposing and Haki.
"Boss, what should we do?" Xiaoniu Niu Qiang asked, trembling.
Ling Yi wasn't worried. Although his average attribute was only 3100, he had skills. Once his level 10 skill was activated, his agility would increase tenfold, reaching over 30,000.
If you can't beat them, running away is still an option.
But, run?
Ling Yi licked his lips. This tiger demon was too cool. Let's see if we can scheme against it.
"Roar!"
The tiger demon Roar in the air, but did not attack immediately. A very human-like solemn expression appeared in its eyes.
The reason is simple: he couldn't see through Ling Yi's cultivation level.
Or rather, they couldn't understand Ling Yi's cultivation level.
Ling Yi can fly, so he must be at least Golden Core Stage cultivator. However, the power system around Ling Yi is Chaos and indistinct, making it impossible to discern his cultivation level.
However, he did not sense Aura of Authority from Ling Yi.
In other words, this human cultivator should be a rogue cultivator or a member of a mortal cultivation sect, rather than someone within the Heavenly Court's system.
As long as it doesn't belong to the Heavenly Court and doesn't have the Authority of the Heavenly Court, the tiger demon isn't afraid.
Without Authority or any air of Immortal Qi, this cultivator's strength is at most comparable to his.
The inability to discern the opponent's strength might be due to the presence of magical artifacts.
"What brings a human cultivator here?" the tiger demon asked in a deep voice.
Hey, there's dialogue?
I thought war was about to break out right away!
After a moment's thought, Ling Yi asked, "Do you want to take human form?"
Although Ling Yi had many questions in mind, Ling Yi knew very well that even if he asked now, given the tiger demon's current demeanor, it probably wouldn't say much.
Therefore, Ling Yi decided to try a different approach and see if he could trick the other party into taking the Soul-Control Pill.
The tiger demon was taken aback. Why was this human cultivator suddenly asking this?
But he still said, "Of course, no demon doesn't want to take human form."
"Let's make a deal: I'll give you Transformation Grass, and you'll work for me for a hundred years."
"You have Transformation Grass?" The tiger demon's voice became more urgent.
With a flick of his wrist, Ling Yi conjured a vibrant green three-leaved shrub in his hand.
The tiger demon's eyes lit up; it really was Transformation Grass. Although he had never eaten Transformation Grass, he had seen Transformation Grass before.
For demons, the Transformation Grass is even more valuable than Spirit Treasure.
Without taking form, one can never truly Great Dao; this is a consensus.
Whether they are demons or monsters, their ultimate goal is to take human form. Only by taking human form can they touch the Great Dao Goten the Myriad Arts of heaven and earth.
Otherwise, no matter how strong one is, one is nothing more than a demon or monster, and it is difficult to Great Accomplishment.
"Give me the Transformation Grass." The tiger demon took a few steps closer.
Ling Yi seemed startled and took a few steps back with the Xiaoniu.
"If you agree to work for me for a hundred years, the Transformation Grass naturally be yours."
"Only a hundred years?" The tiger demon tilted its head, staring intently at the Transformation Grass, and asked.
"Right..."
Before Ling Yi could finish speaking, the tiger demon suddenly accelerated, opened its blood-red maw, and charged towards Ling Yi.
Ling Yi was prepared and activated his Rapid Speed skill, retreating Rapid Speed, but the Transformation Grass was swallowed by the tiger demon.
Or rather, it was Ling Yi who deliberately threw the Transformation Grass into the tiger demon's throat.
The tiger demon's form halted abruptly Transformation Grass.
The next moment, Daodao black demonic Demon Qi emanated from the tiger demon.
"Roar!" The tiger demon let out a furious roar of extreme pain.
Its enormous form gradually shrank amidst the swirling black mist, until it was completely shrouded in black mist, obscuring its true appearance.
Ling Yi had never witnessed the Xiaoniu's transformation process before, so he found it very novel.
As for whether the tiger demon will attack him after transforming into human form?
Do you really think the Transformation Grass is free? This Transformation Grass has been seasoned.
Now, this tiger demon is one of our own, no, it's one of our own demons!
"Roar, roar!"
The tiger demon Roar in agony, its voice echoing throughout the deep forest. Its terrifying aura pressed down on all the Xiaoyao, so much so that they couldn't even lift their heads.
Those who were weaker simply lay prostrate on the ground.
" Xiaoniu, was it this painful when you transformed?" Ling Yi asked the trembling Xiaoniu beside him.
"Pretty much. After all, it's a complete transformation. However, the stronger one is, the greater the pain experienced during the transformation. This is an inevitable process."
"If one were to undergo the Transformation Tribulation, it would be a hundred times more painful than this. If one succeeds, all will be well, but if one fails, one will become neither human nor demon, and one's strength will be greatly diminished."
"Therefore, the value of the Transformation Grass is extremely high, it's just a pity..."
Smack! Ling Yi slapped the Xiaoniu on the head.
"What the hell are you trying to tell Laozi? Speak!"
"Actually, I've heard from some elders that in the past, Transformation Grass were easy to find, and most demons could use them to Transformation Grass form."
"However, after the Heavenly Court was established, the Transformation Grass was Miejue by the Heavenly Court. Now, if you can occasionally see one or two sporadically, it is an incredible stroke of luck."
"Currently, only the Heavenly Court possesses a large quantity of Transformation Grass, which the Heavenly Court uses to subdue Li Qiang Great Demon and make them serve the Heavenly Court."
" The Heavenly Court? That makes sense!" Ling Yi said, glancing at the sky.
Once the Investiture of the Gods Scroll of the Sage is completed and sages cease to appear, won't the Heavenly Court's power increase even further?
He shook his head; these were not issues he should be concerned with.
Ling Yi looked at the Xiaoniu and asked, "You're both Transformation Grass, so why haven't you fully transformed?"
"That ' Transformation Grass' I ate isn't fully formed yet; it's just sprouted new shoots."
"Although it would be wasteful to eat it then, if we didn't eat it, the Xiaoniu might not have had a chance to eat it. Therefore, the Transformation Grass's effect was insufficient, and it could only transform the calf into half its original form."
Hmm, the Xiaoniu is too weak. If he waits until the Transformation Grass grows up, how will he be able to hold on?
At this point, the tiger demon's transformation was nearing its end.
The black demonic Demon Qi slowly dissipated, and a Haki middle-aged man wearing a white cloak and robe appeared before Ling Yi.
The man looked at Ling Yi with a complicated expression, a mixture of gratitude and frustration.
After he ate the Transformation Grass Transformation Grass, he sensed that there were other things mixed in with it.
Before he could even complete his transformation, he already knew what he was going to eat.
Controlling a person's soul means they will no longer have control over their own life and death.
He had cultivated for eight hundred years in vain, but upon seeing the Transformation Grass, he still lost his mind.
"What's your name?" Ling Yi asked.
"Master, my name is Bahu!"
From now on, call me boss!
After a pause, Ling Yi asked, "Why are you all gathered outside Chentang Pass?"
"There is Innate Demonic Treasure within Chentang Pass. Although it is suppressed by the Formation of Chentang Pass, some Innate Demonic Qi will still leak out every month."
"These Innate Demonic Qi are of immense benefit to us demon cultivators and Magic Cultivation."
Ling Yi nodded. It seemed that these demons were unaware of the existence of the Demon Pill.
Come to think of it, Nezha has become Demon Pill, and Ao Bing has become Spirit Pearl.
At this moment, neither Taiyi Zhenren nor Shengonggong Bao wanted the matter of the Demon Pill and the Spirit Pearl to be revealed.
If the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable found out about this, they would both be in Shuangshuang.
One messed up the mission, and the other stole the Spirit Pearl.
Only if the Demon Pill disappears and the Spirit Pearl is nurtured to its full potential can some of the punishment be absolved.
Of course, Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable may have already planned all of this.
As Sage, calculating the heavens and the earth, the past and the future, is a matter of course for him, and he can do it with ease.
Hopefully, they won't target me, otherwise I'll have to run away with the Myriad Worlds Traverser.
That's right. Ever since he learned that this world was a world of gods, immortals, demons, and monsters, Ling Yi directly spent 10 billion experience points to purchase a second Myriad Worlds Traverser.
If anything seems amiss, run away immediately.
There's nothing we can do; he's Heavenly Dao Sage, someone we can't afford to offend.
Currently, Ling Yi has less than four billion experience points left.
But we should save where we should save, and spend where we should spend.
In order to Old Liu in command behind the scenes and to ensure his survival, Ling Yi spent another 200 million to purchase 200 Transformation Grass and 200 Soul-Control Pill.
"There are 200 Transformation Grass and 200 Soul-Control Pill here. Do you know how to make them?"
Ling Yi tossed the spatial bag to Bahu.
"Know!"
"Come find me at Hundred Demon Valley after you've sorted things out!"
"Yes, boss!"
Ling Yi then looked at Xiaoniu: "You're with Bahu. Collect any treasures, cultivation techniques, or anything like that you find."
"Ah, yes!"
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he threw the Xiaoniu to Bahu and flew away.
To be honest, Ling Yi really wanted to go to Chentang Pass to see Nezha Taiyi Zhenren.
Knowing at least their basic affiliation will give you some idea of what to expect.
However, he's not strong enough right now, so it's best to play it safe!
Go back and study the A Cultivator's Self-Cultivation!
