The Rat Race Offers Up Treasures and Wins Favor!

Outside the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, in the land of the Rat Race, Yin Wind Valley Secret Realm.

This place is hidden in the void. After the Demon Lord White Crane used his great Divine Ability to move it to the Myriad Demon Domain, it became the absolute territory of the three lineages of the Rat Race.

Ten years to build up resources, ten years to recuperate.

The Yin Wind Valley Secret Realm is no longer the lifeless place it once was; it is now vibrant and thriving.

It possesses extremely yin energy, which converges to form Blessed Land of yin attributes.

A precious light also gathers, outlining a continuous range of Baoshan.

A Clear Wind blows, carrying the Clear Wind air of heaven and earth, constantly circulating within the secret realm, endlessly regenerating, brimming with Spiritual Qi.

Deep within the secret realm, inside a massive palace built of black mystic stones, Yao Qi energy soared to the heavens, and ten thousand rats gathered there.

In the mysterious hall, three giant rats, each the size of an ox, sat atop stone thrones.

On the left is a rat with green fur all over its body, surrounded by wind blades and green light. It is the leader of the Wind Rat Line lineage, Shu Changfeng.

The rat on the right has dark fur, pale green eyes, and a Yin Qi aura; it is the leader of the Yin Rat Line, the Shu Jiuyin.

The rat in the center is the fattest, with fur that gleams with golden light, exuding an aura of wealth, and its small eyes reveal a cunning nature.

It was none other than the Treasure-Seeking Line leader from back then, whom Shi Jian had specifically Enlightenment: Shu Baoshan!

In just about twenty years, it grew from a newborn mouse into a level three Demon Beast, demonstrating its exceptional talent and powerful bloodline.

In the entire Myriad Demon Domain, it ranks among the top.

During these ten years, the three branches of the Rat Race, backed by the Myriad Demon Domain, have thrived like fish in water, enjoying their zenith.

The Rat Race naturally reproduces very quickly. Coupled with the abundant resources within the secret realm and the absence of external predators, the Rat Race exploded in just ten years, with rat offspring and descendants seemingly endless.

A massive swarm of rats filled almost every corner of the secret realm.

Not only were they numerous, but under the rigorous selection of the three commanders, they were also well-equipped and produced a large number of high-level rat demons.

There are no fewer than a dozen beings at the second or third tier!

They are ubiquitous, found throughout the underground rivers and abandoned mines of the Myriad Demon Domain, and even in the border areas where the four Human Race kingdoms meet.

It became the largest and most secretive intelligence and resource gathering network in the Myriad Demon Domain, spreading throughout the continent to search for intelligence.

"Elder of the Changfeng Clan, Elder of the Jiuyin Clan."

Shu Baoshan narrowed his small eyes, flipped his paw, and a heavy Storage Bag landed on the stone table with a crisp clinking sound.

"Over the past decade, my Treasure-Seeking Line has traversed the four kingdoms, even infiltrating the realms of the Heavenly Ape and the Flood Dragon, and finally managed to gather everything the Demon Lord White Crane sought."

Shu Changfeng peeked out and scanned the area with his Divine Sense, feeling quite gratified.

Storage Bag were dozens of ores emitting a strange silver light, along with several pieces of withered wood and handfuls of stardust—all rare spiritual objects containing intense spatial fluctuations.

Void Nether Stone, Void Crystal, Realm Void Wood...

These are all extremely rare and precious spiritual items from the Space Dao!

"Baoshan, this is a big investment."

Shu Jiuyin laughed, "The Demon Lord White Crane casually mentioned it back then, and you actually used the entire power of your clan to search for it. If you took these Space Dao treasures to the Human Race market, they would be enough to exchange for mountains of pills."

Shu Baoshan smiled and patted his round belly.

"Old man of the Jiuyin Clan, please don't joke around."

"Human Race are nothing! Whom do we rely on in the Myriad Demon Domain? Our Ancestor! The Demon Lord!"

"No matter how greedy Baoshan is, he wouldn't go so far as to aid the enemy."

"Moreover, with the Ancestor currently in seclusion, the Demon Lord White Crane is practically half the sky of this Myriad Demon Domain, Flying Bird Line has recently produced another Demon General Yunhui, Cloud Radiance, whose momentum is at its peak."

"Although my Rat Race is numerous, it lacks top-tier combat power. If we don't cling to these two powerful forces, how will we establish ourselves in the Myriad Demon Domain in the future?"

"If we offer up these Space Dao treasures, the Demon Lord might be pleased and bestow upon us whatever he desires, enough to provide endless comfort for my Rat Race!"

Shu Changfeng and Shu Jiuyin exchanged a glance and both nodded in agreement.

The Rat Race thrived among the Demon Race in this dog-eat-dog world not because of brute force, but because of their shrewdness in reading people's expressions and moods.

"There's no time to lose; I'll head to Cloud Lord Peak now to seek an audience with the Demon Lord."

"My two clan elders, wait for my good news!"

Shu Baoshan put away his Storage Bag, and with a flicker of his body, he transformed into a dazzling beam of light and vanished in an instant.

Myriad Demon Mountain Range, Cloud Lord Peak.

This peak soars into the clouds, shrouded in white mist year-round, where birds circle and ethereal music drifts.

At the summit, on the white jade plaza.

The Demon Lord White Crane, clad in a white feather cloak, leaned against a jade couch, holding a cup of spirit wine in his hand, savoring its aroma.

Yun Du stood respectfully to the side, holding a jade pot, ready to refill the wine as needed.

Over the past decade, Yun Du's edges have been completely smoothed out, although White Crane used Secret Method to forcibly elevate his cultivation to the Golden Core Middle Stage.

But in reality, it has completely become Human Cauldron for the White Crane crane to nurture the Cloud Dao's energy.

"Reporting to the Demon Lord, the leader of the Treasure-Seeking Line requests an audience at Shu Baoshan."

A level three bluebird flew down and spoke in human language.

White Crane slightly raised his eyelids and put down his wine glass. "Let him come up."

Before long, Shu Baoshan's plump body tumbled and crawled to the summit, prostrated himself, and shouted, "This little demon Shu Baoshan pays respects to the Demon Lord White Crane!"

May the Demon Lord enjoy eternal bliss and live as long as the heavens!

Upon hearing this, the White Crane chuckled lightly, "You Treasure-Seeking Rat, you certainly have a sweet tongue. What brings you here today?"

"Aren't you afraid your ancestor will become suspicious of you?"

"Brother Shi is quite ruthless. Are you perhaps considering joining my ranks elsewhere?"

Shu Baoshan didn't dare to look up, and held the Storage Bag high with both hands.

"Your Majesty, I would never dare to do that."

"I have come here today because you once mentioned the need for resources from the Space Dao Realm. I have kept that in mind ever since. Over the past ten years, I have led my clansmen through treacherous mountains and treacherous waters, and have finally collected a batch of spiritual treasures from the Space Dao, which I have come to offer to the Demon Lord!"

A strange light flashed in the White Crane's eyes, and it grabbed with one hand.

The Storage Bag fell into his palm.

As the Divine Sense probed in, the smile on the White Crane's face instantly deepened.

"Thirty-two Void Nether Stone, five Void Crystal, and two sections of Realm Void Wood... Not bad, you did a great job!"

The White Crane stood up, its cloak fluttering in the wind.

"You Rat Race, you certainly have a purpose."

"I have always been fair in my rewards and punishments, and I will certainly not treat you unfairly. This Golden Core of the Human Race will be yours."

As soon as he finished speaking, a jade bottle floated down.

Overjoyed, Shu Baoshan kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you for your generous gift, Demon Lord! This humble demon is willing to go through fire and water for you, Demon Lord!"

"Alright, alright, you can leave now."

After waving away Shu Baoshan, White Crane gripped the Storage Bag, his gaze fixed intently on Cloud Lord Peak, above which lay nothingness.

"Brother Shi, back then you bestowed the Yin Wind Valley Secret Realm upon the Rat Race. I've felt a little envious ever since, and today I can finally appreciate it."

"Now that the spiritual treasures of the Space Dao are all gathered, I, too, should have a secret realm belonging to my Feather Race, as the foundation of our clan."
