Exploring Immortality Cultivation

When the Yellow Robed King "devoured" the Mirage Demon, many demons "saw" it. Here, the ground teemed with Transformation Demons, and Spiritual Sense filled every inch of space; unless a circle was preemptively expanded with demonic power, doing anything stealthily was almost impossible. When the Mirage Demon killed the squid, no one stopped it; and when the Yellow Robed King ate the sea-born demon, most just exclaimed in surprise but none stepped forward to keep order.

This made Wang Qi witness once again the chaotic scene of the sea.

"Spirit Awakening Wisdom" is "Spirit Awakening Wisdom," it doesn't mean that all the "Skills" that civilized people possess have been endowed by Brother Tiandao. Demons that never learned to speak, even after reaching the Transformation Stage, still can't speak human language. Similarly, demon beasts that have always thought with the logic of wild beasts before Spirit Awakening and Transformation, will only become a bit quicker-witted and more capable of understanding after Transformation; their way of thinking won't change much.

If it's a Demon Sect with an orderly heritage or demons that have been under the influence of the Human Clan for a long time, they could develop the thinking patterns of intelligent creatures. But clearly, the Demon Clan in the sea cannot.

To the Dragon Clan, these Sea Demons are barely stronger than livestock.

Thinking with the logic of a wild beast for hundreds or thousands of years, in the end, they also can't think in the way of humans.

That is to say, this group of Sea Demons gathered together to form an "Army" cannot really be called an "Army"; it's truly a loose sand. That they can gather together and set up defenses is already a great miracle.

As for other things, heh.

"They are not imbeciles, but are limited by the thinking of wild beasts, so they seem like imbeciles. The West Sea Dragon King is stronger than all of them combined, that's why they are willing to submit," nodded Wang Qi, "Simple and crude."

"If you were to use the thinking of the Human Clan and talk to these foreign Demon Clans about interests and compromises, they would instead think you're weak and malicious, just like a toad," Zhen Chan cautioned, "They like straightforwardness."

Wang Qi nodded, "After all, they're wild beasts; their intelligence isn't sufficient to comprehend things like 'long-term interest.'"

After subduing that Mirage Demon, the Yellow Robed King spat out a name plate. That was proof of the Mirage Demon's affiliation under the Dragon King. Wang Qi ignored the nameplate and instead controlled the Yellow Robed King to move towards a certain place in the sea.

That place was a flat rocky area, engraved with crude Forbidden Techniques, serving as a drill field. With Wang Qi's Eyesight, he couldn't even see the end. In the seawater, a school of Whale Demons rose up with Whale Songs, serving as horns, and multiple groups of jellyfish transformed into thousands of colors, acting as signal flags. The one commanding this troop of Demon Soldiers in training was a deep purple octopus. The Yellow Robed King could not see through that creature's reality, it was obviously above a Demon God. With the octopus's Wisdom, transformed demons led their clans in ceaseless rallying and dispersing according to flag commands, deriving changes. Wang Qi couldn't immediately discern the origin of this Array, but he did see that the octopus was taming this group of demons as if they were wild beasts. If any did not follow the flag commands, the octopus would give the underground Demon Clan a harsh lesson. There were at least tens of thousands of Demon Clans gathered on what was called a drill field, but it was able to keep an eye on them. This multitasking ability far exceeded that of Wang Qi.

"In the sea, only Mahayana Realm Demon Clans or a few Demon God Stage Great Demons have sufficient Wisdom to take command," Zhen Chan evaluated. When Wang Qi's Level was still very low, his Ring Grandpa could even double as radar. But now at the Dragon Clan's territory, he dared not expose himself. Over eighty thousand years, countless strong ones who challenged the Dragon Clan had been wiped out. It was not much harder for Mahayana Dragon Clan to kill another clan's Mahayana than it was to kill a fly. At this time, he wouldn't dare to reach out with his Spiritual Sense.

With this, Wang Qi expressed his utmost agreement. The limit of a Transformation Demon Clan's Spiritual Sense covered a thousand miles. Yet the West Sea Dragon King's Spiritual Sense, it seemed could penetrate the Nine Heavens Gang Wind and enter a synchronous orbit! This was simply unimaginable.

Next to the drill field, there was another place, a sea-bottom volcano area, where the water temperature was slightly higher, and for some it was considered a more comfortable environment, in the middle of the volcano area there was a Sea Dragon. That was akin to a supervisor for the West Sea Dragon King. It was just that Wang Qi only saw a bell-shaped Magic Artifact turned upside down, which looked quite similar to one Wang Qi had confiscated before, probably the Dragon Clan's tent or something like that.

The closer to the center of the volcanic area, the stronger the Demon Clans. They either had refined treasures to protect themselves or simply used Essence Qi and Demon Essence to wrap themselves up in a cocoon, while some resided in rudimentary buildings.

And on the outer edges of the volcanic area, there were mostly Transformation Demon Clans that had recently pledged their allegiance.

The arrival of the Yellow Robed King drew the sideways glances of a host of Great Demons. However, the body of the Yellow Robed King was a manifestation of the Heart Demon Curse, and the Heart Demon Curse did not mesh with Spiritual Sense. Thereby, in these demons' eyes, the Yellow Robed King either seemed odd but not particularly strong, or was inscrutable.

The arrival of the Yellow Robed King attracted the attention of a few individuals, and a deformed, obese figure approached. His Original Form was either a whale or a seal, most likely some sort of sea mammal with thick subcutaneous fat. He approached the Yellow Robed King and inquired, "Newcomer, where did you come from before? What's your name?"

"My surname is Sha ("kill"), and my name is Liantai," Wang Qi improvised a fake name, "Friends from the coast honored me with the nickname 'Yellow Robed King.'"

"Liantai, right? How about we team up and discuss how to fight tomorrow," Wang Qi suggested, his face breaking into a smile. At this, the Yellow Robed King let out a creepy, unpredictable laugh that sent shivers down one's spine. Naturally, the group of demons could never have come up with an integral-based fair competition system grounded in mathematics. According to the information Wang Qi had gleaned from the Mirage Demon, the appointment of positions within the Patrol Navy was most likely decided through chaotic free-for-alls or arena battles. At such times, the more clever Sea Demons naturally thought to game the competition system.

Unfortunately, Wang Qi wasn't there for some "wealth". His plan was to find out the plans of the West Sea Dragon King and then leave. Teaming up was of no use to him.

The Whale Demon was infuriated by the mockery of the Yellow Robed King. After all, the diets of some whale species included soft-bodied creatures like squids and octopuses. For the Giant Whale to seek out the Yellow Robed King, a sort of "advanced cuisine" was already a sign of respect. Seeing the octopus's lack of appreciation, the Giant Whale firmed up their intention to devour this octopus when the opportunity arose during the arena battle.

Unexpectedly, the Yellow Robed King suddenly made a move. His numerous tentacles lunged towards the Whale Demon's body. The Whale Demon, taken by surprise, reacted with incredible speed. It bowed its head and arched its back, pointing its nape towards Wang Qi. Such an action, if performed by a human, would mean exposing one's vital parts to the enemy. But for this Whale Demon, it meant pointing its blowholes towards its foe.

A majestic Essence overflowed, mixed with a low and shocking rumble, conjuring an unmatched colossal force. The Whale Song reverberated in all directions. Behind the Yellow Robed King, several Transformation Demons inadvertently caught up in the blast had blood streaming from their gills and eye corners, diffusing in the sea.

However, the Yellow Robed King, bearing the brunt of the assault, showed no sign of harm!

His body shimmered with yellow scales, and countless Dao Heart Pure Yang Mirrors on the surface reflected the Giant Whale's Divine Skills, causing the terrifying sound to cancel itself out. This action by the Whale Demon also squandered its last chance of escaping—Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell instantly invaded its body. The Giant Whale, with all its might, swung a fist at Wang Qi, stirring the sea water into violent currents. Unfortunately, most of the Yellow Robed King's body was entirely unaffected. However, the intense Essence of the Demon Clan caused a slight instability in the Yellow Robed King's operations. Wang Qi, not wanting to reveal himself, quickly released the Giant Whale. As the Giant Whale retreated, it suddenly realized something was wrong and shouted, "You're poisoned!"

The Yellow Robed King chuckled but neither confirmed nor denied the accusation. The Heart Demon Curse Power tumbled inside the Giant Whale a few times, and it felt its Demon Energy rapidly escaping its control. Its once prideful, vast Essence Qi proved utterly useless in the face of the unknown toxic Divine Skills, collapsing like a defeated army—and the rate of collapse was accelerating!

The Yellow Robed King once again wrapped up the body of the Whale Demon, pulling it into an "oral organ" below his own body. The Giant Whale screamed, "You can't kill me! Don't kill me! No!" But it couldn't resist at all, and was soon suppressed by Wang Qi.

The Original Body of the Whale Demon was terrifyingly massive, and its inner Essence Qi was exceptionally abundant. The digits before Wang Qi surged once again, more replenishing than "consuming" over a dozen Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.

"Demons have almost negligible resistance to the Heart Demon Curse," Wang Qi mused, having suppressed the Whale Demon, glancing around. All these transformable marine creatures were treasures!

After the Yellow Robed King "consumed" the Whale Demon, immediately a demon scolded, "Bastard! What do you think this place is!"

To the demon that had spoken out, Wang Qi had no intention of replying. He merely controlled the Yellow Robed King to stretch out a tentacle, tie up the opposition, and soak them with the Heart Demon Curse as well.

This extremely arrogant act drew the gaze of countless demons. The Spirit Sense of the demons around him was almost tangible, unashamed. Had the Yellow Robed King's body not been the manifestation of the Heart Demon Curse, they might have fully seen through the specifics of this Sea Demon. This was exactly what Wang Qi wanted. No longer showing any courtesy, he raised the Heart Demon Curse Light, directly countering the Spirit Sense, sending the Heart Demon Curse Power into the bodies of the demons.

The demons near the Yellow Robed King's body paled instantly. Initially, they felt a mysterious force inside them that they didn't take seriously. But then the force began devouring their Demon Energy quickly. The terrible sensation of uncontrollable Demon Energy prompted several demons to cry out at once, "He's poisoned!"

A bit further away, other puzzled demons swiftly probed with their Spirit Sense to understand what was happening. The Heart Demon Curse Light, following these probes of Spirit Sense, contaminated another batch. Fortunately, these demons were knowledgeable and not truly foolish, quickly grasping the situation.

But having understood, they gasped in shock.

Such a terrifying poison! Capable of killing through Spirit Sense!

This octopus was probably skilled in illusion and poison, merging the two into one, cultivating fearsome techniques!

However, this time, Wang Qi didn't control the Yellow Robed King to "start eating" immediately but instead looked up puzzledly at the octopus on the training field, directing others.

Just now, he felt one of his Heart Demon Curse Power was destroyed. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
