Chapter 363: The Big Red in the Thousand Demon Cave
Chapter 363: The Big Red in the Thousand Demon Cave
Sensing that the presence outside had lingered for a long while before finally retreating, Shen Yi sat down casually and fell into deep thought.
"I guess I've achieved my goal," he mused to himself.
To be honest, with Nie Jun, a proud genius of Wutong Mountain, what reason would the Thousand Demon Cave have to not want to cultivate a few similar existences?
Although it was called the Thousand Demon Cave, based on what Shen Yi had seen so far, there were at most only about two hundred demons at the Demon King level, and no more than fifty Demon Emperors.
The number of demons at the Transformation stage was roughly similar to the total number of cultivators from the Three-Way Alliance.
Perhaps there might be more top-notch powerhouses.
But it was important to remember that they occupied the most spiritually endowed land of the Nanyang Sect.
It was evident that this group of demons had wasted too many heavenly resources, squandering them recklessly. They urgently needed an ambitious individual to make full use of these treasures.
The rules of the Thousand Demon Cave were perfectly embodied in the Golden-winged Nine-patterned Demon Emperor.
Youwei, as a fellow Demon Emperor of the Thousand Demon Cave, had his treasure taken away. However, as long as that treasure still belonged to the Thousand Demon Cave, the matter was tolerable to those great demons.
As long as Shen Yi performed well enough, their tolerance would also increase.
"Never mind, it's useless to think so much now," Shen Yi said to himself as he stood up and walked out of the cave mansion. Soon, he found the two types of Transformation Elixir materials that the demon souls had discovered the last time.
Such precious things were just growing randomly in Old Flood Dragon's territory, and the dragon didn't even bother to eat them.
Compared to the outside world, where cultivators would fight over a precious elixir, and Bai Long, at the Mixed Element Ultimate Realm, painstakingly guarded a spiritual root only to have it stolen in the end, this place was truly luxurious beyond compare.
"Keep looking," Shen Yi ordered.
At his command, the Lion King demon soul quickly glided outside.
Shen Yi, on the other hand, found a secluded spot and opened the panel.
Remaining Demon Life Force: 64,000 years
Below the panel, in addition to the Xu Shi Formation Atlas, there were also the six or seven formation books he had borrowed from A Qing the first time he explored the cave mansion.
Although the Green Hill Old Ancestor had some attainments in formations, it was obvious that it wasn't enough. During the last visit to the Executive Cave Mansion, despite their numerous attempts in Xuan Guang Cave, they had still made a mistake.
Shen Yi's current goal was the cave mansions left by the elders of the Nanyang Sect.
Although he didn't know how to enter them yet, it was always a good idea to be prepared.
With this in mind, he mobilized the demon life force and channeled it into the basic formation comprehension.
Year One: You once again open the Basic Formation Comprehension, but this time, unlike your previous confusion, you have the Green Hill Old Ancestor by your side, explaining the fundamentals of formations.
As the prompts scrolled across the panel, the situation was more or less as Shen Yi had expected.
Although he couldn't be considered a genius, he was at least within the normal range, and with the help of the old fox, his learning speed was quite fast.
Year Twenty-seven: You have mastered the basics of formations and are becoming increasingly curious about more advanced knowledge.
Basic Formation Comprehension: Complete
Shen Yi digested the new information in his mind and calmly channeled the demon life force into the next book.
...
In the Thunderous Clarity Pool.
Lei Ti Demon Emperor watched as the golden light in the sky disappeared into the distance. He slowly stepped out of the thunderous pool, his hooves leaving prints in the thick liquid.
The Golden-winged Nine-patterned Tiger had gone to find that lion, and instead of punishing it, it had just calmly left.
"How nice," Lei Ti Demon Emperor shook his head, feeling a sudden twinge of envy.
That lion had risen to power overnight, picking up some kind of opportunity. It behaved so arrogantly, yet it still managed to gain the favor of the Fourth Cave's Demon Emperor.
Coincidentally, internal strife arose.
The tigress intended to recruit the Shadow-tailed Lion to her side.
"Thinking of defecting to another master... it won't be that easy."
The Thunder-hooved Demon Emperor,, hadn't forgotten how harshly he had treated the lion, who had resorted to such ruthless means against Youwei, with whom he had no real grudge. If the lion were to rise to power, his misfortune would be inevitable.
With that in mind, Thunder-hoof scoffed coldly.
Suddenly, he summoned purple lightning and sped off toward the north.
Soon, a massive light curtain appeared before the Thunder-hooved Demon Emperor, hanging in the air like an abyss, exuding an impenetrable darkness.
"Thunder-hoof has an important matter to report, and I hope the Demon Emperor will not find fault," he said.
As he spoke, he released a bolt of purple lightning that penetrated the deep abyss-like light curtain.
An unknown amount of time passed.
A rumble echoed through the darkness, as if a giant beast was awakening from its slumber.
The next moment, countless crimson eyes glowed to life.
As those eyes opened, the darkness of the light curtain swiftly dissipated, revealing a serene study filled with books.
On the endless bookshelves, thick tomes of cultivation techniques fluttered slightly.
Countless jade slips trembled imperceptibly.
And amidst this sea of books, a gigantic black-furred spider curled up, slowly extending its spider legs.
It glanced outward and asked in a slightly angry tone, "Speak."
Thunder-hoof took a leisurely pace, bowing his head humbly. "Youwei has lost his treasure and fled the Thousand Demon Cave in a sorry state. It is unknown when he will return."
"Didn't it lose its tail a long time ago?"
The Spider Demon Emperor, or "Zhu Huang," seemed uninterested: "So, after retrieving it, it was taken again? By someone from Wutong Mountain?"
"You've misunderstood," Thunder-hoof shook his head. "The one who took the spear is also one of your Demon Emperors, the Golden-eyed Lion. This is an internal matter."
Upon hearing this, the Spider Demon Emperor blinked, as if trying to recall who the Golden-eyed Lion was. After a moment's thought, he said, "Never mind, let it come and see me, and return that spear to Youwei."
After giving his response, the Spider Demon Emperor curled up again, preparing to close his countless crimson eyes.
At this moment, Thunder-hoof raised his head and said, "Perhaps it won't come. It seems to have gained favor from the Golden-winged Nine-patterned Demon Emperor and no longer heeds my words."
The Spider Demon Emperor stared back, and after a while, it let out a hissing laugh. "What you're saying is that one of my subordinates has taken another's treasure and defected with it to that tigress?"
"It looks down on me now."
"... "
Thunder-hoof remained silent, bowing his head.
He knew what mattered most to this long-sleeping Spider Demon Emperor.
Indeed, the next moment.
A long spider leg reached out from the light curtain, holding a jade slip, which it threw out. "Place this object in the recently opened cave mansion."
"Thunder-hoof's eyes are dull, I don't know what this is?" Thunder-hoof quickly reached out and took it.
"It's something that can drive that kid from the Tong family of Wutong Mountain crazy. Just put it there, and he'll sense it."
The Spider Demon Emperor retracted his long leg. "Convey my order: Let that lion guard the cave mansion. If anything goes wrong, I'll tear off its head."
Upon hearing this, Thunder-hoof finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Guarding the cave mansion was an ironclad rule of the Thousand Demon Cave.
Even if the tigress valued the Golden-eyed Lion highly, she wouldn't be able to find fault with this matter.
Trying to climb higher, it doesn't consider its own fate.
