Northwest of the Monster Mountains, near the Yunlan Sect.
A young man in a moon-white robe sat on a Rank 4 "Rock-Crushing Rhino," slowly making his way deeper into the forest.
He stretched lazily, without any regard for his image, and then lay down directly.
The Rock-Crushing Rhino's broad back was like a small bed, so there was no need to worry about falling off.
After Protector Wu's massive slaughter, there were no more Rank 6 monsters in this area, and three Rank 5 monsters divided it up.
They were hostile to each other but also united. If any other Rank 6 monster tried to occupy this place, they would be jointly resisted.
But that was only on the surface. The reality was that this area was Amon's hunting ground, and those three Rank 5 monsters were just his puppets.
In addition to the three Rank 5 monsters, there were also many Rank 4 and Rank 3 monsters that were also controlled by him. All the creatures in this area were just Amon's food.
The Rank 4 Rock-Crushing Rhino was also parasitically controlled by a Worm of Spirit. With such a bodyguard, Yun Meng didn't have to worry about his safety at all.
After traveling for most of the day, the Rock-Crushing Rhino stopped at the entrance of a hidden cave.
Black gas filled the cave, forming a huge vortex, and the pressure of a Rank 5 monster spread out without concealment.
Yun Meng walked into it, passed through a long passage, and came to an open space.
In the center, a huge worm vortex floated in mid-air, with countless worms with twelve rings and starlight-like colors gathered together, either intertwined or swimming around.
The worms that made up the worm vortex were arranged in a clear hierarchical order according to their strength levels. Most of the worms on the outermost periphery only had Dou Practitioner stage strength, and could not even be called real monsters. Further inside were Rank 1, Rank 2, and Rank 3 worms, and then five Rank 4 Worms of Spirit.
At the very center of the worm vortex was Amon's main body, a Rank 5 Worm of Spirit.
The energy of heaven and earth was refined layer by layer and then gathered to the main body. However, because he was a monster and did not have any cultivation techniques, even though the clone saved a lot of time in gathering energy and purifying it, the final absorption and conversion efficiency was very low, so the cultivation speed was still not very fast.
"Any new discoveries?" Amon's main body said softly.
In addition to setting the initial development plan, he devoted most of his time to cultivation, because his own strength was the foundation of everything.
Although he also knew that if he didn't contact the clone for too long, the clone's personality would continue to shift, and some plans would be distorted by the clone with the shifted personality, but there was no way around it.
The problem wasn't too big, because the plan had always only had one major strategic direction, and deviations could be adjusted at any time. If it deviated too much, he would just overturn it and start over.
"I went to the Mo family and found something very interesting." Yun Meng threw over a jade slip, which contained all the information he had obtained from the Mo family.
Amon took the jade slip and probed his mental power into it, and a large amount of information flooded into his mind.
"The Mo family of Salt City, the Northern Continent, the barbarians, the secret technique of merging with monsters... Heh, it's indeed very interesting. It's a pity that it can only be postponed. At present, we can only roughly control the situation in the Jia Ma Empire."
The worm vortex began to change. After a burst of twisting and wriggling, the worms constructed a rough human form. The movements of the worms slowed down, and the human-shaped worm mass also became more concrete and clear from its original abstract form, eventually forming a thin young man wearing a pointed soft hat, a black classical robe, and a monocle on his right eye.
Amon pinched his right hand, and his skin began to roll, and the worms below could be vaguely seen from the cracked gaps.
Soon, the rolling skin calmed down, and his right hand returned to its fair and smooth state.
This was not transformation. Amon was still a group of worms, but this large group of worms had changed its overall appearance into human characteristics.
"Let Yun Shan tell Pill King Gu He that Queen Medusa has a strange fire in her hand. If he is interested, he can prepare a Transformation Pill... Let Yun Shan go with him to trade."
"Well, it is impossible to give the strange fire to Gu He, and the Transformation Pill must be obtained, so kill Gu He. The soul can also be used to trade with the protectors of the Soul Hall... The soul of a Rank 6 alchemist is no worse than an ordinary Dou Ancestor."
Amon adjusted the position of his monocle, with a smile in his eyes.
"Kill Gu He? The value that a living alchemist can produce is greater than that of a dead one."
"The value of a living alchemist also needs time to be realized, and what I lack is time. Gu He's long-term value will not be higher than a Transformation Pill."
"Tsk... I will convey it." Yun Meng stroked the monocle. "Is there anything else to order?"
Amon thought for a while, and then said: "I'm going to end my seclusion. It's not a solution to continue to cultivate bitterly, and the efficiency is still too low... This way, I won't be able to catch up with the final decisive battle. I already have the initial power, and next, I will devote more energy to obtaining opportunities."
After a pause, he continued: "You can continue to worry about the Yunlan Sect... What stage of development has Wu Tan City reached?"
"Don't worry, it's not at the stage of talking about marriage yet," Yun Meng replied smoothly.
Amon: "?"
After a moment of silence, he "tsk"ed and said, "I'm talking about Xiao Yan's situation. What stage has the plot reached? Your focus is a little off."
"Oh, that, I thought you were asking about Xiao Meng... Now Wu Meng and I are waiting to see her make a fool of herself." Yun Meng showed a slightly wicked smile on his face.
He raised his right hand and pinched the upper and lower edges of the monocle with his index finger and thumb, respectively. "I'm also very curious, what direction will Amon's love eventually lead to."
Amon raised the corners of his mouth and outlined a smile: "It's best not to try it easily. If you can guarantee that you complete the task, it's okay to try it. I will bless you.
"Of course, I can't guarantee what the final result will be. I can only say, I hope it's not a tragedy."
Yun Meng's smile narrowed slightly: "I'll take that as your blessing... For us, freedom has always been an illusion.
"If that guy Xiao Meng really controls her own destiny... I hope to give me a chance next time."
Amon stroked the monocle and smiled softly: "Okay."
The black gas in the cave subsided, and Amon's body sparkled with starlight. One after another, stardust-like rays of light gathered from all directions and merged into his body.
"Tsk... It seems that even my underlying logic is undergoing subtle changes in different worlds." He stared at Yun Meng with deep eyes.
